Step into the light and let the darkness swallow you whole... Asteria’s life has been sent into chaos. With the truth of who she is revealed, she must reckon with what her future now brings. Unsure if that future should include the man who fate chose for her, but who hadn't chosen her, she soon finds even greater challenges awaiting them. She must quickly learn to control her new powers, but unfortunately, control is the one thing that has always alluded her, and the stakes are now higher than ever. Calix has waited over four hundred years for his mate, and while he always knew finding her would be far from straightforward, he never expected these circumstances. With one kingdom clamoring for their prophesied queen, and another for their gods' chosen heir, they find themselves stuck between two kingdoms, with the threat of being torn apart just as they’ve found one another. Everything hangs in the balance as the continent teeters on the line of chaos. With Cyrus’s plans put into action for his foul blood magic, Dusk and Night prepare for war, as rebellion finally begins to stir outside the shadows of Night. As prophecies converge and the seer speaks, the gods’ message comes through loud and clear—and one does not deny the gods. The balance shifts, chaos thrives, and a war long foretold erupts, ensuring that the world as Asteria knew it, will never be the same… Of Light and Freedom is the second book in a compelling new adult romantic fantasy series featuring contrasting light and dark love interests and the delicate line of balance and chaos for a magical land. Plus Fae shifters, court intrigue, slavery rebellion, a shadow daddy love interest who can shift into a dragon, and a heroine finding her own power and fighting for what she believes in.

BLURB

Xenon:
I’m the tech expert for my motorcycle club.
It’s because of me that we’ve interrupted the trafficking ring in Nevada.
I have cameras in multiple cities, and I’m always watching.
But the long, lonely nights have taken a toll.
When I find an online game and a new friend, all that begins to change.
GivemeGracexx411 has the sexiest voice I’ve ever heard.
It’s not long before we’re chatting outside our nightly games.
And now she wants to meet.

I’ve always been a geek and gamer; it shocks people when they find out.
Maybe it’s all the dark ink on my body or the fact that I put so many hours in the gym.
I don’t look anything like my profile pic, and that’s intentional.
The internet is forever. Nothing can hide for long.
I don’t know if I want Grace to know the biker half of my life.
But one night, she forgets to log off her computer and shut down the camera.

And that’s when I meet Grace’s other persona, Dolly.
I can’t stop watching as she strips, parts her thighs, and begins a whole different game with her viewers.
They get to watch her up close on her laptop. But I get to see every part of her.
In an instant, I’m addicted. I need more.
But when she finds the camera on her computer still running, she shuts me out.

Cat and Mouse is my favorite game.
I’ve always been good at stalking my prey.
And now Grace is my sweet, scared little mouse.
I do love it when she decides to run.
But what I thought is a tease meant to entice me is really a setup to catch an entirely different group of voyeurs.
And those sex traffickers who can’t get enough of underage girls?
They think they can snatch what’s mine.
I’ll do anything to save Grace.
As I race against the clock to rescue her, I know I won’t be capable of showing mercy.
My Reaper is ready to spill blood and bring justice before he claims my Dolly.
She doesn’t know it yet, but Grace will be all sinfully mine.

Sinfully Mine can be read as a standalone, but the series is best enjoyed when read in order since ongoing storylines and characters appear throughout and overlap. There are steamy scenes, biker slang, violence, human trafficking, a slight age gap, a paranormal REAPER twist, and a HEA. You'll find a wild, street-smart woman and a possessive, voyeuristic protector who clash, combust, and nearly set the world (or your kindle) on fire.

#AudioBookTour: Heir Of The Beast (Fairy Godmother Inc. #1) by @f.r.black @rrbooktours

Heir Of The Beast: Fairy Godmother Inc. Series - Book 1

Publication Date: January 6 2025

Genre: Romantic Fantasy/ Spicy Fairytales

Narrators: Alexa Borys and E.M Wylde

Touch Her and πŸ’€
Morally Gray Male Characters
Enemies-to-Lovers
Spicy Fairytales

“All you must do is sign on the dotted line, and all your romantic dreams will come true,” the Fairy Godmother says with a twinkle in her eye.

This is what happens when you do not read the fine print in a very detailed contract. You miss all the things that are immediate deal breakers.

Viola, a proud resident of New Orleans, lives on the top floor of an old Victorian mansion on a very normal street. But normal is no longer a word she can use to describe her life since signing the official contract of Fairy Godmother Inc. They forgot to tell her that she would be competing against other women in a very dangerous game. A game where she would be thrust into an alien world for the mere hope of catching the dashing Prince’s heart.

And let me say this: this prince is one hot alpha male with a serious attitude problem. We do not get along, save for the fact that he can turn my insides to mush with one look. But the silver lining here is that you can have a happily-ever-after if you survive. You can’t fall in love if you’re dead. It tends to spoil the romance.
