This love deserves a SAVAGE ENDING

Hi, book buddies :-) Savage has a fourth and final book! I warn you, it's filled with tension and romance. I loved it! 


MY OPINION

Thrilling and romantic treat to end this Savage man's story. It's such luck to go back to these characters' world once more to see them finally happy. It's wedding time, baby, and it's done with deep feelings and the ultimate challenge.

Savage shows off his unique wit and gritty sense of humour while his most romantic side shines in all its glory. I loved the way he declares his absolute commitment to Candace and their relationship. At first, there's a hilarious scene that represents his inner struggle with his sins and his dark side compared to the goodness in the woman he loves. This is an issue that haunts him, but they fight against it together. 

He embarks on a dubious mission right before their wedding, and that drenched the atmosphere with a strong sense of unease and foreboding. I liked that mix of tension, mystery, and romantic preparations. The scenes dedicated to their love, passion, wedding bliss, and future plans are gorgeous. I felt really satisfied. Then, the suspenseful part of danger, tech surveillance, mysterious threats, is very engaging. I didn't really know how it would pan out, but in the end it exploded at the right moment and in an epic way. So exciting!

I always have a great time with the Walker Security men working together in smooth, dirty-mouthed synchronicity and camaraderie. Pure magic. I am going to miss them all. Hopefully, there's another story coming about Lucifer or Smith in the not-so-distant future :-D



The fourth and final book in the Savage Series!

A man, a former assassin, who is now in love, a man on his honeymoon, who vows to leave the killing behind him.

That is, until someone sets their eyes on revenge and goes after his woman. Now someone is going to find out just what a Savage he really is.

 ENJOY AN EXCERPT

I stand willingly in front of Rick, naked while he is not. His gaze is hot, intimate. When his eyes meet mine, he says, “You hesitated.”

“I did not hesitate,” I say, closing the space between us and pressing my hand to his jaw. “I was thinking about the very first time you told me to undress for you. Do you remember?”

Tension slides from his shoulders as if my answer is the exact one he needs, and he wraps his arms around my waist. “I remember that night well.” His voice lowers seductively. “I spanked you.” His lips curve. “And you liked it.”

“Are you going to spank me now?” I dare, so far from intimidated by anything that happens between me and this man. He demands. And I have learned over time that while it defies my strong will and independence in the bedroom, I like when he’s in control.

“Not tonight,” he says, easing me onto his lap so I’m straddling him.

I wrap my arms around his neck and he adds, “All or nothing.”

“All or nothing,” I repeat.

His lashes lower, the lines of his face sharp. “I’m still Savage, Candace,” he says, his eyes meeting mine again. “That part of me still exists.”

“Why are you saying this?” I ask.

“Because this mission, this blast from the past, reminded me of who I am.”

“And you think I need to be reminded?”

“Yes,” he says without hesitation. “You do. You're about to marry me.”

“I’m marrying the love of my life. And that’s you, Rick. All of you.”

“Love is blind.”

“I know who you are, Rick Savage. And for the record, you can’t deny who you are. Not and live a happy life. And I don’t want you to deny who you are. That’s never been my message.”

“I know that, too,” he says. “But I’ve tried anyway.”

That one statement terrifies me. I’ve tried anyway. It’s like a ball rolling toward a waterfall in slow motion, but eventually, it tumbles over the edge. My hands go to his shoulders, his muscles flexing beneath my touch. “That’s a problem for us. It’s a big problem.”

I try to climb off of him, but he catches my waist with a powerful arm around my body. “It’s not a problem,” he insists.

“No one should marry someone they can’t be themselves with. Every time you think you have to be something you’re not for me, it divides us.”

“I don’t want to be something I’m not with you, Candace. I want to be a better man for you.”

“I just want you to be you.”

“I want to be a better man for me, too. But you know, sometimes some people just need to die, Candace.”

I blink with the sudden shift from being a better man to wanting to kill someone. But that’s the point of all of this. That’s where he was taking me and us.

I’m flying blind right now, unsure about what happened to place him in this state of mind, but I know one thing: Rick is a good man. He doesn’t kill for money or pleasure. “I love you, Rick Savage. Be who you are and do what you do for the right reasons. And you do. Always.”

“Even if it means hunting down a bastard and killing him?”

He says it so matter-of-factly, but I know him. It’s anything but. Someone has made Rick’s personal hit list. There are no names on that list, at least, none that are living. “Can it be after the honeymoon?” I ask, quite seriously.

He laughs and cups my head and presses our foreheads together. “You really get me, don’t you?”

