Random Review: Natural Beauty by Meraki. P. Lyhne #Review #Giveaway





Author: Meraki P Lyhne
Title: Natural Beauty
Series: The Cubi #5
Self Published
Cover Artist: Jay Aheer
Publication Date: June 5, 2018
Length: 312 pages

Reviewed by Meredith

Synopsis

The Cubi people have lived a secluded and quiet existence since they arrived in America. A shipment of new breeders brought two changes with it: Their next King and a mutated breeder. Those two changes set off a chain of events that the Cubi are far from ready to deal with.

Daniel aspires and works hard to find his future place as the sovereign ruler of his people. Seldon fights to rise to his new station and level of responsibilities as the right-hand Lord to a King, but the fight is also with himself. The breeders, who were freed during the upheaval in the Great House of Dahlidin, return to the human society, but not everybody finds it easy to acclimatize.

Although forced into action, Daniel’s hands are tied. Tough decisions that will either end their war or step it up have to be made. The only question is whether a Kingdom that young is even ready for that.

Review

Natural Beauty is the fifth book in Meraki. P. Lyhne's Cubi series. This book is not a standalone. The story arc for this adventure is creative, brilliant, sexy, and entertaining. I envy those who have to start from book one because they get to experience all this for the first time.

While you'd say Daniel is the main character of this series I've found that his evolution isn't the only one that is poignant and amazing to witness. Yes, the Daniel from book one and the Daniel now is just... WOW. And I wouldn't have seen this coming from chapter one book one. But there are others that make this series what it is.

Natural Beauty took me to a place I have been waiting to get to for some time. I was so excited I was vibrating in my chair as I read it. It's hard sometimes to keep a reader's interest in a series but not this one. Each book brings the story line to new heights and adds more eroticism and suspense.

If this isn't a series you've read I very much recommend it. You'll get swept away in it and blink like you're seeing sun after days of darkness in the end.

LOVE!

Review

This is book four in Meraki’s The Cubi series. This is a series that once you begin it, you won’t be able to quit it. It is following a story arc so you do need to read them in order. You will be lost otherwise.

Now, what do I say about this? I guess this review speaks to those who have been following Daniel’s amazing journey. Well, our boy has to grow up and fast! There’s so much happening in this book. As you remember when the last book ended, they all fled. Well, now we see the next plan. And it’s not smooth sailing.

It was beautiful watching Daniel, Seldon, and Caledon get closer. It made me so happy to see these three in love. We meet so many characters and we see ones we have come to adore. The story is growing and it’s also getting intense, dark, and emotional.

NO SPOILERS but I will say that there’s a part of this book that may be hard to read. No doubt you realized with the end of book three that war was coming. And it’s moments like what happen here that we realize a few things. No one is untouchable. What happens will tear at your heart but I swear the author makes it right. But there’s a moment, you’ll know it when you get there, and you’ll be thinking the same thing I was. “Daniel will rise and they will all be sorry.”

It didn’t end on a cliffhanger but it did end with you eager for book five. People need to pay, and there’s no getting out of a war.

Meraki has created an amazing world. He’s brought hatred into the light and the war of acceptance even more important to win than ever. I very much embraced this book and as silly as it sounds I’ve become attached to these characters and I want to see them win!

I’m ready for more.

Masterful Menage #Giveaway



As you are all aware, today is Saturday and that usually means it's Author Saturday Spotlight! Well, the author set to be here today had a family emergency so I had to come up with something clever to fill this slot. A reader of the blog, Em, (I don't want to use their full name as I haven't asked if I could) Came up with the idea that I should talk about top favorites in tropes. I thought and thought and realized that was a great idea. Now, what trope? Since menage is one of my top three (LOL) favorite tropes that's what I chose to deal with today.

I have read many menage stories and there are so many lovely ones I picked some that I remembered off the top of my head because they checked off all the boxes. I'm ridiculously picky about my menage. I believe on top of the physical element there must be a psychological one. It must make complete sense in all areas. I love seeing how the mind works so to understand three people in a serious relationship I HAVE to believe it.

As I said, I put together some and yes I'm aware I'm missing many but a blog post can only be so long. Of course, I'm happy to talk about it with all of you so ask me here or as you know I'm on FB and everywhere.

