[image]
Hills of Shivers and Shadows is a riveting start to the Frozen Fate Duet that left me utterly captivated from start to finish. Pam Godwin once again proves her mastery of the dark contemporary romance genre, delivering an intoxicating blend of psychological depth and raw emotion.
From the moment I delved into Frankie's harrowing journey, I was hooked. The intricate web of dysfunction she finds herself entangled in after being abducted is both thrilling and empowering as she discovers a strength she never knew she possessed.
Godwin expertly crafts a cast of characters that are as compelling as they are complex. The dynamics between Frankie and the four unique men vying for her attention add layers of suspense to an already gripping story.
Told in multiple POVs, Hills of Shivers and Shadows had a multitude of unexpected twists and turns. Godwin keeps readers on the edge of their seats, never letting up on the tension until the very last page. I simply cannot spoil one piece of this plot. Trust me when I say that this is a journey best embarked upon with no preconceptions, allowing yourself to be swept away by Godwin's masterful storytelling.
With a jaw-dropping cliffhanger, Hills of Shivers and Shadows is a must-read for fans of dark romance and intricate psychological drama. I, for one, will be anxiously counting down the days until the final book in the series graces my Kindle.

"Some might consider their love dark and disturbing, but he thought of it as spiritual, unearthly, and wickedly filthy."

Take is the fifth book in The Deliver Series. Although you can read this book as a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading the entire series so that you can get a complete understanding of the idiosyncrasies of the characters, their relationships, and the world in which they live. Kate is a survivor who has already lived through captivity. Although she has done everything to heal and move on, she finds herself held captive again. This time her captor is none other than Tiago Badell a ruthless man who will do whatever it takes for his empire to thrive and to get what he wants. Although Kate is a tool for him to use, he finds himself madly in love with her. Through the bond of a captor and captive, Kate and Tiago navigate through terror, torture, passion, and love.
[image]
"In the end, she saw something in him no one else had been able to see. She saw a heart worthy enough to take."
Told in multiple POV, Take is another powerful read by the queen of dark romance Pam Godwin. The intensity between these two characters is explosive and as the stakes continue to rise, Kate discovers just how strong of a woman she really is. The push and pull between these two was a constant force and the secondary characters enhance the movement of the plot greatly. The action was intense and as always, I simply could not tear my eyes away.
"This wasn't over. He couldn't fail her."
Overall, Take is an absolute must-read for dark romance fans. Pam Godwin never fails to amaze me with her exquisite storytelling skills. She creates complex characters where the boundaries are constantly being pressed to a breaking point. While reading this book, I was going through a very difficult time in my life. I found the escape with Kate and Tiago to be exactly what my heart needed! I will forever be a fan of this author and this series! I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book in the series!

Manipulate is the sixth book in the Deliver Series and once again Pam Godwin has delivered a deliciously dark and sultry contemporary erotic romance that will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire read. Martin and Ricky have gone deep undercover into Jaulaso (the most violent prison in Mexico). Their mission is to uncover information about the infamous Cartel Boss Hector La Rocha. They were not prepared to meet a woman who would change everything and make them whole. Tula Gomez is an innocent woman who is simply fighting to survive. When she is tasked with getting to know Martin and Ricky, an unbreakable bond is formed and the three will never be the same again!
[image]
"The moment we kissed you, you became ours. Our girl."
Told in third person POV, Manipulate is smoking hot with complex characters and a complex plot. The relationship between the three was intense as they were forced to survive deplorable conditions. Tula was quite spirited and the transformation that Ricky and Martin had together was simply stunning!
"Two mouths worshipped her, kissing in sync and catching an urgent rhythm. Her entire body throbbed beneath the pure expertise of their tongues."
Overall, this series would appeal to dark romance readers who enjoy a trip down the erotic (and smoking hot) rabbit hole! I highly recommend a little Ricky, Martin, and Tula to all of my dark romance reading friends!

