Five years ago, I was found abandoned beyond the district's barrier—bloodied, alone, and stripped of my memories. My unlikely saviors? A ragtag band of supernaturals. They took me in, gave me shelter, and over those five years, they revealed the secrets of this world, teaching me how to survive in its shadows.

But one night was all it took to unravel everything I’d fought to build. That night, I made a mistake. I let my darkness come out, and the enforcers took notice—they came for me, determined to uncover every secret I’d tried to bury.

From that moment on, nothing would ever be the same.

They make me question everything—even my loyalty to the only family I’ve ever known. And when disaster strikes the club, I’m torn away from home, from everything I knew. Just me and three deadly enforcers� Well, that is until the fourth member of this lethal unit appears.

I never felt like I belonged, but now I’m beginning to wonder if I’ve finally found where I truly fit—among the monsters.

Then three monsters took her. She had thought she was broken already, but they obliterated any tiny shards of herself she had been clinging to, smashing everything she had ever been to nothing but dust.

She was done fighting. Done surviving.

But an unexpected light came into her life, illuminating the pitch darkness she had fallen into, and a promise pulled Blake back from the very brink of giving up.

Now Blake has so much good in her life - family who love her and four guys who make her feel safe and cherished in a way she never even imagined possible. Day by day they are all showing her life can be bright and joyful, and proving to her that she doesn't have to keep fighting alone because they will protect her, always.

But with an unknown enemy becoming increasingly bold in their attempts on Blake's life and old monsters crawling from the shadows, can they really keep their promises? Can Declan, Grey, Liam, and Tom help her overcome the demons of her past and the monsters of her present, to find the strength she needs to take the future she wants with all of them?

This is book two of the 'Perpetually Broken' series. It is a contemporary reverse harem intended for readers aged 18yrs+

]]> <![CDATA[The Promise (Perpetually Broken, #1)]]> 108520147 I used to be broken. I’d been that way for so long, that I could no longer recall a time when I was once whole.
I learned to live that way; to survive. Dealing with trauma was my specialist skill.

Three monsters. Four days. One bullet

That’s what it took for all of those broken pieces, that I had fought so hard to hold together, to be obliterated; pulverized over and over until all that remained was dust.

Now I give up. Now there is no more surviving. No more fighting. I am a hollow shell and there is no repairing the void left inside of me.

Until them.

Until their promises reawaken a flicker of hope within me; hope I had spent so many years hiding from; hope I was terrified of.

Is it too good to be true? Can I really put my trust in them? They want to be there for me; to help me heal, but how can they when every part of me has been irreparably destroyed?

This is a contemporary reverse harem, intended for readers aged 18yrs+

]]> Sugar Baby (Sugar Life #1) 201210611 Four Daddy Doms. Three hours. Ten Thousand Dollars. Who wouldn’t say yes to that?

I’m not going to bore you with my tragic backstory, because fuck that. I worked my ass off for the scholarships I have and the first day of the rest of my life is only four days away. My goal? Graduate college, get my CPA, and become an accountant. I know there are a few more steps, but that is my path because that shit is stable and will generate a more than generous living wage.

As compared to right now, when I have less than ten dollars in my account and my meal card doesn’t activate for another two days. In swoops my roommate with her designer handbags and freshly done hair. She introduces me to an app that is going to stop me from being a cliche broke college student.

SugarLife.

Go out to dinner with some old dudes for a couple hundred dollars? Fuck yes.

But then I see their date invitation.

Four daddies looking for a baby girl to share for the night.

Their list of bedroom requirements has me squeezing my thighs together and my thumb hitting the accept button before my brain can catch up.

And the kicker? They’re willing to pay me more money than I have ever had for a few hours between my legs.

I’ve done way worse things for less.

And I never saw a cent of that cash.

The more we chat, the more invested I get. I need to remind myself that it’s only for a few hours. One night. It’s not for forever.

They won't want to keep me.

No one ever wants to keep me.

Sugar Baby is the first book in the Sugar Life series. It is a high-steam why choose romance with one baby girl, four daddy doms, one night of extreme pleasure, and the introduction into the darker aspects of the world of kink. ]]> 208 Harley Madison Rebecca 0 currently-reading 4.10 Sugar Baby (Sugar Life #1)

I should have known something like this would happen. Karma does love biting me in the ass! Just when I was finally content with my life, someone tries to take it away from me and I made it so easy for them.

I don’t know if I’m going to make it through this, but if I do, whoever did this is going to beg for mercy when I’m through with them!

*If you like sexy fantasy/paranormal romances, with humour, steam, action, suspense, a tough heroine and multiple alpha males, this is for you. Divinos Bound is book 2 of the series.

They think they can break me, scare me away. But they’ve never seen power like mine or met a girl like me. They can't break me - I’m already broken!

After serving my sentence in Dark Vaults Juvenile Correctional Centre for a bullsh*t crime I didn’t commit, imagine my surprise when I snag a fancy ass invitation to one of the most prestigious schools� in the kingdoms � Divinos Academy.

Being neither a royal nor one of society’s elites, paints a target on my back but I’m used to that. What I didn’t expect is the three royals gunning for my head, doing anything they can to throw me back in the gutter. But these guys don’t know who they’re messing with and I’m not leaving until I’ve found what I came here for. If these royal pricks want to play with fire then I’ll happily ignite the flame!

With the help from my irresistibly tempting spells and potions professor, this place could be the key to unlocking my father’s secrets and nothing and no one will get in my way.

There’s a dark presence, lurking in the shadows, watching and waiting for their moment to attack. I survived magical prison, I can survive Divinos Academy, right?

*If you are fans of Caroline Peckham, Tate James, Jaymin Eve, Elizabeth Briggs and like fantasy/paranormal romances, with steam, action, suspense and a kickass heroine, this is for you. Divinos Lost is book 1 of Divinos Academy Series. This is a light bully romance and ends on a cliffhanger (series is now complete). This book contains romantic scenes and adult language.

