❤❤ 4.5 star audio review of GHOST by A Zavarelli❤❤

Talia.

I have always been a bird. Caged by one prison or another when the only thing I ever wanted was to fly away.

Nothing scares me anymore.

Though known primarily for her award-winning and international bestselling erotic romances (including the Stark and Most Wanted series) that have reached as high as #2 on the New York Times bestseller list, JK has been writing full time for over a decade in a variety of genres including paranormal and contemporary romance, “chicklit” suspense, urban fantasy, and paranormal mommy lit.

JK has been praised by Publishers Weekly as an author with a “flair for dialogue and eccentric characterizations” and by RT Bookclub for having “cornered the market on sinfully attractive, dominant antiheroes and the women who swoon for them.” A five time finalist for Romance Writers of America’s prestigious RITA award, JK took home the first RITA trophy awarded in the category of erotic romance in 2014 for her novel, Claim Me (book 2 of her Stark Trilogy). Her Demon Hunting Soccer Mom series (as Julie Kenner) is currently in development with AwesomenessTV/Awestruck.

Her books have sold over three million copies and are published in over twenty languages.

In her previous career as an attorney, JK worked as a clerk on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and practiced primarily civil, entertainment and First Amendment litigation in Los Angeles and Irvine, California, as well as in Austin, Texas. She currently lives in Central Texas, with her husband, two daughters, and two rather spastic cats.

Book Title: Take Me With You

Genre: Dark Romance

I watch.

I study.

I prowl.

I hunt.

I always go in with a plan. A set of rules for myself. I don’t take unnecessary risks. That’s how I’ve been able to evade capture all these years.

But there’s something about this girl that is different than the others. When I finally meet her, the rules become a blur. And I break the most important one of all—I take her with me.

——-

It’s just my imagination—that feeling of being watched. That those icy eyes— a vivid turquoise with a distinct golden fleck—aren’t watching me.

It’s just stress. I am the person everyone relies on. Maybe that’s why I haven’t been feeling so content with my life lately. Why I dream those eyes belong to someone who can tear me away from all of my responsibilities.

But these are just shameful fantasies, never meant to breach reality.

Then one night, the dream comes true, only it’s a horrific nightmare.

Now, I only have one task: survival.

Nina should be titled the queen of fucked up fairytales. She takes your characters and makes them so depraved and yet you find yourself loving them. You KNOW you shouldn't love them and the things they do are crazy and as many times as you tell yourself you can't or won't love it, you're screwed. And you do.

I think Nina sits back and thinks of some of the worst things that a person can be put through. Then finds ways to make that same character lovable. Redeemable almost. No, lovable. Okay, likable.

I don't know how Nina does it but I fell in love with Sam and Vesper. I knew Vesper was the one we could relate to but I couldn't help finding myself really really liking Sam.

As with typical Nina writing, it's a vortex. You get sucked in and there's no getting out. You are just captivated, addicted. And this book didn't fail to deliver either. I knew i shouldn't like Sam, but damn if I didn't feel like I need a bucket of ice or some very alone time. What have you done to me Nina?

Nina G. Jones is the author of seven full-length novels of various romance and erotica sub-genres. Her latest novel, Take Me With You, releases on October 17th.
