Transcending Darkness by Airicka Phoenix
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Juliette Romero is living a life circling hell, her dead fathers debt is never going to end, she is raising her sister, and the three jobs she has are running her ragged. Everything comes to a head when the loan shark she has been making payments to gives her 24 hours to either produce her younger sister or pay up. Juliette knows there is no way she will let her sixteen year old sister be offered to the sleazy man, she comes up with another plan that has herself spending one night with Killian McClary.

Killian didn’t want the woman, but as he was proving a point he takes Juliette. He offers her an out, but she relents and he is surprised that she is a contradiction to the other women he beds. Not able to get their one night out of his mind, he makes Juliette an offer. One year exclusivity, he pays off her debt. He offers more but Juliette refuses. Killian tells himself that since this is a simple agreement no one will notice and Juliette wont be in danger. He couldn’t be more wrong but Killian wont have Juliette put in danger and makes a drastic move, one that will break Juliette’s heart as well as his own.

Exciting read. There are some time issues with the book where it slips into something else but overall a surprising read. I liked this a lot. Wondering if there is going to be a Viola and Saul book. I liked Juliette, she has been living in a shell but something awakens and she turns into this sassy woman. Killian has a dark past he doesn’t want repeated and Juliette threatens that. Had a bit of everything in this book, exciting finish to a story that was not predictable.

“Don’t make me hit you again.” She narrowed her eyes, reaching behind herself and shutting the water off.

“Go ahead. Maybe you hitting me turns me on.” His grin widened as he reached over and pulled her back up to him, her wet, naked body pressed to his.

“You’re always turned on, Alex. I could spit on the ground and you’d get an erection.” She rolled her eyes, pressing her palms against his chest. “I’m sure you have some sort of hormone imbalance.”

“And baby, you’re the only one who can keep it under control.” He pressed his lips to hers, and her body responded immediately. She melted against him. Her lips parted for his tongue, allowing him to kiss her back. When his cock stirred to life, nudging against her stomach, Ellie pulled back, prying her lips away from his.

Dating A Mob Boss by B.T. Love

Dating A Mob Boss by B.T. Love
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After leaving California and trekking to Brooklyn, New York Amber is ready to find a new life for herself. Her adventure starts with finding out the “cute” apartment she rented is really a barely standing apartment unit, and her neighbors are a drug addict and prostitute. Amber takes the challenge though finds a job and tackles her apartment with refreshed ideas.

When she ends up serving Trent Falco at the restaurant she is working at, she is attracted to the man but his cockiness quickly throws her off. Trent wants Amber, he knows she is different, she surprises him at every turn. However, Amber is reluctant to get involved with a Mob Boss and certainly has no plans to get involved with someone who is not completely honest with her. Trent will have to decide if Amber is worth the trust he would need to share his life with.

Although there were times where I thought really? this was a fun book. I liked Amber, she doesn’t have a filter. Trent was a fantastic hero, I liked that he was quite charming and vulnerable where Amber was concerned. Entertaining, I will be checking out more from this author.

Wesley rides back into town, and he quickly realizes Fallon wants nothing to do with him, but will he take no for an answer?

Will Wesley be able to win over Fallon, or will the memories of their past be too much for their future to handle?

 Review

She was the love of his life and now Wesley is back to reclaim what was once his. Fallon though had her world ripped apart and Wesley had walked out of her life the same day, she is not willing to go down that road again.

This was a fun quickie about second chances. Once Wesley realizes what caused Fallon to question his trust and their future, he goes about fixing it in a way that will never have Fallen question him again. Entertaining quick read.

“What can I get y’all boys?” I ask sweetly, still avoiding his eyes. 

“We’ll take a round of SoCo for starters,” the chunky one states with a wink. 

“Five SoCos, comin’ right up,” I say as I go to grab the shot glasses. Then I hear his raspy voice, and my body betrays me. Stop it! Don’t do that! Everything within my body comes alive with the sound of his voice. 

“That’s four shots and a Coke,” Wesley states. I turn on my heels quickly.

“Coke? Are you sure?” I question, and he nods in agreement. “You want it in a shot glass, too?” I ask like the smart ass I’ve become over the years. 

With a husky laugh, he answers, “Whatever you want to do, Pumpkin.” I stiffen at the name, but don’t turn around. I haven’t been called that since the day he rode away. After gathering myself together, I pour him a shot of Coke into a glass. He smiles when I place it in front of him.

