Canary, an all-new unforgettable enemies-to-lovers standalone mafia romance from New York Times bestselling author Tijan is available now!
We were on the front lines in that world, the mafia world. There was nothing soft or glamorous about it. Who you were before no longer mattered. Names didn’t exist.
I joined anyway. I had no other choice because they took my sister. Join. Find her. Try and make it out alive.
Then he won me in a poker game. I hated him instantly, thinking he was like my other bosses before him. He wasn’t. He was worse.
He wasn’t just cold. He was dead inside. It didn’t matter that he was gorgeous. He was the most lethal thing I’d ever met.
He was also the only person who could keep me alive, if he didn’t kill me himself.
A/N This is a 102k mafia/cartel standalone. This is the most violent book Tijan has ever written. Trigger warning: references to sexual violence

The Blood That Binds – Book 3 in the Thicker Than Blood Series is Available Now!
Happy Release Day to Claire C Riley and Madeline Sheehan on the release of their story of love and survival at the end of the world..
Early reviewers are loving this Dystopian romance and the angst it brings between two brothers who are in love with the same girl.
Gripping, intense and emotional, these two authors put both characters and readers through the wringer but I wouldn’t have it any other way. – Wendy, Goodreads Reviewer
My mouth was hanging open a 1am! Madeline and Claire, again knocked this out of the park! – Keshia, Goodreads Reviewer
It’s a gripping read, lots of drama and angst, ups and downs…. a real rollercoaster of a ride this one!! – Claire, Goodreads Reviewer
Blurb:
Tᴡᴏ ʙʀᴏᴛʜᴇʀs. A ᴄʜɪʟᴅʜᴏᴏᴅ sᴡᴇᴇᴛʜᴇᴀʀᴛ.
Life has never been easy for this trio, and especially not after the end of civilization as they knew it. Having had their formative years ripped from them, they were thrust into a shattered, savage world, a world where they only had each other.
Lᴏᴠᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ʟᴏss.
Weary travellers on the brink, there is a storm brewing, a turbulent tempest that has nothing to do with the weather. When tragedy strikes, everything changes in the blink of an eye– facades come undone, and loyalty is pushed to a breaking point.
A ᴅɪᴀᴍᴏɴᴅ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴏᴜɢʜ.
Immersed back into something akin to normal society, a safe-haven in the midst of misery, our travellers are forced to finally confront their demons–long-kept secrets that have been haunting them for nearly a decade.
This book is unbelievably amazing. I am not sure where to even start with my thoughts.
The Blood That Binds is the third book in the Thicker Than Blood series, but it is a complete and full standalone. Madeline and Claire introduce brand new characters into this series, both main and secondary and bring new life to this series in so many ways.
I won’t divulge too much of what happens in this book because everything flows together and giving anyway tidbits, will just ruin the story. I absolutely love Lucas, Logan and Willow. These three have been through everything as a trio, even before the world ended. So it’s no surprise that they have stuck together long after the world was upended, regardless of their differences. The secondary characters add another amazing layer to this story and are the perfect addition to this story.
I read this book in less than a day. I felt like I was at the edge of my seat the whole time reading. Madeline and Claire do a brilliant job of building up each scene and having it flow perfectly into the next juncture. The pacing in this book is amazing and I can’t tell at any point that there are two people are writing this book. It all flows beautifully together; the plot, the characters and the amazing writing.
Readers will laugh, cry (happy and sad tears), scream and even want to throttle some characters at times. I was thoroughly invested in these characters and their story. There is also no shortage of action and gore either. Madeline and Claire deliver their grittier side with some gruesome scenes that align perfectly with the plot and these characters. Readers will envision this post-apocalyptic due to the brilliant details and will feel as though they’re walking in the characters shoes.
The Blood That Binds is a heart-pounding, explosive read. It’s a great book for readers who read the first two and brand new readers. It is a full standalone and should be read as such. If you read the first two, do not attempt to compare this book to either of those. This book features younger characters and their view on the new world. And if you did not read the first two, you are in for one hell of a great story.
Side note – I really, really, really, really hope that Britta gets her own book. Just read the book and you’ll find out why and agree with me. 🙂

Jack Dryden-Jones is easily the worst rugby player on the field—when he moves to The States to follow in his brothers footsteps, he has no idea how he’d hate the game. He’s so horrible he considers faking an injury to take himself out of the game.
Jack is a quick-witted, comic book loving gentleman—not an athlete.
DO NOT DATE YOUR ROOMMATES CRUSH.
When her roommate brings home a random stranger, Eliza is shocked when he makes himself at home; he’s strapping, strong and watching a movie at the end of her couch as if he belongs there.
It makes her uncomfortable in the best way possible.
But if there is one thing she believes in, it’s GIRL CODE: No girl may date her friend’s ex, past crush, or guys who have humiliated/used her. And she most certainly may not date any guy her friend currently fancies…
DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Jack and Eliza are two of the good ones—it’s going to take a miracle to keep them apart.
Jock Reign is Ney’s 5th book in Jock Hard series. I absolutely adore this series and Ney’s writing. I can see her quirky side come through and find it refreshing it.
The blurb truly gives you all to need to know about this book. But what makes it endearing, is all the interactions between Jack and Eliza. These two were made perfect for one another. I love their banter and how one was always able to one-up the other.
Jock Reign is a nice slow-burn romance, as it should be for college kids. There isn’t any huge spark between but rather a gradual progression towards things. Jack was quite the surprise and I loved his character so much. Same with Eliza – I wish I had more confidence like her when I was in college. I could have seen myself being really good friends with her.
I digress. Jock Reign is another great college romance story that is sure to make readers laugh, smile and enjoy the sweet romance.

