ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 27, 2024

Former Navy SEAL Ollie O’Brien can’t deal with being sidelined and discharged. His military career was his greatest accomplishment. And now, he’s flailing and fumbling as he searches for purpose in a world that doesn’t seem to value him at all. And when his sister lands him a job in North Carolina, Ollie is reluctant to accept.

Veterinarian Paisley Smythe is in over her head. She needs help with her choices in life, and she’s striking out left and right. But when a friend reaches out with an idea, she meets the one man that could be the saving grace that she’s needed all along. However, the rugged, handsome, and broken man may need her more than she needs him.

As Paisley and Ollie work together caring for the animals and saving the clinic, something sparks between them. Ollie’s injuries force him to believe he’s not enough for Paisley. And Paisley’s past demons destroy her confidence in relationships. Can they both find a way to heal in one another’s arms?

REVIEW: OLLIE’S RECOVERY is the prequel instalment in DM Earl’s contemporary, adult BLUE SKY SANCTUARY erotic, romance series. This is former US Navy SEAL Oliver ‘Ollie’ O’Brien, and veterinarian Paisley Smythe’s story line. OLLIE’S RECOVERY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. There is a slight cross over with mention of Brenna ‘Raven’ O’Brien from the author’s DEVIL’S HANDMAIDENS MC: TIMBER-GHOST MONTANA series.

NOTE: OLLIE’S RECOVERY was originally released as part of the multi-authored SALVATION SOCIETY series. The current story line has been modified for re-release.

Told from three first person perspectives (Ollie, Paisley, Onyx) OLLIE’S RECOVERY follows the building relationship between Oliver O’Brien and Paisley Smythe. After a mission to Bahrain that went all to h*!! Ollie returned home struggling with injuries and the possibility of never walking again. Oliver O’Brien battled with a myriad of issues including survivor’s guilt, PTSD, and no direction in life. Struggling with her brother’s heart breaking battle, Ollie’s sister Onyx sets up a meeting with the group of former military members at FQS-Finnegan’s Quest Sentries-who will determine the best course of action for our story line hero. Now in North Carolina, Ollie will find himself working with, and falling for veterinarian Paisley Smythe, a woman with both emotional and physical scars of her own. As Ollie continues with his recovery, Paisley sees something more in the man with whom she will fall in love.

The world building follows the building romance, revealing some of the background of our story line couple. Paisley is a woman whose own scars tell a story of abuse, and Ollie is determined to claim Paisley as his own but he needs to break down the barrier around Paisley’s heart. Ollie is determined to start life anew, and with Paisley’s love and acceptance, they will set out on a new adventure in Timber-Wolf Montana at the Blue Sky Sanctuary.

The relationship between Paisley and Ollie begins when Ollie discovers an injured cat, and her litter of kittens. Working alongside Paisley at the animal clinic and rescue sanctuary, Ollie will discover there is more to life than pain and suffering. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters many of whom served in the US military, as well as their extended families.

OLLIE’S RECOVERY is a story of family and friendships, recovery and love. The premise is endearing and captivating; the slow building romance is impassioned; the characters broken but recovering. Ollie and Paisley’s story continues in the Blue Sky Sanctuary series.

Grey’s Rescue
Blue Sky Sanctuary 1
by DM Earl
Release Date: June 27, 2024
Genre: adult, contemporary, romance

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

One former military hero. One wildlife lover. And the animals who saved them both.

Relatively new to the Blue Sky Sanctuary, Grey Nottingham is desperately trying to find his bearings in a world he knows nothing about. Still reeling from a mission that crashed and burned out of his control, Grey searches for solace in a safe haven that specializes in the struggles that former military heroes face. But when he encounters a beautiful, determined, and compassionate woman who will do anything to protect the Montana wildlife, Grey suddenly knows his purpose.

Abigale Styeeks loves nature–and after finishing college she’s dedicated her life to defend innocent and protected wildlife–even if it means bringing danger to herself. When the gorgeous and tortured Grey Nottingham brings her some tortured wolves, Abigale launches an all-out mission to save them. Despite her efforts, the ranchers will stop at nothing to destroy the wolves that threatens their livelihoods. Now, battling the ranchers and saving the animals being hunted becomes Grey and Abigale’s new mission. Teaming up, the two find more than the answers to protect the endangered animals. Grey makes it his mission to protect Abigale and the wildlife from the vicious ranchers. But will they end up rescuing Grey from his own personal demons?

