If looking for a quick read, this story will definitely fit the bill. The rumor of the legendary Dr. D circulated around Eastport Hospital. Emily had never seen or heard of the doctor until the day he was called into the Emergency department to help treat children from a school bus accident. The nurses were gossiping about him and when the orderly stated she had never heard of him, they automatically targeted her. Upon their advice, Emily decided she would go out one evening. Meanwhile, Dr. Desmond Danielson was attempting to convince his sister that her son needed surgery. While the surgery was risky, Mikey would die without it. His sister refused unless an emergency required the procedure. His co-worker advised him to take a night off for himself. As fate would have it, an extremely drunk Emily and Danielson ended up meeting one another. Emily accepted a ride from Dr. Danielson, and despite nothing beyond her throwing up on him, the rumor mill at the hospital immediately thought otherwise.

I have been reading this series from its very beginning and I have become hopelessly hooked by the vivid imagery. The characters are realistic, and their motivations are understandable. Looking for intelligent, resourceful women? Check! Looking for strong yet passionate men? Check! This is a 5-star book and I highly recommend the entire series.

Luca Rossi has been following Aly Mancini since she was sixteen. As the only witness to the murder, Aly decides not to inform her father. When her brother, Jonny, dies, Pierre Mancini tells Aly she is required to marry Coy. Despite her protests, Mancini kept her captive in his home. The evening before her wedding, Luca appears. After a brief struggle, Luca drugged Aly. When she awakens, Aly finds herself a prisoner and Luca’s bride to be. The Rossi family directly opposes the Mancini family. Luca’s marriage to Aly would be a powerful move to end the Mancini family. There is a problem with the plan. Luca and Aly both have powerful feelings for one another. The loyalty to each family is the only issue preventing them from confessing their feelings to one another. What will it take to tip the balance?
An engaging Mafia romance, I thoroughly enjoyed the amount of relatable characterizations made throughout the story. Luca’s coldness was his defensive armor, and I fully understand why he did his best not to show any weakness to anyone. Growing up, she never found favor by the Mancini family. The result from one of Pierre’s affairs. She didn’t have the same loyalty to her father and went to incredible lengths to make sure she was not dependent on him for her own business success. Mancini’s attempt to manipulate Aly disgusted me. The suspense of this story is epic, and I would recommend this book to any adult reader who loves a slow burn romance with inconceivable twists.
The second book in the Realm Chronicles, this young adult fantasy story continues Titania’s journey as a Queen. Having escaped from Lower Earth, Titania finds her actions have raised concern with the High Council. Her mother remains in a catatonic state except for one statement. “More to come. You need them.” Titania holds on to the hope that Holden and Quinn can help her find a way to contact the Trinity in Upper Earth. When she receives a decree alleging she has committed treason, Titania finds herself on trial. The High Council places her on probation, with Zekiel and the council guards will follow her everywhere. How is she supposed to speak to the Trinity, since the High Council forbids it? Who can she trust?
This 4-star book has the elements of romance, discovery, magic, and good versus bad. Titania tends to abandon traditional duties of past rulers. She is seen as taking risks that affect more than just her. Constant inner turmoil plagues her, and it is easy to see her begin to become irrational. I honestly think her pride needed to be taken down a notch. Controlling others seems to be her motivation, and I was happy to see others as definite rivals. I recommend this young adult fantasy story to anyone who enjoys Fae stories with a lot of conflict.

