Review & Recommendation – UnBeautifully (UnDeniable #2) by Madeline Sheehan
UnBeautifully by Madeline Sheehan
BLURB:
Warning: This is not a story about fate or destiny. This is a story about pain, sorrow, and suffering. This is an impulsive whirlwind romance between two lovers that are not meant to be together. Theirs is not a world with sunshine and roses. Instead, their love blossoms in a secret world full of crime, violence, and death. Their story is about what can be born from nightmares.
Danielle “Danny” West is the daughter of Deuce West, President of the Hell’s Horsemen Motorcycle Club. A sweet and beautiful girl, she loses her way, searching for things that are always out of her reach. Erik “Ripper” Jacobs is the Sergeant of Arms in the Hell’s Horsemen. Once a man who always had a smile on his face, his life takes a turn for the worst when a tragedy befalls him, leaving him scarred and broken. During a midsummer night, Danny and Ripper’s paths cross, forever changing their lives. Hastily, their lust turns to love until another tragedy forces them apart. On a journey that is marred with ugliness and chaos, Danny and Ripper must discover if their unforeseen connection can find the beauty in their world.
This is Danny and Ripper’s story.
Everything has beauty. Even the ugly. Especially the ugly.
Because without ugly, there would be no beauty….
MY REVIEW:
Well hell…. didn’t think it could get much better than UnDeniable….. how wrong was I!?!?!
‘UnBeautifully’ from the awesome Madeline Sheehan totally smashed my expectations!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!
Madeline is an evil genuis when it comes to this series – I love her!!! UnB gripped me from the start – I honestly felt like Madeline had ripped my heart out of my chest, threw it on the floor and stomped on it only to put it back then give it a kickstart to begin healing again!!!
I cried so hard reading Danny & Ripper’s story and was left feeling like an emotional wreck – but it was oh so worth it!!
UnBeautifully starts where the epilogue for UnD left us. It then takes us back to just after the whole ‘psycho Frankie’ nightmare then moves forward to a little after the end of UnD.
Ripper just tugs at your heart – that damned man is so appealing and you just need to comfort him.
Danny – Deuce’s princess – grows a lot in this book. She is a truly good, caring, loving, beautiful person.
Madeline gives us more of Eva & Deuce and the story covers the years following Eva’s horrific final experience at the hands of f*cked-up Frankie. We also gradually find out what Ripper suffered at the hands of the maniac!
Told from the POV of the 4 character, I wasn’t sure how that would work but it was excellent.
To see just how broken Eva & Deuce were and how they found their way back from the darkness is fabulous.
Danny and Ripper – they are a truly fantastic couple. This is a modern day, hard hitting love story! – it isn’t pretty – it’s hard, sad, painful and dark at times.
For everyone that has read UnDeniable, this book is a must read.
If you haven’t read UnD yet – why the hell not!?!?!?! Go grab a copy now and get reading!!
This series grabs you by the neck, squeezes the f*ck out of your heart and near destroys you before dumping your ass on the floor and at the end you’re pretty damned devastated that its over!!!
Can’t wait for UnAttainable and the story of Cage & Teacup!!! x

Recommendation: ENSLAVE (Bk4 in the VET Series) by Felicity Heaton
ENSLAVE – Felicity Heaton
BLURB – (from Felicity’s Website)
His determination to succeed in business has left no room in his life for love. Now, a beautiful and deadly succubus has teleported into his dark, decadent world and is in danger of enslaving his heart.
Andreu’s future entails opening an erotic theatre like Vampirerotique, gaining wealth, women and power, not shackling himself to a single female, but he cannot deny the dangerously seductive succubus who stirs his anger and passion, and tempts him like no other—he will have her.
The moment their eyes meet, Varya knows she cannot have the exotic dark vampire who sets her pulse racing. His shadowed aura marks him as forbidden, but the hungers he awakens in her are too intense to resist—she must have a taste.
When an erotically-charged kiss ignites their soul-searing passion and reveals something dangerous about Andreu, will Varya leave forever or will she dare to risk all in pursuit of something she thought was beyond her reach?

