Deklan By Shay Savage



My father owes a debt. 
I am his currency.
I’m supposed to marry the recently crowned mafia king of the Foley family as repayment for my father’s transgressions. I don’t understand why the Foleys would want me, but I’ve grown up in a crime family, and I know the ugly consequences of not doing what you’re told. 
But as the wedding date approaches, the deal changes, and I’m about to be wed to a man I know nothing about. In fact, I don’t even know his last name.
Instead of becoming a mafia princess, I’m marrying the henchman.
Deklan.
After one look at him, I’m not sure I’ll survive the wedding night


When I read the blurb for Deklan, I expected it to be a typical mafia romance. He was going to be this dominate, mean, over alpha male who scares the hell out of her. 

But that isn't what we get. 

No....

Deklan, even with all his hard exterior is actually the softest person I've known to be in a mafia romance novel. He cares. 
Not only about his new wife, but about marriage. He's gone through his own traumas but in the end, his belief in God, and in his vows are sacred. It's special. And it made me love his character. 

But the world is out to get the main female heroin. She is thrown to the wolves without knowing much of what her future will hold. 
She was kidnapped as a child and had already been through a lot. But with Deklan, she feels safe again, even if she is unsure at first.

Endgame: An Ocean Bay Standalone By Chloe Walsh



My name is Mercy James, and I've always had a three-point plan:

•Get through senior year with the best possible grades.
•Get a full-ride scholarship through college. 
•Get the hell away from my irresponsible single mother. 

I didn’t think this was too much to ask for and I worked damn hard to make it a reality. 
For years, everything went according to plan. Sure, I was dragged through several different schools and towns since the age of ten by my emotionally stunted mother, but I was almost there, dammit. I was on the verge of starting senior year in high school and my final year of this plan…
Until my mother went and did the unthinkable!
She only went and got herself knocked up by a man who lives on the other side of the country! 
Worse than getting pregnant, mom married the douche. 
As if it wasn’t bad enough to uproot my entire life six weeks before senior year, Mom's new husband, Gabe Owens, comes with baggage. 
A sweet stepsister, Amelia. 
And the b*stard of all b*stards, Rourke. 
Rourke is my age and doesn’t want me in his town, much less his home. He's also hell bent on making sure I know it.
Thing is, I don’t want to be there either, and if Rourke Owens expects me to swan in and kiss his ass to make him like me, then he has another thing coming. 
I'm nobody's bitch and he's about to learn that.



Holy crap!!!

I couldn't put this book down. It has a fallen crest/Elite/The Royals series feel to it. 
More and more books like this are coming out, and you know, I've never gotten bored with one of them. 

I felt for Mercy, I really did. 
She was thrown into a situation where she had no choice of anything. She didn't get a say, or a who or what. 
And not only that, she's spent her whole life looking after her mother that she's fearful when her new husband gets bored of her, she will be the one left holding the baby her mum is carrying. 
And I can see why she's fears it. Her mum isn't the best mum whatsoever. 

And to top all those fears, she has to start a new school and live with her new step dads kids. One who is her age and hates her. 

But their relationship is a love/hate one. The chemistry is off the charts and the ending.... AMAZING.

Becoming a Vincent (Wild Ones #1) By CM Owens



When you live in a place where “turbo speed” internet is a slight step above dial-up, men carry on nine-year beard-growing challenges out of stubborn pride, and your brothers do things like nail all your panties to the outside of your cabin just for funsies, you tend to be a little crazy. You can call it a "locational" hazard, if you will.

That’s Tomahawk for you.

We rank people based on just how crazy they are. And the four craziest families in town are called the Wild Ones.
I’m on the bottom tier of those, so technically I’m not as crazy as the other Wild Ones. In fact, if it wasn’t for my brothers and their endless antics, I wouldn’t be considered a Wild One at all. Ahem. Sure. We’ll go with that.

Anyway, I have a best friend who endures it all with me. Benson Nolans is my one, constant favorite person.
Without him, I’d probably go really crazy, and not the fun kind. It’d be ridiculous, after three years of a flawless friendship, to mess that all up by falling for him.

