Unexpected Circumstances Book Five: The Concubine ~ Shay Savage

Royalty requires sacrifice.

As King Camden’s health declines, the need for an heir becomes crucial, impossible to ignore. With no other viable choice, Alexandra must stand stoically by when Hadley comes to the court of Silverhelm as Branford’s concubine. The queen’s edict of duty echoes through Alexandra’s mind as she accepts the loathsome conditions for the sake of the kingdom. The only person more devastated by the circumstances is Branford himself.

As Branford spurs Alexandra’s affections, and King Edgar continues press his post-war advantage, all seems lost to the young couple. Treachery still lies deep within the castle of Silverhelm, and the revelation of the traitor will come from the least likely of sources. 

Gahhh..I wanted to wait!! I tried talking myself out of reading it..

contemplated waiting till the very last minute

But I couldn't.. I didn't.. 
I knewwww what was going to happen.

I thought up a bunch of other story-lines prior to as well as while I read it..

But in the end the "story" must go on and be told as the author feels it should..

*sigh* beware there was nothing to smile about with this installment..

And now the waiting begins!!

The Bad Ones ~ Stylo Fantome

Love isn't always bright and shiny.

Sometimes, it's dirty and wrong, buried six feet deep in a secret place where only wild things dare to go. Hidden behind a big black curtain that covers things no one should ever see.

Sometimes it happens between two people who should never be allowed to come together. One who is a match, and the other who just happens to be gasoline.

One strike is all it takes to burn the whole world down, and that's exactly what they plan on doing.

Even if it kills them.

warning: this book contains graphic sex, extremely brutal violence, bad language, and people repeatedly and knowingly breaking the law.

Stylo Fantome just never ceases to amaze me.. 

I never know what I'm going to get myself into when scooping up one of her books..

Not one is the same and I LOVE THAT!!!! 

Oh I knew this was going to be a dark read.. I knew it was going to be crazy and twisted 

BUT even knowing that the story was so much MORE..

An incredible demented not your normal Love Story!!

Bad Ones are sometimes just born that way..

But don't take my word for it..

Read it!!

The Enforcer (Untamed Hearts, #3) ~ Kele Moon

They are the lost boys.

Sons of mafia mistresses expected to keep their fathers’ sins in the shadows. The lucky ones are forgotten.

Unfortunately for Valentino “Tino” Moretti, his brother Nova was too smart to be forgotten, and too valuable to risk when he resists a life of crime. So they punished Tino instead. Forced into the cruel world of the Sicilian Mafia at twelve, Tino was broken before he was old enough to know the man he was supposed to be. Now he’s what the mafia made him.

The enforcer.

A trained killer forbidden to love, but he did anyway. He's loved Brianna all along.

Raw and beautiful, their romance was all consuming and far too dangerous. They were ripped apart a long time ago. It’s not until the borgata puts out a hit on her that Brianna falls back into Tino’s arms, churning up their dark past and unraveling all the Moretti brothers’ closely guarded secrets.

This isn’t the end of the story. It’s only the beginning, and it is brutal.

There’s a reason enforcers are considered too deadly to love.

This story has wrecked me!! I laughed, I cried, I bitched

One never knows what a person has gone through by just looking at them..

Family is everything to Tino.. Not just his brother's but those he consider's true friends

The bond and loyalty Tino has displayed over and over again, words could never describe..

He's all about actions and sacrifice!!

He was broken as a child and practically forced into a lifestyle he had no other choice but take on or risk not being there for his brothers.. He carried so much on his shoulders at such an early age,, and basically got the shorter end of the stick every single time he drew!!!

Brianna was his oasis in the dry and dissolute world he found himself stranded in..

And that too was ripped away without his even realizing it!!

Lies, Deception, Secrets..

Will Tino ever get his HEA?

Will Brianna be strong enough to take on what's to come?

I sure as hell hope so... 

I need part 2 NOW!!!

The Rebirth of Sin (Wicked Trinity, #2) ~ Courtney Lane

Keaton Mara once lived through a hell created by the most detestable malefactor she has ever known. Ready to put the worst behind her, she returns to the life she once abandoned with Noah, the man who arguably broke her and saved her simultaneously, at her side. 

Noah Oliver is on what he believes to be an ordained mission. Purging the evil from the world is a crucial element of his personal vendetta. The seduction of the tormented souls, enticing them to give in to their temptations, accompanies his central mission.

Without Noah’s sanctuary to keep his more depraved desires satisfied, and with Keaton attempting to adopt a normal life, Noah faces an inescapable conflict. 

Can Noah keep the devil off his back, or will the individuals he has the grandest plans for witness his wrath when they fall from grace?

Content contains descriptive violence, coarse language, graphic sex, minor horror elements, and scenes that most readers would find objectionable. Reader discretion is strongly advised.

This was a total mind fuck of epic proportion!!

It was broken down into 3 parts for us and I'll just let you know how each part affected 

me and you decide if you can handle the trip it's taken me through..

PART 1..

I was blindsided , I was gutted, I was left in utter shock!!

I was expecting a turn of events but no where near to the extent that we get..

I was fooled, the wool was so thoroughly pulled over my eyes I was clueless and I 

wanted to scream and rant and just throat punch someone due to the unfairness...

PART 2..

"You had to endure the pain to appreciate the pleasure"

BULLSHIT!!!

I wanted to grasp onto any semblance of redemption but there was none to be found

your just left trying to piece together the why's.. because clearly something is not meshing 

and everything must have been a lie or THIS LOVE was just not right...