After being discharged from the Demonslayer guild, Mayumi chose to isolate herself within the forest. The best place to hunt and kill Demons. But, one night, she’s surprised when a different monster is lured by her baits.

Just before she unleashes an arrow that’s aimed to kill, Mayumi pauses. She realises she’s seen that skulled, feline face before and that it had once saved her life.

All Faunus ever wanted was her.

]]> Amid Clouds and Bones 215813693 A princess determined to survive an arranged marriage to a heartless faerie prince is saved by a twist of fate that could destroy their world in this all-new standalone fantasy romance.

As the half faerie daughter of a human king, my days were spent tucked out of sight�until the Seelie Fae sought an alliance with our kingdom. In exchange for my father’s help in defeating their Unseelie enemies, I would wed Atakan the heartless.

The Seelie prince loathed everyone, but none more than me. Throughout the years leading to our nuptials, each encounter grew more terrifying than the last as he demonstrated how he’d earned his infamous reputation.

Fear would only doom me faster. So I learned to hide it with games I soon became happy to play. I wasn’t supposed to crave a monster. But just when I’d thought I might tame the untameable, fate intervened.

And delivered me straight to his enemy.


This fast-paced standalone features true enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, high heat, and a cast of morally grey and villainous characters. ]]> 403 Ella Fields Rebecca 4 3.79 2024 Amid Clouds and Bones

When my past haunts me more than the ghosts of the dead, it’s time to start slaying my demons.

My worst nightmares have come to pass. Not only has my father found me, but I’m now locked away in an asylum. What bothers me more is that I don’t know where I stand with the guys. After our brutal battle with a vengeful ghost, I wouldn’t blame them if they don’t want anything to do with me.

As though my life wasn’t already in shambles, my gifts have come to the attention of a real-life mad scientist. He wants to exploit my abilities for nefarious purposes, and he doesn’t care if I live through his experiments as long as he gains what he wants.

If the guys have taught me anything, it’s to not go down without a fight. Unfortunately, the idiots derail my escape plan when they infiltrate the asylum to rescue me…only to be caught in a trap. Now, we will have to work past our resentment and distrust if we want to escape with our lives. The experience will either draw us closer together…or destroy us all.

Meet the Rue, Hicks, Gunner, Ellis, and twins, Jameson and Jaceson.

It was an offer too good to refuse: spend one month in the most haunted house in the world. When the reclusive owner of Duskwood Manor opens the door to five teams of paranormal investigators, there’s no way my team can say no.

But there are no ghosts here.

There are monsters.

They live under my bed, in my closet, and watch me from the shadows, whispering filthy visions in my ear at night.

Begging me to come with them to their world—the Void, where the monsters roam free� where they teach me what it really means to want.

Every night I disappear from the mortal world to play in theirs, swallowed by their insatiable, terrifying shadows.

Consumed by their claws and fangs.

Caressed by slick tentacles and endless, delicious hunger.

But the longer I stay in the Void, the harder it is to ignore its call.

There is a price to pay for stepping foot in this manor�

And the monsters have demanded me.

An Inheritance of Monsters is a steamy fast-burn standalone romance, with knots, bioluminescent tentacles, and three possessive monsters who will never let the heroine escape their clutches.

Would I be brave enough to take it?

Five years ago, Josie Porter’s life was about to begin: she was going to escape her abusive family, move in with her best friend, and start college. Now, scarred from years of government torture in the Designation Academy, her dreams are long gone. Her only goal now is survival.

With the Designation Government out to pair every omega with often brutal alpha packs, Josie has to turn to black-market suppressants to disguise her biology. But when the supply runs out, Josie can no longer run from her designation.

Cam, Ben, and Theo Ashwood had given up on their dream to find an omega, refusing to participate in the government’s oppressive policies. But when the underground anti-government Alliance asks them to help an omega in need, they can’t say no. They never expected to meet her � their fated mate.

Suddenly surrounded by alphas desperate to tend to her every need, Josie finds herself feeling things she only dreamed of as a child � love, trust…hope.

But even the protection of her fiercely loyal pack can’t stand against those determined to tear them apart.]]> 568 Emilia Emerson Rebecca 0 currently-reading 3.84 2023 Forbidden: Part One (Luna & Sol Omegaverse, #1)

Good for a heat, but not good enough for a pack. I’d been courted by more packs than anyone I knew, yet not a single one ever picked me. I was close to giving up when my luck changed - I won a coveted lottery ticket to the most exclusive omega ball in the nation, the Darlington Ball! Soon I would be rubbing elbows with the world’s most eligible packs. It all seemed so simple - until I ended up kidnapped, just for being in the wrong omega’s room! By the time they figured out I wasn't the right omega, I’d already smelled them and knew they were perfect for me.

And for being one of the scary criminal packs I’d been warned about, they sure seem sweet. They’re treating me better than any pack I’d ever been with - and now I’m not sure I can let them go. Unfortunately I have a heat coming soon, and I want them in a very bad way. The question is, will I be able to survive another rejection from the one pack I finally feel safe around?

Pack Genovese

We were known as the most efficient and ruthless packs when it came to clandestine assignments. So how did this mission get so messy? It should have been simple - abduct a high profile omega for a few days and collect the payment. Easy, right? Unfortunately, not only did we take the wrong girl, but she’s driving our entire pack crazy with her amazing perfume and her sunny disposition. Even the most hardened member of our pack can’t resist her adorable smile. She’s making us all want to be better - but can we change enough to be worthy of this prize omega?

Emelle used to be just a stupid cupid helping others fall in love (or not) and living a loveless life.

Everything changed when she went to the fae realm and was no longer invisible. Her sole goal was to find love for herself, and she did. With four fae men.

Too bad she found trouble too.

She's somehow become an accidental spy for the kingdom's rebels, and there's a war brewing in the realm.

All this cupid really wants to do is spread a bit of love . . . but she'll have to spread a bit of fight first.

