Mafia Queen (Royal Mafia Book 4) by Bella J.

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Mafia Queen

Romantic Suspense

I give this book 5 stars!

Love will re-write your story… Just trust your heart.

Have a look at the blurb:

There once was a girl who was sold to the devil. The devil ruined her. Destroyed her. Turned her into his pretty, broken girl.

But then her savior came. Her king. He pulled her from hell and cloaked her with his darkness—a darkness that hid her from the devil who wanted his pretty, broken girl back.

By saving her soul and stealing her heart, he managed to put all the broken pieces back together, and she finally found the strength to rise from the ashes.

Brave, fierce, dauntless, ready to slay the devil when he comes for her—and he will come— that girl became a fighter.

She became a queen.

And that girl…is me.

#MyReview:

Happy, anxious and nervous doesn’t even cover how I was feeling when this book appeared. I was over the moon happy because I wanted to know more.
Bella J has created the perfect series for me to read. As you know, I love to read MC books as well as Mafia books and guess… This series, like the name entitled,  it’s a mafia one… And a darn good book…
Bella J is, in my opinion, the Mafia Queen. Her books are to die for and her writing is intense, dark and hot at the same time.
Mafia Queen is her latest release and keeps telling the stories of Antonio and Alessia aka Doe.
But let me tell you something. This book is not a standalone therefore you need to read Mafia King first. But if you really want a perfect inside of this series you should read Mafia Princess, Mafia Prince, Mafia King and finally Mafia Queen.
Trust me that you will love this series. And each cover is even more stunning than the other.
I was so nervous to start this book, nervous because I knew darkness would surround it but we will get some light as well?
Sublime, intense, intoxicated… So many words that crossed my mind once this book was over. After reading the words “The End” I was shaking. I was crying. I was a bunch of stuff at the same time.
I was happy for the way this story progressed but sad because it was over.
Superb plot, super engaging, dark and intense. I can’t describe how much I love this book. How much the story sliced my heart open and glued it back together.
I can’t tell you more because I refuse to spoil but I will tell you one thing. This is, by far, the best mafia series I have ever read. And I do love a good mafia book.
Bella nailed it with this series and this last book was the cherry on top of the cake.
Once I started to read this book I realized that I wasn’t going to be able to stop. So much needed to be said, to be explained that made me read non stop.
I’m so glad for the chance to read this and I can’t wait for more.
Yes, you heard me. More. I want more. So much more.
Oh Bella. What can I say that I haven’t already said?
Nothing. Nessuno… Not a word. Just that you are amazing and an artist.
Thank you for these characters. Thank you for this series. And I can’t wait to read another work from you.

A Few Teasers:

Excerpt:

I stepped closer, my reflection in the mirror becoming clearer. The woman I saw earlier was gone. There was no trace of her in the picture before me. Instead, I saw someone else. Someone I had dreamed about for so long. Every night while locked in my cage, waiting to be hurt, waiting for my body to be defiled again and again, I dreamed of this woman. A strong woman. A fierce woman. A woman brave and tough enough to punish those who deserved it. And finally, here she was, in the mirror, staring back at me.
I closed my eyes, and I saw his face. The way blood poured from his body like a fountain of justice. His eyes glazed over, his skin pale, and mouth open while he choked on his own blood. I leaned my head to the side, and I could still hear the gurgling sounds that came from his throat. It was the same sound I heard the night Master V slit the throat of the girl I chose to share my food with. The same night he cut off my ear, mutilating me. And just like the man I killed tonight, her mouth fell open as well while she tried to gasp for air until…her dead body fell to the ground.
The more I thought about that night, the more I started to smile. Because of me, the man whose throat I slit tonight felt that girl’s pain. He experienced the same death as that poor girl. It felt good, thinking about it that way. There wasn’t an ounce of regret anywhere inside me. Only relief…because justice was served.
When the door slammed shut behind me, I opened my eyes and stared straight at
Antonio’s reflection in the mirror.
He was standing behind me, his eyes wild and dark. Our gazes remained locked as we watched each other in the mirror in front of me. After what happened tonight, I didn’t once think about the repercussions I would have to face when it came to Antonio. My master. I was too high on the adrenaline, the power…the bloodlust. But now the high was
gone, and uncertainty had taken its place.
“Antonio—”
“You killed a man.”

