*Austin Blurb*

Austin is working a dead-end job, left with no place to go and living out of his car. His family left him with nothing but the clothes on his back and the broken-down car he’s living in, but his fate changes one day when a beautiful blue-eyed girl walks into his job and demands that he listen to her and then the secrets of his family’s past begin to unwind.


Haley moved from her world to live on her own, away from others of her kind. She left to be protected from the deadly secrets her life held, but what she wasn’t expecting was for the voices she hears to lead her right back into the depths of her past or meeting a gorgeous man destiny says is hers.


Will Austin and Haley be able to fight through the secrets and danger that are trying to tear them apart? Was fate really right in bringing them together—or is their love too tainted to flourish in the darkness of their destinies?

Revenge. Sweet, sweet revenge. They say karma comes back to those who have done wrong and my goodness, that karma's name is Aurora. She was a woman on a mission and I swear, I had no clue what to expect from this story. I devoured this entire book in one day. Rector, Bishop and Deacon have NO idea who the hell they messed with. I am soooo waiting for book 2!!

The 12 Hunks of Herculeia: A Monstrously Mythic Romance Part 1 by C. Rochelle


 The 12 Hunks of Herculeia: A Monstrously Mythic Romance Part 1 by C. Rochelle 



Blurb: 

I thought I was living the dream—until the fateful day I found my boyfriend in bed with my boss. As a professional copywriter, it was the tired cliche that hurt me the most.

What’s a big city girl to do but pack my bags and go solo on that Grecian cruise I’d booked with my ex? Who needs a man when you have tropical breezes, stunning vistas, and free cocktails with frilly umbrellas?

But thanks to a freak storm, I find myself washed ashore on a mysterious Greek Isle inhabited by 12 hotties determined to help me in any way they can.

What in the rom-com setup is this?

Somehow, I’ve ended up inside a famous Greek myth, tasked with conquering the very men I find myself unable to resist—despite their fur, fangs, tentacles, extra appendages, and extremely large…secrets of their own.

Danger lurks around every crumbling ancient ruin, but the longer I stay, the more I wonder if I want to return to my old life at all.

Here, I get to be the heroine of my own story, and it might just be time to rewrite history.


Please note: This is book 1 in a duet and is slow-build (I should hope so, for our girl’s sake… and her cat’s…)

The 12 Hunks of Herculeia is a medium-dark rom-com loosely based on the 12 Labors of Heracles, with many ridiculous liberties taken. And before my fellow history nerds get their togas in a bunch, I am aware that Hercules/Herculeia is the Roman spelling (it gets addressed in the book, trust.)

This book is meant for readers 18 and over.

This series includes:
MM (loads of it - with their own relationship arcs)
Multiple POV
Cliffies

Possible triggers:
Sweary dialogue
Naughty irreverent humor
An overly possessive, slightly unhinged group of men
Very spicy extracurricular activities (please see inside book for more details)
Light threat of violence with a knife
Trauma related to past death in the family, a bad breakup, and a magical shipwreck
Signature weirdness and medium-dark elements
Greek myths with many ridiculous liberties taken

In general, please do not read this if you own pearls to clutch, or if you regularly ask to speak to the manager, as you and I will probably not get along.

πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›REVIEWπŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›

First of all, everytime I think C. Rochelle's books can't get any better, they so do!!! I don't know why this shocks me, she is a fantastic author. This is part 1 in the Monstrously Mythic duet. It is also loosely based on the Greek mytho, 12 Labors of Hercules but C. Rochelle COMPLETELY made it her own. I swear this was such a fun, steamy, comedic ride. I swear, the world building was phenomenal! Soooo, soooo good. Can't wait for Part 2!!

Rebels & Rejects: Black Creek 1 by R.A. Smyth


 Rebels & Rejects: Black Creek 1 by R.A. Smyth 




Blurb: 
I work in the darkness that is Black Creek.
If there’s a secret to uncover, a package to deliver, or a story to be told, I’m your girl. I'll do whatever it takes to provide for my little brother.

Once upon a time, The Feral Beasts ruled Black Creek with an iron fist, but they’re long gone now. The Antonelli family stepped in, only caring about their family and their money.
I’ve heard the whispers…The Reaper Rejects are growing and they want control of Black Creek. But this town isn’t big enough for the both of them.

It's just been me and Luc for a long time, so when the leaders of the Rejects ask for my help, I'm reluctant. Trouble follows gang life and I shouldn’t want to get involved, but Oliver knows just how to tempt me and the pain in Cain’s eyes calls to my need for vengeance.
Blood will be shed, lives will be lost, retribution will be dealt.

A war is coming and this town has never been more deadly.

***This book is a dark, contemporary romance with one strong FMC and multiple love interests. It is book one in a series and contains trigger warnings for violence scenes and mature, graphic content. Please see the front of the book for more specific triggers.

