COVER REVEAL: Devil of Dublin by BB Easton
I'm both scared and excited - I have no idea how dark this one's gonna get, but the blurb is great! There's a new dark mafia romance on the way from BB Easton, and it's a whole new vibe for her, so I'm curious to see how it plays out. She had me guffawing and... Continue Reading →

Have you ever read a book, and you know it's not very good, but it's exactly what you're in the mood for that day? That's where I'm at with this one, or at least where I was while reading the first half. I was in the mood for some mafia goodness, so I decided to... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Brutal Vows by J.T. Geissinger
I was HOOKED from the very first page, and I devoured the whole book at an alarming rate - I loved it! There are times when you can tell that an author is having FUN with a story, and this is one of those instances. This couple is drawn together like magnets, and their chemistry... Continue Reading →
COVER REVEAL: Brutal Vows by J.T. Geissinger
June 1st can't get here fast enough - I'm really looking forward to this one! We met this antihero in previous books in the series, and he's finally embraced his bad side. That means the dynamics in this mafia-focused, arranged marriage romance should be pretty damn interesting... especially since he's got a brand new blushing... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Resurrection by Jodi Ellen Malpas
The Brit AND The Enigma are 100% required reading prior to this book. And if you want to go into The Resurrection *truly* blind, then this isn’t the review for you. Phew. What a WILD ride! Malpas clearly left plenty of breadcrumbs in the first two books, because this masterfully sews two different love stories... Continue Reading →
COVER REVEAL: The Resurrection by Jodi Ellen Malpas
One of my most highly anticipated reads of the year... and I've got no idea what to expect! I loved both The Brit and The Enigma, and The Resurrection promises to be the book that ties both of these dark and intense mafia romances together. Is it going to follow both couples? Introduce a new... Continue Reading →

SPOTLIGHT ON: J.T. Geissinger
I'd be hard-pressed to think of an author who has delivered more 5-star reads for me than J.T. Geissinger, and often I don't even read the blurbs or know what I'm getting into ahead of time with her books. I just one-click and go along for the ride! She's one of the first (non-Nora Roberts)...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Savage Hearts by J.T. Geissinger
There’s a reason why I’ve been one-clicking J.T.’s books without hesitation for years, and she just keeps getting better and better. I never know where the story will lead, but I’m always eager to hang on for the ride. This series has been blazing hot and immensely compelling, so this had a lot to live... Continue Reading →

"She’s toxic. But to me, she’s a balm. And I’m fatal. But to her, I’m life." Whoa boy, this was a lot to handle - and I absolutely LOVED it! I completely ignored real life for two straight days and just dove into this immersive, intense, hot, violent, and exhilarating read. I don't know how... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Canary by Tijan 🎧
Okay, so this is going to be a weird 5-star review, but just bear with me for a minute, lol. I wasn't sure that I even liked this book for the first 30% or so - I was more fascinated than anything, and it definitely took awhile to wrap my head around the characters. This... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Carnal Urges by J.T. Geissinger 🎧
What a WILD ride! Geissinger's books are always addictive, and her mafia romances have been particularly compelling - with this being no exception. These two were FIRE together, and I was absolutely hooked from start to finish. I'll openly admit that I had a little more trouble than usual getting behind this particular couple, not... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: My Fiancé’s Bodyguard by Ivy Wild
While the writing is a little rough around the edges, the soapy quality of this light(ish) mafia romance held my attention. It’s not a storyline that I have EVER read before, which is always a huge plus for someone who reads as many romance novels as I do. There was something about that blurb (and... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Forever Lies by Jill Ramsower
Sexy and mysterious, the hero in this book runs the show. From the moment Alessia lays eyes on Luca, he commands all of her attention - and that’s exactly the way he wants it. The author lets his motives unravel slowly throughout the book, leaving the reader in a state of unease about what he... Continue Reading →
