★★★★★ “CANNOT WAIT FOR THE CONCLUSION! …HIGHLY RECOMMENDING THIS EXCITINGLY ADDICTIVE STORY!” – The Power of Three Readers
The fork in the road in front of me screamed go right …
Giano gave me life.
I gave him death.
The path to peace inside of me was covered in his blood.
Could I ever believe in love again?
Instead of going right, though, I veered left into the depths of a world unknown.

From mechanics, bikers, oil riggers, smokejumpers, bar owners, and beyond she loves a strong hero who works hard and plays harder.
Who could possibly lose her job, apartment, and boyfriend in one day?
This girl.
I won’t lie. When my boyfriend took me out for a fancy-shmancy dinner, I was thinking jewelry not “please return your security deposit” the weekend I was moving in. Which, can we just talk about the fact I was going to move in with a long-term boyfriend who wanted a security deposit?
Instead, I got a lecture about not being able to pull my weight and a breakup. In public.
I’m over it. I’m over the good-paying job that kept me trapped in the wrong spot, the fear of moving on…and men. New rule: World Domination Without Men.
Period.
There’s only one thing slowing me down. That cop.
Yeah. Okay, so I may have accidentally broken some laws this weekend. Nothing big. But that hot cop has shown up everywhere. Now he’s living across the street from my new place and doing super hot cop things like cooking and salsa dancing.
I can’t help but wonder: Can I do the Single Girl Takes on the World thing and let Mr. Hottie Officer in or do I need to put him in the slammer of my big picture plan?
Now I just need to decide: Take over the world solo or risk another heartbreak with Officer Hottie?
I want to start by saying RomCom and sweeter romances are not typically my thing. However, I found these stories from Bria and fell in love with them. I also admit her narrator is on point. She makes me feel like “Hey that totally sounds like me and my friend’s reactions” when she tells the story. She is the perfect voice for the women in the series. They are all kinda a fun hot mess if that is possible. LOL
Kasey’s entire world is falling apart. Her boyfriends dumps her…she loses her apartment…she loses her job….I mean what else could do wrong. Oh yeah having to deal with the police a few times in a 24 hour period. Until Kasey rolls into the Brew and John is there like a guardian angel to help her with a couple issues she fears for her current situation.
Kasey meets a great cast of characters like Jessa, Ben, Hailey, Dean and Max….grumpy Max. Max who has seen her in her undies. Max, who is so alpha, he can’t help himself. Max who is also scared to death of sweet Jenna. Those were the best convos!!! LOL Jenna is a sweet evil thing.
Max has seen enough to know Kasey is not the girl for him. She IS the definition of Hot Mess Express and yet he can’t stay away. He is drawn to her with every encounter which makes him so mad at himself. Yet he still makes her dinner and takes her to the movies. Also seeing a jealous Max was kinda fun!!
Kasey refused to look at the reasons why Max does the things he does for her. Until all of a sudden, she can see him for him and that sends her over the edge (due to a couple extra drinks the bartender gave her) into confused heart land.
These two cracked me up. They both are so stubborn to see what could be because they both are NOT into the other for XYZ issues.

Get a date for the big gala in four weeks when I thought I could go solo? Challenge, accepted.
Now to find a hot, interesting guy who will dress up for a gala. Last minute. Who doesn’t already have plans on the busiest date night of the year.
But, so far the best part of the search for a great date has been the cute café I found and the geeky-hot owner who keeps rescuing me from these crazy eLove.com dates.
This should be easy-peasy. The internet is the home of all your hopes and needs, right?
Spoiler Alert: it isn’t.
Between the bromance date and the crazed single dad who needs to hire a nanny and housekeeper, not get a date, I’m running out of options.
If only a certain cutey didn’t have a phone call with “sweetheart” every day.
The weirder things get, the more I think just going solo is very I Am Woman, blah blah blah. Forget about the fact that my heart keeps bringing me back to a certain café even when I don’t need to be there…I mean, my heart doesn’t always get what it wants, does it?
I have read a few really heavy and dark books lately. I needed something fun and light hearted. I needed something sweet and fun. I also needed something to spend my audio credit on….hence this book.
Guys, this book was everything I needed. It most definitely took me out of the dark stuff I have been reading into a fun and adorable happy story.
Sarah is in need of a date. Sarah is pushed into online dating due to a “friend” who makes she feel less then because she doesn’t have a boyfriend. The dates are an absolutely horror show to say in the least. She is meeting her dates at a coffee shop when she befriends the shop owner. Slowly they build a friendship when Sarah realizes, Holy crap I love John!
The story was adorable and sweet and I will be grabbing the 2nd one asap. The story was just sweet and funny and everything you need at times.

