    Review: The Wolf and the Wildflower by Ella Fields

    I could probably write a whole ass essay on this book, but since I would have to spoil the fuck out of it to do that, I'm going to have to do my best to relay what I can in this vague enough review. 


    The Wolf and the Wildflower starts out as a one night stand turned days long affair between Aster and Scythe, but it quickly evolves into a complicated, layered story of fate, betrayal, pride, heartbreak, and love filled with twists, turns, and tragedy. If you don't shed a few tears reading this book, you need to check your pulse to see if you're still alive! The intense emotions these characters felt poured off the pages straight into my heart, and I felt every single one of them. 


    Ella gave me all the emotional torment that made me fall in love with her writing when I read her first NA romance and swirled it together with fantasy and magic. She topped it off with a hefty dose of hot sex and sweet nothings and created utter perfection! This is definitely one of my favorite fantasies she's written thus far. 


    From the beginning, there are clearly secrets being withheld, but every time you think you've learned them all, you find out you're wrong. Each new bit of information changes so much about the characters and the story, and some of it is absolutely gut-wrenching. Everything is expertly revealed with perfect timing for maximum impact, and it delivers exactly what it's supposed to.


    I love Aster and Scythe, but one of the most interesting characters that brought some of the strongest emotions out of me was Rorn. That's probably an unpopular statement, but it's the truth. He is such a tragic character to me, and as fucked up as some of the stuff he did was, my heart broke for him, too. 


    That being said, I don't excuse him for his unforgivable actions. I do wish things could have ended differently where he was concerned though, and I don't feel even a little bit bad about that. In fact, I bet if we got this story from his point of view, it would have destroyed us all. 


    I credit Ella's amazing writing for all of my complicated feelings. She could have written Rorn as a one dimensional asshole that didn't know what he had and betrayed the one he loved most for no good reason, but instead, she gave him so much complexity that I'll never forget this story. 


    Fantasy romance fans, this one's for you!

    Release Blitz with Review:Tempt by Melanie Harlow

    November 21, 2022

     

    You’ve heard the story about the wedding planner who falls for the groom?
    Well, this is the one where she falls for his father.
    And that groom? He’s my ex.

    TEMPT, an all-new scorching hot age gap, forbidden, small town romance, featuring a plus-sized heroine and her ex’s irresistible dad from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow, is now available!


                      

    I didn’t realize who the gruff, gorgeous older man was the night he rescued me from a creep in a Manhattan hotel bar. All I knew was that a hot, bearded stranger with a protective streak showed up right when I needed a reminder that real gentlemen still exist.

    (Although he left his manners behind after asking me up to his room.)

    It was the hottest night of my life, but I never thought I’d see the former Navy SEAL again.

    Imagine my surprise at the rehearsal dinner one week later, when my sexy one-night stand is introduced as the father of the groom. Even more surprising? That temptation we felt in New York was no fluke.

    In public, we pretend there’s nothing between us.

    In private, we can’t keep our hands off each other.

    The situation is beyond complicated. Zach never even knew he’d fathered a child until recently, and he wants to earn his son’s trust and respect. As for me, I’m looking for a man who wants to start a family, and Zach has made it clear he’s not that man. He’s fifteen years older, newly divorced, and he lives across the country.

    But no matter how many times we draw the line, we keep crossing it.

    Nothing so wrong should ever feel so right.

    The one thing that I really like about this author is that she gives you all the feels when it comes to small town romance. You’re going to get swept up in the quaint little town, the loving people, and the thrill of finding that new kind of love and witnessing every moment from start to finish. This is what she brings to every book and this story was no different.

    Millie Rose has always had big dreams of doing something on her own eventually but being a wedding planner for her family’s business is more than enough for her right now. She’s single, happy with her family life, and is enjoying being in the present. But one night at a hotel bar changes everything and decides to go out of her comfort zone, Millie embarks on something that she swore she would never do. When that moment resurfaces a few weeks later and makes things in her personal life more complicated, she has to decide whether if some things are worth fighting for.

    foreheadkiss

    I don't want to go too deep in the premise of the story but I will say that I really liked that this was a good forbidden romance. It took it’s time in the important parts and the characters actually spent a lot of time getting to know each other and building something good even though it was done in private the majority of the time. Despite a few bumps in the road that threw their romance off track for a little bit, there was still something that was genuine and deep with these characters and you felt their love. It was slow burn, hypnotic and it made you want to be a part of the family.


