Review 

I received Inheriting a Rodeo Cowboy in return for an honest review from the author and tour hosted by Kate Rock Book Tours. 


Kristen has returned to Legacy Canyon for her brothers wedding but she's not staying long and plans to return to Chicago as soon as she can. She didn't expect to be swept off her feet by Lucas but her time at home is short lived as she needs to return to her life in Chicago. When she finds herself return home a year later the cowboy is still around and she can't deny her attraction. When fate forces her to give up her life in Chicago it may just be what she needs to start a new life. 


Kristen is such a great character I really felt that I was able to connect with and she's just such a great character. I loved Kristen and Lucas they are adorable and have this sweet undeniable chemistry. Lucas has been in love with Kristen since high school and now he has the chance. It's just sweet and he's exactly what she needs now that she's starting her life over after a messy divorce. Kristen is a vet who finally has the chance to follow her dream


I loved this one so much and devoured it in just a few short hours I couldn't put it down till the last page. This is my first book by the author and i'm obsessed with her writing style.The story is beautifully written with characters to fall in love with and story that kept me hooked till the last page. I'm planing on diving into Wyatt's story next because I did read them out of order. I also have my fingers crossed for Caleb's story next. In the meantime the author has a long backlist and I'm looking forward to reading them all.

Happy Release & Review: Secret Seduction

Title - Secret Seduction 
Author - Nikki Ash 
Series - Book 4 Tempting Love 
Genre -  Dark Mafia Romance 
Format - Physical Copy
From - Author 

Synopsis 

She’s too young. Too reckless. And now she’s my wife.


Vanessa Baker is a temptation with a body made for seduction and secrets swirling in her violet eyes.

There’s no denying that she’s a stunning woman, but she’s a wild card.

Irresistible, unpredictable, and unexpected.

Exactly the kind of trouble I’ve vowed to stay away from.

So, imagine my shock when I wake up in the Bahamas with a ring on my finger and Vanessa in my bed—with no memory of how either got there.

She swears she had no choice. That marrying me was the only way to save herself from a dangerous deal she’d never agreed to.

And now I’m torn between protecting her and resenting her … doing the right thing and wishing I’d never met her.

I don’t trust easily. Not with my heart. Not with my son. And I definitely don’t trust her.

But I bring her home anyway—because her life is at risk. And even though she doesn’t deserve my protection, she has it.

Every day she’s here, charming my son, slipping past my walls, she reminds me of what love is supposed to feel like.

So, what happens when she doesn’t need me anymore … and I still want her anyway?

Review 

I received Secret Seduction in return for an honest review from the author. 


Lorenzo heads off for a wedding and little did he know that he would end up being the one coming home married. He wakes up to find that he got married and that he needs to save Vanessa from her family who's determined to use her for financial gains. Vanessa has goals and dreams to be a fashion designer till she finds out her step father is planning to sell her. So she takes a risk finding help in an unlikely place. Little did she know that she would end up finding more than she bargained for. 


This is Lorenzo's and Vanessa's story and I just loved them. I hate to admit it but they are my favorite couple in the series. Vanessa is just adorable and Lorenzo is swoon-worthy in every way. I ended up devouring this one in just a few hours hooked from the start till the very last page. This book features our prior couples and I loved having a little time with them again. 


I have loved all the books in the series each one is beautifully written with characters to fall in love with an story to steal a little piece of my heart. I'm a huge fan of the authors writing style every book is a perfect balance of romance and just the right balance of spice. This one had me crying happy tears and I'm just so much in love. This whole series has been amazing and I can't get enough of it. Highly recommend if you are a fan of darker romance that will steal your heart.
