Alta Hensley has revealed the cover for Villains Are Made!

Releasing: January 17, 2023

Cover Design: Emily Wittig Designs 

I know how villains are made.
I've watched their secrets rise from the ashes and emerge from the shadows.
As part of a family tree with roots so twisted, I'm strangled by their vine.
Imprisoned in a world of decadence and sin, I've seen Gods among men.
And he is one of them.

He is the villain.
He is the enemy who demands to be the lover.
He is the monster who has shown me pleasure but gives so much pain.
But something has changed...
He's different.
Darker.
Wildly possessive as his obsession with me grows to an inferno that can't be controlled.

Yes... he is the villain.
And he is the end of my beginning.

Upper Hand by Amelia Wilde

Upper Hand by Amelia Wilde is the continuation of Gabriel Hill and Elise Bettencourt's story as they battle feelings for each other while overcoming the secrets and dangers of the consortium that Mason Hill first attempted to unravel in Net Worth. There is no denying that Gabriel is a broken man; he will need a strong and empathetic heroine to be his anchor and "home." Elise is that woman but her heart keeps getting broken by him. Despite my frustrations with these two, I thought Gabriel and Elise were perfect for each other because she understood him and his reasons for revenge and never faulted him for using her. It was clear that Gabriel never wanted to hurt Elise but his path was already set and determined for him. In addition to thinking of himself as worthless and undeserving love, Gabriel has always used his charismatic facade as both a weapon and shield against others—Elise was the only exception.

"I want him on a level beyond guilt and debt and revenge. I want him because nothing else feels as good as being in his arms."

I do have to mention that there was a scene I particularly disliked because it made me extremely uncomfortable and took me out of the romance between Gabriel and Elise. Unfortunately, it had to do with the consortium and their initiation. As Gabriel becomes more entrenched in their clutches, Elise makes a decision that may have dire consequences for the both of them. Elise was an interesting heroine to root for because she grew up learning about her family's cruelty, especially her father's evil manipulations, and tried to leave it all behind only to get pulled back into the fold by the man she loved. It was frustrating to see her struggle and hurt by her family because she was just as deserving of love as Gabriel.

"I'd rather die than live without her, but I'll pay any price to keep her alive."

In the end, I enjoyed this book and will be looking forward to the conclusion of Gabriel and Elise's story in Fair Game because no surprise—their story ends in a shocking cliffhanger that left me reeling from the parallelism. I refuse to believe Gabriel and Elise were that naive into thinking that Bettencourt would not retaliate against them. I liked that the author particularly focused more on the romance in this installment because Gabriel and Elise's feelings for each other were finally recognized. Their love scenes, while few, were sensual and erotic. I highly recommend this to those who like reading angst and the enemies to lovers trope with a broken and self-destructing hero who loves and will do everything in his power to protect his hopelessly sweet and caring heroine.

Wild Born by Nikolai Andrew

Wild Born is the first book in the Wolven Brotherhood series by Nikolai Andrew and it features two unlikely fated mates who were always meant to be together. If you're looking for a quick and dirty story with paranormal elements, then you will definitely get that here. The book begins with Callan falling completely obsessed and head over heels in lust with his fated heroine, Sestina. Unbeknownst to Sestina, her alluring and powerful scent drove him to the brink of madness. While their first meeting was unconventional, I liked that he scared her away because of his intensity at first but then she slowly warmed up to him after he saved her. They were certainly compatible with each other and had plenty of sexual chemistry. I certainly enjoyed the hot and steamy moments between the two.

"I love you more than life, and I will protect you with mine if I have to."

In the end, Callan and Sestina's story was an enjoyable read and beginning to the Wolven Brotherhood series. In addition to the romance and sexy scenes, I was also intrigued by the world-building in this book because Callan was considered a "wolven" and was part of a "pact," much similar to that of a werewolf. The inhabitants of this world were surprisingly fine with paranormal beings and even lived with them. Holly and Vargr will be next and they were briefly introduced as secondary characters in this book. I wonder if Roark, the leader of Callan's pact, will get his own story even though he lost his mate long ago. If you like your heroes possessive, dirty, and knows exactly who he wants—a sweet and innocent heroine by his side, then you won't be disappointed with Callan and Sestina's story.

