After her family was brutally murdered, Eve decided one thing. Never to let anyone in. To never love again. EVER. That way, she wouldn’t ever feel that hurt again. For a year she’d done just that.
All that was about to change when Kit Carter, a cocky Australian boxer randomly enrolled onto her photography course at college and pushed his way into her life. Kit was everything Eve hated about pretty boys. Only, he wasn’t a boy. He was all man.
Despite her dislike for him, even she couldn’t deny her curiosity. Things were about to change drastically in Eve’s life, and secrets were about to spill out. All at the hands of Kit Carter.

I’ve been many things in my life: daughter, friend, student, lover, wife…and now, widow. Getting past those labels and finding who I could be without them was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Then I became friends with Brendon Connolly. Every time I look at him, I see a past, I see a present, and I’m afraid if I look too hard, I’ll see a future.
~~~
I’ve known Harmony Wynham since before she got married. Before she lost everything. I didn’t know that one day she wouldn’t be just my friend but the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Only I don’t think that can happen. Not when every time she looks at me, she sees what she lost, and I can only see what I can’t overcome. I love her, even though I shouldn’t. Somehow, we need to find a balance. Because if we don’t, walking away will be the hardest thing I’ve ever done—even if it’s the only thing I should do. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader’s Copy of this book
Hope you have your tissues handy for this one folks because you will need them! Next up in our Fractured Connections group is Harmony and Brendon. Harmony, at such a young age, has now dealt with two huge losses; the sudden death of her husband and now the death of one of her best friends. Brendon and Harmony were friends in school, her husband was his business partner, and they are learning to be friends again. Brendon is someone who did not have a great home life until Jack and Rose and even though he had a better life after those early years did a number on him. Harmony has started dating again, much to her dismay, and is only happy with her dates when she talks to Brendon afterwards. Brendon has secret feelings for Harmony but feels that he is not good enough for her for several reasons of which I will not go into because you gotta read the book!!! LOL!!! Both characters are very well written and makes you have tons of feelings for them. I love the way they develop from friends to more than friends, its something for her that is just like “there you are, where have you been”. For him it was like “ I love her but she can do so much better,” yes he had feeling for her but they didn’t come about until after the death of her husband There is sooooo much to say about this book but I really don’t want to spoil it for anyone. Ryan has once again wrote a beautiful story grounded in real life. If you know anything about Carrie Ann Ryan you know this one hit close to home, but as she says in the Author’s note this is not her story this is Harmony’s and I think Harmony, Brendon and Moyer justice.

Debase, the final book in the Eagle Elite
Series and the first new book in the Elite Bratva Brotherhood by #1
New York Times Bestselling Author Rachel Van Dyken.
With blood on my hands, I held her.
With death in my soul, I took from her.
With the devil in my heart, I coveted her.
There are many definitions of
Hell.
My list was exhaustive, my
definitions tragic.
Tonight I was adding something
new to the very top.
Girl number six thirty-
two.
She arrived on my birthday, the
same day, every year, I play Russian Roulette and pull the trigger.
She was my omen.
My end game.
She made it
personal.
And for the first time in my life, I
gave in.
A virgin mob boss with no
soul.
My name is Andrei
Petrov.
They call me the
devil.
All I want is for the pain to
end.
All she wants is for me to share
it.
I am the last remaining heir to a
dynasty that should burn in Hell.
I am both heaven and hell. Sin and pleasure.
The Devil she never sees coming…
Everyone knows that Malcolm Asher owns Chicago. Nothing—not a single move is made in my city without my authorization. I’m ruthless. Conniving. Worshipped by those around me, and yet, it means nothing the moment my eyes meet hers…
Clear blue and innocent, the delicate doll on this stage holds me captive against my will. She’s decadence personified—a corruptible angel I want to own.
I’m hard for her.
Starving for a taste.
Eager for her to feel me.
This little girl has no idea of the danger she’s in within my presence. How I will make her crave the darkness I control.
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
Lord help me Malcom!!! Lord!!! If Elena knows how to write anything its hot as hell, alpha men who we wanna cuddle and punch but mainly cuddle 😊 The fact he kills people should bother me right???? BUUUT yet it didn’t…LOL Can I just say he is not a man who is told NO and the person lives to brag about it people…..that is a negative.
London was doing all she could to get away from her family when she enters The Loop. It’s a kinky club and once Malcom sees her…game over friends. Is the story Insta Love…yes but ya know what!!?? I loved it all.
Malcom will do anything to keep London. He fears corrupting the sweet and innocent women who now means everything to him. But London needs to get the hell away from her dad and brothers and once Malcom shows her the world she is free!!
The story is slow to help build their romance but trust me friends is it HOT as are all of Elena’s books. Malcom is another yummy hottie she created in her mind and I am so going to be rereading him in months to come!!!
Elena M. Reyes was born and raised in Miami Florida. She is the epitome of a Floridian and if she could live in her beloved flip-flops, she would.

Her first taste of writing came to her during her fifth-grade year when her class was prompted to participate in the D. A. R. E. Program and write an essay on what they’d learned.
Her passion for reading over the years has amassed her with hours of pleasure. It wasn’t until she stumbled upon fanfiction that her thirst to write overtook her world. She now resides in Central Florida with her husband and son, spending all her down time letting her creativity flow and characters grow.

After having his life shattered by the woman who held his heart, Viktor Valentino put work before everything. Many years later, learning the truth behind his lover’s deceit, his anger shifts to the man responsible for not only her betrayal but her gruesome death. Viktor throws himself into finding him to not only appease his rage but to possibly save humanity.
Lacey Cruz has always wanted to be a writer, but she’s never had the chance to pursue her passion. After being fired from a company she was employed with since graduating high school, she now has plenty of time on her hands.
