Ten years ago, I met the man of my dreams. A stupidly gorgeous and wildly talented venture capitalist named Dallas Evener. I was the fiery yin to his dominant yang. He set my entrepreneurial heart aflame. Our destiny was clear as day … and then he had to go and ruin it.
I swore never to do business with him.
A decade later, I’m eating my words.
A scandal rocks my startup passion project and I’m left in a lurch when the lead investor backs out. My only hope for money? Dallas. But that means I play by his rules. And the whispers around town imply he funds his projects with dirty money.
Is that why we fly to Argentina to close the deal with a mysterious financier? Dallas promises this is a no-brainer, although nothing comes risk-free. I’ll take a chance with my company. The question is, do I put my heart on the line again when our simmering chemistry reignites? Because there is more to this transaction than meets the eye. And everything I thought I knew about Dallas and love tangles into a compromising position neither of us expects.

My goals are simple. To make the world a better place one love story at a time!

 

Q: What can you expect from my books?

A:  Where heat meets heart!

 

Every writer sprinkles their brand of DNA magic into stories and my ingredients are glamorous destinations, brilliant, sexy minds, and juicy plots with just the right amount of spice stirred in to kick things up a notch.

 

I also love messy characters. Ones who struggle, but never give up. My women are strong-willed and successful, but never infallible when it comes to matters of the heart. My men are maddeningly imperfect and sexy AF.

 

If you like all of the above, it might be love at first page read!

 

The Hustlers is my first series, an interconnected trilogy that can be read as stand-alone. You’ll meet three alluring BFF’s navigating dreams, desires, and all the beautiful complications of falling in love.

 

Set against the backdrop of sultry jet-set lifestyles, if you crave vivid characters, adventurous plots and sensual moments, these mid-steam romps are the perfect escape!

Cover Designer – Michele Hauf, Swell Cat Design
Billionaire Logan Bennett wastes no time with games he can’t win. And that includes hooking up with the little sister of his best friend. Correction—ex-best friend.
Jinx D’Alessio had always been a firecracker, a little troublemaker who used to tickle his funny bone when she was a kid. But tonight her all-grown-up siren dance is tickling a different part of his anatomy. Finally getting his hands on the off-limits beauty would be poking the hornet’s nest of the feud he has with her brother—but it might be so worth it.
Jinx has been crazy over her big brother’s best friend since she was a teen, but she knew he would never touch her no matter how much she wanted it. Now, at twenty-nine, her history with men is like a bunch of bad rides at an amusement park.
After the trouble between Logan and her brother she knew she shouldn’t even be talking to him. But Jinx refuses to settle for a boring, run of the mill romance. She wants a big, dramatic, passionate love with a man who can knock her off her feet with one look.
Too bad the only man who can do that is Logan Bennett. The one she can never have.

Moments from her small but pivotal role in A Very Crowded House, Harriet “Harry” Smith begins her own story where an Ivy League education, her wit, and talented two hands make no promises, least of all the promise of a happily-ever-after.
A typically tough private investigator and criminology professor, Harry Smith distracts herself from heartbreak by diving headlong into her latest surveillance job. On a steamy New York City night, she sets out on foot, cocksure and reckless, landing face to face with Trey Popov, a serious rising star in the Trubetzkoy crime family whose eyelashes just might be worth killing for. She escapes the verboten interaction but when the two meet again, Harry plunges undercover as a wholesome schoolteacher who turns Trey’s head despite his compulsion to climb the criminal ladder.
Harry’s unconventional, clandestine scheme and forbidden attraction combust in a violent disaster. All she can do is work toward justice for her murdered police detective-dad. Along the way, she hopes to rescue the good bad guy too far down the wrong road to be saved. For Harry, doing the right thing is also the hardest thing, but crossing some lines isn’t in your DNA when you bleed blue. Devastated by heartache, goaded by ambition, and blinded by attraction, Harry’s allegiances falter, and the differences between academic theory and real life prove that no one makes it out unchanged. Hell, some don’t make it out at all.

Savage Truth (Hidden Valley Elite #2)Savage Truth by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Isla Vaughn is an amazing author, and has quickly become one of my favorites. The Hidden Valley Elite series is one of the best series I’ve read in a long time. I love the characters, the world building, the storytelling is amazing. I truly feel like I’m in high school again when I’m reading. I love Riley and Cole’s story. I loved the animosity and the buildup and the everything about it. If you love the drama, the heat, the everything, you’ll love this story. I absolutely suggest this book (and all the others) for you to read! You wont be disappointed!!!

