In an industry dominated by men, Sophia Rose, an elite tattooist, earned her reputation by owning Rose & Lace Ink Emporium, an all-female staffed studio.
Her golden rule was simple. Never date a client. That no-strings-attached-attitude kept her evenings busy, and her heart stagnant.
That is until the zaniest night of tattooing in her career befell…
When propositioned with an offer that any entrepreneur would be foolish to decline, Sophia finds herself blinded by the stardom and mayhem that the Kings of Jupiter encompass.
With Sophia as their muse, lust, and lyrics blur like the lines of the pavement beneath the tour bus.
For Mazen Wilde, Oliver Collins and Cannon Rhodes, creating music was as easy as taking a breath.
But all great songs do come to an end…
Intended for fans of Tate James, Lily Gold and Emily Rath. Kings of Jupiter is a duet that WILL end on an enthralling cliffhanger. This is a rock star reverse harem, meaning our heroine has three band boyfriends. Swords will cross…
Coffee connoisseur. Tattoo addict. Lover of words.
Nacole Stayton is thirty-something years young and resides in the Bourbon Capital of the World with her husband and son. Her debut novel, The Upside of Letting Go is an Amazon top 100 bestseller. She spends her days working in healthcare as a practice administrator and her evenings pinning away on her next novel. She can usually be found playing with monster trucks and dodging Nerf gun darts or enjoying an iced coffee poolside.
Duke Hart built an empire in the seedy underworld of Boston. Despite his success, he’s always kept his family at arm’s length to protect them from his dangerous lifestyle. But he’s ready to call it quits and hand over the reins to his partner until his sister Grace gets caught in the crossfire of a brutal war between rival gangs and the cartel.
Now Duke has no choice but to stay and fight. He abandoned Grace once. He’ll die before he’ll let her suffer again.
After five years with the bureau, FBI Agent Fallyn Williams finally has an opportunity she’s been waiting for. If she can bring in the notorious Duke Hart, then more doors will open for her as she climbs the corporate ladder to hopefully one day become the director—a role she’s dreamed about since her father held that prestigious position.
But in the treacherous expanse where gang wars and cartel thrive, Fallyn isn’t prepared for the cunning and deadly Duke Hart. As he worms his way into her heart, making her question everything she’s ever believed in, she finds herself caught in a dangerous game of cat and mouse.
With the stakes higher than ever, both Duke and Fallyn are determined to come out on top. But in a world where nothing is as it seems, success may come at a deadly cost.
Hart of Redemption is a stand-alone, enemies to lovers romantic suspense filled with an alpha hero, feisty heroine, action, intrigue, off-the-charts steamy times, and a happily ever after.
I truly had no expectations going into this book. I have not read the previous two books and didn’t even read the blurb before reading this. The cover caught my eye and I love Susan’s writing, so I just wanted to read it. LOL
Hart of Redemption moves at a fast pace and contains lots of drama and action that will keep readers right at the edge of their seats the entire time. But what truly rocked me was Duke and the love he had for his family. He put them first, no matter what; his loyalty is unmatched.
Duke and Fallyn are both complex characters and watching things explode between them as the story progresses was just another great layer to this fantastic story. Their chemistry is undeniable and that push and pull between because neither wanted to act on their feelings was like adding fuel to an already raging fire. LOVED IT!!!
I could go on and on about this book – it is that damn good. Susan wrote a phenomenal book and I can’t wait to read the first two.

I’m Susan Alexander, and you’ll find my books under S.B. Alexander. I’m an independent author with over 20 titles to date. I write paranormal, new adult, and sweet romances that feature hot heroes stealing hearts.
In between writing, I spend time with my soul mate of 21 years who got a bad deal in life when he was diagnosed with ALS five years ago. Since then, our journey has taken us down a path we’d never imagined. Despite that, we’ve been making the best of life, laughing, smiling, and doing what we can together.
Through all the madness, writing and publishing has been a great outlet for me. In addition, I have an amazing tribe of family, friends, readers, fans, and so many others who support me. I truly have an angel on my shoulder. My mantra is make the best of life because it’s too darn short.
