Synopsis

An ancient grudge. A forbidden love. The only thing worse than being a demon is being a Valari. As an undergraduate at Los Angeles’s Alameda University, Kara Valari can sometimes succeed at forgetting she’s both. Lost between the pages of the classics and tucked into the shadows of lecture halls, she can dodge the paparazzi’s lenses as well as her family’s publicized dramas—not to mention their private expectations. She has one more year to feed her true passions. Then she’ll be expected to fulfill a much darker destiny. Cursed with inexplicable strength and godlike stature, literature professor Maximus Kane knows all about darkness. Every day he’s reminded of the missteps of his childhood and the devastating consequences they’ve had on those dearest to him. To atone, Maximus spends his nights alone and his days submerged in the quiet life of academia. His existence has become a study in control, and he’s become a master at it—until Kara Valari walks into his toughest course. Viscerally, Kara’s everything he craves. Logically, she’s everything he rejects. She’s a starlet of privilege. She’s also a student. And after one touch, he can’t deny that she’s awakened something in him that may never go dormant. Nothing about her makes sense, but everything about her feels right. Especially in the deepest strands of his DNA, which are still shadows of mystery to him—a mystery Kara seems determined to uncover. She’s Hollywood royalty. She’s forbidden fruit. And he’s pretty sure she could be the answer to everything.  

Paranormal romance is not a genre I usually read, however since it is co written by one of my favourite authors, Angel Payne,  I thought I would give it a try and I am so glad that I did. Although it is PNR, it was intriguing and Blood of Zeus was a book that I had a hard time putting down; in fact I was so invested in the story line that I forgot that there were paranormal elements to the story. 

The chemistry that sizzles between the mysterious and tortured Maximus Kane and Kara Valari was so scorchingly hot that at times I felt as though I was going to burst into flames.  Maximus is swoon worthy and there is something about him that ticked the boxes for me whilst Kara is a strong determined woman. 

The secondary characters were just as engaging and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series. I am also going to purchase the audio as soon as it is available.

Is ignoring the heat a recipe for disaster?

Grant Twombley has it all—a successful career, a contacts list full of gorgeous and willing bedmates, and the ear of Los Angeles’s most prominent captain of industry.

But being Sebastian Shark’s right-hand man isn’t without its challenges. Messy ones. Unknown forces still work to take down Shark Enterprises, and Grant’s full focus is needed to protect their empire. But he’s sitting on a scandalous secret. A truth he can’t even share with his best friend. Until disaster strikes.

Rio Gibson carries dark secrets of her own. She hides them well…until her world is shattered. She holds Shark responsible, but the only person she shares her suspicions with is also the man closest to him—the giving, gorgeous man who makes her feel so many new and surprising things. Dangerous things.

But Rio’s used to handling the heat in the kitchen, and she can handle this challenge too. Getting out simply isn’t an option—no matter how bad it’ll burn in the end.

Shark's Edge Book Series:

1. Shark's Edge

2. Shark's Pride

3. Shark's Rise

4. Grant's Heat

Grant’s Heat is book four in the Shark’s Edge series but we have shifted from Sebastian and Abbigail to the relationship growing between Grant and Rio and this one is just as spicey as the previous books with the continuous underlying current of danger running throughout.

Grant and Rio have been friends but when Rio’s life takes an unexpected turn and she is having trouble dealing with it, Grant is their to pick up the pieces or at least he is trying to and now their relationship has also taken a turn that neither may be ready for.  This is not the end to their story so get ready. I know I am excited to see where this story is taking us.

Grant’s Heat is the third book in the latest collaboration between Angel Payne and Victoria Blue. Having read several books from this writing duo, I was expecting heat, spice, suspense and danger and that is exactly what I got. Such is the flow of this writing duo, I have no idea where one author finished and the other took over.

Grant Twombley is a an alpha, dominating male focused on achieving his business goals and as Sebastian Shark’s right hand man, he is in a position of power and influence. It also makes for a busy and at times dangerous life since the Shark empire is surrounded by competitors that would love to destroy them and bring them down. Grant is a keeper of secrets and not only for those who employ him.

Rio Gibson is also a woman with secrets and when her life is thrown into turmoil, she blames the Shark’s. However she wasn’t counting on the attractive man who is so close to the family who she blames for destroying her world.

The story was passionate, fast paced and kept me on the edge of my seat. I was riveted from the fist to the last chapter and could not put it down.

While sparks fly when they meet, it is obvious that the chemistry that sizzles between them is off the charts. Will the passion that ignites burn them or could it be the start of something amazing? One click and find out.

