ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 6, 2016

Nathan has come to town for one reason: her.
And he’s not leaving until she’s his.

Nathan thought he’d be a happy bachelor forever, but things have changed. One by one his brothers have been falling prey to this whole “love” thing and Nathan has never come close to finding a woman who could tolerate him in large doses. Well, except for one. But this girl isn’t a fling. She’s long term, first class wife material. If he goes for her, it’s not for a one night stand. It’s for forever.

Katy Carey is busy. Too busy for love and much too busy for the assertive billionaire from her past who showed up out of nowhere and demanding they try to make things work. But as the Inn she manages starts to face one crisis after another, it becomes apparent that someone is trying to destroy the business she’s devoted her life and future to.

Now the man she just wanted to leave her alone ends up being a friendly ear, an ally and, scariest of all, her only hope.

REVIEW:  RELENTLESS is the fifth and final installment in Mallory Crowe’s contemporary, adult FRACTURE FARRELLS: Damaged Billionaires romantic, suspense series focusing on the Farrell siblings. This is businessman Nathan Farrell, and Inn manager Katy Carey’s story line. RELENTLESS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. The FRACTURED FARRELLS series is a spin off from Mallory’s BILLIONAIRES IN THE CITY series. You do not have to have read the original series to understand or comprehend the premise of the new series.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Nathan and Katy) RELENTLESS is a second chance, of sorts, between billionaire Nathan Farrell, and Seal Cove Inn manager Katy Carey. Years earlier, Katy had a wild crush on Nathan Farrell, her best friend’s boyfriend and the man who would break her sixteen year old heart. Fast forward to present day and Nathan Farrell feels he has been left behind. All of his siblings have found their happily ever after, and Nathan is caught in a perpetual circle of one night stands, or relationships of betrayal and pain. The one person who made him feel real; made him feel like he belonged is the young girl, now a woman, whose heart he destroyed years before. Enter Katy Carey, a small town Inn manager, and a woman facing threats from an unknown source. Nathan’s arrival at Seal Cove Inn comes with some unexpected troubles including a leaky roof, malicious damage and an expected murder. What ensues is the rekindling relationship between Nathan and Katy, and the search for a potential killer at the Seal Cove Inn.

The relationship between Nathan and Katy is one of second chances. Nathan walked out of Katy’s life years before, and in the ensuing time Katy has never forgotten the heartbreak and pain of the man that she once loved. Nathan’s determination to get Katy back into his life finds our hero make decisions that could affect their future together. The $ex scenes are intimate without the over the top graphic, erotic imagery.

All of the previous story line couples, and Farrell siblings play secondary and supporting roles including several employees of the Seal Cove Inn including front desk receptionists Sean and Sheila, as well as the Inn’s next door neighbor Levi Adams who may or may not be interested in Katy Carey.

RELENTLESS is a story of second chances; a romantic suspense focusing on Nathan’s need to forgive himself for the sins of his past; and moving forward towards a happily ever after. The premise is intriguing and heartwarming; the characters are spirited and energetic; the romance is passionate and moving. RELENTLESS is an intimate look at one man’s seduction of the woman he has always loved, and one woman’s need to make it on her own. Mallory Crowe’s amazing FRACTURE FARRELL series is a delightful look at family, friendships and happily ever afters.

I am looking forward to Mallory’s next spin off series- THE STOLEN HEARTS-and book one The Cocky Thief focusing on police officer Scott Hart-a character who was first introduced in the Fracture Farrells.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 4, 2016

Ashley needs a husband. Not in a week, not in a year. She needs a husband now if she’s going to keep her lecherous stepfather from getting any of the fortune her mother left to her. There’s only one person she knows who is powerful enough to take on her stepfather. Alex Farrell wanted her before and she’s going to bet her life that he’s still going to want her.

Except Alex Farrell wants so much more than her body. He wants her heart.

