This book is so fun to read. I love the character of Emerson (Emm to her friends), as I relate to her as a person. The character of Rush is so driven and confident, he’s a delightful contrast to Emm. The story itself is very sexy and fast paced, and my only complaint is that it’s too short! I’d love to see more of these two.
​~~~~~~
A leader is the one who never gives up.
I built my company from the ground up and now I sit on a throne of iron.
But I've sworn off love because I only want one woman.
The one I can't have.
We met back in grade school. Chasing each other around the playground. Spilling our secrets in the dead of night.
I crushed hard and those feelings I caught haven't even begun to fade.
So when my sweet, innocent Emmie wants to erase her six-figure student loan debt by auctioning her perfect body off to the highest bidder?
I see red.
If my naughty little engineer thinks she can gift her purity to another man...
She's about to be bought.

Overall I give this book a solid 4stars. There were parts I loved, parts that seemed out of place and parts where I wanted more. Overall this is a good quick read. The main characters were likeable and there was an instant connection between Orion and Hailey that you can feel. There were definitely a few heated scenes and some tender moments. The book has A HEA and I would recommend it. I actually can't wait to read the couples in the rest of the series.

Wrath of the Fallen by Eve Archer

​​​#WrathoftheFallen  #EveArcher


Everything I thought I knew about myself was a lie. Dominick Vicario, mafia don and leader of the Fallen, was right about me. But he was also wrong. I do carry the trace of an angel. But not for the reason he thinks. When the truth about me is revealed, it isn’t the demons who are after us this time. It’s the archangels. And they’ll stop at nothing to eliminate the evidence of their own darkness—me.

Book 3 picks up exactly where book two ends. I will say that the authors writing style draws you in and keeps your attention throughout the story. In the book the Fallen are trying to hide from some of the archangels. There are many twists and turns in this book. There is passion, suspense, revelations and laughs. Dominick and Ella have formed a bond that no one can break even though they try. This books also shows why Ella's has an angelic trace.

The first two books were hands down five star reads. This book for me was a 4.5 star. Dare I say that even with all of the plot twists I expected more. Every book felt like it was leading up to a major event that didn't really happen. Understand the book is still great and I will definitely continue on with the series. I just felt like something was missing.

Although this felt like the end of Dominick and Ella's being the main characters, I am sure they will show up throughout the rest of the series. I truly am anticipating what will happen next. There are some new characters introduced and I cannot wait to see what role they will play.

This does end with a HEA

With a host of vengeful angels chasing us, Dominick makes a pact with the Prince of Demons. A pact that leads us straight into the demon prince's Parisian lair--a place so decadent and demonic that we may never escape. Or want to.

With angel armies and demon hordes gathering, who can we trust? And if Dominick makes a deal with the devil to save me, will his soul be lost forever?

Honeymoon Hitman by Jacob Chance

​​​#HoneymoonHitman #JacobChance


Sadie and Cal were written to be a perfect match and the sparks turn to flames. I was left with a big feeling of a YA mentality from their behaviors and responses. The whole story flows along with humor and banter which comes across a tad odd with the whole being trapped with a bunch of killers. We are constantly reminded how her life could be in danger, yet Sadie makes snarky remarks to people she has been told are a known killer. There's no feel of any actual danger and is more about the cute get to know each other whirlwind romance on vacation
​~~~~~~
SADIE -- When my engagement comes to an unexpected end one week before my wedding day, my best friend convinces me to go on the honeymoon alone.

Ten days in a remote, tropical location sounds like the perfect medicine for a broken heart.

Sunshine, relaxation, and mixed drinks are all that’s on the agenda, until I bump into Mr. Tall, Dark, and Dangerous. And my agenda flies out the window.

CAL -- Killing has always been easy for me, until recently. But killing people for a living isn’t a job you can just walk away from.

Agreeing to take on one more assignment, I travel halfway around the world, and that’s where I meet Sadie. She’s the hitch in my plans I never saw coming.

What began as a quick fling in paradise has turned into more, but a mountain of secrets lies between us.

