She doesn’t believe her father’s preaching and she wants to live her life on her terms. That means she has to sneak away and find a way to get off the Island that she was born and raised on. Just because he believes what he is saying and others follow his lead, does not mean that his teachings are right or just.
Mona is a young girl who has a dark side, even though her father is the leader and minister of their group on the Island. His teachings have been tough and cruel, and Mona does not believe any of his teachings. Her and her older sister, Clara, dream of a life away from the Island, but their father has always told them that the world outside the Island was dark and dangerous.
Clara manages to escape and find happiness, but it is not what she was hoping for. She is taken in by the Ward brothers who are wealthy twins. They have a history with the Island that she comes from and their reactions to her are different.
I really enjoyed this story, it has the right amount of darkness, danger, and twisted characters that have you wondering if they are who they portray themselves to be. This story is dark, twisted, and very steamy. Mona is not as naïve as the Ward brothers believe she is. She is naïve when it comes to the outside world, but she is a quick learner and finds herself where she wants to be, which is free from her father and his demented teachings. There are a lot of twists in this story and the danger and unexpected turns pulled me in and held me until the end of the book. I give this story a 4.5-star review and suggest it readers who are interested in dark romance, retellings of fairy tales, and women who are not afraid to reach for what they want and take no prisoners in the process.

My Review:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5
A second chance story. Corruption and tragedy almost destroyed them.
Teresa is an assistant baseball coach at the local high school as well as a teacher and head of the History Department. She loves her job and coaching. Has been through a lot in the past year and has kept most of it to herself, but she has shared some with her closest friend, the head coach of the baseball team, Noah and his wife Julie. She hasn’t even told her parents some of the story or the latest development, but when she attends a party for a local star athlete that was drafted to the NFL, she runs into her high school flame that walked away from her.
Finn doesn’t come home often and when he does, he certainly does not socialize with the locals. Too much happened when he was in high school and he wants to avoid the talk and whispers that he is sure will still go on behind his back. Finn walked away from Teresa after he graduate high school, but he has never forgotten her or gotten over her.
These two had so much unfinished business and they both have so many hurdles to overcome and find their way back to each other. Neither one stopped living the other, even after 14 years their feelings are still strong, and their connection is still there. This is a story of a couple of kids who thought they would be together forever, their love was so strong when they were young, but extenuating circumstances changed their future, now that they have reconnected they both need to overcome the troubles in their lives to be able to move on and find the future they both dreamed of. I loved this story and give it a 4.5-star review. If you are a fan of second chance romance, stories with characters that are strong, hurt, and yet they carry on with their lives until they find someone to help them put the pieces of their heart back together and gain strength from that connection, then you will enjoy this story. This was my first read of the A Change of Heart books, but I did enjoy it and I look forward to reading the back stories and any future books that come out as well.

This cover is a little different from the others because, well, Jay is a little different. You’ll see soon…
BLURB:

So with my arm wrapped around this tiny, vulnerable woman I wonder why it’s not like that for me. It’s terrifying, controlling and delicate. It’s not her fault, it’s mine…
My life is in shambles. My father has been kidnapped. My mental health is slipping.
Her life is in shambles. Her safety has been threatened… by my father’s kidnapper.
Can I save everyone I love?
Can I stay true to myself?
Can I fall in love?
I want to say I can. But our enemies say otherwise. Especially my greatest enemy… myself.

Cutter Thompson
Hurricane Tatum, a category five storm hell-bent on making landfall along the
Alabama coast, is my opportunity, to show my friends and family the kind of man
I’ve become.
The kid who lost his scholarship and the love is life is ready for a change. A
change I’m equal parts scared will and won’t come.
An EMT wasn’t my first choice of careers, but it’s become my calling. When the
winds die down, the skies clear, and the rain stops, we’re left with
devastation the likes of which I’ve never seen.
What I come to realize is ugly destruction can be beautiful, if we can only
figure out what perspective to see it.
Rowan Baker
The LSERT is a godsend, especially as us local first responders emerge from our
shelters to see our town and homes destroyed. It’s going to take time to
rebuild.
Rebuilding is what I’m used to. After I watched my four-year-old daughter die
in my arms I’ve done nothing but try to find a reason to live.
But I’ve got baggage. Memories, an ex-husband, and a fear I won’t be able to
save everyone.
When I meet Cutter Thompson, he reminds me rebuilding can mean letting go of
fear and allowing myself to live the life I’ve wanted all along.

My Review:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5
Will his family ever see him as more than the kid that lost his scholarship?
Cutter is hiding a lot of emotions and he is trying to find his way through this life.
Cutter Thompson has a past that he can’t seem to outrun but is it only from himself or his loved ones too. Do they still see him as a screw up? When the LSERT is looking for volunteers to go help with the hurricane that is threatening the southern states, Cutter decides to go. He has nothing stopping him from leaving so he may as well go help out where he can. The only thing is that Cutter is not prepared for this trip at all. Not what he will see or how his life will change after this help and rescue mission.
Rowan Baker is just surviving, she’s not living her life. After a devastating tragedy four years ago, she seems to be stuck in her life. When she meets Cutter during the hurricane, her life seems to be brighter. It’s too bad that he lives in Laurel Hill and she lives in Paradise Lost. Their chemistry has them both feeling like life is good and that they can overcome their pasts and find a way to move on.
I really enjoyed this story. It was tragic, scary, and a beautiful story of two people finding a way to move on from their pasts and find their HEA. The characters in Ms. Briscoe’s LSERT series are always great to read and Cutter’s story did not disappoint. They are loyal to each other, kind, and are always willing to do what is needed to make sure that their families are safe and taken care of. These characters are not all family by blood, but they are also family by choice, and it makes for a great tight knit community in Laurel Hills. They keep their community safe and they are always willing to help outside of their own community as well. The devastation and danger that Cutter see’s while in Paradise Lost helps him find his true self and the strength that is hidden deep within himself, as does Rowan. She feels that she is broken and damaged, but she is actually a strong woman who has been dealt a huge blow, but Cutter will show her the path to happiness. He’s so gentle and patient with her, but he is also a force to be reckoned with when needed. I loved this story and give it a 5-star review. I look forward to more of the LSERT family.

