Book Review – ‘Til Death by Bella Jewel with gift card giveaway

11/25/2014

Till Death Bella Jewel‘Til Death by Bella Jewel

Slightly Dark Erotic Romance. Part 1 of a 2 Part Series.

anas_attic_book_blurb_bar_01

They say there’s a fine line between love and hate.

There is.

I married a douchebag.

I didn’t know it at the time.

He came in like a handsome stranger and blew me off my feet.

I fell madly in love, like the naive girl I am.

Then he left me high and dry.

Turns out, I was nothing more than a business plan for billionaire playboy, Marcus Tandem.

He needed to be married in order to obtain his grandfathers business, and I was the poor victim in his path.

I believed in what we had, until the truth reared its ugly head.

I never meant anything to Marcus. Not a damned thing.

With my world spinning on its axis, the girl I once was has long since died.

Instead he left me as this empty, emotionless shell.

I may have made a vow before God to love and cherish him ‘Til Death do we part, but it’s time for me to give back to Marcus, exactly what he gave me.

He has to pay.

And pay he will.

*This is part of a two book series and it will contain a HEA – Readers over 18+

anas_attic_book_review_bar

I signed up for this Release blitz a while ago, because I have never read Bella Jewel (despite buying like 5 of her books, I haven’t read them yet), and the cover was so friggen hot. At that time I read a really different synopsis, and decided it looked like a must-read for me. Unfortunately it was a while back, but the blurb has changed, a lot, and I think maybe at the time I signed up it was only supposed to be one book. Well it is a 2 part book, and a HEA is promised…but ‘Til Death left me hanging. I must say though, it ended at a good spot, and the wait may work in the storyline, provided Bella releases part 2 soon. She says to look for it right after the holidays.

Though you pretty much know the gist of the story right from the blurb and prologue, ‘Til Death was still an unputdownable read that I read in two sittings. Those of you who have read Bella’s MC books may recognize Marcus from Anguish, but this is not an MC book, despite the guys from the club making cameos. ‘Til Death is told in alternating points of view, and alternating past and present. Despite a few bumps, it was easy to follow.

Marcus needs to marry within a year, and stay married for 2 years in order to inherit the company he has worked his ass off for his whole life. He is a player, and has no desire for a wife, but he has no choice.

QUOTE MARKLove isn’t for men like me. I don’t have the time or the interest. Love is for the weak. Women are too difficult and I’m too much of an asshole. I don’t hide this fact or pretend to be anything else.”

I loved Katia. She worked hard to take care of her disabled mom, and is barely making ends meet while working long hours. Yet she is always fun and chipper. She is also horny as hell and desperate to get laid.

QUOTE MARKJack and Teddy, my vibrators, have well and truly deserved a break…Why can’t I have a super sexy boss who looks like he’s jumped straight out of heaven? One who takes me on helicopter rides and ties me to beds?
Damn you, Christian Grey for ruining all my future bosses. They’ll never compare…

“You do realize he’s not a real person, right?”
“Take that back,” I hiss. “He’s real to me, and to Jack, and to Teddy.”

On a rare night out with her best friend, Katia meets Marcus, and there is no beating around the bush (well, actually there was plenty! lol)

QUOTE MARKThere are so many things I’ll do to you.”
Oh, boy.
“Starting with tasting those lips.”
Swoon.

Marcus knows Katia’s the one. He is very attracted to her, she’s beautiful, has a stable job but is struggling. It’s easy for him to rationalize in his head that he is ‘helping’ her by making her fall for him.

QUOTE MARKA man like Marcus is dangerous for me. He’ll destroy me. Crush me. Take my life in his hands and twist it until there’s nothing left but a pathetic, dangling string left.”

But Marcus is absolutely beautiful. Tattooed, big and muscled, sexy and controlling. He is a hard package to stay away from. Especially after getting a feel for that package (which is pierced 4 times!)

QUOTE MARKDo you want to come, Katia?”
“I didn’t come for a picnic, “I mutter.
His lip quirks and he leans down, pressing his lips to my ear. There, he whispers, “I very much came for a picnic, and the first thing I’m going to eat, precious, is you.”
Oh. My.

Marcus is may be dangerous, but he’s generous. Katia’s struggles are over. Her mom has a new wheelchair, and Katia can’t help but be pulled into the man’s thrall despite the niggling doubts.

QUOTE MARKI love him in a way that’s toxic. I know it because no matter how much my heart screams that something isn’t right, I can’t stay away.”

Marcus always has a sure way of getting her to forgive him and forget her doubts though.

'Til Death by bell Jewel

Likes:

  • Absolutely unputdownable.
  • Total rollercoaster ride.
  • You want to hate Marcus, but it’s hard, I totally get Katia.
  • I loved Katia, and totally felt for her.
  • Lots of little twists and turns, so even though you know a lot, you don’t expect so much more.
  • Very hot sex. Marcus can make me forgive him too! 😛
  • A fast read, but felt full.
  • Getting both character’s points of view.
  • Very unique story.
  • Though there is a cliff, it ended at a spot that is story dictated.

