ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 20, 2023

RSVP to my Marriage of Convenience

I swore I would only get married if my life depended on it. Oh, the irony.

Many things have happened over the past few weeks that I didn’t see coming. My family imploded. Our business was turned upside down. And someone threatened to harm me if I didn’t make good on my father’s promises.

But the biggest thing I didn’t see coming?

Foxx Carmichael demanding marriage.

He’s doing it out of loyalty to my brother. I know that. But I can’t help but think if, through that deliciously hot, grumpy exterior, my bodyguard doesn’t have ulterior motives.

There’s no denying the fire in his touch or the heat in his blue eyes. He protects me with a ferocity that leaves me breathless. He makes me rethink many things I thought I knew for sure—like my position on marriage.

But how we dance around our fake relationship makes me wonder what part of this is pretend. None of it matters if he doesn’t admit he feels the same way.

Our sham wedding will fall apart as soon as the threat is contained. But what happens if the flames between us burn everything to the ground first?

••••

REVIEW:Flame is the fifth installment of the Carmichael Family by Adriana Locke. Each book can be read as a standalone, and no real need is made in the story line to read them in any order. Fame is a traditional contemporary romance and marriage of convenience trope.

The plot and story is what I have come to expect with AL and the Carmichael family, however I think Flame was lacking … .sparks between the main leads. Foxx and Bianca have known each other for some time by the time we get their story, but it didn’t feel like there was much of a build up to them as a couple. Foxx was Bianca’s brother’s best friend as well and that I think played a part in the “slow get together”.

Foxx and Bianca work together, and when it comes to light that someone wants to hurt Bianca, Foxx is on the ball to protect her, and thus their romance begins. There wasn’t much chemistry between them in my opinion, and what there was felt forced, almost like a bad first date. Then when the marriage of convenience happens, they magically decide to act on their feelings.

Overall, I was a little disappointed in Flame, not what I have come to expect from this author. I love the Carmichael’s and was super excited for Foxx’s romance, but it just felt forced and rushed. For fellow AL fans, I’m sure you will like Bianca and Foxx.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 9, 2023

Tinleigh is a pint-sized, curvy vixen with a darkness in her eyes and a sway to her hips that has me captivated. She’s also the woman her identical twin sister trusts me to look but not touch.

So, was it smart to bring her to the club’s compound and move her into my cabin? Abso-freakin-lutely not. Did I do it anyway? Heck yeah! Haven’t I mentioned how hot she is?

It should be easy to keep my hands off her body and my heart in my chest since her walls are not only up, they’re ten feet deep and lined with barbs. Unfortunately for her, I was never one for self-preservation.

Little by little, she lets me in, and I fall even more for the woman who has been protecting everyone but herself for her whole life.

Well, not anymore. Because when crap goes south with her and her twin’s sleazy abusive ex-boss, she not only has me, she has the entire Sons of Erebus MC backing her up.

Despite my reassurances though, she sacrifices herself and disappears in a desperate, last-ditch effort to protect her sister and keep me at bay.

Now it’s up to me to prove that, for better or worse, she belongs to me. And nothing and no one will stand in my way.

It’s time to go get the girl.

•••••

REVIEW:Lucky’s Trouble by Misty Walker is a different kind of dark romance, but one that I can’t wait to read again. This was a first read for this author and I was pleasantly surprised by the story and the author. Before reading, please make sure to check the trigger warnings, there is content included that may be sensitive to some readers.

Lucky is just the kind of man you think he is, tall, dark and mysterious, but he also has major golden retrieval vibes. That I didn’t see coming. Tinleigh has been through the ringer, she and her twin sister have suffered enough, but when they see a way out, they take it. However, things don’t go to plan, and Tinleigh is left behind. When said twin sends help in the form of a hot alpha biker, AKA Lucky to get her out of her situation; their spark is immediate. Lucky is smitten and Tinleigh isn’t far behind, but life isn’t that simple.

Lucky is hooked, Tinleigh is the one for him and he does everything in his power to show her the type of man he is, that he can protect her, never hurt her and keep her safe. He truly does everything in his power to show her how it can be between them. Tinleigh is slow to trust, and even slower to open herself up to Lucky, but there is something about him that calls to her. It’s a calling she doesn’t want to ignore any longer.

Tinny was vulnerable for a time in this book, but when Lucky finally makes his way through her tough outer shell, their connect sparks to light faster than anything I have seen. Their spicy level is off the charts, and their moments with twizzlers lol well let’s just say I too have a sweet tooth.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 6, 2023

Who knew four little words and a very public kiss would change so much.

