Liars Like Us by J.T. Geissinger

There are no words to describe how much Liars Like Us blew my mind because J.T. Geissinger knocked Callum McCord and Emery Eastwood's story out of the ballpark. It was hilarious, incredibly sexy, shocking, and everything I wanted and expected it to be. This book is a story like no other and I consider it my favorite read of the year so far because I simply devoured it. It may seem like a typical billionaire romance where the hero rescues the heroine in a damsel in stress situation but it is so much more than that. The sexual chemistry and banter between Callum and Emery was a heady thing to witness because his intensity and seriousness matched her wit and sassiness. Callum's love, dedication, and obsession for Emery goes beyond anything I have ever seen in a hero. He may not be her knight in shining armor but he was her dirty-talking red flag of a monster.

"What you are is my reason for being. My center of gravity… You feel like sunlight to me. You feel like a sky full of stars. I loved you before I even knew your name."

In the end, I loved everything about this book—Callum and Emery's complicated and sexy relationship most of all. I did not expect the spice because their love scenes were steamy and swoon-worthy as Callum persistently pursues Emery and chooses her over everything. There was another layer to Callum and Emery's relationship that came as no surprise to me—they were liars of the heart. Emery lied about her true feelings for Callum every time he confronted her about it and he lied about many things all for the sake of her love. It was so fascinating to see Emery unwillingly fall for Callum even though she knew that he was all wrong for her. When Callum's secret was finally revealed, I was completely shocked and speechless because he really went that far for Emery. Fans of J.T. Geissinger, especially those who love her Beautifully Cruel and Queens & Monsters series, will not want to miss out on this story because it features a highly possessive, obsessive, and morally gray hero who will go to any lengths to obtain his sassy and spitfire of a heroine.

Break Me, Daddy by Sara Fields

Break Me, Daddy is Ada Murphy and Shane Kavanagh's story—the third book in Sara Field's Boston Kings series that follows the Murphy's legacy in Boston. This is a direct sequel to Kieran and Corman's story and Ada is the third sibling to fall in love. I was pleasantly surprised by this book because it features a headstrong and independent heroine who knows what she wants. Shane was a fantastic counterpart to Ada because he tested her control and knew what she needed from him. He allowed her to be the more powerful version of herself in front of others and his "little girl" in private. Their relationship was incredibly sexy, intense, dirty, and sweet. I went into this book fully expecting the kink from the get-go but it actually took time for Ada to accept and come to terms with that part of her. It was gradual and natural for Ada to want someone who would be willing accept everything about her and Shane was the one.

"He was more than anything I could ever wish for. This was true love, and it was all mine."

In the end, Ada and Shane's story was everything I wanted because while she was a powerful woman in her own right, Shane accepted her independent nature as well as her vulnerability. Ada needed a man who would be willing to take the reins from her control but eventually give it back to her and Shane does exactly that. In addition to their incredible sexual chemistry, Ada and Shane also had an unexpected past together. I have a feeling that the next book will feature Aidan Murphy—Ada's quiet, moody, and fiercely protective brother, and his spitfire heroine, Irina Morozov. Fans of Sara Fields and the dark mafia romance genre will not want to miss out of this book because it features a dominant and possessive hero who teases but also caters to his sassy heroine's wants and needs. I loved this book and I highly recommend it.

Claim by Sienna Snow

Sophia Morelli has always been known as the "wild child" in the family but what we thought we knew about her partying ways was only a facade. Claim by Sienna Snow is her story with the enigmatic, possessive, and brooding Damon Pierce. I was pleasantly surprised by this book and loved how the author was able to use what we already knew about Sophia and develop her into such a strong but vulnerable heroine. This vulnerability of hers would eventually capture the attention of Damon Pierce, Lucian Morelli's best friend, and throw them both into a whirlwind romance that neither expected. Despite my frustrations with Damon's hot and cold attitude regarding Sophia, I liked that he owned up to it because he simply could not stay away from her. He tried to push her away because of his past but like a moth to a flame, Damon was obsessed with her and grew increasingly possessive of Sophia.

