Still Beating Book Review

4 Stars!

After reading this book, I had to take a few days to digest, ponder, and really hash out my feelings on this one.

Cora has known Dean for fifteen years. He's engaged to her sister and anytime they are together either he's playing a prank on her or she's retaliating with her own or sarcasm, but when they are thrown into a horrific situation, they suddenly find themselves clinging to each other as a lifeline.

Dean and Cora's story is tragic and heartbreaking. I cried for them. rooted for them, and I fell in love with them. Dean is absolutely amazing. He's strong, resilient, brave, selfless, but still flawed and scared by what happened.

Cora is shattered. Her soul is wounded and she loses who she is and the ability to stand on her own two feet without Dean.

This is not my usual read. Was their steam? Yes. Some. Dean was everything. But it was also tragic and horrific, heartbreaking and beautiful. It runs the gambit of emotions. I highly recommend this book, but PLEASE check triggers. This isn't your momma's fluffy, sweet romance. What happens to these two is beyond imagining.

This Series is a MindF*ck for sure!

Okay, this review is for the entire series!

Lana is a serial killer created by the tragedy of her past with a clear obsession for revenge. Logan is an FBI profiler hot on a serial killer's tale (hers although he has no idea)

The two happen to meet by chance and instant chemistry. She realizes he's an FBI agent and should steer clear but she breaks all the rules to be with him while still secretly carrying out her objective.

I loved Lana. And even though she was a brutal killer, enjoyed torturing her victims, because of her past you kinda understood why. (I never would in real life but that's what makes fiction so great)

The twists and turns, the action, the love that builds between Lana and Logan is beautiful, steamy, and suspenseful. The intricate nature of her revenge is phenomenal and well-executed. I loved this entire series and can't recommend it enough.

This is a Dark Romance so please check your trigger warnings before going in.

FATAL STORM IS LIVE!

I’m so thrilled to announce the launch of FATAL STORM, book 5 in the Storm series! King Darath and Priestess Kleora’s epic journey will have you glued to your seat. This fast-paced, high adventure story, filled with demons, monsters, knife play, and sex scenes, sizzles off the page.

If things like violence, blood and gore, references to rape, consensual BDSM play with explicit sexual scenes, graphic language, Lucifer, and demons are triggers for you, then move along; this is NOT the book for you. In fact, my entire Storm series is NOT for you.

BUT... if you’re like me and enjoy spicy, paranormal romance with possessive, dominant Alpha males and kick-ass females with attitude, then dive right in, my friend, and happy reading!

He snatched her soul. She stole his heart.

“Being dead sucks.”

​​When the very Devil snatched Kleora Tanagra’s soul from eternal peace in heaven and imprisoned her in Hell, the land nymph ruler vowed vengeance, despite how his exquisite touch awakened her flesh and set her heart on fire.

​

“I am Satan. No force on earth can kill me. However, my enraged captive is giving it her best shot.”

​​Jagorach Darath, the original fallen angel, refuses to regret his decision to steal Kleora’s soul. But time is running out to discover a way to restore her life before the land nymphs declare war on the immortal world, and while he enjoys teaching his little peach the consequences of defying the Devil, if he loses her for good, the world will suffer his eternal wrath.

FREE Storm Series Prequel is LIVE!

I'm so excited to share this novella. Forsaken Storm is about Nicole's tumultuous life on the run before Forgotten Storm (Storm Series Book 1) and it showcases her and Logan's powerful connection and his unwavering devotion to her.

So, if you haven't ventured into the steamy paranormal romance world of the Storm series yet, what better way to whet your appetite than with a FREE novella? The links for the various retailers are on my website or click on the gorgeous cover in this post.

Happy reading and if you love it, please, please write a review. It means so much to me and lets me know there are peeps out there who appreciate and love all my hard work. ~A.R. Vagnetti

May Was Insane!

Hello, my lovely Stormsters!

I want to take a moment to share the ups and downs of the past month with you. My hubby and I were scheduled to hit the road on May 16th for our summer home in Michigan with a quick stopover at Devils Lake, ND for some walleye fishing.

The night before we were set to leave, my husband wakes up at 3 am with severe abdominal pain. By 5 am I'm rushing him to the ER. Eight long exhausting and painful hours later (for my hubby) they discovered three new stowaways. Kidney Stones! Two in the kidneys and one in the ureter. That last little sucker was the one causing all the problems.

He was hospitalized, per the recommendation of his doctor, with IVs and meds to hopefully pass the wicked bugger. With no movement after four days, they went in with a scope, blasted it apart, and placed a stint from his kidney to his bladder. WHAT!?!?

As some of you may know, I was a veterinary technician for almost 20 years. I can perform shit on animals all day long. Hand me a human issue and my skin crawls with the heeby jeebies. So when the doc informed us, he wanted hubby to keep the stint in—WHILE WE TRAVELED—and once in Michigan he and I could pull it out. I was like WTF?

My husband, knowing me, just smirked and informed the doc it wasn't a problem. Well. Little does the man know, I ain't about to help him pull that sucker, he is sooooo on his own. (unless he has a problem, then I will, of course, suck it up and assist, but I won't like it and he will owe me. BIG TIME)

So, needless to say, Devil's Lake is out and we are heading straight for Michigan, with numerous pee pee breaks for the man with the... stint in his... you know where. Wish us luck!

Fractured Storm Teaser!

