Before I even say how much I loved this book, can I just say I teared up with the dedication alone?
In Death We Part is a wild ride, to put it mildly. Diana is everything I wish I could be. She is strong, confident, and knows what she wants in life. A genuine role model not just as a curvy FMC, but a FMC in general. She's smart and sassy and takes no one's crap. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) for her, she finds herself kidnapped and at the mercy of four men who have been following her in secret to claim the bounty on her head. Sure, they're alphaholes, but that doesn't mean she backs down and becomes timid. Diana takes charge and they quickly find themselves obsessed with her. And these are no ordinary men and bring some ... surprises to her life.
This book was dark, incredibly dark, but in the best way possible. The humor and banter between the main characters kept the book from being too much. While I put Diana on a pedestal for how incredible she is, it did not overshadow the men at all. I know I shouldn't be able to pick favorites, but if you have read any of my reviews you know it's always the dark twisted one that steals my heart and Ares was no exception. All of the characters have their own distinct personalities and the adventure itself was incredibly fun. The plot wasn't drowned out in spice, and the spice itself was incredibly well done.
I can't believe that was it when I got to the last page, but you know I'm throwing my money into preordering the next one immediately. I have not stopped talking and recommending this book in weeks now. Every group and book club I am in has heard my praises, and I've even converted one of my book clubs to read it this month.
If you've ever considered dabbling in reading about primal play, dubcon, "extra special equipment," RH with sword crossing, praise, dominance/submission, knife play or any other of the other fun content warnings for this, this is a great way to start.

When a book makes you laugh just as much as it enthrals you in the story and hooks you into the smexy times - you know you're onto a winner. The guys in this book are all slightly deranged in a different way and I'm really here for it. Diana is a strong contender for best FMC of the year in my opinion. She is strong emotionally, confident in her body (which I freaking love!) and she is obviously going to be so freaking powerful. I really enjoyed this story and I like that I can't guess what will happen next! Sign me up for anything by this author!

Becoming a new Witch
This is the first book in The Dangerous Lovers series. Diana is a hard working and playing college girl who just thinks she has been having regular horrible migraines. It isn't until 20% into the book that she's told by her family that she has magical abilities and the migraines are her magic coming through.
There's a lot to love in this book. The fact that Diana is a plus sized young woman who is happy with who she is and flaunts her body. She's gorgeous inside and out. She takes pride in her sexuality and isn't ashamed of who she is.
Then we have the men. Bash is a over protective possessive Alpahole, who claimed her without permission. Then there's Ares, he's a psychotic Greek God who has a hair trigger on his temper, he also has fallen for Diana after first seeing her. Mal is perfectly named, Malcontent, he has a bad temper, he's jealous of the feelings that the other men have for her. He's Hellbound and he feeds off of fear and bad feelings. Desmond is the leader of the gang and an Empath. He also gives off Daddy vibes, he reves Diana's engine off of these vibes alone and he tries to stay away from her, but these men share. They are in a poly relationship before Diana shows up in their lives and they want to continue this relationship. Because of this dynamic this story is very spicy

This book was so good from start to finish it had me turning pages trying to figure out what was going to happen next I couldn't get enough. There was so much going on in this book that had twists and turns as Diana learns that her family has been keeping a big secret and that they had altered her memories, so what is a girl to do except to run, and run right into 4 men who are more than they seem to be. Bash is the kind who is over the top and jealous, Ares will do anything for her, Desmond is the dominant one that gives off the Daddy vibe he wants her but won't or can't give in to the goal of taking Satan out, Mal he doesn't like Diana at first, but he's jealous as well as angry of the sexy times his friends spend with her. Then there's a 5th guy that says he's trying to protect her, but is he telling her the truth or leading her astray. Idk we'll just have to wait and see in the next.

Maggie absolutely hit it out of the park with her first solo book!
The FMC, Diana, has a hit put on her by Satan himself. The assassins tasked with doing it? Well one of them consists of an incubus who has already been stalking her and entering her dreams for a while. Then you have another demon, a Greek god, and a hell hound. The men are possessive and obsessed, though not all of them are happy about Diana being saved instead of unalived. Secrets pile up as the story goes on and betrayal hits hard.
Maggie gives us a real good plot that isn’t sacrificed by adding a good bit of heat and passion. You’ll absolutely get frustrated, but also fall in love with… almost everyone. There are several laughs in the book so it isn’t all completely serious, and the FMC can be really relatable with some of the dialogue in her head. I will warn, it ends on a hell of a cliffhanger. I am really excited for the second book of this series.

5 deliciously dark and romantic stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Maggie once again knocked it out of the damn park with this book and I need more of this crazy crew immediately!!
First off, I feel like we all need to thank the gods for a plus-sized heroine with curly hair who would 100% kick all our asses. Diana is a fantastic FMC. She’s a badass, sassy, and confident as fuck.
As for the men, I can’t decide who I love more. Bash is a possessive little British dish and I can’t stop imagining him as Tom Ellis which definitely helps his character. Desmond is both sweet and a massive alphahole that I can’t decide whether I want to slap or cuddle. And Ares, ohh Ares. That son of a bitch is one crazy motherf*cker and I’m so here for it. He’s batshit and I love it!! I’m reserving judgement on Mal for now. I feel bad for him but he’s also caused some major issues for the crew. Plus there’s Azazel whom I’m sure will play a big role next book.
The mystery of who Satan really is, and his eventual reveal, was so freaking good! He makes a fantastic villain and I really didn’t see his true identity coming.
I’m also still salty over that ending. Maggie Bonnet is an evil mastermind and I’m 100% making a voodoo doll of her. This book was so so epic and delicious but that cliffhanger can get in the trash
