Title: TNT
Series: Reed Security Series
Author: Giulia Lagomarsino
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: May 18, 2020
After walking into his girlfriend’s house and finding her murdered, Tony is struggling to get back to normal. Everyone’s looking at him like he’s damaged, but they don’t know the truth. And when they find out, they won’t ever look at him the same again. But a one night stand changes everything. Suddenly, everyone at Reed Security is trying to set Tony up with this crazy woman that can’t cook, shows up at his work, and calls him at all hours of the night. He doesn’t want to hurt her, but how long is a man supposed to go along with a crazy person that thinks there’s a relationship where there isn’t one?
 
After meeting Tony one night, Molly knows without a doubt that he’s the man for her. He’s everything she’s been waiting for, and she’s not going to let this opportunity slip through her fingers. She knows that he’s slightly damaged and dealing with a lot, but with a little encouragement from Tony’s teammates, she refuses to let him push her away. She has a whole arsenal of tips and tricks to keep a man’s attention, and with her momma’s advice and her best friend’s help, there’s no way she’ll fail. Now she just has to make Tony see that what they have is forever.
“Uh…you know, this isn’t working,” I said briskly.

She tilted her head, all cute like and looked at me in confusion. “What do you mean?”

“Us…whatever this is. It’s not going to work. You’re nice and all, but it’s just not working.”

I waited for the tears and the drop of her face. I braced myself for the yelling and name-calling. But no matter how much I steeled myself for her reaction, I just wasn’t ready for what she actually said.

“Hmmm. Well, I appreciate your input, but I think it’s going good. Pop tarts?”

“What?”

“I’m sticking some in the toaster. Want some?”

I blinked several times, shook my head, and even slapped my own face, but nothing changed. She was still standing in front of me, asking me if I wanted fucking pop tarts after I just broke up with her. She actually refused to break up with me. Could that really happen? Did I not get a say in this? And if so, was I destined to just be with her the rest of my life? I’d never been in this position before. I’d never had a woman refuse to let me break up with her. What was the protocol for this? Did I just go along with it? Maybe I should just not return her calls. Of course, that hadn’t really worked so far. She always showed up, with food.

“Honey?” She quirked her head to the side and smiled sweetly at me. “Pop tarts?”

Shaking my head, I tried again. “I’m serious, Molly. I’m breaking up with you. I don’t want to be with you anymore. It’s been fun, but let’s just end this now.”

“I hear you. I really do, and while I think you make some not very valid points, I’m going to pretend like what you said makes total sense. But we’re not breaking up. You’re just freaking out and you want to end this before it gets too real. I get it, but we’re still not breaking up.”

And with that, she turned around and left the room. I stared at the floor, trying to figure out what to do next. How the fuck had this happened? Was I being too sweet? I mean, I was never too sweet. I was never that guy that women felt they could walk all over. Yet, here I was, standing alone in my pretend girlfriend’s bedroom as she walked out after telling me we were not breaking up.

This was not happening. She couldn’t make me stay with her. She couldn’t force me to date her. I wasn’t some chump. I was Tony-fucking-Tacos. I groaned and rolled my eyes at myself. I was not Tony Tacos. I was something much cooler. I wasn’t even Mexican, and if I was honest with myself, I didn’t even like tacos all that much. Not that I would tell Molly that. She had been really sweet yesterday, bringing me food at work because she thought tacos were my favorite. 

I cursed myself for thinking of her as sweet when I was trying to break up with her. Damnit, I would not be forced to date a woman that I really liked. Fuck, I was screwed. I marched into the kitchen and slapped my hand down on the countertop.

“Listen, Molly, this is over between us. I’m not going to let you tell me that we’re not breaking up, because we are so breaking up. I’m walking out that door and you will not follow me. You will not bring me food at work, and you will not call me later tonight to ask where I am. Do you know why?”

She smiled at me. “Because you think we’re breaking up.”

“Yes. No!” I shouted. “I don’t think we’re breaking up. We are in actuality breaking up. It’s for sure. Not a possibility or a probability. We are one hundred percent broken up, as of right now,” I said, punctuating the statement by punching the counter with my pointer finger.

She nodded, her eyes wide with a very serious expression on her face. “I hear you. I want you to know that I really do hear you, but it’s just not possible for us to break up. We have that dinner with Momma and Daddy tomorrow, and they already planned dinner. Momma did all her shopping and got everything we could possibly need for your favorite dinner.”

