Abbie Roads has always been able to pull me in immediately with her stories. Defying Evil is no different. However, it did not hold my attention like her other books.

Defying Evil is a thriller book with a bit of trauma bonding added in. The “romance” part of this book is what moves at fast pace, which makes the overall book move at fast pace. I felt like the thriller parts were too short and the development of Mercy was a bit lacking.

I love Abbie’s writing style and it’s why I continued on with this story, but this book had a lot of potential to be so much better.

I did enjoy Cain’s backstory and how he’s been able to overcome his horrendous past and move forward. I loved the otherworldly aspect of both Cain and Mercy’s abilities and how Abbie weaved them together into the story.

Overall, it was just an ok read for me. I know Abbie has the ability to dig deeper so this would be a great book for new readers to her work.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Dreadful by Greer Rivers

by Courtney

Dreadful by Greer Rivers is now live! 

A dark, modern, romantic retelling of Sweeney Todd with a Medusa twist and a happy ever after.
Their revenge is sweet… their love is unhinged.

Fifteen years ago, a girl sacrificed her life for mine. Ever since, justice is all I’ve wanted.

Then Talia entered the stage.

I’m the barber’s son. The Boss’s nephew. 

A prince without a throne and only revenge to fuel me.

She’s the bakers’ granddaughter. Sweet Tallie. 

Their dolce nipotina. My vipera.

My desires have always stopped at vengeance. She’s made me want more. But my vendetta will destroy everything in my path, and I won’t risk bringing her into my world. 

I never suspected she’d snake her way in on her own.

I craved a bite of her sugar and spice, but my little vipera is fangs and venom.

Now all I want is to be bitten. 

DREADFUL is a dark, revenge mafia retelling of Sweeney Todd, Hamlet, and Medusa, set in modern-day Boston and a complete STANDALONE in the Tattered Curtain Series. Guaranteed HEA. This story DOES have triggers so please check the author’s website for TW.

Why have I not been told about this series before now?? And why has no one told me about Greer Rivers before now!??!

A dark, mafia romantic retelling of fairytales is my jam!! Dreadful contains that with Sweeney Todd, but also includes some Hamlet and Medusa – HELLO!! FREAKING PHENONMENAL!!

That’s really all my review should be. FREAKING PHENONMENAL!!

Greer weaves one hell of retelling with the perfect dark undertones in this mafia story. Talia’s story is not an easy one – what she endured as a child will leave you enraged. And Sever – he has no idea what he’s gotten himself into when he sees her working at the local bakery.

I won’t give any details away. Just read the blurb and go in from there. It is dark story and Greer’s writing is very intense. Right from the start, Greer’s writing just creates such vivid, graphic scenes and it allows readers to empathize with the characters and understand their actions.

I absolutely loved this book. I love Talia and Sever, and not just their chaotic relationship, but how they create their own story in the end.

“𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐲. 𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐯𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞.”

ALL THE STARS!!!!!

Release Day Blitz & Review…Shattered Sun by Persephone Autumn

by Courtney
 Release Date: October 17

 

When your heart was split in two, how did you choose who to love more?

 

As a young girl, I never imagined a day without Benjamin Wilks by my side. Ben had been more than my best friend. He’d been my person. The ordinary to my quirky. The smart to my foolish. The quiet to my loud. Regardless how opposite we were in personality, together we clicked.

 

Then tragedy struck and changed my life forever. And when Mom could no longer bear the memories our house held, she moved us to Stone Bay. For years, I rebelled. Spilled my hurt in the form of ugly words.

 

In time, I healed and learned to love the lavish small town and the people that called it home. In its borders, I met my soul sisters. I made a life for myself. And I had the attention of the hottest police officer in town.

 

Travis Emerson was more than an attractive man with a badge. Travis was part of the Stone Bay Seven—the town’s founding families—and that title came with responsibility. Though we flirted daily, our relationship never evolved beyond friendship.

