I have this weird relationship with Rebecca Yarros's novels. See as an author Rebecca is amazing. Her stories are absolutely beyond compare and her characters are so perfectly real I immediately fall in love with them. But in every single book I break while I read it and by the time I put it down I've been rebuilt with a tiny piece being left behind in the pages. And so, I always need to find “the right time” to read them. But in our house that just never occurs.

 

But for this book, all the stars aligned. My awesome hubby and I had 4 beautiful days, kid free in Bali for my birthday. So, I read this poolside in paradise and fell madly in love with Allie and Hudson. And every other character in this beautiful story.

 

Allie and Hudson had literally everything working against them. And when they are thrown together 10 years after being torn apart all the secrets are forced to light. And I seriously didn't see half of those twists and turns coming. But watching them come through the flames and get a beautiful happily ever after had me putting down my kindle with so much happiness.

This book kept popping up in an obsessive alpha Facebook group I'm in, so I one clicked it. Then I read the blurb and didn't want to pick it up. Then I made the mistake of checking some reviews. When I saw one saying that she ended up with the wrong guy, I assumed that meant not the guy who I had already decided from the blurb that she should obviously be with.

 

Then my little brain decided I would probably be best not to read it. So, I tried to pick a different book to read and literally nothing grabbed me. I thought I would just read this for an hour before bed and if I didn't get into it, I could read something else in the morning. Now I'm here all like what day is it? 

 

I have been in a serious book fog. It's obsessed my brain every second I have had to put it down. I had to keep checking the chapters to see who's point of view we were going to be getting next and if that point of view would still be present towards the end of the book. Because getting three different main characters points of view was awesome. I was so besotted with one of them, I enjoyed another, and I loved to hate the third.

 

Now I'm not going to tell you who was who or anything, but I am going to say that I am so happy I picked this book up. I'm going to one click the next one right now even though I need to adult for a bit. Because yeah, the heroes were both obsessive, one slightly more, hotter, better and just everything than the other. The book was hot. There was no cheating. Everyone and everything was very clear and man was it hot AF.

 

Can't wait to go stalk this author and check out her other books and heroes. Because one of these guys is going to be living in my head rent free for a few days and I could not be happier about it.

KING OF NOTHING

Aurora Rose Reynolds

Release Date: July 29


 

Blurb

I met him when my ship was sinking, and I clung to him through the storm. Little did I know he needed me as much as I needed him.

The first time I saw Roman Dante King, he stuck out like an odd puzzle piece that got mixed up in the wrong box. It wasn’t his blue eyes in the dim light of the bar, the tattoos that covered his arms and hands, or even his arrogant personality. It was something else—something I couldn’t see—that told me he didn’t belong in our small beach town on the Oregon coast.

Elora Mazie Barlow reminded me of a hummingbird zipping from one flower to another, never stopping, never allowing anyone more than a glimpse before she was gone. Never letting anyone in… until me. Then she gave me her smiles that were more valuable than anything I ever owned and wrapped me in her peace without asking for anything in return.

Her tragic story sounded achingly familiar to my own.

Our connection is knotted up in loss. The journey we’re on together will eventually come to an end. But will we be able to untangle the mess of strings that have tied us together?

Will we even want to?

Anyone who knows me, knows that Aurora Rose Reynolds could never write a bad book in my opinion. In fact, I'm pretty sure the lady just has golden words flowing from her finger tips. So, it feels incredibly disloyal to say that story wise, I think this is her best written book to date. It's hard to explain because Until November still has all the stars and will forever be a favourite read of mine but this book feels like it has more depth to the story.

 

The characters were beautiful, don't get me wrong. And I loved them and their journey, but the true beauty of this story was as much their journey as it was them. Whereas earlier books the characters have been the heart, and their journey has been second to them. 

 

Elora and Roman met while each dealing with their own grief in different stages and in different ways. And watching each of them come to terms with that and not only work through it but also grow together at the same time was awesome. There was so much going on that could have worked out in a multitude of ways that I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next and how.

