Blurb:
Lydia Montgomery is a Tramp.
After fleeing a tragic past, Lydia’s determined never to go back to the life she left behind at any price. She lands in Grand Haven, California—a city booming with billion-dollar corporations and tech money—and everything changes.
Armed with the only lesson she learned from her mother, Lydia builds a life of routine, solitude, and success.
Nothing is out of reach when you’re beautiful.
Nearly a decade after her arrival, Lydia’s the highest paid escort in the city, and only the most influential people in Grand Haven can get near her. She’s a goddess among her clients, and out of reach to everyone else. Lydia’s created the perfect illusion, and no one will take it from her again.
Until a misunderstanding lands her in the office of the city’s most eligible bachelor.
Talent Ridge is Grand Haven royalty. Despite running in the same circles as Lydia’s clients, he’s scandal-free and on his way to being the most powerful man in the area.
Their chemistry is undeniable, but a relationship has the potential to destroy everything they’ve worked for. Especially when Lydia is running from her past, and Talent is running toward a future she can never be a part of.
Beauty and money can’t save them this time.
Are Lydia and Talent willing to give it all up for each other, or will their differences cost too much?

Tramp is the start of Mary’s next series and she does not hold back. This book was more than I anticipated and that made me love it even more

Lydia is a high-end escort; a tramp in Grand Haven. But she’s got her one set of rules and she refuses to budge from her routine.

Talent is one of Grand Haven’s most eligible bachelors and one of many prominent men.

Lydia is sent to entertain Talent, something that is outside her usual schedule. However, what makes things even more interesting is that Talent was unaware of who Lydia is. And that sends both on a path neither could have predicted.

I won’t go into many details about his book because that is what made this book come to life. Even the smallest details, gave this story another layer and more depth to the characters.

Getting to know Lydia and her past, sheds a lot of light on where she is now and why she operates the way she does. She is very cold and closed off. However, as the reader, you find yourself understanding why.

Talent had no problems holding back on how he felt towards Lydia. However, he himself has his own secrets. He’s not as pure as everyone thinks.

The passion and intense connection between Lydia and Talent set these pages on fire, even if it was just a look or a touch. I could not get enough of them.

I am quite intrigued on how things will continue in the next book. I enjoyed the added suspense that Mary weaved into this story. She delivered just right amount of puzzle pieces to keep things enticing and readers right at the edge.

Tramp is an intriguing read that flows at a beautiful pace with characters you will enjoy. I am so ready for the next book.

Review….Noble Prince by Devney Perry

Noble Prince by Devney Perry is now live!

The night Luke Rosen met Scarlett Marks was the only time he’s regretted becoming chief of police. One horrific night of blood and death, and now she’s living under his roof–all because he swore an oath to serve and protect.
Scarlett is stubborn and infuriating. She has no respect for the order in his structured life, and she never does anything she’s told. Worse, she doesn’t seem to care that the information she has on a motorcycle gang means she might end up dead. But her unwavering strength, her courage and tenacity and beauty, makes it impossible for him to abandon her.
If Luke is going to keep her safe, he’ll have to make the hardest decision of his life. He can either honor his values as a cop, knowing Scarlett is unlikely to survive . . . or he can break all the rules and protect the woman who’s invaded his home and his heart.

Excerpt

“If you’re not going to get out of the way, I’ll just go around.” I spun on my shoes, whirling the opposite direction, but when I went to take a step and carry my basket away, I suddenly found its weight missing from my arm. He’d stolen it from me before I’d had the chance to clutch it tight.

Then the world was spinning. The floors, the ceiling, everything flipped topsy-turvy.

I’d fainted.

No, that wasn’t right.

I was being carried. Hauled. That had been Luke’s threat and damn it, I’d underestimated him. The chief had made good on his word.

His shoulder dug into my belly as he walked. I lifted my face, pushing the hair out of my eyes. My basket of food sat exactly where I’d been standing. My chicken and rolls and cookies and chocolate milk. The items grew smaller with every one of Luke’s strides.

“Put me down.”

He kept walking.

“Put me down!” I shouted.

Still, he kept walking.

