Review: The Dark Side series 

Author: Kristy Cunning

Title: Four Psychos

Series: the Dark Side

Author: Kristy Cunning

Release Date: November 2017

I'm not so different from most people. 

Like everyone else, I have life goals. 

Goal #1: Become a real girl instead of this invisible ghost thing I currently am. 

Goal #2: Convince the four men I've been haunting for the past five years to pick me to be their new toy after goal one is complete. 

Goal #3: Figure out who/what I am and why I can't remember anything past the five years I've been haunting this quad. 

Goal #4: Eat popcorn. 

See? Perfectly normal. Sort of. 

Gotta start small, after all. 

It's not like anyone else is perfect either. 

**Sexual situations 

**Reverse Harem 

**Dark humor galore 

**Language warning

So I've been in a book slump for the past 10 days or so now. Nothing sounded appealing to read, and I just haven't been in the mood for much of anything unfortunately. 

But I decided to pick up an old favorite to reread, and here we are. 

I absolutely loved these books the first time I read them. 

They were quick, fun, funny and then some. 

You first meet Keyla as she is a ghost spying on the Male leads whom she has given the nicknames via numbers. 

Four- Jude - is her favorite (and mine too for that matter 😏😂😂). 

Three- Kai - she says is the hottest, but also the most selfish. 

Two- Ezekiel - is her second favorite, and seems to be the first to warm up to her. 

One- Gabe - is the first one Keyla saves. 

Keyla may be a ghost, but after five years of spying on the quad, she can finally do something to help- by saving them- and after the first time saving them, they can finally see and hear her. 

But their first meeting doesn't go according Keyla's plan. In fact, the guys don't trust her, and are ungrateful for any help she may provide. 

So Keyla must prove herself. 

This book was fun and funny. It was a quick and easy read- and although it starts with a bang (that Keyla) is spying on, there isn't any spice between the main characters, but plenty of build up. 

If you love fun Paranormal romances and reverse harems then you need to read this book. This was my first RH I ever read & I absolutely love going back and rereading these characters & this story. 5⭐ out of 5⭐ & cannot wait to continue the series. 

Title: Three Trials

Series: the Dark Side

Author: Kristy Cunning

Release Date: December 2017

So, I've checked off some life goals and added a few new ones to my list. 

Goal #5: Get out of hell's belly without letting my ungrateful charges die. 

Goal #6: Get a new name that's more badass. 

Goal #7: Stop wasting my breath on lectures and start annoying the quad hell squad every time they annoy me. Fight fire with fire. Ha! Another hell pun. 

Goal 8: Find out who the hell killed me. 

I'll add more. I don't want to overwhelm myself before I even finish checking off my old goals. But seriously, I really do need a more badass name, considering how much I have to keep saving my damsels in distress. 

I probably shouldn't call them damsels, since they're a little murderous and all. 

Maybe I should add seeing a hell-certified psychologist to my list of goals. 

**Sexual situations/content 

**Reverse Harem 

**Dark humor galore 

**Language warning

So Keyla and her guys end up Hell's belly to complete the hardest third trial in existence. A trial that no one should be able to survive. But Keyla and the guys do. 

And the learn about themselves along the way. Keyla's real name is Paca. And the guys she has been saving time and time again? They are the Four Horsemen. 

Honestly, I love these books. The wit and humor, and how much the characters grow- into themselves and with each other. 

Ezekiel & Kai have given into Paca. And Gabe is started too as well. But Jude is still being stubborn and doesn't trust her. - and until they all are ready, no one can have her. 

This is a fun, amazing series & I cannot wait to dive into the next book and continue on with these characters and this story. 5⭐ out of 5⭐. 

Title: Two Kingdoms 

Series: the Dark Side series

Author: Kristy Cunning

Release Date: June 2018

I'm getting a little tired of completing my goals, only to have the bar raised too substantially for me to transition at a productive pace... 

I started off as a sad little ghost with an impossible crush on four really hot, Gothic guys with some attitude problems. Now I'm The Apocalypse, they're the Four Horsemen, and Lucifer is my fucked up daddy. Now my additional goals look like this? 

Goal #9: Make a deal with the Devil without getting cheated, manipulated, or tricked. 

