“Not since Mac in Machiavellian have I fallen in love with a main character so quickly. Mr. Big might even move to first on my list of hot loveable dangerous mafia men. I just love Bella’s writing and how she pulls me into her stories and I quickly get invested in the characters.” -Terra Drynan-Werder
“Bella’s books are a work of art. She not only paints a beautiful picture and makes you feel all the emotions, she brings her stories to life so you live it. Mr. Big is no different. Yes, this story is romantic with just enough danger. But it’s so much more. It’s hot and steamy and, oh boy … that shower scene gave me butterflies! If you want to experience that giddy, butterflies in your stomach, heart stopping emotion of love at first sight…read Mr. Big. I promise you’ll love it.” -Bonny, Lady Bonny Reading
“Love Big, the family, the romance… the only bad thing was I didn’t want it to end!” -Amber Norris
Leonora
Apart from writing, Bella loves to spend time with her husband, daughter, family, and four dogs. She also loves to read, listen to music, cook recipes that were passed down to her, and take photographs.
Bella was born and raised in New Orleans, a place she considers a creative playground.
My 5 ⭐ Review:
Mr. Big was his grandfather, but everyone still calls him that too. Tullio Bigatti runs Vegas along with is cousin. His family history is quite a story, going back to his grandparents. When a woman shows up in his casino and steals from him, he’s ready to make her pay for her crime, but when hears her name, he’s more intrigued than ready to hurt her.
Leonora Kallistos is just trying to make it in life and keep her younger brothers on the right path. When she discovers that the older one is hurt and how it happened, she’s ready to take matters into her own hands to retaliate for the pain and suffering. She’s not prepared, however, to go against the man that she believes to be the culprit of it. When he tells her that she has to pay for her crime and how, she’s scared.
I loved this story and I can’t wait to read more in the Mobsters of Vegas series to come. Bella Di Corte is a great storyteller and her mafia books are full of danger, darkness, and don’t touch her or die vibes. I’ve loved everyone that I’ve read and can’t wait to read more.
The Black Knights Inc: Reloaded book I was waiting to read! 5⭐’s for this book! Man in Black by Julie Ann Walker, New York Times Bestselling Author.
This was everything I was hoping for and more! Fisher and Eliza are the perfect match! Their story was the one I was waiting to read and it did not disappoint.
Fisher had a rather rough childhood and he’s convinced that he’s not good enough for Eliza. His childhood may have shaped him into who he is now, but it does not define him. He’s a good man and a great friend. He just needs to come to terms with that.
Eliza is connected, but when danger finds her the only people she can count on to protect her and save her are her men in the Black Knights Inc. It doesn’t matter who her father is, she knows she can count on these men to keep her safe.
I loved this story and I am so anxious to read more. The plot of these books has kept me hooked and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. They’re great! I loved the original Black Knights Inc. books and this series – Reloaded has lived up to the originals. I can’t wait to read more.

My 5⭐ Review:
Maverick has done the best he can for his little sister, Clover. He’s joined Defiance so he could give her a better life and a family, when they find their older sister in Defiance, their family unit is coming back together and Maverick sees that he has more support now to help Clover succeed in life. However, even though they are doing their best, Clover is failing classes in high school and needs extra help. The woman that is suggested to tutor Clover is a thorn in Maverick’s side, but Sadie has her own issues too.
Sadie has preconceived notions of the MC and she’s not easily persuaded or inclined to think that the MC is a help for Clover. She does her best to keep herself safe and away from the MC life, but the draw to Maverick is too strong. She may be a thorn in his side, but he’s the same for her. When these two finally figure things out, it could be their downfall.
I loved this story of Maverick and Sadie. As with all of the Defiance MC books, I love the characters and the story lines. The stories draw you in and hold you prisoner until the very end, they also keep the suspense of what’s going on in the background at the front of your mind. I love the Defiance MC books and I can’t wait to get my hands on more. Great story!
