WICKED EMPIRE by Tracy Lorraine ~ Review

Book Boyfriend and Husband Make Three

Wicked Empire is a wickedly EPIC conclusion to Stella and Seb’s story. The moment I read the first few words, I knew there was no chance of me doing anything else until I read every word, and that proved to be exactly what happened with no conscious effort on my part. Every word intensified my craving to know how this would play out. I’m glad Lorraine opted to make this a trilogy; I’m as impatient as the next person, but each book and the events that took place, in my opinion, all served a purpose in establishing Seb and Stella’s … Continue reading WICKED EMPIRE by Tracy Lorraine ~ Review

MERCILESS KINGS by Becca Steele and C. Lymari ~ Review

Book Boyfriend and Husband Make Three

Merciless Kings was an absolutely mind-blowing introduction to the Boneyard Kings world, with vengeful alpha-holes, an inquisitive girl, dark secrets, and even darker deeds that have yet to be revealed. Everly’s life had been turned upside down, and as if that wasn’t enough, she was sent to live in the United States with an uncle she barely knew. She was making the best of the situation, and one of the things she was doing was going to the same college her father had gone to. I’m not sure how to describe Everly; she was quiet but not meek, intuitive, and … Continue reading MERCILESS KINGS by Becca Steele and C. Lymari ~ Review

WICKED KNIGHT by Tracy Lorraine ~ Review

Book Boyfriend and Husband Make Three

Wicked Knight is an utterly engrossing start to the Knight’s Ridge Empire series; I was glued to my kindle until I finished every single word. Stella is an American, and after years of moving around the country, her father has decided to make another move, this time to the United Kingdom. She doesn’t expect them to stay long, but she soon discovers that secrets are being kept, lies are being told, and she appears to be the one left in the dark.

CANARY by Tijan ~ Blog Tour

Book Boyfriend and Husband Make Three

Canary had everything I love about mafia books with an added Tijan spin making this a cut above others in this trope. Canary ensnared me in the first pages, and I knew I wouldn’t be participating in real life until I reached the end. Ash is so hard to try and explain, she had so many unique qualities that made her who she was, but she also adapted to change effortlessly, a way to survive in a world where many didn’t make it out alive. It felt like every chapter offered a new depth, and along with that came some … Continue reading CANARY by Tijan ~ Blog Tour

THE DECEIT OF A DEVIL by Holly Renee ~ Review

Book Boyfriend and Husband Make Three

The Deceit of a Devil is the formidable conclusion to Carson and Allie’s story. My heart was in tatters after The Taste of an Enemy and that tortuous cliffhanger, and the only way to heal was The Deceit of a Devil, but before I was healed, I was put through the wringer of angsty feels. Every moment I spend inside The Boys of Clermont Bay world, not only do I become more invested in this addictive series, I become more in awe of Holly Renee’s exquisite story telling ability. Each character’s emotion pulsated through me, every heartbreak, painful word, devastating … Continue reading THE DECEIT OF A DEVIL by Holly Renee ~ Review

THE RETALIATION YOU DELIVER by Tracy Lorraine ~ Review

Book Boyfriend and Husband Make Three

The Retaliation You Deliver, delivers on all fronts, dark and twisty, engrossing from start to finish, an epic conclusion to Leon and Macie’s story. The Retaliation You Deliver picks up hours after The Devastation You Reap left off. Leon and Macie aren’t the people they were in the beginning of their story, devastating secrets have been exposed and malicious actions imploded who they had been, and set their relationship ablaze. In the previous books, Leon Dunn had been more reserved and most likely to get others to laugh, but always with an air of darkness surrounding him. The moment Macie … Continue reading THE RETALIATION YOU DELIVER by Tracy Lorraine ~ Review

THE TASTE OF AN ENEMY ~ Review

Book Boyfriend and Husband Make Three

Yet again, Holly Renee has taken my ability to speak English, along with bits of my soul with The Taste of an Enemy, this was EVERYTHING! I became enamored when my heart was touched by a villain, but that was minor in comparison, one small taste of the enemy, and I was wholly and irrecoverably addicted to the depths of my soul. GAHHHH, Holly Renee weaves an angsty, twisty tale like no one else, heart palpitations were a side effect of the story, from the way the angst hurt my heart to the tension between Allie and Carson, they were … Continue reading THE TASTE OF AN ENEMY ~ Review

CROOKED CROWS by Elena Lawson ~ Review

Book Boyfriend and Husband Make Three

This is my first book by this author, and certainly won’t be the last. Crooked Crows is as captivating as it is dark, and this heroine isn’t looking for Prince Charming, more like 3 devils with varying degrees of darkness to match hers. Ava Jade has made a deal with her only living relative, keep her head down at Briar Hall, stay out of trouble, and graduate. All of these things will set her life down a path she never dreamed she could travel, college. She doesn’t even make it to the school before she catches the attention of the … Continue reading CROOKED CROWS by Elena Lawson ~ Review

SAVAGE by Caitlyn Dare ~ Relview

Book Boyfriend and Husband Make Three

Within the first chapter I was consumed by this new world that Caitlyn Dare has created, and the summer of 2021 turned into a Savage addiction. Sadie is an MC princess, daughter of the Savage Sinners MC’s president. She’s sassy, a “no ‘f’s to give attitude,” and I instantly loved her. Rhett is an alpha-hole. Savage and Sadie had a long history of despising one another, and for years they avoided one another, but that’s no longer an option. Dane is a mix of alpha-hole and charmingly sweet. He’s quick to try and lighten a tense moment, but he also … Continue reading SAVAGE by Caitlyn Dare ~ Relview

DARK QUEEN by Ker Dukey ~ Review

Book Boyfriend and Husband Make Three

This was my first book by Ker Dukey, and I’m so pissed at myself for not reading her books sooner. This is how you do dark mafia romance. There was no shrinking violet pretending to have a steel spine, and there was no prince charming trying to be the bad guy. These characters were exactly as they were portrayed as, and I swear on all the unholy devilish anti-heroes I love, I NEEDED this book. have had quite the streak lately of poorly executed dark mafia romance, and within a few pages of Dark Queen all of my worries that … Continue reading DARK QUEEN by Ker Dukey ~ Review
