Review – When Lies Unfold by RC Boldt

When Lies Unfold
(standalone)

Publication Date: May 23, 2024

Genre/Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Forced Proximity/Revenge/Mafia/Antihero Romance

Author: R.C. Boldt

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Positively mind bending!! When Lies Unfold is a tangled tale of suspense and twists that just kept unraveling up until the very end.

Boldt has taken us, readers, to the South American jungles and immersed us in the dark world of the cartel. Santiago Hernández is very much the antihero of this tale as the head of the organization, but Lola Aries is a woman wrapped up in lies and deceit. Who is really the villain and who is telling the truth?

Lola was a woman living a quiet life as a cleaning woman, but in the blink of an eye her entire world changed and she was thrust into Santiago’s world. Neither of them were prepared for each other, but who is ever prepared for drastic life changes?

The ties, the twists, the really big moments were all so mind altering crazy, I would shout out every single time.

I don’t want to say too much because of all the twists and turns. This is a book that needs to be enjoyed at the precise moment when things happen. Although, I will say, I loved how everything tied up and turned out in the end. I appreciate no loose ends.

This book contains high heat passion, a tortured heroine, found family, a morally gray hero with a swoony heart, soul mates, close proximity, tragic pasts, and so much more.

It’s a dark story that also contains so much light and hope, so while it may not be for everyone it is for those who believe in the antihero’s.

Synopsis:

USA Today bestselling author RC Boldt brings us a steamy, new romantic suspense that will leave you breathless in When Lies UnfoldThe moment I witness a murder, my quiet, careful existence goes up in smoke. I’m thrust into the world of Santiago Hernández, Central America’s most ruthless cartel leader.

In exchange for my life, I’m placed under his watchful eye. Day in and day out, he waits for me to betray my promise of silence.

The longer I stay in his world, the deeper I fall for the glimpses of the man beneath that handsome yet cunning exterior. The man whose possessive touch ignites a long-lost part of me.

But I should know better than to open my heart to a cold-blooded criminal with a laundry list of deadly sins and secrets. Especially when he has no idea who I really am.

Because when the lies unfold, he’ll discover I have a list of my own.

Alpha hero
Heroine in danger

Review – The Torment of Two by K. Webster

The Torment of Two; Shameful Secrets #5
(#5 within a series)

Publication Date: May 20, 2024

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

Author: K. Webster

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
K Webster rounded out this series with a story that was filled with all the feels. From laughter to tears and every emotion in-between. From the very first chapter, I was held within the books’ grip and brought tears, I knew that this book would be good, but it moved me beyond expectations!

To say that both Gemma and Two flourished by the end of this book would be an understatement. They blossomed bigger and brighter together than I could have anticipated.

Gemma Park loves her family, there is little doubt that she does, but she also feels like a prisoner trapped within the four walls of her home. She has an overprotective father, a mother that constantly worries about her, and multiple brothers who care just a bit too much. Yes, she realizes that these are selfish problems, as everyone in her life does care, but that also means she never gets any freedom to be alone or to be herself. It’s stifling, it’s controlling, and it’s lonely for a young girl.

Now that Gemma was beginning college this was the first time she had the opportunity to be free. To really find out who Gemma Park was without her family hovering. So while she was never lacking emotionally or physically, Gemma needed to spread her wings.

When she meets Tristan-or Two as everyone calls him, he may be one of the few people who instantly dislikes Gemma upon sight. The problem, they are partners on a huge project that takes up the majority of their grade. Gemma has her work cut out for her, so it’s a good thing she likes hard work.

Two is grumpy, but also kind of sweet. He’s a conundrum of opposites and I loved his character from the beginning of the book. Two is hyperfocused on projects he likes, but he’s also a bit of a mess in so many other ways. I adored that he was the opposite in so many things in comparison to Gemma, but she saw underneath his outer layer to his sweet soul. While they shared the same sort of passion in spirit they just displayed it in a completely different way. 🥰

Their relationship was a slow burn, but they had chemistry from the start. There was an innocence about the two of them that was endearing and sweet and completely different than the other Park siblings. A wonderful surprise for the final book.

Speaking of the whole series, there are quite a few cameos from from past books and with this being the last Park family book it made every appearance bitter sweet.

Synopsis:
From USA Today Bestselling Author K Webster comes an enemies-to-lovers, new adult M/F small-town romance!

