CONTROL FREAK by Brianna Hale: Release Blitz & Arc Review

Control FreakControl Freak by Brianna Hale
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me be clear, we all need a Daddy Stian in our lives! 

In Control Freak, Brianna Hale delivers an intense, steamy and emotionally deep story. Stian and Lacey's passionate and unconventional relationship simply felt right. Stian is the perfect swoon-worthy/panty melting/ Daddy Dom. He was amazing, caring and protective of Lacey. He supported her in her darkest moments, listening, seeing her. 

“I’m rough with your body sometimes, but I’ll always be gentle with your soul. She bruises far more easily.”

Lacey's strength and fight, hope and despair touched me. I particularly loved the surrender she craves and the control she both exerts to the extreme on her body and relinquishes when she is with Stian. Her disease was remarkably approached, with a realism I appreciated.

“Hope’s something healthy people hold up like some sort of trophy. Well, congratulations [...] for having hope. I hope you’ll be very happy together.”


Steamy and raw, sweet and desperate, this read has everything to keep you captivated. Enjoy!

Title: Control Freak
Author: Brianna Hale
Genre: Steamy Contemporary Romance
Release Date: June 27, 2019
Cover Design: Maria @ Steamy Designs
Total control. I need it in every aspect of my life. Some would say that makes me an asshole. A freak. But as long as everything’s exactly how I want it I’m completely flexible. 
I’m kidding.
Okay, I’m not kidding.
Lacey needs someone in her life who’s bigger and scarier than her anxieties, and she wants that man to be me. Her boss. The Viking in a suit.
I hope she understands what she’s getting into. This daddy isn’t going to pat her on the head and tell her she’s a good girl for nothing. Especially not when she’s spinning out of control.
I show her the two silver objects on my palm. Nipple clamps. I apply each one, screwing them firmly into place and giving them a small tug so I know they're secure. I look up and wait a moment, giving her the chance to say orange or red if she needs to. Her expression is slightly pained, but she doesn’t speak. I’m not finished yet. I take out two small metal weights on thin silver chain, and I hook each one to the clamps. The tips of her nipples are an angry pink. ‘Do you want to say anything, Lacey?’ She shakes her head firmly, though her lower lip is caught between her teeth and her gaze is fastened on the other side of the room, as if she’s concentrating hard. ‘That’s wonderful,’ I murmur, tracing her nipples with the tip of a finger. ‘You just stay there.’ I go back to my desk and continue with my work. I don’t look at her, but I’m totally aware of her. She’s breathing more sharply than normally so it must hurt. Good. Her silent fortitude is like a drug for me. It’s brutish, liking sweet girls in pain, but it fucking makes my dick hard.
There’s nothing Brianna Hale likes more than a large, stern alpha male with a super-protective and caring streak, and when she’s not writing about them she can usually be found with a book, a cocktail, planning her next trip to a beautiful location or attending the theatre. She believes that pink and empowerment aren’t mutually exclusive, and everyday adventures are possible. Brianna lives in London.

MANIPULATE (Deliver Series #6) by Pam Godwin: Release Blitz & Review

Manipulate (Deliver Book 6)Manipulate by Pam Godwin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG!!! Manipulation has never felt so good!!! I know I already said that about the previous book, but this one is my new favorite of the series! 

That's simple, there are stories you never want to reach the end of, and Manipulate is one of them.


At turn dangerous, sensual, gruesome, raw and sweet, Ricky, Tula and Martin's story had my head spinning with the depth of their emotions. 

I felt for everyone of them, hurting with them, sharing their heartache and their losses. I fought their demons and smiled at their intimacy. 


Tula is such a resilient woman! Her metamorphosis  from the sweet English teacher she was into the confident, lethal and determined inmate was incredible. Between the intense damaged Martin and the charming and laid-back Ricky, she both stood her ground and submitted to their seduction. The author mastered the balance of this incredible trio. Their complicity, the longing and the frustration they dealt in their relationship is one I rarely felt. 


What a book...dark, gritty, the atmosphere completely kept me on the edge of my seat whereas the expiration time had me biting my nails. Until I couldn't hold back the tears...

