My Soul to Give by M.A. Frechette – Review by Sophie Rae

My Soul to Give (A Demon's Love #1)My Soul to Give by Magali A. Fréchette
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Anyone who knows me knows I’m a total sucker for a dark romance. This one absolutely did not disappoint. This book is definitely dark, and for more mature readers. From beginning to end, there’s absolutely no way you could guess what’s coming. I binge read this book in under 10 hours and at no point was I ever bored. Kai and Celina are amazing characters and it was crazy how quickly I became obsessed with both of them. The character development alone was enough to have me in love with the book, and then the romance? Was steamy, with the perfect amount of sweetness. Not even going to lie here. There is a good chance I will be re-reading this shortly. Thank you so much to M.A. for writing this book – I can’t wait to read more!

Caine (Men of Syn Book 2) by Anise Storm – Review by Sophie Rae

Caine (Men of Syn, #2)Caine by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Men Of Syn Series might just be one of my all time favorite series. The second book Caine – is definitely a 5 star, if not higher. This book not only has the dark romance aspect I LIVE for. Caine and Emerys chemistry and relationship overall was AMAZING. I can’t wait to read the next books. The Men of Syn and then Syn club – constantly stay at the forefront of my mind. This book I do feel had a more thrilling aspect then the first book did – but nonetheless it added a fantastic element to the story.

Master Tuscano: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black – Review by Sophie Rae

Master Tuscano: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 2)Master Tuscano: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved the first book – and then I read this one and I think I may love it more!😭 From the beginning I was sucked in, even with the little bit of foreshadowing in the first book. I was so intrigued! The dark vampire aspect, forbidden love, revenge plot, steam, action. This book checks all of these boxes for me. And Christian & Delilahs chemistry is undeniable. This author knows how to write and she does it so well! Thank you Sylvia Black!!

Dark Bastard (Dark Sparrow Novel Book 5) by India Kells – Review by Sophie Rae

Dark Bastard (Dark Sparrow, #5)Dark Bastard by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read so many 5 star books lately & of course this one is too. We follow 911 dispatcher Ellie and Sam as they both coincidentally meet on the hardest night of the year for both of them. But, in the end is Ellie’s life worth the risk for Sam’s love? With a huge target on Sam’s back we’re left hanging and when it becomes a life or death situation, they need each other to get out of it. This book had numerous twists, turns, steamy scenes and at the end of the day just makes you want to fall in love. But at the same time. The cliffhanger at the end?!?🤯 I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in this series!

Repair (Rescue Me Book 1) by Trish Williford – Review by Sophie Beatty

Repair (Rescue Me #1; The Everyday Heroes World)Repair by Trish Williford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a new favorite. First off – we have multiple tropes that I’m a sucker for like Brothers best friend, friends to lovers, nursing. Watching Charlie and Tank go from childhood best friends to falling head over heels in love with each other was great to watch. Watching who and what Charlie became throughout the 8 years that her and Tank were separated was truly a “if it’s meant to be it’ll be” moment. If you like forbidden love, and a LOT of good smut scenes this book is definitely the book for you! And can we talk about what a plot twist the author just threw in there towards the end! Had me sweating it a bit.

Avenging Devil Part 2 (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #4) by Manda Mellett – Review by Sophie Rae

Avenging Devil Part 2: Satan's Devils MC San DiegoAvenging Devil Part 2: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WHEWWWWW.
First off – let me acknowledge if you are planning on reading this book – there are numerous situations that could end up as a trigger for some peoples. With that in mind – the book is still phenomenal. This second book to Avenging Devil is amazing. To start off – we get a third prospective thrown into the mix instead of just 2! And I loved it. Saffie’s character evolution throughout this second book is so much fun to watch her grow and change into the person she wants to be! Watching Niran go through, a terrible situation (which I’ll try not to spoil for you) and then still protect Saffie while doing it. Such a heartbreaking situation to watch unfold. Now – the third perspective we get is Grumblers and his is just the icing on the cake! We get to watch the old and cranky old man soften up for Niran, Saffie, and his old lady Mary. I cannot give this book enough props. And don’t think you’re getting too comfortable- because the MAJOR plot twist that’s thrown into the book had me putting my book down and walking away! I was SHOOK!! & At the end (if you’ve been keeping up with the series like I have!) Niran FINALLY gets a road name! And it suits him so much.

A Cold Day in Hell (Life is Hell Book 5) by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Sophie Rae

A Cold Day in Hell (Life is Hell #5)A Cold Day in Hell by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was stunning. Without knowing it was the fifth in the series – I jumped right in to this fantasy (with the information I have now, I’ll be starting from the top!) but still this book was nonetheless stunning. From the dual perspective plot line to the Angel “banned” to earth. Both Jezebel and Hadassah were so strong and easily relate-able. I’ll be back with a more in depth review when I can connect all of the dots. I loved the writing style as well!