“What dinner?” I asked hesitantly.

“Tacos,” she grinned.

“Fucking hell,” I said, throwing my hands up in the air. “I’m not even fucking Mexican!”

I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Oh myyyy! This story was hilarious. It had it’s sad, scary and dark parts, but I was laughing so hard at Tony Taco’s story.

Tony Russo is fairly new to the Reed Security group. He’s dealing with his guilt over the recent death of the woman he was sleeping with. They weren’t in love; they were bed mates. He wishes everyone would stop treating him with kid gloves because of her death. He feels guilty enough without trying to explain the situation to them.

Molly Erickson is a naïve young woman who is quirky, eccentric, and bulldozes her way into Tony’s life after one night together. Tony doesn’t remember the connection they had on the first night they met, and Molly seems to be a psycho stalker.

I loved this story!! It was so out there and hilarious that I had to cover my mouth laughing while reading it because my husband had gone to bed. I stayed up past my bedtime to read this book and I regret nothing. It is laugh out loud funny. Tony and Molly’s relationship is so off the charts out there that you are wondering if Molly really is psycho. It all made sense when I got to the part where Tony remembered the first time they met. His complete turnaround and his realization are what make sense to the story. He is so afraid of losing someone else he cares about that he subconsciously has blocked the first night that he and Molly met. The men of Reed Security take things a bit too far with Molly while messing with Tony though and things get a bit rocky for a short time. If you are looking for a lighthearted read, with a little heavy in it, enjoy reading about a group of men who treat each other like brother, then you will love this book and series. These men and women are loyal to each other and are a true family, no matter how out there they can be at times. They are fun to read, passionate about their loved ones and will go to any length to keep each other safe. I give this story a 5-star read and look forward to more in the series.

Release and Review: The Beast of Boston by JL Mac @EJBookPromos @JLMacbooks

Title: The Beast of Boston
Author: JL Mac
Genre: Mob Romance (Dark)
Release Date: May 19, 2020
Cover Design: Robin Harper, Wicked by Design

“This is Beast. Beast is the size of a Volkswagen and has an impossible amount of buds and blooms. Beast also has thorns. But if you can sneak close enough to catch a whiff, and avoid the gnarly thorns, you’ll be ruined for all the other roses for the rest of your life. The sweetest, most addictive scent amongst the thorns.” 
 
That’s what mom told my little sister and I once. She led us close enough to look but no further as she spoke of her favorite rosebush that she had affectionately named Beast.
 
That was a long time ago. 
 
These days I know another Beast. A different kind of wild, untamed thing. He too is dangerous to get too close to. It’s unfortunate that I can’t afford to care, not when he’s the key to finding my sister. 
 
They called him The Beast of Boston when he was a professional boxer. Now he rules over a bunch of criminals—the same criminals I hope will lead to my sister. I won’t stop until she’s found. I’ll get as close to Beast as it takes, gnarly thorns and all. 
 
The problem is I’m so busy worrying for my own physical safety that I never considered how my heart would behave. Mom was right about one thing: I am ruined for all the roses for the rest of my life and it’s much too late to change it now.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

A story of betrayal, loyalty, loss and family. He’s The Beast, he’s dark, dangerous, and not at all what she expected.

Ena was raised in a foster home until she was ten years old. She never knew her mother or father. She was told a story about her mother and when she finally moved in with a family that showed her love and what family was, she decided to keep her last name in case her mother came looking for her when she got older. Little did she know that her whole life had been a lie and due to extenuating circumstances, her life was about to change completely, and she could just hold on for the ride.

Carrick “The Beast of Boston” had a tough life as a child and when he was fifteen his life changed, and he found his calling. He put his anger and energy into fighting in the ring and became a legend in the boxing world. As he got older, he had to stop boxing and step up to help in the family business. After his father died when he was fifteen, Beast was taken in by his father’s boss, Orin, the boss of the Irish Mafia in Boston. Now he had to step up and become the second in command for Orin and the family. Beast is only loyal to his family and when a woman walks into his club and puts herself in his life, she turns it upside down and he has no idea what’s going to come next.

