“A marriage born from slavery and secrets.

A happily ever after like no other.”

Sullivan Sinclair has a wife who shares his wildness and desires. To others, she is regal and perfect on his arm. To him, she is a goddess with dirty appetites that need to be fulfilled.

Eleanor Sinclair has a husband who allows her darkest fantasies to come true. Aboard their new luxury yacht, purchased for their cluster of islands called Rapture, he suggests a game of seduction. Another play in Euphoria.

Sea, sky, or sand—thanks to Sully’s unique playground, they can play anywhere. They can change their appearances, distort time, and indulge in romance with no rules.

Eleanor granted Sully’s ultimate fantasy.

Now, it’s Sully’s turn to grant hers.

Jinx and Sully hit the high seas for a water world fantasy, Jinx's Fantasy (Goddess Isles, # 5.2). Sully's one and only Goddess gets to fulfill her Cinta infused fantasies. The two land lovers embark on a one-of-a-kind sexy cruise ship and bring their visions to life.

Blurb:

Two years after the man she loved was killed in Afghanistan, Morgan Bartley is trying to put the pieces of her life back together. The reno on her dilapidated beach house in the Outer Banks might be just the distraction she needs to keep her debilitating anxiety attacks at bay and begin to heal her heart...if she can ignore the ridiculously handsome guy next door.

At twenty-eight, single-dad Jackson Montgomery’s life revolves around his five-year-old daughter and his job as a search-and-rescue pilot for the coast guard. He’s no stranger to saving a damsel in distress, and though his gorgeous new neighbor is clearly in distress, she’s no damsel. She’s stubborn as hell with walls a mile thick, and the dog tags hanging from her rearview mirror give him a pretty good clue as to why.

It doesn’t matter that their attraction is undeniable—she swore she’d never fall for another pilot, let alone a military man. There are some wounds time can’t heal, and some fears too consuming to conquer.

She’s a barely breathing heartbreak on the edge of recovery.

He’s a crash waiting to happen.

Together they could have it all...if they can endure the coming storm.

Spoiler-Free Review of The Reality of Everything

The Reality of Everything by Rebecca Yarros

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 - 5.0 How did I not read the earlier books in The Flight & Glory series by Rebecca Yarros? After reading The Reality of Everything, I realized I missed out on some great books. This interconnected series of standalones can be enjoyed on its own, without feeling lost.

This story focused on Morgan and her journey to overcome crippling anxiety after the death of her boyfriend. She bought a fixer-upper home on the Outer Banks' beach that required some tender loving care, just like herself. She meets Jackson, her hot neighbor, who is a single dad and works for the Coast Guard's Search and Recuse division. This slow-burning romance turns as hot as a beach fire. Morgan and Jackson face some obstacles that they must deal with, or go their separate ways.

Rebecca Yarros is the real hero here. Her portrayal of Morgan's anxiety and treatment was heartfelt and spot-on. I loved Jackson and Morgan and can't wait to read the other books in The Flight & Glory series. 

About the Author:

Blurb:

Can you live a lie?

It’s a ghost town, this place that haunts me, the one that made me.

It’s clear to me that I’ll never outgrow Triple Falls or outlive the time I spent here.

I can still feel them all, my boys of summer.

Even when I’d sensed the danger, I gave in.

I didn’t heed a single warning. I let my sickness, my love, both rule and ruin me. I played my part, eyes wide open, tempting fate until it delivered.

There was never going to be an escape.

All of us are to blame for what happened. All of us serving our own sentences. We were careless and reckless, thinking our youth made us indestructible, exempt from our sins, and it cost us all.

I’m done pretending I didn’t leave the largest part of me between these hills and valleys, between the sea of trees that hold my secrets.

It’s the reason I’m back. To make peace with my fate.

And if I can’t grieve enough to cure myself in my time here, I’ll remain sick. That will be my curse.

But it’s time to confess, to myself more so than any other, that I’d hindered my chances because of the way I was built, and because of the men who built me.

At this point, I just want to make peace with who I am, no matter what ending I get.

Review of Exodus

Exodus by Kate  Stewart

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I couldn't breathe until I hit the last page of Exodus (The Ravenhood Duet #2) by Kate Stewart. Exodus picked-up exactly where Flock (The Ravenhood Duet #1) left off, without skipping a beat.  Like the first book, Exodus is brilliantly written and equally seductive, savage, complex, and intense. The Ravenhood's secrets start to unravel through many intricate plot twists. You will not want to put this book down except to throw it at the wall. I felt for Cecelia. She reminded me of Bella Swan from the Twilight series with her romantic attachments and heartbreaking narrative.  There is a fine line between love, hate, and obsession, and Kate Stewart exposed every character's impenetrable nerve endings. I felt my heart splintering for Cecelia as she blindly navigated her life like a puppet in a twisted game of chess. Was she just a Pawn in a ruthless game or really a Queen of her own disastrous choices? This series is on my best of 2020 list! 
 