My hand finds his face. “And you get me. Rick—”

I never finish my sentence. I don’t even remember what I was going to say. He pulls me closer and claims my mouth, and it’s a tender kiss, a kiss void of the dominance I’d expected from him only minutes before. I moan with the sensations that spiral through me and just that easily, the air shifts, and our mood darkens, roughens. Suddenly, we are wild, kissing as if we will never again. Touching each other everywhere, and I’m tugging at his shirt. He pulls it over his head and tosses it, and my gaze falls on the heart that says San Antonio in the center, the heart I know he got for me. Because that’s where we met, that’s where he left me and found me again.

My fingers curl on top of it and I whisper, “You really never forgot me.”

“Never,” he says, and as our eyes collide, he says it again, a rasp of emotion in his voice. “Never.” And then he’s kissing me again and I’m touching him and arching into him…

Rick Savage, but they call him Savage and for a reason. 

He can make you laugh and then rip your heart out. No one knows that more than me, Candace Marks, the woman he left bleeding from the heart. I loved him. Lord help me, I’ve never stopped loving him.

Now, I’m engaged to another man, a brutal man I’m trapped into marrying, when to my shock, Savage returns home. Savage who I haven't heard from in years. I want to hate him. I have ever reason to hate him, but I can’t. I still love him and I fear he will save me just to leave me bleeding one last time. He stirs my desires, a dark, delicious, and dangerous man destined to hurt me and leave me. 

This time I’m not sure I'll survive.

Open the DOOR OF BRUISES

 Hi, book buddies ☺ It is a bittersweet pleasure to read the last book in a series of four. Almost like an epiphany.


DOOR OF BRUISES (Thornchapel #4) 

by Sierra Simone 
 Release Date: November 30th 
 

MY OPINION

How can one express the feeling of finishing the fourth and final book in a gutting, mesmerising series such as this. 

The author's words have a bewitching pull. The narrative quickly carries an atmospheric weight, lush with ancient secrets that haunt the already broken-hearted characters and that yearn to invade and take root. Every chapter is a path to discovery amidst danger, longing, insatiable lust and regrets.

Regal Auden is torn between loving too much and keeping his impulses to a minimum so as not to hurt whom he loves most. Rebecca is torn between her newly found feelings and the loathsome loss of the object of her desires. Becket is filled with a mystic zest born from a life-altering act and St. Sebastian cannot make the choice that is tearing him apart.

I particularly felt drawn towards Auden's myriad of subtle feelings and sensations. He understands himself so much better now, and the depth of his thoughts is as touching as the sweetness of his love for Poe and St Sebastian. The scene where the two men share a fashion necessity is pure art. And this author makes dirty into poetry, too. There are plenty of  voluptuous moments with couples or threesomes or multitudes, all drenched in profound emotion and trespassing ardour. Despite the encroaching sense of catastrophe and death, this band of loving friends indulge in carnal love as much as in soul searching.

Reading this book is like living a whole lifetime. I felt like I was all of the characters and also like they were my family, my clan. Thornchapel has become a staple in my treasure trove of gothic sites. I was utterly invested in the mystery that was sprouting from book searches and ritualistic lore and fairy legends. In this final part of the series, the atmosphere pulses with so much dread, with an unbeatable promise of sacrifice, with sinister roses and cycles of historical doom and fascinating discussions about archeology, belief, humility and duty. It is enthralling. Especially to a mind like mine which thrives on mystique and noble oblation. 

The ending of this 4-book story is superbly crafted, tinglingly provocative, boldly queer, painfully solved and wrapped up in reckoning. Unforgettable. I'm going to miss you all, you sweet perverts.

 Twelve years ago, our fates were sealed with a kiss.

We are all, for better or worse, doomed to love each other until death do us part. My heart belongs to Proserpina and St. Sebastian—even if he no longer wants it. Even if she has left it behind to follow him. Delphine’s fled back home, and Becket’s holy calling is in peril. And now only Rebecca and I remain at Thornchapel to face the unknown. The door is open. The door that shouldn’t exist; the door that people have died to close. I don’t feel like the lord of the manor...I don’t feel like a king or a wild god. I am a friend and a boyfriend and a brother—and a failure at being all of these things. 

But the door doesn’t care about my guilt. It only cares about the sacrifice I’ll make to close it. As the bruising dark of Samhain approaches, so does the fate of our circle, of Thornchapel and the village and the valley beyond it. And I must don the crown, because one thing is still true, even if I must face it alone. Here at Thornchapel, the kings must go to the door. 

  Here at Thornchapel, all kings must die.

Meet the Professor!

