What’s a girl supposed to do when she’s secretly in love with her best friend?

I’ll you a hint. It’s not accompany him home for the holidays and pretend to be his girlfriend. How did I even end up here?

I’ll tell you how. I got lost in Justin Morrison’s baby blues, that’s how. Ever since Justin rescued me from my no good cheating ex – I’ve had a thing for him. I’ve done my best to keep it under wraps. Hell, I intended to take this truth to the grave. I’ve never had someone protect me the way he does and I’ve never wanted to ruin our friendship.

The problem is, to give his ailing grandma, possibly the best last Christmas, and cover a teensy teensy little white lie he told her, now I’m having to pretend to to be in love with him. Sleeping in the same bed…kissing him!

All for show of course.

But I can do this right? I can hide my real feelings? Even when he takes our public kisses behind closed doors and there’s no mistletoe in sight?

MISTLETOE HEARTS is a story of family and friendships, acceptance and love. The fast paced, character driven premise is predictable but sweet and captivating; the romance is seductive; the characters are energetic and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 2, 2023

I’m caught in the psychopath’s web.
Cold, heartless, and as dangerous as he is beautiful. Deimos Drakos is Greek mafia royalty and my worst nightmare. A chameleon hiding a true monster in plain sight.
No one sees the villain behind those dark, lethally gorgeouse yes.
No one but me.
You see, I know his worst secrets. But he knows my darkest fantasies. And he’ll use them to trap me.
To toy with me.
To own me.
We’re blurring the lines between fantasy and reality. Except true psychopaths like him have no lines.
No limits. No mercy.
Deimos is a devil who once told me to run and never look back.
I should have listened.
Because now he’s going to chase me. He’s going to catch me, and flay open every dark part of me.
But he’ll never capture my heart.

••••••••

REVIEW: RECKLESS HEARTS is the sixth instalment in Jagger Cole’s contemporary, adult DARK HEARTS dark, erotic, romance series. This is twenty-five year old Dahlia Roy, and Greek Mafia royalty Deimos Drakos’ story line. RECKLESS HEARTS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Dahlia and Deimos) using present day and memories from the past, RECKLESS HEARTS follows the acrimonious relationship between our story line couple. Six years earlier, while attending Knightsblood University, Dahlia Roy’s life would spiral out of control. Bullied by the student body for who she was, and her family’s reputation, Dahlia thought she finally found someone for love and support but the darkness continued to follow; death and destruction, secrets and lies would push our heroine to run for her life, run from the man with whom she would eventually fall in love. As Dahlia begins her life anew, the past would return, taking control, threatening the woman she had become. What ensues is the building but questionable relationship between Deimos and Dahlia, and the potential fall-out as the ultimate betrayal threatens the life of our story line heroine,

The world building focuses on Deimos’ need to take control. Six years earlier he pushed our heroine out of his life and off campus, with threats never to return but a birthday party for Deimos’ sister Callie, would bring our couple face to face, ensuring Dahlia no longer had control of her life. With a forced indentured servitude, Dahlia becomes Deimos’ lone employee and slave in an effort to protect the people she loves.

The relationship between Dahlia and Deimos is one of power and control. Dahlia’s and her mother are about to lose everything, and quite possibly their lives, therefore Deimos is determined to take by force and coercion in an effort to protect the woman with whom he is falling in love. Their backstories are dark, heart breaking and distressing. The $ex scenes are erotic, provocative and not without some concerns of questionable consent.

The secondary and supporting characters are interesting and sometimes questionable. We are introduced to Dahlia’s mother Adele Roy; her step father Gerard Dumouochel, and step-brother Raphael; fellow students Victoria, Chase Cavendish Brad Hathaway, Spencer Campbell, as well as the return of Deimos’ siblings Ares, Hades, Callie and Castle, and their all-seeing grandmother Ya-ya. The requisite evil has many faces and

RECKLESS HEARTS is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, hatred and obsession, fear and anxiety, forgiveness and love. The premise is dramatic and edgy but I guessed the guilty party(s) within minutes of introduction; the forced proximity romance is tragic and fated; the characters are sensational and destructive.

Once again, take note of the trigger warnings

ABOUT THE BOOK : Release Date November 2, 2023

Dear Sneaky Santa,

I’d like to have a word about your sense of humor. Was it really necessary to stick me, a professional hockey player nursing an injury and avoiding the media, in an isolated cabin with a bratty, boot-designing princess who seems to have made it her mission to despise me? I mean, come on, what did I ever do to you?

