The way he looked at me made me shiver but his eyes rattled something deep inside me.
I hated him with every fiber of my being. His family destroyed mine. His father started a chain reaction that could never be undone. The Santos family ruled the underworld of Florida. They were powerful, vicious, and ruthless. Mine had once ruled D.C.
He may have secrets, but I have secrets of my own. An innocent boy who I’ll protect with my dying breath. My son.
Raphael devises a plan to get what we both want, and without any other options, I reluctantly agree. Even if I know there will be consequences regardless of the outcome.
But in his darkness, a fire burns brighter. Passion grows hotter. Love grows stronger.
Now, we have no choice but to finish this. Together.

These stories keep getting better with each one! Raphael and Sailor’s story was great!
Raphael has distanced himself from his father’s cartel and has his own business as well as his friendship and partnership with the men whose fathers are the worst. Raphael is a man that is to be feared. He is called Diablo in his circles, and he will demonstrate to those that cross him why he is called that.
Sailor is best friends with Aurora Ashford and when they go away during their teen years, when they were wild and looking to get away from overbearing parents and brothers, they found more trouble than they could ever imagine. The worst part is that the trouble was designed to find them, not the other way around.
The Belles & Mobster stories are great, and each story is better than the last. The dark, depraved lives these characters come from and live in gets darker and more depraved with each book too. Raphael has been waiting to find Sailor again for a long time and now that he’s back on her trail and has more information on her, he won’t stop until she is his and he’s able to protect her and her son from the mess up world that they come from. I loved the characters and the story. They are twisted, dark, depraved, and leave me wanting more from the characters. I am looking forward to the Kingpins of the Syndicate stories as well. The Ashford boys are going to fall hard and fast. I can’t wait. I give this book a. 5-star review and await anxiously for more from Eva Winners.
Wow! Talk about a story that sticks with you, won’t let you put it down, and is full of twisted, dark, and interesting characters! I loved this book of the Hell Hound that won’t give up no matter what. He doesn’t always follow the rules, but he’ll fight until he has nothing left.
A man that’s on the wrong side of the law pays for his sins by doing the devil’s bidding and becoming the capsule for a Hell Hound that is given another chance to serve the devil. There’s just one problem, these two have been bound to another.
With the loss of his wife, a man makes a deal at the crossroads, but his payment is not what he expected. Now he’s sentenced an innocent life and lost his family anyways. The Devil will get his payment, one way or another.
This was a great story that was twisted, dark, dangerous, and well written. It was quick paced and very hard to put down. I loved the twists and the depraved story of the Hell Hound and the girl. I give this story a 5-star review.
“… adrenaline fueled, suspenseful nail biting and intense roller coaster ride. Wow, just wow!” ★★★★★ Amazon Review
“Excitement from start to finish, this is the type of story that has always, in my opinion, defined why L. Wilder has such great MC romances.” ★★★★★ Amazon Review
New York Times and USA Today Best Seller L. Wilder brings readers the character they’ve been begging for!
They call me the butcher.
I wash away the sins of the most notorious men in the state.
I take their crimes and make them disappear.
I’m not innocent in this game of cat and mouse, but let me be clear.
I’m not like the men I work for—I’m not a cold-blooded killer.
I’m simply the cleaner.
Or at least that’s all I was…
When I found her, everything changed.
I started to feel things I didn’t want to feel.
I started to want things I had no business wanting.
But there was something about Everleigh…
To make her mine, I would have to save her.
To save her, I would have to cross lines I never thought I would cross.
For her, I would cross them all.
It was time to live up to the name I’d been given.
Billy the Butcher will have readers rooting for forgiveness, mended hearts, and second chances.
The Butcher is a standalone romance with NO cliffhanger and NO CHEATING.

MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 out of 5
Two broken people find each other in the most unexpected way.
He’s a man that turned away from the law to help those that helped him. He goes into situations to hide the truth. When Billy’s world is turned upside down due to a doctor’s mistake, he no longer has the desire to work with the law to find the truth behind a death. After he requests the help of the Ruthless Sinners MC to help him get payback for his wife’s death, he makes the decision to turn his training to help those that helped him.