The launch for Fractured Storm (Storm Series Book 4) is May 4th, and during the pre-order window, I'm offering FS4 for only $2.99! But let's sweeten the pot, titillate your senses, and warm your nether regions with a little snippet from Fractured Storm. Enjoy!

After tossing my sweater on the couch, I shimmy enticingly out of my jeans. The vivid blue bra and thong reminded me of the beast’s hypnotic irises, and I procured the set instantly.

A muscle pulses in his jaw. His spectacular body is tense with the need to devour me. Just taking this measure of control over such a vibrant creature is beyond anything I imagined. The thrill fuels my appetite.

I drift toward him, grazing my fingernails along his impressive length. It twitches in response, soliciting more of my touch, but I move away and brush past him. Liam inhales deep, and his rough growl has me biting my cheek to keep from grinning like an overeager fool.

The high-top dining table rests in front of the U-shaped kitchen that looks out over the lovely sparkling bay. I nudge the armchair back from the head of the polished wood surface and hop up on the edge, my toes on the seat. King Scott watches me with such blazing intensity; it’s practically a caress.

Perched on the threshold, I shove my dense hair off my nape and secure it in a messy bun with the elastic band from around my wrist. I reach behind and unclasp my bra, letting it slip down my arms with excruciating slowness. A rumble fills the great room.

“Come to me, Liam.” He doesn’t falter, approaching me in two strides. “Sit,” I command, hoisting a leg so he can slide into the chair in front of me.

When he’s settled between my open thighs, I bend forward and capture his lips in a feverish kiss. He angles his head, thrusts his tongue inside to duel with mine, and I suck it deep. He groans, straining toward me in his seat. The ropes creak as his muscles bunch

against the bindings.

I lean back, our panting breaths loud in the silent house. The intense chocolate irises devour my breasts, trail down my stomach before stalling on the soaked lace covering my sex. He licks his lips, and I nearly combust. Need to get these panties off and experience that mouth. I relished the beast lapping at my core before. Now, I demand the male.

I work the delicate thong over my hips, plant my toes on his hard thighs, utilizing them as leverage to lift my butt enough to shove the cloth down my legs. When I reach my knees, I raise them straight up in the air to thrust the material up over my ankles and feet, giving

him a bird’s-eye view of my wet core aching for him.

“Fuck.” His groan is absolute need. I cherish the tone. My toes drop back on top of his tense thighs, and I scoot to the edge of the table, spreading them wide.

“Not another word unless I demand an answer, Liam,” I warn sternly. His gaze snaps to mine. “Do you understand?”

“Yes.”

I grin. “Do you long to taste me, my king?”

“God, yes.” The desperate rumble sends butterflies skittering through my tummy.

I clasp the back of his skull and drag him toward my aching breasts. “Soon, but first, these need your attention.” In a millisecond, his mouth locks on a throbbing nipple, causing my head to dip back as sharp pleasure skyrockets from his suckling lips straight to my clit. “Oh, yes.”

When he lightly bites down, it’s like an electrical current surging through every nerve, lighting me up from the inside. He turns to the other without direction, providing it equal consideration. A tightness builds in my core. I’ve read about women who can orgasm from this, and I wonder if I could be one of them. The sensations spiraling from my nipples to my sex and back again are extraordinary.

“Enough,” I pant, letting go of his nape but not pushing him from me. A battle wages inside my mate. It’s evident in his expressive regard glaring at me. I wait with bated breath to determine if he will comply with my demand or break his bonds and have his way. As

tremendous as I suspect the sex would be, disappointment would darken the experience.

Liam eases away, and relief washes over me. It’s strange, but the defiant fire in his eyes pleases me as much as his obedience.

I shimmy closer to the edge of the table and spread my thighs wider. His restless gaze falls to my bare, glistening folds, and I lean back on my elbows. My extremities tremble with increasing need.

“Are you hungry, mate?”

The irises flicker blue. “Starving.” Bulky muscles tug against the stiff bonds, digging the rope deeper into his shoulders.

“One lick only,” I instruct.

Liam eases forward, his gaze locked with mine. I sense his savage intent and willful disobedience a split second before my king sets in with abandonment.

"Reviewed By Maureen Dangarembizi for Readers' Favorite

Forbidden Storm by A. R. Vagnetti is a paranormal fantasy romance. Lucretia Bramen is a vampire warrior, one of Queen Nicole's elite Guardians. It is her job to protect the new monarch as well as to protect humans from unruly immortals. Lucretia has found her true mate and it is none other than the deliciously handsome shifter alpha Kurtis Ruse. Generally, finding one's mate would be a thing of joy except that different immortal species are not allowed to mate or, even worse, procreate. Things are made complicated when the attraction between them burns hotter than ever. Lucretia must avoid Kurtis or court disaster. Unfortunately, Kurtis has other ideas, and staying away isn’t one of them.

A. R. Vagnetti creates an interesting supernatural world and weaves a story that draws the reader in from the start. The laws of the supernaturals are a big part of the conflict our hero and heroine face. How can Lucretia ignore her one true mate knowing there will never be anyone like him in her life? Would she be willing to die for love? It’s really exciting when the stakes in a love affair are so high as is the case in Forbidden Storm. I loved the heroine because she was a strong character who had very hard decisions to make. There is nothing like hard-won love to whet the appetite of a romance fan. The hero knew what he wanted and didn’t let anything stand in his way. There are elements of BDSM and rape triggers. For anyone who enjoyed Underworld, I recommend you give this book a try. I promise you won’t be disappointed."
