Cover Reveal: Kill Switch by Penelope Douglas

I’m excited to share with you the cover of Kill Switch, the third book for The Devil’s Night Series. It’ll be Damon Torrance’s story, he’s the anti-hero in this series and I’m thrilled what’s in store for this book. *grabby hands*

Title: Kill Switch

Series: Devil’s Night Series

Genre: Erotic Suspense

Author: Penelope Douglas

Release Date: February 11, 2019

Synopsis:

 

WINTER

Sending him to prison was the worst thing I could’ve done. It didn’t matter that he did the crime or that I wished he was dead. Perhaps I thought I’d have time to disappear before he got out or he’d cool off in jail and be anything but the horror he was.

But I was wrong. Three years came and went too fast, and now he’s anything but calm. Prison only gave him time to plan.

And while I anticipated his vengeance, I didn’t expect this.

He doesn’t want to make me hurt. He wants to make everything hurt.

DAMON

First thing’s first. Get rid of her daddy. He told them I forced her. He told them his little girl was a victim, but I was a kid, too, and she wanted it just as much as I did.

Step two… Give her, her sister, and her mother nowhere to run and no fuel to escape. The Ashby women are alone now and desperate for a knight in shining armor.

But that’s not what’s coming.

No, it’s time I listened to my father and took control of my future. It’s time I showed them all—my family, her family, my friends—that I will never change and that I have no other ambition than to be the nightmare of their lives.

Starting with her.

She’ll be so scared, she won’t even be safe in her own head by the time I’m done with her. And the best part is I won’t have to break into her home to do it.

As the new man of the house I have all the keys.

Release Day Blitz: Royally Yours by Emma Chase

Princess Lenora Celeste Beatrice Arabella Pembrook had an unusual childhood. She was raised to be a Queen—the first Queen of Wessco.

It’s a big deal.

When she’s crowned at just nineteen, the beautiful young monarch is prepared to rule. She’s charming, clever, confident and cunning.

What she isn’t…is married.

It’s her advising council’s first priority. It’s what Parliament is demanding, and what her people want.

Lenora has no desire to tie herself to a man—particularly one who only wants her for her crown. But compromises must be made and royals must do their duty.

Even Queens. Especially them.

**

Years ago, Edward Langdon Richard Dorian Rourke, walked away from his title and country. Now he’s an adventurer—climbing mountains, exploring jungles, going wherever he wants, when he wants—until family devotion brings him home.

And a sacred promise keeps him there.

To Edward, the haughty, guarded little Queen is intriguing, infuriating…and utterly captivating. Wanting her just might drive him mad—or become his greatest adventure.

**

Within the cold, stone walls of the royal palace—mistrust threatens, wills clash, and an undeniable, passionate love will change the future of the monarchy forever.

Every dynasty has a beginning. Every legend starts with a story.

This is theirs.

That’s What He Said Thursday:

That’s what He said Thursday is hosted by chapterbreak.net . In this meme, we get to post a favorite line from our favorite book boyfriends to their heroine. This is more of a dialogue kind of post and it’s not a physical description of the hero but a line spoken to their heroines. (for more information click here )

“Alana was my first love and I’ll never forget her. She’s a part of me and always will be. But I know it’s time to move forward, it’s time to start living in the after. You’re that for me, Liv. You’re the love of my life.”

The Sweetest Oblivion by Danielle Lori

Pages: 380

Goodreads Rating: 4.42 / 5 stars

My Rating: 3 / 5 stars

Genre: New Adult, Contemporary Romance, Mafia Romance

Publication Date: June 20th 2018

Summary:

Add to Goodreads

She’s a romantic at heart, living in the most unromantic of worlds . . .

Nicknamed Sweet Abelli for her docile nature, Elena smiles on cue and has a charming response for everything. She’s the favored daughter, the perfect mafia principessa . . . or was.

Now, all she can see in the mirror’s reflection is blood staining her hands like crimson paint.

They say first impressions are everything . . .

In the murky waters of New York’s underworld, Elena’s sister is arranged to marry Nicolas Russo. A Made Man, a boss, a cheat—even measured against mafia standards. His reputation stretches far and wide and is darker than his black suits and ties. After his and Elena’s first encounter ends with an accidental glare on her part, she realizes he’s just as rude as he is handsome.

She doesn’t like the man or anything he stands for, though that doesn’t stop her heart from pattering like rain against glass when he’s near, nor the shiver that ghosts down her spine at the sound of his voice.