I loved the characters in this story. Ena is brave, strong, determined, and loyal to those she cares about. Beast is the same way with his family. These two had chemistry off the charts, but they both tried to deny it for their own reasons. When the truth of Ena’s reasons for infiltrating Eden come out and her true identity comes to light, they both have to struggle with what is right and determine where to go from there. The story is full of action, steamy chemistry, and great characters. I give the story a 5-star review. This was my first read of Jaimi Shannon, but I really enjoyed her book and would look for more if there were more on these characters. I would love to read Alana and Murphy’s story. I think Alana has a lot to tell. If you like action packed mafia stories you will love this book. It does have a dark side but is written well and makes the whole story.

Once upon a time she became mine.
Mine to destroy.
I used to have it all.
Successful career.
Loving husband who adored me.
A future full of possibilities.
A perfect fairytale nothing could break.Until one day, life as I knew it was crushed into tiny little pieces.
I was charged with a murder I didn’t commit.
And no matter how much I begged for justice, no one believed me.
Least of all the man who promised to stand by me through anything.

 

And the husband of the woman I allegedly killed?

He vowed for me to live in a hell on earth–and even then it wouldn’t be enough to atone for my sin.

His words rang in my ears every single day as life became an endless nightmare.
With time, I grew to hate him so much my heart burned from it.

Until three years later new evidence was found.
And everyone believed my truth.

I might be free but I’m still part of a twisted game the monster is playing.
And the only way I can survive in it?
Trust a man who I promised to hate till my last dying breath.

About the Author:
V.F.Mason always loved reading books and had quite a few fights with her momma over the genre she liked (romance, duh!) She studied filmmaking and thought that would feed her desire for stories, but that didn’t happen. Finally, when she was tired of all those voices in her head, she sat down and wrote a book. It was a huge decision to make and she thanks her friends and family for supporting her in it. When she is not writing, she can be found with her friends doing all sorts of crazy things or reading recent romance books that were written by her favorite authors.

Blurb
Seven years ago, they took everything from me. My father. My husband. My child.
When they stole my chance at justice, I vowed to get revenge.
Then I met him.

Trailer
Excerpt
Death. 
Heartache. 
Vengeance. 
This isn’t a tale for the tender-hearted, the judgmental, or those who refuse to think outside the box and look at the broader picture. Those who think that everything is black and white. Simple. Cut and dried. 
It’s not. There’s always shades of gray. 
It’s easier to say “I’d never” when you’re sitting safely at home with the people you love most right by your side. When grief hasn’t woven itself so deeply in the fabric of your DNA that it can never be unraveled. There can be no separation. And even if you tried, it would only result in you becoming a frayed and tangled mess.
It’s easy to say you’d never walk the treacherous moral tightrope. But you aren’t the one who plummeted to the depths of hell, littered with the agony of loss and the anger of injustice, and had to claw your way out.
This story isn’t scrawled on pristine white pages in bold black ink. Marred, torn, and blood-spattered, its chapters hold deep gouges inflicted by betrayal. 
This story is about a woman who had everything taken from her.
And how she took it all back.

My Review: 

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Wow! If you like a story with a bada** woman who wreaks vengeance and destruction on those that destroyed her world, you will love this story. If you love a strong woman who finds a way to survive despite the destruction she has lived through, you will love Caitlyn, she’s strong, dangerous, and has a soft spot for those that need a helping hand.

“Always be aware of your surroundings.”

She was raised in the gun and pawn shop, she knows how to shoot, load ammo, shoot a bow and arrow, and she knows she was loved all of her life. Now she has a family of her own and a little girl, Willow, that has just received her first bow. Her marriage is struggling, but her life is good otherwise. That is until danger came knocking on their door and a threat was made. She’s the only survivor of a deadly attack on the shop that she and her father run along with her husband. Caitlyn Ashford is helpless to do anything to save her family. When she tries to get justice through the legal system for the hit on her family, she finds herself in a situation that she never saw coming and now she’s on the run from the law as well as dealing with her loss.

He’s a hired gunman, a man who lives and works alone. He’s been hired by the Dixie Mafia to find the culprit responsible for the death of so many members of the Dixie Mafia. He’s known as The Hunter and he always gets his target. However, this time his target will be more of a challenge than most others have been in the past. He’ll find himself in a situation where he has to make a choice and figure out which way is the right way to go. He’s deadly, dangerous, dark, and scarred.

