ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 26, 2024

They call him the executioner.
Some say monster.
Dishonorably discharged from the military, he runs a highly secret, clandestine
operation, and has everything I need to find the justice I crave.
Power players at his disposal.
An insatiable hunger for justice.
A reckless disregard for the law.
I offer him my skills, but that’s not what he wants…
He wants me.
And Cain Master always gets what he wants.

•••••

REVIEW: The newest addition to the Jane Henry world; Obsession. A dark, forced proximity, romantic mystery that is sure to entertain its readers. This is a standalone book, and as such does not need any additional reading.

This author is a first time read to me, and because of that this book was eye opening, and a pretty good read for the most. I would check the trigger warning before reading, mainly because of the stalking that comes into play, but overall it did not feel very dark. The majority of the book runs a little slow paced, but the plot and story telling is engaging and easy to keep up with. Mystery romances can sometimes fall flat for me because I can always figure out who the “bad guy” is, well not with this one.

Violet and Cain are trippy! Cain is a PI with a very well known firm that is very exclusive in their clients. When Violet reaches out to Cain with a plea to help her find the monsters that killed her parents, Cain isn’t surprised. After all, he’s been keeping an eye on her already, in hopes of guiding her to coming to him for help. In the next twist, Cain’s sister is taken, and Violet has been added to the hit list of the man who has taken her. So much happens in the plot of this story, however it really doesn’t start moving until about half way through the book. Cain and Violet work together to find his sister and the people who killed her parents. A lot happens in the span of this mystery, and when Violet learns that Cain betrayed her, well all bets are off on that interaction. Overall pretty good book, action and mystery are top notch, spice…could have been better but overall good.

NOTE: OBSESSION is the re-release of the author’s Vengeance and Atonement duet.

The Forbidden (Bluegrass Empires 2) by Sawyer Bennett-review

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Google Play /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 23, 2024

The prince of his family’s Kentucky bourbon empire, Gabriel Mardraggon is a ruthless and cunning businessman. Focused on the continued success of Mardraggon Enterprises, relationships and settling down aren’t even on his radar. After all, he’s the product of two people who always put money before love. Loyal to the family’s creed of winning at all costs, as well as their hatred of the Blackburns, Gabe will never accept peace between the dynasties.

Katherine Blackburn is Gabe’s polar opposite—carefree, lighthearted and completely mischievous. Kat works hard as a horse trainer but never hesitates to let her hair down and have a little fun. And lately that has included poking at Gabe and his buttoned-up ways, much to his irritation. Getting a rise out of the cold but gorgeous Mardraggon heir brings Kat unfettered joy, especially given their two families’ ugly history together.

Blackburns and Mardraggons are bitter enemies. Any type of relationship would be strictly forbidden. But when Gabe’s business dealings hurt Kat in a way he never imagined, his walls crumble and he’s forced to lay his feelings for Kat bare. Now Gabe has to decide if he’s ready to alter the course of history or walk away from the only genuine thing he’s ever known.

•••

REVIEW:THE FORBIDDEN is the second instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult BLUEGRASS EMPIRES erotic, romance series focusing on the Blackburn and the Mardraggon families. This is twenty-seven year old, horse trainer Katherine ‘Kat’ Blackburn, and attorney/businessman/ heir to the Mardraggon empire Gabriel ‘Gabe’ Mardraggon’s story line. THE FORBIDDEN can be read as a stand alone but for back story I recommend reading book one THE FEUD.

SOME BACKGROUND: The Mardraggon and Blackburn families have been in a virtual war for approximately one-hundred and seventy years . The reasons focus on a history between the two families, a history that no longer involves the current generations but both families struggle in the wake of ongoing betrayal, and the Mardraggon’s are slowly spiraling out of control.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Gabe and Kat) THE FORBIDDEN follows in the wake of his father’s betrayal and actions that could have cost the life of someone Gabe and Kat both loved. Desperate to make amends for his father’s actions, Gabe is offering to give up control, and in doing so, rekindle a relationship he destroyed eight years earlier by pushing away the woman he would always love. Enter Katherine Blackburn. The Blackburn and Mardraggon families will now be connected for the rest of eternity but their history continues to affect the present day. As Gabe tries to make amends, Kat will fall victim to another betrayal, another betrayal by someone else.

