The Blurb:

Less than six months ago my life was twisted and flipped on its side. Things have changed so much I barely recognize myself anymore. 

I am no longer an Enforcer. 

I am no longer a Witch. 

I no longer hate the Fae. (For the most part) 

And the sex-on-a-stick-gorgeous-Fae? He isn't really the Dark Prince. 

No, he is the father of my children and with the babies on the way, the land dying and the Mages closing in; alliances will have to be formed if we are all to make it through the war that is coming to our front door.

Between warring Gods and Goddesses, how are any of us supposed to win?

                                                                            * Spoilers below*

This series is Fucking Awesome!!!!!!!! This book wow, I don't even know where to start or how to put into words how good this book was. It had everything I want in a book, and I finally got the I love you I was waiting for from Ryder and Syn!!!! Amelia Hutchins does it again! Right out the gate she had me freaking the hell out. This book grabbed my attention and kept me on a emotional rollercoaster til the end. At the 25% mark of the book I am gutted!!   Syn Fucking dies!!!! Right before she dies she looks at Ryder and tells him "Fairy, be good to our children. I love you, I've loved you since the moment you walked into my world, and always will," I whispered as I held his eyes. "Tell them I loved them and how much I wanted to be here for them, Ryder, and how much I love you," Straight fucking gutted!!! OMG after that she dies and Ristan has to cut her open to save the babies... BTW there is Three babies! Ryder is a wreck after Syn dies and he is telling her goodbye he tells her "This is your love; it has to be. I can't breathe. I can't fucking breathe without you, Synthia Raine. You weren't supposed to leave me, Pet; that wasn't the deal. I told you I would find you, damn you. How could you run from me in death where I cannot follow you? This isn't right, but I get it now, you taught me. I know what love is, and it hurts. It's tearing me apart, and I find I don't enjoy it at all. Had you told me of this kind of pain, I'd have denied wanting it. I'd have lied if I could have. But if not feeling this pain meant never knowing you, I'd feel it again and again-just for you. I'd do it all again for one more moment with you." 

Yup at this point I am losing my shit, and crying like a damn baby!

Ryder was perfect in this book. The way he broke over Syn, and the way he was with their babies melted my heart. Nothing is sexier than a good father! Nothing!!!! He was so romantic and sweet, but still all sexy, powerful, dominant , and Possessive alpha male he has always been just a whole lot sexier. And the man cornered the market on dirty talk!

"Is that what you are? Because I thought you were my dirty little plaything. One who screams my name so loudly while I'm driving my cock into you, that the Humans can hear us going at it in their own realm."


"After we present our children to our people, I'm going to kiss every inch of you and I promise to not leave anything untouched. I'm going to make you beg for my cock, and then maybe I'll let you have control of my cock... maybe,"



"I'm going to make you scream and beg for mercy, but I'll have none. Not for tonight. Tonight you are going to beg me for every release I give you. 

Syn brave, strong, and fighting with all she's got! Syn.... Damn I love Syn. There is nothing about her I would change. She is perfect! Standing by her man. Fighting for her family. Watching her go from a Fae hating woman that lets the past blind her to a loving mother perfect!

"It hurts to feel something so much and to have the other person not know or be unwilling to return those feelings. That's what I feel for you; that's love. And yes, at times it hurts like a bitch, Fairy. But I didn't leave you willingly; I'm still here and even death couldn't take me away from you in the end."


"I need no other man because my beautiful beast loves me. He is my equal, and mine. As I am his. That's why you own me, Fairy. You may own me in the bedroom, but that is because I allow it. I allow you to love me, because I love you. I am never owned, but I can be charmed into a partnership. Those are facts; now stop arguing because as a smart man once told me, I always win."

Syn and Ryder

Damn but I love em.. A beautiful couple. Sweetest damn family. I am so addicted to this series! To these characters. They feel so real to me, and I feel completely invested in this couple and their family, friends, and their world. I waited four books for the lovey dovey stuff and this book gave it to me, and so much more. It was worth the wait because I melted...

