4 Star Yearning
The Yearning - Tina Donahue

 

She’s fighting a losing battle against a jealous rival’s curse that forces Jasmine to seek carnal pleasure, no matter the danger. Max has a raw sexuality that just might be enough to break the curse, so Jasmine only has one choice – imprison him in her bed and feed on his passion. He’s no woman’s sex slave, but Mike senses her vulnerability and desperation. Mike resurrects his telekinetic power to free himself so he can find the curse’s source and defeat it before the curse takes Jasmine’s life.

 

‘The Yearning’ is a very suspenseful, engaging story that is as scorching hot as it is emotionally gripping ensuring that readers can’t put the story down. The characters are strong and believable, making sure that readers can understand that everything that they are going through and the relationship is full of steamy, red hot passion and turbulent emotions that singes the readers’ fingertips as they turn the pages. The plot is steady paced and while it doesn’t have a lot of action and the finding of and dealing with of the jealous rival is a little on the fast side, it still has the readers biting their nails in suspense and wonder, while also providing a few chuckles.

Recent Release Review! SiNN by Tina Donahue!
SiNN - Tina Donahue

 

 

She's every man's carnal fantasy...and the target of one’s revenge.

At a Phoenix gentleman’s club, Lea dances as SiNN, her body bared and vulnerable to her male partner, her features hidden behind a feathered mask. To the men watching, she’s a sensual enigma, submissive and seductive with no face, name, or history. Not even Lea knows her real origins.

 

A man from the past does – and he wants her dead.

That won’t happen on the watch of Deputy U.S. Marshals Jake and Toby. Commanding and decisive, Jake not only wants Lea’s safety but to have her yielding beneath him. To Toby, she’s all he should resist but cannot.

Protected by them at a secluded estate, Lea’s drawn to their potent masculinity and the raw male lust in their eyes. Inviting desire and an emotional connection, she submits to both at once, surrendering to their most shameless hunger along with her own wanton needs.

 

All while a killer edges closer…

Publisher’s Note: This steamy adult romance full of suspense and desire also includes elements of power exchange.

 

 


Caution – This book is red hot and will singe your senses!

 

SINN starts off hot and only get hotter the more you read so I had to turn the fans on high in order to finish reading this book. Lea, Jake and Toby are strong characters that have an abundance of electrifying chemistry and sensual allure. The attraction as well as the passion in this story is fast paced and produces flames that burn the pages as well as all available surfaces and the relationship grows from there although the romance between this threesome isn’t assured because there is a bit of turbulence as well, another words the story is very erotic with lots of mf and mfm scenes with elements of power exchange, but it also has a story which makes it a great read.

 

Like I said above, the story is fast paced but along with the relationship the story also has some thrills and suspense as the reason Toby and Jake show up in Lea’s life is because a very bad man has set his mind up to kill her and he doesn’t intend for her death to be an easy one. I have to tell you that the story focuses on the erotic as even the bad man imagines erotic scenes.

 

I found this one to be one supremely steamy read that I couldn’t put down until I had read every delicious word.

I'm an Amazon and international bestselling novelist who writes passionate romance for every taste - 'heat with heart' - for traditional publishers and indie. Booklist, Publisher's Weekly, Romantic Times, and numerous online sites have praised my work. I've won Readers' Choice Awards, was named a finalist in the EPIC competition, received a Book of the Year Award, The Golden Nib Award, awards of merit in the RWA Holt Medallion competitions, and second place in the NEC RWA contests. I'm featured in the Novel and Short Story Writer's Market. Before penning romances, I worked at a major Hollywood production company in Story Direction.

 

On a less serious note: I'm an admitted and unrepentant chocoholic, brake for Mexican restaurants, and have been known to moan like Meg Ryan in "When Harry Met Sally" while wolfing down tostadas. I've flown a single-engine airplane (freaking scary), rewired an old house using an 'electricity for dummies' book, and am horribly shy despite the hot romances I write.

5 STAR Release Day Review! Wicked Design (Wicked Brand #4) TinaDonahue!
Wicked Design - Tina Donahue

 

 

"Tina Donahue's stories are wickedly seductive, full of hot, irresistible men and heart-pounding romances." – Kathy Kulig, New York Times & USA Today bestselling author

 

Clover wants Van Gogh. Bad. He’s the hottest ink artist at Wicked Brand and makes her blood race. Trouble is, he hasn’t noticed her. She’s determined to change that. Starting with letting him get under her skin—literally. But then the tattoo consultation goes a little deeper than expected.

 

In a night of wicked hot fun, she brings out his sexy beast. Talk about a major transformation. Soon they’re sneaking into the shop after hours to play with his chair and breaking in his new handcuffs. But when their differences start to arise, she’s not sure where all this hot sex will lead...

 

Each book in the Wicked Brand series is STANDALONE:
* Wicked Takeover
* Wicked Seduction
* Wicked Times Two
* Wicked Design

 

 

Clover and Van Gogh (V) are two strong, enchanting characters that stole my heart, both vulnerable and courageous, both shy and daring, both immensely sexual and playful. They were easily related and drew me in and refused to let go until I had read every part of their story, some of which was sweet, some was so hot that flames were pouring from the pages and some was heart breaking, so the story made me feel a whole lot of different emotions throughout the story including some chuckles. Not many romances show the male heroine as vulnerable as this romance does and I it was also very realistic with the situations and events that took place, especially how someone not used to attention and suddenly getting it might react and behave.