My JoeSmith: Anonymity by Pebbles Lacasse

My JoeSmith: Anonymity is the first book in a brand new series by Pebbles Lacasse and I was thoroughly impressed by her writing, characterization, and the developing romance between Terri, the mysterious "JoeSmith," and Ben Manning. Although this is typically not the type of books I read because it deals heavily with kink and BDSM, I couldn't help but be captivated by her characters' actions and root for their happy ending. Terri is the type of heroine who longs for love but she often makes decisions that go against her ultimate happiness. This can be exemplified in her attempts at rationalizing her potential relationship with JoeSmith who has yet to reveal his identity to her. While their time together is incredibly erotic and exciting, it also feels fleeting and one-sided. As Terri continues to explore her relationship with JoeSmith, she expands her horizons and sexual attraction to other characters.

"I can't lose myself in the romantic fog. It isn't real. He doesn't love me the way this feels like he does."

While the story does heavily revolve around Terri's sexual exploration with three different characters, I appreciated the fact that it also focuses on romance as well. I was invested and intrigued by her time with the alluring, dominant, and mysterious JoeSmith who keeps his identity hidden from Terri. Despite my reservations with this character, I do want him to be with her. My only question is, who exactly is he? In addition to JoeSmith, Terri is highly attracted to Ben Manning—her serious, quiet, and gentleman of a boss. The sexual chemistry and tension between them was fascinating to witness and like Terri, I couldn't help but compare him to JoeSmith. Though they share similarities with each other, Terri thinks there are distinct differences between the two men.

"I won't let you go that easily. Don't you know that by now?"

In the end, I enjoyed this book despite my hesitation with the FMF and FF content. The story and characters were provocative, interesting, and had more depths to them than meets the eye. I do have to say that Sam was the only character I did not like because of her whining and childish personality. I did not care for her sexual activities with Terri or JoeSmith. Instead, I was more invested in Terri's relationship with JoeSmith and Ben. The cliffhanger ending was a shocking surprise and I look forward to finding out the connection between Ben and JoeSmith. If you like reading stories with tropes such as having a secret identity, unrequited love, office romance between boss/employer, as well as heavy emphasis on BDSM and kink, then you will enjoy reading this unique love story.

Two For the Show by Skye Warren

Two for the Show by Skye Warren is the continuation of Finn Hughes and Eva Morelli's emotional and heartbreaking love story as they seek to understand and move forward with or without each other. This book surprised me because we're given a much better understanding of Finn's character and his internal struggles against the so-called "curse." I never realized how fatalistic he was—especially when it came to his future with Eva. Finn was so focused on what could potentially happen to him that he never considered living happily in the present. Despite wanting him to grovel for Eva's forgiveness, I couldn't even bring myself to fault him because he was so scared of forgetting everything. The fact that he witnessed his own father deteriorate mentally over the years only exacerbated his hopelessness. To this end, he broke Eva's heart by pushing her away only to find out that he had left his own heart and future with her.

"I never wanted to pretend. I wanted it to be real, and it couldn't be. My life is a sham that will end in more secrecy and shame. But damn it, she was real."

While I was emotionally invested in Finn and Eva's romance, I was also frustrated by it as well because I wanted them to better communicate with each other. Eva had every right to be upset with Finn because he broke her heart and left her with an unexpected surprise. However, she gave into him so easily. I wanted Finn to realize what he was missing and the life he could have had with Eva—and he did, but it took almost the entire book for him to come to terms with his love for her. Most of the book focused on Finn's internal struggle of loving Eva and wanting to push her away because she deserved someone better than him. Eva herself also goes through some character development as she comes to terms with her own pregnancy and potential future with Finn. I loved all of the character cameos and it was so heartwarming to see the close bond and relationship that Eva had with Leo Morelli.

"I don't give up on the people I love, even when it's hard. Even when it's awful. Even when it seems like there's no light at the end of the tunnel."

In the end, I enjoyed this book and will be looking forward to reading the conclusion to Eva and Finn's story. The cliffhanger ending was expected but still surprising nonetheless. I'm worried that Finn will go back to being an idiot and give up on his future but I know that Eva will never give up on him. Despite my irritation with Finn, reading about his personal struggles and feelings over dementia softened my heart towards him. Behind that charming, suave, and reckless persona lies a broken and fatalistic man. There is no denying that Eva is the perfect woman for Finn because she will always support and love him. Fans of the surprise pregnancy and fake relationship tropes will certainly love this sweet but heartbreaking trilogy featuring two prominent characters in the Midnight Dynasty universe.

