Heavy Shot by Toni Aleo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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!

Cruel Start by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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.

Brutal Nights by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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 by Danielle Jacks – Review by Brittany Angel

Twisted Bond by Danielle Jacks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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.

Acting Counsel by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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.

Consigliere’s Revenge by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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!

Unexpected Entanglement by C.R. Alam
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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.

Savage Truth: A High School Bully Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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.

The Challenger: A Sports Romance Saga by Rowan Rossler

After reading The Cruiser, I couldn’t wait for The Challenger. Th Hustlers Series pulls you right in and doesn’t leave you wanting.

His Forever Muse by C.R. Alam
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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 by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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.

Shadow by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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.

Tink by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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.

Ruthless Hawke by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When Giacomina and her daughter Viviana need to pack their things quickly and get out of town with her father due to an unknown risk to their family, she never imagines running into him. Nolan. The man who has not left her mind for 5 years.

When he walks into his father’s office and sees the one woman who he has been obsessed with for the last 5 years, his world is turned upside down.

This book has forced proximity, second-chance romance, a pending mafia war and so much more. Written incredibly well, you can’t help but fall into the lives of every character in this book. I am looking forward to reading everything this author has about these families.

Echoing Hearts by C.R. Alam
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a sweet, romantic, read. Rae and Dean don’t really believe in love anymore due to experiences in their pasts. But when fate aligns for a chance encounter, they find that it isn’t always easy to ignore your heart. This novel was moderately paced and the banter between the two was very entertaining. A great Saturday morning read.

Hot For Me by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was really entertaining and well written. When you put the biggest rock band in the world and the biggest pop star on the same tour, crazy things are bound to happen. While this is the 4th installment in the Balefire series, it can be read as a stand alone. I am not typically one to go for Rockstar romances and I’m starting to think maybe I should start. Every character was a delight on the page and I really wish I had more of Christy’s snarkiness to devour.

Shore Lodge by Susan Specht Oram – Review by Brittany Angel

Shore Lodge: A high-stakes psychological thriller by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shore Lodge made me aware of a fear I never knew I had. When Jacklyn’s husband of 37 years dies and she discovers he was keeping some heavy secrets from her she’s in shock and falls into depression. Luckily she has her son who stepped up and has started to help her get back on track with all of the things she’s been forgetful about. Even signing over power of attorney to him to make sure she’s taken care of should anything happen. Next thing she knows, she’s been admitted to Shore Lodge and has no contact with anyone in the outside world while her son runs amuck with her life and finances.

This was quite the thriller and kept my blood boiling the whole way through, every time things seem to finally go her way, we’re pulled sideways.

Hush, My Darling by Winter Austin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow!! I’m not one to normally pick up a thriller but every time I do, I’m reminded why I need to read them more often. Hush, My Darling takes you on an investigative journey, searching for the I-80 killer once they hit far too close to home for Deputy Lila Dayne. She’s the one who got away and the I-80 killer is coming back after her. I devoured this novel and gasped far too many times as we reached the climax of the story. I am looking forward to reading another one of the Benoit and Dayne Mysteries.

Underboss’s Retaliation by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Underboss’s Retaliation was even better than Boss’s Vendetta. Dominic Larussio finds himself in close quarters with Emelia. The De Rosa’s mafia princess. She is 100% a “wildcat” and entirely badass. Their banter was incredibly entertaining and Emelia’s way she never stops fighting or getting under Dominic’s skin is brilliant. While this is book 2 in The Sicilian Gods series, it can be read as a standalone.

What Actually Happened to Isaac Moore by Samantha J. Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What Actually Happened to Isaac Moore is a fantastic fantasy novel that gives you everything you expect in a fantasy novel. You have pirates, magical creatures, far away lands, and battles. You meet a lot of characters a long the way and I will have to say that Nothe really stole the show for me on this one. It was wrapped up nicely but boy do I wish there were some novellas with additional adventures for each of the characters.

Practically Pagan – An Alternative Guide to Magical Living by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I went into this book thinking it would have some more alternative pagan practices and how that application applies to your day to day life. Only this reads much more like a self help book for those stuck in a rut and looking for a way out with a magical aspect. It is written very well and has a lot of information on what needs to be unlearned in your journey to make room for more fulfilling things. Would be great for anyone looking to make changes in their lives and to connect with the divine feminine.

Degrees of Innocence: Dark Mafia Romance (Cruel Deceptions Book 1) By Via Mari – Review by Brittany Angel

December 1, 2022/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Brittany

Degrees of Innocence by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Degrees of Innocence is the first novel in the Cruel Deceptions series. While at a resort preparing for a week-long training and development session for a new medical center, Katarina meets a mysterious stranger named Chase under interesting circumstances. She soon learns that he isn’t entirely who he says he is thus starting a whirlwind of drama and pure lust. This feels very 50 Shades of Grey adjacent as Chase is very much Elijah from the vampire diaries and Christian Grey morphed into one man. While Katarina is a sweet, innocent, career driven woman.This was a quick, entertaining read that can absolutely be read in one sitting plus there are several books in this series ready to be devoured.