“I know. He wanted—”

“How did it feel?” He took a step closer.
I licked my lips. “I don’t—”
“Speak the truth, Doe. How did it feel?”
I swallowed, watching him as he moved closer, one calculated step at a time. There was no use denying it. The way he kept my gaze, his eyes cold and hard, he already knew the answer to his question. It was written in the stone expression on my face, I was sure.
He stopped right behind me, breathing down my neck. “How. Did. It. Feel?”
I leaned back against his chest and closed my eyes. “It felt…good.”

#MyReview:

Can you imagine the way I was feeling when I received a new message from these authors saying that they had a secret project and they wanted my input on it?? I was super excited about it and couldn’t start it fast enough. Who would have thought that this simple Portuguese girl, that used to hate reading would be enjoying this so much.
Frankie Love and C.M. Seabrook has been in my book life for a while now and I can’t wait to meet them in person…
Kissing Princeton Charming is their latest release and tells the stories of Spencer and Charlie.
Spencer is fed up with the life he has. Being born into a rich family, a politician family is exhausting and he’s fed up with all the lies and appearances… He’s grieving his brother´s death and that isn’t easy. He’s cocky and because of his smooth ways he has a peculiar nickname. When he attends a boring and fake as hell party he couldn’t take his eyes from…
Charlie is feisty that always speaks what’s on her mind. She doesn’t take shi*** from no-one not even from Princeton Charming… Secretly she has a thing for him but she can pursue it.
She needs to work to be able to pay her bills, so her days are filled with studying and working…
I’m mad. I mean happy that this books was amazing but mad because it ended…. I want more… Like right now…
Perfect plot, superb writing full of feelings, emotions and desire.
The chemistry these two share is beautiful despite the bumpy start.
How can two different souls merge? How can you know you’re worth fighting for?
Reading this book was a pleasure. There were some bumps on the road but that only proved to me that this was going to be a masterpiece.
Page after page and I was getting even more addicted to this story. And we have some pretty hot stuff into the mix as well.
Seriously guys? You couldn’t give me the all story? No… You just needed to torture me a bit…
Please give the rest of the story because you guys have some explaining to do…

Snapshot by Rebel Farris

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Snapshot

Romantic Thriller

I give this book 4 stars!

The darkness will envolve you in its web if you don’t fight to reach the light.

Have a look at the blurb:

A new standalone romantic psychological thriller, from the author of the Falling Small Duet.

Love stories don’t usually start with tripping over a dead body.

But mine did. That’s when I met him.

I never thought taking pictures in the woods would be dangerous. Nothing ever happened that far out in no man’s land. But when I stumbled upon a dead body and a man with a mysterious accent, I knew I was in over my head.

Sometimes, choices aren’t simple. Sometimes, things aren’t as they seem. And now, I can’t tell if he’s my savior, or if I’m his prisoner.

When your only choice is the devil you know or the devil you don’t…

How do you choose when it’s not just your life but your heart on the line too?

**This book contains adult language and graphic sexual situations.**

#MyReview:

It’s always a pleasure to read books. What’s even more awesome is that you can text the author and talk with them. It’s great the connection you have with them. So good.
Rebel Farris is another amazing author that I’ve had the pleasure of reading other books from. Her writing is raw and intense, wild and with so much passion between each chapter. Just see for yourself.
Snapshot is her latest release and tells the stories of Rosie and Xander.
But let me just tell you something. This book is a standalone but it’s the prequel to the Falling Small duet. Just give it a shot.
Rosie is just an ordinary woman living her life, working as a waitress and living in a trailer. She has dreams like everyone, but life has other ideas for her. On her day off, she thought to go for some quiet place in the woods, to read a book and take some pictures but when she sees a dead body she couldn’t even imagine the turn her life was about to get.
Oh boy… This was different alright. The fact that the book took place in 1989 makes all the difference. Because no cellphones, or Wi-Fi, or stuff like that.
The book is told only in Rosie’s point of view but I think it would be better if we could have an input from Xander.
Great plot, very well written, engaging and surround by a thick cloud of mystery. Oh boy.
These two share a great chemistry and the hot scenes are pretty good. You’ll like that.
The way this story ended left me wanting to read False Start and Pivot Line again. I know what happened but if I didn’t I would be pissed. The ending left me thinking…
The secrets that surrounded this story left me wanting to keep reading and reading to find out more. I needed to know more so I looked like a mad woman. Lol
Oh Rebel you really know how to take us out of our comfort zone. The way you created this story left us wondering a bunch of stuff. Great job and I want more. So what’s next?

