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 – 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 – 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.

The Lies Beneath is the first book in a dark forbidden 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 – 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.

About To Save a Mate

Welcome back to Redwood University, where a power-hungry shifter wants to rule them all; and those strong enough to stand up to him must fight.

I tried to flee Redwood University, but when my father was kidnapped by a ruthless alpha, I was forced to submit. With a broken heart and wounded pride, I reluctantly followed his demands–if only to keep my father alive.

There’s danger lurking around every corner, and since Alexei crushed my heart in his fist, I sought an alliance with the vampires, fae, and witches instead.

Alexei is furious, jealous, and possessive. But despite everything, I still ache for him.

But the future alpha made his choice. No matter what he says, I can’t wait for a mate that won’t stand by my side. I just wish my heart would get with the program.

Because there’s an unknown power simmering in my veins, and a mystery I’m on the verge of cracking. I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know that Alpha Jones will do anything to gain more control, and that’s one thing I can never allow to happen.

So, if Alexei won’t save me from his father, then I’ll save myself.

*To Save a Mate is the second book in the Redwood University Trilogy. It cannot be read as a standalone and ends in a cliffhanger. If possessive heroes, who occasionally turn into wolves, and sassy, headstrong heroines are your jam, you’ve come to the right place. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the continuation of this exciting paranormal story.

Order: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Apple Books | Kobo | Google Play | Website | Eden Books

From USA Today Bestselling Author K Webster comes a new steamy age-gap, enemies-to-lovers “why choose” forbidden romance!

He’s a successful attorney with a secret craving for his too-young stepdaughter.
He wants her badly. But his wicked son wants her too…

Love is an illusion.
In my world, collecting the shiniest trophies is what I do.
Beautiful wife. Swanky home. Expensive cars. Successful firm. Future attorney general.
Add in the Park family name and I’m the envy of every man in town.
True love, however, was never attainable, no matter how much I secretly wanted it.

The desire to be loved isn’t my only secret.
My wife is missing.
With my life under scrutiny as I run for office, I’m finding it difficult to lie away her whereabouts. People are starting to notice. My political opponent. Her best friend. And worst of all, my wife’s daughter, Aubrey.

Aubrey is finally back home after two long years with her dad, but she’s asking questions I don’t have answers to. Yet, that’s not all she’s doing…

She’s invading my thoughts and my heart, driving me insane with her beauty and vulnerability.

I want her.

She’s barely legal and my wife’s daughter.
Forbidden and morally wrong.
I can’t have her. I can’t.

My son, though, doesn’t live by the same code I do.
He wants her too.
But not to love…to destroy.

I’ll risk everything to keep him from her.

Review – Laws of Attraction series by Kate Meader

Down with LoveIllegally YoursThen Came You

Laws of Attraction Series
(three books within a series)

Publication Date: February 23, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Contemporary Romance Series

Author: Kate Meader

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Synopsis of the series:

As partners in Chicago’s premier law firm specializing in divorce, Max Henderson, Lucas Wright, and Grant Lincoln have witnessed humanity at its worst. Bitter fights. Heartbreaking custody battles. Hand-to-hand combat over who gets the Phil Collins CDs. So when love’s young dream burns to a pile of ash, you want one of these hot shots in your corner.

But what happens when the most cynical guys in the war against love find themselves on the battlefront—with their hearts in the line of fire?

Three men who think they know everything about marriage, relationships, and women will learn that, in fact, they don’t know jack.

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
A cynic of love and a believer of all things romance bring the fire in this opposites attract story.

Max is a divorce attorney and his brother, James, is getting married. Oh, the horror!! Max is already lining up all the reasons why James’ marriage will fail before he’s watched his bride walk down the aisle, but that is just the jaded side of what Max’s job has done to him. What I loved about this book is that Max is actually a big softie underneath all that cynical lawyerness and all it took was meeting the right woman to squish it out of him.

Charlie is the wedding planner for James’ wedding and to say she didn’t exactly hit it off of Max right way is an understatement.  However, with the more time they spend together their slow burn builds into something more than just antagonistic acquaintances, which eventually explodes into burning passion.

Down with Love

Synopsis:
The cynical divorce lawyer and the hearts-and-flowers wedding planner could be the perfect match . . .

If you ever get married, remember my name: Max Henderson. In my line of work, you acquire a certain perspective on supposedly everlasting unions. . . .

