Release Blitz: Dissolution - Rachel Van Dyken

 Dissolution by Rachel Van Dyken is now live! 


A mafia romance about family, loyalty, and love, Dissolution is the powerful conclusion to #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken's Eagle Elite series.

"There is always a beginning—I will be their end."

For ten years the Cosa Nostra has ruled with an iron fist in Chicago—their reign is about to end, and I'll be the one to bring them down.

One more job for the Italian Americans, and I'm done.
Except this "one job" involves saving the boss's brother and sister.
When things go horribly wrong, and a price is put on all of our heads from my Family back home—I'm forced to stay in Chicago, offer not just my gun but my protective services to the young girl I saved while also making sure nobody touches her.
Myself included.

My own Family has splintered.
Half want me dead, half want me alive, and the only people willing to protect me are the very ones I hate—her included.

I'm the Grim Reaper of the Sicilian mafia, and I bow to no one, not even her, so when she asks me to teach her to fight, when she tells me she wants to be made, I give in just so I can piss off the bosses.
Only I made one mistake.

I protect her from the world.
But who protects me from her?

One more battle remains between the families in Italy and in the States.
One more battle where I'm torn between both sides.
And I'm left protecting the one girl who has the potential to wreck us all.

It all started a decade ago at Eagle Elite University—the beginning.
It will end on the streets of Chicago—with me as the end.

I, Santino Sinacore, am their end.


**This may be the end of the OG Eagle Elite, but it is NOT the end of the Eagle Elite World!**

Review: Answering Atlas - Chantal Fernando

Answering Atlas Answering Atlas by Chantal Fernando
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Answering Atlas by Chantal Fernando is book three in the Knights & Dragons series. The book focuses on Atlas and Natalie. Natalie was born into the Wind Dragons MC and is the youngest daughter of Rake. A hard-working lawyer, she doesn’t really want anything to do with the MC and definitely doesn’t wat a relationship with any man associated with it. That is until she meets Atlas, mistaking him for his twin, she is quite judgmental, and it is only with Atlas putting her in her place that they kind of become frenemies who are attracted to one another. 

Throw into the book a lot of drama not only between the two main characters but also the MC’s and you have yourself an intriguing mix, especially when Natalie has to choose between her client’s confidentiality and her family (it definitely doesn’t go well). Atlas also goes through his own trials and tribulations throughout the book and there are moments of heartbreak for many of the characters.

If you’ve read previous books by Chantal Fernando, you’ll know some of the characters and it was great to see some of them older and wiser. This is another great addition to the series, and it will be interesting to see what happens next.

Review: At First Meet - Carrie Ann Ryan

At First Meet At First Meet by Carrie Ann Ryan
My rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 stars

At First Meet is book 2 in the Montgomery Ink Legacy series by Carrie Ann Ryan’s. The story focuses on Nick and Lake who have been frenemies for years and secretly have liked each other for a long time too. It is only due to both of their baggage that they haven’t done anything but a work related retreat sees Nick and Lake thrown together where the sparks fly  and enemies become more…if only someone from Lake’s past would take the hint and leave them alone!

Nick and Lake are great together, they both have a lot of baggage that they bring to their relationship as well as a vulnerability with each other. Nick is still reeling from the relationship he has with his mother and doesn’t feel like he quite fits with the Montgomery’s. The same can be said for Lake who made a mistake in a previous relationship which is haunting her, and her evil ex doesn’t seem to want to let her go. She’s scared when it comes to trying something new with Nick, especially as he speaks his mind and they seem to be opposites in all matters. Through it all though, both Nick and Lake don’t give up on each other and push each other to build a strong and lasting relationship.

This is another great addition to the series with two wonderfully strong characters. I love that other family members pop up and how close everyone is without being overbearing. There is a good bit of steam in this book and a twist at the end that I didn’t see coming. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series!

Review: Dissolution - Rachel Van Dyken

Dissolution Dissolution by Rachel Van Dyken
My rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 stars

Oh, the drama! That is pretty much what this book is all about as were submerged in the life of Santino and Katya. We meet Katya in terrible circumstances as she struggles to survive. Enter Santino, a man with a plan that will eventually get him killed if he doesn’t decide whose side he’s on, the Cosa Nostra’s or someone else’s. Loyalties will be tested and only the strongest are going to survive!

I loved, loved, loved Santino as a character, he’s strong, domineering and an assassin, but he definitely has a heart when it comes to Kayla and making her a stronger version of herself, even if it means putting his own head on the chopping block. He certainly is the Grim Reaper wrapped up in some incredible hotness! Kayla is also a great character and her bond with her twin is strong if not heart-breaking. She has been through the wringer but like a phoenix has risen from the ashes to find out who she is and where she belongs in her family. She gives as good as she gets with Santino, but has a streak of vulnerability and strength which just makes her an amazing character.

If you have read any of the Eagle Elite series, it’s hard to choose which characters you like best (definitely Chase for me!) and you don’t have to in this book as they all pop up again, taking on the enemy and making sacrifices for the ones they love!

As always, loyalties are going to be tested, there’s going to be blood, drama and some steaminess thrown into the mix. Hold onto your seats and enjoy the ride!
