The Betrayal: Mafia Vows Four S.R. Jones

A Bookworm Review by Ana

The Betrayal

Mafia Dark Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

What might be normal to you, might be wrong for others.

Have a look at the blurb:

If you find out your whole existence, everything you ever knew is a lie, where does that leave you?

I am Star and I’m a sacrificial offering for my people.
A thing to be sold to the highest bidder.
Then I’m bought and nothing is as it seems.
Up is down, and good is bad.

My new master is a hardened mafia soldier named Markos.
He wants to save me.
I don’t want to be saved.
The only way out of this for me is betrayal of the highest order.

#MyReview:

Everyone knows that I’m a huge Mafia fan. I’ve read a few and I can say that I loved every single one and the ones that were written by this author were my undoing.
SR Jones knows how to write a good boom. She knows how to make you shake with fear or sweat with desire… You’ll see…
The Betrayal is her latest release and explores the lives of Star and Markos.
This book can be read as a standalone but I advise you to read The Mafia Vows series first, The Debt, The  Contract, The Promise and The Pledge. By doing so you’ll be able to understand this book better.
Star was picked as an Offering to be auctioned. For her community, that’s an honor but for her, it’s only a way to help her little brother. For her it’s an honor but…
Markos is a very reserved guy. He’s enigmatic, a mystery actually. He’s hiding so much… When he volunteers to help his friends…
OMG… Sweet Jesus… What… Why… How…
This book… Oh lord, this book…
It was perfect. It was peculiar. It was intense…
Stellar plot very well written, super dark, intense and dangerous.
These two are imperfectly perfect for each other.
It’s like two different sides of the same coin.
You see, each coin has two sides, and each side is different although you know that it’s the same coin.
That’s what happens with these two. They came from two different worlds, two very different mentalities and beliefs but at the de time they want you the same.
There were parts of the book that I wanted to slap someone but there were others that I saw myself crying and wanting to hold them.
In life, nothing is perfect so you must live one day at a time.
Drama madness betrayal, crime, punishment, and abuse are very present but we will find love loyalty, desire.
Overall it’s the perfect boom for guess two lost souls.
Thank you, Skye, for another masterpiece.
This book stole my heart a shattered it at the same time. It was perfect to read and I want more…and…
Well played with Stamatis…

About the Author:

Hi Guys. I’m a UK based author who loves to read and write all things romance.

As Skye Jones I write steamy paranormal romance.

As S.R. Jones I write darker, contemporary romance and romantic suspense.

One thing my books have in common are tortured alpha heroes that are oh-so-redeemable!

I live in Yorkshire, and get lots of inspiration from the windswept moors, the old stone buildings and the Celtic myths of this fair isle.

My dogs are my favorite people, although I tell my husband I’m quite fond of him too 😉

I love chocolate and Starbuck’s Mochas and keep meaning to give them up for a life of yoga and fresh juices, but it never happens!

Samson: Cerberus MC Book 9 by Marie James

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Samson

MC Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

Age is just a number because when you know…you know.

Have a look at the blurb:

Who says you can’t fall in love at seven years old?

I know I did.

The love I felt for my babysitter, Camryn Davison at such a young age transformed over time.

By the time I was a teen that love turned into fantasies I knew would never come true.

By the time I saw her again at twenty-one I was determined to make those fantasies a reality.

If only she’d see me as the man I am now and not the little boy she used to soothe when I had nightmares as a child.

She’s the only one that has an issue with our seven-year age difference, but I’m determined to prove to her that a younger man is exactly what she needs.

