While his most favored Revenant is insistent that she is nothing more than a lie, Kolis’s erratic nature and twisted sense of honor leave her shaken to the core, and nothing could’ve prepared her for the cruelty of his Court or the shocking truths revealed. The revelations not only upend what she has understood about her duty and the very creation of the realms but also draw into question exactly what the true threat is. However, surviving Kolis is only one part of the battle. The Ascension is upon her, and Sera is out of time.</span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">But Nyktos will do anything to keep Sera alive and give her the life she deserves. He’ll even risk the utter destruction of the realms, and that’s exactly what will happen if he doesn’t Ascend as the Primal of Life. Yet despite his desperate determination, their destinies may be out of their hands.</span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">But there is that foreseen unexpected thread—the unpredictable, unknown, and unwritten.

Armentrout’s (JLA or Jen) books. I swear while reading this one, I wanted to throw it as much as I wanted to hug it. After finishing this one, I could understand the need to be a 4th book because I can’t imagine how big it would have been considering we know quite a few things still needs to happen.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Well, I’ll go with my usual disclaimer: if you haven’t read the previous books in the Fire and Flesh series, please do not read this review since it’s a big possibility that spoilers from the previous books will be mentioned. Also, I recommend highly to go read them if you haven’t read them because along with the Blood and ash series, it is my favorite JLA book series.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">The book continues where the previous one left us and honestly, from this moment to the next, there is not a boring moment. Even the fillers in this book are filled with information that you know will be useful later on in this series or the other.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Honestly, I didn’t know what I was expecting when I went into this book because I knew that with Sera now being captured by Kolis, this book wasn’t going to be a walk in the park, and I was right as much as I was wrong.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Jen has a way to make you feel through the characters even the ones you don’t want to. The way she wrote Kolis is something that I wasn’t expecting. I liked that I was surprised that I could feel things for him other than hatred (though still the strongest and main feeling hahaha). </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Sera’s strength in this book is once more shown throughout the whole book. I honestly felt for her through it all; from her fears to her determination, she powers through even in moments of doubts. I feel like this book is really the epitome of what Sera was always meant to realize she could do.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Sera and Ash’s bond is so strong and as much as I would like to add more than this simple sentence, I feel I’m about to spoil something, but yeah, these two are just a new level of chemistry.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">And so many reveals are in this book and my mind was blown quite a few times through my reading. Some of them were something I wasn’t expecting at all, and I love that. I love how I am always surprised with these books.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">So much is said and done in this book and I feel like a lot of what’s to come in the blood and ash series were hinted in this book and as much as I would like to believe that I am good figuring them out (FYI I am not :P), I feel like whatever my mind can come up with, Jen will find a way to surprise us again by adding her own special twist into them.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Overall, this book is a 5-star read and I’m just waiting on the fourth book now because I know a lot has happened in this one, but since she had to add another book; I feel we need to be ready to what else she’s going to put us through to get to the end of this series.</span></span></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face=""verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif" style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I was giving an advanced copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.</i></div></div>Julalicious Book Paradisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14971621426326694043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872508850439271316.post-59341734387385231452023-09-12T19:22:00.001-04:002023-09-12T19:22:07.516-04:00Review: Fall of Ruin and Wrath (Awakening, #1) by Jennifer L.

If you are in the author's Facebook group, you will know that she likes to share snippets of her writing in progress and when she posted those about this book, I had started to imagine many possible scenarios around these snippets, and it looks like I wasn't good at guessing. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">I will start by saying that Jennifer L. Armentrout knows how to write an amazing heroine who can be both vulnerable and strong. Calista (or Lis) is no exception to this rule. I really liked how she is portrayed in this and I'm looking forward to seeing her character evolve in the next books.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Thorne is a character that many will love and add to the fictional boyfriends list, but as much as I do like his intensity and honesty; I still have problems liking him as much as I feel like I should or could. Perhaps in the next book, something will happen that will change my mind about him. But he is an interesting character and I'm looking forward to seeing what else we will discover about him.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Lis and Thorne are, like most of JLA’s couples, a good fit for one another. One example coming to my mind would be like I feel that even though he doesn’t deal with emotions the same way most people do; she does bring a softer side (not sure if it’s the right word, but it’s the only one coming to my mind). He's more rational and she's more intwined with her emotions. And the chemistry between is off the charts. Honestly, if it’s like this in the first book, I’m intrigued to see how far it will go in the future ;)</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">So many secondary characters in this book that I'm hoping that we'll see again or more in the next books. Either because I like them or because I need to know how I need to feel about them because there is always one or two characters you want to like but you feel like you might just hate them and vice-versa.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">I need more Grady, if only for his friendship with Lis.

text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Where can I start with this review? Honestly, I was so happy to relive the first book of the series through Casteel’s eyes.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">I also enjoyed that the past and present were mixed too because sometimes some conversations between characters added to the retelling from Casteel’s point of view. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">So let’s start with the basic, this book continues mostly where the last book ended. As I’m trying to keep my review spoiler free, I will only mention what is already written in the blurb of the book which is as follow; as events transpired, Poppy is now in stasis and Casteel decides to talk to her until she comes back to him.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">What I love most with retellings is that not only you get to revisited possibly some moments you enjoyed reading in the book the first time (or hundredth time), but you also get to see more details that were not known or seen from the other person’s POV. Casteel’s recollection of these moments was just adding so much because we could speculate about what he might have been thinking in these moments all we want, but sometimes, we could be off the mark just a little bit hahahaha</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Being in Casteel’s mind was really an eye opener because we get details that we didn’t necessarily have in the previous books, and you get to feel it through him about how all the events transpired and how conflicted he was about certain things. We also catch glimpses of what happened to him before too; details that we might not have picked on in the previous books as he spoke to Poppy or sometimes new information all together.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">And reading key moments between him and Poppy just made me remember why I love their banters and how they interact with one another so much.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">This book also had a few background details for other characters that either made me love or hate them more; or perhaps just made me more confident in the way I always felt about these characters. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">I can’t tell you just how much some scenes really got to me either they made me sad, happy or feeling extremely satisfied with the outcome of some characters (if you know, you know 😉).</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">But as much as I love the past retellings, like I said before, I also loved that we had moments in the present because some of them might not be as entertaining as some chapters in the past, they do add to the story Casteel is telling Poppy. But there are also moments from the present that you might not be ready for; let’s leave it at that.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">And the ending will make you want the next book as soon as possible because like always, she does know how to keep us hooked.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Honestly, if she wasn’t a busy bee as she already is, I would need all the first books to be in his POV because I feel with this book, we only scratched a few layers of everything going through his mind.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Overall, I fell in love with this book and loved every minute of it. I am thrilled that Jen has decided to write this book because I love when she does the that because she seems to know just what to add to make the book we already know and loved into a whole new reading experience.</span></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.</span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span><b>A Duty…</b></span></span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;">The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.</span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span><b>A Kingdom…</b></span></span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;">Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.</span></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c;

font-family: verdana;">Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him. The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him, and that’s one order she’s more than happy to obey. He may have taken her, but he will never have her.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><i>A Choice….</i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Casteel Da’Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows better than to trust him. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. But he’s the only way for her to get what she wants—to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all she’s ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself—about him. Plans that could bind their lives together in unexpected ways that neither kingdom is prepared for. And she’s far too reckless, too hungry, to resist the temptation.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><i>A Secret…</i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">But unrest has grown in Atlantia as they await the return of their Prince. Whispers of war have become stronger, and Poppy is at the very heart of it all. The King wants to use her to send a message. The Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen, the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to keep the truth hidden. But when the earth begins to shake, and the skies start to bleed, it may already be too late.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px;"><b>✦ Amazon➜ </b><a href="https://amzn.to/3eKOns2">https://amzn.to/3eKOns2</a><b> </b><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">✦ Apple Books ➜ </span><a href="https://apple.co/3eRB9to">https://apple.co/3eRB9to</a><b> </b></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">✦ Amazon Worldwide ➜ </span><a href="http://mybook.to/fleshandfire">http://mybook.to/fleshandfire</a><b> </b></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">✦ Nook ➜ </span><a href="https://bit.ly/3ijciko">https://bit.ly/3ijciko</a><b> </b></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">✦ Kobo ➜ </span><a href="https://bit.ly/2D067Sd">https://bit.ly/2D067Sd</a> </div><b>✦ Google Play ➜ </b><a href="https://bit.ly/2YOXYbB">https://bit.ly/2YOXYbB</a></span></span></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghYpuyQWVaSk7NWFM6gfYwq9Mu9d7NPyvIqx0BusGifgqn6SoUdVJ3rwcYgRuxxzg5iPNUXIuxohVk7cO48g0Be8zpzEx-XFC7iNtY-ab3gJ8ESwbeaRtpQEaaIKAR08HtwvllAwaJU5jV/s320/TheCrownofGildedBones+AMAZON.jpg" style="background-color: white; color: #6a55b2; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img align="RIGHT" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghYpuyQWVaSk7NWFM6gfYwq9Mu9d7NPyvIqx0BusGifgqn6SoUdVJ3rwcYgRuxxzg5iPNUXIuxohVk7cO48g0Be8zpzEx-XFC7iNtY-ab3gJ8ESwbeaRtpQEaaIKAR08HtwvllAwaJU5jV/s320/TheCrownofGildedBones+AMAZON.jpg" style="border: none; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="211" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><b>Here's a little about <i>The Crown of Gilded Bones (Blood and Ash, #3)</i></b></span></div></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;">Add on [</b><a href="https://bit.ly/34D4N31" style="background-color: white; color: #6a55b2; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;" target="_blank">goodreads</a><b style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;">]</b></span></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;"><b style="font-size: medium;">[</b><a href="https://julaliciousbookparadise.blogspot.com/2021/04/release-blitzreview-crown-of-gilded.html" style="font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;" target="_blank">review</a><b style="font-size: medium;">]</b></b></span></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i style="color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></i><i style="color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><i><b>She's been the victim and the survivor… </b></i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Poppy never dreamed she would find the love she’s found with Prince Casteel. She wants to revel in her happiness but first they must free his brother and find hers. It’s a dangerous mission and one with far-reaching consequences neither dreamed of. Because Poppy is the Chosen, the Blessed. The true ruler of Atlantia. She carries the blood of the King of Gods within her. By right the crown and the kingdom are hers. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><i><b>The enemy and the warrior… </b></i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Poppy has only ever wanted to control her own life, not the lives of others, but now she must choose to either forsake her birthright or seize the gilded crown and become the Queen of Flesh and Fire. But as the kingdoms’ dark sins and blood-drenched secrets finally unravel, a long-forgotten power rises to pose a genuine threat.