I lifted a hand and raised it above my head. My hair kept falling in front of my face, obscuring my vision, but that didn’t stop me from using every ounce of strength I had left. I brought my fist down on Luke’s lower back. Except my aim was shit so I didn’t hit his back. No, my fist bounced off his firm, perfect ass.

Luke didn’t so much as break his stride. “I promised Presley I’d keep you safe.”

And without another word, without stopping, he carried me in a fireman’s hold out of the grocery store and into the snow.

I was going back to the daisies, whether I wanted to or not.

Hello, Scarlett. I’m rock bottom.

Noble Prince is the fourth book in the Tin Gypsy series by Devney Perry. This book picks up exactly where Stone Princess ended and yes, it can be read as a standalone, but I would highly discourage that. There is underlying storyline that runs through each book and it’s also how it ties every single character together which just makes the books all the more gripping and enthralling.

Noble Prince is Luke and Scarlett’s story. Luke is the Chief of Police and Scarlett is the twin sister of Presley. If you read Stone Princess, then you’ll know Luke took Scarlett from Presley’s house and has been keeping her under his protection til he feels it is safe for her to be out on her own. However, no-one knows that Scarlett is under Luke’s protection. Everyone thinks he sent her on way and is keeping an eye out for her in other ways.

Noble Prince is much a slower paced story than the previous books. But it has to be. Scarlett has a danger past and is afraid to trust anyone. Luke has to keep looking over his shoulder and be more vigilant than ever before to keep Scarlett safe and hidden.

I love how this story unfolds and plays out between Luke and Scarlett. They are both attracted to one another but are cautious around one another for their own reasons. Watching not only the chemistry build between them, but the trust and companionships just made it all the more real and authentic. Scarlett really came into her own in this book and seeing Luke become stronger not only in who he is, but his job, added another layer to these characters

Devney does a phenomenal job of blending the romance with the suspense in this story. Neither overshadowed the other, but played key parts throughout the story. Each part of the story blended and flowed perfectly into one another, making the story seamless and fly by quicker than I anticipated. It may be a slow-burn story but it is a quick read because of well it is written.

I cannot wait for the next book, Fallen Jester. Devney has set this one up perfectly!

Blog Tour….Spells by Kristen Proby

Spells by Kristen Proby is now live!

From New York Times Bestselling Author, Kristen Proby, comes Spells, the next installment in her gripping Bayou Magic series…

As a powerful hedgewitch and psychic, there isn’t much I can’t work to my advantage and finesse with a spell. Love, fortune, and even the perfect cup of coffee are all possible with the snap of my fingers.

But some things are utterly beyond my control.

Like the powerful and broody warlock who’s been a part of my life for as long as I can remember–and even the lifetimes I often can’t. Things almost as dangerous as Lucien Bergeron’s hold on me and the breathtaking smiles only I get to see.

Or the evil still stalking the streets of New Orleans that beckons to me to see. To feel. To die.

With everything riding on a razors-edge, and things that have been portended coming to fruition, threatening both me and those I love, I’m not sure if I’m strong enough to resist my fate. Or his charm.

If I work with Lucien, it could mean the end for both of us.

If I don’t, those I love most will pay.

An enemies-to-lovers new adult romance from USA Today bestseller Siobhan Davis.

Kent

Rogue. Troublemaker. Bad Boy. Delinquent.

And that’s how I prefer it.

Keeping my demons under lock and key is my only survival tactic.

Until she enters my life, turning it upside down.

She thinks she can fix me. That I can reform myself and redeem my sins.

But I’m beyond the point of saving.

And if she doesn’t let go, I’ll only drag her down this dark hole with me.

WOW. This book was so much more emotional than I anticipated. I am truly at a loss for words on this one. I am going to have a book hangover after this.

Reforming Kent is the tenth and finally book in the Kennedy Boys series. It may be a standalone, but I HIGHLY, HIGHLY urge readers to read these books in order.

I honestly have no idea what to say. Siobhan ripped me open with Kent’s story and my heart is flayed. The emotions she rocked me with are powerful and have left me breathless. To say I am emotionally wrecked is an understatement, but it’s a good thing.

