Synopsis

Dexter crossed with 50 Shades: enter a world filled with dark secrets, twisted lies, and dirty desires...

I’m coming for her…

I’ve watched her, I’ve hunted her, and now I’m here to claim her - Celeste Riley, my pretty little angel. Soon to be my pretty little captive.
She pretends she’ll never want a killer like me, but we both know that isn’t true. On the outside, she’s pure and innocent, but on the inside she’s just as dirty and twisted as me. Just as broken.
One way or another, I’m going to make her accept her fate. Make her submit. Make her mine.
Forever. 

My Thoughts:

Let's be honest they had me at Dexter crossed with 50 Shades.

What a great series. This series was so addictive that I could not put it down. It's over and I’m feeling book hangover.

There are a couple of triggers so definitely be aware of those before reading.  Triggers including: adult language, elements of BDSM, and violence (murder, rape, assault, torture, abuse, kidnapping & stalking). If any of these are triggers or offensive to you, then this may not be the book or series.

I highly recommend !

Shon's March 2019 TBR

Happy First Day of March, Bookworms!!

February flew by faster than I expected, and it's now time to get ready for March! I have another somewhat ambitions TBR for this brand new month, but I'm determined to get through most of these books, especially series that I've started in the past but haven't yet finished.

Here are just a few books that I'm hoping to read this month!

Books I'm Reading:

• Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare
• Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams
• Ship of Smoke and Steel by Django Wexler

e-Books I'm reading:

• The Fever King by Victoria Lee
• Boyfriend for Hire by Kendall Ryan
• Intercepted by Alexa Martin
• The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory
• The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory
• Faking It by K. Bromberg
• The Dirty Ones by J.A. Huss

Normally I would be a little overwhelmed with a TBR this size, but I had really good reading months in both January and February, so I'm hoping I can keep it up in March!

I also have a pretty good bit of audiobooks that I'm hoping to listen to as well, but I'm not going to list all of those here.

That's what I'm planning to read this month! What's on your March TBR??

Happy Reading!!!

Title: The Priory of the Orange Tree
Author: Samantha Shannon

A world divided.
A queendom without an heir.
An ancient enemy awakens.

The House of Berethnet has ruled Inys for a thousand years. Still unwed, Queen Sabran the Ninth must conceive a daughter to protect her realm from destruction—but assassins are getting closer to her door.

Ead Duryan is an outsider at court. Though she has risen to the position of lady-in-waiting, she is loyal to a hidden society of mages. Ead keeps a watchful eye on Sabran, secretly protecting her with forbidden magic.

Across the dark sea, Tané has trained all her life to be a dragonrider, but is forced to make a choice that could see her life unravel.

Meanwhile, the divided East and West refuse to parley, and forces of chaos are rising from their sleep.

Becoming by Michelle Obama

Becoming by Michelle Obama
Published November 13th 2018 by Crown Books
Genres: Autobiography, Nonfiction, Memoir
Page: 426
Rating: 5 of 5 stars
Review by: Tina

 
In this memoir, Michelle gets personal, honest, intimate. Through her eyes, you see her beginnings, her passion for more than corporate law, and falling in love with Barack. 

She talks about facing adversity, speaking for the black communities, fighting for women equality, and her struggles with pregnancy.

She keeps boundaries that helps her in seeking strength and sanity. Her choice to leave politics to Barack and battle against Food and Beverage businesses that serve sugar and soft drinks in school lunches to promoting fresh food and eating right campaign to building a vegetable garden at the White House.  

She speaks about the sacrifices Barack made for his country and family. Outside counseling that helped nurture their relationship. Their families and backgrounds that shaped who they are and their discontent and frustration for bigger dreams and a better world. Seeing Malia and Sasha going up in the White House.

This last line Michelle says ending the Barack administration really touched me. "It has to hurt that he entered fatherhood as a politician and so close to having more freedom just when his daughters are about to enter college. But we have to let them go, the world is theirs, as it should be."

Inspirational and heart felt.
