Stories are the very fabric of life. I want to transport readers to exotic settings, where they can find romance and happy endings and hopefully bring some back to their daily lives. Portugal brims with beauty and passion, and I research every tiny detail of my novels, hoping to make the reader treasure my grandparents’ country as I do. I have a loving husband who still is my hero and two amazing kids. When it’s cold and rainy, I run inside to read and watch movies under blankets, sipping wine. You can find me on the beach during summer, surfing with my family.

Song of Earth and Claws (Faelands Series) by Lena Abram – Review by Santana Hicks

Song of Earth and ClawsSong of Earth and Claws by Lena Abram
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lannahi once thought she was in love with a man, that is until she finds out that he was using her to take revenge on those who had wronged his father. Then he cursed her so that she could never tell anyone of his plans or escape him in the future. The Fae win kingdoms by challenging the current ruler. Lannahi decides the only way to escape her ex is by challenging the Queen of a winter kingdom mostly inhabited by landshapers. She wins but the former queen tells her that she will never be accepted. Lannahi fears that she was right. She can’t trust anyone within her new Kingdom. They are either loyal to the former queen or to the land.

Lannahi needs to watch her back no matter where she goes. Without allies she could easily lose her throne just as fast as she took it. Will she be able to retain her throne or die trying?

I enjoyed this book. The author took the time to let us get to know Lannahi as a person before she came into power. The author voiced Lannahi’s thought process to show where she was coming from with all of her decisions and to show that she is a strong, independent woman who doesn’t need a prince or king to make her name known. She will stop at nothing to live free.

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet #2)A Heart So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second part of The Savage Duet and it does not disappoint. This is a dark romance and has so much steam that I was left fanning myself while reading. It is so, so, so good. If you haven’t read the first book in this duo, I highly suggest you do that and then come back to this one. This way you have an amazing understanding as to what is happening. There are many twists and turns in this book. The ending is one that is left to where the author could continue with the story line or leave it as is. I can only hope that we will get more because it was that good. The many decisions that are made by the characters in this book show growth and deep character development. I love when a bad boy can do good things but doesn’t loose his edge. I found myself actually somewhat liking a few characters that I haven’t liked at all. The ending is what did it for me. This book was masterfully written and will have you turning pages faster than you can read them. You will be sitting on the edge of your seat at some parts of the book and flushing at others. I highly recommend this quick paced read because it will have you riveted from the beginning.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The wait is finally over! I was so excited for this book to come out! This book takes place after the first book. In the first book I was not a fan of either Kingston or Carson. Towards the end I was slowly warming up Kingston but I wasn’t just quite there yet. I was so glad to see more of Ava’s character development in this book too. Kingston in this book we got to see more of his thought process and get more of a backstory with everything going on. I felt like it wrapped up a lot of loose ends and question’s I had. I still don’t like Carson and still think he’s the scum of the Earth. The word building in this was wonderfully done as the first one. The story progressed fairly well, and I didn’t have that “omg there’s only 50 pages left and so much left to be wrapped up” anxiety that some books give me. I loved reading this book and will definitely be adding it to my physical copy shelf along with the first one!

So I absolutely loved the first book. I thought it was a great enemies to lovers vibe, forced proximity, full of denial for what the characters felt for each other. But good lord, was this book an action and smut filled absolute BANGER of a sequel! I felt myself falling for Kingston a little more and more as the book progressed, and the incredibly sweet ending had me tearing up a little. I absolutely loved and adored this duet. Please, read it! The author is phenomenal and I can’t wait to see what she does next!!

This fantasy story will keep you reading. The author provides tons of details and has very believable characters. Lannahi has been overlooked and underestimated but it’s time for the Games and it’s time for her to prove herself. But can she trust who she thinks or will she be betrayed like her family was? Very good book with a very similar vibe to GOT and LotR.

Dark romance, forced proximity… count me in. Ava’s brother owes Kingston a debt, his perfect excuse to get his hands on Ava. Ava has been through so much since her parents passed, but remains positive, where Kingston is ruthless and savage at all ends. This story is full of feist, angst, passion, pain and spice! I am very excited for book 2.