#MyReview:

This has been one of my favorite MC series of all times and I’m always delighted when I have another book to read.
I fell in love with this series since book one and I always want to read more.
Marie James knows what she’s doing. Each book is special at its own pace and will make you fall in love in a sec… Trust me.
Samson is her latest release and it’s the ninth from the Cerberus MC series.
This new book explores the lives of Samson and Camryn.
Samson was raised in an amazing MC family. They protect each other and are one big happy family. When he was 7 years old, he fell in love with his babysitter but at that age, it was just a silly thing… Or not. Now years had passed and he’s still in love with her…
Camryn always wanted to become a surgeon. Being raised by a doctor and a nurse, you can say that medicine is in her blood. She set up a plan to become one of the best and she will be.
Beautiful and perfect. This book was just that.
It was the perfect story to brighten my week.
Perfect plot, very well written, super engaging and intense. It was beautiful to what their stories growing up.
It was perfect to see the way the statutes and then the way it ended.
There were parts of the book that I really wanted to slap someone… Jeez… Let’s talk about stubbornness.
But then there were others that I wanted to hold them and promise better days.
Once I started to read this book I simply couldn’t put it down. No matter what I had to do, I simply couldn’t. It was that addictive.
It was marvelous to have news from the other characters of this series and it made me want to start this series all over again. Perfect in every way.
Now I need to read the next book… So many questions…
Superb Marie James. Another breathtaking story.

Bad Omen: (Wicked Academy Book 2) by L.A. Hart

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Bad Omen

Paranormal Reverse Harem

I give this book 4 stars!

Power for the female…

Have a look at the blurb:

Newly turned, brooding vampire Cash doesn’t have anything in common with Zaine, his young warlock roommate at Wicked Academy. At least he didn’t until they both find themselves trying to win over the same mesmerizing woman.

Men have always been drawn to Nadia, the odd girl with crimson hair and lavender-colored eyes. And finally, after thirty years, she’s about to find out why.

The unrelenting magnetic pull Cash and Zaine both feel toward Nadia isn’t just a coincidence. She seems to have the same effect on every guy she ever touches. The problem is that just one night in bed with her could cost a human or warlock male their life unless she figures out how to stop draining the life force out of them.

When someone comes after Nadia, it’ll take all of her lovers to keep her safe. But the people who want her are desperate for her unparalleled powers. They won’t stop until she’s fighting for them.

This is book two in the Wicked Academy series and is intended for mature readers.

 

#MyReview:

There are genres that I adore but there are others that I don’t. And I’m not a big fan of paranormal.
I don’t find it appealing but when that book is written by one author that I freaking love, I need to give it a try. L.A. Hart aka Lane Hart had this new series and I wanted to read it.
And if you’re a fan just go for it.
Bad Omen is her latest release and tells the stories of Cash, Nadia, and Zaine.
Cash is a new vampire and has his blood boiling. He can’t get Nadia out if his MI don’t…
Nadia has a unique quality. She has the power to turn every person into nothing only with her touch…
Zaine is a warlock that lives in the academy as well. To others, he’s an EMT but he hides so much. He shares a room with Cash…
Jesus… This book was different but super hot like others from this author.
Great plot, different, engaging and may I say magical…
It was interesting to read and trying get to find out where all the puzzle pieces would connect.
It was great chemistry these 3 shared and it was funny at some point.
How can you desire someone so much to the point of almost losing your mind?
Each chapter was even more indulging and I saw myself wanting to keep reading good non-stop.
Although this was not my favorite genre, I’m super happy for giving it a chance.
I really liked this book and you will like it too.

One Blissful Night (A West Sisters book 3)

A Bookworm Review by Ana

One Blisseful Night

Contemporary Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

True love can’t be forgotten…

Have a look at the blurb:

“This author knows her way around unique prose and enchanting writing style. I can’t say it enough—this book will hook you! One Blissful Night is simply stunning from start to finish.” Harloe Rae, USA Today Bestselling Author

How much are you willing to trust a liar?

“Promise you won’t break my heart, Brax.”

He promised. I believed.
Brax Kent was a liar.
He shattered every possible piece of me.
Several years passed before I got through an entire day without shedding a tear.
My existence was hollow, empty, bleak.
Hate was the only thing that pushed me through the day.
Seven years later, who turns up to be my next door neighbor?
The man I despise with every ounce of my being.
And now he wants me back.
With flowery words and sworn oaths full of apologies, he begs.
Can this man who ruined me be trusted?
Only his obstinance, persistence, and beautiful face weaken my resolve.
And I stupidly expose my heart as he wedges himself inside, bit by bit.
Surrendering completely may mean absolute love, or absolute destruction.
The choice is mine.
Cross the line in the sand, or stay in my safe zone.

