𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐞

One minute, I’m minding my own business, and the next, I’m rescuing a beautiful woman in front of my family’s hotel.

I’m not prepared for the instant attraction I feel for her, but the chemistry is undeniable.

Paige warns me all she can give me is London, and I agree, but when our time is up, I’m desperate for more.

I slip my card into her purse, hoping she will call, but after two months of silence, it’s clear she’s not going to.

So, I do what any man in my position would do …

I go after her.


𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐞

What started as a grand gesture for the man I thought was the one ends with me fleeing after catching him with my best friend.

With tears in my eyes and my heart in my hand, I stumble on the cobblestone. One second, I’m closing my eyes and praying I don’t die, and the next, I’m being swept off my feet by a handsome stranger—literally.

Nate shows me passion like I’ve never known, and it only takes five unforgettable days to fall head over heels for him.

Faced with the harsh reality of long-distance love, I make a heart-wrenching decision to throw away his number—a choice I believe will spare us both from inevitable heartbreak.

But after returning home, I realize what a colossal mistake I made. Because what had happened in London didn’t stay in London…

Waiting on You (Love & Whiskey #3)Waiting on You by Nikki Ash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars. What a way to kick off the new year! I just devoured Waiting on You by Nikki Ash, and let me tell you—it was everything I didn't know I needed. This gem is the third standalone in the Love and Whiskey series, and it delivers ALL the feels and magic.

Paige, fresh out of a relationship with a cheating, self-absorbed jerk, literally stumbles into the arms of Nate. Nate, a swoon-worthy hotel executive on business in London, falls head over heels for Paige after one unforgettable night. Cue the nuclear attraction and life-altering plot twists the two worked hard to navigate— an unexpected pregnancy, career decisions, and family issues.  

I can't say I've had many one-night stands when I was single, but if Nate had been in the picture? I'd have fallen just as hard as Paige 😍 Waiting on You is a perfect mix of heat and heart. This sexy and sweet romance left me grinning from ear to ear. Add it to your TBR or one-click on 1/9.

REVIEW OF STEAL MY HEART

Steal My Heart (Rosewood River, #1)Steal My Heart by Laura Pavlov
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 Stars Steal My Heart by Laura Pavlov ended up stealing my heart.    I love diving into Laura's new worlds.  Steal My Heart is the first book in Laura's all-new Rosewood River series, where we met Henley and Easton.  Easton also appeared in Laura's Magnolia Series.  In Steal My Heart, Easton is a grumpy lawyer who must show his boss's daughter the ropes. He catches feelings for her but doesn't think he has the emotional bandwidth to be in a relationship and risk having his heart broken.  Henley is pure sunshine and the two share explosive chemistry.  Their journey to finding an HEA made my heart sing. 

Every time Laura creates a new small town filled with incredible characters, I virtually start to pack my bags to move there.  I could live in her fictional worlds, and Rosewood River looks like my next destination.   Steal My Heart is sweet and spicy small-town gold.  This book is one-click worthy.

Visions of Darkness by A.L. Jackson Kindle Crack

Destined to be together, forbidden to love, two lost souls fight evil in an everyday world that belongs to the night. A dark romantasy by a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author.

Aria Rialta is a girl of two realities. One she was born to. The other she was chosen for. Both are a threat.


Every night when Aria falls asleep, she enters the nightmare world of Faydor to fight a war. It’s her calling to help destroy the Kruen, who feed sin and chaos to our everyday world of vulnerable humans. It would be a lonely realm in which to do battle if not for Pax, Aria’s dangerously irresistible soulmate whose mere touch can kill. It’s also a realm that’s getting harder to escape.


Aria’s hallucinations are seeping into her waking world. And the Kruen are coming for her. To help Aria, Pax must do what no one in Faydor has dared to do before—join his soulmate in the light of day. Giving in to their forbidden attraction could be the death of them, but they might not be able to stop themselves as they embark on a cross-country journey to fight the evils hunting them.