She craves freedom from her overbearing family, and being a student at Park Mountain University is exactly that for her. Until she’s partnered up for an entire semester with a surly, difficult man who despises her immediately for no reason at all. So much for an escape…

At PMU, I can finally be free to be my own person away from the Park family name.
This semester, though, my happiness is threatened when I meet him.
Tristan “Two” Sheridan is a grumpy jerk who nearly runs me over with his hunk of junk car and then has the audacity to blame me.

Our dislike for one another is instantaneous.
Imagine my horror when not only is he in one of my new “blow-off” classes, but I’ve also been partnered up with him for a labor-intensive class project for a huge portion of my grade.
His distaste for me is mild at first, but the second he learns my name, it turns to utter contempt.

Why does he hate me so much?
What did I ever do to earn such nastiness from a man I don’t even know?

Beneath Two’s crankiness are secrets—secrets I plan to uncover. With each encounter, I peel back more of the mysterious layers of the handsome man with the pale gray eyes and find there’s someone likeable deep down beneath. And, despite his grudge against me and my family, I think he can’t help but like me too.

As we spend more time together on our project, and just when I think I’ve got a handle on Two, I start getting harassed by someone else. This person stalks me at every turn, leaving me anonymous creepy notes and promises of a future together.

The stalker is the least of my problems, though. When Two reveals the true reason for hating me—the crushing secret that has tormented him his entire life—my own world is suddenly turned upside down. I feel inadvertently responsible and want to somehow make it all better.

A budding romance burns hot between us as our walls come down, but we have to keep it a secret. My parents will vehemently disprove of our coupling, and his will be utterly destroyed. Under the guise of our project, we’re able to spend stolen moments together, stoking the flames of our growing feelings for one another, keeping the bitter truth from our families.

But my stalker has other nefarious plans that keep escalating in nature.

In order to get help from my father and my brother’s cop fiancée, I will have to come clean. My life may depend on it. Ugly truths will be brought to light and Two’s family will no doubt suffer the consequences. I dread the day I’ll be forced to spill the truth.
Is this thing between me and Two worth all the heartache and pain destined for our future?
Only time will tell…

***This is a complete M/F standalone novel with a happily ever after. Tropes for this book enemies-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine, college, new-age romance, opposites attract, historical preservation nerds, hidden rooms and treasure hunts, romantic suspense, mental health rep, and secret romance.***

New Release – So Wrong by Abby Millsaps

So Wrong by Abby Millsaps is live!

Releasing: May 15, 2024

No wrong moves.

Those were the words the first boy I ever loved whispered in my ear on graduation weekend.

Naively, I believed him. Now those three little words feel like a bad omen I can’t escape.

Every move I’ve made since I returned to South Chapel hurts my ex-boyfriend, Greedy. But it’s for his benefit. That’s what I tell myself. Intentionally hurting him is for the best.

It has to be. I said goodbye to the possibility of forever with him the moment my mom and his dad “introduced us” at their engagement dinner.

Three years have passed, but that doesn’t matter to Greedy. He’s hell-bent on making sure I remember it all.

On my darkest nights, the memories win. Since his bedroom is just two doors down, he’s the anchor I seek when it all feels like too much.

But now Greedy’s best friend is back in town, and he and I are “dating” to get his meddling mother off his back. Not only is Levi my new fake boyfriend, but he’s also our new roommate, too.

No wrong moves, Greedy assured me years ago.

What if there are no right moves either?

So Wrong is the first book in the Boys of South Chapel series. It is a steamy second chance why choose romance. A full list of tropes and triggers can be found on the author’s website.

Meet Abby

Abby Millsaps is an author and storyteller who’s been obsessed with writing romance since middle school. In eighth grade, she failed to qualify for the Power of the Pen State Championships because all her submissions contained the same theme: young people falling in love. #LookAtHerNow

She’s best known for writing unapologetically angsty romance that causes emotional damage for her readers. Abby prides herself in writing authentic characters while weaving mental health, chronic illness, and neurodiverse representation into the fabric of her stories.

Abby met her husband at a house party the summer before her freshman year of college. He had a secret pizza stashed in the trunk of his car that he was saving for a midnight snack–how was she supposed to resist that level of golden retriever energy and preparedness? When Abby isn’t writing, she’s reading, traveling, and raising her three daughters.