From USA Today bestselling author, A.M. Hargrove, comes One Blissful Night (A West Sisters Novel) a new stand alone, laugh out loud, enemies to lovers, contemporary romance. This is the final book in the spin-off series from The West Brothers Novels. You do not have to read any of the other novels in either series to enjoy this book. If you love enemies to lovers, second chance new adult romances, with raw emotion, laugh out loud humor, and a hero that will steal your heart, then download One Blissful Night today.

#MyReview:

It’s always amazing to have the chance to meet new authors. And it’s even better to read one book from one author that you had the pleasure of meeting in person.
It can be scary at the same time because you’re assaulted with several questions at the same time.
Will I like her writing? Will the plot be amazing? Will the characters talk to me?
Well, let me just say that all the questions were answered just by reading the blurb.
A. M. Hargrove is the author that I’m talking about, not only she’s a sweetheart but also an even more amazing writer. Just saying.
One Blissful Night is her latest release and it’s the third book from the West Sisters series.
This new book explores the lives of Reynolds and Brax.
Reynolds saw her heart being crushed like it was nothing. She and Brax were in love, had made plans and promises of being together forever until one night Brax ended it.
Years had passed without them seeing each other until one day…
Being a famous quarterback was all that Braxton could think about and he was able to achieve it, but at what cost?
Now he was forced to take a break due to a serious injury and he wasn’t expecting to see someone from his past…
I’m stunned right now. Dayum… This book was that good.
Superb plot, very well written, super engaging game and intense sense.
It was one good chapter after a perfect one. It was so good.
Once I started to read it I simply couldn’t put it down. It was so hard because when one chapter ended it ended with a few questions that I needed answers. And what a better way to obtain them than reading??
This book gave us love, loyalty, family bonds, happiness as well as some sadness betrayal and a bit of drama.
There were parts of the book that I laughed so hard that I almost wet my panties lol. But then there were others that I wanted to slap someone… Jeez. Let’s talk about some stubborn people…
The pranks the did to each other were hilarious… And guys… We have some hot stuff in there too. Oh boy…
Let’s just say that this book was the best way to know this author. She’s brilliant.
A. M. Hargrove… Woman you rock. This book was it for me and I can’t wait to read the first two books from this series.

A Few Teasers:

Excerpt:

Hours passed and she finally stood. I did too and said, “Reynolds, I—”

Her hand flew out. “You don’t have the right to speak to me. You lost that right several hours ago. You don’t have the right to follow me, touch me, or call me. We are over.”

“I need to explain.”

“You must have a hearing problem. Your needs mean nothing to me.”

She walked away. I followed only because she was not getting away that easy. I would not give up on us. Never again.

I was on her tail and as she went to get into her car, she said, “I told you to leave me alone.”

“I know. I heard. But I refuse to do that. Not until you hear me out. I deserve that much from you.”

“You deserve nothing. You promised—”

Mr. Spice Cake (Man Card Book 16) by Terra Kelly

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Mr Spice Cake

Contemporary Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

When the right person enters your life…

Have a look at the blurb:

My name is Noel Winters.

I was born on Christmas Day.

AND I just met a stunning woman named Holly Frost.

Is this for real?

There’s only one minor problem…

…she’s not a fan of the holiday season, hates decorations, and avoids listening to Christmas music.

Maybe a baking competition, one homemade yule log cake, and an extra dash of spice will change her mind.

The man card series is a collection of short stories that are full of steamy romance. You’re guaranteed that perfect happy ending and a cupboard full of sweets from all the cravings.

