My job is to make women crave me, then use them for whatever benefits the Doughty Family.

McKenna Lowry was my childhood best friend and first love, but I pushed her away and hurt us both.

Now she’s back, and she knows all the secrets I’ve tried to keep hidden. She’s no longer running.

Instead, she’s claiming me as hers, the way she’s always been mine. But I can’t give my heart to her and my body to others…

Can I?

Together, we have to pull off one final job to destroy our enemies so we can leave this mafia lifestyle behind.

But with everything on the line, can we finally get our happily ever after, or will the lies shatter us in the end?

New Release – Chase the Storm (Road Trip Romance, Book 16) by A.K. Evans 4⭐Review below @AuthorAKEvans @GiveMeBooksPR




Title: Chase the Storm
Series: Road Trip Romance #16
Author: A.K. Evans
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Opposites Attract/Close Proximity
Release Date: January 9, 2024


BLURB

Indy Watson is desperate.

Life hasn’t always been unkind to her, but that’s probably because she’s always been cautious. She wasn’t looking for trouble, but over the last year, too much happened outside of her control. Everything had gone from bad to worse. And if Indy doesn’t want to spend the winter living out of her car—and possibly freezing to death—her only hope is landing a job at the local ski resort.

Griffin Ross doesn’t want for anything.

Part of that is because he built his fortune as a professional surfer, but it’s mostly because he doesn’t live a lavish lifestyle. Griffin lives for the adventure. That’s why he’s currently living out of his camper traveling all over the west coast wherever the snow is falling.

Under normal circumstances, it’s unlikely Griffin and Indy would have ever crossed paths. But when an avalanche traps the pair at a Colorado resort, the opposites find avoidance is impossible.

Within days, Indy finds herself struggling not to make all the same mistakes again. But Griffin is determined to show her that, sometimes, it’s okay to chase the storm.

A.K. Evans is a contemporary romance author of over forty published novels.

That might have something to do with the fact that she, along with her husband and two sons, can’t get enough of extreme sports. 

Before becoming a writer, Andrea did a brief stint in the insurance and financial services industry and managed her husband’s performance automotive business. That love of extreme sports? She used to drive race cars!

My Review:⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5

I loved Indy and Griffin’s story.

Snowed in and unable to get away from the mountain, Indy has to find a way to keep busy until she can get back down the mountain road that has been blocked off from the snow storm. She’s not a skier or boarder, but she was interviewing for a job. Her life has changed so much within the past few months and she is desperate to get her life back on track. An unexpected encounter with a guy that is on the mountain for the snow could be what she needs to find her way back and get her life back on track.

Griffin lives for the extreme. He’s a professional surfer during the summer months and a snow boarder in the winter. He looks for snowfalls that he knows will be great to board on and travels to the mountains early so that he can get on the new snow as soon as possible. HIs life is his own, although he is very close with his parents and visits them during the winter months between chasing the snow storms. His life is great, but when he meets Indy and gets to know her while she’s stranded on the mountain, he finds that maybe he’s been missing something.

I really enjoyed this story and I loved the characters. Their path to an HEA wasn’t easy, but they were determined and found a way. They also learned that compromise and sacrifice could be worth it. Enjoyable read and I look forward to more in the Road Trip Romance series by A. K. Evans.

Broken Falls Book 1 – Boone by Laramie Briscoe – Available Now. Read my 5⭐ review!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐ 5 out of 5

It’s a great start to a new series and great characters by Laramie Briscoe!

Boone is convinced he’ll be a bachelor for life, but fate has other plans for him. He’s just not ready for the woman that pops into his life, but it doesn’t take a lot of convincing for him to make a move.

Alexis is an independent young lady that has just graduated from college and is working two jobs to pay her bills. She can’t seem to catch a break on a job. Every place she applies that will let her use her college degree by passes her and denies her a job. Now she has to work in the family business and at the local lumber yard where she has to deal with rude, unpredictable customers on a daily basis and she’s not sure how much longer she’ll last.

She’s noticed the sexy contractor that has come into the lumber yard and the bar, but she knows he’s out of her league and she’s not as experienced as him, so doesn’t have a chance. However, when he starts flirting with her she’s not going to let the opportunity pass her by, so she starts flirting back and it pays off.

I enjoyed this story and I look forward to more to come.

🔥COVER REVEAL! 🔥Grim by J.L. Drake releases March 5! #HavocofSins




Title: Grim
Series: Havoc of Sins #1
Author: J.L. Drake
Genre: Billionaire Dark Romance
Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Mafia/MC Romance
Cover Design: TRC Designs
Release Date: March 5, 2024


BLURB

Many sins lay in the creases of my hands. Darkness and corruption are part of my life.