After removing his Do Not Resuscitate Order, Will spends twelve days in the intensive care unit on a ventilator. Dr. Evans tells Tory that Will has chosen her to be his power of attorney for all healthcare decisions. When he recovers from the pneumonia, Will chooses to go through treatment. As the chemotherapy begins to make Will sick, he has a seizure and Tory has a decision to make. She agrees to allow the doctors to start dialysis, unsure if she made the right decision, as Will continues to be in pain. Three days after chemotherapy ends, Will receives his stem cell transplant. After several blood transfusions, he is finally released to go home as his cancer is in remission
All joy ends, as Will becomes severely anemic and cannot breathe overnight. Tory rushes him to the emergency room, and he is given another blood transfusion. Angry with the case manager, Tory becomes irate about the delay in service for Will. The following day, Will goes home and manages to do well until the day after Thanksgiving. Tory finds him clutching his stomach and violently vomiting. Rushing him to the emergency room, Will suffers from a panic attack and goes unconscious. Did the cancer return? Dr. Evans returns to give the diagnosis of graft versus host. This time, Will has to spend several weeks in the hospital until he is released to go home before Christmas.
During the entire course of Will’s treatments and multiple hospital trips, the love that the couple has continues to grow. The most endearing part of the love is the paper flowers Will makes for Tory every Tuesday. On Christmas, he gave her a heart necklace made with his birthstone. A true romantic at heart, I think any woman would have loved to be with Will.

Tori is a clinical psychologist at a hospital in Seattle who has taken it upon herself to provide terminal patients company. The patients have no visitors, and Tori feels that nobody should die alone. When her friend Jenny, a nurse for the hospital, approaches her about Will, Tori is caught off guard at his age. At 29 years old, Will has been diagnosed with an infection coupled with an end stage lymphoma.

At first, Tori visits Will, and he refuses to answer any questions except “Can I come back tomorrow?” As days go by, Will admits that he is eagerly awaiting her daily visits. Tori also begins to look forward to seeing him. They soon become friends and on the weekends, Tori brings movies, and they end up growing closer.

Tori pleads with him to allow the hospital to treat him, but he refuses. As Tori sits at home grieving, she receives a call from Jenny that changes her entire view about Will. What changes? How will she handle his death?
I cannot express my utter emotional response to this book. I look forward to reading the sequel. As Tori fell in love with Will, I felt my heart go out to him. I will admit that it brought tears to my eyes when Will was diagnosed with pneumonia, and I connected with Tori’s pain when he rejected her company. I also struggled with why she just wouldn’t tell him that she loved him too.

Imagine wanting to write a book based loosely off a favorite show. Liz was watching a building, writing notes about people who were entering and exiting, making up stories about what they could be doing. She was aware that she was looking at MI5 headquarters, which was supposedly a location where her favorite crime series show filmed. Liz was incorrect, and little did she know that she was about to embark upon several life altering events in life.
MI5 was the headquarters of the Secret Services, and they pounced upon the writer. After reviewing files and her notes, supervising agent Alex takes special notice of Liz’s attention to details. He convinces her to go through training and become an agent. Liz’s first assignment leads her to Athens, and uniting with her estranged father. When she meets her father, she feels he is not being honest with her about details important to her case. After checking into a hotel, she learns that she is now on a hit list after Alex thwarts an assassination attempt on her life.
After recovering from injuries, Liz’s assignment is security detail at a banquet hall with Alex. The banquet is ambushed and Liz becomes separated from the main group. When she gains a view of the main area, she discovers her group is surrounded. Unsure of what to do, she suddenly hears a voice calling out her name to surrender. Liz knows the voice is sinister and belongs to someone she never thought would hurt her. What does Liz do, fight or surrender? This is a fast-paced 4 star novel that will keep you turning pages in discovery.
Sofia La Rosa is excited about featuring her designer clothing in Milan. While altering Eva’s dress, the mention of Ivan Pavlov being in town catches her attention. When Sofia questions Eva, her cousin shifts the conversation to Enzo Vitale. Sofia has always wanted to be in a relationship with Enzo since childhood. Unfortunately, Enzo was in an arranged marriage contract to Elena Caruso. Elena, presumed dead after an abduction which included Emiliano Vitale, couldn’t possibly fulfill the contract. Enzo assumed that he was now free of the contract and could pursue Sofia, since he had the same feelings. After seeing how his younger sister didn’t seem to recover emotionally from her traumatic ordeal, Enzo has attempted to distance himself from Sofia. In his mind, if she was with him, she would become a target. Discovering Ivan Pavlov has set his sadistic sight on Sofia, Enzo becomes determined to protect her. Why is Ivan pursuing her? Sofia knows the answer, but revealing the secret could drive Enzo further away.
I thoroughly enjoyed this Mafia romance novel. It picked up from the first book No Way Out, yet has the ability to be a standalone novel as well. The shift between Sofia and Enzo’s thoughts seamlessly transition well. The ending adds a suspense element that I feel I know the answer to, but I will only find out by reading the sequel. I highly recommend this 5-star novel to anyone that likes a good romance with the addition of a danger element. What secret does Sofia have that Ivan wants the answer to? Why is the Russian Mafia targeting the Chicago Italian Mafia?
Tenacious: Billionaire Bodyguard by Via Mari is a story about Allie and Nick. A human trafficking ring is after Allie and her best friend Lexie. After previously thwarting the plans of the leader, Allie assumes that she no longer needs a bodyguard. Unfortunately, both women are still in danger, requiring lockdown. Nick, Liam, Trent are her bodyguards from Prestion Corporation and are vigilant in their duties. Nick has an ulterior motive. Without Allie’s knowledge, he had privately funded her personal bodyguard services while he was stationed in another country. A noticeable attraction presents when they are together, and both of them recognize this. Allie refuses to have any relationship, still reeling from her childhood and a failed relationship that was a carbon copy of what her mother had endured. Nick becomes creative and starts chipping away at Allie’s defensive wall.
Via Mari created a quick read romance with Tenacious. Then she crafted a major side plot that intensifies that danger element from the human trafficking ring. By attacking a major and current social issue, this is a book that can raise awareness to the rising problem that is worldwide. This is a 5-star story worth reading, and I would recommend young adults and above pick up a copy. I caution readers sensitive to explicit scenes that this book does contain several scenes, including BDSM club play.

