The price of survival…

Gabriel Miller swept into my life like a storm. He tore down my father with cold retribution, leaving him penniless in a hospital bed. I quit my private all-girl’s college to take care of the only family I have left.

There’s one way to save our house, one thing I have left of value.

My virginity.

A forbidden auction…

Gabriel appears at every turn. He seems to take pleasure in watching me fall. Other times he’s the only kindness in a brutal underworld.

Except he's playing a deeper game than I know. Every move brings us together, every secret rips us apart. And when the final piece is played, only one of us can be left standing.

THE PAWN is a full-length contemporary novel from New York Times bestselling author Skye Warren about revenge and seduction in the game of love.

Sophie's Review

Okay, I must say I'm the sweet of the SnS reads, I'm not gonna lie. But I was desperate to read this book since, like, forever. I knew this wasn't going to be sweet at all, but I'm surprised I liked it!

So, here we have a dark world with powerful and dangerous men and this sweet little girl fragile in pieces willing to do whatever to save her father and her mother's house. After her family's name was repudiated by everyone, she doesn't have anyone by her side.

She gets into this dark world and learns not everyone is as noble, perfect and honest as she thought at the very beginning. So, Avery must learn how to play or at least see what is coming next.

Innocence and fragility and grace."

I liked Avery, the heroine, even though I didn't agree with half of the decision she made. She was intelligent but naïve. Loyal but desperate. Beautiful but she didn't know how to use her "assets" as everyone.

You're fucking perfect. An angel. A sacrifice on a marble altar."

She bored me at times and was predictable. I knew what was coming and what she was going to do. But I liked she had to get to her feet by herself. I liked that the hero wasn't EVERYWHERE saving her.

Now...

Gabriel Miller. He frustrated me so much. At first, I was like "Oh, he is dark, handsome, those eyes are killing me and he knows how to use his power to make everyone do whatever he wants".

But he deflated throughout the book.

He was confusing and I couldn't connect with him like I would've liked. He annoyed me with his sudden change of moods. Somehow he felt distant to me. He didn't quite get to me and for that reason, I didn't like him. Sorry.

The secondary characters, such as Harper, Avery's father, Damon, Cindy, Justin, I liked them but I'd have liked to see more of their personalities.

In overall, I liked the story. YAY! This was the first book I've read from Skye Warren and I LOVED her writing and the fact that she included mythology and history here. It was exquisite and rich. Totally worth it!

So, yeah. I'm already reading the second book and will do the review for The Knight as soon as I finish it!

BY THE WAY!! This review wouldn't look as flawless and more beautiful than me if it weren't for Emily. I luuv you!! Thanks for making this world better with those badass graphics <3

Review: Muscle Memory by Stylo (Emily's review)

Title: Muscle Memory

Author: Stylo Fantôme

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Available NOW!

Available on KU

BLURB

Her lips, the way she feels, how she moves against me. Her voice when she laughs, her eyes when she cries. Her soul connected to mine, for better or for worse, for all eternity.

I don't remember.

A blank face. Unrecognizable. The darkness and impenetrable fog, day after day after day. Who am I? And for that matter, who is she?

I can't remember.

Two sides to the same coin – one wants to remember, and the other wants to stay forgotten. Which side will win? Can he trust his heart to bring him back to her? Or will she stay lost in the fog forever?

I might never remember.

Warning: features adult themes

EMILY'S REVIEW

Oh, sweet baby Jesus, where to start here?

Stylo Fantome is one of my favorite authors and she did not disappoint me with this book.

I fucking loved this book!

It was so different from any other book I've read. And I always love innovation. From the story to the male POV.

You guys, it's not so common a complete male POV in a book. *claps*

The first part of the book touched my very soul so damn much. Delaney and Jay's past. Those chapters were everything!! Personally, I felt their love so raw and pure. My heart was aching.

On the other hand, Jon's present got me biting my nails. I had so many questions. When? Why? Where?

I absolutely loved Delaney. She was a free soul. I felt so sorry for her because she was going through an EXTREMELY difficult situation and she dealt with it like a goddess. I admire her strength and love.

I completely LOVED Jay. I mean, Jay from the past. I felt how hard he loved and even when he didn't have anything, he felt like he had everything he may need. Agh. *wipes a tear*

I felt annoyed and amazed by Jon. I wanted to get in the book and kill him. Well, shake him a bit. He was indecisive and yeah, I get it. ButGOSH, I was confused and pissed by some decisions he made. But still felt sorry for him.

I fucking hated Kitty. But surprisingly, I liked the role she played at first. By the end, I thought she was a complete crazy bitch.

And oh, Sloany. I LOVED HER!!! She was the coherent and rational one here. Thank God.

I won't lie. THIS BOOK MADE ME CRY. And If you want a good and different book, you should totally read this and tell us what you think!