She will do anything to end Kolis, the false King of Gods, and his tyrannical rule of Iliseeum, thus stopping the threat he poses to the mortal realm.</span></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Nyktos has a plan, though, and as they work together, the last thing they need is the undeniable, scorching passion that continues to ignite between them. Sera cannot afford to fall for the tortured Primal, not when a life no longer bound to a destiny she never wanted is more attainable than ever. But memories of their shared pleasure and unrivaled desire are a siren’s call impossible to resist.</span></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">And as Sera begins to realize that she wants to be more than a Consort in name only, the danger surrounding them intensifies. The attacks on the Shadowlands are increasing, and when Kolis summons them to Court, a whole new risk becomes apparent. The Primal power of Life is growing inside her, pushing her closer to the end of her Culling. And without Nyktos’s love—an emotion he’s incapable of feeling—she won’t survive her Ascension. That is if she even makes it to her Ascension and Kolis doesn’t get to her first. Because time is running out. For both her and the realms.</span></span></div></div><div style="color: black; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394;

But memories of their shared pleasure and unrivaled desire are a siren’s call impossible to resist.</span></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">And as Sera begins to realize that she wants to be more than a Consort in name only, the danger surrounding them intensifies. The attacks on the Shadowlands are increasing, and when Kolis summons them to Court, a whole new risk becomes apparent. The Primal power of Life is growing inside her, pushing her closer to the end of her Culling. And without Nyktos’s love—an emotion he’s incapable of feeling—she won’t survive her Ascension. That is if she even makes it to her Ascension and Kolis doesn’t get to her first. Because time is running out. For both her and the realms.</span></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div style="color: #7c7c7c;

The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.</span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span><b>A Duty…</b></span></span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;">The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.</span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span><b>A Kingdom…</b></span></span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;">Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.</span></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c;

font-family: verdana;">Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him. The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him, and that’s one order she’s more than happy to obey. He may have taken her, but he will never have her.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><i>A Choice….</i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Casteel Da’Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows better than to trust him. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. But he’s the only way for her to get what she wants—to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all she’s ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself—about him. Plans that could bind their lives together in unexpected ways that neither kingdom is prepared for. And she’s far too reckless, too hungry, to resist the temptation.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><i>A Secret…</i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">But unrest has grown in Atlantia as they await the return of their Prince. Whispers of war have become stronger, and Poppy is at the very heart of it all. The King wants to use her to send a message. The Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen, the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to keep the truth hidden. But when the earth begins to shake, and the skies start to bleed, it may already be too late.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px;"><b>✦ Amazon➜ </b><a href="https://amzn.to/3eKOns2">https://amzn.to/3eKOns2</a><b> </b><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">✦ Apple Books ➜ </span><a href="https://apple.co/3eRB9to">https://apple.co/3eRB9to</a><b> </b></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">✦ Amazon Worldwide ➜ </span><a href="http://mybook.to/fleshandfire">http://mybook.to/fleshandfire</a><b> </b></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">✦ Nook ➜ </span><a href="https://bit.ly/3ijciko">https://bit.ly/3ijciko</a><b> </b></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">✦ Kobo ➜ </span><a href="https://bit.ly/2D067Sd">https://bit.ly/2D067Sd</a> </div><b>✦ Google Play ➜ </b><a href="https://bit.ly/2YOXYbB">https://bit.ly/2YOXYbB</a></span></span></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghYpuyQWVaSk7NWFM6gfYwq9Mu9d7NPyvIqx0BusGifgqn6SoUdVJ3rwcYgRuxxzg5iPNUXIuxohVk7cO48g0Be8zpzEx-XFC7iNtY-ab3gJ8ESwbeaRtpQEaaIKAR08HtwvllAwaJU5jV/s320/TheCrownofGildedBones+AMAZON.jpg" style="background-color: white; color: #6a55b2; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img align="RIGHT" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghYpuyQWVaSk7NWFM6gfYwq9Mu9d7NPyvIqx0BusGifgqn6SoUdVJ3rwcYgRuxxzg5iPNUXIuxohVk7cO48g0Be8zpzEx-XFC7iNtY-ab3gJ8ESwbeaRtpQEaaIKAR08HtwvllAwaJU5jV/s320/TheCrownofGildedBones+AMAZON.jpg" style="border: none; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="211" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><b>Here's a little about <i>The Crown of Gilded Bones (Blood and Ash, #3)</i></b></span></div></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;">Add on [</b><a href="https://bit.ly/34D4N31" style="background-color: white; color: #6a55b2; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;" target="_blank">goodreads</a><b style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;">]</b></span></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;"><b style="font-size: medium;">[</b><a href="https://julaliciousbookparadise.blogspot.com/2021/04/release-blitzreview-crown-of-gilded.html" style="font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;" target="_blank">review</a><b style="font-size: medium;">]</b></b></span></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i style="color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></i><i style="color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><i><b>She's been the victim and the survivor… </b></i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Poppy never dreamed she would find the love she’s found with Prince Casteel. She wants to revel in her happiness but first they must free his brother and find hers. It’s a dangerous mission and one with far-reaching consequences neither dreamed of. Because Poppy is the Chosen, the Blessed. The true ruler of Atlantia. She carries the blood of the King of Gods within her.

Poppy and Casteel must consider the impossible—travel to the Lands of the Gods and wake the King himself. And as shocking secrets and the harshest betrayals come to light, and enemies emerge to threaten everything Poppy and Casteel have fought for, they will discover just how far they are willing to go for their people—and each other.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><i><b>And now she will become Queen…</b></i></span></div></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><b>✦ Amazon ➜</b> <a href="https://amzn.to/3pGJq9l">https://amzn.to/3pGJq9l</a></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><b>✦ Amazon Worldwide ➜</b> <a href="http://mybook.to/CrownofGildedBone">http://mybook.to/CrownofGildedBone</a></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><b>✦ Apple Books ➜</b> <a href="https://apple.co/35KztA5">https://apple.co/35KztA5</a></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><b>✦ Kobo ➜</b> <a href="https://bit.ly/3pFzRHW">https://bit.ly/3pFzRHW</a></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><b>✦ Nook ➜</b> <a href="https://bit.ly/35JKgu9">https://bit.ly/35JKgu9</a></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><b>✦ Google Play ➜</b> <a href="https://bit.ly/2ISWebS">https://bit.ly/2ISWebS</a></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><b>✦ Hardback ➜</b> <a href="https://bit.ly/3nG8L1z">https://bit.ly/3nG8L1z</a></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><b>✦ Paperback ➜</b> <a href="https://amzn.to/35J310H">https://amzn.to/35J310H</a></span></div></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><div style="color: #7c7c7c;"><br style="font-family: "Times New Roman";" /></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c;"><br /></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><a href="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1635174962l/57815107._SY475_.jpg" style="background-color: white; color: #6a55b2; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img align="LEFT" border="0" height="320" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1635174962l/57815107._SY475_.jpg" style="border: none; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="211" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><b>Here's a little about <i>The War of Two Queens (Blood and Ash, #4)</i></b></span></div></div><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;">Add on [</b><a href="https://bit.ly/3nQgT13" style="background-color: white; color: #6a55b2; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;" target="_blank">goodreads</a><b style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;">]</b></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i style="color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px;"><b style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;">[</b><a href="https://julaliciousbookparadise.blogspot.com/2022/03/review-war-of-two-queens-blood-and-ash.html" style="background-color: white; color: #6a55b2; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;" target="_blank">review</a><b style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;">]</b><br /></i><i style="color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></i></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><b><i>War is only the beginning…</i></b></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><b>From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L.

font-family: verdana;">As always, my first disclaimer is that if you haven't read <i>Blood and Ash</i> series or the first book of the <i>Fire and Flesh</i> series, you better not check my review in case I do spoil something from these books. I would also add that if you are starting these series, be sure to check out the reading order (just check the release date of each book and read them in that order and yes, it’s a mix between both series) because it just helps making sense of a few events.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Okay first word to describe <b>A Light in the Flame</b>? OMG! Technically it’s three words, but you know what I mean.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">This book was simply amazing and so well written. I love reading about this world and making the connections with the <i>Blood and Ash</i> series as well.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">I will tell you this right now… this book will break and heal you all through it because that’s how Jen rolls. She will give us more than likely a HEA at the end of the series, but she will enjoy making us suffer until we do get there. I’m not sure how many more books are planned into this series, but I know that she will break us and then heal us over and over again.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">The story continues where we were left off in <b><i>A Shadow in the Ember</i></b> and Sera and Nyktos are dealing with the aftermath of what they have learned. To say the least, nothing is easy in that book; and I can’t tell you just how often I was on the edge of my seat wondering what the next chapter was going to bring.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Sera and Nyktos have grown so much in this book in a way. They are both mature characters, but I felt that the both of them have grown more into knowing what their worth is. I can’t explain just how invested I am into their relationship and whatever happens to them, I feel for them, and I will admit that they broke my heart a few times in this book, but they also made me giddy with happiness. Their chemistry is also off the chart and so much is going on with them and around them and I feel like it intensifies everything about how they handle each other and their problems.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">The Drakens are still amazing characters, Nektas, Jadis, Reaver… I can’t explain just how much they entertain me in this book. If I’m honest, Nektas reminds me so much of Kieran from the <i>Blood and Ash </i>series with how he acts; he is just as fiercely loyal and just as nonchalant as Kieran. Perhaps that may be one of the reasons I like this character so much and the littles ones just put some sunshine in these books.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">New characters are introduced and as usual, you will never know what to think of any of them because Jen likes to keep us on our toes about the true nature of certain characters. I will admit that I got played a few times along this series (as well as her other series let’s be honest) and sometimes, I will admit that it pained me to realize that I was wrong or right about a character.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">For as long as I have been reading Jennifer L. Armentrout’s books, I have always said that the Lux series were my favorite series of hers, but now, I think it has gained the second place because <i>Blood and Ash</i> and <i>Flesh and Fire</i> series have gotten to the number one spot. I can’t recommend enough these two series.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">So overall, this book is another 5 stars read for me. I’m sorry not sorry for just loving it so much. This book just had everything that I love about my books and like I said before, I am so invested in these series that I am thinking of finding a way to go live with Jen without her knowing and then sneak onto her laptop to read the next books; that is how much I need the next books.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">FYI… if it took me over a month to finish it, it’s not because it wasn’t good, but more of my capacity to handle the rollercoaster of feels that Jennifer usually puts us through in her books.</span></div></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>I was given an advanced copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.</i></span></span></div><div><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><i><br /></i></span></span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div style="line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #7c7c7c; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #7c7c7c; line-height: 18.2px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixYDPggbZ4bTolSwL8jyT_vYGoIeRhBETMmR07QX2MdY001bdPtDNEe8L1xDCcxasiU8WIoHbGaQcoVTfEbKhEiTZtw8zDGfoXeAL_ps5QlwZqaEQh4vKXUh8X4_eC-Mkgrftio4U_sCCF/s1600/Barre.png" style="background-color: white; color: #6a55b2; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" height="15" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixYDPggbZ4bTolSwL8jyT_vYGoIeRhBETMmR07QX2MdY001bdPtDNEe8L1xDCcxasiU8WIoHbGaQcoVTfEbKhEiTZtw8zDGfoXeAL_ps5QlwZqaEQh4vKXUh8X4_eC-Mkgrftio4U_sCCF/s400/Barre.png" style="border-image: none; border: medium; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="400" /></span></a></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRd14f1TzUNaiHNsO9xBy4g1KvVM8qHkyvSNmsxyqDG6eBsLV_SMwZnyHdSfal71W2I3ymRVvRpzegpMUzAASedK7JOlLhzie8cuRfVESOywfGrGe13KCMhkghd327IhZlcia9TQ4BOTxP/s1600/MeettheAuthor1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRd14f1TzUNaiHNsO9xBy4g1KvVM8qHkyvSNmsxyqDG6eBsLV_SMwZnyHdSfal71W2I3ymRVvRpzegpMUzAASedK7JOlLhzie8cuRfVESOywfGrGe13KCMhkghd327IhZlcia9TQ4BOTxP/s1600/MeettheAuthor1.png" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh36PFL0x5_ssow6rlbS0IWe8XowyOTLsVfuBym2XCiDSqQb2-oU7PPHQpKHat81WsW2iWRqTAMpNOnHm_4rNBu4lMiMcTmt90NYSsv5iYk1b5meadCmmepAkmfB4dWJQcTG0a_ah0ezqYeapoweBuW8Wl2BMyR161QM4y8EQGtGuNHtgR-uQO_KEIRZg/s320/JLA_Headshot.jpg" style="background-color: white; color: #6a55b2; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img align="LEFT" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh36PFL0x5_ssow6rlbS0IWe8XowyOTLsVfuBym2XCiDSqQb2-oU7PPHQpKHat81WsW2iWRqTAMpNOnHm_4rNBu4lMiMcTmt90NYSsv5iYk1b5meadCmmepAkmfB4dWJQcTG0a_ah0ezqYeapoweBuW8Wl2BMyR161QM4y8EQGtGuNHtgR-uQO_KEIRZg/w206-h320/JLA_Headshot.jpg" style="border: none; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="206" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #7c7c7c; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana; line-height: 18.2px;"><b>About Jennifer L.

