Sofa King Hard by Madison Faye

Synopsis

Big. Strong. Really good with his hands.

Great at fitting into tight spaces.

No job too hard. No job too dirty.

No stopping him once he’s unchained…

The Marines made me tough. Prison hardened me. Five long years I’ve been away—chained up like a beast without knowing the touch of a woman, serving time for a crime I didn’t commit.

I’m out now, and the proud owner of Sofa King Movers. I’m supposed to keep my head down and play nice, but that’s before I lay eyes on her.

Jillian Lafayette. Tempting, beautiful, and very off-limits. But five years does something to a man. It makes him hungry. It makes him crazy, driven, obsessed. And when I catch her being a bad girl with her hands where they don’t belong?

Oh, there’ll be no stopping me from claiming what’s mine and showing her just how hard I can be.

I know she’s a client. And her shithead of an ex-husband has mob ties I can’t pretend aren’t there. But one look and I’m addicted. One taste, and I know she’s mine.

Mine to protect. Mine to keep safe.

…Mine to keep for all for myself.

Five years is a long time. Jillian’s let the leash off the beast, and once I get my dirty hands on her, there’ll be no stopping me from taking it all.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Well this was a hot read! Kane hasn’t had a woman in years and Jillian is recently divorced. They meet when Jillian uses Kane’s moving company and the sparks fly as soon as he catches her with her hand in her pants! Lol! Kane and Jillian were so cute!

From The Ashes by Amber Lynn Natusch!

Synopsis

Piper Jones can’t catch a break.

After a lifetime of animosity and indifference from the supernatural community, she thought she’d finally found a home with the vampire king’s enforcers. Then the dark and mysterious Merc walks into her life, and it takes a disastrous turn for the worse.

Now under attack by enemies both known and unknown, Piper has little choice but to flee her refuge—and start over in a place few vampires ever go. Rural Alaska seemed to fit the bill, except for Knox and his crew of werewolves. The pack shares a connection with Piper that few of them can explain, and none of them can escape. With time running out for answers, Piper must fight the demons of her past to ensure her future—or die trying.

my thoughts 💭

3.5✨✨✨

Piper reminds me of the avatar character lol! She can control nature. I enjoyed the story and the action! I just hate that Merc got put under a spell that had him trying to kill Piper and Piper went and started falling in love with Knox. I thought the book was well written I just don’t care for the love triangle part. Don’t the vampires mate for life? Guess I’ll be reading the next book lol

Blurb

Criminal. Outlaw. Murderer.

That’s only a few of the names people call me, and all of them are true.

I did the unforgivable. I killed a man in broad daylight.

I did it for her.

I paid my dues, did my time.

Now I’m out and I want her back, no matter the cost.

She hates me, but that won’t stop me from hunting after her.

I need her to be mine again.

And there’s a secret I have to tell …

But everything has its price.

I’m willing to pay.

Is she?

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️

I felt like there was a book I should’ve read prior to this one. It seemed like the book started in the middle and you have no idea what’s going on. I have no clue what happened to Daisy. At one point it was talking about a guy doing something to kids at the daycare but later on it seemed like she had cancer? How’d Hanson even know the guy he killed was a match so Daisy could even get his liver?

Cards Of Love: The Emperor by Fawn Bailey

blurb

In Venice, Italy, a world of cursed diamonds, hidden secrets and twisted fantasies awaits a star-crossed couple who were meant to be together. But can they work together to bring down a villain? And will their love survive it all… or break into a thousand pieces?

GINGER

I’ve always been a pawn. That stops now. I’m ready to play. I’m ready to win.

My past is catching up with me. I left everything behind twice – first, when my sister killed her twin and our parents, and then again when I walked away from the love of my life, my soulmate, Ryker Marino.

Now, both of my worlds are colliding. My sister is coming for me, but not if I find her first.

Astor is crazy. Evil. She won’t stop until she’s killed our entire family.

I follow her to the other side of the world – Venice, Italy.

Here, a game of cat and mouse draws me further into her trap.

