I love reading Sue’s books. Not only do I get completely drawn into the story, but it is also educational, emotional, and mood lightening at times.
Shawnee Daniels, Mr. Mayhem, Poe, and Jacy Lee will come up against a large group that could be their down fall, but with determination, faith in their reason behind this fight and the love and respect for the earth, animals, and their destiny will keep them focused and fighting.
This story brought many emotions out while reading, anger, sadness, fear, and the lightness that always eases the rough spots when needed that Sue includes in her stories. Shawnee is still as sassy, strong, and kind as always.
I always find that I learn something new when reading the books in the Mayhem Series and Tracking Mayhem was no different. I had no idea about the fur of a polar bear and I found that very interesting. I loved this story and I can’t wait to read the book in the series, they keep getting more intense as they go along, and I’m looking forward to more. I give this book a 5-star review.
Albert Something about her sets my blood on fire. She’s a wild cat with balls of steel. You cross Rosey, and she’ll slit your throat while laughing about it. I know because I’ve seen her in action. But, damn, does she give me the run-around, and maybe that’s part of the appeal. Then there’s the side she doesn’t show to anyone. The one where her eyes fill with pain and she becomes vulnerable. That’s the side I want to know. That’s the side I’m falling in love with.
Rosey He thinks he’s got me all figured out, and maybe he has, but there’s no point in getting any ideas. We can never happen. Albert Taylor isn’t the sort of man you can mess with and walk away from. So, why do I find myself constantly baiting him for a reaction? I’m addicted to playing games around him, and the weird thing is, he lets me. And I like that side of him.
That’s the side I want to see more of. That’s the side I’m falling in love with.
Can love break down even the strongest of walls? We’re both about to find out.

For as long as I could remember, Saverio Macchiavello had been a part of my life.
He was the son of the Machiavellian King of New York, and I was considered Italian royalty—a princess in the infamous Fausti family. Our families had been friends since before I was born.
A connection existed between us that wasn’t normal. It was the strongest thing I’d ever felt. It tethered me to him whether I wanted it to or not. One of us couldn’t seem to exist without the other. It was the same sort of epic love my parents had.
I was terrified of it. Because being a part of the Fausti famiglia meant danger always lurked in the shadows. And as a top soldier for my family, and my personal bodyguard, Saverio would die to see me safe.
And someone wanted me dead.

MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5
Saverio Macchiavello has known most of his life who he would marry, and it wasn’t due to an arranged marriage, it was how his heart latched onto the Fausti Princess. He was determined to make her his and marry her, he just had to keep working on her to get her to agree. When her life is threatened he will put his life on the line to protect her and keep her safe, no matter the obstacles in his way. The Machiavellian Prince will will his Princess.
She is afraid that history is repeating itself, and she does not want to put the only man she loves in the same position her father was put in years ago. However, she may not have a choice in the matter. When she has to make the choice, her grandfather may step in and make it for her, because she wants to follow her heart, but her head is telling her not to. When it becomes too dangerous for her to continue her life the way she wants, Saverio will stand beside her and fight for what he wants. It may be a battle for the ages.
I was so happy to return to this world! I love the characters and the stories that have been told by Bella Di Corte in this original series and to have the second generation come to life now is beyond wonderful. I love the characters! I loved this story of Saverio and Mia, they are so deeply in love, but she’s fighting him every step of the way because she wants to protect him. She’s a true crime family princess and Saverio will not be deterred. This was a great start to the Next Generation of the families and I can’t wait to read more.
“Little girl, I’m only going to ask one more time…”
Things have not been going Ivy Jenkins’ way recently–well, until Steele Mattson rescues her. Being thrown away like garbage does a job on a woman’s self-confidence and bravery. Add in scrambled memories from a head injury and Ivy knows she qualifies as a hot mess, even if she is the assistant bank manager.
Steele’s father established the Shadowridge Guardians MC. He’s as dedicated to protecting the good citizens of his city as he is to creating the perfect weld on an old-school chopper, and he doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty to take care of problems. When he finds the petite woman in a very bad situation, he dives in to help. What he doesn’t expect is to discover the rescued treasure is his.
He’ll stop at nothing to hunt down those who endangered her and make them pay.

