This book had me thinking and making prediction after prediction until the very end. What started out as relatable with recent events quickly turned into a nightmare I would never want to live through. The author did a great job building the characters and diving deep enough to make those twists extremely shocking. While the plot is out there, in todays world, it really makes you think if it’s really that far fetched.

The Last Cabin Girl follows Josie as she is in the process of filing for divorce from her abusive husband. She has secluded herself in a cabin with enough bad energy to keep her husband away from her and her children. While she fights for the end of her marriage, she watches as the coronavirus works its way across the ocean to America. That won’t be the only thing that fills her with terror once a body is discovered on her property. Every single bit of evidence points to Josie being the murderer.
This book is different from anything I have read before. It had action, betrayal, confusion, and twists that left my gaping. Josie is a very strong female character that works hard throughout the book for everything she wants in her life. She isn’t very likable but I’m not sure she was meant to be. She is someone I would avoid being friends with but that’s what makes her the perfect suspect.
My only drawback with the story was that it felt as though there was too much going on. I feel as though there was so much packed into the plot that at times the plots got completely lost. While the author did a fabulous job of tying up all the loose strings at the end, it felt as though there were too many strings. Personally, I didn’t feel as though it was realistic. With all that being said, I did enjoy it when I knew what was going on.
Overall it was a pretty easy read that took me on a rollercoaster. As far as being a thriller, it hit the mark completely!

The Cruiser is one of few books that leaves me wanting so much more. Wanting to know what happened after the last page was read. I personally think most romance novels end pretty similar. But this one actually had me questioning all of the way and wanting to know more. I love strong characters and strong female characters I can relate to. And I can do that here. I also love the fact that the main female character is feisty. Has sass. And one of my favorite things about this book is the character development and the fact that it’s not one sided. You see the point of view (for the most part) from both Morgan and Vandana. I cannot wait for book two in hopes that it has more about this pair.

I seriously loved this book so much. Vandana and Morgan’s story was absolutely breathtaking. Van is such a strong badass woman and she’s lucky to have a guy like Morgan who supports that side of her. They complimented each other very well and I just loved it. I can’t wait to read the next book!

This book had me hooked from the first sentence! I didn’t want to put it down! I loved every moment between the witty strong-willed Vandana and the steamy lady’s man Morgan. The story had me laughing, crying, and fanning my face at some of the scenes. Highly recommended!

I have read a few books from this author and she always blows my mind with her writing. This is the third book of the underground bad boys series. You can read this book as a stand alone but there are some previous characters in this story as well. I was excited for this book. I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I could not put this book until the very end. I can’t wait to see who she writes about next.
Juliet has been fighting since her parents left her. She is now staying with her best friend Ten to survive. Juliet finds herself in the underground because her friend needs to make some money or they are going to lose their apartment. She is shocked when a gorgeous man helps her friend and wins the fight. Juliet is too late and now she is living with the new fighter. She is scared now because her friend has to train for a bigger fight that might take his life. Juliet starts to have feelings for Gage but is he a guy that will settle down for her? Review @heatherbass

The Fighter (An Underground Bad Boys Romance Book 3)
Perfect ending to this trilogy. This author is on my list to automatically read without looking at the cover or reading the synopsis, though the cover would have drawn me in if I was not familiar with her.
Gage and Juliet meet in the most interesting way and that is just the beginning of the interesting moments.
There are some incredibly hot moments that are not for the weak or pearl clutchers that is for sure.
Once again this author delivers a book I enjoyed reading. If you have read anything by her yet I highly recommend this book which could be read as a standalone, though I would start at the beginning.

First book by this author and can I just say “Wow!” Just to be clear there is plenty of steam in this book, but it is so much more than that. I love a good “down on my luck” story. We can all relate to feeling like a failure at something or things just going wrong at every turn. It’s great to read about the characters overcoming obstacles and facing demons. Great characters and a great plot. Looking forward to going back and reading the rest of the series!

The Traitor is the second book in India Kells Bad Boys Romance series. In this story we meet Spencer and Josie. Josie is busy working herself to the bone, trying to make ends meet thanks to her good for nothing ex. She gets a second job at Spencer’s garage, and as much as he tries to resist her, he is drawn to her immediately. He wants to protect her, but from what and who? Himself??? He has a sordid past and he can’t help but wonder if it will sneak up and bring everything he has built, crashing down on him.
Gage is back at it again. He needed a break and decided to visit Spencer and finds an interesting situation that he is 100% down for. This leads to some hot and heavy MFM sex scenes and I was loving every single minute of it!
This series has been just a wonderful series to get lost in! Be prepared to get hot and bothered as the fireworks between these characters is burning hot desire!!!

