ᴘʀᴇᴛᴛʏ ʟᴇᴛʜᴀʟ (The Ruthless Boys of Ridgeway #3) by R.A. Smyth

𝐁𝐋𝐔𝐑𝐁

I finally know how it feels to have a home. A woman to love who loves you in return and two men who can share in exactly how incredible that feeling is.

Emilia Harrison. The girl who stole my heart, then broke it. And now owns every cracked inch of it.

It has taken me a long time to come to terms with the demons of my past and to find my ultimate happiness in Emilia.

Now that we’re on the cusp of starting something incredible, the decisions I made when I was at my lowest rear their ugly heads.

I’m being coerced, Emilia’s being chased, and none of us have the first clue how to take on an ancient elitist organization. But we’ve already taken down one psychopath, so how difficult can it be to take down a few more?

I have Marie at my side, Hawk and Kai at my back, and we will do whatever is necessary to keep our Angel alive.

Love is forged in the toughest of situations, and the King’s Elite are about to find out how far I’ll go to protect my family.

Outstanding ending to an amazing series. Dark twists and a few surprises were still in store for our rowdy little harem. So many swoonworthy moments where my heart beat harder for Emilia’s men. These guys are possessive, protective and damn sexy. The steamy scenes were plentiful throughout the story. Wilder kept me laughing with his crazy antics…which I loved. I’m sad to say goodbye to this series but what a way to go.

Deliver Me From Evil by Natasha Knight is now live!

I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with my wife. That wasn’t part of the plan.

From the moment I first laid eyes on Madelena De Léon, I felt a primal urge to protect her. Keep her safe. Her father had failed her. I would not.

She is innocent, and I have no business taking her to my bed. But Madelena and I are bonded. Our destinies inexplicably linked. As is our survival.

My past is dark. I’ve made many enemies and betrayal runs rampant in my world. But sometimes those closest to you are the most dangerous of all.

If I was a better man, I would let her go. I know it’s the only way to keep her safe.

But any goodness I had in me vanished long ago. I am a man condemned. I want what I want.

And what I want is her.

PHEW! In this second book, Santos and Madelena’s story started where the first book left off and it did not disappoint! While many of the twists and turns in the first book were explained, it was certainly a shock when you find out the actual truth. There was one really big twist I did not see coming, and I wasn’t sure if these two would make it. I have to say that this 2nd book was just as suspenseful as the first and such a page turner. And the sexy scenes were scorching! I definitely recommend this book and this series.

Forgive Me My Sins by Natasha Knight is now live!

I’m not supposed to fall in love with my husband. It’s not part of my plan.

Forgive me.

Those were the first words Santos Augustine spoke to me before we sealed an unbreakable oath. A contract signed in blood binding me to him as payment for my father’s sins.

Wearing the mask of legitimacy, this powerful crime family has returned to Avarice to punish those who have wronged them and take what they’ve always been denied, a place among the elite.

Forced to marry my enemy, I’m thrust into his world of secrets and betrayals.

My husband is a dangerous man. And he has dangerous enemies. But it’s when I’m attacked that his fury is unleashed.

It’s then I see what it means to belong to Santos Augustine.

And although I know the safest place for me is in his bed, I can’t let myself fall in love with my husband.

Book one in this duet is about Madelena and Santos. I really don’t want to give too many spoilers, but I freakin’ loved this book! They entered into an arranged marriage, agreed upon when Madelena was fifteen, and Santos sealed the deal in blood. Madelena knows this is her fate and over the next few years has no more than a few meetings with Santos. Over the next five years, Santo’s keeps a watchful eye over Madelena and ensures she is safe. Madelena and Santos’ relationship spans several years. With how the story unfolds, I consider their intimacy a bit of a slow-burn development. It’s easy to see the burning chemistry that Madelena and Santos have. You can see that even though neither say it, love is definitely growing between them. Santos and Madelena deliver a hate/love filled story that kept me on the edge until last pages…which ended in the mother of all cliffhangers! There’s a sweet balance between the mafia and romantic elements that makes this a solid dark mafia romance read. All in all, it’s a highly promising first half of the duet filled with intrigue, uncertainty, and seduction. Can not wait for the 2nd half to come out!

