King's Trace Antiheroes series by Sav R. Miller

 

King’s Trace Antiheroes, a dark, steamy, mafia trilogy from International Bestselling author Sav R. Miller is available now!

Book 1: Sweet Surrender

After his father’s retirement, Elia Montalto took over organized crime in King’s Trace, Maine. His pragmatic nature makes him popular and allows alliances with government officials, which keeps prying eyes off his business.

But even a town as small as theirs is not without risk or envy, and Elia has only ever really wanted one thing: Senator Harrison’s daughter.

As the eldest daughter of a corrupt politician, survival was Caroline Harrison’s only hope at one day being granted freedom. But her father has other plans, and when negotiations for her hand in marriage begin, all her dreams shatter.

That is, until she makes an unlikely ally: the handsome, young boss of the local mafia. Elia makes an offer Caroline can’t refuse, though it becomes clear soon into their union that the senator’s daughter isn’t as innocent as she seems.

He may have promised her protection, but she isn’t the one who needs it.

I love a great marriage of convenience rolled into some mafia. This one hit the notes for me and had me wanting more! It is dark, intense and enemies to lovers which always adds fuel to the flame of this story. As this is the first book I have read by Miller, I really enjoyed her writing style as well as the story itself. I love the dark twistiness that is the history of Elia and Caroline. It gets intense and seeing things play out for them and their relationship build was amazing. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book in the series!


Book 2: Sweet Solitude

In the wake of her father’s death, lonely Juliet Harrison struggles with the guilt over her loss. She deals with it the way she deals with everything: by burying her feelings beneath impulsive decisions and desecrating the local graveyard. But Juliet isn’t as invisible as she believes.

Hiding out from the ghosts of his past, Kieran Ivers is known in King’s Trace as a homicidal hermit. But the rumors don’t stop him from visiting the cemetery to taunt his late brother’s remains.

It’s there he first spots a woman engaging in lascivious acts on her father’s grave, and becomes enraptured by the darkness surrounding her. When she leaves behind a necklace, Kieran finds and keeps it until he can score a meeting with the mysterious siren.

He doesn’t know she’s the sister-in-law of his rival, or that she is drowning in her sadness. Nor does he care.

Once he’s decided what he wants, he’ll stop at nothing to get her.

Amazon Worldwide: https://mybook.to/kz3oGf


Dark and twisty, Kieran and Juliet’s story is intense from start to finish. I find that Miller has a beautiful way of writing the dark romance and I cannot get enough. That being said, 100% check your triggers before you go down the rabbit hole that is Sweet Solitude. This one is an enemies to lovers and the intensity you get from this type of story has me begging for more. They have such a sizzling chemistry but they trade barbs and so much banter that you root for them the whole time. I am dying to get my hands on the next book!



Book 3: Sweet Sacrifice

Fiona Ivers has been in love with her brother’s best friend since she was a kid. He’s older and oblivious to her existence—which only makes her want him more. She’s always believed he was disinterested, until a charity gala pushes them together. There, she realizes maybe he pays more attention than he’s ever let on.

Broody, tattooed loner Boyd Kelly has a low tolerance for distractions, and has no issues letting those around him know. His best friend’s younger sister doesn’t seem to care, though.

Each time the high-strung redhead bats her doe eyes in his direction, Boyd gives in a little, secretly desperate for the affection she so clearly wishes to give him.

But opening up to love might be more dangerous than either of them knows.

I have been dying to get my hands on Fiona and Boyd’s story and oh my stars. These two had such sizzling chemistry that you could not help but swoon the whole time! I was immersed so deeply in the story that I read it in one sitting. What I loved about this one is the fact that I could feel the emotions and pain that the characters were going through. The way this whole series intertwined the way it did gave it so much more depth as well. Great series!

I have to say, I am really loving the fact that Drake is delving into the history of Shadows and Team Blackstone. There are a lot of raw emotions that bleed through these pages, especially when it comes to the history aspect and the war they came out of. How they built something up and became a family, a crew to do something good. We see how the Logan family came to be and so much more. It is a heavy story but also has smiles and laughs as well so 100% check your triggers if you need to. With that said, this was a great story that opens your eyes to so much more in regards to this world and I am so looking forward to what is to come!

Made For You by Natasha Madison

 

Release Date: February 14

From Wall Street Journal and USA TODAY bestselling author Natasha Madison comes a brand new stand-alone enemies-to-lovers grumpy/sunshine sports romance.

