The Ruthless Groom Release Blast & Review

 

The Ruthless Groom by Monica Murphy is now live!

 

I didn’t plan to marry a reclusive heiress. Lucky for me, I find myself attracted to my beautiful new bride. Our arranged marriage connects two powerful companies. That we’re compatible between the sheets is a bonus, but I didn’t bargain on her ex showing up at the wedding reception uninvited.

That pushed me right over the edge.

I protect what’s mine, and Charlotte is now mine, whether she likes it or not. Our honeymoon is a disaster in paradise. I’m angry. She’s resentful. All those swirling emotions explode in the most physical ways.

But even as I’m drawn closer to my new wife, there’s still a threat looming out there. Seamus McTiernan is determined to destroy what we’ve created.

I won’t let anything tear us apart.

He has no idea who he’s dealing with. I will end him.

Watch me.

My Review

Oh hot dog!! I am so digging Perry and Charlotte and couldn’t wait to get more of their story after we left off at the end of The Reluctant Bride. Luckily The Ruthless Groom, book 2 in the Arranged Marriage trilogy, picks right up where it left off. I was just as drawn into this second installment of Perry and Charlotte’s trilogy as I was the first. I will say this story is packed full of delectably dirty scenes, engaging storyline and fantastic characters. 

This book finds Perry and Charlotte reaping the benefits of their arrangement and giving into their explosive chemistry. But a blast from Charlotte’s past brings out a more jealous, possessive, and distrustful side of Perry we hadn’t seen before. I would say we’re for sure seeing Winston Constantine’s brother and the son of Caroline Constantine. He may have some struggles but he’s super protective and territorial over what is his, and his new wife is his in every way. 

How will Charlotte and Perry navigate their growing feelings while also battling distrust towards each other? I loved seeing deeper into these characters.  As the layers are being peeled back, and as they are beginning to question if their arranged marriage could have the potential to be more than either of them could have ever imagined. 

Y’all! Protective Perry is Positively Perfect! Even when he is frustrating me, I’m obsessed with him. These two are like the seventh circle of hell hot. They go at each other when they are mad and each can give as good as they get. They are angry at their situation at the lack of control they have over their own lives. But either way they are fantastically explosive together. I find myself wondering when I turn to the next page will there be fighting or you know… 😏

This book has tons going for it but it ends on a jaw dropping cliffhanger. You MUST read The Reluctant Bride before reading this book. Neither is super long but they are addictive so trust me when I say you will plow right through them. Here are just a few things you can expect from The Ruthless Groom. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Phenomenal Five Star Read

🖤 A Billionaire Alpha Hero who will frustrate you

💍 Arranged Marriage

💕 A beautiful and sweet heroine

🖤 The unforgettable Midnight Dynasty world.

🔥Scorching Hot Scenes 

🌪 Surprising Twists

Hey, Mr. Marshall Release Blitz & Review

Release Date: June 14

At eighteen, Poe Blyton’s life is in shambles and the reason is Alaric Marshall.

After her mom’s death, he appeared out of nowhere and became Poe’s controlling guardian. When she protested his tyranny, he had the audacity to send her away to an all-girls reform school. A school full of iron clad rules and regulations.
But at least she’s graduating soon.
Until Alaric himself arrives at the school as the new principal and takes that away from her as well.
That devil.
He’s really asking for it, isn’t he?
And Poe is going to give it to him.
It doesn’t matter that her sworn enemy has the prettiest dark eyes she’s ever seen. Or that he looks really, really good in his boring tweed jackets. So much so that she wants to rip them off his body and see what’s underneath.
Because scorching hot or not, her new principal or not, Poe is going to ruin Alaric’s life.

NOTE: This is a complete STANDALONE set in the world of St. Mary’s Rebels.

My Review

Holy Slow Burn Deliciousness y’all!! Hey, Mr. Marshall, book 4 in the St. Mary’s Prep series is here and it is unforgettable, unputdownable, and absolutely delectable. This enemies to lovers, guardian/ward, principal/student story may be slow burn but it sure sucks you in from the very first sentence until the last. It will have you hanging on every single word as you run the gamut of feels in this angsty and emotional tale. 