Gage Langdon didn’t do relationships. After having his heart shattered years ago, he made a vow to never go down that road again. But when his past waltzes into his town, demanding his attention, he reacts without thinking and makes a very public display of kissing his best friend. Now Wynn is pretending to be his girlfriend to help him get back at his ex, and the feelings he’d sworn he turned off were starting to spark to life.

After walking in on her boyfriend in bed with another woman, Wynn Klein made herself a promise. Never again. She was done with men. When she walked into that coffee shop one morning to meet her best friend, she never expected Gage would wrap her in his arms and plant a knee-quaking kiss on her in front of the whole town. The request he whispered in her ear after sealed their fate: Just go with it.

When Wynn agreed to be Gage’s fake girlfriend, it was only supposed to be temporary. But thanks to meddlesome friends, an over-eager mother-in-law to be, and a conniving granny, things go so much further than they were intended.

The lines between reality and fiction are starting to blur, and Gage starts to see Wynn in a whole new light.

Now he just has to get her to that sweet spot where friends become lovers without freaking her out and sending her running for the hills.

••••

REVIEW:The end of Redemption is alas here, and I am so sad to see the series end, but what a way to go. This series is near and dear to me, finishing it was bittersweet. The final installment in the Redemption series; Sweet Spot is a small town, a fake relationship, friends to lovers, romance with drama, family and love. JP is a Goddess of the written word, and her work is always such a pleasure to read.

Gage and Wynn are best friends, they share drinks, laughs and live their best lives. Neither ever really sees the other as anything other than a pal to joke around with. When Gage’s past comes cruising into town with intentions of messing his life up, he does the first thing that comes to his mind to make it go away.

He kisses his best friend. He kisses Wynn.

I freaking LOVED this! For once; the FMC is the one doing the rescue and not waiting for someone to come in and save the day for her. Gage is the one in need of the help, his ex is back and Gage is in a place where Wynn is the only one to help him. Wynn is of course the one to help, She is his best friend after all. These two enter into a sweet, spicy romance that opens their eyes to each other in a whole new light. Redemption might be over, but the characters from this series will carry on, hopefully into a Legacy series. JP you still have my heart, you wonderful author you.

Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That’s why God created central air, after all.

Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy–she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says.

In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books–romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it’s a passion…there’s a difference. Not that she’d expect a boy to understand.

Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.

Sweet Sin (Bellamy Brothers 2) by Helen Hardt-review & excerpt tour

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Google Play / Apple /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 31, 2023

She’s his sweet sin…

Sweet Sin, an all-new tantalizing, romantic suspense, and the second book in the Bellamy Brothers series from New York Times bestselling author, Helen Hardt, is now available!

Ex-convict Falcon Bellamy served eight years for a crime he didn’t commit. Once he was free, he wasted no time hopping into bed with his parole officer. She was the salve he needed to soothe the demons from his incarceration and the worry for his sister who’s fighting a life-threatening disease.

But sweet Savannah Gallo has her own demons.

A member of a notorious crime family that robbed her of both her brothers, Savannah tried to leave her past behind. But a rival organization wants her, and they’ll stop at nothing. Savannah knows how to fight back, but she has an Achilles’ heel, and she’s determined to save him from another prison sentence.

Falcon is no stranger to sacrifice. He will keep Savannah out of harm’s way…and he’ll plow through anyone who tries to stop him.

••••

REVIEW:Sweet Sin is the second in the Bellamy Brothers series, and as always HH has a choke hold on me that I never want to end. You must read book one in the series; Savage Sin before reading this sweet baby, there is too much backstory, plus this book picks up when the first one ends.

Falcon “Savage” Bellamy served time in prison for a crime he didn’t do, so when he gets out all bets are off. Until Savvy throws herself into his life, and by that I mean ….”she came in like a wrecking call.” Never a truer statement. Savvy is Falcon’s parole officer, but that doesn’t stop his lusting after her. Soon enough they are tumbling away in the sheets.

With Savvy though, there is always more than meets the eye. She hides a past of secrets, trauma and pain. Falcon has been through his fair share of pain and trauma for two lifetimes, but Savvy is under his skin and he was born to be a protector, so if that has him wading into dirty waters, so be it. Even if it lands him back in the clinker.

Savvy and Falcon may have started off as a physical attraction, but their relationship quickly blossoms into something much more. Their story is one of forgiveness, emotional growth and oh so much spice. I can’t wait to see what else comes from this series.

FALCONSavannah jerks against me in the hot tub, opening her eyes, the water swishing around us.
“You okay, Vannah?”

