My Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 out of 5

Gianni Marino pulled some stupid stunts as a kid and young man; he and his twin would switch off with girls and he never thought anything of it. It was expected after the first time. The only girls they never switched with was Bridget, Dante’s girl and Cara, Gianni’s girl. However, when Gianni began to get too close to Cara he would always pull back. For some reason the HEA seemed to scare him.

Cara has given Gianni too many passes and now that they are grown and in their 40’s, she’s no longer opened to giving him chances. So, when she starts seeing Umberto and Gianni warns her away from him, she digs her heals in deeper. She carries on the relationship for months, but when Umberto begins to feel threatened, he turns on her and she finds herself on an auction block being bought by a man that bids the highest. Little does she know that her whole life is going to be changed forever.

I really like the Mafia Wars books, but the back and forth between Gianni and Cara got to be a bit too much in this book. I understand her reluctance to trust and accept Gianni’s word that he has changed and is committing himself to only her, but she pushed a lot about their past, while Gianni kept asking her to please put the past behind them and trust that he was a different man, she kept seeing him as the arrogant, stupid young man that she knew and not the grown, dangerous, and committed man in front of her. I liked their story and once it got past the part where she kept questioning his every move, it was good. Gianni is a dangerous, dark, and deadly man that protects those he loves fiercely, and Cara is at the top of his list for protecting. It was a good story and I look forward to Crazed. I give this book a 4-star review.

Title: Alexius

Series: Dark Sovereign Series

Author: Bella J.

Genre: Dark Romance/Mafia Romance

Release Date: May 10, 2022

5 Star TDC Book Reviews – “This was a highly entertaining and addicting story that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.”

5 Star caffe.and.books – “Intense, wicked and suspenseful goodness, I couldn’t read it fast enough yet I didn’t want it to end.”

5 Star Goodreads Review – “I LOVE Mafia Romance and this author has a way of spinning a story that makes you feel as if you’re a part of the story as you read it.”

I’ve never met him. Never even seen him.

But I’ve heard the whispers. The rumors. The stories about him being as cruel as his father. Maybe even worse.

They say his presence wraps around your throat whenever he enters a room. And that’s exactly what I feel the moment he walks into the diner where I work, and I hear people breathe out his name.

Alexius Del Rossa.

They call him the crown prince of the Dark Sovereign—a society of men who own everything but the weather in this town.

Men say he has ice in his veins, and women talk about the corrupted heart in his chest. He’s the kind of man you pray never to cross paths with. The kind of man a girl like me has no chance of surviving.

But while his eyes trap mine, and his magnetism touches my skin, I’m unable to move when he forces me into a corner and hands me an envelope.

It’s an offer.

One I can’t refuse.

See, I have nothing. No family. No friends. No home.

I can disappear and no one will know.

And that is exactly why he chose me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Alexius is the first born of the Del Rossa family and slated to take over for his father soon. He’s dark, deadly, ruthless, and unforgiving. His father wants him to marry to make his position as the head of the family and the Dark Sovereign stronger, but Alexius doesn’t feel he needs any more strength than his name and reputation. So, he decides to find a wife that is disposable, however what he finds is so much more.

Leandra is a woman that is barely living. Her home life as a child was dismal and her adult life is a struggle. Now that she’s free of her mother’s torment, she wants to find a way out of her current life, but with no options she’s stuck. Until a ruthless man walks into the diner she works and hands her a black envelope with a proposition. Leandra is not a trusting woman and when she reads the letter inside the envelope she declines his offer, but Alexius won’t take no for an answer.

This story is brutal, dark, and tragic. It’s also a story of a woman that may be able to find her way out of the darkness that she’s lived her whole life, but she will have to find a way to trust the man that has given her the opportunity. Leandra and Alexius are an explosive couple but when they begin to find their footing with each other their relationship could be explosive in other ways. Leandra may be a “stray”, but she doesn’t take any of Alexius’ harshness. She may be intimidated by him, but she won’t cower to him. I really liked this story, and the characters were great. I look forward to more of the Dark Sovereign books to come and Nicoli’s story. These brothers are close and have each other’s backs, but there is a threat, and no one knows where it’s coming from. It could put the whole family in danger. I give this book a 5-star review.

One night was all it should have been. A night of torment for her. Payback for how she treated us in high school.

What I didn’t count on was she would like it. As if I switch is flicked inside her, she begins to thrive on fear.

