review 1: Great novelette. I felt completely immersed in the sci-fi world immediately, with different planets and life forms, as well as advanced technology. The main character Kyle was gritty and grimly determined. He was in a financial bind after being injured in a conflict, with paralyz...

review 1: The Dark Soul (quintet?) is deliciously dark, morally ambiguous to the max, and written so very, very well. *SPOILERS*: Killers who get off on pain? Husbands who cheat on their wives? Cannot tolerate incest in your books? By the time each of those bumps in the road gets hit, you’...

review 1: Yow-za! Fantastically erotic and violent beginning in this installment. 3 books down now an the torchered hero/assassin still has not seduced the mob boss into bed. The horny bastard has done it to everyone else though! And what a "ride" that was. Looks like I got my requested...

review 1: this was super impossible to stop reading. i did find the characterisations a little all over the place at times, and hard to pinpoint-- couldn't really get a general picture of them outside of their interactions with each other. although i guess that's part of the setting and ci...

review 1: Haunting and beautiful--I think this one will stay with me a while. Partly because it's so different than what I usually read, but mostly because of Felix. I connected with him from the start, and with Baldur through him. When I reached the end on the train a little while ago I t...

review 1: Absolutely adored this anthology. How often can you say that? Sometimes, if you are lucky, you may get 1 or 2 good ones, the rest? easily forgotten! Not this one, every story brought something to the table and I feasted on them like I hadn't eaten for days - gluttonosly! The...

review 1: WOW! I read Scorpion several years ago and deeply loved it... I was under the impression that it was to be a stand alone novel. When I saw on Twitter that Aleksandr was working on sequels, I was a very happy girl! I read the updated version of Scorpion not too long ago, and have ...

review 1: I have read about Silvio into a book by K.A. Merikan and I was just curious of him, but the novel by Aleksandr Voinov surprised me in many way and all pleasant. Though I don't like the serial form , Dark soul worked for me, so as the story divided in parts. Make all more fast, dy...

review 1: This book is a little hard to rate only because the first say 6-7 chapters I really enjoyed. It was dark and twisted, lots of actions and was the start of some great world building. Unfortunately, the last 12-13 chapters were so repetitive that I found myself skimming through a l...

review 1: I have read all three books, three times, and am starting on them for the fourth time. I will summarize my feelings by saying Soldiers (Director's Cut) and the first part of Mercenaries are brutal in so many ways, but they build up to a love that makes most other romances seem b...

review 1: Mostly sex. Some good ideas and worth reading, just not a favorite. Not enough showing in the story.This book is one chapter in a story. You need to read all five books to get the complete story. Below is my review for the complete story, not just this chapter.I like the unus...

review 1: Great beginning. Frustrating middle. Ending was worth it. I still don't care for Jean. I am pretty sure Vadim is my favorite of the couple. I like Hooch too and am looking forward to his and Matt's story... when I get to it that is. I still have to finish this series plus the 1/2...

review 1: Perhaps it was at an over-sizing of the expectations, but this volume was pretty disappointing, this episode of the story generated nothing to me.In the whole series I come to find that there's a great asepsy in the narrative, perhaps the intention is highlighting even more the r...

review 1: This story is fantastic. It is set in an alternate universe where slavery still exists, in contemporary London. Brooklyn is a 27 y/o slave sold to a boxing consortium, and he's burning up the heavyweight division. Brooklyn hasn't always been a slave. He was born a freeman, and wa...

review 1: Oh. My. Goodness... What an amazing story! I can't say it enough. I was captivated from the very first book in this series. Hands down, this was the most powerful story I've ever read in my life. I am so thankful that I stumbled upon these books and I am afraid that they have rui...

review 1: This week I read “The Lion of Kent” by Aleksandr Voinov and Kate Cotoner and am I’m glad I did. I ended up reading the book twice in three days! Even after reading it two times though, I still didn’t get that the title referred to William Raven not Robert de Cantilou as the lion ...

review 1: An entertaining blend of futuristic clash of cultures, romance and intrigue. The author's blurb at the front of the book noted that the concept for this story was dragged into the future. It is obvious that the story draws on the Soviet's unsuccessful invasion of Afghanistan in e...

review 1: Nice fantasy about a member of a small band of soldiers who get embroiled in a battle between city states. Great world building's essential to any fantasy, and this one delivers nicely, with cultural and religious references that are rich and detailed. I like the main character a...

review 1: La primera mitad del libro ha estado bien, pero el final? Por favor, parece que le metieron prisa al autor y lo acabó con 4 frases, literalmente de tres polvos, ya se profesan amor eterno, se piden la mano y colorín colorado, esta cuento se ha acabado. Horrible, no me ha gustado ...

review 1: Hard... Very very hard to review this one. At least for me it is!I can go on and on about the book, but all have already been said, so I'll just point out one thing that made me take the one star off, and it's something that made the experience of reading it, less than it should ...

review 1: Not my cup of tea. The financial stuff didn't bother me too much and I did not find it boring or anything, but I still prefer just a tiny bit of a hint the MCs even like each other just a little bit. There was a lot of steamy sex in this one, but emotions? Close to zero. Unless, ...
