Who knew a simple selfie could be a recipe for disaster?
Defensive Hearts by Alley Ciz is now live!
Chance
The day I saw Gemma Steele’s delicious body wearing nothing but a few scraps of lace, I knew being traded was the least of my problems.
Her sexy text may not have been meant for me, but that image is not something a warm-blooded man could ever forget—no matter how badly he wants to. I’ve tried to resist her, but I can’t seem to escape Little Miss Suzy Sunshine. Every interaction is rife with tension and animosity, until it boils over, and we cross the point of no return.
That’s when I know I’m screwed, because now when I look at her, all I think is: Mine.
Who knew a simple selfie could be such a recipe for disaster?
Gemma
The first time I met Chance Jenson, I was into the whole broody-bad-boy thing.
But then he opened his mouth and I quickly realized he’s not just a little moody—he’s the grumpiest jerk to ever lace up a pair of hockey skates. I wasn’t having any part of it. I agreed to cook for his dogs, but promised myself that the only thing he would ever eat are his words.
I spent more than a year doing my best to hate him, but when Chance’s lips land on mine, I feel…conflicted.
I don’t want to want the jackass.
I certainly don’t want to have feelings for him.
Unfortunately for me, my heart seems to have other plans.
What the hell am I going to do?
**DEFENSIVE HEARTS is an enemies-to-lovers romcom filled with hella sexual tension featuring a sunshiny personal chef, a grumpy hockey player who’s jealous his dogs get all her love, and a sexy selfie that pushes this possessive alphahole over the edge. While this hilarious romance stands alone with its HEA, you won’t go wrong catching up with the best girl gang around–The Covenettes–in the rest of the BTU Alumni series.**

Dissolution by Rachel Van Dyken is now live!
A mafia romance about family, loyalty, and love, Dissolution is the powerful conclusion to #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken's Eagle Elite series.
"There is always a beginning—I will be their end."
For ten years the Cosa Nostra has ruled with an iron fist in Chicago—their reign is about to end, and I'll be the one to bring them down.
One more job for the Italian Americans, and I'm done.
Except this "one job" involves saving the boss's brother and sister.
When things go horribly wrong, and a price is put on all of our heads from my Family back home—I'm forced to stay in Chicago, offer not just my gun but my protective services to the young girl I saved while also making sure nobody touches her.
Myself included.
My own Family has splintered.
Half want me dead, half want me alive, and the only people willing to protect me are the very ones I hate—her included.
I'm the Grim Reaper of the Sicilian mafia, and I bow to no one, not even her, so when she asks me to teach her to fight, when she tells me she wants to be made, I give in just so I can piss off the bosses.
Only I made one mistake.
I protect her from the world.
But who protects me from her?
One more battle remains between the families in Italy and in the States.
One more battle where I'm torn between both sides.
And I'm left protecting the one girl who has the potential to wreck us all.
It all started a decade ago at Eagle Elite University—the beginning.
It will end on the streets of Chicago—with me as the end.
I, Santino Sinacore, am their end.
**This may be the end of the OG Eagle Elite, but it is NOT the end of the Eagle Elite World!**
Review
5* read.
This is the 12th and final book in the Eagle Elite Series, although as stated above its not the end of the actual Eagle Elite World (and thank goodness for that).
This series has been my favourite mafia romance series. No one can write mafia like this author, she is the queen of mafia herself. Sometimes with a long continued series it can start to lack depth, or become repetitive. Not with this author, she has a real gift for writing and you never know what to expect next.
Honestly I'm not going to give anything away with this book. You need to just read it yourself. I loved the main character's and loved seeing past characters again in this book and watching them all interact. Katya and Santino have such a deep connection straight away. Katya has been through so much yet her strength just shines throughout the book. And of course their chemistry is electric (even if they are forbidden).
A great end to a epic series. I'm gutted that this series is over, but can't wait to see more from the Eagle Elite World.

