Before Us by Jewel E. Ann is now live!  Check out my spoiler-free review below and one-click this incredible romance book for FREE using Kindle Unlimited! 


Before Us by Jewel E. Ann Kindle book cover

Blurb:

I never saw him coming.


I didn't know what would happen after my client found me sleeping in my car.

I'd been cleaning his house as his wife was dying.

I didn't expect them to invite me to live with them.

I didn't expect Suzie to become my lifeline—until she was gone.


I didn't expect him to ask me to marry him when he found out I needed medical insurance.


I didn't expect to fall in love with a grieving man.


There are so many reasons to keep my distance from Zach. Every tender moment secreted away.


When we're not together, I miss the man I call husband.

Does he miss his wife? If so, which one?

Spoiler-free Review of Before Us

Before UsBefore Us by Jewel E. Ann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“I think hearts are the one thing in life that work better broken. All those cracks and holes let the love inside. Love is fluid, filling every space, moving with time, a solvent for all other emotions. Until it breaks, I’m not sure we really feel true love.”

Before Us by Jewel E. Ann hit me in the feels, pulled on my heartstrings, and didn't let go. This angsty all-consuming, and compassionate story of love, loss, and second chances captivated me from the first page to the last. I was completely invested in Zach and Emersyn's relationship as they struggled to navigate life and love after a tragic loss. Both characters were perfectly imperfect, with their own emotional baggage to unpack. Their hard-earned journey to find their own HEA was full of the feels. The epilogue alone deserves a chef's kiss! All the stars.

Review: Triple Threat by K. Webster is LIVE!

 He's not just one villain. He's three…Triple Threat by K Webster is now live!  Check out my spoiler-free review of this new mafia romance book. 

Triple Threat by K. Webster Book Cover Kindle Crack


I'm a prisoner in a prestigious world.
A perfect princess locked in a tower.
My father will never let me go.

Not that I could leave. I would never abandon my little sister. Hope comes in the form of a devilishly handsome man with dark eyes and darker secrets.

With each encounter, I'm lured deeper into the labyrinth. The danger lurking beneath his surface calls to me, even as it warns me away.

Except there's a new side of him every time we meet. A different danger each time we touch. It's as if three different men want to devour me.

He's not just one villain. He's three.

Review of Triple Threat

Triple Threat (Deception Duet, #1)Triple Threat by K. Webster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Triple Threat is the first book in the Deception Duet by K. Webster. We first met the terror triplets in the K. Webster's Cinderella series. The evil terror triplets have a new target for their ill-placed twisted affections. Landry Croft is a sheltered college student who wants to escape her abusive home along with her younger sister. Landry has no clue that the Morelli crime family is targeting her because of her father's growing connections to the Constantine crime family.

The triplets are tapped by their mafia Uncle to embed themselves in her life. She has no idea that she is involved with all three brothers. Landry also has no idea that she is a plaything for the boys and the object of their twisted obsessions. I can't wait to see how it all plays on in Death Wish (Deception Duet #2) on March 29th.

Spoiler-free Review:

Deliver Us From Evil (Deliver Us From Evil, #3)Deliver Us From Evil by Monica James
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Deliver Us From Evil by Monica James was nothing short of a thrill ride. Monica takes mafia romance to another level with the final book in the trilogy. This intense Irish mafia trilogy was equally raw and brutal. Monica brilliantly tied up Puck and Cami's story of loyalty and love with some well-placed plot twists! I know this is the final book in the series, but I could definitely see a spin-off series (fingers crossed). I'm not ready to let these characters go. 


Bio

Monica James spent her youth devouring the works of Anne Rice, William Shakespeare, and Emily Dickinson. When she is not writing, Monica is busy running her own business, but she always finds a balance between the two.

She is a bestselling author in the U.S.A., Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Israel, and the U.K.

Review: Lessons in Sin by Pam Godwin is LIVE!

Lessons in Sin by Pam Godwin is now live!  Check out my spoiler-free review below!  This forbidden romance is crazy hot!

Lessons in Sin by Pam Godwin

Synopsis:

There's no absolution for the things I've done.
But I found a way to control my impulses.
I became a priest.

As Father Magnus Falke, I suppress my cravings. As the headteacher of a Catholic boarding school, I'm never tempted by a student.

Until Tinsley Constantine.

The bratty princess challenges my rules and awakens my dark nature. With each punishment I lash upon her, I want more. In my classroom, private rectory, and bent over my altar, I want all of her.

One touch risks everything I stand for. My faith. My redemption. And even my life.

As if that could stop me. I need her pain, and her heart, and she needs my lessons in sin.