#MyReview:

Guess what I’m about to start??
Guess?
Have you guessed?
No? Lol
It’s another book from the amazing Terra Kelly…
Yep, that’s true. She has a new release and oh boy…
This sweet lady ( sweet but kinky), has this amazing series, The Man Card series, that you can’t miss.
Each and every book is beautiful and you need to read them all.
Mr. Spice Cake is her latest release and it’s the 16th boom from this series and tells the stories of Noel and Holly. Cute names right?
Noel loves Christmas… Who would have thought with a name like that…
He not only loves it but also adores everything related to Christmas.
Holly is an anti-Christmas. She hates the holiday and everything and then Noel enters her life…
Beautiful. Perfect. Brilliant and so sweet.
This book nailed it once again and it was amazing to have news from the Winters family.
Great plot, with some sweet stuff and also lots of hot stuff… Oh my lord…
Terra, you are getting better by the minute. Lol
Each scene, each chapter just reinforced my life for your writing.
Once I started to read it I found out it was hard to stop. But I’m mad…
Wanna know why?
Because I want more…
And now I have an important question…
What’s next? I can’t wait too long…

Excerpt:

“Noel, it’s so good to see you.” Noah Peterson, chef and restaurant owner said and slapped his hand against my shoulder. “Are you dining alone tonight?”

“No, my sister set me up on blind date and refused to tell me the woman’s name.” I knew it was rude rolling my eyes at the thought but I couldn’t help it.

“Funny, my friend set me up on a blind date, too, and refused to say your name,” a woman said from behind me. I spun around to come face to face with a gorgeous woman. She had shoulder length hair, the cutest dimples, and the most stunning emerald eyes. “Now I know why.” She rolled her eyes and grabbed her keys out of her purse. “I need to cancel.”

“Wait,” I stepped closer and placed my hand on her shoulder. “I’m missing something here. Can you fill me in?”

She sighed and turned to face me. “Your name is Noel, right?”

“Um, yeah.”

“What is your last name?”

“Winters.”

She burst out laughing and walked over to the bench to sit down. “This can’t be happening.”

I sat down beside her. “What’s happening?”

She held out her hand. “Hi, I’m Holly Frost.”

My Sugar Cookie (Man Card Book 15) by Terra Kelly

A Bookworm Review by Ana

My Sugar Cookie

Contemporary Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

Sometimes when you least expect it…

Have a look at the blurb:

Thanks to my sister, I was now a contestant on a special Holiday Baking Competition.

 Oh, and it was definitely going to be special…

 The first day on the set and everything that could go wrong, went wrong.

 Thankfully, Millie one of the other contestants on the show was not only a baker…she’s also a hot firefighter…

The man card series is a collection of short stories that are full of steamy romance. You’re guaranteed that perfect happy ending and a cupboard full of sweets from all the cravings.

#MyReview:

Yep… Book fifteen is her and I can’t get enough of this series.
Terra Kelly nailed it what she started to write it and after fifteen books that magic is still there.
It’s intense and hot, wonderful and breathtaking.
Just see for yourself and witness our favorite author get kinky… Just saying.
My Sugar Cookie is her latest release and like I said it book fifteen from the Man Card series.
This series will grab your heart… You’ll see.
This new book explores the lives of Kris and Millie.
Kris entered the baking competition because of his sister. He knows his way around a kitchen but this was not what he was expecting…
Millie is a firefighter… A badass firefighter that loved to bake. Thanks to her sister, she signs up for a baking competition…
So beautifully written. Perfect and sweet.
This book is amazing and so perfect.
Everything worked perfectly, from the plot to the hot stuff all worked together.
Great chemistry between the main characters and I didn’t want it to end.
I wanted to keep reading. I wanted more about the other characters. I simply wanted more.
We have some hot stuff as well and you’ll love it.
Let me just say that I read this in record time.
Now… Now u have to wait for the next one…

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

A Few Teasers:

Excerpt:

“Good job,” a man said from behind me. His voice was all too familiar. “You better be careful,” he whispered beside my ear. “I think she is silently putting a hex on you.”