In early 2015, Jennifer was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a group of rare genetic disorders that involve a breakdown and death of cells in the retina, eventually resulting in loss of vision, among other complications. Due to this diagnosis, educating people on the varying degrees of blindness has become of passion of hers, right alongside writing, which she plans to do as long as she can.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Her dreams of becoming an author started in algebra class, where she spent most of her time writing short stories….which explains her dismal grades in math.

She is published with Tor, HarperCollins Avon and William Morrow, Entangled Teen and Brazen, Disney/Hyperion and Harlequin Teen. Her Wicked Series has been optioned by PassionFlix.

It was a hard to wait to see what was going to happen next because as much as Jen is all for Happily Ever Afters, we all know that what happens between the start and the end is fair game and she will for sure play with our feels throughout it.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">This series is no exception to that and my god do you go through every possible feels. I honestly do not know where to start my review.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">So let’s start with just how the bond between Poppy and Kieran grew throughout this book; the way they interacted and the way they anchor each other in Casteel’s absence. I really feel like that since the beginning, they always had a special bond even when they didn’t seem to really know it and I felt like that goes beyond the bond she has with the wolvens.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Poppy is just as fierce as before and she has so much more confidence in herself and she won’t back down from what she believes is right. Honestly, the way she held herself we sometimes we forget that she is young and that not long ago, she was sheltered and was mostly oblivious to the truth.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Having Casteel’s point of view was also just an added bonus to the story. I love being in Poppy’s mind, but I am not going to lie, I wanted to be in Casteel’s head too. I really felt it added to the story and it got us to feel just how intensely he felt about Poppy and all the thoughts and memories that could through his mind. In addition, I really felt like having both point of views just gave place to have more information thrown at us.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Poppy and Casteel. These two together are just almost perfect; they loved each other with something fierce and they are ready to do just about anything for one another.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">And what can I say about the newest addition to this group… Reaver (or since the book A Shadow in the Ember in the Flesh and Fire series (aka ASITE), Reaver-Butt). I seriously love him. His banters with Kieran were quite entertaining and I loved just how nonchalant he seems to be most of the time.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">So much is learned throughout this book and a lot is answered from things were wondered in the previous books. I swear, I felt like every other chapter, we learned something new and I loved it because sometimes I felt like it made some stuff from the previous books make more sense.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Overall, I loved that book. It kept me diving back in-between whenever I had a minute to be able to read. I once again highly recommend this book series.

The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.</span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span><b>A Duty…</b></span></span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;">The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.</span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span><b>A Kingdom…</b></span></span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;">Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.</span></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c;

font-family: verdana;">Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him. The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him, and that’s one order she’s more than happy to obey. He may have taken her, but he will never have her.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><i>A Choice….</i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Casteel Da’Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows better than to trust him. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. But he’s the only way for her to get what she wants—to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all she’s ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself—about him. Plans that could bind their lives together in unexpected ways that neither kingdom is prepared for. And she’s far too reckless, too hungry, to resist the temptation.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><i>A Secret…</i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">But unrest has grown in Atlantia as they await the return of their Prince. Whispers of war have become stronger, and Poppy is at the very heart of it all. The King wants to use her to send a message. The Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen, the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to keep the truth hidden. But when the earth begins to shake, and the skies start to bleed, it may already be too late.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div style="color: #7c7c7c;

She wants to revel in her happiness but first they must free his brother and find hers. It’s a dangerous mission and one with far-reaching consequences neither dreamed of. Because Poppy is the Chosen, the Blessed. The true ruler of Atlantia. She carries the blood of the King of Gods within her.

In early 2015, Jennifer was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a group of rare genetic disorders that involve a breakdown and death of cells in the retina, eventually resulting in loss of vision, among other complications. Due to this diagnosis, educating people on the varying degrees of blindness has become of passion of hers, right alongside writing, which she plans to do as long as she can.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Her dreams of becoming an author started in algebra class, where she spent most of her time writing short stories….which explains her dismal grades in math. Jennifer writes young adult paranormal, science fiction, fantasy, and contemporary romance. She is published with Tor, HarperCollins Avon and William Morrow, Entangled Teen and Brazen, Disney/Hyperion and Harlequin Teen. Her Wicked Series has been optioned by PassionFlix. Jennifer has won numerous awards, including the 2013 Reviewers Choice Award for Wait for You, the 2015 Editor’s Pick for Fall With Me, and the 2014/2015 Moerser-Jugendbuch- Jury award for Obsidian. Her young adult romantic suspense novel DON’T LOOK BACK was a 2014 nominated Best in Young Adult Fiction by YALSA.

The other half now belonged to Levi Miller, the famous quarterback who had other ideas about what we should do with the property.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">We won’t mention that I accidentally injured him during our first meeting, causing him to get eight stitches.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">You could say we got off on the wrong foot.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">We bickered a lot as we both moved into the property while we figured things out.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">He wanted to unload the rundown place which, admittedly, needed a lot of work.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">I wanted to restore The Palm Inn to its original beauty and re-open it as a bed and breakfast.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">We couldn’t agree on anything. So Levi made me a proposal. One he thought I would surely lose. If I could sell out the place by the time he had to leave for training at the end of summer, he would back off and let me run it.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">But in the weeks that followed, we got more than we bargained for while we were living under the same roof.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Levi and I got closer, and before I knew it, my nightly fantasies about the brawny Adonis became a reality.

Clicking the pen open, she scribbled across the top.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><i>To do with Levi</i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I chuckled. “Are we making a dirty to-do list?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">She wiggled her eyebrows and put the pen to the paper. “We certainly are.” “Tell me one thing you fantasize about doing with him.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Yep, I was definitely drunk, because sober me wouldn’t have participated in this. Though, even in this state, I felt my cheeks blush. “Well, every day he goes out back and does pull-ups in that big oak tree. Sometimes I imagine he’s naked while doing them, and then I walk out naked, too. I wrap myself around him like a koala and he’s a tree, and he keeps doing the pull-ups. Hoisting us both up and down.” </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Harper smirked. “Nice start.” She then jotted down <i>koala pull-ups</i>. “What else you got?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Well, I also have this running fantasy that I’m watching him do the pull-ups from my bedroom window with binoculars, and then I lie down on the bed and…you know…go to town on myself. And when I’m just about to orgasm, I look up at the window and see Levi with the binoculars. He’s watching me masturbate from outside.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Oooh… I like that one.” Harper wrote down voyeur masturbation.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">For the next half hour, we polished off our spiked lemonades, laughed a lot, and added more than a dozen sexual to-do tasks to my list. It was the most fun I’d had in ages. But Harper had to fly home in the morning, and I didn’t want her to have a raging hangover. So rather than make another pitcher of spiked lemonade, I grabbed her a water bottle and some Motrin and told her to drink up before going to bed. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">But as I walked around and shut off the lights, another fantasy hit me. “That peach cobbler we had for dessert at the restaurant was orgasmic, wasn’t it?” </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“It sure was.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I pointed to the notepad. “Sit on Levi’s face while eating that pie.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Harper had been drinking water and spit it out all over the place. “Oh my God. That is most definitely going on the list!” She picked up the pen and spoke while jotting something down. “Double orgasmic peach cobbler.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">We started to crack up, but a knock interrupted our laughter. At least it interrupted mine. I looked up to find Levi standing in the doorway to the living room. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">My eyes widened. “Levi… What are you doing here?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">His brows lifted. “I own half the place.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“No, I meant I didn’t know you were back.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">He looked between Harper and me and seemed to smirk. “Oh, I’m back.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">My palms started to sweat. “I didn’t hear you come in. How long have you been…standing there?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Levi tilted his head, and his smirk elevated to a cocky smile. “Not too long.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Oh my God. I wanted to crawl into a hole and never come out. What if he heard? I suddenly felt pretty damn sober. “Umm…well, this is my friend Harper. She’s leaving early tomorrow, so we were just going to bed.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">He nodded. “Nice to meet you, Harper.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Harper stood and hiccupped. She covered her grinning mouth. “Nice to meet you, too. Your family’s inn is beautiful.” </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Thank you.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Her eyes shifted to me. “Although there’s a lot to do around here. Presley and I made a list. You might want to take a look at it and get going on some of the new to-do tasks we added.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">My eyes nearly bulged out of my head, and I lunged for the notebook on the table. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Levi squinted at me. “Everything okay, Presley? You seem stressed.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“I’m fine!”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">He nodded slowly. “Right.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Alright….” I grabbed Harper’s arm and tugged. “We’re going to bed. Welcome home.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Levi never moved from the living room doorway as he watched me drag my friend out of the room. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Harper waved over her shoulder. “’Night, Levi. Enjoy your to-do list!”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Somehow I managed to get Harper to her room without her yelling anything too obscene. But for the next half hour, I lay in my bed with my heart pounding. What if he’d heard us? What if he’d been standing there listening the entire time? <i>Oh my God</i>. I covered my face with my hands. <i>The things I said I wanted to do to him.</i> My head began to ache, and tomorrow’s hangover hadn’t even started yet. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">After another twenty minutes of lying there freaking out in the dark, my mouth was so parched that I needed a bottle of water. But there was no way I wanted to run into Levi again. So I cracked open my bedroom door and listened for any sounds of someone moving out in the common area. Finding it quiet, I snuck down the hall and peered around the corner to see if any lights were still on. They weren’t, so I breathed a sigh of relief and went to the kitchen for a drink. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I guzzled half a bottle of water before turning to slink back to my bedroom. But I froze at the sight of Levi standing in the kitchen doorway. My hand flew up to cover my racing heart. “Oh my God. You scared me.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Sorry. I was just going to head out to grab a bite to eat.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Oh…there are leftovers from lunch in the fridge, if you want. I made chicken pot pies this morning.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Levi held my eyes for a moment. “Thanks, but I think I’m going to go out.” He walked over and leaned down to whisper in my ear. “I have a real hankering for peach cobbler.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><i>Oh.</i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><i>My.</i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><i>God.</i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">My jaw dropped to the ground. I had no idea what to do or say. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Levi winked as he walked to the door. “Get some sleep. I wouldn’t want you to be too tired to work on that to-do list.”</span></div></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">★★★</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>Excited?

