  The Elite Kings Club left a trail of fear behind every person who whispered their names throughout the centuries that they’d existed. They were the product of every nightmare you were told as a child, only now, they don’t go bump in the night. They race modified cars, throw parties to conceal their morbid games, and leave behind the kind of chaos that can never be tamed. They were from an ancient bloodline of the three Founding Fathers, and it was almost time for them to plunge deeper into the depths of hell. Now that they were all on their motherland, and even closer to an island with history as dark as it was ruthless, no one had a say in the carnage of what was to come. And in this case, with War and Halen. Until now, they were nothing but exactly as they appeared on the outside. He was a brother’s best friend, and a boy Halen had never not known. She was the daughter of one of the most feared families known to man, and the only girl who ever kindled his rage. They’d push and pull until it tore them apart…if only to feel the shell of their bodies close. Halen knew crossing that line with him was dangerous ground, yet she yielded her weapon and did it anyway. But history was being challenged, and The Kings were about to learn that not all enemies are discovered on a battlefield. Some are the ghosts of what was left behind.
      
  Review
4.5* read.
I'm obsessed with this author. Her work is pure gold dust and I always know that I won't be able to put the book down till I've read every last page. Also if you don't know this author then her name itself is usually a warning for what your about to read. Very very dark, gritty, and angst filled. 
I loved War and Halen and their relationship, the push and pull between them, but also the interactions with the other characters. The toxic angst between them added to the fire and passion. The reason it lost half a mark was because at times it felt slightly rushed, there was a bit to much going on that I got a bit confused and had to re read it. That been said the characters (all of them) made this book a great read and I really enjoyed going back into this world.
I do want to end this review by saying I really loved this book. But just because I personally loved it doesn't mean everyone will, everyone is different. It also doesn't mean I'm going to call anyone for not liking it or that I'm a liar for writing a 4.5 star review (as I've seen other people on here call readers). Personally for me it was worth these stars, but I actually found myself not wanting to put that incase I was called a liar (like others have been called). Readers shouldn't be made to feel wrong for been honest (good or bad). And whether I got a arc or not I will never just write high stars unless I felt it deserved it. So maybe think before you call everyone liars.
Rant over, I can't wait for the next book in this series.


About the Author:   Amo Jones is a USA Today & Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, totally winging this author thing (she's probably doing it all wrong). She likes cake, loves wine, and her religion is magic (Slytherin). She's a profound work-a-holic, but when she's not writing, you can find her chilling with her kids & Husband at the nearest beach, with a cocktail in her hand. New Zealand is not a state of Australia and rugby is the best sport ever played.

Review

5* read.
I really do enjoy reading this authors work. I know before I even pick up the book that I'm going to fall in love with characters and connect with them in a way that I get dragged into their story. That's just how much of a brilliant writer Melanie is.
This has a mix of enemies to lovers, small town romance, marriage of convenience (all the things I love in one book). Lexi is desperately trying to hold onto her family's ski resort (even though her Gran wants to sell it), and Devlin is working for the company that's trying to buy it. Lexi and Devlin first meet without knowing who the other one is. The connection and chemistry between them is instant, and their banter really makes you belly laugh.
Another great addition to this series, I really enjoyed getting Lexi and Devlin's story. I'm so excited for the next book in this series.

Blurb:

One night would never be enough...


I ducked into a bar on a stormy night and met a smoldering, enigmatic stranger with the body of an athlete and eyes like a wolf on the prowl.

He was gorgeous, he said all the right things, and he gave me the hottest night of my life.

And a fake name.


The next day, I died of humiliation when I found out who he really was.


Shane Madrigal.

Underground fighter. Mercurial, mysterious bachelor.

And now, my arch enemy.

Because my mom just got engaged to his dad.

And he seduced me just to screw with me.


The next time I see him, his wolfish gaze is dripping with animosity.

I’ll have to endure him at all the formal events leading up to the wedding.

Mom even wants him to walk me down the aisle.

And I won’t let our secret war ruin the wedding of Mom’s dreams.

I’m ready to call a truce in desperation.

But when my enemy flirts with me, I’m confused.

I know he’s just messing with my head. Because he hates me, right?


