Thank you to Katee Robert, Sourcebooks Casablanca, Raincoast, and for the advance reader copy of Cruel Seduction, the fifth book in the Dark Olympus series. Has this been my most anticipated instalment since Katee announced all the pairings? Yes, yes it was. Did it deliver? Oh yes, yes it did. The idea of managing four characters and their interlocking relationships as friends and lovers – only Katee could manage something like this! I am a Katee Robert review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. He was my enemy. My lover. My husband. And the one man I swore by all Olympus I would destroy. *A scorchingly…

Melanie Harlow’s Hideaway Heart ARC Review
Thank you to Melanie Harlow and her team for the advance reader copy of Hideaway Heart, the second story in the Cherry Tree Harbor series. I just adore Melanie’s small-town romances, she is just so damn good at what she does. Hideaway Heart features a bodyguard falling for his famous client and who doesn’t love that combination? I am a Melanie Harlow review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. All I wanted was a break–two weeks off from being Pixie Hart, country music sensation, and fourteen days of peace, privacy, and solitude as plain old Kelly Jo Sullivan. But thanks to some overzealous paparazzi, my family…

Emily McIntire’s Crossed ARC Review
Thank you to Emily McIntire, Bloom Books, Raincoast, and NetGalley for the advance reader copy of Crossed, the fifth standalone in the Never After series. Crossed is not for the faint of heart, but if you have gotten this far with Emily McIntire’s steamy fractured fairytales then you know what to expect – something dark and twisted. Father Cade has a sinister streak and Amaya is the perfect Esmeralda-esque character, so when their paths cross you get a deliciously dark story. From bestselling author Emily McIntire comes a dark and delicious fractured fairy tale reimagining of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. He is righteousness. She is sin. Father Cade Frédéric is…

Sophie Lark’s Brutal Prince ARC Review
Thank you to Sophie Lark and Bloom Books via NetGalley for the advance reader copy of Brutal Prince, the traditional re-release of the first book in the Brutal Birthright series. This author and this series have been on my TBR for as long as I can remember. I do not really read mafia romance as much as I should, but after reading Brutal Prince I need to clear out a week of my life to binge the rest of the series. This is the perfect mafia book, with two warring families and a deliciously hot arranged marriage. They’re a match made in Hell. The Griffins and the Gallos have been battling…

College student Cassie Soul hasn’t spent an entire summer in Avalon Bay in years, not since her parents divorced and her mother spitefully whisked her away to Boston. Now that her grandmother is selling…

Sara Cate’s The Anti-Hero ARC Review
Thank you to Sara Cate and the team at the Author Agency for the advance reader copy of The Anti-Hero, the first book in the Goode Brothers series. I adore the Salacious Players Club, so when Sara began to tease a new series I couldn’t help but get excited for it. The Anti-Hero plays upon many religious themes, so it is definitely a recommended read for Sierra Simone’s Priest series fans. But don’t worry SPC fans, there is a sex club in this too and so many incredible signature Sara Cate kinky scenes. I’ve been good long enough. As the eldest son of Austin’s most prominent preacher, I’ve lived my life…

Thank you to Devney Perry and her team for the advance reader copy of The Dandelion Diary: A Mason Jar Novella. The Maysen Jar novels are still two of my favourite works from Devney’s backlist. When I found out she was returning to that world I was ready to be emotionally wrecked again.

You can read my review of the first book, The Kingmaker here. I am such a huge fan of this duology and so after re-reading and reviewing the first book, The Kingmaker naturally I wanted to bring you all my thoughts on the sequel. This is a great follow-up, it will bring tears to the eyes of fans as Lennix and Maxim make their way in the world together against every barrier thrown in their way. This story highlights the epidemic of…
