Sneak Peek: The Kingmaker - Kennedy Ryan

                                    

“A dazzling, thought-provoking, layered romance that will keep you on the edge of your seat. A round of applause for one of the best books of 2019."

 -- L.J. Shen, USA Today bestselling author

All The King’s Men Duet, an all-new powerful and emotional duet from RITA ® Award winning author Kennedy Ryan, is coming October 28th, and we have the first sneak peek!

Power. Passion. Betrayal.

RITA®  Award-winning author Kennedy Ryan delivers the epic first installment of the All the King’s Men Duet.

 Raised to rule, bred to lead and weaned on a diet of ruthless ambition. In a world of haves and have nots, my family has it all, and I want nothing to do with it.

My path takes me far from home and paints me as the black sheep. At odds with my father, I’m determined to build my own empire. I have rules, but Lennix Hunter is the exception to every one of them. From the moment we meet, something sparks between us. But my family stole from hers and my father is the man she hates most. I lied to have her, and would do anything to keep her. Though she tries to hate me, too, the inexorable pull between us will not be denied.

And neither will I.

Sneak Peek from The Kingmaker

            A fat raindrop plops on my nose, sliding down the bridge, followed by another and then a wet succession.

            “Aw, hell.” I pull my jacket up on my elbows to provide some shelter for the two of us, but the rain trebles, more coming down and faster.

            “We still have four blocks before my place,” I say. “Sorry, but the weather is unpredictable this time of year.”

            Rain has already started molding the thin dress to her body, faithfully hugging every swell and curve. A hard shiver runs through her and her teeth chatter.

            “Come on.” I grab her hand and duck into an alleyway. An overhang provides a tiny patch of dry ground and shelter. “We may be able to wait it out. These showers sprout up and pass over like they never happened.”

            We’re sandwiched between two buildings and there is barely any light, but the moonlight finds her, sculpting shadows beneath her cheekbones and etching dark crescents of her lowered lashes. The rain has smeared her mascara, and water-slicked hair flattens to her head. She should look bedraggled, but she manages to be the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen.

            I bend, tentative at first, even after last night. Even after making love to her again this morning when I chased her up the stairs. I approach slowly, giving her the chance to refuse, but she doesn’t. She meets me, eyes open, lips eager, hands bunched in my wet hair. It’s a freshwater kiss, made of rain and passion.

Blurb:

Twelve men. A virgin queen. One arranged marriage.

The first time I met the boys of the Zodiac Brotherhood, I was forced to my knees for the introduction. Still grieving the death of my parents, I was a child queen, a pawn in my uncle’s agenda for wealth and gain. As my guardian, he had the authority to arrange a marriage upon my eighteenth birthday.

That meeting took place six years ago.

Now those boys are powerful men.

Twelve virile men that want to own me.

And I must spend a month with each one.

Bending and yielding to their desires and commands.

Shedding pieces of my innocence so long as my virtue remains intact.

Because they want a virgin queen after the last month concludes, and my uncle plans to auction me off to the highest bidder.

Out of the twelve men, only one has my heart.

And only one can claim my hand in marriage.

If only it were up to me to decide.

Review: Break My Fall - J.H. Croix

Break My Fall by J.H. Croix
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐ Stars

Break My Fall by JH Croix is the third book in the Swoon Series, but can be read as a stand-alone HEA novel. It centres on Evie and Dawson. Evie is a good girl who has had tragedy in her life and doesn’t necessarily see herself how everyone else does. This is in comparison to Dawson, a self confessed flirt, good looking guy, who like Evie seems to be carrying around a lot of baggage. What starts off as a slow burn becomes all consuming in this romantic read.

These two characters are pretty prefect together; they both have sensitive hearts and are carrying around a ton of baggage which we see rears its head throughout the book. There are particular poignant moments when characters are speaking to each other about their pasts as well as moments when secondary characters give some really good advice. It definitely felt as though this book centres on Dawson more and his struggles and how it affected not only the relationship he had with Evie but also with his family.

This was a really sweet romance with a few hot scenes scattered in between. Evie and Dawson belong together and this book looks at the lengths people will go to too have their happily-ever-after.

ARC received for a fair and honest review.

