ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 21, 2024

My brother’s girl… that’s all Sutton will ever be to me.

I can’t touch her. I can’t want her. I can’t have her. I can’t love her. But I do.

I’m in love with my brother’s girl… and now my life is pure torment.

My brother Rafe and I are twins. Fraternal, but we look so much alike most people think we’re identical. Our father, Wolf, had a hell of a time raising us. We were a handful. Growing up, we fought over everything. That all ended the night I almost lost my brother. Since that horrible night, everything has changed.

Now I let him win. Every single time.

Tonight, when we both meet the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen, it’s harder than it’s ever been to bow out. I’ll do it though, because I’ll forever feel guilty it was him in that alley that night and not me. It was just bad luck, everyone tells me.

But tonight—this one decision—changes everything. Now she’s his girl.

But I remember the smile she gave me when we first met, and how in that split second, if I’d done things differently, she could have been my girl.

But she’s not. Now she’s my brother’s girl. And I’m in love with her.

REVIEW:KYLE is the sixth instalment in Nicole James’ contemporary, adult SINS OF THE FATHER: EVIL DEAD MC-Second Generation erotic, MC romance series- a spin off from the author’s Evil Dead MC series. This is Kyle and Sutton’s story line. KYLE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Kyle is Wolf and Crystal’s son (WOLF: Evil Dead MC 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 (Kyle and Sutton) KYLE follows the building relationship between our story line couple. Months earlier Kyle met our story line heroine but his twin brother Rafe swooped in and walked away with the girl. Fast forward to present day, Kyle continues to lust after his brother’s girlfriend but when Rafe asks Kyle for another favor, our hero finds himself working side by side with the woman he loves. Owning and operating a successful food truck places Kyle in the spotlight, but his attraction to his brother’s girlfriend continues to grow. Meanwhile, the club’s lawyer is dead, and his wife suspects her husband was murdered, and wants the Evil Dead MC to track down his killer. What ensues is the building attraction between Kyle and Sutton, and the potential fall-out as our heroine refuses to come between brothers, fearing she will lose both in the end.

The world building primarily focuses on Kyle and Sutton, and Kyle’s burgeoning food truck business. As Kyle’s success grow, he finds himself considering a more permanent option, hopefully with the woman he loves by his side. The conflict is minimal, the resolution is smooth and without any major difficulty.

The relationship between Kyle and Sutton is one of immediate attraction but Sutton is Rafe’s girlfriend, a position Sutton believes is temporary then gone. Kyle struggles to keep his distance but working side by side pushes Sutton to take charge of everyone’s future. The $ex scenes are limited but intimate and passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of familiar, colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including several members of the Evil Dead MC: Billy, TJ, Rafe, Marcus, Reckless, as well as the OG. We are introduced to Joselyn Silver, and several social media influencers.

KYLE is a story of obsession and lust, secrets and guilt, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is inviting but focuses mainly on the growing relationship between Kyle and Sutton, and Kyle’s successful food truck business-the search for a killer is limited although information obtained could be used for a future storyline. The characters are determined and spirited; the romance is tender and heart warming.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 19, 2024

A vampire master who will bring the battle to an end.
A dark-haired beauty who willfully disobeys.
When all is done, will he be able to save the treasure and protect the girl?

One lone traitor left, and the bloodthirsty war between the rogues and master vampires will be over.

As long as Taylen, the seductive vampire who destiny has thrown into my path, does as she’s told.

The purebloods will find the enemy and make him pay for the onslaught of betrayal he has brought to our door. Of that there is no doubt.

But when our disloyal enemy captures Taylen, keeping him away from the sacred vampire treasure proves more difficult than it should.

He will learn the hard way that no one takes from the vampire masters. Not the gold, and more importantly, not Taylen, the treasure I’ve already decided will be mine for eternity.

Master Slobozia is the explosive twelfth book in the Masters of the Consulate series by Sylvia Black. It is a deliciously dark, fated mates, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, vampire romance. You will love these novels where the passion is fiery, the loyalty is fierce, and the stakes are high. Each book in this collection is a stand-alone, with different couples and a guaranteed happily ever after.

