<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">A confirmed city-girl, Eva moved to rural Western Massachusetts in 2014. She found herself living in the woods with no job, no friends (unless you count the turkey, deer, and coyote roaming the backyard), and no children underfoot, wondering what on earth she had been thinking. But as it turned out, it was the perfect setting to take all those yarns spinning in her head and weave them into steamy love stories.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">A romantic at heart, Eva looks forward to date night all week. The perfect evening includes well-crafted cocktails, a fabulous perfume, Cherry Garcia ice cream, and her husband, of course. If you add good friends, live jazz, and impossible shoes, she will follow you anywhere.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Eva holds a BA from Boston College, and a JD from the Washington College of Law. She spent a career working in domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, and civil rights. Aspects of this work often find their way into her books.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When she's not writing sexy stories, trying to squeeze information out of her tight-lipped sons, or playing with the two cutest dogs you've ever seen, Eva's creating chapters in her own love story.</span>

<b><u>Review</u> ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I FLOVED this book, IMHO it's the best one yet. In fact I was that drawn into the story I read it in one day. This features Riley and Cameron, we've not really met either character before, though both have been hinted at/been in the background. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I either want to BE Riley or marry her (even though I'm straight and been married for 24 years). God that woman is kick-ass. Cameron was pretty decent too, though he paled in comparison to her absolute amazingness. My word she led him a merry dance with her determination to see justice served. I felt that he showed a great deal of respect for Riley, even though he too wanted to protect her a little too much at times.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In earlier books I'd got the impression that many of these super strong females had been spanked into submission by their alpha's and were pretty much toe-ing the line. The last book threw a few doubts around that, this totally blows it out the water. There is a much stronger feel of discontent amongst the women, not particularly regarding their male so much as the patriarchal nature of their society as a whole. There was mention of an underground network that helped females escape less enlightened mates, and we discover that those <i>Bae Diogel</i> girls haven't been quite as well behaved and meek as it might first appear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now if you don't like alpha males who decide when their mate has been naughty, and spank/welt her ass soundly when she is, then you probably won't like this. SO STEP AWAY, OR AT THE VERY LEAST PROCEED WITH CAUTION. I'd hate to see negative reviews on a book that clearly states that it has spanking and that in this parallel universe shifter males are in charge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another thing I will throw out there is that this finishes with a part of the story line left 'hanging'. I wouldn't call this a cliff-hanger and we do see Cameron and Riley's story reach a HFN point <i>BUT</i> the ending almost isn't an ending. HOWEVER that isn't a criticism as I can see quite clearly that it's a lead up to the next book. Part of me feels like Riley should continue to be the heroine, however so far each book has featured a separate couple, so I'm not making any assumptions. I do think she and some of the <i>Bae Diogel</i> girls will be playing a significant role in that book though. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a sneaking suspicion this may be the penultimate book, though I really REALLY hope it isn't because I quite simply haven't had enough of this world yet. However they do say to always go out on a high, and with how the series has been shaping up so far I do have high hopes for the next book.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whilst this has an ongoing background story, and characters from previous books, I firmly believe you CAN read it as a stand-alone. It contains a few very mild spoilers for previous books (not many though) and seems to explain things I already knew in a way that didn't feel tedious or repetitive, but would allow someone new to the series to pick up on what they've missed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you love shifter romances or domestic discipline stories then I highly recommend this book. I can't wait for the next one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
BLURB:</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>She thought she could run from her mate. Then he lassoed her.</b>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Riley decided years ago that she would be better off on her own, but when the alpha of the local pack finds out there's a lone wolf causing trouble on his turf he takes matters into his own hands.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As far as Cameron Nichols is concerned, Riley will be joining his pack whether she likes it or not. Her only choice will be whether to submit to his authority with or without needing to be stripped bare and spanked over his knee until she is kicking and crying and promising obedience. When she chooses the latter, the Navy SEAL turned cowboy is more than happy to oblige.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But Cameron knows instantly that Riley isn't just a feisty female in need of an alpha's firm hand. She is his mate, and she knows it too, despite her best efforts to deny it. No matter how many times she tries to run, he will always chase her down, punish her thoroughly, and then mount and claim her so roughly that all she can do is scream her helpless, shamefully intense pleasure into the pillow as her body betrays her and surrenders ever more completely to his demands.</div>

On a twisted path of love, loss and murder, Rainey leads Justin through the events of her life.
Death follows Rainey...
Justin fights to discover her secrets...

Mind blowing. Heart crushing. Soul searing. Take every amazing, wonderful, out of this world descriptive and apply it to </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;"><i>The Five</i> </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">, and even then you won't come close to conveying just how good this book is.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /></span><br />
<blockquote>
Five years, five neighbours, five older men, five victims, five times</blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;"><i></i></b><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">Whilst you can sort of guess some of the twists, and unlike so many other authors whose work falls by the wayside, Lily very cleverly weaves her tale so that there aren't the usual plot holes. So many twists in other books don't stand up to closer scrutiny, I don't believe that can be said of </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;"><i>The Five</i> </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">. In fact I even stupidly doubted her at one point. I was naive enough to think </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">'well if I'm correct, I'm not sure how she's going to explain.... or how she will convince me that....'</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br /><br /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">HA! FOOL! Of course the magnificence that is Lily White will pull the twists off. Not only that but she will pound you into the finest dust, to be blown away on the wind, whilst she does it. My heart bled for Rainey and, despite all the fucked-up (pun intended) stuff she had done, even at the end I totally and utterly adored her. When she lost Rowan, a little piece of my heart crumbled too.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br /><br /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">This magnificent story is told in first person, with 'present day' chapters from Justin's point of view and most of Rainey's being her retelling the previous five years. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /></span><br />

Despite not being able to love herself, Rainey was so very much loved, into death and beyond, by one wonderful, if broken, man. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">Do yourself a favour and read this.

