Flight Risk by Amelia Wilde

Jameson Hill has always considered himself to be a crime scene and the mask that he wears for his family is starting to crack. An impulsive decision to kidnap Lily Hayes, the granddaughter of the judge who condemned the Hill's to a difficult life early on after the death of parents, will have devastating consequences and bring together two people from opposites sides who were never supposed to meet and fall in love. Jameson—just like his brothers, Mason and Gabriel, is a broken man who hides behind a cheerful facade that is starting fall apart. Amelia Wilde continues to blow me away with her stories and characters because I went from being conflicted about what Jameson was doing to feeling sympathetic to his brokenness. The fact that he talks to Snowball, a bird that he rescued, was incredibly endearing and charming. Lily herself was also a force to be reckoned with—brave, innocent, kind, understanding, and defiant. Her interactions and chemistry with Jameson were explosive, charged, and steamy.

"I'd rather exist for her entertainment than be a human crime scene, seconds away from exploding into fresh heartache."

In the end, I loved reading Jameson and Lily's beginning. The book does end with a shocking cliffhanger and now it's Lily's turn to change Jameson's world and outlook on life. Despite their rough beginning, it didn't take long for both characters to start caring for each other. In many ways, her chance meeting with Jameson has irrevocably changed her perspective on the meaning of justice, her grandfather's shady dealings, and the path of law school that was initially set out for her. All she ever wanted was freedom and she experienced that with Jameson. I'm excited to see what Amelia Wilde will have in store for these two free-spirited individuals who might be each other's salvation. Fans of Mason Hill (Net Worth) and Gabriel Hill (Power Play) will not want to miss out on this story because it features the youngest brother who has always been known to seek justice against the corrupted.

Release Blitz: Flight Risk by Amelia Wilde

Flight Risk by Amelia Wilde is now live!

When love takes you hostage, what’s the correct response: fight or flight?

Jameson Hill has been a walking crime scene ever since he lost both parents as a teenager.

Since then, his life has been one big run-in with the justice system — not that Jameson has

ever had any faith in the law. In fact, all he’s ever wanted is to wipe the smile off the face of

the thieving judge who stole his family’s inheritance.

So when Jameson gets the chance to seize the most powerful bargaining chip of all, he goes

all in.

Law student Lily Hayes is following determinedly in her grandfather’s footsteps — anything

to make sure she doesn’t end up like her flaky, “free-spirited” mother. But when she finds

herself the captive of a hot, spontaneous, billionaire with a revenge wish, Lily’s good girl

intentions go up in flames.

All Jameson has ever wanted was retribution, but every night with this sweetly vulnerable

woman is bringing him closer to redemption. And that’s something he just can’t risk, if he’s

ever going to set the record straight...

A Cruel Arrangement by Tijan is now live! 

This was my place. My business. Easter Lanes.

Then a guy comes in, trying to rob me, daring to take it away from me.

My home. My life.

Hell no. I won't let my livelihood be threatened.

No one knows what I've done to build this life for myself.

Except he might.

Ashton Walden, a man I remember from when we were kids.

Even back then I could tell how dangerous he would be one day.

He's now the head of the Walden mafia family, and my father is so in debt to them that they practically own him.

My dad and I are estranged and I want nothing to do with him or his debt, but the day after the attempted robbery, I don't wake up in the hospital.

I wake up in Ashton Walden's home. And he drops a bomb on me.

If I want my livelihood back, I need to earn it back.

And thus begins our cruel arrangement.

A Cruel Arrangement by Tijan

Tijan makes a thrilling and fantastic comeback with her Kings of New York series in A Cruel Arrangement featuring Ashton Walden and Molly Easter—two characters we previously met in Trace West and Jess Montell's book, A Dirty Business. The story immediately picks up after the devastating and shocking events of the previous book so I would not consider this a standalone. While the author does shift the tone and point of view of the story to Ashton and Molly, Trace and Jess still play significant roles in the plot and mystery behind the deaths of Justin Worthing and Kelly as well as the brewing mafia war between the Walden-West families and the Worthing family. I appreciate how Tijan is able to craft a story that is not only interesting and unpredictable but the romance, while understated yet intense, shines through quite beautifully. Molly is the light to Ashton's darkness.

"Molly was mine. She was either my target, my mark, my woman, or my cross to bear. Any and all ways I split it, she was mine."

In the end, Ashton and Molly's story was one that I never expected but it had everything I loved most in a romance—an anti-hero who embraces his darkness but turns soft with his woman and a heroine whose happy-go-lucky and practical outlook on life exasperates her man but he still loves her anyway. I never expected their union but after learning their history and past relationship to each other, everything made perfect sense. While Ashton was not a good man by any means, his growing love and concern for Molly—the light of his life, was beautifully explored and written. Molly herself was a quirky and endearing character who tells it like it is. She lived a hard life but survived it nonetheless. This series has solidified my love for Tijan's beautiful prose and multi-dimensional characters. You absolutely won't regret giving this series a try if you love reading mafia romances.

