Because I Want You by Claire Contreras is now live!
From New York Times bestseller Claire Contreras comes a new, sexy standalone mafia romance novel…
Roselyn Vega –
When Gabriel De Luca waltzed into the nightclub where I was bartending, looking like he’d just stepped out of the pages of GQ Magazine: Wall Street Edition, it felt like fate.
I hadn’t seen him in ten years, but it felt like no time had passed between us. He’d been my first boyfriend, and I trusted him, so when he asked me how I ended up bartending for one of the most feared crime bosses, I told him everything. After that night, he went MIA, and suddenly, I’m very concerned for both our safety.
When he finally shows up, a week later, he’s acting different, walking different, and even looks a little different, but I’m so relieved that he’s okay that I barely register those things.
A couple of nights later, when he breaks into my apartment in the middle of the night I realize that it wasn’t Gabriel who’d walked into the club the other night, but his brother. His infuriating, domineering, dangerous brother, who, unlike Gabriel, followed their father’s footsteps into the world of organized crime. He demands that I pack my bags and go with him. I refuse, fight and argue, but the thing about Dominic De Luca is that one way or another, he always gets his way.
Dominic De Luca –
There’s a code between brothers. I should know. I have a lot of them.
Don’t lie.
Don’t steal from each other.
Don’t f each other’s women *without permission*.
This particular situation made that last one a little less black and white because my brother, my first best friend, the guy who shared a womb with me, failed to tell me that the bartender he’d been seeing was Roselyn Vega. Of course, he wouldn’t tell me. Now the voice message he left before he completely disappeared makes sense. “Take care of her. Don’t f her.”
Usually, that wouldn’t be a problem (read: the code), but it’s a little tricky this time. You see, Rosie was mine before he took her from me ten years ago, and many things have changed during that time. I’ve changed, my circumstances have changed, but my confounding, obnoxious crush on Rosie? Yeah, that’s still the same. He left her in my care and warned me not to do anything, but I’m not making any promises.
**Because I Want You is a complete standalone novel set in the same world as Because You’re Mine and Because I Need You

Because I Want You is the third book in Claire’s Because series and WOW!!
No surprise here that I loved this book. Every new book that Claire releases, her writing just gets better and better.
This book may be a part of a series but it can be easily read as a standalone. And I can attest because my dumbass has not read the first two – I swear I will rectify that!!
Because I Want You is a mafia romance that features Rosie and Dominic. Let me tell you, the tension and chemistry between them is fire!!
I want to say so much and yet so little because I do not want to give anything away. I will just leave you with this:
Rosie is a fiery woman who’s very loyal to her family. Dominic is the twin she always avoided growing up and now after ten years, Dom has re-entered her life and isn’t really giving her the option of staying away. Add in the all the very well written suspenseful mafia portions and this book is a live wire in so many ways.
Even if you have not started this series, grab this book. It will make you want to go back and read the first two afterwards. I know, because that’s what I’m doing.
Because I Want You is another book from Claire that you cannot pass up on.

Northern Stars by Brittainy Cherry is now live!
Hollywood’s biggest star first belonged to me.
Breaking up with your high school sweetheart was one thing.
Breaking up with Hollywood’s favorite actor? That was a different situation.
I’d been in love with Aiden Walters since I was a little girl. We’d grown up as neighbors in small town Wisconsin. I knew him inside and out, and he knew every single piece of me. I was there when his career took off, and I was almost certain I’d always be a part of his life.
It wasn’t until a scandal broke out that I was forced to end things with Aiden. He didn’t take it very well. The boy I once loved began to hate me. He went off to California to leave all of his past behind—including me.
Five years later, he was back in town for the next few months taking care of some family business. He was staying in the only hotel in our small town. The hotel I now oversaw. For the next few months, I’d be forced to cater to the man whose heart I’d broken all those years ago. The man who resented me. The man who swore he’d never speak to me again.
Now that he was back in town, in constant connection with me, I had to keep reminding myself daily of why I ended things with him in the first place. Otherwise, I’d find myself falling in love with him all over again. Only this time, I was certain that if I fell, he wouldn’t be willing to catch me.

Brittainy has written another swoon-worthy book in her Compass series!!
Northern Stars is a really sweet, friends to lovers, second chance romance.
Hailee and Aiden grew up as next door neighbors that became best friends who became more. It seemed liked nothing could tear them apart.
Aiden was an up and coming Hollywood star but he refused to become that cliché Hollywood star. When the media got wind that he was dating a girl from his hometown, the rumors started and as much as he wanted to protect her, there are some things that he couldn’t protect her from….
Fast forward five years later and he’s returning to his hometown for a much needed break. Aiden is now Hollywood’s IT guy and Hailee is running the inn where he will be staying at. They haven’t spoken to one another in five years and they both try their best to keep that going.
Brittainy has this uncanny way with her writing that readers are so easily able to connect with her characters. Her characters are so real and authentic, you can feel every emotion and empathize with them. I love that Brittainy is able to write emotionally charge stories without any unnecessary drama.
Northern Stars is another knock-out book from Brittainy.

