Release Day ~ Rising From The Ashes by Jessica Prince
Posted by Book Loving Pixies
BLURB
“People make mistakes when they’re young, but how they choose to come back from those mistakes is what matters in the end.
Savannah Morgan found true love at a very early age, but one rash decision — one that she would regret for the rest of her life — was all it took to end her relationship with the love of her life.
For seven years, Jeremy Matthews has accepted being “just friends” with the only woman he’s ever loved. Finally deciding that enough is enough, Jeremy relentlessly pursues Savannah until he forces her to see just how right they are for each other.
When Savannah’s past mistake is revealed, threatening the future she so desperately wants, the fate of their relationship lies in Jeremy’s hands. Will he be able to forgive Savannah, or is the relationship truly over?
When struggles and obstacles threaten the foundation of Savannah and Jeremy’s relationship, will they choose to let each other go, or rise from the ashes of the past to claim their happiness?”

Today I’m delighted to be joined by a friend and fellow blogger to review Rising……..Welcome Rebecca!!!!!!
BLP ~ MY REVIEW
I LOVED Rising From The Ashes….I finished the book at 6:00 this morning – just couldn’t put it down!!!
After meeting Savvy in book #1 in the series I couldn’t wait to read her story and find out what the history between her and Jeremy was….
I was taken by them both from the start. I’m a big fan of dual POVs and this gave us a great insight to both characters….
When we first came across Savannah she was the supportive, strong, funny & smart mouthed friend of the group but we soon discover in ‘Rising’ that there’s a lot more to her than meets the eye.
We hadn’t seen much of Jeremy in PUTP so we didn’t know much about him or why he and Savannah weren’t together…. just that there still seemed to be something between them.
Secrets and heartbreak have kept this pair apart for 7 years – they still love each other but could they ever overcome what had happened and get back together?!
‘Rising’ had me laughing & crying in equal measures. Savvy’s stubbornness annoyed me at times (I just wanted her to stop being so hard on herself). Jeremy’s determination was endearing but he did a couple of things that ticked me off – saying that, it never stopped me from rooting for them!!!
Once again, we had the supporting cast made up of all of their friends with the introduction of a couple of new faces that I’m looking forward to reading & finding out more about.
I can’t wait to see who’s next up – am hoping it’s Trevor & Lizzy!!!
Rising From The Ashes is another well written, captivating story from Jessica and I loved every twist and turn it had me on!!!

BEX ~ MY REVIEW
Every so often while trawling on Amazon or in book groups for new reads you are occasionally lucky enough to find that unexpected little gem, a particular book / author you know is going to be good, this is how I felt after discovering ‘Picking Up the Pieces’ by Jessica Prince, her debut novel. I really enjoyed it and like many loved Sassy Savannah a supporting cast member so I was excited to read her story ‘Rising From The Ashes’. Oh Boy did it not disappoint, I adored it ………
Sassy Savannah was an incredibly fabulous,strong, loyal and smart mouthed character in the first book and I wondered where the author would take her on this journey. I laughed out loud, suffered with her, shouted at my kindle and sat looking at the page in disbelief at points.
Jeremy we didn’t get to know very well before and I’m so glad he got his own story with Savannah . He drove me demented at points but if a book can give you strong reactions and an emotional rollarcoaster it’s doing its job.
So if you love a good story that shows life in a real way with all its flaws, that is about relationships both with friends and lovers, with witty banter, humour and affection in spades then give this one a try. It`s warm and memorable leaving you with a smile long after you’ve finished.