The Edge—the most luxurious Los Angeles skyscraper ever conceived—will be his legacy, an icon to dominate LA’s skyline just as Shark dominates its boardrooms. Self-made businesswoman Abbigail Gibson is on a trajectory toward massive success, but to get there, she must navigate the egos of her demanding clients—particularly the driven and obstinate Shark, who possesses the special talent of aggravating and arousing her within the same breath. They are a collision of chemistry, but is their potent attraction toward each other worth losing sight of their ultimate goals? Taking a bite of passion has never carried more risk—or promised sweeter reward. Fate has other ideas, however, as Sebastian is targeted by unknown enemies and Abbi is caught in the fray. Will the danger draw them closer or drive them apart? Shark's Edge Book Series: 1. Shark's Edge 2. Shark's Pride 3. Shark's Rise

This is the first book I have read that this duo have written together and I going to be honest I wasn’t sure what to expect ... what I got was a book that kept me on the edge of my seat from the first page to the very last line. If you are looking for a book that’s full of mystery, suspense and all mixed up with a lot of heat this is the book for you......

This is Sebastian Shark and Abbigail Gibson’s story and it’s a tale about a man who is a dominating pure alpha  who was prepared to trample who ever gets in his way, well that was before he met Abbigail. This couple share an instant attraction and intense sizzling chemistry but it’s only when the passion collides that we get to see a different side to both Sebastian and Abbigail will the passion ignite or burn out ..,guess you need to read the book to find that out.
Shark’s Edge is a captivating read that I highly recommend.

Shark's Edge is book one of an exciting new series from Angel Payne and Victoria Blue. Having read several books from this writing duo, I was expecting heat, spice, suspense and danger and that is exactly what I got. I have no idea where one author finished and the other took over, such is the seamlessness of this writing duo.

Sebastian Shark is a an alpha, dominating male focused on achieving his business goals. Abbigail Gibson’s a self made business woman, determined to make her catering business a success, even if it means handling difficult clients such as Sebastian.

While sparks fly when they first meet, it is obvious that the chemistry that sizzles between them is off the charts. Will the passion that ignites between them burn them or could it be the start of something amazing?

I am excited to see where these authors take this series and cannot wait for more.

Blog Tour & Review by Erin: Mastered by Angel Payne

Mastered (Honor Bound #8)  by  USA Today Bestselling author Angel Payne.   Formerly published as the Wild Boys Series. Releases 15th May Each book in the series is standalone Genre: Romance/Military/MMF #mastered #honorbound Synopsis: To save a friend’s life, she’ll sacrifice anything. Even herself. Brynna Monet is on a man diet for the rest of her life. No more G-men, spies, or soldiers, period. Willpower comes easily from the scars left on her heart by a string of dominant bad boys who have all asked too high a price for her passion—her trust.When the unspeakable happens and her best friend is abducted by a madman, Brynn is assigned as a secret consultant on one of the military’s riskiest rescue missions, but she’s got help from a pair of the Special Forces’ most notorious bad boys—Rhett Lange and Rebel Stafford. From the moment Brynn lands in the middle of a Texas wilderness with these two, she questions the sanity of her decision—and the survival of her willpower. Like the most decadent dominant dessert, Rhett and Rebel embody everything her body craves—and everything her spirit fears. Their control unravels her fantasies, their command exposes her desire…and their courage moves her heart. But, like all dreams, it’s temporary. She knows better than to give up her trust—until the fate of the mission hinges on exactly that. Can she face her biggest fear to save a friend’s life while retaining her own soul?

Thrust together on a mission to save a comrades wife (Shay nearly broke my heart with the fear he had for his wife Zoe) who has been kidnapped, opens up a huge can of worms and unlocks feelings that at times appeared overwhelming for Rhett, Rebel and Brynna .

Although this is a stand–alone, I really would recommend that you read all the previous books in the series before embarking on this adventure. Characters and situations form previous books are referred to from the beginning and I do feel it may help if you have read them.

I did get a little confused at times as to whose POV I was actually in, perhaps a little more confusing as both the heroes have names that start with an R; Rhett Lange and Rebel Stafford. On several occasions I was getting confused as to whether it was Rhett or Rebel who I was “listening” too. I must say I thoroughly loved Brynna Monet; a feisty woman who is determined to stay on a man diet for the rest of her life. Brynna doesn’t trust easily and she finds herself confused with how she responds to both Rhett and Rebel, individually and together.  

 I adore the romantic suspense genre, throw in BDSM and Ménage and I am in heaven. The chemistry and camaraderie between Rhett and Rebel was at times frustrating but these two work off each other so well and when they work together on Brynna then the outcome is extremely hot and sexy.

It was interesting how Ms. Payne touched on the men’s “true” feelings for each other and to be honest, I wasn’t sure if it was going to be explored or not. It was obvious that there is more to Rhett and Rebel than just brothers in arms. These two seem to complete each other although I wasn’t sure that they would actually admit to that. I am certainly glad that they did in fact get together in the end. As a threesome I love Brynna, Rhett and Rebel together. Their chemistry was overwhelming.