Dominate is book eight in the Deliver Series. Although each book can be read as a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading the series from the beginning in order to truly enjoy each character and the dynamics between the entire team. Tomas Dine has made a terrible mistake. After experiencing heartbreak and loss, he copes by writing his dead girlfriend emails. He has no idea that his emails are being read by another woman. Rylee Sutton discovered Tomas's emails at a time that she really needed a distraction from the trauma of her own life. Through years of reading his private thoughts and feelings, she is drawn to him and ultimately decides she wants to meet him. However, Tomas isn't quite as enthralled with the idea that a stranger knows everything about him and his team! When he gets his hands on Rylee, he is ready to teach her a lesson and punish her. But in the quest for revenge, passion ignites and the two cannot get enough of each other.
[image]
"Either way, she'd let herself get hurt."
Told in dual POV, Dominate offers a non-stop action-packed romance full of complex characters who thrive in the dark. The stakes are high for Tomas and Rylee as dangerous people are trying to take them down. As always, Pam Godwin offers a dark and delicious read full of raw passion and suspense. I liked the dynamics between Rylee and Tomas but was definitely surprised when their relationship made a huge shift! I would have like to have experienced that transformation a little more intimately between them. Still, I enjoyed this installment and would highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys dark romance!
"He was violence and sex and salvation."
Overall, Dominate is another solid read by Pam Godwin. She never fails to amaze me with the ensemble of characters she has created and the way in which they interact with each other. I am certainly excited for the next book in the series. No doubt, Cole's book will leave us all breathless and wanting more!!!

The Sinner is an action-packed paranormal romance that spans centuries of history. Lucy Dennings is living a quiet normal life, just trying to make her way in the world. Although she has had numerous flings and attractions, she has never found "the one." When Casziel Abisare lands in Lucy's life, everything she thought she understood about her life and her world changes. Cas is from another time, and although he knows the truth about Lucy, he will do anything to protect her from any pain and torment. Cas and Lucy come together like an explosion that cannot stop!

"...ᴇᴠᴇʀʏ ᴘᴀʀᴛ ᴏꜰ ᴍᴇ ꜰɪʟʟᴇᴅ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʜɪᴍ."
Told in dual POV, The Sinner is a delightful read full of passion and tender romance. The historical aspects really enhanced the read because both characters were authentic and destined to be together! As the forces of good and evil battle to the death, Cas and Lucy hold on to each other with everything they have.
Overall, The Sinner will appeal to paranormal romance fans who enjoy an epic love story with lyrical text and complex storytelling. This was my first Emma Scott read, and I look forward to reading more from this author!

Tryst Six Venom is an F/F Contemporary Bully Romance set in a small town where the rich rule the world and everyone else exists to serve them. Clay Collins is a wealthy high school senior living in a glasshouse. With everyone and everything at her beckoned call, her life should be perfect. Instead, Clay is an absolute walking disaster. Despite her mother's best effort to raise her daughter right, she is lost. Olivia “Liv” Jaeger is a girl from the "wrong side of the tracks." Although she knows that getting involved with her classmate Clay is the wrong thing to do, she cannot help the attraction she feels when she is around her. Clay has a boyfriend and surrounds herself with snobby friends, and yet, Liv is destined to change Clay's life forever.
[image]
"My heart is yours."
Told in dual POV, Tryst Six Venom is a typical bully romance with an F/F twist. These characters are brutal to one another, and the physical, psychological, and emotional abuse they force on each other is, for me, not attractive in any way, shape, or form. Although I felt there was great depth in these characters, the behavior between the entire ensemble felt very immature and difficult to relate to. Although I enjoyed certain elements of the read, I was distracted by the juvenile behavior displayed throughout.
"I'll never let anyone else cost me what I love most in the world."
Overall, Tryst Six Venom will appeal to readers who enjoy Bully Romances. This was my first F/F read, and although I was intrigued by the foundation of the plot, overall, I felt the bullying and treatment of all of the characters were too extreme, and it did not allow me to enjoy the story.