Tasked with raising Amelia, Alex became overprotective and felt the need to continue his role even after she became an adult.

Everleigh was getting over a boyfriend that she had caught cheating on, but kicked her out of the apartment. All four formed a tight family type unit.

The Last Danaan by Victoria Saccenti is the sequel to Titanian’s Phoenix in her exciting fantasy series the Titanian Chronicles. The story opens with Kailen battling Astarot’s horde and dark wizards alongside the young Titanian Soren. Kailen has protection from his love Nadrine, a powerful sorceress. When Kailen notices a fellow warrior had been outnumbered by two strong adversaries, he tries to give aid, only to be put in the sights of a lieutenant. Nadrine interferes, but a dark wizard vanquishes her. From that moment, Kailen declares he will never love another again. Fast-forward to the 21st century and Kailen has attracted the desire of Talaith, a sorceress that has the ability to see memories of others. Despite his attempt to ignore her, he finds himself drawn in and becomes intimate. Kailen makes Talaith his right hand and vows to protect her.
Dubtach, Oras, and Brysys have somehow broken free from the exile realm. Brysys is adamant in reaching Eachann to plead her case. Unknown to many, Astarot had kept the sorceress locked in a cell. From the view of Eachann and the Titanains, she is a traitor due to a conspiracy caused by Eachann’s brother. When Brysys is battling against one of Dubtach’s creatures, Kailen and Talaith come to her aid. The powerful sorceress endures severe injuries, and they teleport straight into Eachann’s home. The vampire doesn’t promise Brysys anything more than to receive treatment and if she stays any longer, he will kill her. This causes a problem for Kailen and Talaith, as they were already assigned a mission in another location. Kailen vowed to never be separated from Talaith, but Brysys has to be taken to Soren’s to recover. While Talaith and Kailen are separated, will he be able to keep his promise, or will Talaith end up like Nadrine?
Victoria Saccenti’s The Last Danaan complimented perfectly Titanian’s Phoenix. I have had the pleasure of reading both books in order and found the developing plot captivating. The characters in the first book still appeared and the connections that Kailen and Talaith had with them continue to develop. I could fully understand the hesitation Talaith had of showing her emotions to Kailen. He did a lot to dismiss her overtures and was distrustful of her intentions. I didn’t expect how quickly Kailen changed his thoughts about Talaith, especially after his vow to never love another woman since Nadrine had died. Eachann’s pain from discovering Brysys is alive is believable, and I would probably feel similarly if a few hundred years had passed since being betrayed. The story’s pace is definitely one of my favorite aspects because it held my attention and I found myself unable to stop reading until I reached the end. The open ending leads directly into another edition of the series. I would recommend this 5-star fantasy romance to any adult reader that enjoys shifter stories. The ability to look through their eyes and see what Talaith and Kailen feelings is effortless and makes this book a delight. I look forward to more stories in The Titanian Chronicles.

