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.

Sins Of The Father by Marie James!

Blurb

I’m not misunderstood.

I’m not confused about my position in life.

I’m not looking for answers to explain why I am the way I am.

This is the logic others use to try to make sense of me. According to them, there has to be a reason for my apathy. There has to be some sort of explanation for the calculating way I run my Club. There has to be a root cause for my depravity.

They can’t wrap their heads around the fact that I’m evil, that I’m darkness personified. Doing so would force them to acknowledge that the Devil has left Hell and is living among them.

Most people may think I’m Satan, but I answer to Lynch, President of the Ravens Ruin MC, and the Antichrist doesn’t have sh*t on me.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow! I absolutely enjoyed this MC romance. Lynch just became president of the MC. His sister Molly and her friend Zoe leave school to get away from the drama there. Molly ends up bringing Zoe to the clubhouse where Zoe runs into Lynch. Zoe and Lynch had good chemistry! Lynch did keep doing stupid things because he couldn’t accept his feelings for Zoe. But every time she tried to leave Lynch refused to let her. It was cute when he finally opened up to her and accepted his feelings for her since his whole life his dad has told him not to trust anyone. This book was well written, steamy, had drama and filled with hot men! I can’t wait for the next story!

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!

They say heavy is the head that wears the crown …

Andino Marcello’s world is turned upside down when he becomes the next heir apparent to the Marcello empire. He was comfortable in his place as a Capo, but comfort is for the weak in the world of mafioso. The boss’s seat is waiting. It takes meeting a tattooed beauty who has no idea who Andino is or the criminal legacy he now carries beneath his three-piece suits, and charming smile for him to finally bend the rules set out for him. That doesn’t mean he can keep her.

Haven Murphy is doing her own thing, and she does it well. The owner of a successful Brooklyn strip club, she makes it her only goal to never fail.

He’s going to break her heart; she’s going to keep his.

Because duty waits on no one.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

✨

This was a well written mafia romance! I can’t wait for the next book to find out if Andino and Haven find a way to be together! I did feel like Andino was being a little selfish by not letting Haven know the situation before hand. I loved independent and sassy Haven! I loved Andino and Haven’s s*xy chemistry and I definitely can’t wait to read what’s next for them!

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!

Earning Her Trust by Adore Ian!

TITLE: Earning Her Trust (Braxton Arcade Book One)

AUTHOR: Adore Ian

RELEASE DATE: October 9th, 2018

BLURB:

She ran from her past… right into his arms.

Marrin Braxton is scarred—physically and emotionally. As a result, she separates her college life from her personal life and makes a point not to trust anyone. Especially guys.

So when she secretly starts sleeping with her hot neighbor, Damian Wane, she makes it clear it’s just sex. Good, kinky sex.

And boy, is it kinky. In the bedroom, Damian is everything Marrin needs. He’s dominant, bossy, and says the filthiest things. Damian makes her submit in ways she never thought possible, and when he’s in charge, she’s able to let go of her need for control and just be.

But it’s how Damian makes her feel outside the bedroom that threatens to tear down the walls Marrin has built around her life and her heart. It’s a loss of control she’s not sure she can handle, and when a man from her past shows up to terrorize her, it’s a loss of control she’s not sure she’ll survive.

Damian Wane is used to getting what he wants. He’s rich, handsome, and gifted with the kind of soulful eyes every person, pet, and vegetable dreams of getting lost in.

After his first night with Marrin, he’s hooked. She’s everything he needs in the bedroom. She’s eager, submissive, and wants him in ways no one ever has before. But it’s the ways he finds himself wanting her, the scars he wants to show her, that have him unable to keep things between them casual. He doesn’t want to let her go, and he’s not willing to share.

But Marrin’s keeping secrets and Damian doesn’t want to be one of them.

If he can earn her trust, he just might make Marrin his. But if he pushes too far, pries too deep, he might lose everything.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a good debut! The book is a page turner for sure. It was filled with hot🔥🔥🔥 scenes and drama and I absolutely enjoyed reading! Now I loved Damien but Marrin was kind of annoying. I really didn’t care for how she’d sometimes act toward Damien. Overall I thought the book was great and I’d definitely recommend!

-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!
