Sin has mad a lot of mistakes in her life but the one she most regrets is the way she treated her own mate, so when he re-enters the picture she tries her best to avoid everything in hopes to never hurt him again. If I haven’t mention lately I love a story with a baby/kid element added in and Sin made a great mother. I didn’t know whether to reach through the book and shake her for avoiding Mason or commend her on the excellent tactics she used to do so. In the end she was as always a strong female and the perfect half for Mason.
Mason has had to do nothing but prove himself since the day he became more than human but its all worth it to be near Sin. A man after my own heart Mason knows what he wants and does everything to get it no matter how long it takes and that dedication to Sin and his family makes him a great leading man. I won’t give anything away but the whole bank thing made me love him even more. And the tattoos and piercing didn’t turn me away either ;0).
This was a great book filled with tons of love and lust and proof that sometimes its worth the second chance for a special man.
This is a very erotic and passionate book. The mix of different paranormal's keeps it exciting and mysterious. I loved all the different and unusuall names used through out it. It will leave you wanting More !!

Makhi
tells of a different world, a world of demons, shifters and fallen than I have read in any other story. It was fascinating to see how the world worked together and all the different characters involved. In many ways, Makhi reminded me of the Lords of the Underworld Series by Gena Showwalter, where even death has a heart. Because this world is so different, I had a challenge getting in and understanding all of the background and characters at times. I also had to re-read sections again to clear up some confusion I was having with what was happening.Makhi
is a stand-alone read but does have other series books available that tell the stories of the other characters we meet in Makhi. The sex is passionate and combustible with plenty of variety happening! Yet there are moments of sweet romance too, as Makhi makes sure to enlist the help of the female enforcers to pamper and treat Kama to the shopping and spa treatments. Hopefully as I read the other books, the whole idea of the world will become clearer to me. If you are looking for a unique story filled with interesting characters, give Makhi a shot!

In just a few short pages, Levey packs a lot into this sexy paranormal story. In addition to super hot sex scenes, she has an impressive amount of worldbuilding, a relatable heroine embarking on her own personal transformation and two hunky heroes. 3 Stars

Sorcha wants nothing more than to control her craft but when a little peer pressure gone bad brings her face to face with her new guardian she finds her life altered in ways she never dreamed. Poor Sorcha the girl has the worst luck in the world but luckily she had Macsen there to protect her when she really needed it. I can honestly say I loved how she handled the situation with the gargoyles and wanted to help them no matter the costs to herself.
Macsen is forced to watch over a group of witches that can’t seem to stay out of trouble and one in particular cause more than the rest. Macsen is a great male lead though he broods like no other he is always there willing to help the girls when needed. You could tell he truly cares for Sorcha and appreciates her help at the end.
This book ended with what looks like the great promise of another book and I can’t wait to read it.

Mahalia Levey created a cute, quick read with Briar’s Champion. Though I didn’t find it up to her usual standards, and a bit choppy, it was still enjoyable.
For a sexy read to fulfill the fantasy in all of us, Briar’s Champion is a good place to start. With some fun multi-cultural elements, and hot scenes, Mahalia Levey is sure to gain some new fans with this short story.

Oh the tomboy never sounded so good!
Nadja is the best tomboy I have ever read. She had so many facets to her character it was quite pleasant reading this story. Confidence in her abilities but not in self-esteem made for an enjoyable read. When she threw the drink in Donato’s face I laughed my ass off.
Donato is a great alpha male, and boy is he sexy. I love how he treated Nadja with both authority and care. It takes a great man to help a woman get through her insecurities and Donato is one fine man. And a soldier which is always plus ;0)
Oh and her friend D cracks me the hell up. I have friends like her so its easy to picture the scene in my head.
This well worth the read! And comes highly recommended by me!

Mahalia Levey does a good job writing this short story about how a women's low self esteem can stir problems in her life. A very true quote from the book confirms that no matter what don't change anything for anyone, if they don't like you for whom you are tough luck, "Any man who doesn't love you for yourself can piss off." Levey portrays this so well in her characters Review
Short Contemporary Novella, Interracial
Rating: 5 Cups
Nadja Mederios has the voice of an angel and a body of a harlot. Unfortunately, she was been verbally abused in the past and is unable to see herself for the woman she truly is.
Donato Falcone is at the end of his rope. He has denied his attraction from Nadja as she was an employee of his family’s business but now finds himself unable to deny the fiery woman.
Nadja and Donato have met their match and the slow simmer of their attraction is about to boil over. Will they survive the fire between them or will it burn Nadja and cause her to run?
Mahalia Levy writes with a soulful voice. The characters were fully developed and I was able to envision every scene in the book. Flaws and All takes to task the damage low self esteem and its ability to blind a person to their true beauty. I wanted to stand up and cheer for Donato every step of the way, what a hero. I highly recommend that you pick up Flaws and All; it will leave your soul singing.