I absolutely loved this book. I did cry at some stages, but this book was full of suspense, action, dangerous characters, and an ultimate betraying twist. I was on the edge of my seat reading it and hated to put it down for any reason. It pulled me in from the first page and gripped my attention until the end. There were very few lulls in this story. It’s an easy read and the pages turned quickly, but it was so detailed and full of action that it was difficult to see the end of the story. I give this book a 5-star review and highly recommend it to readers who are looking for something to thoroughly entertain you. It’s a bit heavy, but so worth reading. The characters are deep and so well written that they steal your heart.

I love the quote in the beginning of the book: “You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have.” – Bob Marley

Alpha (noun):

1) Having the highest rank in a dominance hierarchy

2) The most powerful man in a group

3) Liam Black

He was a stranger to me, a dark and dangerous presence who materialized from the shadows one rainy night to save me from a vicious attack. I didn’t know his name or where he was from. All I knew was that the only place I’d ever felt safe was in his arms.

But safety is an illusion.

And not every savior is a hero.

And—as I’d soon find out—having an alpha save your life comes with a price.

Liam Black wanted something from me in return.

Excerpt

I stare at him, incredulous. “Are you telling me you think this is a good idea?”

“No.”

“Then what?”

“I don’t know. Maybe nothing.”

His pause is loaded, and I know he’s carefully choosing his words.

“But she was about to get shot—or worse—and she fought back. You saw it yourself. On the ground, outnumbered, beat up, gun in her face, she throws a punch instead of all the other things she could’ve done. Begging for mercy. Giving up. Crying.”

He lets it hang there, knowing I have enough personal memories of men far stronger than she doing exactly that.

“So she’s a fighter,” I say, aggravated, yanking on the knot on my tie because it suddenly feels like a noose. “That doesn’t make it right.”

“Aye,” he agrees, nodding. “But maybe it makes it a little less wrong.”

I glare out the window, muttering a curse. I can’t believe he’s saying this. Him, of all people. I expected him to be silently seething with disapproval, not taking her side.

Not admiring her.

“You’ve been alone a long time, Liam. If you were careful—”

My temper breaks. I glare at him and thunder, “I won’t risk her life!”

Declan’s expression doesn’t change. His grip stays loose on the steering wheel, his gaze doesn’t dart away in panic. He simply meets my eyes in the mirror and tells me a devastating truth.

“You say that like you haven’t already.”

I grit my teeth and look out the window, hating that he’s right. Hating myself for letting it get this far.

I had a chance, when all I was doing was memorizing her profile while she poured me bad coffee. Before I knew the particular way she falls asleep. What her skin smells like after a shower. How her body feels pressed against mine.

How deeply satisfying it feels to protect her.

No, more than satisfying—fulfilling.

As if it were the thing I was born to do.

But I can’t undo what I’ve done. I can’t go back to that first day I saw her eleven months ago, helping an old woman cross a busy boulevard, stopping traffic by holding up her hand as the light turned from red to green. I can’t unfeel what I felt when she glanced up and our eyes met through the windshield for a moment before she turned her attention back to the old woman doddering by her side.

She was beautiful, but I’ve seen a thousand beautiful girls.

Never one who looked so fierce, though.

With her jaw set and her mouth pinched and her brows drawn together, she looked like she’d rip the head off anyone who dared to honk his horn at the painfully slow progress she and her elderly friend were making.

She was a lioness. Even without opening her mouth, I heard her roar.

So yes, it was simple curiosity that made me tell Declan to pull over. Yes, it was on a whim that I watched her wave goodbye to the old woman when they reached the other side of the street. Yes, I fully admit it was foolish of me to follow her into Buddy’s Diner, and to sit in her section that first time.

But it was sheer stupidity that I kept coming back.

As long as I was out of the country, I could tell myself I wouldn’t see her again. I thought I had the strength to stay away. But as soon as I returned, the wanting rushed back. The pull to see those clear green eyes. The need to hear that lilting voice and see that shy smile and be near her, if only for a moment.

Now, because I indulged myself, I’m well and truly fucked.

Because need and want have turned into something more powerful. Something darker and far more perilous, for us both.

So now I have two options.

Option one: claim her.

Option two: give her up.

I can’t bring myself to do either.

