ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 26, 2024

Royce Ashford.
The hottest man I’d ever met.
The first man I’d fallen for.

I’ve had a crush on my best friend’s older brother for as long as I could remember. His charm and sex appeal could seduce a saint, never mind a sex-crazed woman.

With his cocky grin, those broad shoulders, and that filthy mouth, he was a heartbreaker in a leather jacket. And a leading man in every single one of my naughty fantasies.

The first time I kissed him, we ended up locked in the friend zone forever. Apparently my smooching skills left much to be desired. In my defense, I was too young and inexperienced.

But I grew up and totally got over him.

Until my engagement fell apart and Royce swooped in like a prince charming, saving me.

One tiny problem.

I was falling for him all over again. My lustful imagination, raging hormones and accidental glimpses of Royce’s nakedness weren’t helping. Neither were the rumors of Royce’s kinky tendencies.

But I refuse to be a footnote in Royce’s life. If we were doing this, we’d do it all.

We’d go all the way.

REVIEW:KINKS OF A BILLIONAIRE is the fifth instalment in Eva Winners’ contemporary, adult BILLIONAIRE KINGS erotic, romance series. This is thirty-nine year old, billionaire Royce Ashford, and twenty-nine year old Willow Auclair’s story line. KINKS OF A BILLIONAIRE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. For fans of Eva Winners and the Billionaire Kings series, KINKS OF A BILLIONAIRE is set somewhere between books 3 and 4.

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

Told from three first person perspectives (Royce, Willow, Asher) KINKS OF A BILLIONAIRE follows the best friends to lovers relationship between our story line couple. Willow Auclair has been in love with her best friend’s older brother for as long as she can remember but ten years earlier, an awkward, drunken attempt at seduction left Willow in the friend zone with a broken heart. Fast forward to present day wherein Willow is about to marry a senator’s son but something about the impending wedding isn’t sitting right with Willow’s family or our story line hero, and Royce is about to get up close and personal to rescue the woman with whom he had fallen in love. What ensues is the marriage of convenience between two people who have danced around one another for most of their lives, and the potential fall-out when Willow’s past refuses to let go.

The world building focuses on friendships and family, as well as dysfunctional family values. Willow had remained friends with Royce after Royce’s rejection but ten years of pining forced Willow to look somewhere else.

The relationship between Royce and Willow is a best friends to lovers/married in which, in an effort to protect the woman he loves, Royce married Willow, ensuring no further harm would come to our story line heroine but the past continued to make demands, demands that threatened our story line couple. The $ex scenes are erotic and provocative.

There is a large ensemble cast of familiar and energetic secondary and supporting characters including the Ashford siblings: Byron, Winston, Aurora, and newcomer Asher; Alessio and Autumn; Willow’s parents, and her ex Stuart, as well as Congressman and Mrs Harris.

KINKS OF A BILLIONAIRE is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, betrayal and vengeance, greed and jealousy, family and love. The premise is dark, dramatic and intense; the romance is seductive and passionate; the characters are powerful, determined and desperate.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 22, 2024

A wedding dress is meant to be worn only once.
When a stranger finds herself in need of a miracle at the last minute, I do the unthinkable: I offer mine to her.
The same one I wore down the aisle for my late husband.
Now I’m invited to the wedding and finding myself wondering why I shut myself away from the world for so long.
I’m only meant to be at the Wilder Retreat for a single day except I go home with not only a job offer, but the promise of something more.
Ridge Wilder is hiding secrets of his own. And the undeniable chemistry between us burns before we even contemplate taking that first step.
Only I’ve already had my happy ever after. I never planned on finding another.
And Ridge is even far more broken than I am—with a past that might come back to haunt us both.

•••••

REVIEW:Moments For You is the next installment in the Wilder Brothers series by the ever radiant Carrie Ann Ryan. MFY is the seventh book in the series, and as always, I recommend reading a series in order to get the most out of it, but if you so choose the book can be read as a standalone.

