Release Blitz: A Dirty Business by Tijan

A Dirty Business by Tijan is now live!

When Jess Montell meets Trace West at a hockey game, she doesn't know his name or occupation. What she does know is there's an instant attraction that's impossible to ignore--or forget. And forgetting is exactly what she wants to do when she learns he's not just a successful Wall Street suit but the heir to one of New York's biggest Mafia families.

The last thing Trace needs is a romantic anything with law enforcement, and parole officer Jess has trouble written all over her. Too bad he likes trouble. Especially when it's a brunette bombshell with attitude and legs for days.

She's an absolute spitfire, and he wants to stoke that flame.
Trace didn't ask for the Mafia life. Jess doesn't want any part of it. They both know it's safer to stay away, but the temptation is too hard to resist—no matter how great the danger.

A Dirty Business by Tijan

A Dirty Business (Kings of New York #1)A Dirty Business is the first book in the Kings of New York series by Tijan and I enjoyed every moment of Trace and Jess' whirlwind romance. I had never read a book by this author before and was pleasantly surprised by the slow burn romance and suspense that unfolded. The story was engaging due to the many unexpected twists and betrayals. Every character played an important role to the story, no matter how insignificant they were. In addition, the longing and angst between these two was beautifully written and refreshing, especially considering that Trace was the one chasing Jess while she resisted him. There were also many barriers to their relationship because of their profession—Jess was a parole officer while Trace was the heir to his mafia family. Despite their differences and internal conflicts they had with each other, I loved their stolen moments together because they simply existed as themselves instead of what others expected them to be.
"I realized tonight that when you chose me, it made me want to choose you back."
Although Jess was portrayed as this stubborn, resilient, and strong female character, she was also incredibly vulnerable to the brokenness of her own family. The constant verbal abuse from her mother was difficult to read but made her relatable. Jess wasn't perfect but she had her own sense of moral justice and this often clashed with her feelings for Trace. I enjoyed their push and pull dynamic, especially since Jess was to the type to run away from her feelings while Trace would pursue her relentlessly. I enjoyed both characters and rooted for their happy ending. Trace had similar struggles with his own family who wanted him to take over the family business or dead. He was living between worlds—one that was legitimate and the other illegal, and would have to make a choice sooner or later. Meeting Jess changed everything because it made him question his identity and future as head of the West family.
"I'll never stop worrying about you. It's what you do when you love someone."
In the end, Trace and Jess' story was a fantastic introduction to the series and it ends with a cliffhanger that will leave readers questioning everything. I was completely surprised by the ending and I look forward to seeing whether or not Tijan will continue this story. In addition to our main couple, I was also interested in Ashton and Molly's potential story. Ashton is Trace's best friend and business partner who also happens to be the heir to his own mafia family. On the other hand, Molly is Jess' friend and owner of the bowling alley that she often goes to. These two have an interesting relationship and I can't wait to read their story in the future. Fans of the slow burn and mafia romance with suspenseful elements will absolutely enjoy this book because it features a devoted and obsessed hero who persistently chases his stubborn and independent heroine.

I have a secret. I’m not who you think.

In this world, where gowns, castles, and crowns make for the perfect reflections, life isn’t always as it appears. Love is elusive, even when the most beautiful woman is right before you. Illusions distort visions, shadows lurk in the sunshine, and monsters tread behind smiles and chivalrous facades.

I, Roman Archibald Godfrey, swore an oath to Molave.
To the king.
And above all, to Princess Lucille.

Forget the fairytales you’ve heard. This world is ruthless.

