Holy Darkness Y’all! Author Charity Ferrell went down a totally different and mesmerizingly unexpected road than what she has previously taken us down before, and I was there for every dark and deliciously twisted moment of it.
Natalia finds herself desperate. Her recent life choices have put her life in jeopardy. Fear has led her to the doorstep of her BFF’s father, a gorgeous and dangerous leader of the Mafia who she knows can offer her protection, but It comes with a price. A STEEP price.
Cristian Marchetti is everything you’d expect from a mob boss and more. He’s possessive, dominating, and certainly doesn’t take crap from anyone. EVER. Until he gets a challenge practically served up on a silver platter. Sassy little sweet Natalia, couldn’t have know what she was in for when she went to Cristian for help, but he was equally blown away but the feelings she brought out in him.
This back and forth banter filled ride was entertaining and engaging, quickly sucking me into this new series, The Marchetti Mafia. I’m already counting the days until we get Benny’s story. I’m already amazed by the details and development the author put into this dark and new world she’s taken on. What a departure from her previous works and what a great job she did with it. I cannot wait for more. Told in alternating dual POV, Cristian and Natalia’s story has so many of my favorite things. Here are just a few reasons why you MUST read this. ↙️
🖤Best Friends Dad
🔥Mafia/Cartel Romance
🖤Super Possessive/Alphahole Hero
🔥Arranged Marriage

Get Ready To Cry Y’all!! Only Rivals, book one in the Only You series and a second generation spin off of the Blue Beech and Twisted Fox series’ is an enemies to lovers, second chance, love after loss romance. With plenty of angst, steam, and all the feels.
Only Rivals is the journey of Jax and Amelia. His ex… err, almost ex? However the cookie crumbles. His recently dead best friend’s fiancée. This complex dynamic plays such an intricate part of the story. I promise it’s a lot less Jerry Springer and really emotional and engaging to read. Jax is so angry and his character is frustrating at times you want to just shake him but this big tough guy is struggling with some big emotions and as frustrated as I was with him I felt for him so badly too. I needed his vitriol to end though. The level of devastation I was feeling every time he was spewing words of hatred and blame at Amelia was really high. I was like I can’t take it anymore. PLEASEMake it stop!!
But Amelia. Holy Moly. I can’t even imagine. Any of it. But Ms. Ferrell was able to bring in the emotional lows that we needed to connect to Amelia’s character. To sympathize with her. To grieve, to process, to begin to heal right along with her. I really liked her journey. I will be honest my heart literally shattered at times with the hateful things Jax said to her. I was like how much more can one person possibly be broken? It was brutal to read. But that is what made it so much more rewarding when he finally had his awakening and turned his attitude around.
This definitely is steamy and has tension for days. They have plenty of what I call “ banter o’hate” back and forth. They have chemistry which is ready to strike as hot as their tempers when they get near each other. They both are suffering with so much hurt that it’s understandable they would have the ability to actually help each other heal. They have a shared history so in my opinion they seemed like they were always soulmates who just needed to fulfill another purpose. Maybe someone else needed them more for a bit. But in the end, inevitably those who are supposed to be will always find their way back to each other. 4.5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

BOOK BLURB A see yourself out note isn’t how you want to celebrate the morning after your first one- night stand.The first time I meet Archer Callahan is when I block him in a parking spot. The second is a fender bender. The third is at a bar, drinking away our problems, and finding our way to his bed. I never expected to see him again.That changes when a month later, he’s introduced as my brother’s new business partner.In need of a job, I’m hired at their bar, much to Archer’s dismay.We hate each other. We’re off limits. But every time we’re together, flashbacks of that night shake through us.We push, we pull, until one of us breaks.
OMG my lovelies!! Shaken by Charity Ferrell is a heart wrencher , a heart warmer and a heart melter all in one. It was such an amazing reading experience. We got a glimpse of Archer and Georgia in the first of her Twisted Fox series, Stirred, so I knew we had something amazing coming our way. Boy did she deliver too! Ah, the push and pull perfection!😍Archer and Georgia’s story is a perfect blend of so many of my favorite genres. You get your brother’s best friend, second chance, slow-burn, one-night stand to lovers, and enemies to lovers right here in one phenomenal book.
Georgia the spunky, bubbly and sassy ray of smokin sexy sunshine meets Archer in a series of mishaps gone wrong, their chemistry runs as hot as their anger and hatred for each other. Then just when things take an interesting turn after they have a run-in while drinking at the same bar that ends with them in between his sheets, only for him to leave her the next morning with a few words on a page and some coffee and a couple of donuts, and ruins it all. Her hopes of never seeing him again are crushed when she not only finds out that he is her brother’s elusive friend of a few years but his new business partner and one of her new bosses. As much as she hates him, her body sure remembers just how much it does not hate him. Will she be able to crack the code that is this confusing hot and cold man, or Is her heart already too far gone for this infuriatingly sexy jerk?
