REVIEW & RELEASE: Conor

CONOR

(Boston Underworld)

Author: A. Zavarelli

Release: December 27, 2018

Genre: Dark Romance

Blurb  

Ivy

When I stumbled into a mafia run club seeking a job, I was looking for protection. Little did I know I’d need protection from him.

Conor O’ Callahan was exactly the kind of danger I was trying to avoid. He was gorgeous as sin with an accent hotter than Hades, but that’s where the charm ended.

He was also cynical, cold, and downright cranky.

So, you could imagine my surprise when he gave me a proposition. Marry him or lose my life.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I’ve learned to do what’s necessary to survive in this world, and that includes marrying a mobster. Regardless of what he might say, it’s only temporary.

It’s not like I’m going to sleep with him. Or fall for him.

Because that would be stupid, right?

MY REVIEW

I. LOVE. CONOR! I love both the book and the man. That's it, that's all!

Addictive and page-turning, this gem was read in one sitting.

Conor. GAH! His accent is SO sexy! Not to mention his protectiveness and how downright brutal he can be should someone threaten what's his. Sigh!

Ivy's living situation pulled at my heartstrings. I loved how strong and capable she was.

As for these two together, they just burn up the sheets!

A. Zavarelli knows how to pull you in and keep you enthralled.

Conor is a novella and a character to be devoured.

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

ABOUT THE AUTHOR 

A. Zavarelli is a book junkie, cat lover, and traveler when plagued by intense cases of wanderlust. She likes all things chocolate, books that come with warnings, and putting her characters through hell.

Her tales have been known to flirt with darkness and sometimes court it unabashedly altogether. Revenge themes and tortured souls are her favorites to write and this gives her an excuse to watch bizarre and twisted documentaries in her spare time.

She is slightly obsessed with Theo James and funny animal memes. If you don’t mind these things, you should add her on facebook.

REVIEW: Dark Castle

Dark Castle

The Dazzling Court Book 1

Author: Fawn Bailey 

Blurb

Forget white knights, bring on the dark princes! This is a truly dark fairytale. I hope you have your magic wand at the ready... you're going to need it! – Jade West, USA Today bestselling author

From USA Today bestselling author Isabella Starling writing as Fawn Bailey, a contemporary, dark fairytale trilogy filled with luxury, lies and seduction.

Once upon a time, a prince stole my heart. But that wasn't enough for him. He wants to own me, and I'm more than eager to kneel for him. Being the heir to a kingdom, Prince Olivier Bellamy has all the gold I've ever dreamed of... and getting married to him is the only way for me to save myself and my loved ones.

Unfortunately, the battle for his heart won't be easy. A royal competition for Prince Olivier means I'm going up against twelve other girls - and they are as beautiful as they are ruthless. But I'm not going down without a fight. I'm not Amber Jonathan, poor little girl from the wrong side of the tracks anymore. I'm finally ready to wear the crown. And I'll do anything to get it.

But not everything is as it seems at the royal court. Dark secrets, castle intrigue and hidden twists await me on my journey to the throne. And soon enough, I realize Prince Olivier isn't the only royal interested in my hand...

Someone else wants more than just his ring on my finger. The royal bast*rd, Bruno, will stop at nothing to put his heir inside me. And just when I think I have the money in my pocket, and Olivier wrapped around my little finger, the rules change... and the games truly begin.

Dark Castle is the first book in The Dazzling Court trilogy. Amber's story continues in Wicked Prince and Ever After.

MY REVIEW

OMFG! Fawn Bailey NAILED this story! Dark Castle is an original story with unforeseeable twists that will have you BEGGING for more!

This book is compelling and addictive. I was incapable of putting it down. It completely eclipsed anything else that was going on.

Naughty, carnal and ruthless this page-singeing, panty-melting story has me feeling completely drunk on it.

Amber started out as a meek mouse but as the story progressed, her defiance of the Queen made me giddy. I found her naive and materialistic but I know her character will grow.

Olivier is still a mystery to me. I have a feeling there is a dark side we have yet to see. I’m on tenterhooks to see his true character.

Bruno intrigues me and I cannot wait to see how is character develops and how it relates to the overall plot.

Amazingly written, bold and thrilling Dark Castle will captivate and titillate until the very last word.

I’m downright begging for the next book.

Be forewarned that this book ends on a cliffhanger.

MY REVIEW

An anthology that satiates all your cravings for romance. From naughty to nice and from M/F romance to taboo M/M/M with a rockstar and fire Chief thrown in what more can we ask for?

Drummer Boy by HB Jasick was a quick, love at first sight read.  A M/M romance.  I loved the friendships and the setting of the story.  The heat was a low simmer.  I would have loved to see more interaction between these two lovers.

Dealing with Christmas by Anna Lee:  Was absolutely hilarious.  I want more!

Bound By Obsession by Aleisha Maree: A naughty read and I’m dying for more.  Love between a drug and alcohol addicted, Christmas hating Rockstar and a take-no-shit, Christmas loving waitress seems doom to fail… Will it?

Red and Green by Tiffany Carby: A sweet romance between a sexy fire Chief and a travelling nurse.