This is book 1 of Jade. An age gap romance of 2 people that were never meant to be together. Nasser was broken and lost and only Jade seemed to be able to pull him back to the land of the living. Jade was broken in her own ways. Together they find what they each need even though everyone tries to keep them apart. It was a good story with a compelling story. This story will continue in book 2.

This is the 2 book in the Shadow Defense Security Series. I have not read the first book in the series but after reading this one i am going to have to go back and read it. This book was so good. Regan and Pavlo tolerate each other at best. The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat. The dynamic between the characters is amazing.

Let me tell you, I simply could not put this book down. This novel is just masterfully written to tug on your emotions, the imagery and scene building is just beautiful, and the magic aspect was just so intriguing to me. Lannahi’s tale was an enchanting roller coaster every step of the way and I loved it. I would find myself thinking about it as i did things throughout the day, and I just had to keep coming back to it! If you’re looking for something new and you enjoy fantasy, I wholeheartedly recommend Lena’s work!

This is the second book in the series and it’s amazing!! It picks up where book 1 left off. In the second installment we get more of Kingston’s pov and inner dialogue that helps explain his sometimes over the top actions over Ava. Ava’s problematic brother comes in as well again and it’s possible Ms. Moran has redeemed him enough to give him his own book in the future. This is the end of this particular set but again, maybe she’ll give us some more in the future!!

This is the first book to the Savage Duet books and it is great. Ava is kidnapped by Kingston due to a debt that her brother owes. The problem is everyone around wants her too.

The Alien & the Crime BossThe Alien & the Crime Boss by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Alien & the Crime Boss is a short sci-fi romance featuring, as the title suggests, an alien and a crime boss. Leilphun has fled his home world to Earth, a planet he knows only through stories. He is immediately taken prisoner by Kasper, who is untrusting due to the multiple crime families who want him dead.

I like how Leilphun and Kasper warm to each other over the course of the story and learn to trust. It’s also fun to see Leilphun experiencing Earth for the first time and learning how to fit in. While the shorter format makes this a great book to read in one sitting, I’d have enjoyed more time both for the development of Leilphun and Kasper’s relationship and to see Leilphun exploring human life.

I’ve enjoyed many books by this author before and this will appeal to fans. I like the originality of her characters and the scenarios they find themselves in. It’s also always great to come across LGBTQ+ characters in genre fiction!

This book gets four stars from me. If you’re at all intrigued by the title, give it a read! It’s such a short read you’ll be able to satisfy your curiosity as well as getting a taste for the author’s style.

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet #2)A Heart So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kingston and Ava have returned shortly after the events at the end of book 1. Ava continues to fall further into her confusion over her feelings for King. In his own way, he protects her – while he keeps her captive. There’s no doubt his “punishments” have taught her some things about her desires and her body. He breaks and rebuilds her time and again, yet she still yearns for freedom. Maybe not freedom from him, but freedom to at least make her own decisions once in awhile. Would she abandon Kingston if given the right opportunity? He has handled some threats against her and is working to solve some more, while keeping her locked up. If he has to handle extra danger to protect Ava and keep her safe, then so be it. But as much as he makes dark decisions, her safety is his main priority.

As you see some seriously terrible decisions being made here, you also get to learn about what King and Oliver had to endure as kids, and what a terrorist their father was within their own homes. It’s no wonder they don’t do better – they were never shown better, and the abuse they suffered changed them as people. Their father was the REAL monster, terrorizing his wives and children. We also learn throughout the book how King feels about Ava, and battling the actual love he holds for her – until she is seriously injured and King feels the terror of what his life would be like without her. What way will Ava’s decision go – is she going to accept King’s way and admit her desires, or is she going to get out? Will the Winter family be able to protect her from all of the dangers in her path?

