Donation Clinic (Breeding Clinic) by Alexis B Osbourne

3 Stars

My biology only wants me to give into this strange alpha because I’m carrying his baby.

Kat wants a baby and has wanted one for years. As an older omega with no pack to call her own anymore, she turns to a fertility clinic for help on the path to motherhood. The constant appointments, the blood tests, and the pills will all be worth it when she can finally hold her little bundle of joy. The one she had to give up trying for all those years ago.

The problem? Her hot scent matched alpha donor wants to be more than anonymous and he’s already got a pack. Kat’s not sure that she can risk rejection again.

Liam and his two mates have always wanted a big family but they lack a breeding partner, and never found their scent match.

The opportunity the fertility clinic offers is one they can’t pass up. But when Liam immediately puts his foot in his mouth, he sends their pregnant omega running.

For the first time in forever, he aches to chase her. He can’t possibly let her go. And his pack doesn’t want to either. All three of them will make her see how perfect their pack is for her.

Can they mend the scars on Kat’s heart and neck and settle into domestic bliss before she runs away for good?

This one has updated the name to Donation Clinic. Same book I read under Breeding Clinic but the algorithm gods don’t suppress it.

I enjoy the story but not as much as other books in the series. I struggled with the goof up the clinic made and how they were just like sucks to be you, your going to have to work it out. I did love the pack and that they were all in with her. It was the perfect storm for them to get their HEA. Hit with the rest of the series and everyone was nice to learn about.

Weiner Across the Way by Amy Award

4 Stars

Kelsey Best is America's pop sweetheart and anyone who says they don't like her music is a liar and needs to be punched in the nads. And I'll do it too, because I'm the guy the NFL dubbed the meanest player in the league. Great for my career on the field, not so much for my reputation off it.

So I'm shocked as hell when Kelsey's team sends my agent a wild idea – they want a showmance between us. She's looking to dodge the media frenzy after her breakup with Hollywood's latest heartthrob, and I apparently fit the bill as her perfect distraction. My agent is convinced this fake dating stunt is the key to fixing my image. The whole world is going to hate me when we fake break up. And what happens when I fall for her? She's going to create a blank space in my heart, and I don't think I'm going to be able to shake it off.

Loved loved loved this book. Kelsey was such a sweet heart and her dog was so freaking cute in this book. I loved that Declan was all in from the very beginning and that his sister helped him get the girl. The two balanced each other out and made for a quick and easy read.

Definitely worth listening too as the narrators do an amazing job bringing the story out. I read the book first and then listened later and I would 100% recommend listening to the book. Stella Hunter and Jacob Morgan bring these characters to life and make the listen so enjoyable. I loved it so much.

Captured by the Dark Commander by Ellie Pond

4 Stars

Four hearts, one destiny.

Mermen mate in pods and one just claimed me.

I thought finding out my two best friends were mermen would be the weirdest thing about grad school.

Until a dangerously handsome man from the Mer army kidnapped me. He wants something from my friends and he’ll use me to get it.

I can’t escape him. He visits me in my dreams. He won’t let me out of his sight.

As a battle rages around us, the mysterious merman looks me dead in the eyes before commanding me to bite him if I want to live.

So I sink my teeth into his neck, not expecting him to bite me back.

Next thing I know I’m thrown through the icy surface of the Boston Harbor.

I thought I was drowning until I hear his voice in my head telling me to breathe–under the water.

Now my Dark Commander has taken me as his mate, but mermen mate in pods which means he’s not the only man who wants to claim me.

This book came up as an ad for me on insta and they always draw me in. I loved this one so much but it ends on a cliffhanger ending that made me so freaking mad. Luckily book 2 was out so I dove right in but book 2 ruined my love of book 1. This is a combo review because I couldn’t get through book 2 at all. It’s like the author put all this effort into book 1 and then was lost with how to continue the story. Which made book 2 drag so much. I read all the spoilers and said life is too short to force myself to read this and DNF.

Saying that book 1 was so good. Annabelle was an interesting character who is trying to go with the flow after being kidnapped by mermen. She ends up mated to the commander who has some issues. Basically it would be PTSD so his BFF has to tie him up every night and he sleeps in the room with them. He will become one of her mates. All of this was done really well. The relationship built nicely between the three of them until they reach the mer community and the book ended on a cliff. I am skipping the rest but I gave them all the HEA they deserve.

