Princes of the Underworld
Olivia Ash - 2018
One strong-willed human. A bewitched amulet that makes her Queen of the Underworld—and binds the five of them together. Sadie Blackwood knows 2 things: she's broke as hell and doesn't know how much longer she can keep her paramedic job. She's exhausted, stressed, and starting to wish for a way out of her lonely life in Seattle. But when her sister Blair arrives unannounced in the middle of the night, covered in blood and carrying a glowing medallion, Sadie has no idea her wish is about to come true in the most violent of ways. All of hell is after the amulet’s vast power. And when Blair puts it around Sadie’s neck, all of hell is suddenly after her as well. Separated from Blair and with hardly any information to go on, Sadie finds herself surrounded by four stunning men—the warring demon brothers of the Underworld. The princes hate each other with a passion, and yet they’re bound to her side, captivated and ensnared by her magic. In an instant, the amulet gives Sadie everything she ever wanted—wealth, power, even a fortress with a mind of its own. But she also inherits the amulet’s enemies, and they’re about to kick down her door. Sadie has no idea who she can trust—except for her men. As she spends time with each of the supernatural princes who won’t leave her the hell alone, she falls for them. Hard. Though they can’t stand each other, she can’t imagine ruling her new kingdom without them all. But this is the Underworld, the land of monsters and warlocks, of angels and deadly treachery. The shadows of the Underworld hold secrets, and as her enemies close in on her new life, Sadie has to make a choice—surrender her newfound power, or stand as Queen and fight for the last remaining ounce of integrity and justice left in the Underworld. There are armies at the gate. Traitors in the fortress. Blood on the walls. Good thing Sadie is too damn stubborn to quit. Princes of the Underworld is a full-length reverse harem novel. Get ready for a captivating story, immortal romance, lip-biting love scenes, earth-shatteringly powerful magic, one kickass heroine, four stunning demon princes, lots of toned muscles, fights to the death, and edge-of-your-seat action.

Rumors are that Tommy eats the souls of those foolish enough to try. Three strikes and you’re out. But really, Poe wasn’t using his soul anyway. And if it saves his roost? Worth it.Tommy isn’t what Poe expects. Demon—huge, horned, hairy, and scary, right? Nope. Blond, gorgeous, with a bubble butt, and a lilting drawl that beckons Poe to come play. Total hookup-app fantasy material. Even if he is a murder twink.Poe’s no angel, but Tommy . . . well he’s more devil than demon. Yet, Poe just can’t seem to keep his feathers out of the fire. As one bargain turns into two, and then a third tragedy strikes the ravens, Poe finds himself falling for a guy who may very literally be the death of him. Or maybe the flames will burn them both.The Demon’s in the Details is a fast-paced, roller coaster of a romance with a guaranteed HEA and lots of steam. Shenanigans include: a gold object that is definitely not a ring, a best friend who’s trigger-happy, and a demon who’s got a few surprises up his, uh, sleeve.

Mating My Mob
Amanda Cashure - 2019
Meanwhile, in Australia… a feisty chick in her red ballgown is jumping off the Pyrmont Bridge in Darling Harbour to escape dingo shifters. She’s saved by five guys with mixed feelings over whether to kill her or use her to form the mate bond that will move their lives from 'fight and run' into 'safety and belonging'... if only one of them wasn’t keeping a secret that completely changes the game. An ambush, and the realisation that mate magic runs deeper than they thought, leads them to hide in a cabin in the Blue Mountains – where Jager bombs are drunk and things get out of control in the hot and naked kind of way. This is not a parody of Australian life and is definitely a genuine shifter RH paranormal romance. Our Harper gets to keep all 5 of her men, after they earn her trust and her heart. This is a fast burn, with m/f, m/m, and m/m/f (threesomes, foursomes, and moresomes) and a trigger notice for not-entirely-consensual anal (dubcon) and an instance of self-harm which may be triggering for some people - but which is not part of the main plot or an ongoing recurrence. If you like fast burn RH, from 0-100 in about 10 chapters, this is for you. If you like slow-medium burn with lots of tension and lead up, then go into this one with your eyes wide open for something different. The premise for this book actually started as a dare on facebook... and out of that the author was supposed to write a short story but couldn't help herself, she's a sucker for world building and character development and that takes time. So here it is. For anyone who would love a second book please head over to the facebook group 'Amanda Cashures Keepers' and share your desires. As it stands this is a stand-alone, book 2 won't exist unless readers really want it. It has a Happily For Now ending where Harper gets to keep her five guys and they get all their hopes and dreams answered. Its a full-length novel at 100k and there's plenty of bonus materials over on 'Amanda Cashures Keepers' facebook group.
