ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 12, 2024

Sabrina Leal moved to Bliss looking for a new start. She’s in charge of building a school system from scratch and is excited about the challenge. What she didn’t count on was the surliest bar owner she’s ever met. Sawyer Hathaway gets under her skin in the most annoying way. He’s arrogant and sometimes rude, and she can’t stop thinking about him. It’s easier to ignore him when it’s only Sawyer. But when she meets his best friend, Wyatt, he’s light to Sawyer’s darkness, and the combination calls to Sabrina in a way she might not be able to deny.

Sawyer likes things the way they are. Alone. No serious connections. Just him simmering in his own unresolved trauma. Like a real man should. But the new schoolteacher is making it hard. And the reappearance of Wyatt in his life isn’t helping. Years before, Sawyer had joined an outlaw MC when his brother had gotten in trouble. Wyatt had been a true friend, and when he needs a short-term place to stay, Sawyer can’t turn him out. Short term turns way longer, and the baddest man in Bliss has to admit it’s not terrible to have a friend. But there’s no way he’s getting involved with the sweetest thing he’s ever met.

Wyatt wants Sabrina the minute he sees her. He’s spent his whole life in the equivalent of a criminal, violent cult, and he wants some softness. He wants the white picket fence dream of Bliss. His best friend. Their wife. Throw in a super-cute rescue dog and a couple of kids and Wyatt would be in heaven. When his scheming gets all of them snowed in together, he knows he’s got his shot at making this work.

But the MC isn’t done with Wyatt or Sawyer, and Sabrina is exactly the bargaining chip they need…

REVIEW:WILD BLISS is the fourteenth instalment in Lexi Blake’s contemporary adult NIGHTS IN BLISS, COLORADO erotic, revers harem romance series. This is elementary school teacher Sabrina Leal, bar owner Sawyer Hathaway, and bartender Wyatt Kemp’s story line. WILD BLISS 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 including a MFM menage sexual relationship , there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from several omniscient third person perspectives WILD BLISS follows the building romance and relationship between elementary school teacher Sabrina Leal, bar owner Sawyer Hathaway, and bartender Wyatt Kemp. Approximately one year earlier, Sabrina Leal watched as Sawyer Hathaway all but ran from our story line heroine. Fast forward to present day Sabrina is the new elementary school teacher for the children of Bliss Colorado, but an electrical issue with her cabin finds Sabrina facing down Sawyer Hathaway and his roommate Wyatt Kemp. Wyatt knows immediately he wants Sabrina as his own but is willing to share with Sawyer Hathaway but Sawyer struggles with his ‘criminal past’, and Wyatt’s past with the Colorado Horde MC threatens the safety of everyone concerned and both men are willing to walk away to protect the woman he loves.

The world building focuses on several paths including Wyatt’s struggles to escape his past, a past that refuses to let go. From the outset, Sawyer believes himself unworthy and a fear of abandonment continue to threaten his sent of self-worth, and Sabrina has fallen to two men who believe she is unable to protect herself.

The relationship between Sabrina and Sawyer begins tempestuously due to Sawyer’s belief he is unworthy of love. As Sabrina and Wyatt’s relationship becomes something more, Sawyer reconsiders his future with the woman he loves. 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 familiar, entertaining and sassy characters most of whom we have met in the previous story lines.

WILD BLISS is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, dysfunctional family values, acceptance and love. The premise is captivating, dramatic and gritty; the romance is provocative and impassioned; the characters are determined, broken and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 24, 2024

My father is a murderer.

When I stumble upon proof that he’s part of the Division of Silence, I run right into the arms of The Harem Project. It’s fine; that’s where I’d been heading anyway. It’s time to find my husbands.

The truth of the blood on my family’s hands hangs over my head like a shadow. I try to remember as much as I can, thinking that everything has a different meaning than what I’d always thought. I should have seen this sooner. I should have known.