❤❤❤REVIEW ❤❤❤




I have to admit, I'm just joining in on this spin-off of the Pacific Prep series (I know, I need to catch up). But OMFG, this literally started off with a bang. It was real easy to follow and the world building and character development is incredible. Sawyer is such a bad@ss! She is feisty, smart, and definitely someone that I would never want to meet in a dark alley. However, she does have a sense of maternal instinct when it comes to her brother. She tries to keep him from going down the road she's at. I literally couldn't put this down! OMG! That cliffy!!! Definitely, need more!!

Black Beth: Vengeance Be Thy Name by Alec Worley Artist: DaNi & Blas Gallego


 Black Beth: Vengeance Be Thy Name by Alec Worley

Artist: DaNi & Blas Gallego

Releases June 7th, 2022



Blurb:
Brand new stand-alone fantasy graphic novel of visionary sword and sorcery from Batman artist Dani

A warrior with a name born of the black rage that filled her heart!

In a world of swords and sorcery, the evil tyrant Rassau discovers that he is destined to be killed by a fearsome warrior called Beth. Together with his men, Rassau seeks Beth out, destroying her village and killing all held dear to her. With the aid of a former warrior - the blind Quido - Beth becomes a skilled fighter and sworn enemy of all that is evil! She will not rest until her people are avenged!

 This book contains both the original strip and the brilliantly resurrected stories that have been masterfully guided by writer Alec Worley and DC Comic's newest star, the astonishing Greek artist, DaNi!

❤❤❤REVIEW❤❤❤

"They shall know me by the name that I adopt! By which I swear to combat evil in all it's vile forms...A name born of the black rage that fills my heart..."

Black Beth: Vengeance Be Thy Name is my very first graphic novel that I have ever reviewed. This is my first time learning about the Black Beth comic lore. I know she made an appearance in "1988 Scream! Holiday Special, but that's pretty much it   She is such a bad@ss. Think if Lady Sif, Elektra, Red Sonja, and Xena were combined, you would get Black Beth. Personally, this was a little fast paced and felt rushed for me. I would have loved to see her train and learn more instead of instantly gaining the strength and warrior knowledge. However, It was beautifully designed/drawn and her story was incredible.  Overall, it was a fun, quick graphic novel and easy to follow. I highly recommend this to those who enjoy strong bad@ss FMCs, swords, and sorcery!

REVIEW: Red Zone (Hail Mary Duet Book 2) By C.A.Rene


 Red Zone (Hail Mary Duet Book 2) By @C.A.Rene



Available Now on all platforms: https://books2read.com/Red-Zon...


🏈 🏈🏈


Blurb:


Life can be fickle and it can be rough.


One minute you’re riding the high of an impossible win and the next your hands are wrapped around the bars of a cell.


No matter your life’s accomplishments, once you hit rock bottom, you’re forgotten. If you’re no longer useful, you’re discarded.


I ran my body and mind into the ground, pushed myself to greatness, and all for a game I would ultimately lose.


What happens when you finally face your fears and jump into the abyss, only to find out you’re completely alone?


The one person you’ve come to depend on disappears and your heart longs for the hunger only he can satisfy. There are no right answers and time doesn’t heal all wounds.


How can love survive if it’s surrounded by hate?


🏈🏈🏈



❤❤❤REVIEW❤❤❤

"Dixon North is my f*cking vice, a drug I won’t ever see the bottom of."


Red Zone is the second and final book in the Hail Mary duet. This cannot be read as a standalone. It immediately starts off three months after the events of Blue 42 took place.


This was another emotionally raw, roller coaster ride. The drama, the fight, the immense s*xual tension & chemistry, the suspense, literally everything, sucks you right in. From the first book, I've said they had such a toxic relationship, but you literally can't help but to root for them. I definitely recommend this duet for those who enjoy an amazing Dark MM, Enemies to lovers, Sports Romance

REVIEW: The Scorecard: A Brother's Best Friend Hockey Romance (Totally Pucked Book 3) by AMaren Moore


 The Scorecard: A Brother's Best Friend Hockey Romance (Totally Pucked Book 3) by Author Maren Moore 



Blurb:
Pretending to be married to my brother’s best friend and my biggest enemy is the last thing I imagined I’d be doing.

But there was a thin line between lust and hate, and when I fell into bed with the NHL’s rookie playboy, I found out just how easy that line got blurred.

We were enemies with benefits, but then two pink lines changed itall.

Now he was bringing me back home to his family’s farm and faking it became real… in moreways than one.

He was meant to be the enemy but falling for him meant letting him win.

The Scorecard
Graham: 1
Me: 0

**The Scorecard is book 1 of the duet and is approximately 60,000 words. This book does end on a cliffhanger."




πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™REVIEW πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™
πŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸ’«/5

Emery just passed her bar exam and it was time to celebrate. After one drunken night and one dumb "scorecard" later,  Graham is determined to make her realize that he should be at the top of the list.

We are back with book 3 of the Totally Pucked series. Move over Daddy Briggs, I found a new DILF, Daddy Graham. To think this series couldn't get any better, it has. This has to be my favorite one out of this whole series! Annnnd by that ending, we are not getting one book of Daddy Graham's story, but a duet. I'm stoked!!