••••••

REVIEW: GREY’S RESCUE is the first instalment in DM Earl’s contemporary, adult BLUE SKY SANCTUARY romantic suspense series focusing on the men and women who operate Blue Sky Sanctuary. This is former Marine Grey Nottingham, and wildlife rehabber Abigale Styeeks’ story line . GREY’S RESCUE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. Several characters cross over from the author’s DEVIL’S HANDMAIDENS MC: TIMBER-GHOST MONTANA series.

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

Told from four first person perspectives including Grey and Abigale GREY’S RESCUE focuses on Grey Nottingham’s recovery in the wake of serious injuries suffered in Bahrain.Grey is no longer the man he once was; his physical and emotional injuries are grievous, and the ongoing pain debilitating on a daily basis but when the people at Blue Sky Sanctuary discover several severly injured and abused wolves, Grey will come face to face with his future in the guise of animal rehabber Abigale Styeeks. Abigale and her mother Trudy are wary of men but with the help of the people at Blue Sky Sanctuary, as well as several members from the Devil’s Handmaidens MC, Abigale is learning to trust but trust will be hard fought in the face of the continuous attacks against the local wolf population, and our heroine, herself.

The world building follows numerous paths as several potential story lines are introduced through various characters, as well as the return of the Devil’s Handmaidens MC. The ranchers are battling the influx of wolves, as Abigale and her team try to educate the people about the population.

The relationship between Abigale and Grey is somewhat antagonistic as Grey continues to struggle with the fallout of his injuries, the PTSD, and the debilitating migraines that are threatening his life. Abigale is battling between head and heart with her attraction to a man who is often allusive and shuttered but an attack against the ranch finds Grey,once again, struggling to survive. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate and intense.

There is another large ensemble cast of colorful, dynamic and familiar secondary and supporting characters including the introduction of several ranchers, their extended families, and the return of the Devil’s Handmaidens MC.

GREY’S RESCUE is a story of vengeance and injustice, misunderstanding and forgiveness, acceptance and, family and support. The premise is compelling and riveting; the romance is impassioned but struggles in the face of confusion and misjudgement; the characters are determined and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 11, 2024

My family and friends are targets of an unseen enemy. How can I fight them when I have no idea when and where they will strike next?

Kenna lives by the same moral code as her friends who wear the cut of the Reaper. When she spills her secret to me, I’m enraged. The knowledge she carries affects us all but puts her directly in the crosshairs. This driving need to protect her is new for me.

As the truth is revealed, I discover those who were like friends are nothing more than traitors in this dangerous game.

When it happened, I never saw it coming. I was blinded by her. Guilt and pain send me into a dark spiral as I try to survive. Blood would spray across the city of Vegas until the truth showed its ugly face.

My world has been turned upside down. The true enemy could be in plain sight, but even if they are revealed, it could still be too late to save our empire—and the lives of those sworn to protect it.

••••

REVIEW:HAVOC is the second instalment in Jl Drake’s contemporary, adult HAVOC OF SIN dark, erotic,crime world romance series a cross over with the author’s Devil’s Reach Trilogy, Quiet Mafia Series, and the Dark Water Series. This is Las Vegas businessman and Devil’s Reach MC member Grimson ‘Grim’ Gates, and hostess Kenna Tame-Lodge. HAVOC should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the cliff hanger of book one GRIM.

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

Told from three first person perspectives (Grim, Kenna, Simon) HAVOC picks up immediately after the events of book one GRIM. Grimson ‘Grim’ Gates is the up and coming king of Las Vegas but any number of crime lords, wanna-bes, and powerful businessmen are taking aim at Grim Gates starting with his on again, off again relationship with our story line heroine but as the vultures begin to circle, Grim’s world will come crashing down, and he aims his grief and pain at the woman that calls to his heart. With vengeance at the forefront of his mind, Grim sets out to destroy those who are quickly destroying the world in which he lives.