Brooke does this couple justice! I love this story unfolds and how their relationship moves and develops in a natural way.
There were a few areas that dragged for me (discussing certain movies felt like filler) but overall, this book moves the perfect pace.
Readers will trip over Tripp. He’s just so, EVERYTHING!!! Magnolia is a firecracker – that’s the best way to describe her. I love her and her personality.
Stay With Me is a book every romance reader will enjoy.
Just when I thought this series would wrap up with this book, Monica delivers a cliffy like that and now I am not so patiently waiting for book four.
Mia seeks revenge. Mia demands answers. But her growth in this book is just as monumental as is her journey for answers.
Quinn, Quinn, Quinn. This man is unequivocally devoted to Mia. He will protect her with all that he is and burn down the world trying.
These two go through alot and we as readers get to see those walls come down with one another. And the way this unfolds into this story is perfect.
I am purposely being vague with this review. I thoroughly enjoyed this book because I truly had no idea what to expect, outside of the blurb (and obviously reading the previous two books).
Monica does a phenomenal job of blending the suspense aspects of this story with the romantic portions. It all flows wonderfully and gives the story those multiple layers we crave as readers that helps us empathize with the characters.
This series is phenomenal and while I hate waiting for a fourth book, I am so excited it’s not over yet!!

Brace yourselves for an intense rollercoaster of emotions as Jordyn O’Neill’s journey continues in a world filled with vengeance, demons, and the irresistible allure of The Reapers Mafia Crew Duet’s final installment, One Love by N.O. One Author
Every dream and every hope I had for humanity is now sitting firmly in my rearview mirror.
Life is dark.
Grim.
And after everyone I cared for was ripped away from me, all I see, all I feel, is vengeance.
The scars I wear are invisible but no less profound and can only be healed through bloodshed.
And I will shed blood.
I will hunt.
I will catch.
I will avenge my broken soul and, this time, I won’t do it alone.
With no secrets to hold me back, I welcome the day I can drop my armor and expose my heart to the one man who can handle my world.
The one man who sees no damsel, only demon.
The one who sees me for who I truly am.
I am Jordyn O’Neill and I do not come in peace.
HOT DAMN!!! These two ladies can write freaking phenomenal dark stories with amazing characters.
You MUST read One Kill before reading One Love – no ifs, ands or buts on this one.
We were left one hell of a cliffhanger in One Kill and I honestly wasn’t sure if these two ladies could give J the ending she so rightly deservers. Boy, was I completely wrong.
I won’t give any of the story details away but if you are looking to reading this book, then you know what happened at the end of One Kill and well, shit just keeps hitting the fan.
There is zero shortage of action and suspense in this book. There is also of spice (HOLY HOT!!!) and I thoroughly enjoy how everything plays out – EVERYTHING. I have zero complaints about this duet.
I love that these two ladies keep J real and authentic and never change her, even when things get complicated and dicey for her.
The amount of layers and the depth to these characters is perfection. These two ladies truly know how write a captivating story with characters you can’t ever forget.
A companion novel to Say I’m the One and Let Me Love You
Reeve, an all-new emotional, angsty, new adult romance, and the fourth book in the All of Me Series, from USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Siobhan Davis is now available!
Vivien Grace Mills has been the center of my universe since the second she entered this world.
Every memory I hold precious includes her.
She’s my biggest champion and the one person keeping me sane during some of the most testing times of my life.
Vivien shows me what it means to love and be loved.
I know she’s the one from an early age.
When I land my dream role, plans for our future are finally coming true.
Until everything falls apart, leaving a complicated trail of broken, scarred hearts and long-lasting consequences.
I messed up: I failed her. I failed me.
I won’t rest until the only woman I love is back in my arms.
Nothing or no one will stop me from reclaiming her heart. Not my manipulative costar, my greedy agent, or the backstabbing studio publicist.
And especially not him.
My determination and patience are successful, and Vivien is back where she belongs.
I finally have the family I have craved my entire life.
