New Release ~ Stolen by Becca Vincenza (Rebirth Series)

Here is the new release of Stolen, the prequel novel of Damaged! Scroll down for a review!

Title: Stolen (A Rebirth Prequel)

Author: Becca Vincenza

Release Date: TODAY

Genre: Adult Paranormal

Cover Designer: Airicka Mystical Creations 

Warnings: Language, sexual content, abuse and violence

Formats: eBook & paperback

 

Author Note: This book takes place before and during Damaged, it can be read before, but I strongly urge that this be read AFTER Damaged. (this isn’t a gimmick or anything, the way the story is set it does do spoilers for Damaged) 

Xavier is set to protect the dying races. As a fierce gargoyle warrior, he isn't meant to love deeply. Drake is the last of his kind, and survival isn’t easy.

Xavier recognizes Drake as his true mate the first time they meet. However, Drake’s tormented past has led him to the wrong woman. Xavier must do what he can to save Drake from the choices he’s made. If Drake’s resentment, fears, and stubborn denial can be overcome, they’ll have a love that could bridge the races. 

This isn’t a story of redemption. This is their story.

Warning: This is an adult book. There are exploit scenes of sex, torture, and violence. This isn’t meant for readers under the age of 18. Please note this is a Male/Male Romance.

~~~ REVIEW ~~~

 

Stolen is a prequel to the book, Damaged (part one of the Rebirth Series). I highly recommend reading Damaged first. While Stolen could be considered a standalone novel and could be read first, it does offer details about events in Damaged that would definitely be spoilers for that novel.

Stolen tells the story of Drake (Audrey’s father) and Xavier (the gargoyle and head of the York clan). In Damaged, we learn that both men have a romantic relationship with one another. Stolen shows us how that bond begins, how it is tested and how it can survive through the pain and suffering of the two characters.

I have enjoyed the Rebirth series so far and found Stolen to be a great story about the two male characters. We get to learn the reasons behind certain events from Damaged and what Drake was going through when horrible acts were committed. While other characters from Damaged are in Stolen, most of them are secondary or have very minor roles (with the exception of Marcus – (side note: While I enjoyed reading Marcus’ dialogue in the Scottish brogue, there were times when it was difficult to understand what he was saying).

Drake’s shape-shifting abilities and his alter ego were strongly written and it was fascinating to hear the shape-shifter’s thoughts and how they often contradicted what Drake wanted.

I think I connected more with Drake than Xavier because of the situations from Damaged and what lead to the strife between the father and the daughter.

If you enjoyed reading Damaged, definitely give Stolen a try!

** Stolen is does contain violence and sexual content (male on male) that is not suitable for children under 18.

Elijah doesn’t have feelings. He doesn’t care, nor does he empathize, until the day Audrey was found. While searching her mind telepathically, things suddenly changed for him. He never imagined that he would face all the emotions plaguing him. Now he is on a mission to find the rumored Rebirth creature. What happens when a creature never meant to feel anything suddenly becomes attached to another? 

Valentine always knew there was something…different about her. While she hated even the thought of blood, she loved to help those in need. She felt an instant connection with her patients and always strived to save lives. Her adoptive sister always told her that she cared too much. That she couldn’t save everyone. And now there is a colder than ice man in her life that won’t go away, and won’t take no for an answer. The problem is, she never wanted to push him away, even though she knows he will be her downfall.

Synopsis:

Sin, Part 1: Overview

My name is Morgan Sinclare. My father is a United States Senator. He’s kept me locked away for most of my life in private all-girl schools, in our home. But I just heard what he has planned for me. He’s sold my hand to the highest bidder. I’m supposed to marry one of his friends, someone twice my age. I’m biding my time, acting like the giddy bride-to-be, like the dutiful daughter.

We are to elope as soon as possible to seal the deal. I acted devastated that I wouldn’t get my dream wedding, so they’re letting me choose the honeymoon location. I’ve always heard that Las Vegas is a magical place. And I think it’s time I disappear....

Sin, Part 2: Overview

