Promise Me Always by A.L. Jackson

 

Promise Me Always by A.L. Jackson is now live!

I should know better than to let Tessa McDaniels pretend to be my fiancée.

I'm a dark, dangerous disaster who leaves destruction in his wake.

But when she offers to pretend to marry me to help me get my kids back, I can't refuse. They are the one thing I have left to fight for.


Milo Hendricks found me at my lowest.

Battered and broken by my ex with no place to call home. When he insists I stay at his cabin with him, he sparks the feelings I've tried to suppress.

He's only supposed to be my friend, but every time he comes in the room, he makes my knees weak.

This gorgeous, tatted, mountain-of-a-man who's riddled with secrets.


Tessa is everything I crave but can't have.

I shouldn't touch her.

Shouldn't make it real.

But she's a red-headed flame I can't resist, and I can't help but take her to my bed.


Now we're falling into an abyss of passion and need.

Loving her is easy.

Only we're tied in ways we don't know.

I'll do anything to protect her, but it's my past that might destroy her in the end…

Words cannot express how much I adore this story. I have been hoping that Tessa would be paired up with Milo solely based on their connection in the previous stories. She always seemed like this happy go lucky girl who always had a smile on her face and when we read her story, it was heartbreaking. Then you add the torture that Milo is enduring and my whole heart shattered. But the connection that these two have regardless of them fighting that attraction was amazing. How much they just wanted to be there for each other. Hold each other up. There is a lot that happens within these pages that will shatter you to make your heart sing. 

One thing I adore is Jackson’s way of writing is stunning and oh so beautiful. It is raw and passionate. Heartfelt yet a bit twisty. The Redemption Hills series is a lot more twisty than past books by Jackson but still packs a massive punch in the feels. Hands down, binge this series but I think Milo has beat out Trent for me!

Sinful Vows by Lilian Harris

 



Sinful Vows by Lilian Harris is now live! 



I never wanted a wife. No one is safe with me. No one is good enough for my daughter.
 
But if I want to rule over the wealthiest crime family in New York City, I only have two weeks to find one. 
 
When Elsie broke into my home, I saw an opportunity, so I forced her into a marriage she didn't want. 
 
No one crosses me, not even someone as beautiful as Elsie. She may fight me with that smart mouth, but she will obey me-or return to the hell she came from.
 
I told her she was mine for a year. Then she'd be free.
 
But the more I see them together, my daughter and my wife, the more she touches me like I'm worthy, the more I start to wonder, could she be mine?
 
But when war lands at our feet, when her life's in jeopardy, I realize I was right all along. 
 
No one is safe with a man like me. Least of all her.

This is the first book I have read by Harris and knowing it is a spin off of another series, I do know I will be going back to read those. With that said, I felt like you did not need that series to enjoy this story. I loved the single dad, enemies to lovers aspect of this story as it kept you on your toes. Especially with how Elise came to be within the family and how the relationship with Michael worked. There is epic banter between these two as well as the spicy moments, all wrapped up neatly with some twists that will have you begging for more! Great read and looking forward to the next. Now excuse me while I read Harris’ backlist!










Meet Lilian Harris



For Lilian, a love of writing began with a love of books. From Goosebumps to romance novels with sexy men on the cover, she loved them all. It's no surprise that at the age of eight she started writing poetry and lyrics, and hasn't stopped writing since.

She was born in Azerbaijan, and currently resides on Long Island, N.Y. with her husband, three kids, and a dog named Gatorade. Even though she has a law degree, she isn't practicing. When she isn't writing or reading, Lilian is baking or cooking up a storm. And once the kids are in bed, there's usually a glass of red in her hand. Can't just survive on coffee alone!

Kirill and I are as different as day and night.

I have been DYING to get my hands on Kirill’s story and I was NOT disappointed. Kent knows how to draw you in and grip your soul while reading her books and Blood of My Monster is no different. The connection that Sasha and Kirill have is something so intense that my mind was spinning as this story progresses. Sasha is soft to Kirill’s hard. But don’t discount how strong Sasha really is. She is a spitfire and will keep Kirill on his toes!

This is a story that is high intensity, fast paced and mind blowing. Be aware that this is the first book of the trilogy so you know how we are left begging for more at the end. I am so looking forward to how this trilogy is going to play out because in true Kent fashion, she drops the bombs and twists! Bring on book two!

Kenji

Miya Johnson.
She knows how to press every single one of my buttons to get me riled.

I have been looking forward to Kenji’s story since I knew we were going to get it. I lived for the connection that he and Miya have. It is intense and oh so spicy. Miya keeps Kenji guessing what is going to happen next with her, bringing out his fun side and so much more. She pushed limits with him and that just added more to their relationship.

 Once I started this book, I struggled to do real life things because I was drawn back into the story. Add how Kenji is involved with the Syndicate series and the twisty moments that are involved with this story, you get an action packed, sizzling story that will keep you on your toes, begging for more.

Keep This Promise by Corinne Michaels

 

 

Keep This Promise by Corinne Michaels is now live!

 

I’m about to lose everything.

My home. My name. My future.

My husband was involved in something that could cost us our lives, and on his deathbed, he demands my daughter and I flee Britain.

I had no idea he found her biological father, Holden James, in Rose Canyon, and that’s where we’d start over.

The moment we see each other, feelings I’d long forgotten rush over me. Holden doesn’t hesitate to care for us. We find ourselves reaching for each other, even when we should hold back. His smile warms me, his arms protect me, and against my better judgment, I fall for him. All the possibilities of a future are threatened by a looming past.

