✯Release Review✯The Difference Between Somehow and Someway (Difference Trilogy #2) by Aly Martinez

The world gave me everything.
And then it took it all away.

The Difference Between Somehow and Someway, the second book in the moving and captivating The Difference Trilogy from USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez is now live!

The world gave me everything.

After surviving a plane crash, I was lucky to be alive. It was a harsh truth, but one that changed my perspective on how fragile life could be.

So when a fellow survivor caught my eye, I owed it to myself to take a chance and follow my heart.

Bowen Michaels was guarded and broody, but I saw through his well-formed armor. Much like me, he was broken and lost, but together we found our way through the darkness.

For a brief moment, wrapped in his arms, it felt like maybe he was right about fate and we’d been destined to find each other all along.

But when buried secrets of the past erupt, igniting us both, it was hard to believe we’d been fated for anything other than failure.

The world gave me everything.
And then it took it all away.

✯✯5 Jaw Dropping Stars!!!✯✯

OMG WTF!!!! I’m not sure how I can find the exact words to write for this review. I legit have a love/hate relationship with Aly Martinez. As much as I love her character’s, stories I hate that she’s either having me ugly crying at 3am or I’m having a heart attack at 5am when I’ve finished her book and come to a WTF-cliffhanging ending. I knew that the first two books would have cliffhangers and I was prepared for them. The last one I was definitely shocked but then kinda happy for Bowen and Remi Bc I saw their Hea being more spectacular than I hoped. But, this cliffhanger left me with more with a massive kick to the gut LOL. 

I’m not trying to give anything away ESP since there’s still one more book left and OMG I’d hate to give anything away. So, here’s a condensed version if you can call it that. 

Bowen and Remi are continuing to get to know each other and falling in love. 

But, both of them are keeping secrets from each other. Remi doesn’t wanna see pity in Bowen’s eyes and Bowen Bc he’s afraid Remi won’t understand and he doesn’t want to loose her. 

Then there’s Sally. Even though she’s not here she’s still very much here. 

One night Remi finds something in Bowen’s house and she’s beyond shocked. It doesn’t make sense. She realizes that everybody in her life has been lying to her and she’s not sure that she can trust them to tell her the truth Bc she’s not sure if she’d trust them. 

Remi decides to take some time to herself to figure things out for herself. Bowen hates it but decides to not fight her and tells her he’ll wait for her no matter how long she takes. 

But, nothing is as it seems. Just when Remi thought she knew most of everything a monster decided to reveal its ugh face for the first time. Remi thought she was blindsided but she definitely didn’t see this one. 

OMG!!! I am so glad I don’t have to wait long to see what’s going to happen next LOL. I thought book one was good but man this was even better and even hotter!!! I gotta say as much as I am ready for the next book I’m also nervous Bc I don’t know where Aly Martinez is going to put Remi and Bowen thru before they get their HEA.

✯Release Review✯The Seduction of Pretty Lies (The Boys of Clermont Bay #5) by Holly Renee

He was leaving regardless, and I couldn’t hang on tight enough for the both of us.

The Seduction of Pretty Lies, the first book of an all-new emotionally charged duet from Holly Renee is available now!

Devoted. Loyal. Shameless. The Boys of Clermont Bay had been my protectors for as long as I could remember.

And Olly Warner took the job to heart.

He was intense and all-consuming, and I had been in love with him for years.

Alarmingly handsome and recklessly charming, he attempted to deny there was ever anything between us.

But we slipped over that invisible line, and the moment we gave in, something fractured.

He was leaving regardless, and I couldn’t hang on tight enough for the both of us.

Olly had always been the boy I could never have, but I couldn’t help losing myself in him.

A searing affair, the guarantee of a broken heart, and the desperation of careless promises.

Olly and I were never meant to be, and we had become nothing more than a pretty lie.

✯✯5 Olly & Frankie Filled Stars!!!!✯✯ 

OMG I’ve been waiting for Frankie and Olly’s story since the beginning of this series!!! And, I’m telling you the wait for them ESP Olly was SO worth it. 

Frankie trusted the wrong guy a few years ago. Since then she feels like her brother and his friends look at her like she’s the girl who was assaulted and nothing more than that and she wants to move past that. ESP since Frankie wants Olly in way’s she knows her brother will never allow and she’s tired of waiting so she’s taking matters or Olly into her own hands. 

Olly has always had a crush on Frankie. Even before Lucas took advantage of her. Since then he’s super protective of her. Though the more time he spends with her the closer they’re becoming and the harder it is to not cross that line. His life at home with his parents aren’t too good and if he ever went for Frankie his best friend, her brother Beck would destroy him and Olly doesn’t wanna upset him. 

When Frankie finally lets Olly know that she wants him and doesn’t care about what her brother wants Olly gives into what they’ve both wanted for awhile. Except now that he’s had his taste of Frankie he doesn’t wanna stop at once. He’s just hoping Beck doesn’t find out. 

The first part of this duet is legit smoking, smoking hot!! Olly and Frankie are fire. Unlike the first two couples this first part doesn’t end with a cliffhanger that left me shocked and speechless Bc I didn’t see that coming. My heart was broken for these two Bc they really are best friends in love and yet Bc of other people they can’t be together and they are drowning. I’m hoping Olly and Frankie can find a way to get back together.

Excerpt

Prologue
Olly

Two Years Earlier

God, she was so pretty. 