Lessons in Sin by Pam Godwin teaser video 

Holy hell! Lessons in Sin by Pam Godwin is a crazy hot, forbidden romance with a mafia twist!!! What a fantastic and unputdownable story! This is one of those books that I prayed was going to be a series, but it's a total standalone. I was over the moon when I discovered crossover characters from K.Webster's Stroke of Midnight (Cinderella series) and Becker Gray's Wicked Idol (Hell Fire series) in Lessons in Sin. I loved both series, so this made it so extra! You do not need to read either series before reading Lessons in Sin. It's a pure (or not so pure wink wink ;) standalone. Lessons in Sin is not to be missed.

 Review of Somehow Finding Us 

Somehow Finding Us (Second Chance Sinners, #2)Somehow Finding Us by Claudia Y. Burgoa
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 - 5.0 Somehow Finding Us (Second Chance Sinners #2) by Claudia Burgoa picks up where Pieces of Us (Second Chance Sinners #1) left off. A life filled with sex, drug abuse, music, lies, and emotional trauma has finally caught up with The Sinners from Seattle band. Zeke and Ethan’s relationship is put to the test. The two tiptoe on a landmine of emotional dysfunction while they find their way back to each other. Their journey was a bittersweet and heartfelt journey of love, healing, and redemption. Zeke and Ethan get their hard-earned and much-deserved HEA. Somehow Finding Us is a must-read, after you first devour Pieces of Us.

THE DEVIL’S CROWN 
PART ONE
Monica James 

I was feared.
Respected.
Worshiped.

My empire crumbled. People died. I went from being a victorious leader to lurking in the shadows, planning revenge on my half-brother who now reigns in my place.
An orphanage is where I find sanctuary, but when she walks into my world and evokes a yearning I thought long dead, my demons are awakened and want what they can’t have—her. Sooner or later, I knew I’d need to feed the darkness inside me. 
Mayhem, power, and control course through my veins. I will use them to regain my crown, my throne, and then claim her, despite what solemn vows she might’ve made. 
I will break them…and her.

Best Romance Books of 2019: The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros

Check out my spoiler-free book review The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros.  This military romance is going on my Best of 2019 list!

The right words can save your life.
For fans of Nicholas Sparks and Jodi Picoult... A soldier falls in love with his battle buddy’s sister through their letters and returns home from Afghanistan with a secret that could destroy their fragile relationship. Don’t miss THE LAST LETTER by Rebecca Yarros! 
Army dog tag book cover

About THE LAST LETTER:

Beckett,

If you’re reading this, well, you know the “last-letter” drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there were any chance you could have saved me, you would have.

I need one thing from you: Get out of the army and get to Telluride.

My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. It’s not fair.

And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart. She’s going to need help.

So if I’m gone, that means I can’t be there for Ella. I can’t help them through this. But you can. So I’m begging you, as my best friend, go take care of my sister, my family.

Please don’t make her go through it alone.

Ryan

Review of The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
description

I finished this book a little over than four weeks ago, and I’m still trying to write a review worthy of this book. I’m getting there. The Last Letter was heartbreakingly beautiful, devastatingly intense and rocked my heart and soul. You need to go in blind and experience this book. All the feels! All the stars! Grab a box of tissues. I’m blown away. The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros is going on my Best of 2019 list.

"I cannot imagine a world without this story." 
–Hypable

"A stunning, emotional romance." - Jill Shalvis, NYT Bestselling Author 

Excerpt: 