🔥 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘 ↠ Seize (The Exiled Eight MC – Detroit Chapter) by Addison Jane is 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘
Title: Seize
I escaped a dark past.
Barely dragging myself from the depths of hell.
But when addiction sinks its claws into your soul, there are only two options—surrender and let it devour you or wage the fight of your life.
Out of the shadows, I found strength and resilience.
What I didn’t expect was to find him.
Bishop wasn’t just the President of The Exiled Eight MC in Detroit.
He was powerful.
He was commanding.
And as my best friend’s father, he should have been off-limits.
But the magnetic pull was relentless, luring us toward a line we knew we shouldn’t cross.
The room was dark now.
Or at least as dark as it could be for five o’clock in the afternoon.
The armchair in the corner of my room was piled high with clean clothes. I didn’t bother folding or putting my laundry away these days, so they were just tossed there to use. Right now, though, I needed the chair, so I shoved the clothes to the floor and wrapped my arms around it, carrying it to the door.
Shay’s eyes followed me in silence as I pressed the back of the chair hard against the door and pulled my gun from the back of my jeans. I fell back into the chair, resting my gun and hand on my knee and getting comfortable.
“Sleep, Shay.”
She pulled the comforter up to her neck, tucking it in around her. “What are you—”
“I’m gonna sit here so you can sleep knowing not a fucking thing in this world is going to get past me,” I told her honestly, clutching my nine millimeter tightly in my grasp. “Now close your eyes.”
It was so hard to sit there and not climb into the bed with her.
But despite knowing my self-control would not stand it, that wasn’t what this was about.
This was about making her feel safe. I’d deal with the rest of these feelings later since it was becoming pretty fucking obvious they weren’t going away any time soon.
But for now, I’d sit here.
I’d protect her from the danger outside this room and the shadows within if I had to.
.png)
She enjoys bringing her books to life with strong female leads, sexy, passionate men and a rollercoaster of twists and turns that will keep readers guessing. She’s a believer in telling love stories that aren’t perfect, but that are still full of passion, adventure, and excitement.
When Addison isn’t glued to her desk writing all the words, you’ll likely find her attempting to navigate single mum life with her beautiful, strong, and kind-hearted teenage daughter. Or you might spot her on the couch binge watching shows she’s already seen a million times.
MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5
Bishop is the president of the Exiled Eight MC, Detroit Chapter. His past isn’t pretty, but he’s made his way in the world and found a family of his choosing. He earned his position as President through the respect and leadership of the club brothers. He’s had his love and isn’t looking to replace Lucy.
Shay had a tragic childhood, but has pulled herself out of the darkness and made a good life for herself. Now she’s a nurse and living a good fulfilling life. However, when her past catches up with her future and she finds that she’s unable to stand by when someone needs help, her life is in danger, again.
I loved the characters as well as the story. An age gap story with characters that shouldn’t be together, but they just can’t fight the pull between them. When danger finds Shay the only person that can protect her will step up and make sure she is safe, however, they will have a battle of their own to fight
4 ⭐’s For the Conclusion of the His Confession Trilogy – His Destiny
His Destiny by Angel RayneMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Dark, gritty, tragic and twisted. The conclusion to Tristan and Luna’s dark, twisted story.
The conclusion to this trilogy was great! The story drew me in and held on tight until the ending. It was twisted, dark and tragic throughout, but the ending was great. Tristan’s dark, twisted past haunts him and holds him prisoner until Luna shines a light on and shows him that life can be lived and not just move through the motions. She gives him a reason to live and look for the light.
Luna has uncovered many secrets, but she’s also kept her own from Logan. Now that all of the secrets have to light, she needs to find a way to move on and live her life, but can she find a place for Tristan to live it with her? Can they overcome the darkness and find a way to live their lives rather than move through life?
I loved this trilogy and the characters in the book.

