Midnight Days by Anna Zaires - New Release - Review




NEW RELEASE: MIDNIGHT DAYS is NOW LIVE!!

Book 2 is here at last, and the White Nights duet is now complete! Charmaine Pauls and I are so excited to finally share the thrilling conclusion to Alex and Kate's story with our amazing readers.
Kate told herself it would only be one night—one night to give in to temptation, to go against her instincts, to experience him. But unbeknownst to her, one night is all it would take to fall deep into the dark and twisted world of Alex Volkov. Completely at Alex's mercy, Kate now has only two choices: freedom or love. What will she do? Find out now!


My Review

This is book 2 in a book duet and it's a great conclusion to Alex and Kates's story. 

The story starts where the previous book with Kate being whisked off to Russia for safety. 

I like a mafia-style book occasionally and Alex isn't exactly mafia but he's not exactly clean either! 

Alex tried to care for and protect Kate in his luxurious home but let's face it she was basically a prisoner. His intentions may have been good but why would an independent strong woman put up with that. So I was happy she kicked off and got him to loosen up a bit, as I missed the suave man I met in book 1. 

Let's talk heat, wow there's a lot of hot sex, not BDSM but Alex was definitely dominant in the bedroom. I wasn't so keen on the car scene as it was non-con, but it is a darker romance. 

I enjoyed this conclusion and was happy with the ending.

Review Post - The Krinar Captive (The Krinar Chronicles #4) by Anna Zaires



The Krinar Captive (The Krinar Chronicles #4)

BLURB

A new standalone romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Twist Me and The Krinar Chronicles 

Emily Ross never expected to survive her deadly fall in the Costa Rican jungle, and she certainly never thought she’d wake up in a strangely futuristic dwelling, held captive by the most beautiful man she’d ever seen. A man who seems to be more than human… 

Zaron is on Earth to facilitate the Krinar invasion—and to forget the terrible tragedy that ripped apart his life. Yet when he finds the broken body of a human girl, everything changes. For the first time in years, he feels something more than rage and grief, and Emily is the reason for that. Letting her go would compromise his mission, but keeping her could destroy him all over again. 

NOTE: This is a full-length, standalone romance that takes place approximately five years before The Krinar Chronicles trilogy (aka Mia & Korum’s story). You do not have to have read that trilogy to enjoy this book.





MY REVIEW

Zaron has been sent early to earth to do surveys and find best places for Krinar settlements. On one of his walks he comes across a broken woman, and I mean broken she's more or less dead and broke her back BUT thanks to Krinar technology Zaron can save this woman.

Emily awakes in the most comfortable bed she has ever been in, unaware where she is or why she is there. When a stunningly handsome man comes into check on her she is even more confused - this is just the beginning though as she is about to find out his an alien and she is in an intelligent house!

Zaron is drawn to Emily and Emily can't help noticing how gorgeous he is, he cares for her and feeds her, he eventually has to tell her she can't leave, and she's his temporary captive.

This isn't the most exciting book if I'm honest but I did enjoy it, I have read The Krinar series featuring Korum and Mia and fell for these aliens. This book is basically the two of them coming together in all senses of the word! There is some angst near the end but it's generally an easy read.

The sensual/sex in this book is very hot, Emily's alien has a lot of stamina and knows how to satisfy a woman. The sexy scenes certainly warm you up on a cold night!

I love the Krinar world and all its fab technology. 

I enjoyed this story and would love to read more about Krinar in the future.

My Review

There's a great selection of stories in this anthology and introduce you to authors you may not have read before.  It took me forever to read the whole book, it's the first time I've ever read a whole anthology, but I enjoyed it.  It's great value at 99p

Overall with the whole book I'd say 4.5 stars rounded up to 5 as it's such a great buy! 

Below was my favourite's from the book. 


Close Liaisons 

A rich alpha male and a virgin college student.....  Except the alpha is an alien......yes there are similarities to another series but if you read the whole book there's more to this story than the similarities.

When a tall handsome man sets his sights on you and won't leave you be, some may call it stalking but Kornan seems to think his wooing Mia, he is an alien so he gets some leeway.

Mia is a little too naive , she's a virgin and says yes a little to easily, not only to Kornan, but the resistance as well.  I have to admit I wanted her to stand up  for herself more and not put up with all of the human put downs, and his comments about her  clothes, well he'd have blue balls!

Kornan, his above humans, his arrogant, controlling, secretive, a great cook, caring and super hot in the bedroom - they spend a lot of time in the bedroom, it is an erotic book.

I loved the world building and I loved to dislike Kornan, but there was part of him I liked too....  I'm interested to see where they go in the relationship and if some of his controlling was down to what was going on in this storyline,  I'm one of those that always want to fall for the leading man, so I'll be reading book 2. 

**********

The Time Stopper 

This is an interesting introduction to a characther.

Mira is Russian and can split time, just like her dad and brother, unfortunately, she can't change anything while time is frozen, but can read people's memories, which is a useful skill.

In this novella, we learn about Mira and her family and what she plans to do, in this book she partially completes her task. 

It does feel like an introduction to a story, not a whole book. 

I was interested in Victor and wonder if he features in other books? 

I liked Mira and will look up other books in this series.

**********
C e black 

Adam and Nikki are heading off on honeymoon, they can't  keep their hands or eyes off each other.  Nikki has to gain some control of her emotions and get on with her undercover job.

It appears both Adam and Nikki have kept secret.  

There's a good balance of loving couple smooching and danger and angst.

Nikki isn't a woman that needs protection, she knows how to kick ass, but it just happens that Adam is a tad stronger and faster than her and has some built in weapons! 

Adam, he smolders around Nikki, he can't help but want her a lot of the time, he also can't help protecting her even if she does state she can cope.

It was fun having a character from previous books appear in this book, it's one I was fond of! 

A great addition to the Alpha Division series.


************

Capturing her bear  by Charlie Daye

I loved this story, bear shifters are great to read about.  The world building was perfect and made me want to visit the den!  The story held your interest and  warmed you inside. 

This was my first read from this author and I know I want to read next book in series and explore her other books. 


**************

Walking dead girl by Lili Saint Germain

This is an a vampire book and the start is quite dark.  The characthers are great and the story intriguing.  Why do authors always she me like the baddie!  I need book two like now! 

**************

Zane by R E Butler

This is as fun read, my first gorilla shifter read.  Zane was very manly and protective of his mate Adrianna.  It's obviously animal magic instant love, but it's cute. 

************

Captives kiss by Sharon kay 

Tanner is a watcher, he goes off to visit hades nightclub I. The 'heat season' while there he meets saige and they get jiggy.  They do t expect to see each other again but while on a mission tanner runs into saige and how curiosity is peeked, his determined to find out why she's so elusive. 

I love lash demons they're so macho and tanner is no different, they're also quite the gentleman until the lady gives the go ahead then they're all man! 

This is a short read but makes me want more lash demons now.
