Author: Amelia Wilde

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Jumping right into where we left Bristol and Will in Blackmail, Bristol is trying to move on after Will literally left her jobless and walked away from anything that involved his feelings…so when a new temp job takes her to the same building where Will also happens to work, could it be fate trying to reconnect what he broke?

Bristol is sassily delicious and yes, I’m totally sticking with that word. While she never was a wallflower before Will sold his company, she really takes control of what she wants now that Will is in her path again. Getting the smallest of smiles from him, opening up, it’s the small things she realizes that make everything worthwhile and she knows she wants more and more, especially his side that he refers to as the monster.

Will still tries to keep Bristol at arms length, while pulling her in over and over again, so as much as he wants to keep her, his inner monster will only destroy her. He couldn’t live with himself if he destroys her…but, letting her go becomes more difficult every single day. Especially when she engrains her life into his and the more she does the more he can’t imagine a life without her.

Between the Anderson twins, Will’s brothers, and the interconnection between the other Midnight Dynasty stories, and just getting even more in depth with Will and Bristol, I was so drawn into this book that I really didn’t want it to end. Although, that ending!!!!! GAH!! Yeah, another reason why I never wanted the book to end because now I’m dying and need answers!

Synopsis:
Will Leblanc takes risks in his private equity firm and in the underground boxing ring, but nowhere else.

Definitely not in love. Which is why he had to walk away.

Except Bristol Anderson needs his help. More than that, he wants to protect her.

But no one can protect her from him. He has a dark side. A violent side. She’s an unbearable temptation. He’s barely holding back.

What happens when the monster inside him gets loose?

Welcome to the Midnight Dynasty… The warring Morelli and Constantine families have enough bad blood to fill an ocean, and their brand new stories will be told by your favorite dangerous romance authors

Cover Reveal – The Baby Blitz by Lex Martin

Title: The Baby Blitz
Author: Lex Martin
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: Najla Qamber

Release Date: February 21, 2023
BLURB
Two pink lines won’t change the bad blood between us.
I haven’t always hated my brother’s best friend, but Michael Oliver gets under my skin and brings out the worst in me. He knows how to push my buttons, and I relish pushing all of his. He betrayed my trust years ago, so I’ve made it my mission in life to aggravate him until he admits he was wrong.
When his sister’s wedding brings us together, Michael suggests a truce for one night. If only he weren’t so handsome and smart, maybe I could resist the allure, but I’ve always been a little impulsive, and this man is my ultimate temptation. After years of pent-up frustration and unrequited lust, I finally let down my guard, and that’s all it takes for us to combust.
But like all bad decisions, the morning after brings a reckoning, and I leave his hotel room swearing to never waste another moment of my time pining after him. Who needs that grumpy jerk warming her bed? Not me.
I don’t let myself think about that steamy night together, or how it pained me to hear about his football injury, or how much I know he wants to get drafted so he can help his family. Because I’m cutting Michael out of my life for good.
Only the two little pink lines mean I can’t forget him. Even if I desperately want to.

Cover Reveal – Tempt by Melanie Harlow

TEMPT, an all-new steamy age gap, small town romance from USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author Melanie Harlow is coming November 21st, and we have the smoking hot cover!

You’ve heard the story about the wedding planner who falls for the groom?
Well, this is the one where she falls for his father.
And that groom? He’s my ex.

I didn’t realize who the gruff, gorgeous older man was the night he rescued me from a creep in a Manhattan hotel bar. All I knew was that a hot, bearded stranger with a protective streak showed up right when I needed a reminder that real gentlemen still exist.

(Although he left his manners behind after asking me up to his room.)

It was the hottest night of my life, but I never thought I’d see the former Navy SEAL again.

Imagine my surprise at the rehearsal dinner one week later, when my sexy one-night stand is introduced as the father of the groom. Even more surprising? That temptation we felt in New York was no fluke.

In public, we pretend there’s nothing between us.

In private, we can’t keep our hands off each other.

The situation is beyond complicated. Zach never even knew he’d fathered a child until recently, and he wants to earn his son’s trust and respect. As for me, I’m looking for a man who wants to start a family, and Zach has made it clear he’s not that man. He’s fifteen years older, newly divorced, and he lives across the country.

But no matter how many times we draw the line, we keep crossing it.

Nothing so wrong should ever feel so right.
