This is the second book in this series. They must be read in order. There is a big gap from when Nine was published and this book. It took me a minuteThis is the second book in this series. They must be read in order. There is a big gap from when Nine was published and this book. It took me a minute to remember the first book when I started reading this one. Nine, Trig, and their daughter and living in Fuji now. A confrontation between Nine and Trig brings some secrets to light and starts us down a hard path. Trig has been pulled back into the life they tried to hard to get away from. He is trying to protect Nine and their daughter by not saying anything but instead it does the exact opposite. Once Nine gets something in her head so won’t let it go. This pulls them further into the danger instead of away from it. Two are going to have to fight even harder than before if they want to survive. I enjoyed this book but I feel like the ending was unnecessary. It sets up the next book. But if there is to be a next book there is a significant time jump that could have just been put in the beginning of that next book. I am not sure if I would read that next book or not if there were to be one. I did enjoy this read. I felt for Nine and Trig once again. It seems like they can never get a break. Like their lives are always being controlled by someone else. Great job Jennifer. ...more

This book does end on a cliffThis is the first book in a new series by MJ Crouch (Janie Crouch). This is a reverse harem, mafia, dark romance series. This book does end on a cliff hanger so be prepared for that. If you don’t like cliff hangers you may just want to wait till the whole series is out. Mari is the head of all of Seattle. She has loved her right-hand man, Greyson forever but they have never tried to be together. She grew up being groomed to be a mafia wife but when her twin brother died, she shifted to being groomed to take over. Then when her father died, she did take over.

While out for a drive she meets Nate when he stops to help her with a flat and then an ambush. She finds herself wanting all three of these men. Each one reacts differently to her. When Dominic pushes Mari and Greyson together things turn out differently than he thought. Mari isn’t the same girl he remembers. He is having trouble merging the two. Maybe he doesn’t have a place in her life in that way. Nate wants Mari but is keeping his distance in a romantic way because of his own issues. Things are coming to head as a new player is moving in and causing all kinds of issues for not just Mari. Mari is his target but he doesn’t care who gets hurt in the process. Will Mari and her men be able to figure out what is going on before it is too late? I love Mari. There are so many different sides to her. She is discovering another part of herself in this book. She doesn’t have to live by others standards. If she wants these men and they want her than that is all that matters. Who cares what others think. She is the head of Seattle. Dominic is torn by his feelings for Mari. He will need to decide if he can love Mari as she is now or mourn the girl who knew her as. Nate must decide if he wants to take a chance with Mari. They could help each other more than they know. I love this book right from the start. I couldn’t put it down but I didn’t want it to end either. I can’t wait for the next book in the series. Mari and her men are going to do whatever it takes. Fantastic job MJ Crouch. ...more

This book is fantastic and the ride is getting wilder and wilder. I can’t wait for the third book in the trilogy. Angel is wonderful author and I love her books so much. They are on the darker and twisted side so be aware of that before starting. I love Tristan and want him to get his happy ending....more

She is bound by her family’s inheritance clause. Most of her life has been in someone else’s control. When the two meet Justin knows right away, she is meant to be his.

So much is controlled by her family’s rules about the inheritance. She never imagined taking this little trip would change her life so much. This book is fast-paced and quick. With an instant connection between the two, a virgin female character, and more. These characters were great. There is a bit of a daddy kink in this so if that isn’t your thing you may want to skip it. It really isn’t my thing either, but it was a little different in this book. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the other books in the series. Great job Chloe. ...more

So when the name changed I was a little apprehensive. But it turned out to be a great book with only a handful of Daddy moments. I have not read the other two books in this series but I look forward to reading them after reading this book. The book is quite funny actually and super steamy at times. Princess Lola and her friends are great. While this a book about royalty it isn’t all about them being royal. I truly enjoyed the characters and the story line. There was just enough angst between Lola and the Duke. There was also a twinge of danger. The book wasn’t all the long and I read it in one sitting. I look forward to reading more books by Madison in the future.

They can be read as standalone books but I think they are better read in order. This book focuses on South and Ingrid. South have transferred Chapters, from LA to NOLA. Ingrid and South met a long time ago however Ingrid doesn’t remember at first. South didn’t transfer just for Ingrid but she is a bonus. He is going to go after her and show her that he is the man for her. The age gap doesn’t matter to him but he will have to show Ingrid that what they have is worth possibly upsetting her family. Ingrid is thrown by some news at the beginning of the book and South is there for her right from the start. The club is still dealing with the Bratva as well. Then there is the Countess. She is clearly up to something but what. She can’t be trusted in any case. This book does have a twist that I totally didn’t see coming. Which is unusual for me. The Houston and the LA chapters make an appearance in this book as well. I loved this book. I can’t wait to read more about the characters in this chapter and the others as well. Fantastic job K.E. Osborn. South is amazing and a wonderful match for Ingrid....more

Inessa has been abused in more than one way. Her life isn’t her own and they have plans for her. When Nico and his men find out everything that Inessa has been through it changes things.