Good thing there's nothing a cupid will fight harder for than love.

I want someone with a soul as black as night. Someone who would burn the world down for me and not lose a single minute of sleep over it.

Trauma nurse Alyssa Cappellucci doesn't need any more kinks. She likes the one she's landed on just fine. To her, nothing could top the masked men she follows online. Unless one of those men was shirtless, heavily tattooed, and waiting for her in her bedroom. She dreams about being hunted by one in particular, of him chasing her down and doing deliciously dark things to her willing body. She never could have guessed that by sending one drunken text, those dreams would become her new reality.

I want things most people don't, craving darkness and depravity instead of light and love.

Joshua Hammond has an infamous father-the kind of man that true-crime podcasts love talking about. Josh has spent his life avoiding the limelight, but his online persona is another story. At night, he posts masked thirst traps for his millions of fans to drool over, but one follower has caught his Aly. After reading a comment begging him to break into her house wearing a mask, he decides to take her up on her offer.

Together, Aly and Josh live out their darkest fantasies, unaware that Aly has captured the attention of someone else. Someone with far more sinister intentions than a little light stalking. As Josh turns from predator to protector and the stakes heighten, he must ask himself how far he's willing to go for the woman he's obsessed with.

Welcome to Dark River. Population 0.

When Mika McKellen woke up in a stormwater drain while backpacking around Canada, she knew that her mother was right. If you made bad choices, you would end up dead in a ditch. But when she stumbled into Dark River, even her mother could never have dreamed up the residents of this small town in the middle of nowhere, Alberta.

Oh, it had all the usual suspects. Quirky diner owners, untrustworthy outcasts and a Sheriff so hot he’d make any red-blooded woman with a heartbeat beg to be in cuffs in the back of his patrol vehicle. No, the really unusual thing about Dark River was that it was entirely populated by the Undead. Vampires to be specific. And so was Mika.

As Mika adjusts to the life of a Vampire, a dark presence stalks her from the shadows. One of the residents of Dark River was her maker and her murderer.

And they were determined to ensure that Mika never rested in peace.

'So fresh and different. It's like a funny, irreverent version of Dexter - only there's two of them and sexual tension' Abby Jimenez, New York Times bestselling author of Yours Truly

----

From the no.1 New York Times bestselling author of the genre-breaking international TikTok sensation Butcher & Blackbird and Leather & Lark comes the final book in the Ruinous Love Trilogy - a friends-with-benefits dark romantic comedy.

Murder.

Mayhem.

And spice.

Doctor Fionn Kane is running from a broken heart, one he hopes to mend in small-town Nebraska, far away from his almost-fiance and his derailed surgical career. It's a simpler head down, hard work, and absolutely no romantic relationships. He wants none of the circus he left behind in Boston.

But then the real circus finds him.

Motorcycle performer Rose Evans has spent a decade on the road with the Silveria Circus, and it suits her just fine, especially when she has the urge to indulge in a little murder when she's not in the spotlight. But when a kill goes awry and she ends up with an injured leg, Rose finds herself stuck in Nebraska, at the home of the adorably nerdy town doctor.

The problem is, not every broken heart can be sewn back together.

. . . And the longer you stay in one place, the more likely your ghosts are to catch up.

Is it possible to fall for a man you don't know?

Before I saw his face,
Or heard his voice,
Or felt the warmth of his touch,
I fell in love with his mind.
Devious. Cunning. Deceptive .

The master of deadly and dangerous plans.
The silent threat no one saw coming.
Manipulating people's lives like pawns on a chessboard.

When he steps out of the shadows,
The king reclaiming his throne,
He sets the world aflame,
And burns my heart to ash.

MASSIMO

After eighteen years,
I finally got my freedom back.
My dark empire was waiting.
Primed for me to take the reins.

I'll punish the traitors who stole my life.
And make them feel true pain.
The era of peace is over.
I’m ready to unleash mayhem.

But I left one prison,
Only to be trapped again,
In a battle between my conscience and my desire.

The one thing I desire above all else,
I can never have.

My sweet angel.
My magnificent queen.
My Zahara.


The Perfectly Imperfect is a series of interconnected standalones, where books can be read in any order. However, Sweet Prison (Book 10, Massimo & Zahara’s story) was written as a companion to Darkest Sins (Book 9, Kai & Nera’s story), and I strongly recommend reading the duet in tandem and proper order. ]]> 378 Neva Altaj Rebecca 3 3.85 2024 Sweet Prison (Perfectly Imperfect, #10)

In a night of blood and death,
Fate brought us together.
I thought I was saving the life of an innocent man,
A man I'd never see again.
I was wrong.

A slight shift in the air.
A glint of silver eyes in the darkness.
I may not see him, but I know he's there.
My angel of death,
Lurking in the shadows,
Watching over me.
Protecting me,
Before disappearing into thin air,
Until we meet again.

A man who took a bullet for me,
But he won't touch me,
Love me,
Or even share his name.


KAI

Darkness. Pain. Blood.
It's all I have ever known.
An empty shell of a human being,
No heart. No soul. No dreams.
Surrounded by death,
I was a dead man walking.

But then, her light shone through my darkness,
Breathing life into my dead soul.
My fearless tiger cub,
My only reason to keep living.

Every time I have to leave her in the light,
My black heart breaks and bleeds,
As I retreat to the shadows,
Where I belong.

I cannot change the past,
Cannot take back what I have done.
My darkest sin.

Home,
Bratva is my home.
My sanctuary from the past.
The only place where a killing machine like me belongs.

Sometimes, my demons come rushing back,
And I feel out of control, full of rage,
Close to losing myself completely.

Until a broken, injured woman stumbles onto my path,
Awakening my protective instincts,
And sending my demons to sleep.

Keeping her prisoner is my only option.
If she leaves,
My darkness will resurface,
And there will be no escaping it this time.

Angelina

Escape,
That’s all I can do,
Only to end up in the hands of a crazed killer.

