MY OPINION
This modern Jane Eyre retelling keeps getting better. Equally atmospheric and eery, the plot is brimming with stormy emotions, forbidden yearning, and a plethora of mysteries. Jane is like a butterfly pinned by Beau's formidable passion.
I was jumping with the need to find out what happened after that explosive cliffhanger in book one. Feelings run rampant along with fury and restrained love with this couple. Boss and nanny never had more obstacles to fulfill their soulful lust. Yes, that's what it feels like between Jane and Beau, every scene marked with epic sensuality. A giant fan is needed to douse the fire this story rouses.
It's more than that though. This relationship is alive with denied happiness and trust. He keeps pushing her away with cold deeds and cruel words, and sweet, brave Jane takes everything in stride even though she's bleeding inwardly with pain. There's a particular scene that I think deserves some punishment for it is incredibly hurtful the way he behaves towards her. Despite that evil moment, there's this powerful tug-of-war between the characters as they fight their impossible romance while also indulging in insanely hot sins of the flesh. What's more, the secrets behind all the tragedies they are facing are surfacing in a most frightening way.
I was really amazed at the creative turn of the homage to Jane Eyre's story. This is also a deep insight into trauma and bereavement from a little child and the reflection of it in a grown up that experienced something similar. There are many scenes devoted to the little girl Paige as she faces even more trauma, and how Jane and Beau deal with it with care and patience.
Not one chapter is free from strong emotion. Let alone that cliffhanger that poises so much threat and shock for everyone. Next book is a must!

Hi, book buddies ☺ I am happy to tell you about this amazing new book by my admired Skye Warren 😍
Releasing: March 9, 2021
When I signed up for the nanny agency, I didn't expect a remote mansion on a windswept isle. Or a brooding billionaire who resents his new role. His brother's death means he's now in charge of a moody seven year old girl. She's lashing out at the world, but I can handle her. I have to. I need the money to finish my college degree. As long as I can avoid the boss who alternately mocks me and coaxes me to reveal my darkest secrets.
MY OPINION
Eerie atmosphere, a brooding dark hero, and a broken woman full of unclaimed love. Who could have done it better than this author?
From the dramatic start, this story promises deep emotion and shattering sensuality. The young woman looking to improve her life enters the wolf's cave in the middle of a storm. That storm seems to pervade the entire mansion, the cliffs by the roaring sea, the inhabitants who dwell in pain and bereavement. Is this Jane Eyre with a captivating twist into a lustful modern world? This Mr Rochester has his own demons to prove it, but he brings along a myriad of temptations.
I was thrilled with the atmospheric setting and the female character. She is torn by her painful past, but she fights for a brighter future. All her strong and vulnerable self is poured into helping a little girl. I loved those heartfelt scenes with the child. Her guardian, though, is another kind of hell. One filled with harsh words, steely presence, hateful longing, and carnal corruption that Jane cannot get enough of.
You will devour this story with abandon. I know I did! I relished the isolated world in the mansion teeming with throbbing desire let loose at night. Those forbidden little steps Jane and Beau take to indulge in pleasures also open doors into their feelings. It is both sensual and bittersweet. Jane is an endearing character whom I wish all the happiness she has been denied. She has a backbone of steel under that fairy-like youth. And the dialogues with Beau are amazing and funny.
I am really curious about the mystery surrounding Mr Rochester and his niece. And even though I was expecting the next parallelism to Jane Eyre's tale, the heart-stopping tragedy of the cliffhanger still shook me. I am counting the days till the next book in the trilogy. I will not miss it!

