Blurb:

Falling in love with my brother’s teammate, the very last guy on my scorecard, was the one thing I never expected to happen.

Well, falling in love… period.

But it happened. I fell for the NHL’s rookie playboy, and together we brought our beautiful baby girls into the world.

And while our story started as a fake engagement, it turned into the most real thing I’d ever experienced.

Until everything changed in the blink of an eye, and now I have to choose between my head and my heart.

The emotional, heartfelt conclusion to Graham and Emery’s story.

This is book 2 in the Scoring to Win duet. It cannot be read as a standalone

💙💙💙REVIEW 💙💙💙

The Final Score is book #4 in the "Totally Pucked" series AND the conclusion to Graham and Emery's duet. THIS CANNOT BE READ AS A STANDALONE. OMG!! They are literally my favorite couple!! This was the most emotionally gripping, realistic, super steamy, and all around heart warming book in this entire series. I swear, I love Graham so much. One moment, he's prince charming and has you swooning over him, the next moment, he makes your panties melt with all of the dirty talk that makes you see stars. I had to take pauses because I was 🥵. I'm so glad they overcame their obstacles and finally reached their HEA. Can't wait for Archer's story next!!!

Blurb:

Happy never, ever.

Hate is said to be disturbingly similar to love.

When it comes to him, I’m cursed to harbor both.

The specious spark that brought us together with an all-consuming obsession quickly became the catalyst of my undoing.

Shadows and darkness have filled the bittersweet years that saw us take two very different paths.

Judas Barron has become an intimate stranger.

He’s older now. Unpredictable. Heartlessly cruel.

So much more beautiful.

He isn’t the only one who changed.

The girl he once knew is gone, rotting beneath the wreckage of what he destroyed.

His influence and power have spread like the plague. With his position solidified he’s decided to make good on a promise he made and like the strike of a match, a hellish blaze consumes us once again.

This time, it's up to me to decide how this will end.

I can reign beside him, or make sure his dynasty is scattered among the ashes of our ruin.

💜💜💜REVIEW 💜💜💜

“You aren’t a pawn, Rhiannon. You’re my queen. Sooner than later, you’ll learn exactly what that means.” Aahhhh!!!

Vicious Dynasty is the third and final book in the Reign & Ruin trilogy. I'm not going to lie, I was totally simping over Judas (even more) in this one. Of course there was the mürder, tørture, and everything my dark heart craves but his realization that he NEEDED her and was willing to unalive those who DARED to harm her...just ahhhh! I have said this before and I'll say this again, these two are extremely toxic. However, you can't help but to ship it! Even though, this is the ending of this trilogy and Juda and Rhia's story, I'm excited that there's gonna be more from this universe.

Blurb:

She was the face that launched a thousand ships, the fierce beauty at the heart of Olympus...and she was never ours to claim.

*A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Helen of Troy, Achilles, and Patroclus that's as sinful as it is sweet.*

In Olympus, you either have the power to rule...or you are ruled. Achilles Kallis may have been born with nothing, but as a child he vowed he would claw his way into the poisonous city's inner circle. Now that a coveted role has opened to anyone with the strength to claim it, he and his partner, Patroclus Fotos, plan to compete and double their odds of winning.

Neither expect infamous beauty Helen Kasios to be part of the prize...or for the complicated fire that burns the moment she looks their way.

Zeus may have decided Helen is his to give to away, but she has her own plans. She enters into the competition as a middle finger to the meddling Thirteen rulers, effectively vying for her own hand in marriage. Unfortunately, there are those who would rather see her dead than lead the city. The only people she can trust are the ones she can't keep her hands off—Achilles and Patroclus. But can she really believe they have her best interests at heart when every stolen kiss is a battlefield?

Sooo, where should I begin???

Wicked Beauty is the third book in the Dark Olympus series. This is This was steamy, delicious, beautifully written, modernization of Helen of Troy, Achilles, & Patroclus. I have to admit, that this is my first book in this series. I came into this blind and not knowing what to expect. I was literally hooked from the very beginning. The only Katee Roberts book I've read was "A Worthy Opponent" and that was on the "Chapters Interactive Stories" App and I totally adored the condensed version. Actually, reading her book was literally on a whole new level. Fantastic world-building and wonderful character development. Let me tell you, there were some HOT, FIERY steam and tension that was completely undeniable. DEFINITELY going to TBR the whole series and check out her complete library. I think I found a new favorite author!!!

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.

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 

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09PH4VRTQ

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.

💛💛💛REVIEW💛💛💛

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 

https://www.amazon.com/Rebels-Rejects-Black-R-Smyth-ebook/dp/B091HG99RD/

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!!
