4.0

I read two of these stories:

Fairest by K.M. McKenna

This is an erotic story that is fast paced that shows what happens when you give into your dark desires. The Alpha King with his pleasure cabinet was an unexpected surprise and the bondage with dark magic in the bedroom scene is sizzling. This novella gives you a tantalizing glimpse into the beginning of the story and ends on a cliffhanger.

Ella and the Alien Prince by Margo Bond Collins

This is an insta-love alien romance with interesting characters. Khai’s rebellion against wearing a tux and his abhorrence of formal earth gatherings is very relatable. Their chemistry is on fire when Khai sweeps Ella off her feet for their first kiss and Ella makes Khai work for his prize. After Khai & Grav gives Ella & Lauren a tour of their space ship, Ella gets her world rocked by Khai in his pleasure chamber. I can’t wait to read Lauren and Grav’s story. This ends in a HEA for now for Ella & Khai and you can read more as the series continues.

I received an ARC of this book via Book Sprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
