Made the Grade: The Man With The Dragon Wings by Lizzie Lynn Lee

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon: Kindle Edition - File Size: 3573 KB | Expected Release Date: October 21, 2015 | Publisher: Self-Published | Obtained: instafreebie

"The Man With The Dragon Wings" by Lizzie Lynn Lee

Author's Book Description : For Emily:

She never would’ve imagined her knight in shining armor is a bounty hunter.
He’s too bastardly wicked to walk only the right side of the law.
Granted, he’s hot and sexy as hell, but when he surrenders to the nature of his beast, he’s more terrifying than a scary monster.
Her brain tells her to run. Her body wants her to stay.
But why does her heart ache when he’s in danger?

For Rovik:

He never believed in love at first sight, and yet, the moment he laid eyes on her, he knows he must have her.
Save her.
She’s a runaway bride and the man she was forced to marry doesn’t deserve her, but will stop at nothing to get her back. Including bringing in the whole clan to take down Rovik.
True mates are real, and he plans to convince her that nothing on earth could stop him from making her his.
Forever…

Author note: This story contains graphic dragon-on-dragon violence, a runaway bride who drives like a homicidal maniac, and a young dragon king who thinks every problem in the world can be solved with an orgasm.

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars! Under unusual circumstances, Emily finds herself a runaway bride even though she was more of a prisoner than anything else and during the same day she runs she meets Rovik, her mate who's a vicious dragon. Though Emily knows about dragons so she isn't scared, the big mystery in this novella is about her past and why the family who held her "prisoner" wants her back so adamantly.

Rovik's version of a take no prisoners everyone who threatens my mate shall die type of romance is interestingly intriguing. Yet, it didn't fully hold my interest up to the very end ... only my curiosity as I skimmed the last few chapters to see how it ended.

Nevertheless, I recommend it for those looking for a unique take on dragon shifter paranormal romances.

Feasted On: Breaking Him by Sherilee Gray

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon: Paperback - Pages: 142; Kindle Edition - File Size: 1207 KB | Expected Release Date: September 5, 2016 | Publisher: Entangled Publishing : Scorched | Obtained: NetGalley

"Breaking Him" by Sherilee Gray

Author's Book Description : Folks in town call him a monster—say he’s dangerous. But I know him simply as Elijah Hays, the quiet, gentle giant who works with the horses on my ranch. I can feel him watching me, that steady intense gaze making me crave things I don’t quite understand, burn in a way that frightens me. He’s always kept his distance…until that night.

I remember him coming to my rescue, me following him into the barn, giving him his first taste of a woman, and his inexperienced yet barely reined touch turning me to ash.

Now all I can think about is exposing the dark desire I see deep inside him—having him turn those dark desires on me. That low, gritty voice rasping orders in my ear. Those huge, rough hands holding me down when a storm blows in.

I want his surrender. His control. I want to break him…and have him break me…

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars! Elijah (Eli) is a hulking handsome man with a dark past, yet he is the one man that makes Abigail (Abi) feel safe no matter what. Therefore, even though it feels like Abigail's world is falling around her ears, when Abigail decides to show Elijah what true affection is and that it's worth it no matter what is going on becomes one of her top priorities. Yet what will happen when the town feels Elijah isn't right for her, will she allow everyone to separate them or will their relationship grow because of it?

This intensely erotic romance instantly wraps you into Abigail and Elijah's world and their growing relationship. In addition, it was so SWEET how Elijah handled Abigail, he's definitely a gentle giant at least when it comes to her. I couldn't get enough, I got addicted to the intensity.

I recommend this novel to those looking for a HOT, passionate erotic contemporary romance.

Authors' Novel Extras : Breaking Him - Overview



Book Teaser(s) :
His brow creased. "Did I make you feel good, darlin'?"
I'd have thought he was joking, if it weren't for his serious expression.
I couldn't help it. I wrapped my fingers around the side of his neck, pulled him down so his face was buried against my throat, and giggled uncontrollably, managing between gasped breaths to get out, "If it'd been any better, I'd be unconscious."
That's when I heard it for the first time, that deep, low sound that cut off my giggles and had my heart growing bigger, so big I didn't know how it was still beating.
Elijah Hays was laughing, and it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever heard. ~ within Chapter 7
