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!

Enslaved By The Alpha by Viola Rivard review!

Blurb

To avoid being left for dead in an icy wasteland, Astrid Castillo surrenders herself to the local werewolf pack and its alpha, who is as tantalizing as he is terrifying.

In a time when shifters are facing extinction, Erik is alpha to the largest wolf pack in the arctic. As harsh and unforgiving as the tundra, he is accustomed to wielding control over everything.

Astrid is no exception.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a good book but I felt like it just ended abruptly….what happens with the bears!?! Do the 2 packs keep living together? Guess I’ll be reading the next one😂. Erik was kind of a jerk but was likeable the more he came to the realization that Astrid was his mate. Astrid was ridiculously crazy but I just adored her! They made a cute couple. It was kind of odd that Astrid went to save a sister (that really wanted to be where she was) she wasn’t that close with but felt like she had to do it for their parents. I feel like her sister could’ve left a note or something so nobody would worry🤷🏾‍♀️ But other than that and the ending I thought it was a enjoyable read!

Lead Security by Evan Grace!

Title: Lead Security
Series: Rogue Security & Investigation #3
Author: Evan Grace
Genre: Security Romance
Release Date: October 2, 2018

I’ve spent the last several years building my company, having zero time for a social life. I preferred it that way. After the mess my ex-wife left me with, I have no interest in anything remotely close to a relationship.
Until I meet my daughter’s new next-door neighbor.
Harley is kind, beautiful, and she’s also an erotic romance writer. To any man, she’s the perfect package. To a gun-shy man like me, she’s a one-way road to disaster.
Unfortunately for me, my daughter’s newfound friendship with Harley means I get to see more of her.
And the more I see her, the more I want her.
But my instincts are telling me there’s a danger lurking around her, following her, waiting for the right moment to strike. And the closer I get, the more I realize there’s only one way I’ll allow any threat to get near her…
and that’s over my dead body.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I enjoyed this book! Jack and Harley had great chemistry! Jack starts off as a jerk towards Harley because he wants her so much. I thought it was cute. When Jack finally gets over himself they are so good together! They both struggle with hurt from their pasts but they end up fixing each other and it’s so adorable! This book was hot and sweet with a little drama and I definitely recommend reading this! 

A Midwesterner and self-proclaimed nerd, Evan has been an avid reader most of her life, but five years ago got bit by the writing bug, and it quickly became her addiction, passion and therapy. When the voices in her head give it a rest, she can always be found with her e-reader in her hand. Some of her favorites include, Shayla Black, Jaci Burton, Madeline Sheehan and Jamie Mcguire. Evan finds a lot of her inspiration in music, so if you see her wearing her headphones you know she means business and is in the zone.
During the day Evan works for a large homecare agency and at night she’s superwoman. She’s a wife to Jim and a mom to Ethan and Evan, a cook, a tutor, a friend and a writer. How does she do it? She’ll never tell.

BLURB

Delilah Sage was my comfort within all the pain.

Offering open arms when I needed an escape.

The only one trusted to be there for me.

But our dreams were doomed from the start.

And I left her clinging to false hope.

Regret has plagued me for years.

The memories of Delilah refuse to fade.

Each second of every day, I want to claim her as mine.

But I won’t ruin her life.

And she’s better off without me.

When a job lands me in town, I plan to keep my distance.

My scars are mine alone.

Dredging up the past will only cause deeper damage.

But Delilah has always been my weakness.

And resisting her isn’t an option.

After all, there’s far too much for us to miss.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a nice second chance romance! Zeke had to grow on me, I didn’t like him at first! Zeke left town with a dream but got beat down by life and crappy people and he didn’t want it to touch Delilah so he never came back for her. He has to come back to town for a job and panicked at the thought of seeing Delilah again. But after seeing her he realized he wanted to have her again and he’d do anything for the chance. Delilah is kind of hesitant but willing to give Zeke a chance and she was so adorable about it. She came off prickly sometimes but you really couldn’t blame her from the way Zeke left and didn’t call the first time. I think they had great chemistry. They were meant for each other and I loved reading their story!

EXCERPT

“Why are you being like this?” I ask softly.

His voice is even more flat when he says, “Not sure what you mean. This is me.”

“You’re acting so detached and strange. This isn’t like you.”

“Well, you don’t know me anymore.”

That response brings fury and betrayal roaring to the surface again. “And whose fault is that, Zeke?” I grab a nearby mug with the intention of throwing it at his head. He’s giving me worse mood swings than Aunt Flo.

“We both know the answer. Let’s not play guessing games.”

“You’re ridiculous. I don’t understand you at all,” I say.

“A lot happens in five years. You’re not the only one who’s changed.” He gestures around the store.

“What is that supposed to mean? Are you upset about my career choice?”

“Nah, that isn’t it.”

“What then? Let’s stop dancing around. You came here for a reason,” I point out.

A flush races up his neck, painting the stubbled skin an angry red. “All of this is proof you never needed me. Not like I fucking depend on you.”

Lucian
A life free from sin.
For seventeen years, I have lived and breathed those words. But there is no balm to the war inside my soul.

Gypsy

He wants to keep my secrets and collect my tears, but he should know that a wild animal can’t be domesticated.
I don’t know how to love men. I only know how to leave them.
With everything I want. 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was just amazing, I couldn’t stop reading! It gave me all the feels!! Gypsy was a con artist and Lucian ends up blackmailing her into marrying him and she can’t figure out why. Lucian had it in his mind to save Gypsy but they ended up saving each other and I loved it! This book is filled with twists that’ll have you wondering what’s going to happen next and I loved every moment! I can’t wait to read the next one!