The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.</span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span><b>A Duty…</b></span></span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;">The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.</span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span><b>A Kingdom…</b></span></span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;">Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.</span></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c;

font-family: verdana;">Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him. The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him, and that’s one order she’s more than happy to obey. He may have taken her, but he will never have her.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><i>A Choice….</i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Casteel Da’Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows better than to trust him. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. But he’s the only way for her to get what she wants—to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all she’s ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself—about him. Plans that could bind their lives together in unexpected ways that neither kingdom is prepared for. And she’s far too reckless, too hungry, to resist the temptation.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><i>A Secret…</i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">But unrest has grown in Atlantia as they await the return of their Prince. Whispers of war have become stronger, and Poppy is at the very heart of it all. The King wants to use her to send a message. The Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen, the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to keep the truth hidden. But when the earth begins to shake, and the skies start to bleed, it may already be too late.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="color: #0b5394; font-size: medium; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Get your copy!</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="color: #0b5394; font-size: medium; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="color: #0b5394; font-size: medium; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px;"><b>✦ Amazon➜ </b><a href="https://amzn.to/3eKOns2">https://amzn.to/3eKOns2</a><b> </b><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">✦ Apple Books ➜ </span><a href="https://apple.co/3eRB9to">https://apple.co/3eRB9to</a><b> </b></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">✦ Amazon Worldwide ➜ </span><a href="http://mybook.to/fleshandfire">http://mybook.to/fleshandfire</a><b> </b></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">✦ Nook ➜ </span><a href="https://bit.ly/3ijciko">https://bit.ly/3ijciko</a><b> </b></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">✦ Kobo ➜ </span><a href="https://bit.ly/2D067Sd">https://bit.ly/2D067Sd</a> </div><b>✦ Google Play ➜ </b><a href="https://bit.ly/2YOXYbB">https://bit.ly/2YOXYbB</a></span></span></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghYpuyQWVaSk7NWFM6gfYwq9Mu9d7NPyvIqx0BusGifgqn6SoUdVJ3rwcYgRuxxzg5iPNUXIuxohVk7cO48g0Be8zpzEx-XFC7iNtY-ab3gJ8ESwbeaRtpQEaaIKAR08HtwvllAwaJU5jV/s320/TheCrownofGildedBones+AMAZON.jpg" style="background-color: white; color: #6a55b2; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img align="RIGHT" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghYpuyQWVaSk7NWFM6gfYwq9Mu9d7NPyvIqx0BusGifgqn6SoUdVJ3rwcYgRuxxzg5iPNUXIuxohVk7cO48g0Be8zpzEx-XFC7iNtY-ab3gJ8ESwbeaRtpQEaaIKAR08HtwvllAwaJU5jV/s320/TheCrownofGildedBones+AMAZON.jpg" style="border: none; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="211" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><b>Here's a little about <i>The Crown of Gilded Bones (Blood and Ash, #3)</i></b></span></div></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;">Add on [</b><a href="https://bit.ly/34D4N31" style="background-color: white; color: #6a55b2; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;" target="_blank">goodreads</a><b style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;">]</b></span></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;"><b style="font-size: medium;">[</b><a href="https://julaliciousbookparadise.blogspot.com/2021/04/release-blitzreview-crown-of-gilded.html" style="font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;" target="_blank">review</a><b style="font-size: medium;">]</b></b></span></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i style="color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></i><i style="color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><i><b>She's been the victim and the survivor… </b></i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Poppy never dreamed she would find the love she’s found with Prince Casteel. She wants to revel in her happiness but first they must free his brother and find hers. It’s a dangerous mission and one with far-reaching consequences neither dreamed of. Because Poppy is the Chosen, the Blessed. The true ruler of Atlantia. She carries the blood of the King of Gods within her.

But as the kingdoms’ dark sins and blood-drenched secrets finally unravel, a long-forgotten power rises to pose a genuine threat. And they will stop at nothing to ensure that the crown never sits upon Poppy’s head. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><b><i>A lover and heartmate…</i></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">But the greatest threat to them and to Atlantia is what awaits in the far west, where the Queen of Blood and Ash has her own plans, ones she has waited hundreds of years to carry out. Poppy and Casteel must consider the impossible—travel to the Lands of the Gods and wake the King himself. And as shocking secrets and the harshest betrayals come to light, and enemies emerge to threaten everything Poppy and Casteel have fought for, they will discover just how far they are willing to go for their people—and each other.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;

Armentrout’s books. I’m going to try and make this review as spoiler free as possible.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">I knew that I was going to love this new series from the <i>Blood and Ash</i> world, but I wasn’t expecting to be as enthralled as I was with the <i>Blood and Ash series</i>.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">A lot happens throughout this book and even if sometimes it doesn’t seem like a lot is happening, you still can’t put the book down knowing just how unpredictable Sera’s mind can go and you never know what she will do next (when you wish you didn't need to work, sleep or eat or that you always had energy to read).</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Which brings me to the two main characters…</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Once again, Jen has cooked up characters that are so interesting and entertaining. She always has some awesome sassy heroines and Sera isn’t the exception. I loved how she isn’t afraid to speak her mind even if it can get her in trouble; more often than not. She also has such a beautiful heart even if sometimes she tends to forget that. Often, she finds herself questioning everything and that reminded me so much of another book character *cough* Poppy *cough*.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">The Primal of Death is… Wow… He’s honestly such an intense character. I always felt like even if he will protect at all costs the people that he cares about, he has a lot of trouble demonstrating what he’s feeling probably due to everything that has happened to him and because of what he is. But he was such an interesting character to discover throughout this book and I cannot wait for the next book and see more of him.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">But Sera and him together were such an amazing duo. Honestly, their chemistry was off the chart bringing any arguments between them to another level. But like for a lot of characters Jen has written, she has a way to find characters that will both bring the best and the worse out of each other but who also fit so perfectly together somehow.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">A lot of characters come and go in this book and so many of them you will love, and others will leave you with the envy of slapping them across the face (I’m actually just being nice because let’s be real, I would have done more sometimes).</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Overall, this was such an amazing book and even if the ending leaves your mind blown and in need to have the next book in your hands; you can’t resist the pull of this book. I honestly loved it from the beginning to the end and there are so many things I can’t wait to discover along the characters and see where their journey will continue next.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Also be prepared to go through an eruption of feels with this book as you are more than likely to invest yourself in these characters and what they are going through. You will be pulled from one to another to another and back to the first feel before you know it.</span></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>I was given an advanced copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.</i></span></span></div><div><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><i><br /></i></span></span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div style="line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #7c7c7c; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #7c7c7c; line-height: 18.2px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixYDPggbZ4bTolSwL8jyT_vYGoIeRhBETMmR07QX2MdY001bdPtDNEe8L1xDCcxasiU8WIoHbGaQcoVTfEbKhEiTZtw8zDGfoXeAL_ps5QlwZqaEQh4vKXUh8X4_eC-Mkgrftio4U_sCCF/s1600/Barre.png" style="background-color: white; color: #6a55b2; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" height="15" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixYDPggbZ4bTolSwL8jyT_vYGoIeRhBETMmR07QX2MdY001bdPtDNEe8L1xDCcxasiU8WIoHbGaQcoVTfEbKhEiTZtw8zDGfoXeAL_ps5QlwZqaEQh4vKXUh8X4_eC-Mkgrftio4U_sCCF/s400/Barre.png" style="border-image: none; border: medium; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="400" /></span></a></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRd14f1TzUNaiHNsO9xBy4g1KvVM8qHkyvSNmsxyqDG6eBsLV_SMwZnyHdSfal71W2I3ymRVvRpzegpMUzAASedK7JOlLhzie8cuRfVESOywfGrGe13KCMhkghd327IhZlcia9TQ4BOTxP/s1600/MeettheAuthor1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRd14f1TzUNaiHNsO9xBy4g1KvVM8qHkyvSNmsxyqDG6eBsLV_SMwZnyHdSfal71W2I3ymRVvRpzegpMUzAASedK7JOlLhzie8cuRfVESOywfGrGe13KCMhkghd327IhZlcia9TQ4BOTxP/s1600/MeettheAuthor1.png" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1svMQLYvZvGjAcf99d15GnDCc7I1tAbn54EKM7Nvi7e9dt5YhyJOuxd3g83A8Y1NNni3PErDMHP6xoTgfIO_Jz41ZVVJOshoqu2VTjcDQ8xJHElnhSR3S1pWk-EvhxsF5yyINYsN4kCbR/s1221/JLA+author.jpg" style="background-color: white; color: #6a55b2; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img align="LEFT" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1svMQLYvZvGjAcf99d15GnDCc7I1tAbn54EKM7Nvi7e9dt5YhyJOuxd3g83A8Y1NNni3PErDMHP6xoTgfIO_Jz41ZVVJOshoqu2VTjcDQ8xJHElnhSR3S1pWk-EvhxsF5yyINYsN4kCbR/w234-h320/JLA+author.jpg" style="border: none; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="234" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #7c7c7c; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana; line-height: 18.2px;"><b>About Jennifer L.

