About Savage Lies

Brought down by a kiss.

Blackmailed by the class MVP.

On the brink of destruction.

Moving to a new town and taking on a new identity was supposed to keep me safe. News flash, it didn’t. Instead, it put me right into the most dangerous place imaginable. Cole Savage’s line of sight.

Stupid, perfect, and one of four members of the untouchable elite. They’re the Academy’s football stars, gods among their peers. And from the first day of school, he put a target on my back. All because of one stupid kiss.

My secrets are dark and dangerous. But based on the fury that drives Cole to ruin me, so are his. We’re both facing destruction, and he’s determined not to let me win.

He doesn’t know it, but he’s met his match. I’ll use his hate, and I’ll teach him that it burns as hot as his lust. And if he wants a war, I’ll give him one.

Savage Lies is an enemies-to-lovers, new adult, high school bully romance with plenty of angst. This book contains mature content that some readers may find disturbing. It is not a standalone and does end in a cliffhanger that continues with a ton of heat and a HEA in Savage Truth.

Blog Tour – Playing by the Rules by Monica Murphy

Playing by the Rules by Monica Murphy is now live! 

Camden Fields is the star quarterback of our college football team.

Quiet.

Smart.

Absolutely gorgeous.

He’s the man all the women on campus rave about. And while he’s had a few casual hookups over the years, it’s never anything serious. Cam doesn’t do serious.

He also doesn’t do me.

See, I’m his best friend’s little sister, and whenever we’re around each other, he’s always warning me that I’m off limits. That nothing can ever happen between us.

But I see the way he looks at me when he thinks I’m not watching. The heat in his gaze. The hunger. He can deny it, but that man wants me.

I want him too.

I’m tired of always being the good girl and doing what everybody expects. For once, I’m going to break all the rules that have restrained me my entire life.

I’m going after Camden Fields.

And no one can stop me.

EXCERPT

LAIKYN POV

“Here.” Tyson offers me the second glass of whiskey and I look from it to him, making no attempt to accept it. “I didn’t drug it,” he growls.

“I don’t believe you.” I lift my chin.

He rolls his eyes and throws the one he’s offering me back, proving that it was, in fact, not laced with something. Setting both down on the tray, he walks over to me, closing the distance and I stiffen. “Why would I drug you?”

I swallow nervously but answer honestly. “Makes me compliant. Easier to take advantage of.”

Reaching up, he runs his hand through what’s left of my bun, pulling bobby pins loose and letting them drop to the floor at our feet. The long, wet curls fall down across my bare back and over my shoulder, some falling in front to frame my face. “That would be too easy.” He finally speaks, his knuckles brushing it off my shoulder. “I want you to feel me holding you down. I want you to hear yourself gasping for breath when I force you to come. And I want your eyes on mine while I make you cry. I’ll never drug you, Lake, because I don’t need you compliant. You’re now my wife, and I can take whatever I want from you.”

BLURB:

HIS LADY

A Lord is to marry after he graduates from Barrington University, an elite college for the rich. A Lady’s job is to help him fit into a world unaware of his secret society. The Lord does not

get to choose who he spends the rest of his life with. But there is always an exception to the rule. And I just so happen to be his.

I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.

I was to wed a Lord of my parents’ choosing. Wealth can’t buy you everything, or I would have had freedom years ago. Instead, my strict parents made sure I lived a dull life in a mansion resembling a prison.

But on my wedding day, I was handed over to another man—an even more ruthless Lord that my family hated. Tyson Riley Crawford only wanted me for his revenge. I’m nothing more than a debt to be paid. I didn’t have a say in the

matter. So when I said my vows before the congregation, I knew I’d break them. Consequences be damned.

Too bad I underestimated my husband and didn’t realize he was more determined to punish me than I was to succeed at escaping. He’ll make me choke on those words I used to bind myself to him.

Yet even he couldn’t have seen what our future held. Ultimately, we’re all just pawns in a game that none of us can win unless you’re willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice … and even that may not be enough.

About the Author:

✔️Enemies to Lovers

✔️Hockey/Sports Romance

 ✔️RH/Why Choose

✔️Plus-sized Heroine

✔️New Adult/College Romance

 KINGS OF CYPRESS POINTE crossover (no need to read that series first)

 BLURB

Everyone knows not to cross the campus d-bags. On or off the ice.

You don’t sneak into their house, thinking no one’s watching. You don’t ransack their bedrooms, tripping over hockey gear as you rummage through their things. And you definitely don’t get caught with your head under one’s bed and your size-sixteen backside pointed right at their camera.

Unless, of course… you’re me.

I was so desperate to get my hands on their brotherhood’s Book of Sins that I did all the above. I was in search of proof that could incriminate Tate, my soon-to-be stepbrother and former member of the frat. But not only do I come up empty, I’ve now unknowingly invited three shadows to darken my world.

The most broken and twisted of them all—Micah, Vince, and Ash.

They promise no one has to know I trespassed on their territory. My secret is safe with them, safe from the others, but there’s a cost.

Their silence for my freedom.

I’ll be theirs to control, to own—these sick devils with perfect smiles masking their cold hearts. And if I can’t find a way to beat them at their game… they’ll break my world and my soul into a million tiny pieces.

Review – Depravity Delivered by Marie James

Depravity Delivered; Mission Mercenaries #4
(#4 within a series)

Publication Date: April 6, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Dark/Kidnapping/Captivity/Abduction/Suspense Romance

Author: Marie James

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
I lost track of time, staying up until all hours of the night while reading Depravity Delivered.

While reading about this dark topic isn’t necessarily new to me, the emotionally dark places that Marie James took me were. While it should have, and at times did, feel wrong to read about the experiences that these two characters experienced it also was like nothing I’ve read before. It was captivating, heart breaking, disturbing, and weirdly understandable. We live in a cruel world and there is nothing that bonds people faster than shared trauma. There is certainly enough of it going around that we all have some form of trauma and it helps us bond as we meet new people, but seriously it is nothing like Ayla and Nash experience.

Why am I being vague…this book is to be experienced and there really isn’t a way to talk about what Ayla and Nash go through without major spoilers. So, just know that this book does not keep any of the darkness “off the page”, it is full on, so if you need to know triggers before reading, please read them.

While this book may seem horrifying, it is actually about two people who experience one of the worst things that can happen to you and through their trauma they bond and help one another heal. There were so many times I asked myself, how are these two going to come out the other side, but in a weird way, thankfully they had each other.

I am actually loving this series and the dark places James has been willing to delve. It’s been eye opening and yes, disturbing, but also an amazing reading experience.

Synopsis:
The job I took was personal for my boss, but my abduction quickly made it personal for me.
There’s no forgiveness for the things they made me do to her.
It would be easy to point fingers, but what about the part of me that liked it?
Something triggered that sickness and left me needy.
I made a choice to protect her when I could, but the need to hurt her again is always in the back of my mind.
The crazy thing is, I see that same darkness in her eyes when she looks at me.
If we survive captivity, there’s still no guarantee we’ll survive each other.

Cover Reveal – A Little Taste by Tia Louise

Tia Louise has revealed the covers for A Little Taste!

  

Releasing April 13, 2023

A LITTLE TASTE
By Tia Louise

Aiden Stone is a six-foot-two former Marine with a permanent scowl, dark hair, and dreamy blue eyes.

He’s the oldest of the Stone brothers, and his “by the book” family has battled mine for control of our small town for generations.

The last thing I should do is sleep with him. Or nearly run him down with my truck. Especially since he’s sort-of my new boss…

It doesn’t help that my grandmother (the mayor) is a former magician, and my mom is a psychic (sort-of)… And my dad died in a failed escape-artist attempt (that my mother is convinced was a murder).

Trust me, I know crazy, but I’m just plain ole Britt Bailey, Shania Twain-loving, non-magical forensic photographer. Yes, I take pictures of dead things, but I don’t see them in my bedroom at night.

I only want to see one thing in my bedroom at night, and when I’m called home to help Sheriff Stone on an investigation, he actually stops frowning for a minute, and my teenage fantasies get very real.

It’s a terrible idea. We work together, he’s seven years older than me, he’s a single dad, he hates all things magic, but a little taste, and we can’t say no.

Until the town crime wave turns personal, putting everything on the line, and we’ll need more than a magic bullet to get our happily ever after.

(A LITTLE TASTE is a small-town, grumpy single-dad romance with a touch of light suspense and lots of tasty spice. No cheating. No cliffhanger.)

New Release – A Reluctant Roommate by Angela Casella

I don’t have the hots for my roommate… If I say it enough times, will I believe it?

A Reluctant Roommate, an all-new hilarious forced-proximity, brother’s best friend, romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author Angela Casella is available now!