 

Then Ben showed up in Stone Bay and swept me off my feet. Literally. In response, Travis growled his displeasure and all but claimed me in front of the town gossip mill.

 

One anonymous, disturbing note later, I learned Ben and Travis weren’t the only ones vying for my attention. Days after that, when the body of a woman was discovered in the woods, the whispers around town regarding my love triangle fizzled out. In its place… townsfolk claimed I resembled the lifeless woman.

 

Determined to protect me, Travis inserted himself more in my life. And my heart. But as I rekindled my relationship with Ben, I learned it was possible to love more than one person.

 

Before it’s too late, I needed to decide which of them I loved more. Because time wasn’t on my side.

 

Grab Your Copy Here! 

Shatter Sun is my first book by Persephone Autumn and the first book in her newest series, Stone Bay.

I really enjoyed this romantic suspense. Persephone does a great job of blending the romance with stalker suspense and not taking away from either aspect throughout the book.

This is a love triangle, but not in a terrible way. Kirsten and Ben were best friends before her mom moved them away after a tragic accident.

Fast forward many years, and now Kirsten is a waitress at the local diner, and over her time working there, she has struck up a flirtatious relationship with Travis, a local police officer. It never goes beyond the flirting, but the chemistry is definitely there.

Ben happens to come into her hometown for work and finds her working at the diner when he and his crew stop in breakfast. And seeing these two together is like coming home. I loved it so much.

Suddenly, both men are vying for her attention, but then her stalker also comes into the mix. I love how Persephone weaves all of this together – the suspense, the chemistry, and spice – just all of it flowed nicely. What I loved even more was that it became obvious who Kirsten was going to choose.

Shattered Sun is a great start to this new series and definitely a great first read by this author for me. I am looking forward to more from this series.

 

Meet Persephone Autumn 

 

USA Today Best Selling Author Persephone Autumn lives in sunny Florida with her wife, crazy dog, and two lover-boy cats, and she’s never far from her daughter or grandpup.

For several years, she’s always done some form of writing. After pairing her poetry with images and posting them on social media, she received peer praise and started her novel writing journey.

 

Although her core style is romance, Persephone dips her toes in other genres from time to time. All stories deserve for their voice to be heard and she plans to write where the characters lead her.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Madame by Sara Cate

by Courtney
 Release Date: October 12

They think they know me, but they have no idea.

 
As a professional Madame, I see men and women come and go. But no one ever sticks around, and I like it that way. 
 
I have a secret to protect—at all costs.
 
So when the cocky, handsome, and submissive Clay Bradley weasels his way into my heart, I do the one thing I’ve always excelled at. I push him away—forever.
 
And like a good boy, he listens.
 
But a few months later, during a chance encounter, he shows up again, but this time he isn’t alone. 
 
He has the stunning Jade on his arm. 
 
And she has a request of her own. She wants me to teach her. 
 
I should say no. 
 
Training a woman who makes my knees weak is bad enough. But this particular woman is dating the man who still has my heart. It’s a recipe for disaster.
 
Made worse by one simple thing: they know my secret.
 
And they won’t let go. 
 
But how can I protect what’s mine if I’m holding onto them too?
 
Jade and Clay are the only ones who truly see me and the only ones who know…
 
I’m so much more than a Madame.

Meet Sara Cate

 

Let’s skip the boring About the Author bit where I tell you how I’m a USA Today bestselling author who lives in Arizona with her kids, husband, and dog and enjoys baking in my free time. Boring.  

 

Instead, I’d like you to know I strive to be a taboo and forbidden romance author who dares to tell stories with heart-wrenching plot and toe-curling heat.

 

My passion in life is to normalize a reading experience that pushes boundaries and empowers women to own their sexuality. Things that trigger my soapbox rants are discrediting the romance industry or belittling its readers by calling it “trash.” You’ve been warned. I could quite literally go on for days.  

 

I like to take risks and write from the heart. And I want nothing more than to be an author readers trust to deliver books that are steamy AF but with a strong storyline and well-rounded characters.

