Title: Triplets Rise
Series: Ruthless Kings LaGrange #1
Author: K.L. Savage
Genre: Dark Romantic Suspense/Organized Crime
Release Date: October 29, 2021


BLURB

Daddy's little girl is all grown up.
Things are about to change around here.
If there is one thing I won't allow, it's having my dad's MC run into the ground.
Everyone expects my brothers to take charge, but what no one knows…
I'm the one who runs this club.
A woman.
And according to men, a woman's place is in bed—not at the head of the table.
Newsflash: I'm not only going to be at the head of the table, but I'm putting the word out.
Women can join.
Men can join.
Everyone can join and be accepted.
My brothers? We’re triplets, and they support me and have my back.
They know I'm meant for more than what society has mapped out for women.
My dad made enemies along the way, but that will be nothing compared to what I’m going to face leading this club.
Nothing comes for free—you have to fight for your freedom, for your ideas, and this Queen is ready to conquer the world...

I have been intrigued by this book since it was announced and I honestly was not disappointed. The only thing I wanted was more! Eden is absolutely everything. She is fierce, sassy and a force to reckon with. She is one strong woman and never backs down. With her and her brothers, Zeke and Eli, they are a storm. There is a unique set of twists within these pages. Especially when it boils down to how the triplet’s father became so ill. One thing I can say is do NOT mess with Eden. She fights hard and loves harder. With that, she takes care of her own which makes perfect president material. 

One thing I know I will get with a K.L. Savage story is raw grit, insane twists and lots of passion. While this one is not their normal style as we are reading three siblings and getting it from their points of view, it still packs such a powerful punch and I could not get enough. I am really hoping that we delve deeper into Eden, Zeke and Eli!








AUTHOR BIO


K.L. Savage decided they were tired of looking for the kind of books they wanted to read. They had an itch that needed to be scratched, and as every girl knows, nothing scratches better than an alpha.

They write about gritty, alpha males, sometimes their dark sides, and the women they love.

If you have the same itch, their alpha males should fix that.

Nightshade by Keri Lake

 




Title: Nightshade
Author: Keri Lake
Genre: Dark Gothic Paranormal Romance
Release Date: October 29, 2021


BLURB

My father called them messengers.
He once told me they walked among us, and that somewhere in this dark and godless city, there shined a faint sliver of hope. I had only to look for the signs.

Well, I’ve spent my whole life investigating the inexplicable, and all I've found are the unsettling vestiges of iniquity - the evidence of another world shrouded by the obscure. Purgatory to some, where depravity hides in shadows, and girls like me are little more than delicious bites of temptation.

Others call it Nightshade.

This peculiar place is where I first met the cold and callous recluse living in a decaying cliffside cathedral. Jericho Van Croix is the epitome of everything I’ve been told to fear. A raven-winged harbinger who wears intrigue like a warm black cloak. An enigma that I’m determined to unravel – even if it means getting closer than I should.

One touch is forbidden. Even so much as a kiss would be my demise. But the sin on his lips burns me up like a wild flame, and his growing infatuation weakens my resolve.

Giving him what he wants, though, will mean no chance for redemption, or escape. What's worse is, the signs I’ve followed yet failed to see all these years begin to unmask a terrifying reality:

That falling may be my only saving grace.

I have been dying to get my hands on the darker stories by Keri Lake but the timing was always off. But my mind is literally blown with Nightshade. The depth, the detail, just everything about this book had me on the edge of my seat, begging for more. The unique style of writing to the concept had my mind spinning as I honestly devoured this book in one sitting. It is intense, raw and twisted. It is spellbinding and I was lost completely to this world. This is very much one of those books you have to just pick up and read to feel completely immersed into the world that Lake has created and live in the wonder that is Nightshade!





