He desires the darkness I hid.

He noticed my fake smiles.

He watched me as I fell apart.

The spark between us should’ve been enough.

Sarge, the faceless man, protects me in a way I’ve never experienced before. But I’ve made mistakes. Unforgivable mistakes that hurt the people I loved the most. Time and time again, I try to atone for my sins by giving pieces of myself away—until there is nothing left.

Sarge can see me. The real me. He isn’t disgusted by my past, instead he makes it his mission to mend the fragments of my soul. This amazing man, who hides his scarred body from the world, is the only one who can understand my struggle. But he has demons in his past that force him to push me away, igniting consequences we never saw coming.

He was trying to save me, but it might be too late.

My fate was his damnation.

But he chose me anyway.

Now we’ll both burn in the flames.

This week I'm eagerly waiting on the next book on a new darker fantasy Romance. 

Prince of the Undying 

by Karen Kincy 

Dark Fantasy Romance 

Expected Publication Jan 13th 2024

Synopsis 

He’s a necromancer. An abomination. And he’s my ruin.

When I hunt down the Prince of the Undying, he’s bleeding out on the battlefield. His forbidden magic violates death itself. With his bare hands, he can revive corpses and command the dead.

After I save his life, he falls to one knee and swears undying loyalty to me.

We should be enemies, but he's mine now.

He should be untouchable, but I can't stop touching him.

Every time I do, the cold fire of his necromancy tingles over my skin. It’s impossible to deny my fascination with him. Maybe there’s more than magic between us.

Heartbreakingly beautiful, he has haunted eyes that betray painful secrets in his past. Once, he was royalty. Now, he has fallen from grace into darkness.

He taunts me, telling me he hasn’t defiled me yet. I refuse to confess the truth: that's exactly what I want from him.

In hockey and love, timing is everything …

Emmett “Coop” Cooper is the star captain of the Boston Bruins. But off the bench, he’s hiding a secret that could jeopardize everything he’s worked for. As a gay man and a virgin, he’s chosen to live his life in the closet, afraid of how the hockey world might react. However, one night, while visiting family out of town, everything changes when he meets a guy at a bar with a captivating smile he can’t ignore.

Ford Mahoney is a recent college graduate with a haunted past. After destroying his relationship with a fellow student, he escapes from Boston after graduation to mend his broken heart. A chance encounter with a famous hockey player sparks hope of a fresh start, but when Ford learns Coop is friends with his ex’s new man, he keeps Coop in the dark, leaving the fate of their relationship on thin ice.

Review 

I received Summer Sparrow in return for an honest review from the author.

Rylee is forced to leave Eden heading with her sister into the vipers den her fathers home while the Jackals figure out their next move in the plan to take down the mining company once and for all. However, they are forced to seperate and Colton is blackmailed into working for one of the former members to protect Rylee and his brothers. Will they stop it before it's to late? 

I loved Rylee and Colton they have overcome over the course of this book. I love all of the Jackals as well as Holly they have special places in my heart for the whole crew. I love the connection between Rylee and Colton even when they are apart the connection is undeniable.  We've also got dual point of view so we can see both of there stories at they are apart. 

First off let's talk about how amazing this cover is it's just stunning one of my favorite covers. I really enjoyed Summer Sparrow it pulls out all the emotional feelings I found myself blushing and tearing up a few times. The author has created a beautiful story that captured my heart and my soul. The characters are engaging and I was able to connect with them all. 

I ended up devouring Summer Sparrow in just 24 hours it was hard to put down and I had to know what would happen next to Rylee and Colton. This is a powerful story filled with tough situations, emotions just the right amount of spice and a story that will blow your mind. I loved September Doves it's one of the best books I read in 2023 but this one was even better. The author has a gift for storytelling and I can't wait to see whats up next. My only complaint is that it's over. I want more I'm not ready to say goodbye to my favorite characters. 

Book Review: Kidnapped by the Krampus

Synopsis

Tis the season for spice...and a little Krampus magic!

Is Krampus real?

TWYLA

That's the question burning in my investigative journalist mind as I sneak into Krampus World to learn the truth about the eccentric CEO who always wears the monstrous holiday costume. I'm definitely making the naughty list for this.

After sharing a drink with the mysterious and quiet CEO, the last thing I expect is waking up with no clothes in the most beautiful winter castle. This horned heartthrob billionaire kidnapped me!

Despite the language barrier, I soon learn that his punishments are hot enough to melt the North Pole. And there are far worse things than being treated like a Christmas princess in a Yuletide-themed castle.

As I unwrap the layers of this hooved and horned enigma, I suspect the monster may be as real as Rudolph's red nose! And I might be falling for him faster than Santa coming down the chimney.

Well.... Monster romance is trending after all!

KRAMPUS

Don’t show them your tongue.

Don’t growl.

Don’t urge them to check your body for some nonexistent zipper.

Don’t wag your tail.

Don't show them how well you dance in hooves.

After a century of failures to find true love, Twyla is my last chance to break the curse before the clock runs out. I will do whatever it takes to keep my little star, my light in the darkness. It turns out this naughty girl may love my monstrous punishments and the magic of my realm.

It's not long before Twyla tangles around my heart more than twinkle lights. But can she believe a monster is her happily ever after? Will she save me from my icy fate?

Or am I doomed to be the demon of Yuletide with a frozen heart forever?

From bestselling author Emily Shore comes a romantasy that will give you all those Hallmark feels with a sack full of spicy surprises. A Christmas kidnapping never felt so dark and enchanting—or so cozy. Get ready for a rollercoaster sleigh ride that'll have you believing in holiday miracles and a mischievous monster you'll be dying to get under the mistletoe!

Review 

Twyla has made her own angel costume and ventured into Krampus World determined to learn the truth about the billionaire who wears the Krampus costume. Krampus is hoping that this time he will find true love, and that Twyla will be the one to save him. Will this unlikely couple find that monster romance is all the rage and save Krampus? 

I just loved Twyla right from the start I found her easy to connect with and she's such a great complement for our Krampus. Krampus is perfect he's so not what you expect he has layers and i just loved him so much he stole a little piece in my heart. Actually they both did they are one of my all time favorite monster couples. 

First off can we talk about how beautiful that cover is?!?!?! I'm just a tiny bit obsessed it is just so gorgeous. Kidnapped by the Krampus is a fast paced steamy whirlwind monster romance that kept me hooked till the very last page. I loved every moment of Twyla and Krampus's love story it's a perfect woven story with just the right amount of spice! The spice is sizzling I was reading in public and I'm pretty sure my cheeks were bright red. However, I couldn't put it down and I ended up devouring it in less than 24 hours.  

The story is a beautiful Christmas romance with engaging characters, twists and turns that kept me on my toes to the very end. Emily Shore has done an amazing job creating a complex that captures my imaginations and characters that captured my heart. I loved every moment of Kidnapped by Krampus. This is perfect for fans of monster romance and happy ever afters. Highly recommend one of my favorites of 2024. Yes eggnog has a new meaning for me but it will forever be how I think about it. I just loved it so much!!!
