4.0
Sold to the Highest Bidder by Aleatha Romig & Skye Warren
4 Stars
A short but dark and dangerous tale of the heroine being conned by her soon-to-be ex-fiance. She is soon sold to the hero, a man who has been in love with her for a very long time. What was once considered a foolishly choice on her part, soon becomes the pathway to a very happy future.
Stalker by A. Jade & A. Zavarelli
3.5 Stars
I am a die hard Zavarelli fan so I already knew I would adore this dark romance! It tells the tale of a stalker who moves in next door to his high school crush. While I did like this one, I wish it were longer and went into more depth! I find short stories can often be too short to get the whole story (the reason I don't read novellas very often), and I think if it had been a little longer, I would have rated this 4 stars. The story itself was good, I just wanted more.
Poisoned Hearts - Giana Darling and Parker S Huntington
3.5 stars
A short taste of a mafia tale. Two warring families, a virginity pact, and a wedding to be stopped. This dark romance had a lot of flirty, seductive moments between the hero and heroine, and a twist ending leaving you wanting more.
Dirty Bargain - Lylah James & Cora Reilly
4.5 stars
I haven't read James' before but I'm a huge fan of Reilly's BIB and CC mafia series so I was excited to read about Talia. This is a wonderful taste of the dark mafia world and provides lots of intrigue, suspense and heat! Will definitely be checking of James' work in the future.
Mr Foster - K Webster & Sam Mariano
3 stars
Not a Dirty Little Secret - Giana Darling & Sierra Simone
3 stars
Her Christmas Present - Jade West & Lucia Franco
2.5 stars
Forbidden Flaws - Pepper Winters
3.5 stars
An intriguing and steamy short story about a heroine who gets locked outside of her hotel room, in her underwear, during a fire alarm. Hero is a mysterious athlete. Very dark and seductive, as per Winters' usual style, and I want to find out what happens next!
With This Ring - Natasha Knight
4.5 stars
An incredible teaser for Knight's latest mafia romance duet. Very intriguing, entertaining and steamy! I'm looking forward to reading this one (in full) soon but I know it's going to end in the mother of cliffhangers so I'm holding off for a couple of weeks until I can get my hands on both books in the duet!
Tyrant Stalker - Isabella Starling
4 stars
Very intriguing premise of a physically scarred heroine being stalked by the hero. This is just a teaser, and I'm very intrigued to see how Starling is going to develop the relationship between the heroine and hero.