Oh the feels with this one!

Aurora is a widow, one stuck in a limbo of her own making. On the anniversary day of her lost husband, she is mindlessly scrolling Insta, and sees a post from a desperate bride in need of a wedding gown. Aurora takes this as her long awaited sign that it is finally time to move on with her life and start living again. So she allows the new bride to wear her dress, this singular act brings more into her life than she could ever know. It brings her Ridge Wilder.

Ridge and his brothers are cousins of the original Wilder brothers, and so they bought the land across from their retreat to start their own business. Little does the rest of the family know the heartbreaking pain that Ridge is in. -No spoilers- He thinks he hides it so well behind his gruff exterior and surly attitude, but when he meets Aurora he finds himself drawn to her by their familiar pain. Between the two Wilder businesses, most know of Aurora’s loss, and give her the space she wants, but when she donates her dress, they start to think that maybe she is ready to move past it and start living again.

Ridge and Aurora’s story was so emotionally moving. I loved how they supported each other through everything, it was so moving how they bonded over their pain, but even more so that that is how they really start to get to know one another. As the story progresses, the characters evolve more and more, but Aurora is truly my favorite. She starts living again, really living and doing things that she loves again. Overall, I am pleased with the book and can’t wait to see what the other Wilder Brother-Cousin have coming for them.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 19, 2024

If you’re looking for Eli’s happy ever after, you’re in the right place!

Lyra’s life hasn’t been all sunshine and roses, she knows what it means to be alone after losing her parents at a young age. Witnessing the devastation her mother experienced after losing her bonded Alphas made one thing clear to Lyra. Scent matching isn’t for her.

No archaic rules or a fluke of biology is going to tell her who to love. Not now and not ever. Friendship, compatibility, and hard work are the best way to find people to spend your life with. But all of it means nothing when her pack meets their scent matched Omega. Suddenly Lyra wasn’t wanted. Thrown out of their lives and completely alone, Lyra is forced to start over—again.

When a job offer in a city where no one knows her name seems too perfect to be true, Lyra jumps on it. Really, who would turn down the chance to be an executive assistant at one of the most powerful companies in the country. Getting away from the pack who broke her heart was just an added bonus.

But her first encounter with the person she’d been hired to work for doesn’t go as planned. Her new boss… is one of her Alpha scent matches. This brings Lyra face to face with the past she’s been running from her entire life. The more she lets them in, the more Lyra realizes she might be wrong—wrong about everything.

Maybe scent matches aren’t just a fluke. Maybe they’re the only thing that matters.

•••••••••

REVIEW:I haven’t read the first two books in this series, and I don’t think I missed much, (they are about a different set of characters, but Eli is in books one and two) but at some point I’m going back to read them.

Mental health issues can sometimes be glossed over or dramatised. In this book we get it done right.

Lyra really doesn’t know what to do next! Her pack doesn’t want her, she can’t go back to her parents (sadly they died when she was young!) and watching her mother lose the will to live (she lost her mates) so when offered a job in a different town, Lyra takes it.

Let’s meet the rest of the characters….

Eli (Alpha) bonded to Lyra and now looking at a new pack to bond with…. He owns the company Lyra started to work for. And apparently he was in the last two books (definitely a reason to go look)

Tanner (Alpha) bonded to Fawn and Zachary (been with Zak a few years before adding more to the pack)

Fawn (Omega) bonded to Tanner/Pascal and Zachary, he’s Scent matched with Eli and now Lyra…

Zachary (Alpha) is the teddy bear of the family.

