Masquerade
Masquerade by Victoria Vale

Margaret Seymour is bored by the stifling constraints of society dictating her behavior as a debutante in search of a husband. Her prospects are promising by the standards of London society, yet, not one of them causes her heart to flutter, or her head to fill with scintillating, forbidden fantasies. Those feelings are reserved for Camden Rycroft, Duke of Avonleah—a man who isn’t even aware of her existence.

While attending a scandalous Vauxhall Gardens masquerade, Margaret finds herself in the duke’s arms. His promise of a night of pleasure is tempting, but is it worth it when Avonleah is a known rake notorious for his short attention span and avoidance of marriage?

Camden Rycroft is intrigued by the masked vixen he encounters in the Gardens. After one night with her leaves him hungry for more, his desire for her turns into a fiery obsession. Despite the scandal that could ensue from their affair, he finds himself unable to extract himself from a situation destined to end in pain. When faced with losing Margaret to a potential husband, will he rise to the occasion, or risk living without her?

Review: Wicked Minds by R.A. Smyth

Wicked Minds by R.A. Smyth I may have escaped their house but there is no running from Grayson, Royce, and Logan. Not when Royce knows my most precious secret, Logan refuses to let me go, and Grayson hates to see me remotely happy. As if I don’t have enough to deal with already, between worrying about my daughter and dodging my sleazy boss, not to mention keeping up my grades, now I have to worry about what Royce might do with my secret while attempting to get over Logan and avoid Grayson at all costs. Except Halston is a small campus, and at least one of them keeps showing up in my life. It makes forgetting they exist impossible. However, when shit hits the fan, they’re the ones I end up turning to. The only ones I can trust. Who knew my life would only get more complicated second semester? My Review: My rating: 3 of 5 stars This book was okay. The Split was okay, but I feel like this story is being drawn out more than when it needs to be.

Review: Link by Serena Akeroyd

Link by Serena Akeroyd LILY He’s rough.  He’s ready.  I’m neither.  I’m a sacrificial lamb just waiting to be slaughtered. A socialite spawned by a sadist whose life’s work is to cause misery in others.  My life is a prison cell, until  he  helps me find the key.  He’s not as dark or as dirty as they say he is.  His roughness stirs something in me.  Something primal.  Something no socialite should crave.  He’s a brother in an MC, a world that should be alien to me but somehow, it’s my first real home. It has rules and regulations that make no sense to me, but  one  thing is clear:  Society princesses and MC brothers aren’t a match made in heaven.  But I’m fine with ruling over hell instead…  LINK is the second book in the eleven-book ‘A Dark & Dirty Sinners’ MC’ series.  It is  not  a standalone. My Review: My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book is really good I really enjo...
