Review: Cupid - Jade Eby and Kenya Wright - February 2015

When I saw this cover , I was drawn to this book as the cover screamed horror with a romantic twist. It's almost a sadistic type cover which does capture those who are judge the book by the cover people in. Then I saw the heading Dark Erotic Romance and I was like ok in for that type of story. I was however in for a rollercoaster of a ride and one filled with surprises. The book started with Asher - a billionaire and sole heir to a fortune and a company - he is at a party that I could imagine would rival Jay Gatsby's - it just had that sort of setting to it and I think they did chuck a quotation or reference to The Great Gatsby in the midst of the book. He then tells his mother he is off and he heads over to a house on the island where Neil is having an affair with his secretary and he kills them both. We later discover that he is a serial killer who kills unfaithful men and the occassional unfaithful women. The book then jumps to his house and that's when we catch on/off glimpses of his mother - not to spoil the storyline but readers - the relationship of Asher and his Mum will leave you in a state of wonder. We then met Diana - she is the wife of Neil and is a newspaper reporter , she is curious about "Cupid" and is approached by Asher Bishop to fund an investigation into Cupid - this is his little game to stay one step ahead. He finds himself though falling for Diana , but what will happen when Diana stumbles over his dark and dirty secret ? I found Cupid to be more of a Pyschological Romantic Suspense rather than Dark Erotica - in a way it resembled more of MJ Rose's The Butterfield Institute series rather than CJ Robert's Captive in the Dark series. I am looking forward to the next book in this series and more of Jady Eby/Kenya Wright books.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