The Scarlet Princess by Robin D. Mahle and Elle Madison is a captivating story about Rowan. The story opens with Rowan and her cousin Davin sitting in a dungeon. The cousins had been caught smuggling Vodka from Socair to Lochlann. Lord Theodore interrogates the two and states that the punishment for smuggling is death. When Princess Rowan and Lord Davin stand before Duke Iire, he proclaims that the Summit will decide their fate. Much to Lord Davin’s dismay, Princess Rowan gains clemency for him by stating the smuggling was her fault, and he had only come along upon her request. The trip to the Summit lasts several days, and a romance builds between Lord Theodore and the princess. They keep their affair a secret even after they reach the Summit.
Lochlann was blamed for causing a war that caused the deaths of many Socairians. Since Socair consisted of 9 clans, the Summit was where the clans met and formed a council when a decision would affect all of them. Princess Rowan attempts to disguise the one feature that would show her affiliation with Lochlann: her fiery red hair. While at the Summit, Princess Mila befriends Princess Rowan, and introduces her to a different side of Socair. Despite attempting to avoid standing out, the council seems conflicted on what her outcome would be. Will they vote in her favor? Or will she die at the gallows?
I thoroughly enjoyed The Scarlet Princess. The flow of the story was steady with plenty of action. I loved how Princess Rowan was witty and forthcoming, never holding her tongue despite how others viewed her. Her red hair seemed to be considered a curse, and I wonder why that thought seemed validated by everyone. I only was able to connect this to possibly being a trait of Lochlann royalty. The romance between Lord Theodore and Princess Rowan seemed strange at first, but at the Summit, the reasoning fit perfectly. Mahle and Madison created a stunning 5-star book and I sincerely look forward to continuing the series. The ending is wide open for the many possibilities that await Princess Rowan.

Mahle and Elle Madison – Review by Stephanie Chapman
Amy McKinley’s No Way Out is one of the most character intense stories I have ever read. The story of the Chicago’s Italian-American Mafia families showed how they had their own political agendas. Lilianna Brambilla’s role as a Mafia “princess” made her an asset to her father. Benito Brambilla’s power was crumbling from the destruction of several warehouses he used to store drugs. The Council of the Mafia frowned upon drug dealings, but Benito did not care.
Max Caruso’s, along with his cousins, directions are to protect Lilianna and to reintroduce her to her Grandfather VIncenzo. After her mother had died, Benito refused to allow any contact with VIncenzo. Max infiltrates Benito’s home as Matteo “Matt” Trambino, with a reputation for being a hitman for the original families that never failed to get a job done. Benito assigns Matt to guard Lilianna. After a dinner with the Mexican cartel and Matt protecting Lilianna from the unwanted attention of an ambitious youngster, she begins to trust him. She also feels something different about Matt, but dismisses her underlying feelings, knowing her father would never allow her to date an employee. Little does she know, but Matt has grown a much larger attachment to her and intends to get her out of the prison life she lives. When Antonio Caruso strikes a deal with Benito, Lilianna goes into panic mode. She was to marry the oldest son of the Caruso family, Tony. Suspected of killing his previous fiancé, Tony is despised by Lilianna. She fakes her escape and finds herself losing her thoughts of control when Matt foils her plans.
This is a stellar 5-star thrilling romance. The alternating narrative between Max and Lilianna is seamless. I loved how McKinley was able to bring the characters alive with rational thoughts and how easy it was to connect with them. The outward appearance of Lilianna was a farce of someone that feared nobody, but underneath she ran on fear. The amount of weaponry she carried with her everywhere was overkill, which in her shoes, I probably would have done the same. Living in a house where your mother died, and being treated as property by your father, would break just about anyone. The ending of this book fits and doesn’t feel rushed like other romance novels tend to be.

