ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 25, 2024

Tyrant is the grumpy vice president of the KOCMC – Alabama & I can’t wait for you to meet him!

She was hiding something.

I should’ve known it from the moment I saw her on the side of the road.

Hitchhiking.She was running from someone.

A monster she called him.She had no idea one was right in front of her.She was broken inside.

Yet, her demons called to mine.

I vowed to be her hero, but I’d play the villain to anyone who hurt her.

•••••••

REVIEW:TYRANT is the first instalment in Sapphire Knight’s contemporary, adult KINGS OF CARNAGE MC: ALABAMA dark, erotic, MC romance. This is club VP Chris ‘Tyrant’ Knight, and Blair’s story line.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Tyrant and Blair) TYRANT follows the building relationship between our story line couple. Chris ‘Tyrant’ Knight has tickets to a concert in Las Vegas but none of his MC brothers are free. On his journey to Nevada, Tyrant picks up a stranger, a hitch hiker with no place to go, the woman with whom Tyrant will fall in love. Blair is a young woman, on the run, away from a dark and controlling past. Blair left something behind, something she is desperate to reclaim as her own but a weekend in Vegas ends with Blair ghosting Tyrant, and in the ensuing aftermath, more than the MC is looking to reclaim our story line heroine. What ensues is the building relationship between Tyrant and Blair, and the potential fall-out as Blair’s pasts demands our heroine pay for her sins.

The world building focuses on Blair’s escape from her past; her need to take back what she left behind, and the relationship with Tyrant predicated upon a lie.

The relationship between Tyrant and Blair begins on the road. Blair is homeless; on the run; desperate to stay ahead of the people hunting her down. Tyrant suspects there is more to Blair than she lets on, keeping secrets that may threaten their growing relationship. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

We are introduced to several members of the Kings of Carnage MC: MC prez Havoc, SAA Rogue, and Road Captain Creed. Everyone, including the club girls, are welcoming of our story line heroine.

TYRANT is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, family and acceptance. The fast paced, character driven premise is captivating and dramatic; the romance is seductive; the characters are desperate and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 26, 2024

Nothing said Christmas quite like…computer coding?

My up-and-coming gaming company was in the need of a Christmas miracle, and I planned to spend the holidays holed up in a snowy cabin, making that miracle happen.

I hadn’t counted on sharing this secluded winter wonderland with my nemesis, Cole Nichols.

The last thing I need is the sexy tech mogul, intent on buying out my company, to distract me from my goal.

But as the snow piles up outside, I can’t help but wonder if Cole might be the one to make my winter wishes come true….

•••••

REVIEW: MISTLETOE EVER AFTER is the third instalment in Nana Malone’s contemporary, adult THE MISTLETOE romance series. This is twenty-five year old game developers Jamie Reed, and Cole Nichols’ story line. MISTLETOE EVER AFTER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Jamie and Cole) using present day and memories from the past, MISTLETOE EVER AFTER follows Jamie Reed and her struggling game developing company Cyberpunked. With the holidays approaching, Jamie is heading to the small town of Hope, New York where she will come face to face with her brother Matt’s best friend Cole Nichols, but the lodge has overbooked, and Jamie finds herself spending the holidays with our story line hero. Little does Jamie know but Cole Nichols is desperate to acquire Jamie’s company, and Cole will do anything to take down the woman at the top.

The world building follows the best friend’s sister frenemies to lovers. Seven years earlier Jamie and Cole kissed, within days, Cole had ghosted our story line heroine. Fast forward to present day, Cole sees an opportunity to acquire Jamie’s struggling company but all Jamie sees is the potential for failure, failure of her life’s work and dreams.

The relationship between Cole and Jamie is one of mutual attraction but Jamie sees betrayal when she realizes it is Cole’s company taking aim at her life’s work. Cole has never stopped thinking about the woman he kissed seven year earlier but in an effort to keep the peace, Cole must come up with a plan to protect the woman he loves. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate and intense.

There secondary and supporting characters are limited. We are introduced to most via phone calls including acquisitions manager Jake, and Jamie’s head of marketing Becca Long.

MISTLETOE EVER AFTER is a story of betrayal and greed, self esteem and reluctance, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is thought provoking and dramatic; the romance is spicy; the characters are desperate and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 24, 2024

My father is a murderer.

When I stumble upon proof that he’s part of the Division of Silence, I run right into the arms of The Harem Project. It’s fine; that’s where I’d been heading anyway. It’s time to find my husbands.

