Blurb

Just one month ago, Valentine O'Dell got her heart ripped out – yet another problem to add to her rapidly growing list. Between fighting to bring her sick grandmother home, searching for a new apartment after being evicted, and trying to figure out how exactly she's going to pay for everything, she doesn't have time to cry over a broken heart.

Then Ari Sharapov walks back in and tries to solve everything.

Ari may have gained a little more control in his life, but there's still one area he doesn't have a grip on – Valentine refuses to believe anything he says. Gone is the girl who wanted someone to take care of her, and in her place is a woman who's willing to take everything he has to offer, but without giving anything of herself in return. He's used to fighting battles in a courtroom, but convincing her of his feelings will be his biggest struggle yet.

Maybe it's time for this relationship to be brought to light.

Author Bio


Crazy woman from a remote location in Alaska (where the need for a creative mind is a necessity!), I have been writing since ... forever? Yeah, that sounds about right. I have been told that I remind people of Lucille Ball - I also see shades of Jennifer Saunders, and Denis Leary. So basically, I laugh a lot, I'm clumsy a lot, and I say the F-word A LOT.

I like dogs more than I like most people, and I don't trust anyone who doesn't drink. No, I do not live in an igloo, and no, the sun does not set for six months out of the year, there's your Alaska lesson for the day. I have mermaid hair - both a curse and a blessing - and most of the time I talk so fast, even I can't understand me.

Yeah. I think that about sums me up.

Blurb: Gabriela

Stefan Sabbioni showed up in my bedroom on my sixteenth birthday. Uninvited, he stood in the shadows smelling of whiskey and death and wrapped a broken, blood-crusted necklace around my neck. 

I thought he’d strangle me with it.

That night, he left a message for my father. He said he’d be back to take something precious. 

I never delivered that message, though. I wonder if things would be different if I had because now, two years later, he’s back. And he’s not hiding in any shadows. 

He’s come to make good on his promise. He’s back to take that something precious.  Me. 

Stefan

Marchese is the manipulator of my family’s tragedy. I won’t just bring him to his knees. I’ll bury him for what he did. 

Taking his daughter is only the beginning. I’ll do it knowing I’m starting a war. I’ll do it knowing my enemies will become his allies. They’ll stop at nothing to destroy me and he’ll stop at nothing to get her back.

I’ve never shied away from war, though. I’m not one to play nice and I don’t share my toys. I’ll demolish you if you touch what’s mine. 

And she is most definitely mine.

   

About the Author: USA Today bestselling author of contemporary romance, Natasha Knight specializes in dark, tortured heroes. Happily-Ever-Afters are guaranteed, but she likes to put her characters through hell to get them there. She’s evil like that.

GAMBIT (BROKEN BOWS #4) by Kerri Ann: ARC review

Gambit: Broken Bows MCGambit: Broken Bows MC by Kerri Ann
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gotta love Obi and Busta!!! Seriously these two are so intense!

In this Christamad novella, you'll come to the crossroads between Kerri Ann's series, the Broken Bows and The Restless Souls, and what a ride!

Between Obi's energy and excitement for the approaching Christmas and the mystery and tension surrounding Busta, it's a raging inferno. I went from fanning myself, to biting my nails, to laughing out loud... Fast paced, that story is rich and entertaining, really well executed.

HURT ME by Ker Dukey and K. Webster: Release Blitz

Hurt Me (KKinky Reads Collection)Hurt Me by Ker Dukey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

"Show me. See me. Please me. Burn… burn… burn…

Hurt Me is the new addition of Ker Dukey and K. Webster's KKinky Reads collection. Short, compelling and scorching hot, this novella is a treat you're going to devour.

I like to call these books my little treats because they are shots of emotions that you could eat, I mean, read all day long.

Xavi is the lead singer of a rock band. Tormented by guilt since his best friend overdosed, he is spiraling down. Blaine, is the cop the manager of the band calls when things get heated and out of hand.

When the dominant cop decide to take the young singer under his wing intensity skyrockets.

I loved Xavi's struggle and the way he fights his emotions and feelings. Insta-connection mixed with insta-lust, but will Xavi find the acceptance he craves through Blaine's rules? 

Fans (but not only) of M/M romance will love the rawness of this relationship. 

Well done, ladies!

KNIGHT (RESTLESS SOULS #2) by Kerri Ann: ARC Review

Knight, (Restless Souls MC, #2)Knight, by Kerri Ann
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Second book in the Restless Souls MC series, Knight takes the reader in yet another battle where the stakes intensify and the risks reach new levels.

Codero and Piper escaped from the Alta Noche Cartel and now face new threats. Decisions must be made and alliances are reinforced.

