Release Day Blitz Chosen Thief (Forever Evermore Series Book 4) by Scarlett Dawn

About Chosen Thief:

The second saga in the bestselling, groundbreaking Forever Evermore series begins with Chosen Thief, where the life of a skilled lawbreaker becomes much more than she ever wanted...

Caroline Jules knows death is imminent. She’s only 22, but as an inmate of Death Row in the most secure Mystical jail, what else could her future hold?

Caro has no idea. Her solitary, transient life is about to get flipped on its head when it is revealed that she is the new Prodigy Elemental, and she has responsibilities and ties that she can’t ever escape. Caro is attempting to run from a brutal past, but the Rulers have other plans for this thief’s future.

But the transition from a self-contained existence to life with the other Prodigies, the Kings and Queens, and even the Elders was never going to be easy, and Caro has secrets she’s loath to share. Suddenly she has friends, mentors, lovers — and they all want to know more about her than she is willing to reveal.

Will Caro ever escape the darkness of all she is, or will she fall deeper into the life that has been chosen for her?

***Lesley's Review of King Tomb (Forever Evermore) by Scarlett Dawn

From Scarlett Dawn comes the stunning, sexy, sensual, surprising, spellbinding conclusion to the bestselling, first Forever Evermore trilogy.

Queen Shifter, Lily Ruckler, has found solace in brutal warfare. Her bloodied fists and bared fangs fill the holes left in her memory, the blank spaces that leave her soul aching and empty. Her only pleasure is in blood; her only salvation is the relationship she has with her infant child, the baby of unknown origins who brings her solace and stability.

When Elder Harcourt summons Lily and her protector Antonio back to the United States, Lily thinks nothing unusual about the change of location. But a standard reconnaissance mission leaves her trapped inside King Zeller's private quarters, and at his mercy. Surprise attraction rapidly turns to a battle of wills and an intense power struggle that leaves no clear victor but plenty of resentment.

They are not allowed to nurse their wounds. In order to win the war against the Commoners, the King Vampire and Queen Shifter must work together. It should be easy. The war is turning, the battle is deadly, and both Lily and Ezra love the cold cleanliness of combat.

But their chance meeting has led to more than an unlikely alliance. Secrets have a way of surfacing, especially on a torn-up battlefield, and Lily and Ezra are about to re-learn all they cannot remember. If they can't control their emotions and responses, it will be to their own ruin and the destruction of everything around them.

Lesley's Review

This series just keeps getting better. I can always count on Scarlett to reel me in. She never lets me down.This is the third installment in the Forever Evermore Series. The plot continues to thicken. New people are introduced and we have more questions that are begging to be answered. You know what I say to that? Bring it on. I could spend forever in this little world.

King Tomb starts us a couple of months out from where we left our crazy group off in the previous installment. I don’t know about you all, but I was like a fiend waiting for a fix until I got this book in my hands. I had no idea how this was going to play out. I was terribly upset that they were separated and had no clue of the love they had between them, all of them. Although, the primary focus in this book is Ezra and Lily, we do get some of Jack and Pearl towards the end. Have Faith my friends.

In the beginning Lily is angry and frustrated. She has shut herself off to emotions, to people. She feels betrayed or let down by the man who claims the un-biological role of her father. While Lily can’t remember her past, she knows something happened. Obviously, she’s pregnant and can’t remember how exactly that happened. She feels completely empty and lost. Being the strong, -keep on moving- person that she is, she channels that into winning battles and being the no-nonsense Queen Shifter she has to be. Then add being a mother on top of that, Lily hasn’t the time to be messing around. She has a child to protect, because she apparently, slept with a vampire.

It doesn’t take long for things to get moving in the storyline. So, the torture of the two being apart is soon quelled. JUST…maybe not the way you’d expect it. Let’s just say it hasn’t been easy for Ezra either. Poor guy seems to be struggling and channeling his demons into extracurricular activities.

“When it comes to others, love inevitably brings pain, which we both suffered immensely during this last year.”

