Arriving at work to find she’s lost more than five-and-a-half days (133 hours), Briony Chaplin, has no recollection of where she’d been or what had happened to her. She is distraught. Has she been ill, or had a breakdown, or could she have been drugged and abducted?

Doubting her own sanity, Briony is fearful of what she’ll find. Yet she’s driven to discover the truth. When she trawls her memories, she’s terrified by visions, believing she may have been abused and raped.

Assisted by her friends Alesha and Jenny, and supported by a retired detective, she’s determined to learn where she’s been and why.

My Review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Psychological thriller, police procedural, revenge, jealousy, and secrets make up this story.

Briony shows up to work on Thursday morning only to discover that she may lose her job. Her boss is a tough lady who is not happy with Briony when she shows up to work in clothes that look as if she’s been sleeping in them, and late. Briony will learn so much about her life and will find that most of her life has been a lie. Her parents have kept secrets from her and Briony’s life will be changed in so many ways when she tries to discover what happened to her.

I read this book in one day and hated for it to end. I was pulled in from the first page and the suspense and intrigue kept my attention until the final page. The details that were pulled out during the investigation of Briony’s missing days were interesting and twisted. I loved it and wanted more. I give this story a 5-star review and suggest it to readers who enjoy police procedural, psychological thrillers, and revenge stories. This story will give you all of this and so much more. It’s a tragic story of deception, jealousy, betrayal, and mind games.

 

My 5-⭐️ Review of Scooter (Cerberus MC Book 11) by Marie James

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

I loved Scooter and Mia’s story. She may have been broken when he rescued her, but he put her back together and helped her heal and be the woman she’s meant to be.

Ryan “Scooter” is a caring, patient, kind man that becomes Mia’s hero when he rescues her. He will have to fight his own battles though when it comes to prioritizing his thoughts and keeping Mia in a box while he’s on missions or he may no longer be a part of Cerberus MC. This will be a battle but he can overcome it if he can get his mind straightened out and figure out where he and Mia stand with each other.

Mia doesn’t realize how strong she is when she leaves the hospital, but Ryan will show her and he will be her strength until she realizes it. After a few weeks in the Cerberus MC compound, she decides to go back home to Louisiana and conquer her demons. While she’s there, she finds her strength and her willpower to move on and live her life on her terms.

These two were meant to be together, but they both had to find their voices and communicate their feelings to each other. Once they were able to open up to each other and voice their concerns and their desires, they both blossomed and found that perfect union. Mia was able to overcome a lot and Scooter helped in so many ways, mostly just being there and making sure she knew that he wouldn’t let anything happen to her. I give this story a 5-star review and highly recommend this series along with this book to readers who love to read MC, military, or suspense books. This is not a typical MC, that’s for sure.

ARC Review of Kingston (Texas Country Criminals) by Bry Ann @AuthorBryAnn

Sexy Kingston

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

This story ripped my heart out of my chest from the very first page. Luckily, it’s back where it belongs and all better. Bry Ann’s books are emotional for me most of the time, but this story was the most emotional for me so far, but awesome!

Kingston Shelby is being groomed to take over the family business and at twelve years old, he is already well known in Burrows, Texas. He’s tough, hard, secretly a tender-hearted man who loves his family and will always do whatever it takes to keep them safe. When he hears a little girl crying, he can’t just walk away and ignore her, he has to check on her and finds that his protective instincts and care extends to her even though he just met her.

Blythe Davis lives life on her own standards. She is loud, proud, and very vibrant. When she is a little girl, she meets her knight in shining armor and ends up having a love/hate relationship with him for many years. She’s loyal to the Shelby family because they have always accepted her for who she is and she has always been there for Iris Shelby, her best-friend, and Kingston’s little sister.

This story is tragic, beautiful, emotional, and so awesome. The evolution of Kingston Shelby in this story is a beautiful sight to watch. He is still hard and tough, but he has such a soft heart when it comes to the people he loves and considers his family. He shows his vulnerable side when it comes to his family, but not many people see that side of him. Kingston is criminal but he is also a protector.

I give this book a 5-star review. I was so happy with the ending of this story, but I am also anxious for Hunter’s story. They men are heartbreakers and I love getting to see into their lives. This book will be available on February 14, a perfect love story for Valentines Day. Another awesome book by Bry Ann. If you haven’t read her books, you really need to. If you’re a fan of dark, mafia, or suspenseful romance, you will love her books. She is one my favorite authors, and whenever she has a new book, I make sure I have plenty of time to read it as soon as I can get my hands on it.

ARC Review of Enigma by Laramie Briscoe @GiveMeBooksPR and @LaramieBriscoe

Enigma Full Wrap

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

Tucker comes from a military family and background. He’s the K-9 trainer and officer for LSERT. A man who has a hard time showing his emotions and opening himself up to others. This becomes a problem when he turns Karsyn away and figures out that he made a mistake. Of course, it took a while for him to realize his mistake, but now he’s ready to open up to Karsyn, if she would just give him the chance.

