Excerpt "The Prince by Jennifer L. Armentrout"

From #1 New York Times Bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout, comes THE PRINCE, a new novella in her Wicked Series, brought to you by 1,001 Dark Nights! Be sure to grab your copy today!


From #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes a new story in her Wicked series…

She’s everything he wants….

Cold. Heartless. Deadly. Whispers of his name alone bring fear to fae and mortals alike. The Prince. There is nothing in the mortal world more dangerous than him. Haunted by a past he couldn’t control, all Caden desires is revenge against those who’d wronged him, trapping him in never-ending nightmare. And there is one person he knows can help him.

She’s everything he can’t have…

Raised within the Order, Brighton Jussier knows just how dangerous the Prince is, reformed or not. She’d seen firsthand what atrocities he could be capable of. The last thing she wants to do is help him, but he leaves her little choice. Forced to work alongside him, she begins to see the man under the bitter ice. Yearning for him feels like the definition of insanity, but there’s no denying the heat in his touch and the wicked promise is his stare.

She’s everything he’ll take….

But there’s someone out there who wants to return the Prince to his former self. A walking, breathing nightmare that is hell bent on destroying the world and everyone close to him. The last thing either of them needs is a distraction, but with the attraction growing between them each now, the one thing he wants more than anything may be the one thing that will be his undoing.

She’s everything he’d die for….

Excerpt
My entire body jerked at that comment, striking too close to home for comfort. “Let go of me.”
He held my gaze as he slowly lifted one finger after another, releasing my wrist. That bitter knot was back in my throat. The Prince had let go and his heavy lashes lowered, shielding his powerful gaze, but I swore I could still feel it. “My apologies,” he murmured. “That was uncalled for.”
A feather could’ve knocked me over right then. He was apologizing? The Prince? “Yeah, it was.” I swallowed hard, taking a step back from him.
“Even if it is true,” he added.
“Wow. Way to ruin an apology,” I muttered. “Not that you probably even know why you just apologized.”
“I do. It hurt you. Those words.”
“What? You can smell that, too?”
Those heavy lashes lifted, and the intensity of his gaze pierced me. Suddenly I thought back to the day I woke up in the hospital, to those eyes. “I can sense many things.”
Oh.
Oooh.
I had the distinct impression that he was talking about earlier, when I was thinking about the dream I had. And boy, didn’t that make me want to crawl up in a hole somewhere. At that moment, I made a mental note to legit not feel anything when I was around him or any other fae.
One eyebrow, several shades darker than his golden hair, lifted.
“Wait. Can you guys read minds?” I asked, voice hushed and thinking I didn’t know nearly as much about the fae as I thought I did.
“We don’t need to.”
Relief hit me, but it quickly faded when his words cycled back through my head. We don’t need to. Meaning picking up on our emotions probably gave them enough insight on what our thoughts were.
Nice.
“Well…” I held the folder closer to my chest. “That’s freaky.”
His lips twitched.
“And I need to go.” I started to turn once more, ordering myself not to run out of the lobby like it was on fire. But I stopped, facing him again. “I do care about these younglings. I will find them or I will find out what happened to them.”
The Prince inclined his head. A moment passed and then he nodded. Thinking this super awkward face to face was now, thankfully, over, I started to turn away again.
“Brighton?”
Desperately ignoring how the way he said my name made me think of stormy summer nights, I faced him, even though common sense screamed that I shouldn’t. I just couldn’t help myself. It wasn’t a compulsion. It was apparently really bad self-control. My wry gaze flickered over his face, and I bit back a sigh. He was the strongest, the deadliest of his kind, and that knowledge did nothing to dampen my appreciation of his masculine beauty.
“The red hair was a nice touch, but I prefer it this way.”
And then with those parting words, he turned and stalked off, leaving me standing there knowing one thing only.
The Prince knew it was me Saturday night.

Review "Breach, Dissolution, Infraction & Reciprocity by K.I. Lynn"

Existence is more than just a word, it’s a state of being. More importantly, it’s my state of being. Day by day I go through the motions of living—eat, breathe, work, sleep.

When I finally get some help at work it comes in the form of Nathan Thorne. He’s sexy, cocky, arrogant, an asshole, and total bullshit.

I see through the façade to the turbulent man beneath, but I’m not the only one who can see through masks.

One late night the tension between us explodes, starting a lust filled craving for each other. All it takes is that night and his dirty talking mouth, and I’m his.

Now sex is in the mix. Violent and dirty and passionate and everything I need to fill the void inside me but one thing is missing—he can never love me.

It’s not enough for me to leave, even though I know I should.

More than my heart is on the line, and I don’t know if I’ll survive our breach.
 


