REVIEW: BROKEN DESIRES is the third and final instalment in RG Angel’s contemporary, new adult SILVERBROOK UNIVERSITY erotic, romance series. This is twenty-two year old Liam Ashford, and eighteen year old Vanessa Caldwell’s story line. BROKEN DESIRES can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Some of the events of BROKEN DESIRES runs parallel to, and crosses over with, BROKEN RIVALRY #1, and BROKEN HEARTS #2.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Vanessa and Liam ) BROKEN DESIRES follows the building romance and relationship between our story line couple. Liam Ashford has a big secret that if revealed could change the course of his current situation but Liam never expected to fall in love with Vanessa Caldwell, Silverbrook University’s ‘goth girl’, a young woman who has secrets of her own. Liam’s two roommates Cole and Ethan have respectively fallen in love with Vanessa’s roommates Eva and Poppy, both with secrets that kept them away from the men that they loved but Liam’s situation is different, and Liam finds himself face an uncertain future without the woman that calls to his heart. Vanessa Caldwell’s home life has molded our heroine into a rebellious teenager who life has been slowly spiralling out of control. At Silverbrook University, Vanessa will meet her friends, forming a new family who both love and support, but a family whose own secrets reveal trauma of their own. As Vanessa and Liam’s relationship turns into something more, Liam is forced to return home, taking with him the secrets that will break Vanessa’s heart. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Vanessa and Liam, and the potential fall-out when Liam and Vanessa’s time together is forced apart by family and duty.

The world building reveals Vanessa’s heart breaking childhood and the lack of support from the people she once called family and friends. Liam’s secret reveals something more powerful, more complicated than anyone could have ever imagined.

The relationship between Vanessa and Liam begins as friend of a friend but Liam is in no position for a permanent relationship, as Vanessa finds herself a cast away from the only family she has ever known. With determination, Liam forces Vanessa to accept a new direction in life, a direction that may or may not be with our story line hero. The $ex scenes are passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters include Poppy and Ethan, Cole and Eva, as well as Vanessa and Liam’s extended families. All is not well in the Caldwell family, and Vanessa finds herself always on the outside, looking in.

BROKEN DESIRES is a story of family and relationships, secrets and lies, acceptance and forgiveness, friendships and love. The premise is impassioned and moving; the romance is seductive and captivating; the characters are determined and dynamic.

REVIEW: BROKEN HEARTS is the second instalment in RG Angel’s contemporary, new adult SILVERBROOK UNIVERSITY erotic, romance series. This is twenty year old Cole Westbrook, and nineteen year old Evangeline ‘Eva’ Sinclair’s story line. BROKEN HEARTS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. Some of the events of BROKEN HEARTS run parallel to, and cross over with the events of book one BROKEN RIVALRY.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Eva and Cole) using present day and memories from the past, BROKEN HEARTS follows the second chance relationship between our story line couple. Eva and Cole were high school sweethearts but perceived betrayal pushed at the raw edges of heart break, and in the ensuing aftermath, Eva lost everything and more. Fast forward to present day, Eva and Cole attend the same university, a surprise to our story line hero. Desperate to reconnect with the woman he still loves, Cole makes every attempt to both destroy and avenge our story line heroine. What ensues is the rebuilding but tempestuous relationship between Eva and Cole,and the potential fall-out as the past refuses to let, once again taking aim at our story line couple.

The world building crosses over with book on in which we get a few glimpses of Ethan and Poppy’s struggling relationship. Along with her roommates Poppy and Vanessa, we are up close and personal with the trauma from the past, and the ongoing betrayal at the hands of the boys they once loved.

The relationship between Cole and Eva is one of second chances; a rebuilding romance in which Cole is oblivious to the truth, and Eva struggles with her attraction to a man who all but destroyed her life. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters include the return of Poppy and Ethan, as well as the struggling relationship between Vanessa and Liam. We are introduced to Poppy’s father, Cole’s parents, and the requisite evil that refuses to let go.

BROKEN HEARTS is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, forgiveness and acceptance, family and love. The character driven premise is emotional and dramatic; the romance is spirited and moving ; the characters are animated, real and haunted.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 22, 2024

Poppy:
Once, I walked the halls of privilege, but in a heartbeat, I watched my world crumble. Now, as I stand at the threshold of Silverbrook University, I’m armed with nothing but a scholarship and a determination to reclaim a semblance of my former life.

But fate has a cruel sense of humor. Ethan Hawthorne, the golden boy of my former elite world and my ex-rival, is here. His every smirk is a reminder that the past is not easily outrun.

Ethan:
At Silverbrook, I’m the guy with the world at his feet—star athlete, heir to a legacy, the guy who always wins. But Poppy? She was the one challenge I never conquered, the one competitor who never played by my rules.

Her return in my life is a curveball I never saw coming. She’s changed, hardened by life’s twists, and now she captivates me more than ever. Our history wasn’t just competition; it was a clash of hearts and egos. Now, the rules have changed. I’m not just out to win a petty game. This time, I’m playing for her heart.

In the elite corridors of Silverbrook University, a tale of passion, redemption, and undeniable attraction unfolds. Poppy and Ethan, bound by their tumultuous past, are caught in a dance of denial and desire. Can an alpha athlete truly humble himself for love? And can a strong-willed girl find forgiveness in her heart?

