Loyalty is the deadliest sin

Adriana
Every devil doesn’t always get his due.
I survived a fate worse than death, and the only thing my family’s traitor got was my birthright.
I used to rule an empire. Brody Harcourt made me a pariah.
Now, I’m back for more than revenge. I‘m here to reclaim and ruin. All I want to do is to build him up just to watch him fall.
But sometimes, things don’t go as planned.
He’s the enemy, the one man I can never fall for.
And the only one I do.

Brody
Eventually, everyone’s true colors show.
I swore to uphold an oath then sold my soul to the darkness I fought so hard to destroy.
I used to put criminals behind bars. Adriana Carrera turned me into one.
I no longer ask for permission, and I care nothing about forgiveness. I’ll protect what’s mine by beating her at her own game.
She should know I take what I want.
A year ago, I took the queen’s crown.
Now I want the queen.

Cora Kenborn is a USA Today Bestselling author who writes in multiple genres from dark and gritty romantic suspense to laugh-out-loud romantic comedy. Known for her sharp banter and shocking blindsides, Cora pushes her characters and readers out of their comfort zones and onto an emotional roller coaster before delivering a twisted happily ever after.

Cora believes there’s nothing better than a feisty heroine who keeps her alpha on his toes, and she draws inspiration from the sassy country women who raised her. However, since the domestic Southern Belle gene seems to have skipped a generation, she spends any free time convincing her family that microwaving Hot Pockets counts as cooking dinner.

Oh, and autocorrect thinks she’s obsessed with ducks.

BLURB:

One way or another, all men pay for their crimes. Some do their time locked in a cage, while others meet their due karma without a judge or a jury. My debt to society is almost paid, and soon I’ll be free to get my son the justice he deserves. Justice he wouldn’t be due if only I had done my job as his father and protected him.

There’s just one hitch, and her name is Charlotte.

The gorgeous and completely inexperienced paralegal’s mission seems to be making me a law-abiding citizen and not a vengeful son of a bitch. But underneath her prim and proper facade, there is a woman begging to be unleashed. If I wasn’t so hellbent on breaking the chains of pain bound to my boy, I’d be tempted to unravel Charlotte and show her what it’s like to ditch the law and walk on the wild side. And there’s no time for me to succumb to her efforts to make me a decent man. I’ve agreed to prospect for the Satan’s Knights MC, and my pretty little paralegal is about to learn there ain’t nothing noble about a man who sells his soul to the Devil in the name of revenge.

*Editorial note: Breaking The Chains is the second book in the Satan’s Knights Prospect Trilogy. Fan’s of Janine’s Blackout Duet will immediately recognize Bishop, but all readers can enjoy this novel as a steamy, suspenseful standalone.*

Review of Echo (Linear Tactical Series Book 7) by Janie Crouch @janiecrouch

Echo

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 out of 5

I loved this second chance romance.

Cade O’Connor is Oak Creek’s hometown celebrity. His family is well known in Oak Creek, but his own celebrity status came from his own talent. A silent investor/partner of Linear Tactical has given him a family of friends who will stand behind him and do anything for him.

Peyton Ward was young when she first met Cade. She had a secret then that Cade kept close for her. Five years later, Cade learns of another secret and this one is huge. Will these two find a way to over come their past and move forward with the future they both deserve and want?

This story was full of danger, betrayal, suspense and the desire for a chance at real happiness. It kept me wondering, guessing, and at the edge throughout. It was perfectly paced with danger and suspense and I loved every page of this book. I give it 5-bright stars and encourage you to buy and read this book as well as the entire series. Each book just gets better.

Linear 2

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 out of 5

WOW!! I loved each book in this series and they just kept getting better with each book.

Angel is a great story. I loved watching Jordan’s true self finally come to light with Gabe’s love and care for her. His guidance and bulldozing for her was great to read, sometimes it takes others to help show us our true worth in this world, and Gabriel did that for Jordan. I loved it.

Ghost was a tragically beautiful story. Dorian and Grace’s (Ray) story was full of tension, action, suspense and a beautiful story of two broken souls coming back together. These two deserve a happy ending with healing and the love of their Linear Tactical family can help them find that. Dorian has always been my favorite character in this series. His lone wolf character and attention to detail as well as his intensity drew me to him, and his story just carried that through. I still love him, and I hope he and will be in more of the series as it continues.

Shadow, wow! His story started out with a great intensity and ended with a sweet story. I loved it. Heath’s need to get answers drove him for so long. His unexpected help is what settled him. It seems that it’s always when you decide to stop looking that things become clearer and answer start coming to you from the least likely place.

I thought Ghost was my favorite because I had been waiting for Dorian’s story, but then I read Shadow and then Echo (see my review for Echo). I read all four books in a week and had such a Linear Tactical hangover I wasn’t what to read next. I pre-ordered Phoenix and Baby, but I wish I didn’t have to wait so long for them to come out. I give each of these books as well as the box set a 5-bright star review and encourage you to buy the series and read it! I hope you like it as much as I did! If there were a larger scale, I would give higher.