It’s been two years since Silence exterminated ORKA. Two long years of silence, waiting for them to make their move. Finally, the day has come as they unleash horrifying plagues upon the worlds – both human and monster alike. Each new one is far worse than the last, leaving devastation behind as The Harem Project tries to keep up.

My name is Rue and while I know that I don’t wear the blood that my family spilled, it weighs on me to make it right. Even if that means that these few short weeks with my husbands is all that I get before the world as we know it ends in screams, bodies, and blood. I can’t let this be my family legacy.

••••

REVIEW:Is this the final book in the series? I’m afraid to say it is 😔 I’ve loved reading this epic journey. The books can be read out of order, but my advice (opinion) it’s definitely better read in order, as there is an on going story.

A quick rundown of the players in this book/series……

Harem Project (this was created to bring families together. You fill out an extensive application form, giving your likes/dislikes/personal information and everything in between. They then give you a portfolio of families that they think you’ll like, you then meet and discuss, if you fit, you marry and grow as a family.)

ORKA ( this organisation was created to combat the division of silence!)

Division of Silence (this organisation was formed to eradicate monsters from the world!) They deem all monsters to be dangerous!

So….. Ruri or Rue as she now likes to be called found out that her father is a leader in the dreaded organisation!! But why, when they are monsters themselves! But that’s not the best part …. (Nope 🤐) but anyway she runs off to find her husbands and make them aware of what she’s found out…..

And the family that Rue chooses …. The house of Savage (it’s usually the most dominant person that’s the leader, and the family will take that name.)

They are an established unit already…. It’s usually the “wife” that’s the last link that’s missing in the family unit.

We do focus on Calix & Koa a fair bit, but that’s not to say the others aren’t voiced and loved. We get time to interact also with Bryn & Javan, and we get to see them all come together with Rue (all except Koa and we get told why.)

The author put a lot of thought into her chat before and after the story is told. (That one of my favourite things they do in each of the books, in fact all of her books are like that.)

And so the final battle draws near and it’s down to humans against monsters! But as we find out pretty quick, humans are also a casualty and so are the monsters!

It’s fast paced story that doesn’t stop until the last word is read!

The author makes it clear that there won’t be a spin off series (there are just too many characters for that to happen.) and she also makes it clear that this isn’t a RH/why choose where the MFC isn’t the central point in this family! And if you’ve read all the stories, you’ll know that! And I’ve loved that about this series. I’ve grown to love this series (not all the books have been favourites) for that reason. The author makes no apologies for the way she writes them.

There are a few moments that might be triggers (please read the warnings) there are a few moments that made me 😢 the world will definitely change after this last battle….

I’ve loved meeting new monsters, I cheered when we caught up with previous families (they’ve got books in this series.) And I’m definitely on #teammonster in this book. It’s graphic without being gory. It’s spicy without overdoing it. But it shows you that family doesn’t have to be blood related. That even when it’s at its most darkest, there is still that small pinprick of light to show you hope.

I’m going to miss the Harem Project. But it’s on my list to Reread again and again 💜

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 August 8, 2024

Three billionaire Alphas. A marriage of convenience. What can possibly go wrong?

Being an Omega is incredible. Being a fat Omega no one wants? Not so much.

But I don’t need to be wanted, I only need to survive. There’s five years left until I get my trust fund, and I can put my toxic, abusive, fatphobic family in my rearview mirror.

That’s my plan, and I’m sticking to it—until three Alphas offer my family a deal.

Three Alphas who are ridiculously rich, scorchingly hot, and claim they need me. For one year.

The deal: Marry them for one year to help save their company, and I walk away with my trust and my freedom. Simple. Easy. I don’t even blink before I sign on the dotted line.

I thought it was just a marriage of convenience and nothing more. I didn’t count on my husbands caring about me. Protecting me. Craving me. Seducing Me. Making me feel things I never have before.

Now a year doesn’t feel like long enough. But that’s what we agreed. One year, and we all walk away.

