This was an excellent story!

I loved Kallum from the minute he stepped onto the page. He has such a commanding presence in the book and definitely was a force to be reckoned with.

Elena was one of those heroines that you figure from the start, would be very naive and dense but she came of as very strong and in control of herself. I'm so happy she wasn't one of those crying heroines that whines throughout the entire book. Her strength yet ability to yield to Kallum as well as stand up to him was refreshing.

This story is a perfect example of how two broken people, for different reasons, can together become whole! I thoroughly enjoyed their romance and the sweet happy ending they received.

Sav Miller is an awesome writer, and I will definitely read the rest of the books in this series! It was indeed a pleasure!

An easy read.

Nothing spectacular. Nothing jaw-dropping or explosive. The plot was pretty much predictable. The book seemed a bit rushed. Nevertheless, it was what I expected. Happy reading!

OK, Ms. Foss... you have my attention! But, that was a dirty trick!

We are introduced to Astasyia (Stas), a beautiful young graduate student with a strange supernatural past who has memories of her mother and father perishing in a fire when she was young. As an adult, Astasyia has a strange gift of persuasion; she can make people do as she commands through her voice. As it turns out, she's a fledgling (soon to be immortal). The murder of her best friend, Owen, puts her face to face with billionaire, Isaac Wakefield. A flirty, English bachelor with supernatural secrets of his own. As they fight their attraction to each other, they soon uncover a plot that will put both of their lives and the people they love in danger.

Isaac and Stas have chemistry from the minute they appear on page together. I LOVE Isaac! Exuded a sexiness and humor that kept me turning the page. Stas is a strong heroine. And I'm glad she wasn't like most of the heroines I read about who continue to deny the attraction they feel for the Hero, frustrating the hell out of me!

One thing I didn't really understand is why Ms. Foss thought to put another couple at the forefront of Book Two. I must say that I found that a bit of a turn off. Especially, since I didn't really get a chance to develop an affinity for Tom. So, as you could imagine, I really don't care to read his story. But, if I want to get back to the fate of Isaac and Stas, I'm going to have to, aren't I?

Ugh... not fair but, well played.

On to book Two, I go!

Happy reading!

My Heart is Full! Excellent Read!!!

I won't go into details about the book. I don't think I can without giving away the main plot and motivation of both characters. Just be sure to read and pay attention to the triggers before you begin this novel... there are aplenty!

I will say that this was a very emotional yet, satisfying read that will bring tears to your eyes and make your heart soar. It shows that even when dealt the absolute worst hand in life, there is still a wonderful life to be had if you want it bad enough. I found myself rooting and cheering for Darby and Kellum from Chapter One. I'm pretty sure you will, too!

Happy reading!

Book Three was... difficult

Three picks up with Keira's kidnapping from Book Two and a lot of answers are revealed in this book as to who Keira is and her significance. We are introduced to an array of new characters. Lucious as her captor introduces us to Imp, Pipper and Adam (who is a whole other thing all together!). Lucious is holding Keira for hostage until a priceless relic is returned from Dominic. Keira soon finds unlikely allies and complicated relationship with the men in her lives.

I really struggled with this book. Only because I couldn't stand the notion that Keira could have possibly cheated on Draven with her captor. Also, I really didn't like the fact that Aurora was still a factor in their relationship. Draven was even nastier in this book than he was in any of the others. He constantly flip-flopped between being loving and precious with Keira to treating her like a child when she questioned or disobeyed him. What I disliked the most is the fact that Vincent appears to have feeling of love for Keira and she seems to feel something for him in return. Why the triangle?

By the end of all the drama, new alliances were formed, and Keira and Dominic finally found peace with one another... for a while. The stunning cliffhanger knocked me off my feet. I was devastated. I detest books where one of the main characters are killed. I prefer HEAs. I signed up for suspense and intrigue. Maybe a little scary stuff. But, I did not fall in love with Dominic Draven only to have him be killed off.

My reviews for this series started at five stars and sadly, have dwindled down to three. I don't know how many stories in this book have to do with this couple, but this latest chapter has led me to question whether or not to continue this series. I will probably move on to book four. However, if the outcome is the same as where this one left off. There will be no Book Five for me!

