Mary can often be found finger twirling her hair and chewing on a stick of licorice while writing and rewriting a sentence over and over until it’s perfect. She discovered her talent for tale-telling accidentally, but literature is in her chokehold. And she’s not letting go until every story is told.

Excerpt
โIโฆโ I didnโt even know. I couldnโt explain what I didnโt know. โAsk me about Jake in a different way.โ โThere is no other way.โ โYou know there is! Ask it in a different way.โ I shoved up to my feet. This was the fight here. I was sick of the killing. I could not handle one more body, especially not someone I knew. My chest heaved. โAsk it in a different way.โ I liked Jake. I was hurt by what he said, but he wasnโt on my list anymore. I frowned. โWhat happened with Cavers?โ โNone of your business!โ he erupted, his hands flying in the air, but he was moving farther away from me. His back hit the wall, and he let me see him, how haunted he was, how stricken. He let it all out for me to see and read, though I wasnโt sure he knew it. โI donโt run my decisions through some pussy I like plowing.โ Okay, now I was mad. โTake that back,โ I said quietly. He swore, low and long. Then he moved, flipping a chair into the wall. It impaled there, and the wall held it. It looked like an abstract piece of art. โTake it back!โ I clipped out, folding my arms over my chest. He looked away. I didnโt know what was going on here, but fuck him if he didnโt take back calling me pussy he liked to plow. I screamed, โTake it back!โ โNo!โ He was across the room and in my face in the next second. I braced myself, but he didnโt touch me. He stopped just short of it, his breath in my cheek, his eyes taking me in, scanning my face. He was panicking. I saw it now, lurking there. Good! That filled me with satisfaction. My chest started pounding. No, that was my heart. It was thumping in my chest, getting stronger, fasterโa steady and powerful beat now. I could feel it all the way to my toesโin my fingers, my neck. His eyes lingered on my lips. He couldnโt look away. Stark hunger flashed in his eyes, and he raised a hand, holding it in the air. It curved gently, as if he wanted to touch my neck, or the side of my face. But he didnโt move. He just held it there, a few inches from my skin. His eyes lifted to mine. โYou bitch.โ My heart still pounded, trying to reach him. โYouโre a murdering asshole,โ I whispered back, seething. โWhat?โhe sneered. โYou want to fuck now? Forget you put a fucking gun to your head?โ โDonโt kill Jake.โ He pressed into me, his eyes wild, on the edge of control. โWhy?โ His breath was hot on me. He bent down, his eyes glittering now. Then he found his control. He rested one hand against the wall, next to my head. The other found my hip and slid up, moving under my shirt, raising it. God. I almost moaned. Wetness flooded me, and I started to throb. I wanted him. So fucking bad. He bent and his lips grazed over mine, my cheeks, my chin. Tingles raced through me. Jesus. I wanted him deep inside of me. I shifted, pressing against him, and both of us groaned from the contact. I began moving, a slow grind, and he was quiet, grinding back. This was different from the other times. The terms had flipped. Roles were changing. Everything was being upended between us.
I pondered on what to say in my review for this book. I only started reading books by Tijan earlier this year when I was asked to read an arc of The Insiders. Needless to say, her writing blew me away and I knew I had to read whatever she releases. And she did not let me down with Canary. This book was nothing like any other mafia book I have read before.
Canary is a very cumbersome, but amazing story. Thera are so many twists and turns that you never know what is going to happen next. However, with Tijan’s writing, everything flows at a steady pace and blends so perfectly.
There is no shortage of action, angst, drama, steam and emotions. Tijan delivers everything in this unique and gripping mafia story.
Canary is told in dual POV’s but mostly from our heroines’. She goes by many names but found herself walking into this side of life on her own, to find her sister. Raize, our hero is coldblooded killer. He kills without remorse and is damn good at what he does. He finds himself having to rely on the select few on his team to thrive and survive.
And that is all I am saying about Canary. This book is riddled with so much more than you can think of. I have ready many mafia books and this was like nothing I have read before. Tijan pulls readers in from the start and never lets them go, even long after the story ends.
Canary is a must read!!

