The Regressor King
AJ Sherwood
Publication date: February 10th 2026
Genres: Adult, Fantasy, LGBTQ+, Romance

Death, Paradise, and the gods themselves–all rejected for the sake of love.

When King James Kronenscheld dies at the hands of the Demon King, he thinks his suffering is finally over and he can join his Edwin in Paradise. And, hey, at least he’d taken the Demon King with him, right?

But then the gods try to send James to Paradise WITHOUT his Edwin, and that is simply unfathomable. So he does the unthinkable–he turns it down and negotiates for one more chance to fix his mistakes.

Armed with memories and regrets, James regresses to before he was crowned. He is determined to woo the man he lost, even if it means facing down all his previous failures. For Edwin alone will James face Wraths and plagues, court politics, and demon kings. He will avoid the horrors of the crown and attain Paradise for them both.

Failing this time means losing Edwin forever. And that is not an option.

Between the town of Fayet suing them for magical appropriation, a looming budget crisis, and the butt cheek bandit’s reign of terror, the last thing Felix needs is to be saddled with his delinquent sister’s urchins over the holidays.

But Liam is desperate to prove he and Felix are meant to be together. Unfortunately, Liam’s pending divorce has taken a nasty turn, and juggling that and the Havers’s rumor mill is seriously affecting his mental health.

Meanwhile, a new threat is rising, putting all of Havers in danger. To face it, Felix and Liam have to put their differences aside. Because if they can’t, it’s not just the town that’s in jeopardy, it’s everyone they love, and Jena and Chase will be the first to fall.

What readers are saying:

If you want a romance with family drama and magic then this is the book to read. – Sandra, Goodreads

 

Weres and Warlocks was everything I hoped it would be. My sweet baby Felix finally got his happily ever after after all, not that there wasn’t some bumps along the way.
Such a great little holiday read. It has a little bit of everything in it. Some spice, some yearning, a little bit of magic, found family, and I love a good animal sidekick. I stayed up until 2am this morning to finish it because I couldn’t go another day without knowing how it ends.

-In a world of ink, Goodreads

 

I highly recommend reading this, especially if you like magic/paranormal books – Kerry Batchelor

But Chase has plenty of problems of his own, and how to make amends with Jena and win her heart is at the top of the list. Unbeknownst to his pack, Jena is his fated mate, and after her leaving town the first time almost killed him, he’s not letting her get away again—no matter what the backlash might be.

“I loved this story! It has everything I like in a good book, angst, anger, laughter, tears, fun, heat, love, loyal best friend, quirky side characters and an HEA. It doesn’t get any better than that. The storyline is solid, engaging, the world building is multi-dimensional and once you start you won’t want to put it down.” – @sunshinewhispers

Betrayed: Lords of Chaos MC (Road to Carnage Series Book 6) 

Hell comes in designer suits and with an attitude. The Lords of Chaos MC and the Castiello Family are well aware of the threat that looms over them. They have to tread carefully because the Jade Dragon Triad isn’t to be taken lightly whatsoever.

Demir Balik always stands ready for action as one of the Castiello’s highly-trained assassins. Now that he’s also a member of the Lords, he’s ready to kill anyone who poses a threat to his lover, Wolf, especially the Jade Dragon Triad.

Montgomery William-Price is a man born into money and one of the hottest and most coveted Doms at the Scarlet Letter BDSM club. Unfortunately for him, he’s caught the eye of a young man whom he finds utterly annoying, Ren. If that weren’t enough for him to worry about, his father’s poor business decisions have put their company in financial ruin. On the brink of bankruptcy, he gets an offer that he can’t refuse… not if he wants to live.

Ajay Khanna didn’t plan on getting into a relationship while doing his time in prison. It was supposed to be simple. But, no matter how hard he tried to fight his feelings for the giant, burly, and utterly sexy biker, Tim Davis, he lost. And that would be perfectly fine if only Tim knew who he really was. Can their relationship survive the truth?

Ren Mujin is the youngest son of the Dragonhead of the Jade Dragon Triad, so it goes without saying, that he doesn’t know the meaning of the word “no”. And when he hears it several times from the one man who makes his dreams wet, he decides to take matters into his own hands. He plans to get the sexy Dom at all costs.

Da Han Mujin, Dragonhead of the Jade Dragon Triad, is a man who always gets what he wants. And he wants all of the Chicago territory. That and his gorgeous new bodyguard, Jun De, who is trying to keep their relationship professional. Well, that just won’t do for Da Han.

“The Road to Carnage Series” is an electrifying tale of crime and passion where loyalties and love will be tested. It will take you on an intense ride through the savage and sultry world of the Lords of Chaos. Not for the faint of heart as this series is wild AF. This book is a part of a series where the story evolves as new characters are introduced. HFN/HEA. Not a standalone.

