Synopsis

Dominick

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.

My Review

I received a copy of Sweetest Sin from the author in return for an honest review. 

Peyton and Dominic has this instant chemistry that neither one can deny but the reality of their situations is that he can't give her what she wants. So one night is all they get till he runs into her four years later to find the spark is still there and she's been hiding a secret. Dominic's kind of perfect for Peyton even if he is born into the mafia he's our morally grey mmc that we all swoon after and he checks all the boxes.

I've not been a huge fan of surprise pregnacy tropes in the past but this one has made me a fan. I didn't know I needed these in my life till Sweetest Sin. I loved every moment of Peyton and Dominic's story I just devoured it in one afternoon it was hard to put down. I love that we get to know his siblings and I feel like I was able to connect with all the characters. 

Sweetest Sin is a beautiful written story with characters to fall in love with and I was hooked till the very last page. This is not my first book by the author she's an autobuy for me as every book I've read by her has been fantastic. I loved this one so much and it might be my favorite of hers. I'm glad to see we have three more in the series because I'm not ready for this world to end. I honestly loved every moment of the story. Highly recommend if you love dark mafia romance.

Synopsis

A tender slow burn, friends to lovers romance with depth, laughs, and a pinch of spice. Chasing the Goal is a story of showing up, stepping in, and falling hard—when only love plays for keeps.

Mallory Quince has her hands full, balancing a demanding career as the Hellblades’ newest athletic trainer, keeping her messy dating life in check, while avoiding any and all complications. Especially the kind that come with charming hockey players who wear their hearts on their sleeves.

Jaymie Prescott, star winger and secretly sweet nerd, isn’t Mallory’s type. He’s too genuine, too thoughtful, too… distracting. But after a flirty elevator ride, he’s suddenly everywhere—on the training table, in her apartment building, and, unintentionally, in her life in a much bigger way.

When a one-time mistake leads to a life-altering surprise… Jaymie doesn’t run, he shows up and just maybe he’s ready to prove he’s more than just a teammate, he might be exactly the partner Mallory didn’t know she needed.

My Review

I received Chasing The Goal in return for an honest review from the author. 

After an injury Jaymie find himself working with the athletic trainer who just happens to capture his attention. However, Mallory doesn't want to mix business with pleasure so they keep it just friends. When fate takes a hand and sends Jaymie into her life Mallory finally starts to see there is more to the hockey player.

I loved Jaymie he's just a great guy and who doesn't love a hockey player with a heart of gold. I thought Mallory was fantastic she felt so real and if I was in her position I would have done the same thing. You can't help cheering them on as the story progress and I really felt like I could connect with the characters.  I loved the first book with Logan and Ava and was so happy to seem them as side characters in this one.

This is my 2nd book by the author and I'm obsessed. I ended up devouring this one and couldn't put it down till the last page. The author has done a beautiful job creating a captivating story that captures my heart as well as my imagination. I can't wait to read the next installment and see who get's their happy ever next. I've enjoyed this story so much it was a perfect balance of story to romance. I loved every moment of it.
