Book Review: •River Wild• by Samantha Towle!

Source: Kindle Unlimited

Synopsis

A new town. A new identity. Pregnant and alone.

And far away from a past that can never find me.

River Wild.

Moody. Sullen. Asshole.

And my new neighbor.

I have no interest in befriending River. And he definitely doesn’t want to be befriended by me.

Then, he helps me rescue an abandoned dog. And, that day, I see something in his eyes that reflects back in my own. Sadness. Pain. Loneliness.

I know all of those things well.

An unwanted and unexpected friendship that somehow works. Then, without warning, it turns into something more.

River and I both have our secrets, and that’s okay. Because I understand him. And he understands me.

For the first time in my life, I have something I never thought I would have—happiness.

But happiness isn’t forever. Not for people like me.

Especially not when my past is waiting just around the corner, ready to come and take it all away.

My Thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a nice and enjoyable book. Carrie is pregnant and on the run from her abusive husband. Her new neighbor is River and he’s been through his own abusive situation and carries guilt. River is a jerk but he’s nice to Carrie….sometimes lol. They were so adorable and I loved their chemistry! They were totally different but they fit so well together

Book Review: Dirty Kisses by Kenya Wright!

Synopsis

I knew one thing. He was the boss.

He walked like one, like he owned the ground his feet stepped on. Like he owned the air that we all breathed in. Like he could eat up the universe, if he wanted to.

**

Someone killed Rumi, the Russian Mafia’s top washer in New York.

Kazimir, the head of the Bratva, has come to NY to find the murderer. They call him The Russian Lion, known for having over two hundred kills. By the age of twenty, the FBI placed him ten steps away from Usama Bin Laden on the Most Wanted List. To kill his washer begins a dark and deadly war.

Unfortunately, Emily falls on Kazimir’s radar. Her brother is suspected of being involved in the murder. To save her brother, she is forced to launder Kazimir’s money; but she’s a perfect fit for the job. Known as a con to others, called a hustler by many, she’s the best washer in Harlem, keeping low-key gangsters on their toes.

At first, Kazimir and Emily have a tricky arrangement based on fear and danger. Her working for him is like balancing on a tight rope. He’s a monster wrapped in a gorgeous package. Still, there’s an air of sensuality around him that makes her forget sometimes how terrifying he can be.

Sexual tension heats up between the two, but one violent night changes everything, pitting everyone against each other—Russians, Jamaicans…anyone in Harlem with a gun. Kazimir and Emily must somehow learn to trust each other before they end up being one of the dozens of dead bodies left on the streets of New York.

But there are hidden secrets and twists intertwined with Rumi’s murders. When the truth comes to light, Kazimir’s money won’t be the only thing that’s dirty. And, unfortunately, their rising attraction may not survive.

From the Erotica Bestselling Author of No Ordinary Love, Filthy Lies, and Power.

Steamy sex and mind-blowing suspense collide in this BWWM Romance of a Russian mafia boss and the one street smart woman he can’t control.

My Thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I enjoyed this book! The drama, bratva, betrayal and darkness! I absolutely loved Kazimir and Emily’s chemistry! I was kinda freaked out about Emily’s darker side but I mean it’s nothing compared to Kaz being the Lion! Soon as I was done with his one I had to download the next one to find out how they’ll deal with the betrayal!

Gypsy Blood(All The Pretty Monsters book 1) by Kristy Cunning

Synopsis

I’m not all that special, really. Or uncommon. I’m sure there are a lot of girls with old gypsy blood who see the dead, have killer cults hunting their family, and turn into something that gets scary when they panic. Yep. Completely unoriginal, if I do say so myself.

Move along. Nothing to see here. Nope. I’m just an ordinary girl.

I wish people would believe that.

I’ve been labeled as one thing or another for most of my life:

Death Girl.

Crazy Gypsy Girl.

Gothic Chick.

Monster…

It took my mother’s death for me to finally start getting answers about what’s really been going on. Unfortunately, most of the answers come from men…who aren’t just men. Somehow, I’ve gone and landed myself in a world truly filled with monsters, and I’m starting to think this is where I should have been all along.

Only…I don’t understand what’s going on. I’m walking into the middle of a story that’s thousands of years old, and I’m the new girl on the block who doesn’t have a clue how this world even works. My only guides happen to be the most lethal of the bunch.

They decide who lives or dies. They decide who gets stabbed or tortured.

Yeah…

I’ve gone and drawn attention to myself, and the ones paying attention are the ones everyone else seems to fear.

How do these things always happen to me?

**Reverse Harem

**Language warning

**Sexual content

**Dark Humor

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a compelling read. It’s a reverse harem but it’s like they’re kind of enemies but not really lol. Violet takes over her mom’s business after her mysterious death. Violet wants to know more of what’s going on but nobody is really giving her answers or helping her but a ghost she meets names Ace. Ace is really Arion and crazy as heck. Damien, Vance and Emit put him in the ground a while ago due to him being a crazy person. Arion tricks Violet into freeing him and I felt bad because she really wanted to help her other ghost friend not become the answer to they guys curse problems. I can’t wait to read the next book that cliffhanger ending is driving me crazy lol!
