RELEASE DAY BLITZ: Abducted by K.I. Lynn

Title: Abducted
Collection: Sinister Fairy Tales Collection
Author: K.I. Lynn
Genre: Dark Fairy Tale Retelling
Release Date: May 5, 2020

The mafia never lets you go.
I thought I was safe, free, but I never expected to find myself locked in a cage.
I’m in his territory. His prison.
The beast.
A fate worse than death awaits me if I can’t get away, so when the opportunity of salvation presents itself I grab it, even if I’m unsure if I can trust the hand I’m holding.
The only way out is through, exposing secrets and spilling blood.
Things aren’t how they appear. Nobody is what they seem.
Not even me.


Prologue - 
Somewhere in Chicago… 
The chains chafed my wrists, making me wish I were still in my cage. Though it lacked privacy, the cage at least had a bed, and in there I wasn’t restrained with my arms above my head. But I was in Domenico’s domain. The small bedroom-like area was created from a previous office. There was a lamp and a mattress with a blanket, but those were the only creature comforts. The rest of the room retained both the look and smell of the rest of the decaying structure. 
With no way to tell time, I wasn’t sure how long I’d been there. All I knew was that I was tired. Being held against my will caused spikes in my adrenaline, and the subsequent crashes left me drained. The small panic attacks had lessened over the past few weeks, but there was an undercurrent of strife, and I feared what would happen if things got out of control. 
I stared at the bed, wishing I were on it. All that did was cause the memories of him inside me to come slamming down. The absolute owning of my body by him and him alone. The way he made me come undone. 
Feelings that I shouldn’t have with his touch, but I did. 
Feelings I drowned in as he consumed me. 
I am Domenico’s…for now. 
And that was the thought that always sent questions spiraling out of control and a spike of fear to run through me. 
I was a caged bird. A pet awaiting a sentence bound to be more grim than any fairy-tale horror.

Sonja's Review


I was a little more nervous to start the next book in the Sinister Fairy Tales Collection than usual because I had read a book that Ms. Lynn co-wrote with another author and while I didn’t have any issues with the writing, it was angstier than I was expecting and since I don’t like a lot of angst, I just didn’t enjoy myself very much. So I went into Abducted on edge and I kind of low-key stayed that way until almost the very end, though I really did have a good time reading this book the whole way through. I loved Domenico and Arabella’s relationship so much, their love for each is epic and unquestionable. My heart melted for them and they gave me all the warm, fuzzy feelings. Abducted was exciting and so full of passion, action, and love — I just absolutely loved it, I’m so glad I read it and I will definitely read Ms. Lynn again!

RELEASE BLITZ REVIEW: Guarding Temptation by Talia Hibbert

GUARDING TEMPTATION: A DIRTY BRITISH NOVELLA BY TALIA HIBBERT

Protective. Obsessive. And rough around the edges.

James Foster knows the rules: you don’t fall for your best friend’s little sister. Nina is too young, too reckless, and too busy saving the world to be tied down by the commitment he craves.

If he was smart, he’d stop wanting her. But she’s the one thing on earth James just can’t quit.

Fierce. Principled. And impossible to resist.

Political campaigner Nina Chapman is sick of one-time things. She wants forever, and she wants it with her brother’s best friend—but James still sees her as a child to be coddled.

So when a radical article lands Nina in hot water, she quickly finds herself under his protection and under his roof. It’s a shame James doesn’t want her in his bed, too.
…Or does he?

Warning: this red-hot novella contains one radical leftist heroine, one over-protective hero, one annoying childhood nickname, and a shared apartment with only one bed. Also, Brexit. But not too much, I promise.

Please note: a version of Guarding Temptation was previously published as Resisting Desire in the Rogue Nights anthology. This version has been revised and expanded to double its previous length.

Sonja's Review


I recently read Talia Hibbert’s Get a Life, Chloe Brown and I fell in love with it and her writing, so when I saw she had something new coming out, I jumped at the chance to read it! This book grabbed me from the get-go and I was completely invested in Nina and James working through their issues and living out their HEA. Guarding Temptation was so steamy and sweet, it melted my heart and totally made me squee — I just adored it! It was absolutely lovely and I am for sure going to be reading Jasmine and Rahul’s book soon!