Washed Up Royal by Kim Karr

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Washed Up Royal

Contemporary Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

Love is not always easy and you will find it when you least expect…

Have a look at the blurb:

From New York Times bestselling author Kim Karr comes a dashing new, sexy standalone royal romance.

A simple notification turns my world upside down…

The tabloids are reporting,
I’ve taken the crown and run. (Not entirely true)

As you might have guessed,
I’m not an ordinary girl and I don’t lead an ordinary life,
But that doesn’t mean I always follow the rules.

This time, though, I feel compelled to obey.
Which means I have to find a king,
To sit alongside my throne,
Or lose it all.

With only the clothes on my back,
I head to the land of majestic playboys,
Where a royal rebel strides right into my life.

With his sultry eyes and sinful lips,
He turns my world right-side up.

The press is calling him washed up. (I think he’s anything but)

Gorgeous, sexy, irresistible,
And utterly charming,
He’s exactly what I’m looking for.

Everything is almost too perfect,
Too easy.

Until I discover,
This hot-blooded royal has a reason for being here.
And it’s more than just me.

That thing I said about easy,
Turns out…
Nothing ever is.

My royal rebel has a name,
It’s Prince Adrien Laurent.
My name is Princess Victoria Blanchette.
And this is our story.

#MyReview:

That’s it… I really need to get away. Away from everything and find a place that I can read non stop. I mean, I love my family, don’t get me wrong, but I’ve been getting so many books to read but my time is limited… Why?? Lol
Kim Karr has given me some pretty amazing books and I want you all to read them and see for yourself. Her writing is raw and intense, wild and passionate, with so many feelings between each chapter. Just go read them. Read and find out…
Washed Up Royal is her latest release and tells the stories of Adrien and Victoria.
Victoria aka Tori is a princess used to follow the rules. She wants to live her life but being a member of the royal family has its perks. After ending her engagement she receives the news that in order to become a queen, she needs to get married or else she will lose it all. In order to do so, she needs to marry a member of the royal family. Simple right? Wrong…
Adrien a well known prince wants to live his life for way he likes. But after gossip after gossip he’s fed up with it all.
One mistake had taken his name to the ground and now he wants to get away from everything.
Another masterpiece. That’s what I have to say.
Another breathtaking story that melted my heart and warmed my soul.
Perfect plot, very well written, super engaging and sweet. These two are perfect for each other and the chemistry they shared is unique. And the hot scenes will melt your panties… So just have a few to spare.
Each chapter had the perfect intensity that glued me to my kindle. I wanted to know  more and more so I kept reading and reading.
Let’s just say that once I started to read it I couldn’t put it down. I tried but I couldn’t.
Kim Karr this book is to die for. Starting with the stunning cover, then the story. Oh boy… I want more.

Maddox (Savage Kings MC Book 5) by Lane Hart and D.B. West

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Maddox

MC Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

No matter what life throws at you because when you have to succeed you’ll fight for it.

Have a look at the blurb:

Who the hell is Deacon Fury?

That’s the question I asked myself when I was fifteen and saw his name on my birth certificate for the first time.

Deacon Fury may be long gone from this world, but at least he left behind a legacy – the Savage Kings MC.

Deep down, I knew that I was destined to become a King too. That’s what brought me to Emerald Isle four years ago.

And after putting in the hard work, I’m a breath away from patching in, becoming a brother.

That is, until she took my breath away.

One of my final orders as a prospect was to find Audrey O’Neil and keep her safe during the hurricane that devastated the coast.

War is not only my sponsor, he’s been like a father to me since I first came to town. Now, I’m falling for his sister, and if War finds out, he’ll kill me.

But how am I supposed to choose between following in my father’s footsteps with the MC or being with the one woman who makes me feel like I’m already a Savage King?

This is the fifth book in the Savage Kings MC series, but it can be read as a standalone.