All the rumors you’ve heard about her state aren’t true. When she’s not hard at work writing. She spends her time reading, watching really bad zombie movies, pretending to write, hanging out with her husband and her Border Jack Apollo. In early 2015, Jennifer was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a group of rare genetic disorders that involve a breakdown and death of cells in the retina, eventually resulting in loss of vision, among other complications. Due to this diagnosis, educating people on the varying degrees of blindness has become of passion of hers, right alongside writing, which she plans to do as long as she can.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Her dreams of becoming an author started in algebra class, where she spent most of her time writing short stories….which explains her dismal grades in math. Jennifer writes young adult paranormal, science fiction, fantasy, and contemporary romance. She is published with Tor, HarperCollins Avon and William Morrow, Entangled Teen and Brazen, Disney/Hyperion and Harlequin Teen. Her Wicked Series has been optioned by PassionFlix. Jennifer has won numerous awards, including the 2013 Reviewers Choice Award for Wait for You, the 2015 Editor’s Pick for Fall With Me, and the 2014/2015 Moerser-Jugendbuch- Jury award for Obsidian. Her young adult romantic suspense novel DON’T LOOK BACK was a 2014 nominated Best in Young Adult Fiction by YALSA. Her adult romantic suspense novel TILL DEATH was an Amazon Editor’s Pick and iBook Book of the Month.

It was barely six o’clock, and I wouldn’t have minded climbing into bed and calling it a day. I needed a vacation from my four-day mini vacation. Thank goodness I’d scheduled myself a weekend to recover. My girls’ trip/early bachelorette party in Vegas for my friend Anna—the one where we were all going to relax by the pool and get spa treatments—had turned into all-night clubbing and almost missing my flight home earlier today because I’d overslept. It had definitely been a while since I drank more than two glasses of wine in the span of a week, and I was feeling my ripe old age of twenty-eight before the sun had even set this Friday night. Thank God I didn’t have to work tomorrow. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I briefly considered going the hair-of-the-dog route and sucking back a vodka cran while zoning out on Netflix, but then my phone rang, crashing me back to reality. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><i>Ugh… </i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><i>Dad</i> flashed on the screen. I should’ve just gotten it over with and spoken to him, but I didn’t have the energy. Nonetheless, allowing myself to avoid the stress speaking to my father would inevitably cause reminded me of the other thing I needed to do that I’d been avoiding all afternoon. <i>Laundry</i>. One of my least-favorite tasks—mostly because it required me to sit downstairs in my building’s dingy basement laundry room. Up until a few months ago, I would start my laundry and come back forty-five minutes later to make the switch to the dryer. But that practice had come to a halt after one of my loads went missing—an entire load of wet bras and underwear. Who the hell stole wet clothes? At least nab dry ones. Nevertheless, it was an expensive lesson, and now I didn’t leave the basement until my clothes were washed and dried. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Sighing, I begrudgingly went to the bedroom, where my suitcase still sat on the bed, and unzipped it. I’d packed a linen skirt on top that I hadn’t wound up wearing, and I figured I’d hang it in the bathroom and hope the wrinkles worked themselves out over the course of a couple of steamy showers. I hated ironing almost as much as I hated doing laundry downstairs. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">But when I flipped open the top of the suitcase, my linen skirt wasn’t on top. At first I thought my bag must’ve been selected for search, and things hadn’t been put back in order… Though the wingtip shoe I lifted was most definitely not mine. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><i>Shit.</i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I rummaged through the suitcase in a panic. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Slacks, running clothes, a men’s dress shirt… A sickening feeling washed over me, and I scrambled to look at the luggage tag. I’d never filled out the identification card inside, but the leather had my initials embossed on the outside. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">And this one…had no initials. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><i>Crap. Crap. Crap. </i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I’d grabbed the wrong bag off the luggage carousel. I started to sweat. All of my makeup was in that bag! Not to mention a week’s worth of my best outfits and shoes.

I just felt like she was more in tune with who she was and what she had to do.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Trinity and Zayne together were quite the team and I just love them together. I really feel like they bring the best out of each other.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">I will also like to say that I really love Trinity and Cayman’s blossoming friendship in this book. Cayman has always been one of my favourite characters... he just has that something…</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Old and new characters make their appearance in this book, and some will leave a long-lasting impression on you that’s for sure. Lucifer being one of them. I liked the way he was portrayed in this book.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Overall, I really loved that series and as much as there is drama and action happening in it, Jen knows just how to add perfectly timed funny moments into the mix.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">So what is my final thought of this book? I LOVED IT!! You will go through a rollercoaster of emotions through this book that’s for sure. I just loved the story, the characters, etc. I just feel like it was the perfect way to wrap up Trinity and Zayne’s story.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Though can I just say how I am so sad to say goodbye to this world? I was really happy that Jen has decided to write to spin-off to the <i>Dark Elements series</i> and now that it’s over, I just want another one. I am sure that if one day, the inspiration comes to her, she could find a way back to this world… the possibilities are endless…</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">So do I recommend this series?

But that doesn't stop the childhood frenemies from reconnecting whenever one of them needs some help tackling any of life's major puzzles, like figuring out why getting what you always thought you wanted isn't living up to all the hype. They might constantly rub each other the wrong way (except for the times when they rub each other the really-really right way), but there is no denying they've always made one hell of a great team. They manage to balance each other out… when they aren't driving each other crazy.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">For Ry, he thought he had the perfect girl, the one who was going to run headfirst into a methodically planned future. He was going to marry young and have the same kind of legendary, life-long romance his parents did… or so he believed. His girl was going to stand by his side as he chased his dream of being a professional football player all the way to the NFL.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">He was wrong.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Now, Ry's gotta figure out the difference between a bruised heart and a broken one, and the only person who can teach him the difference is Bowe.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Bowe always felt like she had to run before she learned to walk to keep up with her father's musical legacy. He's her hero, and she wants nothing more than to make him proud. Bowe's about to figure out that maybe she wasn't meant to be in a rock and roll band and that it is possible she let her father's success cloud her idea of what making music should be. Bowe needs to find her own path to fame, and there's a good chance she wouldn't be brave enough or bold enough to start over if Ry Archer hadn't charmed his way back into her life when she least expected it.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Some days they're enemies.

She wants to revel in her happiness but first they must free his brother and find hers. It’s a dangerous mission and one with far-reaching consequences neither dreamed of. Because Poppy is the Chosen, the Blessed. The true ruler of Atlantia. She carries the blood of the King of Gods within her. By right the crown and the kingdom are hers. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><i><b>The enemy and the warrior… </b></i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Poppy has only ever wanted to control her own life, not the lives of others, but now she must choose to either forsake her birthright or seize the gilded crown and become the Queen of Flesh and Fire. But as the kingdoms’ dark sins and blood-drenched secrets finally unravel, a long-forgotten power rises to pose a genuine threat. And they will stop at nothing to ensure that the crown never sits upon Poppy’s head. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><b><i>A lover and heartmate…</i></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">But the greatest threat to them and to Atlantia is what awaits in the far west, where the Queen of Blood and Ash has her own plans, ones she has waited hundreds of years to carry out. Poppy and Casteel must consider the impossible—travel to the Lands of the Gods and wake the King himself. And as shocking secrets and the harshest betrayals come to light, and enemies emerge to threaten everything Poppy and Casteel have fought for, they will discover just how far they are willing to go for their people—and each other.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;

