Don’t miss this heart pounding apocalyptic romance from New York Times bestselling author Kylie Scott!

There’s only one person Dean Wallace wants to save from the end of the world: sunshine girl from across the street. She’s always smiling. Who knows, maybe she can teach him a thing or two about how to live? But saving her against her will is harder than he expected.

Astrid Hardy doesn’t know what to think when she wakes up in her hot neighbor’s basement. He says he wants to protect her from the deadly virus threatening to collapse society. But that sounds like paranoid conspiracy theory nonsense, and losing her sh*t seems like the correct response.

As they watch the downfall of the world play out online, hear approaching gunshots, and smell smoke from nearby burning buildings, it all starts to seem horribly realistic. With almost everyone they know dead, and law and order gone…how will they navigate this new world together?

I was given this book by the author for an honest review.
I absolutely loved her zombie books so I JUMPED to read this one. Now there aren’t any zombies so if that isn’t your thing you should be good.
Dean and Astrid are quite a pair. LOL Dean kinda…well….yeah he wants to keep the pretty but clueless neighbor safe as the world is coming to an end. SO he does what all rational men do, he kidnaps her. LOL If you read Kylie books you know the banter is amazing and hilarious between them.
As the world is falling apart and Astrid realized Dean isn’t as crazy as she thinks, they begin to travel to find a safe place to hunker down. Dean wants to keep her all to himself, and Astrid is like HELLLLS NO. They find a crew of like-minded people to form a town with while also finding another town of not so great men who feel they own all the women and items around.
I loved seeing Astrid realize her attraction to Dean and him opening to the fact she actually might have a few good ideas. Their adopted kid they find in the town is such a fun character because she is NOT ok with the friends to lovers change between the two.
I cannot wait to get this in audio because I just know it will be 100x better!!

UPDATE : I was given this audio book from the author for an honest review.  Oh man was it even better listening to the story with Andi telling it.  I laughed and got cringed with Astrid at times but boy did i SWOON again over Dean.  This book is one I will  relisten to time and time again.

Review by Twinsie Melinda

I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.

Don’t let this novella fool you it is packed with suspense, romance, and a bit of spooky. I loved getting to see the cast and catching up on what has been going on with them.

The group are at a Halloween party when Ari, Thea, and Shea head to the library to get Ari’s phone.  What could possibly go wrong they were only a little way away from the library and they are in a group of three.  In Sleepy Hallow a lot can go wrong when you let your guard down and think you are safe on Halloween night.  When the girls go missing their men go on the hunt for them and won’t give up until they find them.

This was a quick read that had me flipping pages to find out what was going to happen and who took the girls. I so enjoy reading novella’s that give you little updates on everyone in the series.

One promise.

One summer to see it through.

One explosive love fueled by mutual obsession.

The day Clint sees his son, Joey, off to basic training, the young man he’s devoted his life to extracts one promise from him: spend the summer doing something selfish for a change. The request seems harmless enough until Joey puts his best friend, Raven, in charge of seeing it through.

Raven would do anything for the people who took him in as a teen, and, when it comes to Clint, anything comes without limits. When encouraging Clint to explore his selfish side reveals Raven’s love for the older man, Raven is shocked to discover his feelings may not be unrequited. Not only are they returned, but all his darkest, most hidden desires have finally found their match.

Clint’s possession feeds every craving Raven’s ever known. Raven’s openness provides Clint the freedom he’s longed for to take whatever he wants, and soon boundaries are abandoned at the bedroom door. As summer’s promise bleeds into winter, and the threat of Joey’s impending return looms over their heads, Clint and Raven love faster and harder.

When Joey’s disapproval ends up being the least of their concerns, Raven and Clint go to desperate extremes to stay close because something is better than nothing. Facing an uncertain future, both men are left wondering if you can ever go too far or risk too much and still come out on the other side whole.

Bad Wrong Things is a second chance, best friend’s dad MM romance with two possessive MCs. Both MCs are consenting adults. Please utilize the sample feature for a full list of what to expect.

Review by: Twinsie Tenise

Whoa! I finished this weeks ago and its still on my mind. Raven wants Clint, his best friends dad. He has for quite some time. The men end up in close-ish proximity for the summer and Raven soon discovers he isn’t alone. Seems Clint has a thing for Raven too. A summer fling can’t hurt, right? Well that may have been the case with any 2 other people but we aren’t talking about other people. This is Raven and Clint’s story and their story is not your hearts and flowers love story.
Their story is toxic.
Violent.
All consuming.
Soul crushing.
“I lived for the small windows of time either right before or right after when he momentarily forgot he hated me.”
There is a whole lot of messed up stuff going on so proceed at your own risk. Clint is Ravens addiction. Clint also isn’t fair. The mean sh!t he said to Raven at times had me raging. These men were, for lack of a better word, violent together but they were also undeniable soul mates. The “violence” is part of what made them perfect for one another. I think they just needed to find a way to grow as a unit so they could have more control in the bedroom when it comes to pleasure and pain. 5 taboo af stars! I listened to the audiobook it is narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Liam DiCosimo.

C.P. Harris writes emotionally charged romance with a dark edge, where love is messy, possessive, and always worth the wreckage. Best known for The Good Liar and her latest release, Saving Sparrow, she crafts stories that dive deep into flawed characters and hard-won, happily-ever-afters. When not writing, she’s devouring the same intense, complicated romances she loves to create. If you crave angst, obsession, and endings that hurt before they heal—C.P. Harris might just be your next favorite author.