I don’t have the hots for my roommate… If I say it enough times, will I believe it?

Drew

Some people might say I’m allergic to change. They’d be right.

I’ve lived in the same house my entire life, worked at the same company since I graduated from college, and hung out with the same three friends since middle school. If you think that sounds boring, you’re in agreement with my new roommate—my sister’s best friend, Andrea Ruiz.

Andy has always been a ball buster, a hell raiser…and she’s also the sexiest woman I’ve ever met. I let her move in because she was down and needed a place to stay, but she’s taking a hammer to my carefully constructed life.

Andy

My grandmother’s always told me I’m too impulsive for my own good. Should’ve listened to her, I guess. I posted a few (very tame) videos of my feet on a platform known for its racy content, and suddenly found myself homeless and out of a job. But Drew took pity on me and gave me a place to live, and now the Fairy Godmother Agency, a husband and wife P.I. team who thrive on anarchy, is offering me a job.

Drew’s so solid and reliable. I know my chaos is driving him crazy, but there’s a part of me that likes driving him crazy. I want to crack his shell. Because in the brief moments when he lets himself relax his rules, he’s surprisingly irresistible.

For years, all I dreamed about is getting away.

Starting over… a new life.

Far, far away from where I grew up.

My future had been mapped out long ago.

A future that begins at eighteen when I’m ripped away from the only home I’ve ever known and thrust into a world darker than the one I was running from.

When I’m dragged around like a rag doll with a price on my head, the only person I can think about is him.

The dark and sinful man who turned my life upside down.

He could save me. I know he could.

But there’s just one problem.

He’s going to have to find me first.

#4 Callum Duquette. Placekicker for the Boston Tomcats. Former underwear model. NICKNAME: Duke.

I thought the most annoying thing about being a single dad was that my friends were always trying to find me a date. Until a sassy British ray of sunshine bumps into me at a bookstore. One accidental butt grab, a viral photo, and a lot of misunderstandings later, I find myself in a fake relationship with a movie star.

Now I’ve got my friends off my back, but the cheeky Brit has complicated my life even more.

It’s getting harder to pretend I still want this to end after my team’s game in London.

I thought we were only faking it.

About Savage Lies

Brought down by a kiss.

Blackmailed by the class MVP.

On the brink of destruction.

Moving to a new town and taking on a new identity was supposed to keep me safe. News flash, it didn’t. Instead, it put me right into the most dangerous place imaginable. Cole Savage’s line of sight.

Stupid, perfect, and one of four members of the untouchable elite. They’re the Academy’s football stars, gods among their peers. And from the first day of school, he put a target on my back. All because of one stupid kiss.

My secrets are dark and dangerous. But based on the fury that drives Cole to ruin me, so are his. We’re both facing destruction, and he’s determined not to let me win.

He doesn’t know it, but he’s met his match. I’ll use his hate, and I’ll teach him that it burns as hot as his lust. And if he wants a war, I’ll give him one.

Savage Lies is an enemies-to-lovers, new adult, high school bully romance with plenty of angst. This book contains mature content that some readers may find disturbing. It is not a standalone and does end in a cliffhanger that continues with a ton of heat and a HEA in Savage Truth.

Camden Fields is the star quarterback of our college football team.

Quiet.

Smart.

Absolutely gorgeous.

He’s the man all the women on campus rave about. And while he’s had a few casual hookups over the years, it’s never anything serious. Cam doesn’t do serious.

He also doesn’t do me.

See, I’m his best friend’s little sister, and whenever we’re around each other, he’s always warning me that I’m off limits. That nothing can ever happen between us.

But I see the way he looks at me when he thinks I’m not watching. The heat in his gaze. The hunger. He can deny it, but that man wants me.

I want him too.

I’m tired of always being the good girl and doing what everybody expects. For once, I’m going to break all the rules that have restrained me my entire life.

I’m going after Camden Fields.

And no one can stop me.

New Release – A Drop of Pretty Poison by Kelsey Clayton

They say that when a love burns too bright, it’s bound to burn out—especially those wrapped in secrets and doused in lies.

A Drop of Pretty Poison, an all-new angst-filled, brother’s best friend, new adult romance and the second book in the Pretty Poison Trilogy from USA Today bestselling author Kelsey Clayton is available now!

They say that when a love burns too bright, it’s bound to burn out—especially those wrapped in secrets and doused in lies.

