Synopsis

The Vetrov name comes with expectation.

My role in this world is simple: do as Father asks and live my life how he planned it.
My future is already written: run the empire.
Old Values. Old Rule. Old Money.
Until her.

 Everything I do lacks purpose.
Everything I do is empty.
Women. Money. Power. It meant nothing.
Until her.

 When the Volkov rose showed up at my home a disgraced package, hand-delivered by a Vasiliev prince, I began paving my own path.
I vowed to make her bloom once more.

 She consumed me.
Her. Her. Her.

 But you can’t love a rose and expect not to be damaged by her thorns.
She cut me too deep.
And I bled out.
My soul fled.
All that’s left is a cold, calculating monster.

 I am Veniamin.
Volcanic. Victorious. Valiant. Vetrov.
When you enter my world to play games, prepare to lose.
In the end, I always find the thorn in my side, and I pluck it right out.

About Ker Dukey


My books all tend to be darker romance, edge of you seat, angst filled reads. My advice to my readers when starting one of my titles…prepare for the unexpected. I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be through lyrics or bed time stories with my sisters growing up. My mum would always have a book in her hand when I was young and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my own. I tend to have a darker edge to my writing. Not all love stories are made from light; some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth telling. When I’m not lost in the world of characters I love spending time with my family. I’m a mum and that comes first in my life but when I do get down time I love attending music concerts or reading events with my younger sister.

review ⭐⭐⭐⭐


Faded Gray Lines by Cora Kenborn is page-turning, exciting and absolutely gripping.

Leighton is in the wrong place at the wrong time.  She hears things that she should not know.  Because of this, there is a body lying motionless on the floor. 

Now she is between a rock and a hard place.  Embroiled with the DEA and the Carrera Cartel, she must look out for herself and her family.

She seeks the aid of her brother, who tells her to pack her bags and move in with him.

Mateo is a criminal in the Carrera cartel, he is brutal and feels no guilt.  That is until he meets his Star.  But, Star is not who she said she was and Star is not her real name, it’s Leighton.


With bad blood and secrets between them, will they be able to find their way back to the lovers they once were?

This was and edge of your seat romantic suspense.  It is the second book in the series and is told in dual POV.

Faded Gray Lines is an exceptional read and had my complete attention.

Leighton was a daring heroine.  She did what needed to get done in order to safeguard both her and her family’s future

Mateo was both obsessed with and repulsed by Leighton.  I loved that although he did not trust her, he protected her first and foremost.

This book was exciting and was definitely hard to put down.  It you are looking for a suspenseful, action-filled, steamy romance, this is for you!!

I received an ARC of this book.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

 MY REVIEW ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Holy Smokes!  This second instalment into the Blood Type series blew me away!

It’s originality and premise are one of a kind.

In Blood Match, the feud between Elle and Visage heats up and it comes to an unforeseeable climax!

Reyna and her counterparts at Elle are desperately trying to bring down Harrington and Visage.  It is a game of chess.  For every decision, there is a consequence.  No one is willing to put the queen in jeopardy.

Along the way, secrets are revealed, loyalties are tested and mayhem abounds.

Will Reyna and her friends defeat Harrington or, will Harrington destroy everything and everyone she loves?

KA Linde really knows how to write an intriguing story that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Reyna was a strong heroine and her character grew and changed with every chapter.  She is no longer the naïve girl she once was but she is still as caring and loving as ever.

Beckham, my dear Beckham.  I absolutely love him!  Dark, brooding, tortured yet so full of love and compassion.  He finally shares his past, but, his past has no intention of staying there!

This was an incredible read full of action, intrigue and love.  It is my favorite PNR romance so far this year!!

I received an ARC of this book.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.


EXCERPT

“Please.” She wasn’t above begging. “I’ve waited so long.”

 “I won’t bite you,” he said, his face sliding down between her legs. A fang nipped at the sensitive artery in her inner thigh. “But I bloody well want to.”

 Did she even care if he bit her? It would be a relief after what she’d endured. A relief to feel that connection so acutely. But she wouldn’t press him this time. She remembered how they’d gotten carried away. He’d taken too much, drank too deeply, and she could have died. They needed to take it slow.

 The blood. Not the sex. She needed that right now.

 His finger slicked through her wetness and began to massage her clit. She vibrated from the sensation. She didn’t know if she’d be able to hold out before he was inside of her.

 Then his eyes found hers again. His boxers disappeared and then his cock was in his hand. He massaged the length of himself as he watched her walk on a tightrope. Any second she was going to fall off and into oblivion. Nothing and no one had ever made her feel so good. No. No one had ever made her feel.