What happened that fateful day cannot be held prisoner a second longer...the world needs to know the truth.
Nightmare by Bella Jewel is now live!
Dear Nightmare,
I wish I could introduce myself, and tell you who I really am, but that simply can't be.
You know why, of course.
We all know why.
We've all heard the story; we grew up hearing the story.
The one about you...and him.
Your life was taken from you, and for so many years, you lived as your name describes - a nightmare.
But, that's not really your name, is it?
That's how your club sees you. How the world sees you.
I know who you are.
You say you didn't do it, but you won't talk to anyone.
You won't tell your truth.
Instead, you drown in darkness, letting the world pass you by.
I can't help but wonder why?
I'm nobody, in the big scheme of things, but I do have a purpose.
I want to know the truth.
I want the world to know the truth.
What happened that fateful day cannot be held prisoner a second longer.
I can't tell you that, though, because you'll never talk to me.
You'll never let me in.
You'll push me away like you do everyone else.
You'll sit at that bar, your brown eyes lost and empty, until the last breath leaves your body.
I can't let that happen, you see?
So, I'm going to take a risk. Do something crazy.
I hope you'll forgive me for it, in the end.
Maybe you won't, but I'm going to do it anyway.
I guess I'll talk to you soon.
Love,
Bonnie.
Review
5* read.
This is the first book in a new mc series.
Fair warning before you read this, it does end on a masive cliffhanger. I mean it's a scream and throw your kindle kinda cliffhanger. So if thats not your thing then I'd wait till the next book is out before starting to read this one.
So this is the start of Bonnie and Westerns story. It's full of twists and turns and I was so invested in the story that I didn't realise I was at the end till that cliffhanger stopped me in my tracks. I immediately had to have the rest so I really hope it's not to long of a wait till the next book.
This author just gets better and better, Thankyou for another great read.

Title: Butterflies & Vicious Lies
Series: Fractured Rhymes #1
Author: Kayleigh King
Genre: Contemporary College Romance
Release Date: January 13, 2023
BLURB
I told her my secrets and she told me gilded lies. The words that dripped from her lips like honey were nothing but empty promises.
Her betrayal blindsided me.
Posie had been my constant. My anchor. My calm. Until she wasn’t.
Now she’s my enemy.
Before I could even the score, she fled to the other side of the country where she thought she was safe from my wrath.
She was wrong.
It didn’t matter how far my butterfly flew, I always knew where she was. All I had to do was wait and prepare for her return.
After five years, Posie has flown back into town, and I have her cage waiting.
Review
5* read.
This is the second great book I've read recently and I've definitely been reminded why I love reading. I was completely captured and dragged into this amazing book, I couldn't put it down.
Posie and Raff are the perfect characters for me. The love hate pull mixed with the sexual chemistry and emotional turmoil made for a jam pact read that I wanted to devour yet also savour every last word.
I felt a whole bucket full of different emotions whilst reading this book that I definatly had a book hangover after finishing it. I can't wait for the next book by this author and really hope Pax gets his story. This is a must read for any book lover, but please check the trigger warnings first.

Title: Thorne Princess
Author: L.J. Shen
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Bodyguard Romance
Release Date: January 12, 2023
BLURB
An addictive standalone about a Hollywood princess who is desperate to self-destruct…and the grumpy bodyguard who saves her.
I landed in hot water with the tabloids one too many times.
What can I say? My nipple wanted to come out and say hi to the paparazzi.
After that, my father presented me with an ultimatum—either he cuts off the gravy train and stops paying for my lavish lifestyle or I agree to have a live-in bodyguard.
And by bodyguard, I mean a sexy, formidable, out-of-this-world babysitter who just happens to be good at breaking spines.
Ransom Lockwood, ladies and gentlemen.
Now he is forcing me to try all kinds of weird stuff. Stop partying, clean up my act, get a job…
A part of me wants to tell him to get lost. I’m past saving.
But the other part? The other part wants to save him.
REVIEW
5* read.
This book is a great start to the new year. An addictive read I couldn't put it down.
Hallie and Ransom are thrown together, two characters both broken in their own way and dealing with their own demons. I loved watching both of them grow throughout the book, both seperatly and together. They go through such a roller-coaster of a journey that you feel so many emotions. The hate banter between them was hot, you could feel the sexual chemistry burning off the pages and I really didn't want their story to end.
I already love this author, but I think this is her best work yet. A must read you definatly won't be disappointed.