Ruthless Reign by Aleatha Romig

Ruthless Reign (Royal Reflections #1)Aleatha Romig returns with a brand new series focusing the secretive and dangerous lives of royalty in Ruthless Reign where the line between what is real and not real are blurred. The relationship between Lucille and Roman is both complicated and twisted. As the princess and crown prince of Molave, much was at stake but their marriage is not a happy one. Lucille is considered a prisoner in her own marriage as her vow and duty to the kingdom prevented her from saving herself. Despite their whirlwind romance, Roman has turned into a cruel and distant husband. Without any warning, he seemingly changes overnight and she finds herself full of hope again. But what lies beneath the surface may be what Lucille has always been hoping for—or, it was simply all an illusion.
"Maybe we were both insane. There was no other explanation for what she had done and what I was about to do."
Aleatha Romig has crafted a twisted tale that is intriguing, shocking, and full of grays because it deals with a form of cheating but not everything is what it seems. Oliver is an actor and the man tasked to play the role of Roman after the prince's disappearance. Following his character's death in a television show, he is asked to act as the crown prince of Molave and this is where the connection between he and Lucille is made. These two feel an immediate connection to each other and it is made all the more complicated by the fact that Lucille is married to Roman. Despite their best attempts at refraining from having feelings for each other, Lucille is forced to contend with her affections for Oliver and Roman. In this imposter's arms, she finally feels wanted, loved, and cherished after all this time.
"You have been my secret and sustenance. You filled a void that was consuming me… If you make me a promise and break it, then I will have nothing."
In the end, I was thoroughly surprised by this book and look forward to finding out what happens next in Resilient Reign after that shocking cliffhanger of an ending. Although it took me awhile to warm up to the story and its characters, it does eventually pick up and Aleatha Romig fantastically builds up the momentum to the final act of the book. Lucille is a woman trapped in a loveless marriage but finds hope and a second chance at love in a world of smoke and mirrors. I am rooting for her happy ending and I hope that the truth behind what happened to Roman will be revealed in the end. This was a unique take on royal romance and I highly recommend this book if you like the fake identity and forbidden romance tropes because it features a dedicated hero who sees his hopeful heroine and loves her for who she is instead of what others expect her to be.

Release Blitz: This Woman by Jodi Ellen Malpas

This Woman by Jodi Ellen Malpas is now live!

Jesse Ward has stumbled through life drinking and indulging himself within the rooms of his high-class sex club, The Manor, numbing himself to the pain, grief, and guilt of his wrongs. Pleasure and alcohol are his medicine. Hedonism is all he knows.

It's how he copes.

How he survives.

Until Ava O'Shea strolls into his office and knocks him back with her breathtaking beauty, ambition, and drive. It only takes one look into her eyes, one touch of her skin, and one word murmured, before his heart is kick-started, offering him something he never thought possible. A distraction from his daily torment. A semblance of peace.

Women never reject Jesse Ward. They fall at his feet, melt from his charismatic, devious smile, and obey his every salacious command. All except the one woman who unwittingly becomes his obsession and the only thing that can keep him from the brink of self-destruction.

He needs Ava and will do anything to have her.

Even hide every last skeleton in his large closet.

Because the truth could destroy them both.

Extortion by Amelia Wilde

Extortion (Controlling Interest #2)Amelia Wilde returns with Extortion, the continuation of Will LeBlanc and Bristol Anderson's complicated and emotional story as they are forced to acknowledge and confront their feelings for each other. These two simply burned up the pages with their incredible chemistry, rough and dirty sex, and heartbreaking romance. Bristol is left picking up the broken pieces of her heart following Will's sudden departure. Without a goodbye from the man she was falling for, Bristol attempts to move on by taking another temporary job at Hughes Financial Services. Will thought he was doing Bristol a favor when he left her behind but this has backfired on him—he is miserable, angry, and misses her terribly. However, fate intervenes unexpectedly and they meet again but she is no longer working for him.
"But he didn't feel like a cliché to me. He felt like a secret stretch of sand by the ocean. Beautiful and rocky and wild."
Will continues to fascinate me because he is the type of character who wants what he shouldn't have. Although he believes he is undeserving of her warmth, love, and kindness, Will wants this so desperately. I thought this trait was incredibly precious because despite all his attempts at pushing her away, Bristol accepts and loves all of him... including his monstrosity. There is no denying that Will and Bristol are meant to be together but their relationship is complicated by the fact that he is unable to let go of his anger and past. Although he tries to close himself off from his family and Bristol, Will can't help but want to share parts of his life with her and wanting more. I also love that Bristol has become more assertive and confident with Will because she knows exactly who she wants this time.
"All the money in the world couldn't keep me from wanting her like this. Like a monster."
In the end, I absolutely can't wait for Coercion because this book ends with a heart-stopping and emotional cliffhanger that left me reeling from shock. It was completely unexpected and I am worried for Will and Bristol. This book had just the right amount of angst and steamy love scenes. I also loved Will's internal conflict as he is forced to reckon with his own feelings for Bristol. He wants her so desperately but believes that she deserves better than him. In many ways, Will reminds me of Amelia's previous heroes: Gabriel Hill and Leo Morelli. Fans of the Midnight Dynasty universe will be happy to know that some characters also make an appearance. I want to note that Will and Bristol's story also intersects with Skye Warren's Two for the Show. I highly recommend this book to those who loves the tortured and prickly hero who wants to love his sweet and selfless heroine but doesn't believe he deserves her.