This is the first book I read by this author. I was quite intrigued by the storyline and couldn’t wait to read it. I’m glad I did because it lead me to all the books in this series.
The story unfolds fairly quickly. Tessa is a doctor in the emergency room who helps young girls who are victims of human trafficking. In the hospital, she has a run in with a mysterious man who intrigues her instantly. Unfortunately, she never gets a chance to find out who he is.
By helping young girls escape their tormentors, Tessa finds herself in incredible danger. She is abducted by the bad guys and in the process, finds her mystery man. He helps her out of her situation and makes a proposal that Tessa finds herself unable to resist. Mystery man introduces Tessa to his friend and the three of them have the hottest sex imaginable! This book is erotic and passionate and sure to leave you in flames and wanting more. Luckily, there are two more books in the series to look forward too!

The Fighter is the third book in India Kells Bad Boys Romance series. I FLEW through this series. The book is a quick read and perfect in between the long novels I’ve grown accustomed too.
Oh Gage, back again to steal my heart!!!!
The book focuses on three characters. Juliet and Ten have gotten themselves in a financial pickle and need some quick cash. Ten decides to give underground fighting a chance in hopes of scoring the money they need. This rash decision leads to an even bigger dilemma and the two find themselves in the company of super hottie MMA fighter, Jonathan Gage. Gage is a no nonsense kinda guy and the three share an incredible attraction. Be prepared to get hot and bothered with this read. It’s definitely going to be steamy!!!

Perfect mix of sizzling sex, enthralling characters, and edge of your seat suspense, which kept me wanting more! SUCH a fan of India Kells and the Underground Bad Boys Romance series! Ms. Kells definitely saved the best book for last!
After being swept into steamy love triangles within the last few months, where he ended up being the odd man out, Jonathan Gage has decided to swear off sex for the immediate future and concentrate more on re-establishing his career as a successful cage fighter. Under the tough as nails exterior, Jonathan Gage has a heart as big as his body! Always quick to help someone in need, especially beautiful & intriguing men & women, Gage finds himself opening his home to a down on their luck, presumed couple that he had met at his last fight. Feeling responsible for offering the inexperienced fighter some advice that backfires, Gage invites fighter Ten and his best friend Juliet to stay at his home for awhile until they can get back on their feet. The first night at the house while Gage is in the shower, Ten comes to the bathroom to speak with him and realizes that while he is attracted to Juliet, he is also attracted Gage. Juliet faces a similar fate, as the first night there she finds herself in Gage’s bed. The sexual chemistry between the three of them is off the charts. While Gage and his house guests are living out their sexual fantasies and attempting to sort out their feelings for one another , an enemy is busy plotting his revenge against the trio.
Could not turn the pages fast enough! Quick & engaging read that I finished in just a few hours, rooting for Gage to find his happily ever after!

All I can say is OH. MY. This book will knock your socks off and leave you wanting more. This is the ending to the trilogy and while you could get by with reading it as a standalone novel it is a thousand times better reading all 3. This book has M/M/F action and is hot as sin. I’ve read a lot of this type of steamy erotic, but this is one of my favorites. Not only is it good in the layout of those scenes but the story itself is riveting as well. Oftentimes authors will skimp on the plot to pack it full of just the sexual parts, but India Kells has written a book well worth reading even if you wanted to skim over the sexual parts. (Who would want to?!). This will definitely be a reread for me in the future and I cannot wait to see what else she puts out.

The Cruiser took a little bit to pull me in so within the first few pages I wasn’t sure I would enjoy it. My doubts were quickly obliterated and I blew through the entire book in a day. I’ll warn you now that this book will have you wanting to travel and possibly invest in a yacht!
The author writes Vandana so well that you can feel her strength and self-confidence pour off the pages without crossing the line into conceited. Yet when she meets Morgan there is this immediate vulnerability that is so believable you can’t help but experience the emotions yourself. Will she be on board to take the PR challenge head-on or will she end up in deep water?
I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a page-turning romance that has drama infused in every chapter. I’m excited to grab the second book in this trilogy as soon as possible!

