Fire burns the worst sins. Trust is overrated. Killing for pleasure is messy, bloody, chaotic…
He was supposed to die.
But now I have him where I want him, I can’t help but taste him a little.
All of them.
They’ve gotten under my skin. These Sacred Heart boys.
The way they look at me, a need, a hunger clawing inside, I recognize it in the mirror. It’s their eyes. They tell me they don’t give a fuck if they live or die. That I’m the prey and they’re the carnivores. That they’re soulless.
But in the end, they all beg. Violent, bloody, and raw. Because I’m the real monster.

She loves to write deliciously dark romance with wicked, twisty plots. Mallory currently lives in London with her bean-shaped dog and the rest of her non-furry family. When she’s not at her desk writing up a storm, she’s walking her overgrown cocker spaniel, or trying to learn how to cook, badly.
From USA Today and Amazon Bestselling Author Bella Matthews, comes a hot new hockey coach, single dad, marriage of convenience, small town romance.
A fake marriage with a single dad wasn’t on my dance card but there are worse ways to start the summer.
Our story didn’t begin the night I agreed to marry Deacon Kane to help him keep his daughter. It started ten years ago, with a hotshot hockey player I couldn’t wait to see each summer. He was big, broad, and filled out his board shorts so damn nicely. But holy hell… The memories of teenage Deacon don’t hold a candle to the man he is now, the one who makes me melt each time he says, “my wife.”
What was supposed to be a marriage of convenience quickly spirals into something else. Something I can’t control. Because this man makes me feel alive in a way I haven’t felt in months, and I want more.
More sparks. More life. More time.
Can a relationship based on lies last… Especially when I’m the one keeping all the secrets?

GAH!!! Bella writes some of the best heart-throbbing and panty-melting male characters in this series. Just when I absolutely love and want to devour her newest MMC, she writes another that is just as amazing and now I can’t choose. LOL However, with The Sweet Spot, it’s Brynlee who gave me girl crush vibes
The Sweet Spot is Brynlee and Deacon’s story. Like my other reviews in this series, I won’t tell you much of the story because I don’t want to give anything away.
Brynlee is the physical therapist for the hockey team and while she has this fierce personality, there is so much more to her underneath the surface. She and Deacon knew each other once upon a time and now by chance, they are in each other’s orbit again.
Deacon is a single dad trying to juggle a new job and co-parenting his daughter with his ex-wife. I love how Bella handled this and did not add the unnecessary drama in this situation. But this man won me over with this ability to be sweet with his daughter and then those same lips get dirty with Brynlee (holy hot!!).
The Sweet Spot is the perfect ending to this series.

A dark, contemporary, billionaire romance featuring anti-hero, secret society and close proximity tropes from USA Today Bestselling duo P. Rayne.
I spend my nights slinging drinks at Black Magic Bar or taking my clothes off at the local strip club. After my father passed, my stepmother gave me no other choice.
But when I break free of the chains binding me to my family estate, I find myself with nowhere to go. Until Nero Voss, the youngest of the billionaire Voss brothers, offers me a room at Midnight Manor. Now, I’m under his watchful gaze and enjoying it more than I should.
I shouldn’t give in to temptation, he is my stepsister’s ex-fiancé after all, but the pull toward him grows stronger by the day. I fight, but I’m losing the battle.
Nero is keeping secrets, though.
What he doesn’t know is that I’m keeping secrets, too.

Midnight Whispers is the third book in the Midnight Manor series. It’s a wonderful retelling of Cinderella and features Nero Voss. Even though each of these books can be read as a standalone, I HIGHLY encourage readers to start from the beginning to get the full experience of these four brothers.
Cinder is the perfect Match for Nero in so many ways. I loved how this story plays out; the pacing is perfect and how things unfold between these two suits their story well.
While this is listed as a dark romance, it’s definitely on the lighter side of dark. It has some light BDSM scenes and keeps things intriguing.
I love that each book in this series fits the brother and his mannerisms so well. P. Rayne delivers another excellent book in this series. I cannot wait for the final book, Sid’s story.
Meet P. Rayne

