Review: Ask Me Why by Harloe Rae!

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Length:349 pages

Source: Kindle Unlimited

Synopsis

One deep breath. Two slow blinks. Three hollow beats.

I’m still here.

After three years, that reminder isn’t as necessary. But everyone has their bad days. This is definitely one of them. Until an adorable little boy dashes into my store. His zest for life makes me smile in a way that’s been long lost. Then I meet his father.

Well, confront is more like it.

Brance Stone is volatile.

Offensive.

Harsh.

And can’t be bothered to care.

Not that I want him to. I get frostbite just looking into Brance’s glacial stare. But there’s something undeniable about him.

My misery suddenly craves company. The suffocating numbness lifts whenever Brance is near. That alone should have me running in the opposite direction. Try as I might, there’s no avoiding him. If only I could understand why. As if he’d let me.

I don’t ask. He doesn’t tell. A silent, bitter truce settles between us.

That was our first mistake.

It’s certainly not the last.

My Thoughts 💭

I enjoyed this book! Braelyn is mourning the loss of a loved one and isn’t really living. A cute little boy named Ollie comes into her store and soon brings his cynical but hot father with him and they change each other’s lives. Brance was a jerk but Braelyn made him just a little sweet. Ollie was the most adorable boy ever! This was a good read and I recommend giving it a try!

SYNOPSIS

The son of a prominent Cosa Nostra Don, Corrado Guzzi’s life should have been all mapped out. He would be what every other Guzzi man was, too—made, mafia. It’s their way. But when given another choice, the chance to be something more, he takes it. Even if it comes with strings.

It’s there that he might find where he belongs, and Alessio Sorrento. The man who could change his whole life.

This love thing? It should have been easy, but they made it hard. Nothing about a relationship like theirs is simple. Dictated by rules, weighed down with things left unsaid, and already hanging by a frayed thread.

This is what love looks like before, and after.
Before she came along.
And after she was there.

It takes one woman to change everything.

Ginevra Calabrese wasn’t ready for this—for them.

So, what happens now?

NOTE: Corrado (book one) and Alessio (book two) are a duet within The Guzzi Legacy series, and should be read in order. All other titles in the series are standalone. This is NOT a love triangle.

My Thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😍

This was sooo amazing! This book was so hot and sweet and hoooootttt! I absolutely loved Ginny, Alessio & Corrado’s story! The love between the trio and their family was amazing! I definitely recommend reading this duet! You won’t be able to put it down!

HE WAS GUILTY
Dustin is a convicted murderer.
He’s mournful, bitter, drowning in a sea of self-pity with nothing left to lose.

Bound by my namesake, Saint Odilia,
I should be defending my spirituality and morality with my life.

But I’m still mournful, bitter and drowning in self-pity.
Only now I have something to lose… her.
Gaining my freedom was supposed to be the hard part, but it’s going to take much more for me to be worthy of a saint.
LOVE WILL BE FREED

Release Blitz: Forbidden Kiss by Kelli Callahan

Title: Forbidden Kiss

Author: Kelli Callahan

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Add on Goodreads

“We knew the risk. We decided to take it. I don’t regret a single second and neither should you…” – Bryant Benson.

It started out so innocent. I saw my best friend’s father at an art show, and I knew the woman hitting on him wasn’t looking for love. I thought I could do him a favor. That’s what I told myself and I think I even believed it. I was just going to walk up, pretend to be his date, and then we would laugh about it after she was gone.

You know what they say about the best laid plans…

One night of make believe that never should have happened.
It ignited a spark inside both of us.
We tried to fight it until we made a mistake,
And one forbidden kiss led to so much more.

Sometimes, you don’t know that you’re about to cause a scandal until you’re right in the middle of it.

A full length emotional standalone with suspense, steam, and a HEA.

Kelli writes hot and steamy romances with delicious alpha males who will not stop until they get the women they crave exactly where they want them. Kelli’s heroes are tough as nails, hot as sin, and underneath the rough exterior is a heart of gold begging to be unleashed. If you think you can tame them, you’re probably right, but it won’t be an easy journey.

Make no mistake, Kelli’s stories will give you the happily ever after you need, but they’re also steamy and packed from cover to cover with exactly what you’re looking for late at night when you leave your panties by the door.

ARC Review: Sky Lord’s Desire By Alana Serra & Holly Lexington

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Length: 89 pages

Source: Arc from author

Synopsis

It’s hard to resist a demon warlord. Aramon is everything I never knew I wanted, and he’s completely devoted to my happiness. When there’s a chance to get back to Earth, I find myself wondering if that’s really what I want. But my heart–and an unexpected enemy–may have other plans.

My Thoughts 💭

I am enjoying this series! I liked how Allie and Aramon are getting a little closer. They’re so cute! There’s betrayal, danger and Allie still not sure about staying. It ends in a cliffhanger and I definitely can’t wait to read the next book!

ARC Review: Quill By Esther E. Schmidt

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Length: 140 pages

Source: Received ARC from author

Synopsis

There’s a legend amongst members of the Wicked Throttle MC. Something that’s rooted deep into their DNA. Once a soul finds its other half, there is no going back. Only one option; Love and claim at first sight.

The danger lurking at every turn in her life has left Adley alone and on the run. That is until a certain biker finally tracked her down and is determined to help her.

Quill can’t get the woman who he couldn’t hold onto out of his head and heart. Dead set to pull her out of the danger she’s wrapped in, he stumbles into a web where not only Adley, but others are tangled in as well. Can they take one day at a time to explore their connection and save those around them? Or will a shift of direction spiral into a lost chance in love and life?

Quill can be read as a HEA standalone but does have a cliffhanger involving the next character (book four in this series). For a greater reading experience, recommended to read in order.

My Thoughts 💭

I enjoyed Quill and Adley’s story! I was hooked from beginning to end. I absolutely loved Adley and her quirks and how Quill just went with it. Their chemistry was amazing. I absolutely love the Wicked Throttle MC legend/curse! If you’re looking for a instalove with some action and suspense then I definitely recommend this book!

Review: Sky Lord’s Mate by Alana Serra & Holly Lexington

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Length:87 pages

Source: Received ARC from one of the authors

Synopsis

My whole life, I’ve never been anything special. I’ve struggled for every penny, every grade, and every opportunity. When there’s a chance to make some extra cash, I’m all in–right into another realm, and a war between angels and demons. Now a hotter than hellfire demon warlord is saying I’m his mate. He offers me a bite of the sweetest forbidden fruit, everything I’ve always wanted. But this place isn’t my home, and as I’m caught between two worlds, I can’t tell if I’m careening towards sin or salvation.

Sky Lord’s Mate is the first book in Sin & Salvation, a fantasy romance series where sinfully sexy demons find their fated human mates. These novellas feature explicit, steamy scenes that aren’t for the faint of heart! In true serial format, they also end on cliffhangers, but we promise to always be consistent in getting you the next installment.

My Thoughts 💭

This was an interesting start and now I must read the next book! I absolutely loved Aramon! He’s not to be messed with but soooo sweet to his mate! I also loved Allie. She handled being kidnapped and the attention of a “demon” pretty good. This is definitely a must read for paranormal romance lovers! Also beware of the cliffhanger! I can’t wait to read the next book!!