Reforming Kent is a story of first loves and reveling in those feelings. It’s also confronting pain, hurt and anger from a past that was buried so deep that any attempt to move past it, brings those demons alive making the past become the present.

“Never forget that no one can save you if you don’t save yourself first.”

One thing I have loved and will always love is Siobhan’s ability to never sugarcoat or hold back on anything in her stories. What her characters endure are unfortunate realties and it makes these stories all that more raw and deep. I will say this – if you have a hard time dealing with abuse and rape, read this book with extreme caution. It will bring those horrors to life – trust me on this. But I will never fault Siobhan for making me feel so much; for many of us it is sometimes cathartic when we empathize with these characters.

I loved seeing Kent grow in so many ways in this book. He kept himself closed off to everyone and lost himself in booze, sex and drugs. Presley was a light he never expected and her aloofness and strength challenged him. Presley wasn’t about to be another notch on his bed post and Kent never gives up when he wants something. As these two move along in their friendship/relationship, they learn more about each other and it’s this connection that makes them inseparable. Presley is the perfect woman for Kent – she handles and understands him in ways even his family doesn’t. But their journey is not an easy one – it’s not one for the faint of hearts either.

Siobhan’s writing is flawless. She knows how to grip her readers at the right moment and keeps you engaged in the story the entire time. Her characters are authentic, real and unforgettable. This book, this whole series, is one I will never foret.

Siobhan – you won me over with your first book about Kyler and made me an insta-fan. With Kent, you’ve only strengthened my love for your writing, your characters and their stories. I am sad this series has to come and end, but I am forever grateful that you gave us the Kennedy Brothers. They are forever etched in my soul and this series will always be in my favorites.

Release Day Blitz & Review….The Bribe by Willa Nash

The Bribe by Willa Nash is now live!

Duke Evans didn’t expect to interrupt a beautiful woman in a staring contest with a bison on his favorite hiking trail. He also didn’t expect to see her again after rescuing her from the surly beast. As the sheriff in Calamity, Montana, he’s had his fair share of surprises but none as pleasant as pulling over a shiny black car and finding his mysterious hiking companion behind the wheel.
Only, she lied to Duke. She gave him a name as fake as her hair color. According to her driver’s license, her real name is Lucy Ross, the famous country music singer whose sudden disappearance has been a hot topic in the media over the past two weeks.
He’s not sure why Lucy lied about her identity or why she’s in Calamity. And she’s not talking. Instead, she offers him a bribe to keep her secret.
But Duke doesn’t want her money. He wants to know why this woman is on the run. And as long as the star shines on his badge, he’s going to find out.

The Bribe is a debut novel for Willa Nash, but it’s pen name for Devney Perry so we already knew we were in for an amazing story.

The Bribe is the perfect start to this small-town romance series. We meet Duke and Lucy and a slew of other outstanding characters in this book and they will all win you over. Duke and Lucy’s first meeting was quite unusual and truly quite entertaining. They never thought they’d see one another again and just let it be.

When Lucy makes Calamity her new home – she gets more than she expected – Duke, who’s the sheriff of the town. Even from their first unexpected meeting, you could feel the chemistry between these two coming off the pages. But what I loved even more, was Duke’s determination to find out more about Lucy and what brought her to Calamity.

I won’t say much as the blurb does the perfect job of setting you up. Just know that Nilla delivers an exceptional small-town romance wth characters you will love. I cannot wait to meet more of this town’s folks and see what happens next. And Nilla has set us up for the next book perfectly!

Release Day Blitz & Review…Adoring Keaton by Siobhan Davis

Release Date: September 20

A friends-to-lovers new adult MM romance from USA Today bestseller Siobhan Davis. Stand-alone with HEA and no cliffhanger.

Keaton

Moving to California was supposed to be my fresh start. A clean slate. An opportunity to drop the façade, escape the lies, find a focus, and just be myself.

But I should have realized it wouldn’t be easy, especially when my last name is Kennedy.

I’m not ready to be a gay icon or some celebrity role model. I still haven’t admitted the truth to my family or the girl I professed to love, so there’s no way I want the public to know I’m into dudes.