I thought he did.

But the way he’s looking at me now is telling a different story.

And it’s making me question everything that’s ever happened between us… starting with that night in the storm.


Review


5* read. I've been really looking forward to Shane's story after seeing glimpses of him in past books. He had the whole jerky lonesome bad boy vibe which I just fell in love with. I had to have his story and find out who the girl was going yo be who could break into his walls. That girl is Jolie. Jolie was the perfect match for Shane. She didn't take any cr** from him and really give him a run for his money with the banter and jibes she gave back. Their chemistry from the first time they meet (even though she looks a complete mess) was fire, and that follows throughout the book. I also loved seeing glimpses of past characters again from other books/series, and watching them interact with these two. Another well wrote book by one of my new favourite authors, I can't wait for the next book and to see what we get next.

Blurb:

From the moment she fell out of the tree in his backyard, ruining his eighth birthday party, Genesis Stoll had been Kye Levine’s best friend. The one person he knew would be there no matter what. She was his escape, his sunshine when the darkness in his world got too deep. When he had her to run to, he knew no matter how twisted his life got, she would remind him who he was. He would never lose himself. She wouldn’t let him.

 

Genesis had loved Kye most of their life; in a way, she knew Kye didn’t reciprocate. If she ever told him, it would likely destroy their friendship, and she wasn’t willing to take that chance. Besides, Kye would never fall in love and be in a relationship. He was a wild, free spirit.

 

When an old boyfriend with a past intertwined with both Genesis and Kye walks back into her life, she feels things for him—believing that he could be the man to give her a family, love, and security. All the things she knew Kye never would.

 

Just as things begin to fall into place for Genesis and the new man in her life, Kye walks in her door with a baby. One he didn’t know existed. One that’s mother had dropped him off like unwanted baggage. A baby boy that belonged to Kye.




Review

4.5* read.

I'm literally obsessed with this series. I know once I start that I won't be able to put it down, nor do I want to be disturbed while I'm reading it.

Genesis and Kye are destined to be since they first meet when they're kids. It's a shame Kye didn't pull his head out of his a** sooner, but then I guess if he did then he wouldn't have Jagger.
I don't usually enjoy reading love triangles or anything like that, so if I had to change one thing it would be how much of the book Bowie actually took up. That been said you could see why it had to be like that, and also where the story was going to. I was just so desperate for Genesis and Kye to be together that I was impatient regarding Bowies involved. You could feel the chemistry between them even when they weren't together so you just wanted to give them both a shake.
You didn't get to see as much of the rest of the characters from past books in this one, or Kye's "family" as they're known, but the glimpses we did see I loved. There also isn't as much of the mafia side seen in general, again that's not a bad thing at all, it's just slightly different to past books.
I can't wait for Scorched, Fawn and Garretts book, and to actually see how they end up together. Roll on next month.

She's a country music star trying to escape the spotlight. He's the scorching hot bodyguard she doesn't want on her vacation. And there's only one bed. 

 

Hideaway Heart by Melanie Harlow is now live! 

 

All I wanted was a break—two weeks off from being Pixie Hart, country music sensation, and fourteen days of peace, privacy, and solitude as plain old Kelly Jo Sullivan.

But thanks to some overzealous paparazzi, my family refuses to let me go anywhere alone, and I’m stuck sharing this tiny cabin with a tall, dark, and bearded bodyguard.

And guess what? There’s only one bed.

Well, he can couch it.

Xander Buckley might be hotter than a stolen blow torch, and I get that he’s a former Navy SEAL and all, but the man gives new meaning to the words overbearing, overprotective, bossy alpha male. I can’t even post a photo on social media without him warning me it’s not safe, or take a morning jog without him following behind.

But he’s made it clear that what he says goes, and if I don’t like it, I can kiss my vacation goodbye.

Instead, I end up kissing him.

I don’t even know how it happened—one minute we were at each other’s throats, the next we were at each other’s mercy. What’s even more shocking is how good we are together. He understands my need for freedom, and I understand his need for control.

But emotional trust doesn’t come easily to me. And we’re on two completely different paths.

Without question, I’d put my life in his hands.