Djinn and Bare it by Darcy R Acula

3 Stars

A housewarming gift unleashes a djinn… but I think he’s defective.

To be honest, a big part of why I moved to a remote island was to escape my overbearing mother. She wants me to get married, settle down, and pop out some grand-trophies. I’m not opposed to the idea, but every time I swipe right, I seem to end up dating hot messes or worse: suspiciously perfect guys. No thanks. I want a normal guy who loves to snuggle and binge watch TV until we fall asleep in each other’s arms. A guy who will make me happy. Is that too much to ask?

I hadn’t even finished unpacking before my mom’s housewarming gift was tossed onto my porch—an antique lamp. While checking for damage, I rubbed the lamp, and you’d never guess what came out. Although, the title kind of gives it away, so darn it, you already know what popped out.

 

It turns out, being shaken around like rice inside a maraca during shipping isn’t great for a djinn’s memory; he is only able to remember bits and pieces of his past. Not to mention that every time he uses magic to help me, I end up with another mess to clean up.

Still, there is no denying I’m attracted to him. I just need to keep my mom from meeting him, so she doesn’t start hearing wedding bells. When someone makes a grab for the lamp and my man, I'm ready to do whatever it takes to save him.

I really enjoyed this book. It meshed well with the rest of the books in this world. It wasn’t the best of the bunch but it was good to read. I think it needed to be a longer book to flesh out some of the relationship between Genevieve and Djinn but overall it was good. Genie’s mom however can go far far away.

Elena loves being on top.

When the elite gymnast is challenged to defeat her gym rival on the pommel horse, she’s up for the task. But is she up for the ride when the pommel horse shapeshifts into a man?

A very, very, naked man?

For an inanimate object erotica book this one wasn’t bad at all. Had a good plot and an interesting inanimate object. Love the writing style Sabrina Cross has and makes it worth reading.

Third Gilmore Girl by Kelly Bishop

4 Stars

Kelly Bishop’s long, storied career has been defined by landmark achievements, from winning a Tony Award for her turn in the original Broadway cast of A Chorus Line to her memorable performance as Jennifer Grey’s mother in Dirty Dancing. But it is probably her iconic role as matriarch Emily in the modern classic Gilmore Girls that cemented her legacy.

Now, Bishop reflects on her remarkable life and looks towards the future with The Third Gilmore Girl. She shares some of her greatest stories and the life lessons she’s learned on her journey. From her early transition from dance to drama, to marrying young to a compulsive gambler, to the losses and achievements she experienced—among them marching for women’s rights and losing her second husband to cancer—Bishop offers a rich, genuine celebration of her life.

Full of witty insights and featuring a special collection of personal and professional photographs, The Third Gilmore Girl is a warm, unapologetic, and spirited memoir from a woman who has left indelible impressions on her audiences for decades and has no plans on slowing down.

Here’s a shocking nonfiction book review. I loved this book. It was interesting to see how Kelly Bishop came up in entertainment industry. I loved her in Dirty Dancing and Gilmore Girls which is why I read it. I blew through this autobiography in a couple hours and loved every minute of it. Seeing how she's lived her life and the struggles she's had to get where she is was interesting to read.

Marriage Hex by Sara Blue

3 Stars

It was a stupid wish. One that’s come to haunt my doorstep fourteen years later.

When I made a pact with my best friend to marry each other if we were both still single at thirty, I had no idea it would be magically bound… by me.

Time and circumstance have separated us, and we’re no longer the naïve teenagers we once were. I’m thriving with my coven and Silas is the newly appointed Alpha of the local shifter pack.

Which is why this marriage will never work.

The Celestial Coven and the Moon Walker Pack have had an ongoing feud that spans generations. My former best friend has now become my sworn enemy. Unfortunately, my magic hasn’t gotten that memo and my nemesis/husband is now living under my roof and walking around my house topless in gray sweatpants.

I don’t want him. I shouldn’t want him. But why do I find myself stalling at figuring out a counter curse?

The characters in this book irritated me so much which is the majority of the story. They are just so ridiculous about who abandoned whom. The fight just got real old real quick. Then all the stuff about forgetting and I just didn’t enjoy this book as much as I wanted to.

