I
put down the first book in this series and then read a different college sports
romance and after I put that down, I decided to take advantage of my KU and
binge read the rest of this series. And I’m so glad I did that. Except I read
the blurbs for all the books and each time each future couple is mentioned I am
dying to jump to their book and see how the bit from this book’s perspective
plays out in their book. So many times I had to stop myself from double
checking things and just stay in this story.
Not
that that was hard to do because this book was great. I honestly had no idea
how Sabrina and Aiden were going to work together. And then I read the teaser /
start of this book and I had so many theories and worries and even more
confusion on how these two could work.
Until
I was around chapter three or four, and I loved them together. They were the
perfect mix of opposites attract and being beautiful, similar people at their
hearts who just meshed well together. I didn’t really pick up on the whole
politics thing for Sabrina in book one so I’m not sure if it was introduced in
this story, but it made them seem even more unlikely yet even more perfect.
I
enjoyed these two as a couple. They complimented each other and were both so
protective and possessive it made my little romance loving heart super happy.
And since I’ve already added the next two books to my kindle, and I got the
little bit of future info on Annabelle and Declan I am even more dying to jump
in.
I read a few reviews before I
picked this up and I went into it not sure if I was going to love it or hate
it. Thankfully, I enjoyed it. Yes, it kind of read like a debut novel but the
story was fun and kept me interested. The characters were 18, which made me
feel even older and I can honestly say the comments about them calling in their
parents to help solve the issues were unfounded. I met my husband at 18 so I
understand them meeting and knowing. And we now have kids that age and we are
basically as involved in their lives as these parents were. I think calling in
your parents when shit hits the fan is a normal reaction regardless of your
age, provided you have a good relationship with your parents. Especially when
they have the tools and resources to help you with your problem.
Everything I read that made me question reading
this book was all nitpicking imo. If you're reading new adult romance you have
to accept that they are young and this is a romance. It would be a pretty lame
romance if they met, waited however many years you feel is appropriate for them
to be ready for the commitment and didn't deal with their problems in the most
logical way possible.
The Devil Himself by BB Easton is now
live!
.jpg)
From the Wall
Street Journal bestselling author of 44 Chapters About 4 Men
(inspiration for the hit series Sex/Life on Netflix) comes the highly
anticipated sequel to her dark Irish mafia romance, Devil of Dublin.
Growing up,
I spent every night tucked under my mother’s arm, dreamily listening to tales
from her favorite book series—Legend Has It by Darby Donovan, a collection of
spooky folklore about a town called Glenshire and the lonely, gray-eyed fairy
prince who haunted the woods there. I knew they were just stories, but when my
mother died and left me in the care of my cold, abusive father, that fictional
fairy prince suddenly became very, very real to me. It was as if he was always
there, hiding in the shadows, offering me his silent comfort. I turned him into
an imaginary friend when I needed one most.
And thirteen
years later, I’m doing it again.
When my
coastal Irish town is bombed by the new Russian president, a Bratva leader
seeking revenge on the United Irish Brotherhood, those missiles destroy
everything I’ve ever known—my home, my family, and evidently my sanity—because
when I pull an injured Russian Navy officer out of the sea, a man who led the
charge against my town, I can’t bring myself to let him die.
Secluded
together in my secret hiding spot, we’re safe from the Mafia war raging
outside, but the overwhelming connection I feel to this stranger is a battle I
fight every single day. I hate him with everything that I am, but when he looks
at me with those smoky gray eyes, all I see is my friend. When he touches me,
all I feel is desire. And when he wraps his lips around the sustenance I offer
him, all I want is to feel them pressed against mine, loving me, putting me
back together.
But no one
can live in a fantasy world forever, and when reality finally finds us, the
truth about him is worse than anything I could have imagined.
The man I
rescued is no fairy prince.
He’s the
goddamn Devil himself.

