Neon Gods by Katee Robert (Dark Olympus #1)

 

💜💙💜💙💜

A hotter-than-sin mythology retelling! Neon Gods is filled with drama, angst, romance, intrigue, and enough heat that it should light the pages of your book on fire.

Persephone will win you from the first moment, with her innocence and love for her sisters, she's torn between her freedom and family obligations. She has the biggest heart and is the perfect person to challenge Hades.

Hades...dear sweet heavens, that man is the epitome of everything I want in a book boyfriend: tough as nails, a born leader, protective of those he cares about, but as gentle as a teddy bear when it counts.

I've never been drawn into a world as deeply as this one, and I never wanted this story to end. Katee Robert is a magical storyteller and is a one-click author for me every time!

SUMMARY:

He was supposed to be a myth. But from the moment I crossed the River Styx and fell under his dark spell...he was, quite simply, mine.

Society darling Persephone Dimitriou plans to flee the ultra-modern city of Olympus and start over far from the backstabbing politics of the Thirteen Houses. But all that's ripped away when her mother ambushes her with an engagement to Zeus, the dangerous power behind their glittering city's dark façade.

With no options left, Persephone flees to the forbidden undercity and makes a devil's bargain with a man she once believed a myth...a man who awakens her to a world she never knew existed.

Hades has spent his life in the shadows, and he has no intention of stepping into the light. But when he finds that Persephone can offer a little slice of the revenge he's spent years craving, it's all the excuse he needs to help her -- for a price. Yet every breathless night spent tangled together has given Hades a taste for Persephone, and he'll go to war with Olympus itself to keep her close...

A modern retelling of Hades and Persephone that's as sinful as it is sweet.

The Kiss Plot by Nicole French (Quicksilver #2)

💄💄💄💄💄

Nothing, and I mean nothing, can prepare you for this book! I thought The Hate Vow was amazingly brutal...The Kiss Plot will leave you with such a book hangover, you'll be begging for the final installment.

A series of events from the previous book need to be resolved: Are Eric and Jane actually married? Who is Janus? Did Jane's father really just appear out of nowhere, on the same day she found out he even existed?

This book will take you on quite the plot twisting turn of events, and will keep you in suspense until the final page. Don't miss out on the Quicksilver series!

💋 Romance

Summary:

Jane and Eric de Vries.

Often enemies. Sometimes lovers.

Husband and wife. Or are we?

I wore the dress. We said the vows.

And somehow it became more than just a stunt to collect his billions.

A promise bound by love, not hate.

Until he humiliated me in front of all of New York and disappeared.

Now my errant husband has returned and it's like I never existed.

Except when he looks at me like he wants to rip my dress from my body.

Something's holding him back. And I won't rest until I discover its cause.

See, this wild heir is about to find out: karma's a fickle mistress.

My weapons? Batting eyelashes, high heels, and that red lipstick he can't resist.

I'll break down his mask, little by little. And then I'll make him pay for what he did.

I just need to keep my heart in check while I do it.

The Bastard's Bargain by Katee Robert (The O'Malleys #6)

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

The Bastard's Bargain is the 6th and final book in the O'Malley series. I've both been dreading and counting down to Keira's story, mainly cuz she's such a loose cannon and Dmitri Romanov is a tyrant that I've hated to love from the beginning of the series.

The genuine chemistry and affection between the main characters will win over any doubts you may have, leaving you rooting for a happy ending, that doesn't look possible. Nobody knows who they can trust and everyone is the enemy.

With the ever-looming fear of their enemy getting closer and trying to discover who the inside mole is, the families are forced to come together or they'll lose it all.

I've listened to the entire series on Audible, own them in paperback, and it definitely helps to bring the stories to life. The accents are perfect, and the addition of being able to close your eyes at certain parts is helpful, lol. Don't read these books out of order though, there's too much to be missed if you read this as a stand alone book.

Synopsis:

When Keira O'Malley was a child, she used to picture her perfect wedding. The flowers. The dress. Her husband. But nothing could have prepared her for saying "I do" to Dmitri Romanov - cold, domineering, and always one step ahead of everyone else in the ever-shifting power plays of New York City. She agreed to his bargain to secure peace for her family, and she may want the bastard more than she'd ever admit, but she'll be damned if she'll make this marriage easy for him.

Dmitri knows better than to underestimate Keira for one second. Molten desire smolders between them, a dangerous addiction neither can resist. But his enemies are already on the move, and he needs every ounce of his legendary focus and control to keep them alive. Keira could just be his secret weapon - if she doesn't bring him to his knees first.

The Hate Vow by Nicole French (Quicksilver #1)

❤❤❤❤❤

An arranged marriage with someone you used to be in love with, who broke your heart and ability to trust...throw in an unknown part of your past hell-bent to destroy your impending plans, what could go wrong?

Filled with the anger of lost love and broken hearts, this story will captivate you with every twist and turn, especially the moments you don't expect. Several mysteries keep you on your toes and guessing until the end.

The witty banter is entertaining, while the explosive chemistry should come with a warning label. I love a book that I can't figure out the ending to, it's a refreshing change. I loved Eric and Jane's story and can't wait for more in this series!

Brief Summary:
Eric de Vries is happy with his own career, that he established on his own, away from his family. When his grandmother blackmails him into marriage or to sacrifice the family business and the inheritance his family expects, he's forced to turn to the one person he could see by his side...Jane Lee Lefferts - the one person who hates his guts after he broke her heart.

Arrange Me by Katy Regnery (The Arranged Duo #1)

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

For the last year, Courtney Jane Salinger has had one bad date after another. Finally ready to be done with the humdrum of dating, she discovers a service that matches up people ready for marriage.

Josh Dalton has been watching Courtney come into the bar every Friday with her best friend for the last year. He flirts freely, but dating a customer is definitely on his list of things he won't do.

As a bartender, Josh hears a lot of things, but he never expected to discover that Courtney signed up to be married to a complete stranger! He can't deny that he cares about her, but marriage is definitely not anything he's remotely ready for, so he's forced to be her friend and support her choice.

Arrange Me is the perfect blend of humor and romance! While it's the first in a book duo, you're definitely given a happy ending, but with the promise of more to come in the sequel. Katy Regnery is one of my favorite authors and I highly recommend this book, especially to anyone who's been through the misery of dating, lol.