MANIPULATE is now available!

MANIPULATE is book 6 in the DELIVER Series Dark Romance - Anti-heroes - Sex Trafficking - Cartel

Amazon | Other Retailers | Goodreads

Tula Gomez is in the most ruthless prison in Latin America.

She only drove to Mexico to help her sister. She did nothing wrong. But her quiet life changed in an instant.

To survive the violent, cartel-controlled prison where men blend with women, she pledges her loyalty to the notorious leader in exchange for the one thing she needs most. Protection.

When she agrees to seduce the suspicious new inmates, Martin Lockwood and Ricky Saldivar, she doesn’t expect to enjoy it. Sure, they’re gorgeous, irresistibly alpha, and insanely talented with their hands and mouths. But they’re the enemy. She can’t fall for them.

Torn between her cartel loyalties and two men who want her as deeply as they want each other, she questions who is manipulating whom. Her search for answers leads to a passionate ménage, a soul-crushing secret, and an impossible choice.


DELIVER SERIES

Each book is a different couple. No cliffhangers. Must be read in order.

DELIVER (#1) - FREE VANQUISH (#2) DISCLAIM (#3) DEVASTATE (#4) TAKE (#5) MANIPULATE (#6)


DELIVER, Book 1: FREE on all retailers

His name was Joshua Carter. Now it’s whatever she wants it to be. She is a Deliverer. She lures young men and delivers them to be sold. She delivers the strikes that enforce their obedience. She delivers the sexual training that determines their purchase price. As long as she delivers, the arrangement that protects her family will hold. Delivering is all she knows. The one thing she can’t deliver is a captive from slavery. Until him. And her stubborn slave thinks he can deliver her…from herself.

VANQUISH, Book 2

Her life is like a prison cell. A self-made, to-hell-with-the-free-world existence that locks from the inside. Stop judging. Her agoraphobia doesn’t define her. It simply keeps her safe. He belongs in a prison cell. The 6x8, make-me-your-bitch variety that locks from the outside. But he’s free. To hunt. To take. To break. And he just found a sexy new toy. Capturing her is the easy part. Her fucked-up mind, however, makes him question everything he does next. But he’s a determined bastard. If all goes his way, this will hurt like hell.

DISCLAIM, Book 3

Camila was seventeen when Van Quiso kidnapped her. Ten years after her escape, the shackles refuse to release her. Not while there are still slave traders preying on her city. She will stop at nothing to end them. Even if that means becoming a slave again. Returning to chains is her worst fear—and only option. They won’t know who she is or what she intends to do. She’s prepared for every complication. Except him. The one who decimated her sixteen-year-old heart. Matias is charming, gorgeous, and dangerously seductive. He’s also untrustworthy and enshrouded in secrets. After years of no contact, he finds her—on her knees, wrists bound, in the clutches of her enemy. Will he sabotage her mission by needlessly saving her? Or will he keep her in chains and never let her go?

DEVASTATE, Book 4

“What is the price you’re willing to pay?” “Money isn’t an issue.” “I’m not talking about money.” Tate is on the hunt to find his best friend’s sister. Eleven years ago, Lucia Dias was abducted. Presumed dead. He never met her, so why does he care? Some might call his efforts noble, but his motivation is more perverse, bordering on obsession. When he follows a chilling lead to Venezuela’s Kidnap Alley, what he finds is neither a corpse nor a captive. Amid poisonous lies and crippling depravity, the price of love is devastation. And he pays. With his body, his blood, and her life.

TAKE, Book 5

He’s a notorious crime lord, a kidnapper, and an artist. Scarification is his outlet, and he just captured a new canvas. Kate refuses to surrender beneath his blade or the cruelty in his beautiful eyes. But she’s drawn to the man inside the monster. A man who makes her ache with his touch. Who owns her with his kiss. A man who worships her as deeply as he hurts her. She can run, but there’s no escape from a bond carved in scars.

WHAT WE DO IN THE NIGHT by Stylo Fantome: Release Blitz

What We Do in the Night (Day to Night, #1)What We Do in the Night by Stylo Fantome
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What We Do In The Night is yet another facet of Stylo Fantôme's wide range of writing genres. In her latest book, she offers an enticing and sensual story.