Blurb: Nadja Mederios knows what she wants after months of watching Donato keep order at Club Mist, and an intervention from her best friend Taleena. As a lounge singer, she portrays a sensual, sultry woman; underneath she’s not the high maintenance girl people assume she is. A tomboy lies under her protective costume. When the real woman comes to light she hopes Donato finds her just as sexy.
Donato Falcone isn’t looking for commitment, but when someone touches Nadja without permission, rational thought leaves him and rage steps in. After his temper cools, he sees a different side of Nadja. Her sleek sophistication may well be a front for the girl who could be his forever, if he can break down her barriers.
Review: Flaws and All was a fun story. The dialog was fresh and the characters likeable. I liked Nadja and her insecurities made her real and her fear of relationships made for a great conflict. Donato was hot. He’s strong and protective. The story is a bit slow in the beginning and the middle is a bit weighted with filler, but once the action begins, its fast and entertaining. Donato is true hero material. My only complaint was in keeping the names of the characters straight because they all sounded too much alike. Flaws and All is a great short story and Ms. Levey has a nice style and voice to her writing.

This book had me laughing my butt off in parts. The part where she drag the woman out by the hair my god I loved it. I so would do that to.
Not only does this book have the wonderful big cat shifter that I love but she added more into the mix. A horse shifter I have never heard of before but I loved it.I am hoping she is planning on making more books about this series I find myself wanting to learn more about these fascinating shifters.

Blurb: Upon finishing the first semester of college three child hood friends meet up again at their familiar haunting ground. Fantasies never acted out, have the chance to happen for one night. Addie, Galen and Teagan find in each other’s arms an affinity for each other that has never evaporated but grown stronger during the length of their long lived friendship.
Review: The opening of Soulbound was a bit slow but offered needed backstory to give this hot ménage a foundation. Once Addie arrives on scene with Galen and Teagan, the story erupts with hot erotic action. What I liked best was that Addie wasn’t left out. Teagan and Galen are involved, but she is the missing element in the story. She’s not the center of this relationship, but she is an equal part. Ms. Levey pulled this off with erotic style and flare. Not easy to do since Teagan and Galen were so intensely sexy on their own.

How can you not fall for a guy who willingly throws himself into the line of fire meant for you? Although Orobus comes off cocky, arrogant, and a bit 'jerkish', he also cares deeply and refuses to be pushed away when it's obvious that Fatal needs a hero. Independent, strong willed, and stubborn are possibly Fatal's best attributes but they're also her greatest weaknesses. The chemistry between Orobus and Fatal is unexplainable but definitely evident in the way they possess each other through sex. It's after the physical attraction has been sated that they both realize how much they need one another and so the painful healing process begins.
I really appreciated the combination of both the Navajo culture mixed with that of a demon as it made for a unique and interesting storyline. Fast paced and full of interesting characters/creatures, this story sets up an interesting dynamic in the demon realm. In the end, I got the impression that this can't be all there is, when characters from the story start staking their claim in the plotline spotlight. This is my first Mahalia Levey read and I'll definitely be on the lookout for more of her work.

Review
Mahalia Levey’s first book, DEMONIC PERSUASION, in her new PROPHESIES IMPLIED series, is one red-hot read. The intensity of her characters’ personalities as well as their physical encounters leap from the pages. Ms. Levey’s ability to show a forming bond and not just physical chemistry, along with her hero who lets a soft side emerge from time to time, adds an element of sweetness to the storyline. Her world building is also well done. Her depictions of the underworld and darker club scenes are quite vivid. If you have a soft spot for demons, this should be on your to read list.