The truth of the blood on my family’s hands hangs over my head like a shadow. I try to remember as much as I can, thinking that everything has a different meaning than what I’d always thought. I should have seen this sooner. I should have known.

It’s been two years since Silence exterminated ORKA. Two long years of silence, waiting for them to make their move. Finally, the day has come as they unleash horrifying plagues upon the worlds – both human and monster alike. Each new one is far worse than the last, leaving devastation behind as The Harem Project tries to keep up.

My name is Rue and while I know that I don’t wear the blood that my family spilled, it weighs on me to make it right. Even if that means that these few short weeks with my husbands is all that I get before the world as we know it ends in screams, bodies, and blood. I can’t let this be my family legacy.

••••

REVIEW:Is this the final book in the series? I’m afraid to say it is 😔 I’ve loved reading this epic journey. The books can be read out of order, but my advice (opinion) it’s definitely better read in order, as there is an on going story.

A quick rundown of the players in this book/series……

Harem Project (this was created to bring families together. You fill out an extensive application form, giving your likes/dislikes/personal information and everything in between. They then give you a portfolio of families that they think you’ll like, you then meet and discuss, if you fit, you marry and grow as a family.)

ORKA ( this organisation was created to combat the division of silence!)

Division of Silence (this organisation was formed to eradicate monsters from the world!) They deem all monsters to be dangerous!

So….. Ruri or Rue as she now likes to be called found out that her father is a leader in the dreaded organisation!! But why, when they are monsters themselves! But that’s not the best part …. (Nope 🤐) but anyway she runs off to find her husbands and make them aware of what she’s found out…..

And the family that Rue chooses …. The house of Savage (it’s usually the most dominant person that’s the leader, and the family will take that name.)

They are an established unit already…. It’s usually the “wife” that’s the last link that’s missing in the family unit.

We do focus on Calix & Koa a fair bit, but that’s not to say the others aren’t voiced and loved. We get time to interact also with Bryn & Javan, and we get to see them all come together with Rue (all except Koa and we get told why.)

The author put a lot of thought into her chat before and after the story is told. (That one of my favourite things they do in each of the books, in fact all of her books are like that.)

And so the final battle draws near and it’s down to humans against monsters! But as we find out pretty quick, humans are also a casualty and so are the monsters!

It’s fast paced story that doesn’t stop until the last word is read!

The author makes it clear that there won’t be a spin off series (there are just too many characters for that to happen.) and she also makes it clear that this isn’t a RH/why choose where the MFC isn’t the central point in this family! And if you’ve read all the stories, you’ll know that! And I’ve loved that about this series. I’ve grown to love this series (not all the books have been favourites) for that reason. The author makes no apologies for the way she writes them.

There are a few moments that might be triggers (please read the warnings) there are a few moments that made me 😢 the world will definitely change after this last battle….

I’ve loved meeting new monsters, I cheered when we caught up with previous families (they’ve got books in this series.) And I’m definitely on #teammonster in this book. It’s graphic without being gory. It’s spicy without overdoing it. But it shows you that family doesn’t have to be blood related. That even when it’s at its most darkest, there is still that small pinprick of light to show you hope.

I’m going to miss the Harem Project. But it’s on my list to Reread again and again 💜

Crea lives in upstate New York with her dog and husband. She has been writing since grade school, when her second grade teacher had her class keep writing journals. She has a habit of creating secondary, and often time tertiary, characters that take over her stories. All of her RH relationships end up being heavily polyamorous – meaning it’s not just all the men for one woman. There’s also some M/M action going on. When she can’t fall asleep at night, she thinks up new scenes for her characters to act out. This, of course, is how most of her meant-to-be-thrown-away characters tend to end up front and center – and utterly swoon-worthy! Don’t ask her how many book boyfriends she has…

Sometimes, she enjoys crafting; sometimes, exploring nature; sometimes, traveling. Mostly, she enjoys putting her characters on paper and breathing life into them. Oh, and sleeping.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 24, 2024

I was content with being a bachelor, never planned on settling down. Why would I, when every woman in my life, starting with my own mother, always walked out and never looked back.

I liked my strict Army life—all I needed after my deployment was a vacation and time with my dad.

Then it all changed…

One beautiful songwriter.

One chance meeting.

One last first kiss.

One smile.

Her smile.

That was all it took to captivate me and send my world spinning on its axis. After that, I knew I’d never be the same.

*Previously published as Until Her Smile*

•••••••

REVIEW: WHEN I FOUND YOU by Samantha Lind is a contemporary, adult, erotic, romance story line focusing on twenty-eight year old, US Army soldier Peyton, and country music song writer Stacey Evans.

