In this world, where gowns, castles, and crowns make for the perfect reflections, life isn’t always as it appears. Love is elusive, even when the most beautiful woman is right before you. Illusions distort visions, shadows lurk in the sunshine, and monsters tread behind smiles and chivalrous facades.
I, Roman Archibald Godfrey, swore an oath to Molave.
To the king.
And above all, to Princess Lucille.
Forget the fairytales you’ve heard. This world is ruthless.

Just when I think I can guess what Aleatha is going to bring us – she does nothing like I expect!!
Ruthless Reign is the start of Aleatha’s newest series and it’s definitely unlike anything I have read before.
Aleatha is known for her twists and suspense in her books, but now we add in secrets and who’s loyal to whom and who’s a traitor amongst them all.
Added amongst that suspense is one of the most passionate and extreme slow-burn romances I’ve ever read and that just adds to appeal and intrigue of this book.
Princess Lucille and Roman Godfrey’s marriage is one that has two very different sides. Roman isn’t who the people think he is and only Lucille knows the real him. When Oliver enters the picture, he adds another layer to this intriguing story and creating a very complicated relationship between him and Lucille.
Ruthless Reign was so unexpected and I loved every bit of this story. I read this book in hours; I could not put it down once I started it. And that ending!!
Definitely pick this one up and see why we all love Aleatha and her phenomenal books.
Yes, the former third baseman for the Chicago Bobbies and absolute heart throb of the Windy City. That Ryot Bisley.
The second time, he reluctantly bought me dinner, stared at my chest the entire night, and still sported that permanent frown.
The third time . . . well, that was a game changer. His smile captured me, his teasing charmed me, and his touches excited me.
The first time I ran into him, he was grumpy, a horrific host, and left me on his sofa with nothing but a nylon baseball flag to use as a blanket.
So when he was called up to the majors that didn’t stop us from knocking it out of the park and all the way down the aisle.
Eleven years later…I’d love to say we’re happy as ever but the man who sent me dirty text messages every day is long gone and Mr. Frowny Face is back.
He’s so focused on trying to build a life after baseball that he doesn’t see the life we’ve already created together. . .so I make the hard decision and serve him divorce papers.
Problem is…my husband refuses to accept those papers. Instead, he has a new game plan that makes untying the knot of our marriage a little tricky. And just when I thought I wanted to be traded . . . he’s slowly, tantalizingly roping me back in.
Untying the Knot is Meghan Quinn’s newest release and my favorite-to-date.
Yes, I said. MY FAVORITE TO DATE!!! And that is saying ALOT because I really love ALOT of Meghan’s books and she holds one my top ALL-TIME favorite reads. And that is now replaced with this book.
Untying the Knot puts a whole new spin on second chance romance. However, this book is extremely close to home, more than I ever anticipated. And maybe that’s why it’s my favorite but I felt this story deep in my bones.
I don’t ever remember crying, full on tears streaming down my face crying, within the first chapter of a book. Never happened before and truly did not expect that with Meghan’s book.
Untying the Knot is real, raw and so authentic, readers will find it extremely difficult to not relate to parts of it. I can feel Myla’s hurt through her words, thoughts and actions. (hell typing this review up and thinking back on everything and tears well in my eyes). And Ryot, Lord that man is something else; I felt his sense of loss and utter fear of losing the best thing he caught in life.
“I might matter to him, but I don’t matter the most.”
Even after all these years together, Myla and Ryot still had a lot of self reflecting and growing to do. It was a true joy to watch these two fall in love with one another again and I can personally speak to that feeling so much. Falling in love with your spouse, again and remembering why that person is your person is such a heartfelt and passionate feeling.
This story is one for the ages. It’s timeless and genuine in every aspect. I could not put this book down once I started it. I had to know how they handled things, how things progressed and what the final outcome was.
“You’re the one person who can break me, but also the one person who can put me back together.”
Do yourself a favor and read this book. If you read any books this year, let it be this one.

