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!

Review: •Her Marine Daddy• by Lee Savino

Synopsis

Marine hottie takes control…

I wasn’t looking for romance. Nothing like a sadistic ex husband to make me run into the arms of my two favorite men (Ben and Jerry). I never expected a hottie like Dane Hutchinson to be into me, much less take control and fulfill my every fantasy.

Then I run into the guy of my dreams. Literally. (I’ve gotta stop rushing around in high heels). He’s the yummiest thing in the coffee shop, and for some reason he’s into ME.

Dane looks like he lifts cars for a workout. Me? I can barely get down to the gym. I try to run, but Fate puts us on a blind date and Dane declares he’s not going to let me get away again. I’ve got my second chance at love…whether I want it or not.

Fun fact: Devil Dogs are a nickname for members of the United States Marine Corps, so dubbed by the Germans in WWII.

Even funner fact: shibari is the Japanese art of bondage, and it turns out getting tied up is my favorite foreplay ever…

Enjoy this sinfully sexy story chock full of Marine-loving goodness.

***

Originally part of the USA today bestselling ‘Hero to Obey’ boxset, Devil Dog is a standalone novella with smoking hot sex scenes, kink and a sassy heroine who finds a hero who will fight for her. With HEAs x 10 (because this Marine goes above and beyond the call of duty…)

My Thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a nice book. Cassandra is going through a divorce. She meets the hot, muscled marine at a coffee shop and sparks and embarrassment fly lol. When they get around to dating they are such a cute couple. I liked how sweet and caring Dane was with Cassie. He knew that she was going through things but he lets her know he’s not going anywhere and he proves it to her. This was an enjoyable, easy read with some hot scenes!

No Claim by G. Bailey review!

Or will they go to war?

Elodie Master struggles to learn about her new role, as well as the secrets of her past as she decides how to rule her new pack.

With war, brings loss and destruction that no one wants. The Alpha brothers aren’t the only wolves Elodie should be running from…

A secret is coming, one that only brings death.

My Thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was an nice ending to the series. I liked that the issues between Elodie and the alpha brothers were finally solved. I liked River! It was a surprise he became her mate but was a good fit in with the alpha brothers. It did take a while for Elodie to forgive the alpha brothers even after they apologized, told her the truth and explained why they didn’t come to her immediately. I did get tired of her telling them she couldn’t trust them unless they submit to her lol. Overall it was an enjoyable read that flowed well with where the last book left off.

Deliverance by Jane Henry!

Synopsis

He’s bred to protect.

As a single mom to a child with special needs, Diana McAdams does things her way. She’s in control and doesn’t have time for love. Happily-ever-afters aren’t for her.

Then she meets the man who demands her submission…

My Thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely loved this book! I was hooked from the beginning! Diana thinks she’s damaging her no good ex’s car but she’s actually damaging Tobias car. Tobias, a dom, offers her an alternate way to pay him back. They have amazing chemistry and I loved their story! Tobias was good with her and her special needs son. He was patient, caring and always looking out for them. Diana was a strong woman who had been having bad luck with men but once Tobias enters her life things start looking up. Overall the book was hawt and I loved their story and will most definitely be reading the rest of the series!

** Book one of the LOVE DON’T COST A THING s

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I enjoyed this book! Savannah and Mason’s story had me on edge the whole time wondering what they were hiding. I loved the twists and turns! They both may have been keeping secrets but Mason isn’t letting his woman go and he always gets what he wants. This was a hot, suspenseful story and I definitely recommend reading this!