 

What is The Sara Cate Experience?

The Sara Cate Experience means being pulled into a story and escaping reality a little bit for romances that are as emotional as they are arousing. The feelings are strong and the steam is scorching. There is never one without the other because when sex and love come together, it’s fireworks.

Release Day Blitz & Review…The Problem With Dating by Brittainy Cherry

by Courtney

The Problem with Dating by Brittainy Cherry is now live! 

If I had to choose a person to hate, Alex Ramírez would’ve been first on the list…

Welcome to Honey Creek, Illinois, where life was as sweet as the town’s name suggested. That was, until Mr. Fine Dining himself, Alex Ramírez, rolled into town with a permanent scowl and decided to park his snooty five-star restaurant across from my cozy dog daycare. He was tall, dark, and about as warm as a frozen entrée.

After one too many unpleasant interactions, I was determined to stay out of his way and to keep him out of mine.

But fate had a quirky sense of humor. When Alex inherited his great-aunt’s cranky canine, he had no choice but to come to me, the local dog whisperer, for help. As for me? I needed a fake boyfriend to ward off my ex-husband, who was determined to win me back.

So, we struck a deal: I’d turn his dog into the town’s best-behaved pet, and in return, he’d be my arm candy for a few family events and social gatherings. Simple, uncomplicated, and absolutely not romantic—at least, that was what we told ourselves.

As we played house, I couldn’t help but notice that underneath Alex’s prickly shell was a dash of charm that wasn’t listed in the ingredients. Our pretend dates started to feel a little too real. And our feigned kisses? They were getting laughably close to crossing the line. Suddenly our interactions felt less like a food fight and more like foreplay.

With every playful touch and lingering glance, I couldn’t help but wonder: Was this fake relationship with Alex secretly penning its own authentic ending? Or was I risking it all for something that was nothing more than make-believe?

There has not been a book Brittainy has written that I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed.

The Problem With Dating is a really enjoyable grumpy/sunshine romance with the right touch of humor added in.

I enjoyed watching the dynamics between Yara and Alex play out as I read this book. It felt natural watching two completely opposite people learn to navigate the other and slowly become more than they either could have guessed.

Brittainy truly has this amazing talent that makes her story feel so realistic. While I had some issues of my own with this story, overall I absolutely enjoyed it and loved both Yara and Alex.

Another amazing story by Brittainy that readers will absolutely love.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Darkest Need by Rachel Van Dyken

by Courtney
To touch a Dark One is certain death…to fall in love with one of them might just be your salvation.

Darkest Need, an all-new page-turning Dark Ones novella from New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken, is available now!

I see everything. I feel everything.
I watch people fall in love. I watch them burn with hate, anger, rage, and I see the cycle repeat over and over again. I take it on every night I work at Timber, aka Anubis’s bar in downtown Seattle, and then I help the rest of the immortals keep the very intense balance between Heaven and Earth.

I see everyone’s future but mine, and when I try to look, all I see is darkness, despair, need…

Until she walks into my bar with bruises on her face, getting pulled by one of the lesser demons. I do what any good bartender would do… I beat him within an inch of his life and turn my eyes to her.
By then, it’s too late.
She already has me in her grasp.
A succubus that has no other plan than to suck me clean of every inch of power that’s been bestowed on me by the Heavens.

I never thought my future involved getting kidnapped and tied up or that I’d die by way of sex—then again, maybe that’s for the best. Dying at the hands of my enemy rather than being one more burden to my already mated friends.

After all, giving into one last need before death, while selfish, may be exactly what my darkness means.

My need is great.
And she’s about to find out just how much.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Keep reading for a look inside Darkest Need!