From the day Poe Blyton met her new guardian, Alaric Rule Marshall she has hated him. He is cruel and heartless. He sent her away from the boy she loved to St. Mary’s school after all. Now he has taken a position as the new principal and held up her graduation for the summer. She doesn’t understand why he hates her so much that he wants to make heer as miserable as possible but she is determined to find out. I love Poe’s sassiness and badassiness. Really I just love her overall vibe. She is so loving and caring with her friends. She is talented and generous. She guarded because of her past and once you start learning more about her you can’t help but want her to have everything amazing life has to offer. She deserves the best kind of book HEA there is. 

Alaric is so aloof and glacial at times. I just had to know what happened to make him this way. I really liked how the story unfolded and we got more and more of the history behind why he is the way he is and holy cow… my poor heart. 

Ms. Kent put me through so many stages of feelings with this book. I would be sad for Poe and Alaric’s characters, then giddy from their banter, then frustrated, then devastated, and then panting because it was so flipping hot. I felt all the feels. I could not put it down. I devoured every single word. This story has a dual POV. We get more chapters from Poe’s POV But I love that we get some chapters from Alaric’s too. I really like getting to be in their heads while they are struggling with developing feelings for one another and what to do or not do with those feelings. 

The banter in this book was all kinds of sinful and mesmerizing. Alaric may have been struggling to come to terms with how wrong his feelings for her were but when he lost control of his mouth… GOOD GAWD!! 😳 He’s dirty mouthed AF and I’m here for every single filthy word. When they finally did “throw down” it was hotter than late July down here in my neck of the woods. (Georgia aka. The Dirty Dirty South) 🔥🥵🔥

I am super excited because of the little nugget of a teaser the author gave us for the next book to come. I’m jonesing for it already.

𝓥𝓮𝓷𝓰𝓮𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮 𝓸𝓯 𝓪 𝓜𝓪𝓯𝓲𝓪 𝓠𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷 is now LIVE and available to download FREE from Kindle Unlimited! It’s my new dark, drama-filled enemies-to-lovers stand-alone mafia romance!

𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍

𝙁𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙢𝙮 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙮 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣…

Losing my innocence at thirteen, in the most brutal way, changed me. My kidnapper stole my childhood and tried to break me. The knowledge my father orchestrated the entire situation hardened my heart, and instead of grieving his death, I celebrated it.

One down. Many more to go.

My burning need for revenge has only grown over the years, keeping me focused on my goals and enabling my rise to power.

Made men are weak. A pretty face and the promise of a good time easily distracts them.

Now, I’m in charge.

Men bow before 𝘮𝘦.

Except for 𝘩𝘪𝘮—the brother of my abductor. Massimo fights me every step of the way, but I’m not about to let the explosive chemistry between us deter me from my chosen path. His family is my enemy. 𝘏𝘦 is my enemy, even if he doesn’t know it yet.

I won’t stop until all those who wronged me are punished.

By the time they realize I’m coming, it will be too late.

They tried to take everything from me.

But where they failed, I will succeed.

Unless 𝘩𝘦 becomes 𝘮𝘺 weakness.

My Review

Holy Freaking Moly!! This is truly a masterpiece the likes of which I have never read anything quite like before. Siobhan Davis delivers her most remarkable and unforgettable story to date!! I absolutely love how she has really got into her writing groove when it comes to writing dark mafia romance but this story was something even more uniquely unexpected. I went in fully expecting it to be flipping amazing. But amazing doesn’t even begin to capture just how phenomenal this story truly was. 

An unforgettable heroine with a past so devastating and tragic I was shook but couldn’t step away because this story was so addictive and I was beyond immersed in Catarina’s story. I couldn’t put this book down. I had to know what happened that made her who she is and why she was the way she is now as an adult. How she became the very embodiment of revenge and retaliation. I love how her character is written. How she encompasses everything throughout her journey, hurt and heart, hatred and healing. She’s complex and all consuming and so well written. Unlike any character from any book I have ever read before. Totally unique and one I will not soon forget. 

Massimo is the perfect man for her. He saw her for what she was and wanted her to see herself as he did. He wanted her to see him as the perfect King to her Queen. He was just enough Alpha and strong but at the same time patient and firm but not cruel. He knew just how to handle her. The chemistry between these two was utterly explosive. I’m trying not to give anything specific away here as that is not nice in my opinion. The deliciousness is in the details my friends and let me tell you this author spared NO.ATTENTION.TO.DETAILS and I will let her deliver those to you with her words in this wonderful book. It was IMO perfection! 

