Synopsis:

𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒔𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒌𝒆𝒑𝒕 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒉𝒊𝒅𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒔.

𝑩𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝑰'𝒎 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎.

I spend my days locked in a black-market nightmare, held captive by a twisted mastermind who considers me his prized possession. My only form of human contact are the victims in the next room, each of whom disappears faster than the last.

Everyone leaves...except me.

Then I hear him—Isaac. Brash, elusive, and haunted, he isn't anyone's idea of a hero. Separated by a wall, our faces hidden, his voice cuts through the darkness, becoming my only hope. He's driven by vengeance, bearing scars as dark as my own. Despite his rough edges, a fragile bond forms between us—a lifeline.

Isaac might be my best chance of escape, but time is slipping away. Breaking free will mean outrunning both our pasts, and in this twisted game, the cost of freedom may be more than we can afford to pay.

Appearances deceive. Choices have consequences.

And some consequences?
They are irreversible.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had to check my blood pressure while reading Irreversible by Jennifer Hartmann and Chelley St Clair. Irreversible is a dark, soul-sucking masterpiece, a twisted psychological thrill ride that captivated me from page one and never let go.  This addictive captor romance was unputdownable and was filled with mind-bending twists and heart-pounding tension.  I can’t wait to read more books in this new series of interconnected standalones.

CLOSE  PROXIMITY


SLOW BURN


ONE BED


SMALL TOWN


SYNOPSIS:


From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE novel…


Don’t say her name.


That was the one rule my bandmates followed, because they knew how much it messed me up to think about her, especially on tour.


My ex, Nicole.


The one who got away and the woman who still owned every piece of my heart.


After our divorce, I threw myself into the rock scene, trying to forget my heartbreak.


Three years after we split, a phone call from Nicole changed everything.


She told me her grandmother wasn’t doing well.


Mimi was still family to me, and she apparently had one wish before dying: to spend time with us—Nicole and me.


With Mimi’s caretaker away on vacation, it would be the ideal time for us to move in with her for a couple of weeks.


Of course, I couldn’t refuse.


But there was a catch.


Nicole apparently never told her that we’d gotten a divorce.


She hadn’t believed Mimi could handle it, because her grandmother loved me so much.


So, not only would I have to see Nicole again, but I’d be pretending to still be her husband.


Two weeks in a tiny house in a small town with the woman who broke my heart. Or was it me who broke hers?


It was complicated.


And it was about to be a heck of a lot more complicated sharing one bed in the guest room with a woman who wasn’t mine anymore.

Review: The Apple Tree by Jewel E. Ann

The Apple Tree by Jewel E. Ann is now live!  Check out my spoiler-free review and one-click this incredible romance on Kindle Unlimited.

Amazon: https://bit.ly/4hnQsKj

The Apple Tree by Jewel E Ann Cover Kindle Crak

Synopsis:

He’s a single dad starting over in a new town. She’s a relentless flirt with a penchant for trouble, ten years younger than him, and the babysitter. What could go wrong?

Eve has just graduated from high school, but she doesn’t know what’s next aside from working at the local motel, spying on Kyle, her neighbor, and stealing apples from his orchard. If she doesn’t figure things out soon, she’ll be stuck at home and treated like a child forever.

Kyle is a single dad and the new football coach who needs a babysitter for his adorable son. When he meets Eve, there’s an instant connection because she reminds him of someone—himself. But Eve is the preacher’s daughter, off-limits, and Kyle has already had his heart trampled by his ex.

After earning his son’s affection with her homemade apple sauce and youthful spirit, Eve asks Kyle to teach her things like driving his fishing boat and shooting his hunting bow. Despite his better judgment, he agrees, but swears Eve to secrecy so no one gets the wrong idea about them.

Their playful banter and innocent flirting crosses a line, and Kyle misses the heartbreaking secret Eve’s hidden in plain sight.

When tragedy strikes, can they find their way back to each other?


Spoiler-free Review

The Apple Tree (Sunday Morning, #2)The Apple Tree by Jewel E. Ann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another gem by Jewel E. Ann! The Apple Tree (Sunday Morning #2) by Jewel E. Ann is an emotional journey packed with all the feels. In this interconnected standalone series, we first met Eve in Sunday Morning (Book #1), but her story takes center stage in The Apple Tree.

Set in 1987, Eve is an 18-year-old figuring out her way in life. She's tired of being treated like a child by her preacher father and overprotective mother. When Kyle, her older new neighbor, moves in across the apple orchard with his young son, Josh, Eve's life takes a turn she never anticipated.

Jewel delivers an angst-filled, heartfelt journey that hits you right in the feels. Eve and Kyle are perfectly imperfect and flawed characters with some emotional baggage. Their story is as tender as it is turbulent, with moments that will make you laugh, cry, and swoon. Jewel's masterful storytelling takes readers on a rollercoaster of love, self-discovery, and healing. I'm so excited to read Eve's sister Gabby's story next!

He says he’s willing to do anything to help me move on. That I needn’t be afraid of him.

In return, he guards me. Even if it means guarding me from himself.

Texting Dr Stalker: A green-flag stalker standalone romanceTexting Dr. Stalker: A green-flag stalker standalone romance by Pepper Winters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Texting Dr. Stalker by Pepper Winters was so unexpected.  This was my first "Green Flag" romance by Pepper.   The stalker, Dr. Alexander (Zander) North, is stalking his neighbor, Sailor, to keep her safe.  Sailor is healing from a traumatic and abusive situation, and the good doctor is keeping a watchful eye on her. Pepper dialed down her usual inferno of spice and twisted darkness.  Have no worries, spicy romance fans; you'll love this slow-burning and passionate romance.  I know I did.  Texting Dr. Stalker will captivate you from the first text to the last page.  This book is one-click-worthy.