Dahlia has finally gotten a break since her divorce from her son’s father, Trey. Promoted to General Manager of Riverbank Lodge, her boss has assigned her the task of setting up a 2-day event for the lodge’s fifth anniversary. She has 6 weeks to accomplish this, but there is one catch. The Pavilion had to be built for the party, and the contractor was Levi Vance. Levi used to be her best friend since childhood, but after discovering Trey was cheating on her at her birthday party, she had avoided seeing him. Levi was Trey’s friend and had known of Trey’s infidelity. Levi had not gotten over severing his connection with Dahlia, and he was determined to rectify the situation. Both had once had strong feelings for one another, but the timing had never been right; with this in mind, he wasn’t going to allow the estranged relationship continue.
Renee Regent wrote a nail-biting romance novel with the right balance of conflict and character development. There were moments when I thought Dahlia was ultimately going to pack her bags and run away from Levi. I liked her devotion to parenting her son and how Levi developed a deep connection with him. Trey was despicable, and the twist added into his character threw me for a loop. The execution of the end is flawless, and I would recommend this 5-star novel to any romance novel lover. There are a couple of explicit scenes, so this isn’t appropriate for youthful readers.

Can you imagine following in the footsteps of a parent when you are their polar opposite? Flirting With My Enemy by Laura Burton introduces Elle Brook’s narrative as she attempts to make her deceased mother’s bakery successful. She has fierce competition when a Got Cake, a corporate competitor, is built next door. The day that Elle is going to release a brand-new type of cupcake, she finds that her entire store smells like rotting fish. Her “grandmother” Joyce signed for four boxes, and they are filled with trout. She is mortified, knowing that a prominent magazine reporter has arrived to do a story on Elle’s store. Elle intercepts the reporter outside to prevent her from going inside, only to have Zane Masters steal away the interview. Zane is a billionaire and owner of Got Cake. Elle is certain he has tried to sabotage her store and plans to get even with him. Her friend Connie joins her plan to seduce Zane and destroy his reputation. Little does Elle know, Zane has an ulterior motive for her as well. Did Zane sabotage Elle?
I like the development of each individual character and the emotions that Laura Burton made easy to read. This is a quick story despite being 18 chapters long. The titles of the chapters give a predictive idea of what Elle is going to face. Zane is a very sincere and emotional character, and I could easily envision being unable to resist his charm. The supporting characters are integral parts that had a large purpose to the overall story. Flirting With My Enemy is the first of a series, and I look forward to reading more of Burtons’s work in the future

N.D. Jackson created Bared with a focus on Athena from the Green Street Girls series.. A riveting opening with Athena promising her best friend Charlie that she would live a real-life, no matter how painful it could be. Athena successfully becomes an owner of several nightclubs throughout the world and is opening a new club in Chicago that will be hosting the World Pool-Billiards Association’s Inaugural Tour of Champions. As Athena is preparing for a press conference, Trumball “Tru” shows up early for the tournament. From the start, the two are drawn to one another and get along well in conversation. The only issue that came between them was the internal fear of trusting anyone that Athena had. Despite all of his efforts to get her to open up, Tru is left wondering why she didn’t trust him. Tru divulged all of his past and even allows Athena into his personal life with his mother but this does nothing to get her to open up. One evening, as they are approaching Athena’s home there is a man waiting. The encounter is one that changes every part of the relationship.
This is an excellently executed story that addresses’ loyalty, trust, and even racial issues are lightly touched on. Athena comes across as a tough as nails person, but her inner emotions are conflicted after losing Charlie. While she tried to prove to everyone that she continued on with life by having one night flings, skydiving, and parties in her clubs, she never really lets anyone in. Tru, while having been hurt in a past relationship, seemed to be more open and honest. If looking for a romance novel with a strong female lead, then Bared by N.D. Jackson will fit perfectly.