 

Tina Donahue always brings her wonderful characters and delightful world to vivid life, so visiting with the characters of Wicked Brand is always a treat, but I might just have to say that Wicked Design is my favorite of the series. And let me tell you that I could definitely picture the ink, that V wore and the jewelry that Clover made, so I am wondering if cuffs like Clover Cuffs really exist.

Release Day Review! Wicked Times Two (Wicked Brand # 3) Tina Donahue
Wicked Times Two (Wicked Brand Book 3) - Tina Donahue

 

 

Burned by her cheating boyfriend, Jasmina is finished with the idea of forever after with any guy. That fairy tale doesn’t exist—at least not for her. From now on, protecting her heart and letting pleasure rule is her motto.

 

Lucky for her, she has the perfect men in mind. Noah and Kyle, two of the hottest cops in West Palm Beach. She hasn’t been able to get them out of her head since they handled an altercation at Wicked Brand, the tattoo parlor she manages. When they come back to get inked, sparks fly.

 

Noah’s ready to play, and Kyle’s on board. All they want is her—submission, bondage, spanking…no strings or regrets. Seductive days roll into steamy nights, igniting feelings the guys hadn’t expected and Jasmina can’t deny.

 

What began as a sensual adventure could turn into so much more…if Jasmina can risk a different kind of love.

 

Each book in the Wicked Brand series is STANDALONE:
* Wicked Takeover
* Wicked Seduction 
* Wicked Times Two

 

 

 

HOT! HOT! HOT!

 

Wonderful, solid and compelling characters that grabs readers’ attention and refuse to let go. The chemistry between Jasmina and her two sexy cops is electrifying and readers can fell it as it practically leaps off the pages and this romance isn’t all about the heat, although I promise you there is plenty of that, it’s about building a unorthodox relationship between one woman and two men.

Readers can’t help but get caught up in the suspense, the burn and the emotional turbulence that builds through the story as what starts out as something fun turns into so much more.

 

I haven’t read the first two books in the Wicked Brand series yet, but I will definitely be taking care of that. I was completely caught up in the story from the very beginning and I am looking forward to reading more about Wicked Brand.

 

 

 

Wicked Times Two is the 3rd Book in the Wicked Brand series.

 

And is available in ebook at:

Amazon   B&N   Kobo   GPlay   eBooks

Underwhelmed
The Boy Who Drew Monsters - Keith Donohue

I read this for the Horror square. 

 

I agree with Moonlight Reader that ultimately this book really was underwhelming. I think all of the elements of a good horror story were there, but the characters, the slowly moving plot (and not in a good way by the way) and the ending just left me cold. And I also didn't really feel annoyed enough to rate this lower or like it enough to write it higher than I did. I just feel indifferent, hence the three stars. I can see why there are comparisons to "The Turn of the Screw" but that book built tension in a great way. You don't know whose telling the truth because of the way it's written. You are shown the truth really early on,and then there's a mild twist thrown your way at the end. 

 

"The Boy Who Drew My" is about a ten year old boy named Jack who's on the Asperger's scale. Growing up in Maine, with his caretaker father (Tim) and his lawyer mother (Holly), Jack is worried that due to his behavior he's going to be sent away. By the way this kid has like a thousand names in this book so enjoy that when he's being referred to by different people. I think the author did that as a way to show how nobody really gets this kid, but it was annoying as a reader to just try to keep deciphering all the names.

 

Three years ago when Jack was playing in the ocean with his best friend Nicholas he almost drowned. Since then he is afraid to leave the house and doesn't go to school or play with his friends. The only boy who still plays with him is childhood friend Nick. And even Nick finds it wearing to be around Jack. Jack has become obsessed with drawing and after a time you start to realize that what Jack draws, seems to have a foothold in the real world.

 

 

Holly is in despair about what's their life's going to become now that Jack is getting older and stronger. His father Tim is just an a******. That's all I'm going to say about him. Every time we shifted to that character I just kept hoping that something would eat him. So things are going along like this when things come to a head when Nick comes to stay with the family while his parents go out on a cruise..

 

The parts that I liked dealt with Holly, Jack, and Nick. I liked it when Holly started to retreat back into her childhood faith in Catholicism and seeks out the local priest to share her troubles. The priest and his housekeeper end up giving her some guidance with the housekeeper much more helpful.

 

I'm going to ultimately say I was disappointed with this because I thought that the book was kind of turning into a type of Japanese horror book which I would have loved a lot more than what we got. There were hints here and there that's where the author was going and then it's like he forgot about it halfway through and went in the other direction. I mean I felt like I just read the book version of a M Night Shyamalan movie.

 

The writing I thought was good the author definitely can write a phrase. I also felt like I was in Maine in winter on a desolate stretch of beach and sea.

 

The flow was a chore though. I think the reason why it was though was the fact that as a reader you're already given an insight into what is going on. So it's not a surprise to you. It's very annoying to read about people who were super clueless. Holly and Tim were in turns mocking, inquisitive, and dismissive every time any of the children tried to tell them what was going on. And at this point I don't understand why they were acting that way considering how many strange things were going on around them.

 

Maine in the winter term at Christmas time was a great setting for this book. I felt cold and alone just as I think the author wanted me to feel.

 

 

The ending fell flat. I don't think the author got that it painted two characters in a very bad light since you can guess what's going to happen from there.