The suggested reading order is:

Chase
Abe
Torin
War
Maddox

 

#MyReview:

It really doesn’t matter what I’m doing or will be doing because each and every time a new book from these two arrive my kindle I will leave everything behind and start to devour it. It’s stronger than me. I can’t. I won’t.
And to top it all it’s another MC book from a series that I’m passionate about. I’m hooked, line and sinner…
Lane Hart has been a constant in my reading life and her books are to die for. To top it all, she started to write MC books, my favorite genre of all times, with D.B. West and you can guess… Both have a writing that can evolve you in a web of troubles, lies and so much passion… So much more…
Maddox is their latest release and it’s the fifth book from the Savage Kings MC series. A series that you must read despite the fact that all books are standalones, reading this series in order will help you contextualize the characters as well as their life’s and connections… Trust me…
This new book explores the lifes of Maddox and Audrey.
Maddox had a normal childhood. He was raised by his parents, nothing unusual in there until he sees a name in his birth certificate. After 15 years he finds out that his father isn’t who he thought it is and the need to know more overpowered everything. Associated with this, it came the Savage Kings MC and the lifestyle. He knew that he needed to be apart of that. He needed to become an MC brother so he devoted his time to achieve that. But then someone caught his attention as well but there’s a slight problem…
Audrey lost her parents on an accident and since that day she has been living with her big brother. She idolizes him and helped him raise his son. But there is a thing, she doesn’t know that her brother is associated to an MC.
When a beautiful man is sent to protect her during an hurricane…
So freaking good, so amazing, so intense. How can I stick to just one word to describe this book?? I can’t so…
Superb plot, super engaging and intense. Each chapter was even more insane than the last.
It’s amazing what our determination can do to us. It’s amazing what a dream can rule our lifes but a nightmare can pull it down.
No matter what life throws at you because when you have to succeed you’ll fight for it.
This story gave us love, loyalty, family, dreams, desires as well as fears, betrayal, crime and so much more.
Guys…hot stuff alert… Oh boy… Hot hot hot
This series is getting better and better and I’m eager to read the next one… Oh boy… I want more.
Lane and D.B. I need more… I want more and fast.
Can’t wair for what’s about to come.

A Few Teasers:

Excerpt:

This was fun and all,” I say, in the understatement of the year, as I pull my jeans up my legs, “but I need your phone right fucking now so that I can find Aubrey.”

“Okay, but it’s Audrey,” she replies as she rolls to her side. Propping her head up on her bent elbow, she watches me dress. “And don’t stand within five feet of me while you’re using it.”

I pull my shirt over my head and ask, “Fine. Where’s your phone?”

“Very close. You won’t believe just how close it is.”

“Just tell me already!” I exclaim as I sit down on the side of the bed to put my soaked socks and shoes back on in the dark.

Slipping her hand under the mattress, she pulls out the thin phone and hands it to me.

“Fuck,” I mutter as I take it and power it on, making the screen brighten up the room. “I don’t know if I can remember War’s number.”

“He’s in my contacts,” she says.

“What now?” I ask. Did she say War’s number is saved in her contacts? Pulling up the list of friends and family, it’s so short that I quickly get to the W’s. I tap on Warren’s name to call him. While it’s ringing at my ear, I ask her, “Why do you have War’s number in your phone?”

“Because he’s my brother.”

I freeze as her words start to sink in slowly.

“Audrey! Are you okay? I’m so damn sorry I couldn’t get down there. You wouldn’t believe the shitstorm we’ve been through,” War says when he answers the phone, thinking I’m her and confirming what I was beginning to fear.

Unable to come up with any words other than oh shit, I thrust the phone into Audrey’s face.

Audrey! She’s fucking Audrey!

“Hi, Warren,” she says sweetly, apparently forgetting her “five foot” rule. “Where are you? Yeah, he did. His phone died and mine has been off.” Audrey looks up at me, her angelic face glowing, thanks to the phone at her ear. “We just got to Raleigh,” she lies, and then has the nerve to wink at me as she digs my grave deeper.

No, no, no. This cannot be happening!

I fucked War’s sister and now she’s lying to him, so I’ll have to lie to him. I’m so damn screwed!