Genre: Contemporary Romance Standalone Trope: Best friend’s little sister, age-gap, forced proximity, summer fling to forever, small town
Synopsis
It was a simple promise—watch out for my best friend’s little sister the same way I would my own.
Turns out, Brenna is a lot more grown-up than I realized. And a lot more beautiful. Which makes sharing an apartment with her this summer tougher than I expected.
Until she shares something with me. Something she’s never shared with anyone. Something that makes me want to step in and help.
Something that changes everything.
Soon enough, my wanting to be with her has nothing to do with that promise I made and everything to do with the undeniable spark between us.
It doesn’t matter that I’m more than a decade older than she is. Or what our small town thinks.
But Brenna’s time in Hickory Hills is limited, making everything more complicated.
The more time I spend with Brenna, the harder it is to stay apart. The more I want to convince her to stay.
I already broke my promise to her brother. But I will keep my promise to her.
Milo smiles softly at me and I relax, reminding myself who this is. Who we are.
Roommates. Almost siblings. Who cares if he accidentally saw me naked and masturbating and now knows my deepest secret?
“Hi. Whatcha making?”
“Just mac ’n cheese.”
Just mac ’n cheese? Is this man crazy?
I drop my bag, kicking off my shoes and placing them at the mat by the door. Inhaling deeply, I walk into the kitchen, examining the baking dish sitting on top of the stove. Sure enough, this is the real deal. Multiple cheeses melted into and mixed in with a roux, before folded over pasta and topped with breadcrumbs. A quick glance down at the counter reveals a loaf of bread and food processer, meaning these breadcrumbs are real, not store-bought. Fuck, yes.
“Milo, there is nothing just about mac ’n cheese. Especially real deal mac ’n cheese. I know you know it’s my fave. Especially if that’s Hayes mac ’n cheese.”
He laughs, the deep vibrato making my insides feel just as gooey as that cheese. “It is.”
Fuck, I have died and gone to heaven. Hayes mac ’n cheese, made by a sexy-as-sin Hayes man? Yeah…I’m done for.
“It was your first day at your first big girl job. I figured that was worth celebrating.” He gives me a wink, turning away from me to put the dish in the oven.
My first big girl job? Well then, if Milo’s going to talk to me the same way he and Brandt did when they took the training wheels off my bike, then I’d say seeing me naked is irrelevant. Thank goodness.
“Seriously? Thank you. You didn’t have to do that. I’m sure you had better things to do with your afternoon.”
Milo shrugs his tattooed left shoulder, stepping into me, winking again. My insides melt a little more. This is dangerous.
“I wanted to. You deserve it.”
I sigh, my heart grateful for not only the gesture, but how much he cares. I’m lucky to have him in my life.
“Also, I was thinking.”
“Uh-oh, that’s dangerous,” I quip.
Milo chuckles, stepping in closer, the gap between us now no more than a foot. My pulse kicks into high gear, his musky scent filling my nostrils. I don’t know if that’s his cologne or deodorant or some soap, but damn, he smells good. So good it might fry my brain.
“Whatcha doin’ Friday?”
Friday? Ummmm…
“Errr…ahhh…studying?” I hope that’s the right answer.
“Take a night off.”
“Any particular reason?”
A list of possible answers rushes through my mind. The most likely is that he needs my help again at Pour Decisions. Which, if that’s what he needs, he can consider it done. I’m not only happy to help, but it’s the least I can do since I’m squatting in his apartment all summer.
“I’m taking you out.”
Record scratch—he’s what?
Milo must see the confusion register on my face, because he steps into me even more, this time, taking my hand.
“Let me start over. Brenna, would you like to go out with me on Friday?”
“Like a date?”
Like a date? Oh good gracious, who asks that? Like a date. Of course it’s not a date.
“Yes, like a date.”
I stand corrected.
“You want to take me on a date?” My voice squeaks, betraying me and my excitement.
Milo Hayes wants to take me on a date. Well, dear diary, your preteen fantasies are coming true.
“I was thinking about what you said yesterday—”
“Ugh, could we not?”
“No, we’re gonna. I hate to see you upset, always have. Yesterday was no exception. And I can’t fix everything in this world, but this, this I can. No, not fix. Because you don’t need fixing, Brenna. Change, that’s a better word. This I can change.”
“Milo, you don’t have to do this.”
“Bren,” he whispers, squeezing my hand. “This isn’t about have to, this is about want to. I want to take you. I want to show you what it’s like to experience a second date. And in order for there to be a second, there has to be a first. So, what d’ya say? Go out with me Friday night?”
My heart soars. Milo Hayes wants to take me on a date. How does a girl say no to that?
She doesn’t. That’s how.
I let my smile loose, a giggle escaping with it. I can’t help it. Because I’m giddy.
“I’d love to.”
“Good.”
He squeezes my hand again, keeping the small gap between us. Looking down at me, his blue eyes sparkle, upping my giddiness.
“Can I ask where we’re going?”
“You can ask.” He smirks. “But I’m not gonna tell you. It’s a surprise.”
Oh boy…
His smirk grows and he starts to lean in. My whole body is on high alert, calling out to the universe, trying to manifest something out of thin air. It’s not too much to also want a kiss, right? I mean, I did just get asked out.
Milo continues to lean, and I’m starting to think the universe might be listening to me.

