Series: House of Obsidian #2
Author: Bella Jewel
Release Date: July 7, 2015

BLURB

Rainer Torrence is everything I could have wanted in my life and more. He became my best friend when I was Thirteen years old. From then on, we were inseparable. He was my first love and my first heartbreak. But I always thought it was forever. Until his Father died and things went bad. Then suddenly, he disappeared.

Ten years and I didn’t see or hear from him.

Then came the call I’d be praying for– he was back in town. Only the man I remembered is not him. This man is quiet, deadly, and so incredibly beautiful. He also doesn’t remember me. He looks into my eyes, and he sees nothing.

Nothing.

So, I let him believe I’m just a girl that walked into his bar. I let him believe I’m just a friend. I let him use me on the cold, dark nights. I let him believe that I am as emotionless about our relationship as he is. I just let the secret go on and on.

But all secrets have an end, don’t they?

BLURB

This isn’t the man I married.

The man I married was strong, beautiful and pure.

The man I married cherished our lives together.

The man I married loved me.

This…this isn’t that man.

One night. One accident. It changes everything.

I wish I could tell you the exact moment he fell out of love with me.

I wish I could tell you there was hope. That I hung on. That I fought.

I wish I could tell you that we fixed it.

That happily ever after was just out of our grips.

It wasn’t. I ran. In the dead of the night, I packed my things and I left him.

Now I’m back. He’s still the same man. A deadly underground fighter for the House of Obsidian. He’s still dangerous. He’s still broken. I still love him.

This is the part where I’m supposed to turn back around and run… But I don’t.

Title: Step-Lover
Author: Bella Jewel
Cover Design: LM Creations
Release Date: March 9, 2015

SYNOPSIS

You’ll only ever have one forbidden love.

Care to know why?

Because when you find it, forbidden love that is, you’ll forget everything else. You’ll forget your first kiss. You’ll forget the first boy who made you smile. You’ll forget all the bad, and remember all the good. You’ll forget that it’s wrong. You’ll forget that it hurts. You’ll forget everything that came before him.

Forbidden love, it has a way of changing you. The secrets. The lies. The guilt. You want something so much you no longer care about the world around you. The passion takes away the pain. I’ve felt it. I’ve lived it. I didn’t need it, but it chose me.

I met him before I knew. I loved him before I knew.

I didn’t know that he was my stepbrother. I knew I had stepbrothers, but I didn’t know he was one of them. Now I know, I have to walk away. My mom, she deserves this happiness so much more than I do. If she ever knew…it would destroy her.

You have to understand why.

I saw my father die right in front of my tiny, eight year old eyes. He took my sister with him. All that’s left is my mother and I. She’s found her happy place, the only place she’s had since our worlds were destroyed.

So you see, I can’t have him.

I can’t want him.

But there’s this problem with passion, and love, and destiny.

It doesn’t give you a damned choice.

{Review} ‘Til Death Volume 2 (‘Til Death #2)

January 25, 2015 Karine 1 Comment

‘Til Death Volume Two by Bella Jewel
Til Death #2
Read January 2015
5 Stars

Synopsis:

You know how it went for me.
You know what he did.
You know the fire he left inside my soul when he crushed me into a thousand tiny pieces.
Since Marcus, my life has been a blur of emptiness.
Since Marcus there has been nothing.
I’m alone, my Mom is dwindling and I feel nothing but emptiness. I work long, I work hard, but why? There’s no longer anything to fight for.
I know I have to face him. I know I have to go back. To fix my life, I have to break my ties to him.
Seeing Marcus again will destroy me, but it’s time to finish this.
I don’t expect the bitter, twisted emotions I’ll feel when I see him again, and when I lose everything once more, because of him, the only thing on my mind is revenge.
But how do you hurt someone you still love so deeply?
How can I still care for a monster? How can he still make me feel?
Our story is the most complicated of them all, it’s far from beautiful, it’s far from perfect, it’s just a twisted mess of emotion that neither of us knows how to fix.
But we will fix it. You’ll see.