Pascal (Alpha) and oldest in the already established pack, bonded but doesn’t have a physical relationship with any of the members (until Lyra)

I loved how they all interacted with one another, and all the nicknames that are given (Sweet Pickle King is a favourite, I did chuckle when first given to the character

Being with a scent matched omega is a gift as far as an Alpha is concerned, but to be given two omegas and a new pack is more than most Alphas dream about. There is a period of adjustment for everyone, and miscommunication almost ends the bonding before it even begins!
Taking it slow and steady as to not trigger Lyra (she has PTSD from her traumatic childhood experience) they are all so patient with her. And they all know about traumatic pasts, each alpha and omega have been through their own experiences (stripper/changing careers through injury, to name but a few)

Wasn’t expecting the cliffhanger…. Maybe if I’d read book one and two I might have been prepared 😆(they aren’t tied to this book) and now I have to wait patiently to find out what happens next.

I really like this author and the books she writes. there is a lot going on in this book, it touches on quite a few topics (so check the trigger warnings) A highly recommended read if you love your Omegaverse books.

Everything is perfect until Jamie, the least maternal person on the planet, finds out that not only is she pregnant, but that her due date interferes with the film’s production schedule.

Ryan has always supported his wife’s ambition, but he never expected to learn that they were having a baby from the shouts of paparazzi. Hurt, angry, and afraid that Jamie will choose her career over their family, Ryan tries to pull her closer, but only succeeds in pushing her away.

Now, as the pillars of their once fairytale marriage begin to crumble, Jamie and Ryan must find a way to outshine the glitter of stardom and rediscover the strength of their bond.

“Oh, Kitten, believe me. If you don’t kiss me, there will definitely be a fight.”
I hold back a laugh, but my whole body is tingling from the scent of him. From the pressure of his body against mine. I slide my arms around his neck and rise up to claim his mouth. It’s both soft and hard, and the moment his fingers twine in my hair and his tongue finds mine, that tingle turns into a torrent. A wild wave of need so intense that I really, really wish that it was bedtime or nap time or any sort of away time for the kiddo.
But no. His mom won’t be back for hours, and that means I have to wait to get what I want. Ryan knows it, too, and when he gently pushes back, a wave of desperation crashes over me, and I have to fight the urge to draw him close, strip him bare, and scar the kid for life.
As if he knows what I’m thinking—and considering this is Ryan, he probably does—he chuckles softly. I feel the low rumble in his chest more than I hear it. Our eyes meet for a moment, then he eases behind me and rests his hands on my shoulders, the brush of his thumbs on the back of my neck sending shivers up my spine.
His breath tickles my ear as he leans close, and I freeze when he whispers, “I want one, Kitten. Not today. Not next week. But one of these days you need to stop being scared.”
I stay frozen, expecting him to walk on. To say something else. To do anything but what he’s doing, which is standing behind me, his palm now resting lightly on my shoulder.
It’s like a reverse staring contest, but it’s one I’m determined to win.
And as David stands up, then plops down on his bottom, then laughs his little head off before doing it all over again, Ryan bends over and kisses my head. Then he walks away from me, crossing the room to grab David and swing him up into the air, sending the little demon into peals of joyous laughter.

The Backup Bride Proposal by Jaci Burton – a Review

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / Google Play / Apple / BAM / Bookbub

 

Description:
Bellini Weddings has agreed to allow a production company to film a movie at Red Moss Vineyards. It will be great PR for both the vineyard and the wine and wedding businesses. Mae Wallace, who works for the Bellini family, is thrilled with the possibility of new business. What she isn’t thrilled with is actor Kane August, who she finds crashing one of the weddings. He tells her it’s research for the movie, but she finds him overconfident and annoying.

Kane August is rarely surprised by anything—until he meets Mae Wallace. She’s sharp, just a bit on the snarky side, and the most refreshing woman he’s had the pleasure of meeting. She constantly challenges him, and he can’t remember having this much fun on a movie set. He takes every opportunity to spend time with her, peeling back layers until he gets to the heart of who this amazing person really is. And, unexpectedly, he realizes that he’s letting her in, too, something he hasn’t done with anyone before. However, they live very different lives and he’ll need to be careful around Mae, because she’s someone he could see a future with. But can she see the same thing?

