RELEASE BLITZ: Thanos by Ella Frank

Thanos by Ella Frank
Series: Masters Among Monsters #3

Publication Date: January 26th, 2017
Genre: Paranormal Romance

Synopsis

CHARMED FOR LIFE?

Thanos Agapiou has always been a charmer. For over two millennia, the vampire had no problem acquiring whom and what he wanted with a flash of his handsome smile. He took for granted the boyish good looks he presumed he’d possess for the rest of eternity.

How very wrong he was.

A nearly fatal attack distorted his entire existence. With his appearance now matching the title many have bestowed their kind—monster—he hides away from the world and all of those who know him, including his Ancient, Eton.

Until one night when a stranger draws him out from the shadows.

OR CURSED FOR ETERNITY?

Ever since Paris Antoniou was thrust into a world of vampires, his reality has become stranger than the history and the myths he’s studied for the past decade.

When he learns the truth about his origins and the power he wields, his confusion and fear have him running for his life. What he doesn’t expect is to run into the arms of Thanos—a vampire who doesn’t intimidate him as much as he intrigues him.

WHAT HAS THE POWER TO MAKE YOU WANT TO SURVIVE?

As their worlds collide under extraordinary circumstances, an attraction neither can deny takes hold. But will that be enough to save Thanos from his demons, or will he condemn Paris to his fate?

Destinies have been changed. Lines have been crossed. And, with tales of the vampire race coming to an end, who will make the ultimate sacrifice?

After all, in a world run by vampires and gods, only one can be the true Master among the Monsters.

Full Blurb

Preppy finds himself back in a world he once loved, but no longer recognizes. His dim smile can’t hide his inner turmoil and the people he views as family all suddenly feel like polite strangers.

Except for one person. A girl with dark eyes and even darker hair.

A girl who isn’t even an option.

At least, not anymore.

Dre can’t decide who she’s going to listen to. Her heart, her head, or her body. Because two out of those three things have her heading right back to Logan’s Beach. Closure is what she tells herself she’s seeking, but when she unlocks doors that were never meant to be opened she soon discovers that when it comes to Samuel Clearwater, closure might NEVER be an option.

This is book six in the King Series and the second part of Preppy and Dre's story.

EXCERPT

“Oh yeah?” Preppy asked, taking a step forward, crowding me in, staring deep into my eyes with an intensity that had me biting down hard on my lower lip. “Do YOU like a clean look, Doc? Or do you like it dirty? Beards. Tattoos…scars?”

Yes, I like it dirty. So dirty.

I was stunned into silence. Preppy's proximity was f*cking with my brain, and I was afraid I was going to blurt out something that would dig me a deeper hole than I’d already dug for myself.  I opened my mouth to answer, but I couldn’t get the words out. Not like I needed to. Preppy answered for me. “If I remember correctly, you like it dirty. Real f*cking dirty.”

He took another step. “Remember that first time? In the field? By the train tracks?

...

So can I.

The hair on the back of my neck stood on end. “What are you doing?” I asked, trying to step around him, but he pressed his hands against the wall, caging me in. The warmth of his chest radiated onto mine. I tried to look anywhere but into his eyes, afraid of what I might see, but there wasn’t anywhere else to look. He moved even closer.

Preppy pressed his knee between my thighs, parting my legs. “Me?” he asked, with mock innocence. “I’m just reminiscing with an old friend.”

“This doesn’t feel like just reminiscing."

He stared intensely into my eyes. “No, not YET it doesn’t.” He grinned. “But it f*cking will. Soon.”

REVIEW

RATING:

Preppy!!!

Oh, but shoulda' known that that is how TM will end this, say wut?!!!!

Now that we're caught up with Preppy's backstory, this is not only the continuation of Preppy and Dre's story, but also the continuation of the series as a whole. It picks up where Part 1 of Preppy's story ended, and where book 4 of the series ended. So definitely not a standalone, if that's still not clear...

I do appreciate TM's foreword on this because I totally understood. King and Bear of the first 4 books got a duology each, but Preppy gets a trilogy, and it makes perfect sense.

Preppy is now out of that hellish experience and it's about him learning to move forward. Dre is back thinking she'll get her closure but obviously not.

Maybe it's just me but this is more emotional than the previous books. For starter, they're not quite knee-deep in any situation, so to speak. This is about Preppy coming back to the land of the living. This is about figuring out how Dre fits (as if there was any question). In doing so, King, Bear, Ray and Ti had their parts to play. Bigger than Preppy and Dre's reunion is the familial relationship that this little group has created and clearly cherished.

Preppy broke my heart. I felt his anguish.I felt his confusion. But, y'know, Preppy is Preppy. And Preppy deals with things the Preppy way. Dre has grown quite a bit. Her strength is more apparent. She has become Preppy's anchor.

I love how King and company played a prominent part. I love how I got a glimpse of Rage, Nolan, and... wait for it... yup, Smoke, albeit small.

While I didn't get the introduction of new elements, ie, new characters, you just know TM wants to take you in a specific direction. And outside of that bomb that TM dropped right at the very end, I thought it wrapped things up nicely and very well could've been their tentative HEA. But, but, but, there were still a lot of answered questions, for sure, so I can't even describe the anticipation I'm feeling getting to the conclusion of Preppy's story.

Alright, #evilginger, bring it!!😁

REVIEW: Love in Lingerie by Alessandra Torre

══════════════════

I hired her to fix my company, to bring Marks Lingerie back to life. I didn’t expect her to become my friend. I didn’t expect to fall in love with her.

The first rule of business is to never touch your employees. I think there is another rule about not falling for your best friend—a rule against imagining the curves of her body, or the way her breathing would change if I pulled down her panties and unzipped my pants.

Now, I can’t wait any longer. I’m tossing out the rules.

Damn the company.

Damn our friendship.

Damn my fears.

REVIEW

RATING:

Hmmm...

As far as I’m concerned, AT’s writing is always gonna be exceptional, period; which is why I keep coming back to her. Having said that, there is something happening lately where her stories and I are not jiving. As much as I love her writing and how well she develops her MC’s, I can’t seem to be fully on board with where she takes these MCs. 

Take this story. Trey and Kate’s relationship started as boss-employee that moved to friends-to-lovers in looong slow burn way. And I get it. I get why. What I didn’t get, or I should say agree, is the how they got there.

If you’re not a fan of OM/OW, then this is not for you. I’m not usually either, unless the OM/OW is from the past and is just trying to insert him/herself into the budding relationship and failing at that. Here, OM/OW is very much in the present. And interestingly enough, not in a way that one would expect, at least to me. I almost want to say that the OM/OW here is necessary to show growth in the MCs. Did I agree with it? There lies my issue. I get it, yet I don’t. So I think ultimately, it’ll be a personal take.

Also, I’ve now associated AT with unexpected twists in plots but the kinds of twists here were definitely different, I’d say.

Now if you’re an AT fan, then rest assured, her writing continues to be on point. One of the reasons why I guess I can still say that I enjoyed it enough. I appreciated the sexual tension between H&h. I thought both MCs were well developed. I saw their growth. And while I didn’t agree with some of their decisions, I understood. 

And if I may add, probably not best to think of this as just romance. I don’t think AT knows how to do a straightforward romance that follows your typical arc in the first place, and I meant that in the most complimentary way. So because this is AT, I told myself to think of it more as erotic/romantic fiction. And when I did, things made more sense in my head… if that made sense at all…