*Received ARC for honest review 💙

“This book is my favorite of all her books so far… Misha was all kinds of perfect for me.” — Gone with the Romance

“This book…oh my God. This book was everything. Hale hooked me with a title and cover I could not ignore, and then she delivered with a story that blew me away. Scorching, intense, thrilling–this book demanded my attention, even long after I finished. Come to Daddy will do more than keep you warm…it’ll burn you alive. Five OMG THIS WAS FABULOUS stars!” — K Webster, USA Today Bestselling Author

“A roller coaster of sexy fun that will leave you on the very edge…before plummeting you once more. It will definitely have you biting your lips and turning those pages. Misha is f*cking hot, the daddy of my dreams. Do yourself a favor and BUY THIS BOOK!” — Vivian Wood, USA Today Bestselling Author

“Ciara?” I reach down to help her off the floor. A moment later I feel her fingers tugging at my belt.
Oh.
Oh.
That’s what she was asking about earlier when she blushed and just now when she trailed off. She wanted to know about sex. I’m such a fucking idiot sometimes. I never said anything and now she thinks she has to do this.
I grasp her forearms and lean forward. “Ciara. It’s all right. You don’t need to do that.”
Her mouth is very close to mine and she licks her lips. In the soft lights of the car they look plump and deep pink and my gaze becomes locked on them.
She’s so fucking beautiful.
I’ve thought about touching her ever since she sent me those pictures. I haven’t been able to get her out of my head, in fact. But they were abstract thoughts about sex that were never going to come to fruition. That could never come to fruition, because I’m not who she thinks I am.
Now she’s offering to give me exactly what I want and my brain is presenting me with reason after reason why I should have sex with her. It’s what she expects. Sex is implicit in our arrangement. It’s what she thinks I’m paying her for. She might get suspicious of my motives if I don’t take her to bed.
I really, really want to taste her.
“Would you like me to? Be honest,” she whispers.
My hesitation tells her all she needs to know. Her fingers continue unthreading my belt. It clinks softly and loosens and I feel myself grow hard in anticipation of her touch. My hands caress her shoulders and her blonde curls glide against my knuckles. So soft. I push my fingers into her hair, caressing the back of her head, and she feels like heaven.
Ciara’s hand rubs me over my trousers and even that gentle touch makes me groan. She outlines my length with her forefinger and then traces the swollen head of my cock. I watch her, my breathing shallow, as she undoes the button and then slowly eases the zipper down. Her hand dives inside my underwear and pulls my cock out, hot and swollen in her cool fingers. A conceited part of me can’t help but admire how thick and long I look in her hands.
She licks her lips and I instinctively grasp the nape of her neck. Yes. Suck me. My gaze is locked on her face as her pink tongue slides across the broad head of my cock. Her hand caresses my length and she licks me again, wetting me thoroughly before taking me into her mouth. I feel the drag of her lips and then the lave of her tongue, and I groan and lay back against the leather seat.
“Jezus Christus, how did you learn to do this?”
Ciara draws her tongue along my length with delicious slowness. “I’m a whore, remember?”
Anger rolls through me even as she slides me to the back of her throat. Has she been seeing other men? Aren’t I giving her enough money? She’s not a whore, not even when I’m paying her for this. I catch hold of her hair tightly and force her gaze up to mine. “Listen to me. You don’t see any other men but me.”
She nods quickly, her mouth still full of me.
“I’m your daddy. Are we clear?”
She nods again and I let her go, sinking back to enjoy what she’s doing. “Fucking good,” I growl, as she continues to work my cock. She’s heaven with that mouth. I look at the blush in her cheek, the way her lips slowly suck me, her eyes closed. From the way her tongue is caressing me I would almost think she was enjoying this.
Her hands slide up and over my belly and she makes a little noise in the back of her throat. Maybe she is. Maybe she likes blowing me.
I reach down between her legs and grasp her silken thigh. She catches my wrist and draws her mouth away from my cock. “Don’t,” she says in a broken whisper. As if she’s ashamed of something.
But I need to know. Suddenly it’s the most important thing about this. Not the money. Not my fucking brother. Not me pretending to be something I’m not. Her. She’s the most important thing. And I need to know if she’s wet.
“Baby. Let me feel.”

There’s nothing Brianna Hale likes more than a large, stern alpha male with a super-protective and caring streak, and when she’s not writing about them she can usually be found with a book, a cocktail, planning her next trip to a beautiful location or attending the theatre. She believes that pink and empowerment aren’t mutually exclusive, and everyday adventures are possible. Brianna lives in London.