REVIEW: BROKEN RIVALRY is the first instalment in RG Angel’s contemporary, new adult SILVERBROOK UNIVERSITY erotic, romance series . This is nineteen year olds, Poppy (Lockwood) Donovan, and Ethan Hawthorne’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Poppy and Ethan) BROKEN RIVALRY follows in the aftermath of the family downfall. Two years earlier, Poppy’s life and the lives of her family imploded. Struggling in the aftermath, Poppy would miss her first year of college, before accepting a scholarship to a local university but Poppy never expected to come face to face with the boy who had become her bully, the son of the man she partially blames for everything that went wrong. Enter Ethan Hawthorne. Ethan is a star soccer player at Silverbrook University, an institution of which his father did not approve. Ethan refused to be pulled into his father’s world, and set about to make it on his own but coming face to face with the girl that has starred in all of his fantasies and dreams meant struggling to win back the only girl that could break his heart. What ensues is the rebuilding friendship and growing relationship between our story line couple, and the potential fall-out when Poppy believes their love is predicated upon a life.

The world building reveals some of the back story and history between our story line couple, as well as some of the heart break of Poppy’s two new best friends. Poppy and her family were once part of the elite of society but betrayal and vengeance would come at a cost.

The relationship between Poppy and Ethan is one of second chances of a sort. Frenemies in high school, the struggling relationship would be destroyed by the sins of the fathers. Having lost everything, Poppy and her family would struggle to rebuild but the battle was far from over. As Poppy and Ethan’s relationship slowly turned into something more, Poppy would discover that everything had been all a ruse. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Poppy’s roommates Evangelina ‘Eva’ and Vanessa: Ethan’s friends Cole and Liam; Poppy’s brothers James and Billy, their mother Julia Donovan, and Cole’s parents. There is a prior history between Eva and Cole, one in which Cole is hoping for a second chance, and Eva struggles to forgive or forget.

BROKEN RIVALRY is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, bullies, forgiveness, acceptance and love. The premise is captivating, emotional and heart breaking-the bullying is limited as Ethan realizes the ‘error of his ways’; the characters are struggling, broken, charismatic and charming; the romance is seductive. The epilogue fast forwards three years.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 18, 2023

Jiro
Haunted by my past, I came close to ruining my best friend’s life.
To atone for my sins, I had to return to the place where it all began.
Unexpectedly, solace arrived as a crying girl with purple hair, a haunting link to my history that rendered her untouchable.
Her plea for help compelled me to answer.
Perhaps by aiding her, I could find redemption for myself.
Hope
Amid my brother’s disappearance, I longed for a savior.
Little did I expect to find one in a cemetery.
Jiro Saito, my late sister’s ex-boyfriend and my childhood crush, emerged as that unexpected hero.
He’s a complex blend of danger, scars, and haunting memories.
Strangely, I still long for him, despite knowing he views me only as a way to soothe his guilt.
Perhaps he can help my brother.
And maybe, just maybe, I can rescue Jiro too.

•••••

REVIEW:  GHOSTS is the fourth instalment in RG Angel’s contemporary, adult THE SYNDICATE erotic, crime world romance series. This is thirty four year old former Yakuza second in command Jiro Saito, and twenty-two year old Hope Myers’ story line. GHOSTS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Jiro and Hope) following two time lines, GHOSTS focuses on the hunt for our heroine’s missing brother. Twelves years earlier, a then twenty-two year old Jiro Saito’s girlfriend Anna was gunned down, and our hero believed the bullet was meant for him. Fast forward to present day, Jiro’s guilt has yet to be alleviated but when Anna’s sister Hope asks Jiro for help finding her missing brother, Jiro had no idea that Hope would be the balm to his pain. As Jiro and the Yakuza go in search of Hope’s brother Leo, secrets with reveal a pain like no other for our story line heroine. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Jiro and Hope, and the potential fall-out as Jiro’s time with Hope comes to a close.

The world building continues to look at the blended yet separate worlds of the underground, criminal lifestyle. The deeper Jiro begins to dig, the more he suspects that Hope’s brother is involved in something bad. Still struggling with the murder of the woman he once loved, Jiro knows it is only a matter of time before his life bleeds into the heart of our story line heroine.

The relationship between Jiro and Hope is one of immediate attraction but Jiro continues to carry too much guilt and grief, and with the reappearance of Hope Myers, Jiro suspects the guilt will never be assuaged. As our couple circle one another with their barely veiled sexual attraction, Jiro suspects Hope is the only woman who could ever control his heart, even though he believes he does not deserve a second chance at love. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters include the return of Jiro’s former boss Hoka and his wife Violet (Her Ruthless Warrior 1) , Jiro’s man Oda, as well as Hope’s boss Max, and Hope’s struggling mother. Most of the previous story line characters are present or by way of mention.

GHOSTS is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, dysfunctional family dynamics, forgiveness, acceptance and love but to add, not as dark as many Mafia related story lines. The fast paced premise is heart breaking and emotional; the romance is fated and seductive; the characters are desperate and determined.
