Stoni Alexander - Vengeance review

I was here for this book! Danielle is a strong, independent woman. She is not someone to mess with! The chemistry between her and Cooper was palpable through the pages. But I really enjoyed how well these two worked together. They respected each other and they also kept secrets really well! I enjoyed the flow of this story and found myself unable to put this book down! I adore Stoni’s stories and highly recommend this read! 





Catch me… if you can

My sister’s murder gutted me… then I got angry. Real angry.

If you’re a sexual predator, I’m coming for you. I won’t let you hurt another woman, ever again. The hatred in my eyes will be the last thing you see.

Each kill blackens my shattered soul. Still, I have no regrets. That’s how messed up I am, how far I’ve fallen.

Evil would have sucked me into its dark, sinister vortex if it hadn’t been for him. He’s flat-out gorgeous, a total alpha, and so damn intriguing. I find him impossible to resist. Being with him gives me hope, something I haven’t felt in a long, long time.

The only blemish on his beautiful, fearless soul is that he’s spending every waking moment hunting me.
______________

VENGEANCE can be read as a standalone, but Stoni recommends reading DAMAGED first since Danielle Fox and Cooper Grant are secondary characters in that story.

RC Boldt - Beyond My Darkness cover reveal

 

 

RC Boldt has revealed the gorgeous cover for Beyond My Darkness!

Releasing: July 12, 2022

Cover Design: Hang Le

 

USA Today bestselling author RC Boldt delivers a seductively unique romantic suspense with a paranormal twist in Beyond My Darkness...

Twelve years ago, I fled, vowing to never again use my power. But everything changes when I break that vow and bring two bodies back to life in the morgue.

It sends me spinning directly into his orbit.

Arrogant. Menacing. Enigmatic. That's Bronson Cortez, the notoriously violent gang leader who remains elusive to authorities.

He breaks the law at every turn and answers to no one. But when he offers me a glimpse of what lies beneath that iron-clad exterior, I realize there's more to him than meets the eye.

The man who fiercely guards his heart somehow manages to claim mine.

But he doesn't know the truth about me.

I wonder if he could be the first to accept me for who I am--what I am.

I wonder if he'll be the first to see beyond my darkness.

Rachel Lacey - No Rings Attached review

This was the 2nd book in the series and the reader has had a glimpse of Grace, so I was excited to "meet her" in this book. Rosie has been her best friend for years and she would do anything for her. So when Rosie asks Grace to help out Lia, she says yes. Lia has heard about Grace, but has never met her. She knows she's asking a lot, but looks forward to meeting Rosie's friend. I enjoyed the way these friends met and watching their relationship evolve. They have a genuine care for each other and it was a no pressure meet. Grace was determined to not date, while Lia wore her heart on her sleeve. They were different but the chemistry between them was intense! I enjoyed the flow of this story and was invested in the trials Grace was going through and the fierceness of Lia's friendship! Another great read from Rachel Lacey!




From award-winning author Rachel Lacey comes the second installment in the Ms. Right series: a captivating romance about a reluctant bookseller finding love in unexpected places.

Lia Harris is tired of being the odd one out. She’s never quite fit in with her uptight family, and now that her roommates have all found love, she’s starting to feel like a third wheel in her own apartment. Fed up with her mother’s constant meddling in her love life, Lia drops hints about a girlfriend she doesn’t have. But with her brother’s London nuptials approaching, she needs to find a date to save face. Lia turns to her best friend, Rosie, for help, and Rosie delivers—with the fun, gorgeous Grace Poston.

Grace loves to have a good time, hiding her insecurities behind a sunny smile. Her recent move to London has provided her with a much-needed fresh start. Grace isn’t looking for love, and she hates weddings, having weathered more than her fair share of heartache. Friendships are different, though, so for Rosie’s sake, she reluctantly agrees to pose as Lia’s adoring girlfriend for the wedding festivities.

Both Grace and Lia are prepared for an awkward weekend, complete with prying family members and a guest room with only one bed. As it turns out, they get along well—spectacularly, in fact. Before they know it, the chemistry they’re faking feels all too real. But is their wedding weekend a fleeting performance or the rehearsal for a love that’s meant to last?

Everly Ashton - Don't Mind If "I Do" audio review

I love a good marriage of convenience! Mazzy finds herself in a bind and the only one she could come up with to help her out is her old friend, Nick. However, she and Nick didn't end their friendship on good terms. So she knows she's going to have to work hard to get through to him. I loved that these friends had to reconnect and get to know each other again. I enjoyed their situationship as they tried to maneuver through a new title and living arrangements. This story gave me all the feels! And I liked how the narrators brought these characters to life! I was here for this book and I look forward to reading future books from this author! 





It’s not every day the woman who broke your heart asks to be your wife.

Life is good. I’m single. I’m an emergency room doctor. And according to my hookups, I’m hot AF.

Then she walks back into my life.

I haven’t seen Mazzy Pembrooke since the night she betrayed me. So when she comes into my work asking me to make good on a childhood pact and marry her, I’m speechless.

She’s the last woman I’d want to marry—even if it’s pretend and with a definitive end date.

But after I find myself in a sticky situation at work, marrying Mazzy might just benefit me too.

Once we’re living as husband and wife under the same roof though, I struggle to remember that I hate this woman and the fake marriage doesn’t feel so fake anymore.

Don’t Mind if “I Do” is a fake marriage, friends to enemies to lovers rom-com loaded with laughs. No cheating. HEA.

Blurb:

From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn comes a brand new romantic comedy about a one-night stand gone completely wrong. Laugh out loud and steamy with a heart-stopping happily ever after.

I knocked up my best friend's sister.

