Unexpected Circumstances Book Seven: The Devastation ~ Shay Savage

Although Branford is broken and desperate, he finds himself with no choice: He must declare war against Hadebrand, or Edgar’s evil darkness will envelop the commonwealth. Silverhelm’s army is grossly outnumbered, but Branford underestimates the people’s love for their commoner queen. The people rise up in support of their beloved regent, and Branford sees a glimmer of hope for his wife. He becomes more determined than ever to make up for his previous failures and secure the future of his kingdom.

With their murderous intentions, the treacherous King Edgar and Princess Whitney must pay for what they have done. They must not be allowed to destroy everything the people hold dear.

With but faint hope in his heart, Branford gathers his people and marches toward the castle in Hadebrand, gathering allies along the way. With the support of other noble families, Branford will have to find the strength to fight for the very survival of his own.

He sees only one path: the annihilation of his enemy.

Abso~freaking~lutely Fantastic!!!

This was the FINAL installment and what an ending..

I definitely got my historical Romance fix with this.. But it was unique to anything I've read before it had a mix of suspense and mystery.. It had angst, it had heart break, it had some really Hot scenes..

I was hooked from the first book with Alexandra's innocence's and Brandford's need for vengeance what a pair those two would make.

If you've been following this series as I have it's been a nail biter, 

Kindle flinging, edge of your seat type of read!! with all the cliff hangers and jaw dropping moments..

Shay Savage has managed to wow me yet again!!

Obviously there were some upset readers.. I was one of them as well but hey the story kept true to what she wanted and I have to say as gut wrenching as some parts were to get through I devoured Every. Single. Moment of it and to be honest I wouldn't want to change a thing.

I won't get into the story but I will end this short and to the point review by saying I felt SO much while reading this series and that's something that I always crave when I pick up a book!!

So beware because there were triggers and situations some will NOT LIKE but in the end to each their own!

I LOVED IT!!!

Opaque Mirrors ~ Courtney Lane

When the line between fiction and reality bleeds, there is no end to the lies or a truth to be found.

It was never supposed to happen. He was supposed to remain a porn star—the source of my fantasies—in my expansive collection of torture porn. But he found me, and he only wants one thing from me. He calls it the ultimate orgasm; death.

He gives me the illusion of choice—my life or his.

I thought my choice would be the end of my troubles, but it followed me to a town known for its close-minded, small population and hypocritical way of thinking. 

My madness lurks in the shadows. It watches me and seduces me with pretty smiles and dirty degradation. It assures me that my fantasies aren't wrong. It tells me that they will star in all of my nightmares…and I want nothing more.

Content contains strong violence, coarse language, graphic sex, scenes of horror, and situations that most readers would find objectionable. Reader discretion is highly advised.

Fiction & Reality were completely BLURRED...

This was an absolute Mind Fuck!!

I just didn't know what to believe.. the Title is so fitting

Nothing was as it seemed, but then again the story had you thinking it was so 

transparent when it really wasn't..

Whitney tried to move on.. tried hard to put her 

past behind her..

tried to suppress her erotic desires, 

her dangerous thoughts ..

Her fantasies of erotic torture!!

what's a girl to think or do when the very thought of getting her hands on 

snuff porn gets her excited, can so easily get her off!!

Were her daydreams real? did she have anything to do with all the murders taking place? 

Was she losing her mind?

What was real?

This read was filled with twists and turns,, 

mind games like I never could've imagined..

I thought I was having a nervous breakdown while reading it.

It felt sort of like a "who done it" murder mystery..

With an Erotic flare!!

Mason was an enigma hot and cold.. 

He pushed all of Whitney's naughty buttons and was able to fulfill her darkest desires..

Was he a mind reader? where did he come from? 

what secrets did he hide behind that control freak persona?

 why the mood swing's into a total asshole?

Up until the very end I held my breath, when it all finally began to unravel and the puzzle pieces were neatly placed.. (and no they did not just fall into place for me)

It's all made clear and we are no longer looking at a distorted picture.. But one with full clarity, fucked up truths and an HEA..

 Are you ready for the Ultimate Orgasm?

A Love so Tragic ~ Stevie J. Cole

Promises. 

We all make them. Sometimes we break them. But what happens when the promise you break haunts your dreams, when that moment of betrayal echoes within every last beat of your heart? 

Love. 

Love is passionate, painful, and all consuming in the most brutal yet beautiful way. How many people have you said 'I love you' to? Five, ten, maybe no one? I've said that word to two men, but only one where I felt it. 

Tragic. 

This word sums up my relationship with Nicolas: devastating, painful, depressing. 

A first love that should have lasted a lifetime, but I ruined with a stupid decision. Nicolas is my star crossed lover, and even though Shakespeare has taught me that stories such as ours always end in tragedy, I can't not love him, even if I'm married to someone else.

I don't condone cheating, I don't think it's right in any way, shape or form
Blah Blah Blah!!
But I'm not gonna lie and say I made an exception to read this or "I had no clue" what this read might be about..
The fact is I really, REALLY enjoy reading about it.. I love the anticipation, the anxiety maybe the adrenaline rush from the possibility of getting caught..
That's why I read..
To immerse myself  in these characters lives to feel what they feel, from a spectators POV though,,

This is a story on how 1 mistake can change so many lives, how the simplest of acts can and will change the path of your life, how not every sacrifice or well meant decision is the right one.

