She stole my birthright, so I’ll claim her by any means possible.

I’m no longer heir to the Belyaev crime family fortune.

The second half of my treacherous heart.

The key to my future as the most powerful man in the city.

Our love is forbidden fruit. Zenya burns from the shame of wanting me,

She thinks one taste is enough for me after wanting her all these years?

Princess, I’m only just getting started.

MY OPINION

Villainous, violent, and viciously dirty.

Russian mafia meets obsessed alpha male with a decadent twist.

I wasn't sure about the theme at first, and I'm not going to say it's just easily forgettable. Far from it, the slightly incestuous link between the characters is at the core of this novel. It is its juice. Yeah, it's that naughty.

The forbidden and the crossing of lines are fundamental pillars of the appeal for readers who feel titillated by the walk on the knife edge. Uncle Kristian and his niece make a powerfully charged couple.

What I like the most about this novel is that it is not straightforward. Even the timeline is zigzagging from the start, which I believe adds depth to the plot and layers to the characters' relationship. Also, the sheer hotness of their interactions is magnificent. There's evolution in the characters, too. They act according to their experiences as they fight enemies, betrayal, power dynamics, forbidden lust, and a bond that defies age, family and law.

So it's this man against the world when it comes to claiming a mafia empire on the brink of disaster and the mafia heiress who can rule them all. I loved that she doesn't make it easy for him, that there's this deep need between them despite the mistrust and the taboo.

What about his penchant for blood? Wow, that man is a god of wrath! He knows how to exact revenge in the name of his beloved alright. Some scenes are creepy :-D

The story reaches a point where it tanks into a blood slash lust fest, where the protector goes quite insane in his crusade to claim his queen. I't entertaining, don't get me wrong, but I enjoyed it more when the couple leaves their frenzy behind and concentrate more on power, family and relationships. The final part is full of danger and emotion, and luckily happiness, too.

Mirror, Mirror, who is The Other Belle?

 Hi, book buddies, I'm back witht his book because it releases today and I'm reading it! Soon, I'll let you know my feelings about it.

Update: read and enjoyed! See below for my thoughts.

The Other Belle

Author: Whitney G. 

Publication Date: November 4th, 2022

Genre: Fantasy Romance, Steamy Fairy Tale 

Cover Design: Qamber Designs

WHAT IS THIS BEAUTY ABOUT?

The 'tale as old as time' has always been a lie...

 

There was no such thing as a "beautiful girl who stumbles into

an enchanted castle and falls for a beast."

My older sister is a liar, and she's always been far more calculated than that.

 

I don't blame you for buying into her compelling fairytale, though.

She's always been an incredible storyteller.

 

Truth is, deep in The Whispering Woods, far past the Seven Sinful Kingdoms, several secrets

remain untold. They’ve lain dormant for centuries, protecting the true hero of this story,

a dominant "villain" destined for Hell...

 

Until now, until me.

The other Belle...

MY OPINION

I'm always titillated by a retelling, especially if it's romantic and a bit steamy. I was not expecting this provocative, sarcastic twist from this author. It's mind blowing! Full of mystery, mischief, and lots of references to fairy tale characters and stories. 

It was never what I expected, that's what I liked the most. The heroine is a mix of damsel in distress and foul-mouthed rebel. Also, the hero is someone far more fetching than the usual Prince Charming. I loved him. Though he's a bit of a dark hero, to be sure. Maybe the relationship is tending towards teasing and non-consent, yet the chemistry is intense. I was totally hooked on the enigma surrounding the male character and how it was pulling everyone to a dark fate.

The humorous banting between the main characters is very entertaining, and the final chapters mimic the ending of Beauty and the Beast with quite a few twists. Though I still prefer contemporary romance books from this author, this story is fun and witty.

Hi, book buddies ☺ The world is still a scary, challenging place. We can still find hope in good people and inspiration in good books.

ASHER IS HERE

Title: Asher

Series: Ashes & Embers #6

Author: Carian Cole

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: June 3, 2020

Blurb

I should have died.

I should have been forgotten.

But I didn’t, and I wasn’t.

Living the life most women only dream about, I was madly in love with my soulmate—Asher Valentine—amazing husband, loving father, and rock’s favorite kick-ass front man. A man who loved me every day, in every way, since we first met as teens. We were blessed with a beautiful daughter who was the light of our life. My all-female rock band was tearing up the charts.

Then tragedy struck, and I lost it all.

Now all I have is a stack of journals, an antique key, and a big black void where my memories should be.

Used to be.

And I have him—this man with wild hair, tattoos from head to toe, a soft voice, and an even softer touch that gives me butterflies. He’s clearly hopelessly in love with his wife.

I’m told that’s me.

But that wife is gone, and she took everything they once had, leaving me in her place.

A broken replacement. A new version that doesn’t quite fit.

I’m slowly falling in love with him, but will he ever truly love me? Or will he forever be in love with her, the phantom woman who haunts us both?
