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!

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
