Review: Taste of Fate - Sophie Ash

Taste of Fate by Sophie Ash
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

A Taste of Fate by Sophie Ash is a paranormal romance and book one in the Vampires of Sanguine series. Tavia is a good friend, she sacrifices herself to the vampires to save her friend and becomes a blood pet to Cyan as part of an age-old agreement between the vampires and the humans, the only issue is that Cyan doesn’t want a pet. He enjoys being his own man, flitting from woman to woman and not answering to anyone. The only issue is that he hasn’t met Tavia, the strong willed, sassy human, but when he does his opinion changes, but he has already made a deal with her to not drink from her….a deal that is going to be challenging for both of them.

Cyan has been through a lot as a vampire and feels unworthy of a lot of things, but especially of a woman like Tavia. This causes him to push her away a lot and causes some tension between the two as well as misunderstandings, but underneath all the drama, there is genuine feelings between the two.

This story has a few twists and turns going on, with a short backstory on why the vampires get a human sacrifice and what makes the humans so scared. There is also a sub story between Tavia and her best friend which wasn’t my favourite thing, and I found Amy to  be a little judgy (but that’s just me). But I did enjoy the world building, as well as the relationship buildup between Tavia and Cyan. Overall, a good start to a series and I’ll probably pick up the next one!

Review: King of Nothing - Aurora Rose Reynolds

King of Nothing by Aurora Rose Reynolds
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

King of Nothing by Aurora Rose Reynolds is the story of Roman and Elora who are two people who find each other just like they are meant to. Through tragic circumstances they meet, and they become each other’s person, sharing their grief, life and who they are with each other, taking us on an emotional ride. Both characters have a connection to each other which is beautiful and emotional and the story touches on grief, loss and healing after bad things happen to you.

Roman and Elora are perfect for each other. Roman being stoic but sweet when it comes to Elora and definitely protective and Elora is a character who has been through so much but is still strong and just seems to give her heart to Roman.

Overall, a really great, emotional, sad, happy full of feelings standalone read!

Blurb:

I grew up the daughter of Riot MC president. But as much as I love the biker life, my dad insists I break out and live in the ‘real’ world.

After four years of college, everything is great until the night my boyfriend breaks things off.

Reeling and angry, I wander into a small bar and perch on a stool next to an older man. He’s hotter than summer in the Deep South and he goes by the name Steel.

We can’t resist the spark between us.

One night. No strings, no muss, no fuss.

Except for one snag…

When I find Steel again, my ex is bumming cash from the man he calls Dad.

Even worse, he’s one of my dad’s oldest enemies. Once Steel knows who I am, he’s more interested in my ties to the Riot MC than in the secret I have to tell him.

He’s the father of the baby I’m carrying.

My extended Riot family wants to protect me at all costs, but it’s hard to say whose hold I want to break out from more–theirs or Steel’s.

Author Bio:

Karen Renee is the author of the Riot Motorcycle Club, Beta, and O-Town series of books. She once crunched Nielsen ratings data but these days she brings her imagination to life by writing books. She has wanted to be a writer since she was very young, but it's taken the last twenty plus years for her to amass enough courage and overall life experience to bring that dream to life. Some of those life experiences came from the wonderful world of advertising, banking, and local television media research. She is a proud wife and mother, and a Jacksonville native. When she's not at the soccer field or cooking, you can find her at her local library, the grocery store, in her car jamming out to some tunes, or hibernating while she writes and/or reads books.

RELEASE BLITZ

Title: Clap Back

Series: Carter Brothers #4

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Trope: Bad Girl/Good Guy

Release Date: August 6, 2024

BLURB

Being a twin is great.

What isn’t great is having the hots for the same woman your twin does.

Been there, done that, have the t-shirt.

Since Auden Carter made that mistake in his teens, he’d promised himself never to do that to his brother again.

Hence why he’s tried so hard to stay away from Maven, the sexy bakery owner that seems to have been put on this planet to tempt him.

After months of watching his brother never make a move, Auden’s had enough. He tells his twin to either shit or get off the pot. Only, come to find out, his twin was never on the pot. He’d never had the hots for Maven at all, but her cute little assistant.

Unfortunately, at this point, he’d done his level best to appear undesirable to Maven, and had gone out of his way to make it very clear that he wasn’t interested.

He has a lot of work to do to convince her that he’s not the guy he’d been acting like for the last few months.

Luck is on his side, though, and soon Maven needs his help, giving him the perfect opportunity to worm his way into her life…and her heart.

But that help she needs turns into a desperate plea for protection, and all he has to do is quit his beloved job to give it.
It’s not every day that you are in love with your boss’s daughter, who just so happens to be the chief of police of Dallas, Texas—your beloved police department that you’ve worked at for your entire career.

It’s also not every day when that boss pulls out every stop, and ruins your life to the point where you’re not sure you can find your way out of the downward spiral he’s forced upon you.

There is one thing Auden knows for certain, though. Maven is worth it. He’ll fight the chief of police, or the entire world, putting his life on the line to do it, as long as it keeps her safe.