The world building continues to focus on a one-hundred and seventy year old feud between two wealthy and connected families, families that barely remember what happened or why. Gabe and Kat’s previous relationship was kept secret for fear of retaliation but it would be Kat who would pay the ultimate price when another betrayal targets our story line heroine.

The relationship between Kat and Gabe is one of second chances. Gabe destroyed Katherine’s heart and soul eight years earlier when he refused to acknowledge their relationship, and in doing so, tore down any hope or trust for our story line heroine. As Gabe and Kat attempt to rebuild what once was, someone else is working behind the scenes to punish Gabe for the sins of the past. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of colorful , powerful and dynamic secondary and supporting characters including Kat’s siblings,-Trey, Wade, Ethan and Marcie, their mother Fiona; Ethan’s daughter Sylvie; Gabe’s parents Lionel and Rosemund Mardraggon. The requisite evil has many faces.

THE FORBIDDEN is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, secrets and lies, money and entitlement, family and acceptance, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is complex, dramatic and inviting ; the characters are animated, sassy and stubborn; the romance is edgy.

Barrett (Broken Falls 4) by Laramie Briscoe-review tour

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Google Play /Apple /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 26, 2024

Barrett Grant is wild AF with hips he knows how to use, and he’s also eleven years younger than me…

Gabby

Get Baked is the culmination of every dream I had as a twenty-something. A dream my ex-husband stomped like a bug beneath the tip of his expensive Italian leather shoe. When I left with nothing more than my dignity and a vintage stand mixer I found at a thrift store, all I wanted was to be happy. Promised myself I wouldn’t settle until that happened.

Years later, it’s finally happening in the small town of Broken Falls, WV. My dreams are coming true, my happiness is so close I can reach out and touch it.

But my secrets? They won’t stay buried forever. Especially where Barrett Grant is concerned.

Barrett

I messed up big time with Gabby, the hot, older, owner of Get Baked. I had no business swiping right if I wasn’t going to take our relationship and her feelings seriously. When I reacted badly to a waitress who questioned if she was my mother, I should’ve let it go.

But I didn’t, and now I can’t. Not when I miss the f*ck out of her, and lost a year off my life the night Get Baked was broken into. This time, I promise myself, I’ll give us the shot we should’ve gotten the first time.

If only she gives me a second chance.

••••••

REVIEW:The next installment in the Broken Falls saga; Barrett continues the journey. This book is all about the small town, age gap, second chance romance that sets the pages aflame with their chemistry. As always it’s recommended to read the series in order to get the most out of the story and characters, but each book can be read as a standalone.

Gabby and Barrett are a hoot to read! Gabby is a decade older than Barrett, and living life as a newly divorced woman, Barrett is a younger guy planning his life with his buddies. How these two mesh, I don’t know, but boy oh boy do they. They have a history together and I think that and their age gap makes the most out of the plot of the story. Nonetheless, the story is quick and easy to keep up for the reader.

If you’re looking for something quick, spicy and fun, this is the book for you. Ms. Author has a wonderful talent at world building, her characters are fun and memorable, and the story is entertaining. You can’t ask for more in any book.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Re-release June 26, 2024

A grumpy vet, a murderous marmalade cat, and a ridiculously hot guy who rescues dogs for a living…

My plan was simple: move to this small town, open a vet clinic with my bestie, and save as many animals as I could. But then he walked in and ruined everything.

Ryder Carson.
The man who thinks he can boss me around the minute he has a whimpering dog in his arms.
I mean…he’s not wrong. If an animal is in pain, I’ll do anything I can. But I draw the line at humans.
We clash in all the wrong ways, and most days, he makes me want to neuter him. But then one night, he brings in two little rescues, and I’m too sick to treat them.
He steals my car keys, grabs me like I’m an abandoned kitten in need of a hug, and takes me home—unwillingly, I might add. I call it a kidnapping. He calls it a rescue. He likes to do that, you see.And now that he’s ‘rescued me’, he’s demanding payback.