Here’s more about Claimed by a Demon King, including an excerpt from this paranormal romance novel.
Claimed by a Demon King (Eternal Mates Romance Series Book 2)
Felicity Heaton
The moment the demon King Thorne of the Third Realm set eyes on the mortal huntress Sable, he knew she was his fated one. The fiery, dangerous female awakened hungers he had never experienced before, a dark craving and passion that has consumed him in their time apart. As the lunar cycle wanes, she enters his world again and nothing will stand in the way of him claiming his forever with her—not the relentless assault from the Fifth Realm or the dark elf male determined to seduce her out of his grasp.
Intent on achieving the coveted position of commander at Archangel, Sable leads her small team into the dark underworld and the Third Realm, to a war where her allies are the very creatures she normally hunts—vampires, werewolves, and demons. Her eagerness to lead the deadly mission has everything to do with winning her promotion, and nothing to do with the kingdom’s brash, lethally seductive demon king—a king who stirred fierce desire and wildfire heat in her with just a look and an innocent touch when they first met, and has been in her wicked dreams ever since.
As the gathering storm between rivals unleashes irresistible passion that flares white-hot and the heat of the battle brings life-shattering realisations, can Sable place her duty before her heart? Or will she surrender to her deepest desires and be claimed by a demon king?
Claimed by a Demon King is available from Amazon Kindle, Kobo Books, Barnes and Noble Nook, Apple iBooks stores and other retailers. Also available in paperback. Find the links to your preferred retailer at: http://www.felicityheaton.co.uk/cbadk
Claimed by a Demon King – Excerpt
Sable left her room, went to the next one and opened the door. Olivia shrieked. Loren bit out a few nasty-sounding words in the elf language.
Sable covered her eyes and scrubbed the image of Loren playing tonsil tennis with Olivia while mostly naked from her mind.
“Sorry,” she muttered to the wooden floorboards. “Are you decent yet?”
“Knock next time,” Olivia snapped.
“In my defence, you’ve been alone for all of three minutes. I didn’t think you could make the leap from room orientation to sex in three minutes!” Rabbits. No. They were worse than bunnies. If Sable took her eyes off them for five seconds, they were kissing like teenagers.
Loren continued to growl dark-sounding things. She presumed they weren’t complimentary and were about her because he was firmly sticking to his own language. He still refused to share knowledge of the elf language with Archangel and she supposed she could understand his reluctance. No one other than the elves could understand or speak it. It was probably handy being able to speak a language your enemy couldn’t.
“Decent?” Sable asked in a small voice, fearing the elf prince was going to start directing more than insults at her.
“Yes,” Olivia answered and Sable came out from behind her hand.
Their love-nest looked much like her room, but with the layout reversed, so the bed was to her left and the fireplace to her right. She looked at the dressing table near the fireplace and idly said, “You don’t have a mirror.”
“You have a mirror?” Olivia looked as if Sable had just announced she had cable and a fifty-inch home cinema system.
Sable shrugged.
“Well… now we know for certain who the king’s favourite is.”
She glared daggers at her friend, and then at Loren when his sensual lips tugged into a teasing smile.
“Ha-ha. Drop it already.” Sable closed the door behind her and waited for them to look a little more serious before she continued. She decided she was going to have to wait a while.
Loren wrapped his arms around Olivia and stroked her cheek, smiling down into her eyes, looking like a lovesick fool for her friend. Olivia looked just as ridiculously sappy as she gazed up at her prince and rose on her tiptoes. Sable shifted her focus to the fireplace before she caught another eyeful of them locking lips.
Her chest ached and she ignored it.
It grew impossible when Olivia whispered sweet things to Loren and Sable found herself envying her friend.
Again.
Maybe she should have taken the time to try on a relationship for size. It did look sort of nice sometimes. Loren fussed over Olivia and Olivia did the same to him. They always had each other’s backs too. And she had never seen her friend so happy.
She scratched her neck and stared into the fire, listening to their murmured conversation and the demons stomping down the hall outside the door. They didn’t keep their voices low. Whatever they were discussing, it had them excited. Were they talking about the feast?
Sable closed her eyes and focused on her natural gift to sense non-humans. Their signatures came back strongly, far stronger than she had ever experienced. She could feel their excitement and the buzz running through the castle. It seeped into her as if it was her own, stirring her blood and sending a tremble of anticipation through her. She reached further, pushing herself, stretching down to the next level, seeking one strong heartbeat amidst the cacophony.
“Sable?” Olivia said, drawing her away from her pursuit of Thorne and back to the room. “You okay?”
Sable nodded. “Just fine tuning.”
Concern warmed Olivia’s dark brown eyes. Before her friend could go doctor on her and start asking about whether her gift was bothering her or if she had any problems with it, Sable smiled and shrugged it off.
More male voices boomed in the hallway. Talking about the feast? She had tried to learn a little of the demon tongue from Bleu but it was tricky. All she had mastered was how to greet someone depending on their status in your opinion, which mostly boiled down to various levels of insults.
“Are you sure you’re okay?” Olivia asked and Sable nodded again.
“Just thinking about tonight.” Before Olivia could leap in with some ridiculous mention of Thorne, Sable added, “This whole feast thing has me a little jittery. I guess first times are always like that.”
“I have to admit, I haven’t a clue what to expect.” Olivia smiled at her and swept her wavy chestnut hair from her face, hooking it behind her ears. It was strange seeing Olivia in jeans and a black baby-doll t-shirt. She was so used to seeing her friend in her white coat with her hair pinned in a bun, looking all neat and authoritative.
Loren pulled some clothes out of thin air and Sable was never getting used to that. He could teleport whatever belonged to him from anywhere in the world, both this one and her one. He held the long elegant black jacket up and the rich elaborately detailed purple embroidery shone in the firelight.
“You are wondering what food they eat,” he said in passing and picked some fluff off the jacket before laying it down over the back of one of the armchairs and pulling a pair of trousers out of the air.
Sable gaped. “Do you read minds now?”
“No, but it was on both of your faces.” Loren flicked her a smile and he was charming.
Were there any ugly elves in their world? All of the ones she had met were beautiful, when their temper was in check.
When they slipped into a rage, it was a whole different matter.
She had caught Bleu in a very painful place a few times during their sparring and he always turned on her, his eyes flashing bright purple and his pointed ears flattening against the sides of his head as he hissed at her, exposing large sharp fangs.
“Demons prefer meats, but I am certain there will also be vegetables and perhaps other foods on offer, such as berries and cheeses.” He paused to lay his trousers down over his jacket and his black eyebrows drew down above his crystal violet eyes. “Although, I do recommend avoiding the cheeses. Many of the animals they milk are not the same as the ones mortals would choose.”
Sable didn’t want to ask, not even to assuage her curiosity.
Loren pulled an elegant long dark purple dress out of the air and Sable could no longer hide her worry about the feast.
“Is there a dress code for tonight?” She looked at the beautiful gown and then Loren’s fine clothing resting over the chair.
She hadn’t brought anything for this sort of situation and she doubted her team had either. All of her clothes were fit for battle and nothing else. Even if she had known in advance about the feast, it wouldn’t have helped. She didn’t own anything as fine as the dress Loren held. She didn’t own a dress period.
“I really don’t want to offend Thorne,” she ignored the teasing look Olivia slid her way, “but I know all of my team brought only battle clothes with them.”
“That will not be a problem.” Loren laid the dress down on top of his clothing and turned to her. “You represent your team so only you will be seated at the main table with the other commanding officers. Thorne will not mind if your subordinates are dressed plainly.”
In other words, he would mind if she was.
Sable refused to panic about this. “Maybe there’s a demon female I can borrow a dress from.”
“That won’t be possible,” Olivia said, snatching her focus. “There are no demon females.”
She gasped. “Who were those women then?”
“Witches… a vampire or two. I believe there was even a shifter amongst them,” Loren replied and Sable’s gaze darted back to him.
“Demons don’t have females?” How had she not known that?
“No,” Olivia said for him and why hadn’t her friend told her about this? “The Devil put some sort of curse on seven demon species when they seized these lands to make their own realms… I guess he was pissed because he wiped out all the women and made it so the men would have to seek out their fated one. Now, demons can only mate with their fated females. The kicker is that most of them are mortal… and demons stick out like sore thumbs in our world.”
Mortal.
Sable’s pulse kicked up a notch. “How do they know their female?”
“They dream of her after meeting her.” Loren’s smile turned wicked and she didn’t like the glint in his eyes.
Cold slithered through her even as her cheeks began to heat.
“You’re talking… naughty… dreams.” Could she sound any more innocent and nervous?
He nodded. “Very, very naughty.”
“Loren,” Olivia chided and crossed the room to him. Sable thanked her for backing her up until her friend turned to her, forming an allied front with Loren, her smile just as wicked as his was. “You’re not having naughty dreams of Thorne are you, Sable?”

