Review of "The Billionaire's Obsession" Complete Series by: J.S. Scott

"The Billionaire's Obsession: The Complete Collection" By:J.S. Scott
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆


     Kara is down on her luck and having a bad day, until a knight in shining armour comes to her rescue. Simon Hudson has been obssessed with Kara for over a year, admiring from a distance. Simon is intelligent, hot, rich and a dominant male. When Kara collapses in the middle of the street he has no choice but to rescue her. He takes her in and takes care of her, offering her the opportunity to concentrate on her studies and he will take care of the rest for one night together. Except one night will never be enough for both of them but each have issues stopping them from committing. Kara feels very insecure in Simon's rich world, feeling that she will never fit in. She doesn't want anything to do with his money and does everything possible to give it back. Simon's dominant character is a cover for his insecurities which are both physical and emotional and run very deep. Can Kara strip these bare and gain his trust and his love? Whilst this series is broken in bite sized chunks, it is advisable to read them in one go. Watching Simon struggle with the concept of being in a relationship and trusting someone else is interesting to witness - having never been in a relationship before romance is an alien concept to him. Join Kara and Simon on their journey of self discovery.

Review of "Baby Girl" by: Scott Hildreth

"Baby Girl" by: Scott Hildreth
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆


       Firstly, wow! Secondly, Scott Hildreth has created two main characters that are strong, independent and likeable. Of course Erik Ead being a motorbike riding, tatoo cover, rich, intelligent man was always going to be a winner. Being a psychiatrist is something different to the usual calibre of alpha males. He knows exactly what he wants and goes for it - confident not arrogant. With the character of Kelli, Hildreth had a different type of a challenge and one that he more than met. Kelli is very strong, independent, certainly knows her own mind, is secure in her sexuality and is completely likeable. This book is completely different to any other book I have read in this genre. It takes its time to explore the psychological parts of a dom/sub relationship and spends time exploring the emotiions of the characters and what makes them who they are through their own POV. There are plenty of HOT scenes throughout but they are followed by the characters' reflections on what has happened and how it shapes their emotions and them moving forward. A definite must read!

Author Spotlight: Charlie Daye!


1. Tell us about your book/books? Children of Kria was something I came up with while having a bad day. And since killing people in today's society is highly frowned upon, I decided to create a world of immortal assassins that seek justice for those who would never get it on their own. Each story focuses on a different character in the world of Kriation and each character responds to a different kind of heart ache. Let's take the first three books in the series, for example.. Fury (Book 1) responds to the betrayal of a man to a woman, Raithe (Book 2) responds to rape, Vengeance (Book 3) responds to slavery and so on. The stories will differ from character to character. In some instances you made read about how the assassins came to Kriation and in other instances you may read about a hunt they go after already being a Child o Kria and in some instances you'll get both. The books are action packed thrill rides that are dark and deadly. They deal with issues that some may consider taboo or just downright disturbing.This will be a new writing style for my current fans who are used to my paranormal romance novels. You will find no romance in these books since they are considered fantasy novels, however, I'll still give your happily ever after.

2. How did you get started as a writer? I started writing at a very young age. My first short story was written when I was 13 as a class assignment. Most of the class wrote 1 to 2 pages, I wrote 8. From there, I progressed into poetry before writing my first full length novel, The House. I was working at a cemetery at the time and thought it would be fun to spend the days using my surroundings for inspiration.

3. What’s a typical day like for you? Oh, my days are fairly boring. If the mood strikes to me to write I could easily spend anywhere from 8-12 hours in front of the computer. When I'm not writing and there isn't incessant amounts of laundry to be done, you'll find me with my nose stuck in a book.

4. Describe your work space. My work space is fondly referred to as the dungeon because it's down in the basement area of my home. However, it doesn't look like a basement. Besides my desk, I have an off white love seat decorated with red throw pillows and New York themed art work.

5. Favorite Books? My favorite book of all time is Intensity by Dean Koontz. It's the only book on my shelf that's been read more than twice. I think my standing cunt is five times.

6. Tell us 3 interesting things about you. Hmmm...I have a Barbie doll collection that's worth more than most people make in a month, I grew up in several different foster homes and my longest standing relationship has been with my BFF Melissa. We've been friends since we were eleven.

7. Favorite Quote: This world would be a much better place if we all still thought with the mind of a child.

8. Best and worst part of being a writer? Best Part: Creating worlds and people that have only ever lived in my mind and sharing them with the world. Worst Part: The length of time it takes to complete one book.


9. Advice to writers? To have a dream is easy. To make that dream a reality takes courage and imagination. Never give up.

Review of "Healer" by: B N Toler



"Healer" by: B N Toler
Rating:☆☆☆☆


       Aldo is a 'Healer'. She can use her power to draw energy to heal people. She also has the ability to absorb information from people through touch. Aldo and her family have spent years trying to stay under the radar of vampires. Vampires want healers for their powers and they are after Aldo and her family. When Aldo meets Thomas she is drawn to him as another healer and over the time they become closer with Thomas using his power to visit Aldo in her dreams. Then tragedy strikes, leaving Aldo to track Thomas down after he disappears from her life. Aldo believes that he has been taken by Vampires. Enter Rhett, an extremely sexy Blood Healer, who kidnaps her. Who can she trust - Thomas or Rhett? Aldo goes on a journey of self discovery to find the truth and to discover who she can trust - falling in love along the way. Everything is not as it seems in this book. B N Toler has created a strong cast of characters, each equipped to deal with the hands they are dealt and a story that is subtle but quick paced. Whilst the story comes to a resolution based on the events of this book, it is the first of a series with the story continuing in the next book.