Just don’t ask me to give him my heart.

 


 

Review

5* read.

I love this author, and I love this book. Kelly and Xander are the perfect match and their chemistry made for a swoon worthy read.

I haven't actually read a bodyguard romance for a long time so I really enjoyed getting stuck into a completly different genre to what I've been reading recently. I love a couple who can have good banter with each other, and Kelly and Xander have this great banter that just makes you laugh out loud on numerous occasions.

A great small town romance read. I can't wait for the next book by this amazing author.

TEMPTING LITTLE THIEF

Meagan Brandy

Release Date: June 1

    
 From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Meagan Brandy comes a steamy forbidden romance featuring a possessive hero … who falls first and will stop at nothing to get what he wants.   Bastian Bishop. That’s his name. He’s rough, rugged, and utterly unpredictable. He’s not cautious or contemplative. He’s a volcano. Silent and steady one second, and a nightmare in the next.   But that’s not the worst of it. This guy? He’s an outsider and in my world outsiders don’t belong. They’re unwanted, unwelcome and known to disappear without a trace; yet he doesn’t seem to care.   After one night of reckless rebellion, the tattooed tyrant keeps coming back, sneaking into my world without permission, and causing trouble I can’t allow.   I should end this now before my father discovers his existence and does it for me, but he won’t allow it.   He says, like it or not … I am his now, that nothing and no one will stand in his way.   What he refuses to understand is I’m a Girl of Greyson, a coveted queen of sorts in the underground crime world. He’s a nobody, an insignificant man with nothing to his name, marking him a threat to my own.   We could never be, but he won’t hear it. And me? I know exactly how this ends.   Or so I thought I did, until betrayal burns so deep that suddenly nothing makes sense.   Nothing but him…  


Review


5* read.

I feel like I've been waiting for this book for forever and I was so excited to finally get Bastians story. Rocklin was the perfect match for him, their dynamic and banter was addictive to read and their chemistry was off the charts hot.

This was a real roller-coaster read and had me guessing throughout. Can't wait for the next book by this amazing author.

Blushing in the Big Leagues by R.S. Grey is now live!

I have one simple rule: don’t date professional baseball players. There are no exceptions, no workarounds.

“What if—”

No.

“Could he—”

Nuh-uh.

With a brother in the league, I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the downright horrifying. Those guys might seem tantalizing when they’re in uniform down on the field, hitting grand slams in front of a crowd of adoring fans, but I know better. The huge egos? The insane travel schedules? The veritable buffet of female companions? No ma’am. Professional athletes are best handled at a distance, preferably far enough away that their chiseled jawlines blur into oblivion.

Enter Grant Navarro.

He’s the baseball player to end all baseball players. The one I should have marked with a big red X the first moment I laid eyes on him. Only the night we met (and kissed—oops), I didn’t know he was my brother’s newest teammate. Imagine my shock when I realized the sexiest man in Manhattan was officially off limits. Just my luck!

Let the record show that I had every intention of following my rule and staying away from Grant. When he smiled that irresistible smile and those dimples popped, I stood my ground. When he made it very clear he’d love to pick up where we left off the night we met, I said, Hold it right there, partner. When he messaged me all sorts of naughty things on Instagram, I logged out of that app so fast I dented my iPhone screen.

Baseball players are bad, bad, bad.

So tell me why giving in to Grant just for a night, getting one taste of what could be starts to seem not just tempting, but downright mandatory.

Yeah, about that one simple rule…haven’t you heard?

Rules are meant to be broken.

Review

4* read.

A slow burn sports romance with connectable likeable characters. This is Tate and Grant's story. Whilst this can be read as a standalone, their story does interconnect with the  Three Strike and You're Mine book, which I do recommend reading first to enjoy this book more.

Tate Allen is a nurse in a a Children's Hospital. She is sister to baseball star Luke Allen and has seen everything there is to be seen where baseball players are concerned. That's why she has the no dating any baseball players rule. When Tate approaches Grant at a party he ticks all her boxes, but she has no idea he's her brothers newest teammate. I loved Tates stubbornness and the back and forth between her and Grant.

Another great rom-com by this brilliant author, can't wait for the next.
