Savannah, Georgia area – Present
Day
Hope Taylor knew all along that she
was having an affair with a married man, Dr. Mike Shannon, but
like other women in the same predicament, she believes they love
each other more than anything. When Mike is injured, Hope comes
face to face with Mrs. Shannon, who makes it clear it’s over
between Mike and Hope. Hope is not one to give up the
relationship, despite all indications that she isn’t the first
mistress Mike’s ever had. On the sidelines, ready to provide
consolation for Hope, is Mark, a coworker at the real estate
agency. An eye for an eye. Make Mike jealous and he’ll toss his
wife aside and come crawling back to Hope. Except, it doesn’t
quite work out that way…
A story about adultery and revenge
is not always a pretty one to read, but Destiny Blaine pens an
intriguing tale. With a shocker of an ending, readers might just
want to pick up BETRAYAL OF A MISTRESS to find out themselves
what happens.

Devon Falls;
Fairy Court – Present Day
Hailey
Meredith's Aunt Tabby was a helpful sort and one of her goals
was to help Hailey find the love of her life. So Aunt Tabby
concocted a love potion using a recipe she found in a book from
a second-hand store. Watching her aunt add ingredients like toad
legs to the smoking cauldron did nothing to boost Hailey's
confidence and the smell was nauseating. When the potion was
done, Hailey held her nose, drank it and left for home as
quickly as she could.
Prince Tynan
has endured another lecture from his mother, Queen Gwenith,
about finding a mate, even if he has to go outside his realm.
How is a handsome fairy prince to find his true love if he is
not looking?
At a place
called Simply Dreams in Devon Falls Square, Hailey is given a
golden egg that plays the love theme from Tchaikovsky's Romeo
and Juliet by the proprietress. There is a legend attached to
the exquisite piece...something to do with finding one's true
love.
When Hailey and
Tynan meet, will either the potion or the legend be of help to
them?
CHARMED MAGIC
is a pleasing, charming, modern fairy tale. The characters are
real and, as someone who believes in magic, I found it whimsical
and entertaining. Raine Delight has a breezy style that sweeps
the reader along on a fun-filled excursion into a place of
steamy romance and happily-ever-after. I recommend it.

RRTE Rating: Missionary
Three years ago, Damien Dracon was forced to make a
decision...his family or the love of his life, Alicia Stevens.
Unable to disappoint his grandfather, Damien chose his family
and left behind a brokenhearted Alicia.
Present Day Devon Falls
Damien has returned to Devon Falls to win back the woman he
left. He's finally made peace with his heritage and managed to
have grown up along the way, too. Now all he needs to do is get
the courage to talk to Alicia and somehow win back the girl.
But what he doesn't expect is that Damien isn't the only one
with secrets. Alicia and Damien have a rocky road ahead of them
as they work through the baggage each carries from their pasts.
Will they stay together once the dust clears and they've laid it
all on the table?
I love that Damien and Alicia are finally going to be open and
honest towards each other in FIERY MAGIC. I like how the author,
Raine Delight, first introduces us to the story with Sarah,
Damien's mother, giving loving yet cryptic advice to her son
regarding Alicia. That his mother told him that he must stop
running from his destiny and love. I also enjoyed that his twin
brother, Rod, continues to pester Damien to put himself out of
his misery and go see Alicia once and for all. Rod has an
unusual way of handling things but he does it out of family
love. Rod finally convinces Damien to reveal the real reason he
left Alicia behind broken hearted.
With that said, FIERY MAGIC, though a heart-wrenching story, is
a bit too short. However, it's still a great book and will have
readers interested in this new series by Raine Delight.

Freyja's Palace and Earth
Silfr, daughter of the Goddess Freyja and a fallen hero, is a
Swan Maiden and lives a quiet, though lonely life. Her mother
would like to help Silfr recognize her self-worth, so Freyja
sends her to Earth on a mission to cleanse a grove dedicated to
the Goddess.
Ruling Chieftain, Rulf, sees a beautiful woman bathing in the
moonlight, is instantly smitten, and proceeds to show her just
how much. When he picks up her Swan Mantle, she becomes his,
body and soul. Their coming together is hot enough to burn up
the trees.
Religious strife and adversaries threaten Rulf's peaceful
kingdom, and his promise to keep Silfr safe in her mortal
existence gets harder and harder to keep.
RING OF FIRE is an intriguing take on an old legend. The prose
is purple-tinged in spots, but the story is fine, and the
narrative flows well. When you read, it you will need something
cold. I recommend RING OF FIRE.

When his girlfriend of a few months
took it upon herself to move into his house without asking,
Brice Fitzpatrick didn't necessarily agree, but for the sake of
harmony, he didn't say anything either. However, when Ashley
starts encouraging more and more S&M into their bedroom
activities, Brice call the relationship done. The only problem
is, Ashley won't move out.
Hating to go home at night, Brice
is the last one on the construction site when he hears a noise
upstairs in the half-built house. Calling out, he is surprised
to see the shadowy apparition of the most gorgeous woman he's
ever seen. Suddenly thrust into a world he never knew existed,
Brice will have to make decisions that could doom or save a
relationship he never thought possible. Once again, the bee in
Brice's bonnet continues to be what to do about Ashley.
An out of the ordinary, but highly
entertaining short story, SHAMEFUL DESIRES introduces readers to
the kinkier side of romance. Brice doesn't mind a little S&M
now and then, but he draws the line at hitting women. Saebien
and Sarina, brother and sister, come from another dimension
where the norms between men and women are quite different.
Readers get to see a meeting of these two worlds and enjoy the
erotic connection these characters make with each other and the
ultimate joining with their soul mates.

Hope can’t forget what happened a
year ago. (You’ll need to read BETRAYAL OF A MISTRESS to find
out why…) But she is still with Mike and still hopes he’ll leave
his wife. They are friends with Karen and Paul Livingston, a
married couple who are swingers. Karen has bragged about Paul’s
sexual prowess to Hope in the past, and when Hope and Mike are
invited to dinner at the Livingston house, readers will wonder
if there will be more than dinner served.
TAMING A MISTRESS is a continuing
series by author Destiny Blaine. The theme is the volatile
relationship between Hope and Mike. Hope is Mike’s mistress, and
with adultery the subject, it is hard to like either character.
Why Hope has continued to remain with Mike even when it’s made
clear he won’t leave his wife, Anne, makes you wonder about
Hope’s sanity. TAMING A MISTRESS is twenty-two pages long, but
the first few pages catches readers up on what has happened
since BETRAYAL OF A MISTRESS left off. The rest is what happens
at the dinner party. I can see more stories are planned in the
Seductive Mistress series. Will Hope get Mike in the end,
or is their relationship doomed to go nowhere? Stayed tuned…
Explosive, hot, and a tale with a
soap opera feel, head on over to Mardi Gras and pick up your
copy of TAMING A MISTRESS.