Dislikes:

  • This was short, less than 200 pages, there is no reason this should be 2 parts unless part 2 is super long. Luckily it will be out right after the holidays, I just hope I remember it by then.
  • The alternating points of view and times were a little choppy at first.

Can be a like or a dislike:

  • If you have read Bella’s other books, you might know Marcus and the guys from the MC club, so you will love this. I haven’t read these books, and I felt like I missed a little ‘getting to know you’ on Marcus.

Rating: 4.25 stars, 4.5 Heat (As one book, I think this rating will be a lot higher. I think reading it straight through may lead to closer to 5 stars)

The Down & Dirty

Though ‘Til Death left me hanging for book 2 of 2, luckily it ended at a story-dictated part. Filled with sexy times and a likable heroine, ‘Til Death was a read-in-one-sitting read, because I couldn’t put it down. Despite knowing a lot of what will happen from the prologue, the story is intriguing and exciting, and I’m holding my breath waiting for book 2. Fan’s of Bella’s other books will like the cameos from her other books.

“Note to self: When you’re lucky enough to sit “Note to self: When you’re lucky enough to sit next to a very attractive woman on a long bus ride, maybe don’t bring up your mother so much, and probably don’t give an extremely detailed overview of why you’re a bad date.”

The first two books in this series by @carabastone were at the top of my 2021 Favorite list. Seatmate will be on the list for 2022. This made-for-audio book is best experienced with headphones. I really felt like I was eavesdropping on a real conversation, and it just made Seatmate by Cara Bastone another 5 star favorite.

Much Ado About You by Samantha Young is a booklove Much Ado About You by Samantha Young is a booklover’s fantasy romance. It was light, a little cheesy and predictable, but I still enjoyed listening to every word. Samantha did a fabulous job of transporting us to this little English town and falling for the townspeople and the bookstore. If you’re looking for a light and easy read that will keep you smiling, I think this would be a good one.

“You may think you’re dark,” I told him. “ “You may think you’re dark,” I told him. “And I’m finding you are. Dark like this.” I indicated the room with a sweep of my flute. “Edged in gossamer and crystal. Lit with fire. A beautiful cocoon where I feel safe, truly safe, for the first time in my life.”

Though it took me a long time to finally try, The Fantasyland Series by Kristen Ashley is one of my all-time favorite series. So I can’t tell you how excited I was to hear that Kit wrote another book in the series! I think Gossamer in the Darkness by @kristenashleybooks is enough to pull in the last holdouts who think they don’t want to read fantasy.

When I was 37, my 7 year old begged me daily for a When I was 37, my 7 year old begged me daily for a little brother (or sister). We obliged, but because of my age and I had lupus, the pregnancy was high-risk. At 17 weeks I had an amniocentesis. 2 weeks later we got the devastating news that our baby, the sibling my son was begging for, had some major genetic abnormalities, plus heart problems. If she survived the birth she would need multiple surgeries & would likely never leave the hospital. 

We made the most devastating decision to end the pregnancy. The baby we made FOR my son would just crush him. It would take me away from him. He would watch her suffer and be in pain. And how would we pay for it all?

Four months after, I became pregnant again with my wonderful son who is now 16.  Despite 8 years difference, he and his brother are best friends. They have both had a great life with a mom who was fully present for both of them.

I thank Roe v Wade every day that I was able to make that CHOICE. It was the most devastating, horrible decision we ever had to make. But it was the RIGHT CHOICE, both for that baby & my family. Plus, my son wouldn’t be here today if I hadn’t made that CHOICE. These decisions are NEVER easy. They are deeply personal and usually horrific. 

Until the government can pay to keep all these babies fed, clothed and homed. Until they can pay for medical bills and the parents to leave work, until they can provide for the needs of the babies women are forced to have, they need to stay out of our bodies. I’m scared for the future of all of our rights.

“Oh, I’ll give you hot flashes.”

Nobody else but Tara Sivec can make me literally laugh out loud and bawl my eyes out at the same time. I look for books with older couples, so I’ve read a good number of them, but this portrayal actually felt the most real of any to me.
With This Flirt by @authortarasivec is my first 5++ star book of 2022!

If you are a fan of Cat and Bones, or you just want to start a new series, I 100% recommend The Other Half of the Grave by Jeaniene Frost.

It was SO GREAT going back to Kristen Ashley’s F It was SO GREAT going back to Kristen Ashley’s Fantasyland world again! I tried to read as slow as possible because I just didn’t want to leave. Though the whole Fantasyland series is best read in order, Gossamer in the Darkness easily stands alone. You don’t have to like fantasy or regency to love this, you just have to love romance. I am so happy to have this as a new addition to one of my favorite series, and now I may have to go and listen to the entire series again.

@catherinecowlesauthor has a way of blending steamy romance, angst, suspense, family, found family, friendship, kids, and a whodunnit into something completely unique and special. Falling Embers may be my favorite yet.
