Sever by Caitlyn Dare {excerpt}

The time has come to say farewell to Sadie Ray, Wes, Rhett, Dane, and the Savage Falls Sinners group. It's been a wild ride full of adventure, love, discoveries, and there has been a lot of steamy moments.

Curious how this story is going to wrap up? I know I am! So be like me, and go pre-order Sever! 

If you have no clue what I am talking about when it comes to this book series, go read Savage! That is the first book in the series, and you need to start there as this is an ongoing story.

Sever is releasing on October 28, 2021!

Loving one guy is hard.

Loving three… well, it should be more than a girl like Sadie Ray Dalton can handle.

But Sadie knows where she belongs, and it’s right beside her guys.

Life in Savage Falls is finally calming down. Dane is preparing to step up and take over the Red Ridge Sinners, Rhett is accepting an unconventional life with his princess, and Wes is adapting to his new role within the club.

But another enemy is circling—one who’s closer than they realize.

One who won’t stop until the Sinners MC are on their knees.

Sadie and her guys all want their happily-ever-after, but they should know by now, nothing in life comes easy.

One last time, they’re going to have to fight for it.

And hope everyone makes it out alive.

This is a why choose novel, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. It is book four in the series and must be read after SAVAGE, SACRIFICE, and SACRED. It contains mature content that some readers may find distressing.

Excerpt

“Shit, babe, we’re sorry, okay? We didn’t know how it would go down, we only knew—”

“It doesn’t matter.” I shake my head, feeling tears burn the backs of my eyes. “What’s done is done.”

“You don’t need to do this,” he says, taking another step toward me. “We can kiss and make up and everything—”

“If you say everything will be okay, I swear to god I’ll kick you in the balls.”

“Feisty.” He chuckles, and Wes and Rhett snort.

“This isn’t funny. I’m trying to be serious and you’re—”

“You’re prancing around in those itty-bitty panties, sucking on your fingers like a porn star and you expect us to take you seriously?” Rhett stands, folding his arms over his chest. “I hate to tell you, princess, but you’ve got nobody fooled.”

“I hate you.” The words spill from lips before I can stop them.

“But you love the way my cock feels buried deep inside of you.” He stalks toward me, slow, sure steps like a predator stalking its prey.

“Stay the hell back, Savage.”

“Or what? You’ll kick me in the balls?” His lips twist with amusement. “Didn’t you get the memo, baby. I like a little pain, and if it means I get in your pussy, bring. It. On.”

“There’s something very wrong with you.” I shake my head, all too aware that he’s destroying my resolve.

Rhett reaches me, snatching the jar of chocolate spread from my hand. Shoving his finger inside, he scoops out a big dollop and pushes it toward my lips. “Suck.”

“Fuck you.”

“That’s the plan, princess. Went over forty-eight hours without being inside you, don’t plan on waiting another hour.”

“Oh yeah?” My brow lifts as I brace the back of the counter. With a big push, I leap down and take off toward the bedroom. “Guess you’ll have to catch me first.”

“Fucking crazy bitch,” I hear Rhett mutter as Dane and Wes explode with laughter.

We all know how this ends, and deep down, I want it. I want them.

But I have no objections to making them work for it first. After all, they need to remember that I’m their queen.

And it’s time they get on their knees and beg for my forgiveness.

Red Sin by Aleatha Romig {a review}

From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a brand-new romantic-suspense novel in the world of high finance, where success is sweet and revenge is sweeter. Red Sin is the first book in the Sin Series, and it has captivated me. Red is the color of blood, sacrifice, danger, and courage. It’s also associated with heat, passion, and sexuality. When two people meet unexpectedly with an inexplicable attraction that defies common understanding...it can be called RED SIN. Reader friends, I think you'll enjoy this one.

In Red Sin we pick up where we left off. Julia is about to meet the person who she is interviewing with, and she is hoping she'll get the job. That is until the man turns around, and suddenly she is face to face with the man from the cabin. The man who took care of her. The man who she gave herself to. The man that she cannot stop thinking about. Donovan (Van) is just as surprised as Julia. Yes, he had wondered if there was a chance that Julia was interviewing to write his story, but he wasn't 100% certain. From this point on so much happens. Van looks into the family business, discovers a few things, and is determined to help. Meanwhile Julia is discovering quite a bit about herself, her family, her family business, and the man she is falling for. Together these two are also finding a new routine, and are growing closer.