Val and Ari both are both looking for reprieves of their stressful lives.  Val works in a select and hidden club, Cliché, were all the fantasies can be realised. Ari is a brilliant lawyer whose life is cripling under family expectations. Their encounter leads to a contract, that allows them to explore what they can't afford in the light of day: her desire to be taken care of and his need to take control.

Double lives, secrets, but also guilt and hurt are the price to pay for them to bask in the intensity and beauty of their nights together. 


Stylo Fantôme created an incredible atmosphere of pleasure, and lushness where dominance becomes a game both Val and Ari mastered. Only one question remains. What happens when the night clashes with the day?

Blurb

Just five months ago, Valentine O'Dell started working at a very special kind of nightclub – one where you can dance the night away, or live out your greatest fantasy. She's learned to lose herself to her nights, forgetting all her day time woes as she charms every man she meets. It's easy enough to do when she doesn't let her feelings get involved.

Then Ari Sharapov walks in and changes everything.

Working for his father's law firm has left Ari with very little control over his life, so when he sees Valentine for the first time, he sees a girl who is desperate for someone to take care of her. To take over her. So what he can't get for himself in the day time, he'll simply take for himself at night. But when power struggles lead to real feelings, who's actually controlling whom?

Some relationships are better left in the dark.

NINE: THE TALE OF KEVIN CLEARWATER by T.M. Frazier: Blog Tour

Nine: The Tale of Kevin Clearwater (King, #9)Nine: The Tale of Kevin Clearwater by T.M. Frazier
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It's always such a delight when it comes to T.M Frazier's King series and its spinoffs!!! I'll never get enough of that huge family with it's own brand of crazy! Dark humor, sarcasm and fuckedupness reign for my greatest enjoyment!

Action packed and sexy, with a healthy dose of emotions, Nine is clearly one of those books I couldn't put down. 

Kevin Clearwater, aka Nine, had me swooning since the very beginning, thanks to his incredible charm, clever banter and protective and caring personality. 

Through car chases, gun shots, and bombs explosions, protecting Lenny isn't easy a task. Not to mention that this incredible little lady is an independent spitfire. The building tension and anticipation kept me enthralled.

Logan's Beach has a new prince, I can't recommend enough to read his story! Enjoy!!!

CRUEL BEGINNINGS by Lili St Germain & Amelia Queen: COVER REVEAL

CRUEL BEGINNINGS Book 1 in the CRUEL SCHOOL Series by Lili St. Germain & Amelia Queen This is an enemies-to-lovers, dark high school bully romance described by an early reader as "The evil, debaucherous, yet stunningly good-looking love child of Cruel Intentions' Kathryn Merteuil and John Wick."

CRUEL BEGINNINGS

I’m not a girl who expects to be saved. I gave up on fairytales a long time ago. So when my knight in shining Armani stalks into town and delivers me from my tragic fate, I’m grateful.

Darius Prince shouldn’t be in the seedy strip club where I’m paying off my mother’s debts, one piece of my soul at a time. And he definitely shouldn’t be the one who claims me in exchange for a suitcase full of trust fund cash and a deal inked in blood. His dark eyes shine with a hatred so deadly, I wonder why he wants me at all. Especially when I find out he thinks I’m somehow connected to his twin sister’s disappearance. I’ve never stepped foot on the private island my mother grew up on. Never spoken to the Aunt who takes custody of me and whisks me away from everything I’ve ever known. I could never afford a place at the most exclusive prep school on the West Coast, but my mother’s death ensures I get one. Darius doesn’t rescue me. Instead, he drags me into his web of tragic secrets and forbidden desire. He binds me so tight, I can’t find my way out of his grasp. Not that it would make a difference. Escaping my fate isn’t an option. They say every ending is a new beginning. I just didn’t expect my beginning to be so cruel.

WARNING: This isn’t just an enemies-to-lovers romance, guys. This is ABOUT high school students, but it is not FOR high school students to read. 18+ for mature content.
