Title: My Sweet Bully
Author: Penny Wylder
Genre: Romance
Release Date: 15 May 2020

Summary:

Bully. That’s what I am to her.

It’s not a name I ever expected to be called, but after what she did to me that one awful summer, I’ll wear it with pride. It’s the least I can do after she put my older brother

behind bars.

Prairie Westmin– her face is burned into my mind. And now I have to stare at it every day of our senior year. I want to make her miserable. I know she’s my enemy.

So why am I defending her from others on campus?

I tell myself it’s because she’s MINE. I’m the only one who can bully her. Just me.

That logic is warping the longer I’m around her.

Fury becomes curiosity. Anger becomes passion. Cruelty becomes love.

One kiss and I forget that I’m supposed to hate her to my very core. This woman is beating up my heart and ruling my world.

Am I her bully… or is she mine?

(My Sweet Bully is a full length romance with all the delicious chemistry and tension that only a pair of 18 year olds in high school can bring. Drama, angst, and all the red-hot-love you trust me to write. xoxoxo)

Book Review: Winter’s Arrow by Lexi C. Foss

ByMs Ali Cat: Ali Crean | On May 14,20 | 0 Comment

Title: Winter’s Arrow (X-Clan Sector #3)
Author: Lexi C. Foss
Genre: Omegaverse, Paranormal
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG! Amirite?

Snow Frost is heir to the Winter Sector throne. Adopted daughter to the Queen of Mirrors, Vanessa, who is plotting against her and the kingdom, in a power move to end all power moves because bey-otches be bey-otches, yo!

This is my favorite X-Clan story so far. Ander Cain was a mean dope, IMO–he made me cry for an entire chapter. Elias is totally my WILF, and now Lexi C. Foss gave me another name to add to the WILF list in Sven Mickelson–who is getting his own book next in the series, Bariloche Sector. Swoon, I tell you. SWOON!

But Kazek Flor is my wolf, and he won’t be to everyone’s taste, but he’s tasty as all heckfire to me.

Winter’s Arrow is a retelling of Sleeping beauty omegaverse-style. Snow Frost is a Beta princess promised to the Alpha Enrique from the Bariloche Sector in an alliance mating devised by the Queen of Mirrors. Only Snow finds that there is something far sinister awaiting her on her wedding night. Feeling reckless, she gets a little mouthy with Alpha Kazek from the Norse Sector; instead of punishing her, he finds her tempting. And fate and Snow’s miscalculations land her at his feet when she attempts to escape. Only this is ain’t no fairytale.

Kazek is more smexy growl than bitter poisoned bite compared to Ander Cain, who was a bunch of emotional rocks (Sorry, Lexi C. Foss). Kaz’s brutal in many ways I can embrace, but Kaz lacks the prideful callousness that made me angry about a lot of what happened in Andorra Sector. I would say that Kaz is Ander done correctly (Sorry, Lexi C. Foss).

If I had to scour the book for a complaint, I would say that I wish the Snow’s/Winter’s Seven weren’t so similar. Overall they had little character development. They also had very little part in the story, and they were easy to confuse for one another other than Grum, who was part of the plot.

I loved Winter’s Arrow, and I can’t wait for Sven and Kari’s book!

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary advance copy of this book.

Book Review: Sweet Chaos by Emery Rose

Title: Sweet Chaos (Love and Chaos #2)
Author: Emery Rose
Genre: Contemporary
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well, this book gets an extra star for setting me off on a Pearl Jam binge that hasn’t ended in days.

This book is sexy looking.
This book is sexy reading.
This book is sexy inside and out.

I’m from San Diego, and this book is such a devilish homage that it tickles me to review it.

Dylan St. Clair grew up never having much of any value to anyone other than his twin Remy. That is until he grew into his pretty and sexy phase, and rich trophy wives and rebellious daughters found a purpose for him. It’s easy getting lost to demons when they are the only thing that looks back at you in the mirror, and no one recognizes you for who you are anyway. At least it was like that for Dylan until an eleven-year-old girl scared him straight while he was attempting to sneak into her sister’s bedroom window. Scarlet Woods saw a broken boy when everyone else saw a tool.

Title: The Secrets We Hide (The Four #2)
Author: Becca Steele
Genre: Dark College Stepbrother Romance
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Ever walk into a conversation you’ve heard before but needed a reminder about the story to get caught up about the deets? The Secrets We Hide has perfect continuity; you should read The Lies We Tell right before it. I didn’t and had to go back and read the last two chapters of TLWT for the refresher.

Don’t be me.

Welcome back to the topsy-turvy underbelly world of Alstone, where money and power are the only real things of worth. The Four and Winter are still trying to uncover what happened to Winter’s father and the shady goings-on that lead Winter to the docks at the end of book one. Alstone Holdings does have a rat in the house. The saying goes, ‘where there is one; there are many.’ The Secrets We Hide has them coming out of the woodwork.

Book Review: A Love Song For Liars by Piper Lawson

ByMs Ali Cat: Ali Crean | On April 30,20 | 0 Comment

Title: A Love Song for Liars (Rivals #1)
Author: Piper Lawson
Genre: Rock Romance
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Schooled from the Travesty series is a favorite, so I’m a fan. I haven’t read outside the Travesty series, though, so I’m an ill-educated one. And this series, Rivals, is a spin-off from a previous one entitled Wicked–now you’re caught up.

There is nothing more fickle than a musician’s heart. They write love songs about everything from loving lovers to adoring jams and jellies, and at the end of the day, they have the flagrant disregard for tossing out hearts and empty jars without thought for the vessels. Annie knows this despite a rocker dad with a happily-ever-after. Musicians can’t be trusted, and the most untrustworthy is the owner of her heart and keeper of her secrets, ex-bestie and current-worstie, Tyler Adams. He tossed her aside, and she is determined to stay there.

But rockers and former besties, protectors, and kiss-stealers all have one thing in common: a wrap sheet for stringing Annie along and leaving her heartbroken.

Title: Lucifer’s Emblem (Celestial Academy #1)
Author: Sarah Biglow & Molly Zenk
Genre: Urban Fantasy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is excellent for fans of Cassie Clare, and that is saying a ton.

Zuri bat-Lucifer is as content hanging out with her friend Damien in Hell as she is shopping in NYC. Her doting dad has had a bad wrap; he’s made sure she is well rounded, capable, and happy–and he knows that giving her a touch of the human life her mother once had is essential. Still, it has also fostered the natural mischief in Zuri’s soul, and now she is on a quest to recover a priceless angelic relic to her father’s collection before he notices it’s gone, and all Hell breaks loose. LITERALLY.
