ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 14, 2024

Arranged-marriage, age-gap, Mafia/cartel romance, forbidden

Due to my birth order as child of the capo of the Luciano famiglia, I’m used to second place.
Second son.
Second in standing.
Never number one.
It’s the way my life has always been.
Only in the dark alleys, private clubs, and seedy establishments am I respected. Not just as the consigliere to my brother, the new capo of the Kansas City Famiglia, but also for my unmatched skills with a knife and my particular skills of interrogation. This status is as high as I will achieve. First place will forever be out of reach.

Camila Ruiz is the youngest daughter of Andres Ruiz, a top lieutenant in the Roríguez cartel. From the first moment I laid eyes on her, I knew I wanted her. She is too young and fragile to be with a man like me, a killer and criminal. I don’t deserve a woman like Camila. Taking her would be to ruin her.

With the newly established alliance between the Luciano famiglia and Roríguez cartel, I ask for the impossible and promise my life. With the blessing of my capo and the Roríguez drug lord, Camila is to be mine.

For once, I will be first in another’s eyes. And Camila will always be first to me.

What happens when the fragile alliance is tested?
Can I keep my promise to my wife and my oath to the famiglia?

REVIEW: BOUND BY A PROMISE is the third instalment in Aleatha Romig’s contemporary, adult BRUTAL VOWS erotic,Mafia romance series. This is thirty-three year old, consigliere to the head of the Kansas City Famiglia Dante Luciano, and twenty-year old, cartel princess Camila Ruiz story line. BOUND BY A PROMISE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Some of the events of BOUND BY A PROMISE run parallel to, and cross over with books one and two.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Camila and Dante) BOUND BY A PROMISE follows the forbidden relationship between our story line couple. Dante and Camila met approximately one year earlier at the marriage of their siblings Catalina and Dario. Fast forward to present day, an attack against the Ruiz compound finds Camila, along with her mother safely ensconced at the Luciano home where Camila and Dante would act upon their mutual attraction but Camila will quickly discover that her parents have plans for her future, plans that do not include our story line hero. A quick wedding ceremony, and an attack by an unknown enemy finds Camila wondering if she brought a war to the Luciano’s door. As the two families come together to ferret out the truth, Camila finds herself falling for the man who has stolen her heart.

The world building focuses on a possible war between the Mafia, warring cartels, and the Russian Bratva. A fight for power brings danger to the Luciano/Ruiz families, families that are now connected by uniting three powerful couples.

The relationship between Dante and Camila is one of the forbidden. Everyone believes Camila is too young for our story line hero, yet Camila knows Dante is the man who has stolen her heart. Dante is an impassioned lover, a man who is desperate to protect the woman he loves. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of charismatic and energetic secondary and supporting characters, many of whom we met in the previous story lines as both Camila and Dante’s siblings have married one another.We are reintroduced to Camila’s parents Andres and Valentina Ruiz, as well as several members of the Ruiz/ Roriquez cartels.

BOUND BY A PROMISE is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, influence and potential, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The premise is thought provoking, and character driven but not as dark or raw as some other Mafia stories.; the romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are determined, spirited and moving.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 10, 2024

One weekend can change everything.

Caulder

I’ve lived a very quiet life, keeping my deepest secrets close to my chest. I let no one in; not even my closest friends. When I’m invited to participate in the All-Star Games, I’m suddenly forced to share a hotel room, and a single bed, with a stranger. My carefully guarded world starts to come undone when he kisses me, and I can’t get enough.

Now one person shares my secret. It’s a relief, really. But just as I’m starting to fall for Lo Duvall, my world implodes. A woman in Philly claims that we hooked up in a club and she’s carrying my baby. Are we over before we can even begin?

Lo

Anonymous hookups when I’m on the road are how I manage to keep my personal life private. All I want is to play hockey and keep everything else out of the media. That gets more complicated when I meet the gorgeous Caulder Haines.

Three nights of unfiltered fuckery—that’s what we promise each other. Then we’ll go our separate ways. But by the end of the weekend, I haven’t had enough of this amazing defenseman, and don’t want to say goodbye.

I’ve fallen in love with him.