MY REVIEW:
Claimed by a Demon King is book 2 in the Eternal Mates series from Felicity Heaton. Following on directly from the end of book 1, this is Thorne and Sable’s story and it is as hot & explosive as I expected it to be!!!
Sable is a demon-hunter working for Archangel. Thorne is a Demon and the King of the Third realm in Hell.
(I have to admit that while I love Loren and Olivia from book 1, Sable & Thorne are definitely my faves of the series so far!!!)
The attraction between the 2 leads was evident when they first met in ‘Kissed by a Dark Prince’ and it is still as bright & hot from the get-go in Claimed.
While Sable is aware of the whole Mate issue – having seen & heard of how Loren pursued Olivia – she is closed off to having her own HEA – hell, she isn’t looking for a relationship, never mind a mate – and she does all she can to ignore her attraction to Thorne!
Poor Thorne, he knows that Sable is his fated one and will stop at nothing to win her round. Tough gig he’s been handed there, he’ll need all the luck he can get!!!
When we catch up with Thorne in Claimed he has requested the assistance of Loren and his Elven army as well as a Team from Archangel to help him in the battle against the King of the Fifth Realm and his army. This is just the beginning of an exciting adventure for the characters!!
Most of this book takes place in Hell where the war between the 3rd and 5th Realms – as well as the one in Sable’s heart – continues to pick up pace..
If you remember the guest appearance from a couple of well loved characters in ‘Kissed’ you’ll be more than a tad delighted when you see who pops up in Claimed… (I’m saying no more, you’ll just have to read the book and work it out for yourself!!) 😉
As we have come to expect, Felicity has given us a story that is fast paced, full of action, intrigue & adventure – with a feisty kick-ass heroin & a decidedly determined demon.
Filled with loads of passion, heat & romance as well as a touch of humour Claimed is a brilliant addition to the Eternal Mates series. With the addition of witches (light & dark), werewolves & vampires and the introduction of some new and very interesting characters, we have loads to think about for future books.
Claimed By A Demon King is a solid 5* read for me and I can’t wait for the next instalment!!
I would suggest that you read Kissed By A Dark Prince before you start Claimed though it could be read as a standalone.

