Lily Archer came to Italy to save her marriage.
She never expected to lose herself instead.

When she looks up from her lonely glass of wine, she meets eyes that see too much. Eyes that tempt her with everything it seems her husband has long since forgotten.

One drink. One nod. That’s all it took toย unravelย everything.

Now she’s captive to a stranger who whispers promises in the dark. Promises she should fear, yet her body betrays her by craving every sinful touch. But what terrifies her the most aren’t the restraints, it’s how her terror turns into temptation until she can no longer tell where one ends and the other begins.

Lily must decide if this night will destroy her or awaken something she can never bury again.

This was quite the unexpected dark romance from Kristy.

I am used to her mostly contemporary stories, so this was nice, unexpected change for me from her.

Have I read darker? Yes. Have most people who read Bromberg be ok with this one – that cannot be assumed, so please heed the trigger warnings.

This is seductive, dark novella and moves at the perfect pace. There is a nice twist in this one that was unexpected and made the book more enjoyable.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Almost Rotten by Abby Millsaps

Almost Rotten by Abby Millsaps is now live! 

Delusions spiral toward disaster in Almost Rotten, the second book in the new dark, why choose, college hockey romance series from bestselling author Abby Millsaps.

He called me his wife.

My brotherโ€™s best friend and star hockey defenseman Tytus Tremblay stood in front of the Dean, declared weโ€™re married, and bullied the man into bending to his will.

To Tyโ€™s credit, it worked. My job is safe. The Dean has no idea who else was in the video with me.

But as the reality of the situation sinks in, I realize just how instrumental Tytus was in orchestrating this nightmare.

Heโ€™s delusional.

Tytus and I arenโ€™t married, even though I used to dream about a future with him. That was before I met Mercer and Noah and allowed myself to fall for two older men.

Embarrassingly, when weโ€™re locked away in my dorm, I give in to Tyโ€™s delusions. I canโ€™t help but push the limits, catapulting us toward his fantasies.

Now Iโ€™m torn between three men, so agonizingly confused I feel myself starting to slip away.

When Ty casually calls me his wife in front of his professional hockey team, I break.

I canโ€™t go on like this. I canโ€™t keep playing this game.

Every version of the future I dreamed of is slipping between my fingers. Irrevocable damage has been done, and Iโ€™m afraid nothing will ever be the same again.

I was not prepared for this one. I thought I was – but I was wrong.

I don’t even know what to say.

This book starts off exactly where book one ended and it just takes off from there.

This book we get to know Ty so much more, but we also get to know Mercer and Noah a bit more too. But this book is absolutely Ty’s. Mercer – oh hello!! That man is WOW. And Noah, his past has him acting a certain way, but he redeems himself.

Yea – that’s all I am saying.

Oh, and that cliffhanger!! GAH!!

Release Day Blitz…My Dark Ever After by Giana Darling

My Dark Ever After by Giana Darling is now live!

Wrapping up this daring duet, bestselling author Giana Darling takes readers back to Tuscany for another tantalizing mafia romance, where dark players and passions collide to reveal explosive secrets.

Guinevere

My trip to Italy shattered my dreams. I just wanted to connect with our familyโ€™s roots, but that meant defying my fatherโ€™s wishes. I was looking for truth and goodness. All I found was darkness and deceit. And one man who embodies it all: the capo dei capi, Raffaele Romano.

Raffaele saved my lifeโ€”then stole my trust. But my broken heart still pulses for him. When his enemies follow me home to Michigan, I realize Iโ€™ll never be free of him. Now Iโ€™m right back where it started.

Raffaele

I will do anything to keep Guinevere safe, even abduct her back to Italy and earn her hatred forever. I know the villain never gets the girl. But as ghosts from our familiesโ€™ pasts arise to haunt us, I decide there is only one thing worth fighting for: a dark ever after with my brave, beautiful American girl. And I will raze everything else to the ground to get it.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Betrayed In The Dark by Ashley Elizabeth

Betrayed in the Dark by Ashley Elizabeth is now live!

Betrayed.

With one letter, that’s what he did to me,

irrevocably splitting my heart down the middle,

causing everything we once shared in secret to become nothing more than a distant memory.

One I try desperately to forget.

So, imagine my shock when my brothers stood before me

to tell me who my new bodyguard would be while I fought back tears,

pretending my heart had never belonged to him.

And only him.

Especially since another man’s ring now rests on my finger.

Yet, every moment spent in his presence makes it harder to stay away.

Every secret embrace makes it nearly impossible to remember why I should hate him.

Even though I never could.

But as lines get crossed and feelings threaten to unravel everything,

there’s one thing I must remind myself:

This wedding is happening,

whether I want it to or not.