I turned my head to see if it was really him. Oh sweet baby Jesus, it was. Today was my lucky day. “Shit,” I laughed and stepped forward to grab a container for my personal items. “Do you think that’s possible?”

He went silent as he handed his I.D. and ticket to the same woman. She marked on his ticket and he quickly stepped up beside me. “Hell yeah.” He threw his phone and bag into a bin. “She has that look. I definitely wouldn’t put it past her.”

When I left for the airport this morning, Andy and Sarah were texting me and then my ex-boyfriend sent me a random message. The message from my ex threw my whole morning off. I was feeling edgy and tired when I hopped out of the car. Then I ran into Mr. Sexy Pants. The name felt appropriate and oddly enough, he was wearing the perfect pair of jeans.

“Are you sure you’re not following me?” I gathered up my stuff and walked over to a bench to put my shoes and belt back on.

“Still pleading the fifth on that question,” he winked and threw his phone into his bag.

“Don’t tell me, you’re heading to terminal C, too?”

He threw his bag over his shoulder. “Um…”

“Shut up, are you?” I started to head toward the terminal. He continued to follow beside me. “Okay, fine.” I stopped in the middle of the space and turned to face the mystery guy. “Where are you heading?”

He burst out laughing. “Am I creeping you out?”

“Maybe.” I shook my head. “No.” I felt confused. The man’s eyes were distracting me and his hand holding the strap of his bag had me curious. They looked like strong hands that could do amazing things. “Just tell me where you’re going?”

“Atlanta.” He finally said and started walking again.

“Seriously?” I increased my pace to catch up with him. “I am, too.”

He stopped and turned to face me. “Really?”

I turned my head to the side. “Wait, should we discuss what we’re doing in Atlanta?” A part of me wanted to know his plans. If we were heading to the same place that would be a crazy coincidence. “Nope, sorry. Not my business.” I increased my pace and stepped onto the escalator.

“It’s more fun keeping it like this.” He was laughing from behind me.

His voice was waking up my girl parts.

Keeping Denver by Crystal Daniels & Sandy Alvarez

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Demetri

Mafia Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

It might look like you don’t have a break, but look further…

Have a look at the blurb:

Life has never been easy for Denver Hollis. But at twenty-three years old, she didn’t foresee losing everything, becoming homeless, sleeping in shelters, and sometimes on the cold city streets of New York.
One day, her luck turns. With help from an unlikely friend, Denver lands a promising job as an assistant for Callan Hawk Attorney at Law.
Callan Hawk is an attractive man. He exudes power and sex appeal. He’s also arrogant and, at times, insufferable to work with.
Ignoring the way Callan’s presence and heated stares make her feel, Denver is determined to stay focused and get her life back on the right track.
Little does Denver know, Callan has his sights set on her. After discovering Denver’s secret, he becomes more determined to protect her—make her his. Callan vows to take care of her and give her everything she never had.
Promises are made to be broken. Right?
Now Denver has to choose to walk away from the man she has fallen in love with or trust him with her heart again.

#MyReview:

Extra, extra… The fantastic duo have a new release…
Yep, I sound a bit crazy but who cares… No me, that’s for sure.
This amazing duo is responsible for giving me some of the best books ever and I was super excited to start a new book.
It was not my first read of 2020 because I was reading another book at the moment, but when I got the time it was insane…
Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez are the bombs. These two sisters are freaking good genius behind the best books ever.
Their writing is hard and intense, sweet and spicy, unforgettable and raw. Just grab their books and see for yourself.
Keeping Denver is their latest release and explores the lives of Denver and Callan.
Denver had lost everything. She was homeless, jobless and without money. She was forced to seek refuge in shelters to not spend the night outside. She had applied to so many jobs that she lost count and was turned down from everyone.
When she applied to a personal assistant spot…
So freaking beautiful… This book…
It took my heart out, crushed, then glued it back together. It was insane.
Superb plot, very well written, super engaging and intense.
It was one perfect chapter after the other.
There are things that I never learn… Why the hell did I start this book at 11 pm??
Wanna know what happened?? I stayed up all night because once I started to read it I simply couldn’t put it down. I couldn’t nor did I tried. To be honest.
There were parts of the book that I wanted to hold them and promise better days but then there were others that I just wanted to slap someone so freaking much…
We are presented with some hot stuff around the corner… Jeez…
Let me just say that once I realized that the book had ended I was so mad… Mad because I wanted to keep reading… Why?? Why??
This book explores one subject that everyone tries to not see. Homeless. Everyone can see them on the streets but not many have the heart to help.
You see, there are other ways to help them without money being the key. Sometimes a warm close, a meal or even an opportunity can make the difference.
But life is just like this.
Fantastic book Crystal and Sandy. You girls know how to touch our hearts and our souls.
Another breathtaking book and I can’t wait for more.

