But I do.
It’s what happens when your family has gone to the same college for generations.
Stories and secrets are passed down, making me yearn to know more.
I’m determined to discover if each and every one is true, but I’m distracted.
Because my new professor has taken a particular interest in me.

I shouldn’t be tempted because anything with him is forbidden.
But the way that he only has eyes for me has set me on edge.
I can’t tell if there is something there or if I’m making it all up in my head.
Why would a billionaire, who is known for his solitary life after the death of his wife, want to teach here?
There’s so much I don’t know.
But I know that lies do nothing but lead to more lies.
And when I uncover the truth, the world will implode.
The Lies Beneath is the first book in a dark forbidden gothic college romance duet that has enemies-to-lovers themes. This book may not be suitable for all readers due to dubious situations that might be triggering. It ends in a cliffhanger.

Review – No Such Ring by Coralee June

No Such Ring; Bloody Royals #3
(#3 within a series)

Publication Date: March 22, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Trilogy/New Adult/Dark/Royal/Reverse Harem/Mafia/Forbidden Romance

Author: Coralee June

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Angsty, suspenseful, and full of keep-me-on-the-edge moments, the final book in this dark trilogy did not disappoint.

I was already in love with August and Atticus and how deeply they loved and cherished Christine, but Leo, that boy…ugh, he sure knows how to play with the heart of his queen. It isn’t vindictive, or for spite, Leo is just conflicted. A man torn because of his love for Christine and his deep rooted morals, he constantly goes back and forth on the rightness of what he’s feeling with Christine and sharing her with two other men.

Honestly, as much as I wanted to punch him, I actually loved his internal conflict. To go even further, I really loved each man’s reason for loving Christine, as it all comes out when things begin to disintegrate and they all go morose thinking they aren’t good enough. What’s even better, is when Christine gives her men grief for being sad sobs. I totally pictured Edna Mode from the Incredibles slapping each guy and telling them to, “Get yourself together” LOL. Instead it was Christine doing it in her own way as she is tough, strong, and fights for what she wants through this entire trilogy, and I totally love her.

Fighting for what you want is never easy, especially when it goes against the grain. The love between August, Atticus, Leo and Christine is hard fought through this entire trilogy, but well worth it. All the fights, deceit, love, passion, secrets, and lots of angst that wound their way through this great trilogy. . . I’m going to miss it.

Review – A Kingdom of Venom and Vows by Holly Renee

A Kingdom of Venom and Vows; Stars and Shadows #3
(#3 within a series)

Publication Date: March 23, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Trilogy/Fantasy/Dark/Royal/Epic Romance

Author: Holly Renee

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
For any fantasy reader, romance reader, soul mate believer, or epic story reader this book has it all. From beginning to end I’ve was enraptured by this world, pulled in by the characters and transfixed by what happened to them. It’s a tale for the ages.

Evren, oh Evren…what a mate Evren turned out to be. My heart beat so fast for how much love he felt for Adara and the anguish he felt when she wasn’t by his side. That does not diminish what Adara felt for Evren by any means. These two were twined together in an unbreakable bond, even though the crown prince tries his hardest to do so. I found myself continually tearing up at how much love these two had for one another as it poured off the pages and filled any darkness that was consuming them at that moment.

It’s a beautiful love story mixed around an epic royal battle between kingdoms and I loved the entire story from start to finish. Their epic journey never failed to entertain, tear me up, nor lose my interest as the pages rolled by and even as I’m sad that the trilogy has come to an end I’m equally as happy that Evren and Adara have found their HEA.

Synopsis:
I entered into a bargain—choosing my mate over my freedom.

But I underestimated the crowned prince who took me. His touch like venom. His vengeance lethal.

He craves a power I no longer hold, and he’ll sacrifice every part of me until he gets it.

But I don’t belong to him. I belong to his brother.

His brother who will come for me, consequences be damned.

My fate is entangled between two princes—one who craves my power, the other who covets me—and I have more to lose than I ever imagined.

War rages in a game between queens, and I have become their pawn. But I will fight for my life, for my mate, and he will raze kingdoms to get me back.