Here, one of us will end the other.

But what Astor doesn’t know… is that I’m ready for a fight.

RYKER

I’m The Emperor. L’Imperatore. And I’m going to win my girl back.

Ginger disappeared without a trace seven years ago. I uprooted my life because of her. I moved to a different continent. I became obsessed with a cursed diamond that has shaped my family’s lives for centuries.

But what if the stone isn’t to blame for our misfortune? What if everything, including losing Ginger all those years ago, is my fault?

I have to face my fears. I have to find Ginger. I have to bring her back.

But there is a third player involved in this game of chess… And she’s about to beat us both.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was just an okay read for me. I didn’t feel like it was a dark romance…I didn’t hate it and I didn’t love it either. I didn’t like how Ryker is “The Emperor” but didn’t check out his assistant’s background or anything…The whole Astor situation made no sense to me. She sent notes about harming Ginger but didn’t really want to hurt her and her excuse was that her obsession got the better of her….She’s been sending threatening notes and that’s all she had to say? 🤷🏾‍♀️ Ryker and Ginger has some good steamy scenes but overall this one just wasn’t for me. I really liked the cover.

My Best Friend’s Boyfriend by Amy Brent.

AVA

I’ve lost my mind.

That’s the only explanation for it.

He’s my best friend’s boyfriend. I broke every girl-code out there when I let him kiss me.

And then what happened after…

But the dating agency set us up. And I couldn’t say no to those gorgeous gray eyes focused only on giving me pleasure.

I just wanted to lose my virginity. Now I’m afraid I’ll lose Logan.

What happens when I tell him I’m pregnant?

LOGAN

She blew me away when she walked in the room.

Olive skin and bright blue eyes that scratch an itch I never knew I had.

When I was with her best friend, I wouldn’t dare think about how much I wanted Ava.

Except in my dreams.

Now Ava’s here for real. In my arms, in my bed…

Mine. Forever.

But when I wake up, will she still be here?

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a cute story even though it had its cheesy moments. Camilla wasn’t a good friend to Ava and definitely not a good woman for Logan. Ava is nagged so much by Camilla to lose her virginity that she decides to join an agency that helps her plan the evening she wants. Logan is heartbroken after finding out his woman has been cheating on him. Logan signed up to be a teacher or guide to make himself feel better and the person he ends up teaching is Ava. They had great chemistry and I loved them! Ava and Logan fit each other perfectly. I thought the story was well written and enjoyed reading it!

Release Date: October 5, 2018!

Add to your Goodreads TBR: bit.ly/2OjcEIS

Synopsis:

His job is to heal the broken…she may be what breaks him.

Jesse

Jesse Mathis’ life was in shambles.

He lost the woman he loved just months before their wedding, his career as a surgeon was at an all time low, and his forbidden feelings for his best friend were growing more confusing by the day.

Taking a step back from his once perfect life, Jesse makes a mistake that threatens to change his future forever.

Forced to deal with the dark secrets that now threaten his happiness, can Jesse decide where his heart truly lies? And will admitting his feelings destroy the only safe thing he has in his life: the girl who’s always had his back?

***

Quinn

Quinn Reynolds has her life together.

Sure, Jesse thinks she is against all forms of commitment, but Quinn knows the truth: she can’t commit to anyone as long as she still loves him.

When one mistake changes Jesse’s future forever, Quinn must decide whether she can love him through it or if she will have to finally move on.

And, when another woman with a surprising connection to Jesse comes into the picture, everything Quinn thought she knew about her best friend is called into question.

With dark secrets and revelations that will change everything coming to light, will Jesse and Quinn make it through with their life, friendship, and, most importantly, their hearts in tact?

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading The Cleaner since characters from the book are mentioned. Jesse and Quinn were cute. Quinn has had a crush on her best friend Jesse but never made a move and Jesse finally noticed her as a woman at his ex’s wedding. It was an enjoyable read, I’m glad Jesse got his happy ending!