"Then marry me, Synthia, fucking marry me and make me yours as I want to make you mine. Forever,"


"I'm asking you this, not because I almost lost you, but because I know now that I need you. You're my air, Synthia Raine Mckenna, the mother to my children and my entire world. I know now that I've always wanted you, and while I went through deceitful ways to obtain you, we now know that this was our destiny all along. I love you, and I don't want to live without you. So, Pet. Will you marry the beast?"


"I love you," I whispered. "I love you too, Synthia. Forever will never be long enough with you,"


"I need to marry her before she remembers what an asshole I used to be, and all I've done to get and keep her." "I remember, and you being an asshole back then only makes me want to marry you more. I have countless time to torture you. Karma just changed her name , to Synthia."


And Ristan oh God poor Ristan.... Break my heart! I hope his book is next I need more Ristan, need to see his pain healed, and I need him to get his Happy Ever After. I really enjoyed Syn with her family. I love her brother Liam and the blood king and queen! I would love to see Liam get a love story too he deserves HEA too!

"My daughter birthed triplets! Long live the Horde King and soon to be Queen!"


The only thing I didn't care for in this book was the choking during sex thing. It just didn't do it for me. I get that the writer was trying to try it fresh and all, but it's not my thing! Other than that this book was Epic. It has a great story, and kept me guessing I never knew what would come next. Action packed, fast pace, and full of naughty, lusty passion. The Fae Chronicles has made a Fan girl outta me!!! Loved it and I would recommend this series to anyone looking for a awesome paranormal romance!!

Escaping Destiny

Book Review of  Escaping Destiny (The Fae Chronicles)

Title: Escaping Destiny

Series: The Fae Chronicles

Author: Amelia Hutchins

Date Published:  February 17th 2014

The Blurb:

I thought things couldn't get worse. I was wrong.

I found out what I really wanted and was forced to give him up. Just as I found out who I really am, I was presented to the elusive Horde King as a gift.

This was the mystical being I was hidden from for more than twenty years.

Although Ryder promised to save me, I couldn't let him get near this creature, so I willingly (sort of) signed myself over to be his new plaything.

Now in the Horde Realm, nothing is going remotely like I thought it would.

My powers and emotions are on the fritz, and each day seems to bring surprises that I am not sure how to deal with.

The Horde King thinks he has me exactly where he wants me. He thinks he has taken all of my options away.

I still have choices.

Embracing what destiny has planned for me, or escaping it. 

My Review

5 Wee Little Beasties Stars

May have spoilers.

This book was Amazing!!!! So the book starts right were Taunting Destiny left off Syn is being gifted to the Horde King. She is trapped no way out and worried that Ryder will get himself killed trying to save her from the Horde King. Things are looking really bad for Syn!

Holy Plot twist batman!!! Ryder is the Mother Fuckin Horde King!!!!!  I so didn't see that shit coming! It's 5% into the damn book and I am floored! And the plot twist just kept coming. 

Ryder OMG I think I just fell in love with Ryder. He was so damn sexy, protective, powerful as fuck, dominant, and Possessive, Damn if he didn't really try in this book to make Syn happy and be romantic. He is trying to see where she is coming from and is starting to give a little instead of always taking! Ryder really grows in this book, and nothing is sexier than a tough man falling hard for a woman. OH and he is one Panty melting , dirty talking beast!

"It may be between your legs, Pet, but make no mistake, this belongs to me. Understand?"

"Good girls get special kisses. Do you want to be kissed?"


"I'm going to fuck you so hard, and so deep that you will scream my name, Princess. Your body will tremble, your insides will melt, you will be wild with need, but you won't come, not until i allow it. I want you so fucking wild with lust that you beg me to come. That you will beg me to allow you to find release, and only then will i allow you to come on my tongue."

Syn came out swinging in this book. I didn't think she could get any better for me, but I was wrong.

Syn has always been Kick ass, but in this book she shows a softer and vulnerable side. She really fights for want she wants !


"You want me fine? Leave me alone for a minute. In the last few weeks I have watched my best friend be murdered right in front of me, I found out I wasn't human, I have been stabbed by Zahruk, almost blown up, given to the Dark Heir as his fiancee, Kidnapped, met my fairy fucking family, and now I'm a whore for the fucking Horde King! You want me to be okay? Then get the fuck back for five minutes!"