NOTE: WHEN I FOUND YOU is the re-release of UNTIL HER SMILE

Told from dual first person perspectives (Stacey and Peyton) WHEN I FOUND YOU follows the quick building romance and relationship between Stacey and Peyton. US Army Sargeant Peyton just completed a six month tour of Afghanistan, and a night out with friends finds Peyton falling head over heals for country music song writer Stacey Evans but Peyton doesn’t do relationships, having been burned in the past,and struggles with his attraction to our story line heroine. A whirlwind relationship quickly grows into something more when our couple decide to move into together, in an effort to remain close together.

The world building is easy and smooth. There is no internal or external conflict .No outside interference from family, former lovers or friends, the only consideration is Peyton’s return to the US military.

The relationship between Peyton and Stacey is one of immediate attraction. From the outset, their sexual attraction is palpable, and their commitment to one another is instant. The $ex scenes are passionate and provocative.

We are introduced to Peyton’s father Robert, song writer Lee Davidson,country music star Reese Blackwood as well as the return of Cam and Ethan (THEN YOU CAME ALONG #1), and Holly and Carson.

WHEN I FOUND YOU is a story of insta-lust and love; family and friendships, relationships and love. The premise is captivating and entertaining; the romance is seductive; the characters are charismatic and almost perfect-no negative attitudes or behavior.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 25,2024

Letting him in means telling the truth…

KITTY

Crazy. Chaotic. and Carefree.
That’s how I presented and seemed at the signing.
No wonder he fell for me,
Wanted me;
I was the perfect package.

But now, back home, in the real world,
I can’t pretend to be that girl.
My life isn’t as it seems,
There are demons from my past,
Secrets that I hid,
Stories I never told.
Now, Malachi wants answers,
Truths that I can’t admit.

We may be heading to MMM25,
Yet he can’t come, can’t know the reality.
It’s all fun and games,
When it’s Motorcycles, Mobsters, and Mayhem.
But this is my life,
And I’m used to RUNNING ALONE.

••••••••••

REVIEW:  RUNNING ALONE by DM Earl is a contemporary,adult,romantic suspense story set in the author’s DEVIL’S HANDMAIDENS MC, a part of the multi-authored MAYHEM MAKERS-MMM series originally focusing on the fictional Motorcycles, Mobsters and Mayhem author’s book signing blending fact with fiction as many of the participating authors in the series have cameos including DM Earl.

Approximately eighteen months earlier, several members of the Devil’s Handmaidens MC spent a weekend at the Motorcycles, Mobsters and Mayhem author’s books signing convention in Texas,where each would meet their potential futures including our story line couple but months would pass, and Ruby and Malachi’s relationship takes a back seat to distance and time. Fast forward to present day Malachi, and his associates Freddie, Nova and Jude are heading to Timber-Ghost, Montana,and Malachi is hoping to take time for their struggling relationship but the Thunder Cloud Knuckle Brotherhood has reappeared, taking aim at our story line couple.

The world building focuses on the building but struggling relationship between our story line couple, as well as perceived betrayal: extortion; and dysfunctional family dynamics.

The relationship between Malachi and Ruby started approximately eighteen months earlier but time, responsibilities and distance threatened any permanence. Hoping to reconnect with our story line heroine, Malachi takes his time to seduce the woman with whom he has fallen in love but Malachi has secrets, secrets that may threatening any future with Ruby.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 21, 2024

There was a time when it felt like I had it all.
The grades, the friends, and the girl next door.
Her being my best friend’s little sister almost made it easier to hide our relationship.
But as they say, good things never last.

When tragedy strikes and our worlds are irrevocably changed, nothing can be the same between us. Our lives are torn in different directions, and for thirteen years, the only way Bea and I communicated was via email.

With my knowledge of tech and with no sense of care or duty for anything anymore, I found myself drawn to the Defiance MC. The club filled a dark void within me, though not entirely.

Then, one night, after years of no verbal contact, I received a phone call from Bea—the woman who broke my heart—and she was belligerently drunk. Her health and wellness app had been hacked. She was desperately begging for my help.

There was no choice. It didn’t matter that the thought of seeing her terrified me. What I wasn’t ready for was the chaos bringing her back into my life would cause. Or how the magnitude of our enemies would be greater than we could ever have anticipated.