"You said I should never love you because you wouldn't know how to handle it"

Finally a knight in shining armor? or more ulterior motives?

who can you trust.. why let anyone close if all you're going to do is hurt them!!

Just keep everyone at a distance.. But at what cost?

PART 3...

WHAT THE FUCK!!!

WOW...

I did NOT see that Coming. At. All.

Please, Please, Please let there be an ending where Keaton is the Victor..

I don't think my heart nor hers for that matter can take another hit.. 

I want to hope for the best, I want there to be a healthy obsession but is there such a thing?

She might just need to trust blindly at this point..

I frankly don't see another option.. 

But I'm sure Courtney Lane does..

"Sometimes we have to close our eyes to see the truth?"

Well I'm closing them and wishing for the best!!!

Absolutely BRILLIANT....

Anxiously Awaiting Seducing Virtue!!!

Absolution ~ L.P. Lovell & Stevie J. Cole

Evie

All sins are equal in the eyes of God, but I'm not God. One sinner made me his sin, and I can't let men like him live. I want to kill them. Every. Last. One.
Ezra James is no different. I was going to kill him, but then I found myself obsessed and possessed in the most reverent of ways. I became his sinner, and he became my sin, but the wages of sin is death, so I must kill him.

Ezra

The son of a whore, raised by criminals, molded to fit into a world without morals. I've never given a shit about anything until the night I watched a man drop dead at the feet of my little killer. She called to my depravity, and everything in me demanded that I take her, possess her, own her. Some monsters hide behind the faces of angels.

Damned. Broken. Irredeemable.

Through blood, absolution shall be found. 

Erotically Twisted & Sinful!!

Dark Romance Lovers Cannot Miss this...

This was a Perfect Dark read.. I can't think of one single thing I didn't LOVE about it!!

It was sick as fuck, suspenseful and Hot as HELL!!!

Evie was a vessel.. 

tasked with a mission ~ a  mission she had to see through by all means necessary ~

a mission she was reminded of by the voice in her head! 

She was damaged, irredeemable, a whore, broken... or was she?  

Beauty was evil and a Sinner wasn't as bad as being Sin it self!!

Pain was ABSOLUTION.....

Ezra!!! so many ways to describe this man but to Evie he was a Dark Angel on Earth!!

Damaged in his own way, craving absolute control, he needed to OWN Evie not just have her submission 

he had to have her Body & Soul.

He was evil, he was sin, he was a sinner,  he was punisher, he was judge and jury.

He was ABSOLUTION.....

Holy Crap this was an AMAZING read!!

I couldn't put it down.. From the Epilogue all the way to the very last sentence I was hooked.. Obviously these sort of reads you can't go into the plot or it'll ruin the story so it's just a case of take my word for it..

READ IT!!!

Ezra & Evie were explosive together,, 

Both possessive and jealous, Both Fucked Up, Both just PERFECT for each other..

and for those readers that need a HEA well you sort of, kind of get one!!

These two ladies are just on Fire with this Duo thingy going on!!

Can't wait for Ronan!!

Tryst (Sexual Education, #2) ~ S.L. Jennings

Heidi DuCane is a tough-as-nails publicist with a passion for success and her husband Tucker. While they’re polar opposites, what they do have in common is a fierce love and commitment to each other. But their relationship—in and out of the bedroom—will be put to the ultimate test.

Rock superstar Ransom Reed is every woman’s fantasy, including Heidi’s. When she meets Ransom, she shares a wild night with him where Heidi gets to play—and Tucker watches, and enjoys, the pleasure Ransom gives Heidi. Though Tucker was a willing participant, Heidi still can’t help reeling with guilt. There’s no doubt that she loves her husband. While Tucker is the perfect lover—generous, attentive and gentle—she needs much more. She needs the mind-blowing ecstasy Ransom offers.

Tucker isn’t blind to the fact that Heidi has unconventional needs which he can’t satisfy. He loves his wife and will do anything to please her The night he watched her and Ransom was so scorching hot that Tucker can’t stop thinking about it. He decides he wants to join Ransom in pleasing Heidi. But as Tucker and Heidi soon realize, it’s not just the sex that is enticing. Heidi felt something within her awaken, and she felt so deliciously sated and loved by both men. Tucker felt it too, and he finds it impossible not to want that feeling again.

Ransom and Tucker satisfy a need within Heidi. And now that she’s had them, she can never go back to the way things were before. 

Heidi has some skeletons in her past she thought she'd been able to lock away..

She made a name for her self and has become an icon in her field of work!! 

We met her in Taint.

She's the best at what she does and it's all due to the support, love and understanding of her  husband..

With the Love of her life Tucker she was able to move on.. become whole.. she had everything she ever wanted.. treated like a princess, placed on a pedestal of glass, cherished and coddled..

But would it be enough to keep her dark desires tucked away?

It all started with an innocent question, 

a hypothetical question some lovers have asked in bed.. 

If you had the chance to?.......

Of course since this being part of the Sexual Education series, we know it has to do with exploration, letting go of your inhibitions, trusting your partner and being honest and open with your wants and needs..

There were a few parts that threw me for a loop but I have to say the sexual tension, story-line and overall flow and jaw dropping twist to the story had me up all night reading non stop to see if her marriage could be redeemed, and if so how could everyone get a happy ending..

I felt for all three characters in different ways and that ending was the BEST!!!

Especially enjoyed catching up with Drake Justice himself..

Looking forward to whatever else S.L. Jennings has in store for this series!!
