SYNOPSIS

Lucia Marcello is the good girl—or she used to be. The youngest mafia principessa of her family, she’s not the one who falls for the man from the wrong side of the tracks, and she certainly shouldn’t have run across the country with him.

She’ll leave everything behind for him …

Renzo Zulla is the bad guy—society and life labeled him that way. The only person left to take care of his siblings, he couldn’t afford the distraction of falling in love with a rich girl far beyond his league, and he definitely shouldn’t have her riding shotgun as he runs for his life.

He doesn’t want her anywhere else …

Love keeps them together.
Fear keeps them running.
Chaos follows them everywhere they go.

How long can they keep moving before someone finally catches up?

The cost of love is always high.
Never harbor it blindly.

Note: Harbor is book two in a three-book trilogy following the same couple.

My Thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lucia and Renzo’s story continues! They’re on the run and trying to find somewhere to settle but run into big problems! This book was filled with action, suspense, love and heartbreak! Lucia and Renzo just want to be together and her family didn’t care. Her dad still felt like he was right about Renzo but he’s finally proven wrong it’s at the cost of his daughter hating them! I am loving Lucia and Renzo’s story and I cant wait to read the next book! I definitely recommend this trilogy!

SYNOPSIS

They didn’t come from the same world …

Born rich to a family of mafia royalty, Lucia Marcello was already destined to succeed. She wanted for absolutely nothing, until she met him.

Born poor to parents who never cared, Renzo Zulla was already destined to fail. He has struggled for absolutely everything, but she’ll prove to be his biggest fight yet.

She’s high society from the upscale suburbs.
He’s a drug dealer from New York’s slums.

They just weren’t meant to be … until they were.

What would it take to change a life—an entire perspective? All the things you thought you knew and wanted?

For them, it took thirty-six days.
And the privilege of meeting each other.

They shouldn’t be.
They don’t fit.
Love doesn’t care.

Note: Privilege is book one in a three-book trilogy following the same couple.

Savage princess and Venomous prince! They shouldn’t be but they are! I loved this book!

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!

Deliverance by Jane Henry!

Synopsis

He’s bred to protect.

Tobias Creed likes things done his way, and he likes his women ready to submit. No strings attached. Until the night he meets the one woman who challenges him, practically begging to be taken over his knee.

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!

ARC Review: Ricca by Esther E. Schmidt!

Release Date: January 22

Synopsis

Chiara was raised into the mafia world the hard way. Enduring the assault at the hands of her father until she was kidnapped and forced to marry a mob boss. One she’s sure is even worse than her father.

Ricca never backs away from a challenge. When the woman he kidnapped sneers he would never own her, he’s more than happy to prove her wrong. It doesn’t matter he is being forced into this marriage by The Syndicate, to cover-up the kidnapping.

An enemy is forging a plan to take Ricca down. Can a marriage, even one forced by the decision of others, turn into a solid band of trust, loyalty, and eventually love? Or will either one—or their enemy—rip out their heart to stop it from beating? Dive into this Mafia Romance where the value of human life is worth less than loyalty.

My Thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved this book! Ricca kidnapped Chiara and the Syndicate forced him to marry her. It turns out to be a wonderful match! Ricca and Chiara worked so well together! They both are ruthless and sweet and I loved every moment of it! The characters were entertaining and the story flowed really well!

My life came with a vow.

A promise to the blood line I’m born from.

I’m bound to duty.

Until she walks into my life.

Blonde. Blue-eyed. Far too beautiful.

I shouldn’t bring her into this life.

Promises will be broken, but deception is right at my door.

Now I have a choice to make.

Love or blood.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!

Release Date: January 22, 2019

Synopsis

Duty meets desire . . .

Mercy O’Malley hates killing people. So when she’s assigned to take out Vampire-Demon Logan Kyllwood, she lures him to a seedy bar in Scotland, then decides to kidnap him instead. How can she cold-bloodedly end all that heat, those green eyes, that ripped body?

Unfortunately for Mercy, attempted murder and kidnapping are just foreplay for the Kyllwood brothers. Logan may be the youngest of the bunch, but death and violence are already a way of life. Now he’s ready to complete a painful, terrifying ritual to become one of the Seven, dedicated to protecting this world from the most dangerous evil it’s ever known. But first he has to deal with a blackmailing Fey, a ransom demand and his own pounding need for the last female he ever should have fallen for . . .

My Thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely love this series and I was so excited I was approved for an ARC! Once I started reading I was hooked! The action was awesome and the chemistry between Logan and Mercy was hot! Mercy is this cute Fae who takes no mess. Logan is a totally alpha male soldier but has a sweet side. They were a good fit. I enjoyed when Mercy would not just do what Logan said she has her own mind and didn’t have any problems telling him when to shove it lol! I can’t wait to read the next one!
