Review: Villains and Vodka

Sorry i have been MIA the past couple days. But with thanksgiving, and everything, it was a bit stressful. But i did get some reading in, so yay me!

Title: Villains and Vodka
Author: Alta Hensley (Top Shelf book 2)

(May Contain Spoilers)

Synopsis:

My life is one long fevered dream, balancing between being killed or killing.
The name Harley Crow is one to be feared.
I am an assassin.
A killer.
The villain.

I own it. I choose this life. Hell, I crave it. I hunger for it. The smell of fear makes me hard and is the very reason the blood runs through my veins.
Until I meet her…

Marlowe Masters.
Her darkness matches my own.
In my twisted world of dancing along the jagged edge of the blade…
She changes everything.
No weapon can protect me from the kind of death she will ultimately deliver.

*Villains & Vodka is a dark billionaire romance. If you don’t like a splash of shock, a dash of taboo, and a heavy dose of sex, then don’t take a sip of this TOP SHELF cocktail.

Review:

I am so glad i read this book! I love me some good villains, and some good taboo every once in awhile and this book delievered on both. I definitely loved Harley. He was more than just an average bad boy next door. He was an assassin. A killer. And i was a little skeptical going into this book, but i really enjoyed Bastards and Whiskey, and took a leap of faith in Villains and Vodka. And. I. Loved. It.
There is a trigger warning- there is some self harm in this book, which i was wary of, but i think it was handled well.
I was able to relate with some of Marlowe Masters (no i was never a Latina who grew up win a motorcycle gang- but i did and still do have my own demons to face, & used to self harm). And i fell for Harley.
I give this book 5⭐ out of 5⭐. I loved this book, this story, and these characters, and devoured it in one sitting.
I received this ARC for an honest review.

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds. I was sure everything would be okay if I had them. It wasn’t. The fate of our people is in my hands and I know we’re better off if I’m alone. After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. Goodreads | Amazon   So I am rereading the Bonds that Tie series to read the newest release Broken Ties.

Review: Broken Ties

  Title: Broken Ties  Series: The Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: November 2025 From J. Bree, bestselling author of The Bonds That Tie comes the highly anticipated POV book that everyone has been crying out for. Even the strongest ties can be broken. 
After five years of searching, we thought nothing could compare to the devastation of our missing Bond. We were wrong. After a chance encounter, she’s been found; alive and enraged at being dragged back to the men she ran from. Made for us all, she's supposed to be the center of our world, but bringing our Bond home wasn't everything we imagined. With bravado that defies reason and lies that never taste right, nothing about our Bond’s story adds up. The Gifted community is in crisis, deception at every turn, and it’s getting harder by the minute not to show them all what we’re truly capable of. With our enemies closing in, one thing is for sure. 
 We won’t let her get away from us again. * Broken Bond is a full-...