Archer Callahan is a one of those characters you want to bop upside the head with your kindle. He’s frustrating, but you also want to just give him a big hug too. You can feel that he literally has some serious baggage and my heart broker for him. He had so many people that cared for him and legit wanted to help carry some of that baggage for him so he wasn’t carrying it around all by himself but he just wanted to sit around and suffer in silence instead.Every.Single.Time he hurt Georgia to push her away it broke my heart. As the book went on It totally became apparent why he was the way he was and why he felt he needed to punish himself. Why he felt he wasn’t deserving of any happiness. I loved the way Charity wrote this and it unfolded slowly. It kept us in the frustrated place of longing and want. Pleading for them to get it together. I mean they just had to. They were MEANT TO BE!! They were so hot. Archer was so sexy and swoony and alpha AF even if he didnt realize or want to be.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐️- Archer and Georgia were perfect. This book was everything I hoped it would be and then some.

Oh my gosh you guys! This book was magic! It was pure break my heart, melt my heart, put my heart back together again gold! Jamie and Cohen’s story is gut wrenching at first , but then it gives way to this phenomenally beautiful journey of love, and healing at the same time. Cohen and Jamie’s story is anything but a traditional boy meets girl romance.
From the outside looking in these are two people who are so wrong for each other for many reasons, but from the moment the ran back into each other after five years of not seeing each other every thing about them was inevitable. They simply completed each other, even when they didn’t realize it. They unknowingly made this perfect little family with Noah. There were hold ups though, for both of them. For Cohen the ultimate betrayal and hurt prevent him from seeing the potential of what’s right in front of him. But for Jamie if she gave in to what’s always been there it could cost her every one she cares about.
I don’t want to give any spoilers about this book y’all. It was a really different twist on a forbidden love story.
This single parent romance was full of heart and soul. Charity Farrell packed it full of characters we couldn’t help but to fall instantly in love with and I’m begging for all of their stories. This story brought me to tears so many times. I laughed with these characters and I cried for them. I fanned myself off from the overwhelming heat and sexiness the radiated. 🔥I wanted to jump through the kindle and throttle some of them quite a few times. But mostly I rooted and rooted for them.
I wanted for Cohen and Jamie to be able to fight all the odds stacked against them and be able to make a family with Noah. Will they be able to kick aside all the Heather’s and the “Sprinkle Heirs” of their world and make a go at it or will the pressure be too much for them to handle.

Chapter One Jamie Five Years Later Nine hours down. Three to go. Three hours until I can go home, finish that box of Thin Mints I shouldn’t have bought, and binge-watch a show on Netflix. Netflix and cookies. Netflix and single. Netflix and story of my life. “Tell me he finally agreed?” Lauren, our charge nurse, asks—referring to the appendicitis patient who’s been refusing an appendectomy all night. I nod. “After his wife promised to buy him a new TV.” She scoffs. “I’d love to say someone being bribed to have life-saving surgery is a shocker, but after working in the ER for so long, I’m not easily shooketh.” “Tell me about it.” I glance around the emergency room. “What’s next for me?” It’s been a slow night at Anchor Ridge Memorial Hospital, and as much as that’s a good thing, it can get boring. She points down the hall. “Exam room three. Five-year-old with a fever.” Her tone turns bubbly as she wiggles her shoulders. “Dad is super hot, by the way.” I shake my head and tap my knuckles against the triage desk. “I’ll let you know if I need anything.” “Ask him for his number,” she half-whispers with a thumbs-up. I roll my eyes and dismissively wave my hand. “Absolutely not.” “All work and no play makes Jamie a grumpy doctor.” “Yeah, yeah, yeah.” I spin on my heel and walk to the room. The door is cracked, and I knock, snatching a pair of latex gloves on my way in. “Hello, I’m Dr.