Review
Fatal, the main bad-ass chick is a woman after my own dark and evil withered heart. She is strong, stubborn and sexy as hell and has the HAWTTEST man in hell running after her to make her his mate. Together Fatal and Orobus, her hottie mate, bring down her emotional barriers, catch a bad guy and reunite with the family Fatal never wanted but she always longed to have. This book has all the things I think a erotic novel should have:
· Hot guys
· Sex toys
· Naked people
· Sex
· and a little bit of a plot. ( I like a little plot with my sex.)
So at the end of this book if you have not gotten hot and bothered, changed positions while reading, or just thought about how late the local adult store is open, you may need to just stop reading romance/erotica all together. You may be a cold fish. I loved this book. She aimed to please and I was more than pleased. Go get it, Now!!!
On a scale of 1-10 I give this book a 10. If you are 18+ and truly looking for your not so typical demon story were love and trust can make a difference without coming off as corny than you really need to get a copy of Demonic Persuasion. I wasn't sure how I would feel about this story but I am proud to say I really loved it. I can't wait til book #2.

This is a story of hardship, love, happiness and understanding. I LOVED this book. It has action, love, betrayal and best of all hot adult scenes. Once you start the book you can't put it down. It pulls you in from the beginning and you don't want it to end. I would love to see this book made into a series or a full length novel. There is sooo much to take in that the story keeps you hoppin'. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves paranormal romance with a very erotic twist. This is the first book I have read from Mahalia Levey but I can guarantee you that it won't be the last!!!

Good Reads Review
"A demon love story where being bad never felt so sinfully good, and one wrong move could be fatal" ParaNormalRomance Reviews~ Emily Rowe
For anyone looking for a good bad boy (or girl) story DEMONIC PERSUASION is the perfect one for your library. The relationships are believable (including the one between him and her) and build gradually as the story itself builds. The characters are strong and gloriously unrepentant. I would love for this series to continue and read about Fatal's brother's story as well as her parent's, and I look forward to whatever else this author has in mind for this world and all of its other occupants.
Fatal and Orobus’ demonic sexual escapades are totally hot and brutally intense; every action and reaction during their time together further emphasizes that the two are demonic by nature and that their sexual exploits mirror the level of their desire because of their nature.
The novel does a good job of spinning a tale of deception and betrayal, providing a reader a glimpse into the demonic realm of Azazel, Lord of the Underworld and its political power plays. I really enjoyed every aspect of "Demonic persuasion" and highly recommend it. I hope a sequel is in the works.
5 HOOTS!
The description of Fatal’s eyes near the beginning of the book. I also liked the hidden meaning behind her wearing contacts. She wears them to hide her eyes, hide who she really is, because they give her away, and I felt for her and every single person out there who feels they have to disguise themselves to suit others. Why, oh why can’t we just be us?
The theme of acceptance and understanding someone else’s view of the same situation.
I enjoyed the demon-ness of Demonic Persuasions. So many different people to imagine that I felt like a kid in a candy shop.
Got Erotic Romance
Ms. Levey’s writing is seamless and dreamy. She describes scenes that put the reader right there in the story. And the love Sere has for Darvon is very evident in her denial and shame of her Goddess half, Chaos.
The sex scenes are great, particularly the one where Darvon watches Sere pleasure herself then climaxes crying out his name. OOps spoilers. But a damn HAWT one. I recommend this read on that scene alone. But of course there is the storyline, girl accidentally maims boys father, boy really loves girl but not her evil side; girl hates her evil side and her evil side swears they, Sere and Darvon, are trying to kill her.
This book has all the things I want like sex, drugs, evil sexually frustrated goddesses, and really hot gods. Go out get buy legally and rant to the world that you love it like I do.

Review
Serephine is a goddess with the power of Chaos. Whenever disaster strikes, Chaos takes over and Serephine can only stand back and watch as her power whirls out of control.
Darvon is a god and has been attracted to Serephine since they were teenagers. But whenever he tries to get close, Chaos takes over and things go from good to bad in an instant.
When Alister, the god of Order, tries to stop Chaos from going too far, he ends up getting hurt. Determined to help his father, Darvon confronts Serephine and grounds Chaos from taking over. After a night of shared passion, he knows something must be done so Chaos does not overwhelm Serephine. Can the goddess figure out how to handle her powers and learn to be as one before it is too late?
Taming Chaos is a good read. The complications that Serephine has with trying to contain Chaos gives us a feel for the conflicts within the tale. The added problem of Chaos being attracted to Order made the obstacles within the book seem more difficult to overcome. Ms. Levey uses hot sex and interesting predicaments to write this unique fantasy world.
Coffee Times Romance Reviews
Serephine is a goddess with an identity crisis that could destroy worlds. She is the Goddess of Chaos, and when that side of her slips loose, death and destruction are left in its wake. Sere is also a kind and gentle woman who just can’t make peace with herself. Her own internal turmoil just heightens Chaos when she slips free. Once again, Chaos is loose and it is up to the God of Order to rein her in, but this time he is terribly injured. His son, Darvon, is called upon to fulfill his father’s duties and must confront Sere, the one woman that he has tried to avoid from their childhood. Sere must be convinced to embrace Chaos and merge with her or there will be no chance that she and Darvon will ever fulfill their desire and love for each other.
Taming Chaos is a tale of acceptance. Darvon is rigidly stuck in his world of Order and Sere is overwhelmed and appalled by her two natures. They must come to find the necessary balance between Order and Chaos in order to fulfill their destinies and their love. The passion is raw and steaming, and their love is complex as they fight not only their own natures but also each other’s. The author has created an extraordinarily thoughtful treatise and joyous, lust-filled journey