Broken Trust by Nana Malone & M. Malone ~ Release Blitz w/ 4.5 Star Review!

Broken Trust by Nana Malone & M. Malone is now live!

I’m what some people call the bogeyman. Most people have the good sense to be afraid of me. Unfortunately, my best friend’s little sister is NOT most people.

She’s not afraid of me at all. But she should be. She doesn’t know the secrets I’m hiding.

Look, Lucia Demarco is a handful. She’s stubborn, gorgeous, a magnet for trouble, and sets my blood on fire.

Ignore that last part. I can’t have her. I promised my best friend on his deathbed that I’d always take care of her. And I have…never you mind about the thoughts that plague me at night.

The point is, she’s been poking her head where it doesn’t belong and now some idiots are about to find out why they call me the reaper.

I hear former hitmen make the best bodyguards. True story!

I’ll keep my word and keep Lucia safe. And I absolutely refuse to give in to her sunny smile or sharp wit.

I can be strong. Or will I risk just one taste?

What a hot little book this was! Phew! Noah owns Blake’s Security firm. Lucia is a fashion assistant and sister of Noah’s best friend who died six years ago. Noah took it upon himself to keep her and her grandmother safe. There is only one problem. Noah has always been attracted to Lucia and Lucia has always been in love with Noah. Lucia is still trying to investigate her brother’s murder and has opened up the proverbial “Pandora’s Box” putting her directly in the line of fire and her name on a hit list.

Now Noah and his team need to step things up and keep her safe. Not only are there secrets surrounding Lucia’s brothers murder…there are secrets about Noah’s team and somehow, they are connected. Noah and Lucia’s attraction and chemistry heats up to new levels now that they are spending so much time together. That makes for some super hot and steamy scenes. I have to be honest…I was not a fan of Lucia which made it hard for me to totally get into their relationship. Watching the secrets unfold one by one was fun to read, and I loved the supporting characters. This book definitely had it all – hot scenes, angst, intrigue, mystery and held my interest to the very end! I look forward to reading the next in the series.

The Game by Vi Keeland ~ Review Tour w/ 4.5 Star Review!

Genre:Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 16, 2023

BLURB

It started out like any other Tuesday.

I spent twelve hours writing algorithms for one of the largest companies in the world and then came home to work on a pet project of mine—feeding facts about the men I knew into a formula to find my perfect match before my twenties came barreling to a close.

But then a man knocked on my door and handed me some papers that turned my life upside down.

Apparently, a father I never knew existed had left me something in his will. That something turned out to be part ownership in a professional football team.

Next thing I knew, I was learning a sport I knew nothing about by spending time with the team’s quarterback who was out with an injury, a man who my formula would definitely determine was all wrong for me.

Christian Knox was too handsome and confident for his own good and could have any woman he wanted. Only lately the only woman he seemed to want was me.

But there was no way I was getting involved when I was now his boss, even if he was insanely gorgeous and had the dirtiest mouth I’d ever come across.

It would be wrong, wouldn’t it?

Probably. But you know what they say about things that are wrong…sometimes they feel so right.

This was such a fun and sweet book to read! Bella, who has a hard time trusting anyone but is a fun loving and all around a great girl gets left a football team. Which she knows nothing about…by a father she also didn’t know anything about! Christian is the hot alpha quarterback who instantly is attracted to Bella. Their first meeting is pretty funny and had me laughing from the start. Naturally Bella wants everyone to take her seriously so she tries very hard to steer clear of the cocky quarterback but damn he is hard to ignore!

I had so much fun reading about these two and watching their friendship turn into something more. Bella has no defense big enough to stop Christian from infiltrating her life. He is so determined to make himself a permanent fixture and eventually wears her down. He became one of my top alphas to date! There is also a slight plot twist that I had a feeling from the beginning was going to happen. I am not sure if it was necessary as it didn’t amount to much. There are some pretty steamy, swoonworthy and humorous scenes. I think this was just a great book and highly recommend following these two on their journey!