    If you’re looking for a small town eyebrow raising romance, then this one’s for you.

    She thinks our story is over.

    Blurb:

    From USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Michelle Heard, writing as MA Heard, comes a new, full-length Dystopian Romance novel.


    Over the past four decades, the dome over our Ecocity has protected us from the deviants living in the forbidden territory. Since the great war ended, our lives have consisted of virtue and order.


    Once a year, seven people are sent out to the forbidden lands to see if there are any deviants worth saving. None have returned, only increasing people's fear of what lies beyond the safe border of the dome.


    When I’m chosen as a crusader, the world, as I know it, is ripped from under my feet. In the forbidden territory, I learn things I never dreamed existed – a world I’ve been totally oblivious to. I meet people who freely show emotion and affection. People who dare make their own choices.


    It’s frightening and the opposite of everything I’ve ever known.


    Suddenly, I have to fight for my life. I’m thrown into chaos where time is running out to become a skilled fighter who will be an asset for the coming war. But my mind’s bombarded with questions – who’s right and who’s wrong? Which side should I fight on?


    I don’t belong in this world filled with cruelty and depravity.


    Then there’s Chance, my reluctant trainer. The man is the definition of deadly and so attractive I struggle to think straight around him. I’m also pretty sure he would love nothing more than to snap my neck. Cruel, impatient, and harsh, he’s a brute who seems annoyed by my existence.


    Honestly, I’m not sure I will survive living with the deviants, never mind fighting in a war. Unless I find my courage and learn to fight for myself, I fear this new world will crush me.

    Blog Tour with Review: Prince of Hawthorne Prep by Jennifer Sucevic

    November 12, 2022

    𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐚𝐰𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩 by Jennifer Sucevic is LIVE! It's a new adult, enemies to lovers, sports romance you won’t want to miss!



    Blurb

    Welcome to the world of Hawthorne Prep.  A seemingly idyllic school where ivy clings to the thick stone walls and a wrought iron gate keeps out the townies who can’t afford to foot the hefty price tag.

    Except…I’m one of those townies.

    I don’t belong here.

    Most of the time, I feel like an outsider with her face smashed against a windowpane while staring inside.  It’s a lonely feeling.  One I’ve gotten used to.  There are times when I secretly wonder if I’ll make it through senior year intact.

    But then someone comes along and turns my world upside down and inside out.  He makes me feel things I never dreamed possible.  There’s a possessiveness to the way he watches me, and it sets my nerves on edge.

    Especially when it’s in front of my boyfriend.

    The one I desperately want to break up with.

    The very same one who will make my life hell if I try to pull the plug.

    Steering clear of Austin Hawthorne is my only option.  A little attempt at self-preservation.  For both our sakes. 

    One night changes everything between us and has me believing in the possibility of something more.

    Just as swiftly as I’m given hope, it all comes crashing down around my head, making me a pawn in a game between two boys who will stop at nothing to take each other down.

    Betrayal.  Blackmail.  Revenge.

    How is it that those three words now rule my life?

    Ya'll…. Listen to me very carefully. What in the deliciously sick tarnation did I just read??? I don't know if I should be in therapy right now because I was cheering on the madness and laughing my butt off at times or saying screw it and embrace the crazy because I freakin loved it!

    giphy-19

    Rev has one goal and that's getting out of town and starting over somewhere new. Being in a small town and having to deal with entitled pricks on a daily basis is starting to reach its boiling limit with him and he has no reason to stay. That is until one of his classmates shakes up his entire world and leaves a mark that sets off a dangerous attraction and more in it's wake.

    We were given a warning for this story and based on the prologue, I knew that this was not going to be an easy read. I felt it immediately and because of that, I went into this with a bit of trepidation which was warranted because my god!! The shit that went down in this book was effed up. I'm not even going to sugar coat this at all because I can't.

    These characters didn't cross any lines whatsoever. Do you know what they did? They set them on freakin fire and then walked into that fire and then sat down and smoked a damn cigarette as if nothing happened! I can't even fathom wtf I just read and quite frankly if this is just the first book, you bet your ass I'm coming prepared for book 2. I need snacks, wine, rum, more rum and a therapist on call in that order.

    tumblr-n78p72owc-J1s4oyx6o1-500


    This is not your typical dark read and I'm telling you right now please read the warnings and proceed with liquor. If you're looking for a messed up, twisted, dirty, thrilling revengeful read,this is hands down your book.