“Come on, Pumpkin. Pour yourself one. I think me rollin’ back into town calls for a toast.” I roll my eyes, and then Paige hands me a shot glass of Coke. Raising my glass, I put one hand on my hip and wait for his toast. “Here’s to us, Pumpkin. Past, present, and future.” I clink my glass and when it touches my lips, I quickly realize it’s not Coke, but rather sweet cinnamon that burns the entire way down. I’m thankful to have Paige to count on when I need it most. Slamming down my shot glass when I finish, I turn and walk out of the bar and into the back room, holding myself together until I’m alone.

Cover Reveal: Untangling the Stars by Alyse Miller and Giveaway

Book Title: Untangling the Stars
Author: Alyse Miller
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: May 23, 2016
Publisher: InkSpell
Hosted by: Book Enthusiast Promotions

Even a bad romance can have a happy ending.

Staying true to her own character has never been a problem for Dr. Alessandra Foxglove. Andie has devoted herself to teaching others, and – not to toot her own horn – she’s damned good at it, too. A beloved college professor and engaged social activist, Andie has her heart – and both her hands – full.

So when celebrity bad boy Guy Wilder wanders into her classroom one day by accident, Andie doesn’t think much of it at first. There are guest speakers at the university on a daily basis – although none as devilishly handsome as primetime’s favorite preternatural lady-killer with lightning bolt blue eyes, Silas Dove. But when he shows up again the next day after a capricious goodbye, Andie begins to see that there’s more going on behind the scenes with this brooding, bad boy star. And even though she’s built a career on analyzing the human reaction to Hollywood’s most sexy and dangerous characters, she can’t help herself from falling under the very same spell she preaches against. Besides, with cheekbones like that, she couldn’t say no if she tried.

“MMmm.” His words were lost as his mouth nuzzled against her throat. One warm hand slipped around to cradle her neck in his palm. Andie felt her pulse speed up, felt it shuddering against the pressure of his lips on her skin. Her empty hands fidgeted, then ran up through his hair and curled into tight fists.

Guy groaned against her neck and cupped his free hand under her ass. In one deft movement, he propelled them both forward and dropped her flat on her back against the bed. Andie’s breath pushed out between her lips as Guy ran his hand up her leg from foot to thigh, making her skin sizzle and pop in little goose bumps in his wake. He hung above her, a man bathed in shadow with predator eyes shining in the darkness.

“I guess we both have a little bit of a rebellious streak in us then, huh?”

The woman Andie had been just a few days ago—that wizened academic who knew better than to fall under the spell of some disastrously good-looking hot mess paid to be the most mesmerizing thing he could be—was banging on the inside of Andie’s subconscious, reminding her that this was all moving too fast to be normal. Passionate encounters that led to happily ever after’s were the stuff of carefully curated movie scripts, not intended to ever play out in real life the same way they did on the big screen. They were fantasies, not recipes. She should know better than anyone else that these stories never ended well. But even so, even if she was living out some sort of toxic fantasy, she’d take the risk—and deal with the consequences later.

Alyse Miller is a contemporary women’s fiction author with a penchant for romantic and speculative twists. While she writes comfortably across several genres, Alyse especially enjoys writing for a new adult audience and exploring the emotions of romance and the growth of the human spirit as it transitions from adolescence into adulthood.

She is a member of Romance Writers of America, Women’s Fiction Writer’s Association, and the Author’s Guild. Alyse is currently represented by InkSpell Publishing.

The Renegade’s Heart by Claire Delacroix

The Renegade’s Heart by Claire Delacroix
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Copy gifted by the Publisher in exchange for an honest review

Murdoch is on a quest to reclaim a stolen piece from his family. Having been captive to the Fae Queen for the last three years, he questions everything. Murdoch finds himself seeking help from Isabella, the sister to the man he believes has stolen his property. Isabella doesn’t believe her brother would do such a thing, but Murdoch enlists her help as well as tries to find a way to keep her close. Everything is not as it seems though and Murdoch and Isabella find themselves on an adventure of a lifetime.

I liked both Murdoch and Isabella. Isabella is frank and not a woman looking to land a husband. Murdoch is a whirlwind, he is on a mission but at the same time is charismatic, you want him in every detail of the story. Wonderful read, had a lot of twists and a slightly different angle for historical fantasy stories.