After a risk is taken and a confession is made, one relationship heats up while another hangs in the balance. When everything rests on shaky ground, we find the stability we need tangled up in each other. Guards are let down and trust is repaired, but all vulnerability comes with a side of weakness. And the betrayal that hits us is one we never saw coming.

Revenge is a dangerous game, especially when fueled by jealousy. We’ll do whatever it takes to protect our own, even if it means seeking help from unlikely sources. While every favor comes at a price, choices made in distress have a tendency to backfire.

As our world comes crashing down around us, loyalties are put to the test. Nothing should be able to shatter the promises we made, but there’s a fine line between tenacious and toxic.

Someone should’ve warned us that even a drop of pretty poison will spread until all that’s left are shattered pieces and broken memories.

The Seduction by Jennifer Bernard is now live!

https://geni.us/TheSeduction
Available on All Platforms

Everything changed one night in Lake Bittersweet…

Successful model Bliss Gault is known for her smile and her sunshiny attitude. The youngest child of rock legend Steven Gault, everyone sees her as the flaky, flighty member of the family. And why wouldn’t they, when she has a habit of getting in and out of messes by the skin of her teeth? But when she returns to Lake Bittersweet for her sister’s wedding with an international mess in tow…this time, she might be in over her head.

FBI Agent Earl Granger is in Minnesota to help an old Army buddy, using “head of security” for Bliss Gault as his cover. Within seconds of meeting her, the stunning blond is making him crazy with her whimsy and her sage-burning. He’s a gruff, fact-focused professional. There’s no way he’s letting her distract him from his real purpose—discovering the identity of his father. She can save the smiles and seduction act for someone else.

But fate has something very different in store for these two total opposites. From international mayhem to a passion they never saw coming…some seductions are impossible to resist.

Blog Tour – Bayou Beloved by Lexi Blake

Bayou Beloved by Lexi Blake is now live! 

When a woman returns home to Louisiana’s Butterfly Bayou, her high school crush finally notices she exists, in a small-town contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake.

Quaid Havery always planned to follow in his father’s footsteps. He went to law school and then came home to take over his dad’s legal practice. Being the only lawyer in small-town Papillon, Quaid is pretty sure he’s seen everything. After all, he was once asked to sue an alligator for defamation of character. He’s prepared for anything the town can throw at him, until he encounters Jayna Cardet. She’s gorgeous, smart, funny, and unlike any woman he’s met before…Except he has.

Jayna never thought she’d return to Papillon, but when her life gets turned around she must learn to live in the close-knit community again. She certainly never dreamed she would practice law in her little town, but she finds herself in the courtroom, and the opposing counsel is her former high school crush, Quaid. It wouldn’t be so bad if the man had developed a beer belly, but Quaid is more handsome than ever. And instead of ignoring her like he did in high school, he’s made it plain that he wants to get to know her.

Thus begins a courtship destined to end in a wedding or a war. Either way, the locals are popping some corn and eagerly awaiting the outcome.

Review – To Claim a Mate by Poppy Ireland

To Claim a Mate; Redwood University #3
(#3 within a series)

Publication Date: April 6, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Trilogy/New Adult/Suspense/Paranormal/Shifter/Fated Mates Romance

Author: Poppy Ireland

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Thrilling non-stop action, passion and laughs all rolled into the amazing conclusion of this fated mates series.

The Redwood University trilogy has been one of my favorite indulgences these past few months. I have looked forward to each book release as my twitchy one-click finger hovers over the keyboard clicking YES, while internally shouting GIMME GIMME GIMME, and outwardly remaining calm enough so my husband doesn’t have me committed. As you can tell, Poppy Ireland has been cemented within my new favorite author picks.

Jumping into the last part of this story; Nicole, Alexi, Juniper, Corbin, and the rest of the magical crew work tirelessly to bring Alpha Jones down. He’s evil, plain and simple, but bringing him down won’t be quite so easy. While this book is about good fighting bad, it also includes so much more. It’s a story about found family, love after loss, standing up to injustice, love for your friends, love for your neighbor, and love for your mate. As much as I giggle every single time Corbin is on the page, his moment with his mate under the moon…yeah, I don’t want to say too much as to give spoilers, but I was totally choked up with a lot of tears.

Honestly, I think it’s what I love most about reading magical/sci-fi/fantasy/paranormal worlds is the inclusivity. No matter what world you live in, whether you are blue, purple with horns, sparkle and have wings, or have a very large appendage-yeah I’m talking about you Corbin…LOL…everyone wants to be included, respected, and loved, and at the end of the day it’s a beautiful thing.

