✯Review✯More than a Knight (Beech Grove #4) by Mayra Statham

Blurb
Logan Knight has fallen hard for a woman he shouldn’t touch, his new assistant. Aubrey Rey is feisty, smart and beautiful. Not a man who enjoys waiting, he sees the perfect opportunity to make his move. 

Aubrey can’t seem to take her eyes off her sexy new boss. She knows better. If anything, life has taught her men with power cannot be trusted. 

When lines are crossed, a passion is ignited neither of them can control. Will they have what it takes to make what they shared more than a Knight?

✯✯4 Batman Filled Stars!!!✯✯

I knew when I read Knoxed Up I wanted Aubrey’s HEA and more men from Beech Grove. 

Aubrey fell in love with her boss and when she found out he was lying about breaking up with his girlfriend and taking the next step with her she knew she had to quit her job. 

Aubrey had been living off her savings account. Now that account is almost empty. Knox her best friends husband calls a favor and gets her an interview with his friend. 

Aubrey’s instantly pissed when she meets him bc he’s amazingly beautifully handsome. But, she’d be stupid to go down the same road twice. Luckily for her it’s obvious he hates her so she’s shocked he hires her instantly. After working there for a bit if she wasn’t desperate for a job she’d def quit. 

Logan sees a gorgeous women in the vestibule of his office building. If he didn’t promise his friend Knox to interview his friend he’d of ran out to her. Imagine his surprise when that same friend walks into his office for that interview and that pisses him off. Logan refuses to put his business in jeopardy by crossing lines with her, his new assistant. 

Logan has eyes on Aubrey 24/7 when she’s at work. She’s the best damn assistant he’s ever had but being around her is painful to the body parts in his pants. 

Knox calls to invite Logan to him and Lena’s Halloween party and he also lets Logan know that Aubrey thinks he hates her. Logan plans on going to that party and proving her wrong. Then, he sees her with another guy he looses it. One thing leads to another and it ends in them in the spare bedroom with nothing on except Logan’s Batman mask. When he admits who he is to Aubrey it goes terribly wrong. 

Logan refuses to let her quit and leave his life. He’ll do anything to win her back as his assistant and as his women. Logan won’t take no for an answer. 

I read this in one sitting while enjoying myself outside in the sun. This is the 4th book in this series. I loved the characters. But, for whatever the reason I couldn’t connect to these two as much as the first three characters. Even saying that I did like the story. 

Gotta admit though my favorite part of this book. In Burning Bridges I INSTANTLY fell for Maverick’s best friend/roommate Gabe Blanco and have been stalking Mayra for more of him lol. Well, he showed up a few times and omg he was a hot mess and I need to know wtf happened to my man!!! I’m stoked to see he’s the next Beech Grove man we’re getting.

✯Review✯The Earl of London by Louise Bay

Blurb
I believe in love. It just doesn’t believe in me.

I date. I’m all for giving guys a chance. I’ve just never met the one.

Until on a spring morning in the English countryside, a tall, dark stranger emerges from the mist. Logan Steele is all tousled hair, hard chest and lips so perfect I want to reach out and touch them just to check they’re real. I’m sure that’s a thunderclap of chemistry I feel between us.

Did I mention he’s an Earl with a self-made fortune?

A billionaire who works tirelessly for charity?

And he’s so hot, watching him is like staring at the sun.

But like I said, love isn’t rooting for me.

When I find out Logan Steele is out to destroy everything I’ve dedicated my life to protect, the chemistry disappears and the hope that had blossomed my chest turns to rage.

It no longer matters that he quickens my pulse just saying my name, weakens my knees with a single touch and that he might just be the greatest kisser that ever lived.

I might believe in love but Logan Steele is definitely not the one.

✯✯4 Earl Filled Stars!!!✯✯

Louise Bay has been one of my favorite since the first time I read her. I feel for Darcy and was hoping she’d get her HEA since I read The Duke Of Manhattan. 

Darcy is running her families estate while her brother runs his business in the United States. She has a vision of the way her town is suppose to be. It’s why she refuses to let her brother Ryder to use a helicopter to come and go. 