If you need a fantastically fabulous book to kick start your summer… Vengeance of a Mafia Queen has it all. 

✔️Dark and Deliciously Dynamic Characters

✔️An unforgettably phenomenal storyline

✔️Scorching Hot Chemistry 

✔️Twists and Turns for Days

✔️Amazing Attention to Details

✔️Heartbreak 💔, Healing ❤️‍🩹 , and a HEA

If you read nothing else this month read VOAMQ!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Say It’s Forever

A Close Proximity, Single Parent Romance from A.L. Jackson
Available Now on Amazon and Free with Kindle Unlimited

My loves! It is HERE! I am so excited to share SAY IT’S FOREVER with the world! I’m so in love with these beautiful characters, and I can’t wait for you to fall in love with them, too! 

“Oh my heart and my soul……this book took both and I’m never getting them back!”
-Melissa ❤️ bookaddict_fanatic

“Dark, gritty and undeniably sexy, this romance stole my heart and didn’t let go until the very end.”
-Kelly, Goodreads Reviewer
 

TITLE: SAY IT’S FOREVER
RELEASE DATE: MARCH 28TH, 2022
 
Synopsis
 
From NYT and USA Today bestselling author A.L. Jackson comes a close proximity, single-parent stand-alone romance about a woman on the run and the man who will do anything to save her…

Jud Lawson found me stranded in the rain.
Broken down on the side of the road in a deserted neighborhood with my piece of crap car. 
I wasn’t looking for a hero, and definitely not one who looks like him.
An obscenely hot, mountain-of-a-man who screams danger.
But I have little choice other than climbing onto the back of his bike.

One look at Salem Aguilar, and I’m hooked. 
The girl is devastation wrapped in a black, seductive bow. 
A knockout. 
A dream. 
Turns out, she needs a job, and I need the help. 
Now I have a vixen strutting around my shop, and I’m the fool who’s itching to reach out and take what he can’t have.  

But neither of us can ignore the burning attraction. 
The fire that leads to a kiss. 
A kiss that has us falling into my bed. 
The connection that has me wanting the one thing I’d never thought I could have again.
Because monsters like me don’t deserve love. 

Only Salem has a secret, too. 
She’s been running for years, and her past just caught up to us…  

 
 

My Review

OMG!! My book lovin’ friends. If you loved Give Me A Reason, like I did, you are going to die over Say It’s Forever. Because… Jud+Salem+Junie = PERFECTION 🥰

Jud is a broken bad boy. Tragically flawed and feeling undeserving due to a pretty traumatic childhood then a devastating loss in more recent years. This has left him void of any desire to be able or willing to become emotionally attached. Or so he thought. One night on the side of the road a dark haired vision with a broken down car changes everything he thought he knew about himself and the stipulations he set for his life. 

The more he is around her the more he can’t keep his hands off of her. He is grumpy yet protective.He is by no means anyone’s hero, but he can’t help but to want to help her out. Something about her just calls to him. Like magic,  “Black Fuckin’ magic.”😈

🎶Put your black magic over me…I never gave up so easily… 🎶

You can’t help but fall for Jud. He’s just so manly. So big and burly and alpha. The way he loves his brothers and how he is with his nephew. My heart legit MELTED INTO GOO! 😍 Violent yet still sexy and swoony. Sharp edged but still sensitive and sweet with Juni. He knows he’s falling but he feels like she is hiding something. Something in her past that could potentially hurt their chances at a future. 

Salem has been running for years. Never letting herself remain in one place long enough to put down any roots or make any connections. Life is all about keeping her and her daughter safe. So when her brother promises her safety suggesting she and Juni come live with him and her MiMi in Redemption Hills, she prays this is finally the safety she’s been longing for. When she is rescued by Jud and then he has a job opening it really seems like things are falling into place for Salem. She never expected the feelings Jud would invoke in her though. She CANNOT get involved with a temperamental grump like him, or anyone else for that matter.  