Now, I’m fighting to stay away from my enemies,
And trying to not fall for a man I shouldn’t want.

But what will happen when we both reveal our hidden truths?

There is only one punishment for spies and liars,
A slow and painful death.
And my sweet, angelic wife,
Who bewitched everyone in my home,
From my men - even to my dogs,
Is the worst traitor of all.

But it seems I have fallen under her spell as well,
With every smile, every ridiculous outfit,

And failing.

But instead, I'm yearning to hear,
Every silent lie that leaves her irresistible lips.

Never let them in.

]]> Manix (Shadow Bred, #1) 58500411 It’s not everyday you get abducted from a strip club in only a thong.

While Naja had dreamed of someone rescuing her from her life, this wasn’t how she thought it would go. Sure, on the surface it was perfect. Her abductors were huge, hot and members of a race of supernaturals that were rumoured to be extinct.

The Manix. Even the name was terrifying.

But someone needed to update their definition of extinct, because they were cluttering up her kitchen, looking at her with desperation that had little to do with sex and everything to do with something more life altering. They insisted she held the key to their survival. They said she was an Omega and they needed to do all sorts of freaky things with her to ensure the continuation of their species.

Naja wasn’t against getting a little freaky, but there was a line a sane person wouldn’t cross, but the Manix? They jumped across that line with rippling abs and both feet.

However, the Manix were the least of her problems right now. Naja’s life was haunted by something worse than the boogeyman; a monster that leaves flowers on her doorstep like he was putting a tribute on her grave.

The Manix may be terrifying, but could they salvation from the very thing that’s chasing her?

Or will they be too late to save the only female Omega they will ever find?

So when I got caught with a cock in my sweatshirt after a police raid on a cockfighting ring, it looked bad. Surely they’d know I was trying to rescue the half-dead rooster, right?

Unfortunately, there was only one person who could bail me out of this situation and it was my stepbrother’s best friend, Truett Heathstone. Which meant he’d tell my stepbrother–who I had a wildly inappropriate crush on� who’d then be obligated to tell my dad and then everyone would find out I was running an unregistered animal rescue out of my stepmother’s multi-million dollar mansion.

And that I’d kind of adopted a homeless man and his service dog.

]]> <![CDATA[The Gods We Obey (The Path of Temptation, #6)]]> 60737080 As priests, we are meant to obey - but our duties are to our gods, not mere men.

Zeal is back, and he's seen by more people every day. The God of Temptation grows stronger, but High Priest Kinen has found the one thing that can stop a god: disbelief. The return of our gods means an end to his power.

And Kinen isn't ready to lose.

Over time, the priests of our temple have surrendered their power in the name of our god. We're trained to obey, to help, and to be Zeal's tools when he cannot help himself - and now that has become a problem.

Because power is given, never taken, and we have surrendered far too much. It's time for things to change, before our complacency destroys our gods. And yet, habits are such hard things to break.

What we need is a rebellion - and I'm going to start it.

Our gods never expected blind obedience, so it's time to give into the temptation to fight back. But will the price for this be more than I can pay? I just can't believe this is what my path was meant for - or is this all just a game between gods and men? Because we, the Priests of Temptation, have been betrayed.

I have prayed.
I have obeyed.
Now I'm doing it my way.

]]> <![CDATA[The Ways We Betray (The Path of Temptation, #4)]]> 56601398 To protect those who matter most, we will betray others in ways we never expected.

This is supposed to be a good year. With a new set of instructors - and ones I know well - I'm sure it will be. For once, things are finally starting to go my way. My mentors are proud, my family is closer than ever before, and I am happy.

Unfortunately, the gods are tired of waiting. Every day, Zeal grows stronger, but Ambition, Inspiration, Perception, Compassion, and Intuition don't. They're fading, with no hope in sight.

Except me.

Piece by piece, my god has built me up, given me "weapons" to use, and made me into the kind of woman I can be proud of. He calls me his partner and that isn't an empty title. It means more than just serving him. I can tell by the longing in his divine eyes.

My success doesn't go unnoticed, though. My haters want to destroy me, but let them try. Petty bullying is too childish for me to worry about. With so many priests able to see the God of Temptation now, I no longer care who likes me and who doesn't.

And that's my biggest mistake.

Because my god doesn't run this temple. He doesn't make the rules. With a single signed paper, I'm no longer as safe as I thought. Friends are going to be betrayed. Lovers will suffer. Somehow, I have to fix this.

I am the Priestess of Temptation, Zeal's chosen.
Someone is going to be punished.
I almost hope it's me.

After spending the holidays with my guardian's family, it seems that everyone in the temple has the wrong idea. The Baron isn't my patron. He's not even a friend. In truth, I hate the man.

But the rumor mill is strong, and jealousy is running rampant.

This is all just one more excuse for my instructors to hold me back, lower my grades, and try to force me to choose one path. I can't! My god needs me to save him, and the Path of Temptation gives me the power to do that.

Except that I'm drowning in the pressure, feeling like I'm failing my god. I need to make people believe in him, but how can I do that when I can't believe in myself? All these mind games are starting to pile up, and it's tearing me apart.

But Zeal is getting stronger.

That's enough to keep me going. No matter how hard they try to push me down, I'll just keep fighting back, learning to play this game better each time. I will not become the victim here, because I'm not doing this alone. My lovers will always stand with me.

But this is not a game.
If we fail, we'll lose everything -
Including each other.

For the last ten years, I thought I was nothing special. I was just another priestess in the Temple of Temptation. One of many. Little did I know that my god has plans for me. He intends to make me powerful.

But what I will become is up to me.

For centuries, things here have always been done the same way - and the gods are now paying for it. Somehow, I'm expected to revive the faith. I'm their last hope, but no one is quite sure how I'm supposed to do that.

That means I'm making this up as I go. My god is begging me to become something new. My temple wants me to respect traditions. My instructors want to force me to follow their rules.

I just want to save my god.