Darcy’s nervous when she finds out her next door neighbor House was sold. She’s not sure who it is and hopes they plan on keeping things within their neighborhood the same. When she runs into her new neighbor by accident in the fields where their properties meet she’s intrigued. 

Logan has gone from nothing to something. He’s a man made millionaire and CEO of his business. He’s ruthless but fair. Logan’s compared to his father and that is something he strides not to be. For years Logan has had his eyes on a certain estate. His grandma lost it bc of him and Logan plans on getting it back for her. So, when it’s up for sale he makes sure to get it back for his grandma. 

Logan’s plan is to work during the week and spend the weekends in the country with his grandma. He also has plans set up for the estate that’ll help bring business to the neighborhood businesses. Then, he met his neighbor Darcy and everything changed. 

The minute Darcy knew who Logan was it was an instant war. She’d never let him come into her hometown and ruin it like the previous city people did. The ones who have money and can make everything sound great and instead it turns out miserable for everybody but them. 

Darcy is never afraid to put Logan in his place. Darcy really likes Logan’s grandmother. Darcy wants to stay far away from Logan. His grandma and a few others keep trying to get her and him as more than neighbors. 

Darcy wants nothing to do with Logan. But, whenever she finds herself around him he does or says something that makes her smile or to think that her first impression of him might be wrong. Darcy’s not sure how long she can keep her guard up against Logan. 

Logan has plans he wants to do. He doesn’t let anybody tell him no or get in his way. But, Darcy makes things different. Even though Logan has plans he wants done, he also wants Darcy. Logan will do anything he has too in order to get both. Including making his grandma happy. 

This story was amazing! I couldn’t stop reading. For the first half of his book Darcy got under my skin. I understood where she was coming from. But, she was just too much after awhile. Logan on the other hand is amazing!!!! His grandma raised him right that’s for sure. After awhile I was saying to myself that he needs to leave Darcy alone and find me lol. But, together these two are great. 

I’m really looking forward to Louise’s next release. So, this is my way of saying please Louise write faster.

✯Cover Reveal✯Player by Staci Hart

Player, an all-new sexy, standalone romantic comedy from Staci Hart, is coming October 11th!

Player by Staci Hart

Publishing Date: October 11, 2018

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Photographer: Periwinkle Photographer

He’s a player.

He plays the bass with expert fingers. He plays women with intoxicating charm. And he’ll play me with the ease of a virtuoso.

Who better to teach me to play than the master himself?

I’m his model student, front row, pencil sharp. Pick up lines? I’ve got them. Free drinks? By the dozen. Kissing? Let me grab my chapstick.

But the most valuable lesson I’ve learned is that there’s so much I don’t know. Like why his touch sets off a chain reaction straight to my nethers. Or how I’m certain each kiss is the best I’ll ever have, until the moment his lips take mine again.

There’s so much I don’t know.

Like the fact that I’m only a bet.

But we are what we are. He’s a player, through and through.

And I’m the fool who fell in love with him.

Synopsis:

Truth: Penn Walker entered my life like a summer storm—dark, ominous, and filled with thunder.

Even the dirty and twisted pieces that I wish never existed.

 

Lie: I didn’t need him to save me.

Lie: I knew exactly who he was.

Lie: Losing him wouldn’t destroy me.

 

But that’s the thing about lies—you never know who to believe.

✯✯5 Truth Filled Stars!!!✯✯

Oh man. I need Aly to write faster bc I love her books so much and no joke I hate waiting for her next release once I finish her last. I was super glad I didn’t have to wait long for The Truth Of Us once I finished the first part The Truth About Lies. 

If you’ve read book one and you’re singing “ding dong the Guerrero’s are dead. Guerrero’s are dead time to party”. Think again. The Guerrero family still has enemies and not every Guerrero are six feet under. 

I’m not giving away the last part to this story. We know from last few sentences of last book that Penn is alive and he’s picked up Savannah and that Drew has Cora and River.  That hasn’t changed. 