New Release – Stick Move by Cathryn Fox

Title: Stick Move
Author: Cathryn Fox
Genre: Steamy Hockey Romance
Series: Boston Bucks
Release Date: May 14, 2024
BLURB
All I wanted was to save the coastal resort that has been in our family for generations.

Little did I expect the buyer would be the NHL player who my clique picked on in high school.

I have no idea why the boy from the wrong side of the tracks would drag me – his enemy – back from the brink of ruin.

But when he insists he has a position for me – nanny for his little girl – I begin to understand his motives.

Revenge.

I have no idea how he plans to exact it, but I’m willing to find out if it means saving White Beach Resort.

As I wait for the ball to drop, the summer begins to slip by, and I begin to fall for the man who hates me.

Stupid, I know.

While I still haven’t discovered what he has up his sleeve, I slowly, deliciously discover what he has under his shirt, and below his belt.

The only problem is, I can’t figure out if his touches and kisses are still about payback, or if they’re about something more.

But I think I have a way to find out…and I pray it doesn’t backfire.

Review – Drunk on You by Nikki Ash

Drunk On You; Love & Whiskey #1
(#1 within a series)

Publication Date: May 23, 2024

Genre/Tropes: Workplace/Enemies to Lovers/Fake Engagement/Billionaire/Age Gap Romance

Author: Nikki Ash

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Drunk On You was brilliant!! It took two strangers from instant chemistry to battling enemies to a BIG romantic love story. It’s a fantastic fusion of romantic steam with a romcom like feel and from the moment I started reading it I was drunk on Julian and Anastasia’s story!

The attraction between Julian and Anastasia never waned and holy, hot, steamy, burn up my kindle!!! This is Nikki’s hottest couple ever!!! What began as a ruse on both sides, lead to being fake engaged, and quickly turned into so much more for both Julian and Anastasia and whoa!!! What more it was. ❤️‍🔥💋😏

Yes, these two basically burned my entire kindle to pieces, but Julian is also bit of a cinnamon roll. However, don’t let his soft squishy center fool you because he’s also wrapped up in a business suit, smelling all kinds of delicious, and ready to take on Anastasia when it matters. He’s truly delicious and I loved each and every side he presented.

Julian constantly threw Anastasia for a loop,which isn’t all bad since she does the same thing to him. Anastasia is sharp, gorgeous and quick witted enough to play in a heavily dominated man’s world. It doesn’t take long for Julian to fall for his “trophy wife”. I loved how she constantly kept him on his toes. A woman designed perfectly for him and visa versa.

So while their relationship may have started as a falsehood to get to the same outcome it morphed into something neither of them expected.

Their back and forth battles while they fight for their job is legit romcom worthy 😂. And if that didn’t stir up their potent chemistry their dirty-talk during smexy times are hotter than hot. 🥵🔥 These two were so much fun to read I really didn’t want the story to ever end.

Synopsis:

Anastasia

If I want to prove to my dad that I can take his place as CEO of our family’s liquor company, I need to show him I won’t let work consume my life the way it did his.

He wants me to be a family woman? I can fake it till I make it.

A fake fiancé is the perfect solution, and the man I’ve found is the ideal candidate.

He’s smart and successful, and he’ll look great on paper as well as on my arm …

Until I realize he’s also my stiff competition.

Julian

She’s supposed to be a trophy wife. The missing ingredient I needed to toast my success.

I was hoping the ten million reasons I offered in exchange would be enough to get her to agree. But it turns out, she’s got her own reasons for using me.

From the boardroom to the bedroom, this woman has turned my world upside down.

She might be good at faking it, but her beauty and brains have me falling for real.

I’m just getting started, and I’m already drunk on her.

From USA TODAY Bestselling Author Callie Hart comes a brand new, highly addicting enemies-to-lovers Romantasy with razor-sharp banter, heart-stopping action, and blistering hot romance that you won’t be able to put down!

QUICKSILVER IS COMING!

Book 1 in the Fae & Alchemy series

Release Date: June 4th 2024

Do not touch the sword.

Do not turn the key.

Do not open the gate.

In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn’t much a girl wouldn’t do for a glass of water.

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen’s reservoirs for as long as she can remember.

But a secret is like a knot.

Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone.

When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares…but it turns out they’re real, and Saeris has landed herself right in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed.

The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist’s magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him… or her.

Death has a name.

It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate.

His past is murky.

His attitude stinks.

And he’s the only way Saeris will make it home.

Be careful of the deals you make, dear child.