New Release – Lion and the Falcon by Eve Langlais
Lion and the Falcon – Eve Langlais
Book 4 in the F.U.C series
Blurb (from Eve’s Blog)
| When as A.S.S agent is given to F.U.C, it’s not just the criminals who feel the heat. | |
| Given the choice between dealing with a psycho killer, a meddling mother and an all too sexy falcon, this poor doctor does what any sane lion would do—he takes a nice, long nap.
Avian Soaring Security has transferred Clarice to the Furry United Coalition so she can help track some escaped psycho patients. As if that weren’t bad enough, they partnered her with the very pampered Dr. Manners. Everything about the attractive feline annoys her, except for his flaming hot kisses. But is passion enough to keep a usually sparring species together? Nolan’s pedigree isn’t the only thing preventing him from falling for his sexy partner. She’s bossy, violent, rude and oh so intriguing to this curious cat, but his meddlesome mother will never allow him to get involved with a bird. But before he can decide if love is worth bucking pride tradition, he needs to stay out of the clutches of a demented ex-patient. Book order for the Furry United Coalition Series (also known as FUC). *For complete reader enjoyment, it is recommended you read the books in order. |

Recommendation – A Night Away (Redwood Pack 3.5) by Carrie Ann Ryan
A NIGHT AWAY – CARRIE ANN RYAN
Redwood Pack Book 3.5
Kade Jamenson has been mated to Melanie for almost two years. They’ve been through mating circles, battles, loss, misunderstandings, and finally, the birth of their son, Finn. The world is in turmoil around them as the Redwoods engage in war with the Centrals. But for Kade and Melanie, the turmoil is also happening at home. The responsibility of a restless baby and their Pack has taken a toll and they need a break.
Not from each other. But from their Pack. Just for a night.
Kade takes Mel away for a romantic getaway and leaves Uncle Maddox alone with baby Finn. The Omega of the Redwood Pack may be adept at emotions but the idea of a baby may be beyond his immense capabilities.
Author’s Note: This is a novella set between books 3 and 4 to give you a taste of Mel and Kade. It is best that you have already immersed yourselves in the Redwood Pack world, however even new readers will enjoy a glimpse of one of the Redwood’s favorite couples.

Book Recommendation & Review – SEDUCE by Felicity Heaton
It’s now only 14 days until the release of the 6th and final book in the awesome Vampire Erotique Theatre series by the extrememly talented Felicity Heaton….. In the run up to the big day why don’t you check out the other 5 fabulous books about the guys who live & work in the Vampirerotique Theatre.
Book 3 is SEDUCE – this is Antoine & Sera’s story!!
Bloodlust runs in his veins, a dark master waiting for the day it will reign over him. Now a woman with a pure soul and wicked intentions has him in her sights and is determined to crack the ice around his heart, and she might save or damn him.
Antoine stands apart from the world around him, a dangerous and broken soul who must maintain rigid control at all times or risk his dark addiction finally seizing hold of him. The shadows of his past haunt him and he sees his bleak future each night when his brother wakes screaming, his blood addiction turning him savage. He cannot allow himself to feel, but when Sera walks into Vampirerotique, the erotic theatre he runs with three other vampires, to audition, she awakens dangerous desires in him—hungers that could spell the end of both of them.
Sera has wanted Antoine since the night she first saw the gorgeous aristocrat vampire. She can’t ignore the deep carnal hunger he stirs in her or the ache to know the heat of his touch. With the help of her sire, an ex-performer at Vampirerotique, she sets in motion a game of seduction, one designed to thaw the ice in Antoine’s veins and make him burn for her.
When Sera discovers the shocking truth about his past and the darkness that lurks within him, will she be strong enough to seize his heart with both hands and win him forever or will she lose him to the ghosts that still haunt him?

MY REVIEW:
Seduce is book 3 in Felicity Heaton’s fantastic VET series. Felicity has built a dark, delicious & erotic world that you can’t help but be drawn into!!!
Seduce is Antoine & Sera’s story.
Sera is a young elite vampire. She has watched Antoine for a year and has fallen for him. She knows what she wants and regardless of the advise from her sire, Elizabeth, she sets out to get him – this starts with an ‘audition’ at the theatre which doesn’t go quite as planned…
Anotine is a very reserved aristocrat vampire who comes across as quite hard and stern but when he encounters Sera and she starts her seduction, we discover he is far from cold-hearted…. He has been damaged by his past and is concerned that the Bloodlust which haunts his brother will also take hold of him, but he is a good man and not just as detached as we would think!!
Another steamy & intense installment to a wonderful series which just keeps getting hotter and hotter………