This story is full of explosive💥 Chemistry like no other from right off the bat after they meet. Every interaction between them was addictive, it sucked me right into their world. I was fanning myself and getting all red in the face. Clutching my imaginary pearls, cause good lort it ‘twas’ hawt!!  🥵🔥💥The writing was phenomenal and engaging. You could really feel the characters’ internal struggles. Jud because of his past he doesn’t feel deserving of a happy future and Salem doesn’t feel she will ever be anywhere long enough to build a future before she’s onto the next place. I loved getting more with Trent, Gage, Eden, Logan, and even Tessa. I can’t wait for Logan’s book and would love it if we can get a Tessa story somewhere too? 🤞🏻Fingers crossed. 🤞🏻FIVE it’s FOREVER STARS⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beyond the Team Release Blitz & Review




Title: Beyond the Team
Series: Out of Reach #4
Author: Kaylee Ryan
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 8, 2022

BLURB
Griffin


All it takes is four days to change my carefully planned-out life. Four days to fall for Peyton Monroe. Four days to convince her to give me… us a chance.

Before her, baseball was the center of my world. Being the best. Getting a full-ride scholarship. Getting drafted. Going pro. But from the moment my frisbee lands at her feet on the beach, I can’t stop thinking about her.

She’s beautiful, funny, smart… and lives thirteen hours away. Long-distance love is a complication I should avoid, but staying away from Peyton is not an option. This goes beyond the team and my love of the game.

Peyton

I’m looking to get away, not searching for love. But it all but lands at my feet on spring break anyway. A beach full of hot guys, and of course I find myself falling for a handsome baseball player.

Griffin Anthony’s charming smile draws me in. We fall hard and fast, but when it’s time to say goodbye, he tries to convince me that we can make this work long distance.

Now I’m torn between following tradition and playing it safe or throwing out the rule book and following my heart across the miles. He wants me to trust our connection. Can I risk my heart?

My Review

I absolutely love an insta-attraction, a meet on vacation romance. Add in a little long-distance, sports romance and you’ve got a delicious mix of the perfect story, ones like Peyton and Griffin’s. 

From the very first time they saw each other they had instant chemistry, making for a fun, flirty, sweet and swoony tale. I just loved how instantly they felt a connection even if they felt like they needed to fight it because of distance and other factors. 

I love how family and friends was once again such a big theme throughout this book as we are used to with this series. Griffin and Peyton were loyal, loveable and just really good people. Just wanted them to get together. It was refreshing to have a book boyfriend that was a sweetheart, good to his momma and talked a little dirty. So HAWT!! 

This was just enough a sweet, swoony and steamy story to keep me engaged and entertained from start to finish. Fans of a low angst  sports romance with real and relatable characters grab this series and especially Beyond The Team today!! Five Fastball Stars!!⚾️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Temptation of Dirty Secrets Review

Captivating. Vulnerable. Agonizing. Seductive. Frankie Clermont was supposed to be like a sister to me for as long as I’d known her.

But no one knew the depths of our lies.

I had been in love with her before… before everything changed what we could be.

Undeniably connected and effortlessly infatuated, the two of us had remained each other’s weaknesses through everything.

I couldn’t afford to allow her to be my weakness anymore. I was in love with someone else. I was engaged.

But it didn’t matter how much time had passed, the moment I saw her again, I knew I would never escape her.

I never should have touched her again. Whispering her name in the dark was a mistake.

She was still everything I wanted and nothing I should have had.

We became a secret that neither of us could keep.
A devastating secret that would destroy everything.

Frustratingly Fantastic, Tantalizingly Torturous, and Heartbreaking as much as was heart-healing, this conclusion to Olly and Frankie’s story was unputdownable, and unforgettable. An unbelievable mix of angst and agony to my heart, but one that I would willingly subject myself to over and over again. The story that started unfolding by dropping little hints from the very beginning of The Boys of Clermont Bay series, showed us that something was always there between Olly and Frankie. Those little nuggets Holly Renee had been planting had me jonesing (and not always so patiently) for their time to tell their story and let me tell y’all. It.Was.So.Worth.The.Wait. 