Holiday Hideaway by Stephie Walls

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Holiday Hideaway

Contemporary Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

Sometimes you can find what you didn’t knew you were looking for in a hideaway…

Have a look at the blurb:

When Emma Grant caught her boyfriend cheating just days before Christmas, she hatched a plan with her best friend to escape for the holidays.

But her getaway wasn’t quite what she’d thought it would be as a record-breaking blizzard chased her up into the mountains of Tennessee where she found herself stranded in a one-bedroom cabin with a man she’d never met.

That gorgeous guy just might bring her a magical Christmas—and a happily ever after—beyond her wildest dreams.

Excerpt:

The sun had gone down, and the huge snowflakes I’d seen in the parking lot were nothing compared to what appeared to be a whiteout. It wasn’t quite that bad—I could still see thirty or forty feet in front of my SUV but not well. A four-hour drive had turned into six, and I had no idea when I’d reach the town limits.
My cell phone had chirped more times than I could count, but I was too afraid to take my eyes off the road or my hands off the wheel to see who it was. I could only imagine it was Cole, or worse, his cousin. It was late, and the guy didn’t even know me.
I hoped to God he was a night owl; otherwise, he was likely pretty angry.
When I thought I’d just pull over and take my chances on the side of the road until the sun came up, I came around a curve and the lights of civilization burned through the white blanket in the sky, a haze making them almost ethereal. I’d never been so excited to see a Chevron and McDonald’s in my life. I made my way to the golden arches and pulled into a space right outside their door to call JD.
I’d missed forty-seven text messages from Cole and had six voicemails. There were two calls from a number I didn’t recognize until I looked at the text Cole had sent me with his cousin’s contact information. It took longer than I hoped to read through all of the messages my best friend had sent, starting from silly to angry and then downright paranoid—all with weather warnings that would have been helpful an hour earlier than they’d come.
I decided to deal with Cole after I returned his cousin’s calls since JD was the one waiting for me. But his number went straight to voicemail. If I’d just listened to the messages he’d left, I wouldn’t still be sitting here. I would have realized that he was at the cabin, waiting for my arrival to let me in and give me the keys. I wouldn’t say that he sounded angry, but I doubted I was one of his favorite people right about now; however, that could just be my being overly optimistic.
Before I got back on the road, I sent Cole a message, telling him I had another five miles to go, and then I tossed my cell phone back into the seat. If I thought the trek I’d just made was bad, it was nothing compared to the last few miles of my journey. The road hung off the side of a mountain, and it was paved in ice. For a girl who’d never driven in snow, this was the worst adventure of my life. All I wanted to do was get inside where it was warm and down a bottle of wine to calm my frazzled nerves.
But when GPS indicated I’d arrived at my destination, there was no destination to be found—just a winter wonderland that stretched on as far as the eye could see, which admittedly wasn’t all that far at the moment. I assumed the driveway was on one side of
the mailbox, I just wasn’t sure which side. As I sat there, pressing the brakes, I started to slide and realized the time for debating had come to an abrupt halt. I turned the wheel to the right and prayed I’d taken the driveway toward—something.
Indeed, I had. Just as the SUV went perpendicular to the main road, the driveway dipped into a steep incline that ended at a quaint little chalet. Smoke came from the chimney, and one or two of the lights glowed from the front windows. And as lovely as that scene was, it was trumped by the fact that my car was sliding straight down the hill and into what looked like a very expensive GMC truck. There was nowhere to go. The house barely clung to the side of a mountain, and on the other side was nothing but a cliff leading to a valley. In a split second, I had to decide—the truck’s death or my own.
I prayed the owner of that black machine would forgive me as I slammed into the tailgate. The seatbelt pulled tight against my chest as my body lurched forward in opposition. That muted sound of metal crunching metal pierced the night air, and by the time I’d finally stopped moving, I had an audience of one, and “Jingle Bells” played on my car horn that my arm rested against. I’d bet money the giant looming off to my right with his hands planted firmly on his hips was none other than JD.
And it was just my luck, JD was nothing like Cole and every bit a man who’d tease my dreams. Dark hair, broad shoulders, and a tic in his strong jaw that I could see from here. For the second time in less than eight hours, I tried to hold on to my wounded pride and lifted my arm from the horn so the music wouldn’t keep ringing into the night.

