Tanya Rae’s Review: 5.0 ★★★★★
I just finished reading Deviant by Callie Hart and it was a book that I could barely put down. I even had to read it while at work every chance I got. I LOVE DARK romances and this is definitely one so make sure you read the warning and if you don’t like this type of book don’t read it.
I have actually had this book on my TBR list on my Kindle and first bought this book February 20, 2014. I wish I had read this book then! I bought Fracture the next book in the Blood & Roses Series before I even finished Deviant and I can guarantee Fracture will not be sitting on my Kindle just waiting to be read I will be starting it as soon as this review is completed.
Deviant is Sloane and Zeth’s Story. Sloane’s sister was kidnapped and Sloane is trying to find her and she goes to lengths that are unheard of to try and find her. Zeth isn’t a nice guy. He is the stranger that has sex with Sloane. Sloane will do anything to find her baby sister. I can’t tell you more because I don’t do spoilers. Oh and if you like books that are Hot as H*ll then you will love this book. If you like DARK books then this is the book for you!

Synopsis:
Zeth Mayfair is pretty much the very last thing I need in my life. And yet with every breath I take he becomes more engrained in every aspect of it:
He has a key to my house.
He knows where I work.
He dumped his strange, mentally traumatized housemate on my doorstep and has driven off into the sunset in search of my missing sister.
I want to forget him. Want to change the locks and blot out his face, scourge his very name from my memory. The problem is that I also need him. I need him more than I need air to breath, and I can’t be without him now.
He owns me.
He torments me.
He’s fractured me.

| I love Fracture by Callie Hart. Zeth & Sloane’s story continues. Now Zeth is helping Sloane find her sister. Zeth can’t seem to leave Sloane alone. Sloane is still scared of Zeth yet she can’t seem to stay away. The story unfolds and I will let you read the synopsis on your own.I am really enjoying this series. It is a series full of Novella’s and Fracture is the 2nd book in the Blood & Roses Series. Oh and Fracture is still very HOT between Zeth & Sloane (Zeth also calls her angry girl) I am now ready to read the 3rd book “Burn” and it is already on my Kindle ready to be read. Thank goodness the whole series is out. |

Sloane
I’m not safe.
I haven’t been safe for a while now.
I ran to Zeth for protection, but Zeth is in danger himself. With Julio on one side, and the leader of the Widow Makers MC on the other, the smartest thing to do would be to run. I’ve been running long enough, though.
This is the closest I’ve come to finding my sister in two years.
I can’t back down now.
Zeth
My right hand man’s being tortured in the basement.
The guy who tried to buy Sloane’s virginity is burning rubber in our direction.
My psychotic boss is on a mission to find me, and the girl I’m supposed to be keeping safe has landed herself right in the middle of all of this.
Just another breezy weekend in the Californian desert.
What could possibly go wrong in the next 48 hours?

Tanya Rae’s Review: 5.0 ★★★★★
Wow I think this Series Blood & Roses keeps getting better and better. Burn is the 3rd book in this series and Zeth & Sloane’s story continues.
Zeth leaves Lacey (his sister but, he doesn’t know this. He thinks she is a girl that he rescued from the streets) with Sloane while he goes and tracks her sister down. And, this story continues but, you can read the synopsis for what this book is about.
I started reading this series a couple of days ago but, haven’t been able to stop reading them. Fortunately all the books are out so I am zooming through them and I don’t want to do anything else but read! Before the next book is finished I am buying the next book in this series. So that I will be ready to start as soon as my review is written. I love this series.
There is a dark edge to Blood & Roses so if you don’t like dark stories think before buying the first book. You do need to read them in order so you will know what is going on. Any way I am done with this review and I am now starting Book 4 Fallen.

Synopsis:
Sloane
For over two years, Sloane Romera has pinned everything on finding Alexis. Life was going to get better. Easier. Happier. The nightmare of having a missing sister was supposed to end, and everything was supposed to go back to normal.
However, now that she’s found her sister, Sloane is discovering that life has a way of ridiculing what we expect of it.
Nothing is easier.
And ‘normal’ is falling for a man who might never be able to feel the same way.
***
Zeth
A lengthy history of breaking things with his fists has given Zeth Mayfair a fairly good idea of how to get his own way. But when his goal, the one, single woman on the face of the planet that he’s truly ever wanted, can only be obtained by fixing things instead of destroying them, how can he adjust a lifetime of violence in order to make her his once and for all? And how can he make sure that she is safe?
The first part is going to take time. But the second part…
The second part is easy.
He must kill Charlie Holsan.

