The much awaited conclusion of The Retrieval Duet is finally here. It’s no secret that I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Transfer and Aly Martinez was well aware of this. And let me just say Aly didn’t just give her readers a great conclusion, she delivered a phenomenal read that concludes the one story of two couples.

#Transfer

In Retrieval, readers were introduced to Roman Leblanc and Elisabeth and their emotional journey of getting back to that love that united them. Their loss, happiness, love were all intertwined with another woman’s story. And in so in Transfer readers will finally get to hear Claire’s journey. Her story of pain, loss, disappointment, and her survival from a marriage that was built on lies and bruises. I know that I am being vague in this review of what happens and that is because I cannot fully explain the story without giving away spoilers. All I can tell you is that Aly Martinez delivered an impeccable original story that was breathtaking, heartbreaking, touching, poignant and visceral. This conclusion of this duet was a culmination of heart, beauty, survival, second chances and hope. I want to thank and applaud Aly Martinez for writing a story that brings forth the awareness of how fertility problems can affect a marriage and also awareness that domestic violence is something that cannot be swept under the rug.

So if you are looking for a romantic suspense that weaves heart, hope, love, forgiveness, and new beginnings then I highly recommend you to read The Retrieval Duet. Aly Martinez will not disappoint you. Transfer your trust in her because this is one story that will forever be etched into your heart.

Sinfully satisfied!!!! Ms. Georgia Cates did another amazing job in delivering a sexy, suspenseful romance. And in One Last Sin, Ms. Cates had her readers on the edge with all the surprising and shocking revelations she was able to incorporate into the story line.

#OneLastSin

One Last Sin picks off right where it last left off from The Next Sin. Bleu is being held captive by The Order and Sin will stop at nothing in trying to rescue his wife even if it means killing anyone who gets in his way. In this final installment, Bleu and Sin's love for each other is a love like no other. They will defend and protect their love. And in One Last Sin, with threats against his family and the Fellowship, Sin and Bleu shows a united front that together they are indeed a powerhouse couple.

Sin and Bleu's devotion for each other is what captured my heart. Their love was so pure that you could feel their love and adoration radiating off each other. I absolutely loved this couple and they have become one of my favorite fictional couple of 2015. With so many threats and danger facing them, Sin and Bleu doesn't let that phase them. Together they will fight back. And together they stand.

In this final installment, though the story focuses primarily on Sin and Bleu, Ms. Cates was able to weave so much action and suspense into the storyline. The drama surrounding the Fellowhsip and it's rival, The Order had me on edges as to what was to come. With this book, I never knew what to expect since this book was full of suspense and surprises. Since this is a mafia book, you never knew who will be killed off. And as for the secondary characters, Ellison, Jamie, Lorna, and Leith, they were able to add depth to the story line. I literally wanted more since I was so invested into getting to know them as well.

One Last Sin was the perfect ending to Bleu and Sin's story. This trilogy was one sexy, suspenseful roller coaster ride full of twist and turns. The writing was on point and the story line was addicting. Bleu and Sin's relationship really did come to full a circle. I am beyond happy that they finally got their HEA ending. The only thing that I felt that was missing in this book was the conclusion of Lorna and Leith's story. I am hoping Ms. Cates will treat us to a spin-off to their story since their story was left unresolved. I also would love to know what will become of Ellison and Jamie... so here's me hoping that Ms. Cates will do a spin-off.

Overall, I will just say this trilogy is a MUST READ!!!! Be prepared to have your hearts captured by Sin... This trilogy had everything I could want in a romantic suspense book. It had sex, murder, revenge, death, brotherhood, and suspense all integrated into the story line. Each element was flawlessly incorporated into the story line providing added substance to make the emotions and suspense more raw and realistic for Bleu and Sin. Their relationship will capture your heart because they truly showcased the meaning of love, trust, family and sacrifices.

Sexy. Sizzling. Titillating. Suspenseful. Sinful. These are a few words to describe Necessary Sin by Georgia Cates. Georgia will and always be one of my go to authors because her stories are always laced with a decadent, sexy, and intriguing story line and for this particular story, readers are in for a treat as one woman’s quest for vengeance leads her into the arms of her enemy. I will not say much about this book because this is one sinful journey that readers must embark on with Bleu as she discovers that sometimes it is necessary to sin especially if it’s in the arms of Sinclair Breckenridge.