MY REVIEW
I’ve been looking forward to the ‘MARKED’ anthology since it was announced that it was coming out!
The main draw in the beginning for me was Kit Rocha’s ‘Beyond Temptation‘ – I totally adore the ‘BEYOND‘ books & the world/sectors that the Kit Rocha girls have given us so, as you’d expect, I was beyond excited to read the new novella in the series (which is one of my Top 5 series EVER)!! – but as I read through the book I realised that I’d found another author who’s books I’m just gonna love!!!
Beyond Temptation (Beyond series #3.5): Kit Rocha
LOVED, LOVED, LOVED IT!! Gods, Emma & Noah’s story was way hotter than I expected it to be and added a great plot arc to the whole series… Looking forward to watching this play out!
Have to say that I’ve got a little thing going for the ‘new boy’ in Sector 4! 😉
‘Beyond Temptation‘ has loads of action and a few twists that keep you gripped and the sex, as always, just about causes spontaneous combustion!!!
Noah and his secrets about events in both their pasts & Emma’s reaction to revelations made had me wanting to shake both of them at times….
The attraction and heat between N & E was intense – exactly what we’ve come to expect from the KR girls and this series!!! Can’t wait for Beyond Jealousy – just know Ace, Rach & Cruz‘s story is gonna blow our minds!!!
********************************************
Rocky Ride (Thompson & Sons series #1): Vivian Arend
I have to be honest and say that while I’ve had a couple of Viv’s books on my kindle for some time now I’ve never got round to reading them…. that will be resolved VERY soon!!!
‘Rocky Road‘ was a fantastic read and a fab start to the new ‘Thompson & Sons’ series. With characters from Vivian’s ‘Six Pack Ranch‘ series, this book was full of heat, passion and sexy scenes!!
Great, likeable characters. The relationship that was growing between Anna & Mitch was scorching and my heart was aching reading about how much they are prepared to put on the line to be together…..
Itching to read ‘Baby, Be Mine’ book #2 in the series!!
********************************************
All That Remains: Lauren Dane
I’ve read a couple of Lauren‘s ‘Visits to Petal‘ books and thoroughly enjoyed them!!
‘All That Remains‘ was an incredibly hot, erotic & sexy read but it also had a very sweet feel to it. I loved Charlie, he was my fave character of the triad. I totally understood Summers uncertainty and why she held back from Hatch after their past history.. Hatch, even when being a complete idiot is still irresistible!!
I really loved the whole dystopian style world that this story suggested. Being back to basics and living a simple life gave focus to what was really important between the 3 characters.
I’ll definitely be 1-clicking more of Lauren’s books.
The anthology was a 5* read for me.. and a definite must have if you are a fan of a great hot story!!!