When Kane takes her to his family’s ranch in Texas, Mae discovers a whole new side to him, learning about the heart and soul of a kind and gentle man. And as they grow closer, her guard goes up. Once burned, she has no intention of falling in love ever again, despite this very hot and sexy guy who’s trying his best to turn her world upside down and work his way through the steely wall she’s built. Kane is determined to show her he’s the one man she can trust with her heart. If only Mae will allow herself to fall.

 

 

Review:

The Backup Bride Proposal by Jaci Burton is the 4th book in her wonderful Boots and Bouquets series. The story revolves around the Bellini family’s Red Moss Vineyards; which include their winery and their wedding planning business. The Bellini family has agreed to allow the production of a movie to film at the Vineyards; as they anticipate publicity for the vineyard, winery and wedding business

Mae Wallace, our heroine, is very close to the three sisters; with Erin, handling all of the business, Brenna and her father ran Red Moss Vineyards; and Honor was the wedding coordinator, assisted by Mae. She loved everything about the wedding planning business; which is always successful.  Now that a movie production company is coming shortly, everyone thinks that Mae should be their official liaison to deal with the company. Mae enjoys her job, and now adding her to be in the front of the project, makes her feel like more of a key player.  Though Mae loves the weddings, her view of marriage has made her not planning on ever getting married, as her ex-fiancé was a serial cheater. 

During the wedding event, Mae who watches over everything, sees someone who doesn’t really belong and finds him to be a crasher.  When she approaches him, he says he is here for research for the movie, and she forces him to leave. She discovers the following day, that Kane August, was indeed the crasher, and he is determined to charm her as he is enamored by her.  Kane’s costar is delayed and Mae is roped into the production as a stand-in, since her back is similar to the actress.

Slowly, Mae finds herself having fun with Kane, as she realizes that she was wrong about her first meeting with him, since he was charming, gentle and fun to be with. Kane is determined to win her over, as he too begins to enjoy Mae’s company, wanting to spend as much time with her. In a short time, both Mae and Kane’s chemistry explodes, and they both have strong feelings for each other.  Can Mae allow herself to trust and open her heart again?

What follows is a sweet wonderful romance, with a terrific couple, the fantastic Bellini family, who were such a great family.  I loved the friendship between the three sisters and Mae. I also loved how close Kane was to all the married men in the family. The Backup Bride Proposal was an enjoyable and entertaining story, especially seeing everyone. Jaci Burton has created a wonderful group of characters that are so much fun and enjoyable; with wonderful couples and family.  The Backup Bride Proposal is a wonderful romance that was fun, entertaining and sexy.  It was so very well written by Jaci Burton. If you enjoy wonderful romances, then look no further than Jaci Burton.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 23, 2024

Grayson Tanner has had better days. Coming off the successful international launch of Hooked, the hook-up app he cofounded with his two best friends, and a night with one of the sexiest women he’s ever met, he’s now in a PR nightmare. A video of him has gone viral—a toast to the indulgence of bachelorhood. It’s a bad look for the creator of the app’s marriage arm. As memberships plummet amid a media firestorm, his PR firm has a new narrative to quell the flames: Grayson has to get married. Fast.

Hello, Jovana Winters—social media influencer and Grayson’s former one-night stand. The one-night stand he has yet to move on from mentally. Their immediate connection is undeniable. In front of the camera, they’re charismatic and passionate, and social media is calling them the It couple. But off camera, Grayson doesn’t trust women or believe in commitment.

Jovana is the opposite, a believer in love who knows what she wants. Now she’s on a mission to turn this fake marriage into the real deal, even though she’s hiding the biggest secret of them all.

But with a man like Mr. Wicked, it won’t come easy.