The devil is in the details…

Cover Reveal – So Wrong by Abby Millsaps

Abby Millsaps has revealed the gorgeous cover for So Wrong!

Releasing: May 15, 2024

Cover Design: © Silver at Bitter Sage Designs

No wrong moves.

Those were the words the first boy I ever loved whispered in my ear on graduation weekend.

Naively, I believed him. Now those three little words feel like a bad omen I can’t escape.

Every move I’ve made since I returned to South Chapel hurts my ex-boyfriend, Greedy. But it’s for his benefit. That’s what I tell myself. Intentionally hurting him is for the best.

It has to be. I said goodbye to the possibility of forever with him the moment my mom and his dad “introduced us” at their engagement dinner.

Three years have passed, but that doesn’t matter to Greedy. He’s hell-bent on making sure I remember it all.

On my darkest nights, the memories win. Since his bedroom is just two doors down, he’s the anchor I seek when it all feels like too much.

But now Greedy’s best friend is back in town, and he and I are “dating” to get his meddling mother off his back. Not only is Levi my new fake boyfriend, but he’s also our new roommate, too.

No wrong moves, Greedy assured me years ago.

What if there are no right moves either?

So Wrong is the first book in the Boys of South Chapel series. It is a steamy second chance why choose romance. A full list of tropes and triggers can be found on the author’s website.

Cover Reveal – The Hunted Heir by Holly Renee

Holly Renee has revealed the gorgeous covers for The Hunted Heir!

Releasing: July 23, 2024

Cover Design: Forensics and Flowers

From USA Today Bestselling Author Holly Renee, author of the Stars and Shadows series, comes the second book in the scorching romantasy series with enthralling secrets, impassioned enemies, and luring tension. 

Verena was the lost princess of Marmoris, the very thing we had spent our entire lives looking for, and I had let her go.

The lingering taste of her mixed with the deep ache in my chest over her betrayal haunted my days and nights. I knew she was hiding something, but her secrets were far more treacherous than I could have imagined.

Though I wished my own betrayal hadn’t been so bitter on my tongue.

Now my dreams are haunted with the way her deep blue eyes looked up at me in shock when I revealed I knew her truth.

The way I crave for her to look at me now as I hunt for her.

Me, along with half of the rebellion.

If my father finds her before me, there is no telling what he will do to her.

And even though she’s the little traitor I’d always thought she was, I couldn’t allow him to find her.

But his orders were clear. The princess is to be taken by the rebellion or she would be taken by the gods. I don’t know which is worse.

She is the heir to our kingdom, the daughter of the cruel king who was responsible for my mother’s death, and the key to winning our rebellion.

I vowed to my father that I would find her, the one person I wish I didn’t have to.

Verena is the hunted heir. But more than anything, she is mine.

Review – Until It Was Love by Pippa Grant

Until It Was Love
(standalone within an interconnected series)

Publication Date: April 11, 2024

Genre/Tropes: Teammate’s sister/Grumpy-Sunshine/Romantic Comedy/Sports-Rugby/Enemies to Lovers/Fake Dating Romance

Author: Pippa Grant

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
There is nothing better than laughing while reading a Pippa Grant book and I did a ton of it while reading Until It Was Love.

This book brought forth all forms of laughter as all of the characters were fun and funny, and just darn likable. The mustache jokes are hilarious. I mean, spot on, laugh out loud funny. 🤣 Seriously…prepare to get your laugh on.

Fletcher Huxley has recently returned to the states to play rugby for the Pounders. On top of his ridiculous mustache, he pretty much never leaves the house without the name of his team somewhere upon his insanely muscled body. He’s proud of representing his sport and it shows. He’s lived and breathed Rugby pretty much his whole life and his new team needs some help. So when an  opportunity arises to get more social media presence, he asks Goldie Collins for help.

Goldie not only knows Fletcher because he plays professional rugby, but he plays with her brother on the same team. Goldie is a life coach and has helped many successful people through life transitions, career opportunities, etc…she is the eternal optimist and while she’d love to see more people enjoying her brothers team, she also isn’t sure she wants to help due to the first time they met, it wasn’t a sunshiny experience. Yes, she’s a walking contradiction, but eventually getting back at her brother wins out, which means helping Fletcher wins. She’s extremely adorable with the best humor. I totally want to be her best friend.