•••••

REVIEW: SUSPICIOUS is the fourth instalment in KE Osborn’s contemporary, adult LA DEFIANCE MC erotic, MC romance series, a spin off from the author’s NOLA Defiance MC, sent in the author’s Defiance worlds. This is Alex ‘Loki’ Grimes, and Beatrice ‘Bea’ Underwood’s story line. SUSPICIOUS 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 including graphic violence, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Loki and Bea) SUSPICIOUS follows the second chance relationship between our story line couple. Thirteen years earlier, Alex Grime’s life imploded, then his secret girlfriend, Beatrice Underwood, left him behind at her parent’s demands. Fast forward to present day wherein, Beatrice Underwood has developed a health and wellness app, and someone is hacked the app, blackmailing our heroine in the process. Desperate for help, Bea contacts the only man she believes can help , the man whose heart she broke years before. Enter Alex ‘Loki’ Grimes. Loki struggles with the return of the only woman he has ever loved but Bea is desperate, and the fall-out will destroy too many lives. What ensues is the rebuilding but forbidden romance and relationship between Bea and Loki, and the potential fall-out when the LA Defiance MC discover the who, how and why of Bea’s hacked app.

The world building follows several paths including the rekindling romance between Bea and Loki; betrayal from within by one of their own; the power of forgiveness and acceptance; the revenge aimed at the innocent and broken.

The relationship between Bea and Loki is one of second chances. Loki has never stopped loving our story line heroine but Bea left at a time when Loki needed her the most, and the ensuing spiral left Loki struggling with a direction in life. Bea never forgave herself for walking away but leaving Loki was never what she had intended. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of charismatic secondary and supporting characters many of whom we met in the previous story lines as well as Loki’s best friend, and Bea’s brother Theo.

SUSPICIOUS is am enemies to lovers story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, murder and mayhem, forgiveness and love .The character driven premise is captivating and emotional with some dark elements; the romance is seductive; the characters are dynamic, determined and resolute.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 22, 2024

Romance author Riley Cooper always dreamed of living by the water. But within a day of landing in the charming seaside town of Port Stewart to work on her latest book, she’s getting calls and texts for some dude on her new number. Weird ones. Sad ones. Sexy ones. Ones that make her want to meet him. For curiosity’s sake…if nothing else.

After years of being on-again, off-again with his high school sweetheart, all Connor wants is to move on with his life. If only everyone in Port Stewart would let him. What he needs is to be seen with someone else. So when fate puts him in the path of the new girl in town who got his old number, faking it together seems like the perfect solution.

Spending time with the gorgeous former prom king might be great research for Riley’s romance writing…if only she can keep her feelings in check. But the more she gets to know him, the harder she’s falling. Can their serendipitous meeting turn into something real and true?

••••

REVIEW:TEXT APPEAL is the first instalment in Kylie Scott’s contemporary, adult PORT STEWART erotic, romance series. This is romance author Riley Cooper, and mechanic Connor’s story line.

Told from first person perspective (Riley) TEXT APPEAL follows romance author Riley Cooper as she struggles to write her latest book but a new phone number finds Riley on the receiving end of a number of texts for someone called Connor, texts that pique her interest in the intended recipient. Within days, the small town gossip mill of Port Stewart begins tracking down Riley Cooper, a potential suitor for our story line hero, a woman who is seen a competition for the heart of Connor. Connor’s ex girlfriend Ava is coming home, and Connor wants nothing to do with the woman who broke his heart. Along with his family, the town of Port Stewart prepares a welcome home party in the hopes of pushing the former couple together but Connor has moved on, and makes Riley an offer for the foreseeable future: a fake relationship to keep his family at bay, and Ava towards another path on her own. What ensues is the building but fake relationship between Riley and Connor, and the potential fall-out when their time together comes to a close.

The world building focuses on Connor’s extended family and their refusal to accept that Connor and Ava are no more. From his mother’s desperate attempts to push the couple back together, to his grandmother’s fierce protectiveness over our story line heroine, the meddling people of Port Stewart can’t leave well enough alone.

The relationship between Riley and Connor is a fake relationship predicated upon secrets and lies. Connor’s long suffering, on / off relationship with Ava ended several months earlier but throughout the story everyone including Connor refuse to let go of the past. As Connor struggles to stand his ground against his family and the residents of Port Stewart, Riley finds herself the unintended target of the pushy but well meaning people in Connor’s life. As Connor and Riley’s relationship begins to grow, Riley struggles to keep her heart from getting involved. The $ex scenes are passionate and seductive.