He’d grown so large, twice my size at least, and it had never occurred to me how strong he was until now. Nobody would pick on him anymore. Not without getting their asses handed to them in a fight.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Can I touch you, Rainey?” His eyes lifted to mine. “Is that all right? For me to touch you?”</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Always,” I whispered, unable to put any strength in my voice. “You can always touch me.”</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He stepped forward and I stepped back out of instinct. He would never hurt me. Not Rowan. But what I saw in him now was the predator that had always lingered just beneath the surface. He wasn’t a monster like his family or David. Not him. He was something else entirely.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pain shot through his eyes when I moved, his hands fisting at his sides. “Do I scare you now?”</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Shaking my head, I forced my mouth to move. “No. It’s just -“</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Just what?”</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“You’re different, Rowan. A man, I guess. You’ve grown.”</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Blue eyes held mine, the darkness in them seeping away, but not entirely. His lips pulled into a tight smile. “You need a man. I’ve become exactly what you need. For you, Rainey. Not anybody else. Just for you.”</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I drew in a rattling breath. “Touch me.”</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Rowan moved forward and I held my ground, craning my neck to look up at him. He was shaking, his skin so cold that I knew I had to fix him somehow. “Rowan?”</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Yeah?”</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Will you kiss me?”</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Why (you probably <i>aren't</i> asking)? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because wordpress will automatically publish a link to both my Facebook and Twitter book review/promo accounts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will keep going with this blog for a while, either until I lose patience doing two or once I feel my wordpress one is well established.</div>

<b><i>Birching His Bride - 5 stars</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">This is both a hot read but also has a pretty decent story line too</b><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">The books title and the series title warn you what to expect, so if domestic discipline (man spanking woman for bad behaviour) will rile you then don't read this. However if you love a well written historical romance, with some DD and a few kinky scenes then jump right in.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">I felt like I devoured this book and totally adored both Edwin and Eleanor. I felt on edge at first, courtesy of the fab writing that pulled me into the story and made me feel Eleanor's anxiety and worries of not being enough for Edwin. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">The modern woman in me wanted to rail at the injustice of her basically having no say in her own life, but that was how it was. Once I let go of my modern day expectations I found I really relaxed into the read and was quite shocked when I got to the epilogue. I needed so much more, especially since we were barely at a HFN point! Thankfully the whole quartet of books is now available, so I don't have to wait to continue Edwin and Eleanor's story, whist also starting to learn more about her brother Hugh and his new bride Irene!</span></div>

<span id="freeTextreview2745419769" style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;"><b>A wonderful read</b><br /><br />This is a continuation of Edwin and Eleanor's story (from <b>Birching His Bride</b>) though it also follows her brother Hugh, and his bride Irene. The book is written third person, so it's very easy to follow which POV you are reading. The writing is engaging and I really felt the emotions, particularly Eleanor's and Irene's. I flew through the story and my only disappointment is that it ended.<br /><br />I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will be diving straight into the next one, where I'm hoping Edwin finally realises <b><i>just</i> </b>what it is that Eleanor wants from him! I am absolutely smitten with this couple, and love reading about their battle of wills. Irene and Hugh are also a magnificent couple, their characters were very distinct from Edwin and Eleanor as is their relationship dynamic. That said the girls both end up with very sore, red bottoms ;)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">This is the third book of the quartet and really needs to be read after book #1 </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;"><i>(Birching His Bride)</i> </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">and book #2 </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;"><b>(Dealing With Discipline)</b> </i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">. This is the continuation of both Eleanor & Edwin's story, as well as Hugh & Irene's. In addition we have the tale of Wesley & Cynthia.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">All three couples are delightful, and the women in particular have very distinct and rounded personalities. Due to the inclusion of scenes between the other couples, Wesley and Cynthia's story did feel somewhat rushed. Their part was very reminiscent of reading a novella, which in effect it was if you removed the none-C&W parts. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">However that didn't stop me from being engaged by, and enjoying the book. I adore Eleanor and it's fun seeing all the coupes and how they interact. There are some wonderfully 'naughty' scenes and plenty of spanked bottoms! Cynthia has a real wild child, I loved her 'don't care' attitude and progressive outlook. I'd love to see more of her getting up to mischief and leading Wesley on a wild chase!</span><br />

<b style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">A thrillingly hot conclusion to this wonderful quartet of books and couples!</b><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">I totally adored this last book, I swooned at how Eleanor finally got her answer, I enjoyed catching up with them all and I LOVED the achingly beautiful reunion of Grace and Alex. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">The books are unusual in that each one has added more and more point of views, yet never once did I struggle to follow the plot or to know which character I was 'hearing'. Excellent writing, plenty of red hot spanking </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">(and beyond)</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;"> scenes, wonderful characters and an amazing plot made reading this book - and indeed the whole quartet - an absolute delight.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">If you love spanking/Domestic Discipline stories, historical romances or just a darn good sexy read then I highly recommend this series. It's well worth investing your time, money and heart in.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">Wesley and Cynthia continue to be outrageously risque and love pushing not only each others boundaries, but those of polite society too. Irene continues to grow and blossom under Hugh's loving disciplinarian care, with her years of ingrained conditioning to break through. Edwin and Eleanor continue to lead the way with their uncaring total adoration of the other. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">Grace and Alex, oh my Grace and Alex, this pair will put you through the emotional wringer. Both have their faults and make mistakes, but through out I still cared massively about both of them. They needed their heartbreaking journey in order to build the solid foundation they had never truly possessed before. It made all the sadness, hurt and anger so much more worthwhile.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">I'm not always a fan of epilogues, so many times they feel forced and unnecessary, but this one was perfect. It tied the story together with a beautiful bow. Bravo Ms Angel on a wonderful series of books!</span></div>

<b style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">I really enjoyed this pacy, dark-swirled romantic suspense</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">This is a series where each successive book has been even better than the last. I really do recommend reading </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;"><b>A Father's Insistence</b> </i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">if you enjoy a good romantic suspense that dips its toes (and feet) into the dark. However, whilst it is a complete story in it's own right, I do recommend that you read the other two books in the </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;"><b>Dark Sovereignty</b> </i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">series in order to fully understand the suspense element.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">So I picked this up yesterday evening, intending to only read a chapter or two before going to bed. Yeah, big mistake. For me this was TOTALLY one of those books where you 'just need to read the next few pages' before you can put it down. I didn't even dare look at what time I closed the book, but it wasn't until I'd reached the very end of the epilogue - oops. I can totally go to work on a few hours sleep.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">I found it easy to connect to Theo and Joanna, they felt believable and were both incredibly likeable. The author did a very good job of writing the deception element of the story. Why wouldn't someone believe their father's version of events, when there has never been anything to raise your suspicion? I did feel he accepted the drugging event</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;"> too easily, but that was only a very minor part of the story. Particularly as subsequent events would have distracted him from pursuing it further.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">Joanna felt broken without feeling weak, her responses to events were believable and well explained. Whilst I struggled to totally believe Theo was utterly in love with her after such a short time together, Stockholm Syndrome and her view of him as a rescuing hero made it easy to believe Joanna's feelings. What is undeniable is the strong chemistry between the pair, they certainly heat up your kindle!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">Personally I thought the epilogue 'felt' different to the rest of the book. I loved knowing what had happened to people etc. though I would have been just as happy with a very simple event showing how the 'Society' had changed. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">This trilogy was my introduction to the author, but it's definitely not going to be the last book I read by her. Her writing, character development, exciting plots and ability to weave a twisty tale leave me needing more of it.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
One of five women who endured horrific trials to win the hand of Nicholas Cavendish, Lady Joanna Nethercutt suffered greatly throughout the ordeal, ultimately losing to Victoria Hamilton. She swiftly finds herself sold by her own father, who’s determined she’ll be of use to him yet. For a year, she’s “trained” in preparation for marriage to Victoria’s brother, with whom she’ll be expected to produce heirs that will one day strengthen and continue the very society responsible for all of Joanna’s torment. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
In the space of a breath, Theodore Hamilton is thrust into a secret society he knew nothing about, and married to a woman who seems terrified of his very existence. Suddenly, his carefree yet honorable life is filled with secrets and shadows, allies and enemies, leaving Theodore unsure who to trust…starting with his broken bride. His lure to the delicate beauty is tempered by external influence, lies and manipulation from all sides.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
In this breathless conclusion to the Dark Sovereignty series, Theodore must decide where his loyalties lie, and race to destroy the evil men responsible for the immeasurable suffering of everyone he holds dear—including the wife he never wanted, but can’t possibly live without.</div>

<b><i>I'm obviously as messed up as Lianne to also fall for David</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have had <b><i>Destruction</i></b> sitting on my kindle, waiting to be read for quite some time. Life, arc reading and buying too many books has meant that I just hadn't gotten around to reading it. However I do know the author is working on completing the second book, so I decided it was time I got myself caught up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The title is very fitting in so many ways, including the devastation to my soul. This is a pretty dark read, with non-con (albeit it's enjoyed, but she definitely says no), sadism, violence and what is possibly a healthy dollop of Stockholm Syndrome.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
David is an antihero of the first order, doing bad things for misguided reasons. He and Lianne share some very warped but extremely hot chemistry. There are passages that make for uncomfortable reading - because you really shouldn't be turned on by such depravity but you are. Lianne is very easy to like and connect to, their is a very natural and likeable feel to her character. I disliked David for so much of the book, but that's because he is written to <i>BE</i> hated, until you don't.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The writing held my attention, the characters interested me, whilst the plot and suspense was well paced so as to hold my attention. I was huddled in the corner of that dank, concrete cell. I was chained across that thin, worn mattress. The skill of the author put me into the middle of the story, had me screaming in the dark and crying in misery alongside Lianne.</div>

So don't let the fact that I spent half the book wanting to throat punch Landon put you off this fantastic read. The writing, plot, heroine (Storm), the rest of the Hawke clan and the steaming hot sexy times kept me gripped.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm going to get my Landon issues out of the way, so that I can concentrate on the better stuff. He was just a bit too full on, at times, for me. The first time he met Storm, he didn't know her story, so fair dues. However when he did discover she was a recent widow with a very young child, I just felt that his 'sex will cure everything' mantra, and his forceful pursuit was just a bit too much. Bear in mind, <i>THAT WAS JUST ME</i> - it's a very personal and subjective observation, but he irritated me enough that I needed to rant a little.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
What was less subjective was his insistence on knowing everything about Storm, whilst keeping a humdinger of a secret. So I'd be up in arms about his as-good-as-lying holding back, and then he'd admit he was out of line. Then he'd push again whilst deliberately not being honest, before admitting his hypocrisy. However this was fully acknowledged by the author, so I'm not taking any stars away and actually sneakily admire her for it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

Storm I absolutely loved, yes she blew hot and cold but this was TOTALLY understandable. She was a confused, grieving, depressed, hot mess. I felt her pain, I felt her conflict and I definitely felt her lust too :) I also loved how the plot raised the issue of judging those who move on from loss 'too quickly' - especially as it brought me up short!</div>

It was fantastic to catch up with the rest of the Hawkes and their SO's. The banter, the subtle digs, the outright meddling made me laugh on more than one occasion. You can feel their love and respect for one another. The suspense was excellent, even when I semi-guessed some aspects, I didn't have the faintest about others. And boy did Ms McNamee wring every drop of pain that she could from the situation. Bravo!</div>

The heat levels in this are very high and the language is 'industrial', but they both fit the plot and characters extremely well. It never felt gratuitous, cheap or sleazy - just gritty and hot in all the right way! Roll on Saint's story.</div>

My life went up in flames. All I’m left with is my daughter and ashes. The simple act of breathing is so excruciating, there are days I wish I could stop altogether. So I have no business being at the party, and I definitely shouldn’t be in the arms of the handsome stranger. When his lips meet mine, he breathes life into me for the first time since the day the inferno disintegrated my world. But loving again isn’t in the cards, and there are even greater dangers to face than trying to keep Landon McCabe out of my heart.</div>

Running is my only option. I have to get away from Chicago and the betrayal that shattered my world. I need a new life-one without attachments. The vibrancy of New Orleans convinces me it’s possible to start over. Yet in all the excitement of a new city, it’s Storm Hawke’s dark, sad beauty that draws me in. She isn’t looking for love, and we both need a hot, sweaty release without feelings getting involved. But even the best laid plans fail, and life can leave you burned.</div>

***Building Storm is the fourth and final full-length novel in The Hawke Family Series. While it is a complete story, it is NOT meant to be read as a standalone. The story of the Hawke siblings starts in Savage Collision and continues in book two, Tortured Skye, and book three, Stone Sober before reaching the plot in Building Storm. These stories all build on one another and are intertwined. They need to be read in order to fully enjoy and understand the plots and characters. ***</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Neglected by her mother, abused by her stepfather, and trapped in an oppressive cult, Willow Sands has lived the past three years with the shadow of her fifteenth birthday hanging over her. That was the day her mother handed her over to David, the son of their leader, promising her a future even more bleak than she’d ever imagined. Now, with her eighteenth birthday and the day of her wedding fast approaching, she’s almost come to accept her fate.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Hope was the last thing Willow expected to feel this close to her wedding, but that’s exactly what she finds in Jared. The more time she spends with him, the more haunted she becomes by the freedom she let slip through her fingers all those years ago. She knows if she wants a real future she’ll have to break free of the crushing grip the cult has on her, and the more she gets to know Jared, the more determined she becomes to gain her freedom once and for all.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