Hi, book buddies ☺ I want to tell you about an addictive new series. You won't be able to stop reading once you meet professor Maximus Kane in Blood of Zeus. He's heaven and sin all rolled into one hot man.


http://bloodofzeus.com/

 AN ANCIENT GRUDGE.
 A FORBIDDEN LOVE.

What is this beauty about?

The only thing worse than being a demon is being a Valari. As an undergraduate at Los Angeles’s Alameda University, Kara Valari can sometimes succeed at forgetting she’s both. Lost between the pages of the classics and tucked into the shadows of lecture halls, she can dodge the paparazzi’s lenses as well as her family’s publicized dramas—not to mention their private expectations. She has one more year to feed her true passions. Then she’ll be expected to fulfill a much darker destiny.

Cursed with inexplicable strength and god-like stature, literature professor Maximus Kane knows all about darkness. Every day he’s reminded of the missteps of his childhood and the devastating consequences they’ve had on those dearest to him. To atone, Maximus spends his nights alone and his days submerged in the quiet life of academia. His existence has become a study in control, and he’s become a master at it—until Kara Valari walks into his toughest course.

Viscerally, Kara’s everything he craves. Logically, she’s everything he rejects. She’s a starlet of privilege. She’s also a student. And after one touch, he can’t deny that she’s awakened something in him that may never go dormant. Nothing about her makes sense, but everything about her feels right. Especially in the deepest strands of his DNA, which are still shadows of mystery to him—a mystery Kara seems determined to uncover.

She’s Hollywood royalty. She’s forbidden fruit. And he’s pretty sure she could be the answer to everything.
 

MY OPINION 

Epic romance! If the cover isn’t enough to tempt you, the forbidden love story inside will surely conquer you.

Luxurious power, endless wealth and notorious family name all compete to bestow a dark legend around Kara Valari. Not even the fires in hell can drag her away from her fascination for literature professor Maximus Kane. A man, but not just a mortal man. And the tragedy is born.

So very exciting!

This is a beautiful romance forged in mythology, tormented souls, sectarian traditions, and fate. The atmosphere blends modern luxury, ancient mysticism and a paranormal biology with a lust that vibrates through the pages.

The characters bring sophisticated talks about Dante and Hell to their dance of seduction. The pull and push of mind-blowing chemistry and untapped dangers play its magic in scenes where the couple challenges and tempts each other. They are fighting their fiery desire while attempting to decipher their connection, his foggy origins, and her mafia-like family.

The result is addictive. I really can't say what I enjoyed the most. The arousing buildup of impossible intimacy? The nagging secrets about the characters' mysterious identities? Maybe the horrible, yet darkly erotic fate that awaits Kara as her biblical duty? That Lucifer look alike was my undoing :-D

When Maximus and Kara finally succumb to their passion it is truly a moment of tempestuous bliss. True scorcher! That cliffhanger in the end is a portal to a veritable source of devilish plots that I am eager to explore. Bring the underworld on!



THE REST OF THE SERIES


I can’t wait for book 2!

Reap a HARVEST OF SIGHS

Hi, book buddies :-) Have you ever been addicted to a twisted tale? The Thornchapel series is it for me. 

  HARVEST OF SIGHS 
(Thornchapel #3) by Sierra Simone

  Add to Goodreads
   

MY OPINION

One of my most anticipated books of 2020. This series is like an addiction. Unforgettable and infectious. 

By now, you must know this is not for the morally squeamish and haters of kink. We are drowning in sin here :-D  

The previous book ended with a cliffhanger that felt earth-shattering. And I couldn't imagine how the characters would survive it. It feels like sacrifice is paramount in this series. Everyone sacrifices something on altars of stone and heart. 

Poe and Saint and Auden are inseparable in this book despite the events that threaten to push them apart. In threes or twos, they offer amazing portrayals of lust, love, and torment. Proserpina and the priest together are heavenly, too. I have a weak spot for Becket with his ardent divinity and his unrequited love. 

Delphine and Rebecca explore their passionate relationship against former animosity and social frowns, but it is their inner storm that poses a tableau of excruciating and bittersweet pain. Can they love each other freely or their inhibitions are too hopeless? I loved Delphine's vulnerability and her need for true love. I was deeply moved by the consequences of her trauma and how they were depicted. Despite my other preferences of characters, they present a captivating beckon. 

The beauty of these words is insurmountable, painful and riveting. It is also inextricably immoral and primitively sacred. 

The vividness of the prose rivals the plot of twisted sensuality and ancient curses. The characters sway between craving what they cannot renounce beyond reason and denying themselves the raw, frightening need of love. 

