Well….. my first thoughts after reading this: Fear and debasement and kinda scary too. This is chock full of short stories from various authors. Wicked, deadly, seductive, awful, amazing, crazy, humiliating, sick, and blissful. How often do you get to use all those words together describing a book? Like with any anthology it can be hard to review as the stories are all so short it is hard not to give anything away. So in keeping with that I will say: some stories made me instantly want to know more about the author and their series. Others made me do a big ‘ol “HELL NO” and some just creeped me out. Do I recommend it? Sure. Is it for everyone? Uh, no. One thing is for sure though, after reading the teaser in the back from Skye Warrens’ Prison I am on book watch for a release date. *Warning sexually explicit. Some stories depict Rape, Torture, BDSM, and Debasement. 4 Stars T~

Super cute, super short novella from “new to me” author Anna DeStefano. My first impression was that she is a solid writer. Great storyline and some really good characters had me liking this book. I really liked the way we are introduced to the two main leads, Dru and Brad. It was instantly known that they had a past, and there was a hope of a real fight to get their future. However, I just didn’t really connect to this couple. Maybe it was due to the length of this novella or that we kind of had a parallel with some of the younger characters. I dunno. Steam factor ranges around a three as we don’t entirely fade to black, but do. The ending is incredibly sweet and I did find myself enjoying this read. 3 Stars T~

       ~ Book Synopsis ~ I wish I could tell you that I was stolen. Kidnapped off the street in some third-world country, sold against my will, while a desperate family back home waited and prayed and talked about me on the news. I wish I could tell you that, because then you might understand. What really happened? I walked to my fate with my eyes wide open. But before you say I deserved whatever happened to me, you should know. I was desperate. I was alone. I was afraid for my life. You would have done the same thing. I thought things couldn’t possibly get any worse. But then, I woke up in darkness, unable to move. There was only one thing I was sure of: I wasn’t alone anymore. And then I heard HIS voice...

At a 175 pages, Under His Protection is a great way to spend the afternoon. It’s a great little mystery/thriller of a read. Quick and easy to pick up and put down, this book is perfect for what I call “waiting room reads”. The case is not a puzzling one, as we change back and forth from the villain to our two main characters. It is written in third person so getting truly attached to these guys doesn’t really happen for me; however I did find them extremely likable. All in all, a solid 3.5 star read. T~

  About Jewel E. Ann Jewel is a free-spirited romance junkie with a quirky sense of humor. With 10 years of flossing lectures under her belt, she took early retirement from her dental hygiene career to stay home with her three awesome boys and manage the family business.

Devouring two and three books a week but still craving more, she decided to practice sustainable reading, AKA writing. When she's not donning her cape and saving the planet one tree at a time, she enjoys yoga with friends, good food with family, rock climbing with her kids, watching How I Met Your Mother reruns, and of course…heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, panty-scorching novels. 1.)     What is the most exciting thing that has happened so far in your latest release?