"I'm going to fight for him. He's my ever after, Adam. I'm willing to fight to keep him,"

"It fucking hurts! I can't breathe, Ryder, because of you! Before you I was fine. I was living. I could breathe and without you I can't! When Adrian died it hurt like hell, but I could breathe, damn it!"

God did I hurt with them. My emotions wow this book had me feeling everything. I loved Ryder and Syn's relationship in this book they are a lot more like a couple and you can see their love growing . They had a very cute playfulness in this book that I loved.


“She’s my fucking anchor, and no one will take her from me again, not even to save this world.”


“I was going to fight to keep the elusive Horde King as my own. Every beauty needed a beast, and he was mine.” 

For real I am loving me some Ristan! This book consumed me from beginning to end, kept me on edge , was action and drama packed. Damn good read!! 

Fav quote:
“I'm the fucking Horde King, I don't woo."
"Woo her," Ristan continues.
"I don't woo."
"Woo," he repeats.
"I'm not the kind of man to woo anyone. I can make her scream my name to the rafters, isn't that enough wooing?"
"Woo," Ristan smirks, which only served to irritate me more.
"Woo," I grind out on an exhale.
"Yes, woo," he says, already turning to walk away. I watch his shoulders quake with laughter.
"Woo," I growl.
"Woo!" He says over his shaking shoulders.
"Fuck me," I shake my head.
"No thanks, not my type...” 

GOD I can't freaking wait for SD!!!!! If you have not read this series you should totally check it out!

Taunting Destiny

Book Review of  Taunting Destiny (The Fae Chronicles)

Title: Taunting Destiny

Series: The Fae Chronicles

Author: Amelia Hutchins

Date Published: September 18th 2013 

The Blurb: 

I thought things were bad and weird before – hold on – it’s getting worse.

Adam and I are both going through identity crises of epic proportions as we Transition from who we were, and discover who we were meant to be. More Fae are dying, and I feel as if time is running out for us to find all of those responsible and put an end to the killings.

The people I thought I could trust have betrayed me and the one person I should absolutely not trust; is taking me deeper and deeper into his world.

Ryder’s secrets are dangerous and devastating.

With each touch and word, he pulls my heart closer to himself and at the same time he is trying to keep me at arm’s length. The dance he and I have begun, is getting more complicated as our worlds are being shaken from all sides, and the visions of the future are frightening, and nothing like I had ever pictured for myself or those I care for.

This time, destiny is taunting me.

I had always thought that I controlled my destiny. Now, my rights are being taken from me by powerful people and leaving me with alternatives that range between bad and awful.

This time, the choices I have to make can decide the fate of both worlds.

Everything is unraveling, and nothing will ever be the same again. 

My Review

4.5 Who's your daddy Stars         May have spoilers

OMFG I loved this book! The first book was good, but this book Wow just WOW!

So this book picks up right where Fighting Destiny left off. Syn and Adam are trying to deal with the fact that they are Fae, and all that entails including their upcoming transition. Crazy murderers are still out there killing off Fae. Syn is missing her best friend, and she doesn't know who she can trust!

I just can't believe how good this book was. Amelia Hutchins added so much to the story line and some plot twist I never saw coming, that it kept me on the edge of my seat and my emotions all over the place.

Ryder:

I loved Ryder in this book. I love how he let his walls down and let Syn in. How she made him laugh and pushed him, and I love how she brought out his softer side. I love the fact that Amelia Hutchins kept Ryder true to his character. He wasn't a alpha ass one minute and a perfect sweetheart the next. He was still the sexy, dominant, cocky, dirty talking fucking fairy that he was in the 1st book, but better. The fact that he was slow in changing made it more believable.

"You've left a mark on me that will never be replaced. I'm incapable of loving anyone. You have turned my world upside down, Pet. I want you-the visions don't change that. Let me make love to you, Synthia. Let me show you what you make me feel. I need to be with you now. I need to feel you beneath me. I need to touch your soul and leave my mark on you, so that you never forget me."