Kieran and Vonetta’s father stood to my right. Jasper had officiated the marriage between Casteel and me in Spessa’s End. He’d been there when Nyktos showed his approval by briefly turning day to night. But now, the steel-hued wolven’s lips peeled back, baring teeth that could tear through flesh and break bone. He was loyal to Casteel, and yet instinct told me that it wasn’t just the guards he warned. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Another snarl came from my left. In the shadows of the blood tree that had sprouted from where my blood had fallen and then grew to a massive height within seconds, a fawn-colored wolven crept into my line of sight, head dipped low, and wintery blue eyes iridescent. <i>Kieran</i>. He stared down Casteel. I didn’t understand why either of them would behave this way toward the Prince, but especially Kieran. He had been bonded to Casteel from birth, meant to obey and protect him at all costs. But he was more than a bonded wolven to Casteel. They were brothers, if not by blood then by friendship, and I knew they loved each other. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Right now, nothing about the way Kieran’s ears were pinned back was <i>loving</i>. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Unease skipped its way through me as Kieran sank down, the sleek muscles of his legs tensing as he prepared to attack…Casteel. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">My stomach plummeted. This wasn’t right. None of this was right. “No,” I rasped, my voice hoarse and barely recognizable, even to my ears. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Kieran didn’t appear to hear me or care. If he had been acting normally, I would’ve just assumed he was attempting to ignore me, but this was different. <i>He</i> was different. His eyes were brighter than I ever remembered seeing, and they weren’t right because they…they weren’t just blue now. His pupils glowed silvery-white, an aura that seeped out in wispy tendrils across the blue. My head jerked to Jasper. His eyes had changed, too. I’d seen that strange light before. It had been what my skin had done when I healed Beckett’s broken legs—the same silvery glow that had radiated from me minutes earlier. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Icy bursts of surprise raced through Casteel as he eyed the wolven, and then I felt…<i>relief</i> radiate from him. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“You all knew.” Casteel’s voice filled with awe, something no one standing behind him felt. Even the easy grin was absent from the auburn-haired Atlantian. Emil looked at us with wide eyes, broadcasting a healthy dose of fear, as did Naill, who had always appeared utterly unfazed by everything—even when he’d been outnumbered in battle.</span></div></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><div style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";"></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixYDPggbZ4bTolSwL8jyT_vYGoIeRhBETMmR07QX2MdY001bdPtDNEe8L1xDCcxasiU8WIoHbGaQcoVTfEbKhEiTZtw8zDGfoXeAL_ps5QlwZqaEQh4vKXUh8X4_eC-Mkgrftio4U_sCCF/s1600/Barre.png" style="background-color: white; color: #6a55b2; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" height="15" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixYDPggbZ4bTolSwL8jyT_vYGoIeRhBETMmR07QX2MdY001bdPtDNEe8L1xDCcxasiU8WIoHbGaQcoVTfEbKhEiTZtw8zDGfoXeAL_ps5QlwZqaEQh4vKXUh8X4_eC-Mkgrftio4U_sCCF/s400/Barre.png" style="border-image: none; border: medium; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="400" /></span></a></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: center;"><div style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilryWOvCPJ2L3EXwhO8WJ9haLPC4ViZKr6Fn32A3ThFP_k9uI2geAoOfIuBCXGXpmTor0QniF0g09BteR25uel7N-Lqk_4kGxmtF65mScQFvr8k1OOYgX4IEy24qJ7huQFqXWPqTYy7U3z/s1600/MoreIntotheSeries.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilryWOvCPJ2L3EXwhO8WJ9haLPC4ViZKr6Fn32A3ThFP_k9uI2geAoOfIuBCXGXpmTor0QniF0g09BteR25uel7N-Lqk_4kGxmtF65mScQFvr8k1OOYgX4IEy24qJ7huQFqXWPqTYy7U3z/s1600/MoreIntotheSeries.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b style="color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px;"></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="color: #7c7c7c; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #7c7c7c; line-height: 18.2px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhllblLy-xm_nv7gTennr77KnAlIYipNX4Q2Lx_HZkZN64tkUyW1NXO-fKw_8F53EIFjrjwqjKNEZgp1FWjGhgsZDaHjOuikz03d5888wSSmjTaJE9QqpqLgVoqFeijSXWGE7WcqnE3K487/s320/FromBloodandAsh.jpg" style="background-color: white; color: #6a55b2; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img align="RIGHT" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhllblLy-xm_nv7gTennr77KnAlIYipNX4Q2Lx_HZkZN64tkUyW1NXO-fKw_8F53EIFjrjwqjKNEZgp1FWjGhgsZDaHjOuikz03d5888wSSmjTaJE9QqpqLgVoqFeijSXWGE7WcqnE3K487/s320/FromBloodandAsh.jpg" style="border: none; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="211" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Here's a little bit about </b></span></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span><b><i>From Blood and Ash</i></b></span></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;">Add on [</b><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52831200-from-blood-and-ash" style="background-color: white; color: #6a55b2; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;" target="_blank">goodreads</a><b style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;">]</b><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>[</b><a href="https://julaliciousbookparadise.blogspot.com/2020/03/review-from-blood-and-ash-by-jennifer-l.html" target="_blank">review</a><b>]</b></span></span></div></span></div></div></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span><b><i>Captivating and action-packed, From Blood and Ash is a sexy, addictive, and unexpected fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J.

The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.</span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span><b>A Duty…</b></span></span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;">The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.</span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span><b>A Kingdom…</b></span></span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;">Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.</span></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c;

font-family: verdana;">Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him. The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him, and that’s one order she’s more than happy to obey. He may have taken her, but he will never have her.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><i>A Choice….</i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Casteel Da’Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows better than to trust him. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. But he’s the only way for her to get what she wants—to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all she’s ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself—about him. Plans that could bind their lives together in unexpected ways that neither kingdom is prepared for. And she’s far too reckless, too hungry, to resist the temptation.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><i>A Secret…</i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">But unrest has grown in Atlantia as they await the return of their Prince. Whispers of war have become stronger, and Poppy is at the very heart of it all. The King wants to use her to send a message. The Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen, the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to keep the truth hidden. But when the earth begins to shake, and the skies start to bleed, it may already be too late.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div style="color: #7c7c7c;

She wants to revel in her happiness but first they must free his brother and find hers. It’s a dangerous mission and one with far-reaching consequences neither dreamed of. Because Poppy is the Chosen, the Blessed. The true ruler of Atlantia. She carries the blood of the King of Gods within her. By right the crown and the kingdom are hers. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><i><b>The enemy and the warrior… </b></i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Poppy has only ever wanted to control her own life, not the lives of others, but now she must choose to either forsake her birthright or seize the gilded crown and become the Queen of Flesh and Fire.

Poppy and Casteel must consider the impossible—travel to the Lands of the Gods and wake the King himself. And as shocking secrets and the harshest betrayals come to light, and enemies emerge to threaten everything Poppy and Casteel have fought for, they will discover just how far they are willing to go for their people—and each other.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;

The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.</span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span><b>A Duty…</b></span></span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;">The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.</span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span><b>A Kingdom…</b></span></span><br /><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;">Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.</span></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c;

font-family: verdana;">Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him. The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him, and that’s one order she’s more than happy to obey. He may have taken her, but he will never have her.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><i>A Choice….</i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Casteel Da’Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows better than to trust him. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. But he’s the only way for her to get what she wants—to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all she’s ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself—about him. Plans that could bind their lives together in unexpected ways that neither kingdom is prepared for. And she’s far too reckless, too hungry, to resist the temptation.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><i>A Secret…</i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">But unrest has grown in Atlantia as they await the return of their Prince. Whispers of war have become stronger, and Poppy is at the very heart of it all. The King wants to use her to send a message. The Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen, the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to keep the truth hidden. But when the earth begins to shake, and the skies start to bleed, it may already be too late.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div style="color: #7c7c7c;

text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Seriously, I started this book the minute I was able to. Work didn’t matter nor did food or sleep. I needed to know just what was going to happen next after the way the Kingdom of Flesh and Fire ended. Only sometimes work and sleep did need to happen so it took me longer to read it, but honestly, you won’t be able to put this book down easily. If you loved the first two books, you are going to love this one.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">The Crown of Gilded Bones of course continues where the previous book left and I can honestly say that the first chapters of this book are intense with information, action and a lot of discoveries. You will have your jaw drop quite a few times in just the beginning.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Poppy and Casteel’s relationship is still growing stronger and throughout everything they have to deal with, they keep learning about one another. I feel like they understand each other more and more in each book. It’s not necessarily perfect, but you can’t deny the love these two have for each other.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">I particularly felt like we are getting to see a side of Casteel that was more vulnerable in this book and it just added a new layer to this character.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Poppy is still a badass and in this book, she proves just how far she has come since the first book. I loved that even if she had to mature a lot faster due to everything she learned, she still has a naive side that comes with her age and I feel like it makes her real (I really hope it makes sense).</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">It’s really hard to keep this spoiler free, but just be ready to be tore apart with this book. Jennifer jut knows where to hit us so that it hits us so hard that we have still yet not recovered from reading this book. The feels that this book gave me are so intense.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">As usual, you will see new faces and some of them I am still trying to think about what I think of them. I just feel like some characters are less discussed to keep us wondering about them or perhaps, it’s just my imagination, but you will have to judge for yourself.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Honestly, this book is just filled with new information that you don’t have a lot of time to try to think about what it means before something else hits you. Even in chapters that don’t necessarily have something happening will not let you relax one bit.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Jennifer L. Armentrout seems to have the gift to write a book that will make you go through a whirlwind of emotions and will still make us go back knowingly to the world she created to demand to be torn apart just a bit more with each new book.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">This is one of my favourite book series of hers and I just recommend to anyone who loves fantasy, romance, a kickass heroine and a story that will keep you guessing until the very end.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Overall, this book was just as amazing if not more as the first two books and I just can’t wait to see what she has in store for the next books.</span></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>I was giving an advanced copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.</i></span></span></div><div><span face="" style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><i><br /></i></span></span></div></div></div></div></div><div><div style="line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #7c7c7c; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #7c7c7c; line-height: 18.2px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixYDPggbZ4bTolSwL8jyT_vYGoIeRhBETMmR07QX2MdY001bdPtDNEe8L1xDCcxasiU8WIoHbGaQcoVTfEbKhEiTZtw8zDGfoXeAL_ps5QlwZqaEQh4vKXUh8X4_eC-Mkgrftio4U_sCCF/s1600/Barre.png" style="background-color: white; color: #6a55b2; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" height="15" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixYDPggbZ4bTolSwL8jyT_vYGoIeRhBETMmR07QX2MdY001bdPtDNEe8L1xDCcxasiU8WIoHbGaQcoVTfEbKhEiTZtw8zDGfoXeAL_ps5QlwZqaEQh4vKXUh8X4_eC-Mkgrftio4U_sCCF/s400/Barre.png" style="border-image: none; border: medium; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="400" /></span></a></div><div style="color: #7c7c7c;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRd14f1TzUNaiHNsO9xBy4g1KvVM8qHkyvSNmsxyqDG6eBsLV_SMwZnyHdSfal71W2I3ymRVvRpzegpMUzAASedK7JOlLhzie8cuRfVESOywfGrGe13KCMhkghd327IhZlcia9TQ4BOTxP/s1600/MeettheAuthor1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRd14f1TzUNaiHNsO9xBy4g1KvVM8qHkyvSNmsxyqDG6eBsLV_SMwZnyHdSfal71W2I3ymRVvRpzegpMUzAASedK7JOlLhzie8cuRfVESOywfGrGe13KCMhkghd327IhZlcia9TQ4BOTxP/s1600/MeettheAuthor1.png" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1svMQLYvZvGjAcf99d15GnDCc7I1tAbn54EKM7Nvi7e9dt5YhyJOuxd3g83A8Y1NNni3PErDMHP6xoTgfIO_Jz41ZVVJOshoqu2VTjcDQ8xJHElnhSR3S1pWk-EvhxsF5yyINYsN4kCbR/s1221/JLA+author.jpg" style="background-color: white; color: #6a55b2; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img align="LEFT" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1svMQLYvZvGjAcf99d15GnDCc7I1tAbn54EKM7Nvi7e9dt5YhyJOuxd3g83A8Y1NNni3PErDMHP6xoTgfIO_Jz41ZVVJOshoqu2VTjcDQ8xJHElnhSR3S1pWk-EvhxsF5yyINYsN4kCbR/w234-h320/JLA+author.jpg" style="border: none; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="234" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #7c7c7c; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana; line-height: 18.2px;"><b>About Jennifer L.

