Despite circumstances keeping him estranged from his son and his family, Clark Astor immediately moves into action upon learning of their untimely death.
I love so many things about Rory and Tate’s writing. But I think what I love most is that their characters’ emotions jump off the page. You know that their connection was undeniable and, as unconventional as it may be, their story wasn’t a story written for the sake of simply being TÄBÓÒ.
“The world is yours and I am simply in your orbit. I may be a planet, but you little dancer, are the goddamn stars.”
PSA: I do not condone this pairing in real life.

Listen. I don’t know what kind of çraçk Holly Renee sprinkles in her stories, but she can get me invested in a romantasy like no one else can. I have no idea how I’m going to get through until The Hunted Heir releases in July!!

More so after being forced into an arranged marriage Alistair Black has spent years hating Eloise LeBlanc while she has spent years pining after him.

When Massimo discovers a way to exploit Eloise’s background as a lawyer to his benefit, it puts her back in Alistair’s orbit. Drawn together like magnets, Alistair quickly discovers that Eloise is harboring many secrets and their complicated past won’t stay there.
The push and pull with these two… Whew! They were explosive, passionate, and utterly made for one another. While not an entirely new storyline, Jagger successfully dropped in enough twists and turns to keep me riveted.

The plot is minimal, the smut plentiful. Enjoy this one for what it is! So, if that’s what you’re after, look elsewhere. If not, enjoy this smutty one-handed read for exactly what it is!

I have rarely wanted to see the end of a series like I wanted to see this one. NOT because I didn’t enjoy it; quite the opposite. With all the loss and heartbreak, betrayal and vìolençe, Zoe and Gray’s story had me in such a chokehold that I needed to see their HEA in black and white. Claimed By A King was a very, very emotionally taxing read. But it was all necessary for Zoe and Grayson’s story.
I’m going to refrain from saying anything else to avoid giving any plot points away.

Willing to step out of her comfort zone to get her mojo back, she sends a letter to an inmate. A delivery blunder has her letter being delivered to an inmate on death row and when he catches sight of her during a class tour, all bets are off.
These two were perfectly imperfect! Micah was everything I didn’t know I needed. He was sweet in an unhinged way. I enjoyed seeing the way Storm embraced the darkness she didn’t even know was lurking beneath the surface.
I am content with the HFN, but I would love to see an extended epilogue or them popping up in an interconnected story featuring Sierra! Manifesting that… ✨

When Ruby breaks her ankle and is unable to perform at The Loft, a mafia-owned s3x club, Cora is forced to take her twin’s place to make ends meet.
Almost instantly, Ewen McGowan knows that something is off. As he watches his dancer closely for clues, he quickly becomes enamored with her. That obsession ultimately keeps Cora safe from the undesirables her sister has fallen in with.
Dickmatized. That’s what Ewen did to me. Holy swoon! Ewen is definitely top-tier in the Obsessed Alphahole category! He was the perfect contrast to Cora. Our girl was innocent and sweet until pushed out of her safe zone and I loved watching her come into her own. With a perfectly balanced plot to steam ratio, their story kept me, both, on the edge of my seat and fanning myself.
Full disclosure: I started in the middle of the series, having only read Dark Obsessions prior to Corruption. While I don’t feel like it was problematic for reading this book, I do want to go back and read the prior releases! I’m also looking forward to getting to know the enigmatic Alfie in his upcoming story!
At 10 years old, Briar Rose Nightingale is left in the care of her godfathers, the Abbot brothers.
Despite her changing feelings toward her caretakersAt 10 years old, Briar Rose Nightingale is left in the care of her godfathers, the Abbot brothers.
Despite her changing feelings toward her caretakers, as she approaches her 18 birthday, Briar plans life on her own. What she doesn’t know - yet - is that through the evolution of their relationship, one thing has remained the same: she’s always been theirs and a date on the calendar won’t change that.
Where these brooding, dominant, overprotective, alphahole brothers were s•w•o•o•n•y, Briar was soft and naïve. Yet Finn, Mason, and Falk ensured she came into her own.
Their dynamic will not be for everyone. If you have any hesitation, check the TW.

Yeah, I'm totally kicking myself for not reading Montana Fyre until this book because I have. been. missing. out. In a BIG way! Fractured Vows flawlessly combines so many favorite tropes with all the suspense and steam to keep you flipping pages long after you should have been sleeping. Or working. Or otherwise adulting.

Scheduled for a writer’s retreat at The Vincent, an infamous hotel known for its spooky happenings, she takes Priest along after her roomie bails.
I really wasn't entirely sure what to expect out of this one, but it exceeded my expectations. Forbidden romances are my favorite, particularly the stepbrother trope. Combine that with all the steam and the twists and turns with the paranormal mystery, and you've got an edge-of-your-seat, what-the-hell-is-going-on and what-is-going-to-happen-next thriller!

Far lighter than a typical LB book, this was a steamy surprise that still has her trademark steam and flair. I’d definitely recommend this one for readers who want to try Lauren without diving into the deep end. Likewise, current fans will enjoy this one as a perfect palate cleanser.

Raised to loathe one another based on their respective last name alone, Winnie and Archer quickly learn the line between love and hate is so fine it might as well be nonexistent.
Gah! That’s my assessment of these two. They really were perfect for one another. Watching Winnie thrive once out from under her father’s thumb was gratifying. Likewise, Archer seeing beyond years of bad blood to do what was right was s3xy AF. Plus, their trek toward a HEA was filled with just enough angst to keep you edged to the point of insanity.

If you’re a fan of BJ Alpha, you are going to want - scratch that, need - to read this one. I was thrilled to be back in the Brutal world. All the more exciting to have characters from the other series’ play a part in this story. Honestly, the way her worlds converge is nothing short of genius. Doesn’t mean I’m not seething over the cliffy. ...more

This action-packed half of her story brings a lot of emotion as Kira faces long-repressed memories and incredibly difficult decisions as she moves forward.
I’m really conflicted about this installment, to be honest. In the broad sense, I liked the trajectory, all the twists and turns. That said, there were several events that hurt my heart to get us to the HEA. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a dark romance and I understand what that entails. I just… ...more

He’s her stepfathA student at Blackmore University, Christine Lucatello, is face-to-face with Professor Niccolo Terlizzi on the regular. The problem? He’s her stepfather. And their chemistry won’t be denied.
Dark Obsession had a mashup of some of my favorite tropes and some unique elements within an oft written storyline.
However, I was disappointed in Niccolo as our MMC. His actions didn’t align with his words, making him unbelievable as a man obsessed, who would “do anything” for his woman. Christine, on the other hand, was a good FMC; feisty, strong, full of conviction.

But when she’s not only the coach’s daughter, but she’s also your best friend’s sister, it makes her doubly off limits.
Secret romances are hit or miss for me. With its low angst, this one was a hit! I loved the connection and chemistry between the two. Cole is quite possibly the sweetest caretaker I’ve ever met. But he also gave pretty good dirty talk. And he brought out the best in Eve. #swoon

Ready to meet her fate, she is escorted by Nathaniel, the Crown Prince, to Volmasque Academy. There, as a wolf shifter, she’ll be trained to become an obedient pet for a vampire master.
While not plot heavy, there is enough to assuage any guilt. Moreover, that cliffy at the end suggests that the plot will thicken considerably with Plug & Tame.
As for our characters, I love a domineering MMC, but I also liked the glimpses of Nathaniel’s true self. Likewise, it’s clear that Kira has been holding back and I can’t wait to see how she handles that ...more
