Cute little romance novella.
Dawson and Lara are next door neighbors but they have an animus relationship although Dawson has liked Lara since he first met her but he never acted on it. Lara comes to Dawson to ask him to teach her self defense.
I don’t really know what to say about this short romance. It was cute but just not that attention grabbing. I like the author so I will continue to read her books but minimal smut here and no OTT instalove. ...more

Who doesn’t enjoy a good boss employee marriage of convenience?
This was a well written romance. This author is fast becoming a favorite due to her emotional/angsty storylines and this one was fraught with them.
Luca and Valentina enter this faux marriage with certain stipulations but they don’t expect to fall in love. I loved Luca’s possessive, over the top jealousy prior to his acknowledging his feelings.
I really enjoyed this psychological thriller and read in one sitting.

I really enjoyed this psychological thriller and read in one sitting.
I am in awe of authors that can weave such intricate plots and twists and turns. This author is very good at that.
Tess wakes up everyday and does not remember the last few years. Like Groundhog Day with amnesia and we the readers are trying to understand why she can’t remember the day before. I won’t talk to much because I don’t want to give away any spoilers.
I did kind of figure out some of the ending before getting there but it was still a good and interesting read. ...more

A cute Christmas mafia insta love novella with all the mistletoe feels.
Leah is working in her bookstore late one night when a stranger knocks on the door. He has been stabbed and asks for her help. She reluctantly lets him in and helps patch him up until his personal doctor can get there. After that he is constantly watching her to protect her in case harm tries to come to her.
It was a cute read. Felt a little incomplete as a lot of questions were left unanswered but probably further in the series. Will continue this series....more

It’s amazing to me how this author can pack a full story in so many short pages. You get everything….plot, romance, action…you name it. This one like her other books has a mafia plot. Devlin is one of the head of the “families” and he owns a strip club. Diamond runs away from her abusive father and tries to get a job as a dancer at the club. Devlin takes one look at her and he is a goner.
Love the insta-love/lust and the “touch her and I’ll kill you” vibe. Very well written.

I was highly anticipating reading this book. Admittedly I am late in reading but still I was excitedly looking forward to an edge of your seat ride full of plot twists and turns. But alas, there were few of those and the climax was sub anticlimactic. The writing was done well but overall it was not a book that stood out proudly as a bestselling thriller. It was just okay. And there is nothing wrong with a “just okay” book but I was not expecting it after all the buildup. But I will continue to read this author’s work and look forward to her next book....more

Another great quick read by MINK….
Grant is the head of a mafia family and his mother loves animals and talks him into accompanying her to the vet where he meets Amelia. Amelia is sweet and innocent and totally taken by the charming Grant but she thinks he is a gardener.
Plenty of action in this story. A lot packed into a tiny book. Low on spice but overall a good and exciting read....more

Jodi Ellen Malpas goes dark and it was a wild and beautiful ride.
It’s no secret that JEM is one of my favorite authors so when she dropped a surprise release with a hot new villainous, bad boy BRITISH hero my blood pressure skyrocketed...lol. Yes please and where do I buy my copy.
Danny is a bad boy Brit who transplanted to the US and the head of the crime family in Florida.. When Rose drops into his hands she is initially a pawn for revenge on his enemy but over time he sees so much more in her. Rose is emotionally dead inside. She is used by men and no longer feels anything until Danny awakens her desire.
This dark romance had my riveted and I was thoroughly entrenched in Rose and Danny’s world. Danny is a ruthless and violent SOB so trigger warning...he is definitely an anti-hero. JEM cleverly wrote this story with conflict, twists and passion.
I am soooo glad I double backed and read this one on my TBR list. It truly touched my heart.
This is the beautiful story of Loga***5 STARS***
Steam: 4/5
I am soooo glad I double backed and read this one on my TBR list. It truly touched my heart.
This is the beautiful story of Logan and Charlotte. Charlotte is stuck in a dead end and stressful job. She works for her father’s investment company and she detests it. The only solace she gets is in her wait for the subway when a beautiful man is busking in the station. His voice soothes her and the words he sings relaxes her. She sits and soaks in his music and imagines he is singing only to her.
Logan sees the beautiful woman everyday when he plays his guitar and sings by the train. He can tell she is beat down and he sings just for her. He pours himself into every song hoping that it brings her some happiness. Then one day he introduces himself and the rest is history.
I absolutely loved Logan. He was an affectionate and caring alpha who had no problem in expressing himself and his feelings. He wanted Charlotte and he wooed her in the sweetest ways. He shows her a different side of life...the simple life and shows her true happiness. He shows her what true love is. I loved Logan for healing Charlotte.
This is a standalone NA romance that features insta love. It was so beautifully written that it touched my soul. I loved experiencing their relationship and boy was this book steamy hot. This couple had off the charts chemistry. This book captured me from page one and didn’t let go until the final words...I was totally engrossed. Melanie Moreland craftily wrote this romance showing her talent. If this story doesn’t touch you..I don’t know what will.

Holy Moly this was a good book! I needed this read to bring me out of my recent reading slump.
Charlynn is down on her luck when she finds an ad online for a "Girl Friday". Someone is looking for an assistant to help take care of their business and home. At first she is hesitant thinking this is an old man because who else uses the term "Girl Friday"?
Maxx is overwhelmed with his life. He is a mechanic/motorcycle restorer and getting over a disastrous breakup. His life is disorganized and out of order and he needs help so he places an ad online. When Charly answers the ad he thinks he is getting a young man to come and assist him, but he is really surprised when Charly turns out to be a she instead of a he.
I loved this couple. Maxx was all growly and grumpy alpha motorcycle riding hunk. He has been hurt by a previous relationship and has definite trust issues (which he should after what he endured). Charly is a ball of energy, quirky, and she fulfills everything Maxx needs. She checks all his boxes and improves him in ways that the reader doesn't even expect. She is perfect for him and it is fun to see how they grow together. She truly helps him to love again. The attraction between them is intense and the love scenes are steamy.
I highly recommend this feel good book! You will definitely enjoy it....more

In Creole Kingpin we are once again transported to New Orleans and the underworld ruled by Lachlan Mount. Now we get the story of Magnolia Maison, a woman known for her beauty and no nonsense reputation.
Badass is tame in describing Magnolia. She is the most fiercest heroine I have ever read. She walks the walk and talks the talk. Not afraid of anything she makes her way into transitioning away from being the most famous madam of New Orleans. Just as she is starting to see her plans come to fruition Moses Gaspard sweeps back into her life after a fifteen years disappearance.
Moses Gaspard comes back to New Orleans with an agenda and Magnolia is it. Throughout the book Moses carries an heir of mystery around him. I am hoping in the next book of this duet we learn more about him. Also although there is implied passion between the couple I would definitely classify this as a slow burn which was kind of disappointing.
This book definitely ends on a cliffhanger and we are left wondering if Magnolia will let down her guard and allow Moses back into her life. Meghan March is a gifted storyteller and the book is very fast paced and I read in one sitting. I was definitely excited to see more of Mount, and I highly encourage you to read his trilogy if you have not....he is the ultimate alpha crime boss.
I enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read the conclusion....more