Review of Secret Keeper (Cocky Hero Club Story) by Christopher Harlan @GiveMeBooksPR and @CockyClub

/ The Sassy Redhead Book Reviews / Leave a comment

CHC Vi Keeland _ Penelope Ward

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 out of 5

He’s from a working-class family, raised by his grandparents. He’s loyal, sticks to his morals, and can keep a secret. Dylan Murphy is the Personal Assistant to a very rich man that opens his world up to so many things. Dylan idolizes Graham and works very hard for him. He was hired when he needed a job most, right after he returned home from his duty in the Marines. Dylan lives in a very ritzy Co-Op owned and run by Graham and his rich friends that also live in the Co-Op. Dylan is a man who gets things done, he is not only the PA for Graham, but he is also the manager of the Co-Op where they live. He’s a fixer in a way. The first time he sees Penelope, he is drawn to her. He is smart enough to keep his distance though once he finds out that she is taken, that is until he learns that her fiancé is not who she thought he was.

Penelope is also from a working-class family. She isn’t looking for a man to give her the world, but when Chandler comes up to her in a bar and introduces himself to her and asks her out, she’s charmed. Things are fine until after they become engaged and she learns who Chandler really is. The son of a media mogul that is ruthless in business and life. She needs to get away from him when his secrets start to come to light, but he’s holding her family over her and she can’t escape him, until Dylan decides that she’s worth any sacrifice and will do anything to help her and bring down the corrupt media mogul.

I enjoyed this story. It’s a story of two people who get a taste of the rich life, but don’t lose their morals and keep their roots. These two will go through a lot to get to the actual truth and bring down the corrupt fiancé, but they will have some help along the way from the people that Dylan has shown true respect and dedication to. Graham knows who Dylan is and will help him to attain his own goals. There are secrets, challenges, angst, and suspense throughout this story and the true hero will finally win in this story, but it will take a lot of dedication, planning, and help to get to the ultimate goal. I give this story a 4-star review and recommend it if you like stories of the underdog coming out on top and an Alpha male that doesn’t need to shove his way into anything to accomplish his goals.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 out of 5

Sheridan Reid is a young woman who has had to be strong since she was little girl and lost her mother. She was always told by her mom that she was strong, and she didn’t want to disappoint her when she was sick, so Sheridan always hid her tears and her vulnerabilities. As a young woman who has worked alongside her father in their company, RT Industries, she has become a woman who gets things done, she is serious, boring, and focused on getting her father’s best friend, David, to commit to her and explore a relationship. On her way to meet her father’s wedding and meet up with David to convince him, she is re-routed due to a Hurricane and finds herself with a group of people that draw out the young woman she should be and shows her who she can be and what she really craves in life, friendship and fun.

Camilo Zaragoza is the co-pilot and is living his dream of flying all over. His father and he left Mexico to fulfill Camilo’s dreams of becoming a pilot, giving up their life in Mexico and leaving Camilo’s mother behind. He loves going to see his Mamá when he is able to fly back, but his life is in Florida now with his papa. Camilo is fighting his own battles now though as his father has had a stroke and is in a care home. The young woman who seems to be arrogant and rude has caught his attention, until she insults him and is rude to his face. However, for some reason he is still pulled to her.

I really enjoyed this story, it was entertaining, angsty, and funny. The characters are great. You have two sexy, cocky pilots, a stuck up rich heiress, a Latina singer, a gay reality TV star and his assistant, the flight attendant, and an elderly couple that are all traveling to Cost Rica that end up in Tahueca, Oxaca, Camilo’s hometown and have to stay at the Zaragoza Hotel, Camilo’s family hotel. Due to Rodrigo, the Hurricane headed right for them, the group has to stay together to stay safe. The whole ordeal brings out a different person in Sheridan, after a lot of bad situations first. This story was funny, angsty, and sad, but all in all it was a great story. I loved Damian and I really hope he gets a story, along with Nicolas. Damian is the perfect character to bring out the humor in this story. I really can’t see him being quiet and not wanting his own story. I give this story a 4-star review and hope for more of these characters because they are all great and fun to read.

Cocky Duke by Annabelle Anders Ebook Cover
Cocky Duke by Annabelle Anders

Mrs. Ambrosia Bloomington, now a widow, is ready to start a new life amongst Mayfair elites without the overarching reach of her late husband, Mr. Harrison Bloomington. With her trunks loaded safely onto her own private carriage, she’s ready to face the world as an independent woman in Regency London.

