Book Description: Dominic

I was the boy who would never be king. The monster who could never be loved.

Gia was just a job. Just another girl caught in a world of monsters.

It didn't matter that I liked the look of her.
I didn't care that she cringed when she saw my soul.
I liked it.
I liked her fear.
And I wanted her.

Monsters didn't get to live happily ever after, though. I knew one day I'd have to go back. Because time neither forgave nor forgot.

And neither did I.

Old debts needed to be settled. Enemies punished. It was past time I returned to the family business. I'd been gone far too long.

Gia

All my life, I believed in fairy tales. Not the Disney kind. Never those. I always knew life was darker than that.

I was the daughter of a foot soldier. The sister of a snitch. A nobody.

Monsters had been part of my life for as long as I could remember, but none as dark as Dominic Benedetti. None as cruel. None as broken.

I had no illusions about what he was. I had no desire to save his soul. And I couldn't care about his bleeding heart.

But love isn't always beautiful. It could be a twisted, ugly bitch.

I'd always known this was the kind I'd find. The only kind that could touch me.

Because some of us, we belonged in the dark.
And Dominic and I belonged in the dark.

Author's Note: Dominic is a steamy standalone romance with an HEA. He is the ultimate Anti-Hero, so be prepared for a crazy, sexy ride. To fully understand Dominic's actions, I recommend reading the first book in the Benedetti Brothers duet, Salvatore. 

This book is intended for mature readers. No cliffhanger. No cheating.

My Review: Emotionally gripping this story delves into every womans unspeakable nightmare of being kidnapped and worse if possible. And yet in its darkest recesses we are given hope, possibilities of light to come shinning through to give us a glimpse that humanity still hangs on by a thread. That life is still worth fighting for.

We are plunged into the darkest recess of human nature. A man who knows only cruelty, murder and yet some thread of goodness still remains. Love is a powerful tool that can and does change a person. This is a story the reader will remember for a long time after the last page has been closed. The characters remain to linger in your soul and their story one that wont easily be forgotten.

Book Description;Diamond Barrett has spent the last four years hiding in plain sight, working as a show girl in Las Vegas, trying to forget the painful memories of her mother's untimely death. When the details of the gruesome accident finally surface on the morning of her 25th birthday, Diamond's pain leads her to a series of bad choices that result in the loss of her job. 

Now what?

Paxton Donovan's very presence exudes dominance and captures the attention of everyone around him. He has spent years creating his brand as a business owner and professional dominant. There is no time for anything that interferes with the order in which he runs his business and life. Structure, order, rules, discipline. Business without pleasure. No distractions.

But nothing could have prepared Pax for Diamond as their two worlds collide and both of their perfectly ordered and quiet lives combust. Will their undeniable attraction and intense passion 

My Review: When I was first asked to review this book I was looking forward to it. I have read several along these same lines but this one blew me out of the water with its complexity, well drawn out characters,and absolutely total surprises that happened along the way, The love story and the hot scenes between Pax and Diamond are explosive and unforgettable.

Not only is her rear-end in danger of being spanked quite often for disobeying her dom but at one point so is their lives. And there is actually 2 heros in this story Pax who is Diamonds dom, the love of her life but his best friend Jase.

Pax alone will make you go weak in in the knees but when Jase joins in the mix you just get lost in the telling of the story and are so caught up in the tale that you cant put down the book until you reach the 'End'. 

This book will be one you wont forget. I have never been to Vegas myself to experience what some call 'Sin City' but after reading this story I just might have to book a flight there and see if I can experience a night at a club like in Collared! Who knows maybe even bump into Jase himself.

Jumping Time

"I warned you to never return here."

The whirl of the spinning blades lashed through the air sending chills down my spine. I just needed him to get close enough but not close enough to kill me which he seemed hell bent on doing. Just a little farther.

Poof! He was gone, nowhere to be seen. And me I didn't have a scratch on me.

Strange Love

She knew all was lost as she stared into the reapers eyes. But she didn't care. He had come for her at last. She had waited for him to come after her for what seemed like centuries. And now that they were together she vowed never to leave his side.

Book Description:
Of all the people to find Francesca Upton hitchhiking down the highway it had to be him…
Finley Tucker has always been the forbidden fruit, dangling just out of her reach.She thought she was over her silly infatuation, but from the moment Finn's hand connected with her daisy duke clad backside, Francesca's girlhood crush is reignited. But while Finn, bogged down by his own insecurities, rejects every one of her romantic advances, he can't seem to stop himself from offering to administer the discipline and care she never got as a child.
Will Francesca do what she always does and give up when she doesn't get exactly what she wants? OR will she dig in her heels and eventually change Finn's mind- and his heart?

My Review:
Finley is the perfect man to discipline this wayward spoiled little rich girl. She challenges him time and time again and earns several warm bottoms for it. The sarcasm and sass will make you laugh out loud and yet having you cringe with each spank he delivers. Neither of them realized her coming home for the holiday would end up changing all of their lives including that of her parents. Finley is a man determined to keep his word and proves it time and again as her lessons continue and their love grows.

Rayanna never fails to deliver. Her stories will make you laugh as well as make you glad you delve in between the pages of her tales just make sure it doesn't get your tail in trouble in the process, lots of laughs.

Book Description:

My Review: This is a new author for me. I love paranormal romance books. I always enjoy erotic elements within the story itself. Owen and Connor are dragon shifters who find themselves in the middle of twisted lies, murder while Connor falls in love with a new female dragon who has come to their clan home grounds.

The plot is well thought out and I enjoyed the twist but it isn't completed within this part of the book. You find out at the end that it carries onward to another book along with a surprise coming Owens way in the near future. I don't mind cliffhangers to an extent because I am left wanting to know more about the resolution of the main conflict the brothers have with other characters but at the same time this isn't always a guarantee that the reader will continue on with the story.

While I also liked the story I am a reader who loves to delve into the characters and truly get to know them, their motives, desires and what truly makes them tick and I found this to be lacking. While villains aren't something to be liked or sought after as a favorite character I would like to know a lot more about Aiden. And if you are going to set the story in a particular part of the world where the language is spoken differently or with an accent then remain true to that. Even though it is a modern day love story you have to have characters remain true to their heritage.

Ms. Brown

"I don't know about you Mr. Alucard but I take this very seriously. There are two young women missing now are you the man for the job or not? Or was my source wrong when they said you could find them when no one else has been able to?"

She had grit he would give her that. No other woman had ever stood their ground with him let alone be able to look him in the eye for long. No, this woman stood apart from all the others. When he was through recovering these young women he would turn his attentions to the honorable Ms. Brown.
