The Mastermind (WaterFyre Rising, #1)The Mastermind by Nadia Han
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nadia did an awesome job for her debut book. Remington Starke, aka Remi is a successful business man, typical alpha male. Audri Wu is his best friends sister. She is a successful woman herself. Both Remi and Audri house their own demons and secrets. They have known each other since they were children because Remi and her brother have been best friends for as long as they can remember. Remi ends up being Audri’s boss, forcing them to come face to face again. Remi has always has feeling for Audri but she is off limits, best friends sister and all. The more time they end up spending together they just cant stay away from each other. The plot to the story was fantastic and I cant wait to see what this author does next!

The True Garza (Red Cage, #3)The True Garza by S. Ann Cole
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an awesome read! True Garza is a player, he only interacts with women for one thing. And True has severe ADHD. London (aka Lonny) is a PI and has a bit of baggage from her past. After a horrible moment in her life she met True Garza and they had a wonderful week together, but she knew him by another name then. Now she has moved back home and doing a job for the Red Cage and run into him again. I absolutely loved the back and forth between Lonny and True. The portrayal of having ADHD and being with someone who has ADHD was very well written and hit true to home with my own experiences. Will absolutely be reading more from this author.

Blood Oath (Mafia Elite, #2)Blood Oath by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Enzo and Sofia’s story is so great. Their story together goes back to their childhood where Enzo took a blood oath to protect Sofia. They path to each other is not easy, Enzo just wants to protect her but she also has her own secrets putting her in danger. I was just pulled into the story. Blood Oath brought out a few new mysteries and story lines as well. Elena comes into the picture (since I didn’t read these in order I already know what happens, definitely keep reading the books!) It was nice to have her introduced. And who is the Rat? I have my suspicions :).

No Way Out (Mafia Elite, #1)No Way Out by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I did not start with this book for this series. It was a accident but I knew after reading Savage Secrets I had to come back and read the other ones! I am a complete sucker for a mafia romance and this one did not disappoint. Mac and Lil have such a great story. With out even knowing each other they knew the other was going to be hard to stay away from. Amy does an amazing job at balancing the romance, suspense, and action throughout her books! Can’t wait to move on to the next one!

The Cruiser (The Hustlers Trilogy, #1)The Cruiser by Rowan Rossler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I devoured this book in one sitting. Vandana’s (what a beautiful name) life just blew about the time she was advised by her business partner that she was meeting with a hot shot yacht designer. Morgan, is a playboy, that’s his reputation. Everywhere he goes he has women hanging all over him. Vandana goes to Monaco to handle all of this PR concern, hoping for it to be a distraction from her own personal life. There were so many things I enjoyed about this book, the scenes from Italy and Monaco were written very well, Vandana’s friends I wanted more of, the steam between Morgan and Vandana! I will never look at mango the same way again! Highly suggest.

Evil Sushi (Evil Sushi #1)Evil Sushi by C.A. King
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was a difficult book for me to finish. I love a lot of this authors work but this wasn’t one of them. I think the concept of very different and I haven’t seen anything like it. I just wish there was more to it. The character were lacking and missing a connection to them. I think this story had so much potential that just wasn’t met for me. If your looking for a story you have never read before this is it.

Saving Marvel (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation Book 4)Saving Marvel by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by Manda Mellett and I will absolutely be putting her on my list of authors to go back and read more books from.

Even though I have not read other books in this series, I don’t feel like I missed anything by not reading them.

Marvel and Virginia meet during a bank robbery where they end up talking for hours hidden in a room waiting for the cops to diffuse the situation. They open up to each other about the event that changes their life. Virginia seems to be a b ad luck magnet and Marvel cant resist to be her knight and shining armor. The big question is if they can both overcome their past to trust one another and build a future together. 100% would recommend.

Spring’s Showers (Romantically Seasonal Series) by C.A. King – Review by Allison Davis

Spring's Showers: Romantically Seasonal: SpringSpring’s Showers: Romantically Seasonal: Spring by C.A. King
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I loved the concept of this book but it didn’t quite hit for me. I love other things from this author so I 100% believe its just me.
What I liked:
-The concept of the story. The other gods things Eros is a lighting stock and his job as cupid is the easiest. They make a bet that they can do his job in return for him doing theirs.
-Spring, I loved her as a character, she is dead set on making her family gardening shop a success. I love a character with dedication.
What I felt like was missing:
(view spoiler)[- More between Alex and Spring, you had a feeling they would end up together from the start but there was just something missing. (hide spoiler)]
– Luke, very much felt like that character was not needed at all for this story, I understand it was Gretas initial love interest for Spring but I just felt like it was a useless character.

Since there are other gods I feel this book is set up to have sequels and I will probably read them as well because I love the author, this one just wasn’t for me.