“I don’t think we can make it to Greensboro,” Audrey tells her brother. “In case you haven’t heard, there’s a gas shortage, thanks to everyone draining the stations! Yes, I’m fine. We’ll be fine,” she assures him.

We are not fucking fine.

I’m the furthest thing you can get from fine!

Everything I’ve worked for with the MC is circling the goddamn drain all because I was a horny idiot. Why couldn’t Audrey have been a two-hundred-pound female bodybuilder with golden eyes? If she looked like War in a wig, I never would’ve made this mistake. Instead, she looks nothing at all like him. There’s zero resemblance!

She must have been adopted, that’s all there is to it.

“We need to get off the phone, Warren! Yes, and I love you too,” Audrey says softly into the phone before she holds it up to me, causing her bare tits to jiggle distractingly. I have to clench my fists to keep from lowering a hand to grab one. “He wants to talk to you now.”

F.M.L.

Swallowing hard around the knot in my throat, I un-ball my fist to take the device and try to make my voice steady when I say, “Yes, sir?”

“How bad has she been?” he asks.

So fucking bad, I start to say.

But no, that has to be a trick question.

“Ah, I’m not sure what you mean,” I respond instead, while scratching the back of my head with my free hand.

“Her astraphobia,” War clarifies, as if I have any fucking idea what that word means.

“Her what?” I ask. Hearing this, Audrey grabs a pillow and covers her face with it.

“Audrey has a severe fear of thunderstorms, but she sounded pretty calm. You must have got her inland before the weather got bad.”

Glancing over at the heavy furniture blocking the windows, that, along with the spontaneous seduction, starts to finally make sense. Guess the orgasms I gave her were also calming…

“Maddox? You there?” War asks when I remain lost in my thoughts for too long.

Finally, I’m able to say, “Oh, yeah, Audrey’s fine. I mean, she seems to be doing okay.”

“You’re going to hunker down in Raleigh to wait out the hurricane?” he asks. And since the sexy liar has now backed me into a corner, I have no choice but to go along with the fib.

“Yep. We’ll stay here in Raleigh until it’s safe to go back,” I say. “Everything is completely under control.”

And it will be. Because as soon as I hang up the phone, you can bet your ass that I’ll be dragging his sister downstairs, throwing her in the van, and taking her to fucking Raleigh. “How are things going there?” I ask War to spin the conversation back to him.

“It’s been one helluva day,” War grumbles before lowering his voice. “But that’s a long story for another time. I don’t want Audrey to know how bad it was just yet.”

“Understood,” I reply, knowing it must have been serious if he asked me to come get his sister instead of doing it himself.

“I appreciate you picking Audrey up for me and keeping her safe,” he says.

“No problem,” I tell him, even though I know he’s not finished.

“Do I need to go through the formalities of warning you not to touch my little sister while you’re watching out for her?”

“No, sir, absolutely not,” I respond, squeezing my eyes shut as I recall looking at and touching every amazing inch of her, inside and out.

“Because you know what would happen if you step a toe out of line, don’t you?” he threatens.

“I do,” I agree.

“The beating you would get after I take your cut would make Holden’s beatdown look like a cat fight,” War elaborates, reminding me of the day every one of the Savage Kings got to pound their fists into the prospect who turned out to be a rat.

“Yes, sir. I understand.”

“Good. Take care and we’ll talk soon,” he says before hanging up on me.

Don’t Let Go by Willow Winters

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Don’t Let Go

Contemporary Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

Perfect and intense. Each story will melt your heart.

Have a look at the blurb:

From USA Today bestselling author, Willow Winters, comes an exclusive collection of novellas available no where else!
Seductive. Addictive. Captivating.

The irresistible heroes in these stories have those three features in common.

Some stories are second chance; others are fated love. But every single one of them, you’ll crave to the last page.

This is a collection of tales published by Willow Winters but no longer available. These stories touched my heart, but were exclusive at the time so if you didn’t snag them then, they were lost to you forever.
I wanted to make sure you could read all of my work and now you can.

Happy reading, xx

The stories available in this collection are:

Infatuation, the first novella in the USA Today best-selling bundle, Drawn to Him.

Desires in the Night and Keeping Secrets, both shorts published in exclusive bundles with best-selling author Adriana Locke.

