MY BOOK PILE

MANY BOOKS ON THIS PAGE EMMA HAS READ, OR ARE ON HER TBR PILE

My rating system is simple:

5 stars:  I read it, and bought the author’s whole catalog (Or am in the process of doing so. These things take time.)

4 stars: I like. I read the next in series, too

3 stars: It’s okay

2 stars: If you have nothing nice to say, don’t leave a rating

1 stars: Seriously, you have to be a 3 star to get me past the Look Inside. So I have no 1 or 2 stars on my list.

It’s just a scratch – a scratch that transforms the witch forever.
 
Already a witch at breaking point, I really can’t be dealing with the latest scandal affecting my life. I’m busy selling spells from my shop when my brother accidently almost kills a werewolf, attracting the wrath of my enemy, the Brighton Pack alpha, Malone. His attack leaves me with a scratch that turns me into the first ever hybrid-witch and solidifies my expulsion from the coven, leaving me all alone. I’m not sure how much more I can take.
 
When Malone smells his toxins in me, he vows to help me through the first shift. As alpha, his responsibility is to his pack and turning a witch is against sacred wolf laws. His pack will disown him if he doesn’t get rid of me. He’s ready to rectify his wrong, threatening to end my life, until I shift and the mating bond is evoked.
 
Can Malone reject the forbidden pull towards me in order to keep his pack? Or will I be able to escape before he claims me and jeopardises his position as alpha?

His dark desires draw her into his world, and things heat up between them.
 
But with a demon gargoyle scratching at her window, and wolves sniffing at the door, Aisha might not stay in the vampire’s grasp for long.
Danger and temptation surround her on all sides, but Aisha is determined to fight them all.
EMMA READ THE TRILOGY. 4 STARS. My first rejected mates romance.

My father made a terrible mistake. One I’m left paying for.
As a wolf shifter growing up in a strong pack, I should be living my best life. But after my father tried to kill our leader, I’m labelled an outcast, traitor, less than dirt.

When I can’t take pack life any longer, I run, but apparently they don’t like losing their punching bag. Torin, the leader’s son, drags me back before my first shift… a shift that will reveal my true mate. I never could have predicted who mine would be, but the moment my wolf looks upon him, I’m filled with hope for a brighter future.

Afterall, no one ever rejects their true mate, right?
Wrong. Very wrong.

When the wolves attack, my soul screams for vengeance, and somehow I touch the shadow world. Somehow I bring him to our lands.

The Shadow Beast. Our shifter god. The devil himself.
Turns out being rejected by my mate was only the beginning.

EMMA’S TBR LIST

S.O.S.
Psychotic wolf-witch hybrid on the loose.

Aurelia Clementine is about to make this new pack her b*itch!
I, Aurelia Delianna Clementine, used to have all my screws intact as the strongest — and sole hybrid — of the Clementine family. With magic that could destroy New York with a snap of my fingers, it’s a good thing my inner mini-wolf had more sanity than me, especially after I lost a chunk of myself when I was rejected by my best friend.

That incident destroyed the future I envisioned for us, but now I’m living my best life with my bestie CEO, Willow De Luca, and her stalker “not my boyfriend” Onyx Charm. When two new packs enter New York, I decide to have some fun with them, but I never expected to meet him again: Ace Hunter.
My former best friend — or should I say, my destined mate who rejected me?

In a world of darkness and threatened power lineages, I’ll have to prove to him and his dangerous pack that I’m not the same helpless hybrid he abandoned way back then.

I may be crazy, high on happy pills, and talk to myself from time to time, but I’m more powerful than ever before.
It’s time for him to face the consequences of breaking a Clementine.

WOLF REJECTED is a full-length (157k+) Dark Paranormal Rejected Mates Romance. Recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. Readers of WOLF AWAKENED – WILLOW’S FORBIDDEN PACK will enjoy this thrilling adventure of Willow De Luca’s best friend, Aurelia Clementine.

DRAGONS

FAE

Long ago, darkness and light came together and created beauty… a beauty that will destroy this world.

The dream comes again, always the same dark twisted woods; a place I knew too well, a place I’ve traveled hundreds of times before.
But it’s just a dream my foster mom insists, then why is he in my head all the time. He who has no name, who refuses to give me his name.


Little wolf, he calls me, telling me secrets, listening to me, and makes me blush with the dirty things he says. Until the day everything changes.


I’m not ready for a world that shouldn’t exist. To meet three stunning hot men with powers I can’t fathom, each more dangerous than the next. One dominant and terrifying. One cruel with his words. And one who unmistakably stole my heart and insists I’m his.


I’m in danger they say, but is their protection enough to keep me safe, to help me find a happily ever after before it’s too late? To awaken me to the truth of who I really am.

EMMA READ. 5 STARS.

Miari
Blue skin. Seven feet. Strapped with corded muscle, the aliens have come again but this time, their king is here and he’s watching me with hunger.

A hybrid with red alien skin and brown human eyes, I’ve got no family and am not desired by colony men. I’m an inventor, a mechanic, a tinkerer. The alien king seeks to claim me, but he’ll have to find me first.

Our little colony is a scary, desperate place and I’m willing to meet it head on if it means escaping him and the alien sensations he stirs deep in my gut, where light and truth cannot touch them.

Raku
She is my Xiveri mate, yet she runs from me – straight into the horrors of her savage moon colony. Does she not know that I would slaughter in her defense? Nox, she does not.

My brilliant hybrid thinks herself a slave – my slave – and in place of acceptance, offers me only pacts and bargains. Shamed by her pacts, I still take them all gluttonously, because she is mine – my hybrid, my Xiveri mate, Voraxia’s queen and mine to worship.

Taken to Voraxia is a full-length (95k words) SciFi alien romance and book 1 in a 6+ book series. Xiveri Mates books come with a guaranteed HEA. Books 3 and 6 feature Xiveri Mates from outside of the Voraxian constellation, while the rest are best read in sequential order. YES for alpha alien overlords, warrior heroines, fated mates who are also enemies-to-lovers, action and sometimes violence, world-building and extra steamy bits. NO for abuse, dubcon, noncon, cheating, menage, harem or love triangles. Subjugation of human women is an early theme in book 1 and, while it ends spectacularly, may be a trigger for sensitive readers.

But he doesn’t expect to attract the most lethal assassin and a rejected queen to his selection game. I didn’t come to ride the playboy king’s sexy body or be Queen of the Underworld. I promised Lucifer his son’s head on a gold platter.
 
I’ve been damaged in the past and vowed never to let a handsome, powerful man touch me again. Yet when Loki and I lay eyes upon each other, sizzling chemistry burns us. Under his ruthless, bad boy exterior hides another man, one that ignites flames inside my icy chest.

ANGELS/WINGED

EMMA’S READ. 5 STARS.

The angel of death wants me to be his wife.

Most days, I steal from ships to earn a living. Not glamorous, admittedly, but it’s honest work. Okay, fine. It isn’t honest either, but it means I get to eat.
Until one night, a sinfully sexy angel strides into my favorite dance hall and compels me to work for him. It isn’t just work, though. He wants me to be his wife in Castle Hades.
Apparently, his prophetic dreams say I’ll help him become king.

Beautiful as he is, he’s also a lethal tyrant. And I could be in danger. Luckily, I know how to fight back, how to weaken an angel: I must seduce him.
Now, this is a battle, and he’s my beautiful enemy. We are fighting with weapons of desire, and we’re both at risk of losing ourselves in this war.