With my three men, I know I'll figure it out. That is not the same as this being easy, though. Even worse, being "special" makes those around me jealous, and giving in to temptation is a part of our nature. When my guardian's family gets involved, things get infinitely more complicated.

The temple wants to break me.
My success or failure depends on the path I choose.
I just hope I find the right one.

I was a child when my father surrendered me to the Temple of All Gods. No one gave me a choice. No one even bothered to explain. I was simply tossed aside, unwanted.

That was the day the God of Temptation claimed me as his.

Now, I'm studying how to become the perfect priestess. Life in the temple means embracing my emotions and learning to harness each type of desire. Power, fear, lust, and rage are the most common, but not the only ones. Each has a power. Each has its place. I just have to figure out which kind of priestess I'll become.

Before I decide, I have questions - yet no one seems willing to give me answers. My only option is to leave it in my god's hands. This won't be easy, and my instructors think I'm a fool, but Temptation has been listening. Asking. Offering it all.

In exchange, he intends to use me.

I have demands. The priest and priestess who took me in have become my family. The guys? They taught me to love. How am I supposed to give this up? Why should I? Not even a god can make me walk away from them! All I have to do is stand my ground.

In this temple, there's always a temptation.
The question is if I'm stubborn enough to resist...
Or brave enough to pay a god's price.


Possible Triggers: Minor bullying, some sexual harassment, consensual pain and battery. Minor violence.

For most of my life, it was always the three of us. Callah, Meri, and me - Ayla. Three girls growing up among those who called themselves the Righteous - but are actually the furthest thing from it. In desperation, I took a risk. One that let me see the truth.

Now my need for revenge is burning inside me.

Meri always tried to be perfect. Obediently, she bent herself to fit the rules, but it was never good enough. She still suffered. Giving up - with nothing left to lose - she tells a single lie.

Little does she know that will light the fuse.

Thankfully, Callah knows how to play the game. I always thought she was the most pious among us, but I was wrong. She learned to manipulate them the same way they tried to do with her.

They tried to tear us apart. They taught us that friendships were wrong, but together we will become stronger than they can imagine. I can't do this on my own - but I don't need to. I have them.

Together, we will make sparks fly, but what price will we pay when everything explodes?

]]> <![CDATA[Fleeing Fate (Hidden Omegas, #1)]]> 59810467
For more than two decades, my entire world was made up of three square miles, buried deep in the woods. The same three people, the same daily routine. Life revolved around trying to keep my mother, brother, and myself safe from my father's "corrections."

When a sudden bout of violence reveals a way out, I find myself speeding towards a new life behind the wheel of a stolen pickup, the bed loaded down with a feral monster that used to be my brother.

Now I'm hungry and lost in a new world filled with dynamics I know nothing about. When the sheriff of a nearby town offers to help, I'm hesitant. He swears his pack of friends, dominant and gorgeous, can help my brother adjust to what he's become. But the longer I spend around them the more I worry accepting their help means I won’t escape their care with my heart and soul intact.

With my past hot on my heels and new threats bearing down, there’s only one question left to answer: am I willing to pay their price, even if it means changing everything I thought I knew about myself?

I thought the woods were my prison.
But what if I was wrong?
Maybe I was hidden for a reason, and I just left behind the only place that was keeping me safe.]]> 423 Sabrina Day Rebecca 4 4.07 2022 Fleeing Fate (Hidden Omegas, #1)

My name is Evelyn Miller, and all I know is pain. I don't know how long I've been in this hell, but I'm not sure how much longer I can last. Nobody has found me, everybody has moved on. Am I ready to move on too, or should I put up one last fight?

It's been 7 years since I last held her.
I still search for her, we all do, but is it already too late? Evelyn has a family waiting for her here; with us. They may have never met her, but I have kept her alive in our home. I hope one day Evie will be able to meet my new family; Amiri, Ryan, and Korren. My name is Nolan Wilson, and I will never move on from my first love.

If you love your men dominating and sweet (and a little bit ridiculous), you will fall in love with Eve's found family. You will find that our main lady is a ball of sass underneath her trauma, and her men work hard to find her fire beneath the ashes.

But it seems the Goddess of Night doesn't love me and my girl as much as I thought she did because just when everything was starting to work out, things get complicated. The paths that were open to Grace continue to close, and the agathos aren’t backing down.

I have a job to do, and I’m not leaving until I’ve done it. If the gods want to take me from Grace, they’ll have to come and claim me themselves.

]]> <![CDATA[Fallen Feather (The Forgotten Angel, #2)]]> 61270021 Names have power. Even awful ones.

I called myself Feather. But really? I was Useless. So I chose to save Sanctuary, though that meant I lost everything: my majestic sheets, my old name, my fudging body� and my sweet, sexy soulmate, Mikhail.

When the super-hot and literally horny Rumple sends me back home, not everyone busts out the confetti. You’d think by sacrificing myself, I would have solved a lot of problems. But I only uncovered more, and made some new, powerful, glitter-hating enemies.

When Protectors start to disappear, I’m stuck wandering through Sanctuary’s basement/sex dungeon to find them� and that’s where I discover a terrible truth. The real danger isn’t on the other side of the Great Gate.

It was inside Sanctuary all along.

##

Fallen Feather is a humorous, steamy romance that ends on a� wait for it…cliffhanger. You need to read Lost Feather first, unless you're into that confused, just-been-reincarnated feeling.
Over the course of the series, the main character will end up happily soulmated with more than one of the guys, and she’ll probably put the moves on a gate. This book is intended for adult readers and contains real and made-up profanity, passing references to SA, a whole lot of demon-on-bad guy violence, some angel-on-angel violence, and a few explicit scenes with more than enough heavenly hotties to go around.

Nameless. Forgotten. Lost on Earth for centuries with a disembodied voice as my only friend. Protecting the vulnerable without any help from above. No one to explain the rules. Nada. Zip. Zilch.

