What is your desire? 

Lust, money, or power? 

I am the man who can make every dream come true, for a price. 

Years ago, a fight for supremacy took place between the two most powerful families in New Orleans. The battle was set in the metaphoric octagon, with the spotlight blazing. The city sat in paralyzed fear, awaiting word of a victor. 

Abraham Ramses versus Isaiah Boudreau. 

One man would emerge victorious and rule the city of sin. 

Neither understood that the devil was in the details. 

Neither lived to see the rising sun. 

I’m Everett Ramses, son of Abraham, and I am the devil. 

I took my rightful place as king of New Orleans. 

Now, my realm is threatened by a man with false claims to the Boudreau family. 

I know what I must have to secure my empire—who I must have. 

The rightful daughter of Isaiah Boudreau, Emma North, must be my wife. Together we will reign stronger than ever before. But first, she must take the devil’s deal. 

*DEVIL’S DEAL is a full-length novel that begins with the prequel FATE’S DEMAND previously titled The Deal.

EXCERPT

His voice lowers with intent. “Know this, if you do run, I’ll slap a pair of ankle cuffs on you so fast you won’t have time to say my name. There’ll be no more playing nice. I’ll tie you to my bed if that’s what I have to do.” Cupping my jaw, he delivers the threat with a soft kiss on my lips. “The choice is yours.”

The heavy blow is dealt with tender words. They sift down like snowflakes to settle cold in my heart. I tremble as he pushes me down onto the hood and leans over me.

“What will it be, Cas?”

He’s not asking if I’m on board with this limited version of freedom. When he unbuttons my jeans, he’s asking a different question, and, as always, when he slips his hand into my underwear, he gets the truth.

A Fate of Wrath & Flame by K.A. Tucker

A Fate of Wrath & Flame is the first book in a fantasy romance series by K.A. Tucker and it is a phenomenal and captivating one. Not only is there a slow burn romance between Romeria and Zander but there is magic, alternate universes, betrayal, gods & monsters, and destiny. This is not young adult. K.A. Tucker has built a world that is incredibly complex, special, and unique. The cast of characters are also multi-dimensional and layered with their own motivations and ambitions—including the antagonists. I was constantly questioning everything and everyone. Romeria is my favorite type of heroine: courageous, independent, curious, passionate, and innocent. Zander is her complete match and has all the qualities of a king: dutiful, loyal, compassionate, serious, and profound. Both characters have the potential to love deeply.

"I no longer feel the desire to look backward. I only want to look forward with you."

The story begins with a prologue that is intriguing and ultimately sets the stage for the events that will come. Romeria is a thief and she has the special ability to steal anything she sets her mind to. Unfortunately, this also gets her in trouble and she is now in debt to man named Korsakov. As she is studying her target, she meets a woman named Sofie who will irrevocably change her life. Without going into spoilers, Romeria is thrust into this new and parallel world of elementals, casters, fates, and immortals. She has inhabited the body of Princess Romeria from Ybaris who has seemingly come back to life after poisoning the king and queen of Islor. Zander, the previous Romeria's intended, now wants her dead.

"The old is now destined with the new, and there is no going back. There is only forward."

The story is intense, action-packed, magical, and full of passion. After being accused of things she did not do, Romeria now has to navigate this strange world while trying to earn the trust of those around her. Some of my favorite side characters include Elisaf, Corrin, Wendaline, and Annika. The chemistry between Zander and Romeria is palpable and electric. I looked forward to every scene they had together! At the heart of this story, there is a vendetta between the gods and I'm worried about what this will mean for Romeria and Zander now that their paths are intertwined. In the end, I absolutely can't wait for the next book in this series. Fans of K.A. Tucker will absolutely devour this book because it is an exceptional one. If you love the enemies to lovers and fake marriage/betrothal trope, then I highly recommend this book!

London Dynasty by Geneva Lee

London Dynasty by Geneva Lee is the first book in a trilogy and it was very sexy, captivating, and shocking. The story seems simple at first: A young woman who looks exactly like a missing heiress is hired to be her replacement. However, it gets incredibly complex when feelings are involved and she is forced to seduce the heiress' fiancé. Things get even more complicated when said fiancé has an identical twin brother. The plot is dramatic but it kept me interested and invested. The love scenes were also sensual and erotic and the tension was always palpable between Kate and Spencer as well as Kate and Holden.

"Someday we would set each other free. It was a lie. It was the truth. It was everything."

Kate is an orphan who has been struggling her entire life to make ends meet. The book picks up when one of the bar's patrons mistakenly recognizes her as someone else. He rudely takes a picture of her and Kate is shaken by this event. The next day, an older man shows up to her apartment and makes a proposition she cannot ignore: Pretend to his missing daughter for a year in exchange for 10 million pounds. Kate is a likeable heroine because she is conscious of her actions as well as the rippling effects it could cause to Kerrigan and others. As always, the "romance" was my favorite part of this book. It shocked me because Kate not only gets introduced to Spencer but his twin brother Holden as well. Like Kate, I am personally torn between the two. What makes it even more difficult is that Spencer and Holden are both very different despite looking the exact same.

"That's the thing about lies. Sometimes they get mixed up with the truth."

In the end, I absolutely can't wait to read Cruel Dynasty because the book ends in a shocking cliffhanger between Kate, Holden, and Spencer. There are still so many secrets that need to be uncovered and I have so many questions: Where is Kerrigan? What is Spencer hiding? What does Holden know? I highly recommend this book to those who love the arranged marriage trope with a twist because it has a heroine who is a doppelganger, twins, and two different potential romances. I don't know what will happen next but I am looking forward to it!

Darkly by Helen Hardt

Darkly by Helen Hardt is the third book in the Follow Me series but it does not take place after the events of Follow Me Under. Instead, we are given Braden Black's perspective during the events of Follow Me Darkly and how he met and fell in love with Skye Manning. I did not expect to get my heart broken but it did anyway. It felt like I went back in time and witnessed Braden and Skye's blossoming relationship and love story. What makes this even more heartbreaking is that their relationship, specifically following the events of Follow Me Under, is in tatters. Skye loses her identity and control for Braden but at the cost of everything including her relationship with him.

"I want more than Skye's control. I want more than Skye's submission… I want her love."

I have been wanting Braden Black's point of view ever since I read Follow Me Darkly. He was always so mysterious, controlling, and evasive about his past relationships. He is still secretive and refuses to talk about his past but we are able to understand him and see the depth of his obsession with Skye a lot clearer in Darkly. He truly did fall in love with her. This book added a much needed layer and depth to the first book because we are given glimpses of Braden's past, his feelings for Skye, and what he did when he was away from her. It had all of the conversations from the first book in addition to new scenes between Braden and his brother, Ben. I still wanted to smack Braden for hurting and distancing himself from Skye. Ironically, he was also torturing himself while trying to figure out his feelings for her.

"I ache with how much I've missed her, how much strength it took for me not to constantly check in with her."

In the end, Darkly is the perfect companion book to Follow Me Darkly. It was sensual, erotic, romantic, and even heartbreaking if you are caught up in the series and know what happened between Braden and Skye. I enjoyed this book and will be looking forward to seeing how it will all end in Follow Me Always. I loved traveling back in time and seeing how they met and eventually fell in love. There was almost a sweet quality to it. Of course, Braden and Skye are incredibly sexy together as well and their love scenes were scorching hot. Fans of Helen Hardt and the Follow Me series will definitely appreciate this latest installment!
