Frankie’s story continues in this second book in the Frozen Fate trilogy by Pam Godwin.

Frankie and her ruthless protectors conquered unspeakable evil. But their fight to escape the hills of shivers and shadows is far from over.

Stranded in Alaska, survival becomes paramount against starvation, hypothermia, and the dangerous predators lurking outside their isolated cabin.

Sharing precious body heat with her viciously possessive men presents another challenge. She must navigate not only the brutal arctic tundra but also the intricacies of polyamorous love to ensure they make it out alive.

Tensions rise as the ice thickens, and their only hope rests on a plane they can’t fly.

Unless they unlock the secrets hidden beneath its wings in a cage of ice and echoes.

Author Bio

New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author, Pam Godwin, lives in the Midwest with her husband, cats, retired greyhounds, and an old, foul-mouthed parrot. She traveled the world for seven years, attended three universities, married the vocalist of her favorite rock band, and retired from her quantitative analyst career in 2014 to write full-time.

Her interests veer toward the unconventional: bourbon, full-body tattoos, and tragic villains. Equally peculiar are her aversions to sleeping, eating meat, and dolls with blinking eyes.

Release Day Blitz & Review…The Love You Fight For by Brit Benson

by Courtney

THE LOVE YOU FIGHT FOR

Brit Benson

Release Date: March 15

Blurb:

The mask she wears for the world is flawless.
But I want the mess that she hides underneath.

Samantha Harper is untouchable.

She’s the closest thing we have to royalty in my small town.
Daughter of a senator.
Richer than sin.
Classy, elegant, and
Ice cold.

She’s my polar opposite.
And unfortunately,
She’s exactly my type.

Too bad royalty doesn’t fraternize with peasants.

Until one night,
Samantha Harper finds herself at my mercy,
and the temptation to dirty up her flawless facade is too great.

When her perfect mask slips,
It’s not an ice princess I find beneath,
But a warrior in war-torn armor.
A snake in queen’s clothing.

All it takes is one night, and I’m determined.
She will never have to fight another battle alone.

***

The Love You Fight For is the third book in the Next Life world.
It has a guaranteed HEA.
While The Love You Fight For can be read as a standalone, it is recommended that you first read the Next Life duet to fully appreciate the story.

A detailed list of Content Warnings can be found on the author’s website.

Available in KU

I did not read the first two books in this series and I did not once feel lost or misunderstand the bonds between every one of these characters. I was fully engrossed and enamored by these characters and knowing that if I read the first two books would make me fully appreciate the story – I just can’t comprehend that because I absolutely more than fully appreciated this story. But I did buy the first two books just so I could read about Macon and Lennon’s story.

“I want a true north kind of love.”

The Love You Fight For was everything I had not realized I needed right now. From Sam’s fierce and resolute determination to fight her own battles to Chris’s unwavering protectiveness and loyalty to Sam – my heart and soul were right there with these two through the entire book.

“Let me be your peace.”

Brit truly knows how to well developed characters with many facets to them all the while delivering a plot that keeps readers right at the edge the whole time. Brit does a phenomenal job of intertwining the romance with the suspense of this story and keeping things engaging.

“What better way to take down dangerous men than with the very monster they created.”

I cannot express how much I loved this book and how it just brought out every emotion in me and just fully immersed me in the story and these characters’ lives. Definitely a top 2024 read for me.

Meet Brit Benson:

Brit Benson writes real, relatable romance. She likes outspoken, independent heroines, dirty talking, love-struck heroes, and plots that get you right in the feels.

Brit would almost always rather be reading or writing. When she’s not dreaming up her next swoony book boyfriend and fierce book bestie, she’s getting lost in someone else’s fictional world. When she’s not doing that, she’s probably marathoning a Netflix series or wandering aimlessly up and down the aisles in Homegoods, sniffing candles and touching things she’ll never buy.

Release Day Blitz…Down Broken Lane by Amber Hart

by Courtney

DOWN BROKEN LANE by Amber Hart is now live!

Camille Ray only has three rules:
One, never let them find you.
Two, cover all tracks.
Three, don’t ache for another man again.

Camille is desperate to sever ties to the city she narrowly escaped, even if that means moving to the middle of nowhere. With a forged identity and a fresh start, she’s determined to lead a quiet life. Which means keeping her distance from her new neighbor. The very furthest thing from her mind is indulging in her taste for dangerous, handsome men.

Dawson McGill is on the run and in need of a place to stay. A haven cut out of the Smoky Mountains in a small, North Carolina town seems as good a refuge as any to lay his demons to rest.

But Camille and Dawson have more in common than their first encounter suggests. When both of their pasts come storming back into their lives, they must acknowledge the repercussions of every lie they ever told. Or reap the deadly consequences.

