Blurb:
My ex said I was a failure. I proved him wrong by opening a magical cafe. When it might get shut down, can my four fated mates help save it?

When I finally open my dream business in a supernatural town, everything goes wrong. First, I get drunk and wake up in bed with my best friend. He’s never wanted me, just like my ex.

Then, all the objects inside my cafe come to life. I have to chase shrieking tables and soothe panicked mugs when I should be making drinks. To top it off, if I can’t help the spirits trapped inside the objects move on by morning, I can kiss my cafe goodbye.

I’m starting to panic when a spelled latte helps me find my fated mates. But when my best friend rejects me, how can I trust the others to stick around? Especially when I’m about to lose my cafe and prove that my ex was right all along.

If you like quirky characters, panty-melting fated mates, wonky magic, and possessed furniture, you’ll love this laugh-out-loud paranormal romantic comedy with all the feels!

Nephrite is part of the Moonlit Falls universe and comes complete with a happily-ever-after. Scroll up to read this fun, quirky romance today.

Me reading Storm a few months ago: can't get any more bazaar than this

Nephrite: Hold my beer!

What a way to kick off Moonlit Falls. New series, New Town, Same fun vibes. I love the concept of Silver Springs having a sister town, full more supes finding mates, more wacky, laugh out loud moments. Both Eva and Mia always surprise me when it comes to their stories (in the best possible way). I literally could not stop laughing. They seriously need to co-author more often. Loved it so much!

Blurb:
An unusual girl. An enigmatic man. An ancient castle. What could go wrong?

An outcast her entire life, Corvina Clemm is left adrift after losing her mother. When she receives the admission letter from the mysterious University of Verenmore, she accepts it as a sign from the universe. The last thing she expects though is an olden, secluded castle on top of a mountain riddled with secrets, deceit, and death.

An enigma his entire life, Vad Deverell likes being a closed book but knowing exactly everything that happens in the university. A part-time professor working on his thesis, Vad has been around long enough to know the dangers the castle possesses. And he knows the moment his paths cross with Corvina, she's dangerous to everything that he is.

They shouldn't have caught each other's eye. They cannot be. But a chill-inducing century-old mystery forces them to collide. People have disappeared every five years for over a hundred years, and Corvina is getting clues to unraveling it all, and Vad needs to keep an eye on her.

And so begins a tale of the mystique, the morbid, the macabre, and a deep love that blossoms in the unlikeliest of places.

“I’m in your head, in your blood, in your very veins. I’ve claimed you before anything else ever could. Your body, your heart, your mind, your fucking soul, it’s all mine. Your hunger is mine to feed, your madness is mine to tame. Do you feel that?” *swoooooon* 😍

Age Gap
Gothic Romance
Forbidden-Teacher/Student
Steam and hot chemistry

This is the first book I've read by RuNyx, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It was a bit of a slow start but eventually picked up. When it did, twists, turns, suspense, steam, and mystery and I totally enjoyed this story. Definitely, I would love to read more from this author.

REVIEW: Bite the Bullet (Birch Police Department Book 3) by April Canavan

 

Bite the Bullet (Birch Police Department Book 3) by @authoraprilcanavan

Emma

You can do it.

The last words my brother ever said to me.

I’ve got one chance to prove him right.

And nothing is going to stop me.

Not even a tall, sexy cop, armed with a glare that melts panties.

Too bad I don’t have time to go to war with him.

Because I could think of a dozen different ways to bring him to his knees.

I can’t afford to pay the price of failure.

But the way he looks at me… Makes me want to break every promise I’ve ever made.


Dominic

She’s a goddamn menace.

I want her, but some lines shouldn’t be crossed.

Nothing she says will change that.

She’s on a mission, but so am I.

And she’s my target.

We both know she doesn’t stand a chance.

But while my eyes are on her… I can’t see the threat on the horizon.

There’s only one option, and I’ve got to bite the bullet to get it done.

Emma Hayes doesn’t know it yet, but she’s mine.


πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™REVIEWπŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™

Bite the Bullet is the third book of the Birch Police Department series. Honestly, I didn't know that this was apart of a series. So, if you're like me and just joining in, this is a standalone.  I am a total newbie to April Canavan's stories and I'm glad I found them. This was so easy to follow and very entertaining. The only thing I was struggling a bit was that it was a bit slower than what I'm used to, however,it was very steamy, with very likable characters and it just wanted you to root for them. I will definitely check out her previous books. This was such a fun series

REVIEW: The Enemy Trap: An Enemies to lovers Romance by Maren Moore


 

The Enemy Trap: An Enemies to lovers Romance by Maren Moore #NewRelease #NowAvaliable

https://www.amazon.com/Enemy-Trap-Enemies-lovers-Romance-ebook/dp/B08YPCXMBP/

Blurb:
Hayes Davis is America’s sweetheart, the #1 hockey player in the country, and my fake fiancΓ©.
Simple, right?
It would be, if my betrothed were anyone else.
But it turns out America’s sweetheart is arrogant, selfish, and a guy I have no intentions of letting break my heart again.
It was never supposed to happen.
But then one night changes everything.
Now, he’s not only my pretend fiancΓ© but my very real baby daddy.
How can two people who hate each other pull off the lie of a lifetime while figuring out how to raise a child together? Everything between us was supposed to be fake, but I’m not pretending anymore.

❤❤❤REVIEW ❤❤❤
Enemies-to-lovers
Fake fiancΓ©e
Accidental/surprise pregnancy
Forced Proximity
Sports Romance

This was a huge palette cleanser from all of the dark romance I've been reading lately. This totally had 90's/00's rom com movie feels, which I am a huge sucker for. Although, accidental pregnancy isn't one of my favorites, this was quite enjoyable. The characters were very likable and I loooved their interactions with each other. There was so much sexual tension. Ahhhh!! I do wish there was less of a time jump and more interaction during the pregnancy, but it was a quick, easy, enjoyable read.

How do you say goodbye to the one who holds your heart?
Payne Emerson should never have been behind the wheel, or on that stretch of road. It’s all my fault. The nightmare I feared most has come true and the boy I love is paying for my mistakes.
 
No matter how loud my screams or how deafening the sound of my heartbreak, he can’t hear me.
 
I am alone in this fight.
But I am fierce in my love.
And I will find out who did this.
 
My name is Sunday Grace Easton, and it’s time to make them regret the day they decided to take him from me.
 
Ruined Things is the fourth book in the suspense-filled Folkestone Sins series. While it is possible to be read along with the third book as a duet, to have the best reader experience it’s recommended to begin the series with book one, Fragile Things, where the characters and their world are introduced. As it is part of an ongoing series, this book does end on a cliffhanger.
This is a friends to lovers, angsty, mature new adult high school romance with a twist. It contains situations and flashbacks that may trigger some readers, including drug use, mental health issues, foul language, and scenes of a sexual nature.

Blue 42 (Hail Mary Duet Book 1) by C.A Rene

Blurb:

Life can be hard and it can be cruel. Thrusting single mothers into hardships and then leaving them to watch as their children struggle, only to fail.

I couldn’t become that statistic, I needed to push myself beyond my limits, and rip my family out of that mold. Forcing myself to be better, do better, and letting my body take the brunt of those efforts. All I could see was that endzone and what it would mean for my impoverished family.

Just when I think I’ve made it, thinking that all the blood, sweat, and tears were worth it, I’m slapped back into reality. No grass is greener, no matter where you are, and no amount of money makes you a good person.

Love is not kind and if it’s not conventional, it’s disregarded. Secrets born from shame and anger nurtured from hate, blend inside my heart.

How can love win when everyone wants it to fail?

πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™REVIEW πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™

Sebastian Avando, a Tight End veteran, and the unofficial "unwelcome committee" of the team. He was alpha dog of the team. I really, really wanted to hate him, especially after the brutality of what he did to our other H. His actions were completely inexcusable, but damn it, as the story went on, I really tried. 


Dixon North, a Wide Receiver rookie, with a bright future ahead of him. Unfortunately, he caught the attention of Sebastian and Sebastian decided he needed to be "put in his place." 


 "I want him to know as fucked up as we are and after everything that’s happened between us, he at least has me." 


Over time after the incident, they both were going into uncharted territory. Attraction sets in and they both are completely clueless about what's happening. EVERYTHING about this relationship is completely toxic. But, you can't help but want them to explore more. I feel so wrong lol.  Seriously, I can't even define what they are to each other enemies to lovers, rivals to lovers, f*ck buddies, maybe all three? 


As a football fan, I highly enjoyed this. It was very realistic and I couldn't stop laughing (and cheering) at the beginning where they were all booing at the NFL Commissioner. 


Seriously, Is there anything C.A Rene can't write??? She always seems to blow me away! This was such a raw, emotional roller coaster. I swear, you felt every emotion thrown your way. You are left with a crazy cliffhanger . Can't wait for more!!