"You," he said falling to his knees in front of me. "I'd want you, Synthia, to do with as I wished for the rest of my life. You would be mine, completely. I'd want you at my mercy, to taste, and touch when I wanted you."


"Synthia, I plan to keep you forever,"


Syn:

Syn was better in this book too. In the 1st book I really liked Syn, but I felt she let Ryder and others walk on her too much. In this book she grew her lady balls and wasn't taking shit from anyone! She was just as sassy, loyal, and funny as she was in fighting destiny. She just kicked more ass and I loved it!!!! 

"Get away from me. I've lost everything! Everything, Ryder. I'm barely fucking standing on my feet and you just keep taking from me. I signed the fucking contract. You have me through transition! Why the fuck would you mark me as your whore?"



"I am not your anything. You marked me without my permission. So I'm not yours until I decide to give myself to you . You can't just piss on my leg and say I'm yours. It doesn't work that way in the real world."



"I'm Syn, and you're Ryder. You're my fucking Fairy, and you're wrong," I purred throatily. "How's that?" he inquired, sinking further inside of me. "You're my fucking Fairy happy meal,"

Ryder and Syn together Dayum! This book has some of the hottest sex I have ever read and that is saying something. I loved the build of their relationship there was no instant love. It was a nice slow development that made me feel invested in them as a couple.


"I'm going to fuck you hard and fast. I'm going to worship every inch of you with tongue until you tremble and beg me to fuck you even harder. I'm going to make you remember me forever, right now. Then I will fuck you slow and gentle, and show you what it is like to be cherished, by me."

Ryder made Syn's transition so special and sweet that I swooned a little, until the sex. Did I mention the sex was hot as hell!

"Tell me how much you want this cock inside of you. Tell me how bad you need to come. say it, and I promise to make you come, so many times that you won't remember your own fucking name."



"I fucked you in every position, in every way I could, and you begged me for more. You took everything I gave you. You begged me, and it was the hottest fucking thing I have ever seen in my life. You fed perfectly."


I also enjoyed the budding friendship between Ryder's men and Syn and that she got to meet her family. And the ending! OMG THE FREAKING ENDING!!!! Why do you leave me hanging like that.

I really can't think of much that I didn't like in this book. It was a great read and I would totally recommend it!!

Fighting Destiny

Book Review of  Fighting Destiny (The Fae Chronicles)

Title: Fighting Destiny

Series: The Fae Chronicles

Author: Amelia Hutchins

Date Published: June 4th 2013

The Blurb: 

Have you ever heard of the old Celtic legends of the Fae - beautiful, magical, and deadly creatures that have a love of messing with humans just for kicks and giggles?

Welcome to my world.

What started out as a strange assignment, lead to one of the most gruesome murder mysteries of our times. My friends and I are set and determined to find out who is killing off Fae and Witches alike.

Couple of problems in the way – I hate the Fae and the Prince of the Dark Fae is bound and determined that I work for him. He’s a rude, overbearing egotistical ass with a compulsive need to possess, dominate and control me. Oh – did I mention that he is absolutely sex-on-a-stick gorgeous and he makes me feel things that I never ever wanted to feel for a Fae...every time he touches me or looks at me with those dangerous golden eyes he seems to pull me further in under his spell, despite my better judgment.

My friends and I can’t trust anyone and nothing is as it seems on the surface – not even me.

My Review

4 The asses you hate to love Stars.

Fighting Destiny is the First book in The Fae Chronicles Series. Witches and Fae are being killed left and right. It's Synthia's job as a witch in the Guild, to enforcing laws that protect humankind from the rest of the Otherworld creatures. Syn is the best at what she does, but she is a rebel with a dark past. Syn doesn't play well with others, and she hates and distrust the Fae. So she couldn't believe it when she was hired to work for the Dark Prince of the Fae, Ryder. She doesn't trust Ryder, he is a rude ass jerk, use to getting what he wants, when he wants it, but she can't help the lust that burns in her for him. Ryder is powerful and he always gets what he wants. He doesn't ask, he takes. So when he wants the sassy witch that challenges everything he says and fighting him at every turn , no one will stop him from having her, not even her!