1. Pre-nups are your friend.
2. The person you married is not the person you’re divorcing.
3. And I hope you didn’t spend much on the wedding because that was one helluva waste of hard-earned cash, wasn’t it?

But some guys are willing to take a chance. Like my brother, who thinks he’s going to ride off into the sunset with the woman of his dreams in a haze of glitter on unicorns. And the wedding planner—the green-eyed beauty who makes a living convincing suckers to shell out thousands of dollars on centerpieces—is raking it in on this matrimonial monstrosity.

The thing is, Charlie Love is not unlike me. We’re both cogs in the wedding-industrial complex. As the best man, I know her game—and I can play it better than her. But after one scorching, unexpected kiss, I’m thinking I might just want to get played.

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Illegally Yours was a total joy to read. Their chemistry and admiration for each other made my heart overfill with love!

Lucas is charismatic and outgoing, whereas Trinity is subdued and comfortable along with sidelines. These two opposites were perfect together, two opposing forces; one to calm the divaness in Lucas and the other to bring out the shine in Trinity. Everyone needs that person that helps them glow and be their best self, these two found that in each other. Perfection.

The conflict arises in outside forces which is what made this story so darn good. I love a book where the people are perfect, but they have to overcome something that seems unattainable. This is that book! I don’t want to give it away because that is part of the shock and surprise that made this such an enjoyable read, at least for me. PLUS…Illegally Yours contained so much British slang that it continually had me chuckling, and I wasn’t alone, because Trinity also had no idea what Lucas was saying most of the time. It’s completely adorable and panty melting.

A totally sweet and lovely story.

Illegally Yours

Synopsis:
Rule #1: Never fall for your client.
Rule #2: Never fall for your client’s fiercely protective, smoking hot sister-in-law.

I’m the kind of guy who believes that everyone deserves the best legal representation money can buy—which just so happens to be me, Lucas Wright. Give me your henpecked, your cuckolded, your irreconcilable differences yearning to break free! And if you’re the bad guy in your marriage, that’s cool too. Your green is as good as anyone’s.

Tell that to Trinity Jones. It’s my job to destroy her sister—the soon-to-be ex-wife of my a-hole of a client—and Trinity’s “big sis” instincts are dialed up to the max. I admire that. I admire her. But she won’t stop me from representing my client to the best of my ability.

Not even if my chemistry with Trinity is undeniable. Not even if we can’t keep our hands off each other. Not even if she injects life into a heart assumed to be long dead.

Because when faced with a choice between love and duty, the job will always win—or at least that’s what I thought before I met Trinity . . . and suddenly conflict of interest never felt so right.

This ebook includes an excerpt from another Loveswept title.

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
I’ve gotten snippets of Aubrey and Grant over the last two books so I was looking forward to digging into their story. I wanted the heat and the passion that two divorce attorney’s would bring and I also wanted to know what ripped their love apart.

Their breakup was never about not loving one another, so their entire story had a ton of chemistry, it was also full of heartbreak. Of the three books, this one was definitely the angstiest, but also a complete page turner. There was layers and layers to uncover between these two which made reading the book highly enjoyable.

This is a highly charged second chance romance; these two have already taken the plunge walking down the aisle and know what comes after saying “I do”. Naked time between the sheets is easy, it’s what comes after that is hard and do they want to jump into the deep end again? Grant is ready to win back his ex, but Aubrey may take a little a push in his direction.

Then Came You

Synopsis:
In the courtroom, they’re rivals. In the bedroom, they’re . . . divorced. But could the road trip from hell lead to a second chance at love?

Aubrey Gates is the hottest divorce lawyer in Chicago, a barb-tongued stiletto with legs that go on for miles. When her cool gray eyes meet mine across the battlefield, I want her like I’ve never wanted anyone or anything. Then I remember who she is: the woman who brought me to my knees. The woman who destroyed my faith in relationships.

The woman I used to call . . . wife.

And she needs a favor from me, Grant Lincoln.

It seems my ex forgot to mention the demise of our marriage to her dear old grammie, and now we’re both expected to attend her ninetieth birthday party. In Boston. And because it isn’t already awkward enough, Aubrey and I are driving there together from Chicago. That’s more than a thousand miles of tension, heartbreak, and barely concealed lust.

A little piece of paper might say we’re over, but this road trip is the true test. I intend to get my wife back . . . and I won’t stop until “I do.”