Never judge a book by it’s cover, right? Well, the cover of The Cruiser by Rowan Rossler is what instantly pulled me in and made this an insta click!
I’ve always dreamed of visiting Monaco, so I was immediately pulled into the storyline as we follow Vandana to paradise to escape the emotional bomb that was just dropped on her. She thought she had the perfect life, until it evaporated and left her questioning whether it was ever really real. She throws herself into her work and despite the changes in her life, is determined to not let it bring her down. She is strong, feisty and resilient. As she meet’s the incredibly sexy yacht designer she is now working for she finds just the distraction she needed. Morgan is gorgeous and intriguing and introduces Vandana to a world and life she never imagined! The chemistry between the two is off the charts. I cannot wait to see where this series takes us next. I’m buckled up and ready for the wild adventure to continue!

My first book by this author, but it won’t be the last especially as this is the first in a series! Morgan and Vandana bring the spice and the heat in this modern luxury romance. The locations including Monaco and LA provide the perfect backdrop – who wouldn’t want to be relaxing in a gorgeous hotel on the Mediterranean?? A great read for by the beach or snuggling up with a blanket on a cold winter’s night!! Reviewed by @sparkinside

The Cruiser by Rowan Rossler is the first book in the Hustler Trilogy. It is a strong start to what promises to be a wonderful series!
This is the story of Vandana and Morgan. Vandana is half of a successful PR company, and Morgan is a wealthy and talented yacht designer from Monaco. He is in desperate need of some positive PR if he wants to land a very lucrative deal with a Saudi Prince.
Vandana appears to have it all–talent, money, and a marriage made in heaven. As they say, not all things are as they appear, even if you are a PR guru. Not many people know, but her life has just imploded, leaving her heart shattered. The job with Morgan seems to come at just the perfect time. She needs this not just for professional reasons but very personal ones as well. She is a survivor, and I loved that about her, yet Rossler also showed us her vulnerable side as well.
Morgan is a woman’s dream of a man, but he does have a playboy reputation, leaving a trail of broken hearts in his wake. However, something about Vandana intrigues him, and spending time with her makes him yearn for more than just a fling. As with Vandana, Morgan is so much more than his good looks and wealth.
The synopsis of the book just scratches the surface. There is so much more than a romance going on between the pages of this sexy romance–many, many secrets that kept me turning the pages! One of my favorite things was the changes and growth of the characters. Ironically, the name of Morgan’s own yacht is Liberte which means “freedom.” In the end, not only do Vandana and Morgan find their own individual freedoms, but some of the secondary characters do as well.
The Cruiser was a fantastic, intelligent romance with great characters and a great setting. I’m looking forward to the other two in the trilogy.

Quick and steamy read, fast paced from the first page. The chemistry in the relationships keeps you invested and from putting the book down.
Vandana works in a very high end PR firm and is in a crisis when she has to deal with hotshot yacht designer Morgan. They both feel an immediate, intense attraction but try to keep control of the situation. When Vandana is convinced by her best friends to join Morgan in Monaco, an intense and sexy chemistry shows itself. There is mystery and intrigue, attraction, the beauty of Monaco, great hot relationship building, and I really enjoyed the flow.

Let’s just say book #1 of this series has 100% gave me a need for the rest! This author knows how to entice and entrance you as a reader. The story line is definitely a 10 out of 10, the romance is a 12 out of 10, and it is truly a page turner!
If you’ve never wanted to visit Monaco, I can guarantee you that you will after you read this book! It’s dark, mysterious, sensual, and overall a great experience! It had me in it’s world from page 1, and I didn’t want to come back to real life. The Cruiser leave you yearning for a broody, millionaire playboy by the time the story has ended.

This book is really good. I was not able to put this book down. It is a quick read but it packs a punch. There is steam, the connections that the characters have is off the charts and almost instantly. This book is very fast paced. There is never a dull moment. It really speaks volumes as to what the next books in the series will be like. I highly suggest reading this. The location the book takes pace is almost magical for the characters. It makes me want to take a vacation. The characters in this are both powerful and successful in their own ways. They have their own drama and issues that they need to work through to make it work between them. I love how the lead female character is strong. She doesn’t make me mad. Sometimes a female lead has me yelling at my book for her to do something different. This author, was literally reading my mind throughout this whole book. It was amazing. This has been one of the best sizzling romance, fast paced, though provoking, and well-rounded books I have read in a while.

