UNFINISHED, the final book in the Amber Ridge series, is officially LIVE.

This story brings us full circle. It’s about the pasts we try to outrun, the secrets we keep to survive, and the kind of love that asks everything of us.

Bonnie ran from Amber Ridge thirteen years ago, carrying grief, guilt, and a heartbreak she never healed from. Coming back means facing the people she left behind and the truth that not everyone wants her to stay.

Zane has spent years rebuilding his life brick by brick, determined to never let his past destroy what he’s built again. But when Bonnie walks into his world, the walls he’s so carefully constructed start to crack.

✨ friends to lovers

✨ Former UFC hero

✨ Neighbors

✨ Return to home heroine

✨ Small town

✨ Suspense

They both want to forget their haunted pasts, but not all ghosts stay buried.

Thirteen years ago, Bonnie Hayes fled the only home she’d ever known, and everyone she loved, without a backward glance. She ran from the grief and pain of losing not only her parents, but her boyfriend…and the crushing guilt. But now she’s back, and she’s learning the hard way that time doesn’t heal all wounds. Even though she’s determined to face the people she left behind, some want her to disappear again—and they’ll go to great lengths to see it happen.

Former UFC fighter Zane Merrick is building a new life in Amber Ridge, far away from the hell he lived through in Billings. He’s built a busy gym from the ground up by keeping his head down and avoiding complications—especially ones like Bonnie. But when he realizes the woman lives just doors away, keeping his distance becomes impossible. And as they grow closer, he’s more and more aware they’re both keeping secrets. Even though Bonnie doesn’t know his past, someone else does, and that someone wants to expose him, ruining his fresh start—with both Amber Ridge and Bonnie.

As their pasts come crashing into the present, Zane and Bonnie are forced to confront people they’ve tried to outrun. Above all else, his priority is her safety…even if he loses his life in the process.

My ARC Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

Nyssa Kathryn has done a great job with the Amber Ridge Series and the characters are wonderful, just like all of her stories. I love how her books seamlessly move into the next series based on her characters and the story lines.

Bonnie has returned to her hometown after tragedy struck her in her teens and she felt as if she couldn’t breath in Amber Ridge any longer. Thirteen years of being on her own until her big brother reached out and encouraged her to come home. Her life isn’t perfect being back in Amber Ridge, but the local gym owner, Zane is making things bearable for her, as well as her family welcoming her back with open arms.

Zane has his own tragic past that he is trying to overcome, and when his two worlds collide, he’ll have to decide whether he can bring Bonnie into his life, or keep her at a distance. However, he may not get to make that decision on his own.

I loved this story and it was a great ending to the series. I look forward to more books by Nyssa in the future. She’s a favorite author of mine to read and her books never disappoint.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5

Their relationship was built on trauma, survival and sacrifice. However, they both just want to move on with their lives, but Aspen isn’t sure that’s possible after what she’s endured. Her own stubbornness put her and other in danger, how can she live with that and move on?

Asher is a man of honor and determination. He’ll do anything to help Aspen move on and find happiness again. She may be a different person, but he’ll be sure she survives.

I loved these two. Even after the trauma that Aspen has endured, she has to find a way to move on and live her life on her own terms and if she can break the fog of her trauma she will find that she has a lot of people that are willing the help her.

The new MC series is great! I love the characters and I can’t wait to read more.

Books are her favorite escape.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

Will they find common ground and second chance? Danger’s lurking in multiple ways, and Camille will have to decide whether the past can be forgotten and if she’ll let Mountain protect her, or if she’ll fight him and find herself hurt or worse. When danger finds Camille in California, and she has to return home because of danger lurking around her grannie, she’s faced with the one man that broke her and she’s not sure she can forgive him and let him protect her.

Raven’s Crest, Ohio holds secrets that date back many years. The townsfolk keep those secrets well hidden and close to their hearts. If they don’t the danger searching for them and showing up in their small town could destroy everything. When danger comes to town and focuses on grannie and the bakery in town, it will bring her granddaughter back home, the one woman that Mountain can’t forget and will protect with everything he has.

I loved this story and the characters are great! The small town of Raven’s Crest is a great town with so many things going on. I love the Kings of Anarchy MC, Raven’s Crest and can’t wait to read more of this unique MC and their small town. Nikki Landis has a great imagination and her stories never disappoint.

A paramedic for over ten years, Jo traded in her stethoscope for paper and pen after an injury left her unable to finish out her career.

She is an avid reader of anything dark and steamy and when she isn’t writing, you can find her making a rather large dent in her TBR.

She is a lover of strong but vulnerable heroines who find their own and hot, sexy alpha males who might be a tad bit over-possessive. Jo loves to lose herself in her characters and the flaws and darkness that surround them.

