Unspoken (Hey Pretty Prequel): A Sal Raniero Thriller by Kailee Reese Samuels

5.0

Woah!
Unspoken is everything I look for in a book. It’s dark, twisted, hot and intense. It’s not a light hearted read, that’s for sure! The story started off strong and continued to keep my attention, captivating me with each page I turned.

It’s taboo, with an extreme level of violence. I was so torn up about Red. He’s a disgusting human being, the worst. A rapist and a very screwed up man, but something about him had me my feelings and judgement of him all mixed up and confused and honestly that’s what I liked most about him. The angst and the “is this wrong to feel sorry for this man” feelings had my head completely messed up! His past isn’t all sunshine and flowers, his upbringing was hell and I guess part of me felt sorry for him for some screwed up reasons but the abusive he inflict on women made me angry, made me sick so I was so torn up about how I should be feeling.
Sal? Well he’s probably just as screwed up, it didn’t seem to worry him all that much on what was actually happening to his sister and he didn’t seem bothered on what Red was doing, but with that being said, he played the hero, which again.. screwed with my head a little. To me it was just a mask to hide who he truly was..

This sorry is not for the faint of heart. But I recommend giving it a try. I wasn’t sure about it at first but the deeper I go into the story the more captivated I was and the more I needed answers to all the crazy stuff going on in this book.

Extremely well written which I didn’t doubt for a second that it wouldn’t be.

Five stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
I will most certainly be re-reading this in the near future!
Saved By His Submissive by Angel Payne

This is my second time around with this book and just like the first time I read it which was a couple of years ago, it’s as good as I can remember, if not better!

Anyone who knows me, knows I’m obsessed with all things Alpha male. Can’t get enough of them and this book delivers an incredible military plot that will keep you captivated all the way through. It’s full of angst, thrill and complete and utter intensity and suspense! what I loved most about this read is that it’s not full of sex scenes, it’s extremely hot and heavy and there was a couple of heavy BDSM scenes. But It’s got a deeper plot. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for kinky sex. ALL FOR IT! But I often find myself straying away from a book if it’s overloaded with sex. Saved has substance, a plot that’ll break your heart into a million pieces but slowly it’ll put it back together piece by piece.

Garett.. My heart honestly break so many times for this man. He continuously struggled with his dark desires, his craving for a darker side of pleasure. His main focus and devotion was to the Special Forces Unit but after his fiancé Sage, gets kidnapped and killed. He stops caring about life, it didn’t bother him if he was killed or not. He’s riddled with guilt, feeling as though he’s to blame that he couldn’t protect his fiancé.

After a year of devastation and going through his life like he was on auto pilot, having to live his life without the love of his life, he goes out on a search and rescue, only to find Sage as one of the people he was sent to rescue, he had no idea and had presumed she was dead.

Once home, safe and secure, you’d think it would be a happily ever after. Oh no. They find themselves struggling, demons that were a result of the past year Sage had been held captive. Garrett is still struggling with the fact his fiancé is in fact alive, after living a year of devastation and heart break..

Sage is struggling with everything that happened while she was held against her will. The things that she seen, the things that had been done to her and things that she will not ever be able to erase from her memory. Garrett’s darker desires are growing and he fears if he’s honest and opens up to Sage about them that she’ll leave him, that she could not possibly love him and the last thing he wants to do is even let there be a chance he could lose her all over again. He will spend his life protecting her life at any cost. But will he open up to her? Tell her his desires? Is Sage and her love for Garrett strong enough? Is she capable of submitting to him and letting him dominate her?

This love story holds special meaning to me in so many ways, so even after reading it a second time I found myself a blubbering mess almost the whole way through it. It’s a beautiful love story, but I warn you now it will pull you so deeply in and twist you up inside before you start to feel that relief. It’s such a roller coaster of emotions and will keep you on the edge of your seat. It’s an amazing start to what promises and delivers an amazing series.

Ms. Payne is a genius with her words. She knows how to pull you in so deep and hold you there through and emotional love story. It’s extremely well written and so easily pictured as you read it. Her character to detail is phenomenal. I’m completely smitten with Garett. And Sage and Garrett’s love story is one of my favourites.
You beat your ass I will re-read this for a third time in the near future. MUST READ!!

Yet again, Angel delivers a phenomenal story full of passion, hot erotic scenes, drama, action, and all things in between. Within a couple of pages of this book I was hooked!

Jenny, a sassy nerd who works at Nellis Air Force Base as a tech geek is closed off from men, She’s a woman who refuses to wear her heart on her sleeve and has a guarded wall behind her heart and emotions at all times. She refuses to let her guard down with any of the men she works with and has worked with in the past. But suddenly that’s all about to change when Sam MacKenna, a sexy as hell Scottish RAF pilot comes waltzing into her office.