Blackened Bond by Isla Draven

3 Stars

Death once claimed me, stole the air from my lungs as I burned alive…only I didn’t stay dead.

Instead I was returned to my past, and back to a living hell.

The Academy.

Where those who I believed were friends were actually foes. My enemies thought they could break me, but I proved them wrong.

Two months ago I was given a second chance…A second life.

With it I now wanted answers…and revenge.

But something went wrong.

Chaos is happening all around me. Moments in time that never happened before; new people, strange marks, mutated monsters, and a power growing inside me that I have yet to fully understand.

I’ve caused events to alter with my presence…so it’s time I followed suit.

With the bond’s I’ve created in this new life I’ll find the answers I want and reclaim what’s mine.

Where the first one was amazing this one dragged out the story and only really got amazing in the last couple of chapters. There are too many questions still unanswered. Too many loose ends not resolved in anyway. It felt like a bridge book but we are too soon for a bridge book. Still interested enough to be waiting for book 3 but if I hadn’t started the series I would hold off to see if the next one is better.

Book 2 Blackened Blade

Amazon 

Baden by Sawyer Bennett

3 Stars

After suffering a horrific injury that threatens to end his career, Baden Oulett is about to learn that sometimes a fresh start is just what the doctor ordered.
I worked my whole life to achieve one goal—play professional hockey. As part of the defending Cup champion Arizona Vengeance, I was living my dream until one split second decision destroyed it all. Instead of lacing up my skates and hitting the ice, I’ve spent my days in rehab and physical therapy just so I could walk again. When a coaching opportunity with the Pittsburgh Titans is presented to me, I find myself with a career I had never considered but which allows me to continue being part of the sport that I love.
While my injuries are physical, the same can’t be said for the woman I rescued. Suffering from wounds that can’t be seen, Sophie Winters has withdrawn from the world in fear and guilt. I didn’t know Sophie before that fateful night and have only met her once since, but I refuse to let her face her demons alone. Determined to be a friend, I support Sophie in the only way I know how… by simply being there.
Through our shared trauma, Sophie and I begin to find peace within one another. As we grow closer, what started as friendship becomes more intimate until our broken pieces become one. But can a love born of anguish endure, or will the pain of our past prove too much to overcome?

This might be because I wasn’t in the mood for this book when I read it because I normally love Bennett’s books but this one was just a meh read for me. I struggled to get through it.

TBR by Sedona Ashe

4 Stars

I always thought I’d die crushed under the weight of my TBR pile, but my death was a plot twist I didn’t see coming.

Save your sympathy! Now that I’m dead, I’m living my best freaking life. I’m free to read books for hours on end without worrying about food, rent, or, well, any other interruptions.

It looks like I might finally be able to get through my TBR list… maybe.

The only one who can see me in my ghostly form is Wasabi, an adorable rat that lives in the library archives. That changed when a not-quite-human guy showed up in town and caught me admiring his gorgeous body—er, I mean, smile. If it was possible to die twice, I’d have done it on the spot from sheer embarrassment. I was drawn to him like a moth to an ugly Christmas sweater, but I fought the pull. My TBR list was calling, and men were a distraction I didn’t need or want. Books before boyfriends, am I right?

But it turned out the man wasn’t traveling alone. He was part of a three-man team that investigated strange ghostly occurrences, and they’d come to Amberwood to figure out why lost souls were gathering here. They are determined to convince me there is more to life than books and show me the joys of being shared by three adoring partners.

Resisting one irresistibly sexy man was hard enough, but three? And that was before a purple-eyed reaper appeared in town, and I started making bets I couldn’t win. I was fighting a losing battle by continuing to deny what my heart was telling me… and that was before I got a lap dance from death.

I can’t deny I’m addicted to their touch. Still, I prefer to keep my drama inside the pages of a book. But that becomes impossible when I realize lives are in danger… including those of the men I’ve started to think of as mine. I’m still haunted by my death, but maybe it’s time to face the truth and stop being such a good ghoul. They say you only live once, so I guess it’s time to find out if you only die once as well. Is YODO a thing?