Bad Boy Next Door, a novella I wrote years ago that I still often think about. The damaged hero and second chance love in this romance is one I wish I could go back to often. It’s the final tale included in this collection for a total of 4 stories not available anywhere else!

#MyReview:

I’ve been reading so many books from this lady and I can’t get enough. Once I finish one book I’m texting her asking for more. Yep… That’s me… I’m a little greedy. Lol
Willow Winters knows what she’s doing and each book will grab your attention in a sec and you will not be able to put the book down. Trust me. Been there, done that…
Don’t Let Go is her latest release and it’s a book you can’t miss.
This book is a compilation of other stories that are not available anymore. She wrote them a long time ago and now she presented us with this amazing gift.
Each story will melt your heart and souls and I advise you to grab it now.
You will fall in love with the characters, with their struggles and desires.
Each book will hook you up and you will fall in love.
Superb plots, super engaging and intense. Each one made me cry or smile, of laugh, or curse.
I’m not going to say more because I hate to spoil. I just hate it so you need to go read. Go and let us all know what you think.
Willow… Oh Willow… I’m even more in love. And guess what?
I want more. More I tell ya.

About the Author:

Willow Winters is so happy to be a USA Today, Wall Street Journal and #1 Contemporary Bestselling Romance Author. She likes her action hot and her bad boys hotter. She certainly doesn’t hold back on either one in her writing!
Willow started writing after having her little girl, Evie, December 2015. All during her pregnancy with Evie she continued to read and she only wanted to read romance. She was reading a book a day — sometimes two.

In January 2016 Willow was staying up late with Evie and just thinking of all these stories. They came to her constantly so she finally sat down and just started writing. She always wanted to do it so she figured, why not? Today Willow cannot be happier for making that decision!

Salvaged Hearts (No Longer Broken Duet Book 2) by Lilly Wilde

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Salvaged Hearts

Contemporary Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

Trust fate, trust in love and you will get a surprise.

Have a look at the blurb:

Life has a way of giving you exactly what you didn’t expect.

When I’m sidelined by Mama’s illness, time in Blue Ridge becomes more than medical visits and sitting bedside. It unveils secrets that leave me spiraling out of control. My only solace is the inexplicable connection I feel with single-mother Ragan Prescott, a woman I shouldn’t want.

I’ve somehow caught the eye of NFL’s Man on Fire Branch McGuire, and I now find myself in the center of a clique that shunned me in high school. Despite my caution, the attraction to someone like Branch is more than I can fight. Flashes of the life I escaped are pushed aside as I embrace the advances of a man most will only dream of.

It was supposed to end with one night.

When a small-town event leads to an intimate setting flooded with high-school behavior and booze, we make an agreement that opens more than just a bedroom door. Free of inhibitions and laced with desire, a drunken dare becomes an evening of seduction and lust.

But fate had other ideas.

Will our shattered beginnings serve as the precursor to an equally punishing future, or will we emerge renewed by the love of Salvaged Hearts?

**Book Two of the No Longer Broken Duet.

#MyReview:

To say that I was super anxious waiting for this book is an understatement. I was super excited, curious and eager to start reading.
You see, when you read the first book in a duet it can go in two ways. First you’ll love it and can’t wait for the next one and second you love it. Seriously, with this lady it can’t go wrong.
Lilly Wilde is the amazing author behind this series. Her writing is raw and intense with so much feelings between each chapter. Just grab her books and see for yourself.
Salvaged Hearts is her latest release and it’s the second book from the No Longer Broken duet. It’s imperative that you read Shattered Beginnings because these series is not a standalone.
This new book keeps telling us the stories of Branch and Ragan.
As you know, if you don’t go read the first book, the first book ended in a way that made the scream my head off.
So good, so amazing, so intense… Each chapter… Dayum.
Superb plot, very well written, super engaging and intense. I’m still shaking…
The interaction between the characters is so real and intense that made me love them even more. Despite the stubbornness that surrounds these two, they share a great chemistry and in the end…
There were parts of the book that I wanted to hurt someone really bad but there were others that I wanted to hold them close and promise better days.
Once I started to read this book I simply couldn’t put it down. I couldn’t because the need to know more almost drove me insane.
This story presented us with love, loyalty, family, dreams but it had also given us deceive, pain, abuse and secrets.
How can you move forward when your past keeps pushing you down?
The themes explored in this book are what we have just around the corner.
I’m so happy for the opportunity to read this duet and I want more.
Oh Lilly. I missed your writing. This duet was another masterpiece and I can’t wait to read a new book from you.

