Excerpt

  “Listen, kid, I don’t care what you believe in. It’s not for me to say what’s true and untrue, real or unreal. My assignment was you. You get to be one of us, if you want it. Otherwise, you move on, life is over, kaput.” Ophelia backed away from the stranger. For the first time, she realized she didn’t feel cold and wasn’t shivering. Is this what being dead was like? “One of you?” “A grim reaper.” He held out his hand to properly introduce himself. “Edon Montgomery, head reaper and old soul.”

Book Review: OCEAN'S JUSTICE by Demelza Carlton

Title: OCEAN'S JUSTICE

Author: Demelza Carlton

Genre: Fantasy Romance

My Star Rating: 5/5

Goodreads Blurb:

Cast adrift on the Indian Ocean, eighteen-year-old Maria is saved by the crew of the steamship Trevessa.
She can't tell them her tragic tale, so the superstitious sailors make up their own stories – and some would sacrifice her to the seas to save themselves from the coming storm.
Scottish engineer William McGregor boarded the Trevessa in search of adventure. He finds a crew convinced their ship is cursed, as he fights to protect the mysterious girl and bring her safely to shore.
When the sharks start circling and the storm closes in, are sirens more than just a myth?

My Review:

 I fell completely in love with this story.  From page one I was hooked, and couldn't stop reading until I found out all about Maria and her back story.  She was such a strong character, which is impressive since she doesn't speak much at all during the book because she doesn't speak English.  It was so fun to witness the "strange" things humans do through the eyes of a siren; every day activities are presented as foreign so convincingly it was incredible.  I can't wait to read the other books in this series.  GREAT job, Demelza.

Cover Reveal: ADDICT (Cravings Series Book 1) by Rachael Orman

Title: Addict (Cravings Series #1)

Author: Rachael Orman

Genre: Erotic Romance/BDSM

Publication Date: December 22, 2014

Tour Host: Dreams Come True Promotions

My name is Alix and I am addicted to sex.
Had been for years. I thought I learned how to live a normal life, but that’s the thing about addiction, it creeps back up when you least expect it. There is no one there for me, no one I can turn to for help. Until I’m given a chance to explore a side of myself I’d always kept locked away. I was lost…until him. I can’t tell you who he is, or why he does the things he’s done. All I can say is I hope one day I behave well enough to take off the blindfold and see the man who controls my addiction. My Master.

My name is John and I am addicted to control.
I tried to deny the dominate side of my personality. I didn’t want to admit how much I enjoyed the power, how much I enjoyed causing pain. That is until the woman I’d been secretly been stalking waltzed into a BDSM club right in front of me. All bets are off. She will be mine.

Together our addictions feed off each other, fueling the fire that burns within. Until suddenly the fire is too hot to handle, burning everything in its path. The pain and scars we’d both come into our fragile relationship with are split wide open, exposing more than either of us can handle, possibly leaving nothing behind to salvage from the ashes.

**Warning: Intended for audiences 18+ due to explicit sex & vulgar language, mention of rape/abuse**