All good things come to an end. I just hope I can keep my heart from breaking when it does.

REVIEW:Second book in this series, and I’m glad it was Ocean’s story (don’t think she would have lasted much longer without her pack!)

Living with her aunt and uncle after her parents died in a car crash, sees Ocean living an unhappy life!

Yes, she still misses her parents, especially her mother. But it’s not a happy household! They have money courtesy of her parents (and a trust that she inherits at thirty five!) but they belittle her for the slightest thing, years of being told “your fat” “no one will want you” “you will never amount to nothing” has Ocean with no confidence at all! Even her best friends can’t make her see herself other than what she’s been called! She needs to get out from under their thumbs, but unless she marries, she can’t see that happening!!

Her uncle is hosting a gala and Ocean is told to attend! Being trussed up and paraded around, has Ocean exhausted mentally and physically, just a little longer and she can escape to her room….

Being accosted and forced to dance with a man that makes her skin crawl, Ocean just wants to run and hide. That is until her rescuer sweeps in……

Micah, Everett, and Cameron want nothing to do with the man holding this gala, but they attend each year. This year they are attending in search for a bride! Their company directors are forcing their hand (apparently they aren’t giving the right signals to their customers)

Unhappy at this turn of event, the DuPont pack arrive and immediately want to go home, Micah spots a lonely figure on the balcony above and is transfixed, he needs to meet this vision….

Being rescued by the Alphas has Ocean both elated and terrified, they are saying all the right things, but she just won’t let herself believe them.

They on the other hand and obsessed with Ocean…. She is their scent matched mate!! They need her like yesterday!!

So they go about making her their wife!!

It’s not an easy job. There are obstacles at almost every turning point. And Ocean is one of them! She doesn’t believe them, how could three gorgeous alphas want a fat mate?! So they make out it’s a marriage that will last a year…. Ocean will get out from under her relatives, get her trust early, and the alphas will get the board of their back.

I loved this book. I hated how Ocean was made to feel, everyone should be loved no matter their shape!

Really liked how each alpha brought something to the table.

The twists were great, I did guess one, but not the other.

Seeing Ocean’s friends were great, and I can’t wait to see what the last friend gets up to in her book.

It’s paced pretty well, slow burn until it’s not 😜 🥵

Definitely recommend for those who love the Omegaverse genre.

ABOUT The BOOK: Release Date: June 26, 2024

I’m the pack reject. The prey.

For years, I’ve kept myself safe from my small pack’s males, hiding in sewers and sleeping in trees to keep their teeth out of my neck. They don’t really want me, just the power and prestige that comes with winning the Hunt. I only want to survive.

In three days, at the Enforcer Games, I’ll have one chance to escape. But when the Games begin, and the most powerful shifters in the world arrive at my packlands and scent me, a new Hunt begins.

They’re the princes of our world. And they’re willing to break the rules to get me.

Pack Reject is the first book in a new paranormal wolf shifter series from Amazon Top 50 and Vella-bestselling author Merri Bright. Fated mates who are driven to reject each other, powerful enemies in unlikely places, and a fierce heroine who will change the world… if she can survive the Hunt.

Please read the content advisories in the Author’s Note. This is a slow burn series where the heroine will not have to choose one mate, if she chooses any at all.

••••••••••

REVIEW: A new author for me to read.

Pack Reject tells a story of a downtrodden female pack member, Florida or Flor as most of the pack call her. The verbal abuse, the way the pack treat her, (if that had been me, I would have curled up and given up years ago!!) just years and years of neglect! But has she given up? Oh hell no!! This is one bada$$, kicka$$ female. She’s managed to outwit/outsmart the males that want “fun” with the reject, the “honour” of claiming her! Becoming Enforcer to the pack means higher up in the pack, so mating Flor is just a means to an end! Realising she needs to leave the pack and find a new one is going to take entering the Enforcer Games. So that’s what she sets out to do….