When Darkness Ends is the third book in the Moments In Boston Series. Every book can be read as a stand-alone. Pearl Daniels is a college student pursuing a BFA in Theatre. Working evenings and rushing off to rehearsals, she barely has time to take care of herself much less time in her life for a man. However, when she meets Ashe Flynn, she was instantly taken by him and the two begin a passionate young romance full of hope and promise. When circumstances out of their control threaten to tear them apart, they will have to trust in each other and the unbreakable bond they share.
[image]
"I'm never letting you go."
Told in multiple POVs, When Darkness Ends offers a mysterious read full of intrigue, love, and loss. There are some dark elements weaved in the crevises of the plot and as always, Ms. Mann has crafted a story that will keep you glued to the pages. Told in both the present and the past, every character plays a critical role in the plot. My heart was beating fast after growing attached to Pearl, Pearl's Grandmother, Ashe, and the entire crew! Although certain aspects of the story were expected, overall, I was enraptured by the emotional roller coaster and could not wait to find out what was going to happen next!
"From the sun to the moon and every star in between, baby."
Overall, When Darkness Ends will appeal greatly to contemporary romance fans who enjoy mystery and suspense. With dark overtones, passion, and the raw reflection of life, Ms. Mann never fails to entertain. I look forward to more "Mann Goodness" to come!

Black Sunshine is a standalone vampire romance by Karina Halle. Although this can be read as a standalone, I would actually categorize it as an HFN as there are many unanswered questions. Lenore Warwick thought she was just your average ordinary young woman. However, when she has her 21st birthday, her entire world is changed forever. Lenore doesn't know the truth about her upbringing but she is about to find out. Absolon "Solon" Stavig is happy to kidnap Lenore and help her find out exactly who she is. Although the two could not be more different, somehow they are perfectly (and deliciously) matched.
[image]
"You were never alone."
Told in Lenore's POV, Black Sunshine is an epic vampire read full of passion, dark magic, and copious amount of blood. Salon is rather damaged and yet, Lenore offers a balm to his soul. The passion between the two is off the charts and I enjoyed every moment of these two together.
"The blood is love."
Overall, Black Sunshine will appeal to paranormal romance fans who enjoy a quick trip on the dark side. Karina Halle is an excellent storyteller and once again she has captivated me with a fantastical world full of complex characters. I do hope that she will explore more with these characters as I would be happy to jump back into this world again!

Complicate is the ninth and final book in the Deliver Series. For many years the ensemble of vigilantes have fought to protect and deliver those in need. In addition to the quest for fighting evil, they have found passion, brotherhood, and love. Cole Hartman has suffered great loss in his life and he has finally come to terms with the knowledge that he will never love again. When a mission turns unexpectedly dangerous for Cole he meets a woman that will turn his world upside down. Lydia is a woman on a mission and although she cannot deny her attraction to Cole she knows she cannot get distracted from her quest for revenge.
[image]
"The man was fucking potent."
Told in multiple POV, Complicate is a truly bittersweet read. Although I enjoyed every single moment, I am truly sad to say goodbye to this series. With raw passion, action, and espionage, Pam Godwin has crafted an unforgettable world in which I never want to leave. Cole and Lydia are a perfect match and with Cole finding healing and love after experiencing so much loss, I simply could not put this down!
"Together, they were explosive. Unstoppable."
Overall, Complicate will appeal to dark romance fans who enjoy complex characters with a lot of heart. Although each book in the series can be read as a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading the entire series from beginning to end. This is one series you do not want to miss. Although it's hard to say goodbye to this cast of characters, no doubt Ms. Godwin has already started creating greatness and I cannot wait to see what she comes up with next! ...more

“She’s a pretty girl, but she’s stunning when she cries.”
[image]
Cards of Love: The Pope is a taboo contemporary romance full of action and intrigue. Judas is a priest who also comes from a well-established mafia family. Delilah is a young woman seeking safety from an abusive ex. When she finds solace in the church, she also seeks comfort from Judas, who is happy to provide. As the passion between the two continues to build, they have many obstacles to overcome to be together.