As their desire grows, so do Aria’s untapped powers, and a menacing new force far darker than the Kruen.

Spoiler-free Review

Visions of Darkness (Darkness, #1)Visions of Darkness by A.L. Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Visions of Darkness by A.L. Jackson is her first romantasy/paranormal-related book. Pax and Aria are born to fight underworld goons with nefarious intentions. The two soul mates can see and hear the dark and dangerous thoughts and plans from the underworld beings while in a hellish landscape in their dreams.  The two are in a race to save Aria from the clutches of the most dangerous goon of all who will destroy her and her family.

This book was entertaining.  The story really picked up with a banger of an ending that had me screaming NOOOO when I hit the last page.  Ok, A.L. Jackson, you hooked me on this world of Aria and Pax.  More, please. 

What to expect:
-Only one bed
-Forbidden romance
-Morally gray hero
-Fated mates
-Touch her and d_e

Review: Taking What's Mine by Siobhan Davis

If you enjoy spicy, hot mafia romances, you need to check out Taking What's Mine by Siobhan Davis.  This romance book is available now on Kindle Unlimited.  Read my spoiler-free review below. 


Taking What's Mine by Siobhan Davis Kindle Crack


Synopsis: 

A brand-new interconnected stand-alone dark mafia romance from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Siobhan Davis.


The moment I lay eyes on Valentina Ferraro, I know I have to have her.


There’s just one teeny problem—her husband.


So, I do what any red-blooded, possessed made man would do and I proposition him.


Five million dollars for one weekend with his beautiful young wife.


He agrees, like I knew he would, because he needs the money and he wants his secrets kept hidden from Don D’Onofrio.


Valentina is livid, but I like my women stubborn and fiery and the more she resists, the more I crave her.


One taste of those lush lips is all it takes to seal my fate.


I’m not giving her back.


I don’t care about the existing bad blood between New York and Florida or how this will start a war.


Men have gone into battle for less.


Valentina is the first woman I have wanted to keep, and no other man is ever touching her again.


She is going nowhere, consequences be damned.


I am taking what’s mine.


This is a dark romance and some scenes may be triggering. A full content warning list is available on the author's website. 

Spoiler-free review

Taking What's MineTaking What's Mine by Siobhan Davis ™
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Taking What's Mine by Siobhan Davis is a scorching hot, adrenaline-fueled mafia romance that delivers on every level. Set in the dark and twisted Mazzone Mafia universe, this standalone spinoff exceeded all my expectations. Fiero and Valentina's story is equally intoxicating and utterly addictive. Taking What's Mine reminded me of The Godfather meets Indecent Proposal—a wickedly captivating mix of power, temptation, and forbidden love. I recommend starting with the earlier Mazzone books to fully appreciate the intricate backstory of loyalty, lies, and passion that defines this world. The countdown begins for Protecting What's Mine—Cristian's forbidden age-gap, single-dad, mafia romance, arriving in 2025. I can't wait to read it. If you have any trigger questions, please check out Siobhan's website.

Spoiler-free Review of From Air by Jewel E. Ann 

From Air (Wildfire #1)From Air by Jewel E. Ann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

From Air by Jewel E. Ann (Wildfire #1) ignited my heart from the very first page. Jamie, a traveling psych nurse, finds herself falling for Fitz, her super grumpy firefighter roommate and a smokejumper in Montana. Fitz has built an emotional fireproof barrier around his heart, convinced that he's unworthy of love and incapable of a real relationship. His painful past doesn't allow him to think about his future. 

Jamie is determined to get in Fritz's head in order to crack his heart. Healing someone as broken and guarded as Fitz proves to be no easy task. Their chemistry is undeniable, and their connection blazes into something unforgettable. Together, they're on a collision course—burning down each other's defenses and risking everything for a hard-earned happily ever after.

This story is raw, emotional, and addictive. Jewel E. Ann delivers another unforgettable romance that will leave your heart ablaze.  I can't wait to read more books in this new series of standalones.