Screwed by Ember-Raine Winters: Is love between a sexy MMA fighter and a virgin therapist possible?  An intriguing read that had my rapt attention.

Baby, it’s Cold Outside by Faith Ryan:  A taboo M/M/M romance and the naughtiest of these stories, I absolutely devoured it. 

Be warned!  These are snack-sized reads that will leave you begging for more.  Meant for those who love a dose of the naughty alongside the nice.

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

REVIEW: Your Sound

Your Sound

(Sherbrooke Station, #3)

Author: Katia Rose

Pub Date: Dec 1, 2018 

Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, Romance 

Molly Myers is just your average groupie next door.

Literally.

The rock star whose posters cover her bedroom wall is banging her roommate right on the other side of it. Even for Molly, reigning queen of embarrassing moments, the situation is epically awkward. Every thump of the headboard is just one more reminder that the lead singers of famous bands don’t date bumbling shy girls too anxious to leave their own rooms.

JP Bouchard-Guindon wasn’t looking for Molly’s room when he accidentally burst through the door, but the wild-haired girl lying there in her underwear was certainly worth the detour.

As the keyboardist for Montreal’s latest indie rock sensation, JP has met his fair share of fangirls. He’s always ready to throw up some finger guns for a photo. What he’s not ready for is the way skittish, wide-eyed Molly Myers gets stuck inside his head.

A practical joker and a social recluse are the last people anyone expects a connection between. She’s silence aching for a voice, and he’s sound with a craving for quiet. Their differences will either pull them together, or fracture their worlds when they push them apart.

MY REVIEW

Your Sound by Katia Rose is a phenomenal read! It's her best work to date and focuses on finding your true self and your inner strength.

I was completely engrossed in this third installment in the Sherbrooke Station series. It is smart, entertaining and filled with love, family and laugh-out-loud moments.

"There's actually a part of me that wants to be out there, a part of me that's fearless enough to throw my door open and complete the simple task of saying hello,.." - Molly

Molly is somewhat shy and awkward. She has social anxiety and does not have much confidence but, she does have an absolute love of music.

"I don't know what scares me more: the things I feel when I'm with her, or the emptiness that creeps in when I'm not." - JP

JP, is the funny one, the one that no one ever takes seriously.

When JP and Molly meet, they start up a friendship. Both want more but believe they are not good enough for the other.

Will they risk getting hurt for a once in a lifetime love?

I connected with Molly. Although she is shy and awkward, she is also smart and cute. I loved seeing her transformation from shy girl to the woman she becomes.

JP is the sweetest, most romantic character I have come across. The way he helps build up Molly's confidence as well as the friendship he provides is simply beautiful. He is also funny as hell!

This was an extraordinary read. If Katia Rose is not yet on your auto-buy list, she should be.

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

AUTHOR BIO

Katia Rose is not much of a Pina Colada person, but she does like getting caught in the rain. She prefers her romance served steamy with a side of smart, and is a sucker for quirky characters. A habit of jetting off to distant countries means she’s rarely in one place for very long, but she calls the frigid northland that is Canada home.

REVIEW & RELEASE: Endless

Endless

Series: Merciless Saga #4 

Author: Willow Winters 

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: November 13, 2018

BLURB 

He holds a power over me like no one else ever could.

Maybe it’s because my heart begs to beat in time with his. 
Maybe it’s because my body bows to his and his alone. 

Maybe it’s because he thought he loved me before he even laid eyes on me.

He thought wrong, it wasn’t me he thought he loved, and nothing has made me suffer like that little secret has.  He thought I belonged to him, but he was wrong. It was never supposed to be me.

Our memories are deceiving, but I know what I want now.
What I need more than anything.
I won’t rest until he’s as much mine as I am his. 
It’s always been him.

MY REVIEW

Endless is the flawless, emotional and enthralling conclusion to the Merciless Series.

As I was reading, I couldn’t help but draw a small parallel to Romeo and Juliet, believing that if their story had continued, it would’ve been exactly like Carter and Aria’s.

The stakes have never been so high. War is coming. It is all out war. Fighting for vengeance. For Family. For Love.

Carter and Aria will not be unaffected. As Carter prepares for war with the Talvery’s, Aria is waging a war on Carter to change his mind and his plans for her family. The biggest war of all however is for their love. Will it survive?

Carter has never been more heartless and cruel than in this book. He has also never been more loveable and swoon worthy.

Aria has never had so much backbone and grit.

This is the cherry on the proverbial cake of this series. I’m sad it’s over.

The Merciless Series is highly addictive filled with angst, love and all the feels you are looking for.

I’m eager to delve into and devour more of the Cross Brothers!

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

Willow Winters is so happy to be a USA Today, Wall Street Journal and #1 Contemporary Bestselling Romance Author. She likes her action hot and her bad boys hotter. She certainly doesn’t hold back on either one in her writing!

Willow started writing after having her little girl, Evie, December 2015. All during her pregnancy with Evie she continued to read and she only wanted to read romance. She was reading a book a day — sometimes two.

In January 2016 Willow was staying up late with Evie and just thinking of all these stories. They came to her constantly so she finally sat down and just started writing. She always wanted to do it so she figured, why not? Today Willow cannot be happier for making that decision!
