🔥 “Sing for me, Songbird.”
~~~
Bishop Chambers is a man with a very particular set of skills. He’s resourceful, powerful, dangerous, secretive and very, very bossy. Even more, Bishop is a no-nonsense kind of guy and always has a plan. He’s not a man who openly shows emotions and because of that some might think he’s cold and unfeeling. But Bishop is absolutely incredible - loyal, caring, considerate, observant and fiercely protective. Even more, I absolutely adored his dominance and unique kind of humor and charms. Bishop is a remarkable man and I couldn’t help but adore every single thing about him!

And Eden is an amazing woman! He’s strong and incredibly resilient. Despite everything she’s been through, she’s not a woman who backs down from challenges and is always ready to face any hardships thrown her way and prevail. Even more, Eden is so fierce, kind and caring. She’s a really wonderful woman and I loved her so, so much!

I absolutely adored everything that happened between Eden and Bishop! Eden is doing everything she can to escape her abusive ex-boyfriend, who also happens to be a cop. She needs to disappear and her search for freedom leads her to Bishop. And he comes with quite the offer. I loved those two together! I loved the tension and their banters and teasings were so much fun to read. They might have started as a contract, a marriage of convenience, but soon things became so much more. Even more, the spice was definitely spicing with those two and I couldn’t get enough of the passionate moments they shared. Oh, when one of the Chambers brothers loves, he loves hard and will take care of what’s his by any means necessary… Eden and Bishop were just so perfect for each other and more than deserved to find happiness and love together.

Overall, the story is another fantastic addition to the series! If you love romantic suspense, non-stop action, danger, twists, “touch her and die” vibes, humor, spice and awesome characters, Bishop is the story for you!

I couldn’t put it down and absolutely loved every page of it!

🔥 “You’re everything. Every dream I never let myself have, everything I could ever want.”

Nina is incredible! She’s bold, sassy and fierce. She’s also a kind, understanding woman who always takes care of others. Even more, she’s incredibly courageous and resilient, determined to overcome all the hardships thrown her way. She doesn’t give up even when she’s afraid. And, as a witch, she’s an absolute badass! Nina is a remarkable woman and I adored everything about her!

And then, there’s Darius - one absolutely spectacular male! The scarred and tattooed orc is huge, strong, resourceful, fiercely protective and loyal. Even more, he’s observant, caring and incredibly thoughtful. And I absolutely loved his delicious possessiveness and dominance! Darius is a remarkable male and I couldn’t help but adore every single thing about him!

I absolutely loved everything that happened between Nina and Darius! Being Nina’s bodyguard and with a dark past like his, Darius has been trying very hard to resist the growing attraction he felt for the feisty young woman. And Nina was not indifferent to him, either. Then she was taken… and Darius did everything in his power to get her back. And now that he has her, he would not let anything or anyone hurt her ever again. But, now, there’s more to Nina than anyone expects. I absolutely adored those two together! I loved their chemistry and their banters were an absolute delight to read. Even more, I loved how caring, understanding and supportive both were of each other. And the tension!!! Ohh, the tension with those two! And when they couldn’t resist the undeniable need for one another anymore, the passionate moments they shared were off-the-charts hot and I couldn’t get enough of all the naughty delight! Nina and Darius were just so perfect for each other and, after everything both went through, they more than deserved to find happiness and love together. Ohhh, the ending made me tear up in such a good way!

In addition, the storyline was phenomenal! I was hooked from the first page and with everything happening - the dangerous missions, the daring heists and the unexpected discoveries and turns of events - I was glued to the pages till the very end, excited to see how everything will be resolved.

Overall, the story is another remarkable addition to the series! It’s filled with non-stop action, danger, suspense, twists, mysteries, magical artifacts, drama, betrayals, blazing hot passion and spectacular characters.

I couldn’t put it down and absolutely loved every single page of it!

🔥 “When I woo you, you’ll know it. When I kiss you, you’ll want it. And when we fully mated, you’ll crave it.”

Kaila is absolutely amazing! Since the age of twelve, she’s been caring for her little brother and doing her best to make ends meet. Kaila is fierce, determined, resilient, hardworking and bold. Even more, she’s so caring and protective. She’s a woman who doesn’t back down from challenges and is ready to face any hardship thrown her way. Kaila is an incredible woman and I loved her so, so much!

