I am my mother’s daughter. Princess, born to an angel. Who also happens to be The Queen of Hell, and Leader of the Legion, the group of fallen angels that divided Heaven.

I’m organizing a tour for A Cursed Throne the week of April 17th and looking for hosts! This beauty is actually the FIRST book in a new series and only labeled as book 3 because the first two books were a duet from the same universe. Digital copies will be available for serious reviewers!

I repeat A CURSED THRONE is the FIRST in a new series. That said, the author is happy to provide the duet too!

A Cursed Throne

Publication Date: February 27th, 2023

Genre: Why Choose/ Dark Fantasy Romance

I am my mother’s daughter. Princess, born to an angel. Who also happens to be The Queen of Hell, and Leader of the Legion, the group of fallen angels that divided Heaven.

But I am also my father’s progeny. Daughter of a daemon. Sired when his blood was half mortal after the Devil shot him and tried to claim my mother.

The spirit of Heaven, fires of Hell, and blood of mankind runs through my veins, along with the destiny to either rule or destroy those kingdoms. The crown I was born with is heavy. My powers, beyond that which created the universe. But neither have ever felt a burden thanks to Declan, Kai, and Luca.

For as long as I can remember it’s been the four of us. One mortal, two children of the Fallen, and an heir like no other. Bound by an unconventional childhood, we were best friends, and they were my world. But in the blink of an eye they were gone, cutting me out of their life as if I never mattered at all.

So I did what I had to do. I left them, and our shared world behind, and started a new one. Keeping their three traitorous hearts, far from my own.

It’s been three years since the last time we saw each other, and I haven’t forgotten or forgiven. It’s time to come home and get even.

Angel, daemon, mortal…the blood of all three is in me. I am the heir of each bloodline. But when it comes to power, there is none greater than a heart scorned.

A Cursed Throne is a why-choose romance, meaning the main female character gains multiple love interests over the course of the series. It is the first book of three in the second phase of the After the Fall Universe. It is not necessary to read phase one, but highly recommended. This series has dark elements and themes that may be triggering for some readers, including strong language and sexual situations.

My powers are becoming easier to control, but I feel helpless against the curse that confines me here.

There’s a war coming, and I need to find a way to warn Asmo before it’s too late.

We are celebrating the release of You Can Follow Me, a spicy Why Choose romance by Jo Brenner! Read on for more details and a steamy excerpt!

You Can Follow Me

Publication Date: February 28, 2023

Genre: Dark Romance/ Why Choose

For her it was a fling.

After her reputation blows up in New York, Kara takes off for parts unknown, determined to live life one thrill to the next. When a chance encounter with a Navy SEAL leads to the best sex of her life, the promise that it could be something more sends her running.

For them it’s an obsession.

Sexy, brilliant, and lethal, Conor, Micah, and Luke have been best friends since they first joined the SEALS. Until Conor meets a daring redhead and their two-night stand becomes a dangerous obsession. Micah and Luke hatch a plan to convince Conor to move on—but after meeting Kara themselves, all bets are off.

When the three men capture her, she’s forced to confront her feelings—and their anger. But Kara refuses to be anyone’s captive. Though they may dominate her body, she’s determined they’ll never have her heart.

You Can Follow Me is a dark Navy SEAL second chance romance that ends on a cliffhanger. The heroine never has to choose between heroes for her HEA, and the heroes choose her and each other.

Excerpt

He swiped the key card from her, grabbed both of her wrists with one hand, pushing them above her head and crowding her against the door. He paused for a moment—was he checking her reaction to the manhandling? Why was she getting off on this?—but she just pushed her hips against his, already feeling frantic. His mouth descended on hers, hot and hard. They both groaned from the contact, and then he was coaxing—no, coercing—her lips open with his, and for a few dizzy, breathless moments, the floor began to spin again and she forgot her own name.

He pulled away and spoke against her mouth. “If I do anything you don’t want, just say veto.”

And with that, still holding her wrists with one hand, he unlocked the door and pulled her into the room.

He didn’t even flip on the light. Clothes were removed, by him, by her, she had no idea. Then they were on the bed and his hands were everywhere, and so were hers. He didn’t so much as kiss her as eat at her mouth; she got her lips and teeth on his neck. There was some wrestling—a lot of wrestling—that ended up with her face down on the bed, him holding her wrists behind her back. His teeth nipped her ear.

“Kara, struggle like the good girl I know you are,” he said, and a secret part of her that liked this kind of sh*t woke up and gasped. And so she struggled, writhing underneath him, trying to buck him off. He laughed, deep and low, like a caress, and then he did caress her, working his free hand under her hips and rolling his fingers around her clit, making her buck again.

January 24, 2023February 28, 2023Reads & Reels Leave a comment

Hey!