The world building is, once again, complex and detailed, with many predators targeting our story line couple. Kenna finds herself caught between the love for a man who is unable to love back, and the knowledge that she may never be ready for what the future unfolds. Kenna has a target on her back, and someone close, may be responsible for her life, and that of Grim Gates’ life that is spiralling out of control.

The relationship between Grim and Kenna is turbulent, emotional and impassioned. Grim doesn’t do love or relationships yet his past keeps threatening the current woman in his life. Grims’ darkness screams danger and death, and in this, Grim takes aim at our story line heroine. For all of her knowledge and ability to ferret out problems, Kenna is often TSTL and in this, she can be frustrating on so many levels. Where Grim is unable to trust, Kenna trusts too easily. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters, many of whom we met in the previous story line. Most are questionable at best, controversial in intent, and not trustworthy from the start. Someone will die; everyone is suspect but there are too many probabilities and possibilities- Grim struggles to believe even those closest.

HAVOC is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, power and control, family and deception. The premise is dark, dramatic and edgy; the romance is intense and impassioned; the characters are determined yet broken. HAVOC ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

Zhar sensed I was awake and lifted his head, and his eyes glowed in the red lighting along the base of
the wall. A moment later, he let out a low whine, and I strained to hear what he’d tuned in to. I’d
locked the elevator and wasn’t concerned, as I was on the top floor and there was zero way anyone
could break in through the elevator doors. They only opened if you had the right card.
“No!” Kenna shot straight up in bed, and both dogs leapt to their feet. She sucked in a breath.
I gave a command for the boys to stand down. They listened, but both kept their eyes on her. Kenna
looked around then slowly turned to see me awake. It was dark, but I could sense her fear.
“Sorry,” she whispered as she rubbed her head like it hurt.
“I was awake, anyway.” I turned the low lighting up a bit so she could take in her surroundings.
“Maybe it’s best if I go.”
“No.” I yawned uninterested in the idea.
“And if I wanted to?” She raised her chin, and I saw a tiny spark in her eye. I missed that spark.
“I’d chain you to the bed.”
“Right.” I reached over and pulled a chain from the bedpost and let the cuff dangle from it. “Why
does that bring me comfort?” She rubbed her arms uneasily, and I could tell it wasn’t from the idea
of being bound but from what was weighing on her. She slowly lowered herself to the pillow.
“Reach out and feel the back of the nightstand.” I felt her reach over, and when she did, I rolled
over and put my hand over hers. “Feel that buckle?”
“Yeah.” Her glossy eyes blinked up at me. I could see the nightmare still cling to her mind.
“Unsnap, pull down, and it’s ready to fire.” She nodded. I moved her hand up and under the
headboard. “That’s a Talon knife, sharp as hell. Just pull forward and it will release.” She nodded
again, and I stared down at her worried expression. “You’re safe.”
“Okay.” She nodded a bunch of times, then I ran my hand down her extended arm, across her
collarbone, and up her neck. I brushed her jawbone, and her gaze dropped to my lips. I pushed my
interest into her hip.
I leaned down and caught her mouth with mine. It was a slow kiss, just lips at first, then my tongue
danced with hers. Her hand moved up my side and into my hair while my hand was under her chin
gently holding her in place. It felt different. She tasted just as she smelled, fresh but fruity, and it was
fucking with my head. My normal instinct was to ravish, to consume, flood her body with pleasure
and take whatever I wanted at the same time. But I felt an unusual need to be careful. Her body still
needed time to heal, and her head was in a bad place. I couldn’t shake the feeling of being split
down the center. I pulled back and studied her. Her confusion on what just happened mirrored my
own.
“You should sleep,” I said quietly.
“Yeah, I guess we should.” She waited for me to roll back, then she pulled the covers up to her chin.
When my head hit the pillow, I came nose to nose with Leal.
“Jesus!” I mouthed then glared at him. He stared just as hard back. I swore he cocked a brow at me. I
wondered what went through his brain in that moment. “Go.” I pointed. He waited for a beat then
did what he was told. His typical huff as he plunked back down in his bed was louder than usual.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 1, 2024

She just had to come back into town…

The same woman who’s haunted my dreams since high school, yet so much has changed since she’s been away.