I walked into my office and found the tall, leggy brunette waiting for me. She wasn’t the only one either. Beside her, Ace played around on his phone while Birdie flipped through a magazine.

 I wasn’t surprised to see her this soon. In all honesty, I’d expected her to show up at my door last night, demanding to have Ace removed from her presence. But it appeared as though they survived the night, just barely.

 “May I have a word with you?” Gypsy asked.

 “You may,” I told her as I checked my watch. “In thirty minutes. When my lunch is finished.”

 Her eyes narrowed, and she planted her hands on her hips as she stood. “You must be joking.”

 “I don’t joke,” I responded flatly.

 She stalked forward, stopping only when she’d breached the narrow distance that few people ever dared to try with me. She was reverting to her baser skills of seduction, but I doubted she even realized it. The instinct came naturally to her, often rewarding her with whatever she wanted, and admittedly, it might have worked on me too once.

 She smelled of coconut oil and sunshine, and it encouraged a vivid image of her lying out on the beach. I could almost bet that if I were to touch her skin, it would be warm too. So warm that it would be easy to get lost in. She probably counted on it, but I was prepared to let Gypsy know from the start how this game would be played. There were only one set of rules, and they were mine.

 “Do you want me to throw a fit?” she threatened as her eyes darted around my office. “Because I will.”

 Now that was funny. My lips tilted despite my resolve to remain dry as toast.

 “Do you think it would be the first time someone threw a fit in here?” I asked her. “I’m sorry to tell you sweetheart, but it wouldn’t.”
“It would probably be the first time someone accused you of holding them hostage in front of your employees.”

 I turned and gestured for her to go ahead.

 “Be my guest.”

 Her lips tightened, and she clamped down on her jaw. After watching her for so long, these unintelligent threats from her were a disappointment. Of course, she wouldn’t make a scene because she had more to lose than I did.

 “Thirty minutes,” I repeated. “I’ll have my secretary call for you when I’m finished.”

 I walked into my office and shut the door behind me.

-Book Tour/Review- Army By Chiah Wilder

Title: Army
Series: Night Rebels Motorcycle Club
Author: Chiah Wilder
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: September 18, 2018



A member of the Night Rebels MC, Army is an arrogant, tough, SOB, and he makes no bones about it. His idea of having a good time is riding his Harley, boozing with his brothers, and having rowdy sex whenever the mood strikes him—which is often. Hook ups are on his terms, and if a woman doesn’t like it, there’s always another one waiting to take her place.

Then he sees her fighting in the rink, moving in ways that give him a whole bunch of nasty ideas about what he wants to do to her. And the way she looks at him? Well … there’s no denying the intense, mutual attraction. Chemistry sparks between them like the Fourth of July.

The only problem? She says she’s not interested. What the …?

Stiletto’s attraction to the rugged biker is like a storm electrifying the air, but with his swagger and perpetual smirk, he’s a poster boy for shattering hearts. If only her body would understand that.

Then she finds out he’s a member of the Night Rebels Motorcycle Club and is a deadly rival of her brother’s MC—The Satan’s Pistons.

But one night with him wouldn’t hurt anyone.

It’d just be a hook up, and probably the best sex she’d ever had.

Besides, who would ever know?

Then a series of tragic events lead the star-crossed lovers down a dangerous and dark path, forcing Stiletto and Army to make the hardest choices of their lives.

The Night Rebels MC series are standalone romance novels. This is Army’s story. This book contains violence, abuse, strong language, and steamy/graphic sexual scenes. It describes the life and actions of an outlaw motorcycle club. HEA. No cliffhangers. The book is intended for readers over the age of 18.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Army had moments when he was a big jerk and moments when you understood that his parents relationship made an impact on him. He didn’t trust women and I got whiplash how often he went from jerk to not a jerk because he was actually interested in Mia. Mia was indecisive as well but hers came from not wanting things to only be about s*x. It was cute how they both were obsessed with each other. I enjoyed the books drama and thought it was well written, I’d definitely recommend it for MC romance lovers!

Aren’t you cold?”

Mia jumped at the sound of the deep voice—she didn’t hear anyone come out. She pushed away from the wall and let her gaze fall on Army. The yellow glow of the streetlights made his features soft against the darkness of the night. She ran her hands up and down her pebbled skin. “I am. I was just going to head back inside.”

He stood in front of her, blocking her. “Stay for a few minutes.” He shrugged off his leather jacket and draped it around her shoulders before she could protest. The heat from his body felt absurdly intimate, and she was extremely aware of his fingers brushing the back of her neck. He smelled of leather and caramelized dark coffee beans with a tang of salty herbs to it, and it was the most sensual aroma she’d ever come across. It wrapped around her, and much to her chagrin, desire rippled through her. 

“Thanks,” she croaked, her throat dry with tension.

“We never really met each other. I’m Army.”

“Mia,” she said softly. He still stood close behind her.

“That’s a pretty name,” his breath whispered over the curve of her neck, threatening to ensnare her.

Without thinking, she leaned back into him, and he ran a thumb along her jaw as his calloused skin scratched her lightly. “I couldn’t keep my eyes off of you during the fight. You were amazing.” His breath was warm on her cheek and her inner thighs clenched in reaction.

Army cupped Mia’s chin and tilted her head back so she gazed into his desire-filled eyes. Her lips parted when he dipped his head down as his grip tightened on her chin.

Her brain screamed at her to stop, but her traitorous body relaxed in his powerful arms. Danger radiated from him, but it only heightened her excitement.

“Mia,” he said, his low voice a mixture of sensual and gruff masculinity.

Her stomach fluttered as she closed her eyes in anticipation of his kiss.
