On the surface, Maldarehm was the perfect place to re-supply after a lengthy voyage at sea. Yet underneath this port city’s vibrant, bustling atmosphere, something was wrong. Ian Troy could feel it. After barely escaping the Wandering Isles, he was reluctant to go ashore. Ian was content with a slow, solitary ride along the coast.

Jarryd Kane, however, was anxious to explore a new land, especially one known as a haven for pirates. In the mood for adventure, he heads straight to Providence, the city’s infamous gambling house, and to a game with stakes unlike any other.

Two different paths lead both men to the same dangerous outcome, as Ian and Jarryd are caught in a brutal local tradition rooted in ancient beliefs and fueled by magic. Risk and sacrifice, death and reward—fortune and misfortune—ride on little more than a roll of the dice in Maldarehm. But what do you expect when you’re playing with gods?

Fortune’s Favorite is Book 2 in the Soulbound Journeys Series.

Sleeping with the Enemy (Astoria Royals, #3)Sleeping with the Enemy by Deborah Garland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wonderful! Heartbreaking. I was so saddened to see how Priscilla grows up and what she has to endure so young. It is reassuring somewhat to know that Riordan always loved her, even if he didn’t admit it to himself. She is a strong woman in the life she now leads, the choices she makes and the chances she takes. I hoped throughout that they could find their way back to each other someday, but both of them are really put through the ringer with Grigori and a spur of the moment wedding. This author had me dying at the end with the little twist thrown in. I look forward to seeing what happens with Lachlan.

Tempting Fate: a dark and angsty love triangle romance (Black Shamrocks MC: Australia Book 1)Tempting Fate: a dark and angsty love triangle romance by Bella Faust
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in this Trilogy. And wow what a start. This is a dark psychological MC story which I love. I love how MC stories are a band of men who standby and support each other and protect the women they love at all costs. This has the same feel but is much darker than others I’ve read. The author does an amazing job of dealing with some really triggering subjects in a sensitive way but which also shows the after effects not only on the victim but everyone connected to them.
I loved the characters in this story. For me the character that really stood out for me was Lilly (Cherub). She has gone through so much and is tormented by everything that has happened to her but deep down she still has a strength and a fire in her belly which I was amazed by. The way the author writes completely takes you inside her mind and you feel not only the physical pain but also the mental torture she puts herself through.
I will advise this book does have subject matter which may trigger some readers but the author spells all that out before the story even begins.

I don’t want to give too much away as this is definately something you need to read for yourself.
Lilly went through a terrible ordeal on her 18th birthday. An ordeal at the hands of a man that nearly cost her life.
Fast forward and the monster is released and has his eyes still set on her. Lilly is now in a relationship with Zeke who is a member of an MC and he is determined to make sure he protects her. But what happens when he fails her yet again? Can Lily really trust anyone in the MC? And when suspicions start around her own father being the person who allows the monster to get her again who is she meant to trust? This is a story full of danger, angst, secrets, lies, courage and strength. It will have you feeling every emotion possible and has definately left me wanting more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a continuation from Craving Control and is just as dark and intense as the first book. I mentally prepared myself going into this story and it was completely worth it. This book completely takes over as soon as you start reading it. You fully go on the journey with the character, every emotion and all the darkness. This is not a book to be taken lightly and I would highly recommend you heed the trigger warnings.
This book was fantastic from start to finish. It is the kind of book that you have to read twice because you read it so fast the first time you need to go back and capture all the details you missed. If you like dark and intense stories then this is definitely one for you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tempting Fate (Black Shamrocks MC: Australia Book 1) by Bella Faust is a great suspense romance book.

This is the third year of Lily and Zeke’s story. Alex continues to remain fixated on Lily, despises Zeke, and makes every effort to separate the two of them. This is extremely dark, precisely what I would anticipate from the author, especially when you add treachery, general MC brutality, and tons of triggers. Zeke does his hardest to protect Lily.

Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story really transports you into the dark romance world. I couldn’t put the book down.

Sleeping With The Enemy
By: Deborah Garland

This book is absolutely phenomenal. It sucked me in from the very beginning and I did not want it to end. The author weaves an intricate story with fantastic details that I truly enjoyed. She did an excellent job developing the characters as well. Riordan and Priscilla were very well rounded characters and it was clear that there was a lot of history between them. Watching them interact with this in mind was so much fun. This book really brought it all – spice, suspense, tension, and amazing banter. This was an amazing forced marriage story that I truly enjoyed. I definitely recommend it.

