An excellent new series by Trinity Blacio. Ms. Blacio does an excellent at world building, so much so that readers are mostly whiling to overlook the typographical errors that are common. Her characters and plots are so intricate and interesting that you overlook some of the other issues. This story was a little abrupt in the beginning because characters were talking about a prophecy/destiny thing that I didn't know but once the characters bring you around to it (in a way that works) all of that ends.

Bella and Raul are enmeshed in the end-of-the-world destiny thing that is putting a lot of pressure on people that have their own emotional problems, the added stress of this is almost too much. But their connection cannot be denied. While they are getting to know one another the evil starts coming out of the woodwork. Who's loyal and who is trying to set them up? Surely family will be the way to go. See Raul and Bella navigate through the destined path and into an actual, loving relationship. And since it's Trinity Blacio, throw in a little menage to spice things up. All around well done!

I. Can't. Wait. For. More!!!!!
4 Grandchildren from the God Ra/ children of Adish and his mate Suna-Sun and with the 4 children from Mother of Earth and her mate Demon King are destined to be together, mated to stop Adish and his curse of destroying the earth.
Okay it's more worded of Rhyme in the beginning but it's pretty much what it is.

Bella, raised human, adopted/stolen and raised by dark magic users, long story short she was abused by all 3 'family' members. Her only trust is in her best friend, Charley and Charley's BIG Creole family, voodoo and more,is flowing their their blood. Bella and Charley are linked as sisters but not blood sisters, there is more to that story, it's very emotional. Bella will have to deal with loads of attempt's on her life within days and there are people that would rather kill her then see then see others living. Bella is a part of the first destruction is she and her mate don't do the 'deed' life as she knows it will be....
Roul, alpha of his pack, Dom/Master, one of few that is part wolf and gargoyle, think a living wolf that looks like stone wolf, freaky but it's with a purpose. He hasn't met he mate but feels when she is hurt and died, basically he's hanging by a thread of sanity. He has to rely on his younger brother when a call comes in to him about his destin mate. What he thought his mate would be was his sub to meet his dark love but he got not only one mate but her sister, her family, other wolves from Ohio, demons, cats, etc. A simple mating to save Vegas is turned I to a whole new scene that he is a part of and not the master of. His little wolf is more stubborn and reckless then he thought, life will he interesting or so he thought.
It not just Bella and Raul story but also Charley, her wolfe boy Tank and the Vampire to bridge the two couples together and species together, Lucid is also the owner of the BDSM club that will play a big part of their destiny.

This story covered a lot of genres. It had shifters, triads, gods, demons, witches, gargoyles, etc. It wasn't hard to keep track of who is who due to the writing skill of Trinity. Bella learned early in life that not everyone is nice. Her adopted family was quite cruel to her and she finally saw them for what they were. People kept trying to kill her, but she finally found her mate and he worked tirelessly to keep her safe. I wasn't sure he would succeed for awhile. She had a best friend whose mother was quite powerful and also helped protect her. All of the characters of this book were interesting. I am looking for more of Trinity's books. This was fun to read and I couldn't put it down once I started.

I received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review. This is another great paranormal hit from Trinity Blacio and I loved the book. Bella is a wonderful submissive who eventually meets her mate, Raul, who is a dominate and powerful alpha wolf/gargoyle. There are a lot of beings who do not want them mated and make numerous attempts on her life. Lucid, a vampire, is fated to mate with both Bella and Raul and they form a powerful bond. The book is well written and I highly recommend it. I have read numerous books by Blacio and have enjoyed each and everyone of them.

Overall an enjoyable read, but unfortunately my version of the book felt like a draft version and not a edited version, so didn't want to rate it. I'm giving it 3 stars in the hope that The author spent the necessary time on edits and I just had a draft version.
Aside from the punctuation mistakes, and the missing and extra words, the book opens with the heroine talking to a cat, but this cat is never mentioned again. In one scene the hero says he can read her thoughts and doesn't like her putting herself down, in another scene he tells her she needs to talk to him because he can't read her thoughts, and a while later he reads her thoughts again.
The characters have such severe mood swings it gave me whiplash: in one paragraph she smiles, two lines later she is closed off and shut down. At one point the heroine's grandmother is crying and two lines later she smacks her husband and laughs. And the number of times a character bursts into the room with the answer the hero had just asked or details that drive the plot forward was a little ridiculous.
I liked the story and the characters, but unfortunately these issues pulled me continuously out of the story and really aggravated me. I sincerely hope the final version that is available for sale is in better shape and has better formatting, because I would be angry if I had paid for this version of the book.
Oh, and one of my biggest pet peeves: anal sex without lube?! Seriously?

Trinity Blacio has done it again. This book was hot, funny, sexy, and very intense. I just loved the whole meet and greet between Raul and Bella; so intense, snarky, and hot. The way the author uses words to make the scenes so intense made this a quick and fun read. I cannot wait to read more books with all these fantastic characters in it. Thank you NetGalley and Trinity Blacio for allowing me to read and give an honest review of this book.

This is the first book in a new series. It is a good bit darker than her previous books. It still follows her formula of two men who are very dominate and a female. The men are usually from the paranormal and the lady is usually human. This book centers on an ancient god who wants to destroy the earth and it's human inhabitants. I just didn't care for the story.This is the first book in a new series. It is a good bit darker than her previous books. It still follows her formula of two men who are very dominate and a female.

This is Book 1 in the Ring of Fire series. I think this is my favorite of all the books that I have read by Trinity Blacio. There’s so much going on in this book. Bella is almost killed several times and decides to leave town. Her family is the worst in the world but her 2nd family is the best in the world. And they also happen to be a family of witches. There are Raul’s wolves, Lucid’s vampires, demons, panthers, good witches and bad witches, Mother Nature, and a destiny that has to be met to save millions of people. Wow! I’m tired just writing all that. This is an amazing book but it does have a BDSM background so beware of the hot guys and kinky sex. What a great book. I can’t wait to read book 2. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book that I received from Netgalley.

This is the 1st book in the "Ring of Fire" series. This is the story of Raul and Bella fulfilling their destiny. There are many factions trying to stop that from happening. There is a lot of BDSM. The men are the Dom's and the women are the submissives. Each of Raul's and Bella's siblings will have to fulfill their destinies. The book was great. The story was so engrossing, I couldn't put it down.

The action starts almost from the beginning and is non stop! The BDSM aspects don’t really begin until near the end of the story when they get mated. Before that it is mostly spanking here and there. Even the mating scene isn’t too extreme for those who don’t care to read about this.