To Claim A Mate is tense a lot of the time, but there were moments of laughter too and count on Corbin or Juniper for most of the levity, but I loved it. Nicole and Alexi fight with everything they have to take down his father, but together anything is possible.

On a side note…Cristian and a certain redheaded love interest? I’m totally down for that book to happen.

Synopsis:

Welcome back to Redwood University where nothing is as it seems… and I’m stronger than anyone expects.

*Final synopsis will be revealed at a later date.

The series should be read in order for the best reading enjoyment.

Release Date: March 28

A new stand alone fake relationship romance set in the glitz and glamour of the Cruel world from USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde…

The most eligible bachelor in New York City just asked me to be his fake fiancé.

Gavin King is six and a half feet of delectable billionaire with a devil’s smile that says he knows exactly what he’s going to do to me later. Because he has.

 

Three years ago, I caught him in the shower and promptly fell into his bed. But neither of us were relationship material. Not to mention I’d just broken up with his best friend.

 

Now, I’m back in the city and he has a plan:

Go to his cousin’s wedding.

Convince his family that he’s not an eternal bachelor.

Post a huge elaborate break up later.

 

With those big puppy dog eyes begging me to agree, claiming I’m the only one who can pull it off, I say yes. What could go wrong? Other than pulling it off so successfully that the line between real and fake blurs.

 

When my family flips the whole script, I can’t see a way out. And I’m starting to wonder if I even want one.

Review – Cruel Devious Heir #2 by Caitlyn Dare

Cruel Devious Heir #2; Heirs of All Hallows #4
(#2 within a duet, #4 within a series)

Publication Date: March 30, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Book Duet/New Adult/Dark/Opposites Attract/Bully Romance

Author: Caitlyn Dare

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Oakley and Tally were put through the wringer in the second half of this duet. Emotionally and physically they both had quite a rough road and that’s not even talking about the relationship between the two of them.

From the beginning until the end I couldn’t set the story down. I had to know what would happen in this gripping tale. It was up and down and in the end these two really worked hard to deserve their HEA.

While in the first book Oakley began as a selfish, douchecanoe, by the end he’d already been winning my heart. In this book his transformation continued and Oakley became the man I was hoping for. I was so happy that he stepped up for Tally in a big way in this book. His actions supported his emotions and I couldn’t be happier to see his big growth.

There is a section in this book where all of the Heirs and now Tally, Olivia and Abi all hang out and that part of the story is fantastic. I’m excited to see where the storyline goes next and how the next Heir falls for his girl.

Synopsis:
He’s cruel. He’s devious… and he’s determined to keep her.

Oakley Beckworth didn’t expect to fall for the daughter of the man who hates him and everything he stands for. But it happened anyway.

What started as a game to sabotage Tally’s plan to knock the Heirs off their throne quickly turns into a game of life and death.

Headstrong. Tenacious. Pure. She sees past all his bravado.

Oakley wants her even though he knows her father will never approve. Even though he’s not good enough for her.

But for once, Tally is determined to choose her own path in life … and she wants Oakley.

Because some people deserve to be loved.

Especially, the boy who did everything he could to save her.

Cruel Devious Heir: part two is a dark high school bully romance. If possessive, rugby playing alphaholes aren’t your thing, you probably won’t like this book! It should be read after part one.

The crushing burden of wedlock descended upon me, threatening to ensnare me in an unbreakable bond. But I refused to accept my fate; I had to be courageous for my men.

My love for them was so deep that I was prepared to give up anything and everything to see them safe. To reclaim our freedom and keep us together, I understood that sometimes love demands the highest cost of all: My life.

Blog Tour – Bleeding Chaos by Nikki Ash

Title: Bleeding Chaos

Series: Love & Lyrics

Author: Nikki Ash

Release: March 23, 2023

Genre: Friends to Lovers, Rock Star Romance

Gage

I lost my first love. This time, I’m going to win the second girl who owns my heart—no matter the stakes.

Being the drummer for Raging Chaos is the only thing that’s kept me going for the past six years. Even the music isn’t enough to drown out the guilt that’s been suffocating me since what happened to Tori.

When Sadie storms into my life, ripping through my trepidations, sorrows, and bitterness, I can’t help but wonder if she could be my second chance.

