About Brutal Days

No sacrifice is too big.

No secret too small.

I’m out to win, and I don’t even know the game.

My opponents? They’re the Academy’s football stars, gods among their peers, and I want nothing to do with them.

But I’m stuck on a mission to help out a friend, and keeping my distance shouldn’t be too hard.

That’s when Damon Savage walks in, looking like he stepped out of a magazine, and worse—my friend wants him… and I’m the one who has to play matchmaker.

There’s only one problem with my plan, and it has to do with the dirty dreams that only Damon can satisfy.

Brutal Days 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 Brutal Nights.

He’ll do anything to protect her from danger…but it will cost her everything.

Security specialist Matt Montgomery has never forgotten—or forgiven—Madison Archer for walking away and ripping out his heart. Three years later, she crashes back into his life, terrified that her wealthy husband is trying to kill her. Matt vows to protect Madison…but there’s a price. He’ll have revenge by making her submit to his every sexual demand.


Part of a powerful, ruthless political dynasty, Madison’s soon-to-be ex has deep, dark secrets. When uncovering them nearly proves fatal, she turns to the one man she knows can protect her—the lover she’s never been able to forget. Matt’s ultimatum is both shocking and intoxicating. But if she wants to keep herself and her ailing father alive, he’s her only option.


As the danger escalates, so do Madison and Matt’s feelings. But navigating their rocky past while trying to stay one step ahead of her deadly husband proves perilous. Will their forbidden love survive the danger and give them a second chance at happiness?

She’s my final and toughest assignment…

For six years, I’ve worked hard to prove my worth at HEA Corp. I’m a sure bet to be promoted to a Seraph Guardian—the elite who protect the good souls of Earth from meeting untimely deaths.

My wings are almost within reach.

Just one more task.

But Lark Miller isn’t just another simple assignment.

She’s wicked and evil.

At least that’s what her file says.

I’m to protect her until our sister company, HEL Enterprises, sends their Reapers to collect what’s theirs.

According to my intel, she’s a lost soul with a dark, hidden past and no hope of redemption.

There’s a problem, though.

Nothing is what it seems with the elusive woman.

She’s enigmatic, complicated…and beautiful which is a big problem.

Her very presence is a distraction for me.

I can’t risk everything I’ve worked for by letting my heart get involved.

There are also holes in the story I’ve been fed about her.

With each passing day, I get to know the real Lark, and discover more untruths about her.

Someone messed up.

It’s up to me to get to the bottom of it before it’s too late.

Her destiny is fire and damnation.

Mine is to make sure she gets there.

Or is it?

Maybe our future can be rewritten.

Maybe I can save her…
Alpha & Omega is book one in a duet with different couples. Book one is Alpha’s story with Lark. Book two is Alpha’s partner and best friend, Omega’s, story. Alpha & Omega ends with a happily ever after. This book contains some triggering themes including thoughts of self-harm, previous loss of family, depression, substance abuse, and explicit language.

She’s the reason for my failure…

I was supposed to be a Seraph Guardian—one of the most revered angels at HEA Corp—with my best friend and partner, Alpha.

But then, all hell broke loose.

Literally.

I’d been seduced and distracted by a Leviathan named Love.

She’s the devil’s most prized darling.

And I fell right into her wicked trap.

I’ll never get my wings because of her.

Now, I’ve been banished to work for HEL Enterprises with the enemy.

To say I’m miserable is the understatement of the millennia.

Love wants to pretend like she didn’t just ruin my entire existence.

That her twisted games didn’t destroy the very essence of who I am.

I hate Love.

But there’s more to Love than meets the eye.

I’m not the only one she plays games with.

It doesn’t take long for me to realize she’s in deep with the worst one of us all—our boss.

Even though I hate what she did to me, I can’t turn a blind eye to the way she’s being treated by him.

I’m one of the good guys after all, despite where my choices led me.

I can’t stand by idly and watch her take his cruel torture.

She may be a monster, but she doesn’t deserve that.

I’ve lost everything once before because of Love.

What do I really have left to lose by trying to save her?
Omega & Love is book two in a duet with different couples. This book is Omega’s love story. Book one is Omega’s partner and best friend, Alpha’s, story. Omega & Love ends with a happily ever after. This book contains some triggering themes including religious, military and war, S/A, and explicit language. Please read with care.

Review – Wicked As Secrets by Shayla Black

Wicked As Secrets; Matt & Madison #1, Wicked & Devoted #7
(#7 within a series, #1 within a duet)

Publication Date: May 16, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Duet/BDSM/Suspense/Second Chance/Forbidden Romance

Author: Shayla Black

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Heart-pounding action and lots of steamy chemistry from the very start of this book!! I loved every moment of it!!

Matt Montgomery and Madison Archer-Pershing had one hot and heavy weekend three years ago and then sadly Madison married someone else. Now after witnessing something horrific and life changing, her husband is after her because of what she saw and with no where else to turn she goes to the one person she can think of…Matt.