••••••

REVIEW:Mr. Wicked is the second in the Hooked series by Marni Mann. Reading book one (Mr. Hook-Up) is recommended, while Wicked can be read alone, Grayson is part of a trio and is introduced in book one. Wicked is an alpha, billionaire romance filled with funny characters, spicy moments and a he falls first vibe.

Grayson is living the high life. The dating app he and his close friends have designed has exploded all over the internet, now it’s time to celebrate. When Grayson sees the waitress at the bar, he knows two things. 1. She is the hottest thing he has ever seen and 2.She is unlike anyone he has ever met before. When these two meet, the room is on fire with their chemistry, think of it as lust at first sight. Jovana isn’t one for hook-ups, she believes in love, but with Grayson, their lust is potent. She throws caution to the wind and puts her trust in the chemistry they have for one another, too bad that it comes to bite her in the bum. An empty bed in the morning.

Days later Grayson’s face is plastered all over the tabloids with half a dozen different women, all stating how amazing he thinks being single is. The company takes a hit, new enrollers are at a standstill, and their company’s PR is under fire to contain the issues. Their solution? Grayson must get married, and fast. Grayson isn’t one to take things lying down so you best believe the farce of a marriage the PR people are trying to peddle to him is a no go. Finally, after much conversation, Grayson is on board with the plan. Now they must find a woman willing to marry Grayson with the current situation. And of course, who is their first choice? Jovana.

What else is there to say about Mr. Wicked other than how fantastic a read it was. Grayson and Jovana were engaging and fun to read with the perfect amount of spice and character development. Grayson’s story as to why he had his issues is addressed and Jovana really does come into herself. I’m excited to see what our last bachelor has in store for us.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 20, 2023

What happens when luck runs out and you’re left with nothing?
Lucky
I’ve always been a betting man, it’s why they call me Lucky. But lately, luck seems to be the least of my worries. Especially when it comes to my personal life. I swore to stay away, and I have, but she likes to push my buttons.

But then the pranks stop and she’s done. Something’s going on with her. We all can see she’s not the same.

Now, she’s gone home, or at least that’s what she says.
To get my lucky streak back, I’ll find out what the hell she’s up to, and when I do, I know it won’t be good.

•••••

REVIEW:LUCKY’S STREAK is the third instalment in EC Land’s contemporary, adult DEVIL’S RIOT MC: TENNESSEE erotic, MC, romance series. This is Lucky and Chelsea’s story line. LUCKY’S STREAK 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 may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lucky and Chelsea) LUCKY’S STREAK follows in the aftermath of the fallout of a one-night stand between Lucky and Chelsea. Our heroine Chelsea was humiliated by the man with whom she thought she had fallen in love but in retaliation against Lucky proved more tiresome when she did not get the results she wanted, and Chelsea prepared to move on with her life but Chelsea has a secret that is about to implode, a secret that has placed a target on her back. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Chelsea and Lucky, and the potential fall-out as Chelsea struggles to trust in the face of perceived betrayal including the man whom she loves.

The relationship between Chelsea and Lucky is acrimonious at best. A one-night stand ends with Lucky ghosting our heroine, and in the ensuing aftermath Chelsea struggles to forgive and forget but threats against our story line heroine force Lucky to claim Chelsea as his own, threats that come from within and outside the club. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

Once again, we are reintroduced to several members of the Devil’s Riot MC including but not exclusive to: Storm and Blow (Blow’s Smoke 1) Nine and Meadow (Nine’s Time), Sniper and Rain, Nerd and Cara, Calyx, Scorn, and the introduced of Lucky’s brother Luka. The requisite evil has many faces.

LUCKY’S STREAK is another story of betrayal and vengeance, jealousy and obsession, power and control, retribution and retaliation, forgiveness and love. The fast paced, character driven premise is dramatic, gritty and twisted; the romance is edgy; the characters are animated, determined and impassioned.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Shiner and Olive) SHINER’S LIGHT follows in the wake of Olive’s torture and abuse at the hands of someone she knows. With a message for the Devil’s Riot MC, Olive struggles to reveal the truth but the truth is about to pull Shiner back into her life. Olive has lusted after Shiner for as long as she can remember but Shiner was into someone else, and that someone else is taking aim at our story line couple. What ensues is the building but fragile relationship between Shiner and Olive, and the potential fall-out as Olive is continuously placing herself in the direct line of fire.

