I never should’ve saved him that day. But now, he’s the one saving me…

Crusher gets under my skin in ways I never could’ve imagined. He’s been relentlessly pursuing me at every turn since the night I snuck out of his bed.

Not that I owe him any kind of explanation, but I had my reasons for leaving. Good ones that include the eleven-year-old boy I’m now solely responsible for.

But none of that matters to the men who’ve taken me. Men who are dead set on revenge for something I had nothing to do with. They want payback against Crusher and the Satan’s Disciples, and what better way to get it than taking someone who belongs to the MC.

Only, I don’t belong to the Disciples and I don’t belong to Crusher. But that won’t do me any good while I try to escape this hellhole I’m currently in.

Maybe help is coming, and maybe it’s not. But I refuse to play the damsel in distress. This isn’t some fairytale, and I’m not waiting for a hot biker on a Harley to rescue me.

No, I’ll take my life into my own hands. And I’ll save my damn self even if I have to fight my way out of here.

CRUSHER is book 4 in the SATAN'S DISCIPLES MC SERIES. This is a love-at-first-sight, obsessed hero, MC romance packed with action and spice, and a badass heroine! Prepare to fall in love with this sexy biker when he sets out on a mission to rescue the only woman he can’t live without.

#BookReview: A Broken Blade (The Halfling Saga #1) by @themelissablair @UnionSqandCo

Synopsis: My body is made of scars,
some were done to me,
but most I did to myself. 
 
Keera is a killer. As the King's Blade, she is the most talented spy in the kingdom. And the king’s favored assassin. When a mysterious figure moves against the Crown, Keera is called upon to hunt down the so-called Shadow. She tracks her target into the magical lands of the Fae, but Faeland is not what it seems . . . and neither is the Shadow. Keera is shocked by what she learns, and can't help but wonder who her enemy truly is: the King that destroyed her people or the Shadow that threatens the peace?
 
As she searches for answers, Keera is haunted by a promise she made long ago, one that will test her in every way. To keep her word, Keera must not only save herself, but an entire kingdom.
 
Fans of fast-paced high fantasy such as A Court of Thorns and Roses series, The Inadequate Heir, and From Blood and Ash author Jennifer L. Armentrout, will enjoy the fierce female characters, sapphic representation, and fantasy romance of A Broken Blade.

#BookReview: That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon (Mead Mishaps #1) by @KimberlyLemming @orbitbooks @lexilikestoread

Synopsis: Spice trader Cinnamon's quiet life is turned upside down when she ends up on a quest with a fiery demon in this irreverently quirky rom-com fantasy that is sweet, steamy, and funny as hell—perfect for fans of  Legends & Lattes  and  The Dragon's Bride. 

All she wanted to do was live her life in peace—maybe get a cat, expand the family spice farm. Really, anything that didn't involve going on an adventure where an orc might rip her face off. But they say the Goddess has favorite, and if so, Cin is clearly not one of them... 

After saving the demon Fallon in a wine-drunk stupor, all Fallon wants to do is kill an evil witch enslaving his people. And, who can blame him? But he's dragging Cinnamon along for the ride. On the bright side, at least he keeps burning off his shirt.

#BookReview: Belladonna (Belladonna #1) by Adalyn Grace

Synopsis: The  New York Times  bestselling author of  All the Stars and Teeth  brings to life a highly romantic, Gothic-infused world of wealth, desire, and betrayal. ​

Orphaned as a baby, nineteen-year-old Signa has been raised by a string of guardians, each one more interested in her wealth than her well-being—and each has met an untimely end. Her remaining relatives are the elusive Hawthornes, an eccentric family living at Thorn Grove, an estate both glittering and gloomy. Its patriarch mourns his late wife through wild parties, while his son grapples for control of the family’s waning reputation, and his daughter suffers from a mysterious illness. But when their mother’s restless spirit appears claiming she was poisoned, Signa realizes that the family she depends on could be in grave danger and enlists the help of a surly stable boy to hunt down the killer.
 
However, Signa’s best chance of uncovering the murderer is an alliance with Death himself, a fascinating, dangerous shadow who has never been far from her side. Though he’s made her life a living hell, Death shows Signa that their growing connection may be more powerful—and more irresistible—than she ever dared imagine.