"Claiming you means you're mine, Sophia. I will use any means necessary to protect you. I'm not letting you go. I can't… There is no escape for you now."

In the end, Sophia Morelli and Damon Pierce's story was an unexpected surprise and I really enjoyed their explosive, intense, dirty, and incredibly spicy relationship. I was impressed by Sienna Snow's writing and characterization. This book does end with a cliffhanger that left me speechless and frustrated because it made me want to read Defy immediately. Lucian Morelli from Heartless made a spectacular cameo in Sophia's book, which comes as no surprise as she was close to him. I loved their relationship because Lucian tried to be protective older brother but failed to persuade Sophia and Damon away from each other. I appreciated the fact that they had their own issues to overcome—Damon was haunted by a failed relationship while Sophia was pretending to be someone she was not. Fans of the Midnight Dynasty world will not want to miss out on Sophia and Damon's book because it features a sweet but powerful heroine who knows her own worth and isn't afraid to challenge her brooding and possessive hero.

Release Blitz: Protégé King by Lisa Renee Jones

PROTEGE KING

Lisa Renee Jones

Release Date: May 16

Damion West was the boy who stole my young heart and then broke it. That was a long time ago though and I’m not a girl susceptible to hot boys with big egos who just happen to kiss well anymore. Nor have I kept up with Damion West. Okay, I have. Everyone has. He's the heir to West Enterprises, and notoriously loud on social media.

Everyone knows Damion West.

Just not like I do.

But that's another story better left untold.

It’s hard sometimes to remember that I’m no slouch myself. Confidence isn't exactly my forte but I fake it well. I’ve worked with my parents’ real estate firm catering to the rich and famous for years and I'm now one of the top agents in the country. Blue Enterprises is the name of our firm, which is also my name. Blue. Alana Blue. And now I'm on TV, the star of Selling in New York.

But every family has secrets. Damion's does and mine does as well.

That's why I have the TV show I didn't really want.

Nothing is real.

Except him. Damion. He's real. So is my past with him. But it's the past.

Then one day I get called to a meeting by the studio head, it's all very secretive.

Because it's not the studio at all, or actually, it is. Because his family owns everything.

That's right.

The meeting is with him. It's with Damion West.

And Lord help me, he's now sexier, and more arrogant than ever.

Also it turns out that what Damion wants from me isn't as simple as a real estate contract.

But it's a contract all right.

Protégé King by Lisa Renee Jones

Lisa Renee Jones returns with a brand new series featuring a second-chance romance between two childhood best friends turned enemies to lovers—Protégé King is her latest release. Alana and Damion's will they, won't they relationship is the main theme of the book and remains a point of contention between the two from childhood to adulthood. Throughout the years, the tension, longing, and angst between them kept building until it finally exploded and everything fell apart. There were so many obstacles in their path—the complicated relationship between Damion and Alana's parents, Damion himself because he kept Alana in the dark to protect her, and finally Alana because she buried her feelings for Damion and made assumptions about his character. From their unresolved feelings for each other to the miscommunication between them, Alana and Damion's relationship was messy, dramatic, frustrating, sexy, and intense. I was captivated by their story and the consequences of their union.

"I want her. I've always wanted her. And I will never fail her again. I will never let her get hurt again."

In the end, I did enjoy Alana and Damion's story despite my frustrations with them and the unresolved feelings that they still had with each other even after so many years. The book does end with a cliffhanger that will entice readers to pick up the sequel, Scorned Queen because Damion is finally making a move against his father after he left behind his only weakness in the world all those years ago. I appreciated the way the story was told from present day to the past and back to the present because it painted a complete picture of Damion and Alana's relationship and what happened between them. There is bad blood between Damion and his father because of what he did to Alana and her parents. Fans of Lisa Renee Jones will not want to miss out on this story because it features the same incredible writing, characterization, and intrigue that the author is always known for in her previous books.