EXCERPT

“It’s supposed to storm tonight. I’ve been told it’s dangerous up here when there’s lightning.” Hand in his, I let him guide me up the tower’s narrow, stone stairwell, lit only by the few flickering lamps that hung from the brackets on the wall.
Grip tightening as if I might try to get away, he glanced over his shoulder at me. “You’ve nothing to worry about.”
The stairwell opened up to beams and scaffolds, moving gears and the tired sounds they made. We hit a magnificent landing en route toward the bell at the tower's pinnacle, where the back end of the clock’s enormous hands ticked off the seconds in mocking. Counting down the end of innocence. I’d heard the vague rumors of the things that happened to girls in the bell tower. The utter depravity held mostly secret by its ancient walls.
“How can you be so sure?” I asked, stalling at a window, through which a cloud of lightning gave an ominous flicker over the black sea below.
His firm hand gripped me possessively, and before I even realized he’d changed direction, he backed me into the wall. Capricious as the wind that rapped against the window, he fixed his attentions on me, the chilled stones at my back a reminder that there was no escaping him.
The gentle brush of his knuckles down my cheek belied the shadow of malice that slipped behind his otherwise cold, inscrutable eye. “Because I’m so unreasonably rapacious when it comes to you, Miss Ravenshaw, that not even a bolt of lightning should dare touch your skin without consequence.”
In that moment, the thunder seemed more distant, somehow, or perhaps it was the incessant thump of my heart drowning it out.
“You’re jealous of lightning?”
He leaned in closer, the delicious scent of bergamot and licorice as intoxicating as the warm absinthe still pulsing through my veins. His lips traced a featherlight path along my jaw. Teeth grazed my earlobe, breath hot against my neck, as he whispered, “I’m jealous of anything that occupies your mind so unremittingly when you’re with me.”

Ahhh who doesn’t love a good enemy to lovers but that enemy being your brother’s best friend? Melissa Toppen delivers an angsty, passionate and witty story between Barlow and Atlas. Their banter made me laugh, their chemistry sizzled and so much more. I found myself laughing at these two as they spar verbally and seeing Barlow’s brother, Brennan just shake his head at them. There is a lot of back and forth and it honestly felt exactly like what the first year of college is. At least from what I remember. This was a great fast read with a slow burn that will keep you engaged!

Isaac

I’m about as straight-laced and by the book as they come. They call me Numbers, the man in the office of Burgers and Brew, the restaurant and bar I co-own with my friends. Routine and spreadsheets, that’s how I spend my day. I’m a creature of habit, from the designer clothes to the same girlfriend, I crave the pattern I’ve become dependent on.

Until said girlfriend breaks up with me for the umpteenth time, and I find refuge in a woman who is my exact opposite.

I’m intrigued and completely out of my element, yet that doesn’t stop me from spending time with her. Even if I consider her off-limits, something about her calls to me.

The problem is I just might lose a friend because of it.

BJ

Most of the time, I would never look twice at Isaac Thompson. He’s all suits, ties, and expensive dress shoes, and I’m…well, not. My time is spent at the tattoo studio I work at, day and night, designing badass ink for clients who want the best. I have no room in my life for a relationship, nor do I care for the messes they always create.

Until Isaac finds me stranded on the road, and I end up inviting him inside.

Now, I can’t stop thinking about him. He’s so different from any man I’ve ever known, which is why we decide to keep it casual and fun.

Let’s just hope I can keep feelings out of the arrangement, so I don’t get burned.

Sever by Caitlyn Dare

 

   

  SEVER: A Dark High School Romance (Savage Falls Sinners MC #4) by Caitlyn Dare 
Release Date: October 28th 
  Genre: Dark Romance Tropes: Enemies to Lovers /Bully/High school/MC/Reverse Harem   
  THE SAVAGE FALLS SINNERS MC SERIES IS NOW COMPLETE!!!   
  SEVER #4 IS NOW AVAILABLE!!! FREE IN KU!! http://mybook.to/SeverSFS


So, I had the absolute pure pleasure of just binge reading each book back to back. While I will give a snippet for each book for a review, I have to say that this whole series was just amazing. I found myself completely immersed in the world that Dare has created and I was just in love with every moment. It is steamy, raw, twisted and so much more as you delve deeper into the series with each book. This is one series I highly recommend as well if you like MC but with a high school bully twist and also gives you that reverse harem you live for.