My father demands I give up my dreams to follow the path he’s set for me, but I want more.
And I won’t settle.
In exchange for a small favor, my aunt helps get me started on a new path. My path. But I should have known life isn’t that easy. One of my father’s most trusted men catches up with me, and he’s brought a friend.
I’m off limits, the boss’ daughter, but that doesn’t stop Bastian or Garrick. They’re both overbearing, overprotective, and mouthwatering.
They don’t approve of my aunt. Positive she’s going to betray me, they won’t let me out of their sight. And when I do manage to sneak away, they take turns showing me exactly what price I’ll pay when I cross the line.
But I have to see this through. No matter the cost.

Research has never been so fun.
WARNING: This 11k short has no vampires, shape shifter or scorching sex, but it might make you snort your diet Coke out your nose.
I read book 2 in the series and fell in total love with Jenna and Ben. They are such a great couple while also being opposites in many ways. Ben being the absolute hot guy while Jenna is the nerdy girl. When they meet at a bar with Jenna’s terrible friend, Ben is laughing at her. She is not thrilled at him and then is kinda blackmailed into going out with him and a friend with her friend.
The story is a great set up for getting to know Jenna and Ben for the rest of the books in the series.

He won an hour with me from a stupid bet. We were several shots of whiskey and two pints of Guinness in when Devin suggested we play his game. That hour turned into the next morning. Then all hell broke loose. I ransacked his wallet to find his identification card. Our bliss disappeared into anger, hate, and accusations. When he rejected me in that room, he didn’t just leave me with a pounding headache and remorse. He left me with a forever reminder of that night—the mix of two enemy bloods. And now no one can ever know…including him. Illicit Heir is book three of Mafia Wars Ireland.

Titan “Steel” Malone’s knew the mission was no win, but like a good soldier, he followed orders. Orders that took more than his ability sleep through the night without waking up screaming from the memories. The family he’d been adopted into now had one less son and another in a wheelchair leaving Steel shamed and broken.
Delaney “Dell” O’Riley, had been on evac duty, never imagining she’d be tasked to bring back her husband’s body. The loss triggered her need to run with their children in tow. When she can no longer run she reaches out to her in-laws. The ones grieving the loss of not only the son who died, but the one ghosting them from shame.
Steel had loved Dell from the first time he met her, only to lose his chance when his brother made his move first. Their family now torn apart with a legacy left by the one who passed now is bringing them back together. Can they put aside the guilt of losing the man that brought them together to heal in each other’s arms? Or will life once again send them into a no win mission breaking the bond they were welding together from two pieces of broken steel?
A reimagining of the original book; Encased by Steel.
I was given a copy of the book by the author for an honest review.
This is a book that has been rewritten. The story has been altered and I am writing a new review for it.
I met these characters when I fell in love with the spin off Steel MC Montana Charter. SO when I was given the chance to read the original MC I jumped. I mean I LOVED Steel and Dell.
This book starts with Steel, Dell, and Dell’s hubby/Steel’s brother Chip going on a military mission. Shit goes sideways and Chip dies. Steel and Dell are both left dealing with the loss of Chip. Little did they know there were lots of secrets in this thruple…well thruple minus sex. Steel and Dell danced around each other and were pushed together by Chip who grew up on a poly house. He knew his wife and brother had feelings but could never get them to cross that threshold.
When Chip dies, Steel and Dell spiral. Dell runs away and Steel sets up the MC that his brother dreamed of. Steel finally nuts up to get Dell to come and be part of the team. When they meet back up sparks FLY but so does guilt. These two got on my dang nerves with the push and pull to be together and then running away. Steel was gonna get a kick in the dick for his Hoes behavior. Dell was going to get a kick in her vagina from keeping things from Steel. When they finally make things connect in the right holes…like what I did there…they crash and are left spinning out.
We get to meet all the original members plus meet Sarah who will become Topaz and Red from the spin off series. I loved seeing them and their starts. Steel and Dell’s journey is a long one and one that sets a great foundation for the future of the MC and the Montana charter.
I loved the new rewrite plus all it added and cleaned up from the original version. This new story gives a better understanding of how my fav MC started and the cast of characters we love. Now when do I get Sal’s story with her husbands??? I am ready ladies!!