Enter the heirs to the wolf shifter world! But Flor isn’t aware of who the heirs are at first. And like most male shifters, they are an entitled bunch! I do wonder if Flor doesn’t pick any of them to be her mate/mates. It takes certain characters time and effort to bring Flor around to their way of thinking.

I cheered, I cried, I hissed/booed and threw my kindle throughout this book. And it’s only the first one (my kindle is now hiding under the duvet 😆) Flor has a wicked sense of humour, an acid tongue that spits out fast one-liners. She help but question and disobey at every turn, (it’s probably the only reason she’s still alive!) The action is movie worthy, the story and the characters will have you thinking of it for days to come.

We get different points of view (always nice to hear what other characters think) we get to realise who Flor is to them.

Were the MMC’s going to bond with the same female? (Most books are a why choose genre at the moment) or has they assumed they would mate separately?

There is also a twist (or a small surprise 🤔) which I didn’t see coming, but I thought was a great idea.

Brand/Finnick/Luke/Joaquin and Glen are all in the running to be her mate. There are a few surprises and a sad moment at the end. But for now, they all have a lot of work earning and keeping Flor’s trust. It’s not going to be an easy ride.

There is a cliffhanger. (What a surprise 😝)

There is minimal spice, but the story is soooooo engrossing, I hardly noticed (and too be honest a little refreshing)

I seriously can’t wait to read the next book.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 2131, 2024

It all comes down to this.

Mari Marcosa’s family—the three men who are her very world—is back together.

She won’t let anything tear them apart. Not again.

May God have mercy on her enemies.

Because she won’t.

•••••

REVIEW:VICIOUS THRONE is the fourth and final instalment in MJ Crouch’s contemporary, adult GILDED EMPIRE dark, erotic, reverse harem, criminal underworld romance series focusing on Mari Marcosa and the three men whom she loves: Greyson Andrews, Dominic Ricci and Nate Black. VICIOUS THRONE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events and cliff hanger of book three FIERCE MONARCH.

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

Told from four first person perspectives (Mari, Greyson, Dominic, Nate) VICIOUS THRONE is the culmination of four instalment in which Mafia queen Mari Marcosa, head of the criminal underworld, is under threat not only from the other leaders but from Cassius ‘Cash’ Beckstrom , a man who is determined to take the throne. As Mari begins to circle the proverbial wagons, she will discover, once again, that betrayal comes from within, and blood doesn’t not always equate to family or trust. As Cash Beckstrom takes aim at the Marcosa family, Mari must secure the families before exacting revenge for the people she lost. As Mari’s world begins to crumble, our heroine will make a deadly alliance to protect the people she loves, and destroy anyone who refuses to follow along. With Greyson, Dominic and Nate by her side, Mari will take back the city, one betrayer at a time.

The world building continues to focus on Mari and the men whom she loves. One marriage on paper but three husbands in her heart, Mari knows the men will die to protect her but Mari isn’t willing to lose anyone she loves. With the help of the other heads of the crime families, Mari and her lovers prepare for war, a war in which not everyone will survive.

The relationship between Mari, and the men whom she loves (Grayson, Dominic and Nate) is one of shared love and respect. Grayson has been, and will always be the first man Mari has ever loved, while Dominic and Nate struggle to regain Mari’s trust. The $ex scenes are intimate, provocative and seductive.

There is a large ensemble cast of powerful and often questionable secondary and supporting characters including the leaders of the crime families, whose own allegiances will be questioned and put to the test. Betrayers will be destroyed; while others find a potential happily ever after in someone else. The author has plans for a spin-off set in the Gilded Empire world.

VICIOUS THRONE is another detailed and complex story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, family and obsession, acceptance and love. Power will be handed down to the next generation but not all people want the power that is theirs to be owned. The premise is fast paced, action paced and captivating; the romance is passionate and enthralling; the characters are desperate, determined and charismatic.

