MY CONTROLLING SHEIKH

8/26/2021

Picture
What if Cinderella’s prince was a tall, dark, and handsome sheikh...and he was anything but charming?

I used to be an ordinary small-town girl, a curvy eighteen-year-old who worked countless hours after school just to make things meet. I didn't even have time to date, much less a chance to have my first kiss.
But then my mother married the king and my life changed forever.
Sheikh Khal, the king's heir, now has total control of my life.
Everyone thinks he's a dream come true.
Gorgeous. Courageous. Kind.
With me, however, he's nothing but a domineering jerk.
I hated him, and I thought he hated me back…until the sheikh showed me hate was just another form of love.

Note: This STANDALONE romance is STEAMY and OVER THE TOP. It features a curvy heroine and a possessive, jealous hero. A QUICK, FUN READ that's perfect for those wanting to temporarily forget real-life problems. This new edition also includes an extended epilogue featuring the next sheikh to fall in love.

Other themes: age gap romance, older man romance, enemies to lovers romance, new adult romance

I couldn’t breathe, could only look down at the table as the sheikh started stroking a tiny nub of flesh between my legs. I knew about it, of course, but I had never tried to touch it, hadn’t even known how sensitive it was until now, with the sheikh making me want to scream at each tortuous stroke.
God, I hated that he was so good at this.
“Lady Ella?” It was one of the attendants, and I realized she was unable to serve me the third course until I leaned back on my chair.
The sheikh’s thumb started moving faster.
Oh, oh, oh---
It was all I could do not to shudder as I forced myself to lean back against my chair. The position had my legs parting wider, making me more exposed to the sheikh’s touch.
The attendant bent forward---
The sheikh slid the smallest tip of his finger inside of me.
I gasped.
The attendant froze.
Oh dear God, please go away!
This is a great one day read. Khal and Ella story is a much more smutty rendition of Cinderella. Very enjoyable light reading.

His Forbidden Bride (Malik's Story)

8/24/2021

Picture
She's the only girl I dote on. The only girl I have time for. But fate has also made her the only girl forbidden to me...

Sheikh Malik Al-Atassi could have any girl in the world. But the one he wanted was the girl who had been entrusted to his care---and thus forbidden.
But with his need and desire for her only growing over the years, Sheikh Malik realized the only way out was to push her away for good...by finding someone else.
When reading the summary, I can tell it will be a childhood love story but having the story being told my Malik most of the time makes it a great book. There are always parts where they are funny and parts that you never get to see from different romance books. I love the different short love story that is also part of this book. I also love that the entire royal family knows that they were meant for each other and don't care about while the world doesn't think like the old days just because these two were raised like family and look like family from the outside.
​- Amazon 5-star review
Metal clashed against metal as the sheikhs skillfully wielded their swords to parry the attacks endlessly launched against them. Sword fighting was a traditional skill that Ramilian royals were expected to master, but more than that, their instructors wanted to forge the foundation of teamwork among the five young sheikhs. There would come a day when Khalil became king and the four his vassals; it was critical that their trust in each other prove as unassailable as the kingdom’s tallest mountains the moment Khalil took the throne.
“Rayyan, now!” The command came from Khalil, and his blue-eyed cousin whirled around, taking the opponents behind him by surprise. His sword came into contact with the soldiers’ vest, and the pair immediately bowed out of the fight.
Ten more minutes passed, and their enemies – which had started at a mere number of thirty – were now down to ten. Khalil’s gaze scanned his surroundings like surveying a battlefield and wasted no time making his decision. “Cover for Malik.” In war, every second was vital. “Now!”
He and the others cleared the path for their youngest brother in blood---
One by one, their opponents fell to the ground and tapped out of the fight.
That was to be expected.
But the manner in which Malik executed their strategy was not, and it had everyone in the fighting hall silent and stunned, the other sheikhs included. The speed with which Malik delivered his attack, the daredevil risks he was taking, the barely leashed violence in every strike of his sword---
When Malik suddenly swung to face them, the four sheikhs involuntarily tensed, their hands poised above the swords they had already sheathed. Malik stared at them, breathing hard, and the four sheikhs looked back at him. All of them shared the same unspoken and utterly discomfiting thought.
Had jealousy turned Malik batshit crazy?
Sanity gradually returned to Malik, and he said tightly, “I’m okay.”
The four continued to look at him. Malik might think he was okay, only he looked anything but. Right now, their youngest brother looked no different from a beast about to go on a rampage.
“I’ve been thinking,” Malik muttered. “What do you think of attending Kyrillos Gazis’ weekend cruise?”
It was midnight by the time the royal helicopters carrying the five sheikhs landed on the yacht’s helipad, and as soon as they descended, several long-legged beauties in uniform moved forward to welcome them with sexy smiles and non-alcoholic cocktails. That the staff knew better than to offer the sheikhs liquor was testament to their employer’s exacting standards on hospitality, and even Rayyan was grudgingly impressed. “Smart move.” As the kingdom’s future head of finance, he had to acknowledge the subtle excellence of their host’s marketing strategy. With just a simple act of service, the Greek billionaire had let his young guests know that he was the man to consider when it came to business ventures in the recreational industry.
“Careful, brother,” Tarif said with a smirk as they went to join the other guests in the yacht’s upper deck. “The euros in your eyes are starting to shine.”
His cousin only shrugged. “Fucking bimbos can only keep me entertained for so long.” Making money was his favorite pastime, and he saw no shame in it. “Besides---” His knowing gaze slid to their youngest cousin. “I’m determined to make the most out of this emergency trip.”
Malik frowned when he saw that the other sheikhs were looking at him. “What?”
“Feeling better now?” Altair asked politely.
He started to ask what the hell Altair meant when he saw their cousins turn to him again, their expressions guarded, and in a flash, he realized that they had all seen through him. No wonder they had been so quick to accept his invitation to attend Kyrillos Gazis’ party.
As they had willingly flown out of Ramil to keep him company, Malik knew he owed them the truth at the very least. Shaking his head, he heard himself say flatly, “No.” His lips twisted. “I don’t feel better. I still feel fucked, and it’s been so long that I can no longer remember what normal feels like.”
A pained expression crossed Tarif’s face. “That bad, eh?” He tried imagining himself in Malik’s shoes. How would it feel if the young girl he had forbidden feelings for were about to go to prom with another boy? He supposed he would want to smash his fist into the boy’s face---
Tarif glanced at his cousin, and the harsh lines of ill-suppressed violence outlining Malik’s face told him that was exactly what the other sheikh was feeling. And probably more than that, too, Tarif thought, discomfited. The truth was, the word ‘love’ had no meaning for him beyond the filial sense. He could try to imagine how Malik was feeling, but he knew no matter what his imagination was able to conjure---
It would be nothing like whatever Malik was feeling and had been struggling with for years.
“Why don’t you just marry her?” he asked finally. “In the eyes of our law, sixteen is of marriageable age as long as you have the parents’ consent---”
“Even if my own mother were to agree,” Malik said flatly, “I wouldn’t want to do that to her.”
“Eighteen then?” Khalil suggested pragmatically.
Malik shook his head. “She’d still be too young---”
“She’ll always be too young, Malik,” Rayyan pointed out. “You’re ten years older. No matter how much time passes, that will never change.”
“I just can’t do that to her,” Malik gritted out under his breath. “Okay?” His dark gaze swung to his brother. “You at least understand that, don’t you?”
“I’m damned if I do, damned if I don’t.” Altair loathed seeing his younger brother suffer, but since Kyria was also his sister, he couldn’t help agreeing with what Malik was saying. Eighteen was still too young, but…how much waiting should Malik condemn himself to?
Looking at Malik, he said with a shake of his head, “You’ve always had a knack for making trouble, but this…” Sardonic humor flashed in Altair’s eyes. “I have to hand it to you, Malik. You could have any girl in the world throw herself at your feet, and yet you just had to pick the one girl you can’t have.”
Malik raised his glass in a mock toast, saying, “And since the five of us are supposedly bound by the same fate, may all of us want the girl we can never have.”
Everyone sputtered and cursed as they realized what they were toasting to, none of them taking it lightly since there was a Ramilian myth about a king and his four vassals that revolved around the five men sharing the same fate.

