Synopsis 

Falling for a man who’s forcing me to marry him makes me sound weak. And in our world, the last thing a woman wants is to feel weak.

Brielle

Kane Morgan was never supposed to be anything more than one reckless night.

Turns out, he’s the enemy, and he knew exactly who I was when he was making me forget my name—while screaming his.

Now, Kane wants more than just revenge on my family. He wants me as his wife.

After a lifetime of heartache, all I want is to marry for love.

But Kane’s ripping that dream away, forcing me into a marriage of revenge.

He’s cold, ruthless, and calculating, and yet he’s everything I can’t seem to resist.

Because when we’re alone, he shows me a different side of him.

I hate that he comforts me when my past creeps into my nightmares. That he believes in my dreams. And most of all, that every stolen moment with him feels like it could put my broken pieces back together.

I shouldn’t be falling for my new husband. He gives me everything I’ve ever wanted … except the one thing I long for—his heart.

My Review

I received Beautiful Betrayal in return for an honest review from the author. 

Brielle was expected to marry one of her fathers business associates son's but that didn't end up happening. Now his other son has come to claim her after one mind blowing night. Kane had planned to destroy Brielle's family but instead decides to go into business with her brothers and take her as his wife. 

I loved Brielle and Kane they have this sizzling chemistry and it's sweet how he takes care of her and worries about her needs. I loved that we got to see characters from the prior book as they are some of my favorite couples. I think all the characters are great I felt like every couple I've falling in love with and been able to connect with. 

While this series is a standalone the prior couples are part of the story and I suggest reading them in order. I ended up devouring this one in just one reading session I was hooked on the story right from the start. I'm a huge fan of the author's storytelling as I fall in love with new characters and every story. I think Brielle and Kane may be my favorite couple so far, because they just stole a little piece of my heart. I've loved all the authors books and she's on my autobuy list. If you are looking for a mafia romance highly recommend.

Synopsis 

For fans of Lights Out and You comes a dark rom-com debut about a woman who confides her fantasies to an AI boyfriend app—unaware she’s really talking to her hot, tattooed coworker who hacked her phone.

When overworked department store manager Izzy Russo downloads an AI boyfriend app to fill the emotional void left by her inattentive real one, she thinks she’s just venting to a harmless chatbot named “Caleb.” In reality, she’s been pouring her deepest, dirtiest fantasies into the ears of Callahan Knight—her store’s brooding new head of security.

Because Cal? He’s been listening. The moment he saw Izzy, he knew she was his. Did he hack her phone? Absolutely. But who could blame him? A woman like Izzy deserves to be cherished by someone who truly knows her worth—and he’ll do anything to be that man.

So when Izzy finally sees her boyfriend for who he really is, and the danger she’s unknowingly been caught up in, Cal is ready to protect her, no matter the cost. Even if it means revealing the truth.

She might not have meant to build the perfect man. But he’s here now. And he’s never letting her go.

My Review

I received Love Me Stalk Me in return for an honest review from Grey's Promotions. 

Izzy's not living her dream life, work is stressful, her boyfriend is awful, and she can't stop thinking about the new guy at work. So at her friends insistence she signs up for an AI chatbot to talk to since she can't talk to her boyfriend. She makes creates an AI guy to chat with just like the new guy at work little did she know she really is talking to her crush at work. 

I love Izzy and Cal they complement each other so well and have this sweet steamy chemistry. I really felt that I was able to connect with both of them. I even loved her bestie Amanda who always was there when she needed her the most. I love how he helped her love herself enough to realize she wasn't happy and to search for it. I also really enjoyed all the text messages between her ant the AI chatbot. 

This is my first book by the author and I'm obsessed I devoured this one in just one reading session. I couldn't put it down as I had to know what was going to happy. I love that it's a darker stalking story that kept me giggle so it was light too. The author has done a beautiful job of creating a story that has just the right amount of spice. This story has it all it's a sweet romance, that's got spice, action and just enough laughs till the very end. Highly recommend if you enjoy a light stalker romance.

