**Fatal is the second book of the Portland Street Kings Series and so I highly recommend you to read Collision first. **

Evie Harper has always been one of those authors who flies under the radar who deserves to be in the limelight. Her books and writing style are so fresh, smart, clean and crisp. Evie never fails to deliver a story that packs a punch. All her stories have a way of bringing out all the FEELS. And in this second installment of the Portland Street Kings Series, Evie Harper writes one wicked and addicting love story that will have our hearts colliding in one fatal romance.

With Evie’s raw, gritty and provocative storyline, she takes her readers on an intense journey filled with sensuality, heartbreak and passion. Fatal is so much more than a second chance romance. This book is a gauntlet of emotions of two people having their lives on a crash collision course. Is it fatal? Yes, fatal in the sense that Mack and Lana have a deep rooted history that is so intense, heartbreaking and yet so magnetizing. This story. These characters. This raw emotions are meant to be experienced as loyalty are tested when danger threatens to tear them apart. As always, Evie has tethered her readers on a story that beautifully weaves drama, family, love, passion, loyalty, and danger in one ravishing storyline.

It’s no secret that I adore Rochelle Paige and so when I found out that she was releasing another book, I couldn’t wait to read Save Your Soul. In this hot quick read, Rochelle takes readers into the jungle. Yes, I said into the jungle where inhibitions, passion and danger collide in one sensual and provocative romance.

Since this story is short, I won’t go into much detail since the synopsis pretty much give readers an insight on what to expect. But what I can tell you is that if you are looking for a quick romance that will leave a smile on your face then this book is definitely for you. I know there are readers who aren’t fans of the insta-love but for this particular story, it works for Brecken Kane and Hadley Gresham. So if you are looking for a romance that is explosive, hot, passionate, and dangerously sexy then look no further that Save Your Soul.

I fell in love with both characters. Annalise and Michael's love story have imprinted in my brain, sending flutters to my heart. Yes, SINFUL LOVE is that good!!! It's Exhilarating. Mesmerizing. Unforgettable. All the feels were overwhelming. There were times when I felt like I was honestly holding my breath. It's another romance that will stay with me for a long time. Feeling all the emotions seeping through the pages of my device while reading made the read very intriguing. I could not stop turning from page to next. It's very suspenseful, but the story focuses more on the journey they both had to endure. The struggles they had to experience. The battle they had to fight to stay strong. The love that is irreplaceable between Annalise and Michael is what I truly love about Lauren Blakely's SINFUL LOVE.

Sinful love is an overwhelming love story. Packed with all the feels that will have you holding your breath the entire read. I highly recommend you read this book.

What can I say but je t'aime. Yes, that’s right. I LOVE this newest release by Lauren Blakely. It was hot, sexy, sensual, suspenseful and oh so dangerously sinful!!!

Ms. Blakely continues to lure her readers to fall head over in heel in love with her characters, prose, and most importantly her seductive storytelling. She has mastered this sinful talent in weaving a story with heart, suspense, passion, and raw emotions.

Sinful Love is a story that tethers us to the magnetizing and provocative depths of second chances and brings forth the notion of true love. Questions and doubts of what ifs are answered. Lauren Blakely doesn’t leave a second of doubt when it comes to the truth. The truth of love. It doesn’t waver. Doesn’t second guess. It is real. Raw. And most importantly, it’s felt. And in this final installment of this amazing and seductive series, Lauren Blakely gives her readers a story where unbridled passion and love will seep through our pores and have us craving for more Sinful love.

Blaire Drake. Immediately when I hear this author’s name, I think of her book, Dear Professor, which was wickedly sexy and steamy. And so when I found out that she was releasing another book, I knew I had to get my hands on it.

“My name, Adriana, was dark. My nickname, scuro, was dark. My life, a mafia princess, was dark. My father had no idea what he’d done. One day, he would pay. He would atone for his sins. I would make sure of it.”

Unlike her first book which had the forbidden and sexy undertone, Hunter was very different. Though this book had the sexy element weaved into the story line, it wasn’t the main focus. This book was more a mafia suspense. Yes, Blaire Drake had incorporated a romance aspect but it was mainly more suspense in my opinion.

So what happens when the hunter becomes the prey? When a mafia princess makes her return and gets revenge on the man who ruined her life? Can the prey become the hunter?

“The boy I'd once loved was now a monster. Nothing more than a cold-blooded killer. Or was he?”

When it comes to mafia romantic suspense story lines, I don’t like to say much in my reviews since the best part in truly enjoying the book is going through all the unsuspecting twist and turns, discovering revelations and experiencing the passion between a trained assassin and a mafia princess. Yes, there will be heartbreak, loss, passion, violence, revenge, and danger but there is also a raging inferno of desire and love. So if you are ready to experience a whirlwind of love and danger, then hold on tight as Blaire Drake tells the story of a mafia princess who is on the hunt for love and justice and of a trained assassin who is on the hunt for redemption, absolution, and love.