This is the second book of the Afterlife series, and I must say that it was... different.

The book continues on with the relationship between Dominic Draven (half demon/angel King) and Catherine "Keira" Williams (the "Chosen One", as we still haven't figured out in this book exactly what that exactly is other than being the ordained mate by the Gods for Dominic). We get more into their courtship and in spite of being "extraordinary" in their significant roles on Earth, go through the same relationship problems every other couple go through.

We are introduced to a few new characters and a few feelings start to reveal themselves from the other characters surrounding their relationship. This adds to the supernatural element of Keira's recurring nightmares about the mysterious Vampire King, Lucious.

While I enjoyed the story immensely, Keira got on my nerves a little but with her inability to look out for her own safety and trust Dominic for at least knowing a little more about the supernatural world than she does. Dominic was a little over the top with his jealousy and was very insecure considering the fact that he was a King and such a petty thing as jealousy of a mortal man seemed out of place and quite frankly, a little ridiculous.

This ended with a cliffhanger and was a good segway into the next book. So, on to Book Three I go!

Happy reading!

A Perfect Ending

This book concludes one of the best Mafia Romance series that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Both characters of Alexius and Leandra grew so much from book one. Their journey was erotic, heartfelt, and most importantly believable.

If you want a complete, emotionally charged, highly erotic mafia romance series, I highly recommend this series.

Happy reading!

Hold on! This is a wild ride...

Wow... where do I begin? This book wasn't easy to get through. Well, at least for me. There were so many envelopes pushed in this story, you would have thought it was the Academy Awards.

We meet Adeline, a indie author who moves into her great-grandmother's house and becomes the object of expert computer hacker, Zade. All it took was one look at Adeline at a book signing for him to realize that he would have her by any means and stop at nothing to make her his and protect her from anyone who would dare hurt her.

There were a couple of moments in this book where I had to trudge through. The line between non-consensual and consensual is totally blurred in this story. So, if you have a problem with that, this is not the book for you. Throughout this book, Zade and Adeline left me frustrated, confused, baffled, and sometimes ashamed for them. The fact that the roller-coaster ride of emotions was so intense, tells that this story will make you feel things and question the very morals you hold in your own life. I want to hate this book, But I simply cannot. It's very well written.

One major revelation that I'm still trying to unpack was Zade's logic in his pursuit of Adeline, which I honestly could not deny held some weight. Ha! How screwed up is that?!

This book ended in a cliffhanger, and I plan on reading the sequel to this story... in a while. I need to absorb what I read and try to wrap my mind around how as risqué as this story is, its dare I say, "romantic"?

Happy reading!

In short... I loved it!

After I read the synopsis of the book, I was intrigued about this "offering". Well, I am happy to report that this book did not disappoint and kept my attention from the first page.

Grace and Lizzie are two best friends who were dealt a horrible hand in life. Both having survived the foster system, they forged a friendship that made them inseparable. Their few years of bliss being roommates and free of their childhood oppressors are rocked when they suddenly find themselves "chosen" due to a long-standing treaty with the werewolves that protect their town from predators such as vampires and witches. Unable to refuse, the two are whisked away from everything familiar and forced to live with the pack as mates forever.

There is alot of sensual energy and while the pack may be werewolves, they are very patient, calm and understanding to the women. Nevertheless, the women are in shock and still adjusting to the men who call them their "mates".

I will definitely read Book Two as I found this story to be very well written and made me want to know the fates of Grace and Lizzie as well as know more about the mysterious wolves, Lev, Dom, Caleb, and their Alpha, Devin.

Happy reading!

Massimo D'Agostino & Cora Balesteri

Massimo D'Agostino and his brothers are definitely a force to be reckoned with. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and was glad that they didn't draw out Massimo's realization and acknowledgement of his feelings for Cora.

Surprisingly, Cora didn't get on my nerves much. Oh, trust me, she did! But I was more interested in the brothers and their saga. A good book and I highly recommend.

Happy reading!
