I absolutely LOVE the cover!! It really makes you want to discover the story. Doesn't it? [image]
I enjoyed this book way more than I expected. It has a lot of action and so much suspense. I expected something very different, an easy read, maybe a little suspense, BUT this story gave me so much more: demons, vampires, ghosts, dark forces and those who fought against them!
I was hooked from the first pages, even if I had to read twice the first sentence: "Sara's mother called him again ...", because I "tripped" at Sara and him.
I love the writing style of these authors. They didn't gave us too much from the start and I always appreciate this. I could complain the story was a little slow paced at the beginning, but I will not, because everything was revealed at the perfect time. I enjoyed discovering the story while Sara discovered Mr. Dupont's secrets.
Mr. Thaddeus Dupont - was such a complex character. I was so curious about his past! I couldn't wait for him to give us another piece of him, and for Sara to begin to understand him a little more. If he ever actually smile, Mr. Intense would be devastating.
Sarasija made me picture a very young, hansom but ingenuous man. He took his first job without even taking in consideration any danger that may come. To say his job as Dupont's assistant was very different from what he expected, is an understatement!
About Thaddeus and Sara, well despite their differences: age and experience, they feel very attracted to each other even if they are both afraid to give in to temptation. Their reasons are so different too, Dupont doesn't want to break his contract and Sara doesn't want to have an affair with his boss. But everything gets so complicated, their lives are in danger and they had to fight the evil every moment. So when they couldn't fight and gave into each other, everything felt right. All their hot moments together seem right and made me realize they mean a lot to each other and words were not necessary.
I really liked the choice of words of these 2 authors. I think it gives authenticity to Mr. Dupont having such an old soul, and I also loved all his French words he used sometimes. He really felt like an old soul trapped in such a young and beautiful body.

I would resign myself to an eternity in hell, if it meant a single lifetime with him.

I have started this book a year and a half ago. Wow! So looong ago!!! It feels like a lifetime ago... I was pregnant and anxious and thought reading would calm me, but I was not able to concentrate much so I just abandoned it. It's been too long since I could read again. My head and heart were... somewhere else. My beautiful daughter, Ais, kept me busy to say the least. I enjoyed this story and I am glad it wasn't too angsty. I'm not sure I could deal with much angst right now. It kept my interest and it was well written. It wasn't mind blowing and I'm not sure I will remember it over time, hence the rating. Hopefully I will be able to read something soon and it will blow my mind. Looking forward to reading something awesome. It's good to be back in the world of books. Oh and this one was a paperback gifted by my best friend ❤ So it was a great comeback ...more

Her writing is exquisite, as always! From the first page you get transported into this fantastic world with humans, elves, soldiers, courtesans.
We get Ōkkanȏ Kyatto - a male courtesan with an Incubus lust demon, and Sergeant Jhagán Lázhien - a human soldier.
They couldn't be more different, but they share a very special and rare bond: Sergeant Jhagán is Ōkkanȏ/Tii-Matâshi's fated soulmate.
This story starts with intense lust, even if Ōkkanȏ can't stand soldiers. But Lázhien is determined to have him anyway.
There's a lot of inner struggles, especially in Ōkkanȏ, who has to fight his demon a lot. He's insecure and afraid to be rejected. So even if he gives into temptation, he was not ready to give their bond a try.
Lázhien was a great surprise. He was tough on the outside, but an attentive lover. He was also kind, and protective. I would have wanted him to fight more for Ōkkanȏ, to speak his mind and not to just accept the situation. Even if I liked Madame Ranelle, I would have wanted Lázhien to pursue Ōkkanȏ on his own.
Overall I enjoyed the story and especially the epilogue!
I know I'm in the minority here but this story was too sweet and angst free for my taste. It started very good, I was sure I will love this u3,5 stars
I know I'm in the minority here but this story was too sweet and angst free for my taste. It started very good, I was sure I will love this until the end, BUT Teo still loving Chris, who was SO annoying, really got on my nerves!!!
Jack was amazing, super hot and kind and sweet. He didn't deserve to be somehow put on the second place, after Chris. Ugh!
The fake boyfriend trope... The over the top sweetness... Just nope from me. I am sorry. I should have known better. This author writes such sweet stories. It's just not my thing.
The only thing that really worked for me would be the chemistry between the main characters. So I am rounding up my 3.5 stars....more

As much as I enjoyed the writing, I kind of expected more. I liked the story, don't get me wrong. I just didn't get to love it. It worked better for me than the first book, but I wanted more suspense and angst. Maybe it is wrong to expect too much. Maybe it's just me not feeling it.
This was Rafe's story, one of the 4 brothers and vampires in the Varik clan. He falls in love with another vampire. They were pretty hot together, but for some reason I needed much more. More angst, more action!! We get a fight, but it came a little too late for my taste. This story dragged. It felt unnecessary long.
I am curious about Bel and Winter, so I think I will read the next books at one point. ...more

Overall it was an OK read with parts that worked for me. Even if the MCs were HOT and they had great chemistry, I can't say I felt any deep connection... I wanted more and I am pretty sad we have to wait for the next book. It's mean to end a book like that! ...more

I really enjoyed the first book, but this one didn't shock me as much. Maybe I had too high expectations. I was here for the dark part, but this one kind of felt unfinished. I have no idea if we get another book in this series, but I surely hope we'll get Daddy's POV too.
This series isn't for everyone. "ABDL - Adult Baby/ diaper lover play" and "puppy play" were new to me, but it didn't make me run for the hills, on the contrary. I enjoyed the writing and I am looking forward to reading more dark stories from this author ...more

I'll start by admitting that I really enjoy Barbara Elsborg's writing. Each and every book written by her was special and different than I expected. This one makes no exception. It was a great surprise. I am not a big fan of paranormal stories, shapeshifters and all, but here it worked for me.
This story was surprising. It was very funny, and it was really hot!
Ryder is not happy to say the least about his team building trip, cycling and talking to himself most of the time. Then he gets to an auction house, meets Callan, and many supernatural creatures: werewolves, witches, faeries. This story gets exciting!
I really want to keep my review spoiler free, so you'll have to find out on your own what brought the main characters together. I'll admit I enjoyed the book, but I would have wanted a little more angst and my only complaint would be that everything fell into place too easily.
If you're a fan of paranormal stories, don't miss this one. It's actually extremely sweet and don't forget: HOT ...more
So, this one was lighter than I expected. We get a MFM scene pretty early in the book. To say I wasn't happy reading about**spoiler alert** 2,5 STARS
So, this one was lighter than I expected. We get a MFM scene pretty early in the book. To say I wasn't happy reading about the two MCs sharing a nameless woman, is a big understatement. Then the MCs ignore their attraction and feelings... and boom, pretty fast they are in love, ready to move in together.
I'm not sure what I expected, but this wasn't for me. I need more angst in my books.
The writing was good and there are some pretty hot scenes, but overall I can't say this one was a remarkable story. If you're into sweet and light stories, maybe it will work better for you.

TRIGGER WARNING
Acceptance of the Egoist contains explicit sexual scenes between men, strong language, dubious permission, scenes of violence, and is intended for adult readers only. Acceptance of the Egoist touches on the hard topic of Stockholm syndrome with all the pain and cruelty that comes along. This book isn’t meant for people with weak hearts or people who get easily offended or shocked."
This being said, I must admit I loved it! It showed us how Kuon started to give in and we also get another side of Yugo.
I'm diving right now into book #2 because I am dying to get more!!! This is a great dark series, with a lot of violence and cruelty, but what I enjoy here the most is the connection between the MCs. Am I twisted? Definitely. Do I care? Nope!...more