There’s just one problem.

The same man who is doing everything in his power to stop me from walking down the aisle

is the one I’m ultimately doing it all for:

Eli Lyon.

 Description automatically generated

I really don’t know how to put this book into words.

You can read this one as a standalone – personally, I think part of the draw to Eli and Maddy is not knowing their connection from the previous book. But if you read the previous book, then parts of the mystery behind their interactions are already known.

I really enjoyed the flow and pacing of this story. The letters between them are placed perfectly within the story and help readers learn about their history and how they came to be where they are today.

This is a thrilling romantic, mafia suspense story. It’s a great way for people to dip their toes into the darker-ish parts of the romance world without getting turned off completely from dark romance.

Loved this one! Can’t wait for the next book in this series!!

Release Day Blitz & Review…Unveil by Greer Rivers

Unveil by Greer Rivers is now live!

A dark Swan Lake retelling where the โ€˜villainโ€™ steals the girl, set in a world of secret pacts, feuding families, and primal obsession.

Heโ€™s her curse, but sheโ€™s his salvation, and heโ€™ll do anything to keep the ones he loves safe.

Rebellious ballerina Luna Bordeaux may be the darling of the New Orleans elite, but sheโ€™s destined to dance in her parentsโ€™ shadows. Her twenty-second birthday was supposed to be her escape. One last performance, one necessary breakup, then? Freedom.

Except her white knight of a boyfriend just proposed on stage.

And now her masked stalker has crashed the engagement partyโ€ฆ

Orion Fury has protected Luna for years, counting the seconds until he can claim his future wife, honoring a vow made between their fathers decades ago. His discipline has only ever slipped once, but his enemy just crossed the line. All bets are off, and a night that began with a party ends in kidnapping and murder.

Now Luna is a stolen bride with blood on her slippers and a target on her back, trapped in the wilderness with the man who hunted her. But Orion isnโ€™t the only predator in these woods, and the men coming for her will do anything to stop the Fury-Bordeaux alliance.

Her villain may be the one person sheโ€™s determined to hate, but is he the only one dangerous enough to keep her alive?

Tropes:
Arranged marriage
Masked stalker
Primal play
Touch her and die
Hidden identity
Stolen bride
Villain gets the girl

Unveil is Book 1 of the Frayed Satin Series, a Tattered Curtain second-generation legacy series of interconnected standalones reimagining classic ballets with dark and twisty HEAs. Each series can be enjoyed separately. TWs will be available in the front of the book.

Unveil does not disappoint at all!

I was hooked from the start with the mystery and suspense behind this story.

You definitely do not need to read the series this is a spin-off from (I only read one of those books) but there is alot of family involved in this story – but they need to be in order for the whole story to work. However, there isn’t an overload of information that takes away from the story. It’s just alot to take in, so tread lightly.

I love Luna – she is very carefree and ready to break free from the “chains” she’s been held down by. I adored Orion and his overly protective personality – he was the perfect match for Luna. But there is so much more to these two. The growth, the respect, the chemistry – LOVE IT ALL!

Greer writes a phenomenal story line that kept me glued to the pages from start to finish. The angst, the suspense, the spice but also some hard issues that were handled perfectly.

A great start to her new series, where each book ends in an HEA.

Cover Reveal…Loving The Tormentor by Lola King

Lola King has revealed the cover for Loving The Tormentor!

Releasing: December 4, 2025

She dreams of being noticed by her idol. He needs a muse to torment.

Once a decade, my broken hometown spits out a good girl.

Everyone always made sure to point out that it’s me. The violinist who doesnโ€™t belong. The girl mocked for dreaming too big, for believing I can escape the gangs, the debts, and the crimes of the North Shore.

All I want is one thing: a spot at Silver Falls University, where they house the most elite music school in the country. The place where my idol studies.

Achilles Duval is a legend. A genius. A man whose music could break your heart before he ever touched your body. Iโ€™ve followed him for years, obsessed with the chance of one day having him hear me play. His notorious arrogance means nothing when I dream of him noticing me.

And he does notice me.

But not in the way I hoped.

Because Achilles isnโ€™t just brilliant. Heโ€™s dangerous. Untouchable. A man born with power, privilege, and no limits. His reputation barely scratches the surface of what he really is.

Heโ€™s not an idol. Heโ€™s a monster.

And once Achilles Duval sets his eyes on you, thereโ€™s no walking away unscathed.

They say never meet your heroes.

They should have warned me about Achilles.

Release Day Blitz & Review…He Knows When You’re Awake by Alta Hensley

He Knows When You’re Awake by Alta Hensley is now live!