She is the payment for her father’s debt to a ruthless mobster that is trying to make a name for himself. Her life was going the way she wanted it to, and she was happy, until she opened her door one day and found herself being taken and put into a car with men she didn’t know. Everleigh’s life is changed, and she is isolated from everyone she ever knew. She’s dealt multiple blows and she’s not sure she’ll ever get her life back.
This was a great story and the meeting of these two was unique. I loved it. The Butcher is a quiet man that keeps to himself and only socializes with his daughter and on occasion, The Ruthless Sinners MC. When he decides to go with his head rather than his gut after a job, his whole life changes again, but this time perhaps for the better. He will do what it takes to protect those that he loves and considers family, and nothing is off limits. I loved the story and the characters in this book, the story was action packed, sexy, heartbreaking, and has an HEA. I give it a 4-star review.
Lillian Rouse is new in town and determined to rebuild her life after a divorce. With everything new: a place to live, and a job in a new city, she sees an exciting future within her grasp. What she doesn’t take into account, is the handsome man who calls himself Smoke to overwhelm her senses.
Zack Smoker has worked hard to build his new company, and the last thing he was looking for was a woman to invade his mind. Especially one with little to no good experience in the bedroom. Only the first time he stares into her whiskey-colored eyes, he’s caught in a wave of desire that he can’t escape from.
When Zack learns that Lillian’s new job is at his company, he’s determined to get to know her and teach her things she never knew existed in the bedroom. He is all about pleasing her, but he never expected that he’d have the need to protect her too.
With Lillian pushing Zack away, the burn they feel for one another gets put to the side. Will the fire be extinguished or will Smoke find a way to get Whiskey to burn for him as he does for her?
Growing up in LA, Olivia always had a keen imagination and a talent for writing stories. Even from her early years, she hoped to see her name on a book cover and share her tales with others one day.
After gaining her degree in Creative Writing, she traded the warm weather of LA for colder and wetter winters in NYC. There she met her husband Michael, with whom she has a daughter, Emma, and son, Danny.
Olivia is a self-proclaimed romantic, which has helped bless her with a career writing steamy, contemporary romance novels. She admits that much of her inspiration comes from people watching in corner café’s and observing couples strolling through local parks.
Beyond writing, Olivia loves to indulge in red wine and dark chocolate but can’t stand onions of any kind. After a long day, you can find her relaxing in a warm bubble bath or blowing off steam through dance.
In the future, she hopes to buy a cottage in Southern France where she can continue to write steamy romance novels, with her faithful golden retriever, Roberto, lazily sleeping at her feet.
Zack Smoker has a new company that he’s worked hard to build and it’s doing well. He still gets to work on something that is close to his heart and what his previous job was all about. He’s a protector, a man that always wants to help people. While waiting for his business partner to show up for dinner at a local restaurant, he sees a woman that at first, he has no interest in, but when she almost falls into his lap, he takes a good look at her, and they start a conversation.
Lillian Rouse is in a new town, starting a new life, and a new job. While waiting for her best friend to show up and have dinner with her, she waits at the bar and meets a handsome stranger. While talking with him she finds that she is able to leave the old Lily behind and can let herself be someone she’s always been afraid of being. When she starts her new job, she’s shocked to see who her boss is.
I really liked this first book in the Whiskey and Smoke Duet. Zack and Lily are great characters, but Zack’s best friend and partner made me a little irritated. Zack and Lily have both had problems and pain in their pasts and are trying to find a way to move on with their lives and be happy. However, when trouble finds Lily, Zack wants to step in and help her, but she’s reluctant. Lily is afraid of leaving one frying pan to another with a man that is overbearing and bossy. Besides, she loves her new job and doesn’t want to have to find another one if things go south. This was a great start to a duet, and I am excited to read Burn with Me. I give this book a 5-star review and look forward to more.
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.
Spade is a one and done, love em and leave me kind of guy. He wants no attachments and has avoided them for years. When he sees the beauty at the Care Home, he can’t help himself but flirt with her, but he doesn’t know why she is mad at him or shoots him down.