There is a large ensemble cast of interesting and quirky secondary and supporting characters: including Connor’s mother Denise, grandmother Martha, brother Stuart, and ex girlfriend Ava.

TEXT APPEAL is a story of secrets and lies, family and friendships, relationships and love. The premise is captivating and entertaining; the romance is awkward yet enticing; the characters are desperate and dynamic but Connor’s behavior and lack of excitement regarding our story line heroine is questionable-I didn’t feel any palpable sexual attraction-the relationships definitely appeared one-sided.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 21,2024

My mother always gave the best advice. I just wish she had advised me to stay away from bull riders.

One in particular.

Connor Bennett is a walking red flag I could see coming from miles away, but I was a sucker for his rakish smile, his irresistible charm, and that world class behind always wrapped in a tight pair of Wranglers.

I told myself I’d learned my lesson when I woke up and discovered he ghosted me, leaving a note behind on the pillow where his head should have been. Unfortunately, that wasn’t true.

High emotions and too much booze during a mutual friend’s wedding lands me back in his bed, but this time I make sure I’m not the one left high and dry once the sun comes up.

Even though I can’t stop thinking about him, I convince myself I’ve worked him out of my system. However, two pink lines a few weeks later make it impossible to pretend he doesn’t exist.

We make an agreement. We’ll co-parent once the baby is born, but nothing more.

There certainly won’t be any more hanky panky.

But it turns out Connor has other ideas and wants to share more than just custody with me.

I’m trying so hard not to fall for that charm a second time, but my hormones are going crazy and he’s doing and saying all the right things.

Despite all reason, I find myself wanting to get tangled up with him all over again. I just don’t know if I should trust the bull rider not to trample all over my heart.

•••••

REVIEW:Tangled Up With You by the ever lovely and talented Jessica Prince is the next installment in Second Hope series. As always, I recommend reading the series in order, not only because it is amazing, but there are characters from that book that filter into this one. (It can be read as a standalone) This lovely little morsel of a book has all my favorite tropes; cowboy bull riding play boy turns heart of gold and small town romance. TUWY is a feel good romance that readers are going to love.

Hope Valley holds a special place in my heart, so when the series ended and Second Hope arrived, I was over the moon. Book one in the series (The Little Things) was the balm to heal the sting of the first series ending, Tangled Up, is the icing on the cake. Connor and Ivy are mentioned in book one, and from there I couldn’t wait to get their story.

Connor Bennet is a bull rider, after taking a tumble on one of his last rides, he messes up his knee and has to take some time off to heal. During this time, he goes to stay with his best friend Zach on his ranch in Virginia. During this time, he finds his place at Safe Haven Ranch, a quiet, homey place that gives him a peace he had never felt. He also meets Ivy. The fiery red head that takes his breath away. He spends time there, and he and Ivy get to know one another, she doesn’t treat him like the bull riding hot shot he is, they become friends, and then they spend hell of a night together. Too bad he does one of the dumbest things ever and skates out in the middle of the night, leaving Ivy high and dry.

Ivy is living her best life, she has a great family, amazing friends and a job she loves. When Connor comes rolling into town, she sees him as a confident, bull riding playboy, and against all her rules, hops into bed with him. When her worst fears come to light the next morning with an empty bed, she is cursing herself silly. She thought they had something more than a simple hook up. Determined to move on, Ivy avoids Connor like the plague when he returns for Zack and Rae’s wedding, but as they say, weddings make people sappy. One thing leads to another and Connor and Ivy are at it again.

When an unexpected surprise takes both Ivy and Connor by surprise, they both have to suck up their insecurities and talk. Slowly Connor makes it back into Ivy’s good graces, determined to make it up to her, and prove that he can be what she needs. Ivy knows that Connor is a good man, but is scared to open up to him again after last time, but with time (sexy time too) Connor proves to Ivy just how much she means to him.

Well tickle me pink Ms.JP I think this might be your saucest book yet! Connor and Ivy are a fun, slow burn romance that really gave me such joy to read. The spicy bits are definitely top tier. Connor is by far one of my favorite characters from this new series, he is sweet and charming, but protective and dominant. Don’t get me started on the rope play and dirty talk because I could go on for days about that. Towards the end, when the plot is finishing up, we get to see a softer side of Connor and the way the Ivy cares for him during that time, this made the book so relatable. I can’t wait to see what else the series has in store for us. (Hopefully something with Blythe?)

Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That’s why God created central air, after all.

Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy–she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says.

In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books–romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it’s a passion…there’s a difference. Not that she’d expect a boy to understand.

Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.