With danger lurking around every corner, and people dropping like flies, how do I keep us safe long enough to solve the mystery of who’s racking up the body count and why?

This is a standalone contemporary romcom.

BLURB:
Ava Harper's resume keeps getting updated. It started with witch, then necromancer, author, bookstore clerk, vampire wrangler, and most recent, medium. Yes, you heard that right, she can talk to ghosts.

New powers bring more responsibilities and things to add to the list of magic she needs to learn. Especially when Ava finds out her mother isn't in a happy place.

What else can she do but try to rescue her mother from the in-between place she's been suffering all these years?

That doesn't mean it'll be easy. She's going to need the help of all of her team, from her ghoul Alfred to her mischievous cat, Mr. Snoozerton—and his new girlfriend. And Olivia, her best friend, of course. She might even have to call her son home from college for this level of magic.

But Ava's life wouldn't be Ava's life if things didn't go a bit awry. Luci tries to help, but just infuriates all of them, as usual. Larry (the skeleton) is still hanging around, and he's lost a finger bone, have you seen it?

It might be a lot of hullabaloo, but Ava is determined to figure it out and bring her mother home. And Drew, the town sheriff and Ava’s boyfriend is at her side every step of the way and almost every waking hour and sometimes sleeping hour. Could the sheriff be plotting something of his own and try to tame the necromancer/witch hybrid?

Aliens are real, they happen to be gorgeous, and there’s no way I’d ever agree to be a tribute bride for them.

Now that everyone on Earth knows about the Drexians—and their need for human mates—women have been falling all over themselves to volunteer. But not me.

Oh, I’m eager to go to the holographic space station where human brides are taken for their fantasy weddings and honeymoons. But I’m there to work, not fall in love. If the captain of the ship will let me do my job.

The last thing I need is some cocky alien who questions my abilities. Even if he is a hot Drexian warrior who looks at me like I’m a snack.

Kalex may be acting captain of the new Love Boat being built on the outskirts of the galaxy, but that doesn’t mean he calls the shots. At least not when it comes to the design of the space station. That’s my job. A job he makes more difficult at every turn.

When things start to go wrong on the station, Kalex and I are forced to work together to save the station. But as tempers fly and sparks ignite, can we save the Boat and ourselves from the deadly Kronock sabotage?

This standalone sci-fi romance novel features steamy scenes on an alien space station, a smoking-hot Inferno Force captain who does not like to be disobeyed, and a guaranteed HEA. If you like feisty heroines, aliens with extra erogenous zones, and lots of adventure, you’ll love IGNITE, the first book in Tana Stone’s sci-fi romance Inferno Force of the Drexian Warriors series.

Deep Water by Jade Cary
Reviewer: Ree
***** Stars

​​​#DeepWater  #JadeCary


Wow! Talk about a page turner! I couldn’t put it down. The story of Rowan and Vince is intense. Both characters are extremely set in their individual ways, and neither of them have any idea of the danger heading rapidly toward them. When Rowan discovers that her neighbor was murdered in a vicious way, she was extremely nervous. Vince noticed right away. And so begins the tale. Absolutely fantastic! And just enough spice to make it even better.
​~~~~~~
The past may drown them both.

Murder and violence is all in a day’s work for Lieutenant Vincent Girardi. But there is something about this one that doesn’t add up. When a piece of paper with an address written on it is found at the crime scene, Vince believes that the the target is actually Dr. Rowan Delaney, and he plans to find out why.

Dr. Rowan Delaney is biding her time. In less than a week she will give testimony that will rid her of a painful past once and for all, and grant her and her two children the freedom she has been seeking for years from her ex. So when Lieutenant Girardi and his partner show up at her door and try to change her plans, she's not pleased. She needs to move on, without interference from anyone—including the handsome cop darkening her doorstep.

The chemistry between them cannot be denied, even though it complicates everything. Vince must protect her without his feelings for her getting in the way, and Rowan must accept his help—and his innate need to protect—without losing herself in the process.

Two killers, one forbidden love affair. But are they in too deep?