I loved returning to this world A LOT!! Yes, there were updates from past characters, which was amazing, but this book also felt brand new. It wasn’t overwhelming for a new reader to get lost and it was exactly the right amount of reunion for a fan like me.

I’ve read Shayla for years, along with other books that covered the D/s lifestyle. I can’t stress enough how much I loved how this particular book that made stepping into this world feel like new again. What Shayla gives us, as readers, is brilliant for anyone new to reading this series, or new to reading about this topic, or even a refresher course for fans. Let me explain, Matt has always felt this burning desire to basically possess and dominate Madison when he was near her, even when he didn’t use those words. It was what basically scared him away three years ago. While he is aware of his friends being in the lifestyle, he never really knew what that meant. Now that Madison has come back into his life those feelings are back tenfold and then add in the savage need of saving her life. Matt is finally introduced to what his feelings mean and how to channel it. His vitality and need for Madison…wow…I was constantly fanning myself. I would want Matt in my corner anytime of the day.

Now, the whopper of a cliffhanger….my mouth was hanging wide open and I need the next book immediately!!

Synopsis:
He’ll do anything to protect her from danger…but it will cost her everything.

Security specialist Matt Montgomery has never forgotten—or forgiven—Madison Archer for walking away and ripping out his heart. Three years later, she crashes back into his life, terrified that her wealthy husband is trying to kill her. Matt vows to protect Madison…but there’s a price.

Part of a powerful, ruthless political dynasty, Madison’s soon-to-be ex has deep, dark secrets. When uncovering them nearly proves fatal, she turns to the one man she knows can protect her—the lover she’s never been able to forget. Matt’s ultimatum is both shocking and intoxicating. But if she wants to keep herself and her ailing father alive, he’s her only option.

As the danger escalates, so do Madison and Matt’s feelings. But navigating their rocky past while trying to stay one step ahead of her deadly husband proves perilous. Will their forbidden love survive the danger and give them a second chance at happiness?

Review – The Blood We Crave Part 2 by Monty Jay

The Blood We Crave Part 2; Hollow Boys #4
(#2 of a duet, #4 within a series)

Publication Date: April 28, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Book Duet/Antihero/New Adult/Dark/Suspense/Intrigue Romance

Author: Monty Jay

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
The Blood We Crave, part one, was a fascinating, spine-tingling book, but part two was darkly devine and even more engrossing than the first half!

Thatcher Pierson is still one of the most brutally fascinating characters I’ve ever read. I’d say I’m just as obsessed with him as Lyra is.

Thatcher is cold, sharp, and deeply depraved, devoid of emotions, except where Lyra is concerned. She snuck into his crevices weaving her color and light, but also intriguing him with her own side of darkness.

As it turns out, Thatcher is just as obsessed with Lyra as she is with him. They are two broken halves that make up one dark soul, as their mindsets on so many things touch on a soul-deep and unbreakable level.

“The world is changed because you are made of midnights and crimson. The curves of your lips rewrite my purpose. -T.”

Lyra, she too is quite the specimen. While she may try to hide under her bright clothes and odd personality, being with Thatcher unleashed her inner psycho. She can’t really hide from a man like Thatcher, nor does he want her to. She is just as embedded under his skin as he is under hers.

They both see one another beyond their masks and therein lies what makes up their unique love. It’s beautiful in a very dark way, which is totally why I love these books.

The ever evolving plot of solving the mystery of who is behind what is happening in Ponderosa Springs continues in this book. The suspense that has driven higher with each book thickens as the stakes have never been more dire since three of the four guys now have more to lose.

I am in total awe of how this series has wrapped me up, from the very beginning, in all the mystery, blood, and depravity that I love to read and now can’t seem to get enough of. I am hooked!!

Synopsis:

Will obsession be enough?

I’d always believed my love was enough to save him. To protect him.

I was wrong.

The Copycat killer gets closer every day, and I can’t help but feel his every move is in my direction.

With dead ends around every curve and bodies piling up, it seems our time is running out.

They took him from me. Stole the last bit of light and left him empty.

Now, it’s not only the Hollow Boys who are seeking revenge.

I’m out for blood. A war path for vengeance.

They wanted a villain?

I’ll give them one.

This is part two and needs to be read after book one.

Review – Savage Truth by Isla Vaughn

Savage Truth; Hidden Valley Elite #2
(#2 within a series)

Publication Date: April 27, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Duet/New Adult/Enemies to Lovers/Bully/Suspense Romance

Author: Ilsa Vaughn

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
The second half of this duet is smexy and full of high stakes.

Cole and Riley pick up right where they left off in Savage Lies, with lots of tension and lots of angst. While these two still have a ton of back and forth, because let’s face it they love to push each other’s buttons more than anyone else, but this time their chemistry finally explodes into some steamy, nekky times too. Once those clothes come off, it’s hard to separate lies from truth, but the suspense gets higher once Riley’s past comes calling. If you thought Cole was OTT before, that pushes his buttons even further.