Sam - A dominant sexy as hell Scottish Pilot who turns up at the base for some training for a month comes into Jenny’s life and turns it upside down. Almost immediately the attraction between the two of them was known, intense and almost on fire. Sam falls for Jenny hard and fast and could see the way she guarded herself and her heart, but it didn’t stop him. He could see she was hiding some dark desires and he wanted nothing more than to make those a reality. His mission was to break down those walls she’s so carefully held up strong for so long.

Jen struggles to believe that this drop dead gorgeous man wanted to fulfil her cravings, her dark desires and wanted her in all the ways she only dreamed about and brick by brick he slowly begun to break down her wall.
Jen knows Sam is only going to be around for a short time but she can’t help the way she’s feeling, what her heart, body and soul are craving from this man, she knew he would leave her broken after his time at the base so she continues to fight her own feelings and desires to keep the wall up, what she didn’t realise was Sam was determined to knock those walls down just for himself.
Will he leave her in pieces by the end? Will she let him break down this guard that’s been up and protecting her heart, her secrets and her darkest desires for so long??

This plot... was HOT as hell, it had me squirming in my seat, frantically turning page after page to see where this story was going to take these two characters. Angel doesn’t shy away from a darker side of passion, sex and all this lustful. No, she heightens it, gets your heart pounding and pulls you deep into a plot that’ll have you captured and captivated right to the end.
I’m not a massive fan of novellas, I usually read series of books, but I loved this novella so much, in fact this whole collection of books to this series is incredible! Ms. Payne once again did not disappoint!

Most definitely 5 Star read and I highly recommend giving this collection of books a read!

Woah... well damn..

Although these instalment may be short, they sure as hell do not lack anything! Once again, Helen hits a home run with instalment six and completely throws me through a whirlwind of emotions. It only took me a few hours to devour this bad boy, once I’d started this instalment I couldn’t seem to put down.

Instalment six picks up where actually five ends, with Erin slowly but surely coming to terms the fact that Dante is a vampire. She struggles with what is real and what isn’t. She questions everything and everyone around her. She can’t put together why people are going missing from the hospital she works at.

Dante is left to come to grip that his dad is in fact dead, that his uncle is now missing and most likely being held captive somewhere and he’s still trying to figure out what this whole blood bond between him and Erin truly is, and the way they both feel about each other.

So much going on in such a short instalment, it’s awesome! Helen pulls off yet another amazing instalment with extremely crazy mystery, thrill and drama, and a whole lot of hot sex and passion! It’s absolutely delicious and I cannot get enough! I know I’ve probably said it before but this instalment is probably the most intense one to this saga so far! And that ending? HELEN, I NEED PART SEVEN please!

All in all, as short as this was, it was incredible, hot, fast paced, heart pounding, and absolutely addictive! Definitely 5 Stars!

Thank you Helen for giving my love for PNR back and totally blowing me away with this series.

Wow... I was kind of speechless and anyone who knows me, knows that does not happen often.

These may be small instalments but they most certainly do not lack the “wow” factor. Once again, Helen delivers an incredible, hot and intense instalment.

In Instalment 7 more and more truths and secrets are being revealed, Dante and Erin’s connection continues to deepen but things are still testing their strength at every turn.

Erin finds out some hard truths about her family and their history which she can’t seem to grasp. She finds out that Dante had been hiding some pretty major information from her and it tests their relationship. She finds the missing resident from the hospital and also finds out her best friend Lucy has been hiding her true self and what she is from her. Erin is finally starting to come to turns with Dante being a vampire and accepting it, yet she still struggles, especially with all this new information she’s finding out and she can feel a change in Dante beginning to happen and it’s putting her on edge, unsure where the future is leading them both.

Dante and River go in search for Julian’s body, and nothing is stopping them from finding it. He’s having more flashbacks to when he was held captive, they seem much more vivid too which in a way is helping him but also brings back a lot of torment and pain he’d much rather forget.

This Queen is still invading Dante’s mind, and it seems as though she’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

Wow, I have no idea how Helen does it, but yet again she’s kept me on the edge of my seat, my jaw to the floor and my heart pounding almost out of my chest. This saga is coming together amazingly and it just proves to me that Helen can write just about anything from Country boys to mysteriously hot, emotional vampires and it will be incredible. The lady is the queen of all things romance, and I just can’t get enough. This series has taken off like a storm and quickly captured my heart in all the right ways. I’m so captivated by this love story and everything that’s coming along with it. After the last instalment, I honestly didn’t think this could get any better, anymore intense and any more delicious. But who am I kidding? It’s a Helen Hardt romance and I have no doubt in my mind that she’s going to have me on my toes, second guessing everything I think I’ve figured out, biting my nails anxiously to see what’s going to happen next, right till the end. It’s what she does best and I absolutely love it!