I mean, even if we did get a little too close one night, it’d be reckless endangerment. Even if we did suddenly feel the chemistry that’s always been there and stop toeing the line, it’d be a foolish risk to take.

It’d be stupid to start hoping a really fun, but completely irrational, night with zero inhibitions might accidentally happen.
Really stupid…

Right?



Who would have thought that Beards could make you want to pee yourself laughing. 
But hey, this is CM Owens and she's crazy, funny, witty, and really knows how to make us laugh are asses off over the smallest things. 

I ONE CLICKED Becoming A Vincent on RELEASE DAY and I'm so glad I did. It's a new series for CM Owens and one I know I'm going to love. 

The story is the blurb through and through, and a lot more. 
I'm always surprised when she releases a new book, because you never know what loony plan she's conquered up next. And how the hell she thinks of it. But the wonderful woman does, bringing light and laughter to our day.

Fighting With Honor (Men Of Honor Novella) By KC Lynn



Once a man pledges his honor to his country, that sacrifice is embedded in his soul forever. For years he’s trained to fight, kill, and do whatever necessary to protect his country and its freedom, even if it means giving his own life.

He becomes more of a machine than human—one that’s built to destroy the enemy.

When it’s time to turn in his weapons, he never forgets the skills he learned. Never forgets the smell of death or feel of a rifle in his hands. The same hands that one day cradle his baby girl and caress the skin of his beautiful wife.

If anything or anyone ever tried to steal away the family he has vowed to love and protect, may God have mercy on their soul.



Fighting with Honor is a short Novella, but my lord, it's a powerful one. And I mean, seriously powerful. 

I'm not even going to do my usual review by breaking down the book in parts of why I loved it, because it wouldn't even do her words justice. Instead, it needs to be read. 

You will get all the feels with this book and if, like me, at the end, you'll want to ask KC Lynn why it wasn't a full novel. Because it really was that good. As much as I wanted what was happening to end, I just wanted to keep reading, to feel the intensity of her words and the emotion behind them.

Fallen Crest Forever (Fallen Crest #7) By Tijan



Mason Kade is the dream.
He is the promise.
He’s offering what so many would fantasize about, and it’s not that I don’t want it/him/us.
It’s the opposite.
There might be ghosts haunting me, but this man who's my soulmate is asking me for forever.
How can I say no to someone who already gave me my happily ever after?

I don't think reviews are really necessary at this point in the series. Because come on, TIJAN is a legend. She really is. 

If you've not started Fallen Crest, make sure you do. Here are my thoughts on the last book, so don't read ahead, SPOILERS!!!!!


In my last review I mentioned Sam's constant negativity. I mean, the girl LOVES him, like truly loves him and yet, she is up one minute and down the next. She is so negative throughout the books and the girl has every right to be, but I honestly thought, with the last book being the ending of the series, we would see a different, free side to Sam. 
But we don't. 
She's still up and down through the book. 
One minute she wants to marry him, the next, she doesn't. It actually become kind of a headache. 

That said, I LOVE these characters and my love for them has grown throughout the series. You can't help it. And even though I'm moaning about Sam's personality traits, I do still love her character and the story. I also love Tijan's writing.
Each book faces new problems for the fearsome threesome, but in this one, it's them. 
There's a part towards the end where Logan is saying goodbye to Sam and Mason and it seriously broke my heart. I actually cried. I did a few times during the book, but you have to read it aha Yes, I know, I'm mean, but I'm not going to spoil everything. READ IT!!

Lethal Lies (Blood Brothers #2) By Rebecca Zanetti



A deadly secret can't stay buried forever...
Revenge. It's the only thing that helps Anya Best sleep at night. The serial killer who murdered her sister is on the loose, and Anya will stop at nothing to put him behind bars. But she can't do it alone.
Private investigator Heath Jones's job is to bring the bad guys to justice. He knew the Copper Killer's latest victim so when her sister asks for help, he's all in.
But when Anya uses the media to taunt the killer, she exposes Heath's identity, putting them both in jeopardy. Now, long-buried secrets are coming to light - and the forces determined to destroy Heath are watching, waiting to exact their own revenge by any means necessary...