Synopsis 

A Good Morning America Book Club Pick * A Good Housekeeping Book Club Pick * An ELLE Best Mystery/Thriller of 2025 * A BookRiot Best Mystery/Thriller of 2025

“It starts out feeling pretty light and fun, but I promise you, you have no idea where this story is going.” - Taylor Jenkins Reid, recommended for her Must-Read Book of 2025 in TIME Magazine

An insanely competitive housing market. A desperate buyer on the edge. In Marisa Kashino’s darkly humorous debut novel, Best Offer Wins, the white picket fence becomes the ultimate symbol of success—and obsession. How far would you go for the house of your dreams?

Eighteen months and 11 lost bidding wars into house-hunting in the overheated Washington, DC suburbs, 37-year-old publicist Margo Miyake gets a tip about the perfect house, in the perfect neighborhood, slated to come up for sale in one month. Desperate to escape the cramped apartment she shares with her husband Ian — and in turn, get their marriage, plan to have a baby, and whole life back on track — Margo becomes obsessed with buying the house before it’s publicly listed and the masses descend (with unbeatable, all-cash offers in hand).

A little stalking? Harmless. A bit of trespassing? Necessary. As Margo infiltrates the homeowners’ lives, her tactics grow increasingly unhinged—but just when she thinks she’s won them over, she hits a snag in her plan. Undeterred, Margo will prove again and again that there’s no boundary she won’t cross to seize the dream life she’s been chasing. The most unsettling part? You’ll root for her, even as you gasp in disbelief.

Dark, biting, and laugh-out-loud funny, Best Offer Wins is a propulsive debut and a razor-sharp exploration of class, ambition, and the modern housing crisis.

My Review

I received Best Offer Wins in return for an honest review from the Publisher. 

Margo and her husband Ian have been hunting for the perfect house but the housing market is out of control. So they quickly find they lose out on every house. When an inside tip points her at a house which is perfect she is willing to do anything to get this house. Will they get their dream house of will it be yanked out of there hands like all the others. 

I love Margo she's a great character and I admit as unhinged as she becomes I feel like it's totally justified and I totally don't blame her she did what she has to do. I hope that one day when the time comes I don't turn into a Margo when it comes to buying a house. 

I devoured this one in just one afternoon and loved every moment of it. Best Offer Wins is loaded with adventure some laughs and just enough twists to keep you guessing till the very end. This is my first book by the author but I'm obsessed with her storytelling. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next. This is one of my favorite books of 2025 it's a fun thriller and perfect for fans of thriller who aren't looking for anything to heavy.

Synopsis

The time for our final fight is upon us...but how does one prepare to go against Heaven itself?

My father tried to kill me.

Yet in the same moment the blade met my throat, the rot beneath Alfemir’s carefully constructed front was laid bare for all to see.

With Alfemir liberated, the upper triads’ silent, watchful gaze now lingers over every spark of hope we’ve dared to ignite. It’s only a matter of time until history repeats itself—they will come to snuff out our rebellion.

Still, the stars hang heavier with each passing night as we race to uncover the rune that might keep me alive upon their descent. But if we make one mistake in crafting it, they’ll destroy me and the world alongside it.

Despite the steady strength, soft touches, and love from the five souls I’ve claimed as mine, the weight of all we’re up against is becoming too much to bear. Somehow the more I love, and feel their love in return, the heavier my place in the prophecy becomes.

It said I would be the world’s hope, or its demise, and that only I could decide.

Well, I have: I’ll burn the heavens themselves before I let them take away our home and those I love.

My Review

I received Wings of Hope in return for an honest review. 

This is the third and final installment in the Fallen Destiny trilogy. Kieran and her men knew it was only a matter of time because you can't avoid fate forever. I just love Kieran so much she's such a sweetheart and how she is with her men just makes me happy. Some of the sharing comments made me laugh like a sign up.

I didn't realize when I accepted this arc it was the third and final book in the trilogy so I needed to read the prior. I can't believe I hadn't started this series sooner because it's fantastic. I devoured all three books in less than 24 hours and loved every moment of each book and my only complaint is it's over. I'm not ready for it to end but wow what an ending!!! 