My recap of this book doesn't even do it justice. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that I didn't want to give any spoilers, and so I had to censor myself on the recap. Honestly though, I am captivated by this story. The prequel was a nice, easy read with plenty of steamy moments. This full length novel though, it has the steamy moments, it has the passion, it has the curiosity being built around Van, and you start to have doubts about side characters pop up in your head. Or maybe that's just me. I have so many questions about Van, and I am hoping more will be revealed about him as the story continues in future books. I really enjoyed how Julia's confidence built with Van by her side. She was able to speak to her parents, and Skylar, openly and honestly. She held nothing back. And when that conversation was over, she wasn't beating herself up about it. She was confident, strong, and determined. It was amazing. I also liked how she pushed Van to open up a bit about who he is, and things from his past. I am so ready for Green Envy to be released. Is it January 18 yet? I need to know what happens next after what Van revealed. What happens next for Julia and Van? How about Wade Pharmaceuticals? What is going on with the Butlers? I have my eye on Mrs McGrath also, and my spidey sense is tingling.

Reader friends, you need to go read Red Sin. Donovan is the big bad wolf, and Julia would be our little red riding hood. It's so good. SO GOOD!

Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts on Red Sin. As I said above, I am beyond ready for Green Envy!

Laura

Red is the color of blood, sacrifice, danger, and courage. It’s also associated with heat, passion, and sexuality. When two people meet unexpectedly with an inexplicable attraction that defies common understanding...it can be called RED SIN.

Julia and Van found one another in a shaken snow globe. Stranded in a blizzard, they embraced being two individuals with no last names. The plan was to walk away from each other with no regrets—until that plan changed.

Julia’s life was delivered a staggering blow the day she discovered her fiancé’s infidelity. The night she met a handsome stranger, one who showed her the possibility of a life filled with more than the fulfillment of expectations, she took a chance.

When it comes to business, Donovan Sherman is a wolf—a bloodthirsty carnivore who leaves wounded prey and victims in his wake. He learned from the best, his onetime nemesis and now-mentor, Lennox Demetri, who showed him that opportunities are only ripe for those willing to risk it all, a lesson Donovan took to heart.

With Julia McGrath, Donovan must decide if this beautiful woman who showed him the meaning of red sin will fall victim as his prey or if after experiencing the unbridled passion, there is more that he wants.

The Hustler by Gina Azzi {cover reveal}

 

 Release Date: January 6

Theodore Edward Sims was supposed to be my hot summer hook-up, a stranger I slept with in Hawaii. Now, he’s my stepbrother’s new hockey teammate. 

When we met, Theo was a sexy surfer in Maui, riding waves by day and rocking my world at night. After being played for a fool by my ex-fiancé, Theo proved to be a source of instant gratification.

  

He was refreshingly honest, engaging, and incredibly charming. Theo built me up when it felt like my world was crumbling down.

Turns out, he’s just like my ex. A liar.

To avoid the media scandal of my failed engagement, I hightail it to Boston, where I’m forced to cross paths with a new version of Theo, aka Eddie Sims, Boston Hawks right wing. Here, he isn’t the well-connected, alluring surfer but a determined, angry hockey hunk with something to prove. Especially to me.

Except I’ve written him off. Once a liar, always a liar.

But Theo isn’t backing down. Instead, he’s hustling for my forgiveness.

If I give him another chance, will he live up to his apologies? Or am I just lying to myself?

Violent Attraction by Jocelyne Soto {a review}

 

At the end of August, I had read a book called Vicious Union. It was the first book in a new series, and I loved just about every moment of that book. As that book was wrapping up, the stage was being set for Violent Attraction, and my curiosity was piqued. After all, I LOVE the brother's best friend trope, so I just had a feeling that this was going to be a good book. I just had to wait until October 19 for it to be released. Ahh bookworm problems.

I did receive an advanced readers copy (arc) of Violent Attraction, and friends, it lived up to the hype in my head. Santos and Isabella are simply wonderful.

So what happens in this book? Well for starters we begin at the wedding. After what happens there, we go back in time to when Isabella was 12. From that point on, we see how the relationship between Isabella and Santos begins to evolve. We also learn that Leo has pretty much told Santos to leave his sister alone.  Their relationship keeps progressing, and suddenly we are back at Isabella's wedding day where we see that initial scene play out. We also see the aftermath of that, and how it goes on to change their relationship once again. Knowing what has happened in the past, knowing how she has been hurt, can Isabella take another chance on Santos? Can these two ever find their way to their happily ever after? Or will her father always stand in their way?