โWhat do you want from me? Do you want my forgiveness? Do you want me?โ
His face contorts, the pain of my words evident in his expression, and his hand engulfs mine. He squeezes and tugs me toward him, causing me to fall into him. Then his arm circles my waist, and he lifts my chin so that I have no choice but to stare into his devilishly gorgeous eyes. โI want everything. Donโt you know that by now? Your lips, your body, your heart, your soulโand I donโt deserve any of it. But as hard as Iโve tried to stay away from you, Iโm just a foolish, selfish man who is completely and utterly spellbound by an enchantress who deserves so much better.โ
I suck in a breath, my heart thumping manically. Before I have a chance to regain any sense of composure, his lips are on mine, his groan filling the cave of my mouth and vibrating through my body. At this moment, nothing else matters. I can forget it all. Then he picks me up, wraps my legs around his waist, and walks me toward the lifeguard tower.

A mafia romance about betrayal and faith by Rachel Van Dyken, the number one New York Times bestselling author of the Eagle Elite series.
ย
“The truth may hurt for a little while, but a lie hurts forever.”โRyan Bigge
ย
I grew up knowing it would happen one day.
Believing that I would fall into my father’s footsteps and become a monster of my own making.
ย
So I fought it.
I lived.
I loved.
I teased.
And then one dayโฆ I destroyed.
And realized I loved the pain.
Obsessed over the feeling.
So I cut again and again and again.
ย
She saw my rage, my madness, and tried to stop me from destroying myself, and I hated her for it, pushing her away past the point of no return.
Izzy Abandonato was supposed to be mine.
But there are some things people can never come back from. I hurt her, she hurt me, and now I’m living a lie. Telling the ones I love that I’m on one side when for years I’ve been forced to play both.
ย
I’m no angel.
I’ve fallen.
And I may single-handedly bring down the Cosa Nostraโby default.
I, Maksim Sinacore, will have my vengeance.
I will win her back.
Even if it means I have to kill everyone in my path.
The pain masks the betrayal.
I never realized that one dayโI’d be the very rat that I hated. That I was sent to kill. But once you’re deep in a lieโyou’ll do anything to hide the truth.
ย
She fell for the bad one.
She fell for the sinner.
So why does that make me smile?

The Blood That Binds โ 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. โ Wendy, Goodreads Reviewer
My mouth was hanging open a 1am! Madeline and Claire, again knocked this out of the park! โ Keshia, Goodreads Reviewer
It’s a gripping read, lots of drama and angst, ups and downs…. a real rollercoaster of a ride this one!! โ Claire, Goodreads Reviewer
Blurb:
Tแดกแด สสแดแดสแดสs. A แดสษชสแด สแดแดแด sแดกแดแดแดสแดแดสแด.
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.
Lแดแด แด แดษดแด สแดss.
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 แด ษชแดแดแดษดแด ษชษด แดสแด สแดแดษขส.
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. ๐

Jack Dryden-Jones is easily the worst rugby player on the fieldโwhen he moves to The States to follow in his brothers footsteps, he has no idea how heโd hate the game. Heโs so horrible he considers faking an injury to take himself out of the game.
Jack is a quick-witted, comic book loving gentlemanโnot 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; heโs 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, itโs 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 onesโitโs 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 โ 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.

โForbidden to Love is mafia romance at its best.โ -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 Yorkโs most powerful mafia dons, she knows she canโt refuse. Itโs her duty, and she would never dishonor her beloved father.
But the man sheโs promised to is a monster. And there is nothing but torture, pain, and heartache lying in wait.
So, she grabs happiness when she finds itโin the somewhat reluctant arms of Leonardo Messina.
Leo is her brotherโs best friend. A soldato for the Mazzone famiglia. A man with strong ambition and an even stronger resolve. He wonโt 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 doesnโt regret it. It saved Natalia from a life of hell, but his actions set her on a different course.
One that doesnโt 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!!
