Temperance by Lark Taylor

Damned Connections Book 3

This is the third book of the Damned Connections series and this book's story starts before the beginning of Patience. We follow Toby, a vampire and Blaise, a fire mage and their story towards love. 

We have had many interactions between Toby and Blaise, in both Patience and Justice, that in this book get explained.

Blaise is hurting and hating himself after some bad choices left a human dying on a classroom floor. And even if said human and all of his friends tell him that it’s okay to move on, he can’t seem to do it. He doesn't believe he deserves anything good in his life. He just wants to find peace and can Toby be the one giving it to him?

Toby is a caretaker and a dom, but after a couple of relationships implode, he is now guarding his heart. But when he sees Blaise struggle, he can’t help himself and offers Blaise a contract to be his sub. The contract is strict, with an end date set. But will they manage to abide by the rules set or will their hearts overrule the mind and give them love and peace?

I liked the dynamic between Toby and Blaise. Where Toby, as the caretaker, does everything in his power to guide Blaise and show him that he is cherished and loveable. It is also a book that will take you through all the emotions. I cried, laughed, swooned, and felt enormous joy but also so much pain. 

This book was so good and it tackled some heavier subjects like; depression, anxiety attacks and PTSD. I haven't read many PNR books where this is the main plot point of the book and that in itself is refreshing. Mind you I haven’t read many PNR books, so I may have missed out.

Also, I caution you to read the author's notes and warnings before reading this book if the above-mentioned subject is something that can be triggering for you.

Love Emma

ARC Review - Loving Leo by Cora Rose & Nicole Dykes

  Loving Leo by Cora Rose and Nicole Dykes Behind the Camera Book 4 This was a fun quick read about Leo and Heath. Leo is an up-and-coming cam boy who wants the shot at becoming one of the stars on Carter's exclusive site. But in his quest to stardom he needs to take some risks, risks like filming content in an office that belongs to the man, Heath, he technically works for. But boy is it worth the risk when he is interrupted and the fans go bananas over him getting caught. This begins a cat-and-mouse game where they tease and taunt each other. But the taunting turns into getting to know each other and the connection they felt when they first meet turns into something more. This was a shorter read but oh so funny and steamy. Leo is a darling and Heath is a grump with heart and they mesh well. Even with the age gap and monetary imbalance, they find things in common and that makes them work. Heath is a jealous bean but also very supportive of Leo and I can get behind that. Leo is che...

Review - Humility by Lark Taylor

                                                                   4,5⭐️ Humility by Lark Taylor Damned Connections Book 4 I have been patiently waiting to find out how Danny and Riley became a couple and I wasn't disappointed. We start with a bang (pun intended) and then we have a five-year time jump. In this book, the time jump makes so much sense. Throughout the book, we get tidbits on how their friendship grew and evolved to the place they are today. Without that, I think what happens next wouldn't work. We needed the stability and knowledge that these two were thick as thieves and know each other very well. We meet two people who are against entering a relationship for various reasons but when life happens Danny has to make that big decision that will change everything. Riley is so hes...
