Blurb

Monsters don’t often look like monsters on the outside. 

Forced to marry a man I should hate, I’m now bound to Damian. 

I sometimes wonder what he sees when he looks at me. Deer in headlights, I guess. 

What I see is clear.

Darkness.

Desire.

Carnal want.

A man with too much experience.

The night he took me he told me I belong to him. He proved it on our wedding night. And I believe him when he says he’ll keep me safe. He won’t let anyone touch what’s his.

But I can’t forget what he is. Can’t forget the things he’s done.

And no matter what, I can’t let myself fall in love with him.

4.5star
Ashley’s Review
Unholy Union is Book One in an all new duet by Natasha Knight! A True Queen of Mafia Romance this book has all the perfect ingredients for a successful mafia romance.

Damian and Cristina met on a dark night when she was nine. A night that forever changed her life and has plagued her since.

Now an adult, she’s tormented every year on her birthday by a gift that’s anything but wanted. But this year is different, this year marks the end of life as she knows it and a reunion she’s not ready for.

This book was suspenseful to say the least. I had no idea what to expect and what secrets awaited. So many twists and turns. Betrayal. Let’s not forget that gasp worthy ending!!!

This book is low on the steam scale but I have a feeling things are going to ignite in book 2.

4.5 stars

Cover Reveal: Bad Choices & Heartaches by Casey Diam

🔥🔥 HOT COVER REVEAL 🔥🔥

Coming September 20 from Casey Diam is Bad Choices & Heartaches, a standalone new adult sports romance with all the feels. Pre-order today!!

BLURB

Ryker Stanley was a stunning specimen of a human, a creation that was aesthetically flawless. He is also a jerk.

I know he hasn’t always been this way—after all, we were once best friends, but when our friendship ended, I watched from the sidelines as he made a series of bad choices, and left dozens of broken hearts in his wake.

He has the looks, the charm, the girls, and as an elite football player, he’s heading off to college months earlier than anyone expected. I need to stay in Alpen Springs, to continue to train for the Olympics.

My timing might not be perfect, but I need to fix things with us, and if the fire in his eyes is any indication, nothing, including our clothes, will be immune to its heat.

I don’t stand a chance of resisting.

Conflicting goals and distance be damned . . . I am about to entrust my heart to my ex-best friend who is known for breaking them.

My love is wasted like gemstones in the dust, walked over by an oblivious shoe. It takes many suffering years and layers of mountains to squeeze carbon into a precious stone. Now that I’m polished and hard like a diamond, he doesn’t get to kick me back into the dirt.

Men like him don’t love women like me.

They don’t love.

Period.

But he made me.

He’ll live with me.

Because diamonds are forever.

(Diamonds are Forever concludes this trilogy. Diamonds in the Dust (Book 1) and Diamonds in the Rough (Book 2) must be read to follow the story.)

Excerpt

Dragging both hands over his head, he tilts his face to the ceiling and walks away from me. “Fuck.” He stays at the far end of the room for a moment before turning back to me. His hair is even wilder than before when he finally drops his arms to his sides. A war rages in his eyes. For a minute, he’s not my kidnapper, but the man who cares about me. He’s just a man making himself vulnerable by opening up and dropping his defenses. “I don’t want to scare you, Zoe. After your father—”

“Don’t.”

Sighing, he comes back and picks up the medicine box. “I’m going to tell you a story. A young man goes to a market and sees a beautiful woman admiring a precious object. He can see she wants it, but when she opens her purse, she doesn’t have enough money. This man, he was paid to abduct that woman. He has two choices. He can either grab her, tie her up, and drag her away, or he can go up to her and tell her how beautiful she is and buy her that precious object she wants so much. He can do that for her and be kind, inviting her to dinner. They can have a good time, have great sex. He can ask her to go away with him and knows she’ll say yes. Tell me, Zoe. Which man is kinder? Which man is the most selfless?”

“The honest one,” I whisper.

A shutter drops in front of his eyes. The man who was reaching out to me a second ago retracts back into his shell. I mourn the loss, the almost-intimacy, but I can’t lie to him. I can’t betray myself. I can’t strengthen his warped belief that lies can smooth over his crimes.

Blurb:
She wants to forget him. He won’t let her go.

Remi Tanner was only supposed to be a pawn in my game. But I screwed up. I broke her. And now I have to find a way to fix it.

I want her.
I need her.
In the end, I’ll prove she’s the only thing that matters.

Ace Jagger wasn’t supposed to imprint himself on my heart. But he did, before he tore it from my chest and hurt me in the worst possible way.

He’s possessive.
Dangerous.
In the end, I’m not sure I can resist.

He might be the bad boy with no conscience, and I might the girl with nothing left to lose, but one thing’s for sure… He won’t stop until gets what he wants.