Goal #10: Make my boys love me and take over the world...okay...so maybe just that first part. That second part sounds like it could take too much ambition, and I just don't have the drive for that. 

Goal #11: Make cookies. 

Goal #12: Call dibs on my favorite color. 

Goal #13: Find out if my siblings or my father killed me and my boys... 

**Sexual Content 

**Dark humor 

**Reverse Harem 

**Language warning

After Paca and her men learn who they really are, they are faced with the impossible task of learning their true nature because after all, knowledge is power, and learn how to harness their growing powers. Paca, must face her father, Lucifer and make a deal with the devil, without being manipulated and tricked, and to get four wicked psychos to fall in love with her, both impossible tasks, but everyone knows Paca loves to aim for the impossible. 

Just like the other two, I loved this book and cannot wait to read the conclusion. 5⭐ out of 5⭐. 

Title: One Apocalypse 

Series: the Dark Side series

Author: Kristy Cunning

Release Date: December 2018

The life goals have stacked up since I started this journey as a sad, lonely little ghost. I’m not sure how things escalated so quickly from trying to be seen and heard, to bearing the weight of the world on my vain little shoulders.

As a result, my goals have gotten a little more serious…

Goal #14: Learn to take a hit without breaking or suffering some type of death.

Goal #15: Decide once and for all if I’m going to save or destroy the world. I’m not sure why people put this sort of responsibility on hell-spawn like me.

Goal #16: Practice my evil laugh, because all hell-spawn need a good evil laugh.

Goal #17: Find and kill all the unicorns. Mwahahahahaha.

Goal #18: Live to enjoy forever with the guys I sacrificed all my memories to save.

Goal #19: No matter what, they don’t get to die. Or I really will be THE Apocalypse.

We’re the most screwed up collection of antiheroes the world has ever seen, because the only thing that makes me want to save the world is knowing I could lose my boys forever if I don’t. It’s one HELL of a love story, you know?

**Sexual Content.

**Language Warning.

**Dark humor.

**Reverse Harem.

**Series FINALE. (Read in order: Four Psychos, Three Trials, Two Kingdoms, and One Apocalypse. This book cannot be read as a stand-alone.)

Paca's life goals have been stacking up since she was just a lonely ghost who wanted to be seen and heard. Now she has the fate of the world resting on her vain little shoulders. But Paca and her four Horsemen are no heroes.

So between learning how to take a hit without suffering, and trying to decide if she is going to help save the world or destroy it, she knows one thing. She will stop at nothing to make sure her horsemen survive. Otherwise she really will become THE Apocalypse.

They are a screwed up set of antiheroes and the only thing pushing Paca to even WANT to save the world, is the fact that if she doesn't she could lose her boys forever.

This is more than just an epic love story of screwed up proportions.

I was soooo in love with these characters since the beginning and I needed to see this through to find out how their story ends. The lust, to steamy sex to love. The suspense and foreboding to find out answers to questions that we've been asking since the beginning. This conclusion peaked and climaxed and brought on emotion I wasn't expecting. Another 5 maddening ⭐ out of 5 ⭐.

Review: There Are No Saints

 

Title: There Are No Saints

Series: Sinners Duet

Author: Sophie Lark

Release Date: October 2021

I loathe Alastor Shaw.

The city of San Francisco thinks we’re rival artists.

In truth, we’re predators battling for hunting ground.

We never chased the same prey. Until the night we both laid eyes on Mara Eldritch.

Shaw wants to use her as a pawn in his twisted game.

I’m fixated on her for a different reason…

She makes me feel things I never thought I could feel. Want things I never wanted.

Only she can make me lose control.

I don’t know if I should protect her at all costs… or destroy her before she ruins me.

Mara knows I’m no saint. But she has no idea she’s dancing with the devil…

The Lark Notes:

I have always been fascinated by true crime, as well as by villains and anti-heroes. A serial killer is, of course, the ultimate anti-hero — the baddest of the bad boys. Redeeming a character who starts so evil was a challenge that inspired me to entirely new heights and entirely new depths. Come on this darkly sensual and utterly brain-bending ride with me! — Sophie

"There Are No Saints” is the first book in the Sinners Duet. Reader be warned: this is a dark and steamy serial killer romance that will take you on a journey through the twisted mind of an artist on the brink of madness.