Dark Castle (The Dazzling Court Book 1) by Fawn Bailey

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Dark Castle

Dark Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

Sometime a fairytale is not what you thought it would be…

Have a look at the blurb:

Forget white knights, bring on the dark princes! This is a truly dark fairytale. I hope you have your magic wand at the ready… you’re going to need it! – Jade West, USA Today bestselling author

From USA Today bestselling author Isabella Starling writing as Fawn Bailey, a contemporary, dark fairytale trilogy filled with luxury, lies and seduction.

Once upon a time, a prince stole my heart. But that wasn’t enough for him. He wants to own me, and I’m more than eager to kneel for him. Being the heir to a kingdom, Prince Olivier Bellamy has all the gold I’ve ever dreamed of… and getting married to him is the only way for me to save myself and my loved ones.

Unfortunately, the battle for his heart won’t be easy. A royal competition for Prince Olivier means I’m going up against twelve other girls – and they are as beautiful as they are ruthless. But I’m not going down without a fight. I’m not Amber Jonathan, poor little girl from the wrong side of the tracks anymore. I’m finally ready to wear the crown. And I’ll do anything to get it.

But not everything is as it seems at the royal court. Dark secrets, castle intrigue and hidden twists await me on my journey to the throne. And soon enough, I realize Prince Olivier isn’t the only royal interested in my hand…

Someone else wants more than just his ring on my finger. The royal bast*rd, Bruno, will stop at nothing to put his heir inside me. And just when I think I have the money in my pocket, and Olivier wrapped around my little finger, the rules change… and the games truly begin.

Dark Castle is the first book in The Dazzling Court trilogy. Amber’s story continues in Wicked Prince and Ever After.

 

#MyReview: 

When I started to read this book I was super nervous and excited. I’ve read the prequel, Rich Man’s Toy and you must read it first. It will enlighten your mind for what’s about to come.
Fawn Bailey is the queen of darkness. Her books will grab your attention from the first page and you will only put it down once the book is over. Trust me.
Dark Castle continues to tell Olivier and Amber’s stories.
These two met in a party, given in Amber’s name and the chemistry they shared…. Oh boy…

After that, months had passed until the day AMber recieved an invitation…
I’m stunned. I’m speechless… Dayum this book… And I’m mad… Mad because it’s over and the thought of having to wait too long to get the next book… Ugh… I need it. And fast.
Superb plot, very well written, super engaging and detailed. Each chapter made me feel like I was going to pass out. The intensity of each scene were to much to bare.
There were parts of the book that I wanted to slap someone. Jesus… There are people out there that have the need to hurt someone. But there were others that I needed some cold showers… Jeez. The hot stuff is… Dayum.
I’m eagerly waiting for the next book because I know it will be out of this world.
Fawn… Dayum girl… What are you doing to us???
I’m having trouble deciding if I’m team Olivier or team Bruno… Who will I choose??

#MyReview: 

Ever since this amazing author told me that she was creating a new series I’ve been nervous as hell. But not in a bad way, no sir. It’s in a good way because I know it will be a dark masterpiece.
When she started writing Rose and Thorn series, she presented us with several second characters that I needed to know more about and this new series is about one of them.
Fawn Bailey has a peculiar writing, dark and intense that will shake you to your knees. Just trust me.
And just advise you to read all of her books. You’ll see why
Rich Man’s Toy tells Amber and Olivier story.
Amber used to be a ballet dancer that felt like something good was missing. When she meet Harlow she found a friend for life but her life changed dramatically and…
Olivier is soon to be king. Being the heir he needs to settle down and have a son. But…
Oh Jesus… Intense doesn’t even cover it. Amazing, simply amazing.
Perfect plot, super engaging and intense. It was a short story but it gave us an insight of what’s about to come.
Can’t wait to read the next book.
Fawn… Oh fawn… This book… Oh boy. I need more. I want more and I’ll read it now.
