The Bad Guy by Celia Aaron

It’s been a while since I read a dark romance that doesn’t makes me cringe or roll my eyes. LOL. But seriously, it’s either too dark, too much sex or repetition of other known anti-hero story plot. I am so glad I found this book since I am not aware of the author and surprise its one shot story! If you notice, I always go for a series since I usually fall in love with the supporting casts. Anyways, let me tell you why I enjoy this book!

Honestly, Sebastian Lindstorm reminds me of  Remington Tate (REAL – Katy Evans) with how intense they are. The difference is –  Sebastian is Psychopath while Tate is Bipolar. Both have inborn mental/emotional illness that makes them who they are now.  And a love-at-first-sight with they’re the ONE, changes everything in their lives. n intense alpha male who will do anything to keep their female whether it is right or wrong.

Celia Aaron successfully portrays the hero in a way I sympathize with him even tho I know what he’s doing is wrong. Seriously, kidnapping an in-a-relationship woman to let her love you so you can be together forever is kinda whack. (Well duh he is a Psycho!) Anyways, I think it also helps that the heroine is sort-of -into dark knights. I mean she secretly likes bad guys so being with Sebastian kinda makes sense and we thinks they are perfect with each other.

I love this book seriously! For a dark-romance kind of read, this is actually lighter than usual. No heavy drama and just enough sex to make the story interesting. Plus, the author just did a great job with the story flow and I really like that 🙂

Once a Marine, Always a Marine – Kori David

 

These are short books but damn if I didn’t love it! Fast paced, full of action with touch of suspense and drama. Kori David delivered it all from Book1 to Book 4! I was hesitant at first since it was kinda short, thinking the story might be rushed or insubstantial. Fortunately I am so wrong and truly enjoyed every pages I read.

I think what made the series entertaining despite being short is due to characters being old friends or lovers. The couples in every books shared the 2nd chance at love. Also, I really like that we didn’t have a whole chapter for backstory and just focused on the present situation. Plus, the whole damsel-in-distress saves by the Alpha macho ex marines were not bad. Yes, maybe a little cliche but Kori David wrote it without being too cheesy.

Over all,  if you want a quick read over the weekend, make sure to read Once a Marine, Always a Marine series. Seriously you will be totally entertained and will surely love the characters. They are present in every book since the series is all about the brotherhood. Plus can’t get enough of the babies! Adorable glimpses on following books are cute. 🙂

The Sinclairs by J. S. Scott

 

RICH, HOT, and POSSESSIVE are the perfect description for the Sinclair boys. ❤

It’s been a while since I read about Billionaire stories. Usually when I found one, its always had a dark theme to it. Most of the anti-heroes are freaking rich, but I am not in the mood for too much drama right now. That’s why I am so happy when I found JS Scott’s collection! Damn, but Sinclair men are my kind of guys at the moment 🙂

Sooo story started with grinch Grady Sinclair who lives alone in Amesport Town, when suddenly Emily Ashworth comes knocking on his door for assistance. After the initial lust with kind of love-at-first-sight attarction, the two fell in love and get married. (Ofcourse there is inbetween drama and action that you need to read for yourself) Thus, it is the start of love bug in the Sinclair family when Grady’s brothers started arriving in the little town.

Sinclair series is really good for a light, funny type of contemporary romance. It is sort-of like a Cinderella story. Lead men are all stinking rich while the women are commoners and have that damsel-in-distress peg. Seriously though, for a billionaire series, there is not much lavishness and luxurious description in the books, aside from the private jet each Sinclair man has. I’m just kinda disappointed in that part, I guess I am just expecting more.

Also, I am not fond of the character’s way of thinking too much. It is getting annoying when the heroine already said that in the beginning, and now she’s over analyzing everything again. I mean we can save pages for that part! I really hope the author do something about that.

Aside from that minor issues, I enjoy reading the books! I love the Sinclair men and their different personalities. My favorite is Evan coz I find him funny even though he did not mean it. hehe. Also, the storyline for each relatives is different so it gets better. In short, you gotta love the series for sure! 🙂

The Tairen Soul Series by CL Wilson

This is a loooongggg series. I repeat 5-book series about the Fey King – Tairen Soul and his truemate Ellysetta. It was all about magic, power, politics, war, death and love. If you want to indulge yourself to the world of Feys, Mages and Elves, better start reading “Lord of The Fading Lands”.

The story starts about Rain – The Fey King and Tairen Soul. After thousand years of seclusion when he incinerate thousand of people after raging fit, he leaves Fading Lands to find solution about their dying race. Instead of answers, he found his truemate who is Celerian, a commoner and a human with no powers – as they initially thought. As the story progress, Elysetta develops her power that slowly reveal her true identity as well.

Tairen Soul series is simply about Light vs Dark. How goodness of the Fey fights the evilness of the Mages. And in this long history of war, Elysetta is in the center of everything.

Sooooo I love magic, as in fantasy series are my favorites. CL Wilson did an impeccable job in creating a world that is so rich with history and magic that includes remarkable characters. Since the author writes different characters’ POV, it’s either you love or hate them kind of feeling when I read the stories.