⭐⭐⭐⭐</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>"A steamy and well written romantic suspense"</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whilst this is the second book in the Florida Veterans series, it is very much a stand alone read. <b><i>Saving Stacey</i></b> is one heck of a spicy romantic suspense, with a kooky heroine and a surly hero. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having read a few books by this author I knew that this would be a very character driven story, and that those characters would be complex and flawed. I wasn't disappointed, there was nothing trite, boring or predictable about either Stacey or Hudson. I liked that there were several plot strands threading through the book, it gave extra depth and personality to the plot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were times I wanted to shake one or the other of this pair, but that just shows how invested I was in them. Their chemistry is as hot as the Florida sun that shines down in this book. There is a good balance so that the steam compliments and enhances the story, rather than swamping it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will say that we usually get a little more depth from supporting characters with this author. In Saving Stacey they felt a little underdeveloped, but the plot didn't allow for much interaction with these side characters. For a large part of the book, the plot very much revolved around just Stacey and Hudson.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Due to sexual content I would rate this as an 18+ read, other than that I would happily recommend it to family, friends and lovers of romantic suspense, as well as contemporary romance.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; text-align: start;">On the run from her abusive ex, Stacey Allen spends her days refilling coffee and wiping down tables, instead of using her finance degree crunching numbers. A low profile life is the only way to survive as she struggles to divorce her cheating husband. Having nowhere else to turn when trouble tracks her down, she accepts help from a mysterious stranger. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; text-align: start;">Former Navy SEAL Hudson McCormick spends his days as co-owner of Sunset Security and his nights bailing his drug addict ex-wife out of bad situations, including one that leads him to a damsel-in-distress. He can’t help but be drawn to a woman in need, even if he doesn’t want to be. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; text-align: start;">The longer she stays hidden away in the sleepy vacation town from her childhood, the more she realizes how much she loves the simple life and the more her feelings for Hudson grow. Just when Stacey starts to feel safe, his past collides with hers, putting them both in danger. Hudson will do whatever it takes to save Stacey - even if it means risking his heart.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Twenty-two year old, Rainey Day, is the sole survivor of a grisly murder.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hired to question Rainey regarding the attack, psychologist, Justin Redding, interviews her over the course of several days. What he learns tests every professional boundary he has.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
A twisted story of sex, drugs, manipulation and murder, Rainey leads Justin down a path of promiscuity, heartache and a life unlike anything he’s known. While Rainey describes the grueling details of the events leading to her friends’ murders, she seduces him into her world, testing his patience and willpower.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Death clings to Rainey.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It’s a puzzle Justin is determined to solve.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But will Justin be able to resist Rainey’s charms while figuring out the secret of The Five?<br />

<div style="border: 9px groove #fdf486; height: 400px; overflow: auto; width: 98%;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“It a long story. I don’t even know where to start.”</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A bead of sweat slid down her neck from her hairline to pool in the hollow of her throat. It drew the eye lower, my gaze wandering to places that were unprofessional. Flicking my eyes up, I caught her stare, she knew. Her eyes softened, her lips pulling apart on a ghost of a smile. I cleared my throat embarrassed for having been caught. </span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This woman would be a handful for any man. Perhaps I’d been wrong to immediately assume she was a victim. I wondered if the detectives had the same problem, if they’d called me in because they couldn’t keep their attention from wandering to forbidden places. She blew out a puff of smoke, a small ring floating up to the ceiling above her.</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“The beginning is a good place,” I prodded, my voice gritty. “How did you end up at the party? How long did you know your friends?”</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She was shutting down more, her body curling over itself. Abandoning the cigarette into the cup, Rainey refused to meet my eyes. “I’m not sure they were my friends.” </span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Rather than filling in the empty space, I stayed quiet, allowed her to process her thoughts. A cryptic smile curled her lips when she glanced up at me again. “The beginning was the day I moved into the neighborhood with my mom. It all started then, I think.”</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Where’s your mom now?”</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Dead,” she answered without a flicker of remorse.</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“You have a lot of dead people around you, Rainey.”</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“We all die, just some of us sooner than others.”</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The statement was odd and I wanted to explore it. It would have to wait. For now, I was willing to take whatever she would give me. Movement caught my eye; she was touching the mark beneath her elbow again. </span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Her fingers moved over it and I had a clear view of five tally marks as if she were counting something. </span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Why five? What was so important she would carve the count into her skin? “Then let’s start there.”</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another smile. “I should warn you, Doc, I’m a bit of a slut. This story-“ Her eyes closed, opened. “This story doesn’t paint me in a pretty light. Not like all of the good girls I assume you’re used to dating.”</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Despite the condemnation, she wasn’t upset to make the confession. It was a simple statement as a prelude to her tale.</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“I’m not here to judge you, Rainey. Just tell me what happened.”</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lighting another cigarette, she drew in a deep drag, blew it out, her gaze distant as she began to talk.</span></div>

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;">When I was offered the opportunity to review <b><i>The Omega Prize</i> </b>, I have to admit I felt some trepidation. I've found a lot of review requests books I've been offered have needed a LOT of work to make them readable, so I was extremely pleased with how very readable this one was. </span><div>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;">I personally had a couple of minor niggling issues with the first few chapters, but once the story got underway I was totally engaged and immersed into it. There were some incorrect tenses, the result of the author changing from 1st to 3rd person. She plans on correcting this as soon as possible, so don't let it put you off. It is very much worth pushing through those very early parts because what follows is a really good read. </span><div>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;">I genuinely liked both main characters, they were nicely fleshed out, likeable and best of all believable. Zander was pretty decent for an alpha in an omegaverse story. He wasn't a pushover or weak but he definitely valued his omega, even as he dominated her. Brie was an omega in hiding, and whilst she had no choice in being mated to an alpha, she didn't feel weak when she chose to make the best of it.</span><div>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;">The chemistry between the main characters is intense, and the sex scenes were incredibly hot, without being overlong or tawdry. It's fairly slow burn, but didn't feel it. I guess there was so much other action happening it didn't leave time for dwelling on when they'd get to the down and dirty part!</span><div>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;">Talking of action, the plot was well thought through and the pace was excellent. After the first couple of chapters the writing style really flowed well and I found myself totally caught up in the story. I'm so pleased to know Karn is the hero of the next book, I'm very much looking forward to reading his story.</span></div>

REVIEW - 5 STARS</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">Holy heck, Measha, you really pulled out some super dark nastiness for this book</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">Wowsers, this is one dark story that held my attention from start to finish. There are possible triggers in this, lots of triggers, but if you're ok with non-consent then I really do recommend this novella.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">Magdalena is such a 'normal' girl you couldn't help but connect with her. She might have been a little bit naive, but only in the same way the vast majority of us would be when it comes to organised crime and sex slavery. I absolutely adored her. Kristoff is a really good antihero, he isn't a good man at all. Thankfully he grows to like our heroine as much as I did, and Kristoff is nothing if not possessive of what he sees as his. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">I read this in one go, once I'd met this pair I really couldn't put the book down. Even when I had to read it through my fingers there was still something special about the writing that just held me spellbound. The story flows well, with a really easy to read writing style and where both plot and pace were really good. It was perhaps a bit too insta-love for my taste BUT in a book of this length there is always something that has to give.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">I always worry when an author I like ventures into the dark zone. I'm really picky over what I consider a dark read and dread it in case they don't hit the mark. Thankfully </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">Kristoff </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">completely and utterly hits the target, perhaps almost too well at times! I loved it and really hope Ms Stone writes more books of this ilk.</span></div>

