The Blood King (Inferno Rising #2) by Abigail Owen - New Release and Review

The Blood King
(Inferno Rising #2)
by Abigail Owen

Blurb

Ruthless dragon king Ladon Ormarr must keep his throne at all costs. And now, with war on the horizon, he’ll need a miracle. Luckily, the fates have dropped Skylar Amon right into his lap.

Except he may have met his match.

The feisty Amon sister has no fear — of him or any other dragon shifter — is brash, doesn’t stick to protocols, and regularly offends his warriors and advisers.

Skylar also has no intention of sticking around. She doesn't believe in the whole destined mates thing and believes all dragon kings to be dangerous. But if it means taking out the High King who murdered her parents, she'll put up with Ladon... temporarily.

But the fates have other plans. And when Skylar disappears in the middle of a battle, Ladon will burn down the world to find her.

Review

Fiery and feisty is how Skylar arrives to save her sister from an evil dragon she's mated to. She's obviously wrong about her sister, as she's very happily mated to Brand (book 1 of series). Landon is another dragon king, he is drawn to Skylar as soon as she arrives, but verbally claiming her was a bit forward lol

I do like a strong woman, one that appreciates her own strengths and isn't coy in the bedroom.

Landon and Skylar make an arrangement - a mating of convenience! Matings are not that simple and passion sizzles between them, even if Skylar tries to deny things are changing.

There is a battle going on in the dragon world, so expect a few grisly moments along the way.

I liked Skylar's introduction, but then found it a slower start, but it soon revved up and turned into an enjoyable read. Two fiery stubborn leads, lots of sizzle and of course some angst and danger mingled into the storyline.

New Release and Review - Makeshift Mate (Bad Alpha Dads, Meet Your Alpha) Alpha Singles Series

Makeshift Mate (Bad Alpha Dads, Meet Your Alpha)
Alpha Singles Series

“This single father gig isn't so hard. Not hard at all. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about, really. It's been a breeze! Or so I thought.”

When Alpha Locke Winfield’s pack decided it was time for him to step up and take care of his own child for once, his whole life turned upside down. Too busy for tea parties and ballet recitals, he hadn’t realized his daughter, Sara, was no longer a little girl. And preteens, he was learning, were a whole other breed.

Locke needed a woman. One who could do more than take care of his daughter. He couldn’t remember the last time a woman had taken care of him. Which was why he joined the online dating site, Alpha Singles.

Sara needed a mother. And Locke needed a mate. ASAP.

There were thousands of women out there. Surely he could find one who was willing to take on a workaholic Alpha Wolf and his moody preteen daughter.

Review

This story is about Locke, the Alpha of a wolf pack, and Isa the human business woman. 

Locke is a little moody, his a busy man with a daughter and a pack to run. When the pack do an intervention on him for being a 'bad dad' his forced to do something drastic - join an online dating site.

Isa is very successful in her business and works hard, she would like some love in her life and joined the site Alpha Singles.

Locke and Isa are a match by the computer but could they be in real-life? 

I thought Locke came across a bit draconian to begin with, looking for a woman to care for his daughter, cook and clean. Isa isn't impressed by his ideas either, but when he meets Isa things change for him.

The story is an enjoyable easy read.  The characthers are engaging and the storyline keeps you turning pages. I will be adding next book onto my TBR list.

Review Post - Survival Game (Men of London #9) by Susan Mac Nicol

 

Heartwarming, Immersing and Sexy

Survival Game (Men of London #9)

by Susan Mac Nicol

Since his true love died, paramedic Eric Kirby has been living a half life, but when he meets purple-haired Kyle Tripper, Eric's heart is jolted into a whole new rhythm.

HANDLE...

Kyle Tripper has led an interesting life. Currently the manager of London's famous Club Delish, he used to be a croupier extraordinaire in Las Vegas. But not everything in that life was so glamorous; his ex was a piece of work. Now gun-shy, Kyle hopes there is someone special out there for him, and secretly wishes it's luscious paramedic, Eric Kirby.

WITH CARE

Every day Eric Kirby goes through the motions. Yeah, he saves lives, and, sure, he makes a difference, but he doesn't feel it anymore - not since he lost his one true. But, when he meets wild, flamboyant Kyle Tripper and learns there's a skittish, apprehensive man beneath the bold façade, the best of Eric's protective nature kicks in, and opens his heart to a new love.

MY REVIEW

Kyle and Eric have both been damaged by life, one by an abusive partner the other through a partner dying - these things both take their toll on the characthers. I found the author dealt really well with the issues - no magic cure, just patience, and therapy!

I have read this authors work before but this is my first in this series, I took to the characrthers well, yes I would have known the backstory to some of the extra characthers if I had read the whole series but I had no trouble following the story.

The author writes so well and immerses you in her story.

This is a heartwarming story, that runs fairly smoothly just a few little bumps along the way in this warm romance.

Satan's Son by Simone Elise - New Release - Arc Review

Satan's Son

by Simone Elise

BLURB

You never expect to meet your soulmate after you die. And you definitely never expect your soulmate not to have a soul at all. 

But that’s what happened to Addison. One minute she’s walking along in her average life, worrying about curfew, and the next minute she’s in hell.

Addison was living a typical teenager’s life before being dragged down to hell to atone for her sins on Earth. She must now make up for her bad behavior but is not expecting to meet her match in Ethan. Devilish good looks, charming smirk, an attitude to match, oh, and he’s Satan’s Son. Addison must now navigate the channels of hell with the reluctant guidance of Ethan as he atones for his own error. But could his mistake be closer linked to Addison’s death than she knows? Neither Addison or Ethan were planning to find love but now that they’re here, which will it be: Heaven or Hell?

ARC REVIEW

I've just finished this book and I have to say I really enjoyed it, it's not a masterpiece but is entertaining and funny.

Addison has died and has gone to hell - she hardly did anything wrong in life so we should all be worried lol! Well, she gets her sentence and has an instructor to show her the ropes- Ethan.

Ethan is Satans son, he has had a thing for Addison for years and suddenly she is in his new arrival queue. This is his chance to get to know her more.

Ethan has a surprise, Addison is annoying, very annoying, some would say immature but I found her funny and under her annoying ways, there was a young woman learning to care about someone other than herself. 

Ethan wasn't perfect, his moody and distant to begin with - he's just protecting himself - he's a sucker for punishment!

We have a wait to get to 'a moment' but when it does happen I had a massive grin on my face.

If you looking for an entertaining, lighter pnr read you should enjoy this.

3.75 stars
