Despite having befriended two savage wolves, Ezra Fowler and Blade Vanderwood, the town is crawling with supernatural creatures who’d love nothing more than to taste Lilith.
Dreary Shadows Part II takes a number of unexpected twists and turns. I loved the details we learn about Lilith’s witchy lineage and the history of the various supernatural creatures. Each member of the harem is unique and I enjoy their perspectives, not to mention the introduction of Zeus and the certifiable Gunnar.
I was expecting another brutal cliffy, but it’s not. That said, I am still on the edge of my seat waiting to see how Lil’s story is going to come together.

When a heckler catches goalie, Walker Davis’, attention during a game, he’s immediately transfixed by her beauty. With a complicated life, Olivia JoneWhen a heckler catches goalie, Walker Davis’, attention during a game, he’s immediately transfixed by her beauty. With a complicated life, Olivia Jones, can only offer a one-night-stand. She’ll soon learn that Disney will stop at nothing to be her knight in shining armor.
Disney epitomizes two descriptors I would have likely never put together before this series: unhinged and romantic. His behavior coalesces into the most unexpectedly perfect COCKtail of next-level filthy, sweet, and pșyçhotìç.
I think it’s safe to say we’ve all been anxiously awaiting Disney’s story and he. did. not. disappoint.
Adopted at age eight, Malachi only feels comfortable with his foster sister, Olivia Vize, and quickly becomes obsessed.
When his place in her life is tAdopted at age eight, Malachi only feels comfortable with his foster sister, Olivia Vize, and quickly becomes obsessed.
When his place in her life is threatened, he reacts accordingly. But ever dutiful, when Olivia is forced to choose, Malachi will bide his time for their reunion.
Why is the dark romance community not losing their collective minds over this one? Leigh Rivers literally Frankensteined the perfect OTT J/P morally black alphahole. Then took our kînk wishlist and tada-ed TF out of it. I don’t re-read, ever. But if I did, I’d start with this one.

When an overzealous reporter for the Hazelwood Herald, Quinn Sorvani, gets too close to the truth, Dom and Malakhi must act fast.
This quick and dirty read will feed your dark and depraved side. But don’t worry, there’s just enough storyline to quell any guilt for devouring this kïnky quickie!

Caught up in a fight she doesn’t understand, Fawn is seeing a side of life she had spent years sheltered from.
I’m enjoying the suspense around the mystery man. However, with the similar names and personalities, I had a bit of trouble keeping the guys separated in my mind. I’m anxious to see the relationship with Fawn evolve and how she adjusts to life outside the church.

For the love of all that is holy. More than two weeks later and I’m still reeling. I don’t even know how to feel. Leigh packed more what the fçųkş in For the love of all that is holy. More than two weeks later and I’m still reeling. I don’t even know how to feel. Leigh packed more what the fçųkş in one book than I would’ve thought possible. It’s so good. Seriously. So. Good.
If you’ve been around for a while, you know my reviews always start with a brief overview, the broad strokes, if you will. I literally can’t do that here. I’m fearful that anything I say will be too much. And unless you have triggers, I highly recommend going in blind. This book is going to put you through the paces, but you really want that WTAF factor when the curveballs start flying.
So my summary is this: Insatiable is brilliant and heartbreaking and steamy and mindfuckingblowing.
Yes, the fancy stars are unique to this review because it deserves 50 billion stars, but my self-imposed scale only goes to five. Hence, fancy stars. ...more

Despite a career as a successful influencer with a loyal following for her webcast, Witchful Drinking, she won’t allow herself to accept happiness with Kansas.
So, yeah… I really wasn’t sure what to expect going in with the 90s horror vibe meets cult. But the teasers and graphics made it impossible to pass up.
Kansas and Constantine, our MMCs, made the story! They were dominant and mysterious, not afraid to get their hands dirty. Yet, they loved Eisley without abandon. However, like some other reviewers, I didn’t connect with Eisley and I found some inconsistencies/plot holes. All in all, it was unique and entertaining, making for a great read as we enter the spooky season!

Behind the pain and grime, a tender heart leads her to pick up the Kursicki brothers who are stranded along side the road. What follows is the dark tale of retribution, acceptance, forgiveness, and unexpected love that comes with cross-country trek.
Gentry and Karson were so different yet so similar. Watching them both evolve was fun, but Karson stole the show. Readers are definitely Along For the Ride because there is no clear path to their HEA. Not knowing how it’s all going to play out is nerve wracking and exciting and hot AF.

When pushed to date the daughter of a business pDallas Knights starting forward, Lincoln Daniels, continues to find himself under his father’s thumb. When pushed to date the daughter of a business partner, Linc accidentally texts the wrong number. Fed up with men, Monroe Bardot snarks back to the cocky man on the other end of the text thread.
When their banter takes a turn into more friendly territory, Linc becomes obsessed with the girl who could care less about his fame. Each text exchange endears her further to him until his feelings reach a fever pitch. Convinced she’s the one, Linc takes matters into his own hands to ensure she needs him as much as he needs her.
So… This book definitely lived up to the hype for me! I absolutely floved Linc and his brand of crazy.

Reluctantly, Tim agrees to marriage counseling with psychiatrist, Shane Nelson.
In an act of the ultimate manipulation, Shane ensures Sera will bend to his will and enjoy it, even beg for more.
This was an incredibly interesting read with so many unique elements. I really enjoyed it, my first read by the author, and definitely not the last!
Lorne Miller is tasked with keeping an eye on his soon-to-be stepsister, Noelle White. What starts as a job on behalf of Edward White, a Syndicate leaLorne Miller is tasked with keeping an eye on his soon-to-be stepsister, Noelle White. What starts as a job on behalf of Edward White, a Syndicate leader, quickly becomes an obsession. And not just for Lorne, but his “brothers,” Caspian and Declan as well.
Seeing the grip each man’s tragic past had on him was heartbreaking. Declan, in particular, suffered unspeakable trauma and had a difficult time living in the present. Noelle was able to seamlessly fit into their lives and balance their darkness with her light.
That said, the progression of their relationship went well beyond instalove. To be clear, I have no issue with instalove. However, the pacing felt very rushed with very little development. I’m really waffling on my rating because this was frustrating, but their story held my attention and was enjoyable in other aspects. So, this one benefits from my round up.

The story of a Good Samaritan quickly morphs into an unconventional, opposites attract (supa steamy) love affair. Moreover, Lex and Bunny’s becomes a tale of growth and self-discovery.
I will not be surprised if an entire subgenre of dark romance explodes following the release of Hitched. Every author will want to re-create the Lex and Bunny vibe.

For the Love of Layla is an account of how far Liam is willing to go in order to keep his Lítla Ást tethered to him.
I FLOVE an OTT jealous stâIker; they are my kryptonite. I’m still on the fence about Liam though.
My main issue is with the editing. I’ve seen some FB posts that suggest it has been edited and republished. However, I purchased after seeing several posts to that effect so I’m not sure. I never want to seem mean. Holy Tostitos though. If I weren’t invested enough into what action would eventually bring Layla back, I would have given up.