I’m being hunted, and it’s just a matter of time before someone finds me guilty of crimes I didn’t commit. Whatever trouble my husband was involved in won’t evade me forever.

I am trying to keep my promise and stay for Holden, but I don’t know how long it’ll be before we have to run.

My name was Sophie Pearson, but I vanished, just like my hope to ever find love again.

There is a lot of this story that I really loved but there were things that bothered me about it as well. I adore the premise and the concept behind this one. Plus how it all played in and tied together with the other books of this series which ended in the culmination of the backstory being completed. I think what bothered me about this one is the repetitive nature that Sophie was given. Her thoughts were constantly repetitive and drove me bonkers. I felt just off with her. I felt she lacked the spark of the past ladies that we have been given from Michaels stories. I adored Holden and how he took control of a situation that was completely out of his control though. How he cared for Sophie and Eden right out the gate even though it has been years. They do have a great connection. As always, the side characters add to the depth of the story as well. While not my favorite of the series, it is a good story that will have your heart happy by the end.

BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a friends-to-lovers story spanning more than a decade…

At first, I thought I’d hate spending the summer with Archie Remington—the conceited son of my parents’ friends.
What I knew about Archie: he was gorgeous, pre-law, and had always treated me like I didn’t exist when we were younger.
When our families bought a house together on an island in Maine, he and I were forced to share a bathroom.
The boy I remembered was now a full-grown man—but with the same attitude.
After a rough start, Archie and I unexpectedly started getting along one day and eventually became friends. We shared secrets and bonded during our morning jogs. I discovered that Archie had a wild spirit and that he struggled to conform to his father’s expectations.
Things were cool until I had to go and ruin it, getting drunk one night, and blurting out my fantasy—involving him.
I took it back, but it was too late. Archie had heard me loud and clear. After that, we never quite knew how to toe the line.
When that summer came to an abrupt and shocking end, I headed back to college, unsure if anything would ever be the same again.
Across the miles over the years, he and I stayed in touch as friends, but fate and timing always kept us from becoming more.
You know the saying: If two people are meant to be, they’ll find their way back to each other?
Let’s just say Archie came back into my life in a way I would’ve never expected.
And this time, my heart would really be put to the test.

  Fractured Secrets by Haley Jenner 
  Release Date: January 13th 
  Genre/Tropes: Mafia - Brother’s Best Friend - Enemies to Lovers - Marriage of Convenience - Age Gap - Forced Proximity - Protective Hero   
  Fractured Secrets by Haley Jenner is now LIVE! 
  Grab this all-new enemies-to-lovers romance TODAY https://books2read.com/u/mg1oNX   

      

  Blurb:   Gabriella Ferrari is new to the mafia life. Following the devastating loss of her mother, and with no other options, Gabriella seeks out the morally gray men her mother begged her to avoid. A family found in mourning, Gabriella struggles to live within the confines of the fractured secrets her mother bestowed upon her. She's traded one prison for another. Yet, while protecting her life is a reality she's all too familiar with, guarding her heart never even crossed her mind. Standing at the altar, forcefully betrothed to one man, she pledges her life to another. A man she despises. Her brother's best friend and the head of the family. Lorenzo Caruso may be a boss, but she'd sooner stomp on her own heart than hand it to him, even if she does like the way he makes her feel behind closed doors. Up for the challenge and accustomed to getting what he wants, Lorenzo is determined to hold the little liar's heart in his hands before she even realizes it's missing. The question is... what does he plan to do with it once he's claimed it...    


So with this book being the second in the series, I scrambled to read the first to get a feel for the world and then dove right into Fractured Secrets. I am so glad I did because I had a little more context to some stuff but overall, I felt you could read this book as a standalone. Coming from a shattered situation, Gabriella does the only thing she could think of and that was right into Lorenzo’s arms essentially. These two are pure fire together and she keeps him on his toes from start to finish. There is angst and passion threaded through these pages that will have your heart captured from the start. Great story and I am looking forward to more within this series!

Judgement Day by Delaney Foster

 



Release Date: January 20


They built and empire on lies and deceit. 
I was here to burn it down. 


They called it Judgment Day—as though they were gods among men. 
It was their reason for taking her. 
It was their motive for punishing 
me. 

After spending five years in prison for a crime I didn't commit, I walked out a monster disguised as a gentleman. 

It's time to take back what's mine, including her. 
She thinks she's in love with someone else—and maybe she is. 
So, I'll share her with him. 
But only for a while. 
I'll be her hero... and her villain. 

In a world of secrets and sacrifice, someone is bound to lose. A day of judgment is coming. This time it will be me they bow down to. 

*Judgment Day is book four of an ongoing, interconnected series. It is highly recommended you read books 1-3 first. The Obsidian Brotherhood is a 
dark romance series revolving around a secret society. Please check triggers.* 

Buy Your Copy Here !



Hands down, now is the time to binge The Obsidian Brotherhood. I sat and read all four books back to back and I am so happy I did. But by far, Judgement Day is my favorite. I have been intrigued with Grey since we first met him and oh my stars does he deliver! The complexity of twists that Foster has embedded within this whole series with the final culmination of this book had my head spinning and begging for more. I loved the way things unfold between Grey and Sadie too. OHHH swoon and fan yourself moments! While the spice was completely epic, the whole storyline and how it all played out was something of perfection. I devoured these books in a day! Hands down some of my best reads for this year already but Grey.. oh Grey.. that man is MINE!