Sinfully Addictive!!! Yes, I think that about sums up my sentiments on The Sin Trilogy by Georgia Cates. I practically devoured reading Necessary Sin and The Next Sin in one sitting and I loved every moment of it. If you are looking for a hot new sexy, raw, suspenseful romance book that will have your kindles heating up then look no further than The Sin Trilogy. Georgia Cates has truly outdone herself with her wicked and spellbinding storytelling and writing.

#TheNextSin

Revenge. Love, Sacrifices. Family. Brotherhood. Loyalty. Marriage. Friendship. Yes, all those comes into play as bonds are tested in The Next Sin. Picking where it last off, the truth of Bleu’s real identity is revealed and she is back home in Tennessee with her sister and father. With her cover blown, she is now in hiding but what she fails to notice is that she has a target on her back. A hit has been ordered by Abram. And so Sin decides the only option to protect the woman he loves is to make her a Breckenridge for good. That’s right, Sin marries Bleu and makes her his wife. They thought their problems will be all resolved now with The Fellowship but wedded bliss didn’t last long as more trouble begins to emerge in the brotherhood. Loyalty and possible double-crossing begins to take place within the organization and to top it off, fertility issues begins to add stress on Bleu and Sin’s relationship. Now that Bleu is part of this organization, her hunt to find the real murderer of her mother intensifies. With Bleu’s need to find the killer, she puts her life in jeopardy. And with a new crime family seeking revenge on Sin, comes a whole new set of vengeance and danger on The Fellowship. So what awaits for Sin and Bleu as danger and threatens their well-being and safety?

Simply, go read The Next Sin by Georgia Cates. This book was everything I could want in a romantic suspense book. It had sex, murder, revenge, death, brotherhood, and suspense all integrated into the storyline. Each element was flawlessly incorporated into the storyline providing added substance to make the emotions and suspense more raw and realistic for Bleu and Sin. Their relationship instantly captivates me because they are two dominant characters who must learn to lean on each other for support. Bleu and Sin truly showcased the meaning of love, trust, and sacrifices and so I am immediately drawn to their strong connection and bond. This second installment, will definitely have you begging Ms. Cate for more Bleu and Sin. I am anxiously awaiting to get my hands on the final book as I await to find out what becomes of Bleu, Sin, and the brotherhood.

Breathtaking. Epic. Beautiful. Emotional. Raw. Aly Martinez has truly outdone herself with her latest release, Retrieval. This book was everything you could want and wish for in a romantic suspense.

photo 562c48bcaef61ed541cedd87d8c3eb_zpstr5tdx7j.gif

“But how do you throw a lifeline when you yourself don’t even have a rope to hold on to? I might have been able to keep her afloat for another day, but I’d never have been able to pull her back to me.”

There are truly no right words to describe how phenomenal Retrieval by Aly Martinez is but I will do my best to give this book the praise and attention that it deserves. Right off the opening pages, Aly will hold you hostage with her powerful, stunning, touching and visceral prose. THIS BOOK. Yes, this book is EVERYTHING!!!!! It is ALL THE FEELS!!!!!!!! It’s poignant, devastating, heartrendingly beautiful, raw and it’s tragic!

photo 562c48bcaef61ed541cedd87d8c3eb_zpstr5tdx7j.gif

“I’d lived twenty-six years of life before that night. But, suddenly, I was alive for the very first time. I knew absolutely nothing about that man. But I knew he was mine. And I was meant to be his. ”

With a symphony of raw emotions being evoked, Aly grips and demands your full attention as she takes her readers on a journey of REAL LOVE. No, I am not talking about LOVE that is superficial but a LOVE that every hopeless romantic craves, wants, and needs. A love that is timeless. A love that is raw. A love that makes you feel alive. A love that hurts. A love that burns. An unforgettable kind of love. A love that is tangible and palpable from the start. A love where there is no end. And Aly Martinez gave her readers that. She told a love story that was epic. A love story that has two sides.

