MY REVIEW

Welcome To Suburbia. Pride: Kneel Before None by Sadie Winchester is the first book in the Infernal Virtures series that cover the Seven Deadly Sins. If all the rest of the stories are as good as Pride, I hope to get a chance to read them all. Each story is written by a different author.

Pride is a dark paranormal romance and I do love walking on the dark side. Ace is a demon casino owner. Eve is a precognitive and Ace has foreseen her appearance, so when she walked in the casino, he knew she would be his. Eve had come to his casino to save her brother. She felt confident she could win the blackjack tournament and hoped to buy his freedom with the winnings.

The romance is steamy. I expected that and much of the book was what I expected and hoped for, drawing me in from the opening pages. I enjoy the enemies to lovers dance. There are enough twists and turns to keep me on my toes and whets my appetite for the next book in the series, Envy by B J Wolff.

My thanks go out to Sadie Winchester for the opportunity to read Pride, and the introduction to the Infernal Virtues series.

GOODREADS BLURB

Welcome to Superbia. A city where sins are celebrated as virtues, and monsters no longer hide in the shadows. All manner of creatures revel in the pride of their true natures beneath neon lights.

EVE
Did you know the odds of beating the house are one hundred to zero when you’re the hottest precognitive since… well, ever?
I did.
Every gamble was mine to win until I walked into Sevenfold Casino.
That was my first mistake.
My second? Underestimating Ace Reynard, its arrogant owner.
Ace wasn’t just a demon I hadn’t seen coming, he was the blind spot I never knew existed.
All I wanted was enough money to buy my brother’s freedom.
Instead, I wagered far more, putting my body and my life at Ace’s mercy.
Until he cracked the mirror I’d spent my entire life believing reflected only me.

ACE
Knights of Hell aren’t known for patience.
I waited anyway.
For more than two years, I watched the future unfold one vision at a time, knowing my Little Spade would eventually walk through the doors of Sevenfold Casino.
She wasn’t just another pretty face.
My power recognized hers long before we met, and every instinct I possessed demanded that I claim what fate had already promised was mine.
What I didn’t expect was for destiny to be holding cards of its own.
Fate brought her to my table.
I simply made sure the house always won.

MY REVIEW

I will start off by saying that Caged In Desire by Sadie Winchester is recommended for those eighteen and over. When you read the sexy scenes, you will know why.

Caged In Desire by Sadie Winchester is a story about gods and godesses and I loved it. It has a very pretty cover. We meet Charlee Amoretti, who is better known as Cupid. It’s Valentine’s Day, so she is happily delivering the Double Tap, where two hearts will beat as one. She knows it will never happen for her…When she meets a grouchy Eryx Nightvale, the God of Discord, both their lives will be changed forever.

The story may be a quick read, but it is full of love and laughs. That twist at the end…I love it! Makes me want more of Sadie Winchester’s world of gods and godesses.

GOODREADS BLURB

Born among the gods and bound for eternity as a matchmaker to the mortals, my life has been dedicated to pairing hearts and souls. But these powers come at a high cost. By bonding couples together, I’ve been robbed of having that same connection with another.

Valentine’s Day has come around, as it always does, filling people with a deep desire to find true love. And just when I think this will be another successful year, I find myself on the doorstep of a man whose heart and life have been cast in darkness.

Eryx Nightvale isn’t just any man—he’s the god of discord, everything I’m not, and he’s determined to break everything I represent.

Now I’m caged, my heart and body trapped behind bars. Will I be able to charm my captor into opening the lock keeping me prisoner? Or will we both be lost to the shattered remains of our own making?