<b>From USA Today Bestselling Author, Measha Stone, comes a new Dark Romance that is part of BLAIRE’S WORLD. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
Stolen and locked away. <br />
<br />
My name is Magdalena. I’ve been chasing after a story more dangerous than I realized. And now, they’ve taken me. The Dowidoff family has been the focus of my attention, and now I’m theirs. They’ll keep me locked away until I’m trained, and then they plan to sell me. <br />
Highest bidder wins me; the nosey American girl, and Kristoff has been put in charge of my education. <br />
I can’t give up hope, even when Kristoff promises there is none. Not for me at least. He’s going to break me. He’s going to teach me. And at the end of it, I will be claimed</div>

Six hits. A hundred secrets. Syndicate leaders blackmailed. Wives and children set up to take the fall. A spy among the most dangerous of men. Sometimes seductress. Sometimes assassin. I'm the girl at the party everyone looks at, but no one remembers. I was trained to be ruthless, stripped of emotion and empathy, and yet something inside me, something logic and reason will never touch, yearns to be more than the beautiful facade crafted by my master. I want some part of the fantasy to be real. A touch. A kiss. A glance just for me. But none of it’s ever for me because there is no me. I am olvidado. Forgotten.

<b style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">A fast paced, dark and twisty read</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">I came to this story via Blaire's World and this is a new-to-me author. I enjoyed her writing style and soon found myself caught up in 'Sera' and Galeno's story. This isn't a pitch black read, since the darkness isn't in the relationship but rather events that occur. However there are still some very intense moments and violent acts that we don't always witness first hand. It's length puts it right on the novella/novel border, and whilst I personally would have liked a little more depth in a few scenes it was still a very well executed story.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">This is one of those books where information is slowly released as the plot progresses. Whilst this left me a little puzzled at first as to what was happening I did like it. Particularly as 'Sera' is similarly confused at the out of control circumstances surrounding her, so it really allowed me to empathise with her position. I really loved the character of Sera, life has dealt her a fairly crappy hand, so it was good to see Galeno changing that. I didn't feel as though I knew him quite as well, but he was still a rounded character and easy to believe in.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">You don't need to have read any of the other Blaire books, this truly does read as a stand alone. I'm happy to recommend it to those that like and edge of darkness in their books and I will definitely look out for more work by this author.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
He used me, abused me, and left me shattered. <b>My screams went unheard</b>, my tears went unseen, and <b>my pleas went unanswered</b>.
When the chance to escape presented itself, I fled. All I wanted was my freedom. All I wanted was to see the light once again. But when your name means <i>Light</i>, it makes the monsters want to keep you in the <i>Dark</i>.</span>

<b style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">This definitely ticked the dark box in a big way</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">This had kidnapping, torture, violence, non-con..... it was stunningly black. The story is really easy to read and the characters are very defined and consistent. I'll be honest, I'm not sure if I even cared for Luka, the antihero, by the end. That isn't a negative though, just a reflection of how much of a bad guy he was and how he really did very little to redeem himself - though what he did do was fairly major, lol.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">Evelina felt genuine and again was pretty consistent as a character. Her self revulsion and other issues made her a very realistic heroine. I liked that we didn't get silly declarations of love, the situation and time span wouldn't have worked for that. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">I had two issues that prevented me rating this higher, though they are more personal preferences, which is why I would still highly recommend this to those who love a good dark read. My first was that the jam packed plot in a novella length book meant there was less time spent on forging an emotional connection between the reader and the characters. I liked the story but it didn't 'speak' to me on that deeper level. The second thing was that the plot travelled just a little too far from the shores of believably on a couple of occasions.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">The story is jam packed with action, it doesn't shy from darkness and has one total a$$hole of a hero. I know that will appeal to soooo many of you and this really is worth a try if it sound up your street.</span><br /></div>

My name is…well, to tell you the truth I’m not so sure anymore. To my master I’m known only as ‘beauty’, a word that inspires magnificence, however in my mind it only imparts feelings of horror and helplessness. Stolen at just fifteen-years-old, I’ve been held hostage for three years now, my body no longer my own, my mind twisted into something I no longer recognize. Then came Hart, dangerously handsome, and frighteningly male. Instead of fearing this curious man like I should, I do something I never thought I’d do again, I trust him. And when he whispers my name, “Beauty”, it’s with such soul shattering tenderness it brings new meaning to the word. I more than trust him…I’m infatuated with him. We are the same, you see, our monsters match and our thirst for revenge is as sweet as it is deadly. </span></div>

It so nicely spoke to that black space in my the depths of my soul.</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">This is the introduction to Beauty and Hart's story, which will be continued later in the year, and what a fantastic introduction it was. Why have I never heard how fantastic an author of dark depravity, Kirsty Dallas is. Now I need to go and track down every twisted, evil and corrupted book she has written and buy them immediately. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;"><i>Beauty: Part One</i> </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">sets the scene for what promises to be an even more amazing tale. It can be read as a stand alone, you don't need to read any of the other Blaire's World books (though the ones I've read so far are also really good). It ends on a very soft cliff-hanger, so whilst I'm very keen to read the next book, I'm also comfortable waiting for it.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">All you lovers of the dark will absolutely adore the heroine in this. The once young, sweet and innocent girl that she was has morphed into Beauty, a strong woman with an inner monster. Hart is her perfect match and I am really excited to read the next book and see where their journey takes them. I also can't wait to learn more about Hart, though I really like what I've seen of him so far. There isn't a lot of steam or romance in this book, though what there is fits perfectly with the story and feels very organic within the plot. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">I'm really happy I took a chance on reading the books of the Blaire's World series, just for finding this story and author alone.</span></a></div>

I’ve stood by idly and watched endless acts of depravity.
I’ve created hell on Earth in exchange for fortune.
I’ve maimed, tortured, taken, and I’ve killed.
My mind is dark, my inclinations perverse, and my soul is black.
There’s no salvation for me—until Amaya enters my life; a raven-haired beauty with blue eyes that sparkle like sapphires. She’s the epitome of what my life isn’t.
I’m not worthy of her, and she certainly deserves better than me, but that’s never stopped me before.
When I want something, I take it, and right now, I want her—and I won’t let anything or anyone prevent me from making her mine.</span>

Wow this is a non-stop action-packed story from the very first lines. It really is dark with some very difficult subject matter, definitely not for the faint of heart. It's heroine is basically pimped out by her father and becomes the sex-slave of a very depraved and unpleasant man, Pakhan of the russian mafia.<br /><br />Despite it's novella length, I did feel a connection to the characters. They had depth and not only did I care about them but I felt their emotion too. The romance part felt perhaps a tad underdeveloped, whilst it was both believable in terms of time frame, chemistry and time spent together, it felt rushed. This was entirely down to the length of the story though. It was impossible to get as much action, darkness and romance as I'd want from this story in a novella.<br /><br />This is an excellent addition to the Blaire's World series, it is well written, engaging, easy to read, has good characters and DARK!<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