While they are standalone books, I think they are better read in order. This is also the final book in this series. But never fear Jenna didn’t leave this world completely. We are just moving to a new city after this book. Blair grew up surrounded by money but it never brought her happiness. Now she is an adult trying to make it on her own. Her father doesn’t want to let his control over her go though. Dalton hasn’t seen Blair since she was a young girl. Now she is a young adult. He didn’t recognize her until she said his name. Now he worries why she let what happened happen. Could she be out to hurt him and his business? Dalton can’t get Blair out of his mind. Then things get even more confusing when he learns Blair is being evicted because her father offered her landlord more money to throw her out. Blair can’t believe she has run into Dalton after all these years. She wants to be with him. Learning that Dalton is a dom sparks something in her. She kind of dynamic has always called to a part of her. Could she do something like that in real life? Could Dalton bring her fantasies to life? This book was a great read. I was a little iffy going in because the Daddy/baby girl thing isn’t for me at all. But that wasn’t played up that big in this story. More as just a way to get Blair to relax and listen to what Dalton was trying to her to hear and learn. I loved this book and was upset when I learned it was going to be the last book. But then she let us know it wasn’t really the end. Congrats Jenna on another fantastic book. I can’t wait for the new series. ...more

Franco Moretti is the head of his family. Things have been set into motion by his cousin and an enemy. Franco has been asked to watch over the woman his cousin loved. Raina Lombardi. Raina seems so innocent. It takes one meeting for Franco to know he wants more than to protect her. He wants her for himself and he is going to have her. He just needs to figure out how he will get her. Raina’s life has been turned upside down. Her father has been killed, her lover died, and now she is under the control of her brother who she hates. Then she meets Franco. There is just something about him that calls to her. He makes her an offer she can’t refuse. The only issue is that she knows she is going to lose her heart to him. He won’t let himself love again. It ended badly the last time. Plus, he doesn’t want to bring Raina further into their world and put her in more danger. It’s better this way. I love both mafia and bdsm books and this combines the two. Raina is much stronger and less innocent than she seems. Franco is a strong headstrong man. Will he be able to let Raina leave or will he face his past and keep her like she wants? Dani did a wonderful job with this book. I love the characters. I can’t wait to read the next book when it comes out. The world building is great. Wonderful job Dani. ...more

They only bright part for Chains is that he has finally decided to stop hiding and running from his feelings for Jackson and Winnie. If he manages to get back to them he will let them in all the way and be fully in with them. This book does end on a cliff hanger so be prepared. Fantastic job D.M. Earl.

The chancellor however plans to use this to his advantage. If she wants his vote then she will have to give him something he wants. But what he asks for maybe a step to far. This was a great read. So much angst. I hope Novalee gets the man she wants without too much heartbreak. Sebastian and Novalee are fantastic for each other but in their world. I am excited to see how it ends. I feel for Novalee so much. It seems that she never really catches a break. So has been forced to do so many things she didn’t want to. So, few of the guys were interested in what she wanted or making a connection. Wonderful job Gemma....more

I believe they really need to be read in order to get the full picture. This is finally Henry’s book. He has been through so much. Mia managed to pull him from his refuge in Big Bear. Now he has taken over Cole Tea to free Cameron to live his life. It was always meant to be his. But now more struggles are on the horizon. He still isn’t all that comfortable around a lot of people. Plus, he still struggles with PTSD. Lotte is a dominatrix and works much like Cameron. Yes, there is sex involved but its more than that. Lotte and Henry seem to being thrown together a lot lately and they are drawn together. Could they really be able to be together in the open though. Someone would find out what she does and then it would tarnish the Cole Tea name. Or could there be a way? Someone from Henry’s past makes a reappearance as well. Turning his world on its side even more than Lotte is doing. This book was a fantastic read. I couldn’t put it down but I kept having to. Henry deals with a lot of guilt and it influences most of his decisions even with Lotte. It seemed that he would push her away anytime they were finally making progress. Not to say that Lotte didn’t have her moments. I can’t say enough about this book. It is a must read for me. I love the series and always look forward to a new book in it. Fantastic job Vanessa. ...more

Things were supposed to be so easy. Find his one and make her realize they were meant for each other then live happily ever after. This book was a crazy ride. Cody is so lovable and level headed but not when it comes to Betty. Betty is a wonderful girl. Things haven’t always been easy for her. She can’t believe how much Missy and her family feel like her true family. I am so sad that this is the last book. But, maybe will get to visit with more characters from the world. After all the Barnetts aren’t the only ones on the mountain. I love these guys so much. I was so excited to finally read Cody’s book. I love Cody and of course Betty is perfect for him.