Falling for my hot, straight, football-player roomie wasn’t part of the game plan.

Neither was backing myself into a corner because I trusted the wrong guy.

Now everything is on the line, and it’s time to stop pretending.

Austen

From the time I was a little kid, all I wanted is to play football in college and play in the NFL. As wide receiver for the Golden Bears, I am on track to achieve my goals, but it comes at a heavy price.

Denying who I am—for the sake of my career—goes against everything I believe.

I should never have listened to my high school coach, because all the lies are suffocating me.

Until Keaton Kennedy enters my life, turning it upside down.

Now, there is even more reason to tell the truth, because I’m falling for the famous one and I want the entire world to know.

It’s been a hot minute since I read any books in the Kennedy Boy series. You do not need to read any of the other books to read this one. However, there are spoilers in this book of what has happened in previous books. So if you don’t want anything to be ruined, then I would highly suggest reading them all in order (don’t worry – it’s truly worth it).

I was pleasantly surprised with Adoring Keaton. This is Siobhan’s first MM romance (I have read others before so this wasn’t a deterrent for me). What I found surprising was the difference in the suspense was with this one was but I still thoroughly enjoyed it just as much. A lot of the other Kennedy stories have a action suspense to them, whereas this one had an emotional suspense. But I was still just as engaged in this one because of the deep attraction and the chemistry between Keaton and Austen. It was off the charts HAWT!

Siobhan Davis really writes some compelling and real characters. Keaton and Austen are true testaments to that. I love who they both are individually and together. Keaton has always hidden who he was because of the lime light on his family and he always put others and their needs before himself. Austen has owned he is since high school, but has also kept a low profile because of recommendations he followed from someone he respected.

This story was written through both Keaton and Austen’s POV, which really added in being able to understand both characters better and get a deeper connection to them. This story starts off with them being friends and slowly, over time things become more. There are a lot of unknowns that these two fight against but I love that it’s their support of each other and their love that helps them battle most of them. Siobhan did a great job of having these characters have real and raw fears and strong emotions surrounding their situation. She brings in real life outlook on things and that helps makes this story all the more authentic.

Adoring Keaton is another 5 star read for me. This story is extremely written and flows at a beautiful pace. Even if you don’t read MM romances, I highly urge anyone to read this one. You will be pleasantly surprised but how easily you fall in love with Keaton and Austen.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Loathe Thy Neighbor by Teagan Hunt

Release Date: September 17

Don’t fall for your enemy…especially when he’s your new roomate.

Dean Evans is the worst.
Not only does the devil in disguise steal my pie on a regular basis, he also lives in the apartment right. Next. Door.
I see him all the time. At the mailboxes. In the elevator.
Every single morning.
It’s exhausting because he’s exhausting.

Now, after setting his apartment on fire, he’s my roommate…and he’s the worst at that too.

I don’t know what possessed me to let him stay with me. Pity, perhaps?
I do know that I won’t be falling for his charm.
Or that panty-dropping smirk.
His quick wit.
That body he works so hard for.

Nope. Not falling for any of it…least of all him.

There might be a fine line between love and hate, but I know exactly where I stand.

BLURB:

I’ve fallen victim to a heinous act.

An act so vile, so downright dirty, that I’m not sure as a twenty-year-old man I’ll ever recover. Brace yourself, because what I’m about to tell you might have you gasping in secondhand horror.

Ready? Here it goes . . .

I’ve recently become the pawn of a meddling mom.

Yes . . . A MEDDLING MOM–who’s been trying to set me up all summer.

Now, I understand it’s not a crime for a mother to want her child to fall in love, but when she makes it her relentless MISSION, the heinous act should be classified as a misdemeanor at least.

Of course, my mom, the evil matriarch in the devil’s leggings, made her final stab at finding a girl for me days before I went back to college.

And I hate to admit it, but she saved a doozy for last.

A titan in black skinny jeans.

A boss of nonchalance.

And a girl who would not only turn my life upside down, but do it while juggling a soccer ball, looking effortlessly gorgeous around campus, and is one hundred percent against relationships. Of any sort.

Thanks, Mom.