One date.
A single date to see if the sparks between us can set us on fire.Apparently, if I behave myself on this date, I can touch the very thing I faceplanted in to the first day he appeared in my surgery cradling a sausage dog.
Don’t judge me. If you saw him hugging that little wiener, you would’ve stumbled into his pants too—accidentally of course.
But now I have permission.
An open invitation to see if this handsome, broody alpha is actually hiding a puppy dog heart beneath all that dangerous bite…

•••••••••••

REVIEW: CAN’T TOUCH THIS by Pepper Winters is a stand-alone, contemporary adult, romantic comedy (rom-com) story line focusing on veterinarian Vesper Fairfax, and animal rehabber Ryder Carson.

NOTE: CAN’T TOUCH THIS was originally released in 2016 under the author’s pseudonym Tess Hunter

Told from dual first person perspectives (Vesper and Ryder) CAN’T TOUCH THIS follows the building relationship between animal rehabber Ryder Carson, and veterinarian Vesper Fairfax. For six months Ryder has been taking wounded and sick dogs to Vesper’s animal clinic hoping that our heroine will take notice of the man that stands before her. Ryder was instantly attracted to the new veterinarian but his frequent visits appeared to be riling up the feisty doc and each successive visit Vesper’s anger towards Ryder grew more intense and dark. Their back and forth banter usually involved Ryder’s sexual innuendos and snarky come backs in the hopes of breaking down the doctor’s barriers. What ensues are Ryder’s attempts to convince Vesper to take a chance on the man and a possible future.

There is plenty of sexual tension between our leading couple; the $ex scenes are intimate and intense. We learn a little bit about Vesper and Polly’s ongoing friendship, and how Ryder’s started on the path of saving man’s best friend.

We are introduced to Vesper’s business partner and fellow veterinarian Polly Dartford, a woman trying to come to terms with the loneliness when her best friend begins to fall in love; and Ryder’s globe trotting brother Rupert Carson- a man looking for someone to complete his life. Their story will be told next in Can’t Own This.

CAN’T TOUCH THIS is a lighthearted, romantic comedy with very little angst or conflict from outside sources. There are moments of fun and humor mixed with heartbreaking stories of animals in need and rescues. The premise is enjoyable and entertaining; the characters are colorful and fun; the romance is seductive and provocative.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 16, 2024

A perilous journey ignites passion between an artist and an heiress
Cassius Westbrook, the youngest twin son of a duke, has no desire to bask in the societal privileges his birth affords him. Choosing the arduous path of an artist in Brighton over the complications of love and marriage, he dedicates his enthusiasm to his artwork instead of romance. However, his steadfast resolve falters when he is hired to paint a miniature for the enchanting Beatrice Fairfax. Her guardian uncle intends to use this portrait to secure a wealthy suitor for the orphaned heiress, a notion that Cassius finds detestable, yet he agrees to the commission.

Beatrice Fairfax, heiress to a modest fortune, is resolute in her decision never to marry. Scarred by her mother’s scandalous affair and her own disheartening encounters with men, she dedicates herself to an independent yet solitary future, expanding her animal rescue sanctuary and traveling the world. But her uncle harbors sinister designs on her fortune, determined to bend her to his will by any means necessary, including forcing her into an arranged marriage. His machinations lead Beatrice to seek Cassius’s aid, igniting a desperate flight from Brighton to London.

As these two people from opposite worlds journey together, their forced proximity fans the flames of an unexpected attraction, challenging both to navigate their feelings and reconsider their futures. Will they seize this chance, or will the shadows of their pasts and the dangers of the present keep them apart? Dive into their tumultuous tale and discover if love can indeed conquer all.

••••

REVIEW:Reading Colette’s books are what i call a palate cleanser. It’s light/refreshing and you don’t have to worry about spice!

Beatrice is going to stay a spinster forever! After countless disasters with men and the scandals surrounding her mother, it’s made her extremely wary. But that’s not to say she a wallflower, oh no, she’s very independent and spirited.

Cassius only wants to be recognised for his artwork. He has no wish to bask in the notoriety like his twin does! Cassius seems like a really nice guy. He doesn’t want or need his name, and when faced with a moral dilemma, he definitely steps up.

When fate throws these two people together, there is definitely an interest there, but as both have decided to remain single, it doesn’t look like anything is going to happen….

Cassius has been asked to paint a portrait of the lovely Beatrice, her uncle intends to marry her off unbeknownst to her to a rich suitor! So they decide to plan an escape from Brighton to London, and along the way they find their friendship turning into more… But will they seize the opportunity for love? Or will their pasta hold them back?

