Cruel boy release blitz, Clarissa wild

This was an okay book. 

The storyline is an interesting one and one I enjoyed. But how everything unfolds is where I get a little lost. The characters aren’t fleshed out. It’s almost like the author knows what she wanted them to be, but didn’t explain them to the reader well enough. There’s a lot of things which happen because they need to, not because they logically happen. I also found the bullying to be a little unsophisticated.

Also, as an Aussie I’m not offended by swearing, but here it’s too much and seems forced. I would’ve liked to have seen something other than people being told to f**k off.

In the end, it’s an okay book but not one of my favourites, sorry.

Excerpt

He’s so close now, all the ridges of his abs underneath his shirt are visible, and it’s almost making me want to reach out and touch them.

Stop this, Sam. Just fucking stop it.

“You make me laugh,” he mutters, placing both hands on the windowsill behind me, caging me inside his arms once again.

Goddammit.

“You piss me off,” I reply.

“Keep telling yourself that,” he quips.

One of his hands slides from the windowsill to my hand, and I freeze. His warm hand feels like lightning shooting all over my skin as it travels up my arm.

“You should know better than to taunt me,” he says, leaning in to whisper in my ear. “I like scared little girls … like you.”

His tongue dips out and grazes along the rim of my ear. A chill runs up my spine as he places his other hand on my knee. The oxygen is knocked right out of me when he slides it upward along my thigh.

“You’re a dirty girl, aren’t you?” he whispers, adding a groan that sets my body on fire. “I like that.”

His hand creeps up my red and black checkered skirt, fingers curling underneath the fabric of my panties.

Shit. Shit. Shit. Why am I letting him do this? He’s the bad guy.

He groans again, tugging at the elastic to pull them down. “You’re a filthy … little … thief.”

RIP!

In one quick pull, he’s torn them straight off.

I gasp in shock as he holds my panties in his hand, wearing a victorious grin on his face.

“What the—?”

He brings them to his face and takes a whiff, a delicious moan grumbling in his throat.

“I’ll hold onto these,” he murmurs, stuffing them into his pocket.

And after a dirty look, he turns around and walks off.

“What?” I mutter, ignoring the throbbing sensation between my legs.

He glances at me over his shoulder. “Consider it a down payment … I’ll give them back if you give me those pictures within a day. And if you don’t, I’ll find more creative ways to tempt you.”

So that’s what this is all about. Extortion. I should’ve known, shouldn’t have been so gullible to assume he’d ever feel something for me. Playing with lust as though it’s a goddamn tool.

I spit at him, but it lands on the floor. “You’re a disgusting piece of shit, Nate Wilson.”

He doesn’t even look at me when he says, “Believe me, I know.”

Then he closes the door on me.

Only in my family could a professional hockey player earning seven million dollars a year be considered a slacker.

I’m at the height of my athletic career. Yet my arrogant brother is always trying to recruit me into the family business: a global security company so secretive that I don’t even know its name. 

Pass, thanks. I don’t need a summer job. 

But the jerk ambushes me with a damsel in distress. That damsel is Alex, the competitive, sassy girl I knew when we were kids. Now she’s a drop-dead gorgeous woman in deep trouble.

So guess who’s on a flight to Hawaii?

It’s going to be a long week in paradise. My job is keeping Alex safe, while her job is torturing me with her tiny bikinis. Or maybe we’re torturing each other. It’s all snark and flirting until the threat against Alex gets serious. And this jock must become her major league protector. 

Moonlighter is a stand-alone novel. No cliffhangers, no prior experience necessary. Contains: hackers, hockey players, and a hotel room with only one bed.  

Magic man release blitz and review, Jamie Schlosser

I liked this book. It’s not too big on drama, heavy on the love, but I like that. Its sweet while still being hot.

Casey is a strong single mother trying to do her best.

Gus is adorable and I liked that he wasn’t bound by gender norms here.

Jay was great. I’m a sucker for characters with flaws and bad pasts. I loved seeing him with Gus especially.

As I said, this book isn’t heavy on drama, but isn’t all hearts and flowers either. It’s real and I like that. If you want something real, this is the book for you! 📖📖📖📖

Title: Magic Man

Series: The Good Guys

Author: Jamie Schlosser

Genre: New Adult Standalone Romance

Release Date: September 26, 2019

CASEY

I’ve been putting my son first for so long that I’ve forgotten how to be me. Each monotonous day bleeds into the next, and I feel like I’m struggling to keep my head above water.

But a kiss at the top of a Ferris wheel with a man I barely know changes that.

Jay reminds me that I used to be bold. Vivacious. Funny.

Strong.

Now if only I could convince him his past mistakes don’t define the man he is today.

JAY

I can perform over a dozen illusions with a simple sleight of hand, but I can’t make the felony on my record disappear.

The last thing I should be doing is hanging around a young single mom and her kid.

But Casey doesn’t know that I’ve been watching her. That I want her for myself. That I’m addicted to her dimples, her tenacity, her fierce love for her child.

If I was a better man, I’d leave her alone, but she pulls off the biggest magic trick of all time: making me believe I’m a good guy.