Especially me.

I’m not the guy she remembers from high school. The one afraid to speak up. I can’t wait to show her just how much has changed, starting with how good I am at using my voice to get what I want.

And what I want is her…

I don’t care what anyone has to say about it.

Because I’ve waited long enough.

And she just signed her life over to me…

The Devil in a Suit.

•••••

REVIEW:BOSSY BILLIONAIRE is the first instalment in M. Robinson’s contemporary, adult THE BILLION-DOLLAR MEN erotic, romance series. This is thirty-two year old, billionaire entrepreneur Elias Sinclair, and PR agent Capri Locke’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Elias and Capri) using present day and memories form the past, BOSSY BILLIONAIRE follows the second chance romance and relationship between our story line couple. Approximately ten years earlier Elias Sinclair was offered a three year position as an investment banker in London , England, a position that would pull our hero away from the woman he loved but ten years would pass, wherein, Capri would meet someone else, and with Elias’ return everything would begin to spiral out of control. Hiring Capri’s mother’s PR firm as part of a promotional tour forces Capri up close and personal with the demons from her past, a past from which Elias is hoping for Capri’s forgiveness. What ensues is the rekindling but acrimonious relationship between Elias and Capri, and the potential fall-out as secrets and lies are about to, once again, push Capri out of Elias’ life.

The world building follows the painful past for our story line heroine who struggled in the face of perceived rejection, and the betrayal by someone she thought she had loved. Elias’ return, and hiring of her mother’s prestigious PR firm, forces Capri to confront the man who broke her heart but Elias pushes for something more, something he is hoping to make permanent and real.

The relationship between Capri and Elias is one of second chances but Elias was quick to change their story and script, and Capri would find herself in a fake-engagement with the man she once loved. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and erotic.

We are introduced to Capri’s parents, her best friend Ava; as well as Capri’s ex Kyle, and Amber.

BOSSY BILLIONAIRE is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, family and friendships, forgiveness and love. The premise is dramatic and entertaining; the romance is fated but struggles in the face of heart break and betrayal; the characters are desperate and dynamic.

Harley Jean—

The pounding in my head wakes me— that and the fact that I have to pee. Must have been one hell of a bachelorette party last night. Resting on my side, I crack one eye open and see the lights of the Las Vegas Strip out the floor to ceiling windows. Opening both eyes, I blink. That’s not right. My hotel room doesn’t have windows like those. The heat at my back registers at the same time the weight across my waist does. I lift my head, staring at the muscular arm covered with colorful ink. I can’t make out any of the tattoos, but the work is exquisite. Then a sparkle catches my eyes, and they widen.

The diamond on my ring finger shocks the hell out of me, but not as much as the wedding band nestled right beside it. Holy crap on a cracker. I do the only thing I can think to do— I run. When my ” husband ” shows up in town, I have to hide our relationship from my family. He’s my dirty little secret, and he’s determined to hold that over my head and use it to get his what he wants. And what he wants is me.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 23, 2024

Mammoth:
As the V.P. for the Tonopah RBMC, I make it my job to protect the club, its secrets, and my pres, Grim.
I’m his right-hand man and the one he trusts above all others.
I take pride in my organizational skills and ability to wrangle my brothers, keeping things uncomplicated for Grim.
Everything is just how I want it.
Until I find a single mom and her young son broken down on the side of the road.
Rowen Casey and little Jacob are in trouble and need a protector.
I’m the best man for the job. I just have to convince Rowen.
But taking on this role and getting close to the single mom and her sweet son awakens a deep, primitive need inside me.
I don’t just want to keep Rowen and Jacob safe. I have to make them mine.
And if I need to slash through every obstacle and threat, including the vicious threads of her past, I will.
The Reaper has claimed Rowen and no one is standing in our way.

•••••

REVIEW INFINITELY MINE is the seventeenth instalment in Nikki Landis’ contemporary, adult RBMC: TONOPAH NV, erotic, paranormal, MC romance series-a part of the multi-authored RBMC series. This is RBMC Tonopah NV vice president Waylen ‘Mammoth/Helkin’ Riggs, and single mother Rowen Casey’s story line. INFINITELY MINE 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.