Figured I would get straight to the point because how it happened is a mere snippet of the story I have to tell. The real meat and potatoes is what happened after.

Let's start with how she decided to inform me and Pacey the news . . . together. Imagine that nightmare. I was going into what I thought was a hockey marketing meeting and then BAM! I'm going to be a dad and my best friend/teammate is attempting to imprint my face with his fist.

It wasn't pretty.

Threats were tossed around, friendships were revoked, and then I was marched up to her apartment, suitcases in hand, and forced to live with her so I could take care of her every need. Given how much I've pined for the girl, you would think that wouldn't be a hardship. Wrong.

This is my one shot to win my teammate back. Pacey is the only family I've got, so hooking up with his sister isn't a mistake I can make twice . . . despite the fact that she's pregnant with my child.

But with every mood swing, every pair of pants that doesn't fit right, and every late night run to find the perfect donut, I'm finding it harder and harder not to fall for my best friend's little sister.

Especially when she kisses me...

Excerpt:

**ELI**

I’m a fun guy.

Some might say . . . neat.

A solid, trustworthy good time.

If you’re looking to have an amusing night out, I’m your man.

No drama.

No worries.

Just good old-fashioned fun.

I learned from a young age that life is short, and you have to fucking enjoy every second of it. So my rule is to say yes.

Say yes to as much shit as you can.

Hornsby, want to go to the pub down the street and get wasted with the locals?

Of course.

Hornsby, do you want to go skinny-dipping in the coach’s pool—when he’s home?

Absolutely.

Hornsby, do you want to fly to Vegas on our day off and run up the poker tables?

That’s a hell yes.

Living in the moment, that’s my motto, and up until now, that motto has served me well. It has taken me places I never thought I’d go. It has presented me with opportunities I never thought I would have.

But . . . and that’s a big but, a huge one.

This time, my yes has come back to bite me in the ass.

You see, it all happened on my birthday. We had an off day, high from a big win against the Calgary Barnburners. It was Valentine’s Day—yes, I’m a Valentine’s baby—and we went to the best singles bar in the city that would be crawling with women.

The drinks were flowing.

The conversations were engaging.

And I was by no means calling it a night anytime soon.

That’s when she walked into the bar.

In a hot pink dress that clung to every inch of her curvy body, she styled her platinum-blonde hair into long, silky waves, and the lipstick staining her gorgeous lips matched the color of her dress. There was no doubt about it—she was a total smokeshow.

Every guy she came within a ten-foot radius paused what they were doing to give her a very blatant once-over.

Unmistakably the hottest girl in the bar.

And as she saddled up next to me, unaware of my presence, it felt like the music stopped as she gently placed her clutch on the bar top. Casually, she leaned toward the bartender, her manicured nails drumming along the wood top as she sweetly asked for a gimlet with two lime wedges.

I was entranced.

I was hooked.

I was stolen for the rest of the night.

My mind wanted one thing.

Her.

She had my attention, and no one would steal me away.

No one would stop me.

Because in all honesty, I’ve had my eye on her for a while, ever since I met her two years before.

And that night . . . it was my chance. All excuses, all restrictions, they were tossed to the curb as I laid down the best tool at my disposal to get her to talk to me: it was my birthday.

And fuck, did we have a night. I can still remember the way her dress slid off her body as I held her in my arms. I can still vividly recollect that her lips tasted of lime and danger. And I can still smell her intoxicating perfume floating around me as I drove into her, one pulse after the other until we both came at the same time. Multiple times.

It was one of the best nights of my entire life.

But it had to end because we agreed it would be a one-night thing. So that morning, she slipped away undetected, and we both went back to our daily routine. Eat, sleep, and breathe hockey.

Was it the best birthday present I could ask for?

Absolutely.

Did she fulfill my every goddamn fantasy?

More than I could ever have imagined.

And if she came up to me and asked for more, would I oblige?

I would be hard pressed to say no.

Unfortunately, this isn’t a fairy-tale story of how my one-night stand turned into a romance for the ages, though.

Nope, that would be far too easy. This story, well . . . it exposes me as the man that I am. The man I feel to my very core. This is the story of how I wear the title “Ultimate Fuckup,” because not only did I accidentally get the girl in the hot pink dress pregnant . . .

But I broke bro code.

Because the girl in the hot pink dress is the sister of my teammate . . . and best friend.

J.R. Ward - Lover Arisen review

 I can't get enough of the Brotherhood! I was here for this newest installment to the BDB. Devina is a piece of work. We all know this but man! this book showed more of what she was up to. And let's just say, it's no good! I was completely sucked into this book and didn't want to put it down! I loved the interactions between Erika and Balthazar. Erika had not had an easy life. She was focused on her career. Not relationships. And the chemistry between her and Balz was palpable! I found myself gasping as I read this book. Little surprises kept coming up and I simply ADORED this book. Grab your copy today!




True love brings a deadly threat to the Black Dagger Brotherhood in this sizzling new novel in J.R. Ward’s #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Possessed by the demon Devina, Balthazar is once again on the hunt for the Book of Spells—and fighting an undeniable attraction to a woman. As a thief, he has stolen a lot of things…but he never thought his heart would be taken by another. Especially not a human.

As a homicide detective, Erika Saunders knows there is something otherworldly going on in Caldwell, New York. Mutilated bodies that cannot be explained are all over her case list—and then there are her nightmares in which she’s hunted by shadows and captivated by a mysterious man who is both a suspect and a savior.

When Devina’s wish for true love is finally granted, Balthazar and Erika unwittingly become the gateway for the rebirth of an old enemy of the Brothers. Will the very thing that brings them together lead to the ultimate destruction of the Brotherhood? Or will they have to lose everything in order to save the race’s most sacred defenders?