Lover of all things paranormal, Lacey sets out to do research in hopes that special something will fall in her lap. Something does in the guise of a powerful vampire warrior. What Lacey doesn’t realize is she may be the heroine in her own real-life novel.
I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
Oh my land, I love these VC Warriors but we are introduced
to the Dark Guardians Viktor, Bishop, and Charger. WOW are these three just as
bad a$$ as the other Warriors.
When Lacey decides to do research for her paranormal book
she finds herself in an awkward predicament that is until a hunk of a man intrudes
on her research date. Viktor felt a pull
to Lacey the minute he saw her and after implanting himself in the middle of
her date he decides he will be her source for her research. Lacey is just
trying to make ends meet by working at her dad’s bar and found a new job at a
night club. This is where Viktor and the VC Warriors realize Lacey can be a big
asset to the Warriors when things get crazy. But what happens when lacey
involvement with Viktor puts her in danger?
Absolutely loved Lacey she is tough, smart, independent and
sassy. NO one tells her what she can and cannot do even Viktor. This book had me on a roller coaster ride. What
is going to happen next and fear for all the VC Warriors and their mates? The way
this family pulls together and helps each other and has their backs undeniably
makes my heart happy. I am so looking forward to the next book which is Viktor’s
brother, Bishop. Then maybe we will see more of Charger and possible his
book. J

A tale set in Stuart England, where the king’s life depends on his most loyal of subjects.
Anthony Redbourn, Earl of Crofton, delights in his reputation as a charming rogue. Life is never quiet at the court of King James I, especially with his good friend and secret lover, Sebastian Hewel, by his side. As an actor with the celebrated King’s Men, Sebastian has his own admirers, but neither man has eyes for anyone else.
When a plot against His Majesty is uncovered it threatens Anthony and Sebastian’s charmed lives, and they are dragged into the political intrigue and the race to save the king from danger. Fear that a traitor is linked to the King’s Men leaves Sebastian and Anthony with no choice but to stage a very public dissolution of their friendship, so Anthony can be free to be the patron of a new rising actor, and Sebastian can be the prodigy of another noble.
It is a dangerous game they are playing to expose the plotters and still find a way to meet in secret, as Anthony is adamant that they will not sacrifice the love they have fought so hard to win. They will do whatever it takes to protect the king’s life, and their commitment to each other.

Addie Jones was a woman with a plan. Or at least she had been until the manager she’d hired for her bakery embezzled all her funds and absconded to parts unknown. Now she’s facing ruin and her number one enemy, Math. With only a few short months left to turn her finances around, she needs to find a new slogan to live by. Her current catchphrase “Don’t make me math” simply won’t do.
Vaughn McAdams agreed to do a solid for his cousin and help her bestie recover from her recent financial losses. He hadn’t counted on Fate smacking him upside the head with a rolling pin, or the zany baker who now calls herself his boss. Her inability to balance a checkbook has him almost as frustrated as her insistence on keeping their relationship strictly professional.
Whenever they’re together, things start heating up, and it isn’t just the bakery ovens. Can Vaughn convince Addie there’s more to life than candies, cupcakes, and crumpets?
A millionaire walks into a bakery and asks for a job. What? But you read that write but Vaughn had his eyes set on more then just a job but the cute baker Addie. When secrets, heartbreak, and of all things Math get involved one can only imagine what can go wrong. Review by Twinsie Dee T.M.

From NYT bestselling author Carrie Ann Ryan, comes a brand new series where second chances don’t come often, and overcoming an unexpected loss means breaking everything you knew.
I fell for Cameron Connolly at the wrong time. And when he left, I thought my life was over. But then, after the worst happened, I truly understood what that phrase meant. Now, he’s not ready for a second chance, and I’m not offering one. Though given that our families have been forced together after losing one of our own, I know there’s no turning back. Not this time. Not again. Not when it comes to Cameron.

I never wanted to hurt Violet Knight, but there were reasons I had to leave all those years ago—not that she’d believe me if I told her what they were. I not only left her, I also left my foster brothers. Honestly, I didn’t want to come back to Denver to help run my father’s failing brewery. But when it comes to my brothers, I know I’ll find a way to make it work. Perhaps I’ll even earn Violet’s forgiveness and face the connection we both thought long forgotten in the process. Because I wanted her then, but now I know I need her. I just hope she needs me.

I love starting a new series, especially one by a favorite author. Why you ask, because it’s like coming into a new group of friends, but of people that you already know but now you get to really know them and come to love them.
In Breaking Without You we have Violet Knight and we meet Cameron Connolly. Violet we have briefly met before as she is Mace’s sister from Fallen Ink: Montgomery Ink Colorado Springs Book 1.
This story is a heartbreaker for sure, what Violet and her tribe are going through is one of the toughest things a group of friends can go through. Suicide is something that is very prevalent in the world today and when it happens it is awful and when it is someone that is close to you it’s even more devastating.
That is what brings Violet and Cameron into each other’s life’s…….. again.
See not only is this a love story, it’s a second chance love story and those are always good.
The chemistry between them is off the charts, but that was never the problem for them when they were together in college. No the problem was when Cameron just left without a word or reason.
I love that Ryan always gives us true life in her stories. From how Violet and her friends are coping with their grief, to Cameron and his brothers trying to come together again after years apart, to the why of Cameron leaving. All of it is vey real life things that could happen to and does happen to every day people.
Also, what I love about her writing is that if you haven’t read the series that a new series has spun off of it doesn’t matter, you won’t be lost because you can read them as stand alones. A warning though, you won’t want too if you are anything think me you gotta know everything and everyone so like Pokèmon you gotta get them all. Lol
I can’t wait to see more of this series, it’s gonna be a good one.