The Stars and Shadows trilogy must be read in order for the best reading enjoyment:

Blog Tour – We Will Reign by Rachel Leigh

We Will Reign by Rachel Leigh is now live!

    

Enrolling at BCU was supposed to be my chance at freedom. 
An escape from my parents who insist I follow in their footsteps as a Guardian of the Society. 
Keep the members safe—that’s what I’m supposed to do. 
But how can I safeguard the students when I can’t even protect myself?
Someone has been watching me. 
His eyes burn into my soul like a branding iron. At night, he haunts my dreams and transforms them into nightmares. 
And sometimes when I wake, he’s there.  
Standing at the foot of my bed in awe of my existence. 

He isn’t the one I fear most, though. 
There are others who have their eyes on me, too. 
Only their obsession runs deeper than Ridge’s and I fear if I fall under their thumbs, I won’t make it out of here alive. 

There once was a sicko who lurked in the mist. 
He preyed on my soul baring a closed iron fist. 
His stare made me itch while his eyes locked me under his spell. 
But taking his hand may be my only escape from this hell.

Review – The Lies Beneath by Bri Blackwood

The Lies Beneath; The Westwick University #1
(#1 within a series)

Publication Date: March 13, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Book Duet/New Adult/Dark/Age-Gap/Stalker/Secret Society Romance

Author: Bri Blackwood

Review Rating: 3.5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
This is an age gap, stalker romance with a secret society trope wrapped up in lots of darkness all in a twisted little bow.

Iris Bennington picks up a stalker in Soren Grant, a billionaire who turns into her professor. Soren basically begins fulfilling her wishes, although there is a lot that leads into how he fulfills these wishes that lets us know this man is not quite all together upstairs, if you get my drift, but basically it all boils down to he’s just super obsessed. From the moment he sees her he was all in and the question I had was, should he really be obsessing over a college student when he’s a billionaire CEO? The answer to that was…well, I’ll let you decide because I’m sure it’s all part of his unhinged factor.

Okay, I’m getting ahead of myself…but as I read the book and finished the book, I was still left with a lot of unresolved questions. Yes, I realize this is a duet, but the suspenseful plot wasn’t the issue, that part is actually what still kept me reading. It actually was the relationship between Iris and Soren that I was hoping to have more spark and…their chemistry was just off. One moment Iris thought Soren was a total creep and the next she was swooning as they jumped into things at lightning speed…there was no build up and it just threw me, personally.

While this is a big reason for the 3.5 overall star rating I also had a hard time with so much internal dialogue. This isn’t an accurate account by any means, but I swear their internal monologuing took up about 95% of the book and without conversations or characters interacting with other people, my mind started to wander. While this is all personal reading preference and doesn’t reflect on the author’s talent, it did leave my mind time to think about those questions and reflections that had nothing to do with the author’s voice. Please remember this review is my personal opinion and my reading preference on an author’s voice should not sway your reading choices on who to read.

Synopsis:
Privilege has its secrets…

Westwick University is known for its prestige and pedigree for hundreds of years.

Many people would die to come here…

And some have come here and died.

There are lies buried within these walls that the world doesn’t know about.

But I do.

It’s what happens when your family has gone to the same college for generations.

Stories and secrets are passed down, making me yearn to know more.

I’m determined to discover if each and every one is true, but I’m distracted.

Because my new professor has taken a particular interest in me.

Or so I think.

I shouldn’t be tempted because anything with him is forbidden.

But the way that he only has eyes for me has set me on edge.

I can’t tell if there is something there or if I’m making it all up in my head.

Why would a billionaire, who is known for his solitary life after the death of his wife, want to teach here?

There’s so much I don’t know.

But I know that lies do nothing but lead to more lies.

And when I uncover the truth, the world will implode.

Review – Devious Obsession by S. Massery

Devious Obsession; Obsession #2
(Standalone within a series)

Publication Date: March 23, 2023

Genre/Tropes: New Adult/Dark/Forbidden/Sports Romance

Author: S. Massery

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Twisted, dark, and so full of steam…Steele owes me a new panty collection.