PROLOGUE:

**LINCOLN**

I’ve fallen victim to a heinous act.

An act so vile, so downright dirty, that I’m not sure . . .

as a son,

as a member of society,

as a twenty-year-old man . . . I will ever recover.

Ever.

I see the concern in your eyes, your hand wandering up your chest to clutch the collar of your sensible cotton shirt, scared to find out the truth.

Brace yourself against something sturdy, because what I’m about to tell you might just knock you back on your ass in horror.

*Deep breaths, everyone*

I’ve recently become the pawn of a meddling mom.

Yup, you read that right. A MEDDLING mom.

The bane of a son’s existence.

I know what you’re wondering . . . what did she do? Make me pick up my socks during summer break?

*Eye-rolling*

*Woe is you*

*Grow up*

You grow up!

Ehhh, that was a little harsh. But before you go and put your judgy face on, you need to know the difference between a nagging mom and a meddling mom.

A nagging mom is one who storms into the living room while you’re trying to watch the series finale of Game of Thrones, complaining about the dishes in the sink you swore you’d take care of once you found out who took the throne.

Nag, nag, nag—part of the daily routine of the person who birthed you, or in this case, one of two moms who adopted me.

But a meddling mom, oh boy. They’re a fresh kind of hell wrapped up in high-waisted leggings and muted tunics. This isn’t some everyday mom who texts you GIFs of squirrels playing with a hula hoop. Nope, meddling moms have an agenda.

An agenda that they believe benefits their children. But it really benefits them . . . and only them.

In this case, my mom’s agenda: get Lincoln to fall in love.

I understand it’s not a crime for a mother to want her child to fall in love, but let me tell you. When she makes it her mission when you’re home from college, it should be classified as a misdemeanor.

That’s right, all freaking summer, my mom has made it her duty to set me up with girl after girl, all of whom she’s met in our hometown Kalamazoo, Michigan. I’d like to say I’m exaggerating that she made a list and set me up with every eligible girl—one by one—but I’m not.

I saw the Excel spreadsheet on her computer.

Girls who were highlighted in red were a no-go.

Girls in green still had a fighting chance.

Girls in yellow? Apparently, I had lukewarm interaction with them, but they showed promise.

Why is she so desperate for me to fall head over heels?

Can you believe she’s been spending time on the Internet, researching relationship statuses of major league baseball players? Well, she has. Too much time. And she said she didn’t want me to end up forty, about to retire, with nothing to say for my life other than that I was able to throw a ball off a mound.

She also wants a girl to fawn over.

When my mothers were adopting, Mom hoped for a girl, but Mama hoped for a boy. Don’t get me wrong, my mom loves me more than anything—hence the meddling and nagging—but she always wanted to do girly things with me, like have tea parties, get our toenails done, shit like that.

Side note: I’ve done the pedicure thing with her, and it’s not that bad.

But she wants a daughter, and apparently, a daughter-in-law is the next best thing.

Which brings me back to my summer of “not love.” I wanted nothing to do with these girls and after my mom’s eighth attempt to set me up—yes, eight—I told her enough was enough. I was done.

And thankfully she listened . . . until the last Saturday before I left for school.

The evil matriarch in the devil’s leggings made her final stab at finding a girl for me.

And I hate to admit it, but she saved a doozy for last.

A fucking titan in black skinny jeans.

A boss of nonchalance.

And a girl who will not only turn my life upside down, but do it while juggling a soccer ball, looking effortlessly gorgeous, and is one hundred percent against relationships. Of any sort.

Thanks, Mom.

*Thumbs up*

Your meddling has made me absolutely miserable.

Meghan Quinn writes another homerun with The Setup (pun intended).

I loved this story and the characters so much. I loved watching Indie and Lincoln go through their trials and tribulations of college then onto furthering their sports careers.

Indie and Lincoln are some of the most levelheaded yet, at times quite frustrating characters I’ve read in a while. Lol But that’s what made me love them; they have so many authentic and genuine character attributes, it’s impossible to not love them.

Meghan does a great job of blending the second characters into this story without any of those scenes or characters overtaking the story line. It just brings more depth to the story and allows you to see the characters in other aspects.