About the book: Release Date May 17, 2024

Mari Marcosa has been betrayed by a person she let inside her life in every possible way.

The pain is unbearable, not just because of what he means—meant—to her, but because now she’s got a huge damn target on her back.

Almost as big as the hole in her heart.

Every mafia leader in the city sees this betrayal as a sign of Mari’s weakness and they can’t wait to use it to their advantage.

Her back is to a wall that is crumbling more every second and the men she needs most are struggling just to stay alive.

She’ll have to align with the unthinkable to survive—as secrets she thought were buried deep start rising to the surface.

And it turns out the truth she thought she knew…might not be true at all.

•••••

REVIEW: FIERCE MONARCH is the third instalment in MJ Crouch’s contemporary, adult GILDED EMPIRE dark, erotic, reverse harem, criminal underworld romance series focusing on Mari Marcosa and the three men whom she loves: Greyson Andrews, Dominic Ricci and Nate Black. FIERCE MONARCH should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events and cliff hanger of book two DAMAGED KINGDOM.

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

Told from four first person perspectives (Mari, Greyson, Dominic, Nate) FIERCE MONARCH picks up immediately after the cliff hanger of book two DAMAGED KINGDOM. The betrayals against Mafia Queen Mari Marcosa are coming hard and fast but the most recent betrayal hits the hardest at her heart and her soul. Struggling to move on Mari’s world begins to crumble including further betrayals from people she once considered family and friends. With the help of the men who stood by her side, Mari needs to set a plan into motion but all does not go according to plan when several more attempts are made on not only Mari’s life but on the people closest to our story line heroine.

The world building continues to be complex and detailed, following several paths of betrayal and vengeance. Most of the ruling families, as well as the capos and their men do not like to bow to a woman in charge, and in this Mari has become the number one target, not only of the people beneath her but of someone else gunning for the chair at the top.

The relationship between Mari and the men that she loves is crumbling; destroyed by betrayal, secrets and lies, and going forward Mari will focus on a permanent union to keep the monsters at bay. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense.

Once again there is a large ensemble cast of dangerous and dynamic secondary and supporting characters, many of whom are targeting our story line heroine. Cassius ‘Cash’ Beckstrom continues to focus on taking down the woman in charge, believing his place is on the seat of the throne.

FIERCE MONARCH is another story of power and control, secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, dysfunctional family values, deception, heart break and loss. The premise is dramatic and emotional; the romance is crumbling but provocative; the characters are dynamic and determined. FIERCE MONARCH ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 9, 2024

I swear I only asked one hot hockey-playing friend to give me romance lessons for the week, but three hockey stars volunteered…

The post breakup plan was simple – escape from my toxic ex to a vacation rental and stay far away from men.

But thanks to a booking snafu I’m accidentally sharing it with three hot hockey players. One’s flirty, one’s broody, one’s a cheeky Brit, and they’re all the most attentive men I’ve ever met.

After a couple of glasses of champagne, I’m telling them about the contest my ex is running on his dating advice web site. The topic? What makes a great boyfriend, and I want to submit a column.

All three offer to show me every single thing I’ve been missing in and out of bed.

We make a deal for one week only. It’s only for revenge, of course. I work for the other hockey team in the city so it’d be a big mistake to truly get involved with a rival, let alone three .

Even though I melt under their touch. They show me what it means to be adored, cherished and romanced .

But as the week ticks on, what started as revenge fast turns into me giving my heart to three men I can’t have. Looks like I’m well and truly pucked.

