Book 1: Maid for the Billionaire 

Dominic Corisi knew instantly that Abigail Dartley was just the distraction he was looking for, especially since having her took a bit more persuading than he was used to. So when business forces him to fly to China, he decides to take her with him, but on his terms. No promises. No complications. Just sex. 

Abby has always been the responsible one. She doesn’t believe in taking risks; especially when it comes to men - until she meets Dominic. He’s both infuriating and intoxicating, a heady combination. Their trip to China revives a long forgotten side of Abby, but also reveals a threat to bring down Dominic’s company. With no time to explain her actions, Abby must either influence the outcome of his latest venture and save his company or accept her role as his mistress and leave his fate to chance. Does she love him enough to risk losing him for good? 






Meet Ruth

Ruth Cardello was born the youngest of 11 children in a small city in northern Rhode Island. She spent her young adult years moving as far away as she could from her large extended family. She lived in Boston, Paris, Orlando, New York—then came full circle and moved back to Rhode Island. She now happily lives one town over from the one she was born in. For her, family trumped the warmer weather and international scene. 
She was an educator for 20 years, the last 11 as a kindergarten teacher. When her school district began cutting jobs, Ruth turned a serious eye toward her second love– writing and has never been happier. When she’s not writing, you can find her chasing her children around her small farm, riding her horses, or connecting with her readers online.

Tainted by Peiri Ann (A Burdened Novel #2)

 
 
 
What can I say without giving anything away? This follow up to Burdened was fantastic. It lived up to the first and did not lose any of the series luster like so many follow up books in a series.

Tracey and Nathan continue their journey together as they deal with Roehl and family issues. Several family secrets are revealed and many  relationships are put to the test.
 
We continue to follow Scott and Glenn with their rocky relationship as well as the three, Scott, Glenn and Tracey try to finish high school without causing a scene.
There is a shocker in this book that I did not see coming. It was almost a relief in a way due to all the drama that was brought previously.
 
I really liked this book and Peiri Ann did it again. The pace of the book was great, the writing was wonderful and I had trouble putting it down.

Review Tour: Burdended by Peiri Ann


Burdened
by Peiri Ann
Genre: YA Fantasy Romance




(Warning: Burdened contains mature contact and strong language some may not find appropriate for readers under the age of 16.)

Eighteen-year-old Tracey Warren is a ‘run-of-the-mill’ high school student on the verge of graduation. She has her friends and her fun; she has life all figured out. Or she thought she did.
Her pedestrian reality crashes around her after an innocuous touch from a diabolically handsome stranger. Just one touch from Nathan Newcomb and her head and her world spins out of control. Soon she discovers that the only cure for the uneasy feelings and pain is Nathan himself. A man whose very existence balances between violent chaos and rigidly controlled dangers.
Nathan knows that the life of a woman mated to a burdened Sephlem is destined for peril beyond a human’s reckoning. But Tracey calls to his desire to experience love in spite of the hazards. And Nathan’s impossibly potent magnetism draws Tracey into a bonding that will put her in mortal danger again and again.
Once the pair becomes one, the threat escalates and nowhere is safe. There are enemies that lurk behind every corner. But the greatest danger may be in the bloodlines that course through Nathan’s veins.

Can a love for all time survive or will their burdened souls surrender and fade away?

 
My Review:
 
This is not my normal genre of reading but let me say I was pleasantly surprised. It was not too other worldly and I prefer my super naturals to be humanesque and not random creatures. Well at least the main characters in these types of stories.
 
Tracy and Nathan have a solid relationship once they start communicating to each other and trusting one an another. This does not take as long as many other books like this however her friend and Nathan's cousin is a different story. They have a dysfunctional relationship that threatens the others of the family.
 
Nathan loves Tracy and feels he is taking away her choices and wants her to be as much aware of what she is getting into if they fully mate. Once fully mated there is no backing out. Tracy deals with all that is thrown at her with such strength and grace. I really enjoyed these two characters.
 
I was really impressed with the attention to detail that went into the different types of super naturals so to speak and how it was all explained. It really felt like these types of people/demons etc exist. I couldn't put it down as I wanted to keep reading and see what else was around the corner.
 
I am anxiously anticipating book 2 as there are several unanswered questions and plot lines. :-)