-Blog Tour/Review- Cursed By Fire by Danielle Annett!

Title: Cursed By Fire

Author: Danielle Annett

Genre: SCI-FI, Fantasy, Suspense

Blood is going to spill …

I just hope it won’t be mine.

After two weeks of searching, I found the seven-year-old I’d been hired to find too late. His body broken and discarded. Dead.

My boss doesn’t want me to hunt down his killers. It’s too dangerous.

But the Pacific Northwest Pack steps in, hiring me to bring the bastards to justice.

Turns out the kid was half shifter. And shifters don’t abandon their own.

In a search that takes me through the maze of shifter hierarchy and the depths of the paranormal underworld, these killers underestimate how determined I am to mete out their punishment. Vigilante justice is the only kind these people understand.

Yes, blood will spill. And I’m determined it will be theirs.

You’ll love Cursed by Fire because its a fast paced Urban Fantasy novel with a kick butt heroine and unexpected twists around every corner.

~Release Blitz/Review~ Smiley by LeAnn Ashers!

Title: Smiley

Series: The Grim Sinner’s Originals MC Series

Author: LeAnn Ashers

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date:

Adeline

It was completely unexpected. I’d never imagined he would come into my life. From the moment I met him, I knew there was no going back. He made me feel things I had never experienced before:

Safety

Love

Happiness

I was floating on air. Nothing could touch me with him by my side. He became my everything.

Smiley

I’d never expected my life to change upon walking into the Devil Souls MC. At first glance, I almost fell on my ass, and I knew I had to have her. She was everything I never knew I wanted, and hell if that didn’t stir something in me. Adeline gave me something I had been missing my whole life:

Passion

Desire

Contentment

I’m the retired president of the Grim Sinners MC but, in the end, you never really leave. The Devil Souls and The Grim Sinners clashed and were brought together to fight the biggest battle yet.

We had to protect our families at any cost.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I just loved this book! It was so sweet and well written I couldn’t put it down! Adeline has had a hard life and still struggles with some of her demons while being a mom to everyone! She was just that sweet mom you could talk to and depend on. Smiley comes in and slays all her demons and shows her how awesome she is. Smiley just wanted to see his Ade smile and make her happy. They had great chemistry, I just loved everything about them! I can’t wait to read the kids stories!

•Release Blitz/Review• Talkin’ Trash By Lani Lynn Vale!

Title: Talkin’ Trash

Series: Bear Bottom Guardians MC Book 2

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: October 5, 2018
Cover Design: Cover Me Darling, LLC

Linc has two very important things on his mind—professional football and his motorcycle club.

What he does not have on his mind is the woman that drives him crazy and makes him want to do stupid things, like throw caution to the wind.

Nope, not Linc.

At least, that’s the lie he tells everyone.

In reality, every time Conleigh’s name is mentioned, he squirms.

She’s everything that he wants, wrapped up in a cute little package that is stamped ‘hands freakin’ off.’

She’s four years younger than him, in school to be a doctor, and thinks football is stupid.

Even more, Linc and Conleigh get along like oil and water.

There’s not a single second that they’re in each other’s presence that they’re not at each other’s throats.

But all it takes is hearing that she’s in trouble for Linc to drop every single thing—football and MC duties alike—and head to her side.

A side that he’ll remain at until they either kill each other, or finally give into the heat between them.

Either way you look at it, he’s well and truly screwed.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I just love Lani Lynn Vale books so much! This book did not disappoint! There’s the we’re meant to be romance and MC drama what’s not to love?!?! Conleigh and Lincoln have always known they were meant to be but had to put their relationship on hold just before they got serious. When Linc finally decides he’s no longer waiting and its time to be together Conleigh is kind of reluctant but Linc wasn’t letting her go. They were so adorable! Conleigh was cute but she was naive and little stubborn. Lincoln was a sweetheart but a butthead for letting their dads keep them apart for that long. I was so glad when he just decided their time is now! I definitely recommend reading this book! I can’t wait to read the next one!

I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 9, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.