When Nicole said that she was releasing a book that was nothing like she had ever written before, she was not lying – at all.
Dawn of Plagues is a post-apocalyptic world where the remaining humans have been divided in two “groups”; those who serve and those who rule. But there is an uprising in the air, but the story of getting there is one that Nicole crafted brilliantly in this book.
Nicole created and brought this world to life straight from the words on each page. I was immediately consumed by her words, the development of these places described so impeccably, you could visualize their despair and beauty at the same time.
Lyv, Tek, Sanders, Hoc, Bes, Dar and so many more – all of her characters were brilliantly written. Even when the book is written from Lyv’s POV the entire time, you could feel and sense the emotions and convictions of others through either their mannerisms or their words.
Dawn of Plagues came to life in so many ways for me. I hadn’t expected to be moved to tears while reading this book, and yet because of Nicole’s talented writing, I was so engrossed in the scene and the characters, I felt tears stream down my face at one point. But throughout this book and with every character, I felt their passion and their purpose. Hell, I even laughed at some the levity that Nicole brilliantly wove into this fiery book.
I took away so much from this book, but I want to leave you all with a few (of many) snippets that stood out for me:
“When people look outward for a hero, they forget to look inward for the one that dwells there.”
“No greater atrocities have been committed than those in the name of righteousness.”
“I don’t live in the absence of fear, I act in spite of it.”
“There was not greater evil in the world than a man who embraced the dark when he recognized the light.”
I could truly go on and one with this book. I can’t tell you the amount of highlights and notes I have from reading this book. I loved every morsel that Nicole wrote.
A Nicole said, this is nothing like she has written before; there is no romance in this book. But it showcases her talent by writing an intricate story with characters that will weave into your being. This story may be told from one character’s POV, but you will understand it from every character’s conviction.
Dawn of Plagues is one book that will stick with me. I have read many post-apocalyptic books but very few have etched their way into my soul. Even if you aren’t a fan of this genre, read this book. I promise you won’t regret it.

Carrie Aarons has revealed the cover
for Once Forbidden, Twice Shy!
Releasing September 23, 2022
Running from your problems only brings you hurtling face first into even worse baggage.
After experiencing a brutal trauma in New York that I’d rather bury than address, escaping to a new job in London seems like the perfect solution. That was before I was introduced to my new boss, who is none other than my brother’s best friend. You know, the one I’ve been head-over-heels in love with forever.
Jack Merrick had been my crush since I knew what one was. For years we fought the feelings; I didn’t want to humiliate myself and his excuse was not betraying my brother or parents, who had accepted him as their own. Then, the night of my college graduation party, he undressed me in my childhood bedroom and confirmed that there was no one else on this earth for him but me.
When I woke the next morning he was gone, off to take a job as a coder halfway around the world. Four years and a mangled heart later, Jack is the last person I expect to see in London, and something close to fate is tricking me into thinking this is more than a coincidence. Our shared love of programming has always connected us, but now it’s the thing we’re weaponizing to get back at each other.
Until one night, when the emotional scars from my attack resurface and he’s the only one to witness a massive breakdown. He coaxes out my secrets and swears to love and protect me like he couldn’t before. But with everything stacked against us, I’m not sure we can ever have what we’ve always dreamed of.
Except just as we’re beginning to tackle those obstacles, I learn the truth of why he left all those years ago. And suddenly there may be no future for us at all.

50 Ways to Win Back Your Lover
by Kelly Siskind is now live!
From Kelly Siskind comes a slow-burn romantic comedy about one man’s creative attempt to win back his high school sweetheart after a change in fortune gives them a second chance at love.
Growing up, I had it all—my art, close friends, a gorgeous girlfriend who owned my heart—but then my life exploded.
Turns out my father was laundering money, and my whole family got shoved into witness protection. No notice. No chance to explain. I was ripped away from beautiful, blue-eyed Delilah Moon, shattering both our worlds.
A decade later, fate has given us a second chance.
The cartel my father worked for has been wiped out. I’ve returned to my hometown, determined to win back the love of my life. But Delilah is engaged.
Or . . . is she?
I’m almost positive she’s lying about her fiancé to protect her heart. Which means I need to up my game.
I’ve made a list of fifty ways to prove we’re meant to be. Except Delilah’s barely looking at me, never mind swooning. I have a feeling my disappearance scarred her more than she’s admitting, and no one in town will tell me what happened . . .

I can’t remember the last time I read a book that was told solely from the male’s POV. Bravo Kelly on nailing your character’s voice.
This was definitely a slow-burn romance. Lots of groveling, alot of memories being rekindled and just watching two loves rekindle their romance.
Kelly has to do a lot of plot development for this entire series in this first book and introduce all the characters too without taking away from the main plot of this book. While it was great and reads perfectly, it definitely wasn’t holding my interest as much as I had hoped. I wasn’t itching to turn the pages til about 60% of the book.
I truly loved watching Edgar grow in this book. He’s literally lived a lie for the last ten years and now he can finally be himself again. It’s really difficult thing to do when everyone else has moved on.
Edgar and Delilah’s story is filled with lots of emotions. I went from laughter to sadness and then grinning like a cheeseball. These two have a connection that is once-in-a-lifetime and you can feel that coming off the pages. And not sure the author meant to do this or not, but the name of a resort in this book made me think of the movie Dirty Dancing. I enjoyed that whether is was a nod to that movie or not.
While this one started off a bit slow for me, it definitely didn’t deter me from continuing. I loved their story and I can’t wait to read the rest of the Bower brothers.