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 Tangle of Awful by K. Webster

A Tangle of Awful; Park Mountain #2
(standalone within an interconnected series)

Publication Date: February 21, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Ménage/Forbidden/Step-family/Age-Gap/Enemies-to-Lovers Romance

Author: K. Webster

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
What a delicious tangled web of storytelling!!

The Park family tree is ka-ra-zzzzie and I love how tangled up it continues to get! I should know better than to go into one of Webster’s books with expectations because she always goes left when I think she will go right and I love those mind blowing moments. The Tangle of Awful was nothing like I expected and it was everything better than I could have wanted!!

There is a ton of tension between Spencer and Aubrey and also with Hugo and Aubrey. She is torn between both Park men in completely different ways. Spencer Park is Aubrey’s stepbrother and he’s a total jerk, in the best ways ;). Hugo Park is Aubrey’s stepfather and he’s the caring adult in her life that she’s never really had. As each relationship develops they are totally different and I loved how they were independent from each other, even though each Park man was with the same woman.

Aubrey hasn’t really had stability in her life, except for a few years that she lived with the Parks when she was younger. She moved away, but after her father kicks her out and she has no where else to go she heads back to the one place she’d felt safe, the Parks. Aside from navigating her new relationships with the men in her life, it isn’t the mess of her heart that has her doubting moving back, mysterious things are happening and she refuses to let her family get hurt because she appears to be cursed with an awful life.

About To Reject a Mate

Welcome to Redwood University, where the creatures that go bump in the night really do exist… and they’re hiding in plain sight.

Attending a small college in the middle of nowhere was never my plan, but when I was offered free tuition and the promise of an excellent education, that plan changed.

It would’ve been nice to know I would be one of the only humans on campus.

It’d be even better if a certain bossy shifter didn’t claim me as his fated mate.

Alexei is arrogant, acrimonious, and the worst A-word of them all: an alpha.

But I can’t deny the way my body responds to him. No matter how many warning flags are waving around in my head, we gravitate toward one another. It’s primal. Passionate.

Painful.

Because regardless of what the fates think, or the supposed destiny we share… Alexei and I could never be.

So, if Alexei won’t reject our bond… I’ll have to do it for him.

*To Reject a Mate is the first book in the Redwood University Trilogy. It cannot be read as a standalone and ends in a cliffhanger. If possessive heroes, who occasionally turn into wolves, and sassy, headstrong heroines are your jam, you’ve come to the right place. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride into this exciting new paranormal world.

New Release – When a Moth Loved a Bee by Pepper Winters

When a Moth Loved a Bee by Pepper Winters is now live! 

New York Times Bestseller, Pepper Winters, delivers a brand new High Fantasy Romance.

“It’s taking everything I have not to touch you. Not because I want to make you mine but because every part of me screams that you already are.”

A pack of wolves hunt a girl who takes her last breath by a river’s edge.

She is found and nursed back to health by the kind-hearted Nhil people.

She has no memory.

No past.

And is given a choice that could change her forgotten life forever.

A pack of wolves adopt a man who begs for death in the grasslands.

Blood revives him. Flesh strengthens him. All while the alpha watches him as if he knows who he is.

He has no memory.

No past.

And yet…he’s drawn toward the smoke of a faraway clan.

And in that smoke, he finds a girl with the same mark on her thigh, the same empty mind, and the same forgotten language on her lips.

He’s convinced they know each other.

She’s certain they are strangers.

But the more time they spend together, the more tangled the truth becomes.

Their forgetfulness was deliberate.

To keep them apart.

To keep them lost.

To keep them from claiming their true power.

Because in that power exists a terrible choice.

A choice that could destroy the world…

…or each other.

When a Moth Loved a Bee is the first volume in the Epic Fantasy Romance Destini Chronicles.

A heavily romantic, spice-filled fantasy set in a world where life and death, shadows and stars watch over two forbidden lovers whose powers are best left forgotten.

Review – Blood of My Monster by Rina Kent

Blood of My Monster (Monster Trilogy, #1)

Blood of My Monster; Monster Trilogy #1
(#1 within a series)

Publication Date: January 26, 2023

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

Author: Rina Kent

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Wow! Explosive! Addictive! Couldn’t put it down once I began!

Rina Kent is queen for a reason and her monsters are deliciously supreme!!