At the end, there is a giveaway where I will gift one person one of these books. It will be through Amazon. Sit back and relax....




More (Whole Series) by Sloan Parker

For fifteen years Luke Moore has lived by three rules: stay off his father's radar, never spend more than a single night with any man, and never fall in love again. But one night of explosive sex and two men he can't get out of his head have Luke breaking every one of his rules. Richard and Matthew push him past all his boundaries—both sexually and personally—and now he's no longer hiding from his senator father. He's taking him on. And he isn't just falling for one man. He's falling for two. If you're going to break the rules, might as well break them big.

But Luke's father has his reasons for hating how his son lives, and he'll do whatever he can and use all his power to keep Luke away from Richard and Matthew.

Can this threesome find a way to make their unconventional relationship last with the world around them trying to pull them apart? And will Luke be able to keep breaking his rules for Richard and Matthew, or will he head back to his old way of life just when his new lovers want to pull him closer?

This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and an all-male menage relationship.

The Protector (Sizzling Miami 3) by Jessie G

The whole series is great but I’m talking ménage here LOL…

There was a time when Master Saul Alvarez filled his days fighting and his nights teaching willing subs the pleasure of his whip. His compassionate understanding of the masochist mind makes him the most sought after professional sadist in the Miami BDSM community. Neither role invites long term relationships, but he’s comfortable with his solitary existence until he is charged with guarding Durango's prized whore. One look into those terror filled eyes has him vowing to risk it all to save the beautiful man.

Javier Escardo had been praying for death, but never expected the stone cold killer he got in response. One glimpse into those sinful eyes reveals not only the promise of retribution, but a reason to live. Seven years later, free and mostly sane, Javier is determined to take what belongs to him. Saul’s heart. Through hell and back, through layers of pain and shifting realities, that one truth has remained firm. His protector needs saving and he can’t do it alone.

Hidden beneath the public persona, Kyle Jansen is a man who craves to be invisible without being insignificant. He longs to find a Master who will see his need to be taken over without abusing him and a lover who will care about him beyond the sexual games. It isn't until he encounters the smoldering combination of Saul and Javier that he realizes it was never supposed to be just one partner at all.

Can two battered hearts be mended by the love of a third? Kyle becomes the light to their darkness, and he’s willing to risk his heart for theirs, but when the past threatens Saul, will Javier’s sacrifice destroy them all?

You Can See Me by A.E. Via

It takes more than perseverance to recover from tragedy...you also need love.

Following a horrific accident that leaves him blind, renowned chef Prescott Vaughan loses his fiancé and all hope for his career. Recovery and confidence in his skills come slowly, along with feelings he hasn’t experienced in a long time when he meets his new neighbor, Dr. Rickson Edwards.

Unlike Prescott, Ric is open about his attraction to men yet has issues that complicate their relationship. A brief separation threatens his hopes for an eventual reunion when Prescott befriends the handsome aspiring chef Blair McKenzie, who wants more than cooking advice.

Ric doubts Pres can let go of the charming southerner, but after an encounter with the sinfully sexy man, he can't help his attraction as well. Pres feels he must choose but realizes…does he have to?





Scary by JM Dabney

Welcome to Twirled World Ink where the crazies run the asylum.

Gene Sheridan earned the appropriate nickname when Legend Gib Phelps employed him at Twirled World Ink—Scary. No one made it out of his old neighborhood without scars both mental and physical. At one time, Scary thought he had a chance that is until his ex-boyfriend discovered slumming with someone like him wasn’t worth his trust fund. No-strings hookups became his go-to when he needed to relieve some tension. Co-owning a bar called Brawlers with his best friend, Tank, made it easy to find a body to use for the night. If not happy he was content with his life, but one man made content seem like such a terrible thing.

Elijah Vaughn worried about everything. His life was put on hold at eighteen when his mostly-absent parents died on one of their many adventures leaving him to raise his six-year-old brother, Brody. He’d never had anything or anyone that was just his. When Brody met a tattoo artist named Trouble, Elijah hadn’t realized how much it would change his life too. He met a huge man named Scary and how the man made him feel terrified him.

