Wowza!! I’m not 100% sure what I’m feeling after this book left me saying WTF?! On one hand I absolutely loved it and devoured the book quickly. The other hand is a bit frustrated. I wanted more. This one could have easily been two books. If the Author wanted to dole out some more of these three guys I’d be all in.

Penelope is just as strong if not stronger than her guys. I loved this about her most. She’s not a push over. She’s a baddie with a vendetta. Lots of twist and dark themes that are great.

BLURB:

 

I didn’t believe them when they said they would corrupt me. 

I was wrong. So wrong. 

 

The night my sister died, a piece of me died with her, so I made a vow. 

I’m going to enroll at Spine Ridge University just like her, find the person responsible … and make them pay. 

Until I meet three sick boys of the Skull & Serpent Society: Felix, Dylan, Alistair.

Rude, heartless, vicious guys who are obsessed with making me regret I ever stepped foot on campus. 

 

They make me a deal: My body in exchange for a glimpse at their violence. 

Refusing them is impossible, denying them is insane. 

 

They’re rough, greedy, and every second with them is filled with depravity. 

Their venom is jabbed straight into my heart and I’m sucked into their world. 

All for the sake of revenge. 

 

Until it becomes something more. 

Something priceless. 

Something all four of us would kill for.

Gahhhh! I’m loving this story something fierce. This one picks up right where we left off in No Such King. June once again creates an addictive story with a group of characters you can’t help but love. Some you even love to hate.

Just when I was thinking okay this is going to be good now and we can move on and be happy…. Nah! Here comes a twist that makes me want to scream. I knew better but my goodness I wasn’t expecting all of that.

The steam definitely picks up in this book. I can typically pick a favorite in the book but with this series so far I can’t. Definitely a must read!!

I’m almost positive I had tears in my eyes for the whole book. But that’s why I read Jewel E Ann! She makes me feel all the things.

This book was absolutely amazing. Heart wrenching! The tears I had were both happy and sad and even a little angry at times. The characters were explosive with the chemistry. I can’t say enough good things about this one. Read it. Read it if you love second chances at love. Read it if you love a strong sensible hero. Just. Read. It!

 

Before Us by Jewel E. Ann is now live! 

 

I never saw him coming.

 

I didn’t know what would happen after my client found me sleeping in my car.

I’d been cleaning his house as his wife was dying.

I didn’t expect them to invite me to live with them.

I didn’t expect Suzie to become my lifeline—until she was gone.

 

I didn’t expect him to ask me to marry him when he found out I needed medical insurance.

 

I didn’t expect to fall in love with a grieving man.

 

There are so many reasons to keep my distance from Zach. Every tender moment secreted away.

 

When we’re not together, I miss the man I call husband.

Does he miss his wife? If so, which one?

No Such King by Coralee June *Blog Post*

/ The Smut-Brarians / Leave a comment

👑 BOOK DETAILS 👑

Blurb

A puppet, a prince, and a playboy. One arranged marriage. Three men I must keep at arm’s length. 

Atticus Dupont has been watching me from a distance, controlling my life like he controls the seedy criminal underground. He longs to own my mind, body, and soul.

Leo Winthrop is willing to do whatever it takes to protect me from the horrors of this castle, even if it means being cruel and pushing me away.

and Prince Augustus? He’s a reluctant royal that would rather sleep his way through court than be forced into an arranged marriage with me.

I fled the kingdom four years ago, planning to never return.

But the king is dead.

The kingdom is in chaos.

My duty makes it impossible to walk away.

One thing I know for sure: I have to open my cracked heart, because this crown is too heavy for one lover to bear.

This is a reverse harem royal romance. 

Book two: No Such Queen releases February 22nd

Book three: No Such Ring releases March 22nd

June does dark just the way I like it!! Steamy, broody men, sassy heroine, and all the suspense! My first book for 2023 was definitely a 5 star hit.

Christine is a force to be reckoned with! She’s strong yet feminine and sweet. I love her! She’s been through some things that really molded her into the woman she is now. Fierce. Determined.

Augustus ladies and gentlemen…. I wanted to throat punch him at first. Now I can’t get enough. He’s a man who knows what his woman wants and needs. A lot selfish in the beginning but boy oh boy did he make up for that.

This book is awesome. I cannot wait for the next two books because that ending had me all shook up! Definitely a must read for 2023!

I knew it! I knew this book was going to wreck me. It did! But it was so worth it. That ending had me all messed up and ready to fight honestly.

Skyler is such a sweetheart. Been through so much and still keeps going and refuses to stop living. Love love love her! Memphis will always have my heart. That man loves deep and once he is in….. he’s in! I knew their connection was deep and honestly it was fun watching skyler chip away at Memphis tough act.

This is a phenomenal read! I need the next book asap! The angst and tension had me all in my feelings and even shed a couple tears. I loved it.