Excerpt
“Close your eyes.” She arches a brow but thankfully does what she’s told—for once. Ignoring every inch of my protesting body, I limp toward the lake’s edge because something amazing is about to happen. The sky lights up with thousands of lights, and it’s fucking beautiful. Cupping my hands gently, I smile and hobble back over to Darcie. Dropping to my knees before her, I say, “Open your eyes.” When she does, she meets mine, then looks at my cupped palms. I open them, and her reaction is worth almost toppling over in pain. “Oh my God,” she cries, steepling her fingertips over her mouth. “I thought they only came out during the summer.” “Not all of them.” We both watch as the firefly I caught lights up the space between us. It hovers between us, not appearing to be in any hurry to join its many friends. “It’s beautiful,” Darcie says, her eyes glued to the firefly, and I know she sees the beauty in something so simple as well. No matter what we’ve done, no matter what we do, we’re just a couple of misfits trying our best to survive. I hook my thumb over my shoulder, and as the moon comes out of hiding, so do the thousands of fireflies, lighting up the night sky. “Rev,” she gushes, coming to a stand and running toward the lake’s edge, her arms spread out wide like she too wishes she could light up the darkness. But little does she know, she lights up mine every single day. Our little friend flies away, knowing his job here is done. I join Darcie, standing by her side as we silently peer into the sky littered with fireflies. She reaches down and loops her fingers through mine. The fireflies soon pale compared to the fire burning between us. As usual, the world fades into the background until it’s just Darcie and me. “Thank you for bringing me here,” she says in an almost whisper. “It’s my first date.” “Sorry I bled through half of it.” She smiles, and the sight takes my breath away. “Why do they light up like that?” “Because of a chemical reaction caused by the organic compound, luciferin, in their abdomens,” I reply without thought. “Luciferin,” she repeats softly. “Sounds kind of diabolical, which is ironic, considering it relates to something so beautiful.” I can’t help but compare her analogy to herself—Darcie is kind of diabolical, but she is the most beautiful girl in the world. I’ve always hated the word love. It gets thrown around so easily, losing its meaning. But luciferin, now that is a unique word. And this right now, this feels something like luciferin.
“Two broken misfits have somehow learned to become a little less broken by finding one another.”
WHAT IN THE EVER LOVING FUCK DID I JUST READ?!?!
First and foremost, this book has ALOT of triggers. With a that being said, let the games begin…
This book is about us fucked up as one could get. It’s dark, full of gore and macabre weaved into a twisted plot that runs deep.
This book is a lot to digest and is definitely in its own niche. However, if you can handle true dark reads, this book is for you.
“…we’re just a couple of misfits trying our best to survive.”
Monica and Michelle promised their best and they delivered on that and then some.
Down the rabbit hole we go…indeed.
About the Authors Monica and Michelle are best friends who have combined their love for dark comedy, crime documentaries, and bad boys to write dark romance that will steal your heart and haunt your mind. Follow the white rabbit…
I watched him in high school. Knew his reputation. Knew he was wealthy, privileged, and mean. He ran the show back then, a partier and a player. Then he came back from college, back to the town I never left. He’s different now. He comes into the bar, and I know his routine. I know which stool he’ll pick. I know his favorite drink. I know which sports team he’ll want on the television screen. And I watch as he gets hit on. Sometimes he leaves the bar with a woman. Sometimes he doesn’t. But I’m always there, tending to his drinks. He gives me a smile and a polite nod back. Then one night, after a long appraising stare, he asked, “Ava, why are you single?” I leaned in, told him a lie, knowing the truth. What I didn’t know was that my world was about to shatter after that night.
Something else I didn’t know: would the man I watched all those years help put my heart back together… or smash it into pieces?

I devoured this in less than a few hours and wish I would’ve savored this longer!!
If you’ve read none of the books in the Fallen Crest series or Roussou World….you can still read this one!! And join me in the ranks of “I suck for not having read them, but desperately need to now!” because it’s going to happen.
I absolutely loved Zeke & his “this is me, take it over leave it” personality. I love that he doesn’t apologize for who he was (he does apologize for his actions & that’s different) and he doesn’t care if you like who he has become.
Ava, oh sweet Ava. She may be shy & stay hidden but girl is not one to be walked on. She may hide from uncertainty but she also holds her ground.
I want to say so much more but won’t. Just read it – you won’t regret it.