🏒 Hockey 🏅 Coach’s Daughter 📝 Boss/Assistant 🏠 Roomies-to-Lovers 🔟 Age Gap 🔥 They Fight Fire with Fire 🛏 Forced Proximity 🚫 Forbidden 💙 He Falls First
About SO THIS IS WAR (Coming 6/25/2024):
Did I think I was going to fall for my coach’s daughter?
The answer would be no.
I’m still unclear on how I got into this predicament in the first place. A year ago, I was a man with one thought on his mind, the redhead I met at a hotel bar. Twelve months later, I found her.
Unfortunately for me, she not only happens to be my very off-limits coach’s daughter, but also . . . my new assistant and roommate.
I don’t even need an assistant, but Coach Wood doesn’t take no for an answer. Add in him writing up tasks for his daughter, Wylie, to complete for me? Well, it’s his own form of sweet torture. We are talking tasks that I would never ask her to do.
Tasks that make her despise me.
Hate me.
That make her utter four words that cause a shiver to crawl up my spine . . . Posey, this is war.
My testicles shrivel into dust as Coach Wood screams at Andie Lintour, the general manager for the Vancouver Agitators.
Spittle flies off his lip.
Eyebrows are slanted like knives, ready to strike.
And the veins in his neck protrude, making me question if it will be his hands that choke me or the scary, pulsing veins.
“Will, we can’t—”
“He was fucking my daughter! We can do whatever the hell I say.”
Did you wince? Because I did.
I know what you’re thinking. Posey, you’re about to lose your life at the hands of your fuming, spitting, hulking-out coach. And your assessment of the situation is a fair and accurate one.
Because yes, I’ve never felt closer to death than at this moment right now.
To bring you up to speed, yes, I was fucking his daughter.
Yes, it was in the locker room.
Yes, it was out in the open where anyone could walk in.
Was it stupid? Absolutely.
Have I lost my mind? One hundred percent.
Do I have any defense? Not one.
Nope, this was pure stupidity. This was a move by a desperate man brought to his knees.
A weak man.
A man with no morals.
A man infatuated with a woman he can’t control himself around.
“I understand the circumstances,” Andie says in her calming voice, “but we can’t get rid of a player because he was having relations with your daughter. Posey is one of the best defensemen in the entire league.” If I wasn’t so terrified, I’d puff my chest. “He’s under a no-trade clause. Even if we wanted to get rid of him, we couldn’t.”
I’m not sure if I should be grateful for that clause because, at the moment, it wouldn’t hurt to at least escape the darkness of death clouding Coach Wood’s expression.
“Then he’s benched,” Wood says as he looks me in the eyes, nostrils flaring. “Did you hear that, you bologna-loving motherfucker? You’re benched.”
I swallow deeply as I dig my fingertips into the armrests of my chair. Not sure why he had to drag the bologna into this, but I don’t bother asking as the vein in his bald head looks like it’s maxed out on stress. “I, uh, yes, I heard you the first time,” I say, causing him to grow angrier.
“Once again, Will, I don’t believe we can do that. We pay him a lot of money—”
“We do.” Will paces his office, and every time he goes near me, my ass clenches in anticipation of a ninja knife hand right to my trachea. “We pay him plenty of money, so why don’t we just put him on the injured list, say he has a sore toe, and then he can figure out with his agent what he’s doing for next year because he sure as fuck won’t be playing on my ice.”
Now, is Coach Wood being a touch extreme? Some might say yes without any context because who really wants to bench their starting defenseman? It’s not the smartest move as a coach, but the man has a good reason.
And sure, I shouldn’t be taking his side. I should be defending myself and the ability to have sexual relations with anyone I damn well please, but here’s the thing . . . the situation runs a little deeper than what you see on the surface.
It’s more complicated.
I didn’t just fuck some random girl on an arbitrary day in our locker room.
The coach’s daughter was riding me, completely naked, in the middle of the locker room after he struck a deal with me to hire his daughter as my assistant to teach her a lesson.
And before you even ask, no, the lesson was not on the science of how the penis meets the vagina.
It was a tough lesson about life.
So yeah, this really is on me.
**Raises hand** Yup, I take the blame.
Guilty.
The only question is, how the hell am I going to get around this? From the way he spoke so cruelly of my precious bologna, I don’t think offering him a daily sandwich—made by yours truly—is going to mend the severed ties we’ve created.
Nope, this will take a monumental, epic proposal of apologies, especially if I want to stay on this team. Which I do. My boys are here. My life is here.
She’s here . . .
Which means I need a plan.
But I swore I wouldn’t get them involved.
I said over and over again that I wouldn’t use their idiotic advice or poorly constructed ideas, but I think desperate times call for desperate measures.
It’s time to call on the Frozen Fellas.