I thought our love would be enough to get us through forever. From the moment we met, our passion, our love, was explosive and consuming. My Andres is my rock, my love, my everything.
But sometimes love isn’t enough. Some things are more important. Now I’m doing the one thing I never thought possible. I’m running from the cartel, from my home and from my husband. I’m running for my life. </span><br />

Luna has been my light in the darkness from the moment I set eyes on her. She is my rock, my comfort, my only love. Her betrayal burns deep.
She can’t be allowed to live. The cartel, my family, they won’t sanction it. I will hunt my wife and I will put her down. Though it will kill the last decent thing left in me…</span>

<b style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">Whilst a part of me feels like this wasn't that much of a HEA, I loved that the author DIDN'T go for the cliched ending so typical of the genre.</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">I think this will be a marmite story - you will either love it or hate it. The writing and story line were excellent, I adored Luna and totally believed in the love between her and Andres. Andres I both liked and loathed, whilst part of me wanted him to be the rescuing hero of the piece, I think what we got was actually more realistic. I struggled with the fact that </span><a class="jsShowSpoiler spoilerAction" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" style="background-color: white; color: #00635d; cursor: pointer; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left; text-decoration-line: underline;">(view spoiler)</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">, whilst appreciating that if the story wanted to be realistic then there was no other option.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">We were told things about both MC's that we didn't witness. Several times it was mentioned that Luna was selfish, had 'caused issues' with the cartel and was impulsive, though we got no details or background to prove the point. I never got that impression of her either, I'm not sure if it was an attempt to balance the book or not but I don't think it needed it. She was pretty much forced into marrying Andres and taking on the rules of his world when she was just 19. I'd say she was a typical new adult finding herself than a thoughtless or selfish individual .... not when you saw her love for her children.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">For a lot of the book Andres felt like a villain though, again, his actions were governed both by his upbringing and the 'laws' of the cartel. Clearly he was Los Zetas for life, to the point of appearing almost brutally uncaring at times. Excellent writing totally persuade me of the depth of his love for Luna, I really never doubted it, even though that love wasn't always enough.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">It's really hard to avoid spoilers whilst reviewing this. I do recommend it, there was nothing I would criticise in terms of writing, emotion, plot (other than the 'slurs' about Luna) or pace. It's not a conventional story, from the opening scene with the hero shooting up heroine, to how it ends. However in a genre where too many books are too similar I both admire and appreciate a story that definitely charts its own course.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My name is Magdalena. I’ve been chasing after a story more dangerous than I realized. And now, they’ve taken me. The Dowidoff family has been the focus of my attention, and now I’m theirs. They’ll keep me locked away until I’m trained, and then they plan to sell me.
Highest bidder wins me; the nosey American girl, and Kristoff has been put in charge of my education.
I can’t give up hope, even when Kristoff promises there is none. Not for me at least. He’s going to break me. He’s going to teach me. And at the end of it, I will be claimed.</span>

<b style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">Holy heck, Measha, you really pulled out some super dark nastiness for this book</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">Wowsers, this is one dark story that held my attention from start to finish. There are possible triggers in this, lots of triggers, but if you're ok with non-consent then I really do recommend this novella.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">Magdalena is such a 'normal' girl you couldn't help but connect with her. She might have been a little bit naive, but only in the same way the vast majority of us would be when it comes to organised crime and sex slavery. I absolutely adored her. Kristoff is a really good antihero, he isn't a good man at all. Thankfully he grows to like our heroine as much as I did, and Kristoff is nothing if not possessive of what he sees as his. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">I read this in one go, once I'd met this pair I really couldn't put the book down. Even when I had to read it through my fingers there was still something special about the writing that just held me spellbound. The story flows well, with a really easy to read writing style and where both plot and pace were really good. It was perhaps a bit too insta-love for my taste BUT in a book of this length there is always something that has to give.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">I always worry when an author I like ventures into the dark zone. I'm really picky over what I consider a dark read and dread it in case they don't hit the mark. Thankfully </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">Kristoff </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">completely and utterly hits the target, perhaps almost too well at times! I loved it and really hope Ms Stone writes more books of this ilk.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">All I am a British author, from the depths of the rural countryside near London. In a previous life, I was an accountant from the age of twenty-one. I still do that on occasions, but most of my life is now spent intermingling writing while looking after my husband, two children and two cats (probably in the inverse order to the one listed!). When I have some spare time, I can also be found writing poetry, baking cakes (and eating them), or behind a camera snapping like a mad paparazzi.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
I'm an avid reader who turned to writing to combat my depression and anxiety. I have a love of travelling and like to bring this to my stories to give them the air of reality.
I like my heroes hot and hunky with a dirty mouth, my heroines demure but with spunk, and my books full of dramatic suspense.</span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Nikita lives on the beautiful Canadian prairies with her twelve-year-old son and two crazy awesome dogs. She has an unholy affinity for books (especially erotic romance), wine, pets and anything chocolate. Despite some of the darker themes in her books (which are pure fun and fantasy), Nikita is a staunch feminist and advocate of equal rights for all races, genders and non-gender specific persons. When she isn’t writing, dreaming about writing or talking about writing, she helps others discover a love of reading and writing through literacy and social work.</span></div>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">About Eva</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">A confirmed city-girl, Eva moved to rural Western Massachusetts in 2014. She found herself living in the woods with no job, no friends (unless you count the turkey, deer, and coyote roaming the backyard), and no children underfoot, wondering what on earth she had been thinking. But as it turned out, it was the perfect setting to take all those yarns spinning in her head and weave them into steamy love stories.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">A romantic at heart, Eva looks forward to date night all week. The perfect evening includes well-crafted cocktails, a fabulous perfume, Cherry Garcia ice cream, and her husband, of course. If you add good friends, live jazz, and impossible shoes, she will follow you anywhere.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Eva holds a BA from Boston College, and a JD from the Washington College of Law. She spent a career working in domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, and civil rights. Aspects of this work often find their way into her books.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When she's not writing sexy stories, trying to squeeze information out of her tight-lipped sons, or playing with the two cutest dogs you've ever seen, Eva's creating chapters in her own love story.</span>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">That
Which Grows Wild collects sixteen dark and masterful short stories by
award-winning author Eric J. Guignard. Equal parts whimsy and weird,
horror and heartbreak, this debut collection traverses the darker
side of the fantastic through vibrant and harrowing tales that depict
monsters and regrets, hope and atonement, and the oddly changing
reflection that turns back at you in the mirror.</span></div>

cats, and a terrarium filled with mischievous beetles.</span>

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of five women who endured horrific trials to win the hand of Nicholas Cavendish, Lady Joanna Nethercutt suffered greatly throughout the ordeal, ultimately losing to Victoria Hamilton. She swiftly finds herself sold by her own father, who’s determined she’ll be of use to him yet. For a year, she’s “trained” in preparation for marriage to Victoria’s brother, with whom she’ll be expected to produce heirs that will one day strengthen and continue the very society responsible for all of Joanna’s torment. </span></div>