Me.

Tame Him is the second book in the Rebels at Sterling Prep series. It is a dark high school bully romance. If possessive, tattooed, motorcycle-riding alphaholes aren’t your thing, you probably won’t like this book!

Excerpt:
I shouldn’t be doing this. But I can’t stop.

I need him.

I need Ace the way thunder needs lightning.

His piercing blue eyes drink me in as I lather soap over my body, paying careful attention to my breasts.

“Fuck, Remi,” he breathes, torment etched into his expression.

Ace wants to do the right thing. He doesn’t want to rush me into making a decision I’ll regret, but right now, I really, really need him to be the reckless bad boy I know he can be.

I let my fingers glide down my stomach, shivering at my own touch. The water makes everything so slippery, so good.

“You’re not playing fair, Princess.” The words vibrate deep in his throat.

“Maybe it’s my turn to play dirty,” I say.

New Release +Review+ Giveaway: Fragile Things by Samantha Lovelock

 

Title: Fragile Things

Series: Folkestone Sins #1
Author: Samantha Lovelock

Genre: Dark New Adult Romance

Release Date: August 13, 2020

 

Blurb

Poe Halliday was an accident. A chance meeting that changed my life forever.

My mother didn’t have secrets; her secrets had her. After she disappeared, I had nothing.
Or so I thought.

When the invitation arrived, the opportunity to learn about my mother’s past was too great to pass up. Heading west to meet an aunt I had never heard of, I knew I was taking a risk, but I craved answers. Instead, I ended up with more questions, and now the dark history of this town threatens to tear me apart.

It’s all about him.

I knew this was a mistake.

Stella Bradleigh was a distraction. Something to play with when my shadows got too dark.

I spent my entire existence forced to live a life I didn’t want. There was only one way out.
Or so I thought.

When she arrived, none of us had any idea what it meant. Meeting the beautiful stranger with the mysterious past, I thought she would be a good time, and then I could just throw her away like all the others. Instead, she consumed me, and now she’s made me question everything I know to be real in my life.

It’s all about her.

I knew I was a mistake.
Sometimes what seems most fragile can’t be broken.

Folkestone Sins is a series of interconnected duets.  Fragile Things is the first book in Stella and Poe’s duet, and the first book in the series. This is a dark, mature high school/new adult romance. It contains situations and flashbacks that may trigger some readers, language that may be offensive, and scenes of a sexual nature (all consensual).  Recommended for 18+ only

Excerpt

“Can I help you?” I ask dryly without standing.

“Don’t you get snotty with me, you trashy bitch,” she hisses back at me. “Who do you think you are? There are rules here, and low-class sluts like you follow them or else.” 

Snotty? Me?

Momentarily taken aback by her hostility, it takes me a few beats to register the rest of her words. Trashy bitch, I can handle. Low-class, well, she’s not entirely wrong. But slut?

Nuh-uh. No way, no day.

I stand, pulling myself up to my full five feet eight inches, and get nose to nose with Fascist Barbie.

“Look, princess, I’m sitting over here, minding my own business. What the fuck have I done to offend your delicate sensibilities? Nothing. You don’t fucking know me. So. You. Don’t. Get. To. Call. Me. A. Slut.” I fire each staccato word at her. Though I’m genuinely bewildered by this girl’s unmistakable hatred towards me, I am also seriously pissed off by her shitty attitude. “Back the fuck up, Barbie, and leave me alone. Shoo.” Flicking my fingers at her dismissively, I stand my ground, waiting for her and her minions to leave. To my surprise, she leans in even closer, her cloyingly sweet perfume wrapping around me like a candy-scented lasso.

“That’s not how it works here. You don’t get to just show up out of the blue and jump the line.” She peers spitefully down her clearly after-market nose at me. “There are rules, and just because you’re a Bradleigh, don’t think they don’t apply to you.”

Ashley’s Review
Fragile Things is the debut novel by Samantha Lovelock. First I must say, I don’t think I’ve ever read a book by a first time author that was so well written and developed. I was literally shocked to realize that this was her first book. An amazing story that was well written and cohesive made this book a hit for me. This book packs lots of secrets and lots of steam.

Stella Bradleigh has spent he whole life shrouded in mystery from her mother’s secret past. When her mother disappears though she’s even more perplexed when she receives a letter of invitation to Folkestone, California to meet an aunt she never knew she had and more about her mother’s secret past.

What Stella finds is darkness and even more disturbing secrets that’ll change her life forever. Folkestone packs deep rooted history and pacts that’ll leave her questioning everything.

A solid story with well developed plot, characters and heart. I’m obsessed with Stella, Poe and the Heirs.

5 stars!