🔥 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘 🔥Ty (Hell’s Handlers MC – Florida Chapter) by Lilly Atlas is LIVE! + My 4⭐ Review #KindleUnlimited
As VP of the Hell’s Handlers Motorcycle club, Ty is no stranger to complications, but nothing could have prepared him for Kelsie. Months ago, he and his club were part of a daring rescue that pulled her from the depths of a human trafficking nightmare. She emerged haunted by her ordeal and inexplicably drawn to only one man—Ty. Though she fled the help his club offered, destiny brings her back into the protective orbit of the Hell’s Handlers.Now, Kelsie is grappling with shadows that refuse to leave her side. Still terrified of the world and haunted by her past, she finds solace in the strength of Ty’s presence. As their bond deepens, parts of Kelsie she thought lost resurface. But as hope starts to bloom, the past crashes into her life.
Kelsie’s estranged, notorious family reemerges, bringing a storm of danger and drama that threatens to unravel everything she’s worked for. Ty and Kelsie must navigate the turbulence of her haunting past, a twenty-year age difference, and the fragile threads of trust they’ve just begun to weave.
With so many forces pulling at the seams of their budding relationship, the question isn’t only whether love can triumph but also whether they can survive long enough to find out. In a world where trust is as precious as life itself, can Ty and Kelsie hold on to each other and defeat the demons—both within and from their enemies?
MY REVIEW: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5
Ty is the VP of the Hell’s Handlers MC, Florida Chapter and he’s older than the young girl he helped rescue from traffickers. He’s the only man that can touch Kelsie without her freaking out after what she’s been through. He keeps his distance though because he wants her to heal, but when she disappeared without a trace he can’t get her out of his mind. So when she resurfaces, he stays by her side. Ty has his own past to deal with too.
Kelsie is fighting her mind and her past, so her healing is taking longer. When her past life comes back to the surface, she has a hard time coping and finds herself back in the protection of the Hell’s Handlers MC, but she finds that she wants to open up a bit and is making friends with the Old Ladies. Her past is is haunting enough, but when secrets are revealed about it, she’ll find refuge and safety in the arms of an older man that will do anything to protect her.
I love Ty and his protective and caring nature with Kelsie. The story was heartbreaking, but also a beautiful match. I loved it!
Trick: Special Edition by Laramie Briscoe 5 ⭐️ Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5
My first read of Trick and it was awesome! I loved the entire book. Trick and Hadley are great together and perfect for each other. I love the characters as well as the storyline.
Trick is looking for a second chance at life. He has his own business and with one misstep, he’s in trouble again with the law. His only chance at staying out of jail is a little girl and her mom. He’s paired with a six year old girl in the Champion Partners program to help the little girl and give her the male role model she’s craving.
Hadley has been struggling to make ends meet and to bring her daughter back to her and give her the support she needs to brighten her eyes again. She’s not too sure how this program or the man Riley is paired with will work, but she’s willing to try and to give him a chance. When she sees Riley start to open up to Trick things start to look bright for Hadley and Riley. I love the pink Converse n the cover!
4⭐’s For One Night Redemption (Bellehaven Hotties #3) by Laramie Briscoe and Chasity Bowen
One Night Redemption by Chasity BowlinMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
One night and one tragic event changes everything for Camden. His best friend is shot while on a call and Camden is there with him. It changes his whole perspective of how he’s living his life. Realization that he needs to step up and go after the one woman that means so much to him rather than run from her and the feelings he’s trying to ignore.
Cassie has known Camden since high school and has crushed on him almost as long, but after they finally go out and then she doesn’t hear back from him, she’s decided to block her heart from him. However, he has other plans when he finally figures out that he was an idiot.
I love Laramie Briscoe and she knows how to write great characters, and with her corroboration with Chasity Bowlin on the Bellehaven Hotties, I ‘ve found a new to me author and want to read more of Chasity’s work. The stories in this series are fun, intense at times, and full of wonderful characters. I can’t wait for the next one to come out.