The Setup flows perfectly and Meghan allows things to happen naturally. The timeline in this book works so well and Meghan writes it beautifully. She blends the humor, sports and romance aspects of this book perfectly. Oh and the moms, love them so much. ❤

Meghan delivers another flawless story with characters that readers are going to fall in love with.

Release Day Blitz & Review…El Diablo II by M. Robinson

Release Date: September 8

The sins of the father became those of the son.

Wrath for taking what was precious to me.

Greed for the lives that were mine to kill.

Sloth for the destruction against their will.

Lust for revenge and the blood I’d spill.

Gluttony for the souls I craved.

Envy for the spirits I had yet to take.

Pride for the birthright I’d soon fulfill.

One look.

One moment.

One girl.

She was all it took for me to lose my focus.

Sienna Luciano, my eighth deadly sin.

It was the end of me, but not my legacy.

It was only the beginning of…

El Diablo’s resurrection.

Allow me to introduce myself.

I’m Crucifixio Martinez.

Ummmmmm, yea – this was far from what I anticipated.

El Diablo II is to be a complete stand-alone (but I am not sure that new readers will see that). The premise for this book held so much promise. Did I like it? Yes. However, I felt what was given to us was not what I had expected. I felt that a lot was overlooked, parts were far too overly dramatic and the book wasn’t focused on Cruz and Sienna but other previous characters.

El Diablo II felt more like continuation to Alejandro’s story with an intro to what we can expect next in a spinoff series featuring his kids and what is come in with the five families coming together. I felt that Cruz and Sienna’s story was very overlooked. I personally do not feel that what we got, was Robinson at her best.

I have read almost all of Robinson’s books and I always know that I going to get a story with a deep and expanding plot and characters who are more than one dimensional. I did not get any of that with this book. I felt nothing between Cruz and Sienna til near the end and that felt too rushed for me. They spend no time together and then all of sudden near the end, they’re ready to rip each other’s clothes off. Ehhhh…no.

Cruz doesn’t come across as anything other than a pissed off boy (yes, boy) with the need for revenge. He does not see anywhere the dark and twisted person that Robinson tries to portray. He’s all talk and no bite.

Sienna came across as this bitch most of the book and only softened near the end when her life was at risk (yea, not sold on that turn around). And maybe that’s how all mafia princesses are but it made me not care for her.

The book dragged a lot; there was nothing exciting til about the last 15-20% of the book. The majority of Sienna and Cruz’s interactions were arguing and that got redundant quickly. I felt nothing between them but anger and animosity. This book was open to too many assumptions and things happened that had me scratching my head.

I am usually excited for other character’s books but this time, I am only excited for one – Cruz’s sister, Ari and Christiano and what happened to her during captivity (I truly hope when her books comes out, that part is not overlooked or hurried at all).

Overall – it just ok for me. The ending is what I remember most about this book and that’s because that was the most exciting parts. I remember more about Alejandro and Lexi – but I cannot remember much about Cruz and Sienna, except they argue a lot and he wants to get this sister back. That’s not what I was wanting to get from this book. People who have not read El Diablo, will have a lot of questions on things because he is in this book way too much for it to be a standalone.

Review…A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire by Jennifer L. Armentrout

“A perfectly woven tale rife with secrets, lies and seduction. Plenty of action with a perfect dose of snark. High Fantasy done the JLA way!” -Lily Alexander, author

A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire, the enthralling and epic second book in A Blood and Ash Series by New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout, is available now.

Is Love Stronger Than Vengeance?

A Betrayal…

 Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him. The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him, and that’s one order she’s more than happy to obey. He may have taken her, but he will never have her.

A Choice….

Casteel Da’Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows better than to trust him. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. But he’s the only way for her to get what she wants—to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all she’s ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself—about him. Plans that could bind their lives together in unexpected ways that neither kingdom is prepared for. And she’s far too reckless, too hungry, to resist the temptation.

A Secret…

But unrest has grown in Atlantia as they await the return of their Prince. Whispers of war have become stronger, and Poppy is at the very heart of it all. The King wants to use her to send a message. The Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen, the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to keep the truth hidden. But when the earth begins to shake, and the skies start to bleed, it may already be too late.