Tank Davis lost his voice the night he was attacked and had this throat slit ear-to-ear. It kept him in a world of silence. Silent and intimidating, he scared off more men than he drew to him. His best friend Scary and him made a life for themselves in small town Georgia with their bar Brawlers. Most night everyone could find him working security at the door. Scary called in a favor, and Tank met the one man he couldn’t resist, proper and upstanding Elijah Vaughn.

Can one man accept that there’s not one perfect man for him, but two damaged souls who need him to be whole?

Author's Note: Although this is the first book in a series each book is standalone and every book deals with a separate couple.





Broken Pieces by Riley Hart

Can three broken pieces make a whole?

Josiah Evans is the orphan who lost both his parents. He’s sweet, shy, and all heart. He wants nothing more than to be loved.

Mateo Sanchez is the son of a gang leader. He’s seen it all, and never hesitates to do what needs to be done, no matter what it is.

Tristan Croft is the wealthy attorney who clawed his way up from the bottom to rule his own world. He’ll never depend on anyone but himself again.

Three men who couldn’t be more different…and yet, as their lives intersect they find an uncommon balance that calms the storms inside each of them, and ignites fires hotter than they ever thought imaginable.


Told uniquely in three parts and spanning over ten years, BROKEN PIECES is a journey of healing for three fragmented souls, finding love in the unlikeliest of places—with each other.





 Untouchable Beauty Meraki P. Lyhne 
(Part of an ongoing series The Cubi)
Love all the books.

Business school is not for Daniel. Not after making the cover of Teen Model. The only problem is that his parents don’t agree, and Daniel skips school to set his plans for fortune and fame in motion. Meeting the award-winning photographer Heimli will change his life, but not in the ways the nineteen-year-old young man expects.

At the age of four hundred thirty-six, Seldon has fed on more beautiful men than he can remember. Living in seclusion from the human world, humans are brought to the Incubi and Succubi as slaves to feed on. Amongst these slaves are the rare Untouchables. When Seldon is entrusted with the safekeeping of one, he has his work cut out for him—especially since this Untouchable gets on his nerves. And under his skin.

Promotional Post: Chronicles Of An Earned Series by Meraki P. Lyhne #Giveaway




 With the 6th book in Meraki P. Lyhne's Chronicles of an Earned series releasing soon, Diverse Reader is promoting the entire series. Be sure to check this series out and read up so that you can grab book six, Gargoyle Rising soon! At the end, there's a giveaway to win one book in this series so be sure to enter!



The demigod race “Earned” live among mankind and serve their souls. It’s usually a pretty straightforward purpose and a calm life for these ancient beings, but when a half-breed is born into their ranks, all sorts of problems arise.

Kaleb was born in a convent in France in 1593. Sixteen years later the inquisition deemed him a witch and burned him at the stake. But he didn’t die. He couldn’t burn. The Church had another weapon against his kind, though, and they anchored him in a stone.
Four hundred twenty years later, a thief named Alex Rhoden is sent on the easiest heist of his career. Getting Kaleb’s anchor stone was easy. But he wasn’t the only one looking for it.



Chronicles of an Earned is a series where you’ll meet the entire spectrum of the paranormal. Where good and evil isn’t black and white, where Angels can be wrong, Demons not always the evil ones, and where witches, warlocks, and wizards aren’t as clear cut as general culture has you believe. Here, historical and mythological facts are twisted but kept as reliable and true to their sources as possible. All this with a side dish of hot and sweet MM.











Chronicles of an Earned #6

Blurb
An old spell book let him breathe life into a Gargoyle. With its rise come new enemies, but also the possibility of new friends.

At age eleven, Meino buried his dad next to where they had buried his mom less than six months earlier. All alone in the world, he seeks out the Gargoyles and uses his dad’s spell book to bring one to life. But he doesn’t understand the magic he is using and can’t finish the spell. For the next twelve years, his dreams are haunted by the lonely cries of the Gargoyle. As an adult, Meino tries the spell again to get rid of the nightmares. Only this time it works. But once the magic is alive it attracts the attention of the New Knight Templars who wants to destroy the Gargoyle.

Nathan and Lucien have settled into a routine at the school where Nathan studies to be able to help the Order. Just as life is calming down, it all takes a turn. News that a protégé is in danger, and that Nathan’s beloved Professor Nigel Gershman has died, is just the beginning. Once again, Nathan and Lucien are moved about to assist the Order, and new magic brings out a hidden enemy.
