My Review:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

Sabrina has been at BKI for several months now and is healing from her traumatic recent past.

Sabrina and Hew are still dancing around each other and instead of communicating, they assume what the other needs, wants, and desires. When Sabrina finds herself in trouble again, from new enemies, Hew will have to step up and open up to Sabrina.

I love the characters in the BKI OG and Reloaded series. I love the comradery these operatives have with each other and the family atmosphere. They are always up in each others’ business, pick at each other, but beneath it all they would all kill and die for each other. I love these stories and the characters and I can’t wait for the next book. I’m invested in these books to find out who the real bad guy is behind the curtain.

After her mother’s unexpected death, Savannah “Ava” Smythe inherits three things: guardianship of her teenage sister, a house with an upside-down mortgage, and an illegal debt to a loan shark. Any thoughts of going to the police are dashed when the seedy loan shark threatens Savannah and her sister.

In desperate need of fast cash, Savannah lands a job performing at Platinum’s Gentleman’s Club, but she never expected to find her best friend’s brother working security there.

Ted “Puncture” Chisholm loves his job. There’s only one rule: no fraternizing with the dancers. Not a problem, until he learns their newest dancer is his sister’s best friend. He doesn’t know why she’s dancing, but it isn’t his place to stop her.

When Savannah is brutally assaulted in the parking lot, everything changes.

Punc is eaten by guilt and insists on helping her recover.
In the process, he discovers there’s more going on in Savannah’s life.

He also learns his sister’s sweet friend has a will of steel and a sassy attitude that appeals to him much more than it should. He’s determined to solve Savannah’s problems while taking the next step with her. It could cost him his job, but it might also risk his life. For Savannah, he’ll risk everything to make her his.

Karen Renee is the author of the Riot Motorcycle Club, Beta, and O-Town series of books. She once crunched Nielsen ratings data but these days she brings her imagination to life by writing books. She has wanted to be a writer since she was very young, but it’s taken the last twenty plus years for her to amass enough courage and overall life experience to bring that dream to life. Some of those life experiences came from the wonderful world of advertising, banking, and local television media research. She is a proud wife and mother, and a Jacksonville native. When she’s not at the soccer field or cooking, you can find her at her local library, the grocery store, in her car jamming out to some tunes, or hibernating while she writes and/or reads books.

My Review:⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5

Savannah’s an independent, strong woman and hates to ask for help. She’ll do anything to protect her younger sister and keep them both safe. Even if it means she has to do something that she’d normally never do to make the payments that unexpectedly came up. Never expecting to find her best friend’s brother, Ted “Punc” Chisholm, working at Platinum’s Gentleman’s Club when auditions.

Savannah is determined to stand on her own and protect her younger sister, but at what cost. When more danger and trouble finds her leaving Platinum’s Gentleman’s Club after her first full performance, Punc feels responsible and guilty that he let her perform. Now he’s stepping in to make sure she’s okay and protected.

I enjoyed this book and I love the characters in the Riot MC series. This book was filled with page-turning trouble, and danger lurking in the shadows. I’m looking forward to more Riot MC books in the future.

She was enraptured by the man they called Romeo the moment that he turned those butterscotch-colored eyes her way.

What wasn’t to love about a big, burly, plaid-wearing lumberjack?

He was tall, gorgeous, and knew how to wield a chainsaw better than Leatherface. He could fell a tree in seconds, had thighs that were as thick as said trees, filled out a pair of Wranglers better than any cowboy ever, and didn’t care that she could operate heavy machinery better than him.

He was everything a girl like Mable could ask for.

The caveat? He was a convicted felon that’d just escaped from prison, faked his death, and ran from his home in Texas to the mountains of Montana.

At first, Mable didn’t know what kind of man he’d been before coming to her small, mountain town. He led Mable into a false sense of security, made her fall madly, deeply, and irrevocably in love with him, and then shocked her by sharing his darkest secret.

Now, she’s left reeling, thinking life couldn’t get more complicated.

Until she finds out her stepmother knows Romeo’s secret and plans to exploit him. To make matters worse, Romeo goes on the run to protect Mable from himself, and she realizes that she has a dark side, too. One that’ll stop at nothing, not even murder, to make sure that he can live free.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

I’m so excited to have another new series to read from Lani Lynn Vale. Her books always make me laugh, sometimes cringe, but always leave me wanting more.

House of BS & Lies was a great story to start the new Don’t Hate Him Series. As per usual with Lani’s books, this one is a spin off from a character in her last series and has some tense moments in it.

Romeo is a convicted felon and Mable is a woman that live a straight and narrow life. Romeo may be a felon, but he’s a good man at heart, and Mable can’t help but fall for him. Even when she’s angry, he finds a way to lighten her day.

Mable is a hard working young woman that has dealt with a lot in her young life, but she’s finding that her circle could be a little bigger.

I loved this story and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series. I love Lani’s books and devour them as soon as I can.

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.

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.