Fletcher is grumpy and full of ego, but hilarious with all his egoness. I adore when a hero is manly enough to love a small animal, but will also carry his little Sweet Pea around on his chest wrapped in a pink sling. I mean it is heart-melty to the extreme 😍 and sort of softens his big ego to show his soft inner marshmallow. 💖 Fletcher may come off as grumpy but he’s actually really great.

Goldie has a seasoned girl squad that I totally want to be friends with. These ladies bring tons of light and laughter and their obituary writing alone – OMG, don’t miss it! 😂. On the opposite age spectrum is Goldie’s niece who is super sweet and amazingly easy to adore, as Fletcher finds out, and I couldn’t get enough of her sugar sweetness either.

Fletcher and Goldie together are like reading a comedy act, but they also have a lot of chemistry together. They are the full package when it comes to couples and I’m so happy to have another awesome couple living in Copper Valley.

As for this amazing town, a few beloved people pop up, but this book is a standalone in its own right. It’s another Pippa hit and I really enjoyed it from cover to cover!

Synopsis:
UNTIL IT WAS LOVE!!  ARE YOU READY FOR IT?!

We’re headed back to Copper Valley, and back in the sports romance arena, but this time we’re tackling a new sport: rugby!

Get ready to meet Fletcher, Goldie and the Copper Valley Pounders, the town’s new rugby team! This is an enemies to lovers, teammate’s sister, fake dating/fake relationship/spite date, grumpy/sunshine, complicated situationship romcom with an… incident with a mustache and cameos from some of your favorite Copper Valley couples. (While it would certainly be fun for you to have read the Bro Code series, plus the Copper Valley Thrusters and the Copper Valley Fireballs series before this book, since they’re set in the same city, Until It Was Love stands completely alone.)

There are a million reasons why I shouldn’t date Fletcher Huxley.

He’s a growly-faced, stubborn-streaked, international rugby legend trying to revive his flailing career in the US after being canned by his team overseas.

While he might have the good kind of thunder thighs, intriguing tattoos, and a booty of steel, he also holds the top position on my very short nemesis list thanks to what happened the first time we met.

Plus, his mustache is as terrible as the reason he’s picked me to be the woman he wants to date.

But he has one big checkmark in the why this date is a good idea column: he’s my brother’s new teammate.

They already hate each other.

And my brother has made an unfortunate habit of interfering with my love life recently.

So a revenge date with Fletcher to make my brother mad? While letting Fletcher think this date is merely for the good of the team?

Yep.

I’m in.

I’m moving to London for work in a month. And it’s just one date. What could possibly go wrong?

Until It Was Love is a banter-tastic romcom featuring an overgrown snack of a man with a soft spot for his purse dog, a normally optimistic life coach trying to live her best life, a mustache catastrophe, and one little tiny fainting spell. It stands alone and comes complete with a swoony happily ever after that will leave your heart in a happy puddle of joy.

Never fall in love with a client

Just one of the many guidelines you must follow when you represent the best athletes in the game.

The rule never bothered me.

A pretty smile from a cocky player couldn’t do it for me anyway.

As a no-nonsense sports agent, I’ve seen it all in this cutthroat world of athletic negotiations and powerplays, and say what you will about me, I know how to handle business.

The only person who pretends I’m not a freaking badass is Trent Nichols, the infuriating, albeit sexy-as-all-hell, Boston Guardians general manager.

With his dark eyes and even darker soul, Trent doesn’t bend to my will like the rest of them, which is a problem.

Especially since one of my hockey players is under threat of suspension.

That can’t happen. Not on my watch.

If Trent wants to play hardball, I’m more than happy to give him a run for his money.

I’ll show him what a real rival looks like.

And who knows? Maybe I’ll have a little bit of fun too.

While the first law of being a good agent is to never fall for a client, there’s no written rule that says I can’t mess around with their boss behind closed doors.

Review – Power Play Rivals by Ivy Fox

Power Play Rivals; Puckered Hearts #2
(#2 within a series)

Publication Date: March 28, 2024

Genre/Tropes: Sports/Enemies to Lovers/Forbidden/Age Gap Workplace Romance

Author: Ivy Fox

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Ivy Fox promised heat and angst and oh-my-overheated-cheeks and overworked heart agree with her!! Power Play Rivals had both my panties in flames and my heart in knots. What a fantastic ride!

