RUINED KINGDOM (RUINED KINGDOM, #1) by Natasha Knight: NEW RELEASE & ARC REVIEW

Title: Ruined Kingdom

Series: Ruined Kingdom Duet #1

Author: Natasha Knight

Genre: Dark Mafia/MFM Romance

Release Date: November 1, 2022

BLURB

Death. Loyalty. Lies.

I never imagined my first trip to Italy would be to bury my father.

But there I stood, in a beautiful cathedral, alone with my grief and my father’s casket, a handful of soldiers standing guard.

It never occurred to me that anyone, even our enemies, would disrupt the sanctity of the moment.

But the Caballero brothers have little regard for the church and even less for my family. They marched in weapons in hand and turned my world upside down.

They shattered what peace I had.

They desecrated my father’s body.

And they took what they wanted. What they felt they were owed. Me.

I’m a princess in a tower in a breathtaking villa.

My bedroom overlooks the turquoise sea, but the door is locked.

And if I ever hope to be free, I have to contend with not one but two dragons.

Ruined Kingdom by Natasha Knight
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

"When you have nothing to lose, you are willing to risk everything.”

With Ruined Kingdom, Natasha Knight immersed me into a tale of delicious and dirty revenge. Forced marriage, dubious consent, mean power games, are the author's signature genres, and once more she handled them with brio, creating a fast paced story that I devored in no time. Will Amadeo and Bastian's quest of revenge make of Vittoria the perfect collateral victim, but ai can't wait to dive into the second installment (and conclusion) of the duet, Broken Queen, to find out how the dynamic of the trio will evolve. I'm ready for more jealousy, hate, betrayal and mistrust!

Brutal Intentions by Lilith Vicent: New Release & Review

Brutal Intentions by Lilith Vincent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lilith Vincent did it again with her latest release, Brutal Intentions! Let's be honest it totally fell in love with this amazing cover, it is perfectly Laz.

The author playing with many taboo and forbidden tropes, and I loved it. She crossed many lines, cheating, stepfather/stepdaughter romance, dun-con, age gap, and more I won't list now as I don't want to spoil the storyline.


"I never knew that doing the worst thing in the world could taste so much like heaven."


Being the black sheep of their respective families, Mia and Laz have more in common that what it seems at first. I was thrilled to see him show the protector in him that seemed to develop when Mia was in trouble. The young and self-deprecating woman also showed a strength that made of her a touching heroine.

Up ans down we go, switching from cold to scorching hot and vice versa. These two are definitely engaging in a dangerous game.

"I’m done being a good girl for the Bianchis. From now on, I’m going to be a bad girl for Laz Rosetti."

Will Laz know and respect his and most importantly Mia's limits? Where does the caring personality end and the sick plans starts?

Not really dark, Brutal Intentions flirts with the dark lines. Drama filled, it will make you want to scream and lash out. And I hope you'll enjoy doing so as much as I did!

Title: Brutal Intentions

Author: Lilith Vincent

Genre: Enemies to Lovers Forbidden Romance

Release Date: September 28, 2022

BLURB

He’s devious. Corrupted. And his brutal heart wants me.

Lazzaro Rosetti just locked eyes with fresh prey: the virginal, high-school girl from a rival family. Me, Mia Bianchi.

He’s screwed his way through half the city’s female population and he’s running wild—until his family finds a way to curb his behavior by forcing him to wed.

When he speaks his vows at the altar, he’s holding Mom’s hands, but his menacing green eyes are staring right at me.

From the moment he crosses our threshold, Lazzaro makes my life hell. I’m Mom’s unprotected and despised youngest daughter and Lazzaro inhales my vulnerability like it’s the finest perfume.

Someone’s going to pay dearly for his bachelor wings being clipped, and I’m his perfect victim.

Author’s note: Brutal Intentions is a standalone MF romance with forbidden themes, breeding, an age gap, a possessive alphahole and a virgin. Laz is married, and not to the heroine. All characters are over eighteen. The story is dirty and delicious, so please read at your discretion.

BLACK SKIES RIVIERA by Catherine Wiltcher: Review

Black Skies Riviera by Catherine Wiltcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Catherine Witcher is a new author to me, and she definitely piqued and held my attention with Black Skies Riviera.
Her excellent writing style made the difference, and coupled with an utterly thrilling storyline, I couldn't put this story down. Sexy, intense, dangerous, a badass heroine and a panty melting hero, this book had everything I was looking for, and then more.
I also applause the author's knowledge (of her researches) of Cannes and Monaco, where the story takes place. The atmosphere was exceptional, and I love picturing her characters and their crazy journey.
If you're in the mood for a great mafia, enemies-to-lovers, arranged marriage read, I highly recommend this one. Happy reading!