Gabe and Ian (Savage Kings MC Book 11) by Lane Hart and D.B. West

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Cooper

MC Romance

I give this book 5 stars!

What’s is normal to you might not be normal to others…

Have a look at the blurb:

Gabriel Cross has spent his entire life keeping a secret from his older brother. The tattoo artist all but inked the two words on his flesh, and yet Abe still hasn’t figured it out. Terrified of losing the only family he has left, Gabriel keeps his mouth shut, even though he hates himself for being a coward.

Ian Long loves women. After being locked up for five miserable years, he can’t wait to make up for lost time, all while trying to forget about a certain someone who took care of his needs during weekly visitations. He’s convinced himself that being with Gabriel was a matter of convenience and nothing more.

Gabriel foolishly assumed that his secret affair with Ian would continue once he became a free man. However, Ian doesn’t waste any time hooking up with the first woman he sees at his homecoming party, even doing so right in front of Gabe’s face to prove just how little he meant to him.

Jealous and hurt, Gabe knows it’s time for him to move on. He has to quit waiting for the impossible to happen with Ian and find someone who will give him the unconditional love he craves without having to hide who he is anymore.

But what neither Gabe nor Ian realize is that the woman who comes between them may turn out to be the one who finally brings them together.

This story is for mature readers only and it contains MFM and MM scenes.

 

#MyReview:

Dayum… This series is getting better by the book.
Just look at this cover… Hot right?
Lane Hart and DB West have this freaking amazing MC series that you all should read.
In my case, I devoured each book in no time.
You need to read to see how these two can complete each other. Their writing is super appealing. Trust me…
Gabe and Ian is their latest release and it’s the eleventh book from the Savage Kings MC series.
But I need to tell you something. Despite the fact that these books are standalone, I totally advise you to read all the books in order. Doing so, you’ll be able to know a bit more…
This book explores the lives of Ian, Gabe, and Quincey.
Gabe is dealing with guilt because of the arrest of one of his brothers. The need to be there for him is getting stronger but…
Ian is serving a 5-year sentence for a so-called crime. Everything he did and will keep doing is to save and protect his club, his family. But he has a secret…
Quincey needed a fresh start. She breaks up with her boyfriend because let’s face it, he wasn’t her type. She wanted hot and wild s…
Jesus… I’m speechless… Dayum… What a book.
Sublime plot, very well written, super engaging and intense.
It was hard to witness some of their struggles. Some of the conflicts inside their heads and hearts.
There were parts of the book that o wanted to slap someone… Jeez, let’s talk about some stubborn people… But there were others that I wanted to hold them. So great.
The hot stuff is wild and will make you blush…
The chemistry they share is beautiful and intense. I loved it so freaking much.
Now I’m sad because it’s over but I know these two have another book coming.
Will it take long Lane and D.B. please say no.

