Hey friends!! What a year!! I admit I spent a lot of time this year with rereading oldies from 2012-2014 but I did read some great new ones to share with you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here are my top 5 new reads for you in no order at all.
Edward Broderick was anything but lucky.
His intuition made him suave in both business and life. Unfortunately, his debonair style went out the window when an ethereal beauty slipped into his life. No woman had made him feel like a tongue-tied fifteen-year-old before.
Free-spirited Mia Hemlock didn’t live by others’ expectations. Yet her easy life was shaken by the arrogant and awkward, yet handsome, man. Not even her earth magic could ground her heart when she became consumed by the man.
Will they accept the goddess’s love match, or will they allow misunderstandings and greed to force them apart?
Broderick Coven Series:
Cursed Love
Cursed Sight
Cursed Whispers
Cursed Touch
Cursed Luck
My 5 Star witchy review is HERE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They call me a monster.
Murderous and hateful.
Beautiful but broken.
Nothing can calm the ever raging storm inside of me. As the ruthless leader of the Doubeck family there is a certain standard of brutality I have to uphold.
To be gentle or kind is a weakness I cannot afford.
That is until the day I meet her.
Beautiful, innocent, and so very afraid.
Valentina is a rival family’s daughter, and the little temptress has purposely tangled herself in my dark web.
She seeks me out, needing my help, but the price for what she wants will be steep.
Since my father’s death I’ve needed a wife to solidify my family name and this woman has piqued my interest.
We strike a deal intertwining our futures.
I’ll put a ring on her finger, own her body, keep her safe, and kill them all.
I make a vow to protect her at all costs.
That is until her secrets come to light, and I’m left with the choice of becoming the monster she’s only ever heard rumors about.
**This is a dark forced marriage mafia romance, that ends on a cliffhanger. It contains dub-con/non-con as well as other scenes that may be triggering to some readers.**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Diego
Known as DJ among his pride, Diego Cordova moved to South America to escape his life as an assassin and torture expert for a cartel. His ability to turn off his humanity is what kept him alive through all the ugliness thrust upon him. Yet his soul is scarred from each life he took… making him feel unworthy of a mate.
How could anyone love him when they learn of all he’s done?
Kymber
Kymber Prescott knows her boss, Ricardo, is a horrible person, but she’s powerless to escape him. Even so, she‘s irresistibly drawn to DJ and refuses to let Ricardo hurt him, or his loving pride. To protect them all, she’s willing to gamble with the one thing Ricardo has yet to rip away… her life.
Tapping into the side of himself he thought he put behind him, DJ fights to free Kymber from Ricardo’s clutches. Will he get to her in time? Or will her freedom be auctioned off to the highest bidder?
My 5 star Holy hawt alpha review HERE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Time stamps.
Our life is marked by them. Significant milestones to the seemingly mundane. All of them have a place. A purpose. Moments and chapters stacking on each other, building scars and memories. Creating stories that are only ours to tell.
But those stamps are finite, pre-determined. And eventually our allotment runs out.
This is our story. Our collection of time stamps. The culmination of our love, our struggles, our redemption and our heartbreak. This story isn’t always easy, but it is real. A genuine account of utter devotion, where every page is crammed with pure emotion and truth and the gift of loving another person more than yourself. Share with us in our dreams, our laughter. Cry with us in our sorrows, our pain.
Take this journey through our time stamps with Laurel and I, and I will meet you at the end.
~ Roth Warren Keswick
Ugly snot sobbing cry review HERE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Quinton Alexander is the head of his coven, or so he thinks.
He’s the type of man who would go to any extreme to protect his loved ones, and he’s also the type of man who would do anything it took to make sure they are all happy.
He grew up in a way that taught him that the only thing that really mattered in this whole world was keeping the people you love safe—a lesson he learned at a very young age from his twisted, sadistic father.
But sometimes in a man’s life, it’s nice to know that the people you love care just as much about you as you do them. Sometimes, it’s nice to be able to put yourself first for once.
Especially when it comes to the girl of your dreams, whom you have to share with the rest of your coven.
When it comes down to it, though, who’s going to go to extremes to protect the leader of the coven when he needs it? Who’s going to keep him safe? Or is he going to have to do what he always does and look after himself?
Quinton Alexander is an Ariel Kimber Novella. It’s a part of a reverse harem series. It contains mature content and is best suited for readers 18+.