Savage is the first book in this series and it gives you the build as to what this series will become. Sadie is sassy and fierce right out the gate as she does not like how her life is changing because her father took in a former club brother’s kids. The instant love hate that Sadie has with Rhett is intense. Then you add Dane and Wes. There is so much to unpack in this story that I was just completely lost in the world that has been created for us.


Now with Sacrifice, after the way Savage ended on that cliffy, I was so invested to know more! I found the spice level amping up in this one which I was living for. Even though these are high school aged kids, they have grown up in a very adult environment so I found them a bit more mature for their age, but with that young kid tendency. I loved the overall connection that these four have. Who knew an MC princess, two bikers and a jock could form such a bond like they did. The twists amp up with this installment and I am living for it!


As I rolled into book three, I found myself 100% invested in these characters. Seeing their relationship build to mean something more than just the spicy times. A bond that is deep. Sadie is still by far one of my most fave sassy leading ladies. She has grit and is fierce beyond words and I honestly think she is the glue that holds these boys together. This one also adds to the level of twists that make your head spin, beg for more and want to cry at the end of it!


Can I just say, I am so freaking sad that this series is over? I have been so invested in Sadie, Rhett, Wes and Dane. The whole culmination of their story is now over and I am seriously sad! Sever brings you all the spice, twists and angst like the other books but I found it to be on a whole new level. I was just so amazed at the complexity of this series that Dare has created for us that I am now so in love with their work. This one packs a punch and delivers an epic ending to this group of four. It was everything I needed and more!


So overall as a whole, this series is just everything. I loved the complexity. I loved the angst. I loved the spice. I loved the blend of the characters and watching them grow! This is very much a series you need to get into your hot little hands because it is unique and one of a kind!

  Blurb: The final instalment in the dark romance series from the bestselling author of the Rebels at Sterling Prep series…   Loving one guy is hard.   Loving three… well, it should be more than a girl like Sadie Ray Dalton can handle.   But Sadie knows where she belongs, and it’s right beside her guys.   Life in Savage Falls is finally calming down. Dane is preparing to step up and take over the Red Ridge Sinners, Rhett is accepting an unconventional life with his princess, and Wes is adapting to his new role within the club.   But another enemy is circling—one who’s closer than they realize.   One who won’t stop until the Sinners MC are on their knees.   Sadie and her guys all want their happily-ever-after, but they should know by now, nothing in life comes easy.   One last time, they’re going to have to fight for it.   And hope everyone makes it out alive.   SEVER is a full length dark enemies-to-lovers/bully romance. This is a why choose novel, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. It is book four in the series and must be read after SAVAGE, SACRIFICE, and SACRED. It contains mature content that some readers may find distressing.

  Excerpt: “I want you to play the piano for me,” I mutter into her mouth. I’ve waited twelve years for this. Twelve long years wishing I could watch the way her fingers dance across the keys. The way her mouth parts slightly as she concentrates, every now and then her tongue sweeping across her top lip to wet it. The lust behind her eyes as the passion of playing consumes her. She pulls back, peering up at me. “You want me to play the piano?” My fingers slide underneath the spaghetti strap of her dress. “Take this off and play me that piece you wrote when we were kids.” Her pupils dilate with her fixed gaze. “You want me to take my dress off and play the piano?” “Not just your dress. I want it all off—now.” I pull the strap down, exposing her shoulder to me, then the other, until they’re both hanging freely on her arm. Bella clears her throat and runs her hands down her dress. “You’re kidding, right?” She should know by now that I don’t joke, especially not when it comes to matters of her obedience. “No, I am most definitely not kidding.” She will do what I say, or the repercussions will be much worse than her ridding herself of her clothes and pouring her heart into a song that I demand to hear. Her trembling fingers attempt to adjust the strap of her dress, but I grab her hand and shake my head. “Now, Bella.” I press. “Cal,” she takes a calming breath, avoiding eye contact as her eyes stay affixed to the door, “I’m not taking my dress off. That’s absurd.” She takes a step forward as if she’s planning to make an escape, but I throw my arm out, grabbing her around the waist. “Then I’ll take it off for you.”    