Georgia Clay (Southern Promises Book 1) by KG Fletcher – Review by Sophie Beatty

Georgia Clay (Southern Promises, #1)Georgia Clay by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you see me running away to Nashville to fall in love don’t question why! This book was the ideal romance. From the beginning that brings Clay and Katie together in a simple and flawless way, to the very end where EVERYTHING works out. There were a couple of times the author had me ready to throw my phone against the wall thinking that everything was going to go wrong. Of course with the hanging suspense it made the book all the better. The romance, the sexual tension, the southern boy, the family connections made this book phenomenal. Watching Katie and Clay come together and get their happy ending was honestly so fun!! I cannot wait for sequel. I would love to follow Heart or Katie and Clay in the future.

This was tastefully teasing!
I was a bit hesitant to start this, as the mixture of chapters and different stories scared me. But, I’m so glad I did. The stories were a mix of steamy stories that made me want more! The narrator was the icing on the cake for me. I will 100% be looking into reading the books that the excerpts are from because they were phenomenal!

Grumbler’s Ride (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #2) by Manda Mellett – Review by Sophie Rae

Grumbler's Ride (Satan's Devils MC San Diego #2)Grumbler’s Ride by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book yet again, was another smash hit. I loved the aspect of a “side-character” coming to fruition and being the main character and Grumbler killed the role. Following his story was beautifully written, had good plot twists, and was interesting. Watching Grumbler soften that hard shell and open up was amazing to read.

After a modeling photoshoot (which includes Grumblers bike and Mary’s daughter) introduces Grumbler and Mary, something about her he just can’t get off his mind. He moves on with life only to discover that the pictures have sold, with no compensation to himself. He reaches out and contacts Mary to see if they’ve received compensation only to find out the photographer has completely disappeared and dropped off of the map. Grumbler enlists the help of his fellow MC brothers to find the photographer, but shortly something awful happens to Mary’s daughter as a threat. While Mary and Grumbler are falling for each other behind closed doors a bigger problem is unfolding causing the dispatch of members from other areas. Following along as they weave they’re way through this puzzling and disturbing situations was intriguing and kept me hooked the whole way through! And the ending!!! I won’t spoil it for you, but I need another book!!

Avenging Devil Part 1: Satan's Devils MC San DiegoAvenging Devil Part 1: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Again, the side characters becoming main characters is my favorite thing ever. This book is so realistic, yet hard hitting and transparent all the way through. The smut level on this one is minimal but I loved it just the same.
Saffie meets Niran at a maternity appointment after just barely escaping the clutches of MC gang afraid to trust another. We watch the beautiful story unfold as Saffie and Niran both learn how to live with each other and how everything seems to fall into place. Until… someone awful shows up – could this mean death for all of them? Or just Saffie?

Being Lost (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #1) by Manda Mellett – Review by Sophie Rae

Being Lost (Satan's Devils MC San Diego #1)Being Lost by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yet another absolute smash hit by Manda Mellett. This book to be repetitive is still amazing!! I love the danger, romance, smut, character development, and world building of this book. I can honestly say there were a decent amount of times where I felt like I was watching a Netflix show because this book is just that well written. I highly recommend this book on ever level.

After Pasty’s ex husband dies, and her youngest son fesses up to all of the illegal activity behind his father and his uncle. The safety of Pasty and Connor is compromised, leading the only option to be witness protection – but also protection from Satan’s Devils as well. We follow Pasty as she not only tries to protect both of her children, but also finding herself with a very large emotional challenge when it comes to the chapters president Lost. As danger rises Lost’s only option is to move Patsy and her son onto the compound and just in time. Lost and his MC begin to investigate just how they can get Alder off of Patsy’s trail. Through trial and error and a decent amount of teamwork everything seems to work out in the end, or does it? As everything takes a sharp turn when things are taken out of Satan’s Devils hands.

Turning Wheels (Satan’s Devils MC #1) by Manda Mellett – Review by Sophie Beatty

Turning Wheels (Satan's Devils MC, #1)Turning Wheels by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I cannot even begin to give this author the credit she deserves and I will be binge reading EVERY book in this series.
Wraith and Sophie came to meet under insane and left field circumstances. Bringing the quiet English girl to a Motorcycle Club filled with grungy, loud, attractive men. After Sophie’s accident, leading her to ending up at the clubs compound, Sophie was afraid she’d never be wanted or loved. She learns swiftly that is not the case as the all men almost immediately fawn over her. With the plot line that stays intriguing, interesting, and prominent. Mixed with the romance element, with a couple risqué scenes (to which I’ll admit I was ASTONISHED by). I cannot even fathom how this book would be any better than it is. This will be going into one of my favorite books of all time. I can’t tell you enough if you want a book that is constantly moving, intriguing, romantic, falling in love, and having some bomb ass sex – please read this book! And let’s not forget what’s revealed at the ending?! Are you kidding me, could it have been any better!!?