So I dare her to get to know me, and to my surprise, she accepts. However, secrets threaten to destroy everything. Once she discovers what I’m hiding, she will leave me for good.

I won’t let that happen, but can I stop her?

High school can be such a tough time, but what’s worse is when the kids that were so high and mighty, bullies, tough guys, or plain old b!tches never grow up and feel as though they are still the top of the food chain after high school.

The Strays are the outcasts, weird kids, the kids that no one wants to take the time to understand or get to know. We’ve all had them at our schools. When the Strays finally strike back the group of four that made their high school years miserable, one of them in particular will find out who her real friends are.

Ray is an entitled girl that lives behind a mask. She pretends to be alright when inside her life and her mind are fracturing. Not knowing who her high school friends truly are or were, she believes that she is untouchable and indestructible, but one night at a Halloween party she finds something that can help her and change how her future is headed. All because the kids she bullied and made outcasts wants revenge on her and her crew.

Zaryn and his crew are no longer the kids that will take being bullied or downcast, they’re looking to get back at the four that were always mean in high school. Their first target is Ray. Zaryn is ready to show her how it feels to be bullied and scared. His only flaw? She liked the fear and now his plan is backfiring, but will the benefits be a win? Zaryn isn’t looking for a relationship with Ray, but when one night shows him her reaction to him and his plan, he dares her to get to know him and things change. Now he has to make sure that the secrets he’s keeping from her won’t destroy what they’ve started.

I liked this book. The characters are interesting, and relatable. The story was relatable, angsty and a bit dark. I’m sure that we’ve all had some experience with the high school “cool” kids showing the others how high school was going to be for them. Not everyone had a bully, but I’m sure to an extend that most did, so this book is relatable in that sense. It was a quick read, but I wouldn’t say it was an easy read. There are some tragic and dark scenes that made me cringe and tear up, but I still enjoyed it. I felt bad for Ray and the Strays, but in the end the main bullies got their comeuppance. I give this book a 5-star review. I find that Erin Trejo can write pretty much any trope and I will enjoy reading it. She’s a master wordsmith.

 Release Date: April 7

Making something off-limits will always make that thing more appealing. 

Jules Warren, my sister’s best friend, was no different. 

She has been the leading lady in every fantasy I’ve had since I was a teenager. 

There was no way I was turning her down when she invited me to her room. 

Those fantasies? They had nothing on the real thing. 

I was given the weekend to make my dreams come true. 

The ramifications, however, will last a lifetime. 

Keeping a secret is one thing. 

Living with the lies is impossible.

Let’s see…where to begin…

I’m inching up on the BIG 4-0. The gray hairs are doubling what seems like daily, and the wrinkles and laugh lines are more pronounced than ever.

I have an amazing husband (Married just over 15 years.)

We have two boys we’re doing our best to raise as respectful gentleman.

I have a master’s degree in criminal justice which I used to work as a juvenile probation office until deciding to write full-time in June of 2019. So that means there’s usually always some criminal/law element to my novels.

If I’m not writing; I’m reading.

My favorite genres recently are bully/reverse harem and enemies to lovers. Maybe I’m reliving my traumatic teen years through the girls who actually end up with the boys. (Not that I would change my history since it’s gotten me exactly where I need to be!)

I love coffee. I miss carbs. Music is LIFE. I try not to be too serious.

She made a promise to her best friend when they were younger and now that she’s older and wants more in her life, she makes a plan to get what she wants, but has she thought about all of the consequences that her plan could cause? He should be off limits, he’s younger and her best friend’s little brother. However, that doesn’t mean that she can’t want him and desire him. He’s the only man that has ever made her feel anything and she wants him to complete her plan for her future, but she’s petrified of the truth coming to light.

He’s had a crush on his sister’s best friend since he was a teen and now years later, that crush has turned into more. When she gives him the green light, he sees what could be and when their weekend tryst has consequences, his whole world explodes around him. He’s a man that wants more and is determined to convince her that he’s the right man for her, but she’s too afraid to give in.

This book really made me angry. I loved Kitt and felt that he deserved so much more than what Jules was giving him. I understand the fear she had, but man she made me so angry. I loved Kitt and his family. Jules is a woman that is selfish, scared, and frustrating to say the least. I loved the book and was happy for the results, but it took a while to get there. I felt that Kitt was more mature than Jules even though she was older. I give this book a 4-star review and look forward to reading Brooks’ story.