The Wounded Cowboy Billionaire (Billionaire Hearts Ranch, #1)The Wounded Cowboy Billionaire by Edith Mackenzie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Yall I was not prepared for this book. I cried so many times while reading. Colt life has been very difficult, he has lost so many people in his life. Through all that grief he pushed everyone away that was there for him. The story is about colt figuring out how to grieve, let people in, and love. He learns that money can’t fix everything. I think this book will never get the credit it deserves when talking about grief and how it affect people. It’s a tough thing to read and experience. I will absolutely be diving into other work from this author.

If you need a short sweet romance story to read this is it. At only 109 pages you can fly through this adorable opposites attract story. Clover and Shamrock are 2 VERY different people, but they always say that opposites attract. And boy did they! This was a wonderful Rom Com that I would suggest to anyone needing a quick ready! Will definitely be diving into other works by this author.

(UN)Loved (Mixed Emotions Series) by Katy Hunter – Review by Allison Davis

(Un)Loved (Mixed Emotions, #1)(Un)Loved by Katy Hunter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sophie is a famous actress who has been in the industry since she was a child. She is extremely dedicated to her job which leaves her without many personal relationships. She has some major attraction for her now ex costar G. He offers to have her come to his family’s farm in France so she can take a break from her career.

There was so much potential for the story here but there was some things I didn’t care for. The drama was a bit much. Both Sophie and G had their own things to work through on the trip but everything was so quick. Realistically the problems they had to figure out wouldn’t be as quick to resolve so the timeline seemed to be much longer than it actually was. There was also a TON of back and forth in their relationship that was just too much for my taste.

The story was still enjoyable so I would definitely read something else from this author.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Dr. D is a pediatrician at a hospital where is has a bit of a reputation. He’s is known for being a fantastic lover but never going past a one night stand. Emily doesn’t think this man exist but after a VERY drunken night she is corrected. Dr. D and Emily have great chemistry and even though this was a novella there was just enough plot to compliment their relationship. This was a super fun and quick read, you can never go wrong with a steamy doctor!

Road Rage (OUTLAW, #4)Road Rage by Karina Kantas
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Please read the trigger warnings before reading this book!

Road Rage is a very quick read! Gem is a strong lead female through out the book, she holds her own and takes no shit from anyone but her past has caused her to be this tough woman. She wasn’t given much of a choice to be what’s she has become. You get a look into her past, the pain and trauma she has been through while watching her open up to her love of racing. I do wish the books were longer, I felt there was so much opportunity for more character development and more details to the story but it’s still good as it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This a quick and steamy romance read! Forbidden love between Leon (master) and Penny (his slave) during a time period where love between the owner and slave was forbidden let alone a interracial couple. Penny’s character development was fantastic, you get to see her grown into her own woman. Leon took some getting use to, but but the time his intentions were out there, you learn to love him. If you want a romance books with some spice and little bit of story, this is totally for you.

The MesmeristThe Mesmerist by Claire Luana
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Mesmerist was a great fantasy mystery read. The world building was fantastic, from the magic all the way to the country the story is set in. Jana was a well written protagonist, she gets thrown right into the thick of it quick into the book after the Queen was killed. She doesn’t have much time to think before she go into solving mode. Throughout the story, clues were introduced perfectly, just enough to keep you on the “who dun it” trail. I was continuously shocked and left wanting more at the end of each page. Jana is tested with truth, confidence, love, lust, lies and friendship throughout the book. The books leaves you satisfied with he resolution but leaves just enough open to allow for other books if decided. I would LOVE to have more books from this world and these characters.

Savage Secrets (Mafia Elite, #4)Savage Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read from Amy McKinley. It can be read as a stand alone but is apart of her Mafia Elite series. Marco and El have history together from their childhood which makes for a wonderful romance story. El has always loved Marco and heir connection is strong and you can feel that from Amy’s writing. The fire between El and Marco, combined with the drama from 2 mafia families… *chefs kiss* I will absolutely be going back to read the other book on the Mafia Elite series and will venture into her other works.

I absolutely love the story. Sophia (Tia) is a woman trying to get her life back and Theo is recovering from a injury. What I loved most was the communication between them, their ability to trust and be trusted, cared for and listened to in a way they haven’t before. The give and take to what a relationship should be. Even throughout the drama of the book they were able to find joy and comfort in each other. I’m really looking forward to the other books in this series.

Sinful Vow (Dark Mafia Sins, #0.5)Sinful Vow by Emily Bowie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you love a good mafia romance you would absolutely love Sinful Vow. Luca and Aly are quite the duo. They both have their own past that comes to haunt them, but together they can get through anything. This is an unpredictable enemies to lovers story with fierce banter, rival mafia families and steamy romance! A little dark and dirty 😉 What is not to love <3