➩ The Author recommends reading DEVIL’S RIDE (see review below) before reading INFINITELY MINE

Told from dual first person perspectives (Mammoth and Rowen) INFINITELY MINE follows the quick building relationship between our story line couple. Rowen Casey and her son Jake had recently escaped an abusive situation when RBMC Tonopah NV vice president found an ailing Rowen on the side of the road. Mammoth’s ‘reaper’ Helkin knew immediately that Rowen Casey was their mate, and Mammoth became guardian and protector of the woman with whom he would fall in love but all was not well in Rowen’s past when our heroine becomes payment for a debt. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Mammoth and Rowen, and the potential fallout as the past refuses to let go.

The world building focuses on members of the RBMC: Tonopah NV, their ability to ‘reap’ the souls of the ultimate evil, and the special abilities of Rowen’s son Jake.

The relationship between Mammoth and Rowen is one of immediate attraction and insta-lust . Mammoth believes he has found his mate, and when the past refuses to let go of the woman he loves, Mammoth is determined to ‘reap’ the souls of the men who destroyed her life. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

Several of the previous story line couples return as secondary and supporting characters. We are introduced to Rowen’s son Jake. The requisite evil has many faces.

INFINITELY MINE is a story of power, control and abuse, rescue and revenge, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is dramatic and dark; the romance is seductive; the characters are determined and desperate.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 10, 2020

I’ve always been a selfish bastard.
As president of the RBMC I’ve learned how to live and ride hard.
I take life one day at a time, never looking back at my past.
But I’ve got a dark and deadly secret.
One that could ruin any chance I have with the one woman who owns my black soul.
Trish Holloway.
She’s been my weakness since the day we met.
All it takes is one wrong move and her life is in danger.
My enemies surface from every corner.
Lies, deceit, and carnage threaten to tear us apart.
If I’m going to finally take her as my own, I’ve got to tear down every obstacle in our path.
Problem is – the Devil’s Ride shows no mercy . . .
And bloodshed is the only way to truly stake my claim.

•••••

REVIEW: DEVIL’S RIDE is the fourth instalment in Nikki Landis’ contemporary adult RBMC: TONOPAH NV dark, erotic, paranormal MC romance series. This is RBMC president Dexter ‘Grim’ Lanford, and Tricia Holloway’s story line. DEVIL’S RIDE can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion I recommend reading the series in order.

NOTE: Some of the events of DEVIL’S RIDE cross over with, and run parallel to, the first three instalments (The Biker’s Gift; Bloody Mine; Ridin’ for H*ll) in the RBMC: Tonopah NV series.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Tricia and Grim) with a final chapter from Patriot, DEVIL’S RIDE focuses on the building relationship between Tricia and Grim, and Grim’s introduction as one of Lucifer’s reapers. Eighteen years earlier Dex Lanford lost two of the most important people in his life at the hands of the Scorpions MC. The resulting chaos came with the arrival of Lucifer Morningstar, offering Dex death or a chance at vengeance. Choosing vengeance, Dex would awake on the side of the road, when a little girl would offer her bear in cautious commiseration. Fast forward to present day wherein Dax Lanford, now known as Grim, as in the Grim Reaper, is the president of the RBMC Tonopah, will come face to face with the past in the form of Tricia Holloway, the young girl now woman he has never forgot but falling for Tricia proved to be more difficult than Grim could have ever imagined when threats against the RBMC and the woman he loved forced Grim to push Tricia out of his life. Months would pass, Tricia found herself on the run, used and abused, until the time came to push her way back into Grim’s life, seeking vengeance for the people she has loved and lost. What ensues is the second chance relationship between Grim and Tricia, and the potential fall-out as Tricia is determined to seek vengeance on her own.

The relationship between Grim and Tricia is a rekindling romance but Tricia must come to terms with the reaper that is part of the man she loves. Tricia has struggled with the monster, the beast that is now part of Dex Lanford’s life but it is the reaper that will inflict the vengeance against the real monster in her life.Grim has struggled with the disappearance of the woman he loves but Dex’s need to protect is about to override when the truth is revealed. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters, most of whom we have met in the previous instalments.

