Smashwords book reviews by Marina Marinova

Wild Attraction (A Wild Prequel) on Aug. 14, 2014

Wow, that was hot!!! I love Emma Hart and her books so it wasn't a though decision whether to read this one or not. Especially after The Call series. And this prequel novella definitely didn't disappoint. It is so hot and steamy that it could easily melt your panties and it definitely got me craving getting my hands on the first book in the series. So if you liked The Call series you should definitely check this short read and get ready for Wild Temptation when it gets out ;) Definitely a recommended read :)
The Devil's Lair (Book 4.5 of The Back-Up Series) on Dec. 16, 2014

The Back-up series is one of my all time favorite series and I was extremely happy when A.M. Madden announced that she is writing a novella bout Devil's Lair and their European Tour :) Thankfully, I got the chance to beta read the story so I had it in my hands a tad earlier than the release day ;) I definitely wasn't disappointed. It was great to meet all the characters again and getting to see how married life with kids treats Jack and Leila. At the same time, the story is heartbreaking as another challenge faces Devil's Lair and their families. The first part of the book completely shredded my heart to pieces. The story told, was so excruciating that I was crying like a baby on more than one occasion. I don't think I can find the right words to express how touching it was. The story is mainly told in Jack's POV but we also get Hunter's this time. He was definitely an interesting character. I loved that I got to see him in a different light: a little bit more insecure, a little bit more serious. He gets few unexpected surprises and it was interesting to read how he deals with them and finds the confidence he needs to deal and accept the changes in his life :) The brief glimpses in Leila's POV made the story even better and it also showed how compassionate she is. Made her even more lovable as a character. The situation with which DL had to deal with was really devastating and it showed the band in a completely different light. I have to admit that I even started to like Jen and I was never a fan of hers ;) As a whole I would say that the story is amazing, as everything else written by A.M. Madden :) I definitely loved this glimpse in DL's lives after they all got their HEA and I really hope that there will be another short story about them at some point :)