But I sacrificed so much for my poor decisions, and I’m not finished paying the price.
Sitting on my bed, fresh from my post-workout shower, I clear my throat and press record on my phone. “Hey, guys. Today is a very special day, because on this day eighteen years ago, the most important person in my life was born.”
I fight a smirk as I hold up the cutest baby picture of Vivien. Lauren sent me a few after I told her I wanted to record a birthday video. My girl is probably gonna string me up by the balls for sharing this publicly, but I want the world to know I love her and how much she means to me. I can’t think of a more perfect way to do that.
Plus, I’m missing her big-time today. This is the first time I have missed her birthday, and I’m all up in my feels. If I can’t be with her, I still want her to know how much I adore her. I want her to feel surrounded by my love even if I’m thousands of miles away. I already got confirmation the lavender roses I sent her were delivered, and Moira confirmed she dropped my gift off at the house last night and her parents will give it to her today.
“I wouldn’t be the man I am today if it wasn’t for this gorgeous, smart, funny, compassionate, loving woman,” I add, holding up a different photo. This pic is one we took while in Big Bear in January. We are wrapped up in one other, both sporting matching wide smiles for the camera. “Have you ever loved someone so much it physically pains you to be apart from them?” A tight pain spreads across my chest, confirming my words. I rub at the pain, but it does nothing to alleviate the perpetual ache for my girl. “As much as I am loving bringing Camden Marshall to life, I am missing my baby so much.”
Emotion swirls inside me as I lean in closer to the screen, speaking these next words directly to my love. “I love you, Viv. You are the best thing to ever happen to me, and I don’t even care that the guys are going to give me shit for this.” I blow her a kiss. “You are my world, and I wish I could be there to hug you and kiss you. Only twenty-seven days until I see you again. I can’t wait. Till then, have the happiest of birthdays, my love.” I blow her one final kiss before ending the recording and pressing publish. I like the thought she will wake up and see my message first thing.
Predictably, when I show up on set, the guys give me a ton of shit for my “sappy” birthday message.
“Look what I dug up online.” Rudy smirks as he holds out his cell phone while we are assembled around one long table in the cafeteria eating breakfast.
“Where the hell did you get that?” I swipe the phone from his hands so I can look at the picture up close. It was taken the night we attended our first Harry Potter premiere together, and I remember it as if it was yesterday.
“It’s amazing what you can find when you google shit. There are tons of pics of you and Viv from when you were kids. I see what you mean now. There’s no way you can hide your relationship from fans, and I don’t think you should. You two are the ultimate Hollywood love story. I think fans will eat that shit up.” A fake swoony expression coasts over his face as he places one hand over his heart. “Even my cynical ass believes in the dream.”
Pity my agent and the studio publicist don’t share that sentiment. I have tried making the same argument, but they are not listening to me.
Siobhan Davis, you truly know how to captivate and keep your readers wanting more.
Reeve is a companion novel to the All of Me series and must be read after you’ve read the previous three books. This story was nowhere close to what I expected and made me see Reeve in a new light.
This book is an emotional roller coaster, as is this entire series. Even though I knew the outcome, I was still one thousand percent invested in this book. It gave me an even deeper appreciation for Reeve and made Mr fall in love with him all over again.
Siobhan delivered a story that her readers will absolutely love and appreciate that it’s not just a retelling; it’s Reeve’s life. It’s 70% new material and so much better than you can imagine.

YOU BEAUTIFUL THING, YOU by USA Today bestselling author SaffronA. Kent is LIVE! Don’t miss this all new angsty, enemies to lovers, forbidden romance!!!
No, her biological clock isn’t ticking, but she’s desperate for unconditional love. Rejected by all except her brother and soon to be married off by her father for financial gain, she aches for someone to hold close and call hers.
Enter Ledger Thorne. Soccer god, devastatingly handsome and her brother’s rival.
Once upon a time they had a thing. A beautiful thing. But while Tempest thought she was madly in love, Ledger was only using her for petty revenge.
