Married Blind (Kings of Screen, #2)Married Blind by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first ready by Morgan Bevan but I will be reading more for sure! This story is told by each of their POVs, which helped to give the full picture.
Finn and Abi come from very different backgrounds. They find each other on reality tv and are married on the first meeting. I love that this story starts with marriage and then we watch them work through their differences.

Highly recommend giving this a read if you like rom cons.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I picked up this book in hopes of starting a whole new series and I can happily say, I will be reading the rest!

This book was a ride! There is almost 2 stories happening. The biggest one being the reunion of Cole and Ava after a tragic event in the beginning of their marriage. It truly was a reminder how important communication is in a relationship.

The second story in the book is where we start to learn about the mission the four friends are on as part of the freemasons.

The Debt Collector (An Underground Bad Boys Romance)The Debt Collector by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great read! I was hesitant at first given that it starts off with the doctor saving a girl from what seems to be an underground trafficking situation. However, the story takes off pretty quickly and doesn’t slow down. While there is plenty of spice happening there is also a deeper story to unravel. It may have been a short and quick read, but it was jam packed with intensity!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! This was a great story!!
It started off a bit slow but picks up about midway through. There is so many twists and turns that kept my interest. There were some evenings, I couldn’t put the book down because I had to know what was next.
It also intrigued me that the story is set in more recent times. Hearing Josie talk about the beginning stages of the pandemic and the fear for her family that came with it was relatable.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first mafia book so I don’t know what to expect but I can honestly say, I plan to read the rest in the series for sure!
It took me a bit to get into it and understand the families and characters but after a couple chapters, I was sucked in!
I have to say, it was better than I expected!
So much angst in the beginning but it quickly turned into chemistry and passion between Luc and Summer!