Title: Breach (Breach #1)
Author: K.I. Lynn
Publisher: K.I. Lynn
Format: Paperback
Amount of Pages: 270
Genre: Erotica, Adult, Romance

Date Read: 1st: 2014, 2nd: 09-08-2018

Favorite Quote: “He was a broken man, and it made me wonder – can two broken souls make one whole person?”

Review:
It has been a while when I first read this book. I think it was back in 2014 when I met this author at a signing. Anyhow I recalled loving this series and when I found out that two more books (well one book and one novella) where added to this series I thought it was time for a reread. 

What is this book about:
This book is about Nathan and Delilah aka Lila. Both of them have suffered in their past, so much that it left them broken. They work together as lawyers in a law firm. They can't stand eachother and bicker most of the time but they also can't stay away from eachother. The sexual tension is through the roof. 
As they grow closer together it could go either way, they either destroy each other even more or if they give it a chance, they could heal and help eachother? 

What did I like about this book:
I find it difficult to write this bit because when I was doing my reread I was wondering why I loved this book, series, so much. I found the characters interesting but I missed a bit of a proper introduction. It didn't bother me much perse but it would have helped. 
I felt like Lila went from I hate you to I can't live without you pretty quick. And while I really liked the sex scenes I did feel like there was a bit to much at one point. 
It was my intrigue in these characters, in what happend to lila and Nathan and their chemistry that kept me going. And I'm really glad I did. The ending and the chapters leading up to the ending really made me want to keep on reading. 
Note these sex scenes are dirty, very dirty. So if you don't like a dirty talking alpha male then don't read this book. 

Rating:


***************************************************************************************************************
A short novella of a portion of Breach from Nathan's point of view.

Delve into what was going on in Nathan's head, and see what was missed from Lila's perspective.

Dissolution:
b. separation into component parts
c. decay, disintegration, death
d. termination or destruction by breaking down, disrupting, or dispersing.







Title: Dissolution (Breach #1.5)
Author: K.I. Lynn
Publisher: K.I. Lynn
Format: Paperback
Amount of Pages: 40
Genre: Erotica, Romance, Adult

Date Read: 09-08-2018

Favorite Quote: “She deserved more, so much more than me; an angry, depressed, broken man. I couldn't give her what she needed - love. So, I did what I had asked her to do. I left.”

Review:
This is such a cute little addition to the series. It's very short, obviously since it's a novella, but it's worth the read.

What is this book about:
This book is the last chapter of the first book and a look into the second book from Nathan's point of view. It's short but it shows what he's thinking during the last chapters of Breach and what his motivation for doing what he did is.

What did I like about this book:
I liked seeing more from Nathans pov. I usually like dual point of views in romance books because it gives you more insight in what someone's thinking and why they're doing what they are doing.
It's also fun to see what they think about their love intrest.

Rating:

***************************************************************************************************************
Waking up in the hospital after a terrible car crash, Lila has a long road of recovery ahead of her. More than just her body, she must recover her heart after an altering declaration by Nathan. With all that happened between them she must chose to forgive him and take him back, or sever all ties. Nathan has a hard road ahead of him to earn back her trust, and doing so will open her up to the possibility of being hurt again. A possibility Lila doesn’t think she can survive. The secrets Nathan keeps buried, hidden from the world, of the life he used to lead are revealed. They tell the horror of what caused the scars on his body, mind, and heart. Can Lila and Nathan push through all of the obstacles in front of them? Will the journey be their healing, or their destruction.




Title: Infraction (Breach #2)
Author: K.I. Lynn
Publisher: K.I. Lynn
Format: Paperback
Amount of Pages: 284
Genre: Erotica, Adult, Romance

Date Read: 1st: 2014 2nd: 09-08-2018 - 10-08-2018

Favorite Quote: “He didn’t have me to lose.” My breathing picked up as the emotional pain tightened my chest. “He threw me away.”

Review:
This book reminded me why I liked this series in the first place. There was so much more dept to the story. We really see the characters grow and develop.
The sex was still there, and still very dirty, but it wasn't about that anymore, there was more going on outside of those scenes.

What is this book about:
This book continues where the first one ended. Lila was in a horrible car accident and is trying to not only physically recover from that but also from the emotional trauma conflicted on her by Nathan.
Nathan is trying his best to be there for her and to fix what he broke. He realized that live without her isn't what he wants. Can Nathan and Lila fix their relationship and heal as individuals or is what they had broken forever?

What did I like about this book:
I liked seeing these characters grow. I liked how realistically the author handled their issues and didn't have them be magically fixed. She showed that dealing with anxiety can be crippling and destructive and that it takes time and effort to work on it. I also liked that the author showed how much therapy can help with that and that there is nothing wrong with going/needing a psychiatrist.
I'm also glad that not everything that happened was brushed aside and forgiven.
This book might be my favorite in this series. Can't wait to read on.