An unapologetic antihero so full of cockiness that he doesn’t look beyond his own actions to see how they affect his or his obsessions future outcomes…oh yeah, Steele O’Brien is devious to the extreme ❤️‍🔥 and I was totally drawn in by him!!

Devious Obsession sucked me in and I was riveted from the very beginning. While I will admit there were many times I wanted to smack Steele upside the head for his bullish behavior, and honestly if some of these scenarios had happened to me I would have been crying in a corner, but luckily Aspen is an amazing FMC who turned out to be the perfect fit for Steele’s brand of obsessive crazy.

There two were hot 🔥 AF and dirty, steamy like I haven’t read in awhile!! So yourself a favor and get a cold beverage, extra panties, a fan, lots of ice, cause…🔥❤️🥵

Definitely after finishing this book, if anyone could take Steele O’Brien down it was Aspen. She doesn’t hold back and I loved her spine made of steal when dealing with him. There is a story there with her, but that is for the reader to uncover, as for Steele, he’s like a diamond in the rough. By the end of the book…completely and totally in love with that boy, chef’s kiss 💖

Synopsis:
“If you want to stay, you have to play the game…”

Steele O’Brien is everything I hate in hockey players.
He’s cocky, brooding, antagonistic.

I played his game, learned his secrets, and got screwed over for it.

But I never could’ve imagined I’d meet him again the next day.
The golden boy with hidden demons is my new step-brother.

Now, the jerk is sleeping down the hall from me until we go back to college.
And oh, how I loathe the devious thoughts lurking under his smiling façade.

It seems that, for him, the game isn’t over.
He says I’m his to play with. His to torment.
And he’s determined to not only get under my skin, but carve his name into it.

Review – Tropical Storm by Skye Warren and Amelia Wilde

Tropical Storm; Deserted Island #3
(#3 within a series)

Publication Date: March 9, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Trilogy/Midnight Dynasty Series/MFM/Suspense/Dark Romance

Author: Amelia Wilde and Skye Warren

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
The final book in this thrilling trilogy and it was everything I was hoping for!

For Carter, a man used to being in control, coming back home throws him off kilter. Carter never had trouble leaving his family even when his job could have taken away everything or everyone he knew. That is until he fell in love and realized that his love for Theo and June could be used as a liability and his loves could be killed because of what he does. He struggles a lot with second guesses and life choices, it’s very un-Carter-like, but also necessary. His self realization hits him hard, but made the whole story feel complete.

Theo has come a long way from the wild man we first meet in the jungle. His soul is connected to the earth and his heart is wide open, which was a beautiful thing to read, but more than anything I love how he fit with both June and Carter. His submission, for normally being so powerful was a great twist, while he was also was so gentle with June. Theo stole my heart.

As for June she is the sweetener that binds these strong men together. Her passion hasn’t changed from book one, where she isn’t afraid to go toe to toe with Carter and she will seek out Theo to curl up with when he needs it most. She’s the perfect blend they both need.

This trilogy was a great addition to the Midnight Dynasty series and this last book especially had a great reunion with all the siblings coming out to support Carter.

Synopsis:
A hurricane has come to Bishop’s Landing…

Carter Morelli has been all over the world. Secret missions. Gunfights. The eye of a tropical hurricane. Nothing scares him more than home, where he looks into a mirror every time he sees his father.

But when the two people he loves most are in danger, there’s only one place that’s safe for them. New York City.

He won’t be able to avoid the place where he grew up. The place where demons from his past haunt him. The place where June and Theo can finally see the truth about him.

TROPICAL STORM is book three in the Deserted Island trilogy. Find out what happens in the breathtaking conclusion of Carter Morelli’s scorching hot story!

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.

WARNING: This book is intended for readers eighteen years old and over. It contains material that some readers could find disturbing. Enter at your own risk…

Review – Unstoppable by K.A. Knight

Unstoppable; Pretty Liars #1
(#1 within a series)

Publication Date: March 10, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Book Duet/Suspense/Dark/Found Family/Military/Reverse Harem Romance

Author: K.A. Knight

Review Rating: 4.5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
A fascinating book the deeper it went and holy moly was it hot!!