There is nothing I love better than digging into the backstory of one of Rina’s characters. The way she weaves her plot and stitches in every sinful description or small tidbit, I completely gobble it all up like the starving reader I am. Her worlds are rich and I love how she winds them together just enough to find easter eggs, but every new couple is unique and completely stands on their own. I never fail to fall deeply in love with each new book, making a new favorite couple every single time.

Blood of my Monster is the beginning of Kirill and Sasha’s story. A mix between Mulan and Anastasia, Sasha’s story was emotional, raw, and gripping. Her background is shrouded in mystery and yet from what we come to know she is one of the most determined and strong women Rina has ever written. Her identity needs to stay hidden and while Kirill doesn’t know why, he keeps her secret as a keeper of secrets himself.

While meeting Kirill through other’s eyes in the past I wasn’t sure what to think of him, but now that I’ve gotten the chance to know him I love the monster that hides behind his glasses. Kirill, the captain in the army is strategic and passionate about his men. Kirill, a leader within the Bratva is strategic and looking to rule the world.

GAH!! This story is phenomenal and just beginning!!

Synopsis:
From the USA Today bestselling author Rina Kent comes a new dark mafia romance.

I’m out for revenge. He’s out to rule the world.
Kirill and I are as different as day and night.
We shouldn’t have been in the same frame or universe.
But we meet under the strangest circumstances.
He’s my superior in the military and the man who’ll introduce me to carnage.
His charm and exterior perfection shouldn’t have tempted me.
Behind the smokescreen lurks a manipulative emotionless monster.
And that monster might find out all my secrets, including the reason why I’m pretending to be a man.
He might also lure me to the point of no return.

This book is part of a trilogy and is not a standalone.

Review – When A Moth Loved A Bee by Pepper Winters

When a Moth Loved a Bee (Destini Chronicles, #1)

When a Moth Loved a Bee; Destini Chronicles #1
(#1 within a series)

Publication Date: February 3, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Fantasy/Star-Crossed/Forbidden Romance

Author: Pepper Winters

Review Rating: 4 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
At almost 1000 pages, this is the first book I’ve read by Pepper Winters. I finished this giant saga with soooooo many feelings that I’m still trying to process them even now after sitting on them for few days, but here goes nothing.

When A Moth Loved A Bee is prettily summed up in that it’s a fantastical new world where two destined, but star-crossed souls struggle to regain what they’ve lost over and over and over again.

In the not so pretty context this saga begins with two people, a man and a woman, who are both on the brink of death and they both have no recollection of who they are, who they were, where they come from, literally nothing remains in their heads, not even clothes on their back. They are both separate as they’ve been walking alone and naked and both lead very different journey’s back to health.

The woman’s journey, who was known as Girl for quite some time until she learns that her name is Runa meaning Bee, is found by a clan known as the Nhil. They control fire, and among them is where some of the fantastical element comes into play. It also didn’t take long to feel like the world was at a stage that is very dawn of time like. No technology, larger animals, wearing animal hides, etc… From the moment Runa wakes up with the Nhil people she feels indebted to them. It’s total feminine toxicity that is bred into our culture where females are made to feel guilty when given something, whether it is a physical item or emotional comfort. Let me state: love is unconditional and as a society we need to learn the UN part of that word better. Love does not mean servitude and yet Runa feels the shackles tightening every time she returns, but she doesn’t know how to break free from the guilt. Yes, you read that right…she returns…because she does leave with her star-crossed soulmate, several times in fact, but those darn shackles….they only have so much give you know.

The man, who is known as Stranger until we learn his name is Darro which means Moth, is adopted by wolves.You didn’t read that wrong…I said wolves. His journey is very different from Runa’s, but his pull to her is strong through the entire book. From the very first moment Darro sets his eyes upon Runa he feels it in his heart that she is his home. That they belong together and he spends the rest of the 900 pages convincing her of this truth, but remember what I said above. Frankly, I was a bit exhausted of him trying to convince her, especially with Runa’s tenacity for running back to the Nhil clan that uses and abuses her. Darro should have been exhausted too, but his unconditional love for her was steadfast and his strength of character is honestly what kept me reading.

I can’t say I’ve read a story that was written quite so beautifully, because Pepper does hold a gift for great writing, but on the opposite spectrum it was a story that also frustrated me by the characters motivations that I almost stopped reading. That really never happens. I did finish this book, but I do not believe I will continue with the second. While I loved Darro and truly cared about him from the very beginning, as a reader, I felt I cared about him more than his precious Bee.