Trent Nichols and Piper Lee begin the story with explosive heat. I’m talking fireworks on the fourth of July type of intensity. They banter, they squabble, they fall into bed, and their chemistry never wains. However, do these two jump into a relationship…heavens no, because neither of them recognize their feelings…at least right away 😉. I mean, who wants that since banter is the best foreplay and then when the moment hits – BAM 💥 like a bull in a china shop, my heart nearly exploded. But until that moment strikes these two battle like it’s life and death. It’s glorious to read, although, at moments also quite angsty.

There are some very cute secondary characters that sort of play cupid, that ironically enough aren’t Lottie, Piper’s best friend who is a matchmaker. Rex, the hockey team owner, and Caleb the young goalie. They both have their inspiring and funny moments which made them quite endearing.

The entire book is great and while it could be read as a standalone, is best read in series order for the best reading enjoyment.

A pretty smile from a cocky player couldn’t do it for me anyway.

As a no-nonsense sports agent, I’ve seen it all in this cutthroat world of athletic negotiations and powerplays, and say what you will about me, I know how to handle business.

The only person who pretends I’m not a freaking badass is Trent Nichols, the infuriating, albeit sexy-as-all-hell, Boston Guardians general manager.

With his dark eyes and even darker soul, Trent doesn’t bend to my will like the rest of them, which is a problem.

Especially since one of my hockey players is under threat of suspension.

That can’t happen. Not on my watch.

If Trent wants to play hardball, I’m more than happy to give him a run for his money.

I’ll show him what a real rival looks like.

And who knows? Maybe I’ll have a little bit of fun too.

While the first law of being a good agent is to never fall for a client, there’s no written rule that says I can’t mess around with their boss behind closed doors.

This is the second standalone novel in the interconnected Puckered Hearts series.

Blog Tour – The Veiled Kingdom by Holly Renee

The Veiled Kingdom by Holly Renee is now live!

From USA Today Bestselling Author Holly Renee, author of the Stars and Shadows series, comes a scorching new fantasy romance that ignites the pages with relentless danger, forbidden passion, and the intoxicating allure of enemies to lovers.

Fleeing my father’s cruelty, the wicked king who robbed me of a future, I face death in the streets, caught between a rebellion and a tyrant’s reign.

Captured by those sworn to kill me, the rebels remain blind to my true identity—the missing daughter of the despised king. Faced with an impossible choice, I stand before them: join the rebels or face their blades.

Yet, Dacre, the son of the ruthless rebellion commander, becomes torn between suspicion and a desire that mirrors my own. He allows no one to touch me, tries to protect me, yet threatens me at every turn.

As secrets are weaved beyond our hidden realm, a fierce battle unfolds within me. As I get closer to the rebels, and their cause, my loyalty to my kingdom clashes with my undeniable devotion to Dacre and the burning connection between us.

In a world where love and hate are two edges of the same blade, I find myself caught in a delicate dance between forbidden desire and my looming destiny.

Review – Heartless Monster by Rachel Leigh

Heartless Monster
(standalone)

Publication Date: March 29, 2024

Genre/Tropes: New Adult/Step-Sibling/Enemies-to-Lovers/Intrigue/Forbidden/Bully Romance

Author: Rachel Leigh

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Intense, full of red flags, and an MC who falls first…YES PLEASE!! My heart began to race from all the warnings before the book even began and I was ready to dive in. I love Rachel’s crazy-psycho characters and Rome Cromwell completely fits the bill, I fell in love! 😍

No good deed goes unpunished..or so the saying goes. Elodie thought she was doing the right thing one fateful night, but instead it set the tone and fate for her senior year when she meets her new stepbrother right before school begins. That good deed begins her punishment from the very man she thought she was helping, Rome Cromwell. She is strong, doesn’t easily back down and Ioved her passion. 🫶

Rome has one thing circling his mind; payback for the person who is responsible for taking away everything in his life and her name is Elodie, his new stepsister. Lately all he feels is anger. He’s become a heartless monster with a constant rage building inside of him that needs to be let out and Elodie is the perfect outlet. He rules the school as you’d expect from this kind of book, but he also has his vulnerable moments when you’d least expect it.

These two burn slowly with heated looks, lots of barbs, and fighting their feelings at every turn. There is also slight intrigue, which intensifies the heat between these two. 🔥 It was great with the perfect twists and the right amount of darkness.

Synopsis:
Rome Cromwell isn’t just football royalty in our town.

He’s a heartless monster out for revenge,

And I’m the ordinary girl with his target on her back.

