Rivals (Mafia Elite, #7)Rivals by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rivals is the 7th book in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley, and I am loving this series. I have read every book so far and each one I have finished in less than a day as I couldn’t put them down. This book is the story of Nico and Mia. Mia, after escaping from the clutches of her twisted family tracks down Nico for help and in return she will give him the information that he needs to take down her family. I really enjoyed this book, I loved the dynamic between the two main characters but the main thing I really like is how the men in these stories treat the women as equals, fighting side by side rather than being left at home while the guys do all the fighting. The female characters really make this series for me. Cannot wait to get my hands on the next book!

The Secret CureThe Secret Cure by J.D. Spero
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Secret Cure is a gripping thriller by JD Spero, I didn’t know what to expect when I started this book from reading the description, but I was pleasantly surprised. The story switches between the 4 main characters Rosalie, Vincent, Anastasia and Cate. I think seeing things from each of the different perspectives really adds a different dimension to this book. I found it to be a compelling read and finished it in one day as I couldn’t put it down. The story had lots of twists that I wasn’t expecting and really enjoyed. Will definitely be looking out for other books by this author.

Love is Worth Fighting forLove is Worth Fighting for by Effie Kammenou
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love is worth fighting for is the third book in the Meraki Series, I have really enjoyed the series so far. Each book so far has followed a different sister, each going through a different stage in their life. This book follows Krystina and her turbulent relationship with childhood friend Loukas. Who have been destined to be together since childhood. I really liked this book, the fact that it tactfully covered the COVID period made it more heartfelt. As always I love the connection with the characters Greek culture and makes me want to visit Greece again. A very enjoyable read.

Victoriously Yours (Titans Of Manhattan #4)Victoriously Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Victoriously Yours is the 4th book in the Titans of Manhattan series by Anise Storm, this series is just fantastic, it doesn’t hide from the big issues and doesn’t pretend that everyone in a novel like this is perfect touching on issues such as mental health and childhood traumas. Kenzie is a flawed character, she has been hurt in the past and this has affected her view of relationships, when she goes to audition for the job of a lifetime, she doesn’t expect her potential employer to be the same boy that broke her years ago. Jonas is a successful businessman, a playboy about town, but no one realises the extent of his struggles. This was a really enjoyable read; the main characters are very likable and the story keeps you engaged. I am very much looking forward to book 5 in the series.

As Close to PerfectAs Close to Perfect by Maria Jane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bree has been burned by love in the past, she has had her heart broken by her past two boyfriends and has since given herself a strict list of rules to adhere too when it comes to men, no jocks, no corporate suits and no intimacy before relationships. When Bree meet Latvian- American Nate at her tennis club she he instantly hits the first two of her rules so she friend zones him and focusses on finding someone more suited to her goals. However, she quickly finds that things aren’t always as they first appear. This was a nice read, I initially didn’t really relate to the main female character, she was too closed off and judgemental, however she started to grow on me towards the end. I did like the main male character from the beginning.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a lot of the Satan’s Devils series by Manda Mellett and have loved every one of them however, I really liked the change of pace in this book from the others. The supernatural element was a great addition and it felt really refreshing. Raven has to return home to her childhood home after the death of her grandfather, however the cabin holds some ghosts from her past that just wont let her rest, when she literally runs into Dwarf on the road he is there to help her get past her demons. I liked the dynamic between the two main characters and feel that it would be good to get to know the rest of the brothers in the MC as they find their old women. I enjoyed this book and will definitely be reading more.

Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite Book 6)Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Collateral Damage is the 6th book in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley. I am really enjoying this series and have read all the books so far. I do recommend reading them in order as you get to know each of the characters individually and it will make the continuing storylines make more sense. In this book, Dr Trey La Rosa is tasked with finding the kidnapped stepdaughter of a colleague, but it is not as straightforward as it may seem at first. Trey and Hailey need to work together to find out her stepfather’s true intentions. I liked this book but feel it was a bit short, I would have loved more! I have so many unanswered questions but hopefully, some of these will be answered in Nico’s story. If you like a mafia romance with overbearing males but equally powerful females this is a series for you.

Unabridged (Smart & Sassy in the City, #2)Unabridged by Melinda De Ross
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unabridged is the first book I have read in the Lovestruck series by Melinda De Ross, this is a charming second chance romance with a bit of action thrown in. When Angie left the love of her life, Blade, she thought that she would never see him again. She had convinced herself that she made the right choice for them both but has never let him go, focusing on her career instead. When she finds out that her new boss is none other than the love of her life, Angie doesn’t know what to do, so she runs. Blade has never forgotten her either and is determined to get her back. This is a fun story, I liked the leading couple, enjoyed the twist of the crazy ex, and the other supporting characters. I would read the next book in this series.