And let’s talk about our first encounter. Was it your intention for her to barge in on me while I was enjoying a soak in the tub? It wasn’t exactly my finest moment, and I’m sure she didn’t appreciate the view of my massive body floundering around as I tried to grab a towel.

Now, I’m stuck with her, thanks to a mutual acquaintance, in the middle of a snow blizzard, navigating through bear attacks, sketchy neighbors, and whole lot of tension. I had plans, Santa, plans to escape to Cabo and forget about the world, not to be trapped with a woman who thinks I’m unworthy of her time just because she can’t stand hockey players.

Oh, and speaking of our delightful Iris, she’s stingier with her food than Scrooge was with his pennies! I’m not asking for a feast, but a guy’s got to eat! And could you possibly turn her yippy dog into a reindeer or something? It would certainly add to the Christmas spirit and save my eardrums.

I’m trying to rediscover the meaning of Christmas, and you throw me into this chaos? Is this some kind of test, or are you just having a jolly laugh up there in the North Pole?

So here’s my Christmas wish, Santa: sprinkle a bit of your magic and either get me out of here or be a Cupid and ignite a fiery, undeniable passion between us, because right now, this scenario is frostier than a snowman.

Slapshotting Through the Snow, Kyler Blanchette

••••••••••••

REVIEW: CHRISTMAS CUPID by Ilsa Madden Mills is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, erotic, romance novella focusing on twenty-eight year olds, Nashville Predators’ winger Kyler Blanchette, and custom boot designer Iris Miller.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Iris and Kyler) CHRISTMAS CUPID follows the building but acrimonious relationship between our leading couple. Kyler Blanchette has suffered a possible career ending injury, and while the team is looking championship bound, Kyler is struggling with a decision going forward. When his teammate Will Miller offers the rental of a cabin in the days leading to Christmas, Kyler never expected to come face to face with Will’s sister Iris, a spoiled fashion princess who wants nothing to do with our story line hero.A lack of food, plenty of booze, a snow storm, and a chip on Iris’ shoulder means a several unhappy days until their mutual attraction pulls them together but Iris is about to struggle with the ‘morning after regrets’, pushing Kyler Blanchette out of her life.

The world building focuses on the tempestuous relationship between our leading couple. Iris wants nothing to do with hockey players or the life, and Kyler suspects his season is over before it began. The relationship between Kyler and Iris is turbulent and intense. Iris struggles with everything Kyler represents, and Kyler only wanted a few days away to think about his future, going forward.Knowing his teammate had set him up, Kyler tries to make the best of an increasingly difficult situation. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters are colorful and dynamic. We are introduced to Iris’s brother Will ‘Slappy’ Miller,several teammates, questionable neighbors, and a yippy dog who doesn’t answer to his name.

CHRISTMAS CUPID is a cute, entertaining and engaging story line. The premise is impassioned; the characters are energetic and charismatic but the heroine is quite unpleasant and hostile at the beginning of the story. The romance is seductive and spirited.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 31, 2023

She’s his sweet sin…

Sweet Sin, an all-new tantalizing, romantic suspense, and the second book in the Bellamy Brothers series from New York Times bestselling author, Helen Hardt, is now available!

Ex-convict Falcon Bellamy served eight years for a crime he didn’t commit. Once he was free, he wasted no time hopping into bed with his parole officer. She was the salve he needed to soothe the demons from his incarceration and the worry for his sister who’s fighting a life-threatening disease.

But sweet Savannah Gallo has her own demons.

A member of a notorious crime family that robbed her of both her brothers, Savannah tried to leave her past behind. But a rival organization wants her, and they’ll stop at nothing. Savannah knows how to fight back, but she has an Achilles’ heel, and she’s determined to save him from another prison sentence.

Falcon is no stranger to sacrifice. He will keep Savannah out of harm’s way…and he’ll plow through anyone who tries to stop him.

••••

REVIEW:Sweet Sin is the second in the Bellamy Brothers series, and as always HH has a choke hold on me that I never want to end. You must read book one in the series; Savage Sin before reading this sweet baby, there is too much backstory, plus this book picks up when the first one ends.

Falcon “Savage” Bellamy served time in prison for a crime he didn’t do, so when he gets out all bets are off. Until Savvy throws herself into his life, and by that I mean ….”she came in like a wrecking call.” Never a truer statement. Savvy is Falcon’s parole officer, but that doesn’t stop his lusting after her. Soon enough they are tumbling away in the sheets.

With Savvy though, there is always more than meets the eye. She hides a past of secrets, trauma and pain. Falcon has been through his fair share of pain and trauma for two lifetimes, but Savvy is under his skin and he was born to be a protector, so if that has him wading into dirty waters, so be it. Even if it lands him back in the clinker.

