Review – Only Ever Yours by Nikki Ash

57043053. sy475

Only Ever Yours 
(A standalone)

Publication Date: January 13, 2022

Genre/Tropes: Age-Gap/Intrigue/Contemporary Romance

Author: Nikki Ash

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:

Have you ever met someone and instantly connected with them?

Isaac and Camilla have that insta-falling-in-love kind of connection the first time they meet. While it takes just a bit for Camilla to come around to accepting those feelings, Isaac knows from the very first moment that Camilla is the woman he wants in his life forever.

I loved how as this story went along Isaac and Camilla’s lives were more intertwined than I would have originally thought and there was a lot more suspense and intrigue than I would have suspected.

All the passion and twists combined with a man who just wants to take care of his woman made this a wonderful contemporary romance.

Synopsis:

From USA Today Bestselling Author Nikki Ash comes Only Ever Yours: a standalone, insta-attraction, age gap romance.

Camilla

Desperate times call for desperate measures—like pretending to be my best friend and posing as a millionaire’s escort for the night.

I thought I had nothing left to lose, only I didn’t take my heart into consideration. What started as a one-time date turned into so much more in the blink of an eye. Because Isaac is used to getting what he wants, and even after learning the truth, he wants me. Unconditionally.

Even though my heart is on the line, I find myself falling in love with him. But all too soon, I learn that loving a powerful man like Isaac can be dangerous. And despite how careful he is with my heart, it’s still capable of breaking.

Isaac

From the moment we met, she’s taken up residence in my head and in my heart. I’ll do everything in my power to make her mine. But first, I need to secure a second date.

It’s more than chemistry. My parents had this too. She’s the one. Marriage, babies, forever… I want it all with her, and in return, I’ll give her the world.

When the unimaginable happens, love and loyalty are put to the test. But I’ll move heaven and earth to protect Camilla… even if it means breaking her heart.

Review – Alpha’s Revenge by Renee Rose and Lee Savino

58037022. sy475

Alpha’s Revenge; Shifter Ops #3 
(A standalone within a series)

Publication Date: January 11, 2022

Genre/Tropes: Paranormal/Shifter/Military Romance

Author: Renee Rose and Lee Savino

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:

A mix of paranormal and suspense with the push/pull of a man who’s found his mate, but lives in the land of denial.

Rafe is not only the Alpha of his pack, but he specifically never planned to find a mate. Logically he should know that he can’t stop the fates from that happening, but Rafe isn’t exactly logical when it comes to the woman whose scent is driving him crazy and the woman who deep down he knows is his mate, but he refuses to claim; a human named Adele.

Humans are fragile and after Rafe lost his parents at a young age he doesn’t want to take the chance to lose anyone ever again, especially a mate. Adele has all the qualities of the perfect mate, except for the very big vulnerability of being with him.

The push and pull of their back and forth might just drive him mad, unless the moon madness does it first.

Also, who or what exactly is Gideon?? The suspenseful story continues in the next book.

Synopsis:

PROTECTING MY PACK COMES FIRST. ALWAYS.

I learned the hard way what it’s like to lose people you love.

As an alpha, I vowed never to let that happen again.

That means keeping my focus. Never letting my guard down.

And, most of all, staying away from civilians – i.e. humans.

But the feisty chocolatier has me breaking my own rules.

The beautiful female tests my patience… and all my control.

I should stay away. I can’t protect the pack if I succumb to my desires.

But what if this is more than desire?

What if Fate matched me with this human, and she’s my mate?

If I don’t claim her, I’ll lose it all in the worst possible way.

Review – Deviant Knight by Tracy Lorraine

59976362. sy475

Deviant Knight; Knight’s Ridge Empire #4 
(#1 within a trilogy, #4 within a series)

Publication Date: January 13, 2022

Genre/Tropes: Trilogy/Dark/Mafia/Enemies-to-Lovers/New Adult Romance

Author: Tracy Lorraine

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:

Deviant Knight is a decadent return to the Knight’s Ridge Empire. Theo and Emmie are addictive, explosive and page turning excitement!