I loved the premise of the plot, superhumans created by an evil mad scientist, but I’m going to admit, the plot was also lot of fast paced and then wait. So it was like driving through town and hitting lots of red stoplights; a whole lot of frustrating, but I still wanted to get to the final destination, if that makes sense.

Nova is the daughter of the mad scientist, which for me made part of this book intriguing. The other part is she gets roped into stopping her father by Jonas, Nico, Dimitri, Louis, and Isaac. These are men who we come to find out are just like her. They too have been experimented on, abused, and transformed into these superhuman beings, and they too want vengeance over what was done to them. Exciting right?!

While they track down clues to stopping the mad man, it’s through their shared trauma and instant chemistry that brings the heat and honestly not a lot of drama, because these guys are already bonded brothers through what they’ve been through. If there was anything that helped with the stop light waiting it was the firecracker intense heat!!

Nova was a great female lead, not only for her strong personality, but for how she handled each of the guys. After a lifetime of practically being isolated, she was quickly able to to figure out how to work with five strong men, physically and emotionally. Nova was fascinating to read, not discrediting the guys at all, but there was just a lack of background information on each one of them which made getting to know them a bit harder, aside from Jonas who instantly captured my heart for his sarcastic and snarky personality, it just took basically the rest of the book before I could even distinguish the rest of the guys. I hope there is more insight in the next part of this duet because I am still very captivated by this story and want to know how it all plays out.

Synopsis:
My father is a genius.
A scientist determined to unlock the human potential.
Only his experiments?
He conducted them on me.
I managed to escape his cruel, painful control, and for years I hid.
Until one day, news comes of his death.
Along with the fact his experiments are still being carried out.
This time I cannot run, I cannot hide.
I must stop them once and for all.
He thought he was invincible…. but me?

Review – We Will Reign by Rachel Leigh

We Will Reign; Wicked Boys of BCU #1
(#1 within a series)

Publication Date: March 10, 2023

Genre/Tropes: New Adult/Dark/Suspense/Intrigue/Antihero/Secret Society/Reverse Harem Romance

Author: Rachel Leigh

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
What a reading rush!! Riley Cross has her hands full with this harem and I’m so here for it!!

Where Riley is night and day different from her best friend Scar, the men who fall for Riley are just as extreme. This is Riley’s first year at university, and like many students, she’s feeling the shift and change that that milestone brings. What she didn’t factor in is the guilt that followed her from what happened while she was protecting her friends while they were at the Academy, nor the aloneness that plagues her as she watches everyone around her fall in love. Is it karma that the most intense man begins to stalk her? It’s not the relationship she was after, nor the deep love affair she wanted when his intense gaze burns from afar everywhere she goes, but he never says a word to her when she’s close. Riley begins to believe she’s broken and my heart ached for what she desires…to be wanted, to be needed, to be loved.

Ridge is her obsessive, psychotic stalker and he is a fascinating character to say the least. He is definitely an antihero who is unapologetic of everything he does, intense to the extreme, yet he is protective, territorial, and weirdly loving in his own way when it comes to Riley. Is everything he does for her right? In his mind, yes, and at the end of the day that is what his obsession is all about. There were so many unique and dark facets to his character that I loved unraveling and I can’t wait to dig even deeper as this storyline progresses.

Maddox is the shiny, take home to meet your parents, guy and this is the boy that Riley gravitates towards in the light, even when her dark side reaches out for Ridge in the dark. I also have a feeling of, don’t let Maddox’s pretty boy shine fool you, that we’ve only scratched the surface with him and I can’t wait to find out more of his backstory, especially since he seems like the stabilizer between Ridge and Lev.

Now Lev…this book just scratches the surface and OMG…he’s one scary dude. If you thought Neo was the ultimate big, bad nightmare…Lev has nothing on him. Lev is apathetic and cruel a combination that gave me chills every single time he interacted with Riley. There is a story behind why he is the way he is and I can’t wait to crack him open and find out that very reason, bring on the goosebumps.

