✯Release Review✯Perceive (The Vindicated #4) by Addison Jane & K.E. Osborn




Title: Perceive
Series: Vindicated #4
Authors: Addison Jane & K E Osborn
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: October 4, 2021


BLURB

Trust, loyalty, respect—that was what Malice MC stood for. The club was my family, a group of hard men who believed in brotherhood above everything else.
I found my best friend there.
Fell in love there.
And it was there I lost everything.
I gave it all up to find her, stared death in the face more times than I could count, for even just the slightest chance she was still out there. Finding her consumed me, and after six long years, she was finally back within my reach.
I thought getting her back meant feeling whole again, but I was wrong. The beautiful, fierce young woman I knew was gone.
I wasn’t the kid she grew up with anymore.
I wasn’t her first kiss.
Now, I was the enemy.


✯✯5 Axel & Kenzie Filled Stars!!!✯✯ 


OMG I’ve legit been waiting for this book since 2018!!!! I have not been shy about it. I feel like I been harassing Addison Jane & K. E. Osborn when they were releasing another one since I finished Revive. I’m here to say the wait was SOOOOOO worth it. 


Axel is in The Agency and part of team S07. Before he joined The Agency he was known as Riot in the Malice MC. When his childhood best friend Mackenzie aka Kenzie was taken six years ago he joined The Agency in hopes of finding her. It’s been six years since he’s seen her and they’ve finally found her but she has no idea who he or the Malice MC are. 


Four years ago Mackenzie woke up from a terrible accident and had no idea who or where she was. Rix found and saved her. Even though she doesn’t feel 100% sure or safe with Rix, he’s all she knows so she stays. Until Axel show’s up and she feels thing’s that she’s never felt in the four years with Rix. 


Axel call’s her Kenzie and she gets all warm inside. Even though he took her from Rix and has her locked in a small white room. He looks at her like she’s everything to him and Kenzie wishes she could remember what he remembers. 


Kenzie can tell quickly that Axel and his team are different than Rix and his team. She’s quickly realizing she’s been missing for six not four years and that she’s trusted the wrong person and that it could end up hurting or killing a lot of people. Kenzie decides to start trusting and helping Axel and the S07 takedown Rix once and for all. 


The more time Kenzie spends with Axel is more of her memories from their past comeback little by little. 


These two grow closer and closer together everyday. Axel and his team also get closer to figuring out what Rix’s next move is thanks to help from Kenzie. 


Just as they think they’ve gotten a plan to end Rix, things go sideways. They realize that they have a mole in The Agency and they’re all in danger. 


Axel lost Kenzie once and he can’t loose her again. He treats his S07 team. They’ve become his family. He knows with a trader in The Agency he needs to get help from his other family. The Malice MC, who are also Kenzie’s family are here to help Axel, The Agency and S07 takedown Rix, the traitor and save Kenzie. While also trying to stay alive. 


You gotta read this! Since I haven’t seen these guysguy’s since 2018 I went back and read my first three review’s to refresh my memory and when I started reading it everything came back. 


I’m now so excited to get Noah and Molly’s story Bc OMG. Talk about explosion!!! I’m keeping my fingers crossed I have them in my hands ASAP!!

EXCERPT

Six years ago, I lost her.
Kenzi was a part of my club, The Malice MC, where we both grew up together. We formed a bond so tight I thought nothing could tear us apart, until she vanished into thin air one day without a trace.
I was a brother, a valued member of the MC, but I had to find her. It was my mission moving forward. So, I joined an elite team, a section of the government so deeply hidden that even the highest officials don’t know of its existence.
I joined The Agency to find her.
My team, the SO7, did just that.
We failed the first time I tried to rescue her.
When I laid eyes on her, I was so fucking shocked, I let her walk with the asshole who took her from me. Ever since we left the desert to regroup, I can’t get my head straight.

✯Release Review✯Quiet Wealth (Quiet Mafia #1) by J.L. Drake




Title: Quiet Wealth
Series: Quiet Mafia #1
Author: J.L. Drake
Genre: Mafia Romance
Release Date: July 22, 2021


BLURB

A twisted mafia romance about quiet wealth and refined darkness

Sienna

It’s been ten years since he left me with nothing but a pendant, a photo, and a broken heart. He was but a ghost, there one minute and gone the next. I picked myself up, dried my eyes, and built my life without him. Now he has come back into my life like a raging storm surrounded by crime and bloodshed. I no longer need him, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want him—or just a little taste…

Elio

Ten years ago, I had to leave behind the only light I had in my life. Without her, I live in darkness. I am not proud of the things I’ve done, nor the blood that’s been shed. Everything I did had been to protect her. We live by our code—family, power, loyalty, and protection. Our empire is built on the bones of our enemies. Now that she is back and we have a second chance, they will learn one way or another you do not touch my queen.