ISConfessBookCover5x8_BW_350 (1)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

Father Amadeo Decosta wants revenge on Massimo Tomassi and will go to any extent to get it. His younger brother Valentino Decosta knows that his brother feels this is the only way to get peace, but he’s not so sure it’s a good idea. His problem is that he’s always looked up to his brother and will stand by him, but only to an extent.

Carlotta Tomassi is daddy’s little princess. Massimo Tomassi rules Malborne as the Mafia Kingpin, but he doesn’t get his hands dirty, he has others do it for him. He’s ruthless and very dangerous. Carlotta is his only child and he’s very strict with her, but she sneaks out as often as possible with her best friend until the night she doesn’t find her way back home.

A dark, twisted, taboo, steamy story of two brothers who fall in love with an off-limits young woman. I love a dark twisted story and this one definitely delivered. I devoured it in one day and loved every chapter I read. I give this book a 4.5-star review and suggest you one-click it if you are a lover of dark, twisted, mafia and taboo stories.

Arc Review of Dangerous Game (An Armed & Dangerous/Circle of Justice Crossover Novel) by L. P. Dover @GiveMeBooksPR and @LPDover #TuesdayBookBlog

Dangerous Game Now Available 2

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

Dominic Corsino wants to keep his family on top in New York City, but he promised his sister that he would not keep it there with their father’s methods. He needs to show the other families that the Corsino’s are still in control, even with diminished numbers. One problem that will come up is the one woman who can rule his heart is now available to him. He’s had feelings for his sister’s best friend from college, Faith. She’s getting a quick divorce and is in need of a place to stay because her ex is devious.

Dominic is not a man to mess with, he’s sexy, dangerous and lethal, but his vulnerabilities and soft side will come out with Faith. I loved so much about this book. The steamy attraction between Faith and Dominic as well as the dangerous men in this story kept me turning the pages and wanting to see what would happen. Faith is a strong woman who knows what she wants and can handle herself, but when the head of the Cartwright family sets his sights on Faith her world could come crumbling down.

L. P. Dover does an excellent job with the characters in this crossover and the story is great. I give it a 4.5-star review and encourage you to read this book as well as the stories in her Armed & Dangerous and Circle of Justice Series, especially if you like mafia and assassin stories.

Title: Dangerous Game

An Armed & Dangerous/Circle of Justice Crossover Novel

Author: L.P. Dover
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: November 19, 2019

 

Blurb
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author L.P.
Dover comes the crossover fans having been waiting for! Beloved characters from
her Armed & Dangerous and Circle of Justice novels come together in this
tantalizing new series!
For years, my family was on top.

Ruthless.

Respected.

Feared.That all changed with the death of my father. As I moved into the position of
power over the Corsino empire, enemies to the family tried to take over my
city. They thought I would be weakened by my loss. They don’t know me.

My name is Dominic Corsino, and I have a ravenous appetite for money, power,
and women. The last of which I pushed aside when Faith Hilliard, a close family
friend, turned up in need of help. I’ve always wanted her, yet couldn’t bring
myself to involve her in the dark savagery of my world. Now, she’s within my
grasp once more. If I didn’t fear her running from my brutal truth, I would
have already tasted her sweet temptation.

But the time for hesitation passes when a fighter in my underground ring is murdered.
With my family name at stake, I can no longer hide who I am and what I’m
capable of. It’s all coming down to a one winner-takes-all match. If I walk
away with the prize, the threats against the Corsinos will be crushed. If I
lose, our entire empire will crumble.

It’s a dangerous game … and I’m ready to play.

Teaser: Guts & Glory: Walker by Jeanne St. James @LWoodsPR

/ The Sassy Redhead Book Reviews / Leave a comment

Walker_Teaser1

You can lie down and give up or you can rise and keep going…
Guts & Glory: Walker by Jeanne St. James releases on December 7th!

Amazon — https://amzn.to/2CiCpUE
Universal — mybook.to/Shadows-Walker
ADD TO YOUR TBR — http://bit.ly/2lYsyyo

Walker’s been living life by this motto since the age of twenty when the girl he planned his future with shattered his heart and left a hole in his soul. His time in the military, and current job at In the Shadows Security, have kept him moving but he’s always felt the ache of that loss.

From the outside Ellie McMaster has led a seemingly perfect life, big house, rich adoring husband, fancy cars. But it’s all been a huge lie, one that started nineteen years ago when she walked away from her first love and the boy who stole her heart. Now time has run out for her and with nowhere to go and nothing left to lose she’ll have to face down the pain of the past in hopes of saving her future.

But Trace Walker isn’t the young carefree teenager she remembers, he’s now a muscle-bound titan with nothing but hurt and anger shining in his blue eyes. His time in the Army as a Night Stalker wasn’t easy, and he didn’t return home whole. Will he open himself up again and face the risks that come with having Ellie back in his life, back in his heart? Can this be their shot at a happily ever after, or their final goodbye?

Note: Walker is the fourth book of the Guts & Glory series, a six-book spin-off from my Dirty Angels MC series. While it’s recommended to read both series in order, each book can be read as a stand-alone. As with all my books, this has an HEA, no cliffhanger or cheating.