Synopsis:
New York Times Bestseller, Pepper Winters, delivers a brand new High Fantasy Romance.

“It’s taking everything I have not to touch you. Not because I want to make you mine but because every part of me screams that you already are.”

A pack of wolves hunt a girl who takes her last breath by a river’s edge.
She is found and nursed back to health by the kind-hearted Nhil people.
She has no memory.
No past.
And is given a choice that could change her forgotten life forever.

A pack of wolves adopt a man who begs for death in the grasslands.
Blood revives him. Flesh strengthens him. All while the alpha watches him as if he knows who he is.
He has no memory.
No past.
And yet…he’s drawn toward the smoke of a faraway clan.

And in that smoke, he finds a girl with the same mark on her thigh, the same empty mind, and the same forgotten language on her lips.

He’s convinced they know each other.
She’s certain they are strangers.
But the more time they spend together, the more tangled the truth becomes.
Their forgetfulness was deliberate.
To keep them apart.
To keep them lost.
To keep them from claiming their true power.
Because in that power exists a terrible choice.
A choice that could destroy the world…
…or each other.

When a Moth Loved a Bee is the first volume in the Epic Fantasy Romance Destini Chronicles.
A heavily romantic, spice-filled fantasy set in a world where life and death, shadows and stars watch over two forbidden lovers whose powers are best left forgotten.

Recommended for readers over R18 due to explicit scenes, content, and darker elements.

Author Note:
This Fantasy is 100% romance. It isn’t a quest where they spend most of the book apart. If you want a rich world, magic, intrigue, oodles and oodles of page time with the two characters together, all brimming with longing, forbiddenness, and butterfly-winging moments, then this is the book for you.

Blog Tour – Forbidden by Tia Louise

FORBIDDEN by Tia Louise is now live!

 

FORBIDDEN
By Tia Louise

I have one job: Get close and take him out. The only problem is, I want him more.

I was barely five when I lost my brother; seven when my father was murdered.
Overnight, I was taken by my mysterious uncle, grafted into a world of crime I didn’t understand and couldn’t escape.

The first ten years, I did my best to blend in.
The next four, I reinvented myself, growing stronger, searching for answers. 
Now I have one assignment—take down the man who knows our secrets. 

Professor Dirk Winston is my target, and I’m expected to be a good soldier, disguised as a good student.
Only he’s not the passive bookworm I expect. 
He’s ripped muscles, bedroom eyes, dirty mouth, and ready for a fight.

But I’ve got my plans of my own, and this hot teacher is going to do more than give me grades and take my panties. 
He’s going to help me get revenge.

(FORBIDDEN is a five-alarm-spicy age-gap, student-professor romance with secrets, lies, and answers to all your questions. No cheating. No cliffhanger.)

Review – No Such King by Coralee June

No Such King (Bloody Royals, #1)

No Such King; Bloody Royals #1
(#1 within a series)

Publication Date: January 22, 2023

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

Author: Coralee June

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
ALL THE STARS!!! I already want more because I can’t stop thinking about every little nugget in this book. I was swept away and totally lost while reading. I had no idea what time or practically what day it was when I had to pull my head back out of the book. Yes, I was that completely lost within the pages. Saying I loved it doesn’t seem worthy enough.

I’ve been dying to return to the Kingdom of Aldrich after I read the prequel and No Such King broke my expectations out of the water. Lady Christine Abernathy was sent away at the end of the prequel to protect her life, but now that the King is dead she’s been summoned back. However, she had no idea what the former Queen had in mind when she stepped back into Aldrich or she might never have returned. There is darkness in the halls and evil reminders she’d rather never think of again, but when she’s told she will marry Prince Augustus, the new King, Christine has little choice but to stay. I wasn’t sure whether to like Queen Isabella or hate her, perhaps a little of both.

Christine is quite different than when she left years ago and I loved how each new part of her molded to the three different men in her life. While the girl of the past intrigued August, Atticus, and Leo, the woman she is now knocks each of them to their knees and they honestly are thrown by it. Christine may have loved August and been his best friend when they were young, but they have both changed in the years she’s been gone. Christine is a phoenix and they were expecting a dove. It’s great.