DEVIL’S RIDE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, murder and mayhem, power and control, acceptance and love. The premise is fast paced, intriguing and engaging; the romance is intense; the characters are broken and determined but saying that, Tricia Holloway is a little TSTL (too stupid to live) constantly placing herself in the direct line of fire; an easy target for monsters and the men taking control of her life.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 30, 2023

What if death doesn’t do you part?

They say be careful what you wish for. But on December 5th, Alex Fox makes a wish in the midst of a devastating tragedy. Little did he know, that wish would come true.

Six years after that fateful day, a little girl wanders into Alex’s studio. With her quirky personality, endless questions, and adorable smile, Penny Rose becomes an enchanting, yet bittersweet, distraction.

Penny Rose was an odd girl—at least, that’s what her parents said. Penny herself didn’t feel particularly odd; she simply felt misplaced. As if somehow, in some way, she was living in the wrong place. In the wrong life.

As the years pass, Alex and Penny develop a friendship. But it becomes harder and harder for them to ignore their undeniable chemistry, no matter how forbidden it is.

Alex believed he’d never find love again, let alone fall for a girl half his age. But Penny is everything he could ever want or need. Not only is she caring, witty, and beautiful, but she accepts the past that haunts him.

Penny couldn’t be happier. She’s been head over heels for sexy, brooding artist Alex Fox since she was six years old. But when her childhood dreams start resurfacing again—dreams of a life with Alex way before they ever met—she starts to think they’re not dreams at all.

They’re memories.

Penny’s revelation to Alex threatens to tear them apart, making them question the impossible and unbelievable.

Can love truly transcend time and death, giving them a second chance at their happily ever after? Or is Penny battling a broken mind that has led her down a path of heartbreaking delusion?

••••

REVIEW:THE LOVELY RETURN by Carian Cole is an adult, stand alone, age-gap, paranormal love story focusing on Alex Fox, and Penny Rose.

Told from three first person perspectives (Alex, Penny, Laura) using several timelines, THE LOVELY RETURN covers approximately twenty-four years in the lives of our story line couple. At age twenty-one. Alex Fox lost everything the day a transport truck destroyed his life. Six years later Alex would come face to face with Penny Rose, a six year old girl who knows more about Alex than he could have ever imagined. Alex and Penny will begin a friendship that will span close to twenty years, a friendship that will end when the past takes hold, refusing to let go. Memories begin to surface, threatening the sanity of our story line heroine.

The world building is intricate and transcendent. Alex lost his wife, and struggled in the ensuing years until meeting a young child who was familiar yet not. Penny Rose’s thought and memories were snippets of deja-vu, in which Penny would start reliving a life she knew nothing about.

The relationship between Penny and Alex begins as a friendship in which Penny is pulled towards Alex, his house, his life, and the ghost of his wife. As the years pass, Penny comes in and out of Alex’s life until the day she is no longer able to control the memories that mimic the madness that will change her life. Their friendship is passionate, visceral, emotional and fated.

The secondary and supporting characters, who will play a significant role in our couple’s lives, are animated and haunting, each with their own secrets about the past.

THE LOVELY RETURN is a story of secrets and lies, madness and forgiveness, reincarnation and spirits, acceptance and love. The thought provoking premise is raw and twisted; the characters are broken, struggling, and tragic; the romance is seductive and passionate.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 18, 2023

He’d give his life to protect her…but he’ll demand everything from her in return.

Madison Archer-Pershing fled her murderous, soon-to-be ex-husband, running straight to operative Matt Montgomery, despite the fact he once broke her heart. Under his protection and in his arms, she can’t help but fall for him again. Then her husband discovers them together and coerces her back to his glittering, dangerous world of politics, greed, and deception. But Madison knows his deepest secrets…just like she knows he’ll try to silence her forever.

Matt knows he’s bad for good-girl Madison. He’s too rough, too commanding, but he can’t resist the woman who still owns his heart. Though he’s determined to keep her safe at any cost…he can’t protect her from his own dark desires. As she melts in his embrace, shocking revelations rock them. Peril lurks around every corner. And when he’s confronted with the most wrenching decision of his life, will he rip out his heart to save her or risk everything to claim her forever?

