Everyone deserves to be loved and cared for, no matter who they are.

Chloe and Zain have an obsessive, honest love for each other. Their lives are intertwined in ways that are hard to understand. They may not have conventional lives, or the clearest minds, but their souls are connected and if they can’t be with each other they can’t breathe. Zain’s comparisons of how he misses Chloe are great, “I miss her like fire would miss burning everything in its path. I miss her like a serial killer who doesn’t get to kill. I miss her like the heart would miss blood”.

I love all of the characters in the Ruthless books, whether it’s the Ruthless Kings or the Ruthless Asylum books. They are characters that feel as if you would love to have them as a part of your life. If you don’t know them, you want to know them. While the characters in the Ruthless Asylum books have some type of mental illness, they are characters that draw you in and make your life more fulfilling. K. L. Savage writes great characters that stay with you long after you’ve read their story. I love Zain and Chloe and their love story is epic. The world may think that Zain and Chloe should be cared for, but they may the sanest people around. They see the world through the eyes of victims and the darkness around them, but they live simple lives and are happy as long as they are left alone. While the characters in the Ruthless Asylum series are considered escapees, they are living life to its fullest and they have the Ruthless Kings to guide them, help them, and protect them. They’re part of the family, some by blood, but most by choice. I love the scene with Tool and Zain, “The ghost is clear”. I thought this was the funniest explanation of the use of this statement. I give this book a 5-star review and am so excited for more books by K.L. Savage.

This was such a great book to go along with the Mayhem Series. It was so enlightening, entertaining, awe inspiring, and it may be my favorite so far of the Mayhem Series. I love Shawnee Daniels and her interactions with Mr. Mayhem and Poe. This story was so much more than I was expecting, and I loved every bit of it.

Shawnee’s life is in more danger than she’s ever been in this fourth book in the Mayhem Series, but she’ll get guidance and help from the most unexpected people. She’ll learn that her life was not what she thought, and she will be led to a new path in life. Her relationship with Mr. Mayhem will reach a point of dangerous proportions and they will have to figure out how to proceed when truths are brought to light. This book is such a turning point in Shawnee’s life, and I can’t wait to see where she goes from here. I love the characters in this book and series and with the addition of Shicheii, I am excited to see what knowledge Shawnee will learn as she gets to know him more. This book had me laughing at Shawnee’s cats, but it also had me crying with loss and the enlightening of Shawnee and her past, as well as being anxious with Levaughn on his search for Shawnee and her best friend Nadine. I give this book a 5-star review and can’t wait for more of Shawnee Daniels and Mr. Mayhem. If you like books in the murder suspense genre with great characters and sassy, independent women that find themselves in all kinds of trouble, you will love Sue Coletta’s books.

Calla just wants to find someone that loves her and will show her what love is. She’s attracted to Jace, her brother in-laws’ best friend, but she’s also afraid of him.

Jace has been attracted to Calla since the first time he saw her in the diner on Christmas Day. He knows she’s afraid of him, but he does his best to make himself appear smaller and not as intimidating as she sees him.

I enjoyed this story, although it is tragic, the build to the relationship between these two is great. Calla has suffered a tragic childhood and has to find her strength within to move on and find a path of love in her future. After the abuse she’s suffered, it takes a lot for her to put herself in a position where she can have her heart shredded, but Jace proves that he is worth it. Jace is a man that wants to show Calla that she is not damaged and that she is loved and worth the love that her sister and father have for her. She has to find a way to move on and Jace wants her to open up and be truthful with her family. I liked the characters and the strength that they find within themselves and the love they have to give. I give this story a 4.5-star review.

An arranged marriage for a seat at the table that is a dangerous pairing.

Shay O’Reagan is the King of the Northern Ireland O’Reagan mafia family. He wants to find a way to bring the families together and a cease fire between the North and the South, his proposal of an alignment with his family in the South brings him to an arranged marriage. He has a lot of work ahead of him though as there many factions that don’t want this alignment or cease fire. Shay is also looking for revenge for the death of his younger brother and the path of his death will lead Shay down a dark path.

Emma Murphy has thought for years that she would be marrying Jack O’Reagan, but a curve ball has been thrown and she has just discovered that she’ll be marrying not only an O’Reagan, but a Northerner, and her family has no use for the Northerners. She has heard a lot of stories and has an idea of how they are and what her life will be like married to Shay O’Reagan. Her eyes will be opened but to many things, not just that the Northerners are not the way she has always thought. She’s a strong-willed redhead that has been told she’s as stubborn as a donkey backing up.

I loved this second book in The Young Irish Rebels Series. Shay is a dark, ruthless ruler that knows that he has to be this way unless he wants to be killed. He is not prepared for Emma Murphy though and the betrayal of the people around him will shake his world as well as his faith in those he has relied on for a long time. Now he has to forge a way to his future and find a way to keep himself and his new fiancé safe. Emma has many hidden talents that she learned from her older brother Noel. She can see the real Shay and that’s the man that wants. This story is rife with betrayal, backstabbing, and deceit, but it’s also full of action and great characters. I still don’t trust Liam O’Reagan. I love Shay and Emma, and I think that so far, my favorite character is Shay. He may be a leader and ruthless man, but he has such a strong vulnerability when it comes to his brother and Emma. I give this story a 5-star review and I am looking forward to more in the series.

Andrew Cortell, the last of the Cortell brothers to find his other half is finally dragged off the market. His comical love story was the last of the Cortell brothers’ books, but not the last of the characters in the series. Thank you for that!

Lorelei Henning is a woman looking for a new lease on life away from all of the drama and pain of her past. She needs to make new friends and get the people of the small town she moved to on her side and what better person to start with than the sexy guy giving advice about paint colors to a woman in the hardware store?

I have loved the Cortell brothers and their family since the first book with Eric and Kat’s story. These boys sure know how to drive their mother crazy and entertain their entire town along the way. Andrew’s love story is full of crazy circumstances, funny situations that include the entire family, tragedy and misunderstandings. I love the characters in the stories and the situations these guys seem to find themselves in on so many occasions, but most of all, I love the loyalty, kindness, loving family that the Cortell’s are and the women that complete each of these men. Jack got a little out of hand, but that’s to be expected, and I really hope his book is coming soon. I really want to get inside his head and hope that he finds his way back to the man he was. I love reading these books because they always bring out so many emotions, mostly humor, but there are also some tears. I loved the ending of the book and I think it was probably one of the best endings I’ve read in a long time. I give this book a 5-star review and will be watching for more books by Ms. Lagomarsino. I’ve loved every book I’ve read by her.