•••••••••••

REVIEW: MASTER SLOBOZIA is the twelfth instalment in Sylvia Black’s contemporary, adult MASTERS OF THE CONSULATE erotic, paranormal, romance series. This is pureblood vampire Master Slobozia, and witch Taylen’s story line. MASTER SLOBOZIA can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion, I recommend reading the series in order as there is an ongoing premise throughout, and many of the previous story line characters and couples play a significant role.

SOME BACKGROUND: One of their own has formed an army of rogue vampires, taking aim at the members of the Consulate and their fated mates. With the forced help of the shifters, the rogue leader wants the ultimate power, and in an effort to achieve their position, takes aim at the vampires, their mates, and the coven of witches. The witches and vampires are enemies, and have long fought against one another throughout time.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Taylen and Slobozia) MASTER SLOBOZIA is the culmination of several story lines focusing on the hunt for a rogue vampire who has betrayed the members of the Consulate. As the search enters Master Slobozia’s European territory, Slobozia struggles with the arrival of the witches, many of whom are the mates to his fellow pureblood vampires but one witch in particular has upset our story line hero to the point of anger and questionable behavior. Enter witch Taylen, the woman with whom Slobozia will fall in love. Taylen is a witch with aspirations of becoming a member of the Consulate’s group of Warriors but her affiliation and relationship with Slobozia may become a hindrance to her acceptance in the face of perceived favoritism and a possible conflict of interest. As the hunt for the betrayer comes to a close, another familiar face is determined to continue the fight for power.

Once again, the world building focuses on the hunt and take down of a vampire who is determined to reset the status quo but the rogue vampire now has a hostage, a witch who finds herself caught between power and love.

The relationship between Slobozia and Taylen begins acrimoniously as Slobozia is the lone member of the Consulate who has yet to find his mate, and the arrival of Taylen, an enemy of the vampires, forces Slobozia to reconsider his stand against the group of witches. Slobozia suspects Taylen is his mate but his prior treatment of Taylen leaves a bad taste in the mouth of everyone involved. The $ex scenes are seductive and impassioned.

Most of the previous story line Masters and their mates return as the Consulate members must prepare for battle against one of their own, as well as heart broken witch Embry; and special ops vampire Silver, and the introduction of Lord Corvinus, Master Slobozia’s right hand man.

MASTER SLOBOZIA is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, hatred and forgiveness, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is entertaining but the conflict resolution was too easy and too quick with very little action and limited interaction. The characters are determined; the romance is fated and captivating.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 17, 2024

I’m trapped by a beautiful psychopath.
A devil with a soul as black as his heart.
Mal Ulstäd is seductive brutality wrapped in sinister allure.
And he knows what I did.
He knows my family destroyed his.
Now he won’t stop, no matter how fast or how far I run.
They say fairytales are just pretend.
But monsters?
Those are real.
And they never, ever let go…

•••••

REVIEW: EMPEROR OF RAGE is the second instalment in Jagger Cole’s contemporary, adult MEMENTO MORI dark, erotic, Mafia romance series set in the author’s Venomous Gods world. This is Mal Ulstad, and twenty-six year old IT hacker Freya Holm’s story line. EMPEROR OF RAGE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for cohesion. Most of the events of Emperor of Rage cross over with, and run parallel to the events of book one Emperor of Wrath.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including ‘consensual non-consent’, and graphic violence, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Freya and Mal) EMPEROR OF RAGE focuses on the enemies to lovers relationship between Mal Ulstad, and twenty-six year old IT hacker Freya Holm. Freya Holm was looking for some dark web information for Kir Nikolayev but stumbling into what she thought was a vacant building was about to change her life forever. Having witnessed the murder of several men, Freya finds herself at the mercy of the killer, a man with connections to the darkest of the dark. Enter Mal Ulstad who is about to control every aspect of our heroine’s life but the past refuses to go quietly and Mal will discover a connection between Freya, her boss and mentor Kir, and the life he once knew. As Mal holds the power in his relationship with Freya, someone else is taking aim at our story line couple.