I spent a big portion of this book torn between wanting to climb inside my kindle and smack Olly and Frankie upside the heads and knocking some sense into them-and then the other parts enabling every ounce of restraint I possessed to ensure I didn’t chuck my kindle at the wall out of frustration, because they spent so much time apart.Time that maybe they shouldn’t have had to. If only…

But truly in their times apart they both grew and learned things in their own way. They had different views on what they were and what they could become. They both grew and matured on their own, but in totally different ways. Frankie had realized what she truly deserves in her life and that was the only thing she was going to settle for going forward in her life. Olly finally realized what he needed to do to be the man Frankie deserves and prioritized his life accordingly.

While it was gut wrenching for these two characters as well as it was for me being so invested in their journey, I knew it was essential that they traveled those bumps and turns along the way to get to the place where they were truly meant to be. And that place was PERFECT!! 

I can’t say enough about not only this duet but this entire series. If you haven’t started it, there is no better day that TODAY!! If you have been following all along then grab this phenomenal conclusion that was years in the making. Pour you some wine, 🍷 grab a bar of dark chocolate, 🍫 and a box tissues and get ready for an emotionally beautiful read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Seduction of Pretty Lies Release & Review

He was intense and all-consuming, and I had been in love with him for years.

The Seduction of Pretty Lies, the first book of an all-new intense and angst-filled duet from Holly Renee is available now!

Devoted. Loyal. Shameless. The Boys of Clermont Bay had been my protectors for as long as I could remember.

And Olly Warner took the job to heart.

He was intense and all-consuming, and I had been in love with him for years.

Alarmingly handsome and recklessly charming, he attempted to deny there was ever anything between us.

But we slipped over that invisible line, and the moment we gave in, something fractured.

He was leaving regardless, and I couldn’t hang on tight enough for the both of us.

Olly had always been the boy I could never have, but I couldn’t help losing myself in him.

A searing affair, the guarantee of a broken heart, and the desperation of careless promises.

Olly and I were never meant to be, and we had become nothing more than a pretty lie.

My Review

Oh Holly! What have you done to me?! I have been craving Olly and Frankie’s story since the first book in the Boys of Clermont Bay series. While the other books so far are fabulous, this is just another level of awesome. Olly and Frankie just hit differently. The addictive trope combination of being a friend’s to lovers, plus a forbidden romance tied together with a Best Friends Sister. Ah-may-zing!! 

Olly has been best friends with Beck, Frankie’s older brother since they were kids. But Olly is also a best friend and protector to Frankie. Especially after she goes through some stuff. Olly is gorgeous, sweet, swoony, a bit dirty, and just everything!! The way he only had eyes for Frankie but wasn’t willing to risk his friendship with Beck, so frustrating and devastating. Frankie is beautiful, strong, sassy, and perfect. She has loved Olly from afar for what feels like forever. She doesn’t want to hurt her brother but she darn sure wants to get her man.

When they are together they just complete each other in a way that no one else could. Thank heavens for stolen moments. When they were around each other with their friends they were legit silently pining and mourning the loss of what they could be, if only they had the freedom to do so. It hurt my heart y’all! 🥺 

Now, I am a firm believer in inevitable love. I just have to hope and believe after all is said and done that they can find a way to make this work. They have this undeniable chemistry, but their connection is rare and pure at heart. It’s so all encompassing that it jumps out and grabs you and is not going to let you go until their story is done being told. Right now though… god I need the next book. I’m a mess. 🥺😭😥😩 

This book put me through the spin cycle. I was obsessed with every word in this book. My heart literally melted, broke, and swooned.  I was kindle throwing kinda frustrated at times. But when I tell you this book is hot!! 🥵🔥 OMG! I’m talking like a fresh batch of Granny’s biscuits and gravy, hot! 🔥🥵 Olly is a total sweetheart to Frankie but he’s also a very very dirty boy. There is not enough Orbit gum to clean up his dirty mouth. I wouldn’t change it either because the stuff his mouth was spewing turned this book into a bonafide “panty chucker” and that means go ahead toss them drawers when you walk in the door, because you for sure won’t be needing them! 💥

“Let me tell you what I would do,” he growled, and I couldn’t look away from him. “I would fuck you until my cum was running down your legs and you could still feel my hand on your throat after I walked away.”

Holly Renee is gonna shred your feelings but she is also a master literary seamstress so I know she can mend my poor heart back by the time The Temptation of Dirty Secrets ( which I need like I need air to breathe) is released. This book is phenomenal, but go in knowing this story is a duet and all conflicts are NOT resolved within this book. I’m gonna make it because I know the next book isn’t too far off and just know it will be worth the wait. It’s a Five Stars with a huge grip on my heart, read! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend this as a series you don’t want to miss.