It’s easier to forgive someone at fault than to forget.
Larken Maynard knows fear. Though not the kind she’s experienced while working as a paranormal investigator on the hit show, Haunted New Orleans. Her terror stems from the sadistic, manipulative group who held her hostage for most of her life. Those who condemned her for her natural-born gifts. The people she barely escaped with her life. And now, they’re back. Looking to return her to the fold and control her once again. But Lark won’t go down without a fight. And the man who used to be her friend and confidant is in for a rude awakening if he thinks she will.
Kholt Leroy has never really known anything but Balance of Light. They are his family, his friends. The ranch was his childhood home. He always wondered why his best friend disappeared, and he’s missed her greatly…for far too long. So, when he runs into her again, he’s thrilled. Unfortunately, he’s unprepared for what he finds. She’s not the person he remembers, and the stories she tells flips his entire world on its axis. Now, he must decide between the woman he has always cared about and the only family he’s ever known.

Holden Moore can have any girl he wants… except the coach’s daughter.
Quarterback Sneak by Kandi Steiner is now live!
Quarterback Holden Moore can have any girl he wants. Except me: the coach’s daughter.
With piercing green eyes, herculean biceps, and irresistible dimples, Holden is the number one target for every girl on campus. But according to his teammates, football is the only love of his life.
He’s their leader, their QB1 and team captain who is all business and no play.
But when I’m with him? Mr. Serious isn’t serious at all. He loves to push my buttons, to pin me with those sexy eyes of his and tease me until I bite back.
I remind him I’m off limits. He can’t have me, and I don’t want him—or anyone else, for that matter.
I’m here for one reason: to show my father I’m more than his greatest disappointment.
But when an old injury flares up and I’m forced to work with Holden every day as his athletic trainer, his attempts to get under my skin start becoming harder to resist.
We can’t give in, no matter how much the air crackles between us when we’re close. I’m the coach’s daughter, and if Holden Moore wants to go pro, he’s got to play by daddy’s rules.
Otherwise, he’ll be off the team. And he’s not the only one with something to lose.

Quarterback Sneak is Kandi’s newest release in her sports romance series, Red Zone Rivals and she keeps delivering touchdown after touchdown with each book.
These books can be read as full standalones as each book features a different couple. Quarterback Sneak is Holden and Julep’s story and it’s quite the angsty one.
Holden is the captain and QB1 for his football team. It’s his last season in college and they have a new head coach. The day they meet their new coaching staff, they are also introduced to the coach’s daughter who is joining their athletic training team. But one thing coach makes clear to everyone, his daughter is off limits to all or they will suffer the consequences.
Julep traveled with her dad to a new state and college for various reasons, but her number one reason being she wants to prove to her father that she’s ready to do things on her own. Julep is very closed off to everyone but her father. The last few years have been rough for her and he’s been there every step of the way.
Julep may have moved with her dad, but her biggest step is living in her own place with a roommate, which also just happens to be across the street from The Pit – the place in which a few football players reside and where all their parties are at.
Holden and Julep are both focused are their goals and doing their best to avoid any distractions that could deter them. But neither anticipated each other and Coach’s rule just adds another layer to that attraction.
Kandi wrote this story beautifully. I was invested from start to finish and loved every bit in between. These two definitely toe the line and the angst level is really up there. I loved every bit of their story – the characters, the plot and the writing. All of it just made for an authentic read and a story to remember.
Kandi Steiner is an Amazon Top 5 bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing “emotional rollercoaster” stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance — in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal.
An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women’s Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. 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.

Crew Madigan is a snowboarding legend. He’s gorgeous, rich, famous and every woman’s dream. Well, except mine. I’ll take a nerdy guy with a clumsy streak who wouldn’t know what to do with a pair of skis to save his life. Superstar athletes? No, thanks. World champions? Hard pass. Crew? Definitely not. It’s been over a decade since Crew set foot on Madigan Mountain. Instead of sitting with his family during his brother’s wedding, he takes the chair beside mine. ESPN really doesn’t do that chiseled jaw justice. The cameras miss the flecks of gold in his eyes. When he invites me to his hotel room after the wedding, I break all of my own rules for just one night. But here’s the problem with just one night. Crew is impossible to forget. And he’s not the only one who loves a thrill. The crash, the broken bones, are inevitable. Because together, we’re a little too wild.