So Tempest has a plan: seduce the sexy jerk who broke her heart, use him to get pregnant and then leave him in the dust like he left her, to marry a stranger.
Only the problem with making babies is that it doesn’t feel like revenge. It feels a lot like that thing they used to have: Hot and stormy, and intense and intimate.
But Tempest isn’t a fool. She’ll stick to the plan.
Because wasn’t it Ledger who turned their beautiful thing into something ugly?
Now it’s her turn…
NOTE: This is a STANDALONE set in the world of Bardstown, a St. Mary’s Rebels spin-off.
You Beautiful Thing, You was an interesting read for me. I didn’t not like it and I didn’t love it. I am truly torn right down the middle on this one.
I absolutely loved the idea of this book and the writing was ok. I enjoyed the characters and their uniqueness, however there were other things that just didn’t jive with me.
I will say that the book is enticing and kept me entertained. It’s not your typical NA romance; it definitely stands out.
I would still recommend readers check the TW and then go from there on reading it.
ABOUT THE SAFFRON:
Saffron A. Kent is a USA Today Bestselling Author of Contemporary and New Adult romance.
She has an MFA in Creative Writing and she lives in New York City with her nerdy and supportive husband.
My brother’s teammates know not to touch me—but that doesn’t stop me from daring Jaxson Brittain to be the first to break the rule.
After one steamy night in Austin, I’m all too aware of the hot, broody defenseman with icy blue eyes and ink sprawling his muscular arms. He was the one my brother assigned to keep me safe—and I had far too much fun tempting him to be the one to put me in danger.
It was just one night of tip-toeing the line, of teasing and flirting and messing around knowing nothing would ever come of it.
But when the universe throws me back into his lap two weeks later and we end up on a secret road trip together, all bets are off.
I can’t help but touch him. I can’t help but pray for him to touch me. And I can’t resist the temptation to test him at every turn.
Jaxson is smart and doesn’t have a death wish. So, like a gentleman, he keeps his hands to himself… the jerk.
But the closer we get on the road and the farther we get from reality, the less those warning signs from my brother seem to deter him.
When we started this road trip, we set a boundary. We promised to keep all arms and legs safely in the friend zone.
Now, miles and miles away from all the reasons we shouldn’t, all I can hear is my heart thumping out the resounding reason we should.
And the way those heated blue eyes watch me, I know I’m not the only one.

Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.”
She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.
When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, planning her next adventure, or pole dancing (yes, you read that right). She enjoys live music, traveling, playing with her fur babies and soaking up the sweetness of life.

Pine River was supposed to be a new start for me.
And it was, especially attending school with my three overprotective cousins, who were the triplets at the top of the social hierarchy. Except they weren’t alone there, and the first day when I came to school, I saw him.
Scout Raiden. Tall. Lean. Tattooed. Mesmerizing. He was a golden god with dark and piercing eyes—looking like he wanted to eat me up.
The feeling was mutual, and that was a problem. It was lust-want-must have-loathing-hate all at once. I was affected. And I couldn’t have that. No way. Not after what I’d just left in Cedra Valley.
I didn’t care how much money his uncle had. I didn’t care that it seemed every girl wanted him. I didn’t care about his reputation as an up-and-coming fighter. Or the promise of how those hands would make me feel.
What I did care about was staying as far away from Scout as possible. Because the promise of his presence, the heat that was going to turn the light back on in my world wasn’t a promise at all. It was a threat.
If Tijan writes it, I will read it. And absolutely devour and love it.
Pine River is a fast-paced high school sports romance. There is a lot that happens in this book and a lot of characters are introduced in this small town of Pine River.
I think what stands out most in Tijan’s books is her characters. They all have unique personalities while there is a lot of drama (it is a high school), it keeps the story entertaining and the plot moving along quickly.
Tijan did a good job of keeping everything weaving together and while things got hectic, it was enjoyable to read. I did wish we got more of just Scout and Ramsay alone together, but you could sense the change from enemies to more.
Pine River pulls readers in from the start and keeps them engaged throughout the entire book. It will be impossible to put down once you start. Another great story from Tijan.
