A Union Under Siege…

With my father undercover and my brother on the run, I’m left to save our family from a brutal enemy who will stop at nothing to bring us down. The struggle to keep the Accetti empire afloat becomes more complicated than any of us thought.

I don’t have time for distractions but when a stunning stranger crosses my path, I unleash my dark desires on her not realizing she’s more trouble than she’s worth. She begs for my help to save her brother, so I grant it with the understanding that it’s going to cost her — more than she could ever imagine. She belongs to me now but what will holding her captive cost me?

The more time I spend with her, the more convoluted our arrangement becomes, especially when a dangerous adversary seeks revenge. She has the power to blow my world apart… if I let her. Releasing her may be the safest move but will it be the right one in my unforgiving world.

This book contains dark themes that may be disturbing to some readers. Scarred Heir is book 4 in the Cruel Empire Series but can be read as a standalone. The series is set up in three trilogies. You can begin the series with Ruthless Oath.

#BookReview: Ten Thousand Light Years from Okay by @katzndobs Tracy Dobmeier & Wendy Katzman

Synopsis:
A widowed and grieving young novelist believes her words create realities—both tragic and charmed—in a hopeful and surprising novel about family, newfound love, and moving on.

Four years after her husband Sam’s tragic death mirrored a fatal plotline in her debut novel, Thea Packer hasn’t written another word, afraid that what she writes could come true again. Resigned to raising her young daughter in her in-laws’ guesthouse, Thea is on the verge of abandoning her literary career when inspiration strikes.

Her new book is a fairy-tale romance featuring a long-lost astronaut who miraculously returns home to his family, with the hero loosely drawn from Thea’s memories of Sam. Thea considers the fantasy a harmless way to process her grief.

That is, until a charismatic man walks into her life—and he’s an astronaut.

Thea can’t believe it’s happening again. Or is it? Her mother-in-law doesn’t think so—she sees only a woman increasingly detached from reality. Now, as coincidences between Thea’s writing and reality pile up, Thea must unravel the secrets of her past and tackle her grief head-on before she loses more than she imagined.

#BookReview: Wooing the Witch Queen (Queens of Villainy #1) by Stephanie Burgis

Synopsis:
In a Gaslamp-lit world where hags and ogres lurk in thick pine forests, three magical queens form an uneasy alliance to protect their lands from invasion…and love turns their world upside down.

Queen Saskia is the wicked sorceress everyone fears. After successfully wrestling the throne from her evil uncle, she only wants one thing: to keep her people safe from the empire next door. For that, she needs to spend more time in her laboratory experimenting with her spells. She definitely doesn’t have time to bring order to her chaotic library of magic.

When a mysterious dark wizard arrives at her castle, Saskia hires him as her new librarian on the spot. “Fabian” is sweet and a little nerdy, and his requests seem a little strange – what in the name of Divine Elva is a fountain pen? – but he’s getting the job done. And if he writes her flirtatious poetry and his innocent touch makes her skin singe, well…

Little does Saskia know that the "wizard" she’s falling for is actually an Imperial archduke in disguise, with no magical training whatsoever. On the run, with perilous secrets on his trail and a fast growing yearning for the wicked sorceress, he's in danger from her enemies and her newfound allies, too. When his identity is finally revealed, will their love save or doom each other?

Tabula Rasa—A clean slate.

Everyone deserves one, no?

Whether I want it or not, that’s exactly what I receive—a reset.

My name is Rose.

No last name.

No family to anchor me.

No one to claim me as their own.

I woke up behind a dumpster with no memories, just nightmares featuring a faceless man. My life has been erased like chalk dusted on a blackboard. Desperate and hungry, I sneak onto a boat, only for the owner to catch me red-handed.

His name is Dr. Caledon Maxwell.

He looks as regal as his name suggests.

Arrogant.

Unattainable.

Drop dead gorgeous.

Drop dead rich.

I am both terrified and fascinated by the man. I tell him I set out to uncover my past, but Dr. Maxwell has other ideas.

Forget the past.

Look forward to the future.

With each passing day, I'm losing control around him. As the boat sails further away, I stop caring about the past as long as I have a future with him.

That is until my past comes crashing back, and I realize the man from my nightmares might be closer than I thought.

Unapologetic Obsession is part of an interconnected series but can be read as a standalone.

For optimal enjoyment, read the first two books in the Tales of Obsession Series.

Caden Maxwell isn’t a typical romance hero. This is a dark romance with dubious situations. Some readers might find the contents of this book offensive or triggering.

#BookReview: The Wildest Things by Andrea Hannah

Synopsis:
In this sapphic Snow White retelling, if Snow is to save her kingdom from being ravaged by the Blight, she’ll have to kill the Evil Queen’s daughter…if she doesn’t fall in love with her first.

When her glass coffin unexpectedly shatters, Snow White awakens to anything but a dream. The land is rotting. The animals have mutated. In the twenty years that have passed since Snow bit into the poisoned apple, the kingdom of Roanfrost has transformed from a luscious wild land to a blight-ravaged nightmare. In search of answers and a way to restore her kingdom to its former glory, Snow sets out on a dangerous journey that will test the strength she never knew she had.

Friends will become foes.

New alliances will form.

The Queen with the blood red lips will stop at nothing to seize her power as well as her heart.

If Snow has any chance to survive and restore not only her kingdom, but all of Garedenne, her only option is to become the Seasonkeeper and access the life-giving magic that will heal the plague. But the path to becoming the Seasonkeeper is more treacherous than she could ever imagine—because the wild things have awakened and Snow’s darker impulses yearn to set them free.