Tanya Rae’s Review: 5.0 ★★★★★
This series just keeps getting better and better & yes complicated too. But, I loved Fallen this book is my favorite of the series so far! The Blood & Roses series is a little bit dark maybe not as dark as some of the books as I have read. Although, there is definitely killing & blood involved and some BDSM elements as well. Oh & I don’t like Denise Lowell or Charlie! I do love Zeth & Sloane as well as Lacey, Cade & Michael! Of course you will have to read this series to know why!
I have Twisted (The Blood & Roses book 5) already on my Kindle and I am ready to start as soon as I have my review completed! Okay on to reading Twisted!

Synopsis:
Sloane
How many times can a person fall down and still get back up? How many times can things go wrong before you just give up?
I’ve lost everything. My home, my job, my purpose in life—everything has been turned upside down. But while life hasn’t exactly turned out the way I would have liked it to, I wouldn’t change a thing. If things were different, I wouldn’t have Lacey. I wouldn’t have Michael.
But most importantly, I wouldn’t have him.
I’ve realized what I feel. He knew it before I did. Only one question remains:
Is he capable of feeling the same way?
Zeth
Secrets are a prison, and I have been behind bars for years. Sloane Romera has been turning keys in all of my locks, throwing light on corners of my mind that I thought would forever be shrouded in darkness. Or at least I had hoped would be.
I have done so many wrongs in this life, and yet this woman has forgiven me. She’s done something I never thought possible—she has learned to understand me, and she hasn’t run. She’s amazed me. She’s saved me. She’s fallen in love with me.
If it’s within my power, I’m about to do the same for her.

Tanya Rae’s Review: 5.0 ★★★★★
First off know that this is a Series Blood & Roses and there are 6 books that you will need to read in order to know what is happening in each of them, Deviant, Fracture, Burn, & Fallen and the last one in the series is Collateral & know that I will be starting as soon as this review is written. The good news is that all 6 books are out so no waiting!
I know I said that Fallen was the best in the Blood & Roses Series so far but, now I am going to say Twisted is! I can’t seem to do anything else but read this book! Forget any Activities of Daily Living. Forget eating, sleeping etc. I just wanted to read Twisted! I am so addicted to this series! I am so glad these books have been short stories. Collateral the next book may be the longest at about 171 pages. I am tearing through these books at breakneck speed because I need to see what happens to everyone. I absolutely love Zeth & Sloane. I want Lacey to become whole & well. I want to know that Rebel is a good guy and Alexis Sloane’s sister is good as well. I need my HEA! I LOVED reading Twisted and it was just a little twisted! Okay enough with this review! I need to start the last book now!

Synopsis:
The final installment of Zeth & Sloane’s story is here!
With Lacey missing and everything falling apart, Sloane and Zeth will do everything they can to get her back. If that includes facing off against Charlie Holsan, the DEA, and anyone else who gets in their way, then so be it.
Faced with heartbreak, danger, and the increasing need to protect the ones he loves, Zeth Mayfair is finally realizing what it means to have a family. With her fears coming full circle, Sloane must learn that forgiveness is the only way to move forward.

OMG you had me crying like a baby in Collateral! I was so upset with something you did and I can’t say because I don’t do spoilers. I was tearful every time her name came up! But, I was so happy for the Q & A you did at the end of Collateral and I can see why you did what you did! But, wow that was an emotional drain! Now I have to say I hate crying and I hate crying from reading books but, when an author makes you cry it is because you are so invested in that book. At least that is how I feel! I loved this book and the entire series. And with each book they just kept getting better. I feel like I may have a book hangover!
A few books ago we were introduced to Sloane’s BFF Pippa. I didn’t like Pippa because she turned her BFF into the DEA. But, I have changed my mind now. I am so happy to learn there are some spin off’s from Blood & Roses Series! I can’t wait to read more from Callie Hart!

About the Author:
Callie has experienced many changes throughout her life, and gone through many ups and downs that have all worked towards shaping and moulding her into the person she is today: fun loving, active, social, and hard working. The only thing that has remained a constant throughout her life is writing. Creating characters who will tear your conscience in two is a favorite pastime of Callie’s. There are few real saints and sinners in her books; more often, the denizens of her stories are all very human. Broken, flawed, and always with the potential for redemption.
Despite the subject matter being markedly hot and heavy in comparison to the stories she wrote in elementary school, there will always be an element of fairytale to her work.
Callie Hart is the author of the Blood & Roses Series. Zeth & Sloane’s story is now complete, but there are a number of stories still to be released under the Blood & Roses banner. 2015 will see Cade, Michael and Rebel’s stories being released, as well as a number of brand new stories, all of which will be Dark Romance novels.