Himself is a continuation of Devil of Dublin and is not intended to

Adriana Locke has revealed the
gorgeous cover for The Invitation!
Releasing: September 23, 2024
Cover Design: Kari March Designs
Photographer: Ren Saliba
I hate
Ripley Brewer.
So, why am I
fake dating him while being trailed by cameras recording our every move?
My best
friend was in a pinch, and she’s the only person in the world I would do
anything for. Helping her by pretending to be in love with a stranger for a few
weeks would net me good karma, a few bucks, and a bit of exposure—all of which
I need desperately right now—to help secure my dream job.
Pretty
straightforward, right?
What could
go wrong?
Ripley. He’s what always goes wrong.
I’m
surprised the producers hired Ripley and me for the reality show after we
realized we would be working together and not with strangers, and we almost
came to blows in the conference room. But they did. Now I’m stuck pretending to
be in love with the biggest, cockiest, most gorgeous billionaire playboy in all
of Tennessee.
I’m even
more shocked at Ripley’s acting skills.
As we settle
into our new roles, it becomes increasingly difficult to separate the real
Ripley from the character he’s portraying. His strong hand nestled in the small
of my back blurs the line between reality and fiction. His dazzling green eyes
and decadent smirk distract me from the man I loathe. I could almost believe
his small acts of kindness—bringing me soup when I was sick and threatening to
dismantle an overbearing ex—were because he was falling for me.
And that I’m
falling for him, too.
This season
of The Invitation began as an enemies-to-lovers (pretend) romance. Can
we possibly finish it with a real-life happy ending?
From USA
Today and Amazon Charts Bestselling author Adriana Locke comes a “sweet and
spicy!” new romance between two people who are forbidden from falling in love
but must share one bed.

covers for Until Then!
Releasing October 16th 2024
Cover Designer: Emily Wittig Designs
I never
thought I’d find myself craving the small-town life, but I’ve grown to hate
L.A. and all that comes with it. When I get canceled after a celebrity
interview goes terribly, I put my life in the City of Angels on hold to move to
Parkerville, Maine temporarily. With my sister and assistant living there it
seems like the most logical place to go. Until my assistant offers for me to
move in with her dad.
Her very
hot, rugged dad.
That may or
may not hate me after I tried to hook my sister up with him, but she ended up
dating his son instead.
Oops.
It was an
honest mistake.
I fully
expect Derrick to tell me to find another place to bum it, but by some miracle
he agrees to let me stay in one of the empty rooms, as long as I do my share,
and help keep the place clean and make some meals.
Easy enough,
right?
Except I
can’t stop thinking about Derrick in ways a twenty-six-year-old woman
definitely shouldn’t be about her forty-four-year-old pseudo-landlord. Who can
blame me when he likes walking around the house shirtless and in gray
sweatpants?
I’m
convinced the feelings are all one way, until I accidentally hear him moaning
my name.

FOREVER STARTS TONIGHT
Karla Sorensen
Release Date: September 27
Blurb:
It’s no
secret that I’ve been in love with Jax Cartwright for half my life. A terrible
decision, really, and not just because he’s my brother’s best friend or he’s
ten years older than me.
Thanks to an
overprotective family, he’s ignored me for years, but still, I can’t get his
grumpy a** out of my head. And in a wine-fueled, post-bad date funk, I make
another terrible decision: show up at his cabin to ask why he’s never given me
a chance.
The storm
that got me stuck there overnight was a total fluke, but I’m no fool. While Jax
is perfectly clear about not wanting a family or love or any of the
happily-ever-afters I’ve dreamed of, what’s the harm in asking for just one
night? The worst thing he can say is no.
He doesn’t
though, and I was saying yes, yes, yes a whole lot after that.
Best.
Decision. Ever.
One night is
enough to feel like I can move on, and we agree to let it be a secret kept safe
between us.
But you know
what makes it hard to keep a one-night secret about my not-so-secret crush?
A positive
pregnancy test.
Oh baby,
things are about to get interesting.

From
USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Michelle Heard comes a
new STANDALONE, full-length MAFIA ROMANCE novel.
I was born
into the Cosa Nostra, so I've always known an arranged marriage loomed in my
future.
When the Capo
dei Capi of the Cosa Nostra comes to Sicily to give his approval for his
cousin, Stefano, to take me as his bride, I know my fate is all but sealed.
Marrying Stefano is the last thing I want, but being a woman, I don't have a
say in the matter.
Damiano
Falco is merciless and rules the Cosa Nostra with an iron fist. Everyone fears
him and won't dare go against him.
I'm still
trying to accept that I'll have no choice but to marry Stefano when Damiano
utters the last word anyone expects to hear.
"No."
He doesn't
give his approval, nor does he offer any explanation.
But if I
think his refusal will set me free, I have another thing coming. Instead, my
bags are packed, and within hours, I find myself sitting on a private jet with
the head of the Costa Nostra.
The ruthless
man doesn't tell me anything, and I have no idea what my future holds.
To say I'm
terrified is the understatement of the century.