Review: Aries - Gemma James

Aries by Gemma James
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Gemma James is new to me as an author, but I have to say I feel like I’ve been missing out. This book is intriguing as it is going to be 12 books in the series, with Aries being the first one and my does it start off with a bang. Innocent Novalee is to have an arranged marriage but first she must spend a month with each brother from the Zodiac Brotherhood. This first installment starts her off with Chancellor Liam (Aries), although the other brothers do show up. To be honest I am immensely intrigued by Sebastian and can’t wait for that installment.

The relationship between Novalee and Liam runs both hot and cold as Liam tries to keep his distance from her. Novalee comes across as a really head-strong, independent young woman and it will be interesting o see how her character develops over the next few books. There was definitely a lot of red, hot passion in this book but it definitely left you wanting more.

The book is an easy, quick read and you feel like you have just gotten into it and then it ends, leaving you wanting more. The story line is intriguing and I am hoping that we find out more not only about Novalee but also the brotherhood as the books move along. Not necessarily a dark read in my opinion, but Heath is up next and it looks like he may be a hard taskmaster! Overall, a really enjoyable if short read!

Book Blitz: Lone Survivor - Anya Summers

BOOK BLITZ

Title: Lone Survivor

Series: Crescent City Kings #1

Author: Anya Summers

Publisher: Blushing Books

Genre: Steamy Contemporary Romance

Release Date: September 24, 2019

BLURB

She needed a fresh start…

ICU Nurse Sadie Montgomery moved to New Orleans after her entire world fell apart. The idea was borne of desperation as she sank deeper into a depression so deep and dark, she had stopped feeling. But it wasn’t until she crossed paths with Ram that she finally felt a spark of life return. The only problem is, she doesn’t want to be dependent upon anyone. The pain of losing it all is still too fresh. Not to mention, in Ram’s world, the women submit themselves body and soul. 

He wasn’t looking for love…

Former Army Ranger, Ramsey O’Malley, is not looking for a long-term commitment from a woman beyond a scene or two at Club Underworld. He doesn’t have the time nor the inclination to begin something he cannot finish, not as a single dad with a thriving psychology practice. Except, he is drawn to his newest patient. She’s forbidden, like the apple in the garden of Eden, and all he wants to do it take a bite. 

But they could not deny their desire…

When Sadie makes a surprise appearance at Club Underworld looking to take a walk on the wild side, Ram knows he cannot let another man have her. He wants to be the one to introduce her to submission. But can he convince her to submit? And will just one night be enough? 

Publisher’s Note: This steamy contemporary romance contains elements of power exchange.

Review: Lone Survivor - Anya Summers

Lone Survivor by Anya Summers
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Lone Survivor by Anya Summers is a beautiful written, tragic novel about loss and love. The book focuses on ICU Nurse Sadie Montgomery, a woman with a tragic past who has moved to New Orleans after losing both her husband and parents in tragic circumstances. Here she crosses paths with Ramsey Ram O’ Malley, a former Army Ranger who now works as a psychologist and is a Dom from Club Underworld. Both of them meet and passion is ignited and when Sadie makes a surprise visit to Club Underworld, Ram knows that he may never let her go.

This is a really sweet, amazingly written book which focuses on loss, guilt, PTSD, survival and love. Sadie and ram’s relationship isn’t easy, mainly due to past and present baggage, misunderstandings and misconceptions that they have about each other. It’s nice to see the development of their relationship throughout the book and it comes across as really honest and at times really brutal in what both characters are feeling or have felt due to others and their own emotional baggage. The story has a lot of side stories which are really interesting and it really shows an almost ‘real life balance’ that these two characters have throughout the book. PTSD scenes are handled with care and compassion and it really makes you think about those who do suffer from this debilitation illness.

The sexy scenes are amazing between the two characters. There’s a lot of dirty talk, passion, spanking etc. Everything that you want from a BDSM scene and it leaves you wanting more. Scenes between Sadie and other members of Club underground are really interesting and I would definitely like to see them in more books…hint, hint.

This was a really enjoyable, emotional roller-coaster ride of a novel and a must read for those who like a sexy read with some real life action too.

ARC received for a fair and honest review.
