He Sees You When You’re Sleeping by Atta Hensley

3 Stars

Why choose between naughty or nice in this steamy, suspenseful Christmas-themed stalker romance that’s perfect for dark romance readers seeking a spicy, festive read.

It’s the night before Christmas and I’m alone in the house…

Popular jewelry influencer Chloe Hallman is steeling herself to spend another holiday on her own. Instead, she finds herself drawn to two different guys… a smoldering hot fan of her secret, seductive online persona, and a sexy fireman named Jack who looks out for her in their NYC neighborhood.

She has no idea that I know her better than she knows herself. Her deepest secrets, her darkest desires—she's careful, but I’ve been watching, never leaving footprints in the snow outside her home.

Jack was the first responder to the accident that stole a beautiful young woman's family two Christmases ago, and he's been quietly guarding her ever since. When Jack uncovers Chloe’s secret account, his obsession only grows. Both he and Chloe are drawn to the darkness that mirrors their own.

She’s my Christmas wish come true. And I'm hers. She just doesn’t know it yet.

Will Chloe’s Christmas be a tale of fiery passion...or a dangerous game with a man whose love knows no bounds?

I liked this but not loved it. There was humor throughout the book with the stalking. The other man drama was just meh. I am still questioning how Jack finds Chloe when Chloe was in danger. I liked it enough to check out book 2.

Worse Guy by Ruby Dixon

 

3 Stars

A vicious and amoral clone of Crulden is being held in prison to see if he can be rehabilitated. Bee is a social worker who is trying to do good when she is called in to tame him. Will she be able too?

This was a cute quick read. I liked Bee and Crulden. He’s a bit of a dick but there is a reason for it. Bee is trying to be a social worker for human woman but has to prove she can by rehabbing Crulden. They have a lot of steamy bits but not a lot of plot based story. If you are looking for a sexy story then this is a good one to read.

The Assassin’s Promise by Merri Bright

 

3.5 Star

Roya has been flunked out of the Assassins Guild. She’s angry with how everything has played out and that her mentor has screwed him over. When she finds out why Thorn failed her she has to trust him but who else can she trust. People from all over the world are tracking her to get her and keep her. Roya doesn’t want to do anything but learn more ways to poison someone and maybe how to use some of her mysterious powers. Will she be able to ignore the pull she has for Thorn, the prince, warrior-scholar, and a pirate?

I still enjoyed this one but it was a bit longer than it needed to be. There was a lot of build up that I didn’t feel enhanced the story. I love when authors put more info in the books but this felt like too much details than needed. It dragged the pacing of the book down to have it. I liked the guys in her harem and they all brought different things to the relationship with her and I loved that. I also liked that she was a major kick ass and strong woman. Overall, it was still a good book and it added to the series.

The King’s Omega by Merri Bright

 

4 Star

King Rigol has a prophecy to fulfill and he needs to find an omega. They haven’t been seen since a plague took them out. He thinks he’s found one but he has to accept Vali, who is dirty and smells horrible plus she has a cat that hates him. When he discovers the woman he thought was an omega was lying at it’s actually Vali will he be able to win her over. Will she be able to resist the Rigol’s inner circle all of whom have shown her nothing but what she needs?

I loved Vali and all of her men bar King Rigol. I felt all of her men made amends to her to her but I never felt he actually did anything to deserve her. This might be because of how he was to her cat. No one messes with the kittens. Besides that issue I loved how this book was written. It may not be the first review of omegaverse you’ve read of mine, but it was one of the first books in that genre that I read. It was different and made me fall down the rabbit hole of omegaverse. Definitely worth checking out this author and this series. It has all the feels and makes you want beat up some people for being horrible to Vali and make sure she has whatever makes her happy.