So last year, I was scrolling through my kindle trying to decide what book should I read. All I knew, I was looking for some quick read. And so when I finally decided to read this book titled Forbidden, I found myself practically inhaling it. I was hooked and had to research who is this Lauren Smith. So after a few messages exchanged, I practically adored this author. And so when Lauren messaged me if I was interested in reading her other series called Surrender I was like hell yeah I would love to read. And how could I not, when she told me “Michelle, If you loved Tristan then I think you will love my alpha male characters in the Surrender Series.” I was practically sold. Lauren did not need to say anymore.

“Almost had her? No. He definitely had her, practically wrapped up with a bow on top, totally and completely his. No question.”

The Gilded Cuff was dangerously erotic, sensual and suspenseful. Lauren Smith did not disappoint me at all when she delivered a storyline that had elements of suspense, mystery, erotic BDSM, and romance undertones woven in the story to give readers a full spectrum and depth of the raw emotions and motivations for the main characters. In this novel that is built on the premise of solving a mystery, Ms. Smith will capture and tug the hearts of her readers as she bombards us with a sensual story of two strangers finding love and passion in an unlikely circumstance. As Sophie Ryder surrenders herself to Emery Lockwood in body and mind, she soon will discover that she may be also surrendering her heart to him as well.

Sophie Ryder is an investigative journalist, who tackles on unsolved kidnapping and murder cases. And The Lockwood’s 25 year old kidnapping case is one case that Sophie hopes to solve. So when Sophie meets Emery, she offers to surrender herself to Emery in exchange for information on what really happened to him and his twin and how did he escape from his kidnappers. She thinks that Emery’s abductors are still after him and his life in danger.

“He kissed her with raw possession, his mouth showing her how wicked it would be between them. Wild, dark, and completely free. She wanted that more than anything, the freedom to let go, to give in to the erotic dreams she’d spent years ignoring but never had felt safe enough to give in to before. His kiss broke down every barrier, obliterated every part of herself she tried to hide.”

Emery Lockwood and his twin Fenn were taken from their home when they were 8 years old. And now 25 years later, Emery is still reeling from his abduction and the loss of his twin brother. Emery uses his domination and sex as his way of taking control of the situation and so when he meets Sophie, he is intrigued by her beauty, vulnerability, and inquisitive nature. So when she agrees to his demands of her submission, he begins to open up to her and tells her of what really happened twenty-five years ago. Slowly, he begins to tell her things that no one knew and how Finn sacrificed his life in order for Emery to escape.

As Emery and Sophie begin to form a bond, the sexual attraction between them begins to intensify. Emery knew the moment he laid eyes on her that she was his. His only. And so when he gave her his cuff, it signified that she was indeed special. But as Emery begins to let his guards down, danger begins to threaten his safety and the people that he loves. What happens when his abductor from 25 years ago wants to finish what he started and destroy the love of Emery and Sophie? Will Emery be able to take losing another person he loves?

“She surrendered herself, her heart and everything in her that she’d held secret all her life. He owned her and she couldn’t find the strength to care, not tonight.”

The Gilded Cuff was a devastatingly emotional and sensual romantic suspense. Lauren Smith did not miss a beat as she continue to string along her readers on one roller coaster ride that was full of twist and turns. If you are a fan of alpha males and tough heroines, then this series is for you. All I can say is that Lauren Smith has definitely me surrendering as she holds me hostage with this series. I seriously can’t wait to dive into the next book.

“For the first time in my life, I wanted to help someone without any thought to the cost. I wanted to help her.”

DARE TO RUN is the first book of Jen McLaughlin's new series, Sons of Steel Row. Unlike Jen's previous books, Dare to Run is a thrilling and gritty tale that follows an anti-hero in Lucas Donahue.

Lucas Donahue is ruthless, calculating, merciless, and cunning. A criminal. A killer. A gangster. He is the guy that you wouldn't want to cross with.Growing up in South Boston, the streets toughen him up and he knew his rank in the gang. But after being released from prison, Lucas Donahue discovers that someone is ready to eliminate him. Now with the target on his back Lucas has to be careful. There is no one Lucas can trust but himself. So when he sees the bartender being attacked in alley outside her bar, Lucas jumps in and saves her from another rival gang. He makes it known to them that she's his girl.

“Okay, yeah, I’d started a war over a woman. But what a woman she was . . . And she was all mine.”

Heidi Greene doesn't know what to make sense of Lucas and his controlling ways. She knows that she should stay away from him because he is dangerous and trouble but for the life of her, she can't stay away from him. Like a moth to a flame, Heidi embarks on dangerous road as she lays her heart on the line as she slowly lets Lucas in. And the same can be said for Lucas, as walls begins to crumble and this hard emotionless man begins to show a caring and loving side.

“This is a mistake, but, sweetheart, I'll make sure that I'm the best mistake you've ever made.”

Dare to Run was a great introduction to what I can tell will be an exciting, gritty, intense, and suspenseful series. I loved that Jen McLaughlin was able to weave a sexy gritty story line with such raw emotions and vulnerabilities. So if you are looking for a story that was fast paced, thrilling, and sinfully engrossing then this book is for you.