***************************************************************************************************************

Title: Reciprocity (Breach #3)
Author: K.I. Lynn
Publisher: K.I. Lynn
Format: Paperback
Amount of Pages: 304
Genre: Erotica, Adult, Romance

Date Read: 10-08-2018 - 15-08-2018

Favorite Quote:"I didn't want to love her, but in the end, I couldn't fight fate."

Review:
This is the final book in the Breach trilogy. Lila and Nathan have been through allot in their past and while being together. They deserve a happy ever after.

What is this book about:
In this book we continue to follow the journey of Lila and Nathan. They seem to finally go into a steady happy flow. But for how long? Nathan's past isn't very interested in letting things go, it's always watching and waiting for the time to pounce. Now that Nathan is happy with Lila will the mobster let that go?
Not only does Nathan's past come knocking on their door but so does Lila's. Lila's "family" isn't taking to kindle in Lila moving on an being happy. Both of Lila and Nathan will have to fight once again to survive their past and deal with it for once and for all.

What did I like about this book:
I liked to see how much Nathan and Lila are still growing. How much effort they are putting into working things out and moving forward. I like that. It's realistic.
I found this book to be the most thrilling in the series. Allot of things where going on and shit really got real.
Overall it's a great conclusion on to a great series. Very enjoyable (dirty talking)read.

EXCERPT:

Did it make you a bad friend if you were completely, a hundred percent envious of that friend? Yes? No? Kind of?

I figured it was somewhere in between.

That’s what I was mulling over as I watched Ivy Morgan brush thick, red curls over her shoulder, laughing at something her boyfriend Ren Owens had said to her.

At least I wasn’t envious of that—their love. Okay, well, that wasn’t entirely true. Pretty sure anyone who was as single as me would be envious of all that warm and fuzzy that was passed back and forth
with each long look or casual brush of skin. The two could barely tear their gazes away from one another to eat the dinner we’d grabbed at the cute little diner inside the shopping center on Prytania Street.

I honest to God couldn’t be happier for them. They’d been through so much—way more than two people should ever have to go through to be together, and here they were, stronger and more in love than ever, and they deserved that happiness.

But their epic love story wasn’t the source of a current case of the green-eye monster that was sitting on my shoulder.

Ivy was just such a… badass.

Even right now, relaxed in the chair, surrounded by twinkling Christmas lights with her hand in Ren’s and her belly full of a cheeseburger deluxe and crinkle fries and half of my tater tots, she could kick ass and take names along with addresses, telephone numbers, and social security numbers.

If the proverbial poo hit the fan, you called Ivy or Ren.

If you needed to know what streets Royal intersected with, you called… me. Or if you needed coffee or fresh beignets but were currently busy, you know, saving the world, you’d call me.

The three of us were all members of the Order, a widespread organization that was literally the only thing that stood between mankind and complete, utter enslavement and destruction by the fae. And not the super cute fae found in Disney movies or some crap like that. Humans thought they were on top of the food chain. They were wrong. The fae were.

The only thing pop culture got right about the fae was their slightly pointy ears. That was it. The fae were more than just beings from another world—the Otherworld—they were capable of glamouring their appearance to blend in with humans. But all Order members, even me, were warded at birth against the glamour. We saw through the human façade to the creature that lurked beneath.

Review:
Another great book by Jennifer L. Armentrout! I was super excited to read this one and it definitely didn't disappoint. I was happy to see certain characters again like Tink, Ren and Ivy.
Be aware that this book ends with a cliffhanger. 

What is this book about:
This book begins where Brave ended. The Queen is defeated, or you know send back to the hell hole they came from. Time for celebration right? Well think again. The winter fae haven't given up, they are still hunting. Brighton knows that all to well. 
The prince hasn't forgotten what he did under the influence of the Queen. He remembers everything he has done. Yet he can't seem to stay away from Brighton. There is something about her that lures him in but he knows nothing can come from it.
When some of the summer fae boys go missing, Brighton and the Prince have to work together to find them. Will they be able to find the missing fae or will they discover more than they bargained for. 

What did I like about this book:
I loved being back in the fae work again. Jennifer did a really good job creating that world. I loved seeing old characters again like Tink, Ren and Ivy. Learning more about what they've been up to. 
I really liked getting to know other characters as well I didn't think I'd learn to like the Prince as much as I did. And I didn't think I'd like Brighton as much as well. She's a great character, we didn't seem much of her in the other books, atleast not as much as I recall. And it was good, she's a great person, really feisty and strong. 
I can't wait to see more about this world and it's characters