(A Green St. Girls Romance) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Stephanie Chapman
Cooper McKenzie crafted the perfect story pertaining to every mother’s nightmare. Least Likely Suspect: Revenge, narrated by Samantha Wycoff and her need to seek vengeance for her son’s death. Depressed after the death of her husband, Samantha received a call from the police stating that her son had been beaten and was in critical condition at a hospital. Samantha spends a week at the hospital before she reluctantly has Thomas taken off of life support. After hearing what had been witnessed by neighbors, Samantha knows that Velvet Flores, Thomas’s girlfriend, was guilty of her son’s death. She tried reasoning with police, stating that Thomas had been hospitalized before due to Velvet’s violence. Unfortunately, Velvet has an alibi, and police don’t pursue the case. During Thomas’s funeral, Samantha encounters Micah, an older friend of Thomas’s that had been like a second son to her. After telling Micah about the circumstances for her son’s death, Micah assures he will help in avenging Thomas’s death. At first, when I read the feelings that Samantha felt around Micah, I suspected that there was a possibility of a romance mixed in. I was completely wrong. I also found it odd how the police didn’t take into account that Velvet had previously injured Thomas, did not attend the funeral and moved in another man in the house that she shared with Thomas. Those all seem suspicious indications to me. I connected with Samantha easily, because I know I would kill somebody over my children. I can’t imagine the amount of grief that she had balled up inside her after losing her husband to cancer and three years later her 24-year-old son. This is a 5-star book that dives into mystery, self-discovery, depression, and overcoming impossible odds. Does Samantha kill Velvet? Does the justice system deal with the consequences of Samantha’s actions or Velvet? Pick up this Least Likely Suspect: Revenge by Cooper McKenzie to find out.

Mornin the Super Bird- Mornin Finds A Way To Fight Extinction by Jules Heartly is a book for young readers about preservation. Mornin makes videos to share with his friends when one day he finds statues of animals that have become extinct. In an effort to prevent his friends and family members from going extinct, he recruits his animal friends in spreading awareness to people. The video featured the various extinct animals but ended with a song to motivate children to save future generations from going extinct.
This was a cute book that portrayed a message of preservation. Heartly includes links that are teachable articles. She also includes a YouTube video for a read along of the book. I found the words in the book to be simple and easy to read which make it perfect for school age children. I rate this a 5-star book for its informative and imaginative delivery against environmental destruction.

Terrifying Love is a Halloween anthology of seven short stories and poems. Before each story is a poem by Helle Gade. The First Story is written by Serna Nova and is about Willow and her effort to save a young girl that has been abducted. The title is called Bringing Home and fits well with the plot. Story two is called HIs Dancer and is written by Isobella Dunn. This was my favorite story about a stalker and his obsession to get to BInx. The story alternates between Binx and the stalker’s point of view and is considered to be a prequel to another of Dunn’s books. Story Three is called La Siguanaba by Everly Taylor and is about a woman that wishes to have love instead of royal treatment. Her affair angers the gods and she is punished in a very unusual manner. Reflections Of The Past by Melody Calder is another story I was fond of. A mirror holds a type of portal to an evil ghost bent on exacting her revenge on the families that had killed her and her lovers. The twist at the end was a shocker for sure. Runes and Fangs by Victoria Larque is a story of a vampire and her run in with a witch. This particular vampire is actually a huntress trying to kill off other supernatural beings like witches and other vampires. She finds she needs the witch to assist her in her ultimate goal of killing the vampire that had turned her. Bloody Money by Annalie Jansssen features Anna losing out on a promotion and having to take care of a set of files that she finds are extremely odd. Rumor in the office was that the set of files previous handlers had all died. Anna reports the issues to her boss but he does nothing to rectify the situation. She then reports to the top manager what she was finding. Suddenly, she finds she is receiving death threats and even was attacked. The Final story is called The Spade and the Patio by Ada Rossi. This interesting story was perfect for the end of the book as it is regarding a woman speaking to an interviewer that will decide her fate. The woman tells the interviewer how she was unhappy in her marriage and over the years began to resent her husband. As the woman tells her story, she comes to the realization that her fate was completely in her own hands. She attempts to kill her husband with a spade but her failed attempt causes her to end up in the office with the Interviewer.
This is one of the best short story collections that I have ever read. Each story had a beginning and definite ending with well developed characters and story lines. While this is considered a Halloween Anthology, not all of the stories involve blood and gore. I am rating this collection a full 5 stars because I honestly cannot think of anything I disliked. The pace of the stories was even and every page kept my interest to the end of the book. I recommend this for adults that like reading short stories, I would caution readers as there is explicit content involved in some of the novellas which would make this inappropriate for young readers.