Contains Adult Content. No Cliffhanger. HEA.

Series Reading Order:

#1 ‘Til Death Volume One ~ my review
#2 ‘Til Death Volume Two

Review:

What can a say? I just finished reading this and still I have no words. It was so different to how I thought it was going to play out. And that’s a good thing. I was hooked from the very start.

Two years has pasted since the events at the end of vol 1 and nothing is going to plan. Katia is floating through life, living each day from one to the next. I was surprised to find that Marcus was also in so much heartbreak. It made it all seem so much more real.

There were some events that were bit of a shock in the story line, however they make the story flow so nicely. I can’t really say to much without giving everything away. So if you want to know what happens, you’ll just have to read the book.

Title: ‘Til Death: Volume Two
Series: ‘Til Death #2
Author: Bella Jewel
Release Date: January 12, 2015

SYNOPSIS

They say there’s a fine line between love and hate.

There is.

I married a douchebag.

I didn’t know it at the time.

He came in like a handsome stranger and blew me off my feet.

I fell madly in love, like the naive girl I am.

Then he left me high and dry.

Turns out, I was nothing more than a business plan for billionaire playboy, Marcus Tandem.

He needed to be married in order to obtain his grandfathers business, and I was the poor victim in his path.

I believed in what we had, until the truth reared its ugly head.

I never meant anything to Marcus. Not a damned thing.

With my world spinning on its axis, the girl I once was has long since died.

Instead he left me as this empty, emotionless shell.

I may have made a vow before God to love and cherish him ‘Til Death do we part, but it’s time for me to give back to Marcus, exactly what he gave me.

He has to pay.

And pay he will.

*This is part two of a two book series and it will contain a HEA – Readers over 18+

Til Death Vol 1 by Bella Jewel
‘Til Death #1
Read January 2015
5 Stars

Review:

I finished reading this and had no words. There is just no way to describe the what I was feeling when I finished this book.

I so wanted to hate Marcus while reading this, yet at the same time I keep reading to see if he would become more human and loving, even just a little bit.

Katia, I felt so sorry for her. I was wondering how she could stay with a man like Marcus. But then love makes you do crazy things. The things that he does to her, the way she doubts herself, all for a man who may or may not love her. God it was so frustrating, in a good way.

Things were just starting to look good for Katia and Marcus and I was like ‘yes this could finally be changing’ and then bam ‘so did not see that coming’

Bella Jewel has written an incredible book that has kept me glued to the pages. Vol 2 cannot come soon enough for me

Title: Where Darkness Lies
Series: Criminals of the Ocean #2
Author: Bella Jewel
Publisher: Montlake Romance
Release Date: December 16, 2014

SYNOPSIS

Anger and pain brought them together, but their passion might just set them free.

Dimitri wants only one thing: revenge. His stepfather, Hendrix, has caused him nothing but pain and heartache. At last Dimitri can take something—someone—important to Hendrix and make him pay: Jess.

Jess is feisty and strong headed. Her past haunts her and connects her to the dangerously dark Dimitri in an unexpected way. Dimitri keeps his secrets locked deep inside, and Jess is drawn to this broken man like no one before.

With little to cling to besides their haunting pasts, both could have been doomed to lives spent raging against the darkness that holds them prisoner. Instead, it seems that as their pain draws them closer together, it is their desire that will set them free.

{Meme} Top Ten Books On My Summer 2014/2015 TBR

November 25, 2014 Karine 2 Comments

Top Ten Books On My Summer TBR. While it may not be officially summer yet, due to December being so busy, this weeks top ten will be a little earlier.

So far I haven’t been very good with these top ten season TBR posts. I seem to list ten that I would like to read, read a few of them and then get distracted by all the new books I want to read. So maybe this time around, I’ll try really hard to stick to my list and make sure I read them all.
So here it goes then
