Claiming Mrs. Claus: A Dark Christmas Erotica by Emily Klepp

challenging dark funny hopeful lighthearted tense fast-paced

5.0

Demon Santa? Sign me the fuk up! Emma can't stand X-Mas just as much as me, so I was in it till the end. Having to conquer 25 tests (smex ones) in 25 wicked days just to find out if you are a mate, OMG yes. Everett, our sexy @ss Santa, is in a completely different universe all together, but Emma continues and he fights for her even though other chicks really want him. Did I mention this was an instant connection that screams just do it already? Emily Klepp is one of my favorite authors and I have never been disappointed. This is a fantastic Holiday read. 

Crowned in Blood: A Dark Mafia, Age Gap, Stalker Romance by Melissa Cummins

dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

4.0

One of my top mafia romance books now. I really did like this book and the storyline. I liked the characters as well, watching Catalina’s character develop was great. Marco was, well he was Marco, just enough obsession you want in your MMC. If you like mafia and you like your men to do anything (such as unalive others) for you, then pick this up. If you like your FMC tough, baddie material then pick this up. Melissa Cummins doesn’t disappoint. 

Too Far Gone by Dani Rose

dark emotional sad tense fast-paced

4.5

 Short? Yes, it’s a novella after all. Do I want more? Of course I do, because it was that good. The spice was spicing and the taboo was awesome. I was engaged from the start and didn't stop until the finish, which took my breath away. I was like WOW WTF. If triggers in taboo are not your thing, then don't even attempt to pick this up, however; if you are anything like me and triggers don't even phase you then pick it up ASAP and dive the fuk right in! The characters rocked and as short as this was, the storyline was great. Ms. “Dani Rose” YES, write more. I have no doubt that the interest will be great here. So please please write. I will read them all! 

When The Steps Run Red by Izzy Ravas

dark mysterious tense fast-paced

5.0

I absolutely love an Izzy Ravas book. The amount of graphic triggers for me are what draw me into her writing, this book is no exception. This is dark, but it's not a romance, it is high on that trig list for so many readers, so please check before diving in. The only downside to this one is that it is so short, damn I wish it was longer, But that's what we get with a novella. These characters, storyline and everything unexpected were amazing. A great 4.5/ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ to add to my trophy shelf. 

Frozen Obsession by Luna K. Wicked

dark emotional hopeful lighthearted sad tense medium-paced

5.0

I was hooked from the beginning and could not put this down. Xena & Roman were phenomenal. OMG I need more of them. Roman would catch the world on fire for her and was so completely unhinged when it came to her. This book is a show stopper and I was here for every page of it. Luna Wicked and her writing style will get you every time and this is no exception. For sure this book is a 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ read, 10 if I could give it, and I will be placing this on my trophy shelf for sure. 

Like A Moth To A Flame: A Dark, Stalker Romance by Lillith Abendroth

dark emotional lighthearted mysterious sad tense fast-paced

5.0

This is my first taste of Lillith Abendroth’s books and I am not disappointed. This book gives Haunting Adeline vices all over again. Nessa the sassy FMC has to move back to her hometown due to the loss of her father and everything seems to be going pretty well until she feels she is being watched. The twist in this one really gets you and I was breathless halfway to the end with every page I read. I am so happy to have read this book. The characters were amazing (hello Tommy), the storyline was something that definitely draws you in, not missing a single word. For sure I will be looking forward to reading more from Ms. Abendroth in the future. 

Slaying for Sloan by Melissa McSherry, Dana LeeAnn

dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced

5.0

Trigger happy doesn't even cover how obsessed I am with this Novella. The characters, the storyline, and the insanity were chefs kiss. I can not get enough of Asher, he is positively psychopathic, unhinged, obsessed and yummy! Sloan is everything I needed in a bad@ss FMC. Melissa McSherry & Dana Leeann did it again and I will forever be picking up their books. One problem with this one is that I wanted more NOW. The cliffhanger just killed me even more knowing I have to wait for answers and what's next. 

Meet me on the mountainside by Katie Perez

fast-paced

4.0

This Is a very cute holiday novella, not my typical dark read at all, but this one was great to read. Logan, the good guy, helps out our beautiful Alyssa by being in a fake relationship so she can feel better after running into the ex and his new girlfriend. Things then start heating up from there and the spice really spices. Cute, smexy, wholesome, contemporary, and refreshing all describe this little slice of heaven. Pick it up because Katie Perez really did it with this one, you won't be disappointed. 

Such a Naughty Girl by Effie Campbell

dark funny lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

4.0

Christmas story time for the WIN. If you like age-gaps and have “Daddy” desires then this is the short break you need. The characters were great and the storyline was sweet. The spice was spicing with our dominant lumberjack and this ability to get what he wants, and our adorable Izzy is just the one to give it! I would read this again next year for that short holiday hiatus. Effie Campbell did us all proud with this sugar and spice novella. 

The Bratva's Bounty by Rose Chase

adventurous dark emotional funny lighthearted tense fast-paced

4.0

Nicole, Oh how much we have in common and not only the name! Nicole here is our bad@ss FMC who is completely unhinged. Lev so needed this book and Nicole. I was happy to see him fall for Nicole, he was so very cute with his reactions also. Nicole seems to be the only person to dominate our Lev because he is a dominant person, but Nicole sure does things to him like no other. I loved this storyline, the characters, and the twisted fun this book gives. Rose Chase has done it again and I am so glad to be here for it all.