 

Everything worked out beautifully and I fell more in love with each character and I loved it. I laughed, I swooned, I cried, and I smiled through my tears. And although I think from a literary perspective this book shows the authors growth and development, I still think her debut book is my favourite. Sorry not sorry. #AsherForever

BLURB

I only have room for two things in my life: football and my daughter.

At least until my brother's ex-girlfriend shows up at my team's stadium needing a white knight.

When I find out she's also got a secret summer checklist that I'm uniquely qualified for?

I've forgotten all the reasons she should be off limits, and I'm signing up to be more than just her part-time bodyguard.

But when the threats she's receiving escalate and the danger is at our doorstep, we have to decide if more than one summer is worth fighting for—whatever the cost.

I stumbled upon Maggie Rawdon by complete accident and became obsessed. And since I was lucky enough to get in early, I feel like I've watched her writing develop. That said, I am not an analytical reader, I like what I like, and sometimes that's something I wouldn't like a week before. For me getting in early is normally a bad thing because I have to wait for each book to be written rather than just stalking the back catalogue. But I can honestly say in this instance I've noticed the growth and it's lined up beautifully with my reading kinks.

 

This book was soo hot. Like unbelievably need to put it down because I was squirming in public, and hubby was very aware of my issue. Which I wasn't expecting from the blurb. I was kind of worried about the whole brother’s ex thing but honestly I couldn't have cared less once I started reading it.

 

Coop was everything. He was an amazing father and I loved seeing the relationship between Coop and Lizzy along with the snips of co-parenting with Lizzy's mum. And the way Beatrix fit in with them was perfect. But Coop, not the father, was beyond words. He was jealous and possessive and protective and the way he let her set the pace while still pushing her for more.

 

Beatrix was so genuine. She felt her pain, but she didn't let it control her actions. I seriously enjoyed watching her share her story with Coop and being so open and honest about her feelings made her even better.

 

I loved every minute of reading this book and I can't recommend it more. I would just suggest reading it in private with no distractions.

BLURB

Billy’s not my baby daddy, but he doesn’t mind pretending to be…

I’m a Division 1 cheerleader with hopes of becoming a sports broadcaster. None of my plans for college include getting knocked up by a cheating ex who just got engaged to another girl.

When my father finds out I’m pregnant, he goes ballistic. That’s when my BFF, bad boy Billy Babcock, comes to my rescue and agrees to “take responsibility.”

Billy and I solidify our contract on a napkin—he’ll pretend to be my baby’s father, and I’ll help him clean up his image. The only problem is my father, the football coach, hates Billy. He warned me off dating players a long time ago, and he thinks Billy’s the biggest player out there.

Now that we’re in a “relationship,” Billy thinks we should spend some quality naked time together, but I’m worried about crossing that line. Because athletic guys with big muscles, intricate tattoos, and sexy smirks are my biggest weakness, and Billy ticks off all those boxes.

Can my football player “boyfriend” walk the straight and narrow for me?

Or did I just get handed off from one heartbreaker to another?

Heartbreaker Handoff is an angsty, friends-to-lovers, forbidden romance featuring a sassy cheerleader, who’s about to be a single mother, and a criminally charming football player determined to prove he’s the man for her, one sizzling kiss at a time. Heartbreaker Handoff is a dual POV standalone in the USA Today-bestselling series Varsity Dads.

Meet Mila Kane


I'm obsessed with cats, coffee, and anti-heroes just the right side of insane.

I write dark and dirty romance with the alpha-holes of your most filthy nightmares.

While I like my heroes obsessed and powerful, I like my heroines smart and independent. My headstrong, capable women will bring their own personal demons to their knees, and capture their hearts at the same time.

I only write SAFE stories, there is never a place for another woman in my heroes sights, once he's caught the scent of the heroine, and there will always be, no matter how dark and twisted the story might be... a HEA guaranteed.