My TBRs aren’t going to read themselves, and these men are becoming a distraction I don't need. Although, maybe I could take a quick break after I finish one more chapter....

I LOVED this book. I loved the characters and the development in the story. There is one scene with the grim reaper that was amazing. Would love to see more books in this world. Also who doesn’t have a massive TBR you want for ever to read.

Dragon’s Oath by Sophie Stern

3 Stars

A woman in danger…

A lost baby…

A long journey home…

Peggy is nothing special. As the night janitor at Westbridge High, she just wants to finish cleaning so she can hurry home and work on her art. For Peggy, nothing makes her feel more alive than when she’s standing in front of a canvas. Then one night, everything changes…

A woman in trouble runs up to Peggy and gives her a child. She begs Peggy to take the child to Fablestone where the baby will be safe. From what? Peggy doesn’t know. All she knows is that the two agents who show up on her doorstep the next day aren’t with the FBI, and she’d bet anything they’re scientists who want to get their hands on dragon’s blood.

That’s not going to happen.

Not on Peggy’s watch.

Peggy doesn’t have a choice. She has to get the baby to the Fablestone clan before the full moon ends. She has to reach Fablestone before it’s too late.

The fate of the clan is resting on Peggy, and she swore a dragon's oath to return the child to its rightful home.

She'll do whatever it takes, even if it costs her everything.

I enjoyed the overarching aspect of this book but wanted it to be fleshed out more. It needed more world building and character development. It was an interesting read. I liked Peggy and how much she worked to get the kiddo home to her family. I also liked she didn’t take any crap from Cameron when he found her with his niece Daisy. The biggest issue with it was it wasn’t long enough so it was as well developed as it could have been. Still liked it enough to read the next one.

Scorned Vows by Victoria Page

2.5 Stars

He was the perfect husband until she got pregnant.

An arranged marriage was always in Natalya Conte’s future.

Luca Moretti is charming and considerate.

Handsome like the devil, he dotes on her and spoils her.

But when two pink lines should have brought them unbridled joy, her husband ices her out.

An arranged marriage gives Luca great power.

To cement that power, he needs an heir.

The quickest way to do it is to make Natalya fall madly in love with him.

He will have her loyalty without risking his heart because love to him means weakness.

Natalya needs Luca to love her.

Because she has secrets that will put them all in jeopardy.

Her heart shatters when Luca shows her exactly how little she means to him.

But it isn’t until she sees evidence of the unforgivable that she loses all hope for a happily ever after.

Oh Instagram adds gets me every time. I wanted to like this as the premise was interesting. However, the time leap because of amnesia was overdone. Not to mention it was as if all issues were just swept under the rug once Luca found Natalya. It just didn’t work for me.

Dragon’s Storm by Andi Lawrencovna

4 Stars

Are you brave enough to dare the Dragon’s Storm? Long, long ago, long before man learned to worship gods or fear the power of the unknown, there were dragons to bow before. Dragons who ruled the world. Who could bury it beneath a flood of rain born from the drop of a tear or crack the earth asunder with a step upon its sands. But that was long ago, before the beast was trapped beneath the seas for his impertinence of befriending the woman whose power called to his own, before her descendant stood upon the shoreline and begged the sleeping giant to save the world that had relegated him to myth and legend. Havence Ilvanysto had always been taught to fear the dragon. That he would destroy everything she held dear if he was released from his watery prison, but her world was ending, and he was the only hope she had. Ouros swore vengeance against the witch who he thinks imprisoned him and all who came after her. He didn’t care what her reasoning was, so long as her line suffered as he had been forced to suffer for centuries uncounted. But how can he keep to his vow when the only one brave enough to stand with him in the eye of the storm, is the one he’s sworn vengeance against?

This was not a book I would normally pick up. I was attending a book event with this author and always try and read the books so I can figure out which books to buy at the event. Boy was I glad to read this book. I loved it so much. I loved the way the story was told and how Havence overcame her fears and previous teaching. Ouros was another amazing character who has to relearn some information. They work so well together. Can’t wait for the next book.

Bargain with Shadow by Genevieve Jack

4 Stars

It takes a monster to stop a monster.

Light the candle.

Stand naked before the symbol.

Offer your blood.

The advocate will come.