These two go toe to toe, and eventually, things start to fall into place. They start to figure things out. All kinds of things will make you say “ah Hah, that’s why.”

But can they find that flame again or just a mutual understanding?

These two are my favorite kick-ass couple. Leave it to them to make you laugh and swoon all at the same time. It’s just like being part of the family. No matter what Ezra is willing to step-up to the plate to protect his child. (Swoon worthy) He just doesn’t see how it happened with Lily.

It’s almost like watching it all happen all over again. I loved every minute of it.

I can’t wait to see where the story line is going. I’m intrigued by this one character who seems to be hindering, and yet, helping all at the same time. I’m not sure what exactly he is up too. I can’t wait to figure out just what in the heck is actually going on with him and a her. I guess I’ll have to keep reading this series to figure out all the missing pieces. Darn, that’s just torturous. I’m kidding of course, but it will be torture until the next installment is released.

King Tomb is 4.5 Fantabulous stars.

Lesley's Review of Fall: Book 1 - The Cold Mark Saga by Scarlett Dawn

AMAZON ~ B&N ~ KOBO ~ iBooks

Fall blurb:
A savagely wicked new adult sci-fi series blasts off with Fall, the first novella in The Cold Mark Saga...

Only one thousand Humans survived The Travel from the shattered Earth. Some Humans say it was their penance for crushing such beauty. Eighteen-year-old Braita merely thought it was pathetic - pathetic that her people had been that blind.

Now, the Humans live in the solar system, Kline, where three planets are habitable. Joyal, the smallest planet, is embraced by the Humans - their family to love as they had never loved Earth. Though a planet covered mainly in water is dangerous real estate to dwell upon.

Their worry turns into devastating reality when Braita’s blessed village is struck by a tsunami. Population numbers must be kept to a minimum. Drastic measures must be taken. Braita’s life is twisted in brutality when she is chosen as one of the three hundred Humans to be removed from Joyal…and sent to the Mian, the aliens to fear, on the planet Triaz.

Thrown head first into a barbaric world she knows nothing of, Braita must adapt to a dark life as a slave of the Mian society. Her existence depends on it…and possibly, the fall of her heart.

Lesley's Review

Sometimes I get into these ruts where I can’t get into a book. FALL became the one knocked me out of my funk. It sucked me into its extraterrestrial world. FALL for me was a refreshing step away from the normal. I am a big fan of different, which is why that makes me a big fan of Scarlett Dawn’s. She has a way of making her made up worlds come to life and yet, feel real enough that you can relate.

The Story begins with Briata Valorngoing about a normal day on her home away from home. This new planet Joyal, is all that she’s ever known. Earth is now only in history books. I almost feel like I get a sense of a “hippy” culture because everything so peaceful and they worship the planet.

Yet, things feel off kilter. I’m not sure what I expected, but I did not expect what this book turned into. I was pleasantly surprised with the change in environment.

You know what they say “everything is good until it’s not”.

“Only the rush of water and wind was heard past the cries of the devastated”

With disaster striking the small planet of Joyal, they are forced to rely on the help of the other nearby planets. The inhabitants on these planets could not be more different. They for one are not human. (No worries, They resemble humans. No slime or bulging eyes.) Two, they have a different way of life all together. The twist you seeis that Joyal will send several of the humans to these planets to live to preserve human life. This is where the story begins to hook me. Yes, Briata is sent to live on another planet, but as a slave. These aliens don’t seem all that friendly and her grasp of their language isn’t that great. All she knows is that they are known to be savages. They like war and all the things her species does not.

Eeep. Definite creep factor.

AND that’s where I stop explaining the story. HA!

See bits and pieces come out along the way. The whys and whats, the whos and hows, the story flows fast,but it is packed with the unknown. Part of the reason this book took me under was because I didn’t see it coming. But I will tell you this; I could have been cheering out loud for a part of the book. I was scared for Briata and excited by the events that took place. I seriously could have screamed and yelled like a mad woman in the end.I just kept saying,“What is happening”, “Oh no”, and of course I laughed. It’s the little things that count. Briata is a kick-ass character but she is ignorant to so many things. Being that she is human there’s a lot left unspoken so as not to freak her out. I think, or I hope that’s just the case because well, there are a couple of ways this could go.

