She’s not who—or what—she appears to be. Neither is he. 

Supermodel Vori would be happy to stay in the human world, blissfully ignoring her true nature. But no. The blood vow she once made requires her to return to the Goblin Court. And since going alone would mean consenting to an arranged marriage, she needs a fake husband. Someone no one would miss if there was an unfortunate…accident. Vori knows the perfect villain for the job. 

Witch Perry used to be a hotshot lawyer. But that was before he made all the wrong choices, wound up in league with a demon, and was left to rot in prison. Now, he has a second chance. He can finally earn his redemption. Too bad his last hope is the woman he ghosted two years ago. 

It’s not long before Vori and Perry realize they aren’t as different as they thought—and that the line between enemies and lovers can be razor thin. But if they want their happily ever after, they’ll first have to stop a supernatural killer and survive a royal smackdown. Should be easy for a goblin princess and her dashing antihero, right? 

If only. 

EXCERPT

“You’re no monster.”

“Neither are you.” 

“I’m not the consort you need.”

She should let it go, let him go, but she couldn’t. Closing the space between them, she tapped into his powers, a gesture that’d become so familiar in the last few days. His magic was muted beneath her touch, a steady, reassuring hum. “You’re the one I want.” 

He snagged her fingers between his. “Don’t, princess.”

Her title usually grated like the pinpricks of unfinished tailoring on coarse fabrics. With him, it slid over her senses smooth as silk. The slight command in his voice called to a part of her that needed him to do it again. To dominate. To rule in his own way. To spark those powers over her skin and see what heat he could send through her before she devoured the magic one slow pull after another. “Don’t what?” 

 “Don’t tease with something I already crave. One taste was bad enough. Any more and I won’t let you go.” There it was again. His demanding insistence calling to her.

She angled her head so the slightest shift by either of them would bring her lips to his, a dare to provoke him into unleashing the sexiness that flashed beneath that straitjacket control. Anticipation zipped through her as much as his powers ever did. What would it be like to let him take over, hold her down, and use that lawyer voice to say filthy, delicious things to her? 

“Promise?” she asked.

The noise he made in response had her body tightening and tingles rushing through her. Had she siphoned his magic without trying? Impossible. This was her response to him, to that carnal and oh-so-masculine sound, to his scent, to his nearness.  

More. She needed more. 

She’d made the first move before. She could do it again. Tip-toe him to the edge until he either pulled away or committed to being all in. A soft kiss. Just a tease of what could be. If he would only stop thinking so damn much. Whatever hell he was putting himself through, the torment was etched in the tight lines around his mouth, the clench of his jaw, the strain in his shoulders. 

“Princess.” His voice was rough, a damn near growl. Perhaps she wasn’t the only one with a beastly side in this room. The question was how to snap that control of his that had him bound. 

Good thing she could pick any lock. 

“Choose.” She pushed enticement, urgency, finality into a single word. A sharp pick. 

She pressed her breasts against his chest. The hook.

Letting the stillness swirl all their sexual tension to a fever-pitch, she waited for the pressure to catch against the barriers he’d put between them. Click. Click. 

The imaginary pins lined up in her mind, snapping into place and pushing against her in a resistance that couldn’t hold. Click. So close to release.

“I’ll always choose us.” He curled his hand around her neck, hauled her close, and claimed her mouth in a kiss that left no question as to his certainty. 

Damn, her witch could kiss. It was a possessive, bruising explosion of a kiss. None of the hesitation or uncertainty of before. Gone was the restraint. 

He demanded and took, and all she could do was race to catch up as his hunger hurtled them both toward something that had been building since they met. She did the only thing possible. She kissed him back with everything she had.

Perry ran his hand along her back, catching his fingers along the column of buttons. “These will be fun.”

“Where’s a goblin gown when you need it?”

“You should have one of those in every color.” He pressed his mouth to her jaw, sending a shiver through her. “How much time do you think we have?” 

“Not enough.”

His wicked chuckle slid along her skin, chasing the chills with heat. “As I was saying before, I want to spin you around, undo each ladylike button, and press my lips against the skin as I unwrap you inch by inch.”

Her temperature kicked up yet another degree. Of course, the man who never stopped thinking or talking would narrate his intentions—however naughty. “Dirty talk. My favorite.” 

“I’ll remember that.”

“The filthier, the better.” The last word caught in her throat on a moan with the way he cupped her breast and grazed his teeth over a particularly sensitive spot. He was so warm. And solid. And decadent when it came to kissing. 

He moved as if they could slow time, circling his fingers around those damn buttons the way she wanted him to trace her skin. “Mmm, I’ll have to reconsider my position on buttons. These have possibilities.” 