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the space of a breath, Theodore Hamilton is thrust into a secret society he knew nothing about, and married to a woman who seems terrified of his very existence. Suddenly, his carefree yet honorable life is filled with secrets and shadows, allies and enemies, leaving Theodore unsure who to trust…starting with his broken bride. His lure to the delicate beauty is tempered by external influence, lies and manipulation from all sides.</span></div>

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In this breathless conclusion to the Dark Sovereignty series, Theodore must decide where his loyalties lie, and race to destroy the evil men responsible for the immeasurable suffering of everyone he holds dear—including the wife he never wanted, but can’t possibly live without.</span></div>

<span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Anna hails from the rural countryside near London. She previously worked as an accountant, and while she still does a bit of accountancy on occasion, the majority of her time is now spent writing and looking after her family.</span></div>

<span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">An avid reader herself, Anna turned to writing to combat depression and anxiety after her diagnosis in 2015. She loves travel, hunky heroes with dirty mouths, demure but spunky heroines, and dramatic suspense. You will find all four woven into each of her magical stories.</span></div>

<u style="font-weight: bold;">MY REVIEW</u> - 4 STARS</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">A well written and exciting first part to this duet, I'm looking forward to reading the rest.</b><br />
<br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">Hmm, this is one of those difficult to rate and review books. Overall I liked it, after all it held my attention all the way through to the cliff-hanger ending. In fact several times I found myself reading and page flipping as fast as I could. Overall I liked both main characters, and some behaviours that irked me were necessary for the plot, so I could accept them.</span><br />
<br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">However I had a couple of BIG 'NOPE' moments with the book though again, once I set my mind to letting go of them, I did enjoy what I read. </span><br />
<br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">#1 was the fact that they had been together for approx 2 years starting when she was 15 and he was 17. The story is set about 15 years later than this but both are still not over the other one. Sorry but that was just too ridiculous and unbelievable, as was the idea that they indulged in a very kinky/BDSM type relationship for those two TEENAGE years. </span><br />
<br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">#2 was the whole JD not being able to be honest with Gabrielle, or tell her the truth of why he was worried for her safety. It just didn't wash or make sense, other than the author deciding this was a key point to spin the story around.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">Julian/ JD said it all himself with </span><b><i>" Why can't I tell her? No reason."</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">Regarding the second point, JD did start revealing </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">some </i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">things to Gabrielle, which helped me get into the story more. I also liked that JD shared his doubts/concerns/suspicions with his brothers and his best friend, so at least </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">we as the reader</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;"> were not kept totally in the dark. Again this was something that not only helped engage me with the story as well as driving the plot along.</span><br />
<br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">At first I thought this was going to be all about JD manipulating Gabrielle, messing with her head and forcing her into an intolerable situation. I was expecting quite a dark and twisty read, but it isn't that at all. JD is a good man doing </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">some</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;"> bad things but with the best of intentions. </span><br />
<br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">However very quickly it morphed into them indulging in a hot and kinky sexual 'non-relationship' for a while, whilst twisting throughout was also a suspense element. Towards the end the sexual shenanigans were pushed aside to bring the suspense part more to the fore. This, for me, felt as though it impacted the pace on a couple of occasions. The majority of the time the pace was good though, for me, it did swing from too slow to too fast a handful of times. </span><br />
<br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">The writing style is easy to read, it flows smoothly and I didn't notice any glaring grammar or spelling errors. The dialogue felt very natural and all the characters we met seemed well rounded, I liked how many of them were woven into the plot even without necessarily appearing in that particular scene. </span><br />
<br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">I'm very much looking forward to reading the concluding half of this story and would recommend it to those who love a steamy romantic suspense.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">A confirmed city-girl, Eva moved to rural Western Massachusetts in 2014. She found herself living in the woods with no job, no friends (unless you count the turkey, deer, and coyote roaming the backyard), and no children underfoot, wondering what on earth she had been thinking. But as it turned out, it was the perfect setting to take all those yarns spinning in her head and weave them into steamy love stories.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">A romantic at heart, Eva looks forward to date night all week. The perfect evening includes well-crafted cocktails, a fabulous perfume, Cherry Garcia ice cream, and her husband, of course. If you add good friends, live jazz, and impossible shoes, she will follow you anywhere.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Eva holds a BA from Boston College, and a JD from the Washington College of Law. She spent a career working in domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, and civil rights. Aspects of this work often find their way into her books.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When she's not writing sexy stories, trying to squeeze information out of her tight-lipped sons, or playing with the two cutest dogs you've ever seen, Eva's creating chapters in her own love story.</span>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Love
can last a thousand lifetimes when you’re an Immortal... or so they
thought.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">
<span style="color: #333333;"></span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">What’s
become of the Immortal Darius? His wife, Stella, worries about his
fate as she rules over their city-state of Deminon, especially when
she learns he’s been the victim of treachery. She’ll do anything
to get him back.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">
</span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">
<span style="color: #333333;"></span></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">Enslaved
as a traitor to Rome, Darius is forced to fight gladiators as part of
the funeral rites of powerful Romans. His years of experience on the
battlefield serve him well in the arena—until he’s forced to
fight Marcus—a younger, stronger gladiator who is unaware of his
own immortality.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #333333;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Sure
he’s about to suffer a defeat by the hand of Marcus, Darius is
forced to make a decision that will change his future and
Stella’s—preserve his essence by allowing his body to die so that
he can live on in Marcus. His two-thousand years of memories and life
experiences should be powerful enough to overcome the essence of the
untested Immortal. Allow him to return to Stella and resume their
life together, even if she won’t immediately recognize him.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #333333;"><div style="text-align: center;">
But
Marcus isn’t giving up so easily. Especially when he meets
Stella.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #333333;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Will
Marcus help Darius take revenge on the one whose deceit led to his
arrest on charges of treason? Or will Darius’ essence slowly be
subsumed, the memories of his nearly two-thousand-year lifespan—and
of Stella—fading away in the mind of Marcus?</div>
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #333333;"><div style="text-align: center;">
These
Immortals once had all the time in the world. Now it’s suddenly of
the essence.</div>