Turren is the leader of the Ember Orc Clan. He’s huge, strong, fiercely protective and always ready to do the best for his people. Even more, he’s incredibly patient, considerate, honorable, kind and, even though a male of few words, he always manages to say things that will melt your heart. His life hasn’t been easy, but Turren is one absolutely magnificent and irresistible male and I couldn’t help but adore every single thing about him!

I absolutely loved everything that happened between Kaila and Turren! The night of the Mate Hunt, Kaila and her brother flee their village, determined to find security and a new future in the women’s settlement. But things don’t go according to plan when they encounter a huge green orc in the forest. I absolutely adored Kaila and Turren together! From the moment they met, the fierce orc was smitten with the grumpy and fierce woman who also happened to be his fated mate. But she was not giving in easily. Nevertheless, Turren is a patient and honorable male and I adored his determination to win Kaila’s heart, even when she was stubborn and surly. Their chemistry was absolutely fantastic right from the start. And I really loved their banters, teasing and the tension. Kaila really did her best to resist Turren’s charms, but the more time she and her brother spent in his company, the more she saw the wonderful male he truly is. And when they couldn’t keep their hands off each other, the passionate moments were so, so hot! Oh, to be mated to these absolutely amazing orcs… Kaila and Turren were so perfect for each other and more than deserved to find happiness and love together. But will their love be strong enough for the hard choices that will need to be made or the secrets that will need to be shared? Well, you’ll have to read the story to find out.

Overall, Orc’s Taming is another absolutely fantastic addition to the series! It’s filled with adventure, danger, action, humor, drama, smoking hot passion and wonderful characters.

I loved it!

Sophia is so great! Growing up in a crime family, her life hasn’t been easy. But she’s doing her best to live her life separately and is doing pretty good as a graphic designer. And, unfortunately, she’s suffering from a violent sleep disorder. Sophia is such a nice, kind and caring person. Even more, although she’s introverted and shy, there’s also so much courage and strength in her. Sophia is a really wonderful woman and I loved her so, so much!

Cillian O'Rourke is the enforcer on another of the city’s crime families. He’s one intense, dark and mysterious male with an even darker history. Even more, he’s a brutal, dangerous and deadly man, a cold-blooded killer. But there’s another side of Cillian, too. He might appear soulless and without any feelings, but this man takes care of what’s his and will do everything for the people he feels close to. He’s also quite possessive, obsessive and dominant. And that deliciously filthy mouth of his! Cillian is one absolutely irresistible man and I couldn’t help but adore every single thing about him!

I absolutely loved everything between Sophia and Cillian! For a year, the O'Rourke enforcer has been obsessed with Sophia, each night breaking into her apartment, watching her sleep and, unbeknownst to her, helping her deal with her sleep problems. And Cillian is a man with a plan - not only to make the young woman his, but also to take over the O’Rourke empire. I adored those two! Their chemistry was off-the-charts right from the start! And the tension! The banters! The deliciously kinky moments! Ohh, the spice was absolutely SPICING with those two! Even more, I adored Cillian for giving Sophia everything she’s been missing in her life - support, safety, praise, even love (in his own way). And the more time Sophia spent in his company, the more she couldn’t resist Cillian’s dark pull. Yes, trust was tested, dealing with emotions was difficult and sometimes confusing, but when both sides are willing, things work out just fine in the end. Sophia and Cillian were absolutely perfect for each other and more than deserved to find happiness and love together.

Overall, While You Sleep is an intense, dark(ish) and very, very naughty story. If you love mafia romance, lots of spice, arranged marriage, age gap, suspense, twists, enemies to lovers, praise kink, somnophilia, “touch her and die” and fantastic characters, this is the story for you.

I couldn’t put it down and absolutely loved every page of it!

🔥 “You don’t belong to god anymore, Selah. After this, after today, you are mine. You belong to me.”
~~~
Selah’s life hasn’t been easy. As the Holy Daughter of the Lady of Sorrows church, she’s been groomed to be a nameless woman, a vessel of purity and virtue. At first, Selah appears shy, quiet, obedient and timid. But there’s a fire in her that just waits to be stroked. Even more, I loved her defiance, courage and curiosity. Selah is an absolutely incredible woman and I adored her so, so much!

