Ruthless Heir (Mafia Elite Book 5) by Amy McKinley – Review by Brittany Angel

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 installment in the Mafia Elite Series. Though it can be read as a standalone, you’ll want to read every single one as you learn more about each character and family member involved in this series. As Luc Savino learns of his role to play in the Brambilla family, his world is tossed around with his new executive assistant/one-night stand. Secrets start unraveling. As always, I am looking forward to the next installment.

The Wounded Cowboy Billionaire (Billionaire Hearts Ranch, #1)The Wounded Cowboy Billionaire by Edith Mackenzie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book tore through my heart over and over again. I had to set it down and come back to it because so much happened just in the first few chapters that I was in tears. It’s such a heart wrenching story, but a really good one!! I am glad that I finished it and I honestly can’t wait to read some of the other books this author has written. So to the book…. Colt is a rodeo star billionaire who’s life gets bucked right out of his own saddle. He’s racing around the barrels of trauma thrown his way at every turn, but his money just isn’t enough to fix the problems. What do you do when you have all the money in the world, but the health of others can’t be bought? Colt goes dark. He runs to the rodeo, fast cars, and booze to mask his pain and forget his life. A life in which his sister dies and leaves behind a baby. Evelyn is a life long childhood best friend of Colt’s sister and a traveled artist. She has studied in London and trained in Venice, but when her friend needs her she comes back Texas. She knows that she can help Colt and the baby, but he is so broken that he gives up and runs. He leaves her with the baby with no warning and no discussion. Will she convince him to come back and care for his sister’s baby? Will he drown in his own despair and just throw his money at the problems he doesn’t want to deal with? Will these two come to an understanding for the baby’s sake? This book will have you in tears! These two characters have a lot of issues to work through and money can’t help a single one! So what does a rodeo billionaire do when money can’t buy happiness? Read the book to find out!!

Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack Book 1) by Nicole Howl – Review by Barbara Bohls

Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack #1)Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book has everything I could ever hope for. It is a really quick read and transports your away from your own reality. This book is about a Prince and a human-turned werewolf servant. There are some triggers that need to be addressed before reading this book. The first trigger is rape, the book doesn’t go into detail about it but it is heavily discussed and the trauma is there for the character. The other trigger is abuse, again this isn’t highly described but it is present and there is a heavy undertone to some of the characters. I fell in love with the main characters right away. I love a sassy female that learns to stand up for herself. The Prince is whole heartily what any true book boyfriend should be: caring, loving, devoted, and protective. This book does leave you on a cliff-hanger so be aware. However, it is so good that it won’t really bother you because you just get a feeling that whatever is coming is so gonna be worth it.

(UN)Loved (Mixed Emotions Series) by Katy Hunter – Review by Abbey Cleman

(Un)Loved (Mixed Emotions, #1)(Un)Loved by Katy Hunter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is easy to read. Not too much erotica but enough to keep it spicy. And enjoyable. I love books with animals in it especially ones like Tornado.

I feel like this book is relatable as well to people who have just relationship issues. Mainly the commitmentphobe type. It is definitely worth the read if you want a quick light read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an amazing short read. It has both POVs and I love that in a book, I feel it helps round out the story line. This book is also really well written. I only give it 4 stars because I feel like it could have been longer. I felt that the scenes, even though written really well, could have been longer. The crazy dynamic between the two main characters and their shenanigans to keep their inappropriate relationship a secret is highly entertaining. It is a very fast paced book that I couldn’t put down. The growth of the characters is appropriate for the pace of the book. I just wish there was more. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good age gape, inappropriate, wholesome love story.

(Un)Loved (Mixed Emotions, #1)(Un)Loved by Katy Hunter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What happens when you meet the love of your life but your life isn’t where it needs to be? That is what happens with the main characters of this book. They are amazing and their lives are going where they want them to but is that enough? Does what they’re doing now affect what they want in the future? Can they work things out to get what they are wanting? These are the questions that I was constantly asking myself during this book. The characters have growth that you won’t see coming. There are is many bumps and bruises that they get along the way. This book had me crying, cursing, ranting, and swooning. I feel like I went on an emotional roller coaster. I wanted it to end then didn’t want it to end. I feel like I got whiplash with how things were constantly changing in this story. It almost gave me a book hangover. Not a lot of books can do that but this one did and the makes it a 5 star read. It is a witty, fun, romantic, steamy, soul crushing adventurous book. It constantly makes you wonder, is love enough. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to be emotionally abused. Just kidding, kind of. It is a great read and you want be disappointed while reading it.

Class Clown (Ghost Girl Series) by Allan Evans – Review by Barbara Bohls

Class ClownClass Clown by Allan Evans
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is not in my normal go to wheel house. I have read horror before and enjoy a good mystery, so I thought, why not give this book a try. I was not disappointed. This book flows from the first page to the last page. It is incredibly well written and the characters have growth. The thing that gets me though is that the main character is having to deal with seeing dead people and crazy clowns all while attending high school and trying to have a normal life. She sets out to save those she cares about from the crazy clowns, which I pictured in my head to look a little like Killer Clowns From Outer Space but darker. The action sequence in this book is a huge page turner. The ending I feel could have lasted a little longer. Maybe had more of an epic engine scene but it was still really good the way it is. I guess I just didn’t want the book to end. If you are looking for a book that will completely transport you into the story, this is that book. I lost track of time while reading this because I couldn’t put it down.

The Billionaire’s Slave by Stacy-Deanne – Review by Abbey Cleman

The Billionaire's Slave by Stacy-DeanneThe Billionaire’s Slave by Stacy-Deanne by Stacy-Deanne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I fell in love with this book at about 1/3 of the way through. At first it seemed slow and uninteresting. However, once I got into it and was able to look past some of my personal preferences and put myself back in that timeframe I was able to finish it in a day. The way that Leon and Penny instantly knew that they were meant to be and how he was so protective of her. With the twists that come along and are seen by Leon but Penny isn’t able to see until after the fact. I read it with an open mind and remembered that there was a time that the slavery and so on was allowed to happen. I am not saying it’s right but it’s the way it was at one point and how they were willing to do whatever needed to be done just to be together. Just kept me hooked when I needed to get out of my own head.