Sylvia Davis is a woman that is not into attachments, she’s lost a lot in her young life and does not want a permanent relationship or a man to have to answer to. The only man in her life is Big Daddy, her grandfather that raised her. When she has to return to the hometown she left years ago to settle her grandfather’s property, she finds more than she’s looking for. Being a close friend to a Cerberus woman, Sylvia has an escort that she is not pleased to have.
Spade and Sylvia had an encounter months ago, but only one of them remembers it. When they are pushed together for Sylvia to return to her hometown, Spade is still a bit confused as to why she is mad at him, when the night they shared comes back to him, his feelings change. Sylvie is determined to keep her distance from Spade because she’s had enough pain in her life and she doesn’t need a broken heart on top of it. This story has tragedy, cautious H and h, great characters and a secret that threatens to break Sylvie further. I love the story and the characters are always great in the Cerberus MC books. This book was no different. It was an emotional read, but it was great. I give this book a 5-star review and can’t wait for Aro’s book. I love the Cerberus MC books.
I stalk my prey, never taking my eyes off the target.
I’m a sniper by trade, but I’m so much more than that.
My rifle is an extension of me.
I am the bullet.
I am a Hunter of Gunmen.
I was born a protector and I’d die that way.
Leaving the military didn’t change that. It’s why I started my business, Owens Protective Services.
My men are my family, my brothers.
And the people I protect are my mission.
As for the tangos…sometimes you have to flush the toilet of humanity.
But even when protecting clients, I’ve never put myself on the line for anyone like I have for her.
Beth.
She keeps her secrets close to the vest, much like I keep my emotions.
I’ve always been able to compartmentalize a job, but with her, everything’s out of control. I can’t decide if I can trust her or not, especially when she stumbles into the middle of a job. She seems innocent, but aren’t they always?
I see the scared woman backing away from anyone that comes near her. I see the urge to run. But I also see the kitten with claws, ready to come out fighting if anyone dares come after her.
Deep down, I know she’s my destiny.
My reason for fighting.
I will uncover her secrets, and then I’ll do my job, taking out anyone that dares threaten her.
I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5
Cash has his quirks, his morals, and his good luck charm, but he has no idea how to talk to, work with, or interrogate a woman. It’s painful watching him interact with “Beth”. He’s a man that can kill with one bullet, yet he can’t seem to get the answers he wants or needs when the entire city goes dark.
“Beth” is a woman in danger, but she doesn’t trust anyone to help her. She’s seen first-hand what happens to those that try, and she is determined to go it on her own no matter what. Until she decides to take a self-defense class, that leaves her more scared. She may seem like a quiet, shy, scared woman, but when her claws come out, watch out!
Another winning book from Author Giulia Lagomarsino. This book has the humor, danger, action, and great characters as Ms. Lagomarsino’s other books. I love reading Giulia Lagomarsino’s books, they are always a joy to read even with the danger, tragedies, and torment the characters may go through. There’s always a light side to her books and it makes them a one click read for me. Her characters are great, the storyline is great, and the endless action, and danger keeps the pages turning. This story started out with a bang, and didn’t stop until the end of the book, which left me hanging. Now I have to wait for the next book. I love these characters and I can’t wait to read each of their books. I give this book a 5-star review.
She’s made it clear that seeing this contract through is the last thing she wants to do.
Brianna’s determined to keep her distance.
I’m struggling to stay the course.
But in the end, will our hostile hearts give in to temptation?

MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5
Nash Harrington had to turn to his stepbrothers, Hurricane and Bayou when he found himself in a very bad position and his own father wouldn’t help him out. His stepbrothers are part of the NOLA Defiance MC, Hurricane being the president. They aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty, but Nash works on the legal side. When Nash gets his name cleared and creates his own company away from daddy dearest, he finds himself in need of a part planner to help him boost his company. Little does he know that the woman he hires is entwined with his previous company and his biggest rival.
Brianna Cox is a woman that is well known in the party planning business, some say she is the best in New Orleans, so of course someone with a high profile will want to hire her. When she first meets Nash, she sees a very handsome man, but a bit of an arrogant man and is hesitant to take him on as a client, but when he offers her a great deal to work with him, she decides to concede. However, her decision could bite her in the end.
