Until suddenly, you discover the surgeon you’re working with is the shark in blue scrubs. And he doesn’t realize it’s you. Our explosive connection is no longer limited to the bedroom. This is not the kind of man you bring home to meet your son. We’ve endured enough. Yet these are treacherous waters. Is it purely lust that brings me back for more? Our chemistry is undeniable. The passion unparalleled. Is there a hope for a future with this deliciously dangerous man, driven to win at any cost? Or is this relationship one more betrayal in the making?

NEW to me author. I picked this up after the author send me a few of her signed paperbacks. I liked the blurb and couldn’t wait to read.
Sebastian the hero is super swoony, hard working, sexy, smart and a little bit of a player. Once you find out why he holds back, your heart will feel for him. Isabella the heroine is a strong woman, a mother, compassionate, real, sweet and too beautiful but has no idea how beautiful. This story is a cat & mouse chase story, there is stubbornness and thinkcheaded-ness I’m also sure that last word in here is not a word but I made it up so go with it. I have not read the previous books or any book from this author to be specific so I got a little glimpse of wanting to read more from this author. I will say that I did not see the twist coming at the end so I was taken back, but it was the good kind of twist.
Looking forward to reading more from this author!

NEW to me author but not world. I think I have said to almost all the last 10 15 of these in the world that the new author’s are ruining the world for me because I am so familiar with it an unfort doesn’t service a purpose for me to read any of their other books. Some of them I am not sure how they end up with the orange amazon flag but to each it’s own. That said this is a first in a while of these I’ve read that I actually liked it because it fit the world well.
The dynamic between hero and heroine is a little odd to me, the meeting of the daughter threw me back because it was just so ‘eh it’s happening’ I was expecting a more emotional way about it. Then we have the heroine who is a main job stripper and a hero who fits in the world well but the scene at the club house regarding the club bunnies, what he said (turn off). Very slow-burn with lots of teasing, not used to that in the world too but it was sweet and sexy. I think again what I keep missing is that insta-love, hot and steamy, danger and the romance-passion between the couples. *sad sigh* this had the greatest potential I just was not able to really get into it without trying hard not to overly-judge the whole book based off of the world. This will be my last one reading in the world unless it’s a not-new to me author. Best of luck to the world and this author.

NEW to me author & books. I picked this sign-up just as a I saw it and the blurb sounded really good so I wanted to go for it. I don’t usually like to dive into NEW author’s but if the blurb really sounds great I give it a go. Unfortunately I was not able to really connect with the characters, especially the heroine and the writing style.
I did DNF this book due to a huge huge turn-off and dislike which is deception of cheating & characters who are a second-chance and sleep/kiss other characters. The mood was just black for me the whole time, I read as much as I could digest until I just got pissed off enough to want to throw away my kindle. Again some people love this, why, I will never understand if I wanted real life BS I wouldn’t be reading I can see enough of that in the world. I honestly haven’t read enough to get into the story because I have been so focus on trying to connect with the characters and get over the ‘cheating’ ordeal. Personal preference it is what it is. Best of luck to the author.

NEW to me author but not world. Now when this first came out the idea of the world I signed up for every single one for the first few rounds & then it just got to be too much. I held off and only chose the ones where the blurb really sounded like something I would enjoy. This is a NEW to me author so I had to also adjust to the writing style.
Piper and Chad were characters I liked automatically, and their story was a SWOON worthy and romantic one. These two have loved one another since forever but of course there was no way either one of them would tell the other, so they went on with their life as is. When a chance encounter occurs and Piper is in a bind and Chad is really being pushed by his father, these two come together. There is a lot of SWOON from the hero here I will give you that, the heroine I had a little bit of a harder time adjusting to but it’s also because this is a NEW to me author and heroine are hard to hit perfect for everyone of course. I did love these two together and enjoyed watching their story unfold.

NEW to me author and books. I picked this up through a PR sign up and after reading the blurb I knew I had to give it a try. I did struggle in the beginning, but since this was a NEW to me author I knew I had to try and get to half way through or full to give it a good go. I was just having a hard time connecting to both hero or heroine.
Remington and Faith are one of a kind, to me it was either I LOVED them or HATED them type of feel and I think that up and down is what made it hard for me to connect. I ended up enjoying the story after all. It contained lots of angst, laughter, passion and romance.