I left my abusive crime boss husband expecting to start over from nothing. After all, the prenup I signed when I married him is ironclad. But when Tony uses a loophole in the law to go after my ancestral family home—the one I’m currently living in and my grandmother is dying in—I’m desperate to stop him.

My witch best friend Maeve offers a solution. She lends me a family spell to call a supernatural advocate to deal with Tony. After all, it takes a monster to stop a monster.

But when I follow her instructions, I’m not expecting the darkly handsome Damien to form from the shadows, or to learn that he’s been a prisoner of Maeve’s family for centuries. From the moment he accepts my bargain and drinks my blood, he awakens a passion in me, one charged with latent magic. Magic formidable enough to restore my true self. Magic that holds the promise of Damien’s freedom.

I loved this story so much. I loved how Eloise was a very sunshine character throughout this book and it worked with Damien’s grumpy persona. They worked well together. I was not a huge fan of Maeve. They were using Damien for their own reason and it wasn’t really explained why. The one big detractor is the cliffhanger ending which was a surprise as this author doesn’t usually do this. It was enjoyed enough I will check out the other books.

Cammie Cooper became an alpha-chaser by accident.

After a one-night stand that ends in two pink lines, Cammie thinks she’s found her happily ever after. She forgets all about scent matches, fated mates, and the truth about being a beta from the town of Crawley. That is, until her alpha drops her when he finds his scent match.

Cammie finds herself back home and out of options. She’s got two kids, two jobs, and more bills than she can keep up with.

Her neighbor Reid comes to the rescue after a run-in with the wrong side of the law, vowing to protect Cammie and her kids. But she can't trust another alpha, no matter how much he promises. When she meets his bonded omega, it confirms her suspicions. What could the pair want from her but a good time?

Can Reid and Finn convince Cammie they mean to claim her and her kids? Is it possible for them to blend their lives and find love after so much heartache?

LOVED Cammie so much. She is a beta living in an omega world. She doesn’t change either which I loved so much. She stayed who she was and still found her HEA with Reid and Finn. I loved that they stepped up for her kids when her ex abandons them for his scent match. It was just a very nice and sweet omegaverse book.

Mine to Keep by Jen Talty

3 Stars

Lies, Loyalty, and Lighthouses: A Story of Finding Home.

All Brynleigh “Bryn” Tinsley wanted was to find a safe harbor and put the past behind her so she could raise her little girl in a peaceful, loving environment. Now, three identities later and 2,000 miles away, she finds herself in the small, seaside town of Lighthouse Cove, Florida.

The last thing she needs is a pesky firefighter who keeps showing up at every turn, doing his best to become her handyman - and more. But when her daughter’s life is on the line, Brynleigh will do whatever it takes to protect her daughter from the hell that is her past.

Jamison Kirby can understand not wanting to speak to your family. He’s barely spoken to his mother or brothers in almost two years. So, he doesn’t think much of Bryn not wanting anything to do with her daughter’s extended family. However, he does take being lied to personally. So, when he finds out that Bryn isn’t even her real name, he goes digging into her past. And doesn’t like what he finds.

Worse, he pokes a hornet’s nest, putting Bryn and her daughter in the line of fire, and forcing Jamison to do the one thing he swore he’d never do.

Call his family for help.

This was a perfectly average book. There wasn’t anything particularly moving about the book nor was there anything particularly bad about the book it was perfectly average. I liked the characters and the writing style of this author it just didn’t stand out. Nothing wrong with the book at all just an ok book

Atlas by DJ Krimmer

4 Stars

Atlas
Lauren Locklear.
She has no idea that I would do anything for her. She doesn’t understand the mountains I would climb just to keep her safe.
That’s okay though, I’ll make sure she does.
She thinks she’s weak, and given the lack of love and support from those closest to her, I can understand why. That changes now, I will make her see the strong woman I see when I look at her.
I’ve pined for her in secret, wanting nothing more than to show her what she could have. But with my past still haunting me, I knew it would be best to stay back.
That is, until she needs access to health insurance and I see a solution to both her problem and my dilemma. All she has to do is say yes.

