#BookReview: Confounding Oaths (Mortal Follies, 2) by Alexis Hall




ABOUT THIS BOOK:
A nobleman must work with a dashing soldier to save his sister from a mystical bargain gone wrong, diving into a world of malicious fey, enigmatic cults, and treacherous magic in this irresistible romance from the bestselling author of Boyfriend Material.

The year is 1815, and Mr. John Caesar is determined to orchestrate a successful coming-out for his younger sister, Mary. Despite his best efforts, he is thwarted by the various interventions of a ragtag regiment of soldiers, a mysterious military cult, and a malicious fairy godmother.

When Mary is cursed by the fair folk, the dandyish Mr. Caesar is forced to work with the stolidly working-class—yet inescapably heroic—Captain James to rescue her. While Mr. Caesar is no stranger to dallying with soldiers, until now he's never expected one to stay. Or wanted one to. But even if the captain felt the same, there'd be no chance of anything lasting between them. After all, he and Mr. Caesar come from different worlds.

And lately, other worlds are the last thing either of them want to be dealing with . . .

#BookTour: My Second Life by Simon Yeats @RABTBookTours




Memoir

Date Published:   July 5, 2023

 

 

 

We all have two lives. We only get to experience living in the second after we realize we only have just one.

Simon Yeats had his first real scare in life when he was attacked by a kangaroo when he was seven years old. His first brush with the cliff-face edge of death came when he was 12. His father drove his family down the dangerous, 4WD only Skipper's Canyon dirt road in New Zealand in a rented minivan.

Including the occasions he was almost involved in two different plane flight crashes, in the same night, there have been at least a half dozen more times when the author has come within a moment's inattention of being killed.

However, none of those frightening incidents compare to what he experiences after his son is abducted to South America.

This memoir is the story of how Simon used the traumatic experiences of his life to give him strength to forge on during an incomprehensible 13 year fight to be a father to his son.


What did it take for him to get to his second life?

It took him to truly understand what fear is.

There’s just one tiny complication — Imogene Prescott.

She was only supposed to be a tool. Someone I’d use, then toss out with the trash I thought she was.

She wasn’t supposed to give me a reason to live.

But she did.

She calls me Pretty Boy.
I call her mine.

From the first time I saw Bay Astor, that was it.

I wanted her.

Nothing would stand in the way of owning her the same way she possessed my thoughts. Not even a rivalry against the faceless gang that ran her part of town.

I’m the Prince of The Landings and she’s the South Shore runner with a love for burning rubber and fast cars, who won’t stop running product through my streets. We’re constantly at odds.

Nothing is more infuriating than her.

Truly the biggest pain in my ass…and I’m not the only one who’s noticed.

My best friend wants her as badly as I do, smitten as hell. And my other buddy thinks she’s the devil respawned, out to destroy us and everything we’ve built.
We’re just a bunch of stupid idiots who can’t figure out what to do with her.

But I’m looking to find out.

Bay Astor can run. She can hide. Hell, she can even deny that she wants me—which is a lie. I’ve never had a problem chasing her before.

Even if it costs me everything.

I’ve lost everything.

Forced into a prison masking as a school, I find myself in the crosshairs of more than one killer. My savior? The arrogant prick who wants to control me. Kieran is a nightmare wrapped in a seductive package and when he sets his sights on me I don’t know whether to fight him or kiss him.

Kieran

I am the eldest bastard of one of the four founders of Arcadia University, and I will do anything to see my family fall.

The secrets I’ve kept hidden behind my heart now threaten to bury me alive with the arrival of Tomás. He consumes my space, my thoughts, my nightmares. I hate him for how he makes me feel. This toxic attraction between us forces me to question what matters most—vengeance, power, love. But Tomas doesn’t fit into my world of lies and violence and I’m not ready to lose it all for a beautiful dark temptation.