The Hunter’s Heart (Love After Earth Book 1) by Astrid Sharpe – Review by Sophie Rae

The Hunter's Heart (Love After Earth)The Hunter’s Heart by Astrid Sharpe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was everything I didn’t know I needed and then some.
After Poppy and various other women get it abducted and sent into “space” the agreement that was supposed to secure the future of Zensah’s pack unravels when they discover the humans were taken against their will. Poppy and Zensah end up on a planet that isn’t earth. But, luckily it was Zensah’s home planet. Ending up days away from Zensah’s pack, and home. Poppy and Zensah’s mission to return to the pack and home then ensues. With every book element I’ve ever needed / wanted without knowing that I needed. Aliens, abduction, romance, a strong female lead, steamy scenes. The plot was stunning, the romance was stunning, and you never got lost in the mix of both of them. I loved every second of this book – and the ending was TOP LEVEL. I can’t recommend this book enough.

Courage of Us (Code of Honor Book 1) by Brooke May – Review by Sophie Rae

Courage of UsCourage of Us by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is it.
This book is EVERYTHING- fight with someone else. This book covers literally everything I didn’t know I loved. The romance was there – it wasn’t too much or not enough it was perfect. The smut was also present, also in a perfect way. This writer has a full handle on how to write superb books & I am THIRSTY for the next books. I honestly think this might be an all time favorite in my romance category!
– disclaimer: please research trigger warnings following this book : there are a couple of different scenes that would be rather unsettling (not super overwhelming personally but could see other women from some themes being uncomfortable.
Patience and Duke go from a drunken hook up and total “I love you” confession after graduating high school – to Patience waking up by herself with no sign of Duke. As the day went on, Patience had discovered Duke had enlisted to the Marines and wasn’t coming back, she was forced to move on. After quite a few long years (a marriage, a child, Patience finding her live goals)- Duke moved back into their small town for good. Could the stars have aligned themselves any better just in time for Patience to get a hold on her very unhappy life. We watch and anticipate Patience divorcing her awful “husband” Greg, while literally BEGGING her to fall for Duke all over again. Upon discovering that they of course are ultimately still head over heels in love with each other; they both have to expose their baggage. Can they forgive the past and move on? Can Duke handle the secret that Patience had kept from him for all these years? Can Patience handle the twists and terms to come as we learn the real reason why Duke ended up coming home from his Marine career? Oh – did you think that was it? NOPE. Brooke May throws the worst cliffhanger of all cliffhangers I’ve ever read – I need the rest of the books ASAP.
– disclaimer 2: this is a book you will not be able to put down – I not only finished it in one sitting. But I also stayed up until 3am because I absolutely could not put it down.

Dirty Tactics (Special Weapons & Tactics Book 1) AUDIO BOOK by Peyton Banks – Review by Sophie Rae

Dirty Tactics (Special Weapons & Tactics, #1)Dirty Tactics by Peyton Banks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I listened to this on audible – I enjoyed it, but the romance wasn’t giving enough for me. The action was a lot more prominent than the romance! The writing style was intriguing enough to where I’m looking forward to further installations. The line between love and lust I feel was crossed a couple times – but it was well written. The SWAT Officer Mac – incredibly hot (in my head) and written to be the strong hero. And as a beautifully portrayed innocent Serena as a counter part. Watching Mac protect her, and try to figure out if the Demon Lords were actually after Serena or if they were looking for Macs soft spot. Ending up in a scary and intense situation (which I don’t want to spoil for you) Either way, Mac lived up his SWAT Hero title. It made it very interesting and I NEEDED to know what was going to happen. The suspenseful ending was phenomenal.

Forbidden Wolf (The Shadow Chronicles Book 1) by CR Robertson – Review by Sophie Rae

Forbidden WolfForbidden Wolf by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Five stars isn’t enough!!
From the ultimate enemies to lovers trope, character development & the characters themselves is phenomenal! With the romance between Wolf-Shifter Levi and vampire Tasha, who have forever been immortal enemies. The steaminess factor. There are numerous books written similarly – but none to this degree. The twists & the turns. Coming together for impending damage and danger to all? What more could you ask for. The plot line was continued and the romance, stayed prominent but you also didn’t lose the plot line within. I read this book in less than 24 hours – and I enjoyed every second of this! I cannot wait for the rest of the series. I’m invested

The Inheritance, The Story of an Unlikely Submissive AUDIO BOOK by India Kells – Review by Sophie Rae

The InheritanceThe Inheritance by India Kells
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Hello! Can we say steam of the year?! The Inheritance by India Kells, was phenomenal- from both of the mysterious & illusive characters, to the authentic relatable situation-ships. I got the privilege to listen to this book and the narration was also amazing. The relationship between Lani & Mr. Langdon is HOT, refreshing, compassionate. And come on – you want to tell me after reading this you don’t want more of them?! I need more!! I believe this story might be considered a “short story” but there is nothing lacking in content wise! I enjoyed every moment of this – more than likely will be re-reading.