A Few Teasers:

Excerpt:

I’m on my way back from the bar with our pizza delivery when Gabe comes out of the apartment next to mine wearing a slim-fitting navy-blue suit that hugs his body like it was made for him.
“So this is your room, huh? What are you all dressed up for? Where’s your cut?” I ask in a rush.
“I have a date.”
“A date?” I repeat in surprise.
“Yep.”
“Who’s the lucky lady?”
“I didn’t say it was a woman.”
“So you’re going out with a man?” I whisper.
“Why the fuck do you care? Shouldn’t you be screwing Quincey?” he snaps at me, deflecting the question.
“Are you going out with a man or a woman?” I demand again.
“Fine! Yes, it’s a date with a man. My first, actually.” He sounds excited and nervous, and I want to choke this unknown man who is going to be his first date.
“Where did you meet him?” I ask around the knot in my throat.
“What does it matter?” Gabe huffs.
“Just answer the damn question!”
“Fine. We met on that app, Grindr. Happy now?”
“Is that one of those booty call apps? Are you gonna f*** him?” I ask.
“Guess it depends on how our date goes,” he answers with a smirk.
Why do I hate the idea of him with another guy so much? Would I feel this same annoyance and rage if he was going on a date with a woman? No, I don’t think so. I just prefer to be the only man he fools around with, which is stupid since I told him we’re done now that I’m no longer locked up and lonely.
For some idiotic reason, though, I find myself blurting out, “If you ditch your date and stay here, you could join me and Quincey.”

“W-what?” he asks, dark eyes widening, mouth gaping.
“The girl wants a threesome, and I aim to please.”

Tempted to Kiss (Hard to Love Book 3) by Willow Winters

A Bookworm Review by Ana

Desperate to Touch

Romantic Suspense

I give this book 5 stars!

When you think that things will get better…think again.

Have a look at the blurb:

From USA Today bestselling author W Winters comes an emotionally-gripping, romantic suspense.

I fell for someone I shouldn’t have.
I’m not the only person to ever do such a thing. I know that. And I’m not an awful person for desiring his touch, his kiss, his everything… but I knew I shouldn’t have indulged.
There’s something about knowing it’s wrong that tempts me that much more. The seduction became a game with higher stakes than any before him. In fact, it was only ever him.
The thing is, I knew I shouldn’t. Now that the game is over and the pieces have fallen… I know I should have just walked away.
There’s no way out of the wreckage.
That doesn’t change the fact, that I wanted him more than anything. I still want him more than anything.

Tempted to Kiss is book 3 in a series. Hard to Love (book 1) and Desperate to Touch (book 2) must be read first.

#MyReview:

And the day has come… The day that I had this book to read. It’s been a long wait.
If you know this author, you know that she has some of the best books ever and that her stories are super captivating and addictive.
Each book, each chapter just made me want to keep reading good non-stop.
Tempted to Kiss is her latest release, it’s another book from the Hard to Love series, that belongs to Merciless world and it’s the third book featuring Seth and Laura.
But I need to give you a heads up. You must read Hard to love, then Desperate to Touch and only the Tempted to Kiss.
Have you already know, Seth and Laura had a long journey ahead of them but their past is what keeps haunting them.
Seriously?? I have no words right now… What? Why? Why?
Willow you… Let’s just say that you’re lucky that I love you… Just saying.
Similar to the other two books, this one nailed it.
It was perfect in a twisted kind of way…
Superb plot, super engaging, super twisted, super dark and captivating.
I was super nervous when I started to read this book and as you can imagine it was nearly impossible to stop. Chapter after chapter, I saw myself being consumed by a sense of betrayal and loss. I was happy and then, with a flick of the next page and I was mad.
It was perfect and will make you feel all sorts of things.
Just see for yourself.
I can’t say more, because I will not spoil but darn… I’m mad…
Why end it like that? With that huge bomb…
Willow… Why woman? Please don’t make us wait too long for the next one. I need answers and I need them now… Now…