He’s the sensible brother in the family who’d do anything to help a neighbor out. She’s a single mother on the run. Can the two resist temptation when they become unexpected roommates?
James Bennett had his life all planned out—or so he thought. After a bitter break-up, he convinces himself he doesn’t have time for relationships anymore. But all bets are off when he befriends his father’s new caregiver, Sara Larson.
She’s the beautiful and funny travel nurse hired to help his dad. She’s also a single mom to her eight-year-old son which means she’s completely off-limits. But there’s something captivating about the auburn-haired beauty and he finds himself drawn to her like a moth to a hot flame.
When James learns she and her son are living out of a suitcase in the local economy motel, he invites them to stay with him and his two big dogs at Bennett Farms. Sara reminds him what it’s like to desire a family of his own. She’s everything he ever needed, and nothing he ever imagined.
But Sara has secrets and he knows getting attached might be a huge mistake.
Can James convince Sara to stay and build a permanent life with him by her side? Or will she run away again, leaving him with his heart in his hands?
Author’s Note: A steamy standalone about two roommates turned lovers. One-click for a cinnamon-roll hero who’d give the shirt off his back to help someone in need, and an independent mom who’s first priority is her son. Romantic add-ons include a charming carriage house, flirty banter, big dogs, late-night dirty dancing. This love story comes with a guaranteed Happily Ever After.

The article would make front page news, if she lived long enough to write it.
In the heart of Paris, a trendy nightclub harbors a dark secret—it’s a front for a human trafficking ring. It’s also Finlay Giammarino’s only lead to find her friend’s sister. Exposing the club’s owner isn’t enough for the investigative journalist. Finlay is determined to bring the men at the top to justice.

Mavery Ellscott’s first foray into writing was not romantic suspense. She wrote and published a neighborhood newspaper. A pretty big endeavor for an eight-year-old armed with scrap paper and her dad’s old typewriter. Total circulation—two. Fortunately, her later publications fared better. She’s even made it beyond the first round in a contest or two.

A conservationist, Mavery has won a few environmental awards. So, it’s no surprise she yearns to write a high-speed chase with eco-friendly cars.

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet Book 2) by April Moran – Review by Heidi Sturgess

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m such a spoilt little brat I didn’t have to wait to start this I literally closed “ A King so Savage” has a quick tea and cookie break and went straight back into my little bubble 🤣📚❣️

Just a fair warning again , if you don’t take to dark , depraved , violent reads avoid this and if this is your first rodeo start at the beginning role you’ll be doing yourself a hugs injustice ( just saying )

Yes my little dark heart still loves Kingston , I know I’m weak and I think Ava really is the only one that gets me 🥰😱🙈

Kingston and Ava are the definition of love to hate and hate to love the push and pull between these 2 had me screaming , shouting , chewing my nails to the bit and breaking out in hives !

I almost enjoyed this round more 🤫😉

Master Botosoni (Masters of the Consulate Book 9) by Sylvia Black – Review by Michelle Austin

Master Botosoni (Masters of the Consulate #9)Master Botosoni by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. The author has once again pulled me in and I didn’t want to put it down until I was done. If you like paranormal with some darkness thrown in, this is the series for you. The intense battle with rogue vampires continues and Master Botosoni unexpectedly finds his mate. Catina is a psychic who can see the future, when she meets Master Botosoni things change. You can feel the attraction between these two coming off of the pages. Will she be able to help?

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this read. We get so much suspense, danger, steaminess and so much more. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. We see several from previous books in the series. I will warn that there is a cliffhanger ending. If you are looking for a great series to read 1-click and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this series and author.

A King So Savage (The Savage Duet #1)A King So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh be still my beating heart and shattered nerves ! Ava and Kingston were the reason my blood pressure was sky high and my heart beat so erratic 😱🔥

Kingston is a man who wants what he wants and if he can’t buy it it get it willingly he’ll take it and Ava is no different , he wants her , he claims her , he owns her ! He is savage . He is cruel . He is dominant. He is dark . He is a bully .
I can’t help but have a soft spot for him because every “ monster” has a story of how and why they are who and what they are and every “ monster” has a weak spot and Ava will soften Kingston .

