Life / Sweet Temptation: Pestilence (The Four Horsemen #1) by Laura Thalassa

 
Sweet Temptation is a feature on Wickedly Delicious Book Blog. That centers around books that have caught my attention. Whether it be a quote, snippet, teaser, excerpt, synopsis or a review.

Pestilence by Laura Thalassa
Series: The Four Horsemen #1
Genre: Fantasy
Publisher: Author (March 20, 2018)
Pages: 383
Format: Kindle
 
They came to earth—Pestilence, War, Famine, Death—four horsemen riding their screaming steeds, racing to the corners of the world. Four horsemen with the power to destroy all of humanity. They came to earth, and they came to end us all.

When Pestilence comes for Sara Burn’s town, one thing is certain: everyone she knows and loves is marked for death. Unless, of course, the angelic-looking horseman is stopped, which is exactly what Sara has in mind when she shoots the unholy beast off his steed.

Too bad no one told her Pestilence can’t be killed.

Now the horseman, very much alive and very pissed off, has taken her prisoner, and he’s eager to make her suffer. Only, the longer she’s with him, the more uncertain she is about his true feelings towards her … and hers towards him.

And now, well, Sara might still be able to save the world, but in order to do so, she'll have to sacrifice her heart in the process.
  

Thoughts: Pestilence with its many great reviews has been recommended to me on Goodreads three times. About time I added it to my Sweet Temptation Feature.

Have you read this book or author?

Life: Sorry all I have been MIA here and there last few weeks. Work and family life has been busy. Been trying to write a review and it is just not happening. Hopefully after this weekend everything will be calm down.

Lot of family time with the grandkids and enjoying every minute. Hope you all have been having a beautiful week.

Life: Hello. Hope you all had a beautiful week. Celebrated another birthday Sunday this time for my grandson. Can not believe he is going to be 5 on May 8. He was not sure if wanted Bounce House party or Bowling party. He chose bowling. We should of went with The Bounce House. 5 years olds and bowling a little crazy. He had a so much fun with his friends so that is all that matters.  
 
Been busy with work and at home and finally getting a little bit better with my cough. Not a lot of posting going on with the blog or visiting. Last few weeks have been exhausting. Hopefully within the next few weeks I can get caught up with everything.
 
Bought: Found a freebie. Enjoyed the 1st book in Alyssa Days Warriors of Poseidon series. Now she has a spin off Poseidon's Warriors with novellas.

FREE!! FREE!! FREE!!

Series: Poseidon's Warriors #1
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Pages: 145
Format: Kindle
 
 
When black sheep Flynn returns to Atlantis after more than a decade away, he discovers that his brothers thought he was dead and moved on with their lives.  But before he can wrap his brain around that problem, Poseidon himself taps Flynn to be one of a new generation of elite warriors.  Now he only has to: learn how to be part of a team, rescue a group of kidnapped girls from the Hell’s Dark Angels motorcycle gang, and try to understand why a certain redhaired bartender with an affinity for animals is driving him mad…
 
Eva Calandar needs to run.  Again.  Her ex-boyfriend, a black magic practitioner, has tracked her down.  Again.  But she might be the key to rescuing a group of girls from becoming human sacrifices, and there’s a certain astonishingly hot Atlantean warrior with a fierce protective instinct who is making her think longing thoughts of finally making a stand.
 
Together, they’re so much stronger than they were apart, but the heat between them may be enough to burn down the world.
 
No matter what the temperature is in January . . . in Atlantis.
Have a beautiful week

Back From The Backlog: Reckless (Shattered Sisters #1) by Maggie Shayne

 
Books from the Backlog is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your bookshelf unread. Hosted weekly by Carole's Random Life In Books.


Reckless by Maggie Shayne
Series: Shattered Sisters #1
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Publisher: Thunderfoot Publishing (February 20, 2016)
Pages: 270
Format: Kindle
Source: Bought / FREE

Toni del Rio specialized in turning real-life crime into bestselling fiction, and she was aware that danger came with the territory. This time, however, she was in over her head. While researching the New York underworld for her latest book, she'd witnessed a mob hit. Now a thug was pointing a gun at her in a shadowy alley, and she knew she was a goner....

Undercover FBI agent Nick Manelli wasn't about to kill anyone, but if he didn't hide the woman immediately, they would both be dead. So he brought her to the only haven he knew — his place.

Alone with Nick in close quarters, Toni couldn't help fantasizing about her rugged captor — and the desire, she soon discovered, was mutual...
  

Thoughts: Last week got an email for books on sale by Booksbub and Reckless was one of them. Liked the synopsis went to go buy on Amazon and guess what I already owned it. LOL. I knew I had a few books by Maggie Shayne but did not realize I already had this. Might be next read when in the mood for an Romantic Suspense. Really should bump this up to read since I clearly am trying to get it again. Maybe it is a sign to read me now.
 
Book was free when first got it in 2016. Still FREE at time of post.