And Scarlett (aka-the big tease) is a wicked, wicked woman to leave us with so many unknowns but brilliant at the same time. It keeps me guessing, and unfortunately, impatiently waiting as well. I am pretty sure I want some Plumas of my own, but I shall reserve my final decision for when I have more information. (I think I still want them any way) If my assumptions are correct, someone needs to give Briata a rude but pleasant awakening. I’d be happy to switch places with her. I thinking she may just get thatawakening in the next installment. One can hope.

There was one qualm about this book it was TOO short. With THAT being said, this was still a great start to a new series. 4.5 I WANT MORE stars.

Just an FYI: there is M/M interaction in this book. I guess in a way some poly-amorous expectations. If that’s not for you, that’s okay, because the more for me… the merrier.

* Blog Tour and Giveaway* The Obsidian Collection

The Obsidian Collection Blog Tour Banner.jpg

THE OBSIDIAN COLLECTION Nine authors. Nine dark-love novellas. The wicked have never looked so good...

Obsidian Escape by Rebel Adams Just one look at the battered form of Whitney Geddings awakens a fierce protective instinct in Detective Jackson Ogden...but at what price?

Obsidian Liquor by Scarlett Dawn Reporter, Elizabeth Forter, never expected one drunken challenge to leave her sexually satisfied and waking beside Daniil - the head of the Russian mafia.

Obsidian Faith by Bev Elle Shanice Bailey’s epic faith in Trevor Kyle, the man she’s loved since they were both wards at the Baptist Children's Home, is shaken when his sketchy foster father shows up on their honeymoon.

Obsidian Heart by Nicole Flockton Will Erika's holiday fling with Brandt bring him out of the shadows, or is his heart destined for darkness?

Obsidian Sky by Lara Henley When military man, Brandon Michaels, comes home to a town he no longer recognizes, his salvation may rest in Arabella Knight, a woman who has secrets that no one knows.

Obsidian Ice by Missy Johnson Medical intern Cam Fletcher knew becoming a surgeon would be hard work, but what he wasn't counting on was falling for his mentor - cocky surgeon Eric Langdon.

Obsidian Jewel by Angel Lawson Professional thieves, competitors, and occasional lovers, Maya Clarke and Malcolm Kent, must work together for the job of a lifetime and try not to kill one another while doing it.

Obsidian Desire by t.h. snyder Can one chivalrous act change Tyler Jones, a coldhearted man, or will desire burn through his soul and change him forever?

Obsidian Beauty by Emily Walker Out of jail and finally ready to confront the man who left her there to rot, Abigail Rivers is upset to learn Benton Sellers has moved on with no regard for the sacrifices she has made for him.

When the chance to review The Obsidian Collection came and after seeing the authors that were listed, I jumped on the chance! Several I was already familiar with and a few were new to me. And, even though I said I would read and review certain stories, I was enjoying them so much, I kept reading!

I started with Obsidian Escape by Rebel Adams and was immediately hooked.

I laughed and fanned myself all the way through Obsidian Liquor. I already had a crush on Scarlett Dawn and reading this little short story only solidified that!

Obsidian Heart by Nicole Flockton, what can I say other than, like the others, I REALLY wish the story continued!

Obsidian Ice by Missy Johnson was just what the collection needed to shake things up a bit. I knew it would be and it was, again, one of the reasons I wanted to read it.

Obsidian Desire by t.h. snyder read differently than the others, in my opinion, and it was fantastic! Chance encounters, hardening of the heart and trying to move on with life without success.

These were all so well-written! It can’t be easy to have so much to say and only have a few chapters to do it. You want to tell a good story without making it seem rushed. This collection had that. Of course I was left wanting much, much more but it certainly left me satisfied, in the end. It also gave me new authors to check out! Win/win for me!!

Rebel Adams is writer and lover of good prose, better cigars, well-aged whiskey and fine women-- and not always in that order.
