New week new stack of books on my to read pile. I've got a huge stack on my list this week. I'm doing a little catching up.
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.

Filthy, ruined, and left for dead. What a perfect birthday gift…
Four powerful, mythical men want to claim me as theirs: 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, c heroine, and a familiar world full of shifters, danger, and excitement?

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.

Avery thought her suffering had ended.
She thought wrong.
After a traumatic start to life, being adopted was Avery‘s saving grace. She finally had parents who loved her and an entire mansion to call home. Her days were spent reading in the library and exploring her passion for ballet. Until a fateful accident changed everything, and left her at the mercy of her step-brother.
Transferred to his boarding school, Avery’s solace comes to an abrupt end. Especially as the moment she stepped through the gates, her stepbrother and his gang of tormented souls branded her as fresh meat. He hates her, they want her. Whoever prevails, Avery refuses to surrender her mind or body without a fight.
Review
I received Forged by Shadows in return for an honest review from Chaotic Influencers.
I love Avery she's such a great character even after everything she's had to endure she's come out stronger. I love the men in her life they are broken but together it just works. I'm a huge fan of broken people finding each other and healing each other. All of the characters are perfect they complement each other and together it just works.
I ended up devouring this one over a couple of days because it's a chunky book but it was hard to put down. I loved the characters all of them even Wyatt who's got his own issues. I'm not sure which of Avery's men is my favorite because they are all unique and offer something different. I just loved them all.
Forged by Shadows is a dark captivating story that stole a little place in my heart it was hard to put down. I can not wait for the next one to come out because I can't stop thinking about it Avery and her men. This is my first book by the author but she nailed it and blew all my expectations out of the water. I'm hooked and obsessed with her story telling style and I'm already reading her other books while I wait for the next one. Highly recommend if you love a dark romance this is a must read. Forged by Shadows may be my favorite read for 2024 it's just that good.
