Enjoy people! (I hope you do!) Please if you have the time and you’ve read, take a moment to leave a review. So if you haven’t read feel free to scroll up to the table of contents, find it and start it first! It however, is not necessary to read it before (or even after) Burned. ![]() Craved is Annie and Sabre’s story and takes place before Torch actually. In the back of this book I have enclosed some samples of books from some new authors that you might not have heard of, but you should definitely check out! I’ve also included the Novella of Craved. I wanted to catch readers up on what happened from Captured, but not overshadow the main characters. I wanted you to be able to read this story and enjoy Torch and Katie even if you had never read Skull. I tried to walk a fine line with this one. Especially, when the second book is about a different couple. It turns out that ending with a cliffhanger is simple, compared to picking up where it left off. ![]() When Skull first “came” to me and “demanded” I write his story (yes the voices speak to me, what can I say?), I never realized what a job it is to tackle three books that link so closely together. ![]()

I just hope that I was not totally right and the author could surprise me in the next installment, Steel Princess.įollow Me: Maggie’s Escape Book Blog | Facebook | Twitter | Goodreads ![]() I regrettably had to deduct a star off my review. Disappointingly, the bomb that was dropped at the end of the book proved that my intuition was correct. I had a feeling that that accident somehow was related to Aiden and I was afraid that the author would not re-use the same plot as Cruel King. She could not remember her childhood after a traumatic accident. There are so many secrets and mysteries in the stories, especially Elsa’s past. ![]() They fought dirty which made their sexy time more intense and explosive. They hated each other and wanted to one up that other at every chance. The dynamics between Aiden and Elsa was complicated. However, as the story goes on, I discovered that he could be so sweet and protective. The things that he did were questionable and his obsession in wanting to own Elsa was psychotic. Aiden, one of the school’s four horsemen and King of the RES, was cruel, crazy and broken. I started the series with Cruel King where I had a basic understanding of the hierarchy of Royal Elite School. Mysterious, steamy and dark, Deviant King was a twisted addictive read. ![]() ![]() ![]() For years until their attack on Alfred’s kingdom, Uhtred considers himself to be a Dane. ![]() As a child, he was captured by the Danes and raised as one of them.

Cornwell became a US citizen and currently lives with his wife in Charleston, South Carolina. Himself, Bernard grew out of the imposed religion of Christian Fundamentalism and became a firm nonbeliever. They were infamously against medicine even leading up to the 1930s. The Wiggins family were members of the Peculiar People, a pacifist sect against frivolity of any sort.
