The Bad Guy by Celia Aaron My rating: 4 of 5 stars An easy and enjoyable read This was my first read by this author. Often I struggle with standalone books after getting so used to the character/story development afforded by a series, but this book did it well. There wasn’t an exorbitant amount of […]

The Benefits of Bad Decisions by Lisa Suzanne My rating: 5 of 5 stars Holy wow- I did NOT see that twist coming. And let me tell you- I ALWAYS see them coming. So bravo, Lisa Suzanne- you got me!This was my first read from this author, but I definitely see myself reading the other […]
Dirty Headlines
Dirty Headlines by L.J. Shen My rating: 5 of 5 stars Loved! I had this book on my reading to-do list for a while, but I just got to it this week. And boy, am I glad I did. I loved this story. Celian is so deliciously jerky, and my heart just eats it right […]
Bennett Mafia
Bennett Mafia by Tijan My rating: 5 of 5 stars Sexy and suspenseful This was my first Tijan read, and I was pleasantly surprised. I loved the family aspect with the multiple siblings, especially since several were brothers. A handful of hot mafia brothers? Nothing wrong with that!I loved the suspenseful component, and loved that […]
Matteo: A Dark Mafia Hate Story
Matteo: A Dark Mafia Hate Story by Ginger Talbot My rating: 4 of 5 stars A hard read Wow- this was a hard one to finish. Part of the way through I was already composing my angry incredulous review in my head. I was tempted to quit, honestly. But I stuck it out until the […]
Broken
Broken by W. Winters My rating: 4 of 5 stars Dark and suspenseful I was torn between four and five stars. While I thought this book was great, it was not quite as great as her book Merciless, one of my short list of five-star reads. I’m tough with my five-star reviews, but I imagine […]
Beautiful Mistakes
Beautiful Mistakes by Sam Mariano My rating: 5 of 5 stars Always a winner This was it. My final unread novel by Sam Mariano. And now a darkness has descended upon me. I have no more Sam Mariano books to look forward to until she releases a new one. I can scarcely find the will […]
Twisted
Twisted by Natasha Knight My rating: 3 of 5 stars Not my favorite I wanted to love this. I really did. But I didn’t.I was happy to find it to be less violent than the first part of this series. I nearly didn’t read this book because of how violent and abusive the first two […]
Stitches
Stitches by Sam Mariano My rating: 5 of 5 stars I bow to Queen Sam She did it. She did it again. I don’t even LIKE menage stories, but I read this because… because Sam Mariano wrote it. And you know what? It’s EXCELLENT.In my head I still don’t understand the menage scenario, but this? […]
Sparrow
Sparrow by L.J. Shen My rating: 5 of 5 stars Loved This is my third book read by this author, and each has been better than the last! She did an excellent job of making me dislike Troy in the beginning of the story. I REALLY disliked him. I felt terrible for Sparrow/Red for the […]
