We’re destined to destroy each other, but we’re going to finish this game, no matter how long or what it takes.

In my line of business, every day dawns with the smell of death in the air. But it’s not a bullet that’s going to slay me. It’s Sabella, the woman who was promised to me, the woman who betrayed me.

I hate and want her in equal measure, an agonizing situation of my own making. We’re heading down a path of destruction, but there’s no turning back. At the first chance she gets, she’ll stab me in the back again. She’s a dangerous risk and a threat to my family. If I were wise, I’d eliminate that risk and leave her funeral to the sharks. I must be an idiot, because I’m going to finish what I started, no matter the cost.

Abandoned on his Mountain by Dani Wyatt

Abandoned on his Mountain might be my favorite book in the Palate Teasers series by Dani Wyatt, which can all be read as a standalone. Marin and Davis were well-rounded characters and they had a sense a humor to them that I thought was completely relatable. In addition to their interesting quirks and secrets, these two had incredible sexual chemistry with each other. I was surprised by their first meeting and how quickly it derailed into a passionate scene that left both characters addicted and breathless. It was love at first sight for Davis and he fell hard for Marin the moment he set his eyes on her. I thought the setup was quite interesting because Marin came from a highly religious family and because she was born out of wedlock, her grandfather raised her as the embodiment of sin. His attempt at abandoning her at Carson Mountain to humble her would lay the foundations to Marin meeting her savior and love of her life.

"I know I want this. Him. And what his dark and dangerous self promises to give me."

In the end, this was such an enjoyable and steamy read between two likeable characters that were always meant for each other. Davis was a good man who would do anything to protect his loved ones. I was completely charmed by his younger brother, Stevie, and his relationship with Davis and Marin. Although Davis kept secrets from Marin, he was afraid that she would run away from him after finding out the truth. Never did he think that she would not only accept him but come to understand the man he always tried to be. Overall, this was such a charming love story and I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a quick read with engaging characters and lots of spice.

Release Blitz: You Beautiful Thing, You by Saffron A. Kent

YOU BEAUTIFUL THING, YOU by Saffron A. Kent 

Release Date: October 29th

Nineteen-year-old Tempest Jackson wants a baby.

No, her biological clock isn’t ticking, but she’s desperate for unconditional love. Rejected by all except her brother and soon to be married off by her father for financial gain, she aches for someone to hold close and call hers.

Enter Ledger Thorne. Soccer god, devastatingly handsome and her brother’s rival.

Once upon a time they had a thing. A beautiful thing. But while Tempest thought she was madly in love, Ledger was only using her for petty revenge.

So Tempest has a plan: seduce the sexy jerk who broke her heart, use him to get pregnant and then leave him in the dust like he left her, to marry a stranger.

Only the problem with making babies is that it doesn’t feel like revenge. It feels a lot like that thing they used to have: Hot and stormy, and intense and intimate.

But Tempest isn’t a fool. She’ll stick to the plan.

Because wasn’t it Ledger who turned their beautiful thing into something ugly?

Now it’s her turn…

NOTE: This is a STANDALONE set in the world of Bardstown, a St. Mary’s Rebels spin-off.

Tears Like Acid by Charmaine Pauls

Tears Like Acid is the third book in the Corsican Crime Lord series and it continues the tragic love story of Sabella Edwards and Angelo Russo. It is a testament to Charmaine Pauls' writing and ability to evoke such visceral reactions and emotions from both her characters and readers. This series continues to stun me in the best of ways because the fault of the matter lies in the characters themselves. Angelo hates and loves Sabella in equal measures and cannot forgive her even though he knows that she did nothing wrong. His pride and ego prevents him from forgiving her, which tortures him in return. My heart breaks for Sabella because she has given so much of herself for Angelo but he continues to hurt her at every turn. Their love is tragic in the sense that it can never go back to the way it once was simply because he is unwilling to believe in her. His attempt to control and entrap her will only end in tragedy for the both of them.

“I’ll give him obedience. I’ll give him my body. I’ll pay that price. But I’ll never give him my heart or a child. And for as long as I live, I’ll never speak his name again.”

In the end, I devoured this book and the wait for Kisses Like Rain is going to kill me because we're left with another brutal cliffhanger. Angelo has done some terrible things to Sabella but this might be the worst. He loves her and yet, the fact that he believes she will betray him is contradictory. He knows that he has been a monster to Sabella and yet he keeps hurting her all the same. This leads to me believe that Angelo's concept or notion of love is broken. How can he possibly love Sabella when he was the one who destroyed everything? On the other hand, Sabella has experienced tremendous growth and I am rooting for her happy ending—whether it be with or without Angelo. I can only hope Angelo will realize what a treasure Sabella is before it's too late. I expect the ultimate grovel scene because she deserves nothing less. I highly recommend this series to anyone who is looking for a heartbreaking and tragic love story between a tortured and broken anti-hero who hates and loves his sweet and resilient heroine.