It’s most definitely a 5 Star rating from me!
I highly recommend this series but be sure to read it from the start, otherwise you’ll be all kinds of confused!

Blood Bond: 8 by Helen Hardt

Wow, you’d think I’d be use to this, the way Helen captivates your mind completely with a story so intense, hot and full force. Yet, I sit here completely gobsmacked, my mind reeling with all kinds of questions and theories.

In instalment 8 Dante continues to strengthen as a vampire. His strength, skills and him in general heighten. He’s doing everything in his power to claim his father’s Estate.

Erin is being hunted by a bunch of vampires that are determined and stopping at nothing to hunt her down. Dante is determined to keep her safe at any cost. She’s struggling not only with her life in danger but now her best friend has gone missing and all the people going missing at the hospital she works in. She’s at breaking point and she’s having dreams that seem all too real, that are showing her future, and it’s most certainly not the future she wants.

With all that’s happening, the love and bond between Dante and Erin remains strong, if anything if strengthens it. The intimacy, the heat and sex only continues to increase between the both of them.

Gah! And that ending?! Holy crap! I can feel the story coming to a head and that we will finally start to get some answers for all these questions that are slowly but surely sending us all insane. Helen does what she does best, she keeps us on the edge of our seats, holding our breath, and clenching our eReaders with each page we frantically turn in order to find some answers and find out what happens next. And the sex scenes and intimacy just keep continuing to get hotter, steamier, and dirtier as we get deeper into the story. It’s absolutely delicious!!


Yet again, she’s hit another instalment right out the park and leaves me reeling for more! She’s truly a genius with words! Cannot wait for instalment 9!

Most definitely 5 Stars!

Woah... I’m sitting here, jaw to the floor, heart just about ready to pound out of my chest and my mind is reeling with questions and trying to come up with answers.

Yet again, Meredith sucks me in hard and keeps me on the edge of my seat from start to finish with this instalment. The woman can do no wrong, she’s absolutely flawless at writing and this new venture is nothing less than perfect either!

In instalment six, Isobel and Tristan find themselves in Miami, still running from the people who want nothing more than to see them dead. Their enemies seem to be popping up almost everywhere! But in 6, Tristan asks for help from one of his only friend. But can he trusted? there’s so much going on in this instalment, so many twists and turns, so much unexpected that it keeps your mind reeling for answers, but with all that’s happening, the romance between Isobel and Tristan never dulls, the passion and heat remains all the way through the book.

They work together and try and plan to take down who and what is stopping them from having a normal life, but nothing seems to be going according to plan. Isobel is hiding a massive secret from Tristan and when the truth finally comes out, Tristan is struggling to keep himself together, to keep all his attention on keeping them safe and trying to take down everything and everyone that is putting their lives in danger.

This instalment was INTENSE to say the least, I’m still sitting here trying to piece together all that’s happening, I had so many questions after the last instalment and they’ve just doubled after reading this.

I’ve said it a couple of times before but I was a little unsure when hearing Meredith was going to be doing a suspense romance but she’s completely exceeded my expectations and continues to blow my mind and throw me through a tunnel of emotions. Ms. Wild can write about anything and you know it’s going to be fantastic, and this series proves that. She’s an absolute legend and when I heard the story was going to continue, I screamed like a child at Christmas. I was dreading the end, I don’t want it to end and now the story will continue on.

Cannot wait instalment 7, I’m not a massive fan of this waiting game but with each instalment Meredith delivers a compelling story and makes the wait so much more worth it.

If I could rate this higher than 5 stars, it would be a 100!

Wow... this book has it all. Heat, suspense, action, passion and all things in between.

Angel Payne has never been one to shy away from the darker side of romances and this was no exception. I found myself captivated by this plot! I first fell in love with Zeke and Rayna in Saved (book 1 of the honor bound series) and I’m so thrilled Angel created a deeper story line for them.

This tale is full of hot and steamy bdsm kink scenes, suspense, a darker side to romance. A man known for his bravery and a woman struggling with a traumatic past. Zeke and Rayna are forced to be reckoned with. As the story progresses, the love between them thickens. It was obvious from the beginning that these two would be explosive as hell and it would be one hell of a story. It had my emotions all over the place. My heart broke in a million pieces with what Rayna went through, but to see her grow from it, and Zeke helping that happen and opening her up to a world that she’d only fantasised about was so addictive, so captivating and I couldn’t put the book down! And, wow... this story was so damn hot! Be prepared for a hot as hell, emotional and bumpy ride!

Five stars from me!
