Clouded Hell (Book 1) This book is not a dark romance, though it gets pretty dark at times. Not because of the kinks between the main characters, but simply because of the worlds of organized crime and underground fighting they’re involved with. It’s immediately clear, however, that Remi and Dante are anti-heroes rather than villains, … Continue reading Review: Inferno Series by J. R. Gray

Review: Break My Shell by K.A. Merikan
About halfway through this book, I felt the urge to tweet about it: “When you think you’re gonna read a ridiculous kinky romp and it turns out to be a really sweet, poignant love story instead.” I’ve gotten to the point (due to the sheer amount of reading being done) that I’m no longer officially … Continue reading Review: Break My Shell by K.A. Merikan
Review: The Sharp Edge of Bliss by Sorcha Black
I’m not going to lie: the “alphahole” and hitman mentioned on the back-cover text are what initially drew me to this book. I scanned a few of the reviews, and many of them also seemed to enjoy Star’s character, so that was another contributing factor to why I chose to read it. Ultimately, Black sold … Continue reading Review: The Sharp Edge of Bliss by Sorcha Black
Review: Four Mercenaries Series by K.A. Merikan
Their Bounty (Book 1) I'm a sucker for found family stories, and even though this book is only partially that, it ensured my interest beyond the main plot. Clover is kind of a disaster, but he quickly becomes THEIR disaster despite lots of kicking and screaming on some sides (looking at you, Drake). Despite their … Continue reading Review: Four Mercenaries Series by K.A. Merikan
Review: Escort Series by Sloane Kennedy
Gabriel's Rule (Book 1) I haven't looked at the original publication date to be sure, but I feel that this book is one of the first by this prolific author. The story itself, including the plot and characters, are entertaining. However, the writing style itself includes an inexperienced author's hallmarks, such as mid-scene point-of-view (POV) … Continue reading Review: Escort Series by Sloane Kennedy
Review: Folk Lore Series by K.A. Merikan
Where the Devil Says Goodnight (Book 1) Potential readers should heed the "dark" warning in this book's description because more than a few scenes are not for the faint of heart. Merikan dives deep into Slavic mythology to draw monsters to the surface, both paranormal and utterly human. Adam and Emil pay the price, time … Continue reading Review: Folk Lore Series by K.A.