 “So . . . close,” she ground out.

 One powerful thrust seated him to the hilt within her. She cried out as he stretched her to the max. No warning or preamble just his cock inside of her, filling her to completion.

 Her walls clenched around him. She was so close, but instinctively, she knew he wasn’t going to let her release without him.

 Then he started moving. A slow pull out and a quick drive inward. Once, twice, three times.

 “Not yet,” he said, his eyes commanding.

 She tried to hold back. She could wait. Oh God, she could wait.

 Then he started up the rhythm again. Setting his own course, owning and claiming her body. Reclaiming everything that he’d lost in that one moment of stupidity on her part. In his one moment of weakness.

 She could see in his eyes the weight that loss had cost him. The toll it had taken on him for giving into his urges, for finally relinquishing his hold on himself. His eyes said he’d never do it again. His eyes were a promise.

 “Becks, come with me,” she cried, clutching the sheets.

 He grasped her hips and owned her body where he refused to own her blood. Taking everything she would give him, but not everything he wanted. Not everything she wanted.

 She was so close. She looked in his eyes and knew they would finish together.

 Reyna woke up screaming.

 She jolted upright in her overly plush king-sized bed with its too many pillows and too much softness. Her hair was plastered to her face. Sweat coated her body, soaking through the thin white shirt she’d worn to bed.

 Her eyes adjusted to the dim lighting and she looked around the small room. Everything was in place. Nothing had changed. Not a damn thing.

 Beckham wasn’t here.

 It had been a dream. A sick dream. A desperate horrible dream.

 Her hand moved to her cotton panties and found the slicked wetness still there. The ache still building in her lower half from lack of release. The aftereffects of the dream. It had felt so real. So very real.

 She had felt him moving inside of her. She had seen the love in his eyes. She had known his remorse.

 But none of that was real.

 That was her imagination at work. Conjuring his face just to torture herself with his absence. Remembering the feel of his body and the love in his eyes, only to know that he hadn’t found her. Aching for one more view of him.

 It had been fifty-five days since she’d last seen his face.

 Reyna made a mark in the notebook next to the bed.

 Fifty-six.

REVIEW:Kandiland

Cover Designer: RBA Designs
Cover Photographer: Perrywinkle Photography



Kandiland
Author: T.L. Smith
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release: June 19, 2018

Blurb:

 He was forbidden, my boss and incapable of loving me.
People talked about him, whispered about him in passing.
He was the king of his town.
And I was a visitor.
I was by no means a smart girl. Never loved with my head, always with my heart.
That fact alone almost killed me once.
 I should have listened the second time around.
But the king of this small town, had me starving. 
Had me raving his taste.
My name is Kandi, and he called me his Kandiland.
The king declared I was his medicine, and with each dose, he became better and better.
He was the perfect liar.
And I was his perfect Kandi.
Together, we were explosive, and toxic in every way.

Kandiland by TL Smith is a page-turning story, told in dual POV, about a woman trying to start over and finally put down roots after her husband’s death. 

Kandi moves to the city of Candy to start her life anew but, it is not easy.  People judge her for her uniqueness and the way she looks.

One enigmatic man however, wants her.  A man she fears, not because he will hurt her rather because he makes her feel again.  Not only is he bringing out things she shouldn’t feel while grieving, he also makes her feel things her husband never did.

Huxley is the King of the city is demanding, manipulative, ruthless and ALWAYS gets what he wants.  And, right now, he wants Kandi.

Kandi tries to stay away but she is drawn like moth to flame but Huxley has secrets.  Secrets he is unwilling to share.  Will Kandi finally be able to put down roots or will Huxley’s secrets and unwillingness to love force her to uproot once again?


I enjoyed this story tremendously.  It is intriguing and held my attention to the very last word.

Kandi was an overall strong heroine.  I love how she was not afraid of going toe to toe with Huxley even though no one else dared.  With that being said, there are a couple of instances in the book where I find her character a little weak.

Huxley’s character is definitively ruthless.  With Kandi, however, he shows another side.  She brings out the best in him.

This was a great read but I’m hoping there is more to their story.  I found that there were a few loose ends and plot points that the author either did not follow up on or just severed completely.

There was a small twist that I did see coming but this did not affect my enjoyment of the book.

Recommended for those of you who like a hot read with enough intrigue to keep you turning the pages right through the night!

I received an ARC of this book.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