“Forgive me, father, for I have sinned.”
Overall, Cards of Love: The Pope will appeal to taboo romance fans who enjoy a heavy dose of scandal in their reads. The passion between the main characters is off the charts, and I was certainly rooting for them every step of the way. This was my first L.P. Lovell book, and I am certainly excited to check out more of her work!

"I want your body as much as I want your heart. Your soul. I want that too."

El Diablo II is a Mafia Romance featuring Crucifixio aka Cruz Martinez. Cruz is Alejandro and Lexi Martinez's son. Alejandro (the original El Diablo) fought hard to protect his family and keep them out of danger. However, one fateful night Cruz and his sister Adriana land themselves in the center of a dangerous and deadly game. Because Cruz was distracted by a beautiful woman, Adriana was taken and now the family must come together to get her back. Sienna Luciano is no stranger to the Mafia World. Just a few weeks shy of her 18th birthday her father decides to use her to strengthen the mafia families by giving her to Cruz. Sienna is a beautiful bride and yet, inside she is a hurricane of fury over being forced to marry El Diablo's Son.
[image]
"I'd love more than anything to prove to you how much you own every last part of me.
Told in multiple POV, El Diablo II is a reunion of sorts with the Martinez Family. El Diablo released in 2016 is by far one of my favorite Mafia Romance reads so having the opportunity to reunite with this crew was something I have been looking forward to for quite some time. Cruz is quite captivating and his love and loyalty for his family is certainly a trait that he learned from his father. The plot is full of action and suspense and as always M. Robinson creates a world full of powerful characters who aren't afraid to kill or be killed to protect the ones that they love.
"The push. The pull. The passion."
Overall, El Diablo II would appeal to readers looking for more of the Martinez Family. Although I enjoyed Cruz, the connection between Sienna and Cruz can never compare to that of Alejandro and Lexi. It has been a while since I have read M. Robinson and even though this isn't my favorite Robinson Read it was nice to be back in El Diablo's World.

"More in control. He's a weapon that's been sharpened and only utilized to cause mass destruction. I'm in trouble."
Told in multiple POV, Sicko is a gritty, dark, and violent read with passion, suspense and a twisted plot. There are many elements of this read that drew me in and kept me hanging on to every single solitary word. The relationship between Royce and Jade is one of passion and just like fire and gasoline when the two come together it's like a fiery explosion. The MC Club and Joyce's brothers provide a family element that all MC Romance readers LOVE. Additionally, the sex club (that plays an important role in the plot) certainly offers an erotic flair that dark romance fans will DEVOUR!!! The absolute standout is the strength that Jade displays throughout the entire story and the love in which Royce just cannot stop himself from giving her.

Overall, Sicko is an absolute must-read for readers who enjoy taking a ride on the rough side. Sicko is anything but light and fluffy (so readers beware). It is dark and the twisted plot will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire read. Although there were some plot points that were unrealistic, Royce and Jade and the dynamics between the two were so intense, that I could not read this bad boy fast enough! This was my first Amo Jones read and I can honestly say- I am DYING for more!

He has always had a soft spot for Eve (a young teenager who also lives out in the wilderness). When Eve finds herself injured and in great danger, Atticus is there to help her and nurse her back to health.

"I don't want her to leave."
Told in multiple POV, The Free is a taboo forbidden romance that is full of passion and raw temptation. Atticus and Eve are a very unlikely pair and yet somehow they made sense. I enjoyed the organic way in which their relationship grew and the two had such fantastic chemistry together. Eve's character was extremely dynamic as she was quite naive in the ways of the world and yet fiercely strong. The passion between the two is undeniably hot and with the dangers of the wild and the complications between these characters, I could not put it down!
"Her spine is made of steel and her heart is an inferno."
Overall, The Free will certainly appeal to taboo romance readers who enjoy a twisted plot and riveting characters. K. Webster is a master when it comes to crafting a forbidden romance. This is one dark and delicious treat that you will not want to miss.