NO ROMEO by L.P. Lovell & Stevie J. Cole: ARC Review

No Romeo by Stevie J. Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

With this third book in L.P. Lovell and Stevie J. Cole's Dayton series, I found myself re-immersed into the lives of these wonderful scarred souls, Hendrix, Lola and their tribe, and I loved every minute of their raw and intense journey.
The touching and broken atmosphere of the town, the competition and hate between the rich and the poor areas utterly get to me, in this book, like in the others. The fight and ingenuity of these kids had me hopeful all along. I couldn't help but root for them. The authors made it so easy to relate to their characters.
I smiled, and laughed out loud at their antics. Their fun banter enticed me. Their heartbreak was palpable.
"We’d formed a bond out of desperation and survival, one that taught us love, when we had no clue what that word meant, and there was no erasing that. No taking it down or cutting it off…"
Enemies to lovers, Lola and Hendrix are the incarnation of strength and resilience. There's so much love in their story, amongst the drama and tragedy, that I actually can qualify this opus as a feel good read. Badass doesn't come.even close to Lola's personality, she is so much more than that! She never backs down but also knows to choose her battles.
No Romeo is cleverly built, I had a fantastic time lost within the pages. I highly recommend it.
PS; Although the last book of the trilogy, No Romeo can be read as a standalone, so don't hesitate to dive in!

Under A Northern Sky by L.l. Meyer; New Release & Review

Under a Northern Sky by L.L. Meyer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"The woman is infuriating. Absolutely infuriating."

L.l. Meyer's Under The Northern Sky immersed me into a fascinating barbarians' world that I didn't want to leave.
I absolutely loved the dangerous and violent atmosphere, the omnipresent cold trying to extinguish the sparks of Luka and Rina's tension. Cold and hot it gets, the snow and the hot springs mimicking Lika's mood.

"I’ll learn how to love my new husband no matter the cost."

As the relationship of the young Barbarian and the beautiful princess evolves, I was enthralled by the laws and culture of this people. And more than anything, I loved the way Rina's resilience and genuineness started resonating through the Mountain Lion realm.

“Do you know what is unwise, little raven?”
“How you think it’s okay to provoke me.”

The author's prose touched me, clever and positive when blood ran, and deceit ran even deeper.
This is hands down one of my favorite L.l. Meyer books.

Title: Under a Northern Sky

Series: The Barbarian Realms #1

Author: LL Meyer

Genre: Historical Fantasy Romance

Release Date: August 17, 2022

BLURB

A hopeful bride . . .

Rina has suffered much in her short life. Being bartered away to a barbarian realm without her consent is just a final injustice at the hands of her cousin, the king of D’heilar. But marrying a man sight unseen – even a barbarian – may not be the end of the world, but the beginning of a new one.

A reluctant groom . . .

Luka has finally put a sword through his father’s cruel heart, and by Northern law, the mantle of leadership is now his. No matter how unwelcome, he won’t shirk his duty . . . even if the people of his realm deserve better, even if it means having a foreign bride forced upon him.

An ill-fated union.

Before they ever meet, disaster strikes. Rina is falsely accused of an unpardonable crime and meets her betrothed as a prisoner. Despite it all, they’re still expected to marry. But with neither of them willing to forgive or forget, they’re enemies, not lovers.

Caught in a political tug of war beyond their control, Luka and Rina come to realize they may have been taken for fools and that not all loves begin in beauty. Some, it seems, are born of the dark.

JUDICIUM by Natalie Bennett: Review

Judicium by Natalie Bennett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“The enemy of my enemy is my greatest asset, Puppet.”

Welcome back to where everything started for

This third installment in the Devil's Playground series should be read at this time in the series, as reading it as an actual prequel wpuld spoil the rest the series. It felt a tad strange to go back in time, giant flashback that is that opus, though I loved reading more about them at this moment. One step behind to better understand the future, I guess.

Judicium answered many questions I had about the characters and their family but it also opened to door to more unanswered interrogations.

“Play with me?”

Gore, thrilling, action packed, this opus is a fast paced horror show I devored in no time.

Title: Judicium

Series: Devil's Playground

Author: Natalie Bennett

Genre: Dark New Adult Romance

Release Date: July 26, 2022

★★★★★ Amazon Review - “Dark Twisted and Much Needed”

★★★★★ Amazon Review - “Devil's Playground series is 🔥🔥🔥”

★★★★★ Amazon Review - “A Must Read!”

Tick tock…it’s time for judgment.

The blood we spilled came after the riddles.

Betrayal followed by those we trusted.

There are so many things we could have done differently, saving ourselves from future heartache.

Now, it’s too late to recast the die.

By everything tainted and maleficent, we’re forever bonded.

Every tragedy has an origin.

This is where ours begins.

With a penchant for (writing) villainous immoral men, and a tendency to deviate away from traditional happily ever afters, Natalie Bennett is an international bestselling author of twisted and unconventional love stories.

When she's not slaying words she's somewhere in the sunshine state, happily taking life one curve-ball at a time.