I really enjoyed this one. Although no steam/spice, the story is a steady paced read, and soon you are engaged and engrossed.

I didn’t care for Beatrice’s uncle (nasty man!) And you have to remember that in this time period, women weren’t allowed freedom, or an option (and Beatrice had a strong belief and opinion.)

If you’re looking for a sweet love story with only a few kisses, then I recommend this one for you to read.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 25, 2024

When four thugs show up at Evergreen Gas Station with cocked shotguns and masked faces, it could have ended in the worst night of my life.
Instead, a gorgeous mystery man in leather, silver, and too many tattoos strolls into the middle of the robbery and becomes my unlikely saviour with a tarnished halo.
Only, what seemed like a random hold-up at first turns into something far more complicated and Aaron Clare isn’t the type of man to leave a woman in distress. Despite my vow not get into trouble again, I find myself following the man dubbed ‘Boner’ into a night of danger and delicious debauchery with long-reaching consequences.

••••••

REVIEW: ASKING FOR TROUBLE is the eight instalment in Giana Darling’s contemporary, adult THE FALLEN MEN dark, erotic, MC romance series. This is Aaron ‘Boner’ Clare, and twenty-five year old store clerk Faith ‘Blue’ Cavendish’s story line. ASKING FOR TROUBLE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Aaron and Blue) ASKING FOR TROUBLE follows in the aftermath of an attempted robbery and abduction of our story line heroine. Working alone at highway road stop, Faith Cavendish is about as vulnerable as she could be but she never expected to find herself facing both her past and her present when several men dared to take from our story line heroine but hr would-be rescuer would ensure Faith would be protected now and in the future but Faith’s need to run meant protecting the man with whom she would fall in love. As Faith finds herself falling for Aaron Clare, she knows it is only a matter of time before her past takes aim at the Fallen Men MC. What ensues is the building but fractured relationship between Faith and Aaron, and the fall-out as our heroine sacrifices herself to save the man that she loves.

The world building is detailed as the story unfolds revealing a looming war with the White Raiders MC, a white supremacist club that is trying to take control of the Alberta drug trade. As The Fallen Men devise a plan to take down the Raiders, Faith battles between head and heart knowing she may never be free of abuse from her past.

The relationship between Faith aka Blue and Aaron begins as a rescue but Faith knows that to get involved with The Fallen Men could mean the end of her life. As her relationship begins to grow with Aaron ‘ Boner’ Clare, someone else had previously laid claim to our story line heroine, and refuses to let go. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, engaging and sometimes questionable secondary and supporting characters. Jealousy and envy are rampant; a fight for control threatens the members of The Fallen Men MC.

ASKING FOR TROUBLE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, power and control, family and abuse, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dark, dramatic, impassioned and emotional; the romance is provocative; the characters are determined, desperate and magnetic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 23, 2024

There’s a peace that can only be found on the other side of war.
I’ve waited nearly two decades for justice.
And I’m finally close enough to get revenge.
The bad blood between me and Razr goes way back to the day his father, Scar, murdered my old pres, Keys.
I took out Scar and then Razr’s brother, Acid. They paid for their crimes.
I won’t rest until Razr meets the Reaper and faces judgment.

But the past carries secrets I never imagined.
New information surfaces and challenges everything I know.
It’s not just about protecting my club.
I’ll do anything to keep my ol’ lady and my son safe.
I would even give up the throne to ensure they survive.
Because nothing will stop me from reaping Razr’s soul and forcing him to his knees.
There’s a reason I’m called Grim. Death is my playground.
I will end this war and the feud with the Scorpions.
Not a soul, Reaper, or Lucifer himself will stop me.

This book is NOT a standalone. Devil’s Ride should be read before Grim Justice.

••••••

REVIEW: GRIM JUSTICE is the eighteenth instalment in Nikki Landis’ contemporary, adult RBMC: TONOPAH NV dark, erotic, paranormal MC romance series, a part of the multi-authored RBMC. GRIM JUSTICE is the continuing story of Dex ‘Grim Reaper’ Lanford, and his ol’ lady/wife Trish. GRIM JUSTICE should not be read as a stand alone. Grim and Trish’s story begins in Devil’s Ride #4.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Grim and Trish) GRIM JUSTICE follows Grim and the Reapers as they hunt for, and take down the man who killed Grim’s father Scar. Razr, a member of the Scorpions MC, killed Grim’s father, and justice had yet to be served by the Reapers. Razr’s release from prison comes with potential help from the Devil himself but Grim refuses Lucifer’s assistance, and in doing so, places the woman he loves in the direct line of fire. Someone is stalking Trish Lanford, and Grim is determined to destroy anyone who stands in his way.