When an aspiring content creator decides to throw a wrench in my very carefully crafted plans, I know I have to do something to save what I’ve only just realized I want.

I can’t lose Caulder. I just found him. But what can I do to keep him?!

This is a LGBTQIA+ story with content not intended for those under 18 years of age due to graphic scenes and situations.

•••••••

REVIEW: Another amazing story in this great series. Crea has created a world I want to live in. Her stories come alive and stay with you long after you read the last page.

Caulder Haines has been in previous books in this series, so I was excited to see where we would go in this story.

One bed, two strangers. Has the recipe for disaster or a delicious night or two of fun.

What with Caulder being a secret gay man (he’s not ashamed, but hockey is first and foremost, life will come after he retires) and Laurent “Lo” also being gay (his hook ups are very controlled) they don’t want anyone to find out and then it becomes a media circus.

A weekend of fun, that was all it was suppose to be. To be able to be themselves. But as the weekend ends, both know it was way more than that! But how can they be together, when they live so far apart? And neither have said they are gay, so that’s something that would need to be said (and both are adamant that their gender preferences would remain quiet until they retired!)

I loved the hockey banter/the contest and catching up with some many previous characters (most have their own books) I also really liked how Lo never made Caulder feel uncomfortable, nor did he ever pressurise him into doing something he wasn’t comfortable with. I cheered as a hockey game was played (been a while since we had a game in the books) and could feel the cold on my cheeks (I do love a descriptive scene) 😊

The spanner in the works happens around (65% into the book)

And it throws both Caulder and Lo into a tailspin! And there is a reason why I don’t believe it was Caulder (but it’s not my secret to tell 🤐)

But how will Caulder explain himself? How will Lo respond to his boyfriend being the father of a baby? I can tell you this, I’d love to have Lo in my corner. He’s so supportive, caring and downright hot (his possessive tone gave me shivers 😜)

This one ranks as possibly my 2nd/3rd favourite in the series. And I absolutely loved it.

Can’t wait for the next book 👍🏻

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…

When not writing, Crea is an avid reader. Her TBR pile is several hundred books high (don’t even look at her kindle wish list or the unread books on her tablet). 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. Crea loves to sleep!

ABOUT THE BOOK:Release Date October 9, 2024

She needs a husband. He won’t let anyone else have her.

Ax Morgan has played many roles in my life: My brother’s best friend. The most notorious member of the Sebastian News Corp executive team. My enemy with benefits.

But my husband?
No thanks.

Our after hours scenes are simply a convenient way for me to blow off steam while I plot my exit from my toxic family’s company.

But when I need a groom so I can claim my inheritance, he presents me with a choice that’s more like blackmail—marry him, or he’ll sabotage me. So between the devil and the deep blue sea, I let the devil put a ring on it.

Turns out this is the role he plays best of all. The worst part of pretending with Ax is how real it’s starting to feel. Now my future is in his hands. And if he finds out what I’m planning, he’ll be the one with the impossible choice. Who loses everything—his best friend or his fake wife?

•••••

REVIEW: BRUTAL BARGAIN is the fourth instalment in Laurelin Paige’s contemporary, adult BRUTAL BILLIONAIRES erotic, romance series. This is thirty-nine year old, President of Programming at Sebastian News Corp Axel Morgan, and thirty-three year old Chief HR Officer Adly Sebastian’s story line. BRUTAL BARGAIN 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 (Axel and Adly) BRUTAL BARGAIN follows the fake marriage / marriage of convenience/ brother’s best friend relationship between our story line couple. Adly, along with Alex Sebastian and Holt Sebastian have plans to purchase their own television network but short of funds, Adly starts look for a suitable husband in an effort to claim her part of the family inheritance. Enter Axel Morgan, Adly’s brother Hunter’s best friend, and a self-proclaimed enemy of our story line heroine. Marrying Axel is only for the short term but when the family believes they have discovered the truth, all bets are off when our couple find themselves facing the future, long term, when betrayal threatens the barely veiled questionable family dynamics.

The world building is meticulous and intricate as we follow Axel and Adly down the proverbial rabbit hole as they struggle between head and heart knowing their marriage vows are only temporary. With her inheritance in hand, Adly is hoping to become part owner of an all-woman’s network but someone else is forcing the price beyond their control.