“Forbidden to Love is mafia romance at its best.” -J.A. Owenby, International bestselling author
Forbidden To Love, an all-new dark, forbidden romance set in the same world as Condemned to Love by USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Siobhan Davis, is available now!
Natalia Mazzone has grown up knowing she is promised to a made man. As the only daughter of one of New York’s most powerful mafia dons, she knows she can’t refuse. It’s her duty, and she would never dishonor her beloved father.
But the man she’s promised to is a monster. And there is nothing but torture, pain, and heartache lying in wait.
So, she grabs happiness when she finds it—in the somewhat reluctant arms of Leonardo Messina.
Leo is her brother’s best friend. A soldato for the Mazzone famiglia. A man with strong ambition and an even stronger resolve. He won’t allow them to give in to temptation, so Natalia is forced to love him from afar.
Until one forbidden night changes everything, and she readily hands Leo the key to her heart.
Leo risked everything for the one woman he can never have. He doesn’t regret it. It saved Natalia from a life of hell, but his actions set her on a different course.
One that doesn’t involve him.
Years have passed, and his feelings remain the same. Yet he keeps his distance, dedicating himself to his new role as underboss to Bennett Mazzone, while the love of his life is married to another man.
Until a twist of fate puts Natalia in his path again, and this time, he is powerless to resist.
This is how Dark Mafia romance is to be written!! Gah!! There are very few authors who truly can write dark mafia romance and Siobhan Davis is one of them!
Forbidden to Love is written in dual POVs, Nat and Leo. This is a complete standalone. I cannot emphasize this enough. Yes, there are other characters from another book that make appearances and there are references made to that book (Condemned to Love), but you do not need to read that book or have any knowledge of it to read this one. Siobhan does a superb job of filling in any gaps without taking away from Nat and Leo’s story. And I am only pointing this out because it is extremely difficult to do that.
Siobhan blew me away with this book. The depth, layers and details she brings to this story is unreal. I felt as though I was living through everything that Nat and Leo had to endure. FTL is filled with action, drama, angst and heart-pounding scenes that will leave readers breathless. I could not get enough of this book.
I love how Siobhan is able to blend the drama and action of the mafia side with the angst and sweet romance side of this story. Forbidden to Love is one dark mafia romance that everyone needs to read. Go buy it now!!
About Siobhan
Siobhan Davis is a USA Today, Wall Street Journal and Amazon Top 10 bestselling romance author. Siobhan writes emotionally intense stories with swoon-worthy romance, complex characters, and tons of unexpected plot twists and turns that will have you flipping the pages beyond bedtime! She has sold over 1.5 million books and her titles are translated into several languages.
Prior to becoming a full-time writer, Siobhan forged a successful corporate career in human resource management.
She lives in the Garden County of Ireland with her husband and two sons.
Being the youngest member of her immediate family, and massive network of cousins, she’s always been sheltered. That ends now. After graduating with her masters in nursing, she’s ready to move out of her parents’ house, whether they support that decision or not. While wallowing in the guilt of that choice at the local bar, she bumps into the one guy she shouldn’t go near.
A player for her family’s team and her cousin’s best friend, Clark should come with a warning label. Not only because he’s the league’s number one playboy, but because he’s significantly older than her.
Unfortunately, they can’t seem to keep their hands off of each other. That initial night together leads to scorching glances across public parties, secret hookups in hidden places, and way more than either of their hearts bargained for.
But being with Clark means lying to those closest to them. When their secret is finally discovered, it sends the already skittish bad boy running for the hills. And although she claimed to want freedom with no strings, Anna can’t help but feel the sharp pull to be with him forever.
Clark Nyle swore a long time ago he’d never be committed to anyone.
After watching his mother ruin his father through adultery and abandonment, he knows that love is for masochists and he certainly isn’t one. Baseball and living life like every day’s a party are his only two passions.
Then his father dies, and he’s forced to question everything. It leads to a barstool, too many drinks, and into the backseat of his car with the one woman he should never have touched.
Now that he’s gotten a taste of Anna, he can’t stay away. Even if their secret affair comes with way too many consequences. Her family owns the team he plays for, not to mention his best friend would cut off his balls if he knew what they were up to. Plus, he doesn’t want anything long-term, and eventually he’s going to break her heart.
But the more time he spends with her, the more he seems to want a different future than the one he always planned on. Until they’re found out, and he’s forced to choose between his demons and the disapproval of his closest friends … or her.
Tagging Up is the final book in Carrie’s Callahan series and she ends it on a bang!
If you read any of the previous books in this series (you do not have to), then you will have gotten glimpses of Clark. But this book delves a lot deeper into him, his past and who he really is.
Anna is probably one of my favorite heroines from Carrie. She is very level headed, strong in her beliefs and love that she sticks to her guns. I love that she speaks her mind, but does it with maturity.
Clark and Anna have immediate sparks when they bump into one another one night at the bar. They both know of each other due to her family. But Anna has always been off-limits to Clark because of her family. But for one night, he can agree to a no-strings attached night of fun.
I love this story so much. Carrie delivers a beautiful story full of growth in so many aspects. Clark and Anna are two characters that were just made for one another. They truly balance one another and their connection is one-of-a-kind. And let me tell you, these two are off the charts hot!!
Another great book from Carrie Aarons!
Meet Carrie Aarons
Author of romance novels such as Fool Me Twice and Love at First Fight, Carrie Aarons writes books that are just as swoon-worthy as they are sarcastic. A former journalist, she prefers the love stories of her imagination, and the athleisure dress code, much better.
When she isn’t writing, Carrie is busy binging reality TV, having a love/hate relationship with cardio, and trying not to burn dinner. She’s a Jersey girl living in Texas with her husband, daughter, son, and Great Dane/Lab rescue.
Five hockey players, a cabin in the woods . . . and little old me, Winnie Berlin.
Sounds like the start of a fantasy, right? But it’s not. It’s my reality.
It all started when I got lost in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. A wicked thunderstorm sent my car mud sliding into a ditch and for a girl whose survival skills involve finding the nearest Starbucks, I was in deep trouble.
Forced to abandon my car in search of help, I stumbled upon a cabin in the middle of nowhere. Soaking wet, irritated, and in desperate need of a hot shower, I knocked on the door for help only to be greeted by five boisterous, burly, and insanely attractive men.
Not just men.
Professional hockey players.
I hit the motherload of fantasies, right? Wrong.
Because as it turns out, one of them is my ex-boyfriend’s half-brother. And when I end up crashing in their spare bedroom for the night, things take a very unexpected turn.
I’m not sure any amount of survival skills can protect my heart from Vancouver Agitators star goalie, Pacey Lawes. But as long as we kiss and don’t tell, maybe everything will be okay . . .

