Synopsis

Filthy, ruined, and left for dead. What a perfect birthday gift.


Four powerful, mythical men want to claim me as a sweet but possessive light pegasus, a reclusive and scarred bear shifter, a deadly, twisted dark pegasus, and an unhinged imp shifter with a soul as fractured as mine.


They’re everywhere I turn—wanting me, loving me, protecting me—no matter how hard I push them away.


But they don’t understand that I can never be theirs. That I can’t accept our bond, that I can’t accept them.


The night my father orchestrated my so-called “initiation,” something inside me broke. A part of me that can never be mended, no matter how much they try.


I can’t acknowledge our mate bond because I can’t bear to be touched. My choice was taken from me, leaving me broken and shattered, a shell of who I once was. And in my struggle to reclaim my life, the only way I know to protect myself is to retreat.


But when a stalker starts leaving a trail of blood in my name, I’m forced out of hiding and into their arms. My mates want me whole. They can’t accept the pieces I offer—not forever.


It feels easier just to let the darkness consume me.


Don’t Touch is the first book in the Not All Men trilogy. It’s a glacial-burn paranormal why choose romance, that contains possessive men, a snarky, coming into herself heroine, and a familiar world full of shifters, danger and excitement.

Review

I received Don't Touch in return for an honest review as part of the tour hosted by Chaotic Creatives. 


I ended up devouring this one it was impossible to put down and even when I had to it was constantly on my mind. I just loved Maeve she's got some issues but I think that's what her so relatable because she wasn't perfect. Her men are perfect they complement her in their own unique ways and together it just works. I think Lucifer might be my favorite as he's a little twisted and dark. However, they all bring something to the group. 


I found the characters easy to connect with and the story captivating. I enjoyed the story it was beautifully written with engaging characters that you can't help falling in love with. I ended up finishing in less then 24 hours after staying up late to finish. I just couldn't put it down and now I have a bit of book hangover. 


This is my first book by the author but I'm obsessed I love a paranormal why choose with broken characters it's my favorite. I'm hooked and can't wait to get my hands on the next one because the cliffhanger was well done and left me dying for more. In the meantime I plan to read her back list because I enjoyed this one so much. Highly recommend for fans of why choose romance this one might be my favorite of this year. I just loved it so much it was just what I've been needing.

Book Review: Hooked on You

Title - Hooked on You
Author - Nikki Ash
Genre -  Billionaire Romance Nanny Single dad, Single mom
Format - Arc Review Copy 
Publication date: September 12th 2024

Synopsis

Kira

Raising my daughter as a single mom wasn’t the life I dreamed of, and neither was being homeless. But thanks to my abusive ex and a broken system, that’s our reality.

Until Ryder Du Ponte finds us sleeping in our SUV in the company parking garage and brings us home with him.

The handsome single dad convinces me to work for him as a live-in nanny. And against my better judgment, I accept.

With each passing day, Ryder becomes more than my boss. My heart is invested, but falling for him means risking everything.

The problem is, I can’t ignore how safe I feel in his arms, and that’s what scares me the most.


Ryder

Money can buy a lot of things, but it can’t buy love. A valuable lesson I learned the hard way—first with my parents and then when my ex chose to take a payoff and walk away.

One day, I’m a single dad, doing my thing, and the next, I have a beautiful nanny and her adorable daughter living under my roof.

Kira Adams is everything I never thought I’d find. She’s not only sweet and selfless, but she’s also a damn good mom to her daughter … and mine.

The longer she’s in our lives, the harder it’ll be to let her go. What started out as friendship has grown into something neither of us expected.

I know I should cut her loose before this thing goes any further, but I can’t. I’m already hooked on her.


*Hooked on You is book two in the Love & Whiskey series but can be read as a standalone*


Review

I received Hooked on You in return for an honest review from the PR firm Enticing Journey Book Promotions. 


I love Kira so sweet and just doing everything she can to keep her daughter safe and happy. Ryder is perfect for her as he also has a young daughter that he's willing to do anything to protect. Together they have this sweet yet undeniable chemistry that just works so well. I loved that they complement each other and the girls get along so well. Ryder is just so swoon worthy the way he reads to Kira I just loved it. 


I ended up devouring Hooked on you in just one afternoon as I was hooked on Kira and Ryder's story. The characters are easy to connect with you can't help falling in love with them and I was able to connect with all of them. It's a fast paced steamy romance that captured my heart as well as my imagination. I just had to see how it would all play out and couldn't stop till the end. 


This is my first book by the author but I'm obsessed she's done such a beautiful job creating a story and characters that I fell in love with. I plan on reading all of her backlist as she's a very talented storyteller. I admit that I haven't read a lot of nanny romance but I'm clearly missing out because this one was adorable. Highly recommend taking the chance you'll be hooked too.

Cover Reveal: Blood Moon

 

Are you ready to be bathed in the Blood Moon? The first book in the Destiny of a Vampire Princess from Melanie Gurenko is coming October 17th!


Preorder & Join the Events Today!

Cover Designer: Melanie Gurenko



Blurb:


Since waking from a coma after a serious car accident, my mind has been in a state of chaos and confusion. I recall historical events and people, yet I feel as though a crucial part of me is missing. Despite the confusion in my life, one thing is clear: I am Olivia Villanueva, daughter of the vampire king of Andalusia.

In six months, I am destined to marry my fiancé, Rafael. Until then, my parents have granted me permission to study at the Academia of Supernatural Beings. However, instead of finding peace and clarity there, I encounter the opposite—especially because of a devilishly handsome werewolf named Killian, who makes me question my entire existence.

What is the truth, and what is an illusion? And what is the mystery behind the professor who disappeared without a trace after my first lecture, whom no one seems to know?


This story is perfect for you if you…

- Have a soft spot for Werewolves,

- Prefer morally grey characters,

- And have always wanted to follow the villain instead of the hero.


About the Author:



Melanie Gurenko is a nerd and author. As a child of the 90s, the Battle of Hogwarts captivated her, and she celebrated the downfall of evil in Middle-earth. There are no classic villains in her books, as she loves the topic of nature vs nurture.

70% workaholic, 20% sarcasm, and 10% life support systems is the description that probably suits her best. When she's not quoting something nerdy or is lost in her next project, she's going on adventures with her son and husband.

🔥 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐭 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 ☞ 𝙃𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙣 𝙔𝙤𝙪: an age gap, double single parent, nanny romance by @authornikkiash is coming September 12th, but while we wait, check out this little tease…

“I’m scared,” I admit. “Every time I thought I’d found myself a prince, he turned out to be the villain. And for the first time, I feel like I’ve finally saved myself. I want to let you in, but I’m scared because if you turn out to be like every other guy, I don’t know if I’ll have it in me to save myself again.”
“You’re so fucking strong,” Ryder murmurs. “Stronger than you give yourself credit for.”
He leans down and brushes his lips against mine. It’s not a long kiss, but it’s enough to remind me of the connection we share.
“I have no doubt that if you got knocked on your ass, you would find a way to get back up,” he says. “And the fact is, even if everything goes perfectly with us, there’s no guarantee that life won’t still knock you down.”
He releases me, and with one hand, he tenderly glides his knuckles down my cheek. “But the difference between those other guys and me is that if you fall, I’ll be there to catch you. And if I can’t, I’ll be right there on the floor with you.”