    Excerpt

    “Close your eyes.”
    She arches a brow but thankfully does what she’s told—for once.
    Ignoring every inch of my protesting body, I limp toward the lake’s edge because something amazing is about to happen. The sky lights up with thousands of lights, and it’s fucking beautiful.
    Cupping my hands gently, I smile and hobble back over to Darcie.
    Dropping to my knees before her, I say, “Open your eyes.”
    When she does, she meets mine, then looks at my cupped palms. I open them, and her reaction is worth almost toppling over in pain.
    “Oh my God,” she cries, steepling her fingertips over her mouth. “I thought they only came out during the summer.”
    “Not all of them.”
    We both watch as the firefly I caught lights up the space between us. It hovers between us, not appearing to be in any hurry to join its many friends.
    “It’s beautiful,” Darcie says, her eyes glued to the firefly, and I know she sees the beauty in something so simple as well.
    No matter what we’ve done, no matter what we do, we’re just a couple of misfits trying our best to survive.
    I hook my thumb over my shoulder, and as the moon comes out of hiding, so do the thousands of fireflies, lighting up the night sky.
    “Rev,” she gushes, coming to a stand and running toward the lake’s edge, her arms spread out wide like she too wishes she could light up the darkness. But little does she know, she lights up mine every single day.
    Our little friend flies away, knowing his job here is done.
    I join Darcie, standing by her side as we silently peer into the sky littered with fireflies. She reaches down and loops her fingers through mine. The fireflies soon pale compared to the fire burning between us.
    As usual, the world fades into the background until it’s just Darcie and me.
    “Thank you for bringing me here,” she says in an almost whisper. “It’s my first date.”
    “Sorry I bled through half of it.”
    She smiles, and the sight takes my breath away.
    “Why do they light up like that?”
    “Because of a chemical reaction caused by the organic compound, luciferin, in their abdomens,” I reply without thought.
    “Luciferin,” she repeats softly. “Sounds kind of diabolical, which is ironic, considering it relates to something so beautiful.”
    I can’t help but compare her analogy to herself—Darcie is kind of diabolical, but she is the most beautiful girl in the world.
    I’ve always hated the word love. It gets thrown around so easily, losing its meaning. But luciferin, now that is a unique word. And this right now, this feels something like luciferin.

    Blog Tour with Review: Blaze of Misery by Brynn Ford

    Blaze of Misery, Bk. 2 in the Ember Glen series by Brynn Ford, is LIVE!



    Title: Blaze of Misery
    Author: Brynn Ford
    Series Name: Ember Glen 
    Genre: Dark Dystopian Romance   

    Blurb

    Mercy endures brutal punishment for her so-called sins, and Arlo’s warped worldview begins to fracture. While his affection for her grows, she comes to accept her fate. Knowing her death is inevitable, their passion ignites, setting a blaze across the boundary line between purity and pleasure.

    Arlo
    She’s destined to die, yet she consumes my every waking thought.

    I’m struggling against everything I’ve been taught to believe.
    I’m falling for a sinner, and my passion for her is destroying my world.

    As Mercy endures untold torment at the hands of my brothers, my soul splinters, breaking in ways I didn’t know was possible. I want her so much it consumes me. I need her so much that I’d burn for eternity in exchange for a single moment with her…if only I could sell my soul to spare her life.

    The fear of her looming death begs my mind to open, and all I want is a world where she lives.

    Mercy
    Absolution. They could etch the word into my skin, and still, it would never find me.

    The trials for my soul begin, but they aren’t truly meant to save me.
    Nothing can save me from the way I’ve been broken by the men of Ember Glen.

    The man who hurt me the most is also the man whose touch sets me on fire. Arlo Rainn hasn’t earned my thoughts, my attention, or my desire, yet he possesses me entirely. My feelings for him strengthen as we explore our forbidden passion, and as he comes to know me better, he begins to see the world through my eyes.

    My warden’s perspective is shifting, and I fall deeper into the madness of my need for him.

    AUTHOR NOTE: This is a dark romance series that involves many triggering elements which may be upsetting for some readers. A complete list of tropes and triggers can be found on the author’s website.

    Blaze of Misery is book 2 of 3 in the Ember Glen series and it ends on a cliffhanger. The trilogy follows Mercy and Arlo and must be read in order.