I always love this author’s books, and this dark romance is no different. You jump immediately into a tense situation in the very beginning, and it only gets more interesting from there. You can feel the chemistry between Riordan and Priscilla which gets steamier by the second. I was on the edge of my seat throughout this whole book with the drama, violence, and heated scenes full of passion. This author has such a way of writing that will hold your attention from the very first page to the very last. She knows exactly how to keep you engaged, not to mention creating a perfect story flow. I found myself completely invested in these characters just mere minutes after being introduced to them. If you love dark mafia romances, don’t pass on this on or you’ll definitely regret it!

It ended up almost costing her life. Zeke swears he will do everything to protect Lilly forever. But when Lilly gets kidnapped by Alex the day he is released, what Zeke does. All the twists and turns you are not expecting! This book had me gasping for air through the whole thing!! I cannot wait to read the rest!!

Highly recommend that you read Bella’s first book Craving Control before starting this series. (READ HER TRIGGER WARNINGS). This series is absolutely a dark romance and so unique. Bella had me on the edge of my seat, waiting for what would happen next. I am eager to read this entire series and see what happens to the Cherub, Venom, Slash, and the rest of the Black Shamrocks. I am grabbing the next book Making Choices, immediately.

I enjoyed reading this romance story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites yet. This is a well written story where there is a thin line between hate and love but what will happen when the lines are crossed? What will fate have in store for these two characters? I enjoyed how easily they pulled me into their world. I enjoyed watching their growth as well as their chemistry throughout. They are great, strong characters that made the story for me. Their story is one you don’t want to miss for sure. This is a fast paced, hard to put down, engaging story that I highly recommend.

This book is dark, and sexy, and suspenseful. The things that Zeke (Venom), and Lily go through to be together, and then there is her crazy ex. This story makes you want to know how on earth this authors brain works to come up with some of the things/issues in this story. I will definitely be reading book 2.

Oh my! First off…make sure to read tthe author’s trigger warning. After that, you are in for a ride. This is one of the most intense romance stories I have ever read. I don’t really want to give away too much. You must read it to find out more. The chemistry is off the charts. The characters are so well written and drawn into the story so well that you can’t help but be pulled in right from the beginning.
At times, I found myself holding my breath waiting to see what happened. I am waiting to see what comes out in the next book.

This is book 3 of the Astoria Royals series and it packed a punch. There is so much to enjoy – from drama, steam and romance to forced marriages, politics, high stakes danger and possessive alpha males. I really need to go back and read books 1 & 2 now. Really well written and highly recommend.

Tempting Fate: a dark and angsty love triangle romance (Black Shamrocks MC: Australia Book 1)Tempting Fate: a dark and angsty love triangle romance by Bella Faust
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was the first book I’ve read by Bella Faust, and I must say that I am going to be looking up other books that she’s written! This is by far the best psychological thriller that I’ve ever read! I could not put this book down from the moment I started reading it I was intrigued by the back story of our main characters, Lily and Venom, and what had happened with Alex, because it was horrendous. The characters are created so realistically that they sound like my relatives, a bunch of bikers who look out for one another, it’s the family code. I must say, this book is not for the faint of heart or anyone who may suffer from triggers due to sexual, physical, or psychological assault, if you fall into any of these categories, the author does warn you to be aware before reading. The twists and turns that this book made had my head spinning, I must say expect the unexpected because anything goes when you have a war of at least two separate gangs, add in young love and you are in for some real trouble…we all make mistakes, but are Lily’s ever going to be repaired, or will they cost her the life of those she loves as well as her own? This story is truly a work of art, that is so mind-blowing, and so realistic, beware you will get attached and pick a side fairly quickly, but watch out, there are so many secrets being kept, and plans being made behind the backs of those you thought you could trust. Once you pick up this book, you are going to be craving more, luckily, I heard there’s a pre-qual that you can only get from the author, as well as a part 2 that you won’t want to miss! As for me, Bella Faust is joining my favorite author’s list, I intend on following her so I don’t miss out on any new books coming out.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dark, love triangle with warnings
What a brilliantly executed book. This has everything from psychological thriller aspects (including a psychopathic character) to an enduring love and romance. I didn’t realise there was a prequel, which I am going to have to rectify immediately. This is book 1 in the Duplicity Trilogy and with the way this finished I am hoping that book 2 is not too far away. With well developed characters and an intense and engaging narrative this book draws out all the emotions. Highly Recommend.