A King So Savage (The Savage Duet #1)A King So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When Ava Blue was a sophomore in college, her parents died and left her and her brother Carson as orphans. Their parents were very wealthy and left them a hefty inheritance with multiple protectives put in place by their lawyer father to protect them from the impulsive decisions of youth. What they didn’t consider, though – was Carson’s hatred and mistreatment of Ava and dedication to blowing through every cent he could get his hands on. While he was living large, Ava paid only for bare necessities and saved her allowance from the inheritance and stowed it away.

We open the story with Ava coming to after being drugged and kidnapped by the men of Kingston Winter, the head of the Winter family brought up under his absolute tyrant of a father – until his stepmother shot him and then herself. Since then, Kingston has accepted the role of leader of the family, continued to amass massive fortunes, made decisions he didn’t want to but had to, and has wanted Ava Blue since he first set eyes on her as a teenager. Now, Carson has blown through a fortune, borrowed money from anyone willing to loan it, and owes the Winter family to the tune of 2.6 MILLION dollars. He kidnapped Ava as an excuse, hoping Carson doesn’t pay. Regardless, now that Ava is in his possession, he doesn’t intend to let her go.

There’s a lot happening in this book, and I’m constantly cheering on Ava as she taps into her inner wildcat. King is a man used to getting what he wants, no matter the consequences. In many instances, it is against the wishes of someone else and the situation with Ava is no different. Kingston is a gorgeous man, but absolutely brutal – he has no problem taking whatever he desires regardless of other peoples feelings about it, and he treats Ava no differently. In spite of his brutality, Ava is completely drawn to him and disgusted by him and his proposition. While he pretends to consider selling Ava and her virginity to recoup Carson’s debt to him, the reality is that he claimed her long ago. Will Ava resist her attraction and get away, or will King keep her?

This book is an incredible follow up to the first book and I could not wait to get my hands on it and start reading. This book is everything I was hoping for and I read it all in one sitting. It is just as dark, gritty and intense as the first book and I loved the further detail we get for the characters.
Kingston and Ava are not your typical couple, and are a couple that won’t be suitable for all readers. But for those who are a fan of this type of book, they are some of the best. I loved both of them because they weren’t perfect. They were flawed, dangerous and captivating. Their connection made them more real and I could have easily kept reading about them. This book was incredible and I would love to see more from this series in the future.

Song of Earth and ClawsSong of Earth and Claws by Lena Abram
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Taking control of her own fate. This is the first book I have read by the immensely talented Lena Abram’s and all I gotta say is wow. Day one of 2024 and I already have a favorite author of the year. Lannahi, daughter of King Sarkal and Queen Asirri of Goldenshadows is more than just a singer.
Lannahi is the youngest of three, brother Maal fifteen years older and sister Letiri ten years older. Due to the large age gaps, she was never very close to her siblings but when she became twenty years old both took great interest in her along with many others. The purpose was to see how powerful she was. Alas the interest in her was short lived when their father introduced her to the court as a singer and not a princess. Both felt she was no longer a threat but could be a pawn in the Royal Games. Nihhal, is the son of prince reigning over one of her fathers’ cities and due to his father’s enslavement after a loss has a grand plan of revenge that Lannahi is key. When he reveals his ultimate plans to her, he does so with a charm, if she tries to warn or tell anyone of his plans she will suffocate before she can finish. With no other choice Lannahi is truly her mother’s daughter and decides to take her survival and thus her fate into her own hands. She has finally reached the age of twenty-five and is now old enough to attend the Royal Sabbaths and can declare a challenge to another royal for their title and lands. Only she meets someone unexpected, Ashared, a mixed blood landshaper/shapeshifter. With whom has ties to the woman she has challenged. The Queen of Goldfrost is her target and the date is set… her only brief hesitation to her surprise is how Ashared will see the challenge.
What will happen after the duel? Can she truly win against a landshaper? Will Nihhal accept that she is out of his reach, or will he follow her to enact his revenge? The world the author builds is one built of magic, and fae but also reality in how people only ever let you see what they want you to. Secrets don’t only hide in the shadows, sometimes the friend beside you turns out to be the enemy you were fighting. She searched and dreamed of a love like her parents’ and found it in a place she never thought possible. I will certainly be keeping an eye out for more from this author. Can’t wait to see what she has in store next.