•••••••

REVIEW: WICKED AND BARE is the second instalment in Shayla Black’s contemporary adult duet, and the eighth instalment in the author’s WICKED LOVERS: SOLDIERS FOR HIRE erotic, romantic suspense series. This is the continuing story of thirty-three year old, security specialist Matt Montgomery, and twenty-seven year old, primary school teacher Madison Archer. WICKED AND BARE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of WICKED AS SECRETS.

NOTE: If you have not read WICKED AS SECRETS there may be spoilers in my review. Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual omniscient third person perspectives (Madison and Matt) WICKED AND BARE follows in the aftermath of our heroine’s witness to a murder, and her desperate attempts to flee the people involved. Married into a political dynasty, Madison has sold her soul to the devil but every attempt to leave is circumvented by the power elite. With the help of her former lover Matt Montgomery, Madison goes into hiding but threats against her family find Madison and Matt agreeing to a deal, a deal that would see Madison in the direct line of fire. What ensues is the ongoing relationship between Matt and Madison, and the potential fall-out as Matt’s past is revealed, and Madison struggles to trust the man with whom she has fallen in love.

The world building continues to focus on the political fight for power and control. Madison is arm candy; a trophy wife meant to give voters the image of stability but Madison’s life is on the line every time she is trapped behind closed doors. The Pershing family is a political dynasty where the dark and dangerous secrets, if exposed, would destroy everything. Madison is caught in the middle, when threats against her own family mean bowing to the people in charge.

The relationship between Madison and Matt is one of second chances but Madison struggles with issues of trust, and Matt suspects there is more going on behind the scenes than he could have ever imagined. With the assistance of the team at EM Security Management, Matt begins to unravel the true nature of the people in charge. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense with some light bondage and discipline.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of powerful, questionable and dynamic secondary and supporting characters, many of whom we have met in the numerous Wicked Lovers instalments. We are re-introduced to several members of the EM Security Management Team including Nash Scott, Ethan Garrison, Pierce ‘One Mile ‘ Walker; Madisons’ best friend Haisley; as well as Madison’s soon to be ex-husband and inlaws .

WICKED AND BARE is a story of the political elite, power and control, secrets and lies, acceptance and forgiveness, betrayal and revenge. The dramatic character driven premise is haunting, tragic and edgy; the romance is provocative and emotional ; the characters are spirited, determined and destructive.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 11, 2023

A crooked cop. Corruption. A woman convicted of murder. A man determined to prove her innocence.

When Helena Grayse is released from prison, all she wants is to say a final goodbye to her old life. But when a man finds her trespassing on his property, instead of turning her in, he takes her in. Accepts her. Loves her.

But someone decides to serve Helena with a death sentence.

••••••

REVIEW:SHATTERED DREAMS is the third instalment in Abbie Roads’ contemporary, adult FATAL DREAMS paranormal, romantic suspense series. This is police department consultant Thomas Brown, and former inmate Helena Grayse’s story line. SHATTERED DREAMS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary but I recommend reading the series in order for back story. SHATTERED DREAMS is the re-release of the author’s NEVER LET ME FALL (Fatal Dreams Series).

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may not be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from several third person perspectives including Thomas and Helena SHATTERED DREAMS follows the building relationship between police department consultant Thomas Brown, and former inmate Helena Grayse. Ten years earlier Helena was sentenced to prison for a crime she did not commit but Helena found herself the target of a prison gang, a gang determined to end her life. Upon release from prison, a battered and battle -scarred Helena headed back to the family home, a home now owned by consultant Thomas Brown. When the attacks against Helena’s life continue on the outside, Thomas is determined to protect the woman that literally calls to his heart, a woman with whom he is psychically tethered. What ensues is the building but struggling relationship between Thomas and Helena, and the potential fall-out as Thomas’s past is determined to own him body and soul, a malevolent past that is closely connected to the woman he loves.

Thomas Brown has a special ability of which only a few are aware. With his ability to ‘read’ and ‘see’ the shadow of death, Thomas is surprised when Helena’s aura is a beacon of colour and light, colour he hasn’t seen in too many years. Helena has survived the prison abuse but was unaware of the how and why. Keeping to herself, remaining quiet in the face of danger and death, Helena continues to be targeted for sins of the past.