August has great character growth and I love that he steps into the role he was born into, but he wishes that his fiancée was a sweet quiet girl, the girl from his youth…sorry, August, that girl is dead. The joyful girl that Christine once was now has darkness flowing through her veins and Atticus sees the woman behind the royal clothes. Everytime August gets hit with a new truth I could just imagine his huge anime eyes…and speaking of huge things on August….that opening…whew!!

Atticus is the devil’s advocate and I loved all of his wiley ways. Christine has a pull towards him for sure, but she also has a duty to uphold and I think she realizes that giving into Atticus will unleash all of her inner demons. Sort of a Hades and Persephone vibe I felt from them, truly delicious. I’m looking forward to getting even more of him and what he will bring to this story, I can’t wait.

Then there is her shadow, Leo. The man who seems to push her away at every turn, but also has a savior’s complex. Christine dreams of his strong arms the night her life changed, but a normal life with him is impossible, especially now that she lives in the light. Their push and pull is very angsty, but also wonderful to witness and I can’t wait for more.

This is not a reverse harem where there is an alpha among the men. This isn’t even a story where they all get along, it’s a story of angst, murder, and second chances. Where the princess doesn’t wait in the tower to be rescued, but instead she becomes the darkness and learns to save herself. No Such King is just the beginning and I’m salivating to return to the world once again.

Synopsis:
A puppet, a prince, and a playboy. One arranged marriage. Three men I must keep at arm’s length.

Atticus Dupont has been watching me from a distance, controlling my life like he controls the seedy criminal underground. He longs to own my mind, body, and soul.

Leo Winthrop is willing to do whatever it takes to protect me from the horrors of this castle, even if it means being cruel and pushing me away.

and Prince Augustus? He’s a reluctant royal that would rather sleep his way through court than be forced into an arranged marriage with me.

I fled the kingdom four years ago, planning to never return.

But the king is dead.The kingdom is in chaos.

My duty makes it impossible to walk away.

One thing I know for sure: I have to open my cracked heart, because this crown is too heavy for one lover to bear.A puppet, a prince, and a playboy. One arranged marriage. Three men I must keep at arm’s length.

This is a reverse harem romance.

The Bloody Royal series should be read in order for the greatest enjoyment.

Review – Forbidden by Tia Louise

Forbidden; Hamiltown Heat #4
(standalone within an interconnected series)

Publication Date: January 12, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Forbidden/Age-Gap/Student-Professor/Intrigue Romance

Author: Tia Louise

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Forbidden perfection!!

Dirk is one dirty talking dream that flew right into the deep recesses of my forbidden heart. Seriously, who knew that Hutch’s little brother was such a panty-dropping dreamboat? Fantasy fulfilled, thank you Tia!!

I never would have guessed the total plot perfection that Forbidden tied up with a beautiful- no stone left unturned- bow. It is reading magic and I love when that happens. Plus…the epilogue…oh, the epilogue, is pure gold!! So, with all of that being said, while this can be read as a standalone, for obvious reasons as you can see above and for the most reading enjoyment, I wouldn’t miss out on the rest of the series, why would you want to, but you can if you want to.

Dirk Winston begins teaching at a college about an hour away from Hamiltown. Putting his teaching degree to use he decided he needed a break from cybersecurity and all of the loving relationships that have sprung up around him. While he loves his brother and newly found family, he just needed to get away, but it seems that even when trying to get away from everything, he just can’t seem to escape his past.

When Rainey enrolls as a student under the false name of Reanna Lorak, changing her appearance from the last time Dirk would have seen her on any kind of surveillance camera, Rainey now looks like a typical college senior. She’s given a mission to retrieve a ledger that contains secrets only her organization would understand and that her new leader desperately wants. Rainey may take the mission under the pretences of handing it over to her boss, but she has own mission in mind, getting revenge for her father. It also doesn’t hurt that upon meeting Dirk that there is an instant attraction for the Professor and considering the life she’s led, she decides she wants him for herself. It’s forbidden on so many levels, but something this forbidden feels so right.

Forbidden is super high heat, with a wrap up to an ongoing storyline, but can also be followed along for any reader who has just jumped in. If that’s you, you will want to go back and read the rest, trust me!! You will fall in love with the rest of the cast by the end of this book and want to know everything.

I can’t decide who my favorite couple is, so I’m not going to…I love them all!!

Synopsis:
I have one job: Get close and take him out. The only problem is, I want him more.

I was barely five when I lost my brother; seven when my father was murdered.
