Darkest Destiny by Pepper Winters Kindle Crack Review


Synopsis

For twenty years, Lucien Ashfall has been caged by the very men who profit from his blood.


He’s dangerous, uncontrollable, and deadly.


He’s also the only one carrying his bloodline and they need another.


Every six months, thirty girls are sent into his prison and tasked with one goal: Make him create an heir by any means necessary.


But everyone who goes in, never comes out.


Until Rook Snowdon is thrown into Cinderkeep by mistake.


She isn’t a seductress.


And she certainly isn’t there to save anyone.


In fact, she only has three goals in life:


One, hide her true identity for as long as possible.

Two, nap and self-medicate with wine.

Three (and most problematic) ignore the fact that stress is slowly killing her.


Lucien only has one goal: escape and burn everything to the ground.


Unfortunately, everyone has their secrets and these two have many.


They just don’t know it yet.


Because she might be the key to getting him free.


But if he gets out, it’s not the world that will burn.


It’s him.

Spoiler-free Review of Darkest Destiny

Darkest DestinyDarkest Destiny by Pepper Winters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Darkest Destiny by Pepper Winters is the first book in the Darkest Destiny Trilogy, and as always, Pepper did not disappoint. Rook and Lucien’s dark, seductive story had me hooked from the very first page straight through to the last.

Pepper’s signature addictive writing style shines in this dark, bloody “spa trip gone wrong” adventure. The tension between sweet, resilient Rook and tortured, dangerous Lucien is absolutely palpable. I won’t regurgitate the synopsis—just go in blind. Trust me.

What truly pulled me in, though, were the characters themselves. Rook is achingly sweet, strong, and impossible not to root for. Lucien is unpredictable, dangerous, and dripping in morally gray energy. Their connection unfolds amid kidnapping, survival, and a brutal fight to endure everything Cinderkeep demands of them, and I just need more.

This book ends on a hot, wicked cliffhanger, and I cannot wait to dive into Burning Blood when it releases in the next month or so. One-click worthy.

I Thought Of You by Jewel E. Ann ebook Kindle Crack

Synopsis:

I wanted to conquer the world.

She wanted to gaze at the stars.

It’s been twelve years since I last saw Scottie Rucker. A grim prognosis has upended my life, and no amount of my hard-earned money can fix it. So, after leaving a note on the nightstand, I search for my first love—I search for life.

When I find her in Austin, working at a quaint general store and living in an RV behind it, those twelve years vanish. She’s exactly how I remember her.

Scottie thinks our reunion is a small-world coincidence, and I’m not ready to tell her the truth. After we rekindle our friendship, she convinces me to work part-time at the store while she pursues her budding relationship with Koen, a welder and the grandson of a customer.

Scottie’s ability to live in the moment is exactly what I need. But how do I convince her new boyfriend that I’m not his competition? And what happens if my heart changes its mind?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

You need to grab a box of tissues and one-click I Thought of You by Jewel E.Ann. I Thought of You literally shredded my heart and then pieced it back together at the end. 

I Thought of You hit home for me on so many levels. This unique, heartbreakingly beautiful story of love, loss, and friendship sucker-punched me in the feels.

Synopsis: 

I made the worst mistake of my life when I was twenty-two.

I let love and fear destroy everything I ever wanted, and now I have a choice to make.

Run and hide, or stay and face the consequences.

I'd always known I wasn't allowed to love her.

I'd always accepted that I wasn't allowed to keep her.

But that didn't stop me.

I broke every rule and choked on every secret to have her.

The only problem is, those secrets aren't just hunting me anymore, they've found me.

I can't run.

I can't hide.

For a moment, I had it all. I had all my dreams and the girl I would kill for.

But now, I have to pay the price.

I have to pay...

And I won't survive.

A true coming-of-age story that spans a lifetime. This book deals with heavy subjects and is advised you check the Content Warnings on the Author's website.



SPOILER-FREE REVIEW: 


Cor Amare (Luna Duet, #2)Cor Amare by Pepper Winters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After reading Cor Amare (Luna Duet # 2), I have one question:  Pepper Winters, what did you do to my heart? I have been sitting here for a few weeks agonizing over writing my review, thinking about how I can do it justice when I'm still grappling with an emotional book hangover? Cor Amare was breathtaking. I'm lost in a sea of emotions after reading the conclusion of Aslan and Neri's dark and beautiful journey. Pepper's writing is nothing short of extraordinary, and I'm in awe of her skillful storytelling. The elegance of her prose and the finesse with which she weaves intricate emotions into the narrative deserve nothing less than a chef's kiss of admiration. Breathtaking, haunting, and profound, Cor Amare and Lunamare are on my Best of 2023 list.

The Game by Vi Keeland on Kindle Crack

Title: The Game

Author: Vi Keeland

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Release Date: January 16, 2023


BLURB


It started out like any other Tuesday.


I spent twelve hours writing algorithms for one of the largest companies in the world and then came home to work on a pet project of mine—feeding facts about the men I knew into a formula to find my perfect match before my twenties came barreling to a close.


But then a man knocked on my door and handed me some papers that turned my life upside down.


Apparently, a father I never knew existed had left me something in his will. That something turned out to be part ownership in a professional football team.


Next thing I knew, I was learning a sport I knew nothing about by spending time with the team’s quarterback who was out with an injury, a man who my formula would definitely determine was all wrong for me.   


Christian Knox was too handsome and confident for his own good and could have any woman he wanted.  Only lately the only woman he seemed to want was me. 


But there was no way I was getting involved when I was now his boss, even if he was insanely 

gorgeous and had the dirtiest mouth I’d ever come across.


It would be wrong, wouldn’t it?


Probably. But you know what they say about things that are wrong...sometimes they feel so right.

Spoiler-free Review of The Game

The GameThe Game by Vi Keeland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Every time I start a new book by Vi Keeland, it feels like I’m unwrapping a holiday gift from my favorite person. Reading this book was one of those occasions. I read The Game in early December, and I’m still thinking about this book a month later. Christian and Bella are everything! This book is filled with delicious chemistry, Vi’s signature witty banter, and the perfect amount of heart and heat.   It is unputdownable. I literally binge-read this book. I didn’t have a choice because I couldn’t put it down! The Game is another winner from Vi. Get your head in The Game when it releases on 1/16. All the stars!