Capri Famiglia will rise to the top no matter the cost, bloodshed, or the lines that will have to be blurred.


✯✯5 Elio & Sienna Filled Stars!!!✯✯


OMG finally!!! I feel like I have been waiting for forever for J. L. Drake to hit publish on her next release for decades. I gotta say after reading the first part of Elio and Sienna’s story the wait was SO worth it. 


Since this is going to be a three part trilogy I really don’t wanna give much away. 


Sienna was living a life of misery. Between starving and the beatings she wanted to give up.  She just hoped her mom returned for her soon. 


While taken a rare breather so found a pond and then found a friend in Elio, the boy next door. 


For year’s they were just friend’s and then they grew into so much more. His parent’s took her in as their own as well. As long as Sienna had Elio in her life she was OK. Until one day him, his parent’s and everything that was them was gone. And, Sienna was left again for the second time in her life. 


It’s been ten year’s since Sienna lost Elio and his parent’s. The only thing she has to prove to her he’s real is the crow necklace he gave her. 


Sienna was alone and on the street’s when she met Wyatt and he took her in and now they’re both journalists. 


When her bosses found out about her past they talked her into doing an exposé and she did it in hopes her mom would find her. 


Next thing a big time hotshot reached out to her boss to hire her to do an article on their oil business that people have been trying to get for year’s. 


The last thing Sienna thought was the guy she’s meeting with is Elio’s best friend/business partner. Sienna want’s to run away from Elio but she can’t. Her heart, body and soul are connected to Elio. No matter how powerful and scary he’s become he’s still the boy she met in the woods ten years ago. 


Elio never wanted to leave Sienna all those years ago. He thought if he left her then nobody would know she’s the love of his life and his one weakness and she’ll be protected. 


But, here she is and he can’t and won’t stay away from her again and he refuses to loose her. 


The only problem is another mafia family are back in Italy and they want everything Elio’s family has. 


There’s a rat in his inner circle and he’ll take them all out himself until he finds out whose behind it and stop it once and for all. 


Elio’s also trying to win Sienna back without letting his enemies know who she is to him. 


I read this in less than two days. I couldn’t put it down. This has everything you want in a dark romance read and then so much more. I knew it was going to end on a cliffhanger but when I finished it at 4:45 this morning it didn’t stop me from yelling at my kindle in my empty room LOL. I’m dying for the next part of Elio and Sienna’s story!!

EXCERPT

Stripping down to just my bra and underwear, I slipped into the water and allowed myself to float, proud that I had finally learned to swim. I splashed in the water, happy for a brief moment. Puffy clouds made their way across the blue sky, and I let myself drift away with them, enjoying the freedom. The smell of the plumeria filled the air, and I pretended it was Mother Nature gracing me with a gift of her perfume.
“I was beginning to think you were avoiding me.” His voice traveled across the water and vibrated through me. I ducked down, careful to keep my body underneath the water, so just my nose was above the surface. “It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen you here.” He peered into the hidey hole where we hid our notes and grinned. “I see you got my notes.”
He was right. I had been avoiding him, but it had come with a cost. His kindnesses and our chats had been so important to me. I realized how much I had missed him. I was lost and felt angry and sad all the time.
He tugged off his t-shirt with one hand and stood in his jeans. I saw the way they hung low on his hips. Elio was two years older than I was, and his body was that of a fighter. Strong, lean, and had that V that Cara always drooled over. Yes, Elio looked spectacular.
“And you’re swimming.” He placed a hand over his heart playfully. “That hurts.”
I couldn’t help but smile at that, even as I swam a little bit farther away from the shore. It was true that I didn’t like people looking at my body, especially because of all the bruises. I was also self-conscious about being so thin, although I had put a little meat on my bones lately. Most of all, I didn’t like the attention I got from the men at the dockyard and the house. It made me feel uncomfortable. I had developed quickly over the past few months, and it was difficult to hide my shape under my clothes.
I treaded water and tried to think of something to say as he dropped his jeans and waded into the water in just his boxers. He dipped under the surface and came up right in front of me.
His dark eyes seemed to be even more intense today, and I felt a jolt when I took a leap and stared into them. It was like someone poured a bucket of warm water over me.
“Sorry,” I whispered, and his eyes softened like he was happy I spoke. “Things have been hard, and I got a little…” I trailed off, unsure how to explain myself.
“Lost?”
“I think to be lost you need to have been found at some point,” I fought back an urge to cry. “I didn’t have a starting point. So…” I shrugged.
“I missed our notes.”
“Me too,” I confessed.
“But I missed you more.” He smiled sweetly. Elio would often be bold with his kindness. I admired that he could say what he wanted without a care.
His eyes flickered as something raced through his mind. I could feel his body language change.
“Do you trust me, Sienna?” I licked my lips and thought about his question. “You know me well enough to know I wouldn’t hurt you, right?”
I nodded because it was true. Elio had never said or done anything to hurt me in any way. In fact, he had cared for me over the years and never asked for anything in return. I felt like he knew me better than anyone else.
“May I take you to show you something?”

