Review: Demon’s Mercy

Demon’s Mercy

Dark Protectors Book 9

Author: Rebecca Zanetti

Synopsis 

Duty meets desire . . .

Mercy O’Malley hates killing people. So when she’s assigned to take out Vampire-Demon Logan Kyllwood, she lures him to a seedy bar in Scotland, then decides to kidnap him instead. How can she cold-bloodedly end all that heat, those green eyes, that ripped body?

Unfortunately for Mercy, attempted murder and kidnapping are just foreplay for the Kyllwood brothers. Logan may be the youngest of the bunch, but death and violence are already a way of life.  Now he’s ready to complete a painful, terrifying ritual to become one of the Seven, dedicated to protecting this world from the most dangerous evil it’s ever known. But first he has to deal with a blackmailing Fey, a ransom demand and his own pounding need for the last female he ever should have fallen for . . .

MY REVIEW

This is another entertaining and thrilling instalment into the Dark Protector series.

Logan Kyllwood is a hybrid. Part demon, part vampire, he is without a doubt possessive and protective. Having plans to become part of the Seven, he is not looking for a mate.

Mercy O’Malley is a feisty and headstrong Fae. She makes it her duty to always have a purpose. That purpose is stopping the Seven from indoctrinating Logan into their midst. Her future already planned, she is not looking for love.

When these two come together, however, their plans may just go up in smoke.

I loved Mercy and the fact that she is no damsel in distress. She outsmarts Logan in many ways and I enjoyed every second of it.

Logan is proud, protective and strong but is all about family. He does what’s necessary to keep the ones he loves safe.

The heat and passion between these two was H.O.T! Their back and forth was witty and fun. Together, they are the perfect couple.

The pace was good and the action kept coming.

I love this world Rebecca Zanetti has created. It is original and I always come back for more.

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

MY REVIEW ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is the second part to a duet that concludes the overwhelmingly emotional journey of two star crossed lovers and how they must battle with outside forces, secrets, fate and themselves for their happily ever after.

This second instalment starts exactly where book one left off.  Damien is being eaten alive by regrets and sorrow.  His actions may be difficult to understand but, in my opinion, he is a “man on fire”.

This story is wonderfully written and is just as heart wrenching and full of feeling as the

first.  However, for me, in this installment, the paced lagged a little.  There was a lot of past references from the first book and it spans a few years in the first few chapters.

Eventually there was a plot twist I did not see coming (but should have) and the pace picked up and the story flourished. 

This author is able to write such entertaining heartfelt stories with twists and turns you just do not see coming!  I loved being immersed in the story and being shocked and surprised at all the unexpected happenings.

This is a wonderful conclusion to this duet.

Recommended to all those who will brave a shattered heart that will eventually be mended piece by excruciating piece.

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

Excerpt

She couldn’t take it anymore and started pushing me to get free from my grasp. “Stop! I hate you, Damien! Do you hear me? I fucking hate you!” she yelled over and over again, aching to make herself and me believe it. 

My heart broke.

My fingers twitched.

And tears threatened to surface.

However, I wouldn’t let up and just kept caressing her, kissing her, whispering that I loved her. Battling her hateful words with my loving ones. I could feel she was reaching her breaking point, as much as she could. Her wrist suddenly slipped through my grip and she shoved me with so much force that she was able to slap me across the face. Going full speed to do it again, but I intervened by grabbing her forearm, pinning her to the blanket. Locking down her petite frame with my flawed heart and beaten body.

She laid there beneath me, panting profusely, emotionally and physically consumed with tears cascading down the sides of her face. For a moment, I allowed her to take my breath away. In my eyes, she’d never looked so fucking beautiful.

So goddamn breathtaking.

So fucking mine…

I leaned forward and kissed away all her tears, tasting her nightmares, her memories, her love and hatred for me. Tenderly kissing my way to her lips while her body continued to shudder from my intense, overpowering love. Overwhelming her emotions and overriding her thoughts the way only I could ever do. Before another second slipped by, I kissed her for all the years I didn’t, for all the times I couldn’t, for all the moments I so desperately wanted to. Losing myself in her. Almost like I was trying to kiss the agony and pain I caused right out of her. Wanting to hold her tormented burdens, inflicted solely by my mistakes and regrets.

REVIEW: Bad Business

Bad Business A Bad Boys of Sports Novel  

By: Nicole Edwards
Release Date: March 27, 2018

Synopsis:

This player’s got a lot to learn if he wants to score . . . with the boss’s daughter.

Stone: Football is more than a game to me. It’s my calling. Becoming the Dallas Wranglers’ starting quarterback before I retire is a dream come true, but with a few wins under my belt, suddenly everyone wants a piece of me. And even though being in the spotlight has its perks—beautiful women, star treatment, more beautiful women—what really gets me sweating is the watchful gaze of my sexy-as-hell PR coach, Savannah Andrews. The catch? Her father is kind of my boss. . . .

Savannah: In my family, football is big business. When your dad owns an NFL franchise, you learn a thing or two about schmoozing, and from what I can tell, it’s not a skill in Jason Stone’s playbook. Sure, the veteran quarterback is literally larger than life. With broad shoulders, muscles on muscles, and a mouth made for kissing, he may be one of the hottest men in the league—and I should know. I’ve turned down enough players to start my own all-star team. But those guys just wanted to get close to my father. Meanwhile, Stone is getting temptingly close . . . to me.

The Bad Boys of Sports come to life in these sexy standalone novels by New York Times bestselling author Nicole Edwards:

My Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was a funny, fast-paced sexy read.  It’s not what I was expecting when I picked up this novel It is so much better. 

Jason Stone is a veteran QB drafted to a new team with a losing streak.  He is only focused and looking forward to winning another Super Bowl.  Throughout the years, Jason has been called the “bad boy” of football.  His reputation is well earned from all the women, booze and parties he has partaken of.   He is 34 and a little jaded from the many years of women seeing him only as a paycheck

Savannah is a 29 -year -old executive vice president and chief public relations officer.  She meets Jason at a party hosed by her father.  Both of them do no want to be there for different reasons.

Upon their first meeting, there is a connection, a spark.  Their banter and teasing had me smirking and laughing.  I enjoyed her best friend’s antics as well. He does not know who she is but she knows who he is.  She has been a good-girl all her life but with him, she wants to be oh so bad.  He does not intend to be sidetracked or attracted to the owner’s daughter.  He is not expecting to have a one and done with her either, but he does.  The only problem?  He can’t stop thinking about their night together.  He wants more. 

This book had me turning the pages.  The banter when they first meet is adorable and cute.  He teases her and I was completely enjoying and loving the repartee.  I loved the chemistry between Jason and Savannah.  It is scorching hot.  They both like control in their lives however during the intimate moments, Savannah relents and gives up all control.

I would have enjoyed a bigger look into the secondary characters like Savannah’s friend or even Savannah’s past with her mother.  However, when all is said and done, this is an extremely enjoyable read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Loveswept for this ARC.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