Hi, book buddies ☺ Do you like funny romances loosely based on Pride and Prejudice? I do! 😃 Here is a a new novel by Staci Hart that is just that.
Everyone hates part of their job, and I hate Luke Bennet.
Coming Up Roses, an all-new must read enemies to lovers romantic comedy from Staci Hart is available now!
Everyone hates parts of their job.
Maybe it’s the paperwork. Maybe it’s the day-to-day grind. Maybe it’s that client who never knows what they want, or the guy who always cooks fish in the microwave.
But not me. I love every corner of the Longbourne Flower Shop, every flower, every petal, every stem. I love the greenhouse, and I love Mrs. Bennet, my boss. I love creating, and I love being a florist. I don’t hate anything at all.
Except for Luke Bennet.
The Bennet brothers have come home to help their mom save the flower shop, and Luke is at the helm. His smile tells a tale of lust, loose and easy. He moves with the grace of a predator, feral and wild. A thing unbridled, without rules or constraint.
When he comes home to save Longbourne, I almost can’t be mad at him.
Almost.
He doesn’t remember that night I’ll never forget. That kiss, touched with whiskey and fire. It branded me like a red-hot iron. But it meant nothing to him.
Everyone hates part of their job, and I hate Luke Bennet.
Because if I don’t, I’ll fall in love with him.

Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life -- a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can't forget that. She's also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She's been a wife, though she's certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She's also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she's been drinking whiskey.
From roots in Houston to a seven year stint in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in between and equally north, in Denver. They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she's not writing, she's reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.
Crowns and romance make a great combination, don't you think? Hi, book buddies, how are you doing this week? I'm still alive, that's always a bonus :-D
Glamour: Contemporary Fairytale Retellings IS LIVE!
Don't miss out on these EIGHT exclusive novellas from Skye Warren, AL Jackson, Sophie Jordan, Aleatha Romig, Lili St. Germain, Nora Flite, Sierra Simone and Nicola Rendell!
Romance with
a fairy tale twist is becoming a preferred treat for me. And I knew I had to
taste this anthology of novellas with glamour. Especially because one of my
truly favourite authors have a story based on Sleeping Beauty among the other
novellas.
Bedtime Story
tells about a young mother fleeing from a dark fate only to end up in the hands
of a lonely knight in shining armor that shows her true kindness for the first
time in her life. This novella encapsulates the desperation of a woman with no
hope in just a couple of scenes that were very intimate and heartfelt. The
beautiful prose reflects the awakening of a woman under the fist of violence,
and also the awakening of femininity to be free at last to express desire
without the constraint of fear and pain.
Still, it was
cut short in the end and felt a bit unfinished. Otherwise, it was quite a
contradiction of sweet and dark, and very endearing.
Every single reader who one-clicks the new book for the low limited-time release price ALSO gets 6 FREE bonus books from the bestselling all-star author lineup. These are SIX five-star full-length books that the authors are giving away exclusively here to show their immense gratitude for your support.

Hansel by Ella James
Releases 20th October 2014
Erotic Romance
My name is Gretel. I’m the dish-washer. The kitchen girl. I’m not one of Mother’s pets. I’m just a storybook girl no one sees. Until that night. When I find him again, and all my dreams come to life.
He’s mine—the one called Hansel. I’ve come here to claim him.
*
I’m Hansel, a crazy woman’s toy. It’s taken years, but I’ve finally forgotten everything outside my life here in The House. I live for sex and nothing more. Until I see her. Gretel.
I remember her. I need her. She is mine.
*
AUTHOR’S NOTE: This story is not panty-melting. Your panties won’t have time to melt, because they will fuc*ing evaporate. Poof! But let me level with you: It is crazy. It is dark. You have to trust me. You will find both Gretel and Hansel to be completely fuc- lovable. You have my word. P.S. It’s not fantasy. It’s contemporary erotica. P.S.S. No one in this fairy tale is related.