The world building continues to focus on the speciality of the RBMC: TONOPAH NV; their connection to Lucifer Morningstar, and their altar egos as Satan’s Reapers. The members of the RBMC: Tonopah are not born Reapers but upon their death beds are offered a chance at vengeance for the people they have lost.

The relationship between Trish and Grim continues to be passionate and intimate. Now a family of three, Trish and Grim will do anything to protect the next generation of bikers, bikers who has seen and can do more than anyone could have ever imagined. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including several members of the RBMC: Tonopah; Trish’s sister Faith, her daughter Jessa; Grim and Trish’s son Creed, and Satan himself Lucifer Morningstar. The requisite evil has many faces.

GRIM JUSTICE is a quick read; a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, murder, mayhem, and justice. The fast paced premise is dramatic and edgy; the romance is provocative; the characters are powerful, determined and dangerous.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 23, 2024

Tall. Muscled. Tattooed.
Shane King was seriously hot, and seriously not a good guy.
He went by the name Ghost with his motorcycle club, and he was now their national vice president.

When Shane and his club arrived in town, they began doing favors for my family.
I didn’t know why. I didn’t want to know.
Favors came with strings attached. I didn’t want strings attaching me to the Red Demons.

Shane was a different beast, though.
I should steer clear of him, except I couldn’t.
He was everywhere, and he always looked like he wanted to tie me up in all sorts of strings.

A part of me wanted to let him.
A part of me yearned to let him.
But no.

Shane might act like the hero, but he wasn’t.
He was the villain.
And I was about to learn that the strings that came with Shane…
…they would be my unraveling.

REVIEW:FRISCO by Tijan is a contemporary, adult, stand alone, MC romance storyline focusing on thirty-six year olds, Red Demons National VP Shane ‘Ghost ‘ King, and Kalista ‘Kali’ Michaels. The Red Demons were first introduced in the author’s THE BOY I GREW UP WITH; and set in the Fallen Crest High interconnected worlds.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Kali and Shane) FRISCO follows in the wake of the arrival of the MC known as the Red Demons into Kali’s home town. Kali knew all about the biker lifestyle but it was a life she had left far behind.A secret would reveal a connection to the past, and Kali would find herself on a cross country journey in an effort to protect the sister that didn’t need protecting. Enter Red Demons VP Shane ‘Ghost’ King, and the man with whom Kali would fall in love. Shane King claimed the Red Demons owed Kali’s brother a favor, and he was in town to ensure everything was all right but when Kali’s sister Claudia would take off to California, Kali was sent on a mission of retrieval, a mission that would place her in the direct line of fire. What ensues is the building but contemptuous relationship between Kali and Shane, and the potential fall-out as betrayal from within sets the Red Demons towards a war with the Estrada Carte.

The world building follows several paths including the near death shooting of Max Raith, the Red Demons’ national president; a potential war with the Estrada Cartel; a betrayal by one of their own ; a dysfunctional family coming to terms with a potential loss; and the building relationship between our story line couple.

The relationship between Kali and Shane begins acrimoniously. Kali has lusted after Shane throughout her high school years but Shane had befriended Kali’s younger brother, a friendship that now separated Kali from the brother she loves. Struggling with her attraction to a man whose MC lifestyle is something she no longer wants, Kali finds herself under the guardianship and protection of our story line hero. The $ex scenes are intimate, provocative and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and often questionable secondary and supporting characters including the members of several Red Demons chapters; the Estrada Cartel; Kali’s mother and father; her sister Claudia, and her new man Machete, as well as Kali’s best friends Aly, Harper and Justin. I am hoping the author has plans for future story lines/series involving the Red Demons MC.

FRISCO is a story of power and control, secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, twists and turns, and a few bumps along the way. The character driven premise is captivating, engaging and dramatic; the romance is seductive and heated; the characters are determined, dynamic and aggressive.