The series was really good storyline wise, but I really felt its too long? For me, there are parts that can be excluded or minimize; such as the Celerian court, Mage POV, and Baristani family. The writing is a bit slow for my taste that sometimes its kinda annoying that I just have to skim it away. The good part tho is you’re kinda more invested to the story and its characters. Because really, I cried when Elysetta’s Mama and the truemates died. So much for the rollercoaster emotion. >.<

Anyways, if you are ready for a long escape from reality, better start reading Tairen Soul Series by downloading EPUB copy below. You may also follow the book sequence listed as your guide.

1. Lord of The Fading Lands

Tornians Series by M.K. Eidem

This alien abduction kind of romance are the stories I usually read after I had long intense emotional-wrecking kind of book. Because most of the time alien stories are short, light, funny and have a happy ending. Sooo it was kinda surprising that Tornian series is a little bit longer than I anticipated. As well as story wise, it had rich story plot same as the shifter books I love to read. To say I like Tornians series is an understatement! M.K. Eidem did an amazing job creating story that runs my imagination wild. Because of that, she’s one of my faves now. 🙂

Basically these aliens abducting “unprotected” Earth women was due to their compatibility to provide offspring to Tornian males. Because of the epidemic brought by Goddess’ madness, a female born Tornian became so rare that the ratio of their population is 100 male to 1 female. In short, their species are dying and they need to find compatible women to breed. Since female are so rare, they are very precious wherein laws and policies revolved around them. Its all about their safety, privileged and other outrageous practices that benefit them. So it is really funny when Earth women came to their planet and act freely that made warriors, lords, king and emperor look like a boy into their teenage years. xD

Tornian series have everything. Rich history, evil-conniving bitch, loyal and brave warriors, loving women and loca Goddess. 🙂 It has lots of action moments, sexcapade, and magic. The ‘love-at-first-sight’ kind of romance is very very evident in the story.

If you want something to smile about, start reading Tornian Series by MK Eidem. You may check the book sequence below and download the EPUB copy as well.

Boston Underworld Series by A. Zavarelli

This is about Irish mob with a little Italian mafia feels. The typical underground syndicate with lots of fighting, illegal money and alpha-ness. It was the usual day in criminal world when suddenly a half Irish born woman fights in a ring and knocked out a big mobster. Caught the eye of Lachlan Crow, the underboss; then there goes the seductions, hot sex, and lies. The plan of looking for BFF turned out into being the underboss’ woman and getting pregnant with his baby. With all the killings and kidnappings, love undeniably blossomed between the main couples. I love how A. Zavarelli wrote her stories with conflicting emotions. Provide depth for the characters 🙂

For Book 2 to 4, its kinda same pattern. Heroine in need of saving and here comes this hot smexy alpha machoness to save her broken soul. The background stories of these females were really something serious and I kinda understand how they turned out the way they are. Damaged and abused emotionally and physically, yet they found that special someone to depend on after everything. I’m kinda happy for them especially they were given a chance to create a family with the babies coming up. 🙂

Boston Underworld series is really entertaining. I love the action and everyting about the Mafia / Mobster world. You know what I mean, killings and all that war for power. Nonetheless, its still one of the best 🙂 Love the story pacing as well as the characters. Especially it is a HEA, and its my always my favorite whenever little cherubs are born into the story. Totally cute! ❤

The Kings Series by Heather Killough-Walden

If you want to read this series, go back and read the Big Bad Wolf series first. The werewolves there are very much relevant  with the 13 Kings that will found their queens eventually. So… peg back a little so you can better understand everything 🙂

Soooo how do I start? 13 Kings equates to 13 Queens and 13 supernatural realms! Yes, magic, magic, magic! Give me more maaaaggggiiiccccc!!!! 😀 I enjoy reading this series and I’m still a little bit salty about the cliffhanger since Book 11-13 is not yet released! Uuuggghhh the suspense of knowing who that damn traitor is. After all the betrayal and deaths, I cant wait!

Heather-Killough Walden really improved her writing in this series.The pace isn’t as fast as before and more depth for the characters. The little details in describing the different realms are also amazing as well. I love that the old characters are still interrelated to the new ones and the mysteries to be solved are endless! Don’t even forget the deaths! I think this had been the only series I read which had the most number of resurrected people. Thank God for the Warlock King and Lalura Chantelle. Seriously, when will I know what and who is Lalura Chantelle really is?! And that damn traitor! Ughhhh! I can’t handle the suspense T.T

Overall, this is one hell of a magical series. The Kings are alphas of all alpha men and the Queens are just bad-ass as well. Oh did I mention the villain in this series? At first we just have the annoying hunters, then we got another ancient vampires! After that the Gods were revealed and now we fight the unknown called the Entity. Seriously, the war is never ending until the 13 queens are found. I hope its not over yet since the Kings being chopped one by one. I am not even sure if we have complete 13 men by the end of this series.