Sons of Sindicato: Brink of Denial by Sonya Jesus and Cam Johns, features Dane Giordano and Milana Lombradi’s conflict-filled lives. Eleven years ago, Milana decided to leave Dane and head to California. She became a model and changed her name to Mila Leblanc. Every few years she would visit New Jersey and hook up with Dane, only to leave again. As time wore on, Dane tries to convince himself that he hated Mila, and tries to move on but fails to find a woman that could feel the emptiness that Mila left behind.
Present day Mila isn’t doing as well as she had once dreamed and finds herself in a situation that requires her to seek the assistance of her past. Tyler Pence, a former lover of Mila’s, has been blackmailing her for over 8 years with a sex tape that would destroy her career. When she agrees to meet him in New Jersey, she calls Dane for help. While Dane does assist her to a degree, Tyler is left alive and proves to be more than just a pain to Mila. He shows proof that he can expose the Sindicato and bring the entire Mafia down. Mila knows she needs to return to her Lombardi roots and join forces with Dane in order to stop Tyler.
This is a 5-star book and I would recommend reading the prequel Sons of Sindicato Novella in order to understand the intertwining plot. This is a fast-paced book with deception, passion, and family dysfunction that is sure to become a favorite of any suspense reader.

I found Sexy Drug to be a very character centered book. Melody Calder was able to draw my interest in with the constant turmoil within Ramone fighting his feelings and keeping the facade of a killer. Katie’s hatred towards her father runs deep, and she tries to thwart his control at every interaction. She Also has a deep-seated hatred as she suspects Carl’s right-hand Danny to be the one that caused her mother’s disappearance. What I found unique about the plot was that the assassin had a voice. Going by the name of K, he is determined to finish his mission or face a gruesome death at the hands of the unknown person that has hired him. The details of this book are gruesome, and I would caution anyone adverse to extreme violence and bloody death scenes to proceed with extreme caution. The ending was climatic and left off leaving me questioning the true motives of Ramone and Carl Rosemand. I also wonder if K is given another chance to kill Katie or if his botched sniper attempt has cost him his freedom. I can solidly give this a 5-star rating as the plot compliments the character development and kept my interest that I read the entire book in one sitting.

Walker Pride is the first book of the Walker Family series by Bernadette Marie. I discovered this book to have exceptionally well-developed characters. Eric Walker was the oldest brother that lived in a house on the far edge of the property where he ran a horse-boarding business. When he has to go to the main house for the reading of his grandfather’s will, he encounters Susan Hayes. After a few pleasantries were exchanged, his stepmother hurries him into the office where Eric’s whole world gets flipped upside down. His uncle Byron had gambled away the property and house that Eric had been on, and his grandfather had paid the debt by willing the property to Elias Morgan. Obviously upset, Eric hangs about with his cousin Bethany for a while. Bethany was in search of a place to live since the death of her mother. Ironically, Susan was in search of someone to be a roommate and help with her larger catering jobs. Eric intrigued with Susan and goes with Bethany to see Susan’s home. They end up going to dinner, and Eric pays. He tells Susan “You owe me one.”
The plot thickens with Eric’s violent interaction with Tyson Morgan. Susan and Eric develop a “thing” that they try to define and eventually settle on a possible long-term relationship. One morning, Eric discovers that someone has poisoned some of his horses and the cattle start dying as well. Who would do this? Eric suspects the Morgans and goes insane when he discovers Susan’s car at their home. I was shell shocked when I discovered the answers and the extreme secrets that are revealed as the story continues to unfold. This is a book that I cannot even think of scoring less than 5-stars. If you are looking for a romance story with mystery and fast pace revelations, this is one I would recommend highly.