As family, brotherhood, frienships are challenged, Codero resumes his position. Piper adapts to her new life and when she has to, she doesn't hesitate to stand up for herself and to show a renewed strenght she hadn't shown before.

Kerri Ann created an intertwined world of cartels and motorcycle clubs where the characters are brought together to save one of them. I loved the short chapters that rhythmed the tale. Fast paced, the story kept me intrigued and I found myself biting my nails more than once. 

The trap closing in on Piper and the intricate power game of the the clubs against the cartel made of this book a real page-turner.

LEAVE ME (TOUCH OF DEATH #2) by L.P Lovell: EXCERPT REVEAL


Take a peek inside Leave Me by LP Lovell! One-click this heart-pounding read today!



Contemporary Mafia Romance
Designed by Vixen Designs
Release date: July 30, 2019

Purchase your copy of LEAVE ME here:


Blurb:
Adelina Ricci was a job, until she became much more. I was tasked to protect her, but I failed. Now she is in the hands of the enemy, and this time, she doesn’t want saving. She’s going to marry him. 

We’re bound in a tangled web of loyalty and lies, betrayal and longing. She needs to avenge her fathers death. I just need her. 

A princess in a tower. A hero without a cause. A love that may ruin them both. 

Leave me or love me?

EXCERPT:
I slide the heavy card from inside the envelope. As soon as my eyes land on the words, a foreign sensation settles behind my ribs, an ache that I wasn’t ready for.

You are invited to the wedding of Adelina Ricci and Enrique Bianchi.
She’s doing it. She’s going to marry him. My heart lurches in a way that steals the breath from my lungs. I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to perform the basic act of breathing in and out. I count to ten, but it does nothing because all I see is Adelina…with him. I remember her face in my dream, so broken, so sad. I imagine that’s what she’ll look like as she walks down the aisle in virginal white. Or maybe she’ll smile, knowing that one day she gets to kill Enrique Bianchi. One day…after he’s defiled her. That rage that is my ever-present companion breaks free, turning my vision red. I can’t control or leash whatever this is. My emotions pour from me in a torrent, swirling in a violent vortex of hate, regret, and pure, unbridled anger.

Tossing the invite to the ground, I turn, clenching and releasing my fists in a bid to gain control. I can’t. Before my mind has fully registered the movement, my hand drives into the wall, over and over until my knuckles crunch and bleed and the plaster cracks. My heart pounds against my ribs so hard I’m practically choking on it as the drumbeat ricochets through my entire body. Bracing my hand against the wall, I drop my head forward and squeeze my eyes closed. Pain slowly filters back in, and I grit my teeth and clutch my stomach. That lacerated liver is making itself known.

“Still think there’s nothing to talk about?” Una asks quietly.

Trapped in my own head, I’d almost forgotten Una standing there. Watching me. I say nothing, both ashamed and alarmed by my irrational loss of control. I slowly turn to face her.

She tilts her head to the side, assessing, probing. “You love her.”

I snort because the notion is entirely ridiculous. I don’t even know what love is. And I certainly don’t know what this is. “No. I respect her.”

Her gaze drifts past me to the cracked plaster. “The two aren’t mutually exclusive.” She folds her arms over her chest. “I’ve never seen you like this, and I’m worried.”

That’s because I’ve never felt like this. I’ve never lost control in my life, even in the very worst situations. Everything about Adelina drives me to volatile actions. I wish I could just forget she ever existed. Cut her out like diseased flesh before she taints everything she touches. But I think it’s too late for that. I’m already infected; I can feel it spreading like a virus.

LEAVE ME (TOUCH OF DEATH #2) by L.P Lovell: ARC Review & Blog Tour

Leave Me (Touch of Death #2)Leave Me by L.P. Lovell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In the spirit of the other books of L.P Lovell's mafia world, Leave Me, second installment of the Touch Of Death series, left me breathless.


The tension induced by the omnipresent danger was admirably handled. Fast paced, Sasha and Lina's twisted story takes another turn; Did I like Lina's choice to leave Sasha in order to take revenge on the man that ruined her life and plotted her father's death? Absolutely not. 

"In this story, the princess must slay the dragon.

Admittedly, she had me screaming at her naivety and foolish tentative. Will be strong enough to resist Enrique's ruthlessness?

He wants this— what I’ve become— a scared , broken girl who he can abuse.

It doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the ride, though. Sasha's rage and his struggle over his feelings and emotions gave me goosebumps. How to not feel for that human weapon who fell for the mafia princess?

“Don’t be indifferent. Love is supposed to hurt. How else do you know it’s real?”


And when my favorite crazy duo (namely Una and Nero) take things in hands, I am their first supporter!

My curiosity is piqued as to how things will work out...for everybody!!! I am definitely ready for #3, Love Me!