Grudge Review

Grudge, the highly anticipated conclusion to the Malice Mafia Trilogy is AVAILABLE NOW!!

About the book:

Malice was a broken man. A leader with a cracked crown.

Guilt was eroding his throne.

William was an opportunist. A man with a grudge.

Ambition dressed in an iron suit.

Anthony was a survivor. A lover with hope.

Healing wrapped in good intentions.

I’m a pawn, and it’s up to me to remind these men that they’re stronger together.

I just pray that this fight for power won’t tear us all apart

HOLY SWEET HELL!! 😱 Could this book be anymore perfect?! CoraLee has masterfully wrapped up the Malice Mafia trilogy in a way that will gut you, consume you, devastate you, frustrate you, but one hundred percent leave you feeling utterly fulfilled. This final installment will get you so far up in your feelings, y’all get ready. 😭🥺😭 The devastation this book delivers dang near killed me. Prepare yourself to see these characters undergo so much growth. We legit see completely different and better ( who would have thought they could get more awesome??) sides to them. Such darkness we saw from them in the past two books gives way to some light and softer sides we hadn’t seen from them before. 🥰

Nick “Malice” Civella is unexpectedly willing to give up everything for his Juliet. Pride and competitive drive to beat his big brother just might cost William everything, and Anthony the unpredictable psychopath who has completely stolen our hearts will be the glue that holds everyone together with his loyalty and comedic relief. But the biggest transformation is from Juliet. This gal will show you just how strong she truly is and will put those Civella boys in their place. 💪🏻They will learn to put up or shut up when she lays down what she will take and what she will not. I loved to see this side of her. She is most def the queen boss now. 👑

This entire book had me hooked. I was already addicted to the guys, Juliet and Grams before but now it’s on a whole other level. I laughed and I cried. I got angry at times and the angst about did me in. But this book hurt my heart as much as it healed it. I got the exact closure I needed. If I could have special ordered exactly what I wanted in the wrap up for this series it would be exactly what CoraLee delivered. Actually that’s not true. CoraLee gave me things I didn’t even know I needed and more. There was absolutely some super devastation in this story as well, but I’m not mad. I think for these characters to end up where they were destined to go we had to endure the heartbreaking parts of their journey too. 

Full of suspense, surprises, fighting and gore, sinful deliciousness, and unpredicted softer and sweeter moments out of our irredeemably redeemed Civella men. Grudge will close this series in the most extraordinary of ways. The engaging and phenomenally gifted writing by CoraLee June will keep you entranced from beginning to the very end, where you will sigh, cry and reluctantly let these characters go. Then you will be left feening for the next book by CoraLee, which can’t come soon enough for me.  All the stars in the galaxy for Grudge.  ⭐️✨💫⭐️✨💫⭐️✨💫⭐️✨💫⭐️✨💫⭐️✨💫

The Devil and The Deep Blue Sea Release Blitz & Review

 

You don’t really know a guy until you’ve vacationed with him…

When Drew Wilson’s ex-boyfriend Joel “Six” Bailey asks her to go on his family trip to Hawaii with him just as her life is falling apart, she decides it’s the perfect time to give him another chance.

The hitch? The Bailey family includes Six’s rude older brother, Joshua–a hot-nerd doctor who has hated Drew since the moment they met and once suggested she’d steal the family silver.

Drew is determined to win the Baileys over and give this thing with Six a fair shot…but Joshua is making that difficult. Not simply because he is in her way at every turn, but because–as one tropical adventure leads to the next–she’s beginning to wonder if obnoxious, odious Joshua might be the brother she actually belongs with.

My Review

I am obsessed with anything that Elizabeth O’Roark writes. Devil and the Deep Blue Sea was just what I needed in my life right now. It was the most delicious secret, forbidden, hooking up with your ex boyfriend’s brother while on vacation, romance. The journey to love between this gorgeous rockstar -who’s not got her stuff together and hot doctor,  who happens to be the perfect humanitarian and son, is an unforgettably exciting and engaging story. 

