Review: Enthralled (The Enslaved Duet Book 1) by Giana Darling

Review of Enthralled (The Enslaved Duet Book 1) by Giana Darling


ENTHRALLED


Cosima may be young, but she's no wilting little wallflower. She has a sharp tongue, an even sharper mind, and those things will serve her well when she's sold by her scumbag father to cover his large gambling debts. When Alexander, Lord Thornton, purchases young Cosima, he's got an agenda, one of vengeance and darkness. But somehow Cosima makes him feel things, and not just carnal, erotic things. But there are so many secrets swirling around our two lovers, so many outside forces that won't allow either of them a bit of lightness that they seem to bring each other. Will they ever get their day? Will they ever be allowed to just be with each other and allow the feelings they surely have for each other to just be? I'll have to wait until May, unfortunately, to find out, because yep there's a doozy of a cliffhanger, which is noted on the cover, because this is only part one of a duet. God, May cannot come soon enough!


First, a trigger warning: there are some pretty shady doings in Enthralled. It's fairly dark, so if you have triggers, I advise against reading this one. If, however, you, like me, like some dark in your reading, Enthralled should definitely be on your TBR list. It's sexy, it's suspenseful, and it kept me on the edge of my seat just dying to know what was going to happen next. I have to admit, though, and I know I'm in the minority here, but I didn't particularly like Alexander. Sure, he's a sexy, dominant guy, but he's an ass, and I hated how he treated Cosima. He needed to bare his soul to her, and he never did. I do think if he ever sees her again, he'll probably be so desperate to see her that he might be able to crack open that dark heart of his and blurt out at least some nice words of love or at least some type of deeper feelings. He better or else I'm gonna be even more annoyed at him than I already am. Anyway...I really liked this one, it's just as good as the last story of this author's that I read (Good Gone Bad) and it definitely kept my attention throughout. Now if only May would get here, stat!

My book boyfriends go with me everywhere. I prefer them tall, dark, and handsome, but I don’t discriminate. They sweep me off my feet and are always there when I need them—in my purse, in my car, and even in my bathtub. Book boyfriends may not be real, but at least they won’t break my heart… or get another girl pregnant. I don’t do relationships. I get one whiff and run in the opposite direction. It took me seven years to mend my broken heart, and I’m not about to hand it over again. That’s why I can’t fall for Beckett. With his Clark Kent glasses and brooding stare, he’s a superhero in disguise. And his superpower? Melting panties with a single

Cover Reveal: A Little Luck by Tia Louise

Tia Louise has revealed the covers for A Little Luck! Releasing December 14, 2023 Adam Stone is not a saint. He’s six-foot-two, naughty blue eyes, cocky grin, and a bod blessed by the gods. He’s a surfer, a soldier, a pilot, and he’s been my friend since I moved to our small town when we were just kids. But another man took my hand. He took my innocence, took my trust, and broke my heart. I was young. I didn’t know love could be a weapon. I didn’t know the hand that caressed you could also cut you. Now that man is dead, and I’m a single-mom survivor wearing a mask so perfect, no one knows the truth. Trust doesn’t come easy, and surviving is a hard habit to break. But when a plumbing disaster leaves me homeless, one night in Adam Stone’s (supposedly) empty bed changes everything. I’ve hidden my scars so long, I don’t know how else to be, but I want to try. I’m in love with Adam Stone. I love every glance, every wink, every furtive touch… He says he’s different. He sa
