Review Release Blitz for Sinful Heir by Michelle Heard

Sinful Heir (The Heirs, #6)Sinful Heir by Michelle Heard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG!!! This is edgy , ruthless, intense, dark, dominant and sizzling! Tristan & Hana's story is so good!!! Sinful Heir by Michelle Heard is deliciously hot and difficult from the other books in the series- which is great! It's dark, twisted, gripping, raw, and brings the feels and chemistry . Also we get to meet new characters and the preview of a new series (YaY). I totally was consumed by SH , Tristian and Hana. There are some twists and turns that take the readers on some heart-stopping moments; the moments between Tristian and Hana as they opened their hearts to each other was so beautiful and just exquisite. There's just one moment in this book that talks what each is to the other and just simplifies this story. You'll know what I'm talking about when you come to that scene. This ended on a beloved ending. Now I can't wait for book 7.

My Rating: 4.8 stars *********

Review Tour for Harley, Stealing Happiness by Danielle Norman

 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐲, 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 is live! This is a friends to lovers, secret romance, stand alone. 



Purchase Harley, Stealing Happiness HERE: https://www.daniellenorman.com/books/harley-stealing-happiness/

Blurb:
I’ve been attracted to one man for years, fellow deputy Aiden McGuire. Our chemistry is off the charts; we argue and banter in front of our friends.

But what no one sees is that I sneak over to his apartment at night and once again our chemistry is off the charts.

I have no clue how long he can keep our secret.

Me? I can keep it forever because I’ve been keeping another one since I was little. My biggest fear is that people discover that I’m not the sharp-tongue, confident, sex kitten that I pretend to be.

When I offer to help my cousin Ridley, the president of the Blood Roses, a vigilante—all ladies MC, my past comes back to haunt me.

Will I be able to keep it all together, my childhood secret, and Aiden, or will my world collapse like a row of dominos, one after the other.

My Review:


Harley, Stealing Happiness is a glorious addition in the Iron Orchids series by Danielle Norman. Book 12 is just as fresh and exciting as if you were starting a new series when this is book 12. Harley is a character that you will root for. She's a motorcycle deputy cop in FL. Her past is filled with pain and heartbreak. So you will understand why she's that tough outer shell, yet her secret inner core is soft. I wanted to hug her. The object of her (secret) affections is Aiden McGuire, whose another motorcycle deputy who works with Harley. They are also FWB  but Harley wants more but thinks Aiden doesn't. The emotional rollercoaster is deep in this book which is so good. That's heartbreak,  drama, passion,  angst,  secrets,  twists,  chemistry,  heat,  feels,  attraction,  love, romance,  family dynamics,  ....Plus there is someone who is possibly stalking Harley. So add in danger, suspense, more secrets and the HEA. Yes! What a fabulous romance read! Looking forward to book 13!

My Review: 

Until Now by Leslie Pike is part of Aurora Rose Reynolds' Happily Ever Alpha World. This is the story of Maxen Ripley and Dominique Grant. I liked how Maxen and Dominique started off as friends and their chemistry just grew from there. They talked, were open and not afraid to admit how they felt; definitely had no problems with letting the connection grow and see where things would blossom 🌸. I enjoyed reading how characters handled real life relationship problems which Maxen and Dominique handled with maturity and grace. The steamy scenes were written really well. Lots of sizzle. Great to see past characters like July, November , Asher and Wes make appearances. This is great addition to the HEA world series.

Cover Reveal for DOIN' A DIME by Lani Lynn Vale

 


Doin’ a Dime

Souls Chapel Revenants MC Book 4

Lani Lynn Vale

Release Date: May 18, 2021




About the Book

Live-in property & pet caretaker needed. Six-year minimum. Background check required. Generous compensation. Marriage of convenience required.


The moment that Wyett Villin read the ad on her local community’s page, she knew that it would be perfect. It didn’t matter how big the house was, what kinds of animals she had to take care of, or what the compensation was. She didn’t give a flip as long as it got her out of her childhood home and away from the person that she despised the most.


Only, she had no clue that by accepting the position, she would be agreeing to watch over the mini-mansion and two large dogs of Hunt McJimpsey, computer hacker extraordinaire, sexy nerd, and convicted felon of Souls Chapel, Texas.


She’d meant to make her life easier, not complicate it more.




***


Hunt McJimpsey was careful. He knew exactly what he was doing and practically planned every single step that he took to make sure that he always had his tracks covered.


But one single mistake costs him five years of his life, and if he’s going to go down for the crime, he might as well make it spectacular.


Three years into his prison sentence, he’s a changed man, and definitely not for the better.


He’s harder, angrier, and even more brilliant and conniving than before he went in.


He thinks that by keeping up with his dogs’ babysitter, his property caretaker, and reluctant wife, that he’s only doing his due diligence as a responsible person. Only, what starts out as curiosity for his property turns into genuine like for the woman that is caring for what means the most to him.


When an opportunity to get out of the hellhole known as prison arises and the only thing he has to do is join a motorcycle club and sign some of his free time away to help those less fortunate, he jumps at the chance.