So when High Angelus Gavriel finds me killing a very bad man, can he really blame me? Before I can explain, he drags me back to the place he swears is my home: Sanctuary.

Halfway between Earth and the Celestial Realm, Sanctuary would be paradise if it weren’t for the daily decontamination showers, hours spent carving the murder-marks off my skin to discover my true name, and thousands of prim and proper angels who tell me I stink. Literally.

I’m the dirtiest Protector they’ve ever seen, but I can’t stop fantasizing about Gavriel and his best friends. Those sexy-as-sin High Angeli don’t know what to do with me, but I have a few ideas. I just need to find out my name so they’ll see who I am deep down� even if I have a feeling I’m no angel.

But what happens when my name is revealed� and it’s worse than anyone ever imagined?

Lost Feather is a humorous, steamy romance that ends on a cliffhanger. Over the course of the series, the main character will end up happily soulmated with more than one of the guys.

]]> <![CDATA[Nope, Nada, Never (Three of Me, #1)]]> 59652971 I rely on me, myself and I. It’s the only way I can be sure nothing will go wrong.
Everyone believes we are triplets, and I am happy to let them believe it.

Thanks to the temperamental ancient magic that runs through my veins, I can split myself into three women. Three sides of me, and we don’t always get along.

I’m a one-woman team with quick fingers—I’m talking about being a thief! Get your mind out of the gutter! My boss is the only one who knows my secret. I can’t risk crossing him, so I go where I am told...for now. A girl’s got to do, what a girl’s got to do to survive, right?

If you want something done right, do it yourself. That’s my motto, and it has worked just fine for me…until three sexy werewolves show up and my boss forces me to help them with a mission. Life’s a real kick in the teeth sometimes.
I hope they don’t mind a woman, or women, in charge. I, we, won’t take any crap from these wolves, regardless of how panty-droppingly hot they may be.

They’re quick to start sniffing around, and it doesn’t take long before they get too close to my secret. When our mission goes sideways, and holding my forms becomes a matter of life and death, keeping my secret becomes even more impossible.

If they learn the truth, it could be the end of me. Can I trust them with my secrets…and my heart?

Cinderella had until midnight before everything changed back. I have forty-eight hours to make a decision that’ll change my life forever. No pressure, right?

Three of Me features a strong female main character who has the handy ability to split herself into three bodies and her three fated-mate werewolf shifters. It will steam up your reading glasses with some chapters, and make you snort in laughter in others!

Series Info- NNN is the first book in an exciting new series of a standalones where each book will feature the story a different female main character with the ability to split into three forms, and each book will have a happy ending.

]]> TBR: Dead but Well Read 219439505 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....


Sensitivity Note-
If you’re the type to clutch your pearls while reading spicy romance books� then I suggest you run and grab your necklace, because you’ll be needing it quite a bit 😉.This book does discuss death and dying (yes, I’m aware the title kind of gives that away). While there are definitely sad moments that pull at the heart, TBR takes a humorous approach to the topic—unless we’re talking about Death with a capital D (and a “D� in his pants that only gets hard for his soulmate). He’s no laughing matter, and tends to get violent when Axelle is insulted. TBR includes fight scenes and Axelle is badly injured in one battle.]]> 297 Sedona Ashe 1959688324 Rebecca 5 4.23 TBR: Dead but Well Read

Bound in an unwanted marriage, Freya spends her days gutting fish, but dreams of becoming a warrior. And of putting an axe in her boorish husband’s back.

Freya’s dreams abruptly become reality when her husband betrays her to the region’s jarl, landing her in a fight to the death against his son, Bjorn. To survive, Freya is forced to reveal her deepest secret: She possesses a drop of a goddess’s blood, which makes her a shield maiden with magic capable of repelling any attack. It was foretold such a magic would unite the fractured nation of Skaland beneath the one who controls the shield maiden’s fate.

Believing he’s destined to rule Skaland as king, the fanatical jarl binds Freya with a blood oath and orders Bjorn to protect her from their enemies. Desperate to prove her strength, Freya must train to fight and learn to control her magic, all while facing perilous tests set by the gods. The greatest test of all, however, may be resisting her forbidden attraction to Bjorn.

Stepping into the outside world is terrifying. The fear of speaking, of having a panic attack, of standing out in any way, looms over her. Yet, the unexpected kindness of certain male students and teachers leaves her confused and wary and wishing she could speak.

Why are they constantly by her side? What happens when they find out she’s not 17, but 21? And why was she feeling desire for the first time in her life, and not to just one person, but 7?

]]> The Daymakers 203433591
I was third-generation white trash who had no value to society. That was a direct quote from my guidance counselor, by the way. She wasn’t wrong, not really. My mom had OD’ed and my dad was in prison. I had no one and nothing.

Our paths should never have crossed. But by a weird twist of fate–and the flying fists of my ex-boyfriend–I ended up in the wrong place at the right time. Hiding from my ex beneath a tour bus, I was a convenient solution to an ongoing problem for the tour company.

They needed their band members to stop screwing random groupies and risking the anonymity which brought in millions of dollars for both the band and the label.

I needed to get the hell away from LA and earn enough money to have a fresh start.
I was taking back my future, and if that meant going on tour across the country as a glorified toy for the pleasure of some masked rockstars, then it was my choice.

Unfortunately, the demons of my past weren’t done with me yet.

]]> <![CDATA[Tangled Threads of Fate (Hanging by a Thread, #1)]]> 199970024 You should go to Crete if you want to survive. Amourgeles. They’ll come for you soon.

I’d lived in the city for a long time, and working the drive-thru window of coffee shop meant I’d seen some things. From blowjobs to furries. Sometimes furries getting blowjobs. Let’s face it, no one was at their best when they were uncaffeinated.

So a strange lady with a creepy monotone prediction wasn’t that odd. Normally, I would have just shrugged it off as just another day in Boston.

Except a whole bunch of other weird shit had happened to me in the last three months.