Titan's Addiction by Anna Zaires

Titan's Addiction (Wall Street Titan, #2)Anna Zaires' Wall Street Titan duet was such a whirlwind of a read because it left me feeling partly nostalgic but it was also an incredibly sexy and romantic story between two opposite individuals who were never supposed to meet but found love in each other instead. Marcus Carelli did everything in his power to possess Emma Walsh but what he didn't count on was falling head over heels in love with her—even going so far as to stalk, obtain information, and manipulate events in her life. I admired his determination but I was also waiting for the moment Emma would find out about his deception because it was going to break her heart. Despite so many secrets and deception between them, Emma and Marcus' relationship captured my attention and heart.
"You're my addiction, my obsession, my reason for existing—and there's nothing I won't do to earn your love."
Titan's Addiction continues where Wall Street Titan left off—Marcus broke Emma's heart when he ghosted her for a week only to follow her grandparent's home in Florida after realizing that he desperately needed her in his life. What I loved most about this story was that despite their differences, Marcus never lost sight of his desire and love for Emma. She was his everything and he wanted to share his life with her. Emma was a much harder nut to crack because of her money issues and attempts at pushing Marcus away. I immensely enjoyed their push and pull relationship as Marcus doggedly pursues Emma without any hesitation. It was hilarious seeing him be jealous and possessive over Emma, a self-proclaimed cat lady who didn't think much about herself.
"I know that for him, I'll always be a prize worth fighting for—worth crossing any line for. And I wouldn't have it any other way."
In the end, I loved this duet series and I'm sad that we might never get Kendall and Austin's story. Nevertheless, Marcus and Emma's love had everything I wanted and more—a determined and possessive hero who only has eyes for his beloved and an incredibly relatable and humble heroine who doesn't think she is good enough for him. In addition to being romantic and sweet, their relationship was all-consuming and steamy as well. When I say that Marcus was obsessed with Emma, I really mean it. She was it for him. Although they certainly took their time to confess their love for each other, it was worth it in the end. I highly recommend this series to those who like billionaire romances, especially with a morally gray hero who is aware that he his stalking his heroine but can't help it because she's the one and a cat-loving heroine who has doubts and insecurities about herself but finds love and self-confidence in the end.