Not only because he’s ready to get the hell out of prison, but because he’s ready to meet the woman that he’s been falling for, one visit a week, for the last three years.

Blog Tour for Bloody Vows for Lisa Renee Jones


Title: Bloody Vows
Series: Lilah Love #5
Author: Lisa Renee Jones
Release Date: January 26, 2021

ABOUT BLOODY VOWS
The fifth book in the Lilah Love series…

FBI agent Lilah Love leads a complicated life. She's engaged to Kane Mendez, a man most call dangerous, but hey birds of a feather, do flock together. She's dangerous, too, and in ways only Kane understands. As for their happily ever after, well that might have to wait. Right now, an old enemy who should be dead is still living, Junior, her mystery letter writer, is stirring up trouble, and her family is trying to prove they're crazier than her. On top of that she has a new case: a dead woman in a bloody wedding dress. And since Lilah knows all too well there is no such thing as coincidence, clearly someone is sending her yet another message.

BUY BLOODY VOWS

EXCERPT
By the time I’m in the garage at the house, Kane is waiting for me at the door. He studies me with intensity, intensely unreadable. He’s assessing, questioning, but not talking. God love him and his understanding of how I operate. 

I’m in my head. 

I need to stay there right now. 

He backs up to allow me to enter the back hallway and I’m quick to do just that. Once we’re both inside the warm house, I strip off my wet boots and he takes my coat before I follow him to the kitchen. I settle onto a barstool in front of the marbled island, while he prepares, and then hands me a hot Bailey’s coffee with whipped cream. Yes, the dark, dangerous Kane Mendez put whipped cream on my coffee. And still, we haven’t spoken a word. 

He joins me, claiming the spot next to me while I sip my coffee, the warm, sweet liquid sliding down my throat and helping me come down about two notches. 

Ready now, for more than my own mental ping-ponging of thoughts, I grab my phone, thumbing through photos until I find the image of the jar of blood. I set it in front of Kane. 

“That was left for me in the refrigerator of the crime scene.” 

He glances at it and then me, arching his dark brow. “The victim’s blood?” 

“Pig’s blood,” I say matter-of-factly. “That’s not confirmed, but it’s going to be pig’s blood. I know it.” 

He doesn’t freak out but then I don’t expect anything but calm, thoughtful contemplation from Kane. He doesn’t even ask why I make that assessment. He simply asks, “Is this Pocher or a Roger protégé?” 

Just that easily he’s already in my headspace. And the question spoken at just the right time grounds me in logic rather than the emotion that had me storming out of Emma’s kitchen ready to kill Pocher. 

“Logically,” I say, “the dress and the jar could point to either. Of course, my first reaction was Pocher. We just found out he came back. And when I saw that dead woman and then saw the jar of blood, I was ready to kill him.” 

“Andrew influenced that. He already believed it was Pocher when he called you to the scene.” 

“True. And it could be Pocher.” 

“But your gut isn’t reading it that way. I can tell.” 

I sip my coffee and add, “With the dress, and without the jar of blood, this would have read like a classic jealousy crime. The groom was already neglecting the bride and she had a side dude. And yet, it wasn’t a crime of rage. We’re not even sure how the woman died.” 

“Meaning what?” 

“She seemed to have a rupture from her throat, but there was no obvious cut.” 

“Poison?” he asks. 

“The new medical examiner doesn’t think so.” My cellphone rings with Lucas’s number where it still lays between me and Kane. His jaw clenches. 

“I called him to hack for me, and he’s coming to dinner. And before you scowl, he was going to be alone, Kane.” 

He downs his coffee, every last drop, and stands up, his spine stiff. Fuck. I answer the call on speaker. It’s better that way, with Kane’s ear where my ears are right now. “Lucas,” I say, and I don’t warn him that Kane is in the room. If he’s not smart enough to figure that out, he deserves whatever he gets. “What do you have for me?” 

“I pulled Danica and North’s records. I’m sending them in a secure file by maildrop for you to accept. But there’s nothing exceptional there to see. And before you bitch, I’m digging deeper, but that will take time.” 

“What about the victim and the men in her life?” 

“Both her dead husband and her fiancé have donated to various Pocher-driven campaigns. That was easy to pull. Her fiancé has actually donated to your father’s campaign. But Lilah, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in this town who hasn’t pandered to Pocher’s power. And that’s all I have now. I’m drunk. I’m still drinking. No more updates tonight.” 

“Yes, but—” 

“No,” he says, “and I’m hanging up.” He disconnects. 

I grimace and I’d call him back, but I decide better. 

Kane at this point has filled a whiskey glass and is leaning on the counter in front of the sink. I stand up and close the space between us. I step directly in front of him and he downs his drink and sets the glass down. His hands are on the counter behind him. He doesn’t even think about touching me and I know it’s about Lucas. Which is exactly why I want him to know that I’m not thinking about Lucas, but rather those donations that connect Emma’s fiancé to my father. And I’m thinking about his words, his declaration that we’re dangerous to the Society. “What if—” 

He grabs me and pulls me to him. “If you say that woman died because we’re together, and turn this into another reason to take off my ring, I swear to God, Lilah, I’m done.” 