—” I stop, stumble back two steps, and cover my mouth with my hand. Holy crap. My body tenses, and as soon as my gaze meets his, his jaw flexes. I struggle for words as anger and disgust line his face. Words I’d planned if this moment ever happened. Unfortunately, those words become a scared bitch and run away. “Cohen,” is all I manage in a whisper. He stands tall from his chair, his narrowed eyes pinned to me, and moves to the side of the bed, blocking my view of the patient. Lauren’s words hit me. “Five-year-old …” My attention slides from Sir Pissed Off, and I shift to the left. “Oh my God,” I whisper, gaping at the little boy in the bed. A little boy whose eyes are sleepy and nose is red and irritated. Those sleepy eyes, a walnut-brown with a slight slant, match his father’s. The same with his thick ash-brown hair. But the dimple in his chin and heart-shaped face match hers. “Is this …?” My hand shakes when I point at him. It’s a dumb question. Even if he says no, he’ll be a liar. “What are you doing here?” he repeats, his tone harsh. If I wasn’t at a loss for words, my smart-ass self would throw out something along the lines of, What do you think, dumbass? I’m sporting a doctor’s jacket with my name embroidered on it. But I don’t. Because I can’t. It’s a challenge, wrapping my head around them being here, let alone dragging out my sarcasm. “I’m your doctor,” I finally say before signaling to the boy. “I’m his doctor.” Sound cool. Confident. You’re the fucking professional here, Jamie. “We want a different doctor,” he hisses, his voice low enough so only I can hear. “I’m the only doctor on shift tonight.” I’m speaking to Cohen, but the boy holds my interest. He’s watching this exchange, his eyes pinging back and forth between his father and me with curiosity on his tired face. “We’ll go to another hospital then.” “Why, Dad?” the boy whines, sniffling. “I don’t feel good, and what if I puke in the car?” “I want another doctor.” His broad shoulders draw back. He raises a brow when I hold up a finger, turn, and scurry out of the room. I rush over to Lauren. “Can you watch the boy in three for a minute? I need to talk to his father privately.” She peeks up at me from her computer and tilts her head to the side. “Yeah … sure.” Cohen is pacing the room when we walk in. “A word,” I say, jerking my head toward the doorway. Cohen’s attention darts to the boy, and he delivers a gentle smile. “I’ll be right back, buddy.” He gives him a quick peck on the head and swings his arm toward the door, his eyes cold. “After you, Your Highness.” Lauren throws me a curious glance when he walks past her, and I shrug as if this isn’t about to be awkward city up in here. As we leave, I hear Lauren asking the boy what his favorite cartoon is. Cohen keeps his distance while I lead us into a private room, the one reserved for breaking bad news to families. I speak as soon as I shut the door., “Cohen—” Too bad he doesn’t let me get more than his name out. Rude. His deep-set eyes level on me. “This is a conflict of interest, Jamie. The nurse can help us. We don’t need you.” “We don’t need you.” The memories of the last time he said those words to me smack into me like a headache. It was the last time I saw him. The last time he looked at me with the same resentment. Either he doesn’t realize how hard his insult hit me or he doesn’t care. I snort, anger biting at me. “What do you think I’m going to do, huh? Kidnap him?” “Considering who you’re related to, who knows?” “Wow.” I clench my fists to hold myself back from smacking him in the face since his words are like a slap in mine. “You have some nerve.” It’d make for some bad headlines if a doctor slapped a patient’s father. There’s no apology on his face when he holds up his hands. “Just saying it how I see it.” “Then allow me to say it how I see it.” I thrust my finger toward the door. “You have a sick son in there, and it’s my job to treat him. Don’t like it? I don’t give a shit.” I shove past him, stalk out of the room, and don’t check to see if he’s following me. “Everything okay?” Lauren asks, her eyes glancing over my shoulder, and I realize Cohen is behind me, still keeping his distance. “Peachy,” I chirp before approaching the bed and smiling down at the boy. “What’s your name, honey?” “Noah,” he croaks. Even though I was sure it was him, my head spins at his confirmation. I tenderly squeeze his arm, and my tone turns cheerful. “Hi, Noah. I’m Dr. Gentry. Can I ask some questions about how you’re feeling?” He nods. Cohen stalks to the other side of the bed, his eyes on me, and Lauren migrates to the corner, her nosy ass interested in this shitshow. “He has a fever,” Cohen tells me, his tone softer. “For how long?” He scratches his scruffy cheek. “Over twenty-four hours.” “Appetite?” He shakes his head. “Not even sugar. I can hardly get him to drink, and he has no energy, which is very rare for him.” “Cough?” “Yes.” His jerk attitude settles while we turn our attention to Noah. I ask question after question as I take his temperature and go through all the motions. “Symptoms tell me it’s the flu,” I say, removing my gloves and tossing them into the trash. “We’ll do a test, and I also want to run some blood work to make sure we’re not missing anything.” Cohen nods. “Thank you.” I smile at Noah. “We’ll get you back to feeling good in no time.” I give Lauren, who’s gathering supplies for the test, a head nod and leave the room. I‘ll definitely be pairing wine with those Thin Mints tonight. Lauren comes scurrying into the doctors’ lounge ten minutes later. “Whoa, what was that about? Dude was super nice to me but acted as if you’d pissed in his Cheerios.” Here goes. A chill sweeps up my neck. “That’s my sister’s ex … and her son … the ones she left.” “Oh, Jerry Springer.”
