Flying commercial is the bane of my existence.


Until the fiery redheaded flight attendant with emerald eyes falls into my lap.

The spark between us is instant. And from the moment her body crashes into mine, I know I need more than just a few hours in the sky with her.


The next time our paths cross, she tells me she’s headed out of the country, and I don’t hesitate to make sure I’m on her flight.

Our time together is filled with a passion I didn’t know existed. And for a moment, I allow myself to imagine what it would be like if our temporary arrangement turned into forever.

Until a call in the middle of the night pulls me back to reality, reminding me that with the enemies I have, letting her get too close would make her my greatest weakness—one I can’t afford.

Four years later, fate intervenes. Because she’s back, serving drinks on my private flight, and she’s apparently been keeping secrets.

With one phone call, I learn she’s been raising my son while pretending I don’t exist.


Now, with my enemies closing in and our secret out, they’re both in danger, and I’m done playing this game her way.


She might not trust me, but I’ll stop at nothing to keep them safe—even if I have to drag her kicking and screaming into my world.

Spoiler-free Review

Sweetest Sin (Tempting Love, #1)Sweetest Sin by Nikki Ash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sweetest Sin by Nikki Ash is the unputdownable first book in the Tempting Love series. A one-night stand with a dangerous mafia crime boss turns into so much more when Peyton, a flight attendant, crosses paths with Dominick on a flight that changes both of their lives forever.

This heart-pounding mafia romance had me hooked from the very first page. After their explosive night together, Peyton finds herself pregnant and raising her son alone until fate gives her and Dominick a second chance. Entering his world won’t be easy. Peyton wants nothing to do with the violence and danger that surround him, while Dominick is determined to prove he can keep her and their son safe. Their wicked chemistry is undeniable, but is it enough to survive the high stakes of love and family in the mafia underworld?

Nikki perfectly sets the stage with rich family dynamics, weaving in Dominick’s siblings and the complex loyalties that come with their violent history. THAT ENDING! It left me absolutely desperate for more. I’m counting down the days until Matteo’s story, Deadliest Desire, releases on January 8th.
Sweetest Sin is a fantastic, addictive start to this new mafia romance and absolutely one-click worthy

Synopsis:

From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Hartmann comes an all-new standalone crossover romance filled with heartache and dreams.


Lexington Hall and I were never supposed to collide—he, the golden boy of Hollywood, and me, a small-town dreamer with stars in my eyes. But when we shared the stage in our high school musical, something ignited.


Then, just as quickly, it all fell apart, leaving my dreams in pieces.


Now, four years later, Lex is a household name, turning our past into a television sensation. He's spun our story for the world to see, while I'm still haunted by what we lost.


With millions obsessed over the "real" Stevie St. James, Lex reappears with an offer too tempting to turn down: a fake romance to keep the buzz alive, in exchange for the financial freedom I desperately need.


I convince myself I can play the part. But as old feelings resurface and new risks emerge, the line between fiction and reality begins to blur.


Dreams are easy to chase—but falling for the guy who shattered mine could cost me everything.


Spoiler-free Review

Dream On (Deluxe Edition)Dream On by Jennifer Hartmann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jennifer Hartmann, what did you do to my heart? I just got sucker punched in the feels—in the best, most devastating way.

Dream On is an unforgettable slow-burn romance about Stevie, a farm-town girl with big dreams, and Lex, an emotionally guarded Hollywood actor grappling with a troubled past and his growing feelings for Stevie. Their complicated love story unfolds through scripts, music, and a connection that begins to blur the line between acting and reality. Lex is able to express his true emotions through the roles he plays or behind a cell phone screen. Their connection is electric, and I was thoroughly invested in these two characters.

This book is everything. I savored every word from the first to the last page. The feels. What an epic journey. Dream On might just be my favorite book by Jennifer Hartmann.
Hands down, Dream On is one of my top reads of the year.

Review: Wildflowers by Kylie Scott

Wildflowers, a heart-pounding apocalyptic romance from New York Times bestselling author Kylie Scott, is LIVE!  Check out my spoiler-free review below.

Synopsis: 

There’s only one person Dean Wallace wants to save from the end of the world: sunshine girl from across the street. She’s always smiling. Who knows, maybe she can teach him a thing or two about how to live? But saving her against her will is harder than he expected.


Astrid Hardy doesn’t know what to think when she wakes up in her hot neighbor’s basement. He says he wants to protect her from the deadly virus threatening to collapse society. But that sounds like paranoid conspiracy theory nonsense, and losing her sh*t seems like the correct response.


As they watch the downfall of the world play out online, hear approaching gunshots, and smell smoke from nearby burning buildings, it all starts to seem horribly realistic. With almost everyone they know dead, and law and order gone…how will they navigate this new world together?