I thought it was the demons I needed to fear. I was wrong.I knew what I was getting into when I sold myself to the devastatingly handsome mafia don. Then I discovered he was an immortal fallen angel. I’m now a pawn in the deadly game between Dominick and his enemies. But this pawn is done being played. I’m about to show them what I’m made of--and it isn’t sugar and spice.

Book 2 picked up where book 1 left off. As much as I loved book one, dare I say the sequel was even better. This book is well written and keeps you riveted from beginning to end. I never wanted a group of fallen to win so bad. There were interconnecting storyline and they flow well throughout the book.

Even though the majority of the book centers around Dominick and Ella, other fallen angels have major roles. I also enjoyed the Rami and Ella storyline and cannot wait to read more. So far this series has firmly put Eve Archer in my top authors category. I'm so glad I found her.

I knew what I was getting into when I sold myself to the devastatingly handsome mafia don. Then I discovered he was an immortal fallen angel.

Being the plaything of a billionaire is one thing. Being the mate of a celestial is quite another. Especially when he’s convinced I carry the mark of an angel and could free the Fallen from their eternal torment.

But not everyone wants the Fallen to be redeemed, including the shadowy Prince of Demons, who controls the demonic activity on earth.

My immediate problem isn’t with the demon prince, though. It’s with the rival mafia family who’s taken me captive—and the deadly succubus helping them.

I’m now a pawn in the deadly game between Dominick and his enemies. But this pawn is done being played. I’m about to show them what I’m made of--and it isn’t sugar and spice.

This book is extremely entertaining and fun. I really loved the characters, and Josie was my favorite. She’s a wonderful spitfire and dedicated lady who wants adventure and excitement. Yet when she’s drawn into a devious plot, she discovers that she must do something extreme to save her reputation. In steps Elijah. He’s a very dedicated man whose devotion to the nation may just cost him everything. I will add that it was extremely spicy and utterly engaging. I will be grabbing the rest of the books in this series.
​~~~~~~
She always dreamed of marrying a Stuart brother. Just not the one who meets her at the altar.

When scandal sweeps through London's ballrooms, Lord Elijah Stuart's younger brother is caught in its web. Though his main duty is to England's spymaster, Elijah must forsake his work searching for the traitor to the Crown and instead focus on weddings and reputations. With both the family honor and his brother's future at stake, Elijah dutifully takes the ruined Miss Josephina Pennyworth for his very reluctant bride.

Furious at the circumstances leading her to be wed to the wrong Stuart brother, Josephina clashes immediately with her bossy new husband. She is every bit as invested in the search for the traitor as Lord Stuart and she is no shrinking violet when it comes to danger. While Josie discovers certain aspects of married life are quite pleasurable, she doesn't permit them to distract her from her mission. As she tests her husband's patience and the boundaries of her new life, the threat lurking in the shadows grows larger and places more lives in peril. Who among them will survive?

**This book contains steamy scenes and the firm discipline of a sassy heroine when she requires it.

Wow, this was a great paranormal adventure and I truly enjoy it.

I will start by saying I love dragon books. This one did not disappoint me. From the beginning, drama, I mean lots of drama. Love the characters, the storylines, the heartbreak, it was an emotional roller coaster.

For readers who love, action, drama, plus romance, this is the book for you.
​~~~~~~
Decades ago, rogue dragon shifter Rune Abaddon took a stand against the decaying, corrupt systems governing their people. He now uses his bad-ass reputation to protect the innocent as it all comes crashing down. But he’s pushed the limits one too many times. His hideout is destroyed, his few allies are scattered and hiding, and the Alliance has placed a dead-or-alive bounty on his head, making him the most wanted dragon in the western hemisphere.

And then the most enticing woman he’s ever met barges into his mountain, demanding an audience.

Hadyn Reece’s future was ripped away long ago. The man fated to be her mate was murdered alongside her parents before Hadyn was old enough to be turned, leaving her to be raised and trained by her dead mate’s parents in the dragon shifter world. Now, the Alliance has come for the only family she has left. It’s a good thing she was raised by dragons, because the only one who can help her save them is a traitor she’d be smart to fear.

Especially when his dragon decides she’s theirs.
