Review: Billionaire Bad Boys of Romance Boxed Set - Selena Kitt

Billionaire Bad Boys of Romance Boxed Set by Selena Kitt Stacey's rating: 4 of 5 stars Ten short stories at one great price. It turned out to be a great way to read stories from authors, some I hadn't heard of. Although not every story was my cup of tea, there are plenty to appeal to all. It's crappy when you buy books that sound good but once purchased; you regret spending the money and time reading it. Even if is it a cheap book, it adds up when looking for a book you can sink into. This Book Bundle is so worth the money! If you you don't like a story, just go onto another one. There are plenty of stories to choose from and one of the hot alpha males is sure to please. The Billionaires Muse This was the opening book of the collection, and although I did enjoy it, I will admit I expected a little more for the first book. The leads in this, I found difficult to connect with; however, the story itself was intriguing and seeing the relationship unfold between the...

Review: Carmen's New York Romance Trilogy - Nikki Sex

Carmen's New York Romance Trilogy by Nikki Sex Reviewer: Stacey Rating: 4.5 Fairies Another OMG! I've read dom and sub books before...but the sex scenes in this book are fantastic. Carmen's story is a complex one in which I feel the writer wrote beautifully. The emotion and self hate the main character feels and works through, often to an emotional overload, is fabulously developed. The author allows the character to see she is still capable of love... Kurt comes into her life at a difficult time for them both, and together, they embrace themselves wholeheartedly and forge a bond unbreakable and durable to the very last breath! I myself nearly climaxed a few times with the descriptive sex scenes.... I was totally absorbed in the moments.... With drugs, abuse, theft, and the law. This is a very very exciting and captivating read. I could not put it down! Another writer to my "must read lists"!

Review: Limerence - Claire C Riley

Reviewer: Stacey Rating: 5 out of 5 Fairies Claire Riley doesn't leave a single detail out in Limerence! Even if your preference isn't vampire novels, this book appeals to romance and fantasy readers too! By moving the narrative voice between Mia and Breckt (and occasionally some other characters too), Riley creates a compelling cast and a dark, twisted narrative. We're forced to care for Mia because of what we know (and what she doesn't). We watch as our heroine, Mia, who is desperately in love with her fiancé Oliver, fights the compulsion and attraction to one of the most beautiful and seductive men she has ever met. Mia's struggles with a pull to a man that she can't explain. And Breckt...well, I'm glad that I didn't like something about him (just couldn't put my finger on it).  Riley's vampire is more like the devil himself. He's into the physical and mental torture and uncomfortable sexuality that most people forget about whe...

Tour Review: Blind Dating - Kerry Taylor

Reviewer: Stacey Rating: 4 out of 5 Fairies This is a romantic comedy novella that made me chuckle to myself. Blind Dating is a story about a divorced mum of three, who thinks her life is boring, dull; she even believes her own mum has more fun than she does. After marrying a man who cheated before they said their marriage vows, Kimberley should have known life wasn't going to be all sweet and smelling of roses! After years in a non loving marriage, divorce came with no heartache what so ever. With three kids who think their mum needs more fun in her life and even more so...a man, Kimberley decides to take control of her life, to take the bull by the horns and make her life better. I'm 38 and I kept thinking, poor lass! What would I do in that situation? I started to feel for her and willed her to "get a life" and take that first step to happiness. There were certain parts in this book that I wanted to shout at Kimberley, but luckily for me, her baby sister...

Review: Alice Parker's Metamorphosis - Nicola Palmer

Reviewer: Stacey Rating: 5 out of 5 Fairies I must start by saying that when I was asked to read and review this book I was like "This is a kids book!" Yes, I love paranormal/fantasy books, but I am picky when it comes to choosing what I read. I like to have a connection with the characters and allow them to take me on the journey with them, so admittedly I was apprehensive about reading this...then I started reading and everything I've just said...I take back! This book wasn't only well written, it was executed brilliantly. The characters made the plot explosive, but better than that, believable! So well done, Nicola Palmer, you've converted me! The story was thrilling and mystical with just enough suspense to keep you wanting more! Alice is a 13 year old girl (that I instantly wanted to befriend) I wanted to join in the adventure (and this was at the beginning of the book.) Her friend, Sarah and brother, Thomas were along for the ride too. Alice...