•••••••••••

REVIEW: RESTLESS is the fourth installment in Mallory Crowe’s contemporary, adult FRACTURED FARRELLS erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on the billionaire Farrell siblings. This is youngest brother Alex Farrell, and Ashley Koiv’s story line. RESTLESS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but for backstory and cohesion I recommend reading the series in order as a number of the events in RESTLESS run parallel to the events of book 3-REMORSELESS. The Fractured Farrells is a spin off from Crowe’s Billionaires in the City series.

Told from several third person perspectives with present day and memories from the past RESTLESS focuses on the marriage of convenience between Ashley Koiv and Alex Farrell. Nine years earlier Ashley’s mother Nadia married Alex’s father Walter Farrell thus making our leading couple, along with Logan, Nathan and Robert Farrell, step-siblings but when her mother’s numerous affairs ended the marriage, Ashley was tossed out of the family along with her pride. Fast forward to present day wherein our now twenty four year old heroine is in desperate need of a husband to ensure her mother’s estate goes to the rightful heir and not the abusive man who is trying to destroy our heroine’s life. Enter Alex Farrell-the man Ashley has loved after most of her adult life-and the man who could help Ashley get what she deserves.

Nine years earlier Alex fell for the fifteen year old Ashley Koiv but as step-siblings and the fact that Alex was several years older forced Alex to make a decision and walk away from a potential disaster. Ashley’s mother continued her streak of marriage and divorce but dying under mysterious circumstances left her daughter Ashley in the hands of an emotionally abusive and controlling man. Ashley was in desperate need of help and offered herself up to Alex Farrell with all of the benefits of married life. When threats are made against Ashley and Alex, the Farrell siblings begin an investigation of their own only to discover that their father’s past discretions have resurfaced looking for revenge.

The relationship between Ashley and Alex is a rekindling friendship and romance with plenty of sexual tension, and the push and pull of want and need. Alex’s attraction to Ashley has never been questioned but his brother’s see something else with Ashley’s reappearance-a woman looking for money and to bring down the Farrell sibling. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and seductive.

All of the Farrell siblings play secondary and supporting roles. There are two sources of conflict and threats against Ashley and Alex; one of a questionable nature with connections to Logan Farrell.

RESTLESS is an entertaining and riveting story line. The Fractured Farrells series takes an intimate look at one family’s struggle as they unravel their father’s dark secrets and links to the past. The premise is dramatic and entertaining; the characters are spirited and intense; the romance is sensual and fated. The epilogue fast forwards the series and story line approximately several months where we get a glimpse into the future. There is a short bonus scene that focuses on the search for the truth about a murdered journalist that may be part of the next story line or another spin off series.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 24, 2016

He likes control and order.
She refuses to be controlled.

With his family history, Robert Farrell has faced his fair share of problems. Lucky for him, he’s never been confronted with a problem he can’t solve. And when someone starts manipulating his business deals and threatening the people in his life, Robert realizes it’s time to gain control and take over. But when he can’t control the sexy and mysterious tour guide who refuses his protection, Robert knows that it’s up to him to convince her–one way or another.

There is no way in Hell Malia Martin will be controlled by anyone–especially not by a Farrell, of all people. Destroying her childhood was all it took for Malia to despise the entire Farrell family–Robert included. The only thing she wants from the irresistible billionaire is distance–a great deal of distance. The only problem is: someone is threatening Malia after her one not-so-innocent encounter with Robert on the beach. Leave it to a Farrell to have a stalker–a stalker that’s after her now. As Robert and Malia vie for the upper hand, their enemy closes in. Will the alpha tame the independent woman or will he die trying?