The world building is multi-layered and intricate as the events of the previous story line become a significant part of the current timeline. Mal Ulstad is desperate to uncover the truth about our story line heroine, a truth that will set Mal on a journey of revenge and pain.

The relationship between Mal and Freya begins as enemies when Freya witnesses Mal killing several men with ties to the Russian Bratva, killings Mal invokes in vengeance for sins of the past. Controlling Freya, and discovering the truth, sets a plan into motion that will threaten the tentative peace between our story line couple, pushing Freya out of his life and into the world that is attempting to destroy our story line hero. The $ex scenes are aggressive, forceful and not without some scenes of questionable consent. As the series progresses, the heroes’ aggression and anger towards the heroine, is not without some controversy and dubious behavior.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of dynamic, interesting and powerful secondary and supporting characters including Freya’s friends Damian Nikilayev, Annika and Kenzo (Emperor of Wrath); their father-figure and head of the Nikolayev Bratva Kir Nikolayev; Kenzo’s siblings Takeshi and Hana.

EMPEROR OF RAGE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, power and control, murder and retribution, family and relationships, acceptance and love. Like the first instalment, the character driven premise is dark, dramatic and raw; the romance is provocative but struggles with the early control and behavior of a man bent on revenge; the characters are broken, embattled and charismatic.

Nothing comes without a price. Not life. Not death. Not fate.

Lake

Living on the run is never easy. Everywhere I turn, an enemy is striking out at me. I don’t know who to trust or why they’re after me. I’ve been hunted for as long as I can remember, living on the edge of my seat, waiting for the next shoe to drop.

Until I found myself in the town of Redwich. There’s something about this place that speaks to me. It’s different, and I love it. I feel safe here, like I can finally settle. But then it’s all ripped away from me.

Secrets are revealed in a big way I didn’t expect, and I’m not sure I want to pay the heavy price of what’s coming for me.

But meeting Tucker changes it all.

Fate has a wicked sense of humor and isn’t done striking me down. It’s a curse that only one man can save me from.

•••••

REVIEW:TUCKER’S STRIKE is the second instalment in EC Land’s contemporary, adult SPIKED RAIDERS paranormal, MC romance series. This is tiger shifter Tucker, and Lake Wildthorn’s story line. TUCKER’S STRIKE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from several first person perspectives (Tucker ,Lake, Callum) TUCKER’S STRIKE follows Lake Wildthorn as she struggles to in the wake of her father’s death. From a young age, Lake has always known she was different but the death of her father and his brothers, all tiger shifters, left Lake on her own until she discovers the small town of Redwich, a town inhabited by the supernatural. Tucker is a tiger shifter and knows his fated mate is near and in trouble. Claiming Lake will not be easy but what follows Lake may be hard to take down. What ensues is the quick building relationship between Lake and Tucker, and the potential fall-out as something else is determined to claim Lake as his own.

The world building is fast and detailed. We learn of the existence of the dragons, the Drakon King, the Fae world, and its’ connections to our story line heroine, and the possibility that fate has more in store for our story line couple.

The relationship between Lake and Tucker is fated by magic. Tigers rarely find their fated mate yet the Goddess has forewarned of Lake and Tucker’s mating. Tucker is determined to protect the woman with whom he will fall in love but Tucker must claim Lake before the dragons arrive. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

There is a large ensemble cast of magical and powerful secondary and supporting characters including shifters, Fae, nymph, dragons, witches and vampires.

TUCKER’S STRIKE is a story of power and control, magic and murder, secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is detailed and enchanting; the romance is fated and seductive; the characters are magical and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 15, 2024

Sway

One fateful night, Sway’s life took a dark turn when her brother was tragically killed. Fueled by grief and a burning desire for revenge, she sets out on a path of vengeance, determined to uncover the truth behind her brother’s death. She finds herself encountering a man with striking good looks and piercing green eyes.