So....
Everyone knows how much I love this series, I make it known as much as possible. 
If only I could get my friend to read them. She just won't give them a chance. But hey, it's her loss, right???? RIGHT!

Anyway, Heath has been on the copper killers case since the beginning. He grew close to Anya's sister who sadly, in the last book, is captured by the killer. 

But my God, there's more to the killer than him killing innocent women with red hair, and dads in some sort of law enforcement. In fact, he's tied to both characters that will have you shocked as hell. And trust me, I'm usually the one to guess who is who, but yeah, I had no idea. 

And, Dc Madison, yet again strikes back. I really wish that woman didn't have nine lives. Every time she comes into the book, I want to shake some sanity into the woman. She really has lost the plot. 

Another good book from Rebecca Zanetti, and the coupling in this book??? Bang on!!! The chemistry is off the charts, but the secrets????? They just keep coming. And the damn epilogue. 

Okay, so now I'm writing this review, it's making me want to read it all over again. It's brilliantly thought out and this author has an incredible imagination. The timing, the information and backstory, it's just brilliant. 

Make sure you check out the Sin Brother's first before reading this series. It's a follow on and will help you understand more who Dc Madison is and why she is after them.

CockLoft



Cockloft: A firefighter term used as a structural space above ceiling and below rafters, often connecting adjacent occupancies and permitting fire to spread laterally, often unseen.



Gabriel Martinez is the most arrogant and infuriating man I’ve ever met. He has a knee-weakening smirk that makes me want to kiss—no—slap it off his rude, sexy face. Judging by his ego, you’d think the hose in his pants is as big as the one on his fire truck. Not that I know anything about that nor do I want to. Nope, not at all. He’s already been forgotten like last season’s Michael Kors.

CeCe Kensington is as pretentious and spoiled as they come. The ridiculous purses she shoulders around are as big as her attitude. And don’t get me started on her mile-long legs or full, glossy lips that are meant to be wrapped around a guy’s… If she only knew the dirty things I think about doing to that sassy mouth of hers, she'd be hightailing it back to her side of town.

✿¸.•´¸✿*´¨) ¸.•*¨✿

When the beautiful boutique owner and sexy firefighter meet in the most unlikely situation, their two worlds collide, creating an explosion of misperceptions and combustible heat, trapping them in a fire they never saw coming.

SALEM
Just some fun. Just one night of reckless, harmless, wild fun.
That's what I told myself the night I hooked up with quite possibly the sexiest guy I've ever known. Only, I didn't want to KNOW him. Life is a series of temporary situations, or so it's always been for me. A future revolves around the next move, but I'm still the type to live in the moment on a seldom occasion, consequences be damned.
Unless that moment happens to be unknowingly landing in bed with my brand new stepbrother. The universe is a mean, twisted jerk. And one consequence is that I have to be around him and get to know him. The worst consequence is the fact that Maverick Sterling, the infamous playboy who can't possibly be tamed, is really hard not to want more of once you've had a taste. So long as I'm not stupid enough to fall in love, it shouldn't be a big deal. Right?
MAVERICK
My life has been blissfully simple for a really long time. I have a routine. I have friends. I have family. Yet everyone seems to have less and less time, since they're all sort of trying to be adults or what the hell ever. I blame them for the fact the only girl to ever ditch me without a backward glance is suddenly under my skin. I blame my father for the fact she's a new fixture in my life. Not that I knew that before I got a little overly friendly with my new stepsister. I mean, what are the odds? It shouldn't have been possible.
But it happened. It figures the one girl I can't get out of my head is the one girl who doesn't want to be with me. At least in my head she's the only girl who doesn't want to be with me, because I tend to be arrogant like that. The point is, now she's everywhere I turn, yet she's marking a line in the sand that she thinks I really won't cross.
Obviously she doesn't know me at all.