She does not, however, bargain for cocksure Frenchman, Mr. Charles Cochran Bateman coming along and turning her very ordinary journey into the adventure of a lifetime.

She does not bargain for his laughter, his enthusiasm, nor his Joie de vie.

And blast and fiddlesticks, she certainly is not expecting to experience the sparks that charge the air between them.

And, it seems, apparently, neither is he…

Mother Clucker by Cat Johnson Ebook Cover
Mother Clucker by Cat Johnson

They say opposites attract, but in this case, they might just combust . . .

HEATHER

Hermosa Beach seems to be the place for throwing together unlikely opposites.

My rooster Rowdy and his new crush, Pixy the goat.

Me and the obnoxiously cocky cowboy from Texas . . .

But unlike Rowdy and Pixy, there’s no way I’m going to fall for David Strickland.

Nope. Not gonna happen. I could never be with a man so completely opposed to everything I believe . . . no matter how hot he is.

DAVID

There couldn’t be two people more different than the beautiful little tree hugger and rooster rescuer Heather and me.

We can’t agree on anything, except that we disagree on everything—some times more heatedly than other times. And believe me, things are starting to heat up between us, in more ways than one.

She’s the last thing I expected to find at an animal shelter in California. But now I found her, I have no intention of letting her go.

I just have to get her on board with that plan.

Secret Keeper by Christopher Harlan Ebook Cover
Secret Keeper by Christopher Harlan

She was the fruit of a forbidden tree, but nothing in this world was going to stop me from tasting her.
My name is Dylan Murphy, and I work for the rich and powerful of an exclusive Manhattan building. Graham Morgan was my first boss, but soon after I was working with some of the most famous entrepreneurs, business moguls, and movie stars in the city. They trusted me because I always followed the cardinal rules:
Never betray secrets. And never, under any circumstance, get personally involved.
I’d never dreamed of violating my professional mantra.
Not until she walked past me.
The look we exchanged that night set my body on fire, and I knew right then and there that no matter the consequences, she was going to be mine. But she was one of them—off limits and out of my league, but she was the kind of woman who I was willing to risk everything for.
I keep other people’s secrets for a living, but the biggest secret of all might be my own.

Cocky Captain by Ellie Masters Ebook Cover
Cocky Captain by Ellie Masters

Ex-fighter pilot, Logan Reid, is exactly the kind of man I despise. He’s a cocky jet jock, a former Navy Blue Angel, and full of all the arrogance that comes with being the best of the best.

I’m an ex-Zoomie, an Air Force tanker pilot. The rivalry between our sister services is nothing compared to that between fighter jocks and tanker pilots. We’re bitter rivals and I’m low-man (woman) on the totem pole

The last thing I need is to spend six hours at thirty-five thousand feet locked in a cockpit with the cocky captain. But I have no choice. I’m his co-pilot, and we’re taking the CEO of Montague Enterprises, and his family, on a mini-vacation to the Grand Caymans.

We have three days on the ground before we fly back.
Three long days in paradise and he wants to spend them all with me.

I have a thing for fighter pilots.
It isn’t animosity, exactly, but rather a deep-seated dislike. They get all the glory while the rest of us sit at the butt end of their jokes and wither beneath their ridicule.
I hate fighter pilots. There, I said it. I hate the arrogant pricks with a passion.

But after one look into those magnetic eyes, and the devastating wink which follows, I’m thinking of throwing caution to the wind. What harm can come from some innocent flirting? Besides, it’s not as if my job is at risk.

I’m not prepared for the air to sizzle when he’s close.
I’m not ready for our explosive chemistry when he touches my skin.
I’m not equipped for the fallout when our three days come to an end.
And I never expected to fall in love.

But all good things come to an end.
I wasn’t prepared when I walked away.
And I wasn’t ready for what came next.

He’s arrogant.
He’s cocky.
He’s determined to get what he wants.
And he’s refuses to let this end.
He’s fighting for a forever…with me.

But, I’m not ready for our beginning.
He’s arrogant enough to prove me wrong.

Sexy Suit by J.H. Croix Ebook Cover
Sexy Suit by J.H. Croix

When I met Ryan, I might’ve been trying to break into his basement.

It was for a good cause. I swear. Also, my dog broke in first.

Ryan Blake is jaw-dropping handsome, wealthy & cocky. Not quite my type. By some miracle, he doesn’t call the police on me when he catches me trying to rescue my dog. He even fetches a doctor for me. Don’t ask why.

