Serena has felt trapped her entire life, living a lie because it was demanded of her.

Years of torture at the hands of her sadistic husband have left her battered and bruised, but not defeated. She needs to stay strong for her children, and she’s determined to reset her future.

The future she has all thanks to Alessandro.

Yet the closer they get, the more it terrifies her because no man has ever made her feel like this.

It can’t work.

She’s too broken.

He’s too young.

And she’ll never trust a made man again.

Women never get under Alesso’s skin—until Serena. They share an intense connection that can’t be ignored, no matter how hard she tries to push him away.

He knows she’s scared. He is too, but she’s worth the risk. Alesso vows to be patient, until danger resurfaces and now all bets are off. Serena needs to understand how much she means to him and he will do everything to protect her.

The situation grows more tense as the DeLucas plot against Bennett Mazzone and the surviving mafia heirs. But Alesso will lay down his life before he lets Serena get hurt again.

Now his walls are lowered, the gloves are off, and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe.

Even if it means letting her go.

This is a full-length 105k-word novel with NO cliff-hanger and an HEA, set in the Mazzone Mafia world. This is the third and final book in this series.

Rating: 4 Stars

Scared to love is the third book in the mafia/romance series. Although this is book 3 you can still read each as a stand-alone and in any order.

This book was full on. It is fully of drama and angst and very intense story that will leave you gripped and unable to put it down.

I’ve read all 3 books now and this is my favourite. I was hooked from the first page in this thrilling book. It had so much drama, twist and turns and the characters were well written and had great chemistry.

Buckle up with this book, you definitely need to if u want to take this ride.

Excerpt 

ALESSO 

She slams to a halt, turning to face me. “I would never deliberately deceive you. That’s not who I am.” Fire underscores her tone, and I like hearing it. 

“I didn’t mean it that way. I know who you are.” 

The saddest expression washes over her features. “If that was true, you wouldn’t be standing here with me now. You wouldn’t be spending time with me each day. You would run a mile if you realized exactly who I am.” 

I risk stepping a little closer. “I have known you long enough to know the kind of woman you are, Serena. I’d like to think you’ve known me long enough to know you could tell me anything, and it wouldn’t scare me away.” Reaching out slowly, I take her gloved hands in my bare ones. “I spend time with you because I enjoy it. I want to get to know you better. I want to support you as you deal with the things you need to deal with.” 

“Why me? I’m too old. Too broken. I have kids. I come with so much baggage I’m completely weighted down with it. I—” 

I can’t listen to her beat herself up any longer, so I place two fingers over her mouth, quietly shushing her as I prepare to negate each of her concerns. “One. You’re not too old, and I’m not too young. Age is just a number, and I refuse to allow stupid societal norms to dictate who I spend my time with or categorize the nature of that relationship. Two. Broken is subjective, and we all have our broken parts, but guess what?” I move my fingers from her lips to her cheeks, silently rejoicing when she doesn’t flinch or shy away. “Broken parts can be glued back together. Three, I adore your kids, and they are the cherry on top. And four, every single person in the world has some kind of baggage. It’s called life.” 

Tears glisten in her eyes, spilling onto her cheeks. “You’re not real,” she whispers. “You can’t be.” 

My heart aches for her because I see the mistrust and disbelief in her eyes. “I’m real, Rena.” Taking her hand, I slip it under my coat and over my shirt-covered chest, where my heart is currently jumping cartwheels in honor of her presence. “I’m as real as it gets.”

DIRTY, DARK and oh so DELICIOUS! 
I loved this story. I made the mistake of reading it on a busy weekend. I hated putting my Kindle. I thought about the characters when I wasn't reading. Then I was sad when I finished. Although a perfect ending I didn't want the story to end. I am a greedy reader!
I loved the dynamic of the main characters. I loved the forbidden romance. Great backstory without dwelling on the past. The story continued to move forward into a rollercoaster of sexy, sometimes uncomfortable after a sad abusive childhood.
This book is not for everyone. But if you are a dark reader with no triggers I can't recommend this one enough.

Definitely one of my favorites of the year.    Blurb: How far will they go to protect paradise... From a very early age, I was warned to stay away from the Lawson brothers... It didn't matter they weren't biological brothers or that one had been adopted on a guilt-driven whim. They considered one another family. They shared a bond like any other brothers would. Except it ran much deeper. Darker. Dirtier. They had all the power, money, and hunger capable of destroying anyone who stood in their way as they trained to become icons the world watched every four years bring home gold medals. Little did anyone know, there was only one thing the legends worshipped more than their beloved sport. Me. *This is a forbidden, taboo, MMF, dark romance novel that includes several triggers         About the Author: Xavier Neal is a best-selling romance author who enjoys hopping from sub genre to sub genre like a game of Hopscotch she can't resist.

Bad Boss by Michelle A Valentine

Blurb: 

Dark.
Dangerous.
Powerful.

My new boss, Dominic De Luca has issued a city-wide hands-off order on me. He wants to own me—possess me body and soul, and every time he touches me it becomes more difficult to tell him no.

Innocent.
Beautiful.
And Mine.

From the moment Fiona stepped inside my club, she belonged to me. She walked willingly into the lion’s den and I’m about to devour every sweet inch of her.

Disclaimer:

This book is intended for an adult audience due to strong language and naughty situations. This book is full of insta-love, a crazy-possessive (touch her and I'll *unalive you*) alpha male and a headstrong heroine. If you aren’t into those things, this book may not be for you.