Welcome back R.K. Lilley!! I chose to skip her release last year, so it’s been a good 5 years since I have read her. Wings of Dusk is very different from her other books and this just proves she’s able to write in other genres.
I love fantasy reads and this one is different from others that I have read, but not in a bad way. It’s very fast paced and the world building isn’t as detailed and overly descriptive as most fantasy reads, but the way R.K. details everything, you can still easily visualize so much.
Wings of Dusk is told completely from Venefica’s POV, giving readers insight into her world and how everything works. Her guardian is Battle and he has his own rules to follow; they both do really.
R.K. delivers this story at the perfect pace (fast for fantasy) and she lays the groundwork for what is come perfectly. She leaves these little bread crumbs that has you gobbling them up and wanting more.
This story ends on a cliffy that has me desperately wanting the next book immediately. I highly recommend this to anyone, even those who normally don’t read fantasy. I will find it hard for any romance reader not enjoy this one.

I’m an unemployed songwriter he hired to watch his son and teach music. We coexist without any issues until a vacation changes everything.

B.B. Reid has revealed the gorgeous covers for The Chrysalis of Aurelia George!
Releasing: July 18, 2024
From bestselling author B.B. Reid comes a wicked retelling of your favorite fairytale.
America’s sweetheart has been canceled.
From teen star to international phenom to the biggest celebrity in the world, Aurelia George has suddenly found herself on the other side of adoration. The public thinks they hate her when they never really knew her. The saddest tragedy of all is that she doesn’t know herself.
Done with the fame, glitz, and glam—the whole doe-eyed princess charade—Aurelia decides she’s taking back her life, even if it costs her everything.
But her uncle has other plans.
Shipped far away until the heat dies, Aurelia finds herself in the one place where her name means nothing. When a blizzard causes her plane to crash, she becomes stranded in the wilds of Northern Canada, a sole survivor with no one to turn to.
No one except them.
The misanthropic mountain men who’ve shut themselves away.
It’s their cabin Aurelia finds in the icy wilderness and their obsession she ignites when they discover her sleeping in one of their beds. Thorin, Khalil, and Ezekiel (and all of his personalities) have only longed for one thing in nine long years…a woman to warm their beds.
Surviving a plane crash, wolves, avalanches, frozen lakes, and a harsh winter with three feral men is nothing compared to Aurelia’s hardest trial of all—finding herself.
The Chrysalis of Aurelia George is a dark, contemporary romance. Please refer to the trigger warnings before reading.
B.B. Reid is the author of several novels including the hit enemies-to-lovers, Fear Me. She grew up the only daughter and middle child in a small town in North Carolina.

A forbidden, Formula 1 romance from New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg.
You don’t mess around with a teammate’s ex. Ever. But that’s easier said than done when it comes to Blair Carmichael. She’s sexy, intelligent, gorgeous, and one hundred percent off-limits.
And I’ve never fallen harder.
But I can’t touch (when I most definitely want to).
My team’s success and my chance at a new contract for next season depend on me keeping my hands on the wheel. And off her curves.
As the season progresses, we secretly steal as much time as we can together—in hotel rooms, after races, anywhere we can’t be found out. A real romance out in the open would risk her job in the industry, her reputation, and my image–not to mention my strained relationship with my teammate.
I’ve lived my whole life with one mantra. Team first. What I want outside of my racing career hasn’t factored in.
Until now.
Until Blair.
She deserves the world and I plan on giving it to her. Even if I have to walk away from the biggest contract of my career.
New York Times Bestselling author K. Bromberg writes contemporary romance novels that contain a mixture of sweet, emotional, a whole lot of sexy, and a little bit of real. She likes to write strong heroines and damaged heroes who we love to hate but can’t help to love.