Thomas Mulvaney was just a child when an error in judgment cost him everything. He vowed then that he would do anything to atone for his mistake. And he did. He never strayed from the right path. Until Aiden.

Aiden Mulvaney doesn’t exist. He’s a lie created by the father who disowned him and by Thomas Mulvaney, the only man Aiden had ever begged to love him. But that was years ago, when he’d still believed in fairytales. Before Thomas rejected him.

Thomas has spent years trying to have Aiden in his life while keeping him at arm’s length, but Aiden’s done with half-measures. He’s done with Thomas the martyr. He’s just done. So, he’s kept his distance. Trouble is, now, someone is threatening to expose a secret that affects them all.

No, not that one. A secret so shameful, Thomas won’t even utter it out loud. Can he and Aiden revisit the past and keep the family name intact, or will they both be buried beneath the weight of their memories as their old feelings resurface?

Review by: Twinsie Tenise

When I started this series it was complete so it is not as if I had to wait for books to release. However, once it was alluded there was something between Thomas and Aiden, I could not wait to get to their story. It felt like it took me for-ev-er to get to them but it was so worth the wait. Don’t get me wrong, I loved getting to know everyone else but my anticipation for this forbidden-ish romance was off the charts and I would like to say that Ms James did not disappoint in the delivery. Maniac was a sinfully sexy slow burn. Thomas and Aiden had an undeniable chemistry and I anticipated the moment they either self destructed or opened their eyes and realized they were IT for one another.
These 2 were stubborn, Thomas especially. I get his delima but still it was no excuse for some of his actions over the past 2 decades. I saw things from both sides and my heart ached for both men but Aiden was the one I was “siding” with in the beginning.
I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know this family of vigilante killers. They each have something that makes them special. And each of their, eh, talents makes every single one of them an integral part of this operation headed by Thomas. This series consumed me for MONTHS! As sad as I am to see it end, I’m happy with how things turned out. I listened to the audiobooks, all of which were narrated by Liam DiCosimo. His voice is so yummy! I love how he speaks differently for each character. I think the Thomas voice is my favorite.

Onley James lives in North Carolina with her daughter, her daughter-in-law, son-in-law, and a menagerie of animals, both good and evil. James splits her time between writing m/m romance and mainlining dangerous levels of caffeine and attempting to maintain her ever-slipping sanity.

When not at her desk you can find her whining about how much writing she has to do while avoiding said writing by binge-watching unhealthy amounts of television and doom scrolling on social media. She loves true crime documentaries, anti-heroes, and writing kinky, snarky books about morally gray men who fall in love with other men.

But Kit and the police aren’t the only ones looking for answers. Someone is watching from the shadows, waiting to finish what they started years ago.

Because at Breakneck Bay, the only thing deadlier than the rides is the truth.

Breakneck Bay in the early 1980s was THE PLACE to be for tourists although the majority of the locals did not feel the same. Some thought it was dangerous and should be closed. Some thought there may be a killer lurking within.
Kit wants to work with her husband Mitch at the Waterpark. She is eventually hired on in the medical room where she takes care of any injuries that may occur.
Kit is oblivious af. I cannot believe she had no indication of anything going on at Breakneck Bay. Everyone in her life is keeping secrets and she just trusts too much. I enjoyed this fun, face paced thriller by a new to me author.

He’s a superstar on the run. She’s a hidden talent with a shattered past. In Sweetlove, their colliding worlds might just create the perfect harmony.

Now, she’s just a bartender with a guitar, playing small gigs and guarding her heart behind sharp wit and high walls. Music still lives in her bones, but the spotlight? She walked away from that life years ago.

Country music superstar Wyatt Cade has everything: fame, fortune, and a wildly successful indie label. But after the tragic death of his best friend on tour, the music that once saved him has gone silent. Seeking inspiration and solitude, he escapes to the quiet town of Sweetlove Mountain, hoping to find peace…and maybe himself.

What he finds instead is her.

When the bark definitely IS worse than the bite

A deadly hex is turning my newspaper colleagues’ skin to bark—and it’s up to me to find the magical killer before they strike again.

I thought moving to Ravens Hollow would be simple. One month into my new supernatural life, I figured my biggest challenges would be housebreaking my oversized puppy and writing fluff pieces for the local paper.

Then dark magic hits The Oracle, pulling me straight into an investigation tangled with vindictive sea witches, feuding werewolf packs, and ancient tree sprite magic even the coven can’t crack.

Now I’m chasing clues with Police Chief Whip—an immortal siren cursed with secrets—and Alex, a too-charming lion shifter who knows how to get under my skin. But in a town where everyone hides something and magic always comes at a price, finding the truth could cost me more than I’m ready to lose.

And the vampire trafficking ring that turned me? They haven’t forgotten about me either.

A paranormal cozy mystery featuring a vampire journalist, small-town supernatural politics, magical mayhem, and a slow-burn romance that defies nature itself.

Ravens Hollow Investigations Series:
Bylines and Bloodsuckers – Prequel
Fangs and Front Pages – Book 1
Hexes and Headlines – Book 2
Demons and Deadlines – Book 3

Harris), and the brand new Ravens Hollow Investigations—a series full of magical crimes, dangerous alliances, and secrets that refuse to stay buried.