I can be hard. I can be cold. I can apparently be a killer. But I love Kane Mendez. He’s hard, too. He’s cold as ice. He’s forever in control. But he’s not those things with me. And it’s in this moment, for the first time ever, I realize how much I hurt him when I left him. Just how much I cut him. 

“I regret every moment we were apart more than you can know. I’m not taking off the ring, Kane.” My hands settle on his chest. “Not ever. I’m not—” 

His mouth closes down on mine, his hand on the back of my head, and just that easily, he reminds me I’m human again, capable of wanting, loving, needing, and forgetting all but the moment. But more so, he reminds me that he’s human. He isn’t always in control. He has emotions, torment I can taste on his tongue, even desperation he’d allow no other human to know he’s capable of feeling. I’ve pushed him away. I’ve hurt him. But I’ve always loved him and he doesn’t yet know that I’m done fighting against this, against us. 

He just doesn’t know that. 

And that’s a problem. 

Kane picks me up and I don’t fight him. He has this thing about taking me to his bed, now our bed, as if that establishes some sort of ownership of me and us. Not that I could ever be owned, but deep down, I know we own each other. We always have. We always will. And if that’s what he needs, to feel that ownership, I’m not at war with him. I’m at war with Pocher and the Society. But he doesn’t take me upstairs and to the bedroom. He walks to the living room, neutral territory, and I understand his message. The tide has shifted. The demands have changed. Either I’m in this as his equal or I’m not in this at all. And neither is he.

COPPER LINING by Christy Pastore is LIVE!

Add it to your TBR list on Goodreads: http://bit.ly/CopperLiningTBR

Life isn’t all mai tais, coconut cupcakes and the big “O,” but it should be.

I met Wes on a beach in Hawaii. Tall, tan, unruly blond hair and don’t even get me started on that gritty southern accent.

To the locals, he was Wes, “The manta ray whisperer.” To me, he was an infuriating, too young for me surfer dude.

But that didn’t stop me from falling into bed with him.

Being with Wes was thrilling, but he’s all wrong for me. All wrong for my life. After our week was over, I snuck out of his beach house without a goodbye. I was never going to see him again, right?

How wrong I was when I walked into Cardwell Bourbon a few months later to find 
Weston Cardwell and those smoldering green eyes staring at me from across a conference table.

Working together will be a challenge. His family is counting on me to save their bourbon empire.

Wes and I have nothing in common except for our hot for each other chemistry—it’s hotter than the copper lining in a bourbon barrel. 

But that’s the thing about copper, it’s an effective heat conductor—maybe too effective.

My Review:






What a great way to end The Cardwell Family Series on a smooth and perfect end with Copper Lining by Christy Pastore. Book 3 can be read as a standalone but I definitely recommend reading the previous books in the series.
This is the youngest Cardwell book, Weston. He is in Hawaii and ends up meeting and having a week-long fling with this older woman he met named Minka. It was hot and sizzling worthy of the tropical setting. It ended when she left the bed early to go back to her life and after that, Wes didn't want to go back to his player ways. Wes heads home to the family's bourbon distillery which needs help. At around this same time, Wes's older brother Brant contacts Minka and hires her to help save the company too. She make the best cupcakes and recipes but she also has some amazing ideas on how to make Cardwell great again. When Wes sees her, he wants her gone. The story really picks up and the feelings from Hawaii come rushing right back. Does it mean they act on it? No. There are the emotional rollercoaster moments, the chemistry between them is amazing, the pull that brings the feels, the heat, the emotions and the heart. This final book has everything and only the author knows how to tie everything together. The ending was just wonderful.

My Rating: 4.5 stars *********

Cover Reveal for The Rebel by Kendall Ryan



Title: The Rebel

Series: Looing to Score

By Kendall Ryan

Release Day: March 30, 2021





About the Book

Eden’s entire life changed in an instant. After enduring a messy breakup and the death of her grandfather, she’s the new owner of his business, a struggling hockey franchise.


Bad things happen in threes, right?


Not one to back down from a challenge, she jumps in with both stilettos. There’s just one tempting and sinfully handsome problem . . . her new head of security, Holt Rossi.


Eden and Holt share a complicated history, one steamy night in college that she’s never forgotten. The man is about as mild-mannered as a pack of wolves, and now he’s back in her life, crowding her space, edging out all her good sense. And Holt hasn’t changed a bit. The emotionally damaged, sexy-as-hell beast of a man has her tied up in knots yet again.


But temptation proves to be too much for either of them to handle. Holt, for one, is willing to overlook the rules or even slam right through them, if it means he can have Eden again.


Between her ex—a bad-boy hockey player—and her distractingly handsome head of security, Eden is in for a bumpy ride.


Warning: This romance contains one growly, broken hero; a bunch of rowdy hockey players; and a smart, hardworking heroine whose life hasn’t been all sunshine