Savvy and Falcon may have started off as a physical attraction, but their relationship quickly blossoms into something much more. Their story is one of forgiveness, emotional growth and oh so much spice. I can’t wait to see what else comes from this series.

FALCONSavannah jerks against me in the hot tub, opening her eyes, the water swishing around us.
“You okay, Vannah?”

“Yeah. I’m fine. I thought I heard something.”

“Probably just the dogs playing.”

“Right. It’s not like I could hear anything over the whirring of the jets anyway.”

She snuggles back into my shoulder and I hold her against me, loving the touch of her flesh on mine, until— She shoots her eyes open when Sydney barks.

“She’s barking, Falcon.”
“They’re just playing.”

“Right…”

But it’s not a playful bark. It’s—

I jerk away from her, standing.

You learn to sense things on the inside. You can be alone, your eyes closed, yet you know when someone is near. Someone who means you harm. It’s a sixth sense, and you can’t make it in prison without it.
And now? I feel it in my fucking bones—that ache in your marrow that helped our cavemen ancestors survive in the wilderness.

Someone’s here for me. My guns are inside the house in a safe. I’m not supposed to have firearms as a parolee, but that doesn’t matter in this moment. How the fuck do I get there, though?

How the fuck do I protect Savannah?

I glance to the only part of the pool house that has a lock —the changing room. She’ll be safe there, for now at least. “Savannah,” I say as quietly as I can over the hot tub. “See that door by the bar? It goes to the changing room. You go over there, slowly, close the door, and lock it.”

“What?” she gasps.

“Do as I say.”

“Falcon!”

“Damn it, Savannah. Do it now.”

She trembles as she steps out of the hot tub, walks to the bar, looking only straight ahead. She opens the door and closes it behind her.

Please remember to lock the deadbolt. I’m too far away to hear it click over the noise.

I exit the tub quietly, grab my jeans and stumble into them, leaving the rest. I’ve got only my fists and my wits to protect Vannah, and I don’t need the hindrance of clothes.

My hair is dripping over my shoulders as I leave the pool area, walk into my backyard.

Sammy runs toward me, but I have no choice but to shoo him away. Sydney stands by the fence, barking like a menace. She’s a mother protecting her pup, and right now that’s working in my favor.

Then I see them. Two muscled men—one blond and one dark-haired, both dressed in black—enter the backyard, both armed with pistols.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 26, 2023

Most love stories are written in the stars. Ours was forged in darkness. A love born from survival.

One, two, three, four…
You want a fight, I’ll bring a war.

Five, six, seven, eight…
I’ll even use such pretty bait.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, why…
Did you leave me there to die?

But I’m not dead,
I survived… somehow.
And it’s my games that you’ll play now.

Rich men, poor men, begging men, bleed.
A brutal death is what they need.
Our lives were theirs, they stole our soul.
Now it’s our turn to take control.

So, do you dare to join me in my game of why’s?
Where hidden truths become wicked lies.
Will you survive the ultimate test?
Which one of you will be the best?

They call you The Player but I’m going to show
that those closest to you can be your greatest foe.

••••••••

REVIEW:  This series just goes from strength to strength, all the stories follow one another, but you don’t need to read them in order to understand the next book.

The player in this book is Will, he’s a loyal soldier, seen as a bit of a fool and a mouth that has no filter!

I have to admit, Will wasn’t a favourite of mine until his book (Adam is still my favourite ?) until they become a main character in their own book, I find the soldiers annoying ? and really arrogant, but you get to see that soft side that only their family see, and then it’s only a small part, it’s as if they’ve saved that soft side for the person that will become the center of their world.

Bryony Masters is no fool when it comes to life, her sisters have learned from a young age how life can be! One of her sisters is dating a soldier, so she’s around them quite a bit, but the one that rubs her up the wrong way is Will! She thought he liked her, only his way of showing affection is not to Bryony’s liking! So the less she has to do with him the better! Only Will doesn’t seem to want to take no for an answer…..

I must admit I did think it was someone else from the soldiers past, and in a way it was, just not the person i thought it might be. There are no clues in the previous books, (I did go back and read them all again just in case ?)

The chemistry between these two people was electric, even when she wasn’t too keen on him, you could tell he was wearing her down ?

The atmosphere The Taskmaster created was tense, very “Saw” like. The puzzles and the countdown only added to the tense “game” he was playing with the couple.

The banter that goes back and forth between all the characters will have you chuckling.

The sadness that was in Will’s childhood will have you reaching for a tissue (or two) and reading this book will get you feeling emotions that most books don’t achieve. There are no pauses, no stumbling, we just go from plot to plot. I’d watch this as a Halloween movie any day.

And I really enjoyed how we still interact with previous characters from the series.

I liked how both Will and Bryony kept each other balanced and focused while captured, each becoming the other’s protector, each not letting the other give up.

Will was definitely the first to fall, but he didn’t care who knew it. He was going all out to win his girl’s heart, even if it meant sacrificing himself in the process!!

Did I feel sorry for the taskmaster? A little yes, do I want him to get a HEA? I honestly don’t know ? if you read the book you’ll know why ?

This is dark, this will have triggers for some people, please read the warnings.

Otherwise grab this book and be prepared to have a few OMG moments.

It’s another highly recommended read from me.

I have only one stipulation—no one, including my boyfriend, can find out.

Worse, the lines we’ve drawn between us blur as we spend more time together. And when my relationship comes crashing down around me, I almost forget why I couldn’t stand him all along.

If I’ve learned one thing about Beckham Carver, it’s that he always gets what he wants…

… and now, he’s set his sights on me.

••••••

REVIEW: THE RIVALS WE HATE is the first instalment in Brooke O’Brien’s contemporary, new adult BRAYSEN U erotic, romance series. This is mechanic and football player QB Beckham Carver, and Hallyn Rivers story line .

Told from dual first person perspectives (Hallyn and Beckham) THE RIVALS WE HATE focuses on the building romance and relationship between our leading couple. Braysen Bulldogs’ star quarterback is struggling with his classes, and needs a tutor to help with his grades. Having met Hallyn Rivers days before, when her truck broke down, Beckham offers an exchange of services – truck repairs for tutoring lessons-with the woman with whom he will fall in love but Hallyn has a boyfriend, and Beckham must bide his time before everything begins to spiral out of control. As Beckham and Hallyn begin their relationship together, the past refuses to let go, targeting our couple in the process.

The world building focuses on the Braysen Bulldogs, their competition Keaton University, and bitter rivalry between starting quarterbacks.

The relationship between Hallyn and Beckham begins acrimoniously when Hallyn takes offence to Beckham’s behavior.Working side by side tutoring Beckham, Hallyn begins to see through the facade and onto the man with whom she is falling love. The $ex scenes are passionate and seductive.

We are introduced to a large ensemble cast of colorful energetic and impassioned secondary and supporting characters including Beckham’s twin Hayes, roommate Colter Vaughn; Hallyn’s best friend Ava, as well as several team members, and opposing players.

THE RIVALS WE HATE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, obsession and infatuation, acceptance and love. The premise is captivating and compelling; the romance is intense, heated and impassioned; the characters are charismatic and production. THE RIVALS WE HATE ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 30, 2023

I fell for my best friend long before I knew what that meant. Only I know he’ll never love me back.

He’s stuck in his head and his past demons and can’t see what is right in front of him.

But when Greer loses her home and needs a place to stay, both Noah and I know the only place she belongs is with us—in every way possible.

Now I’m falling for both of my roommates and trying to keep the people I protect safe.

Only someone is coming for them, and I can’t stop the inevitable fall.

I just have to hope that we made the right choices and that one day soon Noah and Greer will finally see who we can be.

Before we lose it all…or I finally walk away for good.

REVIEW:Best Friend Temptation is the fourth installment in the Montgomery Ink Legacy series. Ashley always, I recommend reading the series in order, but the majority of CAR’s books can be read as a standalone. Think of this book as a best friends fall in love meets why choose sweet romance. If you’re a reader into that, well this is gonna be right up your alley!

Noah and Ford are best friends and roommates, but are completely in love with one another, but they’re men, and can’t see what’s in front of them. Neither can understand that they want one another, not until her.

Greer is the newbie in town, after opening her bakery in town she is on top of the world. That is until her house burns down and she is left with nothing but ashes. Noah and Ford are friends of hers and when she calls them for help afterwords, she is beyond grateful. Then they offer her their spare bedroom, and then things take a twist. Greer thinks Noah and Ford and together, and they are , but they just can’t seem to get that figured out. They want to be together, but Noah keeps pulling back. When the tension finally breaks between the three of them, they finally give into their desire and WOW!

CAR never disappoints with her books and this is no different. I love this series, the Montgomery’s are a family that sticks together. Noah, Ford and Greer are a fun, intriguing, faced passed and real. I can’t wait to see what comes next next.