Sleeping with the Enemy (Astoria Royals, #3)

 

 

4.5 Stars

 

Sleeping With the Enemy is the third book in the Astoria Royals Series by Deborah Garland. This story is every bit as wonderful as I had expected from Ms. Garland, as she certainly knows how to weave a riveting story. It is a gripping contemporary Mafia romance with a second chances element, forced marriage, action, violence, chemistry, steam, danger, drama, tension, mafia politics, intensity, emotion, and suspense. Also keep in mind that there are sensitive subject matters contained in the story (abuse, sexual assault etc) so if you have triggers make sure to read the TW before diving in.
OMG- I can’t believe that this is the third book in a series, and I have only just discovered it and am yet to read the other two books. I have read and adored many of Ms. Garland’s previous books, so I will definitely be going back to devour the other two books asap before continuing the rest of the series.
The story certainly starts off on a very intriguing note that hooked me right from the outset. I was soon engrossed in all the developments, glued to the pages as I followed along to see how everything would play out in the end. I have always said that one of the things that Ms. Garland does really well is that she’s able to get her reader to completely invest in her characters and their story, whilst also crafting her story with palpable tension, as well as plenty of emotion..
I can’t wait to explore the rest of the series now. Highly recommend this gripping story, especially if you love a great Mafia romance.
Happy reading…

Thank you, Deborah Garland!

4.5 Stars

 

Tempting Fate is the first Book in the Black Shamrocks MC: Australia series by Bella Faust. OMG- this series!!! It’s quite edgy, raw, dark, intense, and twisted! I seriously recommend reading ‘Craving Control’ first before starting on this book, as “Craving Control’ is a prequel to this book/series and sets the groundwork and lays out the backstory that sets everything here in motion.
I won’t go into the story here, as I really don’t want to give anything away that will spoil it for you. But I will say that there are a lot of potential triggers in this book/series, things do get quite dark at times- and the story/series isn’t for the faint of heart, that’s for sure… so if you are looking for a light-hearted read, hearts and flowers, have triggers, or don’t like having your emotions toyed with- then this probably isn’t the book for you. For everyone else, strap yourself in because you’re in for a bit of a wild ride as Ms. Faust takes a dark turn, with shocking details that will strips you bare, then toy with your emotions, unbalance you, and twist your mind- all with an evil grin on her face and a sinister cackle echoing around her as she unleashes the tsunami of angst that’s brewing for her readers. Ms. Faust certainly proves her writing prowess with this dark tale.
Bring on Book #2!!!
Addictive Reading…

Thank you, Bella Faust!

This book keeps you intrigued and highly motivated to finish. Cheering on cherub to overcome her battles the 2nd book ends on a cliff hanger that has me HOOKED. I cannot wait for the third book to arrive. I am prepared to find out what happens to venom, cherub and slash. Will it in polyamorous relationship? Will it stay monogamous.

Cherub has been apart of the gang since before she was born raised around the club she lives breathes and emulates SHAMROCK. But what happens when her life has been twisting into an evil journey. Will the shamrocks protect her?! Who’s behind all of this treachery.

He was the love of her life and she was the one that got away. Forced together in the most auspicious of times a wrench is thrown in when it’s revealed she’s an agent for the FBI and he’s running the family MOB.

Steamy scenes, hilarity, mystery and intrigue. This is a quick jaunt in the park that leaves you excited for more.

If your highly sensitive, avoid reading this as there is multiple triggers. Liliana is my favorite character. Yet I’m a little bias just because of her name. Also can’t help but admire her for her strength and her determination to show she is a survivor. Lily has the skills to keep going forward. Though she was a victim she isn’t drowning in her sorrows. I highly recommend this book if you can take the triggers. If not kindly move on.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The prequel isn’t a romance, but a deep dive into a psychopath’s mind where we hear his side of the story.  Think Criminal minds except worse. When the author gives you warnings about the triggers, please understand it isn’t just a line or a paragraph mentioning said triggers but pages of details. The kind of details that keep you up and make you keep the lights on.  With that said, I feel the prequel was necessary.  The author can spin a tale,  but what blew my mind was the way she navigated these dark waters.  I felt the gamut of emotions.  Third, this book is more of a dark romance but please be aware there are still triggers that come up as danger surrounds Lily once again.   Zeke and Lily’s relationship is complex as it layers over the past.  A past that starts to feel very “in the present”. The author’s understanding of the human mind and the way she presents it to us is very unique.  Her writing made an impression on me.  She wrenches emotions from the reader and is hardly breaking a sweat it seems. My compliments to the author!

This book is an absolute thick piece of an enticing romance full of love, betrayal, tenacity, and hope. It is a very graphic book, so please check trigger warnings and keep your mind safe as you read through this, because it does have detailed descriptions of SA and physical abuse. However, it absolutely sucked me and kept my attention as I started to delve into the Shamrock MC. I loved Lily, and the evolution of her character was fantastic. As I said, this is a very thick book, and while some parts are a little slower, the pace is set very well. The writing is a little different from what I’m used to, but it didn’t deter me from falling in love with the book or the characters. Highly recommend, and I’ll be waiting for book 2!