I couldn’t put this book down once I began and I now can’t wait to dive back in for more. This is a very dark book, but I loved where the story went, just be prepared if those triggers aren’t your jam.

Synopsis:
Enrolling at BCU was supposed to be my chance at freedom.
An escape from my parents who insist I follow in their footsteps as a Guardian of the Society.
Keep the members safe—that’s what I’m supposed to do.
But how can I safeguard the students when I can’t even protect myself?
Someone has been watching me.
His eyes burn into my soul like a branding iron. At night, he haunts my dreams and transforms them into nightmares.
And sometimes when I wake, he’s there.
Standing at the foot of my bed in awe of my existence.

He isn’t the one I fear most, though.
His best friends—Maddox and Lev— have their eyes on me, too.
Only their obsession runs deeper than Ridge’s and I fear if I fall under their thumbs, I won’t make it out of here alive.

There once was a sicko who lurked in the mist.
He preyed on my soul baring a closed iron fist.
His stare made me itch while his eyes locked me under his spell.
But taking his hand may be my only escape from this hell.

Review – Lies of My Monster by Rina Kent

Lies of My Monster; Monster Trilogy #2
(#2 within a series)

Publication Date: March 2, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Mafia/Dark/Trilogy/Military Romance

Author: Rina Kent

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
The second book, in this all consuming series, delves darker, got angstier, and builds a more intimate relationship between the monster and his obsession.

I was once again hooked and drawn in to this fascinating world built by Rina Kent and found it extremely hard to put down in the late night hours even knowing I had to get at least a couple hours sleep before waking up to go to work….boooo for work!! LOL!

Sasha and Kirill’s relationship was torn after Russia. How do you build trust after destroying it in the worst way possible? It’s nearly impossible, but no one said that Sasha or Kirill were quitters. They are two of the most driven, insanely focused, and hard headed characters Rina’s written to date. Personally, I love that both of them have these characteristics because it creates intense volcanic emotions that result in high heat reactions on the page. It obviously makes for electrifying reading and a couple that, no matter how morally gray they are, I’m rooting for them.

Rina Kent is a one click author for me because her writing is always top notch. She captures the best emotions, whether they are right or wrong or somewhere in between. As the reader, I always feel everything the character is feeling. It clearly makes her books a page turning obsession for me, since I get so sucked in I lose all sense of time and space, hence the lack of sleep, but it’s totally worth it!!

Lies of My Monster is another Rina Kent best. It’s a high stakes, angsty ride, with a jaw dropping cliffhanger book! Now, I can’t wait to jump back in and finish this trilogy to find out how everything comes together in the finale. I need answers and I know Rina will deliver. I’m anxiously excited.

Review – Cruel Devious Heir #1 by Caitlyn Dare

Cruel Devious Heir #1; Heirs of All Hallows #3
(#1 within a duet, #3 within a series)

Publication Date: March 2, 2023

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

Author: Caitlyn Dare

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
An opposites attract at its best! The Heirs have been challenged by none other than the Head Girl, Tallulah Darlington, that means it’s gloves off at All Hallows and Tally needs to watch her back.

Oakley and Tally have tons of friction throughout this book, which is one aspect of Tally’s fight. The other part of it is she’s always stood up against injustice and to her the Heirs are one boys club of patriarchal douchecanoes. She wants to shut down the system and turn their clubhouse into a mental health and wellness clinic, something that could benefit the entire student population, not just a few entitled rich boys. As great as this sounds, and it truly does, sadly the student population sides with the Heirs and their partying ways, that means Tally is enemy #1 and the Heirs only have to sit back and watch the rest of All Hallows do their dirty work for them.

While Tally gets bullied by basically everyone around her, she’s also fighting Oakley on a personal and emotional basis. This girl is one of the strongest girls that Caitlyn has written yet and that’s saying something because she’s written some really amazing women. Tally seriously doesn’t back down from anyone and I love that about her. While I do question her digging her heels in at times, I also commend her for sticking to her guns, not many people have her kind of courage and I like that spirit.