SOMETHING LIKE LOVE

Book 3

Monica James

The secret’s out…

Fate has never been kind to me, but the misfortunes of my past have driven me to seek redemption.

My future depends on uncovering my past, but sadly, the answers lay with my mother, a mother who abandoned me when I was only a child.

Now that I have finally found her, I’m determined to uncover the truth before my past catches up with me.

But that information comes with a price…

Quinn Berkeley is the sole reason I carry on. But Quinn has a secret of his own.

Will his secret destroy us both? And more importantly, what will Quinn’s secret do to him once he confesses the sins of his past?

Life is about to explode in a way I never thought possible…

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!!

Bio

Monica James spent her youth devouring the works of Anne Rice, William Shakespeare, and Emily Dickinson.

Cover Reveal…Marek by Bella Jewel

by Courtney

Bella Jewel has revealed the gorgeous cover for Marek!

Releasing: January 25, 2024

Cover Design: Ben Ellis – Pilcrow Design

My name is Ellie.
Ellie Mae, if you will.
Before you ask, no, it’s not a cruel joke.
My parents thought the name suited me, and well, here we are.
That’s the mildest part of my story, though.
Oh, hell, it doesn’t even scratch the surface.
I’m a dancer, and a good one at that.
I have a fiancé, one my parents picked out just for me, and a blossoming career.
Everything was going well, until I caught the eye of the wrong man.
He saw something in me, something the rest of the world was overlooking.
A talent that runs deeper than the surface.
He wants to make me a star, only his show isn’t the kind you dream of.
It’s dark, twisted and dangerous.
A world you could never begin to imagine.
Like a thief in the night, he takes me from everything I love.
He won’t let me go, not until I do the very thing he captured me for…
Dance.
Dance for a monster, live in a cage, be the perfect little puppet.
There is just one problem with that plan…
He has no idea who he is messing with.
But I can assure you, he’s about to find out.

Blurb

The Elite Kings Club left a trail of fear behind every person who whispered their names throughout the centuries that they’d existed. They were the product of every nightmare you were told as a child, only now, they don’t go bump in the night. They race modified cars, throw parties to conceal their morbid games, and leave behind the kind of chaos that can never be tamed.

They were from an ancient bloodline of the three Founding Fathers, and it was almost time for them to plunge deeper into the depths of hell. Now that they were all on their motherland, and even closer to an island with history as dark as it was ruthless, no one had a say in the carnage of what was to come. And in this case, with War and Halen. Until now, they were nothing but exactly as they appeared on the outside.

He was a brother’s best friend, and a boy Halen had never not known.

She was the daughter of one of the most feared families known to man, and the only girl who ever kindled his rage. They’d push and pull until it tore them apart…if only to feel the shell of their bodies close.

Halen knew crossing that line with him was dangerous ground, yet she yielded her weapon and did it anyway. But history was being challenged, and The Kings were about to learn that not all enemies are discovered on a battlefield.

Some are the ghosts of what was left behind.

She likes cake, loves wine, and her religion is magic (Slytherin). She’s a profound work-a-holic, but when she’s not writing, you can find her chilling with her kids & Husband at the nearest beach, with a cocktail in her hand.

Release Day Blitz & Review…From Hell by Mallory Fox

by Courtney

From Hell by Mallory Fox is now live!

I vowed to kill him, but he’s the one pulling the noose tight around my neck.
And I’m not sure I want to escape.

His name is Jack… but I’m the real ripper.

His soul-sucking gray eyes intrusively connect with mine until I’m truly and utterly seen, and he knows what I am. It’s then I know that we’re the same.

She would be fun to hunt. And kill. I can taste it in the air.

I love that she’s a psycho.
I’ve found myself a twisted little soulmate.

He slaughters women for fun.
I’m supposed to kill him, not kiss him.

“Don’t fall in love with a ripper.
Your heart won’t survive.”

My little fox is in the henhouse amongst the wolves.

Now I know who my sweet psycho is…
I can’t wait.

Every nerve is screaming that he’s here and he’s after me.

His eyes burn into mine. “Last chance to run, little fox.”

She’s a delight when she’s afraid, and then she bites.

I’ll harvest who the hell I like.
Starting with what’s mine…

“You’re twisted.”
He looks at me with steel grey eyes almost black. A twisted smile in place. “I’m not the only one.”

“Stalking?” He looks amused. “No, little fox, I’ve been watching you, protecting you, keeping what’s mine safe.”

“Little fox, I know your secret, and I’ve been waiting to eat you.

Loving Jack is like plunging into an icy river in the middle of winter–it takes your breath away and stops your heart. Only a kiss could bring you back to life.

How many sinners have you sent to Hell?
Just one. Myself.