Besides the occasional reviews and posts, I have mostly been more active on my instagram than anywhere else.</span></p><p><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">I am working on trying to find myself more active on my blog and I hope that for the rest of 2021, I will be able to add more posts whether they are for releases, reviews, excerpts, etc.</span></p><p><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">My reading slump has been quite active too so that didn't help, but I'm working on trying to get myself out of it too.</span></p><p><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Reading and books always made me happy in the past and I want to get this feeling back into my life so I'm working on myself to find back my happy place.</span></p><p><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">I mostly feel like I'm writing this post for me to remind myself how this used to make me so much happy and even if I have glimpses from it from new book releases, it's not like it used to be and I miss it so much.</span></p><p><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">So I hope 2021 will be the year that I can get back in it and find back what I lost and if not that, to find a new way to enjoy my favorite pasttime.</span></p><p><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;">Have a nice day everyone and stay safe!</span></p><p><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><i><b>Julie</b></i></span></p><p><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p>Julalicious Book Paradisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14971621426326694043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872508850439271316.post-50811103694191055352021-04-12T15:05:00.002-04:002021-04-12T15:05:37.995-04:00Release Blitz: Not Pretending Anymore by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland<p> <span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaAURWAbbNtM0P4qhUh-Zkz09kcmd7sCuxO7TYASl9o1filVHR2tztIwK2uFDJndycSD7QWp2qqspgZlkyFg0pKitfOKuKbR1ZiGVhyphenhyphenpV1ylf77whyZkhniucsRCRqHlvnfcPoKg0m46Nv/s1640/RB+Banner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

This was the twelfth woman I’d interviewed as a prospective roommate. Just because she had a few safety pins in her eyebrow and what looked like a dog collar around her neck didn’t mean I should rule her out.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Oh. That’s nice. Are you a singer?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Lyric shook her head. “Drummer. Do you know the dimensions of the bedroom I’ll be sleeping in? I have two sets of drums I need to fit.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Umm... I think it’s fourteen by fourteen. But you don’t practice at home, right? I wrote in my ad that I’m looking for a quiet roommate because I work nights.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“I do. But no worries. I’ll practice in my room.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">My bedroom and my potential roommate’s bedroom shared a wall, so that was the end of interview number twelve. I sighed and forced a smile. “Thank you for coming. I have a few other people left to meet with before I decide. I’ll let you know.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Great.” The woman stood. “Also, I know your ad said two months’ rent up front, but I’m running a little short right now. Would one be okay?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I smiled. “Sure, no problem.” Since you’re not going to be living here.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">After Drummergirl, I interviewed two more candidates. One wanted her boyfriend to move into the room with her, even though my ad had specified I was only looking for a single. And the other arrived twenty minutes late, reeked of alcohol, and slurred her words…at three thirty in the afternoon. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Why in the hell was it so difficult to find a roommate in a city of almost three-million people? I needed my last interview of the day to be a miracle, or I was going to have to shell out money for another ad and start the entire process all over. And I definitely didn’t have the time or the funds for that. Rent was due in two weeks. If I got stuck paying the full amount on this place myself again, I’d be eating cat food for a month. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">When my last appointment knocked right on time, I took a deep breath, looked up at the ceiling, and asked the big guy in the sky for a little assistance. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Opening the door, I blinked a few times. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><i>Uhhh. I think you answered the wrong prayer, God.</i></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">A man stood in my hallway—and not just any man, an absolutely gorgeous one with a perfect, straight nose, cheekbones to die for, a masculine, square jaw, full lips, tanned skin, and the sexiest chocolate brown, almond-shaped eyes I’d ever seen in my life. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Uh. Can I help you?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">He flashed a killer smile, one that I immediately suspected had made countless women remove their panties. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Hi. I have a four-thirty appointment with Molly Corrigan.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“You do?” I had the last application in my hand and looked down at the name on the top. “I don’t think so. My appointment is with a D. Tate?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">He extended a hand. “That’s me. Declan Tate.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“But…you’re…not a woman.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">He smiled again. “You’re correct. Very observant. I am <i>most definitely</i> not a woman. But my last roommate told me I should’ve been because I use moisturizer at night and cried at the end of <i>Marley and Me</i>. And if I’m being honest, I also got a little watery at the end of <i>Toy Story</i>, so maybe I’m a bit of a wuss. Either way, I think you should consider those my positive feminine qualities.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I was thoroughly confused. “Umm… I’m sorry. You must’ve missed that my ad said <i>female only</i>.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Actually, I didn’t. But if you’ll give me just five minutes, I think I can convince you I would be a better roommate than a woman.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I chuckled. “Let me get this straight… You hid your first name—what did you say it was again?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Declan.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Right. Declan. Anyway, you applied to an ad for a female roommate, intentionally deceiving the person who is going to decide if you get the room by leaving your first name off. And your strategy is to convince me I don’t really know what I want in less than five minutes? Do I have that right?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">He flashed that boyish charm again. “You sure do.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I debated how to handle the situation. On one hand, he was going to waste my time, and I had done enough of that today. But on the other, my curiosity was definitely piqued. Something about his grin told me this could be amusing. <i>Screw it.</i> I had nothing better to do anyway.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I opened the door wider and stepped aside, holding my hand out for him to enter. “I’m setting the timer on my phone, and I’m getting a glass of wine before you start. I like a drink while I’m being entertained.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Declan smirked and strolled into my apartment. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I motioned to the couch. “Have a seat. I’ll just be a minute.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">When I got to the kitchen, he called after me, “Hey, Mollz?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I turned back. “Yes?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“How about you make that two glasses of wine?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I chuckled. “Sure. Why not, <i>Decs</i>.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I poured a couple of glasses of pinot grigio and returned to the living room. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Here you go. Hope you like white.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“You see? We’re perfect together already. I prefer white over red.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I brought my wine to my lips. “Yes, perfect. A match made in heaven. I think we might even be soul mates.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Declan showed me his pearly whites once again. He really did have a great smile, nice teeth, too. Too bad he also had a <i>penis</i>. I knocked back half the contents of my glass and placed it on the coffee table. Picking up my cell, I swiped to the timer app and set it for five minutes. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I showed him the screen. “You ready?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“I’m always ready.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I pressed start, placed the phone face up on the coffee table between us, and folded my hands. “Go.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Okay. Well…what’s your favorite color?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“My favorite color?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Declan pointed to the timer. “Time’s a ticking, Molly. I’m going to need you to not repeat questions.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I laughed. “Fine. My favorite color is pink.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Declan reached into one of his pant pockets and pulled out a set of keys. The keychain had a bunch of pink beads with white letters between each one. The letters spelled out his name. “Mine too.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I arched a brow. “Did you make that yourself?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“No. My niece, Arianna, made it for me.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“So how do I know that isn’t just Arianna’s favorite color?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Good point. Let’s move on. Your ad said you work nights.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“That’s right. I’m a nurse. I work the night shift on the maternity ward.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“So you sleep during the day, then?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“I get off at seven, and I try to get to sleep as soon as I get home.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">He held his hand to his chest. “I work days. I leave for the gym by six and usually don’t get home until after seven at night. So the apartment will be quiet when you need it to be.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I nodded. “Okay. I’ll give you that that would make you a good roommate. But most people work days, so it’s not really something that makes you too special.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Do you cook?” he said.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Does macaroni and cheese count?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“I grew up in a multigenerational Italian home. My nonna taught me how to make sauce from scratch.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“So you’re going to cook for me?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“If that’s what it takes to get this apartment, yes.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“As tempting as that might be, there’s an Italian restaurant around the corner that makes great food. Funny enough, it’s called Nonna’s Place, and an <i>actual nonna </i>makes most of my meals. Not a knockoff.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Declan took an exaggerated breath and blew it out. He glanced at the cell on the table. “Three minutes and thirty-eight seconds. I can see you’re not going to make this easy. How about you tell me why you can’t have a male roommate so I can address that head-on. Is it because of the toilet-seat thing? Because I have four older sisters, so I’m appropriately trained. When I was eight, I made the mistake of leaving it up once, and my sister sat down where I’d accidentally left a little pee. She dunked my head in the toilet bowl<i> before</i> she flushed. That was the last time I left the seat up.” He held up three fingers. “Scout’s honor. It won’t be an issue.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I smiled. “It’s not because of the toilet thing.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Alright. So why don’t you want a male roommate, then?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I’d actually never given much thought to why my roommate had to be female. It just seemed natural to have another woman sharing the apartment. “Well…I don’t really have a specific reason. I would just be more comfortable living with another woman. For example, I sleep in a T-shirt and underwear. When I get up to start the coffee, I don’t get dressed. It would be weird to do that in front of a man.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Why?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Why would it be weird to walk around with my ass cheeks on display in front of a man and not a woman?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Yes.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I shrugged. “I don’t know. It just would. I guess because the women I’ve lived with aren’t attracted to other women, so it doesn’t feel sexual in any way.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Ah. Now we’re getting to the crux of your issue. So you’re afraid of some sexual tension going on between you and me? Is it because I’m so handsome?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“What? <i>No! </i>And aren’t you full of yourself, assuming I think you’re handsome, and I’m worried I won’t be able to control myself.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Just keeping it real, Mollz. You’re only giving me five minutes, so I’m trying to get to the heart of the reason.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“I guess I just don’t want to feel like I have to cover up to come out of my bedroom. When I dry my hair, I wear a towel or a bra and underwear—that type of thing.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Would you feel you had to cover up if I told you I was gay?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">That question gave me pause. <i>Would I? </i>I wasn’t sure. “Are you?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Fuck, no. I was just trying to pinpoint your issue. Is it the fact that I’m a man, or the fact that I might admire your ass if it were on display? Sounds like it’s the latter. So let me put your mind at ease: I won’t.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I felt oddly offended. “What’s wrong with my ass?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">He chuckled. “I wouldn’t know. I haven’t looked. You know why?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Why?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Because I’m in love with someone else.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">As insane as it was, I felt a pang of jealousy. “Oh. Well, why aren’t you moving in with her?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Because she doesn’t return the feelings…yet. So basically, if your concern about having a guy for a roommate is that he’s going to be checking you out, you have nothing to worry about with me. I’m a one-woman man. If you want, I can give you the numbers of some of my exes for references. I’m no cheater.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><i>Hmmm…</i> “I don’t know…”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Declan looked down at the clock. Thirty-one seconds were left. “We’re running out of time, so we need to speed things up. How about if I just give you the facts you need to know?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“That would be good.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“I’m twenty-eight years old. I make six figures. My credit score is eight hundred and ten, and I have references from previous landlords. I’m neat and clean up after myself. I’m not home a lot, but when I am, I’m pretty quiet. I’m also damn good with a hammer.” He glanced around my apartment and pointed at a hole I’d accidentally made in the wall when I flung the closet door open too hard. “I can spackle that and put on a door stopper so it won’t happen again.” He pointed to the kitchen. “And those cabinets are pretty tall. I’m six foot one. No more having to stand on a chair to reach something on the top shelf. And—”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">The timer on the stopwatch buzzed.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Can I just say one last thing?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Sure. Why not?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“I’ll share my Hulu and Netflix passwords. I have the <i>premium</i> Hulu account.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I laughed. “Well, those are some pretty enticing qualities for a roommate.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">He smiled. “So I’m in?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I sighed. “I’m sorry. While I appreciate your tenacity, unfortunately, you’re not. Though I interviewed fourteen other people today, and I have to say, you do seem like you’ll make some other lucky person a fantastic roomie.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Declan frowned, but nodded. “I figured it was worth a shot. This is a great building, and I work right around the corner. It’s hard to find an apartment where it’s only a six-month commitment.” </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“My lease is up then, and I haven’t decided if I’m going to extend or not.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“See? That’s another reason I’d be perfect. I’m only in town for six more months.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“I’m sorry. This is definitely a case of <i>it’s me and not you</i>.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">He picked up his wine and guzzled it down before standing and extending his hand. “I appreciate you giving me your time. And thanks for the pinot.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">We shook. “It was nice to meet you, Declan.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">After I walked him out, I shut the door and leaned back against it. What a shame; he really seemed like a nice guy and the best candidate I’d met <i>by a mile</i>. I was just about to go wallow in another glass of alcohol when there was a knock at my door. Checking the peephole before opening, I found Declan standing there. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“I forgot something important,” he said.</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Oh? What’s that?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">He took out his wallet and produced a photo of a nun. “This is my sister Catherine, and it’s not a costume from Halloween. She’s a legit nun. How bad can a person be if his sister is a nun?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I laughed. “Is this the sister who dunked your head in the toilet?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">He grinned. “It is, actually.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Well, I’m not sure there’s a direct correlation between your sister deciding to dedicate her life to the church and you being a good person. Though, even if I take your word for it, it still doesn’t change my answer.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Declan’s shoulders drooped. “Had to try. She tells me her being a nun won’t get me into heaven. Thought maybe it was good for <i>something</i>.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Goodbye, Declan.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Later, Mollz.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">***</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“So…how’s the roommate search going?” Emma poured a cup of coffee and sat down at the small table in our break room. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I sighed. “Why is it so hard to find a normal person these days? I’ve interviewed more than a dozen people, and not one suitable candidate.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Did you post an ad on the employee bulletin board, like I suggested?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">I shook my head. “I don’t want another nurse or tech. It makes it weird at work if things don’t work out.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Maybe Dr. Dandy will apply.” She wiggled her eyebrows. “I heard he’s sleeping on Dr. Cohen’s couch until he finds a place.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">That information certainly perked me up. “Really? Will and whatshername broke up?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Yup. Lisa in X-ray told me Dr. Cohen told her he’s staying with him. Apparently he and the wannabe actress are finito.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Wow.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Emma smiled. “Yup. And fair warning, my friend… I’m allowing a ten-day grace period for him to grieve the end of a year-long relationship. But after that, I’m going to be up your butt making sure you let the man know you’re interested. He’s not going to be on the market for long, and you missed your opportunity last time he was single. You can’t keep pining for the guy.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Of course she was right. And while I felt elated that Will was back on the market, the thought of coming clean to him about my feelings made me want to throw up. Will Daniels—or as Emma called him, <i>Dr. Dandy</i>, because of his last name and uncanny resemblance to a male model named David Gandy—and I had been good friends for four years now. We’d started on the very same day at the hospital and had gone through orientation together. I’d had a boyfriend back then, and he’d been seeing a girl from med school at the time, so even though I’d always thought he was insanely handsome, things didn’t bloom until two years ago. And most of the time since then, he’d been seeing one woman or another. Emma was right that the man never seemed to stay single for long. </span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“He’s going to be at happy hour this Friday night,” I said. “A few of the crew from CCU are meeting up over at McBride’s. I’m curious to hear what he says about the breakup.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Does he know you’re looking for a roommate?”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“I don’t think so.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Well, he needs a place to sleep, and you need a roomie.” Emma shrugged. “Timing is everything. Maybe it’s fate and he’ll move in and take care of <i>two</i> of your needs.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“I think your imagination might be getting ahead of itself. Why don’t we start by seeing if things are really over with him and whatshername? They’ve split up a few times, but he always winds up going back.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Okay. But I have a good feeling about you two.”</span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Could you possibly have a good feeling about me finding a roommate instead?

