What a way to jump into this world! This is a very short novella, but boy, does it pack a punch! I am looking forward to diving further into this world.
Emily is a detective who has worked hard to get to where she is. But despite that, there are people on the force who are not her friends. When she finds a big case that could make her career, she enlists Cutter, the SAA, for a local MC. But it has to be underwraps. This is a DDLG dynamic, and if that is your thing, this is definitely for you. As a reader who prefers a full plot with a little spice vs. all spice and little plot, this wasn’t my favorite. The conversations between characters were sometimes written in a way that didn’t sound like how people actually talk to each other, and I found that pulling me out. All in all, if this is the type of trope and dynamic you’re into, this is for you.

Okay, I enjoyed this installment of The Savage Duet much more than the first. You can tell that these characters really grew on the author. While I found the pacing a little off at times, everything seemed to really come together for the second half of the book.

Song of Earth and Claws has all the making of a fantastic fantasy series! There is political intrigue, duels, and an interesting magic system. I really enjoyed the way the main character is not what she seems and really starts to bring people to her side without them even realizing it. I wish that the world building had gone a little more in-depth, but I wasn’t disappointed. I’m hoping to see more in this world.

I really wanted to like this one. It’s your typical trope of kidnapping the sister of a man who owes you money while driving her mad with lust and the ending on a cliff hanger. I think for me, there just needed to be a bit more editing. For those who are fans of this trope and genre, you will enjoy it. It just wasn’t for me.

I really like the way this series wrapped up. I love the twists and turns that all end up with a happy ending that this author manages to do. I would read every single thing they write and hope they continue.

As with every installment in The Echo Series, you are in for a sweet happily ever after. But the journey that the couple takes to get there is where all the fun is. Lina and Curtis’ love story is just as sweet as all of the installments, and they definitely have the strangest meet cute I’ve ever read. But it all works out.

What do you get when the son of a farmer dreams of a more fast-paced life? A whirlwind of a story, that’s what. Fenimore always wanted more, so he decided to leave home to find the adventures he’d always dreamed of. This is an excellent book for any Western fans out there. You will find yourself drawn in from the very start and won’t be able to put it down.

Once again, I find myself flying through another Hidden Valley Elite installment… this time while literally flying. I really enjoyed learning more about Shane’s back story in this one, as he’s always just been on the outskirts previously. My ONLY complaint is that I wish we didn’t end on a cliffhanger. Each installment in this series ends on a cliffhanger and could easily have each duet be one book. But I will wait as patiently as I can for the next one.

Wild Lavender was intriguing from the very start. Anna, newlywed to Roger, looks forward to starting her life with him at his home. Unfortunately, things seem off from the first few people she meets there and all too violently she learns just what kind of man her husband is. War is coming, and Anna must do what it takes to save her family and people. Larkin, a man from her past, is suddenly thrust right back into her life, and it may make things worse, or he may be who she’s been needing all along.
I enjoyed Anna’s resilience in this and her care and devotion to others. I look forward to seeing more from this series.

Kelleher – Review by Brittany Angel
Another great one in the Balefire series. Wild For Me is book 3 in the series but can be read as a standalone. When Dakota and Annabelle cross paths again for the first time since their one wild, crazy night, sparks fly. Soon, Annabelle scores the internship of a lifetime and will once again be in Dakota Perri’s orbit. This was a fun, quick read and does really well telling the characters stories. I will, however, stand by my stance that a miscommunication trope is never a good choice. It’s always too predictable and seems 100% avoidable, but alas, it still worked out, and we got out HEA.

When I tell you, I inhaled this book. I absolutely inhaled it. Cruel Love picks up right where we were left at the end of Cruel Hate. (Man, that cliffhanger!) While there are some obstacles for the characters to overcome, they overcome them quickly and lead you to exactly where you want to see them. Except for the latest cliffhanger! Setting you up perfectly for the next installment! I’m dying to find out what happens next!

OMG OMG OMG that cliffhanger will be the death of me! I don’t know how Isla Vaughn does it, but she has a way of pulling you in, twisting you all around, and leaving you gasping right at the very end. I never know what’s coming next with her work, but man, do I love the way she keeps me on the edge of my seat. I need these characters to have a happy ending like I need to breathe.

You definitely get more than you expect with Cruel King! The grumpy male main character, Matthias, is devastatingly sad with the world on his shoulders. Our main female character, Ava, is head strong and knows what she wants. Ava is best friends with Matthias’ younger brother, but she and Matthias have never really meshed well, but one day, fate brought them together just as fast as it tore them apart. There is definitely heartbreak in this novel, but also a lot of character growth and love. I need a different book for every brother.