Despite her determination to stay focused on her brothers death, she can’t help but be drawn to this dangerous man who seems to keep crossing her path. His presence is a distraction, but Sway refuses to let anything or anyone deter her from seeking justice for her brother.

When thugs target her business, leaving her wounded and terrified, Sway realizes that she can’t face this danger alone. In a moment of desperation, she makes the decision to reach out to the dangerous man with the green eyes, hoping that he can provide the protection she needs.

But as she becomes entangled with Vicious and the Royal Bastards MC, Sway finds herself caught in a web of emotion she wasn’t prepared for.

Will her decision to become involved with Vicious lead to even more chaos and violence? Or will he prove to be the one person who can keep her safe amidst the storm of darkness closing in around her?

Vicious

Vicious may not fit the conventional definition of a “good man” in the eyes of society, but perhaps there’s more to him than meets the eye. While he may be ruthless and uncompromising in his actions as the VP of the Royal Bastards MC, there’s a side to him that few ever see—a side driven by loyalty, protectiveness, and a fierce sense of justice.

When Sway is kidnapped, Vicious’s primal instincts kick in. He leaves a trail of blood and chaos in his wake as he tears through the streets of Old Town, fueled by a single-minded determination to find her. Nothing and no one will stand in his way when it comes to rescuing the woman he sees as his own.

Despite his reputation Vicious’s actions speak volumes about the depth of his feelings for Sway. In her, he sees something worth fighting for, worth risking everything for. And as he races against time to save her, he proves that beneath his rough exterior lies a man capable of great sacrifice and unwavering devotion.

REVIEW:HELL BENT is the first instalment in Roux Cantrell’s contemporary, adult RBMC:MONTREAL CHAPTER dark, erotic, MC romance series set in the multi-authored RBMC world. This is RBMC: Montreal VP Mason ‘Vicious’ Lapointe, and twenty-seven auto mechanic Sabine ‘Sway’ Roussin’s story line.

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

Told from several omniscient third person perspectives including Vicious and Sway HELL BENT follows in the wake of the death of Sway’s brother Tesh. Tesh Roussin was beaten to death, and in the aftermath Sway made it her mission to uncover the truth but Sway never expected to come face to face with RBMC: Montreal VP Vicious Lapointe, the man with whom Sway will fall in love.As Sway continues to follow the clues including the possibility of involvement by the RBMC, information comes forward from a questionable source, information that places our heroine in the direct line of fire.

The world building follows several paths:the building romance and relationship between our story line couple; the friction between Vicious, and the MC president Teller; a potential war on the horizon with the Bloody Scorpions; the possibility of betrayal from within; and the search for the people responsible for the death of Tesh Roussin.

The relationship between Sway and Vicious begins as Sway struggles to come to terms with her brother’s death. Threats to her life and her livelihood bring Sway up close and personal with our story line hero, a man who is willing to die to protect the woman he loves but Sway has pissed off some powerful people, and will pay the price for uncovering the truth.

We are introduced to several members of the RBMC: Montreal including their new club prez Teller, a man who wants to make changes, and continues to butt heads with our story line hero, as well as Tail Gunner Player, Road Captain Joker, club medic Razor, and Sway’s best friend Lottie. There is something developing between Razor and Lottie. The requisite evil has many faces.

HELL BENT is a story of betrayal and vengeance ; secrets and lies; obsession and madness; acceptance and love. The premise is dramatic, dark and emotional; the romance is provocative; the characters are determined and charismatic.My only complaint is there is more telling than showing…and in this I felt a little bit disconnected.

Heed the trigger warnings

The rules were simple:
Go to Vegas and get a feel for the place before you start the real work in a week.
Under no circumstances are we supposed to get involved with a case.
Yet after less than a week in town, I find myself married to a woman I don’t know because she got herself tangled up with some really bad guys.
It was meant to be a rescue, a problem easily solved, but as it turns out, life never works the way you think it will.
The contract Kaylee signed demands two years of service before she’s able to make another move.
With the threat of harm to those she loves, it’s up to me, and the other men of this brand new Las Vegas chapter of the Cerberus MC to figure out how to get her, and the other women these men have trapped, to safety.
As the days drag by, I find myself thinking that maybe being married isn’t so bad.
Only, it’s obvious that Kaylee doesn’t feel the same way.
How can I possibly make my wife see that being married to me isn’t all that bad?