My brief life as Morgan Fairbanks was a catastrophe. I was able to escape my father and Johnathon, the man he’d sold my hand to, but couldn’t escape my own stupidity. I had my first photography job and then my second. Both were successful. I was living on my own for the first time in my life. Sure, it was out of a crappy hotel, but that was temporary.

But then Shane Justice just had to walk his sexy ass into my life. I let my guard down as the shot glasses piled up. The next thing I knew, Morgan Fairbanks was gone. God rest her non-existent soul. Shane and I had gotten trashed, married and had stepped into a dangerous pile of crap in one foolish, forgotten night. My name is now Morgan Justice. I need an annulment stat! As much as I hate the name Sinclare, it’s mine. And I want it back.

Sin, Part 3: Overview

If there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s that being a puppet sucks. For most of my life, it was my father who worked the strings. I thought that the strings had finally been severed, that by running away I had finally assumed control of my life. I was wrong.

Maybe control is an illusion. Because since I’ve met Shane Justice, I’ve lost control of my mind. Hell, I’ve lost control of my own body at times. And I’ve learned that those strings are still there. They are being worked by the hand of a man I’ve never met. By all accounts, my puppet master is dangerous. But there is one thing he doesn’t know: I’m still desperate to sever those strings, desperate to get away. And desperation can make people do crazy things.

Sin, Part 4: Overview

The last weeks have been some of the most amazing and most tumultuous of my life. But I have a feeling that the most turbulent hours are those that are rushing toward me. It’s almost fight night.

Shane says he’ll keep me safe, and that he’ll make sure all bases are covered. I want to believe him. The feeling deep in my bones, the one that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end is here. And it disagrees with every confident word he speaks.

I can’t distract him with my worries. I have to be strong and reach deep within for some sort of strength. I have to trust Shane Justice with my life, and my heart.

Sin, Part 5: Overview

Sometimes you can see when your world crashes down around you. You realize the magnitude of the event as it’s unfolding. Other times, it isn’t until you see things clearly, in hindsight, that the ugly truth reveals itself. My world imploded. I watched it happen, took part in the events.
       But the truth is that I didn’t realize how much devastation would result from the events that shook me. I didn’t realize that my world touched so many others, that the cataclysm would spread and infect those as well.

My name is Morgan. I’m totally over last names, just like I’m over Las Vegas and love.

New Release ~ Renaria: Into the Adyton by J.L. Wilson

I have to admit that I have been enamored with this cover ever since J.L. Wilson did her cover reveal. The colors are absolutely stunning! 

So, of course, I had to have her new release on my blog.  :) 

Title: Renaria: Into the Adyton

Author: J.L. Wilson

Genre: Fantasy

Age: Young Adult

Release date: November 7, 2014

Synopsis:

A small memento, a universal power... It's the year 2126, post-World War V. Leda, age seventeen, bounds through the lush forested region of the Desintor Foothills as a regal, bow-wielding, High-Elf Scout. That is, when she’s logged into her favorite MMO game: Renaria. 

One crisp fall afternoon, an unseasonal storm fractures the sky of Trinton, New Texas with splinters of emerald lightning and otherworldly songs. Oddly, no one sees the storm except her brother and their guild mate Travis.

She brushes off the event as a fluke, but she can’t seem to get the song out of her mind. Suddenly, a new quest appears in her game directing her to the blue sand dunes of the Sinare Desert to meet Caleb, a legendary Elf Diviner.

Now she has a choice: Ignore the quest and turn off the game, or dive in and risk everything for a shot at an adventure.

 

Author Bio:

 

J.L. Wilson's interests in Sci-Fi, Fantasy and video games grew from years of watching Star Trek. During her graduate studies in anthropology she focused primarily on humans and their interaction with technology. All kinds! Language, tools, cyborgs, etc. She reads anything she can get her hands on that involve space, wizards, or video games. In her debut fantasy novel, Renaria: Into the Adyton, she sought out to weave these interests together. 

When not writing or reading you can find her in World of Warcraft, FFXIV or the latest MMORPG creating new characters or exploring new quests. She's on Facebook and Twitter and currently lives in Texas with her husband, four kids (cats) and a dog.