Recommendation & Review ~ Craving Constellations by Nicole Jacquelyn
Posted by Book Loving Pixies

BLURB:
“How is it, that someone can make decision after decision attempting to get away from their past and somehow end up right back where they started?”
When Brenna decided to leave the only life she’d ever known, she never thought she’d ever be back. Now, five years later she’s running from her clean cut husband straight back to the motorcycle club that raised her… and the man she left behind. She left with a secret, and as soon as she returns the truth will break her carefully constructed life wide open.
MY REVIEW:
I had heard a few things, all positive, before I got to reading Craving Constellations. I have to say, for me, they were all correct!!
Nicole Jacquelyn gave us a fantastic first book in the Aces MC series and I honestly couldn’t believe it was her first published book!!!! I loved it – it’s one of my Top 10 reads of 2013 (I’ve already read it 3 times and it will be a favourite ‘Go To’ book I know!!)
There’s enough reviews already that tell you what the story is all about so I’m not gonna go into it!
The one thing I will say is that violence to women isn’t something that I would necessarily want to read about but in certain situations I can work my way through it…… as hard to read as it may be!!
I liked all of the main characters we met – didn’t always like that they did or said but for me they rounded out the story well. I absolutely hated the wife beating bastard that Brenna was running away from and the twisted ex of Dragon’s was a bitch… but I have to say they were well written for me to hate them as I did!!!
Craving Constellations isn’t gonna be everyone’s kind of read but if you like your MC books a little darker and grittier then this is one you’ll love.
I am looking forward to the next book in the series ~ Craving Redemption ~ I’m sure I’m gonna love it as much as I did CC.

Recommendation: Masquerade (Book #10, Vampire Realms series) by Felicity Heaton
Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Masquerade by F E Heaton
“Ten years have passed since Sophis and Vivek, two vampires of the Venia bloodline, came close to death at the hands of twin hunters Aleksis and Izabella Romanov. The events of that night turned Sophis and Vivek against each other, shattering their close friendship and driving them apart.
Now, on the eve of a centenary Creator Day masquerade and at a time when things between them are dangerously close to separating them forever, they uncover a small army of vampire hunters in Saint Petersburg, led by their nemeses, Aleksis and Izabella.
With the safety of the rulers of the seven pure vampire bloodlines in their hands and their chance for vengeance hanging in the balance, can Sophis and Vivek face their past and overcome their differences? Will they realise their true feelings for each other before it’s too late or will the hunters finally claim their lives as their deadly plot to destroy the bloodlines unfolds?”
My wee review:
As with all of the others in the Vampire Realms series, I love this book!! Felicity has created a world & a cast of heroes and heroines that I just love to visit!!
Fantastic main characters with lots of passion, attraction & tension. The story moves along at a quick, action packed pace.
I was so pleased to see most of our old favourite heroes at the ball!!
Another great success from Felicity. I look forward to reading the next book in the VR series!!

REVIEW & RECOMMENDATION ~ The Lost Souls (A Holy Trinity Novella) by Madeline Sheehan
Posted by Book Loving Pixies