  Blurb: 
Bella 
A pact made. Two orphans who vowed to never part.   I was selfish—for once, I had to be. The last time I saw Callum he was standing at the dormer window as I sat in the back seat of the car. His dark eyes foreign to me. The hatred that radiated from his glare shot through me with more force than a silver bullet. In a matter of minutes he had become a stranger. No longer my best friend. He was now a boy with a hollow heart who was headed down a dark path. A path I knew I’d never cross again. Or, so I thought.   
  Callum 
  We had a deal—always stay together.   The day Bella left, I vowed I would find her. And when I did, she would feel what I felt as I watched her pull away into a new life, with a new family. Leaving me behind to endure a life that was wrapped inside the hands of a monster.   It’s been twelve years, but I’ve finally found her. Now it’s time for her to bask in the darkness she’s created inside of me.

  Blurb: He arrives all dressed in black. Diamond cufflinks. A watch on his tanned wrist that cost more than we would ever see in a lifetime of work. He carries a single red rose for my mother. Months later, Tiernan Morelli lays red roses on my mother’s grave. That same day, he tells me that he is my new guardian. I should have known from the very start that he had more in common with the thorns than the rose. Now I know the truth: I’m a pawn in his dangerous game of revenge. I was too young and naive. Now it's too late to save myself from his clutches. I belong to him.      


So I am 100% questioning myself as to why I waited so long to read a book by Giana Darling. I am literally on the edge of my seat blown away. This story takes you on a journey that you may not be comfortable with but it is so deliciously twisted that I could not get enough. Bianca may only be 17 almost 18 but she is such an old soul due to her upbringing and being the one there for her little brother. Enter Tiernan. There is such a draw between these two regardless of how it came about. It is intense to say the least and sizzling. There is this underlying thread through the story as to why Tiernan has involved himself with Bianca and her brother and it is twisted and leaves you wanting more. I am so excited to see what will be coming!

Well Played by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

 




Title: Well Played
Authors: Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: October 25, 2021


BLURB

It all started with a bet.
When my young son inherited half of his great grandfather’s historic inn, I decided to move us both to the place where I grew up.
Notice I said half of the Inn. The other half now belonged to Levi Miller, the famous quarterback who had other ideas about what we should do with the property.
We won’t mention that I accidentally injured him during our first meeting, causing him to get eight stitches.
You could say we got off on the wrong foot.
We bickered a lot as we both moved into the property while we figured things out.
He wanted to unload the rundown place which, admittedly, needed a lot of work.
I wanted to restore The Palm Inn to its original beauty and re-open it as a bed and breakfast.
We couldn’t agree on anything. So Levi made me a proposal. One he thought I would surely lose. If I could sell out the place by the time he had to leave for training at the end of summer, he would back off and let me run it.
But in the weeks that followed, we got more than we bargained for while we were living under the same roof.
Levi and I got closer, and before I knew it, my nightly fantasies about the brawny Adonis became a reality. Not to mention, he was so great with my son.
We were in over our heads in more ways than one.
Because not only was he the last man on Earth I should be falling for because of our deal, but Levi was also my ex’s older brother.
And now the inn was the least of my problems.

I love a good single mom romance and these authors did an amazing job to give us a unique story that will make you swoon and giggle. I honestly really enjoyed the depth of the concept behind this story of how Levi and Presley get together. Maybe I just needed that steamy angst in my life again, but the story had great fluidity and character build. This is very much one of those books you have to read!
