Release Blitz & Review: Emperor of Lust

 

Emperor of Lust by Jagger Cole is now live!

To protect everything I love, I’m forced to marry a monster.

I made a huge mistake, and caught the attention of a lethally beautiful villain.

Damian Nikolayev is brutality incarnate. A psychopath wrapped in tattooed muscle and tailored charm.

Heir to a Bratva empire built on blood and control.

And now, I’m his. His fiancée. His plaything. His obsession.

He owns my darkest secret.

And he’ll keep it, for a price:

All of me.

Now, Damian has me bound to him, in more ways than one.

The harder I fight, the tighter his ropes ensnare me.

But his games are getting darker.

The line between lust and darkness is blurring.

And I’m starting to realize, there’s only one thing more dangerous than fake marrying a monster:

Really falling for one.


Emperor of Lust is a standalone dark mafia romance with a smart, untamable heroine, and an ultra possessive psycho hero with "look at her and I'll unalive you" energy. Readers are STRONGLY advised to read the TW inside. No cliffhanger; HEA included.

This is the 3rd book of the series and could be read as a stand alone but there would be spoilers from the first books. This is Hana Mori's story. Baby sister of the empire. She runs the money side of things for her big brother, head of the Yakuza mafia. But she is keeping secrets. 

When her biggest nemesis and family business partner -heir to the Bratva, finds her out, she worries he will out her to the family. When he finds out she gets off on having her power taken from her during s3x, he holds all the cards. When their families decide that in order to expand into Tokyo, they need and engaged couple as the front to their business, Hana's fate is sealed. 

Their 'pretend" engagement doesn't last long. These two are hot for each other!  

Once again, great mafia story telling. The steamy scenes are not my kink so I tend to breeze through those. The author does give us a chance to see some trust building and friendship develop beyond just the two of them getting off.  

So very intrigued by Tak's story coming soon. The heroine looks to be very interesting! 

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A reader first and foremost, Jagger Cole cut his romance writing teeth penning various fan-fiction stories years ago. After deciding to hang up his writing boots, Jagger worked in advertising pretending to be Don Draper. It worked enough to convince a woman way out of his league to marry him, though, which is a total win.

Now, Dad to two little princesses and King to a Queen, Jagger is thrilled to be back at the keyboard.

When not writing or reading romance books, he can be found woodworking, enjoying good whiskey, and grilling outside--rain or shine.

This was a wonderful addition to the series.  This is not a stand alone. You will have needed to read at least Forever My Girl before this one. Great Novella giving us Josie's POV from the very beginning. The love between Josie and Liam truly stands the test of time. The book gives us a better look at that first year of Liam being away from Josie and all she went through.

Fans of the series will love this intimate look and young Josie and her friends. 

Great addition to the series as a whole!

Release Blitz & Review: Formula Fling

 

Available exclusively at the Sawyer Bennett Bookstore! Welcome to Formula International, where legends are born and speed is king. From New York Times Bestselling Author Sawyer Bennett comes the Race Fever series, set within the fast-paced and dangerous world of formula racing. Posey Evans is looking to take her career as a romance author to the next level, shifting from historical love stories to writing about the high stakes world of formula racing. Wanting to immerse herself in the sport, Posey manages to secure full access to the Crown Velocity Racing team by faking credentials as a journalist. When she’s granted unlimited face-to-face time with one of the teams’ best drivers, Posey is equal parts elated and terrified because while she’s getting exactly what she wants, she can’t afford to have her secret exposed. Lex Hamilton lives for the thrill of being one of the fastest and most decorated race car drivers in the sport. When he’s behind the wheel, he’s focused on one thing and one thing only—earning top spot on the podium. But off the track? Let’s just say his extracurricular activities have put him on a very short leash with the team management at Crown Velocity. He’s cocky, handsome, dripping with swagger, and not super happy to have what he considers a babysitter following his every move. Lex’s unwillingness to help doesn’t deter Posey but when he uncovers her secret, they strike a deal—he won’t reveal her truth if she helps him stay out of trouble and keep his job. While many women would swoon at his feet, Posey isn’t interested in anything more than Lex’s racing knowledge. Mostly. As the season inches closer and passions ignite, time at the track leads to time in the bed. Having agreed there is an expiration date on their arrangement, what started as an assignment has the potential to go the distance as their physical relationship builds into something deeper. But when her secret is revealed, will Lex and Posey’s relationship hit a wall, or will this fling find its way to the checkered flag? Grab Formula Fling at the Sawyer Bennett Bookstore! Formula Fling (Race Fever, #1) releases at all other retailers on December 10, 2024! Preorder now: Amazon | Nook | Apple | Google | Kobo Audio will release LIVE on December 10! Formula Fling is narrated by Sean Masters and Kit Swann.

I admit that this is one of my least favorite tropes. The romance author falling in love is a bit on the nose for me. However, Ms Bennett rocked this one. I am totally out of the world of racing so each page turn had me wanting to learn more about the sport and about these two protentional partners. Posey was adorable. Just being her sweet self was enough to tame the bad boy Lex. Loved the side characters except for he shall not be named. As always--Woman Power! Loved seeing Brienne pop up from the author's hockey series. AND the next book will follow her racing team! Great start to a new series and for me anew sport. Looking forward to reading more. * Complementary copy provided for an honest review.