The authors did a beautiful job of creating a captivating story that grabbed my attention from the start and kept me till the very last page. This series is steamy but it's a perfect balance of spice to story I had just the right amount of each. Highly recommend if you enjoy a action packed romance with five swoon worthy men and one FMC who you'll just love. This one is going to live rent free in my head for a while and Kieran has a place in my heart. I will be binging this series again as it's one of my new favorites.

Synopsis

Harmony Grace was the youngest omega to ever be offered a place on the F1 circuit, but she gave it up for a career on the big screen.

And now she's back - taking a crash course with her family's racing team as they progress through the season championship, all for a role in her next big movie, an F1 blockbuster.

But there's two problems. Not only is the racer training her her former mentor, he's also her ex, her scent match, and her brother's best friend. On top of that, she just has to go and scent match with his team mate, as well as the pit stop boss.

Being chased by paparazzi and nagged by her brother is one thing, but what about three alphas who are determined to make her their omega?

She has to win a charity race at the end of the F1 season against the best drivers in the world, but with only a month to train as they travel around the world, and running into her alphas at every corner, will Harmony come out on top in the end?

Maddock, the grumpy champion that could never let her go.

Jaxx, the cowboy racer who wants nothing more than his omega to succeed.

And Everest, the silent giant who loves cars more than anything, until he meets her.

Crash Course Omega is a sweet high heat low angst FMMM romance with no third act break up, featuring three male alphas and one confident female omega all racing towards love.

My Review

I received Crash Course Omega in return for an honest review from the author. 

Harmony is returning back to the life she left behind to be an actress. It's been years since she's seen her ex and he's the one who's helping her get back into the groove of F1 racing. Add in she just ran into her scent match things are definitely heating up. Will Harmony and her scent matches make it work? 

I love Harmony and her men they are all unique and complement each other in the best of ways. I think Everest may be my favorite but that's because he's sweet and so innocent compared to playboy Jaxx and broody Maddox. I really liked Jaxx the way he understood and helped bring them together. They all have this sweet chemistry that just works and it's just the right balance of spice in the story. 

This is my first book by the author and I'm hooked. This is a why choose omega story but the pack isn't brought together till Harmony scent matches with them all. Which I thought was unique and refreshing since most packs exist when the story starts. This is my first book by the author and I enjoyed it, I ended up reading it in just one day because I had to know how it would end. The author has done a beautiful job creating a captivating story that I loved every moment of.

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.

Code blue in the ER. That's how I end up in his hospital. In my brother's best friend's care.

Dr. Blake Morrison starred in every fantasy I’ve had since sixteen. Now he’s the only one who believes something’s truly wrong with me—the only one who can save me.

But with each passing day, each failed diagnosis, I see him changing. The brilliant, controlled doctor is becoming something else. Something darker. More possessive.

"These symptoms aren't random," he growls. “I think someone's hurting you deliberately. And when I find them..." His fingers clench. "They'll learn exactly how much damage a doctor can do."

His touch sets my heart monitor racing, and what's growing between us is more dangerous than any symptom. More forbidden than any diagnosis.

But as my mysterious illness worsens, will the man who’s saved countless lives lose the only one he can’t live without?

My Review

I received Crash in return for an honest review from author. 

When Tessa ends up in the ER it draws the attention of her brothers best friend and brings him back into her life. Determined to figure out at all costs why she's sick. Blake has knows that he can't have any relationship with Tessa but sometimes it's hard to fight the chemistry that's had years to grow. 

I just love Blake so much he's a little broken but all the best love interests are and Tessa is perfect for him. I love our girl Tessa she's such a sweetheart just trying to live the hand she's dealt. We are given a little insight into the rest of the rest of the Sinners and Saints crew which happen to include Tessa's brother. I loved all of our characters in the story but Blake hands down was my favorite. 

I devoured Crash in just one afternoon it was beautifully written and I was hooked by the end of the first chapter. I was captivated right from the start and loved it all every page till the very last. The characters are easy to connect with you can't help cheering them on through the story. I absolutely loved every moment and can't wait for the next one in the series. This may be my favorite book of the authors but they are all fantastic.