<strong>About ENSNARED:</strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<strong>From <em>New York Times</em> and <em>USA Today</em> bestselling author Elisabeth Naughton comes a new story in her Eternal Guardians series…</strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
RYDER–Mysterious, powerful, every woman’s fantasy come true.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
For thousands of years, Ryder has reveled in his role as an immortal messenger—a dream weaver sent to seduce and manipulate. Until he’s ordered to deceive a fantasy of his own.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Zakara, the daughter of one of the mightiest Eternal Guardians, is his perfect woman. But she’s impervious to Ryder’s advances. Each attempt to sway her to his will pushes him deeper into a dreamscape she seems to be controlling. To survive, Ryder will need to find a way to master his sexy new prey. Because if he can’t, he risks forever condemning himself and the woman he’s grown to love to a never-ending nightmare drawn straight from the twisted depths of hell.</h3>

<b><u>My Review</u> - 5 stars</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A hot, fast paced and wonderful read</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a while since I real an<b><i> Eternal Guardians</i></b> novel, so I was very much looking forward to <b><i>Ensnared</i></b>. It really didn't disappoint either. Whilst this can be read as a stand alone story, reading the other <b><i>EG</i></b> novels will enhance your enjoyment of this. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The shortness of the book means a balance has to be made between world-building, plot development and characters. The book really focuses on Ryder (H) and Kara (h) so that we can get a good picture of them. I did feel a connection to the main characters, there was plenty of emotional depth and an exciting story line. However it did feel a little rushed at times, just because there was so much that needed fitting into this novella. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ryder and Kara are very easy to like characters and their chemistry was off the charts. The plot had some interesting twists and easily held my attention throughout. In fact I read this straight through in one evening.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and highly recommend it to lovers of fantasy/paranormal romance. It's left me wanting the author to write more full length novels in this series!</div>

<strong>ABOUT ELISABETH NAUGHTON:</strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Elisabeth Naughton</strong> is a <em>New York Times</em> and <em>USA Today</em> bestselling author. From Elisabeth: “I was never one of those people who knew they wanted to be an author at the age of six. I didn’t have imaginary friends. I didn’t write stories in my journal or entertain my relatives by firelight after Thanksgiving dinner. For the most part, I was just a normal, everyday kid. I liked to read, but I wasn’t exceptional at it. And when my teachers complimented me on my writing abilities, I brushed them off. I did, however, always have a penchant for the unique and absurd. And as my mother told me all throughout my childhood, I should have been an actress—I was a drama queen before my time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Years ago, my husband bought me Scarlett: The Sequel to Gone With The Wind. If you ever saw the book, you know it’s a long one. I sat and read that thing from cover to cover, and dreamed of one day being a writer. But I didn’t actually try my hand at writing until years later when I quit my teaching job to stay home with my kids. And my husband? After that week of reading where I neglected him and everything else until I finished Scarlett, he vowed never to buy me another book again. Little did he know I’d one day end up sitting at a keyboard all day drafting my own stories.
“My writing journey has not been easy. I didn’t just sit down one day, decide I was going to write a book and voila! sell my very first attempt. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As most authors will probably agree, the path to publication is filled with hours of work, pulling all-nighters I thought I’d given up in college, sacrifices, rejections, but a love I discovered along the way I just can’t live without. Instead of a big, thick book to read by lamplight (I do read much smaller ones when I get the chance), I’ve traded in my reading obsession for a laptop. And I’ve never been happier.
“I’m one of the lucky ones. I have a wonderful family and fabulous husband who put up with my writing—and obsessive personality—even when life is chaotic. More than once my kids have been late to swimming or baseball because I needed just five more minutes to finish a scene. Their support and encouragement mean the world to me. I also have amazing friends and a support network I couldn’t survive without. So to all of you out there who have encouraged me along the way, sent me emails and fan letters, phone calls and congratulations, I just want to say, thank you. You make this whole writing gig that much more enjoyable. I truly wouldn’t be here without you.”

<b style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">I loved the book but those twists right at the end totally left me in an 'OMG what did I just read' moment</b></div>
<br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">The only other Lily White book that I've read was </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;"><i>Wishing Well</i> </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">, which broke my heart and exploded my mind with it's twistyness. So I was taking rather a chance on this, since it is the continuation of Aiden and Rebecca's story, which I was unfamiliar with. I can tell you now that I easily read this as a stand alone. Yes knowing the entire backstory might have enhanced the read, but I still found it one amazing, mesmerising and absolutely brilliant story anyway. There are some spoilers I guess but I know I can read those books and still be able to enjoy them.</span><br />
<br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">Aiden was a manipulative b*$tard, however he was so blinkered by his own power that he underestimated maybe not so much Rebecca's strength but her resolve. He was also blinkered to the very evident truths of his and Rebecca's stuttering relationship. So used to always being in charge and engineering his own way, by whatever means necessary, Aiden made bad choices for </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">maybe</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;"> good reasons.</span><br />
<br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">Despite her role as a courtesan Rebecca IS strong, my word she found strength even when there seemed to be no hope or no point. She played mind games against the best, and learnt some shocking truths along the way.</span><br />
<br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">This pair had scorching chemistry, and despite not having read their previous two books, I still believed both in them and in their connection with each other. In some ways I'd expected more sex than we got, but it wasn't needed and what we did get was powerful, erotic and hot enough to burn.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; text-align: left;">I can't finish the review without circling back to that epilogue. Bravo Ms White, I totally didn't see that coming, despite the very obvious pointers throughout the story. It made my smile, it warmed my dark little heart and it very definitely placed this as one of my favourite reads of the year. It also consolidated the knowledge that I need to read the rest of this author's books too.</span><br />

I plucked it from his reach, took a long swallow because in this moment I needed the liquid courage. I wasn’t sure where each of us stood. Not after last night. Not after I spoke the painful truth then left him to drown in the depths of it.</span></div>

Lifting his hand, he traced the back of one finger down the line of my jaw. “Look where that got us last time. How many more secrets do you need in order to bury me?”</span></div>

Are you willing to chance that it’s not enough to weaken me?”</span></div>

Especially when you have nothing to offer in return.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">

My heart wasn’t stone. Not like his.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">

Aiden would cling to that failure on my part. Would sip on it like the finest of champagne.</span></div>

She is most known for her Masters Series (Her Master’s Courtesan and Her Master’s Teacher), Target This, Hard Roads, and Asylum. She’s co-authored Serial (a four part serial series). When she isn’t writing as Lily White you can find other books by her under M.S. Willis where she has penned the Control Series, the Estate Series, Because of Ellison (contemporary romance), and Standard Romance Story (Romance Comedy). Lily enjoys stretching her writing muscles by continuing to challenge herself with each book she publishes.</span></span></div>
