Concrete.
Next to me. In front of me. Behind me. Below me.
It mocks me.
My prison.
My hell.
I don’t know who I am. Where I am. How long I’ve been here.
Decades? Centuries?
It’s felt like an eternity.
For all the unknowns, one truth has grown stronger with the torturous passing of time…
I wish I was dead.
Or, at least, I did until I heard her.
She gives me hope. A purpose.
Freedom.
I follow her, soaking in everything she does and growing more dependent. Never in my long life have I seen anyone so perfect.
Now I just have to find a way to make her hear me.
And being able to see me would probably help, too…
Warning: Recommended for readers 18+ due to strong adult language, themes, and lovin’ so good, it must be magicks.
5 ‘ Their Reward’ Stars
O.M.F.G!!! Just when I thought the first book, Styx, couldn’t be matched in its awesomeness, here comes Ms. Frost raising up the stakes with Stoned! This dirty minded pixie and her filthy mouthed detective will ROCK YOUR WORLD!
Again I’ll keep this review as non spoilerish as possible, because this series is all about the RIDE.
We met Juno, our now leading lady – she would so snort at being called that, btw – in the previous book, and could already anticipate just how rich and colorful her character was going to be. Well, she was all I was expecting and MORE!
Unless she’d broken her halo to form her horns, Juno was no angel. She was a temptress. A siren, luring me in.
And it was working. I’d take a naughty pixie over an angel any day.
Stellan, handsome and broody Alpha was the detective in charge of Juno’s case, but even if he wasn’t, there was no way he could stay away, when something beyond them was pushing him in the direction of the crazy, wild, comic book store owner.
I’d joke that it was a gift from the gods, but that wasn’t a joke. He was literally my gift from the gods.
This story truly was outstanding, from the hilarious, LMAO moments, to the suspense and insane chemistry and connection between the main couples, I was glued, and begging for more, actually, still craving, even more and more stories from this crazy addictive universe.
One date, and I was obsessed.
I’d chase. I’d beg. She just had to tell me the rules, and I’d play her game as long as winning meant I got her.
Juno and Stellan even though apparently completely opposites to one another, couldn’t have been better paired up, Fate really has a way. There was no doubt in my mind they could be anything other than true soulmates. He was the calm to her storm, and the rational and pragmatic to her crazy, two perfect halves of a whole, and I ADORED every single one of their interactions.
But they gave us beauty.
Our reward.
Layla Frost truly has an unmeasurable creative and writing talent. The way this universe was created, the complex and particular characters, the quirkiness and uncontrollable ROFL lines and scenes, and the organic feeling chemistry, transform this PNR romance in a love and suspense combo story, just as addictive as Juno’s special gummy bears and cotton candy – that I was craving while reading, btw. Seriously, besides begging for Levi’s story, I’ll be here stalking and counting down the days for the rest of The Four! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
“I love you, Juno,” he grunted, his thrusts growing more frenzied. “Not because you’re my mate or any of that shit. But because you’re my filthy-minded and dirty-mouthed pixie.”
“As long as I’m still breathing, and probably after, I’ll want you. Never doubt that.”
ARC kindly provided by the author for an honest review
Layla Frost has always been a rebel. A true badass.
Growing up, Layla used to hide under her blanket with a flashlight to read the Sweet Valley High books she pilfered from her older sister. It wasn’t long before she was reading hidden Harlequins during class at school. This snowballed into pulling all-nighters after the promise of “just one more chapter”.
Her love of reading, especially the romance genre, took root early and has grown immeasurably.
In between reading and writing, Layla spends her free time rocking out(at concerts, on the couch, in the car… Anywhere is a stage if you get into it enough), watching TV(the nerdier the better!), and being a foodie. Though she lives in NY(the state, not the city), she’s an avid Red Sox fan.