Reckless by Jaye Peaches

Reckless by Jaye Peaches was my first book by this author and after getting to experience the steamy love scenes and filthy inhibitions of her characters, it certainly won't be my last. Leon and Katrina's story captured my attention and despite my frustrations with some their actions, I was thoroughly invested in their tumultuous relationship. It started off innocently enough—Katrina wanted to capture Leon's attention and she got it. Their passion-filled night left both wanting more but an assassination attempt resulted in Leon losing his memories of Katrina. Leon never cared for love until he met Katrina. In her attempt to trigger his memories, Katrina is persuaded to become Leon's live-in maid—a role meant to satisfy all of his sexual and physical urges. This was an unexpected turn of events and it surprised me. I didn't think Katrina would go this far for a man she just met but her reckless nature does reflect the theme of the book quite well.

"I'm committed to him and he is to me. We're joined by this thing that binds us together and love is the glue that will stop it from breaking."

Leon was a much more difficult character to understand because he was so fixated on power and disregarded love as though it was a weakness. As with most typical dominant males in this genre, he only wanted a physical relationship with Katrina. Not that I blamed him because these two had incredible sexual chemistry with each other. The physical aspect of their relationship was erotic and dirty. However, fate had other plans because the more time Leon spent with Katrina, the more he started to care and soften for her. Katrina was already in love with Leon despite her doubts about him remember their night together. In the end, I enjoyed Leon and Katrina's super steamy and action-filled romance. While I would have loved a deeper dive into their backstories, I appreciated the story for what it was—light on the mafia, heavy on the kink and smut.

Release Blitz: Hero Worship by Amelia Wilde

Hero Worship by Amelia Wilde is now live!

He has just one task: making her his own.

The day Hercules laid a fist against another man was the day he realized he’d spend forever wanting the one woman he didn’t deserve. Defending her honor came with a price — but with the time served and battle scars endured, absence has only intensified feelings that not even a god could force into submission...

Daisy has long since learned to spill her pain onto a canvas — paintings of the hidden terrors that torture her by night have made her name as an artist. But none of them show the darkness Daisy truly fears: the deepest, unspoken desires of her body.

When their paths cross for the first time since adolescence, Herc is determined to step into the fray and defeat Daisy’s demons. At least, until he can show this dark, tormented goddess exactly what she’s capable of…

HERO WORSHIP is a steamy standalone by USA Today bestselling author Amelia Wilde. Featuring the super-strength alpha of Greek mythology and the woman he swore to protect, this angsty romance brings together an age-old legend and unspeakable desires.

Hero Worship by Amelia Wilde

Hero Worship marks Amelia Wilde's return to her world of modern Greek gods that she first introduced in Richer Than God, King of Shadows, and The Devil trilogies—Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon's books. While Daisy and Hercules' book can be read as a standalone, I would not recommend it because the story was confusing without context and additional background information. A recap of the story so far would have made the mystery surrounding Daisy's origins and Hercules' connection to everyone easier to understand. Nevertheless, I was mostly interested in Daisy and Hercules' complex relationship and Amelia Wilde did not disappoint because it was messy and intense. Their romance felt very dream-like at times and this matched well with the theme of the book because Daisy had her own nightmares to confront.

“I don't want to always hurt her. I don't want her to only think of pain when she thinks of me.”

The story begins with Daisy attending an art gallery for her friend but it quickly turns into an assassination attempt on her life. Someone is out to kill Daisy but who? We're given context as to why Daisy has moved away from the family that she has always known and loved but she is keeping a secret from them. Enter Hercules, who Zeus took in as a teenager, and he is tasked with guarding Daisy until can find the perpetrator. Hercules was quite the interesting character because of his hot and cold reactions to Daisy. If I were to describe Hercules, he would be the “wounded hero” archetype. After receiving an injury in the military, Hercules feels lost and adrift. He eventually accepts Zeus' ask to guard Daisy as a favor even though their relationship has always been difficult. In the end, I really enjoyed this dark and steamy retelling of "Hercules" because it felt different from Amelia Wilde's more recent works.
