Five Facts about Stone’s Revenge:

  1. It’s a not-too-dark Italian romance with LOTS of chemistry, angst, and some steamy scenes.

  2. Most of the duet, Stone’s Revenge and Sweet Retribution, takes place at wineries on the island of Gazo, off the coast of Italy.

  3. Rocco “Stone” Parlatore is an alpha a$$hole on the outside, but he has legit reasons for being so gruff! He’s actually really sweet but works pretty darn hard to hide it.

  4. Gia is strong and sassy and definitely puts Stone in his place. Quite often, in fact.

  5. Stone’s Revenge ends in a cliffhanger, but you don’t have to wait long! Sweet Retribution comes out September 14th!


Blurb:



STONE

My name wasn't synonymous with evil until he brought me down to the depths of his hell. I’m nothing compared to the monster Lorenzo Parisi is. He took from me in the darkest, cruelest, most unforgivable ways, and it has been my mission since to kill him and destroy all that is his.

Painfully. Brutally.

The man I once was changed the moment his darkness invaded my soul. I became Stone and learned by watching, then doing. Plotting. The evil that consumes me has a singular purpose.

Revenge.

I’ve been searching for Callista Parisi, the key to my ultimate plan, and now that I’ve found her, I’ll make her mine and take from her father everything he’s taken from me. And more.

He took and killed my blood. Now it’s time for him to pay.

GIA

I changed my name, fled the country, and have been living in fear for eight years. I escaped my father and the man he betrothed me to… only to be kidnapped and held hostage by another.

I’ve traded one evil for another. I’m trapped in his world for one purpose. To marry him. He won’t tell me why, and I have a feeling I’m being used as a pawn in a dangerous game of revenge.

***

If you're not a fan of hot, steamy romances, this may not be the book for you. If you aren't a fan of enemies to lovers, this may not be the book for you. If you aren't a fan of major chemistry and tension between the hero and heroine, this may not be the book for you. If you aren't a fan of cliffhangers, this may not be the book for you. However, Sweet Retribution, book two, will be out in a few weeks, so you won't have to wait long!

EXCERPT:

“You used to cower, afraid to cross me. And now you’re telling me what to do?”

“I was afraid because I didn’t know you.”

“You still don’t know me.”

I tap his cheek. “I know you better than you know yourself.” I brush past him but don’t

make it too far before he roughly grabs my arm and spins me around.

“You’re playing with fire, Gia.”

“Well then I won’t have to worry about being cold at night.” I take advantage of his

shock and break free from his grasp as I saunter back into the kitchen.

He’s right. I’m playing a dangerous game and I’m sure to get burned.

Review of Vicious Creatures

“Killing people silences the screaming in my head.”

 

Chloe West’s father trained her to kill on command, and she was the best in the business. 

Ten years ago, she was supposed to infiltrate a paranormal academy, kill a few faculty members and students, and make it look like an accident. Then her daddy could step in and buy the property for less than it's worth.

Instead, the head teacher enchanted her into being  gentle-natured and passive. All she wants is to be a hairdresser. And she has no memory of her murderous past.

When a friendly witch breaks the spell, her memory rushes back. No longer a sweet-natured young woman her friends know and love, she doesn't want to see judgment in their eyes. Rather than face them, she flees.

 

Now her ambition is to rid he world of her billionaire father and make amends for all the pain and mayhem her killer persona created.

 

Then there’s Dwayne. Never forget Dwayne. He’s a killer goose with psychotic tendencies and Chloe’s best friend.

****

 

I loved the storytelling and breadth of imagination in this book.

 It’s hard not to identify with Chloe as she takes out various bad guys and befriends other paranormal creatures.

 

As mentioned, I have a soft spot for Dwayne. Let’s face it, who doesn’t want a killer goose for a best friend? Then there are vampires and a strategist who helped train her. He tells life's a chessboard, and while she might be a knight, she could be the queen. 

 

The medical research behind the murders is fascinating. If the police ever check Ms Hignett’s computer history, she could be in trouble.

 

This book, and the rest of the series, took over my life. Unable to put i down, I until the small hours then stated the next in series. It wasn’t until I finished the complete Waif in the Wilds series that I realised that although complete in itself, it's is part of a huge story arc.

 

Now I’m on a mission to read the connected series. I’d recommend this book to anyone who loves a slow building paranormal romance set in one of the best imaginary worlds I’ve ever visited. Best of all, a gentle humour runs through every word.