Scarred by Vanessa Vale & Helen Hardt

Scarred (The Billion Heirs #1)Scarred by Vanessa Vale and Helen Hardt is the first book in a brand new series called The Billion Heirs where secrets, lies, and inheritance dominates the story of the remaining Bridger family members as they are forced to reside in the small town of Bayfield, Montana. With the death of their father and other forces at play, half-brothers Austin, Miles, and Chance must reunite and come to terms with the secrets and consequences of their lineage. I thoroughly enjoyed Austin and Carly's story as they were both likeable characters and had their own problems to overcome. Although Austin is struggling to keep afloat with his sick mother and declining business, his perseverance, protective nature, and determination to see things through made him a worthy hero. Carly was a victim of a horrific kidnapping that scarred her physically and emotionally but her courage to move on and be normal made her an admirable heroine.
"But when Austin Bridger looks at me, I don't feel scarred. I don't feel like… less than whole. I don't feel damaged. I feel like the most beautiful woman in the world."
Austin Bridger and Carly Vance's story was romantic, refreshing, and shocking at times because of many secrets between both families. Prior to staying in Montana, Austin owned a sea piloting business and lived in Seattle with his mother. After finding out about his inheritance, he reluctantly left to the Bridger ranch in Montana and finds love unexpectedly with Carly who is trying to heal and resume the life she had before her abduction. I was actually quite surprised by the chemistry and sexual tension between Austin and Carly. I did not expect Austin to be such a dirty talker but he was exactly what Carly needed and I loved that for her. She did not want to think of herself as broken. While everyone in town was careful around her, Austin was the only one who made her feel normal, feminine, and desirable again.
"Maybe I didn't dodge it after all. It sure feels like a bullet is lodged right in the center of my heart—in the shape of Carly Vance."
In the end, this was a strong introduction to the Bridger family and I look forward to reading Miles and Chance's stories next. Austin never expected to find love with Carly nor a strong brotherly bond his with half-brothers but he did. Despite their differences, they all hated their father. Their mutual dislike for Jonathan Bridger and desire to make things right with Carly's father brought them together. I also loved the fact that Carly didn't need Austin to fix her because she wanted to do it herself. Despite her horrible past, Carly wanted to feel desired and loved—and she eventually found that with Austin. This was my first time reading Vanessa Vale and I was impressed with her writing. I already know and am a fan of Helen Hardt so the steamy love scenes was no surprise to me. Fans of the small town and billionaire romance will enjoy this book as a features a sweet and protective hero who adores his independent heroine as she overcomes her own trauma.

Step-Hero by Dani Wyatt

Step-HeroDani Wyatt returns with a brand new story called Step-Hero, a forbidden romance between step-siblings in the Wanting What's Wrong series and it was incredibly dirty and steamy. Trent and Kat had so much sexual tension and chemistry. While their romance and entanglement with each other was the main focal point of the story, I really liked that there was an additional suspenseful element to it as well with Kat's stalker. The book felt longer, which I appreciated because it allowed for some additional character development for Trent and Kat. Despite their status as "siblings," they were anything but that. Trent and Kat have had feelings for each other but they never acted on it—until he eventually returned from deployment two years later. All bets were off once he reunited with her because she was simply his.
"I would do anything for him. I would live for him. I would die for him. Every breath, every thought, will always belong to him."
Dani simply excels at writing forbidden and taboo romance and this story was certainly no exception. I was shocked and blushed at some of the scenes Trent and Kat had because he was ready to give her everything—including himself and all the darkness inside of him. Their coupling was intense, erotic, and filthy. After coming back from deployment, Trent had become even more possessive, dominant, and obsessed with Kat. These two burned up the pages with their intensity and moments together. Although I had some frustrations with Kat because she was keeping some major secrets from Trent, specifically her stalker and the one behind her parents' death, I also sympathized with her struggle, guilt, and shame.
"I know one simple truth: All of her is mine. Every inch. Every breath. It all belongs to me."
In the end, this was a strong introduction to Dani Wyatt's brand new forbidden/taboo series and I absolutely can't wait to read Step-Bully next. I do want to note that this book does contain the DDLG kink so if you're not into that, I would avoid this book. However, if you do not care about this, you will be satisfied with Trent and Kat's book because it was fast-pace, romantic, suspenseful, and smutty. I highly recommend this book if you like the age-gap and taboo romance with a dominant and possessive hero who is completely devoted and in love with his sweet and equally devoted heroine.

Carly Vance was a student in veterinary school when her dream was shattered. Abducted from a diner in her small town, she was held captive on a South Pacific island for three years. Now she's home, but her scars run deep. Trying to reclaim her life, she bravely takes a job in Bridger Ranch's stables.

Despite Carly’s painful past and Austin’s responsibilities, sparks fly when they cross paths. But Bridger Ranch holds secrets—secrets that may threaten their happiness…and their lives.