I could love her, but in order to do that, I have to stop hating myself first.

Easier said than done. Before I have the chance to mend this broken heart, I push Sadie away and hit rock bottom.

The next time I see her, she has a baby. And if that’s not hurtful enough, it’s not just any baby.

It’s my baby.

Sadie

Bleeding hearts can still beat. I’m living proof of that.

At first, Gage was just someone to take away the pain—until I realized he was battling demons of his own.

I never meant to get too close to the devil with the drumsticks, but once I did, he shoved me out of his life with a force.

My heart might be cracked, but his is completely broken. And trying to save him would destroy us both.

So, I do the right thing and I walk away—not only to protect me but also our unborn baby.

I had no idea who Gage was to the world when I slipped into his bed. Now that I’m out of it, it’s clear he’ll have to clean up his act before he’s father material.

But then we meet again, and I’m reminded of the man he could be.

The man he was born to be, before tragedy struck and the chaos left his heart barely beating.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Like real life, the characters are far from perfect, make morally gray decisions, and deal with subjects that may be sensitive for some readers. If you are looking for a safe romance, this series is not for you. Trigger warnings (which contain spoilers) can be found on my website.

★★★★★ Controlled Chaos Review – “Do not start this series if you plan to go to bed anytime soon . You fall in love with the characters and you can’t stop turning pages, one of the best series I’ve ever read.”

★★★★★ Silent Chaos Review – “This book broke my heart and mended it at the same time.”

★★★★★ Total Chaos Review – “Wow! This book was so much more than what I was expecting. I am loving the Love & Lyrics series….”

 

★★★★★ Bleeding Chaos Review – “By far the most emotively consuming, and thus perhaps most the rewarding, of the Love and Lyrics world. Bleeding Chaos will break your heart- but it will also heal it too.”

Review – A Drop of Pretty Poison by Kelsey Clayton

A Drop of Pretty Poison; Pretty Poison #2
(#2 within a series)

Publication Date: March 30, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Trilogy/New Adult/Brother’s Best Friend/Sports Romance

Author: Kelsey Clayton

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
I have to start this review with…I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!!!

Kelsey Clayton hit me out of nowhere with a drive-by jaw dropping twist of a cliffy. 😲

Drop of Pretty Poison is the second book in Laiken and Hayes love story and like life this book zeros in on these two building the foundation of their lives. It focuses on their future, their jobs, friends, their relationship, etc…sort of mundane things that make up our everyday life, but for Laiken and Hayes it’s a whirlwind because it’s also new. While they have known each other through Cam, Laiken’s brother, for years, these two only know each other intimately for a few months.

This book displays the hardship of taking their relationship public and the ups and downs of life after such a revelation, along with huge twists and turns.

Can I just say again, I so wasn’t prepared for all the lefts when I was looking right. Good job Ms. Clayton!

Synopsis:

They say that when a love burns too bright, it’s bound to burn out—especially those wrapped in secrets and doused in lies.
After a risk is taken and a confession is made, one relationship heats up while another hangs in the balance. When everything rests on shaky ground, we find the stability we need tangled up in each other. Guards are let down and trust is repaired, but all vulnerability comes with a side of weakness. And the betrayal that hits us is one we never saw coming.

Revenge is a dangerous game, especially when fueled by jealousy. We’ll do whatever it takes to protect our own, even if it means seeking help from unlikely sources. While every favor comes at a price, choices made in distress have a tendency to backfire.

As our world comes crashing down around us, loyalties are put to the test. Nothing should be able to shatter the promises we made, but there’s a fine line between tenacious and toxic.

Someone should’ve warned us that even a drop of pretty poison will spread until all that’s left are shattered pieces and broken memories.

Review – Sinful Princess by Tracy Lorraine

Sinful Princess; Sinful Trilogy #2
(#2 within the trilogy, #17 within the series)

Publication Date: March 30, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Trilogy/New Adult/Dark/Mafia/Suspense Romance

Author: Tracy Lorraine

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
The final trilogy in this all consuming, heart-pounding series is wrapping up to be Lorraine’s finest. Sinful Princess has been another sinfully, sweet book that I couldn’t put down. Alex has been worth the wait.