Ruthless Heir: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite, #5)Ruthless Heir: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ruthless Heir is the 5th book in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley, I think this was one of my favourites in the series so far. Each book in the series follows a member of one of the main 5 Chicago Mafia families and the nice difference in this book is that Luc doesn’t know he is part of the elite, through the mother he never knew he is the rightful heir to one of the 5 families. A successful businessman in his own right, he is surprised when he is forced to go to Chicago to discover his true heritage, taking his reluctant assistant Summer along with him. Summer is on the run from her past and doesn’t want to get involved with anything to do with the mafia but finds protection in the strangest of situations. I really liked this book, I have been enjoying all the books in the series, there is lots of actions, strong female characters and interesting storylines. Highly recommend, looking forward to book 6!

A Hundred Wishes (Band of Sisters)A Hundred Wishes by Marianne Rice
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Hundred Wishes is the third book in the Band of Sisters series by Marianne Rice. This is the first book of the series that I have read, and I was able to understand and follow this as a standalone. When military veteran Gina is retired from the Army on a medical discharge after being injured horrifically on tour, she makes the decision to move to a small community to be close to her best friends. She is content with her new life, slowly recovering from her injuries and adjusting to being a civilian again. She doesn’t expect to find love and is very reluctant to get involved with anyone. When she meets fire investigator Bryce, he makes his intentions very clear from the start, but Gina is not as sure. This was a nice second chance at life romance novel. The characters were likable, and you hope that they get the happy ending they deserve. I would recommend to readers who are fans of contemporary romance.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Savage Secrets is the 4th book in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley. I have read all the books in this series so far and have nothing but praise for them. Each book focuses on the relationships between two mafia families. In this book we finally meet the elusive Elena, who has been presumed dead for a number of years. When the threat that made her leave initially finds out that she is still alive, boss Marco is sent to retrieve her. When reunited the pair get to know each other again, without a pesky arranged marriage in the way. I really like how strong the female characters are in this series, Elena especially has her own very valuable skill set that she can use to protect those she loves. Looking forward to reading book 5.

Imperfectly Yours (Titans of Manhattan #2)Imperfectly Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Imperfectly yours is the second book in the Titans of Manhattan series by Anise Storm. This book follows Elsa and Anton in the turbulent few months after their fairy tale wedding. Elsa is a highflying New York real estate broker, while her husband Anton is a major player in Hollywood. Shortly after their wedding the pair experience a tragedy which threatens to tear them apart and their future together hangs in the balance. This book is so emotive, I got emotional at several parts as my heart broke for them. Without spoiling the story Elsa does not cope well with her loss and the strain of this, as well as missing her husband, has serious implications. I really enjoyed this story and feel that many readers will be able to empathise with them. I am looking forward to finding out more about the other Titans in the upcoming books.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Born in darkness is the 3rd book in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley, I am really enjoying this series so far and I am so glad that this booked ended the way it did! I think I guess who had been betraying the families at the end of the last book so was very glad to see that story progress. This book follows Stefano and Emiliana, who have been in love for as long as they can remember but due to Stefano’s controlling father they were never able to get to be together, that is until Emiliana life is put at risk again. I really liked this book, my only gripe is that it ended too quickly! I wanted them to string out the final confrontation but that’s just because I was cheering them on. This is a fast paced and exciting read. Highly recommend.

Red's Peril Part 2: The Prez's Old Lady (Satan's Devils MC Vegas #2)Red’s Peril Part 2: The Prez’s Old Lady by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Red’s Peril Part 2: The Prez’s Old Lady is the second book in Satan’s Devil Vegas chapter books. Picking up from where part 1 left off the story follows club president Red while he tries to get his head around not only reuniting with the love of his life but also being a father. His child Zeke is a wonderful character and I really loved how this book respectfully introduced an LQBTQ character into a world that is predominantly not inclusive. The Satan’s Devils do take a while to get round to using the correct pronouns for Zeke but it is very well written. I have really enjoyed all the books in this world of bikers and their adventures. This is a testament to the author who not only has to keep track of a myriad of characters but also keep coming up with new ways to keep us readers hooked. I highly recommend.

Conveniently Yours is the first book in the Titans of Manhattan series by Anise Storm. This is the first book I have read by this author, but I look forward to reading more.

When Caspian is tasked with what seems like an unlikely goal by his uncle in order to take over the family business it is fate when he bumps into his childhood neighbour Paisley, who is going through a challenging time in her life. As the couple gets to know each other better they find that the marriage of convenience can be more than just a contract. This book has some really powerful storylines and I really enjoyed it.

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

Blood Oath is the second book in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley. I am really enjoying this series so far, it is a fast paced, exciting and romantic read. This novel centres around Enzo, mafia underboss of the Vitale family and Sofia, the princess of the La Rosa family. When Sofia is threatened by the Russian mob boss’s son, Enzo pulls out all the stops to try and ensure her safety, while also realising his true feelings for her. I really loved this book, the female characters are so strong and although the men will do anything to protect them, they are able to handle themselves. I am really looking forward to the next book in this series, I need to know who the “rat” in the family is, as I am sure that the author is laying a false trail just now. When I read the first book, I struggled placing all the characters with their respective families however by this book I feel that I know them all. Highly recommend.

