Five Stars!

Aiden Bell has changed his entire life to be a better person, but in the process had to leave the love of his life. What happens when his love comes back? Will he give everything up that he's worked so hard for? Or will he let him go again?

Where do I even begin with this review for Saint? First of all, it is beautifully written, it has so much detail, but not boring detail. It is the kind of detail that sucks you in and has you imagining and experiencing the things our characters are. I have to admit that there were a lot of things or words regarding Christianity or Monk living that I had to look up, so not only did I love this book it was a learning experience for me too.

I felt like this book was very deep, it tugs at your heartstrings and touches on current-day topics like white “male” privilege, racism, mental illness, and homophobia. It also gave me a better understanding of bisexuality. It’s funny in parts and deliciously dirty, but you definitely don’t feel like you’re just reading smut. This is the first M/M book I've read and Sierra did it so much justice. I look forward to getting caught up in her next book!

This was a very spiritual read to me and I felt good reading it. I can’t wait for you all to read it too!

I might be asked out tomorrow, and because you never asked me out, I would take that date.” “Then take it,” he says casually. I pinch his side, and he barely flinches. “You’re not supposed to say that.” “I know you wouldn’t take it. You’re too infatuated with me.” “Oh, now you did it,” I exclaim. “Now I’m going to go ask Lieth out just to spite you.” He chuckles. “Good luck. I heard he likes to lick necks on first dates.” “Well, then he’s the perfect man for me.”         About the Author: USA Today Bestselling Author, wife, adoptive mother, and peanut butter lover.

Release Date: August 17

USA Today Bestselling Author, K.K. Allen, continues to take readers on a deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful adventure in a contemporary fantasy series based on a young woman learning to navigate her new existence in the enchanting world where her FATED may just be her enemy.

Katrina Summer finally comes to terms with her enchanted skin as she is challenged with an evil that threatens Apollo Beach.

In a desperate search for her missing locket, Katrina is swept into a whole new world of mythological enchantment that places her at the helm of a looming threat. As she makes new discoveries about her bloodline and meets descendants of other enchanted breeds, she unearths the most disturbing Summer family secret of all.

Amid the chaos, Katrina is determined to maintain whatever normalcy she can. She accepts a job at Island Grille where the devilishly gorgeous bartender, Johnny Pierce, makes life even more challenging. Katrina struggles between her lingering and undeniable attraction for Alec, the secrets she must keep from him, and a betrayal she never sees coming.

Mysterious deaths, signs of pollution rising in the bay, the discovery of fated love, and the dark history that follows her enemy's motives stir up an entirely new and frightening adventure. Katrina discovers that being an Enchanter holds a responsibility that might just be worth killing for.

FATED is Book 2 in the all-new ENCHANTED GODS series.

Five Stars!

“This is what makes Enchanters magical. It’s not in the power we possess or the strength of that magic, but the people we are within.”

I am in love with this series, it has sucked me in from the beginning and really got me loving Fantasy Romance. I do not read Fantasy, but It’s K.K. Allen and I love her writing and let me tell you she does not disappoint. From book one (Cursed) I sensed a bit of a love triangle, I wasn’t sure where it would go but in my mind, I kept thinking about the dark broody guy. Ah, so much happens in this book that I could go on and on but I would spoil all the wonderful elements and layers. People are not who they seem to be and there is a lot of guessing who is good and who is evil. What team are they on and who took Kat’s damn locket?

Well, a lot of our questions are answered. This book will have you turning the pages and feeling the emotion and energy Kat is feeling. It is emotional, sexy, and Kat is really becoming the girl she is meant to be. She is determined to save Apollo Beach and all the natural elements. I absolutely loved this book and it really makes you take in the reality of our situation with the earth and how cruel we are to it. I CAN NOT WAIT for Taken!

“But just like the ocean, there’s very little sign as to when the turbulence will throw us off balance again.”

I need to pick up another book to read but I can not even think about diving into one just yet, because my mind is reeling from this one. Talk about a book hangover!!
