REVIEW: The Golden Dynasty by Kristen Ashley
Circe Quinn goes to
sleep at home and wakes up in a corral filled with women wearing sacrificial
virgin attire - and she is one of them. She soon finds out that she’s not
having a wild dream, she’s living a frightening nightmare where she’s been
transported to a barren land populated by a primitive people and in short
order, she’s installed very unwillingly on her white throne of horns as their
Queen.
Dax Lahn is the king of Suh Tunak, The Horde of the nation of
Korwahk and with one look at Circe, he knows she will be his bride and together
they will start The Golden Dynasty of legend.
Circe and Lahn are separated by language, culture and the
small fact she’s from a parallel universe and has no idea how she got there or
how to get home. But facing challenge after challenge, Circe finds her footing
as Queen of the brutal Korwahk Horde and wife to its King, then she makes
friends then she finds herself falling in love with this primitive land, its
people and especially their savage leader.
It was a rough start. Not because it
was bad or anything, well, the events that took place were. It begins with
Circe, a young woman from modern Seattle waking up in a pen with other women in
an unknown world. She has no idea how she got there, all she knows is that some
of the other women look as terrified as she feels. When she asks what is
happening, she learns that the Wife hunt will shortly begin.
The Korwahk warriors will hunt them
down to claim as their wife. From that moment on I was completely hooked to
this story. I was as scared as Circe was. Yes, there was a rape scene in this
book that happens during the Wife hunt.
It was tough to get through and it
made me hurt for Circe. But, I was captivated by this foreign world that Circe
found herself in.

REVIEW: Rush by Maya Banks
TITLE: RUSH
AUTHOR: MAYA BANKS
GENRE: ROMANCE
PUBLISHED: FEBRUARY 5 2013
Gabe, Jace, and Ash: three of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the country. They’re accustomed to getting anything they want. Anything at all. For Gabe, it’s making one particular fantasy come true with a woman who was forbidden fruit. Now she’s ripe for the picking...
When Gabe Hamilton saw Mia Crestwell walk into the ballroom for his hotel’s grand opening, he knew he was going to hell for what he had planned. After all, Mia is his best friend’s little sister. Except she’s not so little anymore. And Gabe has waited a long time to act on his desires.
Gabe has starred in Mia’s fantasies more than once, ever since she was a teenager with a huge crush on her brother’s best friend. So what if Gabe’s fourteen years older? Mia knows he’s way out of her league, but her attraction has only grown stronger with time. She’s an adult now, and there’s no reason not to act on her most secret desires.
As Gabe pulls her into his provocative world, she realizes there’s a lot she doesn’t know about him or how exacting his demands can be. Their relationship is intense and obsessive, but as they cross the line from secret sexual odyssey to something deeper, their affair runs the risk of being exposed—and vulnerable to a betrayal far more intimate than either expected.