Cora found the money, pics, important papers and the stars Nic left for her that Penn left for her. Drew claims he doesn’t know what it’s doing there. Cora plans on helping the girls get set up to get out of the life. Once she does that then she can take River buy a house and get them a new life. As well as get Cat set up. ESP now that they’re dead. 

Cora has so many questions surrounding Penn and what led to his death. Drew swears he doesn’t know anything. But, actions speak louder then words and in Cora’s eyes Drew isn’t acting like he’s lost his brother but she’ll let him act. That was until she gets arrest for child endangerment and River’s taking away from her. When she starts demanding the truth from Drew somebody from the dead comes back in her life ad Cora’s more confused then before. 

Penn had a plan. A plan him and Drew have put together and it’s been set in motion. He’s not supposed to veer from the plan. Then he her met Cora Guerrero and her girls Savannah and River. Now, he’s not sure what’s up and down. First he left Cora the money. Now, he’s moved Savannah into his home. She’s calling him daddy and testing his nerves. But, he’s never admit it that he wouldn’t change the decisions he’s made. 

When Drew shows up with news about River being taken away it’s the name of the person that’s behind it that makes his blood freeze. Penn knows he must get his hands on this piece of garbage once and for all. 

Penn knows the minute Cora sees him it’s not going to be pretty and she’ll have every reason to feel the things she’ll be feeling. Yes he was married before and Penn loved his wife. But, the feelings he has for Cora are stronger then he’s ever felt before. Even Drew saying it messes Penn up. But, he won’t give up Cora for a second time without one hell of a fight. 

I read the first part quick but this was finished quicker lol. We see more of what went down with Penn’s wife and learn the exact reason why she was murdered. 

There were so many wtf’s in this book. ESP at the end.  There were a few huge this that I did not see coming that after I finished the sentence I was left jaw dropped and rereading to make sure I read it properly. And, lemme just say the Penn/Savannah relationship was hysterical at first with what she put him through and then it turned beautiful. 

When I tell you I’m looking forward to Drew and Cat’s story that’s an understatement. Bc, after getting a bit into his head at his past I’m telling NOW GIMME NOW!!!! So Aly please hurry up lol

Join the Diamond Empire as this mafia family shows the world who rules, and the men protect the women they love in this limited edition five-book collection.

The Wrath of Cain

Eloped at the age of 18. Separated at the age of 18. Disappeared at the age of 18. This is what happened to Calla Greer. Her perfect life was shattered on her wedding day when she caught her husband Cain with another woman just hours after they said I do. With her heart broken, she moves across the border to Windsor, Canada to get away from the nightmare she stumbled upon.

After six long years of still being married, Calla returns to Detroit to have Cain sign divorce papers. Only Cain has changed. He's bitter, angry, and for a good reason.

Cain Bexley had 15 minutes to destroy his marriage to protect the woman he loved. He did the only thing he could think of to make her leave. He jumped in bed with a woman. Life at home was a lie. Lives were at risk. People are not who they seem. When Calla shows up begging for a divorce. He shows her exactly who he is and no way in hell will he sign those papers.

When all the lies surface will she be able to forgive everyone she has trusted in her life or will Calla turn to the man who destroyed her?

The Redemption of Roan

Roan Diamond's loyalty to the family may be obligated by blood, but nobody ever said he had to love them all, right?

As the next in line to head the Diamond dynasty, he has loose ends to take care of, and one of those is his brother Royal. Yet his plans for revenge fall apart the minute he lays eyes on Alina—Royal's ex-girlfriend, who also happens to be the daughter of the rival Solokov family.

As a mafia princess, Alina Solokov knew it wouldn't be easy when she made the decision ten years ago to leave the family for a new life at a college in England—but betrayal is often a dish served cold by those who you love the most. Now, back in the United States after a job offer that she couldn't refuse, her new found strength is pushed to the limits when Royal returns to claim her for his own.

The Absolution of Aidan

Aidan Hughes

I was cruel to Deidre La Russo. Said things I should never say to a woman.

Seen things happen to her.

