Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

Your favorite Star Wars fanfiction couple is back and they are returning with more twists, more power, more violence, more romance, and more drama with ever. As Nira and Kylo's relationship strengthens and Nira escalates the ranks of the First Order, the couple finds several new obstacles that must be overcome in order for them to maintain their love. Will they prevail through the tests of romance? Set after The Last Jedi. I do not own any part of Star Wars but I do own certain characters within this book. Fully copyright @2018 ***** I gripped Nira's arm and began coaxing her onto my lap. As soon as I had made contact with her skin the warmth that she so often gave me rolled over me like a sweet heat wave that rocked me to my core. I left one of my hands on her thigh but took the other hand and placed it up on the nape of her neck. I then pushed my fingers into her hair and pulled her head towards mine. Her lips found mine and I completed the latch, then began passionately kissing her. We had to celebrate our success, didn't we? Something about the way that woman can work her way through a unit of twenty soldiers and slay every single on of them just gets to me. She was one impressive, seductive woman. And currently she was sitting in my lap, her arms wrapped around my neck, kissing me hungrily. I wrapped my arm around her petite body, relishing how I could nearly encase her with one arm, and kissed her harder. I pulled my lips away from hers, much to her dismay, and then began pressing sensual kisses down her neck, much to her satisfaction. She looked to the ceiling to expose her neck to me and I pressed her body into mine with my hand that was on the small of her back. *****

*BRITTANY BROSKI APPROVED* RANKINGS: #1 - starwars 6/10/2019 #3 - kylo 6/10/2019 #3 - kyloren 6/10/2019 He made eye contact with me with those intense brown eyes, and his vision traveled down my body, looking at every curve and flaw. He got down to my feet and looked all the way back up, taking in every part of me. I was scared now. I had no control over my body because of The Force and the way he looked at me, greedily, hungrily, left me terror-stricken. Kylo Ren climbed up swiftly onto the bed so he was laying next to me. He supported himself with his right elbow and placed his left hand on my lower stomach. His gloved hand was massive. His thumb and pinkie extended from each of my hip bones. I shut my eyes tightly. My breath significantly quickened. I felt his hand graze up my stomach, and I could hear him breathing heavily. His hand continued it's slow path up my chest and to my exposed neck. I swallowed down an impulsive scream that I couldn't help from rising as I felt him lean in towards me. His black locks fell onto my face and they smelled of mint. His hand was gently resting on my neck and his hot breath was on my ear. My heart was pounding and I was sure he could feel it. "It was so hard for me not to ravish you in front of everyone in Tunstead." His lips grazed my cheekbone. "The sensation was almost overpowering. You're lucky I have . . . Self-control." _____ This book is for readers who can handle maturity, violence, and who have a true appreciation for not only Kylo Ren/Adam Driver's beauty but for the Star Wars universe!