I’m organizing a book tour to celebrate the release of Charlotte Mallory’s new novel Ryder, which is part one of a dark and spicy duology! The tour will run from April 3rd to the 7th and ~~we will have physical ARCs for serious reviewers in the US, and digital for everyone!~~ Only digital left!

Sign up below!

Ryder : Shadows and Desires (Warlord Series Book 1)

Expected Publication Date: March 3rd, 2023

Genre: Dark Romance/ Sports Romance

Julie’s imagination spirals with unprofessional daydreams and Ryder has every intention to help her live them out… until a secret from his past forced them to make impossible decisions.

ENEMIES TO LOVERS
FORCED PROXIMITY
FORBIDDEN ROMANCE
SLOWBURN WITH IMMEDIATE TENSION
STEAMY ENOUGH TO FOG A PHONE

Sports therapist Julie Stevens reconsiders her taste in men when a brooding, legendary MMA fighter walks into her small-town gym. The fighter needs a team to prepare him for the brutal, winner-takes-all Warlord tournament. Meeting him in person, she learns that he’s crass, difficult, and even hostile… but she can’t turn him away, as this is the break that the gym needs.

Not only does she have to deal with the fact that Ryder was her celebrity crush for many years, but she also can’t catch a break with the grumpy fighter. Every encounter seems to go wrong… and then, one day, it doesn’t. Ryder’s walls peel back, piece by piece, until the complicated warrior reveals a man who loves hard and unequivocally. Once he wants something, he’ll fight for it.

Including her.

But that may risk Julie losing the gym that she holds up in her brother’s honor. And what will she think when secrets are dragged out of Ryder’s shadows that he’d much rather keep hidden?

CW: This series contains explicit sex scenes, characters who learn to live with grief, references to trauma, reactions to trauma, & vulgar language. This is a duology with a HEA, with a bonus anthology of their life after the story.

Book Tour: Jet (Temple Maze #2) by Anna Fury – Genre: Dark Romance/ Dark Shifter Romance @RRBookTours1 #RRBookTours #JET

January 23, 2023January 23, 2023Reads & Reels Leave a comment

We are celebrating the release of Jet (Temple Maze #2) by Anna Fury! This beauty has not one but TWO covers for readers to choose from! Make sure you follow along to see which cover our hosts are revealing this week!

Jet (Temple Maze #2)

Expected Publication date: February 28, 2023

Genre: Dark Shifter Romance

Escape from the Temple Maze was only the beginning…

Jet

A psychopath tried to break me, and nothing will ever put me back together. I’m detoxing, pissed off and determined to rescue my baby brother before she breaks him too. There’s just one problem—Achaia. The voluptuous human’s sea-green gaze sets my body on fire. She’s a distraction I can’t afford, no matter how hot I burn for her. My only priority is rescuing my brother—everything else is a distant second.

Renze

How lucky I am to have two delicious mates—the hulking direwolf, Jet, and his exquisitely beautiful neighbor, Achaia. I simply need them to yield to my blood bond. Unfortunately, duty calls. A maniacal villainess hurt Jet, and that sin will not go unpunished. Lives hang in the balance.

Achaia

I have no memory of who I am. Maybe I’m a nobody. Maybe I’m a monster. Anything is possible. It doesn’t stop the sensual vampiri next door from declaring that Jet and I are his. Renze alone is intoxicating, but the monstrous duo together are impossible to refuse. When circumstances send them on a journey in search of allies, I leap at the chance to find my own answers. Renze wants to claim me. Jet can’t stop staring at me. And I just need to find myself.

Can we save Jet’s brother and free an entire continent from a madwoman without losing our heads in the process?

Noire (Temple Maze #1)

Publication Date: July 9, 2022

Genre: Dark Shifter Romance

Welcome to the Temple, the brutal maze where a cunning warlord rules over imprisoned monsters, bending and using them according to her whims. The maze is a dumping ground for souls in need of snuffing out. Got a relative you dislike? Send them in for prompt dispatch. Perhaps a political rival is a thorn in your side? For a price, you can have Rama’s psycho pets kill them for you. Happy hunting.

DIANA

I crossed a ruthless woman, and my punishment? Death within the walls of her Temple Maze. The murderous beasts trapped in these dark halls have only one job tonight–to take my life.

The maze is a game, one where the house always wins. But I’ve got a few secrets of my own. The key to my plan is unleashing the maze’s most dangerous monster–Noire. I know what he wants most of all, and I’ll offer it in exchange for revenge, something only he is capable of exacting.

NOIRE

Marks will say anything to save their skins. I’ve heard every possible lie when they’re begging for their lives.

But tonight’s hunt is different. When I reach my mark, I find a stunning woman. Diana’s body calls to mine, creating a blistering, blinding need that compels me. Her offer is even more enticing: freedom in exchange for exacting vengeance on the woman behind the maze’s creation. The woman I hate with every dark and twisted fiber of my being.

Can I keep Diana safe long enough to get us out? Or will the maze destroy us as we risk everything for our freedom?