Things darker than the bottle of liquor I consume.

I felt helpless.

Defeated.

The memories are more tortuous than the act of her torture.

Then she walks back into my life, only she's not alone. 

The Deliverance of Dilan

Dilan Levy.

The mystery man.

The man with a war to end.

The man who was put behind bars for a crime he didn't commit.

The man who disappeared.

The man who fell for an innocent woman.

The man is back to deliver his rightful revenge.

Empire

Our Empire is crumbling right before my eyes. No one can be trusted for reasons that are consuming me, controlling me and ripping me away from my family.

This new family who has taken over the streets of New York has taken someone away from us. We will not let them take anymore. The only way to stop them is to sacrifice one of us.

I'm loved.

I'm lost. 

I hate.

✯Release Review✯Yesterday is Gone by H.J. Bellus

Title: Yesterday Is Gone

Author: HJ Bellus

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: September 11, 2018 Publisher: Limitless Publishing

They say going home is easy, and in all reality, it should be. Just not for me.

The small, one-horse town that gave me my roots, that made my soul thrive, is also the

place I never wanted to set foot in again. I left everything behind and never looked back.

Until now. With the death of the man who raised me, I’m forced to return to Boone.

Old wounds resurface, and heartache and loss trump everything once more.

Seeing the man who shattered my world the night of our high school graduation almost

brings me to my knees. Jessie, my once best friend and love of my life, ruined it all for

me…for us.

I’m back in Boone…and my secret is about to rattle the tiny town.

✯✯5 Whit Filled Stars!!!✯✯

HJ Bellus is a Queen! I’ve loved every book of hers that I have read and Yesterday Is Gone was no different. I read this in less then one night. 

Jules and Jessie are high school sweethearts. They’ve loved each other forever. They’d planned on going to college together and spending their lives together. But, then plans changed. Jules got pregnant and her and Jesse couldn’t agree on what came next. Jesse went to college to play football and Jules moved away with no desire on ever coming back. 

Jules moved away from her home and grandparents five years ago. Her grandparents visited her once a month. But, now her grandpa has passed away and she’s packing her and her daughter up and going back home. 

Jules knows the minute she goes home everybody in town is going to stare and run their mouths. Jules wants to stay as far away from Jessie as possible. She knew the day would come where she had to come face to face with him and introduce him to his daughter. The minute Jessie shows up at her grandparents house and him and their daughter meet everything is going to change. 

The biggest mistake Jessie ever made was going off the college leaving Jules. When he got hurt and came home he tried finding out where she was. Her grandparents wouldn’t tell him. 

The minute Jessie goes to Jules’s grandparents house and he runs into the cutest little girl all it takes is him to look into her eyes to know she’s his daughter. Jessie was already planning to do whatever he needed in order to win Jules back. But, now he has two girls to love and to make up for the last five years. 

Jules is a strong women and an incredible mother. But, she’s torn. Jules has never stopped loving Jessie. He is the love of her life and he’s also the guy who hurt her the worst and broke her heart. She might be fine with him  having a relationship with their daughter. But, she’s trying hard to keep him at arms length bc her heart didn’t get the message. 

Jessie is a must love for me. Yes, when he was a teenager he said the wrong thing. Should he of done things differently, yes most definitely. But, the minute he sees Whit and Jules for the first time his entire world changes and his entire world is them and he’ll do whatever he has to in order to keep them. Jessie totally redeemed himself to me. 

I know some people had issues with Jessie’s language in front of Whit. Yes, I agree you should watch your language in front of kids. But.... It doesn’t get to me that much bc he went from a young single guy one minute to a father of a five year old little girl. You tend to forget there’s little ears around and they’ll repeat everything you said. 

Other then that I really loved this book. I am really looking forward to HJ Bellus’s next book. So hurry up lol. 

HJ Bellus is a small-town girl who loves the art of storytelling. When not making readers laugh or cry, she's a part-time livestock wrangler that can be found in the middle of Idaho, shot gunning a beer while listening to some Miranda Lambert on her Beats and rocking out in her boots.