NEW to me author and books. I’ve had a crazy year this year so I did not remember if I requested this ARC but it showed up either way, so I gave it a try. I am glad I did, I fell in love with both the Hero & Heroine.
Tag is a single-dad but in a little bit of a different way. He is a hockey star and well his life isn’t as easy as one would think. I fell in love with the hero from the start, I can appreciate why he had his walls up because of his past but he stood no chance with Chloe. She was just so adorable, sweet, beautiful and real. Their chemistry was not only physical but just an over all, and I loved watching them dance around one another and when we got to the beautiful moment, I was swooning and blushing in the same.
Very sweet story, love the sport romance vibe & the characters.

NEW to me author and books. This is a Dual-POV.
This being my first read by the author, I saw this blurb and really it caught my eye so I went for it. It is a little bit of a different writing style and tone than I am sued to reading so it was harder for me to pick up on it. The hero and Heroine weren’t insta love, it was rather a struggle until the moment but what kind of threw me off is that there was no build up to the INSTA-LOVE if that makes sense. Not to mention that the heroine’s secret of big reveal didn’t really happen until after 90% and by then I was done (not done with the book but just in my mind set done with the story type) so on both instances I saw it coming but really wanted that build up. I don’t know if it was because it felt out of order and line for me at times. I still enjoyed their chemistry together, it was really beautiful. The heroine is a single mom raining a child, no money, and the Hero is a rather wealthy man who does well for himself in life. I do like that type of style, I just wish it wasn’t jumbled a little for more. But for a NEW author to me, i really enjoyed the read.

I kind of knew what I was getting into story wise and have been looking forward to it but I was pleasantly surprised that I got hooked real fast from the first pages. The romance, the humor, the feelings….everything kept me hooked! Charlee and Grady were the perfect couple, opposite attracts almost. They each had great qualities but when they come together, it’s like a firework show! Let’s not forget this is a SINGLE-DAD romance and well I am a sucker for single-parent romances! Overall this book and story just made me feel happy, there was a couple of instances it was hard for me to okay it wasn’t hard I just there was couple of this I did not enjoy and they were so small after a few pages I forgot about them all together.

To me, he was Grizzly. To the world, I would learn, he’s someone else completely. I should have died on that mountain. But he rescued me. More animal than man, he’s cold, distant, and fiercely territorial. He seems to hate me for simply breathing, and yet, he brought me back to life. After my return to the city, I can’t stop thinking about him. His rough hands, intense glare, and the way he cared for me as if I meant something to him. He tells me he’s dangerous. That I’m not safe around him. I would eventually understand why he warned me away. But by then it’s too late. My heart is his.
RELEASE DATE: May 18, 2021
BRAND NEW author to me! And guess what I freaking fell so much in love with this I can NOT wait for more, although I wish I can get more of these two but more in the series I will take! I am too excited about this book to know where to start, it did make it on my TOP 2021 because of so many reasons but mainly because the story-line and hero/heroine…okay heck everything about it to be honest. It was a unique enough for me story line, yes the trope is enemy-to but it was so much more than that. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about the heroine at the beginning it was a little rough start but she grew on me so fast and by the end of it, I understood her so much and was proud of her.
The hero Alexander ‘Grizzly’ North is a unique man. At first I really just was drawn to his ‘i was born in the woods and raised by wolves look’ but then it got even worse when I found out more of the truth, I went wild for him. (see what I did there…wild…get it..) The heroine Jordan is a woman down on her luck, well mainly because she just found out something that shocked her but not truly surprised her. What does she do, she goes off into the woods to do the hike all on her own, she is experienced hiker but it’s close to the winter and conditions weren’t really on her side. When she wakes up from thinking she possibly died, she at first may have wished she was. Their encounter in the cabin is ‘interesting’ to say the least. When she returns to the city, things are more clear including her feelings. Grizzly kind of saves her more than once and honestly their relationship is anything but normal. Their past really is messy and muddy but the heart wants what the heart wants, Jordan I’m sure would say.
I was hanging on every page. Didn’t know what was coming next. Good surprises, Sad surprises. And Scary Surprises. Both having a messy past, but in the now, they truly do belong to one another in every possible way. I enjoyed watching these tow try and find the road together. I won’t give out too much but will tell you that this is SO WORTH IT TO READ and invest in. I can’t wait for more even though one of the twin brother’s I want to smack all the time, it’ll be interesting to see if they get a story!