Because I can no longer live a lie.

THE DEVIL’S CROWN 

PART ONE

Monica James 

I was feared.

Respected.

Worshiped.

But all of that changed when the impossible happened—I fell in love. Only those feelings weren’t reciprocated, because who could love a monster like me?

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.

Review of The Devils Crown
The Devil's Crown: Part One by Monica  James
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



“Hell is empty, and all the devils are here.” William Shakespeare

OMG, The Devils Crown by Monica James, is incredible. What a dark and twisted web of revenge, deceit, and love. My head is spinning from this all-consuming addictive story. Monica James is on the fast track to becoming one of my favorite dark romance authors. One-click this one!

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 enjoys writing honest, heartfelt, and turbulent stories, hoping to leave an imprint on her readers. She draws her inspiration from life. 

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

Monica James resides in Melbourne, Australia, with her wonderful family, and menagerie of animals. She is slightly obsessed with cats, chucks, and lip gloss, and secretly wishes she was a ninja on the weekends.

BLURB

Ford

I don’t have time for distractions.

I have a billion-dollar company to run. A father to grieve.

A legacy to fulfill.

Harley DeLuca is not my type.

She’s snarky.

She's stubborn.

And she’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen—even in her ridiculous grungy tennis shoes.

I can’t get enough of her.

Harley

I was a mistake from the moment of conception.

The sins of my mother have followed me like a nightmare in a horror flick.

I’m determined to make a life for myself, free of my past.

I have three goals.

Open a bakery.

Keep Gramps safe.

And forget that I’m Valentina DeLuca’s daughter.

There’s no room in my life for a man.

Especially an arrogant, condescending jerk like Ford Montgomery. 

But now he's my business partner.

My friend.

And if I'm not careful, he just might be—everything.

Review of Legacy

Legacy by Laura Pavlov

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Legacy is the first book in Laura Pavlov’s Montgomery Brothers series, and I loved it! If you like strong, smart female characters and cocky heroes, you will devour this unputdownable book. After a challenging upbringing and tumultuous childhood, Harley is living her dream.  Ford doesn’t do relationships, especially with a sassy business associate. The two share emotional baggage from bad relationships and family issues. Harley and Fords’ pasts and the present collide and life as they know it will change forever.  Legacy had great characters and the perfect amount of drama and steam. I can’t wait to read the other brothers’ books! One-click worthy! 

EXCERPT

“What time are you opening the doors?” he asked, his gaze made a slow perusal of me from head to toe, stopping at my feet and huffing. “Do you own anything aside from tennis shoes?”

I rolled my eyes. “We open at seven, which is when you open, correct?”

“That’s when the building opens. I get here by six-thirty, and the Wilsons always had a cup of coffee ready to go for me,” the smug bastard said, looking around and taking in all the details. “This actually looks—nice.”

I laughed. “Thanks, I guess.”

“So, I haven’t found another place that makes coffee like they did. I was hoping you make a decent cup and I could stop here on my way up in the morning and grab it.”

“Well, I won’t be staring out the window waiting for your arrival, but you’re welcome to stop by, and we’ll pour you a cup to go, your highness.”

“That’s fine. As long as you can actually make coffee that’s tolerable.” He smirked. Ford wore a black suit, and a white dress shirt, tailored to fit his broad, chiseled body just so. His brown hair was a bit longer on top and styled to perfection.

“I can’t wait to hear how high maintenance your order is. I mean, this ain’t Starbucks, bud.”

He rolled his eyes. “I take my coffee black.”

My head fell back, and I barked out a laugh. “Black? And you’re being dramatic about it? How hard is it to make a cup of black coffee?”

“It’s all about the beans.” He crossed his arms in front of his chest and raised a brow at me. Smug bastard.

“You know, this is why rich men get a bad name. You’re ridiculous,” I said before shouting out to my bestie in the back. “Molly, can you grab me a cup of black coffee to go. Use the real swanky beans, okay?”

He chuckled. Ford freaking Montgomery the forty thousandth actually laughed. I was surprised to see he had an actual sense of humor under his arrogant, annoying demeanor.