Seductive Prey by Vivian Fiano is a romance thriller that kept me fully engaged with the story. Jordan Smith has come home from her National Guard training and is ready to start working at a dance studio. When she enters the building one morning with a coworker, a strange man is inside attempting to steal music speakers. Realizing he has been caught, he tries to attack Jordan. When the police arrive, the man flees. Jordan recognizes one of the officers is Staff Sergeant Grant Summers from her National Guard unit. A few days later Grant and Jordan begin dating only to find a stalker is after Jordan.
The story is written in first person view that alternates between Grant and Jordan. I have three people as possible guesses for the stalker. First is Sloan: Jordan’s friend that wanted an intimate relationship, but she turned him down. Second is Officer Lynch: Grant’s partner that starts acting strangely and randomly disappears. Third is Piper Smith: Jordan’s sister who is jealous of Jordan’s ability to be praised by their father. The abrupt ending is at a major climatic point that had me begging to read the sequel. This is a 5 star romantic suspense book that I would recommend for adult readers that like a good mystery.

Amy McKinley just amazes me with how well she integrates every book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series. Forged by Secrets is the third book and involves a plot crossing continents and espionage. Gabriela was a grief-stricken teen that had fled Venezuela after her parents and fiancé died. After changing her name to Malina, she does her best to not allow anyone to get emotionally close. Tyler Hale insisted on breaking through her coldness, and she ended up in a hotel room in Vegas. When she woke, she ran from committing to a relationship. Several weeks later Malina arrives at work only to be intercepted by her coworker, Anna. Upon Anna’s advice and seeing international agents at her work station, Malina runs. Uncertain of where to go, she remembers that Tyler had a house on a family-owned island. Tyler was still not back from a mission in Venezuela, but Malina decided to gamble on hiding in hopes that he would return.
I liked the way McKinley kept the intensity of Malina’s emotions realistic. If I was running and facing the obstacles that she encountered, I would be just as nervous. I know the Navy SEAL retains the appearance of being calm, and Tyler’s demeanor matched this. McKinley added the emotional distress he was concealing, and I wondered if the poor guy was going to end up with an ulcer at the end. The end of the book is open-ended just like the prequels, and I am hoping to continue reading any future sequels. I am confidently rating this a solid 5 stars.

Bernadette Marie’s romance novel The Executive Decision is the first book in the Keller Family Series. Regan is a highly insecure woman that has been attempting to recover from an abusive relationship. Even though the physical wounds had healed over the past year, the psychological effects still linger causing her to keep men at a distance. When she started her new job at a real estate agency, her boss immediately felt an attraction to her. Zach Benson is determined to break through her defensive wall. Regan’s attempts to keep a professional work relationship falters as she realizes she has mutual feelings for Zach. Will she let the charming executive in or will she push him away and stay isolated by allowing her past to dictate her future?
Bernadette Marie made The Executive’s Decision a very intense romance story. The inner conflict that Regan battles are realistic and the determination of Zach is admirable. Zach wasn’t overly pushy and seemed in tune with how Regan felt, a rare quality. I also like that there was a family-connected support story that many romance novels tend to lack. The dialogue and personal interactions are engaging and, while there are some explicit scenes of passion, the story is classy. I confidently rate this a 5-star romance story that I recommend to anyone looking for a relatable character-centered story.
