Shadow Moon ~ Review


Shadow Moon
Sandman Saga
by M.R. Polish
Publication date: November 10, 2020
Emberlynn Cyrus has been discarded and unwanted her entire life—but they’ve all made a terrible mistake…

Seventeen-year-old Emberlynn knows she’s different. Not just because her parents are dead and no foster family will have her. No, Emberlynn sees things. She sees colors. The colors emerge around others and reveal their pasts; but what does it mean? With her head down she struggles to finish school and find a family, but the colors seem to want to take her down a different path.

A path that led to a man named Sander…

The ruler of the Night Kingdom had heard her name whispered like a fairy tale…

Sander knows what it means when the soul leads someone to another—she’s his soulmate. But he’s wise enough to know she’s so much more. Whatever secrets she harbors, he only wants to protect and love her. He knows their souls will be bound together, but he wants her to choose him. Not just because their fate has already been decided.

Little do they know she’s being hunted by beings who wish her dead. Her secret would change the world—her death would destroy it.

Intense and thrilling, the perfect soulmate romance, M.R. Polish's gripping fantasy is diving deep into a new world of magic and love, betrayal and evil.

 The characters, their world, the emotions....ALL OF IT! I can’t wait for the next release! I can’t wait to see where Emberlynn’s journey leads her. And.... I’m seriously in need of a Sander fix!

was born in Idaho, a long, long, long, maybe not that long time ago.... Writing has always been there for her. Growing up, her mind was filled with stories, some she shared and others she filed away to write down later in life. It wasn't until 2011 that she decided to publish her stories for everyone to enjoy. Her first award and when writing became more than just an idea was in the 5th grade. She won the scary story contest for the school newspaper. It is one story she still has tucked away for memories. Her teacher told her she could be anything she wanted and that she had a talant for writing, being creative and drawing people into her stories. M.R. took that to heart and continued to write, although mostly in secret until recent years.

Now you can find her enjoying life with her family - wrangling her four kids, setting traps in the house with toys for unsuspecting victims (aka, her husband) and writing down all her crazy and fun stories.

WTF ~ Review


WTF
Westbrook Elite Book #4
by Cambria Hebert
Release Date: January 10, 2023 

I don’t do commitment. And though I swing both ways, I don’t do men either.
It’s too messy, too stressful, and just asking for trouble.
I’d rather shine bright like the sun than drown in the rain, so I adopt a pounce-and-bounce lifestyle for which my sparkling charm keeps me from being hated.
When I show up in Sweden for a semester abroad, I expect a roomie. What I don’t expect is Lars. The storm to my sun. The test of my patience. How easy he makes it to forget all my reasons for staying away from guys.
No big deal. I’ll just pivot from pounce and bounce to roomies with benefits. I’ll get to indulge in that side of me, then leave it half a world away. What happens in Sweden stays in Sweden… until he follows me home.
Lars shows up at Westbrook looking like my little brother’s new swim bro. Just as alluring as he did before.
And all I can do is ask myself, WTF?
My resolve for an uncomplicated, stress-free life isn’t something I’m willing to give up for anyone, even if his icy-blond hair begs for my fingers and those pale-blue eyes are haunted by shadows.
I might be the sun, but I am not his sun, and it’s not my job to chase away whatever sent him running here. He swears it isn’t me. But I’m calling bullshit. Why else would he show up on my turf?
But then shit starts happening, and the shadows in his eyes turn to panic. I catch a glimpse of the bruises on his creamy, flawless skin.
I can’t keep him at arm’s length anymore. I don’t want to. Protecting him means surrendering to everything I always refused. His destruction or mine.
The choice is simple, so achingly absolute that I can’t help but wonder once more…
WTF?

Please note that WTF contains stalking and domestic abuse (not between the main characters). There is also mention of (off-page) parental death. Some readers may find these things uncomfortable.
WTF is part of the Westbrook Elite series but can be read as a standalone.

Oh my grumpy angel!, April 11, 2023
Ok, I knew I needed this book before I even knew it was being written, & it did NOT disappoint!! Win & Lars story was everything I hoped it would be & more! While the Westbrook Elite books can be read as stand alones I highly recommend reading each & every one! Each new release brings us closer to the Bro family we have already grown to love, & personally I can not get enough! Each has won me over in a different way, & I am continuously surprised & excited for everything each new relationship brings to this world. As if the excitement, suspense, & bro hood weren’t enough we are treated with a good dose of competition, laughter, & sarcasm too. What a ride WTF has been while we’ve gotten to know Lars while bringing out a whole new side of Win too. And, now there are several more characters I hope we get to hear more from very soon. Seriously though I NEED them SOON!

ALSO AVAILABLE IN THE WESTBROOK ELITE SERIES
Welcome to Westbrook University…
Where the only thing more elite than the Ivy League academics and exclusive enrollment for the monied is the swimmers.
Some colleges might revere football, baseball, or even hockey, but not Westbrook.
At Westbrook, it’s all about the water. Or rather, who’s in it.
More than one Elite swimmer has gone on to become a decorated Olympian and nationwide sensation, so it’s all eyes on the hot men who spend more time in Speedos than jeans.
Eventually, though, these guys have to get out of the pool. And when they do?
Love, drama, and jealousy await.
Westbrook Elite is a college sports romance series of stand-alone novels with sexy swimmers, suspense, and page-turning plots. The only promise the author makes is that each book will have a happy ending… But who knows what it will take to get there?

Throne of Broken Wings by M. R. Polish

 Throne of Broken Wings
Ash King Series ~ Book 3
by M.R. Polish
Publication Date: September 30, 2023

"The stars will fade before my love."

Caitin's powers have awakened, and it is only her mate's blood she craves. When she is told of his disappearance, she goes after him. There was no soul she wouldn't kill, no kingdom she wouldn't burn, no future she wouldn't sacrifice to save him. The Darkness had taken enough. It could not have him too.

Layke would gladly endure everything if it meant his mate was safe. They could drain him of all blood, use him as a puppet, play with his mind... as long as it wasn't Caitin. Then she was there, with red wings and fire. She was glorious and fierce, fighting to free him.

But his freedom wasn't the end. They would have to unveil the secrets of the past and ask the gods for help. With their friends, they find life and death. But neither of them were prepared for the sacrifices that would be made. After all, only one summoner could reign.

Are you ready to soar?, January 29, 2023
I have loved these characters & their world from the very first glimpse received, but Throne of Broken Wings far outshines the rest! Everything we thought we knew tests us as truths come to light & hard decisions are made. Far more intense than the previous in the series on every level including the spice. Caitlin, Layke, Mym, Vorigan, Finnian, Tyriv, Ilaira, & Brodrick are still my faves yet we get to know some new unforgettable characters… & some we would have gladly thrown into the trials. If you enjoy an action packed emotionfest of mates, fates, & all that awaits this will surely please you! I loved every bit of it!! Next please! The gods have some work to do yet!