I loved the entire dynamic between Drew and Joshua and how they were stuck around each other on the trip. Them being forced to be around each other added many layers to the tension brewing between. It gave this gloriously fantastic tale the absolute best banter ever! These characters are so well written. They are beautifully complex and phenomenally intriguing. I love how they are able to balance each other. Drew is broken in so many ways and even though she couldn’t stand judgemental Dr. Joshua at first, it’s apparent that this man is the one who can fix her broken picked apart pieces and build her back up to everything she’s capable of being and more. Joshua is the most loving and caring son. He’s so annoyed by his brother and determined to be the opposite of his father. He doesn’t like what Drew and his brother stand for, although the more time he spends with her he realizes she’s nothing like he thought. 

I couldn’t get enough of their bickering and banter back and forth. It makes the story flow absolutely flawlessly. The characters are full of heart, depth and emotions. There is just enough humor, steam, banter, and frustration to keep you obsessed from the second you crack the book until the last word is read, and then I promise you still won’t want to let these characters go. I loved getting some more little nuggets of Tali and Hayes.🥰🥰  I’m totally devoted to any “Devil’s” of Elizabeth O’Roark’s. Five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Flipping Fantastic Stars!!

My Review

Oh my goodness!! Talk about mafia magnificence. Alessandro and Serena’s story is like no other in the mafia romance genre. This story is heartbreaking but also healing to its core. This world in which Siobhan Davis has created is unforgettable, the stories unputdownable. 

Serena’s character is rebuilding a life for herself after years of abuse. Her journey is one of self discovery, healing, and so much strength. It’s about realizing your strength that lies within, while dealing with the struggles that go along with trauma. I loved her character and I wanted all that’s good in life to find her and her children. I wanted her to find a partner who would treat her like the treasure she is, and I think Alesso is most definitely the man for the job. 

Alesso was such a fantastic hero in this book. Total slow burn book boyfriend goals. He was so kind, loving and patient. He was a delicious alpha and protector. He was longing for everything only she could give him, and in return he wanted to be there for her and her adorable kids. He gladly fulfilled a missing chunk in their lives. 

Of course… Since this was a Siobhan Davis novel it was jam packed with heart dropping moments, moving fast paced ensuring you didn’t want to stop reading once you had started. I just loved this world and all the H & h’s. This is the perfect time to dive right into the Mazzone Mafia series. Each book focuses on a different couple and gives you a perfect HEA. 🥰

Excerpt

 

ALESSO

She slams to a halt, turning to face me. “I would never deliberately deceive you. That’s not who I am.” Fire underscores her tone, and I like hearing it. 

“I didn’t mean it that way. I know who you are.” 

The saddest expression washes over her features. “If that was true, you wouldn’t be standing here with me now. You wouldn’t be spending time with me each day. You would run a mile if you realized exactly who I am.” 

I risk stepping a little closer. “I have known you long enough to know the kind of woman you are, Serena. I’d like to think you’ve known me long enough to know you could tell me anything, and it wouldn’t scare me away.” Reaching out slowly, I take her gloved hands in my bare ones. “I spend time with you because I enjoy it. I want to get to know you better. I want to support you as you deal with the things you need to deal with.” 

“Why me? I’m too old. Too broken. I have kids. I come with so much baggage I’m completely weighted down with it. I—” 

I can’t listen to her beat herself up any longer, so I place two fingers over her mouth, quietly shushing her as I prepare to negate each of her concerns. “One. You’re not too old, and I’m not too young. Age is just a number, and I refuse to allow stupid societal norms to dictate who I spend my time with or categorize the nature of that relationship. Two. Broken is subjective, and we all have our broken parts, but guess what?” I move my fingers from her lips to her cheeks, silently rejoicing when she doesn’t flinch or shy away. “Broken parts can be glued back together. Three, I adore your kids, and they are the cherry on top. And four, every single person in the world has some kind of baggage. It’s called life.” 

Tears glisten in her eyes, spilling onto her cheeks. “You’re not real,” she whispers. “You can’t be.” 

My heart aches for her because I see the mistrust and disbelief in her eyes. “I’m real, Rena.” Taking her hand, I slip it under my coat and over my shirt-covered chest, where my heart is currently jumping cartwheels in honor of her presence. “I’m as real as it gets.”