✯Release Review✯Trouble by Tia Louise



A super-hot, enemies-to-lovers, billionaire romance 
from USA Today bestselling author Tia Louise.




Legend has it, the man you kiss at a wedding is the man you'll marry.
In my case, it's nothing but trouble.


Spencer Carrollton is a dark-haired, hazel-eyed beast.
When I collided with him at my cousin's wedding, I wasn't looking for love.
But his naughty eyes flashed, his full lips curled into a knowing smile, and I should have run.
I didn't.
I kissed him instead.

Then he gave me a job when I needed it the most.
I never get involved with clients, but Spencer Carrollton is wickedly handsome in a bespoke suit.
He's devastatingly sexy out of it.
He's possessive, demanding, and the best night I've ever had.

He's an arrogant billionaire, who thinks I'll fall at his feet, but I'm not going down that road again.
Then he pulls me out of danger and insists I move in with him until it's safe.
As the nights pass and we grow closer, I know I'm losing this fight.
Spencer Carrollton always gets what he wants.
The trouble is, he wants me.



✯✯5 Mr. Freeze & Sly Filled Stars!!!✯✯


Tia Louise continually proves over and over why I automatically read whatever she releases. I didn’t read Twist of Fate but I did read This Much Is True do I knew some of the people. I just didn’t know Spencer and Jocelyn’s interactions going into this book. I wasn’t lost with them or with the other character’s. 


Spencer’s had a hard life. He only sleeps with a woman once and he’s up front about it and isn’t ashamed of it. They don’t call him Mr. Freeze for nothing. But, he can’t get Jocelyn outta his mind so he needs to get his fill of her so he can move on. 


Jocelyn AKA Sly was able to walk away from Spencer the night of her cousin’s wedding Bc she was in a relationship. 


Since walking in on her boyfriend cheating on her she’s done with men. Jocelyn’s taking a year break from men but that doesn’t last long.  After her cousin brings her to look at a potential job and Spencer being who the job’s for they go home together. 


Jocelyn knows how he only sleeps with women once and she knows she could fall for Spencer, she leave’s before he wakes the next morning. 


Jocelyn’s got a lot going on at the moment. Her friend Courtney’s letting her stay with her and her frog loving son Ollie. She’s trying to get her business back to where it was before her now ex-boyfriend made her give up a lot of her clients. And, her and Courtney are trying to get a better and safer apartment Bc Courtney’s estranged husband is back and dangerous. 


Jocelyn’s also working to help her cousin, Spencer and his work partner get their gala set up and ready for the night. 


Spencer was furious whenever he woke up and Jocelyn was gone. Normally he wouldn’t care but Jocelyn’s done something to him. He can’t get her off his mind. 


When he finds out Jocelyn’s friend Courtney’s husband is coming after them he loves them and Ollie into his house with them. When he looks at Ollie he see’s a younger him and even though he’s been named Mr. Freeze, Spencer want’s to protect Ollie. 


These two want each other so bad it’s slowly killing them. Jocelyn won’t sleep with him again Bc she knows he’s got rules and she’s a relationship person. Unless they can get on the same page it’ll never workout for them. 


Spencer’s Mr Freeze and Jocelyn’s as fiery hot as her hair is red. Spencer has been through a lot but Jocelyn’s the perfect woman to understand him and to love and protect him like nobody has ever done in his life. 