Ren
I’ve done something stupid.
Something reckless.
Something everyone will judge me for and I’m risking everything.
My family. My career. Myself.
I’m always too much to handle and the men I’ve allowed into my life have always reminded me of my shortcomings, even when it’s their fists doing the reminding.
No one has ever truly cared for me, loved me.
And then Atlas Hart asks me to marry him in order to save my life.
This isn’t love. It’s barely a friendship, or so I thought. But as the days go by and I see what he so selflessly risks for me, I cannot help but think that maybe… this could be more.

I loved how Atlas was all in with Ren. He wants to protect her at all costs even if it is illogical or illegal. I loved all the feels you have from both of them and how they try so hard not to fall for each other. It was a good read.

Stone by Anna Hackett

He’s the new silver fox recruit at Sentinel Security.

The hot, tough former Marine Raider.

And he won’t touch her because he works with her brother.

Real estate agent Magnolia “Nola” Newhouse has it all. Okay, not quite all. She loves her work, has a growing collection of designer heels, and is about to become an aunt…she’s just missing the love of her life. She’s watched her brother and her best friend fall in love, and Nola wants that too.

When she first sees the big, rugged silver fox across the bar, she feels an instant connection, and knows he does too. They share a passionate kiss, then he discovers who her brother is…

A short and sweet short story. I loved seeing Nola and Stone get their HEA. Plus seeing all the original characters was amazing to read up on what they are up to. The only downside was it was too short. I wanted more of the story and the characters.

Fated to the Alpha by Jessica Hall

2 Stars

Katya has always been an outsider, shunned for having no wolf and unable to live up to the reputations of her Beta father and infamous warrior mother. Just before her 18th birthday, her family is stripped of their titles and shunned from the pack.

They have only two options: go rogue or seek refuge in a Black Creek Pack. Katya suddenly finds herself caught up in a web of lies her parents told. Now not only does she need to prove herself to her new Alpha, but she has to keep him from finding out her secret.

However, Katya finds keeping her secret harder than she thought when the Alpha shows a keen interest in her. She is forced to move into the packhouse. And with nowhere to hide, she is forced to go to extreme measures to keep him from finding out she has no wolf.

But darkness looms, and secrets come to light, more than she ever imagined. Now Katya doesn’t know who to trust or who to turn to when everything she thought she knew was just another lie of a bigger secret kept.

Just when she believes she has all the pieces of the puzzle, does she learn the Alpha is keeping a secret of his own. She is his mate. There is just one issue: Katya has no wolf, and if he figures that out, will he keep her or shun her as her last Alpha did?

I wanted to like this book so much. It hits all the tropes I love but I just couldn’t get past the grammar and typos in the book. Events in the book also need to be fleshed out more. World needs to be better explained. I also struggled with the Katya a lot. I got it from my library so I wasn’t out anything and they did have book 2 but I just couldn’t force myself to read it.

Sanctuary by Ilona Andrews

3 Stars

It’s not easy serving Chernobog, the God of Destruction, Darkness and Death…especially during the holidays; and especially when you’re out of eggnog and one of your pesky, freeloading mythic creatures has eaten your last cookie.

Roman would like nothing more than to be left alone, but when a wounded boy stumbles into his yard and begs for sanctuary, Roman takes him in. Now elite mercenaries are camped out on his property, combat mages are dousing the house with fire, and strange priests are unleashing arcane magic. They thought Roman was easy pickings, just a hermit in the woods, but they chose the wrong dark priest to annoy. For while Roman might be patient, he is the Black Volhv, filled with the love of his terrible god. For his adversaries, it's a fight to the death, but for him, it's just another day in the neighborhood.

I enjoyed the different mythos this book brought, and I love MMC. No world building since it’s apart of the Kate Daniel’s series. You don’t need to have read all of the other books in the series but it does add to the overall series. Definitely worth a read if you are a fan.

Grim by Nicola Jane

2 Stars

Grim

When it comes to women, I like it simple. Hook-ups and short goodbyes are my thing. But there’s something about Meli, that keeps me coming back for more.

She’s carefree, exciting, and the Pres’s sister, which means she’s off-limits. But when she makes it clear we’re not happening, it’s Hadley, her twin, who reminds me not all love has to be dramatic and crazy. It can also be gentle, slow, and easy.

Hadley’s never been of interest to me, always too busy reading or studying. But lately, I’m noticing her more and more, and that’s dangerous . . . for both of us.