I don’t figure I’ll see him again. Then, I do. Then, he kisses me. Once. Twice. Is three times the charm? To be honest, I swooned at the first kiss.

All swooning aside, we are seriously opposites. I wear cowboy boots and skirts. He wears suits and ties. He’s all New York City. I’m a Southern girl looking for a new start. We even talk at different speeds.

The list of things I don’t expect from Ryan is long. I don’t expect him to think twice about me. I don’t expect him to nearly bring me to my knees with a look. I don’t expect him to be so much more than I ever imagined.

I absolutely don’t expect to fall for him. So hard I’m skidding sideways just to catch my balance.

Wicked Bedmate by Jenika Snow Ebook Cover
Wicked Bedmate by Jenika Snow

Getting fired and humiliated in front of everyone at my newly acquired secretarial job at Morgan Financial Holdings wasn’t how I’d seen my day going.

And then chaos—or maybe luck—ensured.

I was set up on a blind date, shocked that my former boss was giving me a month’s severance, and had the perfect interview lined up.

Maybe things were looking up for me after all.

And although finding a man should have been on the bottom of my to-to list, I couldn’t get Jason—the uber sexy blind date—out of my head. Sexy and confident—or maybe arrogant—he had me yearning for more with just a smoldering look and a smirk of his lips.

But when a night of drinking leads to getting in bed with him and having the wildest, most intense night of my life, I didn’t know if I should ask to see him again, or do the good old walk of shame.

And it’s when I walk into my interview the next day and come face-to-face with my prospective employer that the reality of my situation sinks in.

Because there, sitting across from me with that devilish smile on his face, that knowing expression of what we’d done the night before, is the one and only Jason, my supposedly one-night stand.

Looked like my humiliation wasn’t over just yet.

Lucky Bastard by Kaylee Ryan Ebook Cover
Lucky Bastard by Kaylee Ryan

Emma

When my best friend Aubrey asked me to tag along to an event with her, I never could have imagined that it would be the day that my life changed forever.

He’s arrogant and demanding and doesn’t take a hint. Landon Barker, the quarterback for the Hermosa Beach Trojans, is a player on and off of the field. He’s got his sights set on me as his next play, but I see right through him. Aubrey says I’m overreacting, that I should give him a chance. What she doesn’t realize is men like Landon don’t fall for the girl next door. That’s not reality. She got her fairytale, although it was a long road. Not all of us are that lucky.

Landon

She’s a friend of our new kicking coach’s wife. When I ask Chance for her number, he tells me I have to find a way to get it myself.

Nothing when it comes to Emma has been easy. She’s the first woman ever to turn me down, and that won’t do. However, as time passes, it’s about more than that. It’s about her smile, her laugh, and just spending time with her. She thinks I’m a player, and she’s right. What she doesn’t know is that I play to win, and her heart is the ultimate trophy.

Cocksure Ace by K. Webster Ebook Cover
Cocksure Ace by K. Webster

I’m a fighter.
At least that’s what my daddy always told me.
It’s in our blood.

Hard work, hustle, and a little Hennessey is the Reid motto.
He taught me to fight for everything I wanted in life.
Take down those who threaten the dream.

My dream is to marry the perfect man.
That man is my father’s best friend and I won’t stop until I have him.
And at Daddy’s wedding in Costa Rica, I plan to make that dream finally come true.
Then, my life will be smooth sailing.

Until a chance flight with an arrogant pilot throws me off course.
Literally.
Camilo’s decisions affect my future, and I can’t allow anything—not even a cocksure, ridiculously hot idiot—to stand in my way.

Problem is, he fights back.
Every battle I’ve won in life, he shoots down and exposes me for the fraud I am.
Trapped in paradise with my devilishly handsome nemesis seems like one of the seven circles of Hell…and, boy, is it getting hot around here.

He’ll strip me of my armor.
Remind me of my past.
Force me to rethink my future.
And help me live in the moment.
Will he steal my heart too?

One thing’s for sure.
This girl won’t give up without a fight.

Clutch Player by Nikki Ash Ebook Cover
Clutch Player by Nikki Ash

Harper
I fell in love when I was sixteen. Landon was my entire world and I thought he would be my forever. But I was young and dumb, and with one error in judgement, I destroyed any chance of a future we could’ve had together, along with our hearts.

