This was my first time reading something from Mute, and it certainly won’t be my last. The flowing narrative and easy voice in which this tale is told had me thoroughly enthralled – I can’t wait to dive into more.
Nightmare was my first delve into the work of author Bethany Winters, and color me intrigued. Clocking in at 136 pages, this delicious little morsel is Dark Romance with a capital D; a tale of two lovers, who, despite the festering toxicity between them, are made for one another. With a healthy dose of hopeless romanticism, mixed with a plethora of “touch her and I’ll unalive you” vibes, Nightmare is the perfect read if you’re looking for a quick, steamy standalone.
I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again…I. LOVE. ANTHOLOGIES. Through the many I’ve read, I’ve been introduced to so many wonderfully talented authors that I may never have heard of otherwise, and A Night of Sin and Corruption is no exception. With seven short stories, each themed after one of the deadly sins, each so very different with their execution and content, I just couldn’t get enough.
Earlier this year I began falling down the Harley Laroux rabbit hole, quickly consuming several of her books, including The Dare, which left me in desperate need for more. Upon hearing we’d be getting more of Jess, Daddy Manson, Lucas, Jason and Vincent, Losers was definitely my most anticipated read of 2022…and now it has become my top read of the year. Any and all expectations I had were thoroughly blown out of the water, and now I’m champing at the bit for Part 2.

Even if that means waking up the morning after not only married, but bound by magic.

Forbidden unrequited love, dueling secret societies, and filthy dirty smut, what more could you ask for?

And those sparks are fanned into an inferno as the story continues on.
It Was Only a Kiss is one of those books you think you’re prepared for, but you really have no idea what you’re getting yourself into. This is a short novella showcasing a forbidden romance that has been brewing for years and a night of firsts with levels of depravity I never knew I needed. I did. I needed all of it. It’s hot, it’s taboo, it’s absolutely filthy and I loved every second of it. There, I said it.
Bait is the tale of Abigail and Leo, two broken souls seeking light in an all-consuming darkness. It’s a beautiful account of the journey of self discovery, along with the hope that a stranger can aid in mending the broken pieces that lie within. I honestly had no idea what I was getting myself into when I began this book, as this is the first that I’ve read by author Jade West, but I can tell you it most definitely won’t be the last. What. A. Story.