‘THE LOST SOULS’ by MADELINE SHEEHAN
BLURB
“Tahyra Petros tried desperately to save herself and her sister, and instead ended up forever changed.
Shandor Asenov battled with death, and lost.
Hockey Sava, in a valiant attempt at saving his friends, vanished.
Caroline Andrews lost her brother during a violent attempt at survival and was subsequently left alone in the hands of fate.
And, Marko Siwak disappeared in the middle of the night and was never heard from again.
These are the stories of their journeys lost in a world where devastation knows no boundaries, where enemies await them at every turn, and where heartache, loss, and death supersede happiness, peace, and love…and the destiny that awaits them.”
MY REVIEW
I’ve been looking forward to ‘The Lost Souls’ since I finished book #2, ‘My Soul To Take’ and boyza, I was not disappointed…. Madeline has created an awesome world full of darkness, magic, love, loss & heartache and I loved every single second of the emotional rollercoaster I found myself on!
In ‘The Lost Souls’ we catch up with characters we met in the previous 2 books. Hockey, Shandor, Carrie, Marko and a few others. The book covers the time from the guys in the clan leaving camp to go on the unsuccessful raid until slightly before the point where we left things at the end of MSTT.
We get glimpses of Xan and see how much he is suffering from the loss of Trinity and his subsequent finding out that she may still be alive – glad to say he has (finally) given up his manwhoring ways, but I’m still mad at him…. what a stupid, stupid man, that is so gonna bite him in the butt very soon!!!
We catch up with Becki who, once again, isn’t leading the life she would chose if she had a choice. We see Nico, Tobar and some other clan members and find out what happens with them.
‘The Lost Souls’ doesn’t just apply to Trin/Xan/Gerik and their separation and/or relationship but takes on a whole new meaning when we look at the characters in this book and the path their lives have taken since we last saw them.
I am a HUGE paranormal fan and I just ADORE the Trinity books. ‘The Lost Souls’ beautifully ties together what has happened so far in ‘The Soul Mates’ & ‘My Soul To Take’ and sets us up for the final instalment ‘My Heart & Soul’ which is due out in the summer of 2014. I haven’t been so excited about a book in quite a while and it’s gonna take all I have to wait patiently to find out how everything works out!!!
If you haven’t checked out this series yet, do so NOW, it is so worth the read!!!
I love that the story is so very different from most other books that are out there and the situations that the characters find themselves in are far removed from anything that could or would happen in everyday life.
The story will really make you think and, if you’re anything like me, you’ll cry bloody buckets but you’ll also laugh, smile and feel a little bit hopeful that maybe, just maybe, things will turn out right!!!
Can’t wait for more of the clan and to find out what happens with Xan, Trinity & Gerik the dragon….
Have to admit, I’m still #TeamXan….. 😉

Review & Recommendation – Her Wicked Angel (Her Angel #6) by Felicity Heaton
Posted by Book Loving Pixies
BLURB
The King of Demons and the Devil’s right hand man, Asmodeus is a dark angel born of evil and created for destruction. When his master orders him to venture into the mortal world and retrieve a female for him, he seizes the chance to leave Hell for the first time, uncaring of what the Devil has planned for her… until he sets eyes on the most beautiful woman he has ever seen—a female who awakens new feelings within his black heart, unleashing passion so intense that it controls him and desire he cannot resist.
He will not let his wretched master have her. She will belong to him.
Liora is a witch with a bad reputation and an obsession with fighting demons. A mission gone wrong sees her sent to Paris to cool off, but when a dark and deadly warrior with a gaze of golden fire lands in her life, she ends up burning hotter than Hell for the wicked angel. Nothing will stand between her and the immense, forbidding male. Not her cousin. Not Asmodeus’s sworn enemy and twin, Apollyon. And certainly not the Devil.
Caught up in a tempest of danger and soul-searing passion, can they survive against the odds and seize their forever after?

MY REVIEW
I’ve loved the ‘Her Angel’ series from Felicity Heaton since I read ‘Her Dark Angel’ which is Apollyon’s story!! Each book written has been better and hotter than the last… when we last visited the series in Her Demonic Angel (with Veiron, my favourite of all the guys ’til that point), I didn’t think Felicity could out do herself.. well, how wrong I was!!!
Her Wicked Angel takes the series to new heights. It introduces fantastic new characters, more twists, turns & surprises and ramps up the pace and tension of the continued storyline!!
We meet all our old favourites but Asmodeus and Liora add a new edge to the whole thing!!!
When we previously met Asmodeus he was positively evil, truly wicked and torturing poor Nevar….. When we meet him in HWA we see him from a different perspective and boy, is this guy a contradiction in terms.. A wicked angel, fashioned from evil, who is really innocent and naive in so many unexpected way and still kinda wicked – but in a really hot way !!! 😉
Asmodeus’s interactions with the other angels, especially Apollyon, are at times fun to watch and gods, how I love those hell hounds!!
Liora is one of the good guys (well, good witches) with a touch of a dark streak that has recently gotten her into some trouble – I honestly loved the fact that she wasn’t a goody, goody like her cousin!
The story was fast moving, action packed and filled with passion, romance, loads of tension and surprises!!
Felicity has hit the ball out of the park with book 6…. Can’t wait to see what she brings us in the next instalment!!!
If you haven’t read any of this series yet, do yourself a favour and get on it now!! Fantastic plot, great characters and loads of heat, passion and excitement, these books are a firm favourite of mine & definite go to reads again and again!!!!
This for me is a no questions 5* read – I would give it more *s if I could!!!!
**I received an ARC of this book from the author for an honest review**