The relationship between Adly and Axel is an enemies to lovers in which the palpable sexual attraction is hidden behind innuendo, anger, and aggression. Fantasy role play is but a part of the couple’s developing relationship, as well as the Axel’s need to make their arrangement more permanent. The $ex scenes are provocative and impassioned.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and familiar secondary and supporting characters including all of the previous story line couples including Adly’s siblings Holt, Hunter and Alex; their father Samuel Sebastian, Grandpa Irving and Axel’s father Kevin Morgan.

BRUTAL BARGAIN is a story of power and control, secrets and lies, betrayal and heart break, dysfunctional family dynamics, acceptance and love .The premise is melodramatic and powerful; the romance is seductive and passionate; the characters are desperate, decisive, and stubborn.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 10, 2024

In my defense, I didn’t know he was sent to kill me when I fell in love with him.

Grayson. Dark. Dangerous. Irresistible.

One moment, he’s making me feel alive for the first time since Dad died. The next? He’s got a cold steel blade to my throat. Turns out, Mr. Tall, Dark, and Homicidal is actually an assassin ordered to kill me.

Now I’m his prisoner. I hate that his touch still ignites my soul, each one a cruel reminder that the next could be my last. I want to believe he would never actually hurt me, but Grayson’s code is absolute: eliminate any threat to innocents. And someone’s working overtime to convince him I’m guilty… Who? And why?

As secrets unravel, I’m forced to confront the shocking truth about why Grayson was sent to silence me forever… Leaving me with one haunting question:

Will the man who gave me a reason to live become the one who takes my life?
**Author’s Note: This book follows Grayson Lockwood, brother of Hunter from the Vendetta Duet. While not essential, readers may enjoy starting with Secret Vendetta for additional context.*

••••

REVIEW: CROSSFIRE is the first instalment in Kathy Lockheart’s contemporary, adult CROSS romantic suspense duet focusing on CIA operatives Grayson Lockwood, and ER nurse Ivy. Grayson was first introduced in the Vendetta Duet focusing on his brother Hunter.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Grayson and Ivy) CROSSFIRE follows the building but tempestuous relationship between our story line couple. Grayson’s latest assignment spiralled out of control when a young woman interrupted what was supposed to be the takedown of a dangerous arms dealer . Curious as to the who what and how, Grayson goes on the hunt only to discover his next target is our story line heroine. Grayson has been ordered to kill the woman with whom he is falling in love but all is not as it appears to be. On the run, hoping to protect the woman he was ordered to kill, Grayson quickly discovers that the CIA is refusing to back, and they are determined to terminate our story line heroine.

The world building focuses on the search for the truth. Both Grayson and Ivy’s backstories are heart breaking and difficult but as Ivy continues to ferret out the clues regarding her father’s death, someone else is taking aim at our story line heroine.

The relationship between Grayson and Ivy begins as a lie. Grayson is stalking our heroine in the hopes of uncovering the truth but the truth may be what is about to take down the woman he loves. A deep dive into the darkness uncovers a possible betrayal and the need to be silenced. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are reintroduced to Grayson’s brother Hunter and his wife Luna, Detective Mitchell, Grayson’s handler Daniel, as well as Ivy’s mother, her grandmother and her ex boyfriend Peter.

CROSSFIRE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, power and control, family and relationships. The premise is intriguing, thrilling and entertaining ; the romance is seductive but struggles with the unknown; the characters are desperate and determined. CROSSFIRE ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

•••••

REVIEW:  ACE is the second instalment in Marie James’ contemporary, adult CERBERUS MC TENNESSEE CHAPTER erotic MC romance series, a spin off from the author’s original CERBERUS MC series. This is former Cerberus MC members turned ICE agent, fifty nine year old Eddie ‘Ace’ Yarrow, and thirty-seven year old philanthropist Cora Preston’s story line.

Cora and her siblings always had specific roles to play but the loss of their parents found Cora taking charge when her eldest brother sought election to the highest seat in the land.

