Extortion by Amelia Wilde

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

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 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

Dani 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.

Silver Lining by Aleatha Romig

Aleatha Romig returns with Lena Montgomery, Donovan Sherman's best friend from Red Sin, in Silver Lining as she is forced to deal with a stalker situation that ultimately leads her to the man of her dreams. Lena was such a multifaceted character—someone who was forced to become a strong and ruthless woman because of past events but she also had a side to her that was vulnerable and sweet as well. I also loved her chosen hero, Chandler John Thompson or CJ to close friends and family. He was devoted to Lena and completely perfect for her because he loved all of her sides. Their relationship was incredibly sexy, sweet, fun, and relaxing—something that Lena had been missing from her life for a very long time. Their one week in paradise left a deep and unforgettable impression for both of them.

"Everything I see in you. I wasn't looking, but now that you're here, you're too good to be true. You're everything I never knew I wanted."

Lena's story was suspenseful and completely romantic, something that I never expected from her. In Donovan and Julia's books, she was this formidable character who refused to let her past define her. Seeing Lena's vulnerability as she is forced to contend with her stalker, past, and self-worth was a beautiful and heartbreaking thing to witness. During her climb to the top, she made many enemies and unethical decisions but never lost sight of her ambition. Her chance meeting with the confident, handsome, and playful CJ changed the course of her life. In addition to the romance, Aleatha simply excels at the suspense and twist behind Lena's dangerous stalker who had been tormenting her for some time. As Lena begins to question everyone and especially those around her, she looks to CJ as a safe haven and he certainly delivers.

"I don't need you. I want you. The want is strong enough to become a need. For you. Your laugh, your smile, your everything."

In the end, I loved this standalone title because Lena Montgomery has always been a character I was intrigued by. She was powerful but there was a vulnerability to her that made her truly special. Furthermore, Lena needed a man who was willing to take the reins but give it back to her as well—CJ does that and more. Despite their age difference, CJ was wise beyond his years and became Lena's rock during her time of need. Their love scenes were steamy and swoon-worthy as CJ persistently pursues Lena and chooses her over everything. Fans of Aleatha Romig and the Sin series will absolutely want to read this book because we're given a deeper dive into Lena's character and her meeting with the one after Donovan and Julia Sherman's story.

My JoeSmith: Exposed by Pebbles Lacasse

My JoeSmith: Exposed by Pebbles Lacasse is the continuation of Terri and JoeSmith's relationship as she is forced to contend with his identity and her own complicated feelings for him and others. This one definitely took me out of my comfort zone due to the fluidity of the characters' sexual preferences and how far they were willing to go to have pleasure. I wasn't particularly interested in this aspect of the book since Terri was in some kind of open relationship with several different characters. What I was looking forward to, however, was the developing romantic relationship between Terri and Ben and it did not disappoint. I have been fascinated by Ben's character since the beginning and there is more than meets the eye with him. In addition to being a multifaceted character, I loved how charismatic and devoted he was to Terri as their romance was super sweet and steamy.

"I want you every moment of every day. You're constantly on my mind. I see you when I plan for my future and you haunt my dreams when I close my eyes."

While Ben and Terri take major steps in their relationship, Sam also finds a unique relationship of her own with Mule/Jason. Sam wasn't as annoying in the sequel but her attempts at third-wheeling Terri's growing romance with Ben made for some frustrating moments. Terri continues to feel conflicted with her current predicament but makes a significant discovery during one of her sessions with JoeSmith. As she is being punished, JoeSmith briefly lifts his mask and Terri is able to confirm his identity. I was shocked and elated to finally know who this mysterious and powerful individual was. For the first time since their relationship began, Terri finally has power over her Master and knows his secret.

"How did he reach so deeply into my heart and steal it with such ease without me noticing?"

In the end, I have enjoyed Terri's story with her mysterious lover as she becomes more confident in herself and sexual nature. Despite reading a story that was out of my comfort zone, I still appreciated the fact that there were some romantic scenes between Terri and Ben because I stayed for them. Fans of the office/workplace romance and BDSM trope will undeniably like this book because it was very well-written and sexy. However, it does contain a rather open relationship between its main female and male character so that might not be to your preference. If you like your heroes mysterious, charismatic, and dominant with a shy heroine who truly grows into herself, then you won't be disappointed with Terri's journey of a love story.

Ace of Diamonds by Alta Hensley

Ace of Diamonds is the final book in the Wonderland trilogy and conclusion to Nick Hudson and Lyriope Morelli's obsessive and maddening love as they seek to overcome the odds against them. Lyriope made some questionable decisions that frustrated me. I was confused by her sudden desire for Bryant Morelli's love and acceptance when he treated her horribly. Instead of accepting Nick's love and offer of freedom, she stayed in a situation that was abusive and harmful to her. In her attempt to gain her father's approval, Lyriope's naivety and need to be part of a family almost killed her. Nick, who has been watching on the sidelines and waiting all this time, wanted her to come to terms with her own situation before making his move. There was no doubt that he was ever going to let her go—she was his.

"Wonderland. It was my everything… Until she entered my life. Now it's her. Only her. She is my everything. And I believe she knows it."

Despite my frustrations, Nick and Lyriope's story was a whirlwind of emotions and all-consuming lust. The love scenes were incredibly erotic and dirty—Alta simply excels at building up the sexual chemistry of her characters. Nick's obsessive love for Lyriope was a heady thing to witness because he wanted to own all of her. The same can be said for Lyriope whose sexual inhibitions and desires flourished because of Nick. She was equally as obsessed and in love with him. However, Lyriope's decision to stay with her father also meant that she could not be with Nick. Bryant had arranged for her to be married immediately to the Sidorovs. I honestly had no expectations for Bryant Morelli. Lyriope deserved better. I wanted her to realize that he was never going to see her as his daughter and to stop making excuses for him. Unfortunately, she didn't come to this realization until the end.

"Nothing about you and me and the life we'll live will be ordinary. Our love is extraordinary. Our love crosses into madness, my queen, and I don't want it any other way."

In the end, I enjoyed Nick and Lyriope's tumultuous love story because it was unexpected, emotional at times, and extremely spicy. Even though Lyriope took some time to be the queen that Nick needed her to be, she was able to overcome her own shortcomings and forsake Bryant Morelli for her chosen family. We might be getting a book for Harrison, Nick's right-hand man, and Sasha Morelli—Lyriope's sassy and confident cousin. I'm rather curious about these two and hope Alta will be writing a book for them in the future. Fans of Alta Hensley and the Midnight Dynasty world will not want to miss out on this hot and steamy romance with many references to Alice and Wonderland. I recommend this trilogy to those who like reading the dark billionaire trope with a possessive and controlling "Mad Hatter" of a hero who will do anything to own his defiant and stubborn "Queen of Hearts."