Ivy Jenkins is just living her life and doing her job, when she walks right into trouble. Not able to escape her captors, she finds herself needing to be rescued, but has no hope that she will be. When she is pulled from the tin that is holding her in place, she’s afraid that her captors have come back to finish the job. However, she’s being rescued by a sexy biker that hears her banging and pulls her to safety.
Steele Mattson is the President of the Shadowridge Guardians MC, and he’s on his way home from the local hang out when he hears a banging noise in the parking lot. After looking for what is making the noise and thinking he’s going to find an animal thrown away like garbage, he is surprised when he finds a young woman, bound, and in a gunny sack. Calming the young woman down, he calls for help from his brothers and an ambulance.
Ivy has a lot to work through after her abduction and she isn’t safe yet, the men that took her are still out there, so Steele and his MC brothers are protecting her and will find the threat. After all, Ivy is Steele’s Little Girl now. The danger is closer than Ivy thought and Steele will have to rescue her again before it’s all over.
I enjoyed this story. While I’m not really bid on this type of story, it was a good story and well written. The MC genre is what drew me in and I was intrigued by the Daddy romance surrounding an MC. The characters were great and I will read the remaining books in this series because the characters drew me in and I want to find out more about the characters and their lives. I give this book a 3.5-star review.
It takes a certain skill set to do my job, and distractions get in the way of doing it well. Thia Ames has become the biggest distraction of all, but I can’t afford to get involved. Not only am I almost twenty years older than her, but acting on my emotions could very well get us both killed. Fans of Brittney Sahin’s The Stealth Ops Series and Brynne Asher’s The Killers will love Resurgence by Shelby Gunter, a steamy, age gap, military romantic suspense.
We’re the ones who go into enemy territory when no one else will. It’s dangerous, it’s secretive, and we’re good at it.
It takes a certain skill set to do my job, and distractions get in the way of doing it well. And meeting Thia Ames has become the biggest distraction of all.
But when Thia is put up for auction on the black market, my team is tasked with her protection. She is my mission, and protecting her should be my sole focus. But the shadows that lurk behind her bright smile hint at a dark past that calls to the hero in me.
I can’t afford to get involved. Not only am I almost twenty years older than her, but acting on my emotions could very well get us both killed.
Her life hangs in the balance. I couldn’t save her before, but this time, I’ll do whatever it takes… or die trying.
“Fine, I’ll get Declan to tell me.” Her confidence makes me want to smile.
“How? He wouldn’t betray me for anything.”
“Look at this face.” She points towards her nose as if I haven’t been staring at her this whole time. “You don’t think my adorable little face couldn’t get him to squeal?”
I narrow my eyes at her. “You wouldn’t.”
“Watch me.” She takes off running toward the warehouse. Surprise causes me to falter, then I’m running after her, my legs eating up the distance in no time. She looks over her shoulder, her eyes lighting up when she finds me chasing her.
I get two steps away from her when I reach out to grab her around the middle. She squeals, her laughter ringing out as she wiggles to get out of my hold.
“Oh, no you don’t,” I huff out with a laugh. I go to lift her over my shoulder, but she’s too squirrelly. She relaxes her body, her weight dropping straight to the ground. I lose my footing with the sudden change, heading toward the ground like a fallen oak tree.
Twisting at the last second, I land on my shoulder, then roll over to my back, pulling Thia with me to keep her from hitting the ground.
Her eyes are wide, sparkling with humor and surprise. “I thought you were supposed to be some badass Marine, and you just got taken down by a girl with no training.”
My mouth pops open in surprise. “You little shit.” Before I can think, I flip us over, one hand on the back of her head, the other digging into her sides as she squeals.
“Okay, okay, okay! I give!” She squirms under me, trying to get away from my tickling fingers, all while giggling like a little girl.
I stop, holding my fingers at her side. “Take it back.” The mischievous light in her eyes makes me want to kiss her.
“Fine,” she pants. “You’re the most badass Marine who ever lived, even though you fell while chasing me.” She grins.
I throw my head back, laughing. “I hate that I can’t even be mad at you for that last quip because it’s true.”
Thia’s hand moves from my shoulder and down my arm. It’s then I’m fully aware of our position, of every part of me that’s touching her. I catch her gaze, her own realization happening at the same time as mine. The heat in her eyes sends my body careening off the edge.
I tighten the fingers speared through her hair as her hands move across my chest. It’s like fire racing through me. It’s as if she’s branding me with her touch so I’ll never be able to feel anything like it again.
A throat clearing behind me has my head whipping up. Connor looks at us with his eyebrows raised. “If you want to finish up whatever this is, I think I’ve figured out how to make the tracker work.”

Author: Bella Di Corte Genre: Mafia romance/ Romantic suspense / Fairy tale retelling Release Date: August 11, 2023 Cover Design: Qamber Designs
Sometimes in fairy tales, the heroine falls in love not with the hero, but with the villain.
That was my story. I fell for the man many called the Beast of Boston, Cillian O’Callaghan. I didn’t plan on it, especially after he stole me away from my father and forced me to marry him. But like all good tales, there were twists along the way.
The world saw only a beast when they looked at Cillian, but I knew him as a man with haunting secrets—secrets that only drew me closer to him.
When I looked into those gorgeous gray eyes, they made me want to stay with him forever.
In all fairy tales, though, there’s a price to pay for happily ever after, and I wasn’t sure if blood would be the cost of ours.

𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 I’ve never had a life. I’m not talking about the freedom money can buy because I have that in spades. I’m talking about the freedom a girl gets from growing up with four overprotective Del Rossa men…which is zero.
Zero freedom to have a social life. Zero freedom to date. No guy dares to glance my way. I’m Dark Sovereign property in this town, and everyone knows you don’t touch what belongs to the Del Rossas.
Fifteen years ago, I was a lost little orphan. The Del Rossa family took me in, cared and raised me like I was their own. But not him.
Not Nicoli.
He’s always treated me differently. Like I don’t belong in their world. Like I’m this temporary thing they shouldn’t get attached to.
Maybe I should be thankful that he ignores me most of the time. But for some stupid reason…I’m not.
Whenever he looks my way, I can’t seem to breathe right. When he’s close, I’m a mess on two feet.
But Nicoli has made it crystal clear that the girl he grew up with is a hard limit for him. I’m the one woman he’ll never touch…
…not even if I beg him to.