Sometimes not even time can overcome fate..
Destiny is Destiny
Why fight it even if  it my lead to more heart ache or even tragedy?

I absolutely LOVED this Tragic Love story
cheating be damned because there was cheating..
But hey maybe one wrong can un~wrong another?

Ink & Lies ~ S.L. Jennings

From International Best Selling Romance Novelist, Hope Hughes, comes a gripping, 

heartfelt tale of two lovers, fighting for the freedom to…

No. Scratch that. Too cheesy.

…two people, torn apart by the tumultuous tides of life, only to discover refuge in…

WTF? What does that even mean? DELETE.

…two people, confused as shit as to where they should be and who they should love and none of this means 

a damn thing because it’s all lies!
Lies.
I’m not Hope Hughes. I’m not some fierce woman romance machine. Hell, I’m not even a woman.
I’m a liar.
And while I refuse to believe my own BS, deceit masked in heartfelt phrases of love and devotion, I want to make her believe them. Because maybe—just maybe—if she can 

find the soul within my words, she’ll also be able to find the truth scribbled on my heart.
You see, I once lived for the perfect plot twist.
I just never expected to actually live it.
This is my story. Well, maybe her story. I just wish I could make it our story.
The one I’m still writing. 

A Fun Quirky Spin on a "Not what is EXPECTED" friends to lovers tale!!

Fi never lost hope of finding her HEA  although August was adamant there was no such thing.

BUT....

When the possibility of losing the most important person in his life causes August to REALLY see what was always in front of him..

Well lets just say he wasn't quiet expecting the outcome..

Time isn't always on your side..

The world just doesn't stand still for you to make up your mind..

You Snooze, You Loose!!

My Time in the Affair ~ Stylo Fantome

~Mischa~ 

I made a conscious decision to cheat on my husband. 

Now, before you judge me, hear my story. Hear how much I'm like you, how similar my thoughts are to your own. Yes, I'm a horrible person. Yes, I've done horrible things. Yes, I don't deserve forgiveness. Yes, bad things happened because of my actions. 

But I'm willing to bet I've done things that maybe, just maybe, you have thought of doing. 

Maybe, just maybe, you're not as innocent as you'd like to think. 

Or maybe I'm not so guilty ... 

Warning this book had to do with cheating

It's not sugar coated, she wasn't legally separated, she made a conscious decision to do so.

I do not condone cheating but have to admit I love the adrenaline rush I get when reading about it.. 

The unknown, the guilt, the emotions..It all plays havoc on me and I Love It!!!

It all starts with!!!

This was the first book I'd picked up by Stylo Fantome and I was hooked!!!

The pace of the book, the characters, the emotions all flowed so seamlessly

I Loved how Mischa wasn't in denial over what was going on.. 

she didn't blame anyone but herself for what she'd done...did she have second thoughts? Yes..

Did she question her actions and feel regret?  Abso~fucking~lutely...

Was there a back story and events that lead to her adulterous status? Uh Yea..

But she owned it.. She was honest with her self and to those she hurt when it was time..

But there was SO much more going on in this story.. 

believe it or not that was just a sliver of what had actually been set in motion..

There was suspense, there was drama, there were tear jerking moments I had to claim something got in my eye.. 

and there was SEX... rip your clothes off, up against the wall  smexin, dirty talking, panty drenching sex..

So Heck yes this was a Fan~freaking~tastic read..

which made me a total fan of this author

Like a Lover (Housemates, #2) ~ Jay Northcort

Josh has a plan: get through uni with a good degree and no debt. Focused on his goals, he pays his way by working as an escort. He enjoys the no-strings sex because he doesn’t have time for a relationship. Falling in love definitely isn’t part of the deal—especially not with a client.

When Rupert meets Josh in a bar, he’s smitten on sight. He’s never paid for sex, but when Josh propositions him, he can’t resist. He should’ve known one night would never be enough. Luckily for him he has an inheritance to fund his addiction to Josh, because his job in IT support wouldn’t cover the cost.

With each encounter the lines get blurred, creating something that feels more like a relationship than a business transaction. But they come from different worlds, and to go from client-and-escort to lovers seems impossible. If they want a future together, Josh and Rupert have a lot to overcome.

I 'm hooked and now always look forward to Jay Northcort's reads..

This one was a treat.. It was based on Josh's story, we met him in Helping Hand

He was an openly gay roommate that provided some much needed advise..

Advise he didn't seem to follow when it came to his own issues..

Josh was on a mission and had his blinders on when it came to relationships..

Even though he technically wasn't adverse to them.. Just didn't think he'll ever find his Mr. Right..

Rupert was just plain adorable and Hot!!

He was basically cornered into the situation he found himself in with Josh and couldn't find a way around it where they could both come out the Victorious. He was just going with the flow, didn't want to mess up a good thing but definitely wanted more..

Communication is SO important and there seemed to be a lack of that here...

Luckily it didn't drag for too long and we got our happily ever after..

With some Smokin' Scenes and a Few Laughs!!

Josh & Rupert
