Blurb:

My royal blood flows black with twisted secrets.
I am a beast who wears a crown.
Heir to a kingdom cloaked in corruption and depravities.

The time has come to claim my princess.
An innocent hidden away from my dark world.
Till now.

Her initiation will require sacrifice and submission.
There is no escaping the chains which bind her to me.
Surrendering to my torment, as well as my protection, is her only path to survival.

In the end…
She will be forever mine.

Beasts & Bourbon is a dark romance. If you don't like a splash of shock, a dash of taboo, and a heavy dose of sex, then don't take a sip of this Top Shelf cocktail.

The Top Shelf Series can all be read as standalones, but here is the series in order for those who would prefer to read them that way.
Bastards & Whiskey
Villains & Vodka
Scoundrels and Scotch

Beasts & Bourbon

Review:

"He was my Prince Charming in this dark lunacy, and I would wear my tiara proudly."

Prince Roman's royal blood flows back to twisted secrets and archaic ways. It is time for him to claim his innocent princess, and initiate her into the dark and twisted world, and require submission in mind, body, and soul, binding her to him for the rest of their lives. Her surrending to Roman's torment is the only path for her survival. Will Roman and his bride to be get out alive, or will they have to face the consequences of the dark world Roman is apart of?
As with all of Alta Hensley's Top Shelf Series, I enjoyed reading this book. It was dark, and twisted with a splash of taboo. I have read the Top Shelf series from the beginning and loved every minute of it, and this book was no different. I loved Prince Roman, and his dark and twisted ties, and loved his love interest Cheri.
If you love dark and twisted tales, then check out Beasts & Bourbon and the rest of the Top Shelf series today! 4.5 ⭐ out of 5⭐

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds. I was sure everything would be okay if I had them. It wasn’t. The fate of our people is in my hands and I know we’re better off if I’m alone. After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. Goodreads | Amazon   So I am rereading the Bonds that Tie series to read the newest release Broken Ties. You can find my  Original Review Here . This is a romantasy why choose romance full o...