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, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys live music, traveling, anything heavy in carbs, beach days, movie marathons, craft beer and sweet wine — not necessarily in that order.

This is only the second book I have ever read by Karla Sorensen. Why has no one ever recommended her books to me before?!? WHY???
The Lie is another smashing hit for me from Karla. I could not read this book fast enough. I loved these characters so much; I love, love, love Faith – she just made me smile so hard so much. Gah! LOVE HER!! Dominic had me on edge at the beginning. I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about him in the end. But I definitely warmed up to him as the story progressed.
I loved everything about this book. The romance, all the feels but also the tidbits of angst thrown in. And the banter – so much amazing banter between Faith and Dominic. I loved the cute “you’ve got mail” twist in this story. It was a nice addition to the story.
I could tell that there characters from other series in this book, but it did not effect this story in any way. If anything, it just makes me want to go back and read those stories.
Karla has truly earned herself another fan and reader in me. I love that this story was so much more than a sports romance. I enjoyed the family aspects, the growth in these characters and how genuine everything felt. Karla truly knows how write a story with many layers and weave them altogether beautifully. I cannot wait for the next book!!
Major player – both on the field and with the ladies.
I hate him.
Well, not really. I resist his so-called charms because I recognize them. We’re a lot alike, Caleb and I. He’s afraid of commitment? Me too. A giant flirt? Same here. He knows how to party? I am the absolute queen of the party.
Until I realize it’s time for me to grow up and become a responsible adult. I’ll be student teaching next year, so to save money, I move in with my two new roommates — Eli Bennett and Caleb. Then I find a summer job — where Caleb works. Soon, I’m spending almost every single day with the guy.
He’s growing on me too. We’ve always had this unspoken chemistry brewing between us. When we finally give in to it, it’s just as spectacular as I secretly predicted. The sex, and everything else, keeps getting better and better between us too.
But can I really take this guy seriously? Or am I only setting myself up to fail?

he Junior is Monica’s next book in her College Years series. Each book can be read as a standalone as each focus on one couple each time. However, all characters make appearances in each book. I personally would recommend reading The Sophomore before reading this one to get a better understanding of Caleb and Gracie and how they got to where they are at the start of this book.
The Junior was definitely not a let down when it came to the sexual tension and banter between Caleb and Gracie. The angst was off the charts with the push and pull between these two. I really can’t say too much without giving a lot away.
Monica wrote this book beautifully. She kept her characters solid and yet also showed their growth to. I loved that she never made them who they weren’t, just to make a storyline.
The Junior is another great addition to the College Years and I cannot wait for The Senior to release.