•••••••••

REVIEW: HEATHEN : A Very Cerberus Halloween is the first instalment in Marie James’ contemporary, an adult CERBERUS MC: LAS VEGAS MC romantic suspense series focusing on the members of the Cerberus MC- all former members of the US Marines. Cerberus MC: Las Vegas is a spin off set in the author’s Cerberus MC world. This is thirty year old, former US Marine Ellis ‘Heathen’ Burke, and twenty-six grocery store clerk year old Kaylee Rhodes’ story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Kaylee and Heathen) HEATHEN follows in the wake of the Cerberus MC setting up a new chapter in Las Vegas. Ellis ‘Heathen ‘ Burke is one of several Cerberus MC members to be assigned to Las Vegas  in their endeavour to hunt down human traffickers but Heathen never expected the first woman he met to fall victim to the very people he is fighting to take down. Marrying Kaylee to protect her life, Heathen must face the men of Cerberus MC, in the hopes of uncovering the people responsible.

The world building focuses on the start up of the Las Vegas chapter of the Cerberus MC, and their first foray into taking down a human trafficking ring selling Russian brides, and one home grown American woman who made herself a target of some powerful men. A little TSTL (Too stupid to live) Kaylee walked into trouble wherever she went, bringing with it trouble to the Cerberus MC.

The relationship between Heathen and Kaylee begins when Heathen suspects Kaylee is in trouble. Heathen had previously met Kaylee at her job but finding Haylee’s car at a suspicious warehouse eventually brought the wrath of the Cerberus MC to their door. Marrying Haylee to keep her safe meant bringing facing the MC he would soon call brothers but marrying Haylee would be questioned by all. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate.

We are introduced to the new members for the Las Vegas Chapter of the Cerberus MC (Twisted, Bandera, Rooster) ,as well as the return of some of the original brothers (Kincaid and Dominic). We are introduced to Haylee’s best friend Morgan.

HEATHEN is a story of new beginning and friendships, power and control, betrayal and madness, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is haunting; the romance is slow building and guarded ; the characters are determined and spirited but Kaylee Burke’s behavior was often questionable in the face of what was happening and why.

As to the ‘Halloween’ aspect of the story line-it is limited and almost non-existent.

REVIEW:THE DEALS WE MAKE is the ninth instalment in S. Cole’s contemporary, adult IRON OUTLAWS MC erotic, MC romance series. This is thirty-three year old cyber security specialist and owner Calista Moray, and Iron Outlaws MC IT specialist Tiberius ‘Vex’ Williams’ story line. THE DEALS WE MAKE 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 may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ves and Calista) THE DEALS WE MAKE follows the second chance relationship between our story line couple. Tiberius ‘Vex’ Williams and Calista Moray were childhood friends and neighbors; computer nerds and hackers until the day Calista found herself on the receiving end of threats, blaming our hero for what was to come. Fast forward fifteen years, Calista is now the CEO of her own cybersecurity firm, and has returned home to New Jersey to garner a security contract with a local company but her return home comes with too many memories of the past, and the reality of her mother’s mental decline. Accepting help from Tiberius threatens Calista’s need for privacy and independence but Calista has a stalker, and Tiberius is determined to protect the woman he loves. What ensues is the building but tempestuous relationship between Tiberius aka Vex, and Calista, and the potential fall-out as Calista’s time in New Jersey comes to a close.

The world building follows several interconnected pathways including the rebuilding relationship between Vex and Calista; Calista’s mother’s mental decline; Vex and Calista’s history; her reasons for running; Vex’s introduction to the Iron Outlaws MC ,and more than one potential stalker for our story line couple.