And he’s always near. Telling her what to do. Making her feel hotter than any future brother-in-law should. Elena may be the Sweet Abelli on the outside, but she’s beginning to learn she has a taste for the darkness, for rough hands, cigarettes, and whiskey-colored eyes. Having already escaped one scandal, however, she can hardly afford to be swept up in another.

Besides, even if he were hers, everyone knows you don’t fall in love with a Made Man . . . right?

This is a standalone forbidden romance.

Summary:

Add to Goodreads

A series of chance encounters leads to a sizzling new romance from the New York Times bestselling author of the On Dublin Street series. 

The universe is conspiring against Ava Breevort. As if flying back to Phoenix to bury a childhood friend wasn’t hell enough, a cloud of volcanic ash traveling from overseas delayed her flight back home to Boston. Her last ditch attempt to salvage the trip was thwarted by an arrogant Scotsman, Caleb Scott, who steals a first class seat out from under her. Then over the course of their journey home, their antagonism somehow lands them in bed for the steamiest layover Ava’s ever had. And that’s all it was–until Caleb shows up on her doorstep.

When pure chance pulls Ava back into Caleb’s orbit, he proposes they enjoy their physical connection while he’s stranded in Boston. Ava agrees, knowing her heart’s in no danger since a) she barely likes Caleb and b) his existence in her life is temporary. Not long thereafter Ava realizes she’s made a terrible error because as it turns out Caleb Scott isn’t quite so unlikeable after all. When his stay in Boston becomes permanent, Ava must decide whether to fight her feelings for him or give into them. But even if she does decide to risk her heart on Caleb, there is no guarantee her stubborn Scot will want to risk his heart on her….

The Beauty and the Beast Book Tag

I was tagged forever ago by Ari of The Romance Corner to do this tag. Thank you for tagging me, Ari! Sorry I’m so late for this. (>.<)  Definitely go check out her blog if you love awesome book discussions and book recommendations especially romance novels.

Rules:

-Thank the person who tagged you.

-Mention the creator → Kirsty @ Kirsty and the Cat Read.

-Match a book to each of the songs/characters below.

-Tag as many people as you like.

“Tale As Old As Time” – A popular theme, trope or setting you’ll never get bored of reading

• Enemies to lovers will forever entertain me. This trope is my jam because I love stories with angst and tension. The romance is always explosive and I’m a sucker for this.

Belle – A book you brought for its beautiful cover that’s just as beautiful inside too. 

• I got One Day Soon by A. Meredith Walters for the #NALitLoversPH monthly buddy reads and my goodness, this book has a stunning cover and its story is emotionally beautiful. I SOBBED.

Beast – Book you didn’t expect much from but pleasantly surprised you.

• The Host by Stephenie Meyer isn’t as well loved as the Twilight Saga. I dive in with low expectations and this chunky book is twice better than Twilight Saga in terms of  writing, characters, plot and romance.

Gaston – A book that everyone loves that you don’t

• I still don’t get why people love this poetry book. It’s uninspiring, bland and ordinary.

Lefou – A loyal sidekick you can’t help but love more than their counter part

• MY BOY KENJI KISHIMOTO from Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi. I love this dude. No explanations needed.

Mrs. Pott, Chip & Cogsworth  – A book that helped you through a difficult time or that taught you something valuable

• During my teenage years, I had difficulties socializing with people and one time I was left out. It was a terrible feeling. The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky taught me to be honest with yourself and don’t be afraid to express your feelings.

“Something There” –  A book or a series that you wasn’t into at first but picked up towards the end

 

• L.J. Shen’s books are a hit or miss for me but I grew to love her Sinners of Saint series. I wasn’t even a fan of the first book but its second (Ruckus) and final book (Bane) were my favorites.

“Be Our Guest” –  A fictional character you’d love to have over for dinner

• I’d love to have a dinner with my favorite swoon-worthy male lead Professor Gabriel Emerson from Gabriel’s Inferno by Sylvain Reynard. Maybe a private intimate dinner in the orchard.  Let me have a moment with my Dante. Sincerely, Beatrice 😉

I’ve waited years for the perfect girl, yet she was right in front of me all along.

My best friend, Natalie, has been by my side through everything. Leaning on my shoulder, borrowing my sweatshirts…and making my pants too tight when she flashes me that sassy smile that drives me crazy.

But she has no idea about that last part. She doesn’t have a clue I’ve felt this way about her for years.

Until one night after too many cocktails, we fall into bed together.

I’m flirting with my forever…she just doesn’t know it yet.

This book is a sexy, slow-burning best-friends-to-lovers romance with a guaranteed HEA and no cheating. Dive in, and get ready to melt for Cam!
