So today I have something very exciting for you all, and that is my very first release blitz & giveaway! The book that I'm doing this with is Captive's Kiss by Sharon Kay. I'm really excited for this, so let's jump right in!
Summary -
It was only supposed to be one hookup. One hot night to ease the mating urge of his race’s fertile period.
But after scorching, up-against-the-wall sex in a darkened club, Tanner can’t get Saige out of his mind. And when he spots her the next day, in league with an enemy, he’s determined to uncover more about her than her delectable curves.
Saige knows Tanner is one of the good guys. And that’s why she can never see him again.
Her life has crumbled into a horrific turmoil, forced to aid criminals in kidnapping men for bloody arena fights. Held against her will, she has no hope of escape from her captors.
Determination rages through Tanner until he tracks Saige down. But rescuing her from her jailers’ sadistic whims means entering her underground hell. Posing as her victim and locked in a cell, he must find a way to save them both before he is pushed into a fight to the death.

My Review -
I gave this book a rating of 4/5 stars.
There was only one thing I didn't like about this book, and that was the overuse of "what the hell" and other rhetorical questions.
Other than that, the writing was fluent, and the story got straight to the point. The description was enough to make you able to clearly picture the scene, without being boring, and I found it very easy to slip into, however, I also didn't have trouble tearing my eyes away from the story, which I think is quite a good thing sometimes.
I'll be honest, I didn't think I would like it, but I was so wrong. It was shorter than I'm used to - I read it in just over 2 hours, and it was a different style to what i'm used to, but I thought it was a blend of genres that had been pulled off extremely well.
Book Excerpt-
Saige threw back the shot, savouring the burn as it flowed down her throat. If she didn't grab that male, there were dozens of others to choose from. Her captors preferred the most dangerous predatory species. They liked Deserati demons, butthey also loved Lash demons, and she was certain she'd seen a group of Watchers walk in.
She glanced around, not spotting them at the moment. Probably already in rooms with females. Dudes as big as that had ladies hanging off them like vines at this time of year. She looked to the dance floor, which was just a packed mass of bodies. It was hard to tell where one creature ended and the next began.
Her skin tingled, responding to the groping and kissing all around her. She needed to get relief, then she could do what she needed to.
She set down her glass and squared her shoulders, ready to sidle into the mass...and found her way blocked by a solid wall of muscle and a scent that almost brought her to her knees.
Smoke and a hint of dark spice clung to him. Well over six feet tall, he had short dark hair and green eyes that already gleamed with lust as he perused her from heels to hair. His eyes locked with hers, and she froze under the weight of his stare. Need, power, danger. And interest.
"Your name?" His deep voice rumbled around her, through her. His full lower lip looked bitable and her pulse quickened. He was a Lash, her species, and he was in the same hormonal boat she was. She could tell, even though she couldn't resist a quick peek at the bulge behind his zipper.
"Saige." She took in his enormous biceps and shoulders and inhaled once again. He was intoxicating, dreamy, sexy, and hot as hell.
A group of males pushed to the bar behind her, jostling her, and the Lash's arms went around her shoulders, tucking her close. Her breath hitched at the sensation of being pressed against that wide chest, and she took another greedy inhale. She rubbed her cheek on the soft black cotton of his T-shirt.
"I'm Tanner," he said, and she felt the word vibrate from his body the same way she heard them in her ears. "Let's go somewhere quieter."
