Review: The Very Bossy Boys Next Door - Chloe Kent

The Very Bossy Boys Next Door by Chloe Kent
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐ stars

The Very Bossy Boys Next Door is a quick read from Chloe Kent. Amber the main character needs to do something drastic to get money to pay of her father’s debt and the only way she can do that is by selling her virginity. But before she can go through with it, three men from her past turn up and ruin her plans in a deliciously, delightful way. Matthew, Owen and Dex used to live next door to Amber and although they were attracted to her, they could never do anything about it because of who and what they were. This leads to them leaving and breaking young Amber’s heart. But not they’re back and they’re going to be doling out punishment to innocent Amber, no matter how much she begs or pleads…she should have just rang the number!

This book was steamy, with domineering men and an innocent young girl who was trying to make the most out of a bad situation. Amber is quite immature (in comparison to other Chloe Kent female characters), but she fits the three alpha men in her life, giving as good as she gets and trying not to back down too much.

As it is such a quick read, everything happens at such a quick speed. But in saying that, you definitely feel like this moment was going to happen between Amber and her men as she has loved them forever and vice versa (they just needed a little bit more convincing). Scenes were hot, sexy, panty melting and at times a little frustrating. But overall, a good read!

Review: Cruel Saints - Michelle Heard

Cruel Saints by Michelle Heard
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Cruel Saints is a new standalone mafia romance by Michelle Heard and boy is it a page turner. The story focuses on Lucian and Elena. Elena has a tragic life, being isolated and alone, she is having to endure some horrific trauma at the hands of her father and his right-hand man. The only saving grace is going to Monarch Academy, or so she thinks, until she is caught in the crosshairs of Lucian, a man who is going to be head of the Mafia one day and will take no prisoners.

This was a wonderfully written story as we see both characters fight their attraction for each other. One wants freedom and the other is developing their power without both realising that they would be stronger together. I loved the relationship between other characters and how the mafia/bratva members have all become brothers of sorts in a hugely dangerous chess board type game of killed or be killed.

Elena was such a strong character. After everything she has endured, she still has a spark inside her which won’t let her give up and she gives as good as she gets from Lucian, showing him that she isn’t afraid of him…at least physically. There were moments of pure terror reading about what she had been through, but she definitely comes out stronger on the other side. Her relationship with Lucian’s aunt was beautiful as was the twist and turns of who the assassin was.

This was a great book to read, and I can’t wait to read more from this author. A real page turner!

ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊

Review: Repeat Offender - Lani Lynn Vale

Repeat Offender by Lani Lynn Vale
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Repeat Offender sees Lani Lynn Vale return with a new series: Souls Chapel Revenant MC. The book shows the story of Lynnwood ‘Lynn’ Thatcher Windsor, a man who has had a lot of personas and lived a lot of lies. He’s the new mayor in town and he is not going to let the seedy underworld destroy everything good he is trying to work for. If only Ines ‘Six’ Broussard got the message. She is a hot mess of understatement and finds herself in the centre of Lynn’s problems. Thinking that Lynn is boring, he doesn’t ding on Six’s radar, until he does and then everything in the game starts to change.

This is a fast-paced passion filled, easy read. The characters are brilliant. I loved Six’s snarkiness, goofiness and just being different in general. She only seems to show her vulnerability to Lynn, but overall takes the world by the proverbial horns.

Lynn is completely different in contrast. An older man who has seen and done a lot in his life, he skirts the fringes of right and wrong and he seems to have a different persona depending upon the people he is dealing with. How he wants to run his town is intriguing and I can’t wait to get more into the series to see what each character brings to it.

Overall, another good read and a great start to a new series!

Review: Feuds and Reckless Fury - K. Webster

Feuds and Reckless Fury by K. Webster
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Feuds and Reckless Fury is the new MM, enemies to lover’s romance by K. Webster. The story focuses on Canyon and Alister. Canyon’s father has just proposed to Alis’s dad, much to the surprise of Canyon and the rest of his family. What ensues is pure drama on an epic scale and all Canyon can think about is getting even with his dad, and the best way to do that is through his new stepbrother Alis’. But Alis’ isn’t going to go down without a fight.

This story starts off with Canyon looking basically for revenge and there really isn’t any length that he won’t go to, to make Alis’ submit, even when it causes issues with his relationships with others as well as his standing in school. Canyon is definitely the wildcard throughout this story with a lot of sorrow, vulnerability and betrayal going on for him.

This brings us to Alis’ who is trying to be the perfect child so that his ‘father’ won’t throw him away. Alis’ has a completely different story from Canyon, and it plays out throughout the pages whilst he tries not only to fight his attraction to Canyon, but also keep on his good side. The moments that Alis’ and Canyon have together are beautifully complex as they become more tangled in each other.

There is definitely a lot going on story wise in this book and the duel POV certainly help us as a reader to better understand what is going on. Scenes are emotional, angst filled and full of passion. It’s definitely a page turner, full of surprises and some difficult issues.

Review: A Bullet Between Us - K. Dosal

A Bullet Between Us by K. Dosal
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

A Bullet Between us is the first book by new write K. Dosal. The story is set with a mafia style background and a woman who feels like she has nothing to lose. Davina has experienced a lot in her life, and it goes from bad to worse when she witnesses something she shouldn’t have and becomes embroiled in a fight for her own life. She is haunted by what she has witnessed, and we see her barely surviving until Ilias comes along.

Ilias is a very unique character with a complicated history. He is an enigmatic character, an alpha but who had a vulnerability to him, which was a refreshing change for this genre of book. He has to balance two sides of his life, one being a police officer and the other being part of the Mafia and making sure he’s protecting his brothers.

The story is complex and there is a lot going on as we figure out what roles characters play. I enjoyed the fact that the love wasn’t instant between he two characters and that Ilias wouldn’t let Davina hide, but also wouldn’t let her do anything stupid. There was a lot of steamy chemistry between the two characters with a lot of action and suspense which kept you guessing what was going to happen.

A really good start to a new series and a new author!

Review: Undercover Wolf - Paige Tyler

Undercover Wolf by Paige Tyler
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Undercover Wolf is book 2 in the STAT: Special Threat Assessment Team by Paige Tyler. The story centres around Alpha werewolf Harley Grant and Alpha werewolf Sawyer Bishop who are thrown together due to their jobs overlapping with one another. The story follows them as they travel around the world trying to beat the bad guys and save the day as they both figure out who they can trust.

Like previous Paige Tyler books, this one is full of action, suspense and passion. Both the characters are instant hits with me!  I enjoyed reading about their journey as well as them juggling their increasingly dangerous jobs and their relationship with each other. I love the paranormal element of Paige Tyler books, which definitely makes her a one click author for me.