I’d started seeing golden streaks of light. I thought it was a brain tumor, but it turned out to be pregnancy. Didn’t matter that I hadn’t gotten laid in nearly a year after I caught my ex-boyfriend banging his hairy Albanian superintendent.

I’d rationalized the improbability away the best I could. Maybe I was one of those people who sleep walked and had a whole other life at night. Or maybe that one night I went out and got drunk at my co-workers farewell was a little wilder than I remembered.

But it was hard to rationalize away a shadow monster attacking me while I was watching reality television, or that my grumpy neighbor, Nate, grew two feet and killed it with a giant ax that glowed like pure light.

The shadow monsters kept coming. The weird shit kept happening. Eventually, an unexpected trip to the Greek Islands was my only option.

But nothing–not the crazy prophecies to weird shadow monsters–could have prepared me for what I found in Crete.

]]> <![CDATA[A Twist of Luck (Shifter City Fated Mates, #2)]]> 220487284
The day the alphas dragged me to Golden Claw I'd thought my life was over. After years of running from the packs and the shifter cities they ruled over, I finally found myself trapped within their borders.

Trapped and surrounded by my scent matches. My fated mates.

Four, disturbingly perfect alphas, who claimed me as one of their quintet. Despite my determination to keep them at arm's length, and escape the moment the Alpha Council let their guard down� I find myself completely ensnared.

The pack works its way into my life and heart with an ease that should terrify me. They show me the perfection of a bond filled with respect and care, and give me a glimpse of a future I never expected to have.

A future that I’d believed would be my downfall.

When I’m stolen away by the very shifters who destroyed my mom, I find myself fighting to not only protect myself, but also the alphas I’m growing to care about. As more of my past is revealed, and the bond to my pack deepens, I start to question everything I thought I knew about my mom's death.

With enemies surrounding us, I have no choice but to trust in my pack.

Trust and hope that my world is not about to crash and burn around me.

]]> Pay-Per-Heart 146398645 I moved out to LA to participate in a Graphic Design scholarship that turned out to be fake. That was just my luck. But there was no way I could return home. Not to the already disappointed faces of my parents, who have never believed that ‘fiddling around on your computer� was an actual career.


Not back to my friends who thought I was insane for breaking up with my long-term boyfriend to move out here in the first place.


Not back to Georgia, full stop.


So when I saw an advert in the creative pages for a graphic design and video editing job with three social media influencers–room and board included–it seemed too good to be true. It had to be a skeezy porn director trawling for new 'models', right? But I was desperate and I was willing to try anything.


Turns out, I was half right.


They were social media influencers alright, but for ClickHeart, a subscription service where� well� they got naked. A lot. Sure, sometimes Everett cooked (naked) and Harrison did pottery (naked) but Darwin literally just stroked his ginormous� Well, you get the point. After their previous video editor uploaded their stuff to The Hub without their permission, the guys had decided it was necessary to have their own live-in designer. But they wanted a guy. Not a girl who was deceptively named Blake.


It might have been an accident that they invited me to their place for an interview, but they were the stepping stone I needed to stay in LA and finally achieve my dreams. I just had to get real cool with a lot of things real fast. Should be fine, right?

]]> <![CDATA[Séance (A Spirit Realm Novel Book 1)]]> 220187926 Book one in the Spirit Realm Duet...

I see dead people.

While it might sound cool, I can assure you, it’s not. The dead are even bigger assholes than the living.

I learned at a young age to be invisible. Even breathing wrong could set my father off. The beatings have become progressively worse as I’ve gotten older, and I fear I won’t survive to see my eighteenth birthday.

So I plotted my escape, and no one is more surprised that it worked than me!

The outside world is nothing like I expected and comes with its own set of problems—five of them to be exact. The five sexy men next door are flirty and fun, and even better, they know nothing about my past. I’m determined to keep it that way. Unfortunately, the dead won’t stay quiet, and death and destruction shadow my every footstep.

When one of the men stumbles into danger, I have to make the tough decision to reveal my secrets or allow him to suffer for my sins. Just when I think they accept my unique quirks, my past comes back to haunt me…literally. If I can’t learn to master my abilities, none of us will come out of this alive.

Meet the Rue, Hicks, Gunner, Ellis, and twins, Jameson and Jaceson.

It all started with a brutal hill. An incline that I was determined to crest. One, long, punishing climb with my thighs screaming as I pumped the pedals for all I was worth. That hill could have been a metaphor for my whole life. I was climbing out of the crater left by a broken heart, ready to seize control again. Making it up that hill was a good first step.

Then I hit the food truck.

Enter Reese Riley, blond, gorgeous, stunning sapphire eyes and the kind of smile to set my blood on fire. No way he was real. With charm to spare, he walked me home and then asked me out. Then he introduced me to his friends—Briggs, Goran, and Dalton. Stunning men, all of them. Funny, too. They flirted, they teased, and they indulged. They were incredible, each of them, and they fit into my life like they’d been born to be there. I didn’t know whether to celebrate or to run like hell.

Oh, and did I mention they were aliens?

Hot? Check.
Driving my other mates insanely jealous? Check and checkmate!

Xerxes, my dragon mate, has whisked me away to Mexico. He keeps showering me with expensive gifts, breathtaking views, and lavish meals. I’m more of a cheeseburger girl, but I’m not one to complain about food. I just need to learn how to walk in heels without killing myself, again. Been there, done that.

I’ve spent my life trying not to die and failing at it spectacularly. It’s time for me to show them all how tough I really am. Training isn’t easy, but I’m not going to be weak or rely on others to keep me safe. I’m going to protect myself... After I die a few more times, of course. I mean, things change, but do they really?

Things are looking up for me and my mates. Well, everyone except Anzac and Mace. They are working hard to make up for the past, but Imp has it out for them, and her ridiculous pranks are getting out of hand.

What’s coming next, though…isn’t going to be all fun and games. It’s time to pay my parents a visit and get the answers I’m owed. Are they even my parents? Ridgeforce is in shambles and Midnight has put out a contract on our heads. I’m determined, with my mates� help, to take down every person who was involved with both corrupt agencies. Oh, and I still have a curse to figure out.