Although the writing style was nothing something I was able to click with I did enjoy the story and characters very much. It was fun, cute, suspenseful, romantic and sweet. The H&H are very different yet same in sort of ways. The hero is very protective, alpha and man-ly if you will while the heroine has been keeping to herself and alone, but the heroine in this was very strong as in kept herself going and up during everything she has and is going through. There is a little but of a adventure in this and some twists. All in all I am glad I gave it a shot and wish the author the best.

BRAND NEW to me author. I actually saw this on one of the PR sign-ups and read the blurb and really wanted to have the chance to early review. So happy when I did receive it. Even thought his is book 6 in the series, I really was able to get the full feel OF the story and a little of the other characters. I am not sure if this can be read as a standalone because this is the ONLY book I’ve read in the series.
This was a little different in my eyes, yes the H&H are in the same town, met and everything romance and magical but the heroine did end up leaving the town while the hero stayed behind because he was up for a promotion for the Fire Chief. So for a while when the heroine left I was thinking to myself what will happen, how will they work. Even though it wasn’t my favorite style, I still enjoyed it. This is where the previous book characters came in and of course since I didn’t read the other’s it was a little harder to fit in if you will. Very sweet story and glad I still gave it a chance. Best of luck in everything to the author.

BRAND NEW to me author. He reached out regarding a honest review and after reviewing the blurb and asking a few questions I was very interested in reading. So glad I gave this a chance, it was something different for me and my normal reads but in a good way.
It is more of a suspense-romance which are my favorite and this contained a good amount and more. Liam Marone the hero is a very interesting but normal guy, he works, he has friends, does all the normal things a man would….but somehow he is very interesting, like the fact that he keeps a gun next to his bed and his paranoia is in the high percentage. When he gets a call from his twin-sister, he is on the first flight out back to LA to help with their mother. Emma Christine Baker the heroine is a event-planner and flying home for her brother’s wedding and happens to be in the same airport at the same time. I was a little 50/50 on Emma and Liam’s meeting and attraction, Emma was not his type, even though he was physically attracted still to her, not sure how I felt about all that part. That said, when Liam misses his flight and there is a huge upcoming storm, Liam is stranded and runs into Emma again…that’s when things get interesting because she offers to share her hotel room (there were none available anymore) and they spend 3 days holed in the room. They really get to know each other and more, but on the 4th day Liam wakes up alone with just a note from Emma. But the questions is, is Liam ready to go after her? Ready to peruse anything with a woman? That’s where you find out and more.
This was a very well written book, I say that because not many times can I click with the writing style no matter how good the story is. This kept me engaged and transitions were very smooth so I enjoyed just reading, simple as that. The characters are complex enough to where you want to know more about them. The chemistry between h&h is different but good, and their adventure together is equally to their own lives that you get a glimpse of. Again, I am glad I gave this a chance and it also so happens to be my first male author (in a very very long time) that I have read and enjoyed. Thank you Nathan!

“You taste like Heaven and sent from Hell. Which one are you, sweet girl? My prize or my incarceration?”
-Theo
NEW to me author but I have had a few of her books in my TBR for a while, this one I saw on a sign up and just had a feeling, and I AM SO GLAD I DID! Gosh, I was up until almost 1am finishing this. I never wanted it to end. I also did not know this had a PARANORMAL feel to it as well, and I was happily shocked how much I loved it in every aspect.
My View: I don’t even know where to begin because I rather not spoil anything because in the end the beginning will make so much sense. This had all the dark and suspense feels, the alpha hero, the young heroine that was lost…in reality and her mind. She does not have any family and a best friend that is both a friend and foe. She is a artist with a unique eye and there is a reason behind it. She can’t seem to fall asleep without pills and when she does, she has horrific nightmares but also arousing ones. That’s all I am going to say about that, because nothing is as it seems and when you think you maybe have it figured out, you don’t! The paranormal in this really took me by surprise at how much I liked it. Everything was a suspense, mystery, unknown yet I couldn’t take my eye off of the pages. I connected with everything this book is. THE HERO, I want to talk about him only a little because well we don’t want to give out to much. He is the tall, dark and handsome AND LOYAL man that you want. A anti-hero if you will but with reason, he would never hurt his PRETTY GIRL. There are events happening in this book that even though I do not have triggers regarding this but it’s gets pretty gruesome in a beautiful way if that makes sense. Really wish this was a trilogy, I’d be happy with that for sure but I can’t wait to read more from this author.
“I’d do anything for you. Even if it means breaking you, to bring you back to me.”
-Theo
Little about the book: This is a dark, suspense, mystery, paranormal ROMANCE. The heroine is a young talented and beautiful woman. A woman lost in her own mind and dreams, a woman with a unique look into art and a love for animals. She has this cute little dog who is just plain adorable through out the book. She is living a life she thinks is normal, when nothing is as it seems. She doesn’t have a lot, no family, n real friends, but she was left something at least, from her late uncle who she has never met but she is thankful for, to be able to live out her dream as a artist. The hero is everything you want from this style of book, dark, mysterious, all about the heroine, smart, mighty and handsome. Their dates are the sweetest and the SLOW BURN in a real burn! If you want to hang onto every page and not know what’s coming or know what anything is, mixed with beautiful pain, love and sexy?! This is for you, I would ever so highly recommend this book!

