Bared. (A Green St. Girls Romance) by N.D. Jackson

4 out of 5 stars

Our past does not dictate who we are or who we become. This is what Athena, Indigo, and Gwyn are trying to prove everyday by working hard and being successful. Athena has built a life of success but is she really living? Athena, Indigo and Gwyn lost their fourth sister, Charlie, a year ago. No one has been the same, but Athena is the worst. Athena had already lost so much, her family, her town, her safe place. Charlie’s death was just one more person leaving her.

Tru Blake is a professional pool player. He arrived at his latest tournament with a goal, take home the prize. Tru didn’t know the prize was going to be the bar’s owner, Athena. Tru is finding that getting Athena to be open to more than just a fling is more difficult than making it as a pro. Will he be the one that can get her to open up?

N.D. Jackson created a world of Alpha billionaire women in a genre dominated by alpha males. I can’t get enough of Athena, Gwyn and Indigo!!! The women are smart, funny, successful, powerful, and deliciously delightful! The sisterhood they have formed is amazing. I am hooked! I laughed, I yelled, I cried, I cheered! I can’t wait for more from these three!

There are discussions around suicide during the story that might not be suitable for all audiences.

Hawke (Men of Syn Duet) by Anise Storm

4 out 5 stars

Charlotte Maxwell was well known in the Denver social scene, partially because of who her parents were and partially because she had been making a name for herself as an event planner. Charlotte’s latest client is hauntingly familiar, but unknown.

Nathaniel “Hawke” Hawkins is opening a new exclusive club in Denver. He randomly picks Charlotte’s company off a list that a friend had given him, but when he realizes who she is, he wishes he had picked differently. The connection is undeniable. Hawke is unwilling to allow Charlotte in his life because he doesn’t believe she will be able to handle his demons. Charlotte has lived a life of privilege and beauty. Hawke’s life has been anything but.

Charlotte’s attraction to Hawke puts her directly into the view of the latest deviant stalking women in Denver. Can Hawke save Charlotte before she becomes the latest victim? Will she save him from his demons in the process?

Anise Storm collides Hawke’s tortured soul with Charlotte’s love. The push and pull between these two characters builds until it seems they might be torn apart forever by something they never expected. I would have enjoyed more background on the stalker and think that this character could have been developed more. The stalker’s identity kept me guessing until the reveal. Looking forward to Caine!

Trigger warning: This story contains depictions of child abuse and BDSM scenes. May not be suitable for all audiences.

Once again India Kells takes you on a heart-pounding ride with these bastard brothers. The action and steam could light-up a small town. I was hooked from the first page and held on with both hands until the last. I can’t wait until the final chapter in this series!

Sam Sarkhan had his tribe until he was ripped away from everything he knew and loved by Jamieson Finch, the man that fathered him. Sam escaped him, once. Sam had found another family in the men that all carried the same paternal lineage, but none of the scars. Sam’s couldn’t battle the demons anymore. On New Year’s Eve, Sam decided he had fought long enough. Sam calls his oldest brother to say goodbye, but gets a woman’s voice instead.

Ellie McLaren answered Sam’s call. She had been on the verge of making the same decision that led Sam to place the call. After hearing Sam’s voice, Ellie decided that she still had things for which she wanted to live. Sam hoped to find a way to make things better for Ellie but instead dragged her into his world and his fight with Finch. Now keeping Ellie safe is all that matters to Sam, even when that means walking back into his nightmare. Can Sam escape Finch a second time? Will Ellie’s need to save Sam be enough to actually do it? Will Finch finally find the justice he deserves?

The story will have you hanging on the end of your chair to find the answers to those questions and so much more. Another amazing chapter in this series!

Wow! I don’t know where to start. There is so much to love in this book it is hard to decide what to talk about first. The fun banter between characters, the tenderness the author uses when addressing past trauma, the fun steamy scenes, the amazing sisterhood, and much more make this a heartwarming start to this series that leaves you tapping your fingers with impatience for the next chapter!!

Chloe Larson is a dedicated friend. Chloe lives with her two best friends, Gaby and Jess. Chloe is a fledgling reporter that has big hopes and dreams when it comes to her job. She has just gotten a promotion at work that is giving her more options to pursue different stories. One of these stories brings her face to face with Chris Sherman, principal of one of the local high schools.

What isn’t there to love about Chris? A dedicated educator who lives with his brother and is close to his family? From the moment Chloe walked into Chris’ office, he knew there was something special about the amazing woman that came to interview him. Chris just didn’t know how special until he started to get to know her.

This story is so much more than the budding love between Chloe and Chris. The reader gets to know Jess and Gaby, Chloe’s best friends, and gets a peek into their unbreakable sisterhood that has withstood years of trials, break ups, family drama, and all the things life can throw at them. At first it seems all too much, so many characters to learn! But, without learning how each person plays into the life of the other, the story would not be as full or rich. These three friends, and their lives, are intertwined so thoroughly that it is important to follow every thread of this enduring and heartwarming story. It makes you hope there can be a fourth pea in that pod!!