Song of Earth and ClawsSong of Earth and Claws by Lena Abram
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Song of Earth and Claws starts a bit slow as there is quite a bit of world-building, as is usual in stories of the Fae. The reader needs to be able to understand the rules to understand the motivations of the main character.
Lannahi is the youngest daughter of King Sarkal, king of Goldenshadows and Queen Asirri, Sarkal’s wife and Knight. Her older siblings are princes & princesses of their kingdoms under King Sarkal.
Kingdoms are won and lost in the Moon Games that happen every month, according to the Rules, but not everyone plays by the rules.
Lannahi is a musician with little power, but she realises that she cannot trust anyone, not even her family, as they will all use her as a pawn to gain and keep their own power and kingdoms.
When Lannahi is betrayed by Nihhal, an enchanter she loves, she is forced to participate in the Game and duel for a kingdom to protect herself from him and his plans for her. Losing is not an option as losing means slavery.
Winning the duel is just the start of Lannahi finding herself and her power in a kingdom quite different to her home, and with people who view her and her friends with much suspicion.
Navigating a hostile ex-queen, the man she is attracted to but cannot trust, wild werewolf factions, an ex-lover who betrayed her, and siblings she cannot trust, whilst holding onto her kingdom is a delicate balancing act.
Lena Abram has crafted a fine stand-alone novel that could just as easily become the first in a series

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a really entertaining fantasy read. It contains everything you would expect from a fantasy adventure, fantasy beings, danger, excitement, enemies from far and wide and some even closer to home, and romance. In this story there is also family angst and drama as it felt to me that all of Lannahi’s siblings were constantly waiting for the moment to turn against her and stab her in the back.

Lannahi wants to make her own way in the world. She doesn’t want to be under someone else rule for the rest of her life so to do that she needs to either take over someone else’s kingdom or create her own. However that isn’t as simple as it sounds as even the parts not under the control of a ruler still have their own supernatural beings who aren’t to happy to have someone trying to take control over them.

So now Lannahi has to gather people around her to help her succeed in this game and progress herself further so she can become a ruler. But with everyone wanting the same thing can she really trust the people around her or are they just using her as a stepping stone to get ahead in the game.

The author goes into a lot of detail that really brings the world to life however for me I got a bit lost with the Game. I felt it wasn’t explained as well as it could have been whereas other aspects of the story were explained in greater depth.

Overall it was an enjoyable read which a strong female character which I love and I am excited to see what else the author has planned for this fantasy world.

Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series Book 2)Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller by Mavery Ellscott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shadowed Agenda is a part of the Shadow Defense Security Series. Regan Christenson and Pavlo Barislov are like oil and water. In other words, they don’t mix. The two are forced together on a book tour…they even write books in two completely different genres. They avoid one another and only interact when they need to, and usually when they do, it’s full of snark. All that changes when Regan’s life is threatened when she refuses to do a private book signing for a woman who just may well be the next First Lady. The sole person who can protect her is Pavlo. As the two spend more time together, they discover their first opinions of one another were all wrong, and that snark may have been hiding a desire for the another.

I will be completely honest. I wasn’t sure how I was going to like this book because it involved politics, and I get enough of that every day on the news. However, I quickly changed my mind as that didn’t dominate the book! Yes, it was a part of the plot that drove the story, but it didn’t take away anything from the actual book itself. The pacing was spot-on, and the twists and turns kept me guessing. Just when I thought I knew who the bad guy was, Ellscott would flip the script on me, and I was second-guessing myself. I couldn’t stop flipping the pages to see what the final outcome would be.