Oakley took a bit longer to fall into his groove. His character development was a slower process, but isn’t that the same for most men in our lives, late emotional bloomers. While I disliked Oakley, even back in his sisters book, I actually like that it progressed to me warming up to him throughout the course of this book and I actually like the guy now. Who knew that would happen?!

This is just the first part of Tally and Oakley’s story and it does end on a bit of an emotional cliffhanger so I’m looking forward to finding out what happens next.

Synopsis:
A brand new dark bully romance series from bestselling author Caitlyn Dare.

A Stop in Time by RC Boldt is now live!

They say time waits for no one.
It waits for me.

I’ve been an outcast my whole life. If my scars don’t scare people away, my attitude certainly will.
I don’t know what I am or how I got the power to stop time. What I do know is, there are far too many questions I need answers to.
When I cross paths with a local gang member, his presence unravels a part of my past I never knew existed.
At every turn, danger leaps closer, and I realize that stopping the killer will mean losing everything—including the first man I’ve ever loved.
But I should’ve known better. We were never meant to be anything more than a brief stop in time.

He wants to keep me for himself.

Just as I started to trust August, I was yanked from his arms and thrown into the deadly underbelly of the criminal kingdom. Atticus is my only ally in this place, and he revels in knowing that I must rely on him if I want to survive–if I want to get back to August.

I despise him.

I ache for him.

New Release – A Stop In Time by RC Boldt

A Stop in Time by RC Boldt is now live!

They say time waits for no one.
It waits for me.

I’ve been an outcast my whole life. If my scars don’t scare people away, my attitude certainly will.
I don’t know what I am or how I got the power to stop time. What I do know is, there are far too many questions I need answers to.
When I cross paths with a local gang member, his presence unravels a part of my past I never knew existed.
At every turn, danger leaps closer, and I realize that stopping the killer will mean losing everything—including the first man I’ve ever loved.
But I should’ve known better. We were never meant to be anything more than a brief stop in time.

Review – Sinful Knight by Tracy Lorraine

Sinful Knight; Sinful #1, Empire #16
(#1 within the trilogy, #16 within a series)

Publication Date: February 23, 2023

Genre/Tropes: New Adult/Dark/Mafia Romance

Author: Tracy Lorraine

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
We have arrived at the final trilogy of this series and Lorraine has saved the best for last!!

I felt like Sally in When Harry Met Sally shouting, “Yes, yes, oh god, yes!” Sinful Knight is absolutely the best. It’s wicked, it’s positively sinful, but it’s also sweetly innocent. That is both Alex and Evie in a nutshell. Their relationship is complicated at best, but also everything that this fan could have hoped for when it came to the last man standing.

Alex and Evie are two similar people from very different backgrounds. I loved getting to know more about Alex and what his role is within the family organization vs. his outward sometimes goofy persona. Then we have Evie and how she may come from a different world, but how she presents herself quite differently from what she allows those close to her to see. She’s a devil’s angel, the perfect combo for our Alex.

The story is a great tangled web of how these two could work with desperately wanting them to work, which made the reading fly by and then having my heart shatter when I reached the cliffhanging end. I can’t wait to dive back in for more.

Synopsis:
THE NIGHT WE MET, SHE LEFT BEHIND A LOT MORE THAN JUST HER SHOES ON MY BEDROOM FLOOR.
A lasting memory burned into my brain. It teases me… tortures me.
Months have passed since that night. I’ve tried a million and one ways to get her out of my head.
But she’s always there. Haunting me. Stealing my sinful thoughts. Fuelling my darkest desires.
I warned her to stay away. But I didn’t mean it— not really.
Before I can make her mine, I’ll have to find her. With nothing more than her red heels, it’s impossible.
Until I stumble across her in the exact same place I found her the first time… and the last place I expected her to be.
She didn’t heed my warning.
And she’s about to learn to take my threats more seriously.
I want to claim her, but she’s not mine to keep. So I’ll take what I can get, and be the one to walk away this time.
MY MISTAKE WAS THINKING I WOULD ALWAYS KNOW WHERE TO FIND HER. I JUST HOPE THIS TIME I’M NOT TOO LATE.

