Review: Dirty Twisted Lord - Jordan Grant

Dirty Twisted Lord by Jordan Grant
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Dirty Twisted Lord is book 3 in the Godless Heathens series by Jordan Grant. Be warned straight away that there are triggers in this book that some readers might find disturbing. The story focuses on Killian and Millie. Killian is damaged, a psycho with a darkness in him that is unmatched. We see that he has trauma form his childhood which has totally affected how he is right now and how that shapes his obsession with Millie, a good girl, who although broken is the light to Killian’s darkness. Millie has also been through her own trials and tribulations and although she starts of as a scared young woman who blends reality and that of the unknown, she becomes empowered throughout the story and that can only be because of Killian as well as her undeterminable strength as a character.

This is certainly a dark and twisted tale that isn’t for the faint hearted. If you enjoyed the previous two books in the series, you’re going to enjoy this addition. There is just something so page turning about an anti-hero and his corruptible prey. An addicting read to a fabulously twisted series.

ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊

We are godless heathens.We are kings. And we will never be dethroned.

— Killian —

It’s spring semester, my last at the Asylum. Hydrotherapy. Electroshock. I’ve tried all the fringe methods. Still, they call me a sadist, a sicko, deranged. In here, though, I am lord.

I found the new girl on her knees in the campus chapel. She must not have heard. Salvation is dead. Kneel before me, sweetheart.

— Millie —

I shouldn’t be here. I’m not sick. I’m not like these people. I made a mistake. I want to go home. A guy found me in church today. He cocked his head and asked me what I was doing. Then, he stole a kiss so he could taste my pain. I don’t like it here.

I don’t belong.I promise I’ll be a good girl, daddy, if you let me come home.

ABOUT JORDAN GRANT

Jordan Grant is a lost soul, who changed majors three times in college before deciding on English. Because she has about as much patience as her beautiful, wonderful (did she mention ah-mazing!) younglings, she graduated a year early and then went to law school because, well...

She mentioned she’s a lost soul, right?

The lawyer-turned-romance-author has a special place in her heart devoted to edgy alpha males and bad boys with naughty mouths. She loves to get lost in the blur between love and hate and is especially fond of prince charmings with dents in their crowns and strife in their souls.

She is an avid fan of all things sweet including red wine and cupcakes (red velvet, please!). When she’s not daydreaming about the characters in her head, she enjoys (attempting to) garden, petting furry animals, and wrangling her family into day-trip adventures.

Review: Glass Skulls - LM Terry

Glass Skulls by LM Terry
My rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 stars

Glass Skulls is book 5 in the Rebel Skull MC series by LM Terry and boy is it a heartbreaker. The story focuses on Katie and Petey. Katie has had a hard life and she doesn’t let anything get in her way, but she has a darkness inside of her which comes out now and again and this is what happens one day when she attacks a man for trying to do bad things to Petey’s daughter Charlotte, a young girl who Katie has a soft spot for. Here starts the relationship with Petey, a relationship that was once filled with hostility is now changing and becoming something else.

Petey is under no delusions that he is a bad man and kills for a living, but the one bright spark in his life is his daughter Charlotte and he will do anything for her, even protect the woman who protected her when he couldn’t. Petey’s relationship with Katie is complicated (as she’s a complicated woman), how to you crack the façade of a woman who doesn’t trust or like to be touched? You just keep chipping away at her!

This was a beautifully written story with some complex characters. Knowing the background of Katie from previous books, you understood where she was coming form and how she was protecting her heart, even from her own family. Both Katie and Petey fight like cat and dog, but you definitely know that there is some mutual attraction underneath that. I also loved the fact that the family element is so strong, and everyone is trying to help one another, even when sometimes that can become overbearing.

Overall, this was a great MC story with an amazing storyline and great characters. I can’t wait to see what else comes form this series.

Blurb:
From USA TODAY Bestselling author Xavier Neal comes an all-new, best friends to lovers, forced proximity, bodyguard romance...

The assignment is simple.

Don't let the client get kidnapped.

Don't let someone kill her.

Don't confess that I've secretly been in love with her since we first met.

It's the last part that complicates what would otherwise be a fairly routine operation.

Well, that along with having to move said client aka my best friend into my penthouse because pretending to be a couple is now part of our cover.

All of these things make my mission significantly harder.

As does her ex-boyfriend who just so happens to be our boss.

As does my partner who gets a kick out of making things uncomfortable for me.

As does my best friend herself when she has us crossing a line we can't uncross.

To the company I work for, my main objective is to stop an unidentified threat from eliminating one of their most valuable assets.

But to me?

My only job is to protect the love of my life - or die trying.

(This is book 1 of a duet. The story will conclude in book 2, Shockproof)

About Xavier Neal

Review: Unholy Soul - Andi Rhodes & Laci Rose

Unholy Soul by Andi Rhodes
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Unholy Souls by Andi Rhodes and Laci Rose is book one in the new series ‘ Saints Purgatory MC’ and boy was it a great book. The story focuses on Soul and CeCe. Soul learns at an early age that the world is not a good place and there is a lot of evil in it. As an adult he started the Saint’s Purgatory MC to try and rid the world of those who were sinners and who couldn’t be redeemed. Enter CeCe, a woman who is thrown into the path of Soul due to a diagnosis by a doctor which is confounding. With the death of her beloved mother and her life spiralling out of control. CeCe has to depend on Soul a man who promises retribution for anyone who stand in his and CeCe’s way.

I loved the story between Soul and Cece straight away, there was instant chemistry and CeCe definitely had verbal diarrhoea at points which was hilarious. Soul is also dark and broody, and I liked the introduction to him and other characters at the start of the series and how they became who they are.

Soul and CeCe just work and even though there are times that Soul makes decisions without conferring with CeCe to begin with, you understand why and also how sassy CeCe is in retaliation to being left in the dark. This is definitely a delicious start to a new series, and I can’t wait to see what else happens as the series progresses.