Review: The Unfaithful Widow by J.S. Wilsoncroft

Reviewer: Stacey Rating: 5 out of 5 Fairies I found The Unfaithful Widow to be a fantastic romance novel with twists and turns at every corner. Already struggling to adjust to the reality of becoming a widow, Tess discovers her late husband had been keeping an unimaginable secret. After all of the heartache and heartbreak, anger and revenge are all that is on her mind...but how can you stop your heart hurting when this secret isn't going to go away? A best friend that won't take no for an answer persuades her that one night out to forget everything is all she needs. She see's him, a man hotter than hot, girls throwing themselves at him, French words spoken, heat rising where it never has before...could he be the one to make Tess forget her problems, or will he be the start of more? Does Prince Charming really exist and are Happy-Ever-Afters real? Jamie's writing sent me on a roller coaster of a ride that sent my emotions souring. I felt all of Tess'...

Review: Daughter of Night by Kelley Heckart

Reviewer: Stacey Rating: 4 out of 5 Fairies Daughter of Night is a fantastic tale depicting the story of a Vengeance Goddess sent by her master to find the whereabouts of Star Metal, a rare metal which is the only one in the world able to defeat the Gods. Arriving in Knossos posing as a slave, Becuille, the Vengeance Goddess, must find the precious metal and find and kill the only other person who knows of it's existence. But as Becuille begins her mission, she is welcomed into the Royal Family by all, and even falls for one of the Princes.  Can Becuille betray her new family? And how will the Royals react when they discover her true intentions?  Becuille battles through loneliness, love, betrayal and distrust and finds herself facing the worst feeling in the world- grief. Initially, this book was very hard to get into. With unusual names for everyone and everything, it started out as being a chore to read. Once you get used to the writing style though, the sto...

Review: Remembering Zane by J.S. Wilsoncroft

Reviewer: Stacey Rating: 5 out of 5 Fairies J.S. Wilsoncroft's short story, Remembering Zane, made me want to jump into the story with the characters. From the moment I picked this book up, I couldn't put it down. I felt all of Bonnie's highs and lows. I just wished it had been a novel, rather than a short story. Bonnie met the love of her life at the age of ten. Zane was the apple of her eye, her everything, the man she was going to spend the rest of her life with, marriage and children...the perfect life. But all of a sudden Zane is killed in a tragic accident. Bonnie's feels like her life is over; she will never be able to replace him or fill the void in her heart. A face from the past, Zane's best friend Johnathon walks back into her life, but not the goofy braced faced boy she remembered; he is now a man and a hunk of a man. Holding a secret he has kept for fifteen years, Johnathon feels now is the time he should share. Will this secret help...

Review: The Orb of Truth - Brea Wycyoff

Reviewer: Stacey  Rating: 4 out of 5 Fairies Well...to be perfectly honest, this is not the kind of book I would pick up at the bookstore and choose to take home. But, after saying that I was very surprised! Brea Wycyoff captured me (in a bazaar way) with this fantasy with a magical twist. The characters range from Wizards, to Dragons, to Halflings and Dwarfs, and that's only mentioning a few! The book entices you and draws you into it's magical world and I lost myself in there a few times. There are times when you feel the heartache and the losses, and then in your next breath, you are on the edge of your seat lost in the action. The story as a whole is about two Ordiakains and a Dwarf who must embark on one hell of a journey, along with followers who become friends. My favourite character is Dulgin as he is just like me (I am not embarrassed to say so). He allows his mouth to run off without thinking; he will fight tooth and nail for his famil...