Review – Lavish Corruption by Alta Hensley and Stasia Black

Lavish Corruption; Breaking Belles #5
(#5 within a series)

Publication Date: February 27, 2023

Genre/Tropes: New Adult/Dark/Erotic/Secret Society Romance

Author: Alta Hensley and Stasia Black

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
For two blue bloods, Walker and Jasmine, are caught in their own web when it comes to The Order of the Silver Ghost. Neither of them want to necessarily be among the debauchery, but neither of them want to quit either. They are among the top of their social circle, never let them see you sweat, so backing out is just not heard of.

What I liked about this final book in the Breaking Belles series, is that it picks up towards the end of Walkers trial. With every other book in this series, it began with all the pomp and circumstance of picking a belle and some of the monotony of hanging around the large estate waiting to see what horrible task would be asked of them next. With Walker and Jasmine we, as the reader, were thrown right into the mix and this time it really does help to have a background in the series leading into this book. It really kept the book moving so I really liked jumping right in since we’ve lived the beginning with the other couples, but that is my own personal preference.

In this book we also get a new belle. Jasmine is an entirely different breed all together. She is Sullivan’s sister, a blue blood herself, and should never have been a belle, but she’s a bit of a rebel by night and debutant by day. Her fiery spirit is different in a whole new way, but was very fitting for this particular book.

Lavish Corruption kept this storyline fresh, while still keeping with the theme of the perverse trials within this secret society going. However, while breaking free from many of the traditions set up to this point, this final book was a perfect way to end this lushly rich and decadent series.

Synopsis:
Good girls don’t break rules—but for one night with him, any risk was worth it.

Walker St. Claire is my older brother’s best friend and strictly off limits. Especially while he’s an Initiate during his Trials to gain entrance to the secret society.

But after a lifetime of following the rules and being the good girl everyone expected me to be, I’m ready to break a few. Especially if it means Walker will finally turn his devilish gaze my way.

When he sees me at one of the secret society parties, at first he tries to get me thrown out. Until circumstances and his own needs force us together. I finally get what I’ve always craved—his hands on me. I drop to my knees before him, and finally, he stops seeing me as just his best friend’s pesky little sister.

One taste was never going to be enough. But when I go back for seconds, I’m suddenly caught in a web more dangerous than I ever knew.

Because a girl’s gone missing.
And I’ve been chosen to continue on at Walker’s side as her replacement.

Breaking Belles series in order:
Elegant Sins, book 1 – Montgomery Kingston and Grace Magnolia Morgan
Beautiful Lies, book 2 – Sullivan “Sully” VanDoren and Portia Collins
Opulent Obsession, book 3 – Rafe Jackson and Fallon Perry
Inherited Malice, book 4 – Beau Radcliff and Consuela/Abilene West
Delicate Revenge, book 5 – Emmett Washington and Bellamy Carmichael
Lavish Corruption, book 6 – Walker St. Claire and Jasmine VanDoren

Review – No Such Queen by Coralee June

No Such Queen; Bloody Royals #2
(#2 within a series)

Publication Date: February 22, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Royal/Dark/Mafia/Reverse Harem/Second Chance/Arranged Marriage/Forbidden Romance

Author: Coralee June

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Secrets unfold, the love story really begins to take shape and it’s hotter than ever, plus the plot thickens – yes, that’s right – it’s growing tense in the kingdom of Aldrich, but don’t worry Dadicus is here to lead us into temptation.

If there was a true player among the three men vying for Christine’s affection it would be Atticus, but please let me clarify the term player in my sentence before continuing. Atticus, or Dadicus as he’s becoming fondly known among readers, is a master chess player. He’s been moving people into place for years. Manipulating his way into the right position to be exactly where he currently is; by Christine’s side. A true king to sit by his queen. He’s only done everything in his life to end up by her side…sigh…has it all been on the up and up…eh…let’s not look at his underbelly, but aren’t antiheros extra delicious?