REVIEW: RECKLESS is the second installment in Mallory Crowe’s contemporary, adult FRACTURED FARRELLS A Damaged Billionaires romantic, suspense series focusing on the Farrell siblings. The FRACTURED FARRELLS is a spin off from Mallory’s BILLIONAIRES IN THE CITY series. You do not have to have read the original series to understand or comprehend the premise of the new series. This is billionaire Robert Farrell, and tour guide Malia Martin’s story line. RECKLESS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty although I recommend reading this series in order for backstory to understand the dysfunctional nature of the Farrell family.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Robert and Malia) RECKLESS is a story line that follows eldest sibling Robert Farrell as he embarks on a business trip to Hawaii where he meets Malia Martin-a woman so vehemently opposed to the Farrells that Roberts sees an opportunity to break through Malia’s hardened shell. What ensues is the building relationship between Malia and Robert, and the realization that the Farrells and the Martins go back a number of years. Malia blames the Farrells for everything that has gone wrong with her family; and Robert is desperately trying to undo the sins of the past.

Malia’s attitude and anger towards the Farrells, and thusly Robert, is caustic and bitter. As Robert tries to break through Malia’s defenses, someone else is targeting our couple with personal threats and accusations against Malia and Robert. The relationship between our couple is slow to build as Malia tries to keep her distance from Robert’s advances but Robert will become a constant in our heroine’s life as their would-be stalker begins to threaten anew. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

All of the Farrell siblings play secondary or supporting roles, if only by way of mention. Logan’s pending release from prison for fraud becomes the number one agenda on the siblings list of things to do. Colin and Jean (Ruthless #1 ) spend a few days with Robert in the Hawaiian Islands. The world building is limited as the author did not venture into the Farrell Family business or the breathtaking scenery of the exotic islands. The story line focused on the threats against Robert and Malia, and Robert’s attempts to romance the heroine.

RECKLESS is an engaging and entertaining story. The premise is intriguing and optimistic; the characters are energetic; the romance is an early struggle towards a happily ever after.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 31, 2016

Colin Carter was promised a fortune by his late boss, but instead the money was left to a daughter no one knew the old man had. Now he has to find the lost heiress before anyone else and claim his stake in the Farrell family fortune… even if that means claiming her.

•••••••••

REVIEW: RUTHLESS is the first installment in Mallory Crowe’s contemporary, adult FRACTURES FARRELLS: A Damaged Billionaires romantic, suspense series focusing on the Farrell siblings. This is personal security/fixer Colin Carter, and small-town waitress Jean Hill’s story line. The FRACTURED FARRELLS is a spin off from Mallory’s BILLIONAIRES IN THE CITY series. You do not have to have read the original series to understand or comprehend the premise of the new series.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Colin and Jean) RUTHLESS follows Colin Carter- a man whose previous line of work found our hero the personal security/fixer for the billionaire businessman Walter Farrell. Upon Walter’s death Colin discovered that the money promised to him throughout the years never materialized and Colin set into motion a plan to get what he thought he deserved. Enter Jean Hill, Walter’s illegitimate daughter, and Colin’s latest mark in his scheme to inherit billions from the Farrell family fund.

Jean Hill has never known prosperity, love, or the man her mother claims to be her father. When Colin Carter makes Jean an offer she cannot refuse, Jean takes the first steps in discovering her true heritage, and what it is like to be on the receiving end of death threats and a gun to her head. What ensues is the building relationship between Colin and Jean, and Colin’s need to protect Jean from the people out to do her harm.

The relationship between Colin and Jean begins as a business arrangement as Colin proposes a plan to get the money he believes he deserves. But everything begins to implode when Jean becomes the target of someone hoping for payment of a debt, and Colin finds himself protecting the woman with whom he will fall in love. The $ex scenes are intimate and seductive without the over the top graphic, erotic sexual content.

The secondary and supporting characters include Jean’s ex Mark; her troubled mother Katherine; and local ‘mafia-style’ bad boy/casino owner Eric Nasser. We are introduced to two of the Farrell siblings (Robert and Nathan) who are not surprised by the latest revelation about their father’s indiscretions and illegitimate heirs.

RUTHLESS focuses on revenge and betrayal, family and secrets. The premise is intriguing; the characters are intense; the romance is challenging and hopeful. Mallory Crowe adds another exciting dimension to her billionaire series.