After hints from my brother that all is not right with the family business, I leave Mexico and return to Vegas. I have a responsibility to protect what’s ours, no matter the price or who gets in the way. Those who don’t fall in line will soon realize why I’m called The Vegas Reaper.

I demand order and obedience, so when I come head-to-head with our beautiful new hire, I’m faced with an unusual challenge, one that infuriates yet intrigues me.

When my hotel goes up in flames, my anger flares along with it. I pull on my cut and join The Devils Reach. The desert ride pays off, but there’s more at play here than I ever imagined, and I’m caught in a chess game of power from an unseen force. Deception, secrets, and chaos threaten my world. Could our new hire hold the key to it all?
___________

Warning: This story is meant to be read in the reading order that can be found in my Amazon bio and website. There is a heavy crossover from my Devil’s Reach Trilogy through the Quiet Mafia Series, and my Dark Water Series, where Grim is first introduced.

This is intended for 18+, violent, may contain trigger warnings, and of course…ends with a cliffhanger.

🔥 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐭 (𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡) by Bella J. is releasing in TWO DAYS!! While we wait for the release, check out the excerpt below! @BellaJ_Author

𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐭 →

Closing my eyes, I stand still and concentrate. My breathing, my heartrate. I totally tune in to my body and my surroundings. The sounds of the night. The feel of my pulse, the rush of adrenaline. My mask. The mindset of the wolf. The masterful hunter, sleek and cunning. Bloodthirsty and dedicated to its prey.

“Ready or not, Rabbit, here I come.”

I stalk forward, my every step a calculated advance toward Rabbit. My movements are silent as I listen for her, her soft footfalls, her scared little rabbit energy.

Rabbit’s smart. She’s going to circle around and try and watch me, come after me. That’s one of the things I’d do, and she’s got the same killer instinct in her.

Unfortunately for her, she’s untrained in those particular arts. She’s pure instinct, so I also need to counter for the expected unexpected. She might run, but it won’t be that far if she does.

I’m both danger and safety. The car is safety, but I’ve got her keys, wallet, gun, phone, and coat.

Yeah, I’m stacking the deck in my favor.

In the opposite direction, the street she ran down heads into a cluster of well-lit condos. The houses provide more cover, so I choose a strategic spot and crouch, my muscles coiled like a predator ready to strike. I wait, my heart pounding in anticipation as I plot my next move.

A sound catches my attention, and I go completely still.

There. Across the street.

A flash of white. A rabbit mask.

She’s fucking good. She sticks mainly to the shadows and her shoes are off, rendering her silent. Rabbit moves like a hunter in prey clothing, and it fucking excites me. I’m hard as I try to focus on her in the dark.

A cat yowls and dashes out and across the street.

She doesn’t make a sound.

But she’s there, edging forward.

I can just make her out now. She’s heading to where she can see the car.

I don’t follow yet.

Rabbit slips through a gate and into someone’s property. There aren’t any lights on, just the one from the porch, but she’s not heading up there. She’s making her way across the grounds, keeping close to the fence.

Clever little rabbit.

I follow, moving fast and silently. I skirt up and around and come down behind her as she reaches a gate. She stops and frantically looks around. Can’t see the wolf, can you, baby? She senses me, though, and shoots off running to the right.

I walk to where she just stood and inhale. I can smell her perfume. Her fear. It’s sweet, but her excitement is even sweeter.

I let out an almost maniacal laugh, my heart pounding, and I give chase.

The sound of my feet hitting the ground echoes through the night, spurring Rabbit on even more. She runs with a grace and speed that is truly magnificent. But there’s no way she can outrun me.

I can hear her breathing, feel her fear, her excitement. It fuels me, thrills me.

I’m getting closer now, closing in on her with every passing second. I could end this game right now if I wanted to, but I don’t. I want to keep playing, to keep her guessing. I want her to feel that rush of exhilaration, that sensation of being alive.

“Come on, Rabbit,” I call after her. “Give me everything you’ve got.”

She stumbles and falls forward onto the grass, and I take that as my cue to pounce. She tries to get up, but I grab her waist and pull. Without a word, I slap my hand over her mouth and pull her against me. She struggles, but her heart thumps hard and her ass comes in against my cock. It’s electric. Pure fucking sex.

“Got you, Rabbit. Punishment time. On your fucking knees.” I don’t give her a chance to do anything but obey as I tangle my hand in her hair and push her to her knees.

She could use her word.

Of course, she fucking doesn’t.

Maybe I should push her a little more.

I pull the gun from my back, and her eyes behind the hot as fuck bunny mask go wide. Flicking off the safety, I place the muzzle against her temple. Fear burns in those beautiful crystal irises of hers.