Twelve years later and I’m going through the motions of life, but not actually living. Which is why I let my friends, Bridget and Simon, set me up on a blind date. Turns out, it’s not so blind after all. Because the man sitting in front of me is the same man who’s held onto my heart all these years.

Landon
They call me a Clutch Player because I’m good under pressure and quick on my feet. I was also quick to fall in love. The first time it was with baseball, the second was with Harper. And for a short time I had them both.

Until I lost Harper and all I had left was baseball.

For years, I focused on my career. I had accepted that baseball was my one true love.

Until I saw her again. I never imagined we’d ever get a second chance, but now that she’s sitting right across from me, I know there’s no way in hell I’m going to let her go again.

Sexy Scoundrel by Raisa Greywood Ebook Cover
Sexy Scoundrel by Raisa Greywood

Carlina Perez is in way over her head. Unexpectedly jobless and fostering an exotic pet with an insatiable appetite, this pastry chef needs a new gig faster than she can whip up a batch of scones. But when she’s tapped to serve as the personal chef to a haughty tabloid regular, she only considers the job out of sheer desperation. After all, Giorgio Acardi may be filthy rich and intoxicatingly handsome, but he’s also a first class scoundrel.

Giorgio Acardi has it all: money, fame, an endless string of beautiful companions, and the respect of his colleagues and rivals. From the outside looking in, his life is perfect. So perfect, in fact, that he’s even got his eye on a new personal chef. She’s talented and gorgeous, and it shouldn’t make a difference whether she hates him or not as long as she does the job. But there’s something about Carlina that Giorgio just can’t resist, and he hasn’t enjoyed success by backing down from a challenge.

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review of The Land Where Sinners Atone by V. F. Mason @Author_VFMason @LWoodsPR

/ The Sassy Redhead Book Reviews / Leave a comment

TLWSA_IG1

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Holy sinners needing atonement! Another great dark, twisted story by V.F. Mason. She really knows how to bring out the dark and twisted as well as draw out the story until you’re hanging on the edge of your seat waiting to find out what’s going on.

She told them she was innocent, but no believed her. She was pitted against the King family, they owned New York and were loved by everyone, so she was drug through the mud and sentenced for a crime she didn’t commit, at least not the way she was portrayed. Phoenix finally had it all. Growing up in the system wasn’t easy, but she was smart and driven. She knew what she wanted from life after a chance meeting with a young boy who was hurting. She had everything now as an adult woman. She had the career she wanted, a man who loved her and her life was going well. Until it wasn’t. One tragic night everything changed and then her life hit bottom and the only reason she was fighting to stay alive was for the little part of her that no one else knew about, yet.

He is the only King by blood. He’s powerful, rich, and still hurting from his childhood. Zachary King’s life took a bad turn when he was a young boy. On a particularly bad day, he met a little girl who brought some sunlight into his life, but only for a short time. His father sent him away to school but kept his new wife and her children with him. Zachary grew up abroad going to school and grew to hate his father because he felt that his father didn’t want him. When he finally came back to the states to live, he was supposed to meet the little girl, now an 18-year-old young woman, to see if their friendship could be more than writing letters every couple of years to each other. Only he didn’t get to her on time and met someone else that would become his world, until one fateful night when his world would be shattered forever.

Phoenix and Zachary have a past that will become apparent after a lot of damage has been done to both of them. Zach has become a rich, powerful, angry man who only lives for revenge and will go to any extreme to get it. He is determined to ruin Phoenix’s life and accomplishes it until the truth comes to light and Phoenix and Zachary have to work together to get the real killer and bring them to justice.

This story, like all of V. F. Mason’s stories that involve crazy, twisted, dark characters, was an excellent read. I loved it from the beginning until the final page. I cried and got angry at the characters, but ultimately, I loved the main characters. I loved that Ms. Mason incorporated her characters from her Dark Romance books into this one and that they played a part in finding and helping with the capture of the character that caused all of the mayhem in this story. I love the characters that she writes, and they stay with me for a long time after reading her books. I give this story a 5-star review and highly recommend it if you are a lover of dark, twisted, dangerous characters that will do anything for the ones they love, even if it includes finding retribution after they are no longer with them. I do have to say that this story had me on the edge of my seat right up through the epilogue and almost the final pages of the book, and I was crying as well. Great job with this story, I loved it!!