Sinful Princess is full of nostalgic moments. I honestly couldn’t imagine any other Knight recalling stories with love, humor, and a touch of humility like Alex has. They way he regales Evie with stories of the past year of his brothers and how they have all found their loves completely warmed my heart. It’s what made his trilogy the cherry on top of an already great series. The walk down memory lane was bittersweet, but also fantastically sweet as it truly displays how much love Alex has for his family and how much love he has inside for the right woman, which just so happens to be the one spending time with him. This book while had very tense moments, also made me ooohy-gooey inside. Evie and Alex make so much sense and I want everything to work, just the way Theo projects. Yes, that’s right…Theo has somehow become Mr. Romance, just don’t tell Emmie. 😉

There is no denying that of all the Knights Alex is the sunshiny light of the group, but his secrets hold him to the dark side. His internal strife over those secrets lead to some sad and difficult times. So while I adored all of the lovey-dovey, super hot stuff in the middle it is sandwiched in between some heavy, heart-pounding, and dicey moments.

There is only one book left and this book left us with quite the cliffhanger. I’m not sure how everything will turn out so I’m crossing fingers and toes that it will and Evie and Alex find their HEA.

Synopsis:
USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Tracy Lorraine brings you the next instalment of her dark mafia, high school romance story set in the Knight’s Ridge Empire world .

For years, all I dreamed about is a different life.

One far, far away from where I grew up.

But I always expected to be the one to make the decision about where I went, and more importantly, who with.

Turns out, I never had a say in any of it.

My future had been mapped out long ago.

Dear Readers,

Sinful Princess is the second book in Alex and his vixen’s trilogy and the final couple in my Knight’s Ridge Empire series. This book is a dark forbidden bully romance that contains mature content and demanding alphaholes that some readers may find disturbing. You have been warned.

Review – Playing by the Rules by Monica Murphy

Playing by the Rules; The Players #2
(#2 within a series)

Publication Date: March 30, 2023

Genre/Tropes: New Adult/Sports/Brother’s Best Friend Romance

Author: Monica Murphy

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Playing by the Rules is fun, steamy, with a touch of angst. The perfect romance to get your blood pumping and your heart racing.

The beginning of this book has Blair crushing on Camden hard, basically from afar, but also up close as he’s her brother’s best friend. Worst spot to be in especially when her brother is uber protective. However, that never detours Blair from seeking out Camden and being upfront about how she feels about him. In return Cam lays it all out there as well, while he may find her attractive, Knox, Blair’s brother, will kill him if he touches her. Their angst begins and their chemistry was instantly off the charts.

What did Blair do next when Cam kept her at arms length;

“Pull my hair, and call me baby.”

Record scratch…what did Blair just say?!😲 The gloves come off, along with their clothes, because honestly how can Cam compete with those images running through his mind. 🔥However, as the heat rises so does the angst because Cam is still battling demons Blair can’t see.

Camden can hardly go a few minutes without thinking of Blair and it’s more than just the smexy times. They have a connection, but he can’t get past the feeling that he will never live up to the hype she’s created in her mind of him. This poor guy may be the QB of a D1 school, but his confidence doesn’t match his position.

Their secret relationship weighs heavy on them both and while it’s fun to sneak around in the beginning, it’s drowning any hope of a future. I do love and appreciate how the ending all came about, I don’t want to give it away, but for Cam especially, his future will look brighter because of how he took the reigns on his mental health.

Playing by the Rules runs concurrently alongside Playing Hard to Get, which is Knox’s book. Go figure he’s a bit of a hypocrite when it comes to his sister finding love, but that’s an over the top protective big brother for you. 😉 This book is a standalone, but personally I enjoyed reading it after Knox’s.

Lastly, Knox and Blair have a younger sister, Ruby, and she sounds like all kinds of fun. I can’t wait to read what trouble she stirs up in the next book.

Synopsis:
What happens when you fall for your brother’s best friend? Find out in this upcoming sports romance by New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy…

Camden Fields is the star quarterback of our college football team.

Quiet.

Smart.

Absolutely gorgeous.

He’s the man all the women on campus rave about. And while he’s had a few casual hookups over the years, it’s never anything serious. Cam doesn’t do serious.

He also doesn’t do me.

See, I’m his best friend’s little sister, and whenever we’re around each other, he’s always warning me that I’m off limits. That nothing can ever happen between us.

But I see the way he looks at me when he thinks I’m not watching. The heat in his gaze. The hunger. He can deny it, but that man wants me.

I want him too.

I’m tired of always being the good girl and doing what everybody expects. For once, I’m going to break all the rules that have restrained me my entire life.

I’m going after Camden Fields.

And no one can stop me.