There is no shame found here, and she often gets lost when writing out those erotic, steamy scenes that make women’s (and men’s) fantasies come true.

“There is nothing like getting lost in something you know is wrong, but still can’t resist.”

Jo currently resides in the beautiful state of Washington with her two dogs.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

A rewrite of the Shattered World Series and it is dark! Check your triggers.

Jo McCall has brought the Dashkov Crime Family trilogy back with a re-write and it does not disappoint at all. It’s dark, depraved, and a page turner.

Matthias has taken his enemies daughter, Ava, as his. Her freedom has been taken from her more than once and she’s determined to find a life she can live without all of the drama and danger that she’s grown up with.

Great characters and a great story! I can’t wait to read the remaining books in the trilogy.

For a solid five years, Jasper Madden has done nothing but look the other way when it comes to Calliope Hodges. At first, she was way too young for him, barely eighteen the first time he laid eyes on her. It also didn’t help that he’d witnessed her at the lowest of lows, practically making peace with rock bottom.

But as time goes by, he realizes that Calliope is different. She’s a brave, stunning young woman that has slowly captured his heart while he was watching from the shadows.

He knows that it’ll take time for her to realize that he’s not the enemy, but instead her saving grace. So he decides to play the long game.

For years, he’s waited in the periphery for her to be ready. He stands right there, knowing that one day she’ll look up and finally see him as the man that is desperately in love with her.

But that chip on her shoulder keeps her from looking everywhere but his direction.

Luck finally leans his way when she moves in next door, and a battle of the neighbors ensues.

Where she sees war in the form of a friendly holiday decorating competition, he sees the opportunity of a lifetime.

All it takes is one bed, a freak snowstorm, and a Christmas miracle for her to realize that he’s been there all along. A silent knight in shining armor willing to take on the world just to make sure she never has to feel unworthy ever again.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

Jasper has kept his distance long enough. Now that she’s grown up and old enough, he won’t look the other way any longer.

I’ve loved the Content Advisory Series and the characters within it. Jasper was a great read and he’s a great character. I love Lani Lynn Vale’s books and how they all seem to have things that link them to each series. She moves seamlessly through one series to the next and keeps her readers and fans coming back for more with each books he writes. I can’t wait for the new series in 2026.

San Malo was supposed to be Cece Montgomery’s refuge after her messy divorce. Instead, it feels like a cage of gossip, family duty, and the shadow of her ex-husband, the mayor’s golden-boy son, parading his new girlfriend around town for the holidays.

Then Brayden “Bray” Cole rides in with his motorcycle club to drop off toys and refuses to leave. Dark, dangerous, and uninvited, he keeps showing up at the church, at the market, in her shadows, pulling Cece into a fire she swore she would never touch again.

Everyone warns her he will ruin her.

The mayor wants her shamed. Her ex wants her humiliated. Her father wants her redeemed.

But Bray wants her completely.

And this Christmas, Cece is ready to risk it all for the outlaw who will not let her go.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5

The Preacher’s daughter and the biker. Two very different paths in life, but they find that they work. Especially after Bray shows Cece how to find herself and bring her real self to light.

Cece has moved back home after a divorce from the Mayor’s son from her hometown. Knowing that she will be exposing herself to ridicule by the church women, from her father’s church, and the towns people that has her ex-husband’s family on a pedestal. When the church has trouble fulfilling it’s promise of Christmas meals and gifts for so many in need, Cece finds that the most unexpected person can be a the ones to open your heart to.

I enjoyed this story and the characters are great! It has all of the holiday surprise, the perfect amount of suspense and the right amount of steam that I look for in a book like this. Cece’s determination for bringing out her true self is great and it shows her strength. I look forward to more stories from Avelyn Paige to come.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5

I loved this story. Two people found each other in unlikeliest of places, just one of those right time, right place kind of stories.

Skid feels as though he’s missing something in his life and finds that something on his way home from work one night. As soon as he sees her he knows she’s the one.

Laken’s life has been hard. She had loving parents, but they struggled to get by while she was growing up. Then one mistake and her whole life was turned upside down and her struggles became a bit harder. But she was a determined woman and would make sure her daughter had a good life and knew that she was wanted and loved. When Laken meets Skid she’s not prepared for the man that he is, but she’s willing see where things can lead.

Great characters in the Satan’s Fury MC. I love the series and the characters and Skid’s story, though a little shorter, was great.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

I loved this second book in the Summit Hill Vipers series. I can’t wait for My Stepbrother Biker to come out. I am loving the characters in this series and I look forward to many more books to come with them in them.

This story was a quick, cute read and I loved Torque. It would be wonderful to see Noelle’s sister find one of these guys too.