It’s time to get my big girl panties on, the cheap ones, not the pretty ones that Xerxes bought me…because they’re probably going to burn anyway.

And what if all my training isn’t enough? What if I keep dying? What if a girl can’t catch a break?

I’m just a girl who’s on fire�
Literally, because I’m a Phoenix.

Of course, I’d wind up kidnapped. I thought being kidnapped would be sexy or something. I was dead wrong. Haha, get it?

As if the jungle, viper bites, piranhas, killer bugs and the five sexy dipstick-for-brains I saved weren’t enough, I’m now a captive of some lab coat weirdos in an experimentation facility.

I definitely got the wrong idea of torture from �50 Shades of Grey�. Don’t look at me like that, you read it too!

They seem to be willing to stop at nothing in their effort to break me. But come on, they’re not that creative, just annoying in their determination to figure out how much I can take.

Another rare shifter is being held here. I can feel him. Yep, another freaking mate. In case you haven’t been counting, that makes it six fated mates� sheesh! My five jaguar shifter mates couldn’t seem to make up their minds. Were they happy to have me or desperate to ditch me? I'm not even sure if they are coming to rescue me.

Who did I tick off in the universe to deserve all of this?

No need to send help, because I’ve got this... as soon as I find some clothes.

They are about to find out exactly who and what I really am.

After my plane was sabotaged and crashed into the jungle, I rescued five male survivors from the wreckage.

I could have let them die, but no, I decided to pull their stupid carcasses from the wreckage. I’m immortal, not a monster.

It doesn’t matter since they walked away and left me to die in the Amazon rainforest. A place full of interesting new ways for a klutz like me to die. Surviving the jungle is harsh, but it’s nothing compared to how they have treated me.

And the worst part?

I can’t wait to escape the jungle and leave these guys behind, but another part of me is begging to love them�

Four powerful, mythical men want to claim me as a sweet but possessive light pegasus, a reclusive and scarred bear shifter, a deadly, twisted dark pegasus, and an unhinged imp shifter with a soul as fractured as mine.

They’re everywhere I turn—wanting me, loving me, protecting me—no matter how hard I push them away.

But they don’t understand that I can never be theirs. That I can’t accept our bond, that I can’t accept them.

The night my father orchestrated my so-called “initiation,� something inside me broke. A part of me that can never be mended, no matter how much they try.

I can’t acknowledge our mate bond because I can’t bear to be touched. My choice was taken from me, leaving me broken and shattered, a shell of who I once was. And in my struggle to reclaim my life, the only way I know to protect myself is to retreat.

But when a stalker starts leaving a trail of blood in my name, I’m forced out of hiding and into their arms. My mates want me whole. They can’t accept the pieces I offer—not forever.

It feels easier just to let the darkness consume me.

Don’t Touch is the first book in the Not All Men trilogy. It’s a glacial-burn paranormal why choose romance, that contains possessive men, a snarky, coming into herself heroine, and a familiar world full of shifters, danger and excitement.

I catch a bunch of them red-handed trying to commit treason, and people are still listening to the lies of the remaining ones.

Why do I even bother? Every time they push me too far, the line of what I’ll suffer just gets further and further from what is acceptable. I yell and they don’t listen. I plead with them and they are unmoved. I rationally lay things out and it falls on deaf ears.

So if they’re going to keep acting like children who push their limits and throw fits, I’m going to punish them like a parent should. It’s time to show everyone that they have no chance to control me and the game we’re playing is mine. Maybe then we can actually fix our society and world before we implode.

So I pulled the emergency brake and it’s time for a reset. I came into this world after my power went crazy and I unintentionally hurt people. This was only supposed to be six years I signed on for, and I was promised they’d teach me control so it never happened again.

That promise wasn’t kept.

Again� And it’s not going to be only six years. Not even close.

If people won’t change, I can’t make them. I have to do what I need to for myself and the people I love. With some help, I think maybe there’s a way for me to stop constantly playing defense and maybe even set the record straight on a few things.

That’s the best plan I came come up with since I’m at the eye of the storm. It’s also the last chance I’m willing to take before simply walking away.


Artemis University is an ongoing, hot burning reverse harem, university-age paranormal academy series with darker elements, strong language, violence, and a heroine who follows her own moral compass of what is right� And who she ends up giving her heart to.]]> 304 Erin R.

And it’s killing me.

Nothing is changing for the better, at least not for me. I’m doing so much to change the lives of millions, but there’s no improvement for me.

So many people hate me, want to see me fail or dead that it’s all I see. I can’t get a grip living like this anymore, and no one’s hearing me that I’m serious.

I couldn’t work things out with one mate, and now one is doing everything he can to make me hate him. My guilt that Darby and Hudson have to deal with that is eating me alive.

We fix one problem and five more come up. I could handle that if people worked with me as a team. They don’t see me as one of them, simply a tool for what they want.

They push me much more, and they will have a former heir to Faerie.]]> 300 Erin R. Flynn Rebecca 4 4.57 2021 Absorbing Inevitability (Artemis University, #13)

I simply hate that I am.

Yeah, it’s going that well.

The councils� win might have seemed small, but the ripples from that decision are drowning me at every turn. I can’t endure the bullying and abuse much longer, and I can’t fight back given the situation my people are in.

I’m not sure I care anymore after finding out fairies being awesome was a lie. Most days I struggle to not push them all back in the darkness and live as I want� Because the more of them I free, the more I’m trapped.

Something major needs to change and soon but I don’t know where to start. I can’t get my footing when I’m always at the center of the storm. The hobgoblins are clear that something worse is coming.

I don’t think I have the strength to hold on anymore, and all hope left me after the last tidal wave dragged me under.]]> 237 Erin R. Flynn Rebecca 3 4.57 2021 Multiplying Storms (Artemis University, #11)