I enjoyed the sweet and sexy story.
Devoured it an afternoon.
Loved the characters. Over the top Alphas are a weakness for me and Dominic definitely fit the bill.
Fiona was sweet and shy but independent in all the right ways.
Their love developed fast but true love does.
Michelle Valentine never fails to give me a book I can't put down.
Looking forward to her next one.

But we can’t catch a break. As hard as we try to make it work, the blows keep coming.

Is it time to walk away and save myself?

Or do I take a chance on loving Gabriel Wild?

Gabe

I screwed up.

After putting her back together, I made a stupid mistake and broke the fragile pieces of her heart I’d promised she could trust me with.

She wants to walk away, but I’m not ready to give up on what we’ve fought so hard for.

I’m in love with Lauren Day, and I’m ready to fight for us and what we’ve built.

I’ll fight until she’s ready to take a chance on loving me!

Reviewer: Tammi 

Rating: 4.5 Stars

Fantastic conclusion to this duet!
A real story about real people with real life problems.
Life doesn't always go as planned sometimes its ugly. 
Our couple had past issues and current issues to work through.
It wasn't easy, it wasn't always pretty.
BUT they pushed through with love and strength.
In the end I got a perfect ending to a not always beautiful romance. 
Another great story from Ms Lesley Jones. I've yet to read a bad one from her.

RELEASE BLITZ: THE VIRGIN SCORECARD by Lauren Blakely

 NOW LIVE- THE VIRGIN SCORECARD 

Blurb:

Indulge in this collection that begins with Mr. Right Now and Captain Romance -- two romances between virgins and athletes that complete the bestselling RULES OF LOVE series. 
 
Mr. Right Now
 
I've got a problem. After a dozen failed dates - but who's counting - I'm done hunting for Mr. Right. I'm more than ready to cash in my V-card, and at this point I'll gladly hand it over to Mr. Right Now. When I go out with my friends for a night on the town, I bump into the perfect candidate. A guy from my past who kissed like a dream but took off before we could say goodbye. The swoony, charming pro athlete is back in the city and he's as ready to help me with my project as he is to win baseball games. The next morning, I'm deliciously satisfied and I know I've chosen wisely. But when he leaves again, I can't stop wondering -- what if Mr. Right Now is actually Mr. Right? And how do I get him back?
Captain Romance
I don't have luck on my side when it comes to romance. That's why I'm laser focused on my career as a sports reporter and making a mark as a woman in this tough field.
When one of the city's baseball stars asks me to spend a night on the town, I have to draw the line. Just friends, I say.
He's good with that.
Very good with that.
So good that I start falling for my new friend.
Of all the swoony, charming, thoughtful men in this big city, why is the one I want thoroughly off-limits? But if I want a chance with the guy they call Captain Romance, I'm going to have to put more than my heart on the line.
This collection also includes Kiss Your Tulips, Limo Bang, and DogFishing, three stories set in the Rules of Love world.

Fun sexy Novellas!

MR. RIGHT NOW

A sweet steamy second chance. 

Young love separated but never forgotten. Starts as a one night only but old feelings are hard to let go. This is my favorite romance story.

A forbidden romance

They start as friends and bond on friend dates that of course lead to more. I loved seeing them as friends before the romance.

Cute meet story that leads to a HOT connection.

Heated romps between rivals lead to more.

NOVA

And one more hot connection made on Valentine's Day at a comedy club.

RELEASE BLAST: KNOCKED UP BY THE ROCKSTAR by Christina Hovland

 

 Release Date: December 10

Things just got serious... 

The only thing music publicist Courtney Lincoln dislikes more than knock-off sugary breakfast cereal is the hunky lead singer of her brother’s ridiculously popular band. A band on the rocks, again. Seems like this time it’ll take a miracle to save Dimefront. So when she discovers she’s pregnant following one teeny, tiny, mind-blowing morning with Brennan “Bax” Baxter, the timing is not great. Being a mom wasn’t part of her plan, but her plans just changed.

Following the implosion of his engagement, Bax realizes he doesn’t want to lose Dimefront, too. But he’s finally let his guard down with Courtney in a steamy slip-up that ties them together as unlikely co-parents. The big problem? He broke the cardinal rule of music—don’t knock up the bass player’s little sister. Especially a little sister who sees straight through the façade he’s painstakingly curated. But he’s always wanted a family, and he’s being offered that chance. Plus, Courtney might just be exactly who he needs to keep him grounded.

Even if the band can mend fences, there’s a baby on the way, and Courtney’s questioning everything she once thought. Bax is suddenly a dreamy boyfriend, but she isn’t convinced it’s authentic given all she knows about his rocker past. As the group heads out on what they hope is a reunion tour, Bax and Courtney have to figure out what’s real, what’s not, and if they can learn to finally trust each other…

This is the first I have read by this author and I will definitely be reading more.
I enjoyed the easy writing style, relatable characters, the laughable scenes, the touching scenes. I honestly couldn't put it down.
I am a huge fan of Rockstar books. Our Rockstar in this one was a bit of a badboy changing his ways when he realized he found the one. (Knocked her up too!)
Our heroine was actually forbidden fruit a band members little sister. Which added a great element to the story.
I have found out this is a second in a series (total standalone) so now I can read that while I hope for a book 3. There is a story to be told!