#Retrieval (1)

On their first date, Roman proposed to Elisabeth and the very next day she said yes. You could say their love was a whirlwind and it truly was. Right from the start, Roman and Elisabeth knew that this love and connection between them was REAL. There was no denying it. It was the kind of love that was magical. They were so madly in love and wanted to start a family. After months of trying to get pregnant, Roman and Lissy decided to do fertility treatments even though they didn’t have that much money. They thought their dreams were a reality when Lissy got pregnant but that dream was shattered when they had to bury their son. Soon, Roman became distant and didn’t know how to comfort his grieving wife. Lack of communication became their downfall and so Roman and Lissy ended their marriage.

photo 562c48bcaef61ed541cedd87d8c3eb_zpstr5tdx7j.gif

“What I felt when Roman Leblanc took my hand was more than any poet, author, or screenwriter could describe. It was the culmination of every emotion I’d ever experienced. The high of happy, the depths of sad, and the spine-tingling chill of ecstasy.”

Two years later, Roman is still madly in love with Lissy. He has buried himself in work and sends checks to Lissy. Lissy hasn’t quite moved on as well and deep down readers are well aware that Roman owns a big part of her heart. Will Roman be able to ask for forgiveness and retrieve the only woman who owns his heart, mind, body and soul? Or will it be too late?

#Retrieval

In the backdrops of Roman and Lissy’s story, Aly introduces readers to Claire and her daughter. Claire is married to a husband that is the opposite of Roman. Covered in bruises and beaten daily, Claire is in a marriage that she is trapped in. The only reason Claire hasn’t left her husband is for the sake of their daughter. She is afraid that her husband will kill her and hurt their child. Will someone be able to save Claire or will she be left broken?

photo 562c48bcaef61ed541cedd87d8c3eb_zpstr5tdx7j.gif

“Thrust after thrust, his strong arms held me to his chest as he fucked me hard and fast. It was feral, and had it been any other man in the world, it would have been punishing. But it was Roman, and he was back. He was mine. And I had always been his. No one else.”

#Retrieval2

Retrieval is by far one of the best books that Aly Martinez has written. It was sexy, suspenseful, raw, visceral, and emotional. This book was one of those reads you have to experience in order to understand Roman, Lissy and Claire. This is a story of not just one couple’s journey of repairing their marriage but it is also a story of one woman’s quest of survival. Be prepared to get lost in all the feels. So if you are ready to experience an organic and raw story on the power of love, hope, survival, and strength then I highly recommend you to read this book.

“I may not be a princess and Nox may not be Prince Charming, but the clock had struck midnight. My time had run out.”

Bold. Captivating. Consuming. Addictive. Aleatha Romig has seductively written by far one of my favorite installments of the Infidelity Series with Entrapment. This title is so fitting in a sense that Romig has entrapped her readers to be bewitched with her poetic and visceral prose.

#Entrapment (1)

While Charli wants to be with Nox, she can’t. Her stepfather’s manipulative ways has held her hostage. As much it pains Nox not being able to control the situation and rescue his woman, he must trust her. And Charli is no damsel in distress as she has a plan. Nox must believe that their love is fierce and strong enough to survive anything and it truly is.

photo 3e4f4578a82406896ceb018fc2da50_zpsfu3lbmtu.gif

“It would be easy to be saved, to be rescued. But Nox had told me he wasn’t Prince Charming, and I refused to be the damsel in distress. This was my fight.”

As more secrets and unraveling of the truth are revealed, more complication arises which only heighten the intensity and appeal of the story of Nox and Charli. While Aleatha Romig had me growing stir crazy with the all the angst, I absolutely loved every minute of it. Romig brilliantly dissected and masterfully wrote a story that was filled with such raw intensity and suspense. This installment was a culmination of angst, drama, passion, and secrets that were meticulous pieced together in a fashion to help showcase the strong character depth of Nox and Charli. As I have said before, Romig will hold you hostage in this consuming and seductive story. There is no Prince Charming and Damsel in Distress to be saved because there is only Nox and Charli and together they will fight for their love. And that is the only truth to get entrapped in. As for that ending, OMG!!!! I am seriously dying for the final conclusion of this series.

“Villains need love too,” she retorts. That they do. And in our story, we’re both the motherfucking villains.”

