Brutal Birthright by Elliott Rose

Blurb

He’s a warlord… and she’s the one he cannot claim.

Black-hearted warrior.
Ruthless in battle.
… Professor?
Rowan of Nocturne has no desire to join the academic staff at Astracadia Academy. But when tragedy strikes, his only option is to step into the training arena and commit to a role that makes his skin crawl. For an entire, torturous year.
Three centuries of having blood on his hands has taken a brutal toll. All he wants is to be left the fuck alone.
He sure as shit doesn’t need the distraction of the pretty fae he can’t get out of his mind. Especially one he is forbidden from touching.

***

Talented fighter.
Sister to the Queen.
…Student?
Oriana has one goal in mind. Succeed in reaching the elite Astral ranks, where only the strongest few from amongst the student candidates will be chosen. One year of sucking it up and being enrolled at Astracadia will finally allow her to prove herself.
The only problem is, the witch in command–the heavily tattooed brute overseeing the training arena–is out to humiliate her at every turn. He thinks she’s nothing more than a mouthy, irresponsible little girl. But she’s already survived one battle with Rowan of Nocturne, and she won’t allow him to ruin this opportunity for her.
No matter how often he consumes and invades her dreams.
However, outside the academy walls there are bigger problems than an illicit connection between teacher and student. Something dark is coming for them all. A portal to an unknown realm has been opened. The scent of battle lingers in the air.

Nothing can sway either of them from their mission… until one stolen moment, one kiss, changes everything.

Perfect for fans of Immortals After Dark by Kresley Cole, Lords of the Underworld by Gena Showalter, or the Sinner Sisterhood by Lana Pecherczyk. This is a M/F paranormal-dark fantasy romance with HEA guaranteed. (For readers 18+)

The Fae Princes by Nikki St. Crowe Book Review

This post may contain affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission, at no extra cost to you, if you make a purchase through a link. Read the Disclosure here.

The Fae Princes by Nikki St. Crowe

Blurb

I thought Peter Pan was a myth and Neverland a fairytale. A story spun by my mother who had lost her mind a long time ago.

But there was no denying the overwhelming shadow cast by Peter Pan when he was standing in my house.

Pan took me captive to Neverland and I somehow found my place among him and the Lost Boys.

I’ve never looked back.

Now I’m entangled right alongside him in a war we can’t seem to escape. We thought we had defeated our enemies.

We thought we could finally have our happily ever after.

But there was one enemy we never saw coming.

A fairy who has nothing to lose and everything to gain.

The fairy with golden wings and a dark, twisted heart.

She wants Neverland and she’ll stop at nothing to have it. Including destroying anyone who stands in her way, even her own flesh and blood.

NOTE: The Fae Princes is a reimagining of Peter and Wendy. Characters have been aged up for this darker, grittier version. If you like your enemies to lovers romance with hot, ruthless, morally gray love interests, you’ll enjoy this series. You can expect hate kissing, fighting, bickering, and ‘touch her and I’ll unalive you’ vibes. The Fae Princes is the final book in the main storyline for the Vicious Lost Boys Series.

Does It Hurt? By HD Carlton Book Review

Blurb

Who am I?

I’ve forgotten the answer to that question long ago. Ever since I ran from that house, so desperate to escape, I left with only the clothes on my back and socks on my feet. After that day, I’ve only ever walked in stolen shoes.

Could I be a girl who is searching for the meaning of life in faceless men? They were all so forgettable. Until he came along. He took me under a waterfall and made me forget my name, and in return, I took his instead.

Enzo Vitale.

An enigmatic man that will only ever love the deep sea. Or rather the predators that inhabit it. Turns out, he’s not so different than the monsters he feeds. He lured me onto his boat like a fish in the ocean, seeking vengeance for my crime. Had I realized his intentions, and that a massive storm would leave us shipwrecked, I would’ve run.

Now, I’m a girl who’s seeking refuge in a decrepit lighthouse with a man who loathes me almost as much as he craves me. He wants to hurt me, but the old caretaker of the abandoned island may have intentions far more sinister.

It’s no longer a question of who I am, but rather, will I survive?

The Queen’s Temptation by Elliott Rose Book Review

This post may contain affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission, at no extra cost to you, if you make a purchase through a link. Read the Disclosure here.

Blurb

He’s her bodyguard, and she’s committed to her crown.

Charmer. Rogue. Protector.

In his three hundred years Niall of Nocturne had never pretended to be a good man–or Witch for that matter.

It was meant to be a moment of hedonistic pleasure, until the beautiful Fae he met in the tavern that night ran away after just one kiss.

It should have been simple. Pure pleasure. No emotions attached.

No matter how gorgeous or captivating she was, he shouldn’t be thinking of her still. The mysterious woman he now can’t get out of his mind no matter how hard he tries.

The one who just walked into the room wearing a crown.

His mission was supposed to be simple: act as personal bodyguard and magical escort to the soon-to-be crowned Queen of the Fae.

The problem is… now that he’s had a taste of the forbidden, can he bring himself to let her go?

***

Fierce. Duty-bound. Queen.

Ruby inherited a crown dripping with the blood of her lineage. A royal bloodline bound for eons by an ancient curse.

She was never meant to sit on the Fae throne.

While the alluring, roguish Witch might have easily seduced her that night, she came to her senses the moment their kiss was interrupted.

It was meant to be one last night of personal freedom before fulfilling her duty. A future sacrificed indefinitely to the crown and bound to an unwanted political betrothal.

Discovering her fated mate was never part of the plan.

Neither was finding her handsome stranger waiting for her in the Fae Court. The Witch now entrusted with being her round the clock protection as Queen.
Now temptation has left her no choice… the curse placed on Fae Royals will always claim its victims. She’ll do everything in her power to ensure her mate never discovers the truth.

Corrupted Chaos by Shain Rose Book Review

This post may contain affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission, at no extra cost to you, if you make a purchase through a link. Read the Disclosure here.

Blurb

My enemy doesn’t make the rules behind closed doors…
Even if he’s my boss.

Cade Armanelli might be an infamous hacker with billionaire status who operates better alone, but I earned my spot working alongside him…
Whether he likes it or not.

It’s precisely why I’m on the first plane to an undisclosed location for our cybersecurity team retreat. I’m ready to prove to our company that I can handle anything…
Except sharing a cabin and a bed with my meticulous, elusive boss.

He’s antisocial.
Ruthless.
Enemy number one.
Unfortunately, he’s also number one in tatted, dark, and dangerous. I quickly come to find that not only are his hacking skills perfection, but so is his performance in the bedroom.

Not that it matters. I have a job to keep, a heart to protect, and our nation’s data to secure.
Cade can’t help me with any of that.
He’s a distraction. One I have to avoid…
Even if it means I’m spray painting a red line down our bed and keeping my boss on his side.

Corrupted Chaos is a light mafia standalone romance with forced proximity, steam, and a tech mogul that will fight and grovel for a HEA with his spitfire woman.

Talk about making you reconsider your life choices.
These four are aiming for Santa’s naughty list, and I’m pretty sure I’m getting:
