We’re both hiding secrets, but when the mafia world collides with the MC world, the shrapnel could destroy everyone around us.   Now the president of the Chicago chapter, not even I was prepared for his return.

REVIEW

Reviewer: Christi 

Rating: 4 Groupie Stars

Awhile back I read Sicko by Amo Jones and loved it. Sicko fits Amo Jones' writing style, dark, twisted and full of twists and turns meant to screw with your brain.  And the while it satisfied my love for dark romance, it also left me wanting Wicked's story.  Well, I got what I asked for. 

Wicked, once compared to the Devil's pet, is the beautiful, mysterious, and dangerous main character.  His life story is convoluted to say the least, but his obsession with Ruby was simple. She belonged to him. Ruby isn't a slouch in with her complex background either, and even though she didn't know some of it until later in the story. Ruby was definitely  a product of her environment though, which is a nice twist of the typical expectations of a Mafia daughter. 

As with all of Amo's books, I loved that Wicked was ruthless and Ruby was a badass.  She does not write weak women and I think that makes the books that much better for me.  Even when they are confused or floundering, their steel spines snap into play.  

Wicked and Ruby had great chemistry. Their dynamics were the main pull of the story for me.  Normally I love the twists and turns, but this one felt like it had more plot twists than normal and by the end, I just wanted read about the W&R, not the umpteenth plotline switchback. I think this was the reason my usual top 5 star marks are a little lower this time.

I still love Wicked and Ruby, but this one hovers around a 3.75 to 4 stars for me.  (It can be read as a standalone but I like having the background from Sicko. It boosts the story a bit IMO)

        

  About the Author: Amo Jones is a USA Today & Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, totally winging this author thing (she's probably doing it all wrong). 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.   New Zealand is not a state of Australia and rugby is the best sport ever played.

Rating: 4.5 Groupie Stars

Another great story in this Second Chance series.
Bestfriends brother with a different spin. The Bestfriend was male and I loved as I have a male bestfriend, so I get it!
Oh the heartache of the past really messed up their lives. It was sad how much time was wasted  apart in all their lives all because One man tried to save them from hurt. In the end he hurt them all!
An action packed ending brought them all back together and emotions were riding high. I read wide eyed not knowing what was going to happen.
I was sad to see this is the last in the series but excited to see a new series is coming.

Release Blitz: All I Need by J.H. Croix

 

Release Date: November 1

A swoony, small town holiday romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!

✔️ A broody FBI agent

✔️ A smart, sassy heroine

✔️ Off limits no more

✔️ An accidental break in

✔️ Swoony holiday romance

✔️ Small town shenanigans

Break in for benefits?

When a friend offers me a week at her family’s home in Maine for the holidays, I say ‘yes’ so fast I forget to say please. As a single mom, time to myself is impossible to come by.

I’m barely in the house when I’m mistaken for a burglar. When the lights come on, I discover the broody FBI agent who found me is Noah Tate, the off-limits older brother of my best friend from high school.

Noah was tall, dark, handsome, flirty, and popular back in high school. I kept my secret crush on him under wraps. I was above all that now. Except the chemistry burns so hot between us the air crackles with it.

We’re snowed in, so maybe we can make the best of it.

Noah & Sasha’s story is perfect for readers who love: friends to lovers, slow burn, broody FBI agents, small town gossip, emotional romance with a dash of angst, plenty of swoon and all the feels, and a protective hero who’s more than ready to prove a sassy heroine wrong.

*A full-length, standalone romance.

BLURB

He needs to get her out of his system. Just once…

Hank Weller doesn’t help people. He leaves that do-gooder nonsense to his best friend, Beau Winston. Hank does what he wants, when he wants, with whomever he wants—and Hank does not want to hire Charlotte Mitchell to be an exotic dancer at his club, The Pink Pony. Sure, he can’t help noticing the dips and curves of her, how shrewd, smart, and funny she is, the fire in her hazel eyes. He’s always noticed. She’d probably draw a crowd and entice the regulars. But after Charlotte’s messy, public divorce made Hank’s club out to be the culprit—and made her the single mother of four kids—he doesn’t need or want any additional bad press courtesy of Charlotte Mitchell. Or the distraction. Unfortunately for him, the town’s prettiest charity case doesn’t seem to understand the meaning of the words nope, no, and never.

Charlotte Mitchell doesn’t much like Hank Weller. Once upon a time, she used to. Years ago, she liked him a whole heckofalot despite other folks in town labeling him as “eccentric” and “nonconformist,” which were polite southern alternatives to “filthy rich” and “self-centered douchebag.” Her opinion of him changed dramatically after he volunteered to be her date to junior prom and then promptly stood her up. They haven’t so much as acknowledged each other in over a decade. But a sudden family emergency means Charlotte needs access to Hank’s club ASAP. Unfortunately for her, the narcissistic fancy-pants doesn’t seem to understand the meaning of the words help, generosity, and compassion.