Listen, I know I have chains wrapped strategically around my wrists and that every second that goes by, said chains are burning a mark into my skin that may or may not mean I’m about to get completely demolished by a succubus demon.
But this is not how the story starts.
I mean, maybe it’s how it ends since I’ve been in this exact spot for the last two days without food or water, waiting for a rescue from my immortal friends, knowing full well they’re probably all just having sex and enjoying marital bliss without realizing I’m actually missing.
Me.
The manager of the Seattle demon bar, Sin.
Werewolf prince.
All around really upright kind of guy—or so I like to think. But do you know where that got me?
Here.
Chained.
See also: Demon goddess who has not come back to check on me even once and says she wants to kill me via sex.
Bartending is looking great right now. Immortal life in my werewolf clan did not prepare me for this or the fact that saving one succubus would actually turn me into her prey.
She was bruised.
Beaten beyond recognition.
I was going to kill the vampire that attempted to slaughter her, but that’s a longer, more violent story since she ended up doing the deed once she got a bit of my blood. But I did give her water, thinking, wow, I’ve done this person a total solid. I mean, despite the fact that she was pretty. Even her tears were pretty. The bruising and swelling on her face didn’t even hide how beautiful she was—or is.
Maybe my first wrong act was comforting her. Because the minute we touched, her eyes flashed a creepy red, and well…see also actual burning handcuffs around my wrists.
It’s clearly been a fun forty-eight hours. Maybe she’ll make it quick, though a weird part of me kind of wants my last few moments being sucked dry via sex to last for a while, so long that it’s all I focus on, all I care about, all I see.
I see visions of the future, but I never saw this.
So, strap in because I’m sure it’s going to be a great story. I just may not make it all the way to the end with you.

I devoured this quickly and thoroughly enjoyed this one.

If you have read any of RVD’s previous books in this series (The Dark Ones), you will absolutely love this novella. For new readers to this series, certain things may seem a bit confusing and feel overwhelmed, but just keep reading.

I absolutely loved Tarek & Lilith’s story. It was exactly what I needed.

New readers will get an idea on how all these characters relate to one another and because you will see how the secondary characters care for him, you get an idea of who he is. Lilith is bit harder to connect to but Rachel does a fairly good job of explaining her purpose.

Overall, a nice novella introducing all the characters in this series and supporting Tarek and his story.

She’s a domestic goddess who’s never met a party she couldn’t host or a charge she couldn’t lead. The one with all the answers and the perfect vinaigrette for that summer salad. But none of her varied talents can save her when catastrophe strikes, and the life she built with the man who was supposed to be her forever, goes poof in a cloud of betrayal and disillusion.

But then an unlikely man enters the picture—the forbidden one, the one she shouldn’t want but can’t seem to resist. She’s lost it all before and refuses to repeat her mistakes. Can she trust him? Can she trust herself?

After all she’s lost . . .and found . . .can she be brave enough to make room for what could be?

When my best friend’s little sister walks in on me moaning her name, it’s all over. All restraints are shattered, and every boundary demolished. Nothing will be the same…

For years, I’ve tried to keep my distance from Dakota Cooper. She’s everything I’ve ever wanted and the one thing I can’t have.


But when she calls me in the middle of the night after someone tries to break into her house, I can no longer handle that distance, and I convince her to stay with me, along with her young son.


I should have known having her living under my roof would push me to the edge. Ignite the need that has simmered for so long.


The problem is, she’s forbidden. Off-limits. And I know better than crossing that line.
I can’t drag her into the dark secrets of my life.


But I can’t stay away from her either, so I do the one thing I shouldn’t—I take.
And now that I’ve had her, I’m not sure I can save her from who I am. . .


What to expect in Don’t Forget Me Tomorrow…

Cover Reveal…Through the Glen by Samantha Young

by Courtney

Samantha Young has revealed the gorgeous cover for Through the Glen!

