A new kind of twin swap…

Kenzie makes a deal with the father who never wanted her all in an effort to help take care of the mother she loves more than anything. She agrees to be the body double for her twin sister in exchange for him paying for her mother’s surgery and other bills. As a politician he needs a stand-in for the daughter he actually claims so no one notices when she’s recovering at home, or at least that’s the story he gives her. She realizes he’s up to no good when she stands in for sister at an event only to be kidnapped and held to be used against him.

She becomes a hostage of the Kings, being held by some of their men tasked with laundering money through their various businesses. Kenzie ends up getting passed from one penthouse to club to penthouse between Stone, River, Rafe, and Dominick while the Kings try to force her father to give them what they want.

She tries to convince them they have the wrong sister but the problem is no one knew she actually existed. And when she’s no longer useful to her father, he puts out a hit on her. Luckily she now has four hot men to protect her while they work together to bring him down.

Family drama, secret cam girl activities, pranks, ghosts from the past, danger, excitement, and spice. This final installment of the Queens of Khula City series has it all. The chemistry between them all is fantastic. The story is so good with layers on top of layers to wrap yourself up in. Great way to close out the series.

Hello Daddy Dom…

Luca is the billionaire owner of the Mercier Hotel line. He’s the widowed father to an adorable little girl. But he also has a darker, spicy side that he’s keeps hidden from not just the public but even his very close friends.

When his daughter needs a bodyguard who can blend in as his personal assistant, he ends up coming face to face with the fiery woman he previously shared a passionate night with. Scarlett is a former MMA fighter ready to take on the challenge. They both find themselves reliving the memories of their time together and can’t keep away from each other now. Of course there’s also the handsome Zar too. He’s Luca’s best friend, business partner, and one of his biggest secrets.

Luca is determined to keep his family life and his behind the scenes spicy Dom life completely separate. As they get closer and closer that gets harder and more complicated.

The chemistry and spice in this book was on a whole other level. But it wasn’t just about the scorching hot moments. There were so many tender, loving, and wholesome moments too. Luca is such a tortured soul, believing he didn’t deserve the love and the life he could have with Scarlett. He constantly struggled with accepting himself and what could be.

This story was so great. I absolutely loved it. I can’t wait to check all the other books in this spicy world off my TBR list. I have to know more about all their friends and their own stories now.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Faced with everything but never broken…

Book two in this series picks up right where we left off with book one. Frankie and the guys are stranded in the Arctic with a dwindling food supply, no power, a plane they can’t use, and a cryptic riddle they need to solve. I don’t want to give anything away but there’s no way you’ll see what’s coming in this book.

They face so much hardship and struggles, one right after the next in their fight to survive and escape. Throughout it all they stay strong and their relationships grow and evolve. They fight to get answers and to make the impossible possible.

Meanwhile Frankie’s husband Monty has not given up hope. He’s working harder to solve the mystery of Frankie’s disappearance. He believes there’s move to her just leaving and is determined to find her. In the process he discovers more of his family secrets and struggles with the fact that some of those might just be connected.

This book was great. It keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what could possibly happen next. When one mystery or problem is solved, they are faced with a new one. It leaves you guessing and wondering and working your way through theories with the reminder that you’re dealing with the manipulations of a psycho with plans one step ahead at all times.

I can’t wait to see where the next book will take this story. Throughout everything the love, spice, chemistry, loyalty, and determination of these characters make for such a great read.

Her hero and her keeper…

Evelyn finds herself kidnapped and held as bait to draw in her fiancé. When Massimo walks in to find her being abused, he doesn’t care that she belongs to his enemy. He just see’s an innocent woman being mistreated. Of course he quickly takes care of the situation, even if it means it puts him at risk of facing serious consequences.

He volunteers to handle the situation of her dirty DEA agent. Of course he also likes the perk of being able to keep his eyes on Evelyn in the process. Along the way he’s in the position to be her hero over and over until he realizes it’s best to keep her with him for her own protection.

As Evelyn faces the truth of who her fiancé really is, she’s also forced to face the growing feelings for her hero turned keeper. The chemistry between these two is undeniable. Massimo loves being her protector and wants to provide her with everything she could ever want or need. He’s determined to show her that she’s better off with him.