The relationship between Cora and Eddie begins acrimoniously. Eddie struggles with his latest assignment believing he is better suited to something else.Going head to head with Cora Preston forces Eddie to take charge when Cora’s life is threatened, unaware of the potential trouble she is about to unleash. Working together to find Sadie, Cora finds herself falling for a man who has been alone most of his life. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The colorful secondary and supporting characters include the return and cameo of several Cerberus MC members from the original series, as well as the introduction of Cora’s brothers, William Preston, and Christopher; and their housekeeper Faye.

ACE is a story of betrayal and madness, grief and acceptance, family and love. The premise is dramatic, intriguing and entertaining; the romance is seductive and impassioned; the characters are desperate and determined.

REVIEW: Quarterback Keeper by Isla Vaughn is book one in the Fall Lake Ballers series.

Quarterback Keeper is college sports romance with Kylian Wilder as the D1 athlete and star quarterback. His main objective was to get to the NFL so he could take care of his mother who has cancer. When fate decided to throw Gia in Kylian’s path he thought it was a great opportunity to pretend they were in a fake relationship for his moms’s sake.

Gia was running from her traumatic past and was looking for a safe place to stay. When Kylian offered her this amazing opportunity she couldn’t resist.

That is until Kylian’s Senatorial Candidate father gets involved and things go awry quickly! With Kylian and Gia starting to have real feelings for each other, can thry get past all the drama his dad throws at them?

This is a wonderfully fast paced fake romance story that goes from pretending to real feelings quickly.

I absolutely loved the main characters of Kylian and Gia. Also loved Kylian’s roommates! They made the book very fun!

I would not normally pick a sports related story but this was definitely a win in my book. Looking forward to book two in the series’

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 30, 2024

Agreeing to fake date my older brother’s best friend—the first man who ever broke my heart— was a disaster waiting to happen.

Asher Le Blanche is heir to a multibillion-dollar empire.
He has the flawless face of Adonis, the body of a Greek god, and the soulless heart of the devil.

The tabloids crown him the most desirable bachelor in the country.
To me? He was the guy I’d been in love with since I was ten.

Three years ago, I made the foolish mistake of throwing myself at him, only for him to turn me down without a second thought.
Fast-forward to today, when I make another mistake that sees him bailing me out of a county jail.

Things spiral further when I’m denied campus housing, and my brother asks Asher if I can stay with him for a few months.

What neither of them knows is that I’m running from a loan shark, a secret that explodes in my face when Asher discovers it.

That’s when he makes me an offer I can’t refuse.
He’ll pay off my debt if I agree to one condition:

Fake date him for three months.

Pretend to be his girlfriend to keep his father from arranging his marriage to the daughter of his biggest rival.

It was supposed to be simple.
We just had to make everyone believe we were real.

But soon, every touch and every kiss starts feeling all too real.
And the rules we set become harder to follow. For both of us.

I swore I wouldn’t fall for him again.
Then we become so wrapped up in each other that I can’t even see the line we weren’t supposed to cross.

Just when we think we’ve outsmarted everyone, everything blows up in our faces.
What started as a temporary fix quickly turns into the biggest risk I’ve ever taken.
And this time, more than my heart is on the line.

REVIEW:RUTHLESS HEIR is the fifth instalment in Faith Summers’ contemporary adult RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRES erotic romance series. This is thirty year old billionaire businessman Asher Le Blanche, and musician Harper St. John’s story line. RUTHLESS HEIR can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

SOME BACKGROUND: In accordance with their grandfather’s will, the Le Blanche siblings need to marry before taking a seat at the proverbial Le Blanche Global Enterprise, and as the next CFO, Asher is expected to marry within the next six months.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Asher and Harper) RUTHLESS HEIR follows several pathways including the frenemies to lovers relationship between our story line couple. Approximately four years earlier, Harper attempted to seduce her brother’s best friend Asher Le Blanche but after Asher’s rejection, Harper found herself struggling to survive a car accident that left her without her memories of the past. Fast forward to present day, Harper’s life continues to spiral out of control, and when Asher is forced to bail Harper out of jail, she find herself homeless and struggling to move on with her life. Living with Asher means facing the man who broke her heart, a man who is about to make Harper an offer she cannot refuse. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Asher and Harper, and the potential fall-out as the past returns, and betrayal from within threatens the growing love between our story line couple.