A little Too Wild is the third book in the Madigan Mountain series and each book is written by a different author. While the books do surround a particular family, you can read them in any order and not miss anything.
ALTW features Crew Madigan. He’s a snowboard legend and hasn’t returned home since he left over a decade ago. He’s now returned for his brother’s wedding but doesn’t intend to stay longer than needed. Too many memories and no reason to truly stay.
Raven is Crew’s best friend’s sister. They’ve never seen the other as anything more than friends. But on the night of his brother’s wedding, they decide one night won’t kill them and give into this new attraction they seem to have discovered.
Devney does a superb job of giving this story some great depth and keeping the characters authentic and real. I love that she blends the snowboarding aspect beautifully and it all just blends wonderfully. Devney delivers the right amount of angst, drama and spice to keep readers turning the pages.
Another great story that readers will love!
Meet Devney
Devney is a USA Today bestselling author who lives in Washington with her husband and two sons. Born and raised in Montana, she loves writing books set in her treasured home state. After working in the technology industry for nearly a decade, she abandoned conference calls and project schedules to enjoy a slower pace at home with her family. Writing one book, let alone many, was not something she ever expected to do. But now that she’s discovered her true passion for writing romance, she has no plans to ever stop.
Hollywood screenwriter Sawyer Walsh knows a good love story when he sees it. But when it comes to real life romance, he’s a mess. That’s how he finds himself standing at the altar…as his ex-girlfriend ties the knot with his very famous best friend. The pressure, the resentment, the media coverage—it’s all too much—and before he knows exactly what he’s doing, he’s making a run for it, leaving a shocked congregation and flashing cameras in his wake.
Needing to lie low amid the media fallout, Sawyer lands in the charming town of Canoodle, California, where he crosses paths with Fallon Long, who runs the Canoodle Cove Cabins, a family-owned business and Sawyer’s new short-term residence. Overwhelmed with renovations and her long list of responsibilities, Fallon is struggling to make ends meet while attempting to bring the cabins back to their original glory. So when Sawyer arrives, she is grateful for the income, but immediately writes him off as just another vapid Hollywood hack, until he begins to prove her wrong at every turn.
As Fallon comes closer to saving the family business, an undeniable bond forms between her and the handsome screenwriter. But the pressures of her family obligations and Sawyer’s notoriety might prove to be too much for anyone to handle. Could Canoodle be the setting for a new romance—or is true love just a Hollywood cliché?

The paparazzi were on my ass 24/7 and I needed a bit of breathing room—an escape from the madness—before the media frenzy begins.
Sure, I could have gone to a secluded cabin in the woods—but I didn’t want to be bored out of my mind. I’d seen enough wide open spaces as a kid from Texas to last me a lifetime.
So instead, I let my agent hook me up with a modest house in the burbs where we didn’t think anyone would find me hiding in plain sight.
I’d have a roommate; but supposedly, she was going to give me space. Stay out of my way and respect my boundaries. According to my agent, I wouldn’t hear a peep from her.
Wrong. He was wrong about everything and now my life was never going to be the same.

A new dark college reverse harem romance from the USA Today & WSJ bestselling author of The Sainthood Series.
In the secret society of The Luminaries, no sin will go unpunished…
Sleeping with my boyfriend’s best friend, behind his girlfriend’s back, probably wasn’t my smartest idea.
But Jase is mine, and it’s about time Julia knew it.
Attending Lowell University was supposed to be a fresh start. A chance to end all the sneaking around and make our relationship official.
I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Julia is digging her claws into Jase.
My boyfriend, Chad, is getting in deeper with a local gang.
And my loathsome new stepbrother, Ares, has just moved in.
Ares despises Chad and Jase, and the feeling is mutual. As their rivalry escalates, Ares seems determined to use me as a pawn, and I’m trapped in the middle. It doesn’t help that he’s hot AF, knows exactly how to push my buttons, and my body hasn’t gotten the memo he’s off-limits.
I wish that were the least of my worries.
Pride. Wrath. Lust. Envy. Greed. Gluttony. Sloth.
My life turns upside down the moment the dark secret society of The Luminaries is revealed to me.
Everything I thought I knew was a lie.
Now, I have lost all control over my future, and a heart-breaking new reality emerges.
One where lovers become enemies, enemies become allies, and corrupting sinners to sin is my only way to survive.