As you know by now, it's impossible for me to resist a serial that looks SO good. It's Beauty and the Beast, book buddies, but with a seriously sick twist. Love it! I'm very happy to share with you my opinion of Beast part 1, and some details on its second part that has been released today.
MY OPINION OF BEAST
This is an erotic fairy tale inspired by Beauty and the Beast.
Powerful and
intense. I can taste those two words after reading this episode. No doubt about
wanting, craving, more doses of the same treat.
It left me
panting with surprise, breathless with shock and excitement. I thoughtI knew
what was coming my way, but oh no, it was brutal and fascinating all at once.
The teen with
a crush on a movie star is endearing. I can easily understand she wanted to
meet her idol, but was also intimidated by getting too close to him. It's so
cute that she both melted and was relieved when that short but steamy moment
together was less frightening that she thought, also more arousing.
The man. Or
the beast. Oh, wow. He's full of crap, all kinds of baggage, makes such huge
mistakes I can't believe him. He's also lonely, has exotic blood in his veins,
and is sexier that an ice-cream in the desert.
The spark of
sensuality is there, believe me, though the story goes beyond the sphere of
erotic. It actually throws unexpected turns and the author's voice conveys
drama and realism.
I love the twists the fairy tale has undergone: the mansion is now a prison, the Beast
is now running a dirty empire in jail, the menace and threats are now sexual
domination. Let me warn you: this is brutal. It's too much, and too good.
He's called
Beast for a reason, girls, and poor Annabelle is having a nasty encounter with
him at the gritty, violent, crashing finale of this episode. This is a tornado
of sex, cars, drugs and power. I'm quaking in my slippers for what's gonna
happen next...
Yes or no? What will she do? Can Annabelle redeem Beast with her heart intact, or will her time at La Rosa Prison ruin her? Find out who Beast really is in the dark, erotic retelling of Beauty & The Beast.
EXCERPT
“You look nervous,” he says. His hand, still in my hair, turns to my cheek. It’s warm. Smells good. “Come and sit down.”
He takes my hand and leads me to a window seat. A built-in bench, pressed up against a wall of glass. He wraps his hands around my waist and lifts me up. Sits me down up there. My eyes scan the patchy, dirt-strewn yard outside. The way the rain smashes off the ground and into something else. The sky is white. Stark white.
“Just a minute,” he says.
My mind screams as he steps away. He reaches onto some shelves along the wall and grabs an armful of navy blue blankets. Painters’ blankets, I realize as he holds them out for me. He sits them on the bench beside me. Smooths one out. Lifts me up and sits me on it. Then he tucks another one behind me.
“Thank you,” I murmur. Despite the blankets’ tattered appearance, they seem soft enough. There’s no paint on them, and they don’t smell like it. Another one unfolded by his big hands, tucked around me.
“You got wet. Warm up a moment.”
I sit there because my brain is broken and my heart feels puffed up like a balloon.
He climbs up behind me and gently nudges me forward. He leans his torso up against mine, spreads his legs around my butt and thighs. Strong hands begin to knead my shoulders.
“Don’t be nervous here, Angel. I’ll take care of you. Always.”

Book buddies, I have a weak spot for fairy tales retellings, and if they come packed with sexy twists, I'm truly lost. Truly. Lost. I'm literally hopping like a rabbit to roam my greedy eyes over this exciting story.
Look at that cover, and the blurb! It just looks too good to say no.
This is an erotic fairy tale inspired by Beauty and the Beast.
FROM HOLLYWOOD ROYALTY
At twenty-one years old, third-generation movie star Cal Hammond was on top of the world. He had more money than God and more women than any man could need. But when a night of debauchery ends in tragedy, he forfeits a life of luxury for a ten-year prison sentence at La Rosa, California’s most violent prison.
TO A BRUTAL BEAST
Eight years later, a ruthless, cunning man runs La Rosa from the inside. He is known simply as BEAST. All the wardens fear him. All the gangs obey him. He speaks to no one but his inner council. What he says is law.
NOW ONLY SHE CAN SAVE HIM
Annabelle Mitchell’s father is the warden at La Rosa. He deals as dirty as his trustees, and after years of smooth relations with Beast and the gangs he runs, Holt lands on the powerful prisoner’s hit list. That very afternoon, Annabelle pays a surprise visit to her father’s work, hoping to use her new counseling license at a place she thinks she could make a difference. When she catches Beast’s eye, he releases the warden and grabs the daughter. The price for the warden’s error is not death. It’s his precious Belle.