“Ella.” It was a plea to speak, to not speak. Hell, I didn’t know anymore.
“You don’t see me like that. I totally get it.” She reached for the TV remote.
“How exactly do I see you? Please, enlighten me.” I leaned forward, stealing the remote. She’d opened this box and had better well dish it.
She huffed in annoyance. “You see me as a mom. As Colt and Maisie’s mom. And of course you do, because that’s what I am. A mom with two kids.”
“Well, yeah,” I said. Her motherhood—that selfless devotion she had to her kids—was one of her most attractive attributes.
She rolled her eyes with a little sigh, and the metaphorical light bulb went off in my head.
“You don’t think I want you.”
She shot me a look that confirmed my guess and blushed the same crimson of her couch. “You know, you’re right. It’s late.” She faked a yawn. “Suuuuuuper late.”
“I want you.” Damn, it felt so good to say the words.
“Yeah, okay.” She gave me a goofy look and a thumbs-up. “Please don’t make me feel any more idiotic than I do right now.”
Yeah, enough of this bullshit.
I pounced in one smooth motion, taking her back to the couch, sliding over her as I gathered her wrists in one hand above her head and settled between her open thighs.
Home.
“Holy shit, you move fast.” There was no fear or rejection in her eyes, just surprise.
“Not in every arena,” I promised.
Her lips parted.
“Ella. I want you.”
“Beckett…you don’t have to.”
Yeah, that soft little sigh she did was going to be my undoing.
I let go of her wrists, letting my fingers trail down her arm until I had one hand weaving my fingers into the hair at the base of her scalp and the other at the curve in her waist.
“Feel this?” Then I slid forward, letting my dick stroke along the seam in her pajama pants hard enough for her to gasp at the contact. I couldn’t remember ever wanting to shred a piece of fabric so much in my life. “I’ve never wanted a woman as much as I want you.”
I moved again, and her eyes slid shut as she let loose the sweetest moan.
My dick throbbed, knowing everything I’d fantasized about for the better part of the last eight months was one decision away.
“Beckett.” Her hands found my biceps, her nails digging in.
“Don’t ever think that I don’t want you, because if things were different, I would have already been inside you. I would know exactly how you feel, and what you sound like, look like, when you come. I’ve thought about it at least a hundred different ways, and believe me, I’ve got a great imagination.”
She rocked her hips against me, and I locked my jaw to keep from giving her exactly what her body was asking for. “Ella, you have to stop.”
“Why?” she asked, her lips dangerously close to mine. “What do you mean if things were different?” Her eyes flew wide. “Is this because I have kids?”
“What? No. Of course not. It’s because you’re Ryan’s little sister.” Before I could do any more damage, I got the hell off her and sat back on my side of thecouch.
“Because…I’m Ryan’s little sister,” she repeated, scooting so she sat upright, facing me. “And you think he’d, what? Haunt you?”
Three things: The letter. The cancer. The lie.
I repeated those in my head until I was certain I could look at her and not drag her back under me.
“Beckett?”
“When I was growing up, if I wanted something, I took it. Immediately. I had sex at fourteen with a girl in my foster home of the moment. I opened Christmas presents early if I was lucky enough to get one, and it was usually from my social worker or some charity.”
“I don’t understand.” She wrapped her arms around her knees again.
“I took it immediately because I knew if I didn’t, chances were I wouldn’t get it. It was a now-or-never kind of thing—there weren’t second chances.”
“Okay.”
“I can’t touch you, can’t talk about it, because I’m afraid I’ll act on it.”
“And why does that matter if I want you to?”
“Because I won’t get a second chance. And I’m crap with people, with relationships. I’ve never had one that lasted more than a month. Never loved a woman I’ve slept with. And chances are I’d do something to screw this up, because it’s not just my dick that wants you, Ella.”
That O popped right back onto her face, and I closed my eyes to keep from lunging across the distance and kissing her. Knowing she’d let me—that she wanted it—sent my need from a bullet to a nuclear missile.
“And when I’d screw it up, because it would happen, trust me, it would hurt Colt and Maisie, too. You’d be on your own again, because there’s no chance you’d let me hang around and help you out like Ryan asked.”
“And there it is.”
“There it is. You’re Ryan’s little sister.”
“There were only five years between us. Not so little, you know.” She reached for the remote.
“I’m well aware.”
“So if Ryan were still alive…” She shot one last look at me.
I let everything slip for a millisecond, letting her see it all in my eyes, how badly I wanted her, and not just for her body. “Everything would be different.”
“Everything?”
“Everything but the way I feel about you, which he probably would have killed me for. Where does that leave us?”
“You mean besides me being a dried-up spinster and you being honor-bound to a ghost?”
“Something like that.”
She rolled her head along the back of the couch, muttering something that sounded like a curse word under her breath. Then she sat up straight and powered on the TV with a click of her thumb. “That leaves us choosing a movie on demand. Because I’m not letting you walk out that door right now.”
“You’re not?”
“Nope. You walk out now, you might get all weird about this and not come back. Honor is a fabulous thing, but sometimes pride can be a lot stronger, especially when you convince yourself it’s for the good of the other person.”
Damn, the woman knew me.
“So movie it is,” I agreed. “Just…stay on your side of the couch.”
“I wasn’t the one who crossed the center line,” she teased with a smile that got me hard all over again.
Movie chosen, we sat and watched, both of us stealing sideways glances. There was that saying…the horse out of the barn. Yeah, the horse was out of the barn, and it wasn’t going back in. Not no way. Not no how.
That horse was running amok and screwing with my carefully constructed control.
But I didn’t complain when she moved over. Or when she pressed against my side. Nope. I lifted my arm and savored the feel of her curves, her trust. Still didn’t complain when she lay down in my arms. Hell no, I held on and memorized every second.

About Rebecca Yarros:

Rebecca Yarros is a hopeless romantic and lover of all things chocolate, coffee, and Paleo. In addition to being a mom, military wife, and blogger, she can never choose between Young Adult and New Adult fiction, so she writes both. She's a graduate of Troy University, where she studied European history and English, but still holds out hope for an acceptance letter to Hogwarts. Her blog, The Only Girl Among Boys, has been voted the Top Military Mom Blog the last two years and celebrates the complex issues surrounding the military life she adores. When she's not writing, she's tying on hockey skates for her kids, or sneaking in some guitar time. She is madly in love with her army-aviator husband of eleven years, and they're currently stationed in Upstate NY with their gaggle of rambunctious kiddos and snoring English Bulldog, but she would always rather be home in Colorado.