Releasing: March 7, 2024

Cover Design: Hang Le

Photographer: Regina Wamba

He’s a cynical, world-weary Londoner. She’s a shy Scot. They might seem like opposites, but a few weeks in the Highlands will bring them together in ways they can’t imagine…



Theo Cavendish is the second son of a British viscount, and he’s spent years running from the aristocratic world he grew up in. Betrayal and loss taught him lessons he’s not quick to forget. As an award-winning screenwriter and creator, Theo prefers to throw himself into the world of film and television. He moves from one project to another, never really letting anyone truly know him.

As a housekeeper at the exclusive Ardnoch Estate, shy Sarah McCulloch feels invisible most days. No one really knows her, and they definitely don’t know she’s a bestselling crime writer. She dreams of seeing her series on screen and believes only one person can develop it for television. On the day she quits the estate for good, she shares her secret with club member, Theo, and asks him to consider her books.

Sarah never expected him to say yes or to show up on her doorstep ready to write with her. Or that weeks spent locked up in her cottage would lead them to form an intense but undeniable connection. A bond that Theo is not sure he’s ready to accept, even though he can’t bear to be without her.
However, when they finally venture out of their bubble, Theo finds he’ll have to battle more than his own demons to protect Sarah from hurt. For he’s got another fan, one intent on bringing the darkest elements of his most famous script to life. And unless he can figure out this real-life antagonist’s next move, Theo could be in danger of losing Sarah forever.

Release Day Blitz & Review…I Wish I Knew Then by Jessica Peterson

by Courtney

I Wish I Knew Then by Jessica Peterson is now live! 

My grandmother has a saying: what’s done in the dark always comes to light, especially in small towns with big secrets. And I was hiding the biggest secret of them all.

Every summer I spent growing up at my grandparents’ coastal estate was the same. Same cousins. Same chaos. Same long golf cart rides along the beach.

But everything changed the summer I turned eighteen, when my grandparents’ new housekeeper moved in with her son, Riley. With his big personality and head-turning looks, he was the local heartthrob.

We fell in love instantly. Riley was my first everything. First love. First time.

And my first heartbreak when he dumped me at the end of the summer.

Ten years later, I’m back on the island for my best friend’s wedding as her maid of honor. Who’s the first person I literally stumble into?

Riley Dixon. Even worse? He’s the groom’s best man, and a self-made billionaire to boot.

Being forced to spend an entire week together for wedding festivities quickly leads to more: hot hate sex, late nights of sneaking out, and unexpected revelations. The boy I knew a decade ago is gone, and the hate becomes…something else entirely. And I begin to wonder if Riley is hiding some secrets of his own.

I WISH I KNEW THEN is a small town, standalone romance. It is the first book in the Harbour Village Series.

first book by Jessica and I am hooked!! I Wish I Knew Then is the start of her newest series, Harbor Village, and a perfect book for new readers to Jessica.

I don’t even know where to start this review. The characters, the town, the writing – it was all so perfect.

I want to live in Harbor Village and have all these characters be my neighbors. I love their camaraderie, their appreciation for one another and the all-around support they have. GAH!! I loved it all.

Riley and Lu met one summer when Riley’s mom worked for Lu’s family. They are from completely different backgrounds and yet that did not stop them from falling in love with one another. Bad decisions are made and it’s ten years before they meet again, unexpectedly. But the flames and chemistry are still there and burning hot!!

Jessica truly knows how to write a slow burn that is blazing hot! I could not get enough of Riley and Lu. These two have a lot to work through but sometimes love does conquer all. And let me know tell, these two do not hold back when to another in so many ways. The spice is WOW!!

I loved, loved this story. I loved Riley and Lu’s love and I loved their passion for one another. And I absolutely adore this town and it’s inhabitants. I cannot wait to read more from this series.

Jessica Peterson writes romance with heat, humor, and heart. Heroes with hot accents are her specialty. When she’s not writing, she can be found bellying up to a bar in the south’s best restaurants with her husband Ben, reading books with her adorable daughter Gracie, or snuggling up with her 70-pound lap dog, Martha.

A Carolina girl at heart, she fantasizes about splitting her time between Charleston and Asheville, but currently lives in Charlotte, NC.