 

Would you say you’re more trustworthy now, or before you went to jail?” I asked. His eyebrows furrowed. “Now, of course. I don’t do the things I used to.” “But you didn’t have a record then.” “Yeah.” He let out a humorless chuckle. “Because I hadn’t gotten caught yet.” “Exactly. Sometimes the squeaky-clean ones only look great on paper because they’ve never been caught. It doesn’t make them innocent or harmless.” We stopped moving. “Casey,” he breathed out, his tone a bit tortured as he buried his face in my hair. “If I was a better man, I’d walk away from you and your son. I’d leave you alone. I’d let some other guy—a doctor or a teacher or anyone who’s not me—sweep you off your feet and give you everything you’ve ever wanted.” “But you’re not that good, right?” I asked lightly, a smile spreading over my lips. Jay pulled back slowly, his scruff scraping against my cheek along the way. Tingles spread over my skin as he gave me a heated look. He cupped the nape of my neck, and his gaze fell to my mouth. “No, I’m not.” And then his lips were on mine.

Noble savages boxset review and release blitz

Brutal Prince by Logan Fox - DNFed at 49%. 📖📖📖

This book was just SO long and to be honest, a bit boring. I really liked the relationship between Briar and Indi but there just wasn’t enough of it. So much of the story was focused on other things, which is where it lagged for me and lost interest. Also, some of the language choices were not in line with the setting, British as opposed to American.

I’m looking forward to reading the other stories within, but this one was not a great one.

Cruel Prince by Rina Kent - 📖📖📖📖

I liked this story much more than Brutal Prince. It had much more romance, which was great. 

I loved the relationship between Levi and Astrid. Levi is a great multidimensional character and I loved seeing all the different sides of him.

I did have issues with some of the language used. It’s supposed to be British English but yet, some terms used weren’t. Also, there were technical errors with the football aspect of the story, as well a general hilarity with Arsenal’s involvement, up the Chels!

Anyway, this is a much more solid contribution to this collection.

Vicious Knight by Nicole Cypher 📖📖📖📖📔

So far this is my favourite book of the collection. I absolutely loved Camden and Eden’s story and them as characters.

Eden is a great character. I loved how she never backed down or shied away from what was happening with Camden.

I loved the complexity to Camden. I loved how he struggled, but i would’ve liked to have seen more issues with his parents.

At times i felt this moved a tad too slowly, but I still really enjoyed it!

Merciless Knave - Esme Devlin DNF at 48%.📖📖📖

I had to DNF this one, I couldn’t get into it. I was so unsure about who Michelle was supposed to be. Was she a snob? A victim? Someone standing up to Tommy? It just didn’t work for me.

I also felt this book moved too slowly. I wanted more progress to be made than he did something then she did something back over and over again. The mobster/gypsy thing didn’t appeal to me either, sorry.

Lawless King - Natalie Bennett 📖📖📖📔

I wanted to love this story, but it was kind of all over the place. Things weren’t explained, characters came in unannounced and unintroduced and it was a bit of a mess.

Story wise, things just happened just because. Nothing was fully formed or fleshed out.

Rhiannon was confusing as she obviously had a dark side, which wasn’t mentioned until it was convenient. I needed her to be definite.

I did like Judas. He was a solid bully character even if I thought it weird an almost 20 year old still being in high school.

As I said, I wanted to love this book, but it wasn’t put together enough for me to do so.

Title: Noble Savages Boxset

Authors: Natalie Bennett ~ Nicole Cypher ~ Esme Devlin ~ Logan Fox ~ Rina Kent 

Genre: Dark High School Bully Romance

Release Date: September 26, 2019

Five sexy full-length novels about the bullies we love to hate from dark romance authors holding a degree in bad boys... 

Lawless Kingdom by Natalie Bennett: 

You can never truly know someone. Not even the ones you love. What started as the best summer of Rhiannon Clemonte's life ended with her world being flipped completely upside down.

All because she got entangled with Judas Baron, the wicked blue blood who will do whatever it takes to keep her by his side.

Vicious Knight by Nicole Cypher: 

I had one mission: get through senior year. As one of the invisibles, it was supposed to be nothing more than a waiting game. That was, until football quarterback and king of the school, Camden Knight, decided to destroy my credibility, reputation, and ultimately... 

me.

Merciless Knave by Esme Devlin: 

Traded like the Queen of Diamonds in a game of cards. ‘Til death us do part; that’s what the Knave of Spades promised. If that’s the way it’s got to be, I’m dragging him to hell with me.

Brutal Prince by Logan Fox: 

Everyone bows to the prince. Well, everyone except me. 

Arrogant, brutal, sexy Prince Briar has made it clear that I’m not welcome at Lavish High, but I’ve got nowhere else to go and I’m not backing down. 

Guess we’ll see who’s left standing when the dust settles. 

Cruel King by Rina Kent: 

Here, little princess. I'm your king.

You have three rules. Bow. Break. Bend the knee.

Fight me all you want, but soon enough, you'll be chanting long live the king.

Natalie Bennett is the creator of erotic stories that always come with a warning label. She writes about depraved alpha a**holes and women that love to hate them. Her books don't follow any specific tropes, have no set word counts, and tend to deviate from traditional HEA's.

When she isn't in front of her computer she's spending time with her husband and their three little boys.

Natalie is an avid fan of caramel frappes, horror movies, Shameless, and of course, reading.

You can find Natalie on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