This was a great short story filled with lust and love. I loved the movie star angle to it and the whole body image problem the lead heroine faced. Laughed out loud when she started naming all the stuff off she didn’t eat and was like wow I wouldn’t be able to survive. Oh and TJ can we say NUMMY! I will never look at a desk or plastic surgeon the same way again.
I want a friend like T she seems like a really cool chick. As always I am pleasantly pleased with this wonderful author and left wanting more. The whole idea of writing a story off of a tarot card was a great one and hope she continues to write them.

For Becka she has never found such a man to change the one night of pleasure into something more, that is until she meets Ashton and her entire world gets turned upside down. After three very beautiful days together can the relationship turn into something more something that will make her burn forever? This was a cute short story filled with high sensual promise and beautiful beach. I fell in love with Ashton almost immediately and stayed that way till the very end. I know it was very embarrassing but I had to laugh at the ending what a thing to pop up at a moment like that. All and all this was a great quick read and highly recommended.

Wow!!!!! Can I just say that Cherry Flavored Sex was one sexy, Super-Hot short story that had me all hot and bothered!! lol Cherry Flavored Sex tells the story of Alana Merona who is a Were Witch, who is a performer at a club called Delightful Kitty. She does a sexy dance and drives all the men crazy, even her boss Drake Sullivan. After one such a performance with a cherry popsicle, she attracts more than she bargained for with his Demon lust and wanting to possess her.
WOW, so sexually charged and well written, I was hooked for my short ride! Beware do not read this alone but with your man not far away. You will need him after you read this! Loved Alana, how she went about to getting what she wanted, her Demon Drake. If you are looking for the most Alpha male, you will find him in Drake, very Dominant Male. Such a great story and I will be looking for more from these two!!!!!!
I didn't know a 66 page novella could make me cry so darn much! In Mahalia Levey's May release from Phaze books Embrace the Moment: Semper Paratus , I did just that as my heart broke for two lovers who struggled with their careers and with their relationship.

Review:
Normally I am not big on children in erotic books, however this story runs middle of the road on the Phaze heat meter. 3 Novas so even though the sex was hot and heavy, fully depicted and well done, the addition of a child at the end really didn't bother me. The baby played a very small part.
With that said are you ready for the review?
NICE!!!!!!! This well written story really tugged on my emotions and more than once I felt my stomach drop or swoop when the heroine was facing something difficult. *clapping* GREAT JOB!!!!
*SNAPS* Ms Levey on a job well done. Loved it :) can't wait for more :)

I was drawn into the story from the beginning. Throughout the story I would run the gamut of feeling close to tears for one or the other and wanting to pop them upside the head to knock some sense into their heads. I don’t want to give the story’s resolution away, but it is more than worth the read. I would love to read more of their missions and the growth of their love.

The scenes between Lark and Acer are full of both emotional and sexual tension—they don’t have an easy relationship and it’s taking a toll on both of them. When a storm and rescue situation forces Lark to make a decision which leaves Acer behind and in danger, it almost breaks her. Acer is rescued and returns to the team but when he realizes the emotional trauma that Lark went through, he decides that he has to let her go and breaks off their relationship. Their story isn’t done though and as they spend months apart, their lives change in a surprising and unexpected way.
Acer learns that no life is without risk and that life without love, at least for him, is no life at all and that he has to embrace every moment. The conclusion leaves both of our characters in a good place and with a happy outlook for their future together. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Levey’s work.