It may sound crazy, but I loved that Riley is a never sit down and take it kind of girl, even at the worst of times. She never gives up, even when all seems dire. Her spirit is what makes their relationship work, because who else could handle Cole…honestly.

I’m looking forward to reading who’s next because these guys have had an emotional time and any girl who comes along is going to need a strong backbone.

Synopsis:
Rejected by a teenage god.
Lies so dangerous our lives are at stake.
A game worth playing.

Cole Savage doesn’t hate anyone as much as he hates me… or the fact that he wants me just as much.

We all have issues, and the less he knows about me, the better. I just have to keep him unbalanced, which is harder than I thought it would be.

Yeah, he wants me.

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.

Review – Savage Lies by Ilsa Vaughn

Savage Lies; Hidden Valley Elite #1
(#1 within a series)

Publication Date: March 30, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Duet/New Adult/Forbidden/Bully Romance

Author: Ilsa Vaughn

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
This is a book I couldn’t put down from start to finish. I loved their back and forth, the tension, and all the verbal sparring. Cole and Riley are angsty, angsty, angsty.

Cole sets out to make Riley’s life miserable when he discovers she’s the daughter to the woman having an affair with his dad. Cole hasn’t been happy with had dad for a long time, but that escalated when his mom died, blaming his dad for her death. So Riley mom’s and more importantly Riley is getting his ire even when he also wants her with a desperation he doesn’t quite understand. This story is full of angst from Cole’s point of view, but then we add in Riley’s and wowza.

Riley and her mom have run cons her entire life, so when Riley’s mom falls for Cole’s dad, telling her it isn’t a con, Riley isn’t sure what to believe. Already constantly on edge from Cole getting under her skin, Riley is waiting for the other shoe to drop from her mom too. Didn’t I mention all the angst?

I can’t wait to find out how the rest of the story goes in the second half of this duet and get even more delicious tension from this couple.

Synopsis:
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Full blurb coming soon…

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

Blog Tour – Dirty Crazy Bad 2 by Siobhan Davis

In the secret society of The Luminaries, no sin will go unpunished…

Dirty Crazy Bad 2, the addictive and jaw-dropping conclusion to the dark reverse-harem Dirty Crazy Bad Duet from USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Siobhan Davis is live now!

The Greed & Gluttony Luminary has trapped us into executing his evil plans, and it seems we have little option but to agree. Carter has orchestrated Chad’s kidnapping, and he holds my mom’s life in his hands.

Then he drops a game-changer

We must play our parts—or at least look like we are—because the fate of our loved ones, and the world at large, depends upon it. There is no choice.

It’s a delicate balancing act, with many obstacles and no guarantee of success. Carter has spent years planning his takeover and knowing who to trust is impossible.

Teamwork is the only way we can defeat him. But that is challenging when relationships are fractured, the guys are sworn enemies, and loyalties have been pushed to their limits.

It’s up to me to make this work, so I will push my grief aside to be there for Ares, Jase, and Chad.

Rhett Carter cannot become Lord of the Luminaries and we’re the only ones that can stop him.

ASHLEY

Jase stalls on the step above me as Mom and Ares continue to the upper level where Ares’s, Chad’s, and my bedrooms are. “What’s wrong?” he asks, turning to face me.

“You need to sleep down here,” I say, leaning against the banisters as I try not to let the crestfallen look on his face get to me.

“I don’t expect anything, Ash, but I want to stay with you. To make sure you’re okay.”

“I’ll be fine. I have already taken pain meds, and I’ll just set my alarm to wake me every few hours.”

He folds his arms across his broad chest as his emerald eyes peer into mine. “I know I hurt you and I need to make it up to you. I know it’s not as easy as me saying I’m sorry or that I was trying to protect you. But please don’t shut me out. You are injured, and someone should stay with you.”

“I’ll stay with her.” Ares’s gruff voice echoes from above.

I look up, spotting him hanging back on the top step.

I expect Jase to argue. There is little love lost between those two. But he surprises me.

He fixes his gaze on Ares. “Make sure you wake her every four hours. And come get me if there are any issues during the night.”

Ares equally surprises me when he nods agreeably.

Jase pulls me into a tender hug. Pressing his warm lips to my ear, he whispers, “I love you, Temptress. Whatever you need, I will give you.”

Tears stab my eyes at his words. I know what this must be costing him. “I love you too,” I whisper, stretching up to kiss his cheek. “But that doesn’t magically solve all our issues.”

“I know.” The look of adoration on his face as he tucks stray strands of pink hair behind my ears is almost enough to change my mind. “We need to talk about a lot of things.”

I bob my head as I extract myself from his embrace and move around him. “Yeah, we do. Night, Jase. Sleep well.”

“Night, baby.”