Step-Baller by Dani Wyatt

In her third installment in the Wanting What's Wrong series, Dani Wyatt continues the step-sibling and forbidden romance trope that she started in Step-Hero with Step-Baller. Mina and Jackson's story was full of steam, dirty talk, and a taboo love that was worth fighting for. Jackson has been in love with Mina for a long time and similarly, Mina's feelings for her step-brother also change as they grew older. This might be my second favorite after Trent and Kat because despite this book being smut, there was actual progression and drama between the characters. Mina dreams of becoming a fashion designer and the designs that she entered in a contest has offered her a place in New York. The only problem is how to get there. Her attempt at asking the local rich kids at her school ends in failure but Jackson unexpectedly appears and we're provided a much closer look into their relationship and the sinful desires that he has for her.

"No matter what, remember I'm the one that loves you. I'm the only one you'll ever love, too.

What they both didn't expect was for her to lose her memories. The amnesia was certainly a surprising turn of events and Jackson had no qualms taking advantage of it. While it was wrong of him to do so, he was willing to risk everything for Mina's love. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I liked seeing Mina's "other" side because all of the feelings that she previously repressed for Jackson as his step-sister were unleashed. Even when Mina regained her memories in the end, they were both devoted and in love with each other. Fans of Dani Wyatt will not be disappointed by her sex scenes because they were incredibly spicy and filthy. I highly recommend this book to those who like taboo and forbidden romance between step-siblings with an intense and possessive hero who will stop at nothing to claim his sweet but feisty heroine.

Stolen Vows by Sara Fields

Stolen Vows by Sara Fields is a brand new story by the author and it is an arranged marriage and mafia romance between two strangers who were never supposed to meet. Natasha and Sergei made for an enjoyable pairing and I really liked their push and pull relationship. Although Natasha frustrated at times because she often pushed Sergei intentionally, this was also expected in their union. Sara Fields is also known to include "punishments" in her books as well. Overall, Natasha and Sergei's romance was actually really sweet and sexy—he happened to be the one who fall first. Despite his punishments, Sergei was in love with Natasha and took the time to care for her after. I couldn't even blame him for it because Natasha endangered herself and intentionally broke his rules.

"When I said my vows to you that day, I meant them forever. I belong to you, and you belong to me."

In the end, this was an enjoyable read and fans of Sara Fields will not be disappointed by her latest spicy mafia romance. Sergei might be one of her sweetest heroes yet because he did everything in his power to protect and care for his Natasha. We also did get some elements of danger and death in this book but it was few and far in-between. Sergei has been trying to solidify his power in Chicago and in order to protect those that belong to him, he was willing to kill anyone for hurting them. Overall, the romance between Natasha and Sergei was still the highlighting point of this book and Sara Fields has done an amazing job drawing out the sexual tension between her hero and heroine.

Daisy Unchained by Elena Dawne

Daisy Unchained by Elena Dawne was such an unexpected surprise and enjoyable read. I typically don't read step-brother romances but Cyrus and Daisy were not related at all. Her "mother" who married Cyrus father was actually her step-mother. However, the forbidden romance aspect was still there. I was impressed by Elena Dawne's writing and the way she wrote her spicy scenes. The main characters were not one-dimensional at all and had their own struggles and demons to overcome. Daisy and Cyrus were both the nurturing type of individuals but Cyrus did a better job of hiding it behind his cold and asshole exterior. But, it didn't take long for Daisy to walk past his defenses due to her sweet and kind nature. While it was certainly lust at first sight between these two, it didn't take long for them to develop feelings for each other. I also didn't mind the age gap and kinky scenes—but fair warning to those who feel uncomfortable with the lactation scenes and d*ddy trope.

"I've set her free, given her all she could need to run, but she's chosen to stay with me. She loves the way I take care of her, and… I love the way she takes care of me too."

In the end, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this sweet and highly erotic love story between a heroine learning to accept her sexual inhibitions and desires with the man she adores and the hero who similarly comes to terms with his place in her life as a Dom and someone who also needs to care and be cared for. I enjoyed their dual nature—Daisy was submissive but obstinate when it came to giving Cyrus her love while Cyrus was dominant but due to childhood trauma, he had been oppressing his inner self to never want love. There was a very interesting dynamic between these two and the author did an incredible job exploring that through their sexual engagements and developing relationship. This certainly won't be my last book by Elena Dawne and I look forward to whatever she comes up with next.

Rating: ★★★★☆