    Title: Ruined Kingdom
    Series: Ruined Kingdom Duet #1
    Author: Natasha Knight
    Genre: Dark Mafia/MFM Romance
    Release Date: November 1, 2022


    BLURB

    Death. Loyalty. Lies.

    I never imagined my first trip to Italy would be to bury my father.

    But there I stood, in a beautiful cathedral, alone with my grief and my father’s casket, a handful of soldiers standing guard.

    It never occurred to me that anyone, even our enemies, would disrupt the sanctity of the moment.

    But the Caballero brothers have little regard for the church and even less for my family. They marched in weapons in hand and turned my world upside down.

    They shattered what peace I had.
    They desecrated my father’s body.
    And they took what they wanted. What they felt they were owed. Me.

    I’m a princess in a tower in a breathtaking villa.
    My bedroom overlooks the turquoise sea, but the door is locked.

    And if I ever hope to be free, I have to contend with not one but two dragons.

    October 26, 2022

     

    THE BEGINNING OF US by Lylah James is NOW AVAILABLE!!

    What happens when you put three beautifully tragic and flawed characters together? You get a story of love, friendship and sacrifice. With lots and lots of heartbreak.

    A messy love triangle about first love and second chances. And everything in between...

        

    Blurb:

    There’s something special about first love. It feels right; it looks right. It’s perfect in every way, until it isn’t.

    Grayson Hale — the hot nerd, my first love. He was an enigma. Both mysteriously complicated and beautifully broken. The vacant look in his eyes reminded me of my own, almost as if our misery called to one another.

    Colton Bennett — the sarcastic playboy, my second chance. He was a perfect facade. Rich, devastatingly beautiful…and everything that I should have stayed away from. His obsession led to my carefully laid plans crumbling at my feet. 

    And me? I was the fallen princess. I had given up on finding my soulmate a long time ago, but now they are both in my life. I’m torn between my truth and my lies — but I have to make a choice. 

    The thing about loving two men is that you know it will always end...

    Grayson was my tragedy. 
    Colton was my heartbreak.

    New Release with Review: Where Love Lies by M.N Forgy

    October 25, 2022

     




    Title: Where Love Lies
    Author: M.N. Forgy
    Genre: Thriller Romantic Suspense
    Release Date: October 24, 2022


    BLURB

    Feeling completely sapped of life, Rain and her daughter move to the suburbs of Fairview, where white picket fences, welcoming neighbors, and immaculate green lawns make her forget the pain she’s running from. Settling into her new life, she can’t stop thinking about the guy who wrecked her car. He’s charming, says the right things, and crashed into her life right when she needs it the most. It’s only natural Mr. Handsome presents Rai with a big, shiny rock to make it picture perfect.
    Then a new neighbor moves down the street. Menacing sleeves of tattoos, a permanent scowl, single with no kids—he doesn’t belong in this family-friendly community.
    People are whispering.
    Doors are staying locked.
    Secrets are being shared.
    Heart pleasing love doesn’t exist here. It digs a grave and lies in it, whispering untold truths. The quaint town of Fairview isn’t so safe anymore—and neither is Rain.

    I have been a huge fan of this author MC series so when I saw that she was coming out with a new mystery thriller, I knew that I had to read this one as well. Where Love Lies had the promise of something dangerous and all consuming lurking in the background that was going to lead to an all out thrilling showdown but sadly that was not the case.

    Looking for a fresh start with her daughter, Rain has bought a new house in a quiet and friendly neighborhood. With new beginnings comes the start of friendships and potential love interests and for someone who is fresh off a bitter divorce, Rain isn't looking forward to putting herself out there. But that all changes when she runs into someone who makes her rethink the idea of dating and moving forward.


    Where-Love-Lies-Teaser-1

    Now in a state of bliss and getting settled into her life, Rain is finally at a point in her life where she’s happy. But with happiness comes a few cracks that just keeps getting bigger and bigger and before you know it, your entire foundation begins to crumble. With danger on the other side, can Rain fight for the happiness that she’s always wanted or will it be too late?

    I was expecting a lot more with this story if I’m being honest and I was under the impression that this was going to be an intense romance thriller. I was not a fan of the insta love it was extremely rushed along with other things. Towards the end had too much going on and felt like I was reading a different book at times. I did love the neighborhood setting and the side characters and I would secretly love to see them get their own books. Aside from that, if you’re looking for a quick romance with a bit of mystery to it, this one might be for you.