Force of Nature by Skye Warren & Amelia Wilde

Force of Nature by Skye Warren and Amelia Wilde was certainly an unexpected departure from The Crash with the introduction of a new stranger on the island. I had my own reservations about this character, especially when it came to how his role and dynamic will affect Carter Morelli and June Porter. Unfortunately, I wasn't completely sold on the ménage relationship considering that it was mostly founded on lust and instant attraction. I was more interested in the budding relationship between June and Carter instead as they initially sought to take cover from those seeking them harm. As they travel further into the jungle, Carter is forced to contend with his identity and feelings for June as well as the sudden appearance of the mysterious man.

"It's as if he's memorizing me—the feel of me. The taste. As if he's taking the last kiss he'll ever have."

I was slightly disappointed by this story because I expected more from Carter and June. Even after finishing the book, I still couldn't grasp who they we’re as characters. Carter Morelli is haunted by his family's legacy and is adamant about being a sinner. But why? Carter has lived a good life while distancing himself from his family and hiding his double life from them. As for June, she is a struggling photographer with a difficult childhood. The mysterious man is even more of an enigma because of his religious upbringing and contradictory nature. They had nothing in common with each other. The addition of Theo only further complicated Carter and June's relationship.

"This woman is like the actual sun—cheerful like a giant burning star. She's burning me."

If you like the forced proximity and grumpy/sunshine tropes with the added bonus of MMF, then you won't be disappointed by Carter, June, and Theo's complicated relationship. There is no denying that the sex scenes were extremely erotic, filthy, and almost dreamlike in a way—this fits perfectly with the mood of this book because everything felt like a dream or hallucination. While this story is part of the Midnight Dynasty universe, it can be read as a standalone. I do have to say that the story was fast-paced and made for an entertaining read. At first, it was a survival story between Carter and June but then it transformed into an entirely different one with the introduction of Theo. The book does end with a twist of a cliffhanger that will make readers question everything.

A Lair So Royal by Zoey Ellis

A Lair So Royal is the final book in the Last Dragorai series and it features the serious, dominant, and unrelenting Khyros and his disobedient, resilient, and destined mate Azenyah. These two matched each other perfectly. Although I did not like how their relationship started because it was incredibly messy and complicated, this couple did grow on me over time. Khyros was the head of the Vattoro clan and much of the story so far revolved around him trying to locate his dragon who has been missing for centuries. Little did he know that fate and the Goddesses had plans for them all because of past mistakes and oversights from the dragorai race.

"You are mine. You will always be mine, no matter what you say or do. You will always be my priority. I will do whatever it takes to protect you."

Azenyah was an interesting character and very different from past heroines because she is a dragorai—the same race as Khyros. After being trapped for on an island with Khyros' dragon for hundreds of years, Azenyah is thrust into a world that she no longer knows. A warrior for a time long gone, she is Khyros' other half and equal but due to misunderstandings between the two, their first time together was violent and brutal. I had a hard time finishing this book at first but once things took a turn and secrets were revealed, I was determined to finish it all the way. While the romance between Khyros and Azenyah was more physical at first, I was able to feel more of their connection near the end when truths were finally revealed.

"I wouldn't change anything if it meant there was a chance I wouldn't have you."

In the end, I enjoyed this book despite my initial reaction to it and would recommend it to fans of Zoey Ellis and those who love fantasy romance with a lot of spice. Once the truth behind Khyros' missing dragon and why Azenyah was trapped on the same island was revealed, everything made sense. I felt heartbroken for everyone who died and fought in the war against the humans but it also left them a promising future to hold on to. The ending of the series was a pleasant surprise and brought much hope to the Vattoro clan. I hope that Zoey Ellis will continue this series in the future because I truly did enjoy all of the characters. The nose rubs will always be my favorite. I recommend this series to those who like the "enemies to romance" and "pre-destined soul mates" tropes with a dominant and arrogant hero who will stop at nothing to keep and claim his defiant and stubborn little warrior.
