Review-Never Trust the Living- Lani Lynn Vale

 


It’s not every day that someone tries to pin a murder on you and a random girl you just met. But Bram Crow isn’t your average, everyday guy, either.

One second, he’s hiding evidence with the girl, and the next, he has to marry her so a police detective doesn’t get suspicious.

Did he mention that he had a long-term girlfriend at the time?

To say that things didn’t go as planned would be an understatement.

To say that falling in love with his wife definitely wasn’t part of the plan either.

Nor was her leaving him when he finally realized she was his world.


Our Review:

"Speak now or forever hold your piece, 5 stars" 

I feel like I've been waiting on Bram and Dory's story for forever. These two, *sigh*. They are the very definition as to why you should never leave words unspoken. Their relationship started off unorthodox then stayed that way. It was complete torture. My heart ached for Dory and I wanted to slam Bram's head into a wall a thousand and one times. Finally though our boy pulled his head out of where the sun doesn't shine and got it together in the knick of time. It was a fantastic end to the series that left you on your toes until the last page. Vale killed it with this one.

Release + Review - The Faceoff Cali Melle





 Eden

After experiencing a nasty break-up during my freshman year, there is one type of guy that I refuse to get involved with.

Anyone from the university’s hockey team.

Hayden King is arrogant, cocky, has a reputation for being a playboy and there isn’t a single thing about him that I like.

One drunken summer night turns into a bad decision with Hayden. One that I swear that I’ll never make again.

But once senior year starts, I can’t seem to get away from him. He’s everywhere I go, everywhere I turn.

He’s under my skin and I find myself making mistake after mistake with him.

We better learn from our mistakes before our hearts get involved…

Hayden

Eden Finley is as cold as the ice that she skates on.

She’s the best figure skater at Wyncote University and I don’t know how I missed her when I first came here.

After one night with her over the summer, I can’t get her out of my head.

She has a chip on her shoulder, a nasty attitude and she hates my guts.

Which all only makes her more appealing.

I live for the chase, for the challenge.

And Eden Finley has no idea what she’s gotten herself into….



Louise's Review


The Faceoff is book 4 in the Wyncote Wolves series, a Hockey romance with a HEA.

Hayden is settled into his new team, after having to start fresh at a new school because of his coaches daughter he is making it. When he meets this gorgeous girl with only 1 thing on her agenda.

Eden is not a fan of hockey players, they get preference and she is sick of it. When Hayden doesn't give up she finds herself his number 1 fan.

I personally really enjoyed this story, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this series and i cannot wait to get my hands on the next book.

Release - Nobody Cares Unless You're Pretty -





NOBODY CARES UNLESS YOU'RE PRETTY by Lani Lynn Vale is OUT NOW!!!

The problem with Wake was that he was understandable. He was the type of villain that literally scared the absolute shit out of you because you knew that under the right circumstances, you could end up exactly like him.

Which, sadly, was the case for me.

I’d done the exact same thing as Wake, and now I was a murderer just like him.

Did I know that I did wrong? Hell yes.

Did I regret that? Hell no.

Did I plan on changing a thing? Also, no.

Was I falling in love with a man that should scare the shit out of me? A resounding hell yes.

Release + Review - These Defiant Souls - LA Cotton



 


𝗔 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘀𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘁𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀  𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝙐𝙎𝘼 𝙏𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝙒𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙅𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 𝗟 𝗔 𝗖𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗻!


Celeste Rowe is lucky.


At least, that’s what everyone thinks. Rich, beautiful, and smart, she has it all.


She knows one thing though: the heart is a treacherous thing.


It wants what it wants. You can try to fight it. Ignore it. But in the end, it’ll ruin you.


Zane Washington is doomed.


At least, that’s what it feels like. Poor, cynical, and desperate, he’s carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.


He knows one thing though: the heart is a treacherous thing.


It wants what it wants. You can try and resist it. Avoid it. But in the end, it will break you.


On paper, they couldn’t be more different. But Celeste and Zane are about to discover that, sometimes, the very thing you shouldn’t want, is the only thing you need.


And maybe it’s time for love to defy the odds.

Louise's Review

These Defiant Souls is book 3 in the Darling Hill series, this is a new to me series and i will 100% be going back and reading book 1 & 2.

Celeste is living a very lonely life, from the outside she has this perfect life living up to all her parents wishes; but behind the doors she is lonely longing for friendships and 1 boy in particular.

Zane is trying to keep his head above water, juggling school, work & looking after his Grandmother, when the perfect rich Celeste keeps showing up everywhere. Is she really the perfect rich girl or is she everything he ever wanted.

I personally really enjoyed this story, Cotton has delivered a fantastic plot and I cannot wait to go back and read books 1 & 2!

Release + Review - The Secrets you Keep - Tracy Lorraine



 


USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Tracy Lorraine brings you a full length, standalone forbidden romance set in her Maddison Kings University world.


As a teenager, my naïve heart beat for two boys…

Two unattainable, older, forbidden boys. The kind of boys mothers warn their daughters about.

Tristan was the guy everyone wanted… but he was also my older brother’s best friend. Smart, kind, and hot as hell, with a one-way ticket straight to the NFL.

And then there was Knox… my bad-boy stepbrother. Only a year older, he made me feel like I was a silly little girl with a crush… until the first time he kissed me.

The hot, soon-to-be-inked-up gangster from the wrong part of town broke every rule, and shattered hearts… I just never expected one of them to be mine.

All these years later, I can barely remember the shy girl I was back then, back before Knox Bowman burned me.

Now I’m a junior at Maddison Kings University, and they just walked back into my life, throwing my world into a tailspin. Tristan is there for me when things go up in smoke. And Knox is there striking matches, tempting me like a ghost in the night with his darkness.

But I’m all grown up now and I’m ready to go after what I want.

And my damaged heart still wants them both.

Things are different now though.

They’re lying to me… and the secrets about my past have the power to tear my heart in two.

Dear reader,
Do you like your alphas possessive and dirty? Well, you're in luck because you'll find two in The Secrets You Keep. Dive back into my Maddison Kings world with this forbidden mfm romance. After all, why should you have to choose between your brother's best friend and your stepbrother when you could just have both ...

Louise's Review
The Secrets You Keep!! Ekk What a great story, it has all the feels with heartbreak, love & spice!

Violet is still living with what happened to her family all those years ago and when Tristan comes back into her life there is no stopping her from going after what she has wanted for years. When her past comes back into her life all the secrets that they have been keeping come to light. Knox is not only now a free man but be he isn't letting Violet get away.

I personally loved this story, TSYK is a why choose story that Tracy has nailed (as always!)