This book drew me in from the start. This story is full of drama, betrayal, angst, love, steamy moments, great characters and so much more. There are definitely trigger warnings. I had a hard time putting this down because the author kept me glued to the story with twists and turns. I found myself on the edge of my seat at times while reading because I became so engrossed in the story. You can feel the love between Zeke and Lilly but that doesn’t mean they don’t have some issues to work out. There are a few characters that I couldn’t stand which made the story that much better. This is a must read and I can’t wait until I can read the book in this trilogy. I highly recommend this book.

I didn’t realize there was a prequel to this book, so I doubled back and read it quickly. The sleep I lost while staying up reading these books was well worth it, and I would do it again in a heartbeat! My emotions didn’t know which way to go as I was pulled in every direction the entire time. It is intense, dangerous, romantic, steamy, and traumatic. I’ve never experienced such all encompassing emotions throughout one book and was completely taken by surprise multiple times. I am so fully invested in these characters, and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series!

This is the first book in this series but there is a prequel that helps set up a lot of the issues the FMC faces throughout this first book. Lilliana has been dealing with major issues caused by Alex (and let’s face it her father) that Zeke and Slash have to watch her deal with and help where she’ll let. This love triangle between her, Zeke and Slash will get you to change back and forth between her men. Then there’s the plot twists that throw you for a loop! This does end on a cliffhanger but book 2 is already out so dive in!!!

Sleeping with the Enemy (Astoria Royals, #3)Sleeping with the Enemy by Deborah Garland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love Deborah’s work and jumped to get Sleeping with the Enemy which is a deliciously dark Mafia romantic tale. It is a standalone Enemies to Lovers tale with a forced marriage theme. It is addictive and I stayed up late finish this book in one sitting because I had to know how it ended.
I love that the story is told in dual pov as it makes the story richer knowing what the other is thinking.
The story is intriguing and held my attention and I was often on the edge of my seat. There is plenty of passion and drama, lots of angst and Mafia politics that made for an exciting tale. I was totally addicted to this story.
There was so much going on whether in bed or in general. There are enemies, violence, drama, conflict, struggles, secrets, danger, lust, passion, and lots of emotions that go along with this saga. The sizzling chemistry between these two is palpable. Their relationship is explosive and tumultuous, hot and spicey in and out of the bedroom and add that to their daily lives and sparks fly! It is definitely.
It will keep you captivated and the pages turning. I have read a few of Deborah’s books and I really enjoy her writing style. The characters are strong, and the steamy romance is not smooth sailing it has complexities with twists and turns.
He is a possessive alpha and masterful manipulator to get what he wants. He is ruthless yet caring in his own way.
I highly recommend this book but be warned once you start you cannot stop.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reader discretion is advised as this story contains potentially triggering content.
This is the first time I have read anything by Bella, and I had only heard good things about her work and was excited to see what she had to offer. To say I am hooked is an understatement. I had to stop reading this and go back to the first book Craving Control which I devoured in one sitting. Sleep is overrated.
Tempting Fate is the first book in this highly emotional dark and angsty suspense love triangle romance story in the Black Shamrocks MC: Australia trilogy. I do love me some dark, raw and gritty MC stories.
What a ride this story is. There is so much going on, but the story flowed flawlessly. The ebbs and flows just right. The plot is well done. The psychological aspect is thrilling, and the highly flammable emotions twisted me up inside.
There are characters you hate to love and characters you love to hate and everything in between. I wanted to hug, slap and kick some ar*e along the way. Ok, I did say it was an emotional read.
Lilianna endured a nightmare one she didn’t know if she would ever come back from but survived now her worst nightmare is back and betrayal is everywhere. Her life is falling apart, and she is not sure which way is up anymore.
With buckets full of angst, betrayal, pain, hurt and fears and twists and turns it is a definite page turner.
It is dark, danger is looming, it is full of chemistry, it is steamy and sizzles right off the pages.
The ending, wow. Whelp you will need to read to find out for yourself. I literally can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.
If you love MC stories, with a dark psychological aspect then you can’t go any further without reading this.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an emotional rollercoaster of a read! For those readers sensitive to dark, frightening type triggers, this may not be the best story for you to read. Story focuses on Lily, who becomes part of the MC family along the side of Zeke and Slash, where a love triangle is embroiled. Her experiences I was truly, deeply able to empathize with what she’s gone through. You are able to detect Lily’s strength and resilience through it all! Through unfortunate circumstances, readers can appreciate the courage and bravery emitted from Lily’s situation. Even though parts of it were difficult to digest, I do look forward to the next installment to see where these characters are led into in the next story.