Karsyn has her own secrets that she has not shared with Tucker and those secrets have defined who she is now. She knows that Tucker is following her home at night and sitting outside her place to make sure she is safe, but she hasn’t spoken to him in almost a year. She’s about to get the opportunity to talk to him and maybe rekindle their romance.

When these two are pushed together to work on a project for LSERT, they may get a second chance to find out if they belong together. They both have grown up in the past year and have realized that they want more in life than what they’ve both had for the past year. When your past comes back to haunt you and only one person can help you through the despair you know you’ve found your other half and life will be good.

I loved this story as much as I have loved the other books in the LSERT and MTF series. They are steamy, suspenseful, and full of Alpha men who serve and protect the women that complete them. The women are strong, independent, and sassy and they keep their men on their toes all the time. They aren’t afraid to tell their men when they need them to step up and take care of them and their families, but for the most part, they take care of their men. I give this story a 4.5-star review and whole heartedly recommend this book as well as the others in Laramie’s LSERT and MTF series.

My 5-Star Review of Crimson by Sophie Lark @HiddenGemsBooks

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

A dark mafia romance story with twists and family deception.

Nadia Turgenev is a Bratva princess who is engaged to the heir to the Oleksei vineyards. After her mother is murdered Nadia finds her mother’s diary from when she was a young woman, before she married Nadia’s father. Since they never had a close relationship, Nadia decides to go to Moscow to her mother’s family home and see if she can discover more about her mother’s life before she married.

Nikolai Markov is a powerful man in Moscow, the man who will take over the family business in the future, but he works with his father for now, a powerful man in the Russian Bratva in Moscow. He is single minded in the family business and determined to get a large contract that will propel his family further into the higher echelons of the Moscow elite. His mind is on one thing the night that his party is crashed by a beautiful woman and her fiancé. Until he finds out that she is from the family that is a blood enemy of his family.

I loved this story and the twists that were revealed were surprising. The deceit, deception of family and the dark world of the Bratva make this story a must read for me. It was as story that I hated putting down and I hated to see end. I give it a 5-star review and encourage readers who like Mafia, Bratva, or stories of family deception to pick it up and read it. This was my first read of a Sophie Lark book, but I do look forward to reading more of her books.

Review of Escape You (A Cole Brothers Novel, Book 3) By Diana A. Hicks @LWoodsPR

EscapeYou_Available

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

Mia Torelli has stepped up and taken over for her Uncle Mickey after he is gunned down to run the crew in New Jersey. She was born into this life and will do all that she can to protect her town and her family. She knows that it won’t be an easy job, but she also knows that she can do it. She just needs to get her crew behind her and on board with a woman in charge.

Tyler Cole is man who has just returned from helping his brothers get out of a situation in
Venezuela and came back with a woman he rescued while there with his brothers. After she tells the brothers what was going on in Venezuela with her former boss, they decided to help her get out of Venezuela. Tyler went to the FBI for help after he returned home only to be denied any help.

The first time Mia and Tyler meet is almost like it was orchestrated by someone. Their immediate attraction is steamy. Neither one is in the position for a relationship at this time and go their own way. However, fate has other plans for them. Their lives are about to change and be twisted. Will they both survive, or will they find their demise? They both live dangerous lives and each day is a question mark.

I loved this story and have to find time to read the other books in this series. The Cole brothers are sexy and dangerous. I give this story a 4.5 star review and highly recommend it to any reader who enjoys mafia, men in law enforcement, the grey lines between right and wrong, or stories that have you hanging on every page.

Review of Arranged: A Dark Mafia Story by Vanessa Waltz @VanessaWaltz @HiddenGemsBooks

Arranged

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

Mia was told that she would not be forced to marry a man that she didn’t love, nor would she have to marry to join families to keep the peace. After her sister disappears and is declared dead, Mia has is told that she will now marry her sister’s fiancé, Alessio. She wants nothing to do with Alessio or staying in the mafia family, even though she has always felt something different when she was around Alessio.

Alessio was not born into the mafia, but that does not keep him from climbing to second in command in the Costa family mafia. He has no problem marrying the little sister to his previous fiancé Carmen. He knows that bringing to two families together and working with Nico to keep peace in their town is the best option.

I really enjoyed reading this book. However, I did get very frustrated with Alessio and Mia for their lack of communication and jumping to conclusions. It almost destroyed their relationship. I enjoyed the suspense and twists in this story and wanted more. This was my first read of Vanessa Waltz, but it won’t be my last. I look forward to reading more. She does a great job with her story and she kept me drawn to the story throughout the whole book. I give this story a 4.5-star review and highly recommend it to readers who love arranged marriage, mafia, and a bit of darkness with their books.