But he’s about to find himself schooled. Charlotte is going to teach Hank a lesson once and for all about basic human decency, whether he likes it or not.

Spoiler alert. . . he likes it. ;-)

EXCERPT

The next time I awoke, it was to morning sunlight streaming in through the windows and to me on top of a real-life Hank-Weller-body pillow.

My sluggish brain only required a few seconds to recall why he was in my bed and how I’d bawled all over him before summarily passing out. I didn’t feel embarrassed by the memory. I felt curious, slightly numb, and an erect penis through a layer of his jeans and my pajamas, pressing against the inside of my thigh.

“Are you awake?” he whispered hoarsely. “Please say you’re awake.”

I swallowed and closed my eyes, not willing to yield my position on top of and next to him. This was a surprise. I’d never enjoyed sleeping in the same bed with anyone. I’d never co-slept with my kids. In my youth, I couldn’t sleep at camp or other situations where sharing a bed had been required. With my ex, I’d tiptoe out of the room once he was snoring and spent most of our marriage slumbering on the couch.

But this? Waking up with my leg curled over Hank’s groin, my arm flung over his chest, and my ear resting over his heart? I could get used to this.

“I’m awake,” I said haltingly. “But unless the kids are up, I’m not ready to move, if that’s okay with you.”

His hand moved on my bare back. I realized belatedly that he’d slipped it under my shirt at some point, tugging me closer until my entire torso pressed more fully against him.

“You’re still sick,” came his rumbly voice, giving me the sense the words were more for his benefit than for mine. “You will be sick for a while. I should keep my hands to myself until you are well . . . unless you ask me not to.”

My head was still a bit cottony, my throat a little dry, but I didn’t think I had a fever and my ears no longer ached. I felt almost normal. It’s amazing what hydration, rest, and the presence of a sexy boyfriend can do for a person.

“I don’t feel very sick,” I said, my mouth curving with giddy pleasure before I could prevent it. He must’ve felt the movement against his chest because he chuckled.

“Oh no. Don’t smile,” he groaned, sounding pained. “I can’t resist your smiles.”

“You find my smiles irresistible?”

“You know I do. Smile at me and I’m yours to command.”

Oh my goodness. I liked the sound of that. Warmth unfurled in my chest and I ducked my head.

He shifted at my silence, his hand sliding from the center of my back to my bottom, resting above the fabric of my pajamas. “Charlotte Mitchell, are you feeling shy?”

“A little,” I admitted. I did feel shy. I also felt many other things, all of which were too large and unwieldy to contemplate or share at present.

Hank kissed the top of my head. “Then, you be shy. I’ll stay right here, ready to be of service, just in case you start feeling bold.”

Release Blitz: Simply Mine by Laura Pavlov

 

 

Simply Mine by Laura Pavlov is now live!

She’s looking for Mr. Right. I can offer her Mr. Right Now.

That’s my specialty.

He’s my best friend’s older brother.

He was also my teenage crush and completely out of reach.

But we had our secrets—moments that nobody knew about.

I’d tucked them away in a safe place, and that’s where I’d planned to keep them.

He’d moved to the city, and I’d moved on.

But now he was back in Honey Mountain for a few weeks.

And he’d found endless reasons to spend time with me.

What started out as rekindling our friendship turned into a different kind of… stroking the fire.

No pun intended.

It was temporary.

Just another secret that we’d keep between us.

Ledger Dane came with an expiration date.

He’d always been one foot out the door.

Why would this time be any different?

Release Blitz: A Little Too Wild by Devney Perry

 

A Little Too Wild by Devney Perry is now live!

Crew Madigan is a snowboarding legend. He's gorgeous, rich, famous and every woman's dream. Well, except mine. I'll take a nerdy guy with a clumsy streak who wouldn't know what to do with a pair of skis to save his life. Superstar athletes? No, thanks. World champions? Hard pass. Crew? Definitely not.
It's been over a decade since Crew set foot on Madigan Mountain. Instead of sitting with his family during his brother's wedding, he takes the chair beside mine. ESPN really doesn't do that chiseled jaw justice. The cameras miss the flecks of gold in his eyes. When he invites me to his hotel room after the wedding, I break all of my own rules for just one night.
But here's the problem with just one night. Crew is impossible to forget. And he's not the only one who loves a thrill. The crash, the broken bones, are inevitable. Because together, we're a little too wild.