Wrath –
From USA Today bestselling author Eva Charles comes the stunning conclusion to A Sinful Empire.
I should have seen it coming.
But I was busy drowning in her essence.

Even now, with the cards on the table and the secrets exposed, I crave her. Every traitorous inch of her delectable body.

I fled minutes before my wedding when I learned my fiancé had been paid to marry me. Ten years, too many crappy exes, and one drunken decision later, I’m now his boss.
A night out with a friend turned into shots and duping an old ex of mine into taking a job at my budding horse rescue.
The last time Ansen Barron saw me, I was fishtailing away from our wedding with his dog. When he arrives, I expect him to reverse right back down my driveway after he learns I’m his boss.
I don’t expect to find a jaded man in the place of the easygoing guy I was once engaged to. I also don’t expect my heart to race when he’s around. Or for him to treat me like I always meant more to him than a payday.
I don’t regret hiring him. He’s the best man for the job, and he’s trying to prove he’s changed, one melting kiss at a time.
But no matter how hot we are together, I can’t forget I once thought he was the best man for me and maybe it’s safer for my heart if he stays a reckless memory.

Living and working on a campground with her dogs is not where Sloane Walker saw herself at twenty-seven. But then again, not a lot has gone right for her since her step-father kidnapped her at twelve years old and scarred her both physically and mentally for life. Those actions should’ve left him rotting in prison for the rest of his life, not seeing him out on good behavior and giving him free rein to track Sloane down to make ‘amends.’
But that’s not her only problem, as if she needs more than one. Her second problem comes in the form of the masked stalker that slides into her room at night and takes what he pleases, making sure Sloane enjoys every second of it. What starts as a fantasy soon becomes something inescapable for them both, and Sloane might have to face up to a very important fact about her new friend.
He’s unhinged, psychotic, and utterly obsessed with her. And while those should be very bad things, Sloane can’t help thinking that maybe they aren’t so bad at all, no matter what that might mean for her sanity or her safety in the end.
Author’s note: This is a complete standalone set in the Pleasure & Prey universe. It contains consensual kink, unhealthy relationships, and harmful situations. For a full list of content warnings, please look inside.
I met this author at a book signing and thought she was the most amazing person EVAH. I mean she let me pet her service dog and so of course she is now my best friend. LOL But for real, I needed to read a book of hers and had audio credits to use and DING DING. LAWD When I saw this was a dark romance I legit fell over my own feet running to start listening.
The narration by Lia Holland was good. She kept the story going well and brought Sloane to life for me the listener.
Ok so I know this book is marketed as DARK romance and the themes are DARK but guys it Sweet dark. LOL By that I mean I have read DAAAARK SHEEET and this is not near what I would call DARK. This is a dark chocolate cupcake instead of a vanilla cupcake with buttercream frosting. So those of you worried or afraid, Ya’ll go for it. Virgil and his filthy mouth will keep you enthralled.
So Sloane, has gone through some stuff with her step dad. She is a trauma survivor and living her ebst life with her service dog and other dog. They enjoy the simple life working and living at a campground. Good right? Well one day a super, uber, hawt man, Virgil, checks in and Sloane takes notice. So much notice she is thinking about him when she …well ya know…wink wink. Virgil seems to pop up all the time and is very interested in Sloane. Kinda nice right…oh yeah until he tells her he is a serial killer. Now granted I jumped the ship a bit but yeah every guys has to have 1 bad habit right?? LOL
The way Virgil starts to spend time with Sloane is another questionable method but hey he was trying to woo her…..and woo her he did…
I know some people had issue with stuff but I enjoyed it for what it was …smut…filthy and raw smut. LOL Don’t come at me . I am being honest. I liked the story and the couple. This book was not a true dark romance in what most dark romance readers are wanting but I was here for it!!
AJ Merlin would rather write epic love stories than live them. I mean, who wants to limit themselves to only falling in love once? She is obsessed with dark fantasy, true crime, and also dogs.