MISSING: VAMPIRE LOVER

Some girls play around while their boyfriend's away. Others cry. Me? I just hunt down ghosts and demons while waiting for my vampire Master to come back. Welcome to my life.

Twenty-something Zari Baltimore is the new girl once again, this time in the New York branch of Agenthia Nu Exista, which translates to The Agency That Does Not Exist.
AGNEX is known throughout the world as one of the best demon trapping agencies, and it's also for that reason that most other trappers hate Zari's guts.
Because the Master she loves and has been, well, ghosting her for four years?
He's half-demon... so yeah, can you spell conflict of interest?
I loved this story. I always enjoy reading about a strong female character. This book and all the others in this Soul Seer series have been wonderful.

LUSCIOUSLY DIVINE: SUB ROSA SECRET SOCIETY #2

8/23/2021

I belong to a beast that's a Greek god in disguise, but why do my lips still tingle when they taste the kiss of my beautiful but cruel professor?

****
I used to look down on girls who find themselves trapped in love triangles...but karma has the last laugh when I seem to end up loving two men at the same time.

O Bella of Forks, a little help, please. I'm scared I'm doomed to hurt one of them, but a magical spell proves otherwise.

And the only one who ends up crying is me.

Note: This book ends with a (not-painful) cliffhanger, but if you are familiar with the myth of Cupid and Psyche, which this series is a loose adaptation of, then you'll know that they'll once again live happily ever after in the next book. This book also comes with a (romantic) mystery to solve.

Billionaire rancher, secret lover

8/22/2021

Picture
When Kady's gorgeous boss offered to act as her fake boyfriend, she had a feeling the whole thing would only be more trouble than it was worth. And she was right.​
In the small Wyoming town he calls his second home, billionaire Slade Wyndham trades his thousand-dollar suits for aprons and jeans, and instead of wheeling and dealing in the boardroom, he's manning the counter at Redwood Cafe and whipping up the best latte art in town.
It's a (seasonal) role Slade's come to enjoy, but when quiet little mouse Kady applies as a part-time waitress, the tycoon finds himself adding a new job title to his résumé: fake boyfriend, with Slade feeling strangely protective (and possessive) when he chances upon Kady's ex trying to make trouble.
As the secret tycoon and Kady gradually grow closer in more ways than one, all signs should've pointed to a happy-ever-after ending...until the billionaire realizes the lines between fact and fiction have started to blur a little too much.
Kady's looking at him like he's Prince Charming...even when Slade never pretended to be anything but a villain who only wants her for her body.

Note: Fans of Diana Palmer and Margaret Way are likely to enjoy this over the top standalone romance.
I'm....butt.....you...lol so cute.

Great start to a new series. Bit short on some details in the beginning as in leading into the new character. Kady,'s character is hilarious...sweet, caring, nervous and none the wiser around the riches. I could see myself in her clumsiness and blushes. But Slade.....the description is my dream come true. He wasn't made out to be as big a monster as some of her previous books and I'm grateful for that. I have read all of the author's books. This one is my new favourite I could read over again.