And then, there’s Father Dante Amorth - a man shrouded in darkness and mystery. The legendary Exorcist of Grimm is so depraved, dominant, deadly, disturbed, over the top possessive and obsessive. And that filthy, filthy mouth of his! But Father Amorth is also fiercely protective and a man, who will do everything for the people he cares about. Dante is one intense and absolutely irresistible man and I couldn’t help but adore every single thing about him!

I absolutely loved everything that happened between Selah and Dante! When Selah gets caught doing things she’s not supposed to, she’s sent to Father Amorth to be purified and rid of sin. I absolutely adored those two! I loved the tension so much and every moment they fought to resist their desires. I absolutely adored Dante for being the first man to see Selah for who she is - a worthy and whole woman who should not be ashamed of who she is or her desires, a woman with a name. Even more, I loved that both accepted each other exactly as they were. And when they couldn’t resist the undeniable need for one another, the passionate moments they shared were blazing hot and I couldn’t get enough of all the unholy and depraved delight. Selah and Dante were truly meant for each other! Furthermore, what I loved most about this story was Selah’s development. Witnessing her grow from a timid, shy and quiet young girl to a powerful, strong, bold woman was absolutely incredible. Female rage is a powerful thing and when it’s unleashed… walls will bleed!

In addition, the storyline and worldbuilding were phenomenal! I loved the gothic vibes of Grimm and the mysteries surrounding it. I loved the dark forests and the unholy rituals taking place in them. I also loved everyone in Grimm - the nuns, the priests, the students, even the monsters. And with everything happening, I was glued to the pages till the very end. Also… baby goats, but… extra!

Overall, Selah Gothic is an intense, dark, suspenseful and sinful story and I absolutely loved every page of it!

Jovie’s life hasn’t been easy. And, despite everything she’s been through, she’s one strong, resilient, fierce and courageous woman. Jovie is a survivor and doesn’t hesitate to face any challenges thrown her way. She’s really amazing and I really liked her!

And then, we have Aether. He’s dark, dangerous, lethal, violent, obsessive and so deliciously primal and possessive. He’s a male who will stop at nothing to get what he wants and someone who will destroy the world for the people he cares about. The shadow daddy is quite the intense and irresistible male and I loved everything about him.

I loved everything that happened between Jovie and Aether! Losing her mother at a young age, all the family Jovie has left is her twin sister. And the two of them they’re getting through life together. But there’s also a dark entity, a shadow, that has been following her for years and lurking in the corner of her eye. Ohhh, how I loved all the tension and the mystery! Aether has such nefarious plans for the young human and nothing will stop him from having her. And he’s such a wickedly naughty male. The spice was definitely spicing with those two and I couldn’t get enough! Jovie and Aether were so perfect for each other and deserved to find love together.

Overall, A Monster In The Dark is a dark(ish), intense, suspenseful and wonderfully naughty story and I loved every page of it!

Georgia is an outcast in her pack. She’s sweet and kind. And she’s also resilient and determined. Even more, I really enjoyed her possessiveness and fierce protectiveness. Georgia is so, so wonderful and I really liked her!

And Lance is a really great guy! He’s caring, kind and nice. And he’s also very understanding, supportive and open-minded when it comes to facing the unknown. Lance is a wonderful man and I liked him very much!

I loved everything that happened between Georgia and Lance! With her planet on the brink of destruction, Georgia and her people are sent to various planets in search of a future. And she and her crew end up on Earth, where she finds the courage to leave her pack and seek her luck with a bunch of really great aliens. And when they end up in Mexico, Georgia stumbles upon the man meant for her. I loved Georgia and Lance together! They were absolutely wonderful and cute. And from the moment they met, their chemistry was fantastic and the passionate moments they shared were so hot. Georgia is a female who knows what she wants and doesn’t hesitate to go after it. And that thing is Lance. Those two were so perfect for each other and deserved to find happiness and love together.

Overall, the story is a great start of the series. It’s a quick and fun read and I enjoyed every page of it.

P.S. I’m really curious what will happen with Georgia’s friends, too.