I don’t want to focus on Ava’s brother Carson because he’s a waste of space and shouldn’t be allowed to breathe the air we do and it’s because of him Ava is in the predicament she is and that make me sick to to pit of my stomach but my “ dark side” wants to say thank you because she has Kingston and he’ll go to the ends of the earth for her ( yes for his reasons but she’s still his priority ) I know my twisted side likes to comes out and play 🙈🤣🔥

I could just feel Ava’s initial confusion when she comes out of her drugged state , I could feel her her fear , frustration , humiliation and hurt and the story unfolds , Ava has some fight in her though I remember her attacking Kingston in the beginning with an ornament and she gets quite fierce and feisty and she wasn’t easily subdued🤣🤩

If dark, sadistic , violent and mature content isn’t for you avoid this or at least try and look past it and see the characters and their story , see the bond that Kingston had with Garrett ( Ava’s dad) see the pain these people have to experience in their lives , see what it’s made them and how they’ve overcome it … see why I love them 😍

Master Botosoni (Masters of the Consulate #9)Master Botosoni by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have loved every book in the Masters of the Consulate series so far, and this ranks as one of my favorites! While you could read this as a stand-alone, there are characters from other books included so it can help get the full effect reading them all. Plus, once you read one, you’re bound to go back and scoop up the rest of the series! With plenty of danger, mystery, romance, and of course, vampires, the author has created a truly remarkable tale between Master Botosoni and Catina. Their chemistry together sparks a fire throughout the book, and I couldn’t get enough so much so that I read it all in one go. The only complaint I could possibly have about this one is that I wish it was longer! I am on pins and needles waiting for the 10th book in the series so I can get wrapped up in this world again. I highly recommend picking this up especially if you like paranormal romance!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Master Botosoni is the ninth book in the Masters of the Consulate Series. I’ve read a few books in this series and while some have been in order I’ve also skipped around and while the characters and small things cross over from book to book they can also be read as a standalone story without feeling like you missed out on a lot. Each story that I have read has been solid and well written with complex, interesting characters, and Master Botosoni was no different. I know that when I pick up a dark paranormal romance novel from Sylvia Black I know I am in for a quick, fast paced, edge of your seat, steamy read. I like how Sylvia portrays the men in this series because what is hotter than Bossy, Alpha, fiercely loyal, loving, Vampire men. Of course the FMC, Catina, is falling in love with Master Botosoni. She is also a big asset to the war between the witches, shifters, and humans that is still going on, and havoc is still occurring in all the masters regions. Will the vampires still be standing in the end or will the shifters prevail? Only time will tell. I look forward to continuing this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This one picks up right where book one ends and just like the first one it was great. This time I had no problem sinking right into Cole and Riley’s world. I’m sad to leave these characters because they really captured a piece of my heart. Cole had me cursing his name a lot but you can’t help but understand that underneath it all he’s just hurt by his past. Riley will always have my heart she’s got sass and I just overall loved her character. There’s romance, suspense and everything I love in a story. I’m looking forward to more from this author. Five stars and highly recommended!

Master Botosoni (Masters of the Consulate Book 9) by Sylvia Black – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Master Botosoni (Masters of the Consulate #9)Master Botosoni by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Master Botosoni is Book Nine in the Masters of the Consulate series. It is a dark vampire fated mates romance with action, suspense, mystery, intrigue, passion, danger, drama, tension, and emotion galore. This book is part of a series with some overlapping details and background information, so I do recommend reading the other books first. However, it can be read as a standalone because the story focuses on its own two main characters and is told from each of their POV. This book is the story of Master Botosoni, a vampire with a thirst for blood, and Catalina, a down-on-her-luck psychic. Master Botosoni will do anything to stop the rogue vampires and as fate would have it Catalina is the one who can lead him to them. Their romance is forbidden but the chemistry between them is off the charts and undeniable. Will Catalina choose Master Botosoni and immortality in the name of love? A great read with high stakes, vampires, witches, shifters, pure bloods, magic, and a feud that has been going on for centuries. The vivid scene descriptions and wonderful characters fully immerse you in the story and keep you hooked until the final pages. Bring on the next book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book could be read as a standalone, but you’ll have a more comprehensive reading experience if you read the previous books.
If you love romance stories about vampires, chances are, you will enjoy this story. It’s got a bit of everything – romance, danger, betrayal, suspense, steamy scenes.
I will also note that I found it interesting how the author blended the old-world vibe in with more modern vibes. Keeps the reading experience fresh.

