ABOUT THE BOOK: Even if the world did end, five men is far too many to handle. Isn’t it?
Since the Final War, I’ve been doing just fine. I have a lovely cave, a darling vegetable patch, forest views . . . and if loneliness sometimes squeezes my aching heart, well, my books have always kept me company.
That is, until a pack of hunters chase me from my home and right into the arms of several rather large, rather brutish ex-Army Rangers. And those brutes have the nerve to make me the rudest offer I’ve ever heard.
Their protection—for my body.
The whole thing is absurd. Scandalous. Perverted, even. I mean, just the thought of doing that with five men, well, it’s . . . it’s . . .
I take the deal.
Okay, so it’s possible I find them indecently tempting. But these men also have secrets, and pasts so fraught with emotion, I’m not sure I can untangle them all. Or whether they’ll let me.
No, my brutes have made it excruciatingly clear where they think I belong—beneath them, between them, bent over backwards for them . . . but certainly not beside them.
And I don’t think that’s going to work for me.

REVIEW: You are not ready! Even if you think you’re ready, you’re not, Ensnared is the first of its kind for me. RQ delivers a spicy, emotional, intriguing, apocalyptic reverse harem romance that readers are sure to love.
Eden, Beau, Dom, Lucky, Jasper and Jaykob are thrown together in a situation that is so far from normal it could only happen in a book, however, it was a really good read. What do you get when you mix a prim and proper librarian with new found brattiness, a group of dominant over the top alphas, and the end of the world as we know it? Absolute chaos.
Eden is a mix of emotions and logistics, she fights so hard against the way she was “trained” to be, when the guys start getting to a point of no return, she lets her stubbornness shine and really makes it a point to stand against them.
As for the fellas; each has their own dynamic and each has a past they are still dealing with. Yes there is lots of sexy moments, yes there is lots kink, but the story of these six people trying to find their way in a new time is fabulous to read.
The cliffhanger KILLED me!!! I am still recovering, but you bet your tushy I can’t wait for the next book!!

ABOUT THE BOOK: These men killed mine, and for that, they have to die
Bristlebrook is up in smoke, my brutes are dead, and Sam’s camp is a powder keg begging for a flame.
Injured and furious over their losses, the surviving hunters are preoccupied with their own problems. Their factions and allegiances. Their internal wars and pissing contests. The new world they want to forge. They don’t look twice at their meek little captive.
They shattered my heart five ways when they killed my brutes, so I don’t care anymore. If I’m to stop the villains, I need to become one.
I need to be smart. I need to be ruthless.
Even if it means razing myself to the ground to do it . . .
We’re bringing her home, or we’re not coming home
They took our librarian from right under our noses—and with Lucky injured, Bristlebrook in flames, and our personal problems finally spilling over, we’re fracturing.
But we need to be better.
Bringing Eden home is the most important mission of our lives.
Followed closely by the second most important . . . building her a home worth returning to.

REVIEW: The Book Goddess has blessed us and the second book is finally here!!!! Entangled is book two in The Brutes of Bristlebrook series. This is a post-apocalyptic, dramatic, spicy romance filled with dramatic trauma, and so, so much spice, Reverse harem, angsty, and the worst cliffhangers of all time. You MUST read book one, this is not a standalone, if you go into this without the first book you are gonna be so lost lol. Also, check your trigger-warnings, this deals with a lot and may set some off.
This book should really be named tension because that is what you will feel the most.To say the cliffhanger from the last book shattered me is an understatement, I was absolutely heaving waiting to get this next installment. Entangled picks up where the last book left us, the guys are at a loss and poor Eden is devastated.
No spoilers of course, but be ready because this one is coming for your emotions. I loved how much more of a backstory we get out of all the guys, we really start to learn why they are the way they are and why they have to do what they do. Each of the main characters in this book are growing and changing and it makes them better and better to read, so many of the issues are so relatable even in a story that is placed in this type of landscape. I really give it to the author for her amazing storytelling ability. Yes, this book is spicy, the pages are on fire in sections, but the characters are what make me come back each time.
I can’t wait to see what Eden has in store of us next! The cliffhanger in this book is almost as bad as the last and had me in pieces when I finished, book three can’t get here fast enough.