So this is the second time I have read this book. The first time I had a lot of mixed feelings about it. I liked it the first time, But I liked it more the second time around! There was parts of this book I really liked, but there where some parts of this book that I really didn't like.

Ryder:

Ryder confused the hell out of me one minute I liked him and the next I wanted to choke him. I think Ryder is kinda a dick. Sometimes he was this asshat that did things that I had a hard time seeing how Syn didn't just punch him in the throat. I had a hard time seeing how Syn could fall for him or trust him with the shit he pulled, then at other times he would do something sweet like have her dance on his feet. 

It confused me and made me unsure of how I felt about Ryder. Also I have always said there is a difference between a sexy dominant alpha male and a crazy controlling borderline abusive male and I feel like the line was blurred in this book with Ryder. He was just too mean and controlling at times!

"Keep lipping off, and I'll find a use for that tongue." "Keep dreaming, man-whore."


"Never challenge me. I promise that you will lose. Every. Fucking. Time."



She's Challenging me. Even now, her eyes narrow on me, watching me as I watch her back hungrily. Challenge fucking accepted. ~ Ryder




"Then I'll put you back together. I will never tear you down, Syn. I will always protect you from anything and everything that would. I've yet to find anything in this world, or any other, who can take me on- keep that in mind,"

Synthia:

Synthia I liked a lot. I felt sorry for the things she lived through. She was very loyal to her friends who I didn't feel were very good friends to her at times. She was very sassy, and she has mad skills as a witch. At times she confused me too. She was kickass one minute and then she would let Ryder walk on her the next. 

"I'm not a piece of fucking property! I cannot be owned!"


"I'm not like Claire, Ryder. I won't be used because you want sex. That's what it would be-right?"



"Fuck destiny. I decide my own destiny, Ryder. Not some fucking preordained bullshit,"

Syn and Ryder's relationship while very hott with sexual tension and some very sexy dirty talk,

"You're too tight. I want to put my cock in you so fucking bad, Syn. I want to drive it in until you scream my name. Do you want it, Witch? Do you want this Fae cock fucking your tight pussy until it comes for me?"




"Fuck me, Ryder-hard. I'm asking you to just give it to me, everything. Stop holding it back."

lacked something for me. They had a Lust/ hate relationship for almost the whole book. I think that it was that I felt Ryder should have tried building her trust and showed her that she could trust fae, that they were not all alike and that not all would steal your will and rape and feed from you until you are a FIZ, but instead he was very selfish and broke her trust repeatedly. She even tried to give him a chance to earn her trust and to let him in, like their date. What does he do, He takes her to a hunt!!!

The hunt where her choices where to sleep with him or he would let the next hunter have her and the next hunter wouldn't take no for an answer, so the hunter would rape her! Then if she chooses her ex boyfriend, Adrian at the hunt he would kill Adrian. So Syn basically had no choice!!! I am just not ok with that even if he does say:

"You want to be chased. You need the choice taken away from you. You fight your own desires, because you think you cannot handle it Syn. You punish yourself for something that happened long ago, something you couldn't have changed, because destiny decided it before you were even born. I'm just giving us both what we want."


I mean really? And she was ok with that and wanted to sleep with him pfff! Then after he and syn have sex for hours, he gets pulled from their bed to hear news that his people were attacked by witches. He believes they are from Syn's guild. So what does he do he chokes her, doesn't wait to find out what happens just decides Syn slept with him to set up the attack on his people. What a asshat again! I also didn't care for the FIZ mind control thing. I felt really sorry for Syn. She had a bad life and I felt trapped for her by Ryder and all the crap he pulls. Towards the end I think Ryder was confused by his own feelings for Syn and you do get to see him soften a little. I started to like the new sides that Ryder was showing. The ending OMG the ending was crazy making me Freak the freak out!

The story plot is great, the world was different in a good way, and it was written well and had lots of drama and plot twist. I can see that the book has the potential to become a great series depending on how the next book goes so I am on to the next book!