#ThisIsntoverBaby

OMFG!!! THIS BOOK! AHHH….THIS BOOK IS THE BEST!!! YES, THIS BOOK IS BLOODY FUCKING AMAZING AND TWISTED!!!!! AND OH YEAH, K.WEBSTER IS AN EVIL BRILLIANT GENIUS. ALL HAIL K.WEBSTER AND HER CRAZY DARK MIND. (fyi.. Yes, bold shouty caps are needed in this review)

This Isn’t Over, Baby is not for the faint of heart. This is not your lovey dovey romance. There is no prince charming or white knight in shining armor unless you consider your Prince Charming to be a crazy obsessed killer who loves to whip you into submission. So yeah, even villains need love and this villain known as Gabe needs his own perfect mate. A queen to match his craziness and dark side. Or in this case, a much crazier lover who takes rage and killing to another level.

photo 3e1b8160b506750b7daefd594436b8_zpsafbvn1mh.gif

“But everything happened. That night, I transformed. I became someone better. I became my own monster.”

Gabe is one of a kind. He is cunning. He is duplicitous. He is insidious. He is ruthless. He is a killer. He is today’s literary modern version of Hades. And this Hades needs his very own Persephone. And boy oh boy did he find his very own Persephone. This woman who stole Gabe’s heart was everything. She was worth killing for. And of course, Gabe killed for her and fulfilled her craving for the dark side. But in this relationship, it is about give and take and his Persephone killed for him too. Can we say Gabe found his soulmate? Absofuckinlutely.

photo 3e1b8160b506750b7daefd594436b8_zpsafbvn1mh.gif

“One look in his protective eyes, and I don’t feel an ounce of fear. He would kill for me. That’s what his eyes say. And he did. Twice.”

I know that I am being vague as to who the heroine is and how Gabe met her. Well, the best part of this book is the crazy messed up ride that K.Webster took her readers on. Literally, she took us down the proverbial rabbit hole where there is only one way out and that is through the eyes of Gabe and his girl. And let me just say, this is one journey that you will need to strap on and hold on tight as you will get assaulted with a bloody mess of craziness. And if you are a dark romance fan like myself, then you will be left begging for more.

#ThisIsntoverBaby1

Was this book twisted? Yes. Was this book dark? Umm, it’s Gabe’s story so of course it was dark. Was this book fucked up? Hell, yes! Was this book brilliant? YES!!!! This book was crazy but I fucking LOVED every minute of it it. And if you thought Gabe was fucked up, wait till you meet his girl. She took craziness and darkness to a whole new level. A part of me feels sorry for Gabe because he has to deal with her but he is truly the only person that can tame and control her darkness.

photo 3e1b8160b506750b7daefd594436b8_zpsafbvn1mh.gif

“No, you’re my fuck doll, sweet girl. You’re my woman, my soul, my motherfucking other half. But you need them and you’ll do as I say, or I’ll force them down your throat just like I forced my cock down it.”

#ThisIOver2

I will say this one more time if you didn’t get the message. K.Webster is an evil genius. She has masterfully strung along readers on this crazy ride of mayhem, destruction, and twisted love. With her vivid and stunning prose, K. Webster creates and tells a visceral and palpable love story that will have you on the edge of your seats. So are you ready to discover who is the lucky lady that stole Gabe’s heart, body, mind and soul? If so, get ready because their story isn’t over yet, baby?

“His words, each and every one of them, she committed to memory, savoring and holding them close to her heart where they’d all remain safe and untainted, touched by no one. No one could ever take them away from her. They were hers, given to her and they meant everything to her.”

A sizzling seductive slow burn romance that is brimming with so much intensity and all the feels!!!! Maya Bank just reminded me once again as to why I enjoy the Slow Burn Series with her newest installment With Every Breath as she tethers our hearts to one electric and palpable connection.