Red's Peril Part 1: The Making of an MC Prez (Satan's Devils MC Vegas #1)Red’s Peril Part 1: The Making of an MC Prez by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Red’s Peril by Manda Mellett is the first part of the making on an MC Prez series, which follows the Satan’s Devils MC Las Vegas chapter. I am already a big fan of this series so this book was a real treat for me, I really enjoyed finding out Red made his way from being a small town mechanic in Vermont to becoming the President of the MC. Red is a complex character who, although initially unwilling to join an MC, finds that the biker way of life not only suits him but he thrives in it. However, he cannot get past the one who got away. Although this is part of a bigger series this book can be read as a standalone, I am eagerly awaiting part two to be released. The cast of characters that the author creates in this world are excellent, you get to know all the different personalities of the club members and their old ladies and I love how the different stories intersect each other. I really recommend this book (and all the other Satan’s Devils MC books) to anyone who is a fan of this genre.

Tenacious by Via Mari is the 6th book in the Billionaire Bodyguards series and although this can be read as a stand alone I would recommend reading the previous books in order to understand some of the references to past events and the other characters and how their relationships intersect. The story follows Allie, a strong independent woman, and Nick, the ultimate protective alpha male who is singularly focused on getting what he wants…Allie. This is a fast paced action packed book with likable characters who you root for. I would recommend to fans of this genre.

So Close is the 4th book in the Love Grows series by Renee Regent. The story follows single parent Dahlia, who has recently been promoted into her dream job role at the resort she works at and Levi, who has been hired to work with Dahlia on a time sensitive project. The only issue is that the pair already have a touchy history, from being best friends as children up until they became enemies 7 years ago. The pair had never admitted how they truly felt about each other. When they do finally reconnect, the question is will they be able to rebuild the trust that Dahlia feels was broken and will the other people in their lives let them succeed. This is an enjoyable contemporary romance, ideal for people who enjoy a second chance/friends to lovers’ romance. The characters are written well, and the author does a good job of immersing you in the scene.

Houses of deception is the 6th book in the Madeline Dawkins series by Cynthia Hamilton, and this series never disappoints. From the very beginning of the book when Maddie and Mike attend a very swanky party of one of their clients, you know it is going to be juicy. Followed up by the reemergence of their old reluctant tutor to investigate the disappearance of his nephew, you know things are never as straight forward as they first seem. This book is really enjoyable, has lots of twists in the tail that are totally unexpected and overall is a really good read. I have read all of the books in this series so far and just enjoy them more and more each time.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Secure Decision by RL Dunn is the 5th book in the Chase Security series, each book follows a different member of the team and can be read as a stand alone however I find it easier to keep track of who everyone is, as I have read each book in sequence.
Secure Decision follows Wes, a Chase Security Exec who has been tasked with opening and running the companies newest training centre, and Eleanor, who is hired as the head of the equine therapy team. Unfortunately, she is also on the run from her past and it seems that it is starting to catch up with her. When bodies start showing up on the grounds and the team is targeted by outside subjects it becomes difficult for the team to know who to trust. I really liked all the books in this series so far, but this one might be my favourite. It is fast paced, and action packed with a bit of romance thrown in too. It makes you really care for the characters and you find yourself cheering them on. I highly recommend to fans of this genre.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Love Unexpected by Marina Hanna is a fast-paced office romance. When a chance encounter at a bar between Jules and Adam sends sparks flying, it is a shock to Jules when she finds out that he is none other than her new boss. Unable to keep business and pleasure separate Jules starts to fall for Adam but the older business mogul has his walls up high and it is uncertain whether he will let her in. I liked this book but really didn’t like Adam to start with, he was too pushy and unable to see how great he had it with Jules but her tenacious nature was really refreshing, she wasn’t one of those heroines who let herself be fooled by the powerful man, she stood her ground and I really liked that. This is a very steamy novel but has a good story and some interesting characters, who I am sure will have fun stories of their own.

Love by Design is the second book in the Meraki series by Effie Kammenou. I have really loved both books in this series, I really enjoy how the author builds the characters and how they are so in tune with their heritage, I now really want to visit Athens! Also, the added recipes are a great touch. This story follows Mia in her new career as Associate Art Director at a new up and coming magazine. After having met Nicolas for the first time (or so she thought) at an event she was involved with she is delighted when she is hired in his new company, until she gets to know him. This was a sweet and fun novel with lovable characters and a sweet back story. I liked the use of flashbacks to show more about Mia’s grandfather’s history and hope that his story finally gets some closure in the next book.
