Early Review: Bewitched by Darynda Jones

Posted on Sep 26, 2020 with No comments

Sep 26, 2020


A Paranormal Women's Fiction with a bit of class, and a lot of sass, for anyone who feels like age is just a number!

         Forty-something Defiance Dayne only recently discovered she comes from a long line of powerful witches. Added to that shocker was the teensy, infinitesimal fact that she is what’s called a charmling. One of three on the entire planet. And there are other witches who will stop at nothing to steal her immense power, which would basically involve her unfortunate and untimely death. 

No one told her life after forty would mean having to learn new life skills—such as how to survive a witch hunter dead set on killing her—or that the sexiest man alive would be living in her basement. 

Whoever said life begins at forty was clearly a master of the underappreciated and oft maligned understatement.


5 STARS

 

Bewitched is all kinds of magical! Deph and Annette are hilarious as they discover the unknown in their new home and around town. Defiance's world turns upside down when she begins to unravel the dangers lying in wait for her. She begins to channel her new powers she thought she had lost due to the extreme power of her magic in book one. Annette has decided she is going to make her life in Salem and help her best friend by starting a business together. Gigi is on pins and needles as Defiances's magic emerges. There has never been a changling with the powers Deph is manifesting. The entire family has joined forces to protect Defiance, allowing her the space she needs to understand her full powers. The sexiest man alive, Roan, has his work cut out for him as he follows Deph to ensure her safety. There are plenty of steamy moments, waiting to be read. Bewitched left me yearning for more of the story to come in Beguilded.

They’ll give their queen everything,
all she has to do is ask.



Their Shadow Queen Series

Tempted By Their Queen (bk 1)
and 
All The Queen’s Men (bk 2)

Blurb:

My entire life has been a lie.

I thought I was a normal girl, a typical college student. Until Finn and Jensen, two of the most handsome men I've ever met change my entire world.

Literally.

On my twenty-first birthday, a single kiss from Finn transports the three of us to the Shadow Court. A realm of the fae. Because I'm not human. Not even a little. Turns out, I'm a faerie. The Shadow Court's long-lost queen, to be exact, and I have to take my crown.

It should be easy, but there are rules and customs I need to follow, powers I have to unlock, and a prince I'm supposed to marry.

Unfortunately, there are also plenty of creatures who don't want me to succeed and will stop at nothing to see me dead.

With my guards, Finn and Jensen at my side, I'm ready for anything. Except for my growing attraction to the men I surround myself with. They say they're tempted by me, but I want them just as much, and I don't think I can resist.

Excerpt



CHAPTER 1

~Holden~

 

Third and fifteen. That holding penalty had royally screwed us, but we had this. This was it. One more play would determine whether we moved on to the divisional playoffs or went home. It would solidify if I would realize my dream of ending my career on a high note in the championship. There was no time for a huddle, and that was fine. We ran our hurry-up offense more than any other, and the guys knew my cadence and were familiar with my calls.

Sweat dripped down my back, the adrenaline pumping through my veins. I approached the line, saw my guys in their stances, rock-steady, and ready to protect me. We were going with the ten personnel package: four receivers—spread wide—one running back, and no tight ends. Unfortunately, we’d lose their epic blocking, yet, hopefully, it’d throw off the defense and confuse them about who should be double covered. Especially since my hope was to have Jameson, my running back, run a draw when I dropped back into shotgun.

I crowded the center, started the call. Motioning for my slot receiver to shift, I glanced at Jameson to move back a step, and then took up my position in the pistol formation.

“Blue, forty-two! Blue, forty-two!” I checked the defense to make sure nobody had shifted or was eyeing where we hoped to go with this. I saw that my skill players were right where they needed to be, my offensive lineman loose, yet coiled with anticipation. My heart raced with both excitement and exertion. We had this. It was ours for the taking. After nearly twenty years in the league, I could be headed to the big dance once more.

I clapped twice to signal the snap, called “Hut,” and caught the ball as it came sailing toward me. I shifted and gripped it, laces kissing my knuckles. I did my two-step drop and looked at my wideouts, knowing I wouldn’t be going there. As expected, coverage was great, and the rush was coming, way too many three-hundred-plus-pound bruisers wanting a piece of me. I had a second—my line was holding their own—and I saw Jameson juke his cover guy and come my way.

Excellent.

Faking the pass, I pitched to Jameson just as a linebacker broke free of his cover man and barreled my way. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jameson execute a perfect spin move and head down the sideline, just as number fifty nailed me with the full weight of his massive form and the power of a locomotive.

I went down hard, the air whooshing out of my lungs as I absorbed the full force of the behemoth on top of me.

And then…

The snap, or pop—maybe both. I couldn’t even tell where it came from exactly, but the entire right side of my body felt like a ball of agony.

The excruciating pain brought bile to my throat and spots to my eyes.

Before I had a chance to fully register what had happened, Quiddich got off me with an extra shove, making me want to vomit, and I heard the roar of the crowd.

Apparently, we’d scored. It was a game-changer for the team, a season-changer, and I tried to feel the euphoria. Unfortunately, I had a sinking suspicion that my football life as I knew it was over. This play was literally life-changing for me.

And that was the last thing I thought before everything went black.

Early Review: All Scot and Bothered (Devil You Know #2) by Kerrigan Byrne

Posted on Sep 11, 2020 with No comments

Sep 11, 2020


They are a dangerous duke, a fierce lord, and an infamous earl—dark, bold, brave men who know exactly what they want. And there is only one woman who can bring them to their knees...

He is first and foremost—at everything. A man who's made his own way in the world through ruthless cunning and sheer force of will. A strong and imposing Scot who can turn on the charm but does not suffer fools. His title: Lord Chief Justice of the High Court. His name: Cassius Gerard Ramsay. His mission: To investigate the goings-on at London's most notorious gaming hell, owned and operated by one of the most intriguing and desirable women he's ever met.

IN THIS GAME OF LOVE, THE RULES DO NOT APPLY

Cecelia Teague was an orphan facing a rather dire future—until a secret benefactor from her mother's scandalous past swept into her life. Sent to prestigious boarding school and later to university, Cecelia believed high society was at her fingertips...Then, from out of nowhere, she became the inheritor of a gambling establishment. Now Cecelia must live two lives: one as a proper lady who finds herself undeniably drawn to Lord Ramsay and the other as a savvy gaming hell owner trying to save her business from the very same man. He has no idea she is both women...and Cecelia would like to keep it that way. But what happens when consuming passion and escalating danger threaten to reveal the truth?