A deluge of despair marks the atmosphere of this third novel, never in detriment of the festival of carnal scenes where all characters find both torment and endless pleasure. For a while, I missed the mysticism that was so pervading in the other books. Luckily, it has a very foreboding comeback towards the last part. It is then that revelations from the past blend with ritualistic prophecies and every character's arc explodes in the most hedonistic, hurtful, poetic way. 

I felt so sorry and torn for all of them, how cruel the twists seem to hit my beloved boys and girls. Yet the outcome of the season was inevitable, and a little shortsighted for a couple of them not to see that they were welcoming the serpent into their lustful paradise. Alas, summer had to end with a fearful bang, oh my, it did. 

This Wuthering Heights saturated with Saturnalia should be a dark classic.

   

WHAT IS THIS ABOUT? 



The genius and the sunshine girl.  As children, we fought bitterly and often, bickering every chance we got.   

But then we grew up.   
Then we came back.  

Delphine Dansey carries her heart on the outside of her body; she’s looking for love and chasing dreams.  She’s spoiled and selfish, the kind of beautiful that’s made for money and fame. But somehow she’s ended up in my keeping: a pretty submissive I can’t seem to resist, a lover who obsesses and tempts me.  

I thought I’d locked my heart away a long time ago, along with all my other weaknesses. But some doors won't stay closed, no matter how hard I fight to keep them shut.  She unravels me, just like our friends are unraveling, just like Thornchapel itself is unraveling.  

All year long, we’ve been sowing lust and jealousy and pain, heedless of the consequences. But a harvest is inevitable, and so now we must reap our sorrows.   
And our sighs.

REVENGE will be mine

Hi, book buddies ☺
I am sure you have been awaiting your Revenge...

Ready for some Slaying fun?
😈


  REVENGE (Slay #3) by Laurelin Paige 
Release Date: February 25th   
  Add to Goodreads:

MY OPINION 

Can a book be better than its predecessors?  This series has proven that and with honours. The third in a series of four and it is a masterpiece of psychological warfare, character evolution, depth of emotion, and a love that defies labels.

Celia and Edward deserve a genre of their own.

I felt absorbed like by a black hole of irresistible attraction and intensity. Now there is passion and true commitment in their tumultuous relationship, but the struggle and the challenges are far from settled.  

This couple is teetering on the razor-sharp edge between revenge and self-preservation. Is it worth it to pursue resolution for injustices done to them, or the price will be too high for the soul?

There's an analogy about strength and the lengths we go to in order to fulfill revenge that was simply genius. And the battle of wills continue with extreme force when they deal with past traumas and present trust. Celia is still facing her demons in more detailed,  painful ways, which I think take now a resolute, productive tone. Yet Edward surprised me with his own issues. His psyche is delved into with excruciating clarity. So much thrill in this book, in these characters' constant clash and provocative dialogues, in the tempest and fervor of their unorthodox romance. Spectacular.

I think my admiration for Celia grew exponentially once again. She deals with her husband's blind obsession with unyielding hope and resilience. So much drama and raw emotions between them, oh my! I feel as if I know them, their happiness being vital to me now.

One of the most harrowing situations about Celia's past comes to a keenly graphic epiphany, with Edward very much a triggering motor behind it. It is hard to go through, and epic as it is, it only builds up to more peaks of secrets revealed for this couple. I believe the tests keep piling up for them and the next book will be unmissable.

ENJOY AN EXCERPT 

Inside the windowed room, I set one of the glasses on a table next to the loveseat then dimmed the overhead before taking the other glass to the armchair across from it. The string of lights that had been put up outside for the party were still lit, creating a romantic mood. Not exactly what I was going for, but it would do. In my experience, the darker setting made confessions easier.

I stretched my neck, easing the knots there as I looked out over the yard. The day had been busy and full, and the party had been, by all accounts, successful, but I’d spent the entire time preoccupied with Edward. Even when entertaining strangers or running around trying to find Ilsa to tell her we were out of toilet paper, I’d been aware of my husband. He was a magnetic force, always pulling my thoughts and my body in his direction. Like gravity holding me in his orbit.
I’d never felt that way about anyone before. Not just that in love but also that attached. I was still reeling from the newness of it, eighteen months after we’d wed.

I was also still adjusting to the way he affected me. How he’d brought me peace yet could stir up levels of jealousy within me that I’d never thought possible. His trip to the garden with Marion was innocent—it had to be considering the way he grinned at me when he’d returned. The devil himself wouldn’t flaunt his discretions so openly.

Would he?
