Miss Lillian “Lily” Henderson prides herself on being an intellectual, possessing great skills for politics and analytical research, she relishes a pleasant debate among any individual who shows the same interests. Unfortunately, in the year 1904, Lady’s of her age are pressured by society to acquire a husband, produce children and fulfill their housewifely duties. Lily refuses the notion of marriage, not wanting to give up her dreams of becoming a scholar or even a teacher of politics, but in this age there’s no equal rights for women or children, so she opts for protesting against immoral activities, which has branded her as a trouble maker.

Christopher Farnsworth has returned home from the military to manage his father’s factory. As a well structured and highly sophisticated man, Christopher has no intentions of relinquishing his bachelor lifestyle. Unbeknownst to him, his Aunt Zelma has thought out a scheme to remedy his situation. Zelma is known for her quirky, yet witty nature and has raised her nephew, Christopher, since the day he was abandoned by his parents. When Zelma issued a letter to her dear friend requesting a gathering for several young people, her plan was set into motion.

After reluctantly agreeing to attend her mother’s dinner party, it was just a matter of time before disaster struck for Lily.  What was supposed to be a friendly gathering turned out dreadfully chaotic. As if losing her best friends’ engagement ring in a huge pot of soup was not horrible enough, Lily had to embarrass her parents further by accepting a wager from Christopher, a man she didn’t know, but was instantly enticed by his masculine features. Both Lily’s and Christopher’s competitiveness leads to higher stakes and embarrassing consequences, but will they be able to withstand the immense passion and desire rising within them? Or will they be able to see through the ruse Zelma has set for them?

Winner Takes All is absolutely the most charming and pleasantly amusing story by far. The characters exuded vibrant and flamboyant emotions, the plot flowed perfectly throughout the story and the setting was realistically depicted. The increasing passion between Lily and Christopher is emotionally intense and the overall story has plenty of humor. Sandra Sookoo has composed a magnificent and breathtaking love story of two, very intelligent and strong willed individuals, who would not have given love a chance if fate did not lend a hand. Winner Takes All by Sandra Sookoo will certainly be recommended to any reader who is passionate about historical romance genre.

In a time when the Ancient ways of the God and Goddess have long vanished, it is imperative that each female Vii, nearing the time of her Awakening, come before the Old Crone. The Crone has vowed to carry out a ritual, which will shed light on the meaning of their birthright, revealing the sacrifices made for them and all others. She will guide each child on a mystical journey, taking them back in time to a period known as “The Age of Dusk”, within a dimension called “TERAH”, a universe all its own, filled with an infinite amount of realms. For the child, there will be many revelations concerning their heritage, why their people relocated to Earth, and what happened to their own planet. They will also endure every emotion and every sensation felt by their ancestors, unable to change anything. For once it begins there is no stopping.

The Age of Dusk was a time of many prophecies and curses, an age where mortals and immortals lived together and the Good of Many Lights were constantly battling the Darkness of Evil. Evil lurks among the twelve bloodlines that existed, slowly corrupting the families within, turning them against the old ways. King Dias sets on the throne of Terah, representing the Strygi families, the Good of Many Lights. Samanthra Lampir, High Priestess of the bloodlines, is one of Dias’ many daughters and the only one he is concerned with, for, if she Awakens, she will bring forth a horrible prophecy, cursing them all to their doom. Because of this, Dias is insistent that Samanthra frequently consume a potion made to prevent her Awakening, but will it be enough to contain the Awakening residing inside of her or will a higher power dare to interfere with Dias’ intensions?

Samanthra is well- known for her mischievous and curious nature, always stumbling into trouble wherever she goes. It was only natural that Dias assumed she’s the one who brought forth an ominous and unfamiliar storm, which happens to mysteriously appear and heading straight toward the castle with an increasingly amount of deadly force. Furthermore, its timing could not be worse, since the festivities for Beal-Tene were already underway. Naturally, Samanthra could not resist the urge to uncover who or what was behind the source of the storm, oblivious to the fact she was about to encounter far more than she ever imagined.

C.H Scarlett has portrayed an impeccably flawless and exceptionally intricate work of fiction. The plot, characterizations and world building is brilliantly prepared and thought-out. While reading this story, BOUND by BLOOD, I experienced the intense, overpowering, passion hidden within its pages and even sensing the author’s zealous desire for her talent of writing. The penetrating attractions between the characters were overwhelmingly heartfelt. I will be looking forward to reading further books by C.H. Scarlett and will positively be recommending this story to any reader  who is interested in Paranormal, Fantasy and Erotic Fiction genres.