Spoiler-free Review:

WildflowersWildflowers by Kylie Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wildflowers by Kylie Scott is a catastrophic romance that caught me completely off guard in the best way. Astrid never expected Dean, her neighbor, to kidnap her just before a mysterious, COVID-like virus decimated the world. What follows is a front-row seat to the apocalypse, peppered with unexpected humor, heartbreak, and a slow-burn romance that blooms amid the ashes. I don’t usually gravitate toward apocalyptic stories, but I’m glad I took a chance on this unlikely romance. Wildflowers is raw, darkly funny, and unexpectedly tender.

Review: Sweet Surrender by K. Bromberg

Sweet Surrender is now live! Sweet Surrender by K. Bromberg is a sexy, rock star, marriage of convenience romance by New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg is live and available using Kindle Unlimited. Check out my spoiler-free review. 

Sweet Surrender by K. Bromberg Kindle Crack

Synopsis:

Jase Gizmodo is the wild card of the world-famous band BENT. He drums like a legend, lives like a rebel, and attracts headlines like a magnet. But when his recklessness causes a no-nonsense judge to threaten the band's upcoming international tour, he needs a quick fix—and proof that he’s settling down might just do the trick.


Enter Hendrix Wright. Cookie queen. Small business owner. And barely hanging on. Her dream bakery is on the brink of closing its doors thanks to her ex’s betrayal, and she needs a miracle. Who knew a chance meeting with a charming, enigmatic, and incredibly sexy stranger in a coffee shop would change all that?


So when that stranger, Jase, offers her a deal—a temporary marriage for the cameras in exchange for the money to save her bakery—Hendrix should run. Fast. But instead, she finds that the more time they spend faking wedded bliss, the more real their chemistry feels.


Because falling for a rockstar was never part of the plan.

But surrendering? That might be the sweetest risk of all.

Review of Sweet Surrender

Sweet Surrender (Backstage Pass Book 2)Sweet Surrender by K. Bromberg
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 Sweet Surrender by K. Bromberg is the second irresistible installment in the Backstage Pass series of interconnected standalones. I read Sweet Ache back in 2015, where I met the boys from the band Bent. 

This time, it's Bent's drummer Jase Gizmodo's turn in the spotlight, and he has some serious damage control to do. With the band's future tour on the line, Jase is pressured to clean up his wild image. He meets Hendrix Wright, a sweet and sassy cookie baker who's just trying to keep her business afloat after a bad breakup that left her broke. She needs dough (literally), and he needs a redemption arc. What starts as a mutually beneficial arrangement organically spirals into something neither of them saw coming. Jase and Hendrix fill the gaps in each other's hearts in the most beautiful, emotional ways, and their journey is pure rock and roll magic.

This sinfully sexy and sweet rock star romance doesn't miss a beat. Sweet Surrender rocked my world and tugged at every emotional heartstring.  I can't wait to read Vince and Rocket's upcoming books this summer.

Review: Worth the Fight by K. Bromberg

Worth the Fight by K. Bromberg is live and available on Kindle Unlimited. This firefighter romance was equally emotional and addictive. Check out my spoiler-free review below. 

Worth the Fight by K. Bromberg  Kindle Crack

A fiery roommates to lovers, small town, firefighter romance from New York Times bestselling author, K. Bromberg


He can do all kinds of dirty things to her…


That’s the first thought in songwriter Dylan McCoy’s head when she sees firefighter Grady Malone.


Her second? A rebound has never looked so good.


But she’s been burned by a number of people lately.


A famous, ex-boyfriend she still has to work with. A binding contract. A demanding agent. She needs a break from them all. A place to go to nurse her wounds.


When she finds herself in the small town of Sunnyville, she refuses to let her new firefighter roommate burn her too. Unless…. it’s with their sizzling chemistry.


Grady is sexy. Charismatic. Unapologetic. And a man who carries his own wounds—the ones fire scarred on his back, the survivor’s guilt on his soul, and the fear in his heart.


When an unexpected visitor puts their roommate status to the test, will their

undeniable attraction burn out, or will they both take a chance and play with the fire burning between them …forever?

Spoiler-free Review of Worth the Fight

Worth the Fight (The Malone Brothers)Worth the Fight by K. Bromberg
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The fires in this book aren't the only thing that's hot. I knew Worth The Fight by K. Bromberg would be good and not just another firefighter romance. I always expect a little more from K. Bromberg's books, and I'm happy to say she delivered another emotional and addictive read.

Grady was mentally and physically scarred after a deadly warehouse fire. He won't let anyone in his life after having come so close to death. Grady doesn't think he should be involved in a serious relationship. Who would want to be involved with someone who could die every day at work?

Dylan is an LA-based songwriter who packed her emotional and physical bags and left her cheating rockstar boyfriend. She is staying at her brother's friend Grady's house in the suburbs to clear her head and finish a project. Her brother forgot to mention that Grady is a firefighter. Sparks ignite between the two. Their budding relationship is the kind of stuff Dylan writes love songs about. Will their insecurities hit a sour note and not end up in a hot love song?

Worth the Fight is hot, heartfelt, and very real and relatable. I really liked these characters and this book!