A spin-off from the Only One series

Vivienne
I did the last thing I ever expected to do. I bought a boat. A beautiful boat that was all mine to spend the summer on.
Only thing I was looking forward to was the calm being on the water brought me.
A place where I wasn’t a hockey dynasty princess or the only single girl of the family.
What I wasn’t looking forward to was the broody man in the boat next to me.

Xavier
I was at the top of my game two years ago.
Then it all came crashing down.
I hung up my skates and vowed to never play again.
I was good at hockey, but hockey was bad for me.
I planned to spend my life on my boat with my dog.
Alone. Happily alone.

Until she came along. 

Grab Your Copy Here!


This is a raw and passionate book from Madison this time. Her books always hits on the feels but you get to feel the torment that Xavier is going through. Then you have Vivienne just wanting to be there for him. Seeing their relationship develop as the story plays out was beautiful to read. The wit and banter plus that sizzle added to a story that will make your heart happy. Of course, you root for Beatrice as well! I think what I am enjoying about this series is that it is a great blend from the past books and that gives it so much more depth. Great read from Madison!

You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It's a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn't listen to her...

I have been excited for this installment from the Wildcat team. I love a good marriage of convenience and Jenshak wrote a great one. I loved the wit and banter between Jade and Declan even though they are completely different types of people. But him stepping up to the plate for her and helping her keep her security in life was amazing. There are lots of feels within these pages as these two unravel what is really between them. Great addition to the series!

Sinful Crown by Ava Harrison

 

 Release Date: February 6


My protector is a monster. 

 

Evil men are searching for me. 

Gideon Byrne is my salvation. 

 

Cold. Cruel. And handsome beyond measure. 

 

He should scare me. 

His possessive desire should make me run. 

But I stay. 

 

I give in to him. 

I give him… me. 

 

I’m falling in love with a monster. 

And I refuse to stop. 

 

Gideon Byrne is many things. 

Predator. Enemy. 

Protector. Lover. 

 

Only one question remains… 

Is he my villain or my savior?


Grab your copy in Kindle Unlimited! Also Available in Paperback!  


I adore Harrison’s words and this one just soothed my soul with comfort even though the story is far from that! This is a spicy touch her and you get it kind of vibes which I am 100% here for. The concept, the twisty moments and everything in between had me devouring this story. There are intense moments between Sasha and Gideon because she fights him tooth and nail at times but Gideon never broke the promise to Ronan. From their back and forth, steamy chemistry and so much more, this story will have you wrapped up and begging for it to never end. This is a great story of promises, obsessions, sheer intensity as these two keep each other on their toes.

When a Moth Loved a Bee by Pepper Winters

 

 

When a Moth Loved a Bee by Pepper Winters is now live!

 

New York Times Bestseller, Pepper Winters, delivers a brand new High Fantasy Romance.

“It’s taking everything I have not to touch you. Not because I want to make you mine but because every part of me screams that you already are.”

A pack of wolves hunt a girl who takes her last breath by a river’s edge.

She is found and nursed back to health by the kind-hearted Nhil people.

She has no memory.

No past.

And is given a choice that could change her forgotten life forever.

A pack of wolves adopt a man who begs for death in the grasslands.

Blood revives him. Flesh strengthens him. All while the alpha watches him as if he knows who he is.

He has no memory.

No past.

And yet…he’s drawn toward the smoke of a faraway clan.

And in that smoke, he finds a girl with the same mark on her thigh, the same empty mind, and the same forgotten language on her lips.

He’s convinced they know each other.

She’s certain they are strangers.

But the more time they spend together, the more tangled the truth becomes.

Their forgetfulness was deliberate.

To keep them apart.

To keep them lost.

To keep them from claiming their true power.

Because in that power exists a terrible choice.

A choice that could destroy the world…

…or each other.

When a Moth Loved a Bee is the first volume in the Epic Fantasy Romance Destini Chronicles.

A heavily romantic, spice-filled fantasy set in a world where life and death, shadows and stars watch over two forbidden lovers whose powers are best left forgotten.

There are no words to describe how I feel about this book. I live for a good high fantasy romance and the concept that Winters gives us with When a Moth Loved a Bee is something awe inspiring. I know this book will not be everyone’s cup of tea because the fact that it is high fantasy, it is lengthy. It goes into depth and detail. The imagery is stunning and I found myself lost into the world that Winters created. Also, this is book one, so you know what will be coming. If you are not a fan of cliffhangers, hold off reading this one. With that said, I could not get enough. 

The concept alone is something I could not get enough of. Two people. Not memories. But inexplicably drawn to each other. Their chemistry is undeniable but they have no clue as to why they feel so connected. The intrigue and the twistiness is classic Winters but the uniqueness of this story just blew me away. All I can say now is, when can I have book two?