“That you can test later. Stop tormenting me.”

“I haven’t. Not yet. I’m still being a gentleman.” One who had her wet and wanting.

Their first kiss had been hours ago and years in the making. Now, she wanted all of him.

HAPPY MONDAY ALL

  Good morning peeps hope everyone is doing well . I myself is happy to be back after a few mental health days , yes sometimes even book lovers need a few days away from all things book. But, I am back and ready to get going again . Today I have the third and final book in the Here to There series . HEIR TO A DISTANT LAND  by Hp Mallory and J.R Rain 

                          BOOK BLURB

 After barely escaping Sherinford Boku, Elle and Patch find themselves alone in the forest with no idea where to go next.

Good thing for them that Sasha, Doyle, and Rackham are searching for them.

But so are Spyder and Carl the Gray…

And Simon still appears to be possessed by the dark god, Seligar...

                       MY REVIEW 

 Elle and Patch have escaped and now they have to figure out where they should go. There is one good thing her best friend and protectors are looking for them. But there is also the assassin and the king that are trying to find them also and oh yeah don't forget the man Elle is betrothed with is possessed by a dark God named  This is just the start of the day for Elle and Patch will they survive and get back to each other . 

   Ok I am going to say this Elle drove me crazy in the first two books , she just came off air brained and really kind of whiney but she actually redeemed herself in book three. She became the strong character that we are hoping she would . Patch is back and well he is kind of lost in this book, He is still the strong sweet guy who just wants to protect Elle.  He is conflicted he knows he needs to let Elle go but in his heart he loves her and really doesn't want to let her go . He is such a sweet man who wants love and to be loved . Simon well he is just awful turning evil when he is possessed by the dark God but deep down inside I think that he could of been a little dark all along . Each character is well written and complex. They grew through out the series and you will like them .

  This is the last book in the series and I must say the authors did a good job wrapping everything up . It was a fast read and you honestly felt like you were in the middle of the action . The story is fast paced but didn't lack in any way . I really like the writing style of each of these authors on their own but together they can build an universe that you really want to visit . So if you like fantasy check out this series . Add them to your summer reading list .

HAPPY RELEASE WEEK TO LYNN BURKE

  Good morning peeps welcome to Wednesday already . Today is release week for Lynn Burke and her new book SEEKING TWO LOVERS . 

                            BOOK BLURB

 Finding my ex-fiancé beneath the man we invited into our relationship jaded my heart, and I refuse to share lovers ever again.

The dating app Missing Link offers me the chance to fulfill my desire of having two men love on me at the same time—without the crossing of swords.

Fate plays her games, and I end up separately dating two men at the same time, who as a whole, would be my dream come true.

The problem?

They’re roommates. Best friends. And neither knows the girl they claim to have fallen for is one and the same.

When the truth is uncovered, I perceive the unrequited love in one’s gaze and unrecognized feelings in the others.

But the fear of being set aside a second time comes too late.

I’m already in too deep.

                         MY REVIEW

 Lily is living her life in California after her break up from her sweet boy friend who is now with the man he loves . She is wondering what it would be like to have two men to have fun with . Enter the missing link a dating app where she finds a guy that could maybe scratch an itch she has . Also she meets the sweetest most shy guy at the coffee shop she works at for the summer . She is attracted to both of them, little does she know that they are best friends and roommates . Will she finally find the men that will  fulfill the fantasies she has or will they leave her in the dust . 

   Hmmmmmmm ok this is Lily's story and it is well written .  At the beginning of the book though Lily really kind of annoyed me , she still seemed to be a little naive in a way and just a little spoiled . I know she is insecure about relationships through out the book . But she really surprised through out the book as she matured and you really got to see the way she truly loves and wants to be loved. The men that come into her life are like polar opposites of each other but are best of friends . Greyson well he is the West coast surfer kind of guy who has money but is a good guy . He is kind of bossy every now and then but deep down in his heart he is a loving man who wants love and wants to love the two people in his life .  Blaine is well he is a broken tortured man who wants to be loved . He has had such a tortured past that still haunts him to this day.  He is just sweet and loving all you want to do is wrap him up in a warm blanket and just hold him and love him .Each of them are complex but when together they really do complete each other . 

  This is the one book I was waiting for, I really wanted to see how Lily grew up and found her loves . The author did a great job in bringing Lily , Greyson and Blaine together. There were moments where I was laughing so hard that I actually snorted and there were many parts where tears were flowing freely especially when Blaine 's story was being told .  There are triggers in this book about past child abuse and sexual abuse in a cult .  This is one of those storires that you can sit down and read in an evening , especially if you love characters that are flawed and broken .So check it out .
