Rule Breakers Fall Hardest by Micalea Smeltzer is now live! 

Once upon a time, Daire Hendricks was my childhood crush. He was always there, saving me from his annoying brothers. He was my rock, my safe place from my overbearing family.

Until he wasn't.

Imagine my annoyance when we end up at the same university and I have to see his smug, too-handsome-for-his-own-good face all over campus.

Every time we cross paths, we spew hateful words at each other, so imagine my surprise when he seeks me out and utters the most surprising question.

"Marry me?"

He needs my help, and his solution is marriage. It's a pretty big ask, but somehow, I find myself saying yes. We might hate each other now, but the benefits of this arrangement are worth it.

But what neither of us expects, is when playing house starts to feel a little too real.

Falling for each other was never part of the plan, but you know what they say about the best laid plans?

They often go awry.

Review

5* read.

This was one of my favourite books by this author for a while. An Enemies to lovers, marriage of convenience, mixed in with a lot of drama from their past. Just how I like it.

This is Daire and Rosie's story. What I loved most about this story was seeing Daire mature and grow as a person. Rosie you fall in love with straight away but Daire takes some time to grow on you. Not in a bad way it's just that Rosie is more together and a really likeable character from the get go. You can't help but be drawn to her. Her and Daire together are fire. Even though they hate each other at first you can tell they don't really, but it just adds to the build up of their relationship.

I'm so excited for the next book after seeing who's it will be from this one.

QUICKSILVER

Book 1 in the Fae & Alchemy Series

Release Date: June 04 2024

Purchase Link: https://amzn.to/4dplG2k

BLURB: 

From USA TODAY Bestselling Author Callie Hart comes a brand new, highly addicting enemies-to-lovers Romantasy with razor-sharp banter, heart-stopping action, and blistering hot romance that you won’t be able to put down!

Do not touch the sword.

Do not turn the key.

Do not open the gate.

In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn’t much a girl wouldn’t do for a glass of water.

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen’s reservoirs for as long as she can remember.

But a secret is like a knot.

Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone.

When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares…but it turns out they’re real, and Saeris has landed herself right in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed.

The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist’s magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him… or her.

Death has a name.

It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate.

His past is murky.

His attitude stinks.

And he’s the only way Saeris is going to make it home.

Be careful of the deals you make, dear child.

The devil is in the details…

N.B. Quicksilver contains depictions of graphic violence/adult situations and is therefore recommended for readers 17+.

Review:

5* read.

I would read anything by this author but I have to admit until a few months ago I didn't read any fantasy books anymore and hadn't for a long time. I think because I read so many when I was younger I just felt that it was a genre I'd grown out of. Then I came across another authors book (Forth Wing) and fell in love and became obsessed with that whole romantasy side again. So when I found out that Callie's next book was going to be a fantasy read I was so excited.

Honestly this book had everything you could want. I instantly fell in love with the main characters, but not only that I fell in love with the supporting characters aswell. It's not very often that I become obsessed with not just the main characters in a book but with this one I did, I loved them all. Kingfisher was the perfect match for Saeris and the emotions they both made me feel while reading this is what i crave for in a book. I do love a good enemies to lovers, the tension and the banter, what more could you want.

The way Callie has built this world and the characters is a real testament to what a brilliant author she is. I need the next book like now please. I can't wait to find out what happens next. I can't say enough good things about this book, just that you need to read it.

Charming Deception by Jaine Diamond is now live! 

A steamy, one bed, fake fiancé standalone romance from Amazon Top 50 bestselling author Jaine Diamond.

When my brother’s best friend proposes we get engaged, I’m a fool to say yes.

It’s a fake engagement, because men like Jameson Vance don’t fall in love with women like me.

He’s a gorgeous billionaire, a marketing genius and a playboy, and he’s only getting engaged to please his family.

I’m an introverted writer, just trying to start my life over, and I’d rather mingle with the rose bushes in his garden than fall in love again.

But when we share a bed, our sizzling chemistry blurs the line between fake and real. And when Jameson turns on the charm, I can’t help melting from his growly whispers of “my wife.”

When he won’t follow through on the explosive tension between us, though, I realize there’s so much more to this fake engagement than meets the eye. Because my fiancé is keeping one hell of a secret from me.

I know I’d be crazy to trust him with my heart.

But by the time I finally feel his searing touch, I know I’m already falling for his charming deception.

Review

5* read.

This is the first book in the new Bayshore Billionaires series and therefore can be read as a standalone, although some characters from other books by this author do pop up.

This is Megan and Jameson's story which blends a lot of different tropes in one (best friends sister, fake fiancé, billionaire, etc). It's quite a slow burn romance (due to Jameson's challenge) but from the start you can literally for the chemistry and sexual tension burning off the pages. It does really build up their connection and story more. I don't usually enjoy slow burn romances but it fitted perfectly for this story and watching Megan grow as a person throughout this book was really fun to read.

I really loved this story and can't wait to find out what challenges his other siblings have to do.

  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.
