“There was a monster once. A monster who bought me, controlled me, and took away my freedom.

There was a man once. A man who dealt in myth and secrets, hiding behind his mask, making me hunger and wish to know the truth.”

Eleanor Grace belongs to the man and the monster, hating them both but unable to deny that something links them. Something she doesn’t want to feel, something that traps her as surely as the sea surrounding the island where she serves.

Sully Sinclair belongs to his past and the black and white script his life has become. He views his goddesses as commodities—possessions to be treated kindly but firmly. The only problem is…Eleanor is different.

She’s jinxed him.

Cursed him.

Awakened him.

She’s a goddess with the power to ruin him.

Review: A Plump of Woodcocks by Suanne Laqueur

Title: A Plump of Woodcocks
Author: Suanne Laqueur
Publication: Expected publication: February 14th 2020
Genre: Romance, MM Romance, LGBT
Purchase it on: Amazon
Rating: 4/5★

So this is another f**ktn of gratuitous boning with the Venery boys.

That’s it, that’s the blurb. If you’re new here, you’ve been warned. This is pure, shameless fluff. It doesn’t fit anywhere or take the place of anything in the Venery novels. It just is what it is.

The bathroom was steamy and dark, a lit candle on the edge of the sink. Jav lolled in the tub, his hair slicked back. Stef brought in more candles and poured out two shots of rum to chug, then more generous tots to sip. He sat on the bathmat and read out loud. Jav rested an arm on the ledge of the tub, cheek on his bicep, damp fingers playing with a fold of Stef’s shirt. The walls of the little room drew close. Even the fixtures seemed to lean on their elbows and listen.

“This is nice,” Jav said softly, drawing up Stef’s neck and behind his ear.

For people who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they will like. Contains adults being nice to each other in adult situations using adult language.

Another fuckton of gratuitous boning with the Venery boys is not something I'd say no too. So yeah I practically jumped on the chance to read and review A Plump of Woodcocks. This book a compilation of deleted scenes that didn't make it in the books and I couldn't have loved it all more.

Everything I read in this book, literally every scene made me want to fan myself. But I also gotta say it wasn't just smutty scenes, although let's be fair there wouldn't be anything wrong with it if it was just that. But the scenes also had emotion and love and just made my heart ache and burst.

All the extra and deleted scenes were delicious and the dirty talk was sexy as hell. I just love Jude & Tej and Stef & Jav so damn much. I don't think I could ever get sick of reading about them. It's just not possible. If you haven't started the Venery series by Suanne Laqueur yet then I would highly suggest you do so as soon as possible because it's one of my favorite series and I just can't stop fangirling about it. Seriously go read it.

Release Promotion: Once a Myth by Pepper Winters + Giveaway

You can read my review of Once a Myth here

♦ ♦ ♦

“There was a boy once. A boy who wasn’t strong enough to save me when I was taken.”

“There was a girl once. A girl called Tess Snow who sat with me in the dark waiting to be sold.”

“There was an owner once. An owner who bought me, entrapped me, and made me his unwilling goddess.”

Eleanor Grace is a naïve dreamer. Trusting and young, she believes her book-loving boyfriend can save her when her freedom is snatched and sold. Squirreled away to an island at midnight, delivered to a man even darkness won’t touch, she’s bound by a contract.

Five men.

Five fantasies.

Five pieces of her soul.

Sullivan Sinclair is the giver of fantasies. Any wish, any desire—he is the master at quenching even the filthiest appetites. His private paradise and perfectly trained goddesses are there for one purpose: to ensure every guest is extremely well satisfied.

He bought her.

He trapped her.

She belongs to him.

“You’re saying you’re a loss?”

“I’m saying I’ll cause you untold problems if you keep me here.” I narrowed my eyes. “I’m not afraid of you.”

He stepped toward me quickly, crowding me, bringing naked, masculine flesh and scorching body heat.

I backpedalled, losing ground, hating myself the second I tripped.

He laughed coldly. “Not afraid? I think you’re fucking petrified.”

Digging my toes into the sand, I cocked my chin. “I meant what I said, Sully Sinclair. Keep me trapped against my consent and I will make you pay. I’ll find some way to curse—”

“Curse me?” His arm shot up, his hand sinking into my hair. In a single heartbeat, we went from apart to linked. His fingers curled tight around the strands, tugging my scalp, sending more chills scattering. “You’ve already cursed me. You cursed me the second you arrived.”

I tried to pull away, but his hold turned aggressive.

“Let me go.”

His eyes flashed navy in the darkness as his tongue ran over his bottom lip. “Let you go? I should, shouldn’t I?” His stare landed on my mouth, and lust became a sapphire fire in his gaze. “Too bad I’m not going to.”