Review by Twinsie Angie
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
First up, for all you cliffhanger haters…this is a cliffhanger so suck it up buttercup and read it!
If you didn’t read the prologue, no worries, its in this novel as well. We meet Adrian and Valentina. They are attracted to each other, but they are in different mafia families. Val’s family hates Adrian’s family. Val is in a bad situation being engaged to a monster who feels that fists are for women and not hugs…catch my drift?? So Val makes Adrian an offer he can’t refuse…. keep Val for life to be is wife and kill her douche fiancée who she is not even close to in love with.
Adrian and Val must deal with a lot since Sal left Val with a few parting bruises and another terrible trauma to deal with. Adrian is trying to burn the world down to find her ex ALONG WITH her father.
The two slowly learn each other’s tells and bodies *Snickers* while learning to lean on each other. They are slowly falling in love, but each is worried about what will happen IF the council takes her away. IF the council nullifies their marriage. IF Val leaves him once the deal is done. IF he will toss her out and not want her anymore once the deal is done. They talk but sometimes talk AROUND their fears.
There is a lot of violence, twists, backstabbing and worries to keep this couple on their toes. We are dying to see Adrian get some revenge for Val. We are also hoping to see this love blooming between Adrian and Val become more open and then………………BOMB DROP and holy moly was I left with my mouth open at the end. I mean we see it coming but yeah….its still a hard one to swallow. I cant wait for more!!!
Monica Corwin is a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author. She is an outspoken writer attempting to make romance accessible to everyone, no matter their preferences. As a Northern Ohioian, Monica enjoys snow drifts, three seasons of weather, and a dislike of Michigan football. Monica owns more books about King Arthur than should be strictly necessary. Also typewriters…lots and lots of typewriters.

It was obsession at first sight.
The moment I saw her I knew I had to make her mine.
Turns out she needed me more than I needed her.
**This is a short prequel to the book Vow To Protect and is not a standalone.**
Review by Twinsie Angie
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
After reading this short story, I am ready to dive right into this novel. Valentina is engaged to her awful dad’s douchey business partner who believe hands are for hitting. While she is scared of him and her dad, she leans on her bestie/cousin Rose for help. While at a business dealing, she sees Aiden. Both seem to be transfixed by the other when they learn who the other is. She is told he is the monster to fear, and he drawn to her innocents.
The story flies and gives us a brief introduction to each character. We soon see at the end how they come to be together.

#WOTR21 #review – Professional Liar by Monica Corwin
My sister Bianca and I have two rules governing the dispensation of our trust funds.
One. I get married first.
Two. She gets married second.
Neither of us will see a penny until we are both “properly cared for.” My father had a terrible sense of humor.
I turn to the only man who can help me. Even when the last time I saw him he said he hated me. Even when I love him as much as I loathe him. Even when he’s all wrong.
Liar. Thief. Killer.
Those are just a few words whispered about him in back alleys. To me he’s Pierce, to everyone else, he’s Pierson St. James, local mobster and second in charge of the infamous Wild Dogs.
He may be disreputable, but desperation calls for extreme measures. A long time ago, he promised to marry me. Now I’m going to hold him to that promise.
And we are both going to regret it.
This isn’t your high school Shakespeare…and you’ve never read The Taming of the Shrew like this.
This is a standalone romance with alpha heroes, alpha heroines, and a whole lot of foul language.
Review by Twinsie Kelly
This is a quick read that is twisted in all the right places. The first thing that caught my eye with this is the book cover. Immediately I needed to see what this was about. On a whim I picked up Professional Liar. The characters are in the mafia and Kat is known as ‘The Shrew’. Her father was head of the five families and has passed away leaving this title to Kat. Her father has weaved an intricate web for Kat and her sister, Bianca, to receive their inheritance. Kat does what she knows best and goes about trying to manipulate Pierce into marrying her. The only thing is, they have several problems to overcome. Pierce truly loves Kat and doesn’t want his heart broken again. They also have quite the group of haters as Kat is Italian and Pierce is Irish which makes many people kill happy. While there is a web of lies and deceit ,there is also quite a bit of sassy snark with some very hawt scenes. These two truly are meant to be but both have experienced so much craziness and heartbreak because of their families and past that it is very hard to overcome. Watching the craziness unfold and the insanity that ensues made this an absolute page turner. I am looking forward to reading more by this author.

#wotr #attendingauthor The Shifters Masque by Monica Corwin
Malina has been called many things … chief amongst them: defective. As the only non-shifting member of her pack she’s hardened herself to rejection, but one man is going to change Malina’s world … a pack-master in search of his mate.
Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35117062-the-shifter-masque
I was given this book and here is my honest opinion
This was a great short shifter story. All Malina wants to do is get invited to the annual shifter ball but the only issue is that she still hasn’t been able to shift everyone else in her family has and years after her 21st birthday she still hasn’t, but all of a sudden her invitation came and she couldn’t be more excited. Will she met someone who will understand her or will she stand in the corner and watch everyone else have fun. Somethings can change your whole life in just one night.