••••

REVIEW: WELL AND TRULY PUCKED is the fourth instalment in Lauren Blakely’s contemporary, adult MY HOCKEY ROMANCE erotic, reverse harem romance series. This is yoga instructor Briar Delaney, and Golden State Foxes hockey players Gavin Worthy, Hollis Bouchard and Rhys Corbyn. WELL AND TRULY PUCKED 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 including the foursome, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from four first person perspectives (Briar, Gavin, Hollis, Rhys) WELL AND TRULY PUCKED follows in the wake of Briar Delaney discovering she is currently homeless in the wake of her boyfriend’s affair. With all of her worldly possessions in two garbage bags and her Dachshund Donut, Briar quickly realizes her ex took the cat, leaving her struggling to regain control. With the help of her yoga students and hockey players Briar regains ‘custody’ of ‘Frances Furbottom’ but in the aftermath realizes she has no place to live. Enter Gavin, Hollis and Rhys, the men with whom Briar will fall in love. What ensues is the building relationship between Briar, and Gavin, Hollis and Rhys, and the potential fall-out as their time together comes to a close as Briar finds a new place to live.

The world building focuses on the building relationship between Briar and the three men in her life, as well as her need to seek revenge against an ex who is taking aim at our story line heroine.

The relationship between Briar and her three men is erotic and provocative. Each man offers something different in her life but it is Gavin who is struggling with his place in the relationship. Promising to remain friends with all three men, Briar battles between head and heart knowing she has fallen for all men equally but Briar is about to become a distraction no one needs. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Briar’s best friend Ivy Samuels (Puck Yes 2); Briar’s father Henry Delaney, his girlfriend Clara, and Briar’s ex boyfriend Steven.

WELL AND TRULY PUCKED is a story of friendships, rivalry, acceptance and love. The premise is riveting; the romance is spellbinding; the characters are determined and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 2, 2024

Standing in front of a dragon means dying by fire, but the heart knows there’s more than one way to burn.

Humans and dragons are at war, and I am a pawn in the battle.

Princess of a dying land, my life is not my own, and a marriage to a vicious, dragon-hunting prince will save my people from deadly famine or death by fire.

But before I can vow my life to a monster, dragons drop screaming from the sky with a single aim. End the alliance. Kill me. I welcome the flames, relieved to burn instead of rot.

But the flames never come.

One look in the dragons’ eyes, and they carry me away. Three dragons whose gaze burns with hunger and fills me with fire.

They’re not what we were taught, and every passing day I learn more of the truth. Dragons are not the enemy we thought they were.

Still, one question remains: for centuries no one has stood before a dragon and survived. If these dragons were sent to kill me, why am I still alive?

REVIEW:Another trilogy by an author who is becoming a one click for me. Why choose and shifters, what more could a reader ask for 😉

Lena is to be married off to a neighbouring kingdom to form an alliance against the dragons! The only good dragon is a 💀 dragon! That’s how she’s been raised! But meeting her future husband has Lena in a panic! He’s not a polite prince that he pretends to be, in fact he’s a villain (and one you don’t want to be redeemed!)

Meeting the trio of dragons, Zovai, Sirius and Endre has Lena rethinking most of the teachings she was brought up with. And even the dragons are baffled with what they know from the elders.

I really liked how we got to read all of the main characters points of view. The plot had me reading until late into the night, in fact I finished the book in one day.

Not happy about the cliffhanger. And that cute baby dragon, Vari (that must have given her a clue that something was amiss?)

So….. wedding day approaches and Lena is lead to the altar. But before the vows are exchanged, the dragons swoop in. Lena realises she’s the target and prepares to meet her fate 💀, but that doesn’t happen….

Zovai, Sirius and Endre have been charged with killing Lena. The elders don’t want the kingdoms banding together, so to show the humans who is boss, the elders decree Lena must 💀!! So what stops that from happening? You’ll need to read the book to find out 😜

Yes, it’s a little predictable. Yes, although trust needs to be earned you know they will all be ok. But with the stories this author writes, it’s not that simple. Miscommunication and betrayal have Lena and the dragons not trusting one another. What are the elders hiding? And are the dragons really the enemy that Lena was led to believe?

There are triggers, and my advice is to visit the website and read them before grabbing this book.

Also be aware there is a huuuuuuuge cliffhanger (that was what i expected) so hoping the next book is out soon, because I need to know what happens next.