I died and went to Hell. That’s the only explanation for my dark guardian Devil.
He sends me letters from Hell–his dead girl walking. It’s only a matter of time before he gives a cold, dark grave too.

I feel like I’m a broken mount, an abused animal, and he’s the fucking whisperer trying to soothe some sense into me. Annoyingly, it’s working.

Finally, an angelic grim reaper come to collect my fucked up soul.

I’ve already decided he’s either a spy or a serial killer. I’m not sure which I prefer. Either. Both.

Well this was quite the romantic suspense I thoroughly enjoyed.

I’ve never read anything before by Mallory but this blurb was too good to pass up- a story inspired by Jack the Ripper, I am in!!

From Hell is told from both the MC’s POVs – Jaxon and Laine. These two were quite an interesting pair to read about. These two are so different, yet so alike. I love them both separately and together.

Mallory does a really fantastic job of weaving one hell of crazy tale that involves murder, secrets and very dark scenes. Please read the author’s TWs as this book may not be for everyone.

And that’s it; that’s all I am saying.

If you love a good, dark suspenseful, dark read – definitely grab this one.

Meet Mallory Fox

Release Day Blitz…Dirty Crazy Bad: The Complete Collection by Siobhan Davis

by Courtney

In the secret society of The Luminaries, no sin will go unpunished…

Pride. Wrath. Lust. Envy. Greed. Gluttony. Sloth.

Dirty Crazy Bad, a dark, secret society, reverse harem romance from USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Siobhan Davis is available now in ebook, paperback, and audio. This set includes the prequel, Dirty Crazy Bad book 1, Dirty Crazy Bad book 2, and exclusive brand-new bonus content told from multiple character POVs.

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.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Something Like Redemption by Monica James

by Courtney

SOMETHING LIKE REDEMPTION

Book 2

Monica James

Some secrets are best left untold…

I escaped to the sleepy little town of South Boston, Virginia, with the

intent to be normal and find a place I could call home.

But my past has come back with a vengeance and forced me to run

yet again.

This time, however, I’m not alone…

Quinn and I are on the run, fleeing for our lives while attempting to prove

our innocence for a crime we did not commit.

But with a tainted past like mine, it was inevitable that one day, it would catch up to me in a way I never fathomed.

One ill-fated decision leads to an explosion of unimaginable events, forcing Quinn and me to not only run for our lives but also…for our redemption.

4.5 Stars

Something Like Redemption is a really good continuation for this series. These books must be read in order; while Monica does a nice quick rundown right at the beginning of this book, it’s best to read them in order as you miss out on some very important details in the first book.

We get to know Mia and Quinn more in this book. While I wanted to slap Mia a few times in the beginning, I understand the why behind her actions. These two definitely go through ringer in this book but fight through it together.

Monica leaves a lot of unanswered questions and some open doors. I love how this story came together but still left us wanting more. Yes, this book does end in cliffhanger and it’s just enough to leave you begging for more.

I really enjoyed this second book, even with the small issues I had. Monica delivers just enough bread crumbs with some answers, but adds in more to keep things very enticing and gripping.

I cannot wait for the next book in this series. Monica truly knows how to captivate her readers and keep them reeled in.

All I want is revenge.

But I’m afraid it will destroy me because I’m not a monster.

Or maybe I am.

And that’s thanks to Doctor Alanna Norton.

She’s tortured me.

She’s made me forget who I am.

And she’s done all this in the name of love.

But the love I feel for my son, who was stolen from me, will triumph. I won’t accept any other outcome.

There is another love which I will fight for—Dutch Atwood.

But what I find…the sting of betrayal lingers. I look at Dutch through new eyes; he doesn’t trust me, and I don’t trust him.

I’m faced with so many scenarios—I wish I knew how this story ends so I can make the right choice.

But there is no right in the hand I was dealt.

Alanna wants love so badly, so I intend to show her what true love looks like, because the only thing that matters is getting out of here…but not before I take from Alanna what she took from me.

Her heart.

YES! YES! YES!

Cue all the accolades and applause for Monica!!

HOT DAMN!! Monica, you have blown me away with this duet.

Love Sick is the continuation of Heart Sick and conclusion to this duet. And god damn, it was worth the wild and chaotic ride.

This duet is like nothing I have read before and Monica’s delivery of this story is superb. I was enraptured from the start and no matter how disturbing the scene became, I was all in!!

“In every book, every reader wants to know why… why did the villain do what they did? They want to know their backstory to know why they’re the bad guy”

GAH!! This book, this duet, was insane in the best ways. I could not get enough of it.

Luna and Dutch’s story is heartbreakingly beautiful.

Just go read it but heed the trigger warnings if you are sensitive to certain things.