ALL OF THE STARS!!!
Just when I think Siobhan can’t get any kinkier or darker with her stories – she releases another one!!
Dirty Crazy Bad is literally just that!! Dirty! Crazy! and Bad! But it is soooo damn good!!
Just read the blurb and that’s all you need. Just know that if you thought you’ve read some dark themes and steamy sex sense – you haven’t read anything yet.
Yes, there is A LOT of sex in this book. And it’s very kinky and steamy. But it’s how Siobhan blends that into this story intense and suspenseful plot that keeps it all from going too far overboard.
Siobhan creates some very complex characters who’s lives are not what they seem, even to them. Siobhan starts this story off perfectly with a jaw-dropping prologue and then takes us back to where it all started and builds the story up from there.
I could not put this book down once I started. I needed to know where this story was going and what would happen next because so much happened in every scene. Betrayals, revelations, secrets and twists happening left and right. You truly don’t know who to trust or what anyone is capable of.
Speechless – I really don’t know what to say other than just go read this book if you are a lover of dark, intense romance stories.

From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 44 Chapters About 4 Men (inspiration for the Netflix Original series Sex/Life) comes a dark mafia romance steeped in Irish folklore.
I can’t remember anymore if my grandfather’s eyes were blue or green, but I’ll never forget the way they wrinkled at the corners when he laughed at one of his own jokes. Or the way they sparkled with mischief when he told me tales about the magical creatures that dwelled in the forest behind his humble Irish sheep farm–shy fairies who liked to eat tea biscuits, cruel witches who liked to eat children, a moody lake spirit with a taste for expensive gifts.
As a child, I believed every fantastical word. But when he warned me about the mute boy who also lurked in those woods, the one the priest had declared to be the spawn of Satan himself, I refused to listen. Kellen wasn’t evil. He was kind, and beautiful, and special, and hurting. He was my friend. And with every summer I spent stolen away with him in those enchanted woods, he grew to become so much more.
But when I return to Glenshire as an adult, grieving and engaged to someone else, all those legends quickly morph into nightmares.
My grandfather had been right about everything, especially the boy.
If only I had listened.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: Devil of Dublin is intended for mature audiences who enjoy extremely dark subject matter, high emotional intensity, explicit adult content, graphic violence, heart-pounding suspense, fairy-tale worthy love, and gorgeous Irish scenery.

BB has once again delivered a unique, authentic & entertaining story that will stay with you long after you’ve finished it.
Meet BB Easton
Wall Street Journal bestselling author BB Easton lives in the suburbs of Atlanta with her long-suffering husband, Ken, and two adorable children. A few years ago, she quit her job as a school psychologist to write books about her punk rock past and deviant sexual history full-time. Ken wasn’t super excited about that, but now that he’s appeared in three of her books and inspired a TV show character, he’s incredibly supportive.
BB’s debut memoir, 44 Chapters About 4 Men, went on to inspire the Netflix original series, Sex/Life, which was viewed by 67 million households worldwide within the first month making it the 3rd most-watched Netflix original series of all time. Because she had so much fun writing 44 Chapters, BB went on to publish four more wickedly funny, shockingly steamy, and heartwarmingly autobiographical books, one for each man in her memoir—Skin, Speed, Star, and Suit.
The Rain Trilogy—a dark, immersive, end-of-the-world romance—was BB’s first work of fiction. Or at least, that’s what she thought when she wrote it in 2019. Then, 2020 hit, and all of her dystopian plot points started coming true. Hoping to fix everything, BB returned with a fun, feel-good romantic comedy called Group Therapy, but alas, the world is still on fire … and so is BB’s desire to write intense, us-against-the-world romances. Her next release,Devil of Dublin, is a dark Irish mafia romance steeped in folklore and family secrets.
You can find BB procrastinating in all of the following places:
