AUDITION is a thing of beauty

Hi, book buddies :-) I'm back with a beautiful book and another photo I took of it. I can’t help myself 😂

AUDITION is Sky Warren's new book and it's related to the North Security trilogy. Let me tell you all about it...


MY OPINION

The allure of a dark hero is never manifested more artfully than by one of my favourite authors, and this time she has added a partner in crime.

As a fan of the North Security trilogy, this spin-off about Bethany and Joshua was a must for me. 

The threatening atmosphere is counterbalanced by a simmering sensuality, an intimacy of the words that tell a tale of woes and brilliance. 

This exciting couple has doom stamped all over them. The little ballerina is strong-willed, has a grandma who reads Tarot, and a penchant for the Big Bad Wolf. The bad boy himself has a long list of sins to atone for, including corrupting this beauty despite his inner turmoil. The sharp balance he keeps between tempting her and denying himself is a delicious torture for everyone! 

An obscure danger acts as a pillar for the characters to reunite after a tumultuous past that is disclosed in alternating chapters. The main plot, however, is this electrified tension of lust and need and impossible promise between them.

I always turn jelly and flustered and completely awed when the characters finally succumb to passion by the words of this author. This is no exception. It's like Josh and Bethany know that fate won't give them a chance, but they auto-destruct in one combustible embrace anyway. The best part is that it happens after a chapter where Josh proves how terrible he is, yet how utterly besotted too. That was a painful moment, truly physical, followed by that intimacy we've been craving which proves to be dangerous and powerfully lurid. 

The sheer magnitude of their love shows in all its terrifying glory when danger finally leaps onto Bethany. That was fast, furious, and defining. I have to admit Joshua is one stubborn dark hero, edging on hateful. He lashes out until the very last minute, but he's encountered the queen that will tame his wild nature. I loved all the dancing references and performances, the strength Bethany wields against all kinds of fear, and this crooked romance finally ending with a beautiful sense of hope and courage.

I wish the plot were more fully developed as it seems shortened and worthy of a longer life, but the words and the feelings they evoke are so precious that I have to give this book my all.

Standing ovation.

Favourite quotes: 

Is this love? It feels like death.

I want to yank the storm out of him.

Love. Forgiveness. If those things are possible, then everything is.

ENJOY AN EXCERPT 

I open the door, expecting to see a couple of rough-hewn bastards fighting or training. They might even take a swing at me. We’re all a bunch of army bastards, more comfortable using our fists than our words.
Instead I’m struck by the sight of a body in motion, but not in violence.
She’s dancing. Grace. Strength. And completely inappropriate to this place—desire. It’s nothing so base as tits and ass, though I’m sure hers are lovely. No, it’s the sweep of her calf and the indent at her waist. The lift of her chin.
I could not be more shocked if I had been punched. Or shot.
It feels a little bit like being dunked in lava, watching her dance. I’m immobile in the doorframe of the warehouse. My sanity is one step behind me, utterly gone. I’m seeing visions. She can’t be real. I don’t even want her to be real. This kind of beauty doesn’t belong in the goddamn gutter. A pale pink leotard against the dinge-dark hollow. Satin ballet shoes pushing into the dirt. Slowly, very slowly, my sluggish mind searches the perimeter. Alone. We’re alone. If anyone had wanted to shoot me, they’d have had plenty of time. An eternity while I’d been staring.
Her spin slows, like a top that’s run out of momentum. Dark eyes meet mine. Surprise. A flash of something else—anger. She drops to flat feet. No longer a goddess, a blur. She becomes a woman. “No,” she says. Then again, “No,” with such force I glance behind me in case someone’s charging at her wielding a knife. The shipyard is empty. It’s only my company she’s objecting to.
Well, you can’t fault her for taste.
“Normally I have to say something for women to hate me,” I say, strolling into the warehouse, pretending my heart doesn’t thud at the sight of her lithe body. Pretending my cock isn’t a breath away from rock-hard. “I have to say something about their tits or their ass.”
Her eyes narrow, but she doesn’t seem particularly shocked by my crude language. No, she wouldn’t be. Not in this place. She would have heard much worse. “I told him no more guards.”
“You told who?”
“Who else?” she says. “Your boss.”
My boss? I work for the US government. My job is to drive around godforsaken deserts and pray I don’t get blown up by a bomb buried underground. If I play my cards right, I might move into special operations. That’s what was implied before I went on leave. Go along with what Caleb Lewis offers. Collect information. Report back.
It’s a chance to be somewhere other than the bottom rung. Maybe the only chance I’ll ever get. Which means I have no business being interested in this girl. She probably isn’t even eighteen. “My boss,” I repeat, my voice flat.
“Isn’t that why you’re here? To guard me?”
“Why don’t we do this—you dance again. I’ll stand here, but if anyone attacks you, I’ll just let them have at it. No bodyguards for you.”
She’s not amused. “The guards aren’t there to protect me. You’re here to keep me in the warehouse or keep me at home. Make sure I don’t wander away. Make sure I don’t talk to anyone.”
“You’re talking to me.”
“You tell Caleb we had a deal. And it doesn’t include some—” Her narrowed gaze sweeps down my body, as if she’s only now noticed that I have a body. “Some overmuscled asshole on steroids.”
I put my hand over my chest. “Direct hit. I’m wounded you think I’d resort to steroids. These muscles were earned the old-fashioned way, thank you very much.”
She snorts, which somehow sounds feminine and delicate. “I’m sure you do much worse things than steroids. And there is no way, absolutely no way, that you’re going to be my new guard, so tell Caleb he can forget it.”
“Would it put your mind at ease to know he didn’t send me?” Though I’m curious how he’s connected to her. We enlisted at the same time. Went through basic at the same time. We’ve never been close, really. When we both had leave, I was surprised he offered for me to hang out with him in New Orleans. I accepted because I have nowhere else to go. At the time I had no idea that I’d be approached by some special department to gather intel for them. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out Caleb’s into some bad shit.
“Right,” she says, unconvinced. “So you’re standing in the one warehouse that doesn’t contain anything illegal because…?”
“Total coincidence. I was looking for the illegal stuff.” Which means I have no business staying to chat with this woman, no matter how compelling she looks with that notch between her eyebrows. She looks goddamn fierce. “Honestly.”
A roll of her eyes. “Tell my brother he doesn’t need to waste time and energy watching me. I’m staying out of trouble.”
Her brother. Jesus. If she’s Caleb Lewis’s sister, then she’s not staying in trouble. It won’t be a clean shot that brings him down. It’ll be a grenade launcher that hits him—metaphorically speaking. Or literally speaking. Everyone in his vicinity will end up in jail or dead. That’s inevitable.
And she’s right here.

Fancy a Royal Rogue?

Hi, book buddies ☺ It is always a good time to rub elbows, or something else, with royalty. Right? 

TRR - RB banner.jpg

The Royal Rogue, 
a full-length contemporary standalone romance from New York Times bestselling author Karina Halle is Live!

The Royal Rogue AMAZON.jpg

Every family has a black sheep – even the royal ones.
In the royal family of Denmark, that black sheep is me. To the public I’m known as Princess Stella, but I feel anything but royal. As a single mom, divorcee, social outcast, and forever forgotten about under the magnetism and power of my older brother, King Aksel, I’m used to being an outlier. Though it doesn’t matter when my whip-smart nine-year old daughter, Anya, is my whole world anyway.
Then that world of mine gets turned upside down.
I meet Prince Orlando of Monaco, whom the media has dubbed “The Royal Rogue” for many good reasons. I can’t stand that arrogant smirk on his face, the lewd words that leave his lips – pretty much everything about him. I especially can’t stand how infuriatingly sexy he is and how he manages to get under my skin like no one else.
It’s been a long time since a man could make me feel that way, so you can’t really blame me for throwing my willpower out the window and succumbing to a brief but torrid affair with him, full of hot, dirty sex and nothing else.
Until that nothing else turns into something more, in the form of a big surprise.
I thought I got that wicked royal rogue out of my system but there’s a link between us now that neither of us can ignore.
A baby.

We knew THE SECOND WE MET

Hi, book buddies :-) It has to be impossible to forget this enticing cover, right? Well, here he is with the whole book. It's out! 😉💖


MY OPINION
Fun and catchy.

Enemies to lovers new adult romance with atomic quarrels and sassy exchanges. The comebacks and banter between the characters were some of the best things of the story. 

Elle and Nix are college students about to graduate, they live in front of each other and seem to be opposites in personality. They clash at first with very entertaining results. He's the football star with a controlling father and she is a driven student hurting with trust issues.

There's a lot of room dedicated to football glorification and friendly gatherings. Even one emerging story for the future between a shy baking- obsessed girl and her handsome neighbour. 

I enjoyed Nix’s relationship with his grandfather and Elle's determination to carve a future for herself by studying hard and doing good things like volunteering. That is another great part of the book as this impossible couple's relationship develops around volunteer work. It's really engaging, especially because of their respective reasons to be doing that. Hot chemistry abounds as well as some hiccups in their trust.

It felt original how football fame, appearances and betrayal all mix together in one non-stop realistic experience. The heartbreak goes hand in hand with how much they come to understand and love each other, and the big ugly things hitting them at the end work in tandem to make an intense climax of the story. 

Camaraderie, a heart to heart reconciliation, and unexpected plans for a new kind of future fill the last chapters. And I am proud of these two characters. They have overcome their own obstacles and found love and passion in the process.

Now let's get ready for Beck and Jules. That story is going to be so good!

WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?

Dear Jerk Across the Street, sorry for accidentally walking in on you and catching an eyeful of your—equipment. And hard pass on the open invitation to join you in the shower “anytime”, A-hole. 

That’s the note I should’ve written. Instead I sent a pleasant and apologetic version. 

Had I known Phoenix “Nix” Russo would’ve been the neighbor from hell, I’d have told him right where he could shove my words. 

Nix is the big man on campus with everyone lined up at his games to make sure he knows it. Sure, he’s got piercing green eyes, abs that don’t quit and a smile that could set fire to a set of panties from a hundred yards away, but he’s also the biggest pain in my ass.

Dear Pink-Haired Menace, learn how to take a joke and stop being such a kill-joy...
Elle Masterson called the cops on one of my parties—again. My sweet talking usually gets me out of trouble, but this time it got me into a nice pair of silver handcuffs. Now I’m on a reputation rehab tour with a stop at a spring break community service project. 

Guess who’s my new boss? 

Now we’re shoulder to shoulder, sweaty, tired and…she’s not anything like I expected. There might just be a heart under that hardass exterior. She’s invading my dreams and I can’t shake the feeling she’s the key to unlocking a piece of me that I’ve hidden away. 

It’s only a matter of time until she finds out why I’m really here.

Maybe I can break through her walls and into her heart before that happens...one screw at a time.

HERE IS AN EXCERPT!

“I’ve missed this,” he whispered against my lips.
“Me too.”
His fingers tightened around the hair at the base of my neck. Tilting my head to the side, he ran his lips over my skin, sending shivers down my spine.
One second we were standing in the middle of the pitch-black room and the next the whole world tilted. I landed against Nix’s solid chest.
“Are you okay?” I tried to push myself up.
He tightened his hold around me. “The stress balls, sweatpants, and t-shirts cushioned my fall.”
“Thank you for today.” I peppered his jaw with kisses.
“Thank you for letting me do this for you.” The outline of his erection pressed against the front of my mound. Just one inch higher…
He wrapped his hands around my waist and lifted me, perfecting the angle.
I shuddered and ground my hips against him. Someone walked by the door, but we didn’t stop—couldn’t stop.
His hands cupped my ass, dragging me harder against him. The texture of his jeans added extra sensation against my clit. I was on fire for him through two layers of clothes.
My short gasps and his low groans were the only sounds in the room other than the fabric friction.
“We should get back out there.” I raked my teeth along the side of his neck.
“You’re probably right.” His hips shot up and I wanted to scream in frustration that he wasn’t inside me, but I didn’t want to break from the thrumming pleasure rushing all over my body.
“In a second.”
“In a minute.” His tongue danced with mine in time to the rhythm of our hips. Laughter rang out in the hallway behind the door, but I couldn’t stop. If someone came in, there wasn’t anything that would stop me from dry-humping Nix into next week.

Romance is ALWAYS WITH YOU

Hi, book buddies :-) It's the end of another wonderful series by Layla Hagen, but I'm sure there will be more good books to come. For now, let's enjoy this lovely romance. 


MY OPINION

Lovely couple. What a pleasure it is for me to read another story in this family, cousins to the beloved Bennets. I have read and loved all. 

This time, we meet a very private and handsome man, Reid, owner of a successful hotel. I enjoy this kind of setting immensely, I don’t know why but I find it exciting. Hailey, the heroine, is a joyful and driven woman who manages reputations on social media. I also find it captivating the reason why they meet as a result of a scathing vendetta from his former girlfriend. Now Hailey has to clean his image by using the truth of his innocence in a wise manner. 

Of course, the chemistry is wild between them as they work together. And it's not easy due to the fact that he is very hermetic and a kind of Mr Darcy at first. Oh, the passion is beautiful because he is real and intense with her and selfless, and I loved how he is with her. The poor man is still traumatized by the betrayal of his ex, but feels rejuvenated by Hailey's caring and open nature. So pretty.

The lively dialogues give me so much good energy. They're full of joy, tease and sexiness. The Connors together are a force to be reckoned with, all warmth and sass. I enjoy the family dinners, and this time we add Reid's family to the pot. The scenes with his younger sister Bianca are cute . I always look forward to the conflict in every LH's romance. What form will it take?  What life lesson will it hide? In this case, it preys on the couple's insecurities as well as the ugly aftermath of public scandal. Well played. 

Fortunately, the reconciliation is romantic, sweet and enough of a grand gesture to be satisfying. And the emotional epilogues are so good. Another wonderful story to cherish.


 – ALWAYS WITH YOU releases September 10th –



What is this beauty about? 

Ruling his LA hotel empire through determination and hard work, Reid Davenport is a mystery to many. Despite the media’s interest in him, Reid steers clear of the limelight--until his life is broadcast in the tabloids, endangering not only his privacy, but that of his parents and his little sister.

He’d do anything to protect them…except listen to the fiery and intelligent PR pro, who's as beautiful as she is tempting.  Every time she walks into his office, he fantasizes about bending her over his desk and kissing her. Every time she smiles at him, he wants to pull her closer and not let go.

Hailey Connor doesn’t take on uncooperative clients. But the second she meets Reid, she’s compelled to stay and help, even if she must fight his  own broody ass to do it. He’s bossy, demanding and so sinfully alluring that she knows she's in over her head. Reid may be infuriating, but when he talks about his family, she can’t help but melt a little.

With every kiss, they grow closer. With every touch, they fall deeper. They’re opposites…yet perfect matches. But when their different worlds collide, will it tear them apart or bring them together?

Giving him the right BAIT

Hi, book buddies :-) Madison Faye is back! I am so excited :-D And she's coming back with a vengeance with the Winchester Academy series. 


MY OPINION of BAIT

Half the book is this insane hotness that never ends. Only to take a little breath into dating territory before plunging right back into dirty action again 😂

Yes, this is what it looks like, a filthy age-gap fantasy that plays with the taboo of professor and student in lust. The clock ticks to midnight, she's legal, and all hell breaks loose when these two just devour each other’s bodies for hours. Wow, I melted from the heat! 

Actually, there’s some insta-love and surprising little plot twist at the end that really pumps up the style in this absolutely naughty, teasing, dripping wet short story. Scorching-hot start to a very provocative series.


There’s bad, and inappropriate, and scandalous, and wrong.

And then there’s giving your virginity to your gorgeous and dominant high school government Professor, on his desk, five minutes after you turn eighteen.

Oh I’ve been a bad, bad girl…


Winchester Academy is home to a lot of things – the spoiled rich kids of the world’s elite, ivy-covered walls, typical high school drama and angst, and him – Professor Oliver Bard. Dominant, alpha, and completely freaking gorgeous.

I know he looks at me, even if he sees me as forbidden fruit—tempting, off-limits jailbait. But I’ve been obsessed with him for way, way too long, which is why I purposefully got myself thrown into his infamous “midnight detention” on the eve of my eighteenth birthday.

Just the two of us, alone, watching the clock tick down.

Yesterday, this would be illegal. Today, it’s just plain wrong. Wrong, sick, morally reprehensible, and achingly hot.

This could ruin him, and put a scarlet letter on my back. But once I feel those big hands on me, and once I get a taste of his perfect, forbidden mouth, and once he shows me things I’ve only ever dreamed about while imagining him, I know there’s no going back.

I know I should say no, but that’s a little hard to do when his mouth and hands and…well, other things are only making me scream “yes, professor”…