I devoured this book and I have Twist of Fate sitting on my Kindle and the next weekend I have open I’m reading it!!

✯Release Review✯ Impulsive (Houston Defiance MC #4) by K.E. Osborn

We're on tour with Impulsive by K E Osborn!

Read for FREE with Kindle Unlimited!

About Impulsive

Oakley captured my attention.

From the very first second.

The moment she sassed me, even though I was wearing my club cut, I knew she had fire in her soul.


As the tech man for the Houston Defiance MC, it’s my job to know everything. To always be ahead of the game. To outwit, outmatch, and outmaneuver our enemies at every turn. They may be smart, but I’m smarter.


Finding out this firecracker has ties to a rival MC catches me off guard.

And my first instinct is to protect her.

Damn the consequences.


Taking her under my wing is impulsive, reckless, electrifying.

And I’m more than aware of the repercussions.

But what if she is not who she says she is?


Those close to me loathe the idea of us, and they’re becoming more of an issue.

But things are not always as they seem.

With new threats comes chaos and danger at every turn.

But perhaps the war lies closer to home than even we realize.


From International Bestselling Author K E Osborn comes the highly anticipated fourth book in the Houston Defiance MC Series.



✯✯5 Neon & Oakley Filled Stars!!!✯✯


OMG KE Osborn has written another A+ masterpiece! Impulsive is the fourth book in The Houston Defiance MC and it’s as good as the previous book’s. If not better. 


I’ve wanted Asher “Neon“ Creed’s story since Explosive was released. Neon’s the club’s IT guy. If they need dirt on somebody, need info, hide thing’s, expose thing’s then Neon is the guy to go to. 


The last few years haven’t been easy for him. His sister Anna was going to marry Zero, Oh President of The Defiance MC. When she cheated on him the night before they’re wedding and it was called off everything changed. Neon was stuck between his baby sister Anna and his brother and club President Zero. 


When Neon meets Nicolette Oakley he was speechless. She sassed him, stole his hotdog and disappeared. Few years later he run’s into her again and he doesn’t plan on letting her run away so fast. 


One minute they talking and the next they’re confronted by a rival MC. When Neon realizes Oakley’s in some kind of trouble with them he swears to protect her. 


Oakley can’t believe she’s face to face with Neon after all this time. Oakley’s a motorcycle drag racer and has worked extremely hard being the only girl in her family racing and she did whatever she has to in order to keep her sponsorships. 


Oakley got in with a bad MC and wanted out. She did something shady to get out. She thought she had a fail safe, a way to get out and her and her family would be safe. She was wrong. They’re standing in front of her letting her know they found it and we’re coming for you. 


Neon swears him and his club will protect her and keep an eye on her dad. Oakley can tell right away Neon and his club brother’s are nothing like she’s used to. They make her feel safe and welcomed. 


The chemistry coming off Neon and Oakley is hot, seriously hot and combustible. They try staying away from each other but they can’t. And boy are these two hot!! 


Thing’s sure are not easy for them. When Neon’s sister Anna has to come stay at the club everyone’s on high alert. She make’s thing’s difficult for everyone ESP Neon. 


Neon’s stuck between his baby sister, his club and new relationship with Oakley. He’s trying to do right by everyone but it’s not working. 


Oakley’s wanting to get back to racing. It’s her life. She’s enjoying spending her time with Neon and the men and women from Defiance MC. Until she’s confronted with an ultimatum. One she never saw coming. She could loose her dad one way, Neon the other or worse. Lose them all. 


Neon and his brother’s thought they were finished with the Baron. When his widow Connie aka The Baroness show’s up with info she shouldn’t Neon knows there’s a mole in the club. 


Thing’s for Neon and Oakley go from smooth to rocky quickly. Everyone’s on high alert. They have to decide if they’re going to fight together or walk away. 


KE Osborn wrote this book beautifully. You never knew what or who was coming next. What was behind what just happened. 


My heart hurt’s for Neon. He’s got Oakley and his relationship with Zero is back to being great. His sister... I don’t think there’s any redemption in her and thing’s will need to happen that he’ll have no control over and even though deep down Neon knows it has to happen but it kills Asher Bc it’s his sister. 


This is a stand-alone but I’d recommend you read the previous book’s so you don’t miss anything. I’m SO ready for the next book!!!!