I clenched my hand at my side to avoid reaching out and touching her. 

She was also too young for me and she was my best friend’s little sister, but neither of those things seemed to matter when I was looking at her. 

I was always looking at her, but she was looking at him. 

Lucas grinned at her from across the table, and a soft blush bloomed across her cheeks. He was one of my best friends too, but I wanted to kill him when he looked at her like that. My stomach hardened as I watched them. I knew I didn’t have the right. She wasn’t mine, but for some reason, she felt like it. 

She had felt like it for far longer than I liked to admit. 

“What are you up to today, Frankie?” 

She pulled her attention away from Lucas long enough to look over at me. “Not a whole lot. I thought I might go for a swim before the party tonight. You’re going, right?” 

“Yeah.” I nodded. “I’ll be there.” 

“Good.” She smiled at me as she leaned against her hand. “What about you, Lucas? Are you going to be there?” 

I clenched my teeth as I waited for his response. He always treated Frankie as if she wasn’t important. He treated her like she wasn’t the most important person in the room even though she looked at him like he was the most crucial thing in her life. 

“Of course.” He rubbed his hands together as he talked, but he was barely looking at her. “I need to get fucked up or laid tonight.” 

Frankie’s shoulder slumped the smallest bit, and she looked away before either of us could see her face. 

A face I knew she was attempting to school to hide her hurt. 

“Real classy, Lucas.” I rolled my eyes because even though I had been friends with Lucas for what felt like forever, I still didn’t see what Frankie saw in him. I was beginning to wonder why I was friends with him at all. “Come on, Frankie. Let’s go hit the beach before the party.”

“Okay.” She nodded and stood from her seat. “Let me grab my suit.” 

As soon as she left the kitchen, Lucas leaned back in his chair and chuckled. 

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” I glared at him. 

“What’s wrong with you?” He laughed harder. “You look like a lovesick puppy over Beck’s little sister when you can get any pussy you want in the entire school. Don’t let a piece of ass make you look so pathetic.” 

“Don’t fucking talk about her like that.” My pulse was racing as I clenched my fists at my sides. “You have no idea…” 

“What are you assholes talking about?” Beck interrupted us as he walked into the kitchen and grabbed an apple off the island. 

“Trying to get Olly laid.” Lucas smirked, and my fingers tingled with the urge to knock it off his face. 

“It’s about damn time.” Beck wrapped an arm over my shoulder and laughed. “You’ve been a little tense.” 

“Fuck you both.” I shrugged Beck off me just as Frankie came back around the corner. She was wearing a simple black bikini, but I couldn’t look away. 

“Hey, you ready?” She held a towel against her stomach, and I watched as her eyes flashed over to Lucas before looking back at me. 

“Yeah. Let’s go.” I opened the back door and waited for her to walk through. This was Frankie’s house, but I felt like I knew it as well as my own. I practically lived here most days. Frankie walked in front of me, and I stared at the soft slope of her back as she pushed through the back gate and out onto the sand.

✯Release Review✯Forcing You Away (Archer & Everleigh #1) by Kennedy Fox

 

Forcing You Away

Archer & Everleigh, #1

   

Forcing You Away is now available on all retailers!

As I search for a fresh start, a friend convinces me to move to his small town. Considering I don’t have a place to live, his little sister offers me her spare room. She’s every man’s dream—witty, down to earth, and gorgeous as hell—too bad she’s off-limits. Unspoken words and stolen glances have me eager to please her in all the forbidden ways. My broken past makes it hard to open up, however, she inspires me to face my demons and be the man she deserves. I shouldn’t fantasize about my roommate, but it’s impossible when Everleigh’s sleeping next to me—her lips whispering my name.    

✯✯5 Archer & Everleigh Filled Stars!!!✯✯

I’ve been waiting for Everleigh’s book ever since I started Tyler’s book. Even though this is only the first part of their story it was totally worth the wait. 

Archer went to prison to protect his pregnant sister and he’d do it again. While in prison he met Tyler and they became best friends. Tyler told Archer whenever he gets out to come to Lawton Ridge where he grew up. Archer’s taking Tyler up on his offer and he’s looking forward to starting over and reconnecting with his sister and niece. 

Tyler hooked Archer up with a job at the gym he just opened up. Archer’s also got a place to stay with Tyler’s younger sister Everleigh. That’s the only rule Tyler’s made. Tyler want’s Archer to worry about himself. Get back in the routine out of prison and that his sister’s a man-eater. Archer agreed but when he met Everleigh he knew she was going to change everything. 

When Tyler’s friend was needing a place to stay at Everleigh was more than happy to let him stay with her. No questions asked. 

Everleigh’s known as a man-eater according to her brother but she won’t apologize for loving her life The way she does. 

When Everleigh meets Archer she’s instantly attracted to him but he’s insisting on following her brother’s stupid rules. Everleigh goes along with the rule’s and her and Archer go from roommates to becoming best friends with extremely hot chemistry that everyone who’s around them can see. 

But, both Everleigh and Archer have thing’s in their pasts that are still lingering in their present. Both of them have felt like they’re being watched but don’t know by who or why. It’s also getting harder and harder for them to keep their hands to themselves. ESP when they sleep next to each other everything. 

Just when these two can explore anything there’s a knock on the door and their lives are rocked to the core. 

OMG talk about a great start to the story. I’m dying for the next part.

✯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!!

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?”