“Yeah. I’m fine. I thought I heard something.”

“Probably just the dogs playing.”

“Right. It’s not like I could hear anything over the whirring of the jets anyway.”

She snuggles back into my shoulder and I hold her against me, loving the touch of her flesh on mine, until— She shoots her eyes open when Sydney barks.

“She’s barking, Falcon.”
“They’re just playing.”

“Right…”

But it’s not a playful bark. It’s—

I jerk away from her, standing.

You learn to sense things on the inside. You can be alone, your eyes closed, yet you know when someone is near. Someone who means you harm. It’s a sixth sense, and you can’t make it in prison without it.
And now? I feel it in my fucking bones—that ache in your marrow that helped our cavemen ancestors survive in the wilderness.

Someone’s here for me. My guns are inside the house in a safe. I’m not supposed to have firearms as a parolee, but that doesn’t matter in this moment. How the fuck do I get there, though?

How the fuck do I protect Savannah?

I glance to the only part of the pool house that has a lock —the changing room. She’ll be safe there, for now at least. “Savannah,” I say as quietly as I can over the hot tub. “See that door by the bar? It goes to the changing room. You go over there, slowly, close the door, and lock it.”

“What?” she gasps.

“Do as I say.”

“Falcon!”

“Damn it, Savannah. Do it now.”

She trembles as she steps out of the hot tub, walks to the bar, looking only straight ahead. She opens the door and closes it behind her.

Please remember to lock the deadbolt. I’m too far away to hear it click over the noise.

I exit the tub quietly, grab my jeans and stumble into them, leaving the rest. I’ve got only my fists and my wits to protect Vannah, and I don’t need the hindrance of clothes.

My hair is dripping over my shoulders as I leave the pool area, walk into my backyard.

Sammy runs toward me, but I have no choice but to shoo him away. Sydney stands by the fence, barking like a menace. She’s a mother protecting her pup, and right now that’s working in my favor.

Then I see them. Two muscled men—one blond and one dark-haired, both dressed in black—enter the backyard, both armed with pistols.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 30, 2023

I fell for my best friend long before I knew what that meant. Only I know he’ll never love me back.

He’s stuck in his head and his past demons and can’t see what is right in front of him.

But when Greer loses her home and needs a place to stay, both Noah and I know the only place she belongs is with us—in every way possible.

Now I’m falling for both of my roommates and trying to keep the people I protect safe.

Only someone is coming for them, and I can’t stop the inevitable fall.

I just have to hope that we made the right choices and that one day soon Noah and Greer will finally see who we can be.

Before we lose it all…or I finally walk away for good.

••••

REVIEW:Best Friend Temptation is the fourth installment in the Montgomery Ink Legacy series. Ashley always, I recommend reading the series in order, but the majority of CAR’s books can be read as a standalone. Think of this book as a best friends fall in love meets why choose sweet romance. If you’re a reader into that, well this is gonna be right up your alley!

Noah and Ford are best friends and roommates, but are completely in love with one another, but they’re men, and can’t see what’s in front of them. Neither can understand that they want one another, not until her.

Greer is the newbie in town, after opening her bakery in town she is on top of the world. That is until her house burns down and she is left with nothing but ashes. Noah and Ford are friends of hers and when she calls them for help afterwords, she is beyond grateful. Then they offer her their spare bedroom, and then things take a twist. Greer thinks Noah and Ford and together, and they are , but they just can’t seem to get that figured out. They want to be together, but Noah keeps pulling back. When the tension finally breaks between the three of them, they finally give into their desire and WOW!

CAR never disappoints with her books and this is no different. I love this series, the Montgomery’s are a family that sticks together. Noah, Ford and Greer are a fun, intriguing, faced passed and real. I can’t wait to see what comes next next.

Tyler “Hero” is the VP of the Heaven’s Rejects MC, he is just the kinda guy you picture when you think of a MC VP. Tall, dark and alpha. When these two meet you know there is a spark, but Hero is nervous about Dani, she has a look that he knows all too well. A look of secrets. She’s running and needs help, so what does he do?

Angels and Ashes is book two in the Heaven’s Rejects MC series by Avelyn Paige, and what a roller coaster. This book gave second chance romance meets MC alpha romance and I am all for it. Darcy is a character I wasn’t sure I was going to like at first, but as I read more of the book, her actions started to make more and more sense. Her husband, while he did love her, kept her away from the Heaven’s Rejects MC that he was a part of, so when he dies, she takes all her pain out on them. When Raze becomes more and more of her life, and by that I mean Darcy starts getting involved in things she most definitely should not, he swings in for the rescue. There is SO MUCH to this book that I don’t think I can fit it into a single review, but for MC just read it.