#WithEveryBreath2

In this fourth installment, Banks slowly lures readers with her heartfelt prose as she takes us on a journey of a young woman rediscovering her strength, will, and fight to survive. Eliza Cummings thought she had experienced love but in a series of lies and tragic events, she learned that this love that she thought she had with Thomas was nothing but control and manipulation. When Eliza finally had the strength to leave that part of her life behind her, the monster that she once feared comes back with a vengeance but this time Eliza is ready for him or is she?

photo 60c10cd156f051fb7dbf9a3ae80385 1_zpszsyrodnq.gif

“You mean something to me. You. And that means all of you, not just the parts you want me to see while you hide the parts you’re so determined to be ashamed of and feel guilt over. You’re mine, Eliza. All of you. Every inch of you, body and soul. And it wasn’t just your body that I claimed when I made love to you and was inside you so deep that there will never be a time you don’t feel me. I also claimed your heart, your soul, your mind and everything that makes you the person you are and what you were meant to be. And what you were meant to be is mine.”

Wade Sterling is a man that answers to no one. He is arrogant, cocky, confident, and an enigma. There is nothing that can get pass his hard exterior and guarded walls that is until Eliza Cummings challenged him mentally, physically and emotionally. Eliza is the only woman who was able to get under his skin. So when Wade started to get suspicious of Eliza’s odd behavior, he knew something was wrong. Since Eliza didn’t want to let him in and tell him what’s going on, Wade decided to make Eliza’s problems his. When Eliza informs him of the truth, Wade will stop at nothing in protecting her. As Wade shows Eliza how rare and precious she is, what happens when Eliza’s ex tries to destroy her happiness?

#WithEveryBreath

With Every Breath was one of those reads that strips you bare as a heroine discovers how precious she is. Eliza is a relatable character in the sense that she wears her heart on her sleeves. As a child of the foster care system, Eliza craved and wanted love and so when she thought she found the right man who loved her, he destroyed her. He left her broken that is until the right man showed Eliza the most precious gift of all. The gift of real love. Wade Sterling is a man of few words but when it comes to Eliza Cummings, she is his everything. And so if you are looking for a love story that beautifully weaves psychic elements, friendship, family, passion, and raw emotions then With Every Breath is the book for you. Prepare to get lost in a magnetic love story that will awaken all your senses.

A sexy symphony of danger, chicanery, loss, raw emotions, and a mafia romance like no other!!!! Katee Robert has once again hypnotized readers as she beautifully and masterfully delivered a story that is a modern version of The Godfather and Goodfellas. Of course, this book stands out on it’s own as Katee Robert didn’t forget to put her own signature mafia twist.

In this third installment to The O’Malleys Series , Katee Robert focuses on Cillian O’Malley. Cillian was the brother that intrigued me from the start and I couldn’t wait to read his story in An Indecent Proposal. Cillian took his brother’s death the hardest and soon he found comfort in alcohol, violence, and women. When his life began to spiral out of control, Cillian took it upon himself to reinvent and change his former ways.

Violence. Duplicity. Greed. Death. Olivia Rashidi has become very familiar with those things as she has lived majority of her life surrounded by this lifestyle. As the daughter of a Russian mob, Olivia decides to leave that part of her life behind so her daughter can live a normal life. And so when she meet Cillian O’Malley, Olivia has every right to be nervous and wary of him. She is very familiar with the surname O’Malley and their association to the Irish Mafia.

As much as Olivia should know to stay away, she is drawn to Cillian in such a visceral manner that didn’t need much explanation. The raw vulnerable sides that both Olivia and Cillian had were tastefully exposed and stripped in such a captivating way that readers like myself could feel that unspoken bond that they shared. And in true mafia romance, danger begins to threaten the safety and bubble of Olivia and Cillian as a war of power struggle in Boston begins to emerge when Olivia’s half brother enters the picture. As the imminent danger begins to loom, how far will Cillian go to protect Olivia and her daughter?

An Indecent Proposal was a sexy, riveting, and emotionally gripping mafia romance that was beautifully well-written. Katee Robert added depth, humanity, grit, and violence in such a profound way highlighting the inner turmoil and battle that Cillian and Olivia has to endure. Within the backdrops of power struggle, violence, and the mafia, Katee Robert wrote an amazing love story that was unmistakably tangible and palpable right from the opening pages. This third installment is hands down my favorite of the series and so if you are looking for an emotive, action-packed, and sexy romance then I highly recommend you read this book and series NOW!!!