This Christmas, itโ€™s all about getting what you really want in this dark billionaire stalker romance sequel to He Sees You When Youโ€™re Sleeping.

Stalking in a winter wonderland…

Jewelry designer Sloane dreams of launching her own custom lineโ€”but she needs a Christmas miracle to pull it off. With traditional banks turning her down left and right, she canโ€™t resist when a mysterious stranger offers her a lifeline.

I see what she creates in those stolen moments when she thinks no oneโ€™s watching. I see everything. There’s a darkness at her core and I will unravel her until I find it.

Reclusive billionaire Cole Asher offers to fly Sloane out to an ultra-luxurious Swiss resort for a meeting. Reluctantly, she agreesโ€”only to realize sheโ€™s met him once before in a New York bar.

She is crucial to my plans, and I need her close. She insists that we keep things professional, and I comply. But soon she will realize that every line is blurred when it comes to her and me.

Cole offers to back her companyโ€”but thereโ€™s a cost. To secure his investment, Sloane must move into his Manhattan penthouse, where sheโ€™ll complete her first round of designs for him to review before Christmas.

Sloane throws herself into her work, yet soon the attraction between her and Cole becomes undeniable. As the city sparkles with Christmas splendor from her penthouse view, Sloane wonders if she has stepped into a fairy taleโ€”until Cole’s powerful enemies close in. They will stop at nothing to destroy him, including going after the woman he loves.

I will burn down the world to get her back…and it will be in time for Christmas.

Alta became a favorite author of mine when I discovered her books almost two years ago (really her books with Blake Zoe – The Gilded Decadence series) but quickly started reading her other books.

I inhaled the first book in this series last year and when it became known there was a second releasing, I hit pre-order so fast I almost broke a finger.

And let me tell you, Alta did not let me down with book two. She just proved why she is able to make a stalker romance sound so enticingly hot.

The blurb is all you need for this one. Alta weaves a very suspenseful and wickedly spicy story together that will have you turning pages quickly.

I will definitely be re-reading this around Christmas too.

Release Day Blitz…Eldritch by Keri Lake

Title: Eldritch
Series: The Eating Woods Trilogy #2
Author: Keri Lake
Genre: Dark Fantasy
Tropes: Morally Grey Characters/Fated Mates
Elements of Horror/Forced Proximity
Release Date: September 9, 2025

BLURB

An eldritch magic has awakened, turning the mortal world darker. Colder. Famished. With flesh-eating monsters and a sinister curse spreading like a plague, the last glimmer of humanity in Foxglove Parish has long-since faded.

For Maevyth and Zevander, the only chance of escape is through The Eating Woods. But fate has woven a new web, tangling the threads of destiny, and crossing the mystical boundary to Aethyria might not be so simple.
As the bones of Maevythโ€™s past are unearthed, and truths unravel with unsettling clarity, the possibility of never leaving Mortasia is becoming more of a reality. Unfortunately for Zevander, time is running out. The longer he stays in the mortal lands, deprived of essential vivicantem, the more he succumbs to the encroaching specter of madness.
Or maybe those chasing shadows are someone hunting him. A wretched evil closing in, threatening to pull him into the darkest corners of his mind.

Only, this time, Maevyth may not have the power to save him.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Unrequited by Jane Henry

Unrequited: A Dark Bratva Age Gap Romance by Jane Henry is now live!

A forbidden, age-gap romance of secrets, loyalty, and obsession.

He was never supposed to touch me.
I was never supposed to love him.
But some lines donโ€™t stay drawn.

I live in a world of rules and expectations, where obedience is survival and love is a liability. I was the innocent one. The youngest sister. Sheltered by my brothers and kept far away from the familyโ€™s darker affairs.

Until him.

Heโ€™s dangerous. Nameless. Obsessive.

Mine for one stolen hour a week, and every time he leaves me, he takes a piece of me with him.

But when I find out his true identity, my world implodes.

They call him the Undertaker.
The man who buries problems no one else can solve.

Loving him means betraying my family.
Choosing him means choosing war.
Butย heโ€™sย already chosen…me.

This book was perfection!!

I was so excited when I realized this was going to be Zoya’s and The Undertaker’s book. These two could not be any more different and yet they are immediately drawn to one another.

Jane did what Jane does best – she writes a phenomenal story with fantastic characters that standout on their own but when they meet their match, the chemistry is off the charts.

I won’t tell you how everything goes down because that will ruin this book for you. But I will tell you that you will fall in love with these two and their story.

And let’s not forget the spicy scenes – oh yes, they are worth the slow burn.

Unrequited is an absolute must-read!