I loved getting into the mind of Atticus. He was brilliant on how he handled August in his grief and despair. He’s been excellent on how to tackle Leo and his hesitancy regarding Christine. Atticus is the perfect center in their man triangle and the perfect grounding point for Christine. He sees her for all of her perfection and all of her darkness. He just accepts her, always has and always will.

And speaking of a man triangle, will they, won’t they? You’ll have to read and find out for yourself how hot Coralee sizzles this quadrouple? What is the term for four people in a relationship? Anyway….

Yes, the plot moves forward along with their harem relationship, with lots of spice and hotness splashed throughout. This is only book two so there is still more story to unfold with hanging questions to the big cliffhanger that we all need answers to like right now!!

Synopsis:
Atticus Dupont is my stalker. My savior.

He wants to keep me to himself.

Prince August saved my life. Just as I started to trust him, I was yanked from his arms and thrown into the deadly underbelly of the criminal kingdom. Atticus is my only ally in this place, and he revels in knowing that I must rely on him if I want to survive–if I want to get back to my husband.

Atticus is dangerous, and I don’t trust him.

I despise him.

I ache for him.

But the playboy billionaire has demons of his own.

Somehow, I started to fall for him. And I can’t leave now.

Mighty is the sword.

Violent, are the crown’s enemies.

Review – A Stop in Time by RC Boldt

A Stop in Time
(interconnected standalone)

Publication Date: February 21, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Supernatural/Gang/Intrigue Romance

Author: RC Boldt

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
What a mind trip!! Boldt’s romantic intrigue and supernatural mashup plots are insanely good and A Stop In Time flipped me upside down with all of the mind blowing moments.

I love entering the worlds that Boldt has created in the past few years, the heroines are bold, bright, and completely kickass. She writes these take charge women who never wait to be rescued, but instead, by the pure definition alone, should be the hero, but each of these books run in the morally gray area…so hero, anti-hero…any way you slice it…I love everything about these worlds, the characters, and how the plots all fit together. Her books are addictive and A Stop In Time is another hit!!

Mac, Mackenzie, Ford has been alone for a long time. Her walls are so high and so thick, it’s made her snark and sass super strong (I loved Mac’s snark…oh my it was fantastic!!) to survive the small town she lives in. Why is she alone? The left side of her body is scarred from a accident and she works in a predominantly male dominated job, but after a life of feeling ostracized she actually prefers being alone, it’s easier. It’s easier until one man turns her world upside down.

When Daniel Madrano rolls into town asking questions and looking for a guy named Mac, he never pictured a beautiful, strong woman who gave just as much as he could. Especially one who could stop time. Yeah, that part freaked him out for just a moment, but if he hadn’t already met Georgia, Bronson’s woman who had unique abilities of her own, Mac’s time stopping skills would have shocked him more. The part that did amaze him was the connection he felt, the instant sort of bond that drew him to her, one he’d never felt with anyone before and that scared him more than anything.

These two together are, for lack of a better term, magic. The pure sass that Mac gives Daniel, or as she calls him over and over again, Danny, just to get under his skin, is brilliant. Even when she finds out that he’s a known gang member, a dangerous man, she never lets up. Her strength, determination is one of the best things I loved about the book, and a very close second was Daniel’s tenacity and love for those he holds close.

There were so many great twists to this story and while this book stands completely on its own, reading Beyond My Darkness may give some insight and background into where Daniel comes from and the other characters in his life. 

Synopsis:
USA Today bestselling author RC Boldt brings readers an intriguing paranormal romantic suspense in A Stop in Time

I’ve been an outcast my whole life. If my scars don’t scare people off, my attitude certainly will.

I don’t know what I am or how I got the power to stop time. What I do know is, there are far too many questions I need answers to.

When I cross paths with Daniel Madrano, second-in-command of a notoriously violent gang, his presence unravels a part of my past I never knew existed.

He may be a criminal and a murderer, but he’s the first man to look at me and see beyond my scars.

As more of my memories rise to the surface, filling in the numerous gaps, danger only leaps closer. I’m faced with losing everything—including the first man I’ve ever loved.

But I should’ve known better. We were never meant to be more than a brief stop in time.