Fantasy at its best This was a brilliant first book in the Guardians of PHAE series. Based in the wonderful setting of Ireland I was taken on an epic journey filled with magical talents and gripping action. The author weaves a tale based in fantasy but still has everyday issues such as prejudice, racism and mental health. I connected quickly with the characters and I thoroughly enjoyed the multiple POV. I eagerly await book two. Highly recommend.

How do I sum this book up simply without raving on for days! I haven’t read a fantasy book for quite some time and this book was a fantastic way to get back into the genre. The author created such unique characters and coupled that with a really creative storyline that you simply wanted, no make that needed, to keep reading no matter what! I was hooked from start to finish and this author definitely has a new fan in me. What a fantastic start to the series! I sure can’t wait for more.

This book is book two of the series. This book can be read as a standalone. I read this book before book one but I’m definitely going to have to go back and read it because this one was great!!
Kendall has been in love with Pete forever. The only problems with that are he is her brothers best friend and he doesn’t feel the same about her. Kendall needs somewhere to stay while she’s in town and her brother suggested staying with Pete. She figures this is her chance to get him out of her system once and for all. She didn’t count on the chemistry to be out of this world.
I really enjoyed the banter between Kendall and Pete. She definitely walked onto the scene letting him know what she wanted. She definitely had a take charge attitude and it was refreshing! Pete is sweet and doesn’t seem to realize it too often. I enjoyed his character. This was a quick read. I didn’t want to put it down!

Highly recommend this book if you’re looking for a fiery forbidden sports romance.

I really enjoyed this book. The story was engaging and kept me gripped from the beginning. The author does an amazing job with the characters making them all unique in their own way. This story is set at a time of protest and upheaval but instead of it being about race its about people having powers. These people are known as the Unhidden and as the days and weeks progress more and more people are realising they have these gifts but no idea how to use them.
We join the Byrne family who have set up their home as a school to help all these new people learn and master their gifts but as the protests and uprising of people wanting rid of the Unhidden community they are forced into hiding. Now they all have to work together to stand against the humans otherwise the Unhiddens could be destroyed forever.

The story finds the characters in a world of chaos. Suddenly some people are discovering that they have hidden powers and the rest of humanity feels threatened. The group PEM- Pure Earther Movement-has formed and they oppose the PHAE- Protectorate for unHidden Advancement and Education- and want to see all the people with powers killed or imprisoned. The people with powers are the minority and are feeling the pressure to protect themselves against attacks. The story revolves around a core of 6 people with major powers, the leadership, and a host family. Can they all band together to overcome hatred and curb violent attacks against them? Or will they be crushed under the onslaught of the hatred that others have toward them?
This was an interesting first book. There is a lot of history provided over each of the core characters and multiple points of view given. I liked learning about the characters but could have had a little less, or maybe fewer characters of whom I got in depth knowledge of. However, I do feel like it was a great set up for book 2. I would think that I will be able to pick up the second book and continue with their journey.
I did enjoy the Ireland aspect to the book. Having been there, I was able to easily envision where the characters were and the countryside!

This is for sure a book to put in small words, is a must read! This very early on in my reading became one of my favorite books hands down! The writing was amazing and the flow was perfect, and the story and the characters? Spot on! This was a book everyone should read and enjoy! Not one to be missed!
The story had a god flow, and characters I enjoy very much. Whether I liked the characters or new they were not ones I would not root for, I still liked them for who they were and for some, who they became to be. The story was very creative and visual effects on my mind as I read was more amazing that I could have imagine. The author really put it all in when writing this book and brought it to life with excitement and beyond amazing work! This is a new book in a series, and I for sure can not wait for the next one to see what is to happen next! It was sooooo good! Loved it truly! Honestly couldn’t put it down!
Amazing read and I highly do recommend this author with no doubt. The book is a first ins a series so great time to start reading it! I highly recommend the book/series! A must read for sure! Don’t pass it up!

This is the first book in this series and what a great start it is. I have enjoyed this author from the first book I picked up. One of the things I enjoy about this author is her writing skills and attention to details that make her stories come to life. This book is no different. This is a fantasy story that is hard to put down. It is an engaging story that made me laugh in parts and certainly had me coming back for more. I had no problems connecting with the character as they are creative and unique. They are supportive of each other which made the story easy to read. This is a story that has a little bit of everything in it as well as had me sitting on the edge of my seat. I enjoyed the growth of the plot as well as the characters that made the story entertaining to read. This is a great well rounded story that I can’t wait to see what the next book of this series brings. I highly recommend this book.