Theo was totally unexpected and also so much more. He’s always given off this intensity; radiating and pulsing right under his skin and it would basically take a cool breeze to make him explode. Yes, as the leader of his group, he’s cool, confident, and collected, but his intense passion that seems focused on one person…yeah, he’s hot, hot, hot!!!

Theo is a total deviant, and maybe just a tad crazy, but his intensity is insanely hot. Tracy took this couple up 50 notches and made this story suspenseful, wicked, and gripping from beginning to end.

Emmie is the perfect girl for Theo. She fights back at every turn, which is most likely why he’s drawn to her. She doesn’t sit around and take his crap and typically finds ways to irritate him more. Their push and pull, back and forth is so delicious it keeps the pages turning until the jaw dropping cliffhanger. I can hardly wait for the next book!!

Synopsis:

USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Tracy Lorraine brings you more in her dark mafia, high school bully romance series.

Whoever said to keep your friends close and your enemies closer… was right.

Being around her is the worst kind of torture.

Emmie is an obligation I can’t avoid… an oath I can’t break.

And having her in my life is the last thing I want or need. But thanks to my father, I have no choice.

This Family—this life, is my future, and I’m sure as hell not going to let some spitfire from the wrong side of town get under my skin and in my way.

When the time comes, I will take what I need and walk away. I’ll finally be free from her shadow and she will know the truth, even if it leaves her broken.

The only problem… she might not be the only one left in pieces.

Dear Reader

Deviant Knight is the fourth book in my angst-filled new adult mafia Knight’s Ridge Empire series. It’s the first book in Emmie and Theo’s trilogy. It’s a dark bully romance with themes that might make you squirm in all the right ways!

New Release – Matchmaking Mischief by A.R. Casella and Denise Grover Swank

Matchmaking Mischief, an all-new grumpy meets sunshine, opposites attract rom com from New York Times bestselling author Denise Grover Swank and USA Today bestselling author A.R. Casella is out now!

Willow

There are certain expectations when you’re born into a multigenerational family of matchmakers, which is why I fled my hometown and tried to build a life of my own.

But it turns out matchmaking is hard to quit, and I can’t stop trying to match the customers at the bakery I manage—including my boss and the tea shop owner next door—even though I’m hopeless at love.

So it seriously crimps my style when Alex Hunter starts coming around, working on his book at the bakery. He’s hot, grumpy, and thinks romance is a dirty word. Worse, he keeps distracting our customers.

He needs to go away. Which means someone needs to matchmake him.

And I’m just the girl for the job.

Alex

I’m a writer who can’t write, and lo and behold, I meet a matchmaker who’s allergic to love.

Me being me, I fall for her.

Most of the people in this town seem insane, but I have to turn my frown upside down and show Willow Mayberry that matchmakers deserve love too.

Fall in love today!

New Release – Doctor Mistake by J. Saman

Doctor Mistake by J. Saman is now live!

He’s my best friend’s older brother. My boss. And now my new roommate…

In the hospital, death always comes in threes. Apparently, so do mistakes.  Mistake number one? My fiancé, who I just learned is cheating on me. So much for being the strong, in control doctor who’s always on top of her game…  
Mistake number two? Knocking on the wrong door. 
The door I thought still belonged to my best friend now belongs to his older brother, my obnoxious, overly cocky, gorgeous-as-sin attending physician, Carter Fritz.   
The billionaire playboy gives me a place to stay, and a shoulder to cry on. But when he makes me feel seen for the first time in I don’t even know how long, I tell myself I don’t regret what was easily the hottest, most earth-shattering night of my life.   
That is until mistake number three comes along…and I’m staring down at a stick with two pink lines.  
Having a baby at this stage of my residency could cost me everything I’ve worked so hard to build. 
But Carter? He’s undeterred. He doesn’t just want more; he wants it ALL.  
Including me.   
But what happens if following my heart turns out to be my biggest mistake of all?
