REVIEW: Risque Romance Vol. 1 by Mandi Konesni

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Risque Romance Vol. 1 comprises two paranormal romance novellas by Mandi Konesni. The first novella is Awakened; it follows Mia, who is perfectly content in her less-than-thrilling life until her best friend signs her up to be auctioned off as a date at an event and is quickly highly bid after by Erik. Erik is sinful and sensual bliss is consuming, and quickly Mia realises there might be more to life except she can’t keep Erik, even if they both desire exactly that. The second novella is Enthralled; it follows Dieri, who was cursed many centuries ago by the Romani, and he has hunted them ever since. In comes Mirela, a light in his ever-darkening existence, a little bird that he shouldn’t have, but they are drawn to each other, but the faire isn’t as quiet as it seems. Are all monsters monsters, or is that just what you’ve been told?

REVIEW: Her Grumpy Boss by Adele Knight

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Her Grumpy Boss is the fifth instalment in the novella standalone series, Her Sweet Seduction, by Adele Knight. Paige is leaving for the trip of a lifetime, but that doesn’t stop her from enjoying every minute left at work, particularly trying to provoke her very grumpy and unfairly attractive boss from cracking a smile… and, of course, imagining he was the grumpy boss and her his secretary in every spicy book she reads. Parker is having a hard time not breaking his self-imposed fraternisation policy by bending the defiantly bratty Paige over his desk and, well, breaching said policy. Colour him even more intrigued when he finds out exactly what Paige loves to read in her spare time and occasionally company time; add in the fact she’s leaving in two days; and maybe some rules are worth breaking from time to time. It’s not like doing so will shake the foundation of both their lives, right?

A bet that allows the winner to do whatever they desire with the other, a person they have craved for longer than either would have wished for, for one night only. But will one night of carnal bliss ever be enough for two people who should have always been? Or will their passion only open the doors to more pain than they ever thought possible to feel?