She doesn’t realise the damage I could cause her. Because that’s what I do—I’m Grim, reaping souls and casting them aside, leaving nothing but death and destruction.

Hadley won’t survive me.
Hadley

It’s no secret that I’ve had a crush on Grim since I was a kid. I’ve longed for him to look at me the way he looks at my twin sister, Meli. The trouble is, she hates him, but I know how unrequited love feels, so I vow to support Grim as he deals with the rejection.

Forcing myself to live a little, I put down my books and pack away my baggy jumpers in an attempt to get on Grim’s radar. And just when I think about giving up, he finally sees me!

I never knew true happiness could feel so amazing. Then, one day, it all falls down around us, leaving nothing but broken pieces and shattered hearts. I’ve never felt this kind of pain.

Nothing will ever be the same again . . . for any of us.

He willingly went to prison and missed his kid’s birth because of his choices. He sucked for sleeping with her sister but instead of facing it he goes to jail to give her a break. It was an interesting idea but he never makes up for his behavior.

Destined to be together, forbidden to love, two lost souls fight evil in an everyday world that belongs to the night.

Aria Rialta is a girl of two realities. One she was born to. The other she was chosen for. Both are a threat.

Every night when Aria falls asleep, she enters the nightmare world of Faydor to fight a war. It’s her calling to help destroy the Kruen, who feed sin and chaos to our everyday world of vulnerable humans. It would be a lonely realm in which to do battle if not for Pax, Aria’s dangerously irresistible soulmate whose mere touch can kill. It’s also a realm that’s getting harder to escape.

Aria’s hallucinations are seeping into her waking world. And the Kruen are coming for her. To help Aria, Pax must do what no one in Faydor has dared to do before—join his soulmate in the light of day. Giving in to their forbidden attraction could be the death of them, but they might not be able to stop themselves as they embark on a cross-country journey to fight the evils hunting them.

As their desire grows, so do Aria’s untapped powers, and a menacing new force far darker than the Kruen.

“Just like that? I’m hired?”

He shrugged as if he hadn’t just changed my life. “We can go over salary and benefits and hours and everything, but we want you. And I know you need the job. And to be fair, I was a little worried that you weren’t going to want to take it because of well…”

And the other elephant in the room raised its trunk. “You don’t have to worry about that. I haven’t spoken to him since that evening.”

Confusion covered his face. “He didn’t call you?” 

I winced. “I don’t know if that’s any of your business in an interview, but no.”

He flinched. “I think we are past the point of not allowing any personal things into this interview. I apologize.”

I shook my head, wondering why I’d snapped back as I had. “No. You’re right. I’m the one that blurted that Isabella was my best friend.”

“And that’s the second thing. Is she going to be okay with you working here?”

This time I smiled. “I think she promised to come and kick shins if I didn’t get hired. So thanks for that.”

He grinned then. “I think I’m going to like this sister of mine.”

“She’s my best friend. And one of the most amazing people I know. So I hope you do. And I’m really sorry all of this happened and it’s such a mess. But we do not need to talk about that. And I’m sorry that I know so much about it.”

“It’s actually kind of nice that someone else knows outside of the family. I mean the media pretends they know, but they don’t.”

I shook my head. “I can’t even imagine.”

He waved it off as if it was nothing, though I knew it couldn’t be. “So, are you okay then working here? We’re complicated, we’re demanding, but we’re not going to fire you because you dared to even breathe next to our supposed rival.”

I press my lips together, wondering what the catch was. Who were these Cages? And why was I inevitably connected to them?

But in the end, it didn’t matter.

“Yes. I’m in.”

He held out his hand again, and I shook it, as a wide smile covered his face. “Good. Now we can let the world know we poached you from our new rivals.”

This time I rolled my eyes. “Oh, he would love that.”

“Oh, we’ll make sure he knows.”

“As long as it doesn’t blow up in our faces.”

“We can handle the embers.” He looked over my shoulder and from the way that he stiffened ever so slightly, I froze.

I knew exactly who was behind me in that moment, and who I knew I would inevitably see here.

However, James was my boss. My new boss. And as I turned to see Aston Cage there, I was afraid of what I was going to see.

And afraid of what I wasn’t.
