Book Summary:

She calls it stalking, I call her mine.

After a traumatic childhood, Madelyn wanted nothing more than to be normal. It
seemed to be working out for her too, until she discovered that she had a stalker. He knew things about her, things no one else was supposed to know, and he wouldn't seem to take"no" for an answer. To top it off, he wasn't human. He was a wolf shifter and he claimed that the two of them were destined to be together. He was obsessed and she found herself intrigued by that fact because that meant that he was just as messed up as she was.

Monster. Murderer. Evil. He was all those things and more. Even so, Fate stepped in and put Madelyn in his path, and he felt like he was being given a second chance for both him and his wolf. Obsessed didn't even come close to how he felt about her and he wanted to possess her in every way possible.

However, when his past came back to haunt him, and threatened Madelyn in the process, he could only hope that he was strong enough to pull them both out of the darkness.

My Thoughts:

This didn't disappoint. Madelyn is a fun, feisty, stubborn, and sexy MFC, and Xavier the MMC is strong, and dominating, but with a soft spot for his girl. Throw in that he is a wolf shifter and wow! I loved the stalker element of the story. You just never knew what he was going to do next. I also loved how he was willing to change for his girl and protect her with his life. This was a fun, steamy, quick read.

Book Summary:

Fornication is a sin.

As it reads, we should flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.

They teach us that these thoughts, these actions, are immoral. But that dark side that lives inside us, the true nature of man, drives us to seek the need that burns within, demanding to be set free. Deep inside our bones lies that intrinsic need, one desperate to escape. An innate behavior, seemingly out of our control.

One that screams for sins they tell us are condemning.

Areo is the throat from which I scream.

The dark parts of myself I want to keep hidden from this world are all he sees when he gazes at me beneath yet another mask.

He's the demon drowning me in my own underlying desires.

He may never stop. Not until I succumb to my truths, or die beneath the weight of his unrelenting grasp.

Because according to him, the life I've been living is a hell far worse than death.

My Thoughts:

I picked this up because I was looking for a great male narrator and Joe Arden came highly recommended. He and Desiree Ketchum did not disappoint in the reading of this book. On a side note if you are highly religious this probably isn't the book for you and read the trigger warnings. There's a whole list.

"Through the nose remember. Just like we practiced." 

This book is dark and steamy and I loved every minute of it. Areo is all kinds of messed up and he's out to convert his little doll Briony. The characters were out of this world and the crazy was perfect. Areo the MMC is dominating, possessive, obsessive, and methodical. He brings crazy a whole new meaning. The little blossom Briony the MFC is a sweet little church girl hiding her dark side. She isn't anyone's queen. She's a king all on her own. I loved that she broke Areo down and met him on his side of crazy. This book was so delicious and unhinged that I couldn't stop listening. Way to go Jescie Hall I'm off to check what else you have available to read.

Book Summary:

Sacred Vows.
Brutal Truths.
And a campus king hell-bent on owning me.

This town has become my nightmare, and Roman Rush is both my tormentor and my salvation. I’ve been drawn into his dark world, caught in his snare, and the more I pull against his control, the tighter his grip. I’m desperate to break free, but I have to stay for Bree. There’s a mystery shrouding her that I’m determined to uncover…

As my relationship with Roman intensifies, I discover something that brings my entire world crashing down—a dark truth that makes me question everything I thought I knew about Roman and the Sacred Sons…

My Thoughts:

Lux and Roman are toxic and I'm here for it. Lux is still trying to hunt down Bree's killer. All while getting more involved with the Sacred Sons. In the meantime, Roman is doing everything possible to keep Lux from finding out about his brother. We all know that will not go over well when Lux finds out. And of course, there is all the steamy tension. The story keeps you hanging on the edge the whole time and then leaves you waiting for book 4. Oh, the waiting!

Book Summary:

I've always been drawn to magic. I had no idea it would mess up my life like this.

Anna knows what she wants.

As the only human living among the Originals of Grimm Academy, life has its challenges. But with her dark past, Anna is no stranger to challenges.

When she finally gets the job she's always wanted and enters the Restricted Section of the Grimm Academy Library, she is selected by a book. The only problem is, no human has ever been selected by a book in the Lexarcanum.

As a newly discovered Original, Anna is forced to go from being a librarian to being a student at Grimm Academy.

And if that weren’t enough, she is forced to study with an annoying new shifter professor, Jericho Bane.
But there are strange things happening, dark forces at work that are looking to sew destruction and a mystery that is begging to be solved. Is Anna a human? An Original? Or something else entirely...

With the fate of all humankind hanging in the balance, Anna is forced to confront her own fears and become more than she ever thought she could be.

Destiny has never been more difficult.

My Thoughts:

Welcome to Grimm Academy where fairytales are reality. Where you meet shifters, vampires, and fae. This book just sucks you in. The world-building is top notch and the characters are fabulous. It's filled with magic, intrigue, romance, spice, and history. You are constantly on the edge of your seat, wondering what is going to happen next. There is just so much going on to keep you reading. 

But beware there is a cliffhanger. Lyra does warn us but really who's not going to read the last chapter? Aren't we all gluttons for punishment? Well, I was, and man I never saw that coming. Now to wait... for Book 2: A Midnight of Dreams. 

Highly recommend!

Book Summary:

What would you do if you felt free to act on your every sexual whim?

I never thought you would find me at a sex club, but embracing my sexual liberation led me to places I'd only dreamed of. I promised Vivian that I wouldn't let anything hold me back from living my best life, and I intend to keep that promise. This journal is every dirty detail of my experiences with the people I've met since that tragic day. Nathan, Mark, Keith, Ace, Kendra, the list goes on and on.

Skinny dipping, public sex, BDSM, threesomes, exhibitionism, and more await you in this journal. One thing I never expected? That this would give me the confidence to embrace who I was always meant to be.

My Thoughts:

This was a quick 121 pages of interesting, steamy, sexy stories. The entire story is told in journal entries. Which was something new for me. The MFC is out to explore her sexuality. All while telling her friend Vivian all about it in her journal. The story has a plot and storyline to go with the sexy entries. It's not much but there is a small one there. You get to see the MFC grow as the journal comes together. I enjoyed it immensely.

Book Summary:

I taunted a monster. Now I’m caught in his claws.
He was only supposed to be a faceless fantasy.
A masked man from the app to enact my darkest, most depraved impulses with.
But I played games with the wrong stranger and caught the attention of a psychopath.
Because Kratos Drakos isn’t just Greek Mafia royalty. He’s not just lethally powerful, physically massive, and dangerously gorgeous.
I’ve seen what lurks beneath his mask: a beast with a primal taste for chasing, catching, and corrupting.
Now, to stop a mafia war, I’m being wed to that very monster.
But the deeper I’m drawn into Kratos’ twisted reality, the more I realize one thing:
The most dangerous game you can play with a psychopath isn’t running away.
It’s falling for one.

My Thoughts:

This is a standalone dark mafia romance. Read the trigger warnings before starting.

OMG! I flew through this book it was intense. Bianca the MFC is the perfect little ballerina princess, but she has a dark side she wants to explore. Lucky for her, her brother just launched a website for just this sort of primal play. Unlucky for her or unlucky for her, you decide, Krato the MMC, the guy's car she just blew up, is obsessed with her and is the only primal player to respond to her invite. Krato is a sexy, hot, brute who will turn Bianca's life upside down. That rain scene... Let's just say I'm pretty sure rain is my new favorite thing. I loved the plot twist and the hints leading you to his next mafia romance. So good! Highly recommend it and will patiently wait for the next book. Ok maybe not patiently.