One year ago my knight in shining armor stepped out of the fog and rescued me.

With a simple thank you and an “I owe you one”, I was on my way.

Little did I know, that was only the start of our deranged story.

Now our parents are married and we’re living under the same roof.

Rome presents himself as a masked villain with strikingly good looks and a hypnotic appeal.

Girls want him.

His friends want to be him.

But I only want to run from him.

I see beneath his cracked facade into the heart of the beast.

He blames me for the fight that left his football career in shambles.

And he hasn’t forgotten I’m in his debt.

Now his claws are digging in so deep, I fear I won’t survive.

Rome no longer wants to save me.

He only wants to own me.

To break me.

Piece by piece by piece.

Review – The Veiled Kingdom by Holly Renee

The Veiled Kingdom; The Veiled Kingdom #1
(#1 within a series)

Publication Date: March 19, 2024

Genre/Tropes: Fantasy/Enemies to Lovers/Forbidden Romance

Author: Holly Renee

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
I love fantasy, it’s a genre I don’t get to read often enough so when I do I love to be swept away by everything that this genre can bring. The magic, the fantastic imagery of a grandiose landscape, a big adventure, and a hero and heroine on a quest that will most likely end in peril. Holly Renee has proven once again that she is brilliant in this genre as she knocked it out of the park with The Veiled Kingdom. This book is rich in detail with scenery, it’s full of magic, ripe with plot that’s filled with turmoil, and it has two characters that are absolutely full to the rim with peril. It made my fantasy reader soul overflow with glee.

From the first moment that Nyra and Dacre meet they have serious chemistry!!! 🥵🔥💯 Like, explosive from the get-go. BUT…they are also kind of sworn enemies. It’s hard to explain without giving away the entire book, but I’ll just say that the tension is thick and the heat between them is major and never once lets off the gas.😏

Nyra is on the run from the palace, while Dacre is the second in command of the Rebels. It would make sense that Nyra should feel safe in the sanctuary of the Rebels if they were both on the same team, but Nyra is holding on to secrets and Dacre senses that she is hiding something from the moment he meets her. While it doesn’t stop the underlying attraction between either of them, no matter how they both try to avoid it, they both also know nothing good can come from it for all of the above reasons. They are caught between passion and a cause.

This book is so good between the plot tension and with who is going to crack first and start ripping off clothes. Whew…I couldn’t stop turning the pages. Then just as everything is culminating……more is coming soon. This is just book one and 🤯 what a cliffy. I can hardly wait to find out what happens next. This series is just getting started and I can hardly wait.

Keep reading for a look inside If You Hate Me!

Unfortunately, it seems that my brother’s teammate and roommate, Tristan, is home. He sounds different, though. Which makes sense since he was eighteen when I last saw him in three dimensions, and he’s in his mid-twenties now. His voice is deeper, grittier.

It’s hitting home exactly what I’ve signed up for by asking to stay here. My brother I can deal with. His best friend is a whole different story—and the condo actually belongs to Tristan. When Flip was traded to the Terror, Toronto’s pro team, he was so excited about getting to play with his childhood best friend that he moved in with him, too.

“Lights off!” Tristan slurs.

The condo goes dark. There’s some shuffling and then an oof and a grunt. “Motherhumping sh*tbag. Baffrum leg on!” More stumbling around in the dark. More swearing. Something hits the floor with a loud bang. “Bathroom light on.” He enunciates each word slowly, with less slurring.

I stay in my coffin-style pose on the futon upstairs. He can’t see me from here. I’d prefer to defer my first interaction with Tristan in nearly a decade since he’s clearly sh*tfaced, and I’ve had a sh*t day.

I lie as still as possible and work on breathing quietly.

The fridge opens. “F*ck. I need t’order gro’ries.” The door falls closed. More rustling. More swearing. “Stupid shots. Ah, sh*t.”

I give in to curiosity and roll onto my stomach, peeking over the arm of the couch. Tristan’s standing at the island, half a jug of orange juice spilled across the counter, the puddle making its way to the edge. He yanks his shirt over his head and drops it on the spreading liquid, but instead of containing the mess, it drips onto his feet. He stumbles backward into the fridge.

I’m unable to appreciate his shirtless-ness before he grumbles more profanities and disappears. Not that I want to appreciate all those rippling muscles earned by countless hours on the ice. Because I don’t. Mostly.
