Truly Trendy - Wicked Passion Review

Truly Trendy

REVIEW: Wicked Passion is a suspenseful romantic read that is sure to sweep you off your feet with twists and turns around every corner and heated passion that is so hot you will need oven mitts to turn the pages. Wicked Passion is the perfect summer romance. 
Description:

James Stonewoll is an Elite Assassin for the Under Realm Syndicate—an expert hunter and merciless killer. As a former pirate, he thrives on danger, the more perilous the mission, the better and he can't resist his newest contract: eliminate a rebel shape-shifting magic thief that stalks the border of the Under Realm kidnapping and murdering innocent Others. But never did the centuries old vampire anticipate playing hero to a mythical temptress with luscious curves, tantalizing lips, and hypnotic eyes. 
Captured and held prisoner, Katya Moro was trapped in a seemingly endless loop of unimaginable agony as her magic was slowly being torn from her soul. A gasp away from death, she is rescued by a sinful kiss and awakens in the strong arms of a powerful warrior whose roguish smile, sharp fangs, and intense strength unlock dormant instincts within her, an all-consuming madness that demands complete surrender.

       Gazing down at her, James knew he had to kill her. Dark Magic Wielders, like the beautiful female he’d found, were a grave threat to human society and were not permitted to roam the mortal world. But Katya’s smoky voice and sweet kisses stir a fierce hunger inside him. She is unpredictable, uncontrollable and wickedly seductive—his perfect kind of dangerous. To keep her safe, James will protect her from the magic thieves that hunt her and his fellow assassins until he can find a way to return Katya to her home in the Under Realm.
          Can Katya’s passion conquer the darkness within his soul?

 Teaser Tuesday: Wicked Passion 

(Under Realm Assassins #3)

~Her senses went wild, her magic weaved around him, but she found…nothing. He was guarded. His power immense, but shielded. His emotions unreadable, but he bared his passion, his desire. Bright, hot, and pure it burned her. Dear lady, he was glorious. An indulgence for any woman lucky enough to meet his acquaintance, but for a succubus he was a feast. Power and strength flowed from him and crashed over her, through her. She had to taste it, to claim it, to know…

James’s gaze fell to her mouth. She felt the tremor of anticipation shake his tense frame. Could he feel the pull? Did he sense her need? Her hunger?

“Katya?”

Asking for permission? She slowly licked her lips, drawing a longing groan from her warrior. Yes. He was her warrior. She’d claim him. She’d mark him.~

Review: 5 of 5 Stars

Greene introduces us to a variety of different supernaturals and really develops those that we meet closely in this story. The concept and strength of vampire claiming is apparent to anyone reading and made me fall in love with Cole a little more. She also develops the notion and workings of the assassins in a way that readers can understand it and connect with it. It all worked directly into the plot of the story, one which kept me on my toes, between the suspense and palpable chemistry between the characters. Greene is a visually descriptive author who really brings this all to life in a vivid manner. The well written, polished presentation makes it a joy to read.
I felt for both the main characters in this story from the moment that they were introduced. It wasn’t pity, but rather an emotional connection with them based on what they’d been through. I liked seeing both characters’ perspectives on the goings on. Not only did it add to the character development, but it also added a great deal of fun and heat to the story. The intense chemistry between the characters really drives the story forward.
This novella is fun for Christmas, or at any time of year. Greene has created a unique & unforgettable story for those who love hot supernaturals.
Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.

Wicked Passion (Under Realm Assassins #3)

~“James, yes, please,” she panted, her corset was painfully constricting her sensitive breasts.
“I’ll make you strong,” he vowed then claimed her mouth in a hot, demanding kiss.
Needing to be closer to him, she arched her back and hooked a leg over his hip, his shaft nestling against the heart of her. She rolled her hips and he drowned her whimper with a hungry growl.
James slanted his head to the side and deepened the kiss. He plundered without mercy, stealing her sanity, her control. Wild, she twisted her wrists under his hold. She needed to touch him. She needed to shred his clothing with her claws and feel all that sleek muscle under her
hands.~

Chapters Through Life: Review Caressed by the Edge of Darkness

Chapters Through Life: Review 

Caressed by the Edge of Darkness 

(Rulers of Darkness #5)  

 4.5 stars of 5

Caressed by the edge of darkness is the fifth book in the Rulers of Darkness series. It's my first book by this author and can easily be read as a standalone.
Gabriel wants revenge on his enemies. They took his innocence and darkened his soul. He was beaten, starved and bought to the edge of death. He isn't a good man, in fact, he is a strong vampire and he knows revenge will be sweet. In his quest to bring down his enemies he comes across a human girl who plagues his dreams. For the first time, he finds himself wanting to help someone else.
Jordon is in trouble and that's putting it mildly. She's been drugged and tossed around like dirt. Luckily her innocence has kept her from the fate of her fellow captives. She has no hope of escape and her future is looking worse than her past. She is to be auctioned off to the highest bidder and used for god knows what. She's tried her best to escape, but she needs an angel. Gabriel is set to be her knight in shining armour, but he is no angel. He's king of a vampire clan and lost his heart long ago. He wants to help the girl and stop her fate being similar to his own. One look at Jordan and he's in big trouble. Can he let her go and give her a second chance at life? Maybe it isn't as simple as that. Maybe they can save each other.
Caressed by the edge of darkness is a will they/won't they sexual frustration book with some hot sexy scenes. It has an interesting backstory which will continue in other books from others points of view (I'm guessing). I really enjoyed this book and would happily read others in the series. What makes a king? This book may be fiction, but it's no fairytale. The story will continue, however, this chapter is closed and I was satisfied with the ending.
4.5 stars out of 5. 

 

Caressed by the Edge of Darkness

Hardened by centuries of torture, former blood slave, Gabriel Erhard, is driven by an insatiable need to destroy his enemies. Violence darkens his battered soul, leaving no place for mercy in his world. Gabriel’s only desire is vengeance—until he finds her.

Seized by vampires, bound as a slave, and placed on the auction block, Jordan Culver is instantly entranced by the dangerous male who claims her. Jordan’s new captor vows to set her free, but his haunted gaze burns with savage desire and his wicked kiss makes her crave his touch and...complete surrender.

While Gabriel battles his enemies, he will break every sacred law to achieve his ultimate goal—uniting the Outcast Society and creating a new vampire Clan. But the distracting human with mesmerizing violet eyes jeopardizes his plans. With very soft whisper she evokes his tormented memories, testing his sanity and challenging his every boundary. Can Jordan help him overcome the miseries of his past and find a future with her?

~ With a hard snarl he took her mouth and she opened for him, matching his onslaught stroke for stroke, drugging kiss after drugging kiss. Her tongue teased his fangs, careful not to draw blood. That would come later. He’d never taken from the source, but with her, with Katya, he wouldn’t be able to hold back. Even now the sound of her racing pulse and rushing blood mingled with her sighs and gasps of pleasure were driving him to madness.~