Can we take a moment to ogle that gorgeous cover? The design was done by Books and Moods PR, and I think it is absolutely fabulous. It fits right along with the cover from Vicious Union, and it has me anticipating the cover for Vindictive Blood. So let's talk about the book. I still love the main characters, and I still strongly dislike Ronaldo, as well as Emilio. I get why Ronaldo set up the arranged marriage for his eldest daughter, but it still gutted me since she was so distraught.  Witnessing Santos go through the grieving process, and his desire to find the person responsible, tugged at my heartstrings, and brought on the emotions. Seeing how Santos and Isabella had to really fight for this relationship, and figure out ways to make it possible, showed how much they truly wanted this. Then there was Leo and Santos trying to find a way for Isabella to not have to go through with the wedding to Emilio, and it took a lot of effort to get to the point that they were. I just loved this story. From start to finish I could not get enough. Then Jocelyne had to go and set the stage for Vindictive Blood, and oh my word. I am so ready for Camilla's story, and to find out about that bombshell that was dropped! Is it November 23 yet?

I truly hope that you will read the Flor de Muertos series by Jocelyne Soto. While each story follows a different couple, I do recommend that you read them in order. It will give a better understanding of the characters and the situations that they find themselves in. Highly recommend this series, and cannot wait to read more from Jocelyne Soto.

Thank you for stopping by to read my thoughts. I greatly appreciate it.

Laura

She was a Cart​​el Princess. 

I was a soldier. A helping hand. A life that didn’t matter. 

 

None of that stopped me from falling in love with her the first time I laid eyes on her. 

This Cartel Princess was everything to me. 

And I was able to show her, but only in secret.

After years of hiding I had finally found the courage to tell her father, but he announced he’d arranged a marriage for her. One that will bound families. 

One that is all about power and money.

The man that she is set to marry is a dangerous man. He doesn’t love her. He only wants her for the money and power that she comes with. 

I need to try my hardest to stop this arrangement. 

No matter how much blood I shed. 

Isabella Morales is mine.

Hold Me Now by JH Croix {a review}

 

A brand new firefighter series from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix! Hold Me Now is Paisley and Russell's story, and if you enjoy a workplace romance featuring the frenemies to lovers trope, then this is a must read for you! Or if you enjoy a good slow burn, then go for it.

If you read Wild With You, then you may recall Paisley and Russell. Russell has been a hot shot for a while now, and Paisley is just starting with the crew. Not to say she doesn't have experience, because she does, it's just back in Washington state. You may also recall that Russell isn't too keen on having Paisley on the crew. He can't explain it, it just isn't something he wants. Paisley isn't his biggest fan either. Paisley recently found out that she needs to find a new place to live, and vacancies in the town are hard to come by. So when she hears of a great place, she jumps on it. All she knows is that she'll have the upstairs, her housemate will have their area, and they'll share the kitchen. It isn't until she moves in that Paisley finds out that she's living with Russell. One thing leads to another, and these two come to realize they don't actually dislike each other. Oh no. It's all passion. But a person from Paisley's past may change their chance for romance.

I knew, I just KNEW, that Paisley and Russell's story was going to be intense. I also knew it was going to be one heck of a slow burn. And Hold Me Now did NOT disappoint. Between the forced proximity, the denial, the hate to love, I was just a sucker for this story. Add in that little bit of romantic suspense, and I was all in. Paisley and Russell created some major sparks, and oh the steamy moments that occurred. Aside from the romance, there was also family stuff that both characters had to deal with. For Russell it was about his dad, and how he died. (That pulled on my heartstrings big time.) Then for Paisley, that was just a wild ride. I can't even really talk about it because spoilers. But just know, how that storyline played out, was so good. SO GOOD. I loved the hate to love. I loved the frenemies to lovers. I loved the slow burn. I fell hard for these characters (main and side). And that setting? FREAKING GORGEOUS! Also, that setup for the third book in the series? It sounds so good! Second chance romance is a favorite of mine, so bring it on J.H. Croix. BRING IT ON!

It's a firefighter romance, set in Alaska. Do I need to say more? Go read it. Go fall for the setting, and the characters. Just trust me on this.

Thanks for reading my thoughts,

Laura

He’s my new roommate.

I can’t stand him, and he can’t stand me.

Russell Dane thinks he’s all that. Maybe’s he’s so hot he should come with a too-hot-to-handle sign, but he drives me crazy. Not the good kind of crazy either.

He thinks women shouldn’t be firefighters, he’s obnoxiously overprotective, and I can’t stand him. Unfortunately, my body is not getting the memo, but I’m stronger than a few confused hormones. Right?

It wouldn’t be so bad if we didn’t have to work together, and if he wasn’t my boss. It definitely wouldn’t be so bad if he hadn’t gone and kissed me.

Russell & Paisley’s story is perfect for readers who love small town romance, hotshot firefighters, sassy tomboy heroines, roommate romance, frenemies to lovers, hate to love, slow burn, emotional romance with a dash of angst, plenty of steam and swoon, and a broody, protective hero.