“Got something you wanna say, Rabbit?”

Her lips part, and for a second I’m sure she’s going to say it. Savage.

But instead, she licks her lips and shuts them.

Good God, she’s magnificent. One of my favorite things about Poppy? Her sheer, fucked-up defiance.

Review of Erik’s Redemption (Beautiful Pieces Book 2) by Nyssa Kathryn

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

I’m not sure how, but it seems like each book, no matter the series, gets better with each book I read by Nyssa Kathryn. Erik’s Redemption was not different.

Erik’s job is off the books and h’s never regretted it, he still doesn’t regret his job, but he does regret one. Not the actual job because it was necessary, but the pain it has caused the one woman he loves more than life itself.

Hannah has no idea why Erik is pulling back from her now. She thought they were in a great place, but she knows something is wrong and can’t get him to talk to her. When danger comes knocking on her door, again, he’ll have to push his regrets aside and make sure that Hannah is safe. When secrets come out their relationship could be over. However, there may be more to the story.

I loved this second installment to the Beautiful Pieces trilogy and I can’t wait for Erik’s Refuge.

MY REVIEW: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

I loved Grace! Her sass, strength, confidence, and whit were all perfect!

I’ve read a few of the Southern Wedding Series books now, but this book sucked me in from the first page and the next think I knew it was 1:30 am. I hated to put it down to go to bed, but I did.

Grace drew me in first and her response to Caine on her first day of work was awesome! I loved this book even from the first chapter and the family dynamic that is the series.

Grace and Caine had a fiery connection even if they didn’t know it at first. Their constant banter and their eventual realization were great throughout this book.

I love the characters in this series and Grace, Caine and Meadow are perfect as a unit. I loved Nash too, he was a great comedic relief that was needed at times. Great story!

Malcolm just never expected his plan would lead him to love.

MY REVIEW: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 OUT OF 5

Naughty Heart is the beginning of The Westwoods Series. It’s a good story to start the series and I can’t wait to see what comes next.

Malcom Westwood enjoys his life as it is. He can do what he wants, when he wants, but his parents are tired of waiting for him to grow up and take the position he’s been groomed for and run the company. They are wanting to retire and let Malcom take the helm, but if he can’t see that his playboy lifestyle is holding him back, his parents are ready to give him an ultimatum. However, he’s known that his future has always included running the family business.

As if things couldn’t get any worse for Evelyn Fisher, her struggles have just gotten bigger and with the holidays right around the corner, she’s desperate to find a job. While looking she’s not prepared for the craziness that will become her life.

I really enjoyed this story of a playboy and the girl that just wants to survive life. Evelyn is desperate and even when she finds out the truth behind Malcom’s job offer, she’s prepared to continue the charade so that she can make ends meet. I enjoyed the story and the I loved the characters. Evelyn is stronger than she thinks she is and her life needs a little luck now. I can’t wait to read more of The Westwoods Series to come and to see where A.K. Evans takes us next.

Oracle: Cerberus MC, Book 30 by Marie James – 5 ⭐ Review

Oracle (Cerberus MC Book 30)Oracle by Marie James
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The heart wants what the heart wants. You can say that you’ll never fall in love or that soulmates aren’t real, but fate can prove you wrong many times.

Oracle was a determined bachelor and wasn’t looking for a woman to love or to get married, but one night in a bar, fate found herself matchmaking and putting two people together that didn’t even know each other. She also found a way to prove to Oracle that his bachelorhood was not for him to decide.

Beth wasn’t looking for a man to marry her, but fate gave her the opportunity to escape her little town and give her a fresh start, so why not take it if she can? Beth knew that if things went sideways again for her, that she’d never be able to remain in her hometown, but Oracle was a man that couldn’t help but care about Beth even if he didn’t remember the night they shared.

I loved this story and as always, I love the characters in the Cerberus MC books. They’re funny, strong, determined and very loyal. I can’t wait to see where things go in the future for the Cerberus MC. Each book seems to get better the further we delve into these guys. I loved it!

Hawke and Edana’s story: My Review of Twelve Beats Strong: Knights Corruption MC Novella

Twelve Beats Strong (Knights Corruption MC Novella)Twelve Beats Strong by S. Nelson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love the Knights of Corruption MC characters and Hawke and Edana’s story was a great addition to the series. It was a short and enjoyable read.

Hawke and Edana have come full circle now and are more mature. They’re older and more settled, so why does Hawke fear putting a ring on Edana’s finger? It’s taken these two some time to come to where they are now, with tragedy in their past and the growth they’ve gone through they are in a better place now and deserve that happiness. Hawke just needs to reach out and grab it.

I enjoyed the short read and I look forward to so much more of the Knights Corruption MC characters to come.