Be prepared for a cliffhanger that will leave you wanting more. I can’t wait for book two to come out.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I read Crave and now I’m craving more…

This was my first Chelle Bliss book and it definitely won’t be my last. When I started reading this I had no clue there was a whole Gallo family world leading up to it. Crave is a quick read novella to kick off a next generation series. But no worries if you’re like me and haven’t read the series before it. You won’t feel lost. But you definitely can tell there’s a great story leading up to it that will have you wanting to read it. And I plan to go back and do just that.

Tate is turning 30 and ready to put her crazy 20’s behind her. She’s the feisty owner of a tattoo shop and helps out at the bar her family owns across the street when she’s needed. That’s how she meets two young girls who have snuck out and are looking to try a Shirley Temple. When she finds out they’re the grandkids of one of the beloved regulars she walks them back home after to make sure they’re safe. And that’s how she meets their hot biker father, Wylder. He’s back in the city he grew up in after a divorce from a wife that we can all agree to say “good riddance” to.

The four of them quickly find a connection that has you swooning and really rooting for them. The chemistry between Tate and Wylder is there from the start. The bonding between Tate and his girls is so sweet. We even get to see the protective side of Wylder when Tate shares about her ex that’s connected to the MC his brother is with. I can’t wait to read where their relationship goes and how it evolves in the next book. And I really want to read every book on the Gallo family tree now. Yes, you can actually find that on Chelle’s website. Love that!

The epic conclusion…

The final book in the Born to Sin series picks up right where we left off. Commander Adam is locked up and being tortured for information and a confession. Kara is being held my Rick who is quickly losing his sanity and humanity.

Both Adam and Kara are forced to face so much. They both grow, evolve, and become stronger than ever. The true intensions of everyone working behind the scenes comes to light. As a result, the war between all these forces is quickly approaching. People are forced to face the consequences of their actions even though enforcing justice may take quite the tole on those around them.

This final book is action packed. The steam & chemistry, emotions, and growth is all there. So much I did not see coming. So much intensity. I really liked this whole series. And it’s made me want to dive deeper into the different interconnected series in this world.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The bonus chapter we all wanted…

I don’t want to give anything away that might spoil Make Him for you. But at the end of that book there was a link to a special bonus chapter featuring Luca, Scarlett, and Zar. It certainly did not disappoint. By the end of Make Him we all wanted to see more of these three and a little something that we were looking forward to.

This bonus chapter is set a bit after the conclusion of Make Him on the wedding night of another couple seen in the book. But this is more than their special night. It’s a night Zar won’t forget. And neither will we. So steamy and oh so good.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The bonus epilogue we didn’t even know we needed…

This bonus came as a freebie through Juniper’s mailing list. I was so excited for a chance to revisit Sarge and Joslyn. One of my favorite grumpy/sunshine couples. It’s was fun to see the big tough Sarge nervous about something he was preparing for Jos. And of course some of the other MC guys were there to give him a rough time about it. This was short and sweet and a perfect addition to the series.

I can’t wait for V and Oakley’s book to come out next. Need it!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fake it til you make it real…

When Tatum’s father passes away and it’s time to read the will, she gets the shock of her life. She doesn’t care about whether or not she’s left any money or part of the family business, because her father always made her aware of her place at the bottom of the list. She just wants her Aunt’s cottage that was promised to her. But even from the grave her father is pulling the strings. He’s made it so the only way she gets anything is if she marries the equally handsome and infuriating Kingston Callahan, and stays married for a year. And if she doesn’t she’ll lose everything. There’s more to this family and business merger than meets the eye though.

Since Kingston is her brother’s best friend, she’s been around him for most of her life but they’ve always been at odds. In order to make this arrangement work, they both plan to essentially fake it in order to get through it. But really they each hold more feelings than just irritation, and have for a long time whether they were willing to admit it or not.

They have so many ups and downs as they try to remind themselves it’s just a business arrangement. The chemistry is there from the start with a great push and pull dynamic. The whirlwind relationship builds and evolves the longer they’re stuck with each other. I loved how they pushed each other to realize what’s most important and what they both really want. So good!

This is a great start to a new series. I love the side characters all around and can’t wait to see more of their stories.