Master Botosoni (Masters of the Consulate #9)Master Botosoni by Sylvia Black
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Master Botosoni has been tasked with hunting down rogue vampires and traitor shifters who have taken up hiding in his region. When his local bosses send him to a known psychic living in his town, he finds himself in the middle of not only a hunt for the enemy, but also a responsibility to save this young woman from her terrible family. The rest of the masters show up with their mates, and the confrontation is set up. Master Botosoni does his due diligence in furthering the mission first, but will it cost him his mate?

I have been reading this series for a while and enjoy this author. The storyline moved quickly and characters from past books played a role in this book. The traitor was a surprise to me and left me wondering if I had misread past books! I would have liked to have had more information about moments in the book, or more set up for things that occurred. It seemed like an event happened and then there was a little bit of information after the fact. This author is usually very thorough with their writing, so I was a little surprised by it. However, because I have read the previous books, I could fill in information on my own. All in all, this installment moved the series forward and is setting up for the finale.

Savage Lies (Hidden Valley Elite Book 1) by Isla Vaughn – Review by Heather Bass

Savage Lies (Hidden Valley Elite #1)Savage Lies by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a couple of books from this author and she continues to blow my mind. This is the first book in the very addictive series Hidden Valley. I love good enemies but lovers’ stories and this one is in my top three. I think you should read the prequel to this book just so you know the back story. I love how this author writes from both of the characters’ points of view. It makes me feel more emotionally connected to them. I can’t wait to read book two.

Riley and her mom move a lot but when they come back to the small town again she is shocked. She is going to the Hidden Valley High now and she already has made an enemy Cole. He remembers who this girl was and he is not going to let her forget it. When Riley finds out that her mom is dating Cole’s father it gets even worse for her. Riley has secrets that she doesn’t want to find out but when her past comes back to haunt her will she turn to her enemy for help?

Isla Vaughn really knows how to make you keep reading and turning pages to find out what happens.

I was so excited to get my hands on this book so that I could read how things ended. Some very hot sex scenes that lead to hate turning to love. A fabulous conclusion to the story of Riley and Cole. The past finally catches up and is put to bed forever!

Cutter: Devils’ Spawn Daddies by Victoria Saccenti – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

Cutter: Devils' Spawn DaddiesCutter: Devils’ Spawn Daddies by Victoria Saccenti
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cutter is the sergeant at arms for the Devils Spawn MC and as such, he enforced the rules and although they are a one percenter club, they don’t engage in the usual criminal activity, so when Cutter is arrested when he tries to go to the rescue of an injured store clerk, he knows it is all because of the cut he wears and the stereotypes associated with it. What Cutter doesn’t expect is to have the same female officer with whom he has a history, it is Emily Mayhew, the one who arrested him the first time this happened, taking the blame for something he didn’t do, only now, she is a detective, however, the deal she proposes is even more surprising, but he is most definitely interested.

As the interview goes on, Emily realises that she is still attracted to Cutter’s type of trouble, just like last time she saw him, only now, she has the chance to act on it, but only if he feels the same way. The deal she puts on the table is to infiltrate a new MC, the Sons Of Chaos who have just moved into a neighbouring part of the city, this is bad because they have ties with some very unsavoury people, the kind of people who traffic objects and people, so she needs someone who can go undercover and a cop would be found out straight away.

Once Cutter has spoken to his prez and figured out how he can successfully infiltrate the group, they decide to tackle it the proper way, using the rules the other club have blatantly disregarded, however when Emily turns up in the wrong place at the wrong time, Cutter has no choice but to get involved. Much to both of their surprise, Cutter’s dominant side and Emily’s submissive side seem a perfect match, but will he be willing to accept her Middle and her his Daddy tendancies and will this distract them both from the mission at hand? This is a steamy MC romance with a kinky streak, as well as plenty of danger, darkness and light in this mile a minute tale with a hint of espionage within.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I started this book I thought it was going to be a cheesy romance book. The teen coming of age type of book. But it was so much more. I was hooked immediately. Every turn of the page just put me deeper in. I thought the authors did a great job touching upon the difference of cultures between Mei and Marcus. The romance between the two was very natural and sweet. The secret behind Nick, her parents! Mind blown and we just touched the tip of the iceberg. I really cannot wait for the sequel. Please be a sequel. I have questions and need answers!