Excerpt

“We go home to marry, my Princess.”
As in get married?
To him?
Suddenly, I thought of all those girlish fantasies I’d had before I learned who I was and what was expected of me—daydreams given life because of the love my parents had for one another.
Never once did those little-girl dreams include a proposal that wasn’t remotely an actual proposal. Nor did they incorporate it being announced at a table full of strangers, half of which wanted me dead. And those dreams surely hadn’t involved what had to be the kingdom’s worst—and possibly most insane—non-proposal of marriage to a man currently holding me captive.
Perhaps I had some sort of ailment of the brain. Maybe I was experiencing hallucinations brought on by stress. After all, there had been so much painful death to process. His betrayal to deal with. And I’d just learned I was descended from Atlantia, a kingdom I’d been raised to believe was the source of all the evil and tragedy in the land. Stress-induced hallucinations seemed a far more believable reason than what was actually happening.
All I could do was stare at the larger hand holding my much smaller one. His skin was slightly darker than mine as if kissed by the sun. Years of wielding a sword with deadly, graceful precision had left his palms callused.
He lifted my hand to an indecently well-formed and full mouth. To lips that were somehow soft yet unrelentingly firm. Lips that had spun beautiful words into the air and whispered heated, wicked promises against my bare skin. Lips that had paid homage to the many scars that riddled my body and face.
Lips that had also spoken blood-soaked lies.
Now, that mouth was pressed against the top of my hand in a gesture that I would’ve cherished for an eternity and thought exquisitely tender just days or weeks ago. Simple things like hand-holding or chaste kisses had been forbidden to me. As were being wanted or feeling desire. I had long since accepted that I would never experience those things.
Until him.
I lifted my gaze from our joined hands, from that mouth that was already curving up on one side, hinting at a dimple in the right cheek, and from the slowly parting lips that revealed just a hint of fatally sharp fangs.
His hair brushed the nape of his neck and toppled over his forehead, and the thick strands were such a deep shade of black, it often shone blue in the sunlight. With high and angular cheekbones, a straight nose, and a proud, carved jaw, he often reminded me of the large, graceful cave cat I had seen once in Queen Ileana’s palace as a child. Beautiful, but in the way all wild, dangerous predators were. My heart stammered as my eyes locked onto his, orbs a shade of stunning, cool amber.
I knew I was staring at Hawke—

A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire is the second book in Armentrout’s Blood and Ash series. It starts off exactly where From Blood and Ash ended and if I dare say, is even more intriguing than the first one.

AKoFaF has even more character development and world building to keep in stride with the high fantasy genre. However, it’s needed to keep the plot moving along. Armentrout does a really phenomenal job of having the deep world building and time frame blend into the story line and add to it, instead of just coming across as filler. The depth is needed in order to understand the entire plot and what is to happen.

Poppy and Cas/Hawke are now thrown into a whole new scenario with them each having their own agenda but they somehow intertwine with the other. There is also this building chemistry between them that is going to blow up at any given moment. There is a lot of suspense not only in the plot, but in the underlying pull between Poppy and Cas. The angst is unreal in this book. It’s amazing to see Poppy learn more about herself and her abilities. We also get to delve deeper into Cas and who he is.

Along with Poppy and Cas, Armentrout has written some amazing secondary characters that add another layer to the story and brings some amusing moments to the story. Cas and Kiern have this bromance that is quite entertaining yet so endearing. It shows another side to who Cas is and has readers loving him even more.

While there is still a lot of world building in this book, readers will see a lot more action in this book. The pace is a lot smoother and things move a much faster pace. I think a lot of that is because there’s better balance in this book between the world building, the action scenes and the interactions between characters.

Armentrout always knows how to pull her readers in, keep them vested not only in the story but the characters and leaves them waiting with bated breath. We do get answers in this book, but we find ourselves having some many more new ones. I for one, cannot wait to see what the next brings us and how this all comes together.

Bravo Jennifer. You have written another top rated book to add your never-ending pile of top sellers.