I loved this angsty, passion filled, drama. Nash seems to be so arrogant and a man that looks down on his stepfamily, but he’s really just a man that had to grow up way too fast and make his own path in life. When he sees Brianna, he knows what he wants and although he fights it really hard, he finally gives in. The trouble is that these two need to communicate and learn to trust each other. They have to fight for what they want and there will be a few obstacles, but in the end, everyone gets what they want. I loved the book and the characters, and I am very excited for Lucas’ book to come out. He is going to fall so hard, he’s such a player, and they fall the hardest. I give this book a 5-star review.
Ares has a sad, misunderstood past. Ever since the day of his birth, he’s been treated like an outcast, a monster, but he’s a good man that has taken a dark path. Now he’s a member of the Kings of Mayhem, Tennessee chapter and the Sergeant At Arms. He just wants to live his life on his own path, but when the dancer catches his eye everything, he thought he wanted goes out the window.
Rory made a deal with the devil and now she has to follow through with it, or does she? Rory has lost everyone she has ever loved and when she is manipulated by someone that should love her, and told lies, her life is complicated. She finds herself being torn in two directions and isn’t sure which to follow, but when danger finds Ares, her path is cleared up. She’ll make Ares her top priority.
These two will go to any length to protect each other, even though they’ve both had tragic pasts, their future could be bright. They just have to give in to what their hearts want. Ares and Rory are complicated. The past has a way of coming back around at times and making one’s life a mess. Lies, secrets, betrayal, and cruelty are all part of this book, but there is also a great cast of characters that really make these stories so good. I’ve loved the Kings of Mayhem since the very first book with Cade and Indy and none of these books has been a disappointment. Ares is a great character, and his story is raw, emotional, and tragic, but it ends with an HEA. I give this book a 5-star review and I am patiently waiting for the next book in the series.
Brooke is a Londoner born and raised. She lives with her husband and their daughter. She’s a foul mouthed, dirty minded weirdo. An introvert and would rather spend the night in front of the fire reading, rather than going out and partying.

MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5
Another great story in the Made Series.
Hayden wears a mask that most people see and believe to be the true person, but Adelina sees a different man and even though she’s heard stories and believes she knows who he is, she couldn’t be more wrong. Hayden has made some mistakes in his life, and the one that haunts him still is the day his sister took the fall for a murder he committed. He’ll never forgive himself for letting her take the fall. Now he’s the boss in Indiana and needs to take a wife, he’ll marry into the same family his sister did and bring the Italians and the Irish closer together. When he meets his future wife, he sees a beautiful, laid-back woman that he believes he can be happy with.
Adelina isn’t excited for the union between her and Hayden, but when she’s surprised by his appearance, her life changes and she can’t wait to get out of her parents’ house. While she may not know the man she is to marry, she sees a man that could help her and protect her. She is determined to protect her little sister at all costs as well. When she almost loses her life, everything in her world changes. However, a different danger lurks and could destroy everything.
I loved this story. Hayden and Adelina both wear masks for the world to see, but they’re able to be themselves around each other. Hayden is lethal, but he does have a soft side when it comes to Adelina and Viviana. The Gallagher’s and the Gallo’s will go through a lot in this book, and they will get revenge, but will they be able to move forward with their lives and make their union between the families work? I give this book a 5-star review and can’t wait to read more of the series.
Her brother shipped her to Ireland as a teen when trouble found her. She finished high school while living with her Aunt and Uncle there, went to college, and is now a doctor and back home with her brother. Trouble has found her again, and she’s afraid to tell anyone. Stella is afraid of being sent away again, but there’s no way that Asher “Hellhound”, her brother will do that. Besides, Angel wouldn’t allow it.
Angel’s known that Stella would be his for a long time, the trouble is getting her to realize it and accept it. One night with her isn’t enough and he knows something that she doesn’t, but she will find out soon.
I really liked this book. The story is gritty, suspenseful, has woman drama, and very sexy, overprotective, Alpha men that will do anything to keep their family or those they consider family safe and protected. I love the characters and I’m looking forward to more of this MC and their HEAs. I give this book a 5-star review.
I read lots of books, from mythology retellings to literary fiction and I love to reread books from childhood, this is a place to voice my thoughts for fun. I also like to ramble about things such as art or nature every now and again.