Great story and characters
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2024
Nicholas Bella Betrayed
There is so much to this story I’m not sure I know where to begin.
Monty is trying to save his company that has been in the family for generations. His dad has caused it to have more financial problems than Monty can fix. The solutions are not anything Monty wants.
Ren is the spoiled brat that isn’t happy even when he gets what he wants.
Ajax (Milan) and TT play a big part in this story. Ajax’s life has major changes.
Demir, while involved, seems to just be on the outside of major events…more yet to happen.
Vitra and Da Han are major players but then again naturally since they are incharge characters they have to be involved.
There are many more characters and side events going on so keeping track of all the characters and where they fit sometimes got challenging for me but they are all interconnected.
I was enjoying the story and was to the point I was ignoring all around me when it stopped. It didn’t come to an end but rather got to an intense part and stopped. This caused me frustration.
I really enjoyed the story. The characters can get a little overwhelming to keep track of at times but they all fit together.
The pace of the story moved right along.
Since this is an ongoing story I should have expected the stopping but I wish some of the characters would have been more resolved so I didn’t feel so unsettled. This series is really more episodes rather than each couple or event having a resolution while the overall group continues.
Now I have to wait for the next episode.

Caught Up in Chaos!
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2024
The publisher's description was accurate for this Road to Carnage continuation in that sultry, sexy, HOT men are caught up in intrigues and tangles reaching beyond surface appearance. There's a few Lords of Chaos (LOC) members in prison doing time and maintaining the LOC dominance in order to survive the dangerous environment of prison. The goings on at the prison are just the tip of the complex weave of relationships, obligations, and love interests Nicholas Bella writes in Book 6 of his Road to Carnage series. This is not a standalone book. However, if you're adventurous in the realm of erotic urban fantasy featuring hot men who are arrogantly sexy and demanding you'll want to start with Bella's first book, Outlawed. This series is never boring, never predictable in the usual MM romance genre, and is always interestingly enticingly arousing, dangerous, dark, and potentially violent.
Book 6 sets the reader up for SO many possible conflicts, outcomes and oh my goodness what the heck is going to happen to the men Bella has made me care about!
Posted in The New Haven Series

Come and Get Me: New Haven Series (The Odin Chronicles Book 1)

Noel: I’m finally free and able to patrol my own territory without Marco being by my side. I really appreciated everything he’s taught me, what can I say… that big, brutal bastard grew on me. However, before I can embark on my new life as a General, I have to fulfill a debt my Father owes to the dragon king, Evander. This should be interesting. At least I’m not going alone. Dante, newly-mated to Josef, will be going with me.

Elijah: Today is the day our plan finally comes to fruition. I’m praying that everything falls into place just as we have designed it to. But you never know with these sort of operations. Humans can be as unpredictable as supes. I do know one thing, Deacon better come and get me.

Vex: As a reward for my loyalty and service, my King has given me permission to pick the human I want to have turned into a werewolf. I’ve had my eye on the perfect guy, too. Whether he wants to be a wolf or not doesn’t matter to me. Once it’s done and he’s mine, he’ll learn to heel and obey.

Kendrick: It’s been a long time coming with years of strategic planning, from the night I killed my Alpha to the day I killed the dragon king, making me a ruler in my own league. I’ve had my eye on the Odin Colony for over a decade, but I knew I needed to wait until the right moment came to strike. They should fear me, because when the dust settles and the streets are flowing with blood, I will be standing victorious.

Warning: This series is highly addictive, and fans have complained that it’s all they can think about, oftentimes re-reading each book until their next fix.

Be further warned: This serial contains strong adult content not meant for sensitive eyes as each episode will be filled with dark, twisted, raunchy, and steamy scenes between powerful, sexy men that will either offend you or get ya revved up. This series will not be pulling any punches, and it won’t apologize for hurting your feelings, either. You’ll find no fluff and ruffles here. The vampires are not misunderstood, hopeless romantics looking for love. The werewolves are not cute and cuddly and the dragons aren’t the ones from your childhood. This is NOT a romance.

What an amazing journey into the next chapter of this series!!!
Old characters intermingle with new ones, it feels like coming home for a holiday event. These characters and their world are so well written and developed you can’t help but love their darkness.
This season we get to learn more about the dragons!!! Previous seasons barely touched on the centuries of history of this highly sexual species. Our favorite vampires and wolves are also featured, so don’t fret about not being able to keep up with the packs or Theoden and his children.

FYI in the Audible version: The narration is amazing. Matt Williams really helps you feel as if you are right there!

I can’t wait for the next installment!

When you open a book you want to get pulled in. You get this and more every time you read a Nicholas Bella book. He ups his game every single time. This series starts off where New Haven Series ended. You not only get familiar characters, which by the way was great to see. You also are introduced to new ones. More sexy vampires, dragons and wolfs to love or hate. And to me what brings you in is no matter if you see them as good or bad, he puts you inside their heads to see why. You get so involved with their story, you don't realize that you are even reading a book. You are living their lives.

This series will make your heart race, make you want a cold shower, have you laughing at moments and just want more. Who knew that Supes could be so sexy and kinky? Of course there is violence, cause not everyone gets along. There is greed of wanting more, plans to kill to get back what they feel they lost. The list goes on. They all want to be number 1.

This is a action packed book. You get what you expect and more. The boys are definitely back!!!!

Thoughts:
1.) Not my place to tell an author how to write his story so this is merely my thought. Perhaps each episode of each series should be written as bookends where the Story behind and ends in some fashion instead of carrying over to next series. I only say this from drawn out stories causing fatigue.
2.) Lots of characters in the series. Can too many characters diminish interest in main characters?
3.) Don' get me wrong, the sex scenes are intense, detailed and just plain naughty, but, can too much sex be too much in place of the conflicts, dangers, battles, etc.?
