Is it hot in here? ā¤ļøāš„ Steamy indeed! And this is just the tip... of the iceberg. What were you thinking? š me too. If you want sexy, dark, trauma-healing, & snarky AF, Affinity for Pain is for you! šā Interested in an eARC? Contact me with that good ol' email button!ā ā The blurb- ā Newborn City, once a dead-end, old lady-infested town, is now home to hundreds of supernatural creatures. The Chakal demon, Hope Turner is one such being. Without physical sensation and the dreaded emotions that often go with it, Hope is the ideal human-hunting assassin. Tonightās plan is like all others- to introduce a bullet to yet another demon-haterās brain. Fate has other plans. Upon seeing Ciaran, sheās paralyzed by omaeriku, a bond that forces Hope to feel it all: heat, cold, and pain (which she could've happily done without).ā ā Ciaran O'Connor escaped his own Gladiator captivity to create a somewhat normal life. Now, someone from his past wants him dead. Aligned with the woman sent to kill him, who may have guest-starred in some saucy dreams, Ciaran must determine who put the target on his back and deal with his attraction to Hope. Worse yet, a sadist biting at their heels wants Ciaran back under his thumb. ā ā As they race to find their attacker before thugs kill them both, old habits rip them apart, allowing Ciaran to be captured by the one person he fears. Filled with demons, a wealthy madman, and torture, Affinity for Pain follows two people as they navigate a violent road lined with monsters and a heaping dose of sex. Hope and Ciaran have seen and felt pain, but theyāll soon see thereās more to life than agony.ā ā Affinity for Pain is an urban paranormal romance with sex, assassinations, and explosions. It's the first of the Newborn City Series but does offer its own HFN ending. ā #books #arcs #advancedreadercopies #reviewercopy #romancenovels #adultfantasy #indieauthorsofinstagram #bookstagram #readingcommunity #readerswanted #earcs #arcreaders #paranormalromance #smuttybooks #steamybooks #sexybooks #readnow ā (at The Forgotten Realms) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdG1J_KvXbD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
