Malice's Soul by E.C Land

Trying so hard not to spoil this.

OK so I have wrote this more than once as trying to not give any spoilers and they keep creeping in. So this will be short.

Malice caught my interest in Hammer's Pride so I was so pleased to read this. Devil's Riot MC no matter where they are based I love them.

Malice having so many issues with his family I wasn't surprised with how this book played out but the author still managed a few surprises in there and I was kept interested throughout. 

Willow was sweet and innocent but you could see there interest even in book 1 really but with this being more of Novella length I feel like there is so much more that we could see from both of them really. 

Hoping that the snippets we see in future books will help with this or maybe something will be released further down the line with them.

This can be read as a standalone but there are little bits from Hammers book and even from the other chapters of the MC too. Its definitely a series I am going to be watching for releasing as I really want to know what happens next. Hooked already.

Taming Coyote by E.C Land

Love Tinsley and Coyotes story. 

When first started this I thought the love interest was someone else and the twist in the story was great to see though it did mean I couldn't put it down to see what else I could have possibly missed or could be unexpected. 

There are some darker undertones to this book compared to some of the others in the series. Especially as it puts a baby at risk as well so if you have triggers or things you don't like reading about might be worth checking.

I would and have said to a few others about reading this book especially those who enjoy MC romance books in general. Can't wait to get more. Think going to have to reread them all soon.

Savage Hero by Logan Fox

Great start.

This is the first book and I an looking forward to see what happens next with Nyx's story. She seems like such an interesting character as a female assassin but who obviously still has a heart. 

I love strong female characters and Nyx definitely still had sass even whilst she is caught by Savage and cover has been blown. 

I feel like there is more that can be discovered about both the characters as I don't feel really learnt too much here so hopes are really set on what will happen next. 

I did however enjoy this as a quick read and would recommend to others.

Natural Born Killers by Lucy Smoke

Great end to Avalon and Dean's story. 

I absolutely adore this series I was really worried that this book was going to let it down but I loved it so much. 

Avalon is still very much her own woman but you can really see how much her relationship with Dean has grown. He would do anything for her but she's more than willing and able to get her own hands dirty.

This series isn't necessarily for the faint hearted and this one was bit more gruesome than the others but it fit exactly what the book seemed to be showing us of the pair.

Definitely highly recommend book and series for any who like dark romances. This was the end of the couple but not the end of the series. I for one can't wait for what comes next.

Stone Cold Queen by Lucy Smoke

Just keeps getting better.

OK so I went straight from Pretty Little Savage into Stone Cold Queen and damn I had some issues as even though was late at night I still couldn't put it down. Sleeps not needed as much as reading this book.

The aftermath of book 1s ending is pretty much where this takes off. You can already tell though that Avalon's luck isn't going to improve much by the brief glimpse the prologue gives you. 

However, that definitely doesn't in a way detract from the story as you go at all. Though it sits in your mind so you know you need to know more.

Dean certainly starts to show his softer though still bossy side which is nice. Also pleased to see that Avalon still gives him the run around and attitude though as he definitely needs it.

Series is a hit so far can't wait to read conclusion of Avalon and Dean's story. If not read and enjoy contemporary bully romance then you need to give this a try.

Pretty Little Savage by Lucy Smoke

Why did I wait so long?!

I just love Avalon so much and her attitude just has me hooked. Nothing really can beat a girl who is bad a$$ all on her own though you definitely know she could use some love in her life.

So then enters the Sick Boys those who rule the campus. Having never really been told No its certainly funny to see their reactions to Avalon when she arrives. Especially leader and Main Male Character Dean. His hate for her yet undeniable attraction has me unable to look away and just glad she's willing to give him the trouble that he deserves.

After all the hype I was a little worried that I would like it but damn I loved it so much I'm hooked. I couldn't put it down at all and plan on going straight into the next one.

Court of Midnight by Helen Scott and Lucinda Dark

Twisted Fae comes to an end.

After cliffhanger of the last book it took me longer to start this than I would have liked and than is normal as I just wasn't sure I was ready for the series to end. 

Overall I enjoyed the book though I felt the ending was a bit more rushed than what I would have liked as there was so much more focus on the build up than the battle.

There was also some unanswered questions though I can assume most likely so we can make up our own answers I will also hold out hope that there is more to come in a novella or for another character.

Cress remained a favourite strong willed female with a kind heart even when treated so poorly by others. Her guys are all different but I loved them all in their own way which is awesome. 

Recommended for those who enjoy Fae RH Romance books especially now the series is completed.

Marked by Eva Winners

I can't believe I didn't know about this till now.

Only with the second book being advertised did I learn there was already one out there so of course I rushed to read. I'm so glad I did. 

This Russian Mafia series starts with 3 American girls travelling through Europe and ending up in Russia before heading home only after ducking out on her friends and security guy Anastasia is kidnapped.

Her father contacts head of the Russian Sinners Dimitry to try and get him and his "brothers" to find her and keep her safe. I loved the dynamics between the three guys they all grew up together in a Russian orphanage and are closer than blood in a lot of ways. It's clear to see how important they all are to each other.

The relationship with Anastasia and Dimitry is interesting to watch as they end up spending more time together. However, it's not all easy rides of course and you can clearly see how strong Anastasia is throughout the book and as you learn more about her history. 

Was hooked all the way through and desperate for more when the next book which moves on to another couple. Anyone who enjoys Mafia style books needs to give this a read.

Until Selma by Harley Stone

Worth the Wait.

After meeting Tavonte in the Dead Presidents MC Series I was dying to see his book and when he returned home I wasn't sure how that would be. However I enjoyed this book showing his return home to his family after being away in the military.

He's came here rather than staying with the MC as his teenager sister has been seeing an older man and giving his mother grief so was interested to see how this would be resolved as well as his love interest.

Selma I loved as the female lead character as she is complete book worm and has self esteem issues so seeing her find her happily ever after with the hunky military guy was awesome. Also her reaction to how much he's changed since high school definitely a plus.

This can be read as a standalone novel and I recommend that you do as soon as possible as a quick light romance.

Beautiful Fool by L.J Findlay

Ohhh the fun continues.

After the ending of Little Doll I have been twiddling my thumbs impatiently waiting for this book and I couldn't stop myself from diving right in. 

Gemma as I character I loved, she did get little whiney more than once, but she was the beautiful nieve fool that book said but at the same time was completely relatable in her insecurities. 

You also know that although not strong naturally that she really was working through them and can see growth at end of the book not just the exact same as she was in the first book and throughout which is awesome.

Bastien I really wanted to hate at the beginning after how he was with Gemma but I also could see how well they fit and just couldn't stop myself for routing for them.

I'm making the rest very brief as I don't want to give away anything and after writing 3 times and doing just that this was a great second book and that has left me wanting to see more of the group and see how the other love interests go as well as everyone overall.

The writing is super and I honestly can't believe this is only the second novel by the writer. Can't wait to see more. If you are a contemporary romance reader especially those interested in the sub genres of Secret Societies or darker themes then you really need to read this Queens of Chaos series.