The world building focuses on Olive’s recovery; the betrayal by a member of the family; and the break down of communication between our story line couple. Several weeks earlier, Olive went missing, and Shiner blamed Olive for everything that happened.

The relationship between Olive and Shiner is an enemies to friends to lovers but Olive has been in love with Shiner for as long as she can remember, even though, Shiner found himself living with someone else. Having spent most of her life on the periphery, shielding herself from the evil that continues to close in, Olive never wanted to place anyone in danger, and was willing yo let the danger come to her. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of interesting and questionable secondary and supporting characters including Olive’s sisters Sonia and Sasha: their father Rodion Kostenko; Shiner’s three year old son Milo; and several members of the Devil’s Riot MC: President Blow: VP Nines and Meadow, Lucky and Chelsea as well as the Crimson Blood Clan. The requisite evil has many faces.

SHINER’S LIGHT is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, power and control, obsession and madness, family, relationships, acceptance and love .The fast paced premise is intriguing, dramatic and dark; the romance is provocative; the characters are colorful but struggling and broken.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 16, 2024

I liked to think things happened in threes:
1. My girlfriend ghosted me and changed her number.
2. I got promoted, but I worked for Satan.
3. Months later, said girlfriend was back in my life, working underneath me as an intern.
Ah, the universe had jokes, ha, ha, hilarious.
All I had to do was survive the fourth annual Emory Games, a ridiculous office bonding game that Max Emory, our CEO, put on every year to help boost company morale and encourage the new interns.
Yeah, just ask me if they felt encouraged after diving into shark-infested waters. Don’t worry… only one person got hurt, and the accidental death paperwork was sound.
I had to work with her as my partner for a full week, and then I could bounce back to my department, pretend that she hadn’t broken my heart, and run me over with my own truck for good measure.
I should have been focused on the games, except again, things happened in threes…
1. She’s my partner.
2. She’s hiding something.
3. I may have fallen on her and kissed her. It’s a thing, it actually happens in real life—people just fall, and mouths meet, and what are you going to do?
Hi, my name is Ace Harley, and I was two point five seconds away from marching down to HR and begging for therapy.
Being an adult sucked balls.

REVIEW: OFFICE MATE by Rachel Van Dyken is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, romance story line focusing on businessman Ace Harvey, and PA Bri.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including talk of suicide, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ace and Bri) OFFICE MATE follows the second chance relationship between our story line couple. Several years earlier, Bri was struggling with her life until she met our hero and fell in love but all was not well, and believing Ace wanted someone and something different Bri walked away, losing everything and more. Fast forward two years, Bri is one of ten new interns at Emory Hotels, and the CEO is about to put everyone through the Emory Games Maze to learn about their weaknesses and strengths but Bri never expected to come face to face with her past, a past she was hoping to forget. Enter Ace Harvey, the man with whom Bri is still in love. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Ace and Bri as they are paired together in the Emory Games Maze events.

The relationship between Bri and Ace is one of second chances. Bri ghosted Ace in the face of perceived betrayal but Bri was struggling and refused to pull Ace into her downward spiral. Rekindling her relationship with Ace is either prophetic or fate but working together means a second chance at happily ever after. There are no $ex scene, everything is implied.

The secondary and supporting characters including CEO Max Emory, and his assistant Dustin, a young man who bears the brunt of Max Emory’s quirks and eccentricities.

OFFICE MATE is a fast paced, quick read; a novella length story of second chances. The premise is entertaining and captivating; the romance is fated; the characters are energetic-their back and forth frenetic and fast.
