Kaden claims that he is her fated mate.

The reason for Kaden’s exile from the Demon world is no secret: he beheaded his own king. The one thing that makes his exile bearable is being close to Tegan. When Tegan returns he knows he finally has his chance to make her his, but two people stand in his way: Lucius and Tegan’s brother, Zaaren.

The war rages on. With the rumor that someone has raised the Father and the Originals showing signs of waking, the bloodshed will only get worse.

Author: Clarissa Wild
Genre: Adult Dark Suspense
Published: July 19th 2014





*Author Note: This is not your average romance story. Some people will kill for love.*

He’s come to kill me.

I’m a user and abuser of my own body. In my darkest hour I sold my soul to the devil and now I must pay the price. With his gun to my head I have no choice but to listen and obey, but I refuse to go down easily. Nothing is stronger than the will to survive. My instincts kicked into full gear the second he stepped into my motel room.

Except when I look at him I see my own heart staring back at me. A history tainted by blood.

I don’t know his name, but I know he wants me. To save myself I’ll sacrifice my sanity. My body. My soul. Something tells me the x-shaped scar that marks his eye is the only escape I have. He is Mr. X: the man who comes to claim my life. Can I save myself before he demands my heart?

WARNING: This book contains very disturbing situations, dubious consent, breath deprivation, strong language, drugs and alcohol, and graphic violence.

What can I say but wow! Mr X is an intense and dark kind of read, as we get inside the mind of a killer. Although this is kind of a romance story, it takes you into some dark places that will have you gasping. The sex scenes are dark, mixing pleasure and pain, and you are wanting to unravel the story line and figure out the client. I was sucked in from the beginning, wanting to know more about how Mr X and Jay crossed paths to begin with and how they get through this situation.

All Broke DownTitle: All Broke Down
Author: Cora Carmack
Series: Rusk University #2
Genre: NA Contemporary Romance
Published: October 28th 2014





In this second book in New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Cora Carmack’s New Adult, Texas-set Rusk University series, which began with All Lined Up, a young woman discovers that you can’t only fight for what you believe in . . . sometimes you have to fight for what you love.

Dylan fights for lost causes. Probably because she used to be one.

Environmental issues, civil rights, corrupt corporations, and politicians—you name it, she’s probably been involved in a protest. When her latest cause lands her in jail overnight, she meets Silas Moore. He’s in for a different kind of fighting. And though he’s arrogant and infuriating, she can’t help being fascinated with him. Yet another lost cause.

Football and trouble are the only things that have ever come naturally to Silas. And it’s trouble that lands him in a cell next to do-gooder Dylan. He’s met girls like her before—fixers, he calls them, desperate to heal the damage and make him into their ideal boyfriend. But he doesn’t think he’s broken, and he definitely doesn’t need a girlfriend trying to change him. Until, that is, his anger issues and rash decisions threaten the only thing he really cares about, his spot on the Rusk University football team. Dylan might just be the perfect girl to help.

Because Silas Moore needs some fixing after all.

I reviewed this book late last week and I absolutely loved it. All the Slater boys are delish, and Alec is too. This was a sweet moment between him and Keela.


I carefully crawled over to him then straddled his body and placed my hands on his warm cheeks and brought my head down to his. I looked into his blue eyes and I rested my head against his and inhaled his scent. 
"We're real," I whispered then covered his mouth with mine. I kissed him with every fibre in my body to show him how much he meant to me. 
I felt my tears fall as I kissed Alec, they ran down to my mouth and blended into our kiss. Alec passionately kissed me back, and if he'd had the use of his hands, I knew he would be holding me tightly to him.

Review ~ Red & Wolfe, Part I by Ella James

Red & Wolfe, Part I (Red & Wolfe, #1)Title: Red & Wolfe, Part I
Author: Ella James
Series: Red & Wolfe #1
Genre: Erotic Romance
Published: May 5th 2014








When Sarah "Red" Ryder loses her job as an art critic for a Boston newspaper, she's brokenhearted. Worse than that? She's broke. Her boyfriend recently left her - for a tatted-up hottie with a dick - so she's stuck paying her hefty apartment rent alone. After two months unemployed, there's no money left. With no immediate family to turn to, Red reaches out to her estranged grandmother, a reclusive writer living on an island off the coast of Charleston. Several days later, Red receives $30,000 and an invitation to visit.

James Wolfe is not Red's grandmother. But he beckons her. Red has the ability to give him something he needs. He won't take "no" for an answer, and he doesn't mind screwing her over. He lost his conscience six years ago, when he was tried for the murder of his wife. Since then, life is about him - and the paintings he does under the mysterious pseudonym "W."

Wolfe needs the island to keep painting. To live his life away from prying eyes. To keep up the anonymity of "W."

Once he sees Red, he finds that he needs her, too. And Wolfe will have her. Any way he can.

**The story of Red & Wolfe will be told in four novellas.

Firstly, thanks you to my friend Brandee @ Bookworm Brandee for twisting my arm to get me to try this serial!! I have read her reviews and I know how much she loves work by Ella James. This is the first part in the Red & Wolfe serial, based on the Little Red Riding Hood tale, and I thought it was a great beginning to the serial. I learned so much about both characters: what their demons and hurdles are and also a bit about their personalities.

This series has quickly become one of my favourite reads! The Slater boys are hilarious and their Irish gals are just as amusing! You should get onto this series too, you won't regret it.

Title: Alec
Author: L.A. Casey
Series: Slater Brothers #2
Genre: NA Contemporary Romance
Published: August 17th 2014





Keela Daley is the black sheep of her family. She has always come second to her younger cousin Micah. Even in the eyes of her mother, Micah shone bright, and Keela faded to black. Now, in adulthood, Micah is a bride-to-be and the spotlight is solely on her. Keela is a low priority…or so she thinks.


Alec Slater is a bachelor, never one to bed the same woman, or man, twice. He is a free agent who does what he pleases and answers to no one; that is until a fiery Irish redhead with a temper to match her hair colour knocks him on his arse. Literally.

She hates to admit it, but Keela needs a favour from the cocky Slater brother, a huge favour. She needs him to not only escort her to Micah’s wedding, but to also pose as her boyfriend. Alec agrees to help Keela, but has certain conditions for her to abide by. He wants her body and plans to have it before anyone can say I do.

What he doesn’t plan on is losing his heart as well as the possibility of losing his family when someone from his past threatens his future.

Alec owns Keela, and what Alec owns, Alec keeps.

I have just loved reading about the Slater brothers and the Irish girls that capture their hearts. All the stories I have read so far are quite amusing and the banter between all the characters cracks me up. Alec and Keela were just as entertaining as well and their story was a pretty entertaining ride.