For years, I watched her. Drank her in as she performed in front of an empty theatre, pretending every seat was occupied, the cello settled between her legs as her dainty fingers made love to the strings…one beautiful note after the other. She thought she was alone, that no one heard her play. But I did. I heard every note, every tune, every vibrato. It drowned out the voices. Silenced the demons. It gave me peace. I’d hide in the shadows so I could get high on the music that stemmed from her soul. It was entrancing. Beautiful. Utterly hypnotic. She has no idea that I exist—that I live for the nights she performs for me, and me alone. But she will. Soon she’ll realize how important she is to me. My cellist. My soloist. My Requiem.

“This is the only reason I won’t be killing the man who had you first.” I whimpered as he leaned down, his lips brushing gently against mine. “Because now there’s no need for me to be gentle. I can do what I want to do.” He kissed me –no tongue, no open mouth, just a tender kiss. “And right now, I want to fuck you, my sweet, beautiful cellist. Now, be a good girl and turn around. Get on your hands and knees.”
Not my first read by the author but I have only read one other and it’s been a while. So I dove into this as new to me. And BOY WAS I NOT READY. I don’t read dark romance often but this blurb and cover just had me wanting to reach through the screen. So glad I picked it up and had the chance to read it early. As you can see below this did make it on my TOP 2021 MUST READS!
she was a job. a contract. nothing more.
My feels: The book really starts of with a bang….and after that I was not expecting anything but going with the flow. It was emotional right of the bat and only got more emotional and intense. Suspenseful, addicting, dangerous and heartbreaking. That is the best way to describe this whole book. The heroine was just plain beautiful, quiet, dealt a really shitty hand in life, lost her mother and the only thing that she has left is a old cello that she plays at night when the theater is closed (she works at that same theater) but little did she know the devil himself was watching her, listening to her melody she produced that soothed his soul. I really was not prepared on what will happen when they actually first met, I won’t be giving away too much even though I want to because it was so ALL THE FEELS. I felt every single emotion, the connection between H&H, the hurt in Hero’s life and his alpha-ness (is that a word?) I mean he was strong, assertive, sexy, dark, mysterious, demanding yet with the heroine strict in a romantic but stern way. I just really fell in love with everything from page one, my idiot self did not look well enough to know this is a 2 or more book part and so when the cliffhanger came I was not ready and DMed the author asking her how she dare haha. CANT’T WAIT FOR MORE for sure!
p.s. this is ANTI-HERO HEAVEN!!
About the book: This is a dark-mafia romance, there is killing and more. The hero is THE MUSICIAN and the heroine his LITTLE CELLIST. It’s two different souls that happen to be more related than they think. The hero is very good at what he does, but his weakness is the heroine and the music she produces. One night when he makes the mistake of gifting the heroine something and speaking with her. She spooked and things proceeded to go a lot faster than planned. After all the hero has known the heroine for a few years, she just didn’t know any of it. After losing her mother and not having a father in her life, she really just lives minimal and tries to take it day by day. Sad, depressed, alone, lonely…but day by day. When things seem to pick up THEY REALLY pick up, you are catapulted into a world that might scare you a bit but you want to be part of!

RELEASE DATE: April 22, 2021
NEW to me author and books.
This was rather quiet emotional, I was not expecting that. Charity was an amazing heroine, and I loved everything about her. The hero Finn was equally loved but what I enjoyed the most is them together. Two broken people coming together, and it was very beautiful…a hard road but beautiful. The story goes from the heroine needing help, to the hero not being sure what to do with her, to the hero being very protective over the heroine. And they take a adventure that’s filled with angst, romance, sweet, beautiful and hard moments!
I am so glad I gave this a chance, will be reading more by the author.