The relationship between Thomas and Helena is one of immediate attraction. Thomas knows immediately, with one touch, that Helena is his soulmate -her nearness allows Thomas to see colours and light; his touch heals that which would have killed a lesser human. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

SHATTERED DREAMS is a story of heartbreak and pain; family and loss; betrayal and vengeance. The premise is dark, gritty and raw; the romance is fated; the characters are broken, damaged and lost.

BROKEN DREAMS (Beautiful Nightmare 2) by Abbie Roads

ABOUT THE BOOK: Re-release Date June 13, 2023

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

A stalker. A killer. A virgin hero who will sacrifice himself to save the woman he loves.

FBI Special Skills Consultant Lathan Montgomery has a genetic anomaly that he uses to solve cold cases, but it forces him to live in seclusion. When he saves a woman from a roadside attack, instead of her presence causing him to lose control, she soothes him. For the first time in his life, he experiences love.

But someone is watching them and planning to make them both suffer.

Broken Dreams is the second book in Abbie Roads’ Beautiful Nightmare Series of dark romantic thrillers. It features a virgin hero who never thought he’d find love. If you devour true crime and romance novels then you’ll love a series that combines both in a roller-coaster ride of danger, mind games, and swoon worthy love.

•••••••••••

REVIEW:  BROKEN DREAMS is the second instalment in Abbie Roads’s contemporary, adult BEAUTIFUL NIGHTMARE paranormal, romance series. This is FBI consultant Lathan Montgomery, and waitress Evanee Brown’s story line. BROKEN DREAMS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. BROKEN DREAMS is the re-release of the author’s  HUNT THE DAWN (Fatal Dreams 2).

NOTE: BROKEN DREAMS contains graphic and implied scenarios of violence, torture, sexual and emotional abuse.

Told from several third person points of view including Lathan and Evanee BROKEN DREAMS focuses on the hunt for a serial killer. Lathan is a special investigations consultant with the FBI and his latest assignment is the search for a serial killer whose number of victims is increasing at an alarming rate. Enter Evanee Brown, a young woman whose nightmares become tangible in the presence of our story line hero. What ensues is the building relationship between two people caught in the supernatural world of psychic abilities, and a psychopathic murderer.

Lathan Montgomery suffers with debilitating scent memories -odors and smells trigger memories of the people around him. Along with the olfactory abnormality touch brings about another form of memory recall. Evanee’s abusive past is darkened by a familial connection that wants to rekindle the dark relationship. With her connection to Lathan Montgomery Evanee’s nightmares become real as our heroine connects with the serial killer’s victims. Lathan and Evanee together will protect one another from the approaching demons and a psychotic killer.

We are introduced to Lathan’s friend and FBI partner Gill Garrison whose relationship with Lathan struggles as our hero finds solace in Evanee Brown. Lathan’s parents battle with their son’s idiosyncrasies; and Evanee’s past is out to destroy any semblance of love for our story line heroine. Xander Stone and Ileen Walker (Race the Darkness #1) play secondary characters. The requisite evil has many faces and names.

BROKEN DREAMS is a dark and gritty story line; an emotional and moving story about two people on the periphery of ‘normal’ society whose abilities single them out from the ‘maddening’ crowd. The premise is intense and inventive; the characters are passionate and dynamic; the romance is intimate and fated. BROKEN DREAMS is a suspenseful and enthralling look into the mind of the supernatural, and a serial killer.

Abbie Roads loves Snickers Parfaits and acrylic pour painting. It’s her new obsession. The pour painting. Not the parfaits. Though the parfaits would qualify as an obsession too. She spends her days a mental health counselor always looking on the brightside, but at night she likes to write dark and dangerous things—with kissing and sexy times. She loves reading inspirational quotes and stories about serial killers. She is married to her favorite fellow and they have two cranky old rescue dogs that are not spoiled. Not at all. Okay. Maybe a little. Alright, the dogs are terribly spoiled, but they do give lots of cuddles and kisses in return.

Her first book RACE THE DARKNESS was a Publishers Weekly Top 10 Pick for Fall.