Broken Souls Teaser 1
EXCERPT

Micah scooped me up in his arms, carried me to the bed and gently placed me on the mattress. I could still see the ticking in his jaw. He sat down beside me on the edge of the bed and sighed.
“First of all, do not apologize for your sass. I love it. Second, don’t ever apologize for speaking your mind or standing up for yourself or for demanding answers. Third, I hope to God that you weren’t suggesting that you have to pay me for my kindness with sexual favors. I don’t work like that. I’m not going to lie and say that I don’t like a good fuck, because I do. I am a man after all. But I have never forced a woman to do something she doesn’t want to do and I sure as shit ain’t starting now. I can tell that you haven’t had good experiences where the male species are concerned, but sweetness, I’m going to show you that not all men are snakes.” Micah breathed in deeply through his nose and then released it through his mouth.
“I’m sor—”
“If you say you’re sorry one more time, we’re going to have issues, you and me. The last thing I want to tell you before I get Doc back in here to check your wounds, is this. You are welcome here in the main house for as long as you need to be here. Shit, you’re welcome anywhere on this property. You will be protected, and no one will hurt you. The BRB will do whatever is necessary to ensure that. Now, do you think you will be okay in here for a few minutes while I get Doc? You won’t try to run again?”
All I could do was nod. He’d said a lot in the past few minutes and I tried to take it all in. He couldn’t be real. As I watched him stand up and walk to the door, a thought occurred to me.
“Wait!”
“What, sweetness?” Micah looked over his shoulder at me, eyebrows raised.
“What’s the BRB?”
“Sweetness, the BRB is your family now. We’re the Broken Rebel Brotherhood.”

Broken Souls Now Live 1

My 5-Star Review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

A different kind of MC story that was dark, had some twists and a great story. I loved the story, plot, and characters in this story and cannot wait for the next book to come out. This was the first in a new series about a group of retired Navy SEALs who were looking for a new mission in the civilian world. They took a needed break after leaving the SEALs and their final mission that went the wrong way, but then they all came back together and started the Broken Rebel Brotherhood, an MC that works with the law, but in their own way to help those in need. If they need protection, they have it.

Sadie is at the end of her rope with her husband, she needs to get away from him or she will not see the light of the next day. With the last of her strength, she runs to save her life. However, she may end her own life when she blacks out while driving.

Micah is damaged after his final mission while serving as a SEAL and leading his team into a situation that they are all reeling from. They all have a new mission in life and are needed in their small town. They still have their demons, but their new mission in life will help a lot of people and they are able to skirt the law to save the victims that they come across. Micah is looking for more in his life but he’s afraid that his demons from his last mission as a SEAL will prevent him from finding someone to share his life with. When he happens on the car that is in the field, and finds the redhead unconscious in the front seat, something shifts inside him.

The members of the Broken Rebel Brotherhood MC are loyal to each other, tough, and are all like family. I give this book a 5-star review and look forward to the next book in the series to find out what happens next. The suspense at the end of this book left me wanting the next book right now. If you are a reader who loves MC stories, but with a twist, you will not want to pass this book up.

I love being the VP of the Royal Bastards MC. It was my calling. So was the blood lust. I grew up craving it in any form I could get it and I took it with force. But that wasn’t all I wanted.

No, I wanted her.

The old lady of a rival MC. I watched her as I sated my taste for blood but once I had her, I didn’t know if I could finish what I started. She’s found something else inside of me that I didn’t know I had. Now I don’t know what to do with her.

Kill her? Or Keep her?

Royal Bastards MC

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Holy dark, depraved, twisted, and awesome!

Drake is a twisted biker who has a blood lust and his entire focus on one woman. The VP of the Royal Bastards MC main chapter. His darkness is focused on taking down the scum in Savannah, GA.

This story was dark, twisted, depraved, and a really good read. I read it in a day. His single focus on Evie, the wife of a rival MC, is a mix between a distraction and a focus on his monster side. His childhood made him dark and depraved. Once he has Evie his plans for her change and other plans are hatched.

I give this story a 5-star review and cannot wait for the next book in Royal Bastards MC. If you like MC, dark romance, twisted stories, you will definitely want to one-click this book and read it. I devoured it as soon as I had it in my hands.

Another great story in the Sinister Fairy Tales Collection. A twist on a fairy tale with its own twists and turns that kept the pages turning while I was reading it.

Davina is a siren and the youngest daughter, she’s strong headed, curious, and loyal to her sisters. She gives up so much to keep them safe. She may be the youngest, but she carries a lot of power with her sisters. They fight like sisters, but they are fiercely protective of each other.

Dagan the oldest son of a Viking leader who is sent on a secret mission by his father. He’s told it will help to save his people and protect them from the Highlanders. He is not aware that he is just a pawn in a larger picture. A loyal son and Viking, he will not divulge any information that might ruin his mission, but he has to get free of his prison and attain what he came for so that he can return to his people. The redheaded siren that has distracted him though is wreaking havoc on his mind.

Tobias a pirate that saved Davina and two of her sisters and has vowed to protect them and their secret for life. Another pawn in a larger picture to be used against the one person he is in love with and has vowed to protect. He’s been looking for his long-lost brother forever, but he keeps missing him at port.

A siren, a pirate, a Viking, and a sea witch that are all connected and will fight for what they believe to be their truth and their family. I loved this story and the twists and turns that were in it. There were so many surprises and a dark, sinister story that was hard to put down once I started reading it. I give this story a 5-star review and cannot wait for the next book in the collection.