This was my very first hockey romance, and I may be a fan for life now. When Dimitri and Austen find themselves in an unfortunate situation, they decide to make the best of it as they can. What then ensues is some of the funniest banter I’ve read in a while. Their relationship slowly goes from strangers to friends to lovers in the best way. By then end, you can’t help but cheer them on in their love for one another. I plan to add the rest of this series to my TBR because I need to know what happens with the other characters in this!

This was an excellent prequel into the next duet in the Hidden Valley Elite series. When Aspen and Phoenix’s paths cross, neither of them will realize what the lasting impact will be. I started to really warm up to Phoenix in Brutal Nights, and now I can’t wait yo get to know both him and Aspen more.

I think that Damon is now my favorite MMC in this series. He puts on a hard exterior, especially when it comes to making a bargain with Sky to help her best friend Gia. But in reality, he’s a big cinnamon roll for Sky. I really liked Sky, with her sass, snark, and loyalty. Having picked up right where we left off at the end of Brutal Days, this installment of the Hidden Valley Elite moves quickly, leading up to the HEA you are rooting for with this couple.

Twisted Bond is your typical enemies to lovers romance novella, with a dded twist of magic. Rose is trying to get her coven’s magic back from the coven that stole it and cursed them. Titan is the prince of the enemy coven but isn’t quite sure whether or not he wants to take over from his father. He finds himself enchanted with Rose and doesn’t know why. This novella moves very quickly, so if you are looking for something fast paced with a little smut and very little world building, this is for you. For me, I enjoy thorough world building and a solid establishment of the magic system, so the pace of this left me wanting a little more. There were some plot holes, but the interaction between the characters makes up for it in the end.

A classic tale of forbidden romance and close proximity. Catrina had no plans on her relationship with Nathan being anything more than professional. Nathan has other plans. The couple tries to keep their distance from each other, but the tension grows and grows until it threatens to burn everything down. This was an enjoyable read, and I am looking forward to the final installment of the Kings of Screen series.

As with all of this author’s books, you are immediately drawn into the story. Lorenzo hires a somewhat frustrating journalist to start to spin stories in their favor, but he definitely got more than he bargained for. While this is the third installment of the Sicilian Gods Series, you can read this as a standalone. Though you won’t want to. You’ll want to know each and every character’s story!

Another really sweet romance from this author! I don’t want to say too much for fear of spoiling anything, but it was an enjoyable read from start to finish. I loved getting to see Chris get his happy ending after all. We even still got to see someone our favorite characters from the previous books in the series too.

This one wrapped up really nicely. Our characters get a happy ending after the problems that Riley and her mother are running from come to a head. Though, at times, the story felt a little disjointed. Just needed a little more time to flesh out the Mafia backstory.

A nice little start to this series. We get a decent introduction to all of the main characters a year before the events in Savage Lies. Riley and her mother are in a new town again, and only this time, things are different. Her mother says they will be staying a while and to get comfortable, but Riley is waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Savage Lies picks up a year after the events in Savage Start. Riley and her mother are back in town once again, and Riley has every reason to be weary. Her mother assures her they are there to stay and that she needs to get comfortable. The biggest problem she has is Cole Savage and the fact that he will do anything to get her out of his life and town.

After reading The Cruiser, I couldn’t wait for The Challenger. Th Hustlers Series pulls you right in and doesn’t leave you wanting.
In this installment, we meet Flynn, who is a motivational author and speaker. While at her doctor’s office, she runs into Chavez, a world-renowned tennis star with a reputation. Together, they turn up the heat and work to win. We get a happily ever after, and I can’t wait for the next installment.

His Forever Muse finds Brandon Rossi on a journey of rediscovery when he runs into “the one that got away” while on the other side of the world. Being a lover of love and with there being 15 years to catch up on, he decides that he will do what it takes to reconnect with Callie. What he didn’t plan on was the nightmare she had previously escaped, which is now trying to overtake her life again. While a part of a series, this can be read as a standalone, and while there are some darker elements than the previous installment, the author achieves another sweet, heartfelt novel.

The Thieves is the second installment of the Millersville Series. While a part of a series, it can be read as a standalone. This is a multiple POV and tells the story of 2 different groups of people. You have Jas and Phil who are trying to get money to take care of Jas’ dad when their plans are foiled by Becs and Zerk. This then sends you on a journey where you meet additional outlandish folks, and you can only hope that it all works out in the end.

This author’s storytelling has me hooked. The character development and banter are unmatched. Here, we dive into Zoey/Shadow’s story, and it is dark. What’s amazing and consistent is those she is surrounded by and their love and concern for her. How she learns to navigate that and grow by the end is wonderful. I would read 100 mire stories about Zoey.
What do you get when you have a badass female biker gang blowing up sex trafficking rings and helping the victims heal? A fantastic story, that’s what. I went into this one, assuming there would be quite a bit of smut, and was thoroughly surprised to find very little smut and a full-on plot. Though I wished we had a full-blown action scene during the big climax, I’m happy with how things went and am immediately jumping into the second installment.