The relationship between Vex and Calista is one of second chances. A friends to enemies to frenemies to lovers in which Calista struggles to forgive the man she blames for the sins of the past, and ultimately her love for the man who continues to control her heart. Vex never knew the reason or the truth behind Calista’s need to run but rekindling their relationship means a second chance with the woman with whom he is falling in love. The $ex scenes are intimate and impassioned including Shibari rope play.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and familiar secondary and supporting characters including most of the previous story line couples. The next generation continues to grow with pregnancy and births, marriages and love. The requisite evil has many faces.

THE DEALS WE MAKE is a story of betrayal, obsession and revenge; secrets and lies, family and relationships, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is edgy and dramatic; the characters are brooding, broken, and haunted; the romance is spicy and sensitive.

The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy. Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada where I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.

I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I’m getting the chance to follow that dream.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 15, 2024

I should have known everything was going to change when she walked into my tattoo shop…
Timid as hell and gorgeous to the extreme. I knew better than even thinking about touching a woman like that.

My life is dangerous.
My calling wicked.
Willing to cross any line to protect the innocent.

I thought I’d never see her again until my little boy tumbled and busted his lip, and I found her working at the doctor’s office.
The woman who’d taken possession of my thoughts.
When it becomes clear she’s in trouble, I offer up a deal.

Twenty questions to earn her trust.
Too bad trusting me is the last thing she should do.
With one kiss, I’m addicted. With one night, we’re falling into a passion greater than either of us has ever known.

The voices in my head warn I can never keep her. She can’t know the secret life I lead.
Only she’s keeping a secret, too.
And I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe, even if it means losing everything…

REVIEW:📚 From the author that brought us the masterpiece series that is Redemption Hill; A.L Jackson’s newest series is sure to be her best one yet.

From Here to Eternity is the first installment of her newest series; Moonlit Ridge, and all I can say is that it had me hooked from chapter one.

So much angst! The emotion in this book is truly what struck me the most, you could feel it coming off the pages from the characters as the plot unfolded. You truly could “cut the tension with a knife”

Charleigh has a dark past, one she is still running, one that if she stops to think about may consume her soul, one that no matter what she does always causes her to run again. Her life is grief, loneliness and fear, so much fear. Living under an assumed name, never staying anywhere too long, giving up so much of her life, only to live in constant fear. Until she settles into the smalltown of Moonlit Ridge. After settling in at her newest job, she finally acts on her deepest thoughts of getting a special tattoo. This is where she has her world tossed on its axis and meets River; the tattoo artist.

River is rough and tough, somewhat grumpy, single Dad. He has a thriving tattoo business with a years-long waitlist, a sister that he loves, a little boy that thinks the world of him, and a group of guys that may not be his blood brothers, but they are forged together by something more than that. All these things he will die and kill to protect, River is the definition of a morally gray hero. When Charleigh enters his shop, her presence strikes something so deep in his soul that he doesn’t know what to do, he is thunderstruck. When she tells him she wants a tattoo, and then shows him the design she wants, it’s that moment that (i think) their story really starts.

For what is being said is a slow burn romance, it sure didn’t feel like one. River and Charleigh have such a visceral, emotional connection that everytime they are together it feels like it’s the first time (as a reader). River is slow to earn Charleigh’s trust, but I think with the help of little Nolan and Raven, they bring her back into the light of happiness and hope. River has his own secret, (no spoilers!) one that he thinks will make Charleigh think twice about him, but it just makes him a better MMC. River is big, protective, and dangerous, but not to those that mean something to him, and think because of this, Charleigh learns to love.

These two are by far one of the best couples I have experienced, I very much wish I could read this book again for the first time. Having kids in romance books is a fav of mine, Nolan was as sweet as could be, and the later getting that big surprise was a “Holy Moly” moment, seeing a few past characters from Redemption Hills was also so awesome, knowing that they have a connect to the new guys is kind of like a little spoiler. All I can say for this book is that I screamed, I cried, I cursed, I smiled and I ended it happier than when I started it, thank you to Ms. Author for the experience.