Fight club helps her beat back her survivor’s guilt, but it means dealing with Riddick.

This is the fourth book in my Warrior Fight Club contemporary romance series, which mixes military and sports romance elements to tell the story of an MMA training club which creates a found family for veterans transitioning to civilian life and dealing with their war-borne demons. In Fighting the Fire, Sean and Daniela are two of my favorite characters I've ever written--they're both strong, loyal, snarky, and hiding some pretty deep hurts that in the end make them so perfect for each other. And all that frenemies tension makes the chemistry between them hot AF! I hope you love them as much as I do!</div><div><br /></div><div>xx Laura Kaye</div></i></span></div></div><div><div><div style="line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><span face=""verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif" style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div></div></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixYDPggbZ4bTolSwL8jyT_vYGoIeRhBETMmR07QX2MdY001bdPtDNEe8L1xDCcxasiU8WIoHbGaQcoVTfEbKhEiTZtw8zDGfoXeAL_ps5QlwZqaEQh4vKXUh8X4_eC-Mkgrftio4U_sCCF/s1600/Barre.png" style="background-color: white; color: #6a55b2; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" height="7" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixYDPggbZ4bTolSwL8jyT_vYGoIeRhBETMmR07QX2MdY001bdPtDNEe8L1xDCcxasiU8WIoHbGaQcoVTfEbKhEiTZtw8zDGfoXeAL_ps5QlwZqaEQh4vKXUh8X4_eC-Mkgrftio4U_sCCF/s200/Barre.png" style="border-image: none; border: medium; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="200" /></span></a></div></div></div></div></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2lGSJpD_3C6_uje2f4iExgGlRH8xTvfaOklp6Y-pyciELx67LDNHQVSQTTkAOk0j1MMK2O1_F7tUOlaiOlxulARc7yVGQ8bcxJMQVnkBjdxq3SfplimDpBHGFKhC61h8FBTkE0xNzsJ2Y/s1600/Excerpt.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2lGSJpD_3C6_uje2f4iExgGlRH8xTvfaOklp6Y-pyciELx67LDNHQVSQTTkAOk0j1MMK2O1_F7tUOlaiOlxulARc7yVGQ8bcxJMQVnkBjdxq3SfplimDpBHGFKhC61h8FBTkE0xNzsJ2Y/s1600/Excerpt.png" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #7c7c7c; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAGx918PRlRTClIMJiWfWJo53NGzBXzJ6D0mV-JQtp_J86IrO3oAAMQirpDwQ1BgtyerwzPZ-kCPCxplwGoDtLSIRyroeHg3AfEpKwovNuNyoV1fFmweaLxuz5f3lrRNf5z-5gHTZPGivm/s1600/FightingtheFire_ExcerptReveal_teaser1.jpg" style="font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="838" data-original-width="1600" height="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAGx918PRlRTClIMJiWfWJo53NGzBXzJ6D0mV-JQtp_J86IrO3oAAMQirpDwQ1BgtyerwzPZ-kCPCxplwGoDtLSIRyroeHg3AfEpKwovNuNyoV1fFmweaLxuz5f3lrRNf5z-5gHTZPGivm/s400/FightingtheFire_ExcerptReveal_teaser1.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">The next thing Dani knew, she was over Sean’s shoulder and being carried into the house. Up the stairs.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Sean, put me down. You’re gonna hurt yourself, you big idiot!” She tried to twist out of his hold, but his arm was tight around the backs of her legs.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“I’m fuckin’ fine,” he said in a sexy growl. “And we both know you like getting held down, so don’t pretend that this isn’t making you wet.”</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">“Damn you,” she said, dizzy more from the force of her arousal than hanging upside down.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">He let out a sexy chuckle as he started up the stairs to his second floor. Her thinking brain wanted her to tell him he was going to hurt himself again, but she surrendered to the baser part of herself. The part that knew Sean was right.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">She was already wet.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">He dropped her unceremoniously on his big bed. The gray-and-white-striped sheets were messy, and the hunter green comforter was folded back, all as if Sean had just rolled out of bed. It made it feel more intimate, somehow, like she was seeing into a part of his life that she wasn’t meant to see. She rolled to find Sean tearing the button-down off, exposing those muscled shoulders and ridged abdomen. His bruising wasn’t quite as dark now, and in places was turning yellow-green as it healed.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;">Dani’s gaze dropped down to the considerable bulge that filled out the front of his jeans.

I’d received an unexpected invitation to one of the swankiest venues in the city. </span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Hudson was a groomsman and quite possibly the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on. He asked me to dance, and our chemistry was off the charts. </span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">I knew it wasn’t a good idea to get involved with him, considering the wedding I was at.

You see, that unexpected invitation I received? Well, it hadn’t actually been addressed to me—it was sent to my ex-roommate who’d bounced a check for two months’ rent and moved out in the middle of the night. I figured she owed me an expensive night out, but I guess, technically, I was crashing the wedding.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Once caught, I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. As I bolted for the door, I might’ve plucked a few bottles of expensive champagne off the tables I passed, all while the gorgeous, angry groomsman was hot on my tail. </span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Outside, I jumped into a taxi.

text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">This story was seriously a rollercoaster of feelings. I really felt invested in the characters and their arcs and I just wanted them to have their happy ending.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Salinger is the kind of character that you will either like or really love. I don’t think you can actually hate him. When you start the story, you want to dislike him, but as it goes on, you get to realize what kind of man he’s working to be and you just want him to succeed.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Maren is a character you feel for her after what she was put through. She wanted to do a good thing and it turned on her, but even being older than him, I feel like it took her even more time to realize that some of her resentment was misplaced. Not completely, but a part of it. Through this book, you can see her grow as much as Salinger does.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Both characters are so relatable and I loved that it took time for both of them to get where they ended up. I really felt like they both brought something to each other and it just made the story even better. I could have read a whole series just about them honestly.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">You can also tell that she had a lot of fun writing these characters and this story. I will admit that I enjoyed other secondary characters in it and I would be more than happy to read more about them. Some characters I just wanted to see crawl under a bus, but I will leave it at that hahaha</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Overall, I am happy that this was my last book of 2020 because I really feel like I’m finishing the year with such a banger. This book was really amazing and you guys need to get your hands on it and devour it just like a did.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394;