She’s an unusual girl. Young and more confident than the other women he entertains.
For Priest, President of Tarkio Motorcycle Club, everything centers around trust and possession. He’s at his strongest when he has total control over his club, his life, his women. So when he finds a free-spirited girl dancing alone at the clubhouse, his dark sexual desires push him to seize her.
Make love, not war.
Born to hippy parents and raised on a commune, Nicole’s desires are sparked by innocence and impulsiveness rather than deeper yearnings. A night of flirting with an older biker has her teasing him with the freedom she lives by. In him, she glimpses a spark of authority that she finds seductive.
But not everything is about pleasure. Between murder, sex trafficking, and exposing her family’s livelihood, she finds herself pushed out of her comfort zone, and learning a valuable lesson.
To truly trust, she should never question.

NICOLE CYPHER

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5
They were born and raised in an MC, her an MC Princess, but they are from MC’s that are at war with each other. How can they ever make a relationship work? One tragic night, everything they had is ripped away from them and now they are both just walking through life, but not living.
Fender and Charlotte “Charlie” met as young teens, although they are both from the MC world, they are from two different MC’s and they aren’t exactly friendly with each other. When there is an attack on the Soulless Kings MC club house and loss of members from both MC’s, the Soulless Kings are devastated, and Fender is frozen in his spot. When Charlie comes out of Fender’s room to see what’s going on and helps, Fender’s best friend and another brother turn on Charlie and blame her for the attack. Fender is too shocked to do anything and questions everything. He not only lost family that day, he lost his whole world. Will he ever recover? Will he ever find anyone to share his life with? He has so many questions and so much hate that he’s become hard and dangerous.
Charlie is so devastated that Fender didn’t defend her that when she is told to leave the club house, she walks out the door and keeps going. She even leaves her own MC family and go across the country to try to find a life away from the death and destruction. When her father dies from natural causes, she returns home to honor her father and her family. The trouble is that there are so many in her own MC family that has turned on her and don’t want her back. They believe she’s a traitor. Her father was the President of the Black Savages, so she’s an MC princess, but she wants nothing to do with that title or the life since she lost her soulmate four years ago due to the carnage that showed up in his MC club house.
I love Andi Rhodes and her writing.I have read one of Nicole Cypher’s books in the past, and this book did not disappoint. With the combination of these writers came a story with so many feels. The devastation at the beginning, the turmoil upon Charlie’s return, the indecisiveness of the true culprits of the attack, the reason coming to light, and the actions of Fender, his brothers, and the Black Savages, had me hanging on the edge of each page to finish the book, but I was not ready for it to be done. I love the characters, the story, and the whole package. I was crying, cringing, and rooting for Fender and Charlie to find their way back to each other. I give this story a 5-star review and cannot wait for more with the Soulless Kings MC. I hope there are more to come soon.
And that’s just where this story begins.
Desperate and alone I turned back to my childhood home. The first wicked place
I’d known with the darkest villain among them. My stepfather. But I could weather his storm in exchange for safety. I had to.
What I didn’t expect to find was Niall McDonough. The only man I’d ever really
loved had reappeared only to become one of them. Someone ruthless and cruel. He
wants to ruin me. As my stepfather’s savage soldier he might just do it.
But then again, twelve years ago a fortune teller predicted I’d need just such
a soldier to save both my heart and soul.

My Review:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5
Sold at the age of 18 by her own parents, Diamond struggles to keep herself alive and not give in to the torture and pain that her body is put through. She had dreams of going to college, having a career that she enjoyed, incorporate her love for painting, and have a family, now it looks like all of her dreams have been stolen from her and she may never see her four sisters ever again. Being betrayed by her own parents has broken her heart but being the oldest and not knowing where her younger sisters are or if they are still alive, is the worst torture for her, even with the torture that her body is being put through.
He is attracted to Diamond, his partners older sister, but he has enough on his plate right now and with what Diamond has endured already in her life, he doesn’t want to put her in a situation that could destroy the work she has done to move on with her life. Even after she made it clear to him that she is interested, Elijah is afraid to put her in the crossfire of Lisa’s sights. Lisa is his ex that he’s in a custody battle with. He wants Diamond in his life, but he won’t let Lisa drag her into their battle.
This story is tragic, suspenseful, and shows the strength that someone has when they have support and the love of people who care for her. Diamond is not the only one to have to battle for a new normal, but she feels that she may be the last to find her new normal or ability to move on with her life. When danger comes along that points to more trouble for Diamond, Elijah will step up and do whatever he can to protect her and keep her safe. It may take some time to make sure she is safe, but when he thinks he’s lost her for good, the truth of his feelings will become clear and he will fight harder to protect her and keep her in his life. I really enjoyed the story, it’s dark, depraved, and tragic, but the characters are great, strong, and willing to fight for their lives as well as those they love and care about. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to more in the series.