I loved Regan and Pavlo. They were complex characters, and with each chapter told in their own POVs, another layer of who they were was revealed. Both of them had some serious trust issues. They had each loved someone with everything they had to have their hearts and their trust in love destroyed. Regan and Pavlo also dealt with that differently. Regan wouldn’t even consider a relationship much less a one-night stand, and one-night stands were all that Pavlo could offer a woman. Each of them was fiercely independent and determined. Pavlo was dedicated to his job with Shadow Defense, and Regan was dedicated to her daughter, Emmeline.

The secondary characters also added a layer to the story. Characters were not always who I thought they were. In fact, that was part of the guessing game for me as well. Because of my uncertainty about their agenda, the epilogue was such a treat for me. It was one of my favorite parts of the book.

It’s been quite a while since I have read romantic suspense, and Mavery Ellscott reminded me why I love this genre. She did a fantastic job of combining mystery, intrigue, and romance. She is a new author for me, and I’m so glad I got the chance to discover how talented she is. I will be reading more from her in the future!!!

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet #2)A Heart So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ava is struggling to come to terms with her situation, lock in the fortress of Kingston Winter can’t be that bad but when she discovers that her brother has abandoned her and she is not getting out of the gilded castle she starts to drawn to Kingston.

Kingston has always collected things and Ava is no exception to the rule but when he has this compulsion and attraction to her he is more in protection mode and wants her to be his forever. All things are complicated her drives her too the point that although she hates him she can’t live without him also.

Can there situation move further into a relationship or is Kingston incapable of being that close to her or have his feelings brought out in the open?

This is the second half to the story and to be honest this is not a book to read independently, you will need to understand the back story to really appreciate this book and the dynamics between the two characters. As the first book the characters open up more and you get to see the true them in this story. Ava although in the first book I thought was strong and sassy shows more in this story and you get to she her strength and the struggles of understanding something is not right but having this obsession with Kingston was great to read.

Kington’s character would be classed as an a antihero but as you read more of his thoughts and desires in this story you get to understand him more as you read through the book. The chemistry between these characters is off the chart and will have you turning the pages to find out what happened next.

The story is well constructed and written brilliantly with the passion and chemistry just jumps off the screen. I can’t wait to read more books by this author.

In this book we got to see more of what Kingston and his brother Oliver’s relationship was like. Ava is afraid of Oliver and she has good reason to be. Even though Kingston makes threats against her, he still wants to protect her. Ava still wants her freedom, but her growing feelings for Kingston are making her second guess whether that is what she truly wants. I enjoyed this book just as much as the first one. I started reading this on my lunch break at work and couldn’t wait to get home to finish the book.

Kai Serrano, Hollywood director, needs a Navy SEAL to be a consultant on her next film. What she neither needs, nor wants, is to be distracted by him, even if he is every woman’s ideal military action hero.

Waters is a man with no identity. Even if someone knew his real name, it would only lead them to a dead man. He cannot afford to get distracted by an attractive, sassy director. Relationships are not allowed, even if he wanted one.

Kai and Waters work well together, but there’s trouble brewing on the set. Items are going missing, accidents are on the rise, and Kai’s office and living space have been broken into. To top it all off, now her brother is missing, but it’s unclear if he’s been kidnapped or hiding out.

It’s clear Kai is in danger, but from whom? Is it her executive producer who attempts to belittle her at every turn? Is she leverage in her brother’s disappearance? Or does she unknowingly have something she shouldn’t?

With the stakes this high, are Kai and Waters good enough to figure out what’s going on without falling for each other in the process?

Trigger Warning: This book contains a violent assault. Content throughout is for mature readers.

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet Book 2) by April Moran

A Heart So Savage is the second book in The Savage Duet. This is a Dark Romance that will have you turning the pages till the end. I do highly suggest reading the first book in this duet as this picks up right where book one leaves us. I also want to warn there may ne some triggers in this story but if you can push through them it’s worth trying. I loved everything about this book. It’s raw, loaded with danger, suspense, plenty of steamy sex and so much more. Ava and Kingston these two frustrated me at times but man oh man. He’s claimed her and she’s being held as payment for a huge debt her brother owes him. You guys are in for quite the ride. Hang on tight. I don’t want to give away anything. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.