The world building follows several pathways including Harper’s dark demons, Asher’s desire for a woman he cannot have; and a new direction for Le Blanche Global Enterprise that threatens the entire company.

The relationship between Harper and Asher is a best friend’s sister forbidden romance. Harper’s brother Josh has forbidden Asher from dating our story line heroine. Asher’s reputation with the ladies precedes his arrangement with his best friend’s sister but Asher is desperate, and Harper is vulnerable and desperate. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

Several of the previous story line couples and characters return including Asher’s brother Hunter and his wife Luna (Ruthless Hunter), and their cousin/brother Luc; their father Preston Le Blanche, and Jericho Grayson, as well as Harper’s best friend Beth.

RUTHLESS HEIR is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, power and control, family and friendships, obsession and love. The premise is intriguing, dramatic and intense; the romance is fated, provocative and seductive; the characters are charismatic and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 3, 2024

Brady Wild has focused on one thing this entire adult life: riding bulls. A three-time world champion, Brady’s body has taken a beating over the years and he knows he’s nearing the end of his impressive career. He’s had no time for relationships with his dangerous career but the minute he sees sexy single mom, Abbi Kastella, he knows it’s game over for his resolve to be single.

Abbi is a mom, first and foremost, and she’ll do whatever needs to be done to keep her daughter safe from the danger that’s chased them for half a dozen years. She’s finally been able to set down roots in Bitterroot Valley for herself and Daisy. She adores this community that has welcomed them with open arms, her new business is thriving, and she has a circle of friends that she loves and trusts. And don’t even get her started on the hazel-eyed, muscled up cowboy that makes her whole body tremble with need. Life is good in this little Montana town and Brady is showing her and her little girl what real love is supposed to be.

Despite Brady’s best intentions he can’t resist his blue-eyed siren, or the sweet little girl that has him wrapped around her little finger. But when Abbi’s past catches up with them, Brady quickly realizes that the secrets that Abbi’s been keeping from him are far worse than any damage his career could do to them. Will they lose everything before it even really begins? Or will love prevail so they can get started on their forever On the Wild Side?

REVIEW:ON THE WILD SIDE is the fourth instalment in Kristen Proby’s contemporary, adult THE WILDS OF MONTANA erotic, romance series.- a spin off from the author’s WITH ME IN SEATTLE /SINGLE IN SEATTLE series. This is thirty-three year old rancher/ bull rider Brady Wild, and single mother/business owner Abbi Kastella’s story line. ON THE WILD SIDE 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 (Abbi and Brady) ON THE WILD SIDE follows the building romance and relationship between our story line couple. Approximately five years earlier, Abbi’s best friend and husband Nate died, leaving her a single mother struggling to provide. Fast forward to present day, Abbi and her daughter Daisy have moved to Montana, where they find themselves engulfed in the Wild family, as one of their own. When her seven year old daughter needed a ‘father’ for the father-daughter dance, Brady Wild volunteered . An early snowstorm would find Brady stranded at Abbi’s where our couple would discover their mutual attraction but Brady doesn’t do relationships, and in this Abbi finds herself pushed to the side. As the days and weeks pass, Brady cannot forget about our story line heroine, and begins a slow seduction of Abbi but Abbi has a dark secret, a past mired in pain, a past that is refusing to let go. Meanwhile, Brady Wild is considering a future with the woman with whom he is falling in love but the rodeo circuit calls, and Brady is struggling between head and heart.

The world building follows several pathways including Abbi’s struggle as a single mother, a successful business woman, a past that has left her always looking over her shoulder, and the acceptance and protection of the Wild’s and their friends.

The relationship between Abbi and Brady begins as friends but Abbi is hoping for something more. Brady battles his demons and the possibility of serious injury, and in this, Brady refuses to settle down, or make plans for the future. Falling for Abbi and her daughter Daisy is easy, keeping them safe may be an entirely different matter. The $ex scenes are intimate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful secondary and supporting characters, many of whom we met in the previous story lines. The Wild family is loving, caring, and accept Abbi and Daisy as one of their own-no one is left alone or taken for granted.

ON THE WILD SIDE is a story of secrets and lies, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is inviting and intriguing; the characters are sassy, animated and charming; the romance is real and compelling.