For a rough and tough motorcycle guy, Ratchet is pretty sweet in my opinion, plus he is determined to make her his. Ricca has a past that still haunts her to this day, and what she has the hardest time letting go of. Ricca has moments that I love, then she has others that I just want to shake her sane.

The story can be read as a standalone, but I promise, you will thank me later if you go back and read the first three. Voodoo is the nerd of the MC if you can believe it, but that doesn’t mean he is any less an alpha, because I can promise you he is. What do they say about the quiet one again? Presley and Voodoo are like fire and ice together, and wow, their story is hot! Presley is a character I didn’t see making it in a MC plot, but somehow she makes it work.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 19, 2023

No one could have prepared for the inferno that would ignite when they collided, least of all them.

Lucy

Seven years ago, I fled from a life where being a woman meant you were bound in shackles, and only dangerous and sadistic men held the keys.

I made a new life for myself and found the family I always needed in a group of outlaw bikers.

There’s only one problem—Jude Ashcroft. The man needles under my skin like no one else. When he goes low, I go to hell.

Until one night when my past catches up with me, and he saves me from the hell I barely escaped the first time.

But the trouble that found me that night was only the tip of the iceberg.

He doesn’t understand what or who he’s dealing with. He thinks he can protect me, but if I let him, true evil will come knocking, and it won’t come alone.

Jude

My life is simple, uncomplicated. The only things I care about are my brothers, my bike, and having no strings attaching me to any one woman. Everything is status quo, just how I like it.

Until Lucy. I’ve never met a woman more obstinate than the little demon. If cutting me down and showing me up were a sport, she’d have a gold medal in the pocket of those tight jeans.

She’s nothing I’ve ever wanted. Too mouthy, too opinionated, too… Lucy. Now I need to convince the part of me that craves a challenge, craves her fire.

She’s hiding something, though. I don’t know what, and I don’t know why. The only thing I do know is it’s going to bring trouble like we’ve never seen to my club.

But I’ll show her exactly what happens when someone tries to take what’s mine, because whether she likes it or not, that’s precisely what she is.

•••••

REVIEW:Jude by Kate Randall is book 2 in the Black Roses MC series. As always, I recommend reading a series in order, but it can be read as a standalone if the reader chooses. This is a motorcycle romance, and Readers should expect what comes with that, but it also has a new twist to it as well.

Jude and Lucy are a great, funny read that many readers will enjoy. Lucy is an independent woman, but has a past that she is trying to still deal with, Jude of course is an alpha male and overly protective. The banter between these two is funnier than most I have read, as the plot starts to unfold, and the characters to develop more, we get to slowly seeing more and more of their relationship.

I feel for Lucy, after all that she has been through, and making her new life better than the one she broke from. Kate Randall, is a newer author to me, but I can safely say that her books are definitely going to become a must read. The book ends on a slight cliffhanger, but don’t worry, Readers, Jude, and Lucy get their happily ever after. Who the next book is, only the author knows… But we all know who we want to be….

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 3, 2023

Olive Thornbury only had one crush in high school, and his name was Asher Gallo. She was smitten with him from the first time she had laid eyes on him. But instead of acting on how she felt, she kept her nose stuck in a book, finding safety in the words rather than emotions.

Asher had never thought of Olive as anything more than a friend. She was aloof, preferring to read books. instead of spending time with her friends. And when she moved away almost a decade ago, their friendship quickly disintegrated.

But when Olive returns to visit a local university, she never expected to run into a very grown up and even more handsome Asher. And what starts off as a rekindling of an old friendship turns into a fiery relationship.

Do the opposites have enough in common to go the distance? Or will their combustible chemistry cause the flames to turn everything into cinders?

REVIEW: The next Men of Inked: Heatwave installment is here with Cinder by the ever talented Chelle Bliss. This is a continuation of an extended series, but a majority of the books can be read as stand-alones.

The Gallo family are near and dear to me, they almost feel like family with how much time I have spent reading about them. With Cinder, we get Asher and Olive’s story. It’s a bit of a coming home story for me, Olive and Asher grew up together and she had all the feels for him. As life went on, they went their separate ways, but when they both return to their hometown and see each other again, who knows what will happen. Their story is a sweet, loving, meaningful story that readers are going to love.

For a Chelle Bliss book this was a little fast paced and didn’t leave enough room to develop the character fully, but nonetheless a really good addition to the Gallo series.