Wow. 

So I went in blind to There Are No Saints & loved diving into the darkness- but be wary of the trigger warnings if you need them. 

Cole Blackwell is an artist, fairly rich and famous in his city of San Francisco. Only matched by his rival Alabaster Shaw. 

Both are amazing artists but both hold a dark secret. Both are predetors, using San Francisco as their hunting grounds. Never once did they chase the same prey. Not until they both fixated on Mara Eldritch. 

Shaw seen her as a pawn in his twisted game. 

Cole was fixated on her for entirely different reasons. She made him feel things he never thought he could feel. She made him lose control. 

Cole can't decide if he should protect her, or destroy her, before she ruins him. 

Honestly, I didn't know what to expect with this book. I went in blind. It was dark but so much more. Two well known, influencial people in the art community, hiding in plain sight. They were dark and twisted and so much more. Then their was Mara caught in the middle. She was everything Cole should loathe, yet he couldn't figure her out. He found himself drawn to her. 

It was captivating and thrilling and I cannot wait to pick up the second book to find out where this story leads. 4⭐ out of 5⭐. 

Trigger Warnings: Stalking, kidnapping, violence/murder. 

Review: One-Timer

 

Title: One-Timer

Series: Carolina Comets

Author: Teagan Hunter

Release Date: March 24

- 𝗦 𝗬 𝗡 𝗢 𝗣 𝗦 𝗜 𝗦 -

“I’m pregnant.”

That’s what my teammate’s sister-in-law tells me after our one-night stand.

I didn’t expect to see Hollis again, let alone end up raising a child with her.

We set some ground rules—we’ll raise the baby together, but that’s it.

No relationship, no future, and definitely no kissing.

But the more time we spend together, the harder it is to keep track of where the lines were once drawn.

I’m known for my one-timer on and off the ice, but this game with Hollis just got a lot more complicated…

Things to Know: 

🤰 Accidental Pregnancy

🥵 Steamy

🤣 Witty Banter

🏒 Hot Hockey Players

What happens when a one-time bad decision that was supposed to only be one night, ends up with a surprised pregnancy? 

Lowell finds himself drawn to Hollis, Harper's sister since they first met. She was fiesty & didn't hold back. 

They may not have liked each other, but what difference will one night make?

Apparently a big life changing difference when Hollis ends up pregnant. Lowell never though he would see Hollis again, and now they will be raising a baby together. But Lowell doesn't do relationships- so him and Hollis have no future together. The lines drawn are becoming harder to keep track of, and everything just became a lot more complicated. 

I adored this book. I loved Lowell and Hollis. Their witty banter and back to forth. Hollis' fiestiness. These two characters were great together, their chemistry steamy. This book was adorable, cute, funny and so much more. I couldn't put it down. If you are looking for hot hockey players and witty banter between characters then you need these books in your life! 5⭐ out of 5⭐.

Review: Sabotage

 

Title: Sabotage

Author: Shantel Tessier

Release Date: March 18

𝙎𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙩𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙡𝙡-𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙠 𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙐𝙎𝘼 𝙏𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 & 𝙒𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙅𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙧, 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙡 𝙏𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙚𝙧. 

𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗧𝗢𝗡

Raylee Lexington Adams is my stepsister and the one woman in the world who can make my blood boil. 

She’s vindictive, a lot of crazy, and absolutely stunning. 

I hate everything about her except for when she’s on her knees begging me to use her as my own personal toy. 

We’ve been playing a game of cat and mouse for far too long. We have used each other for our own sick pleasure. 

I’ve ruined every relationship my little princess has ever had. A sure way that she’ll come crawling back to me, begging me for what only I can give her when another man fails her. 

But I'm tired of watching others get a piece of what is mine. So, I did what any rational man would do—I staked my claim, showed the world that she belonged to me, and I’m going to do whatever it takes to make her believe it too.  

𝗥𝗔𝗬𝗟𝗘𝗘

Colton Remington Knox is a man I despise but can’t say no to. 

He’s what any girl would call a walking red flag. But I’ve never claimed to be a smart woman when it comes to men. Why should he be any different? 

I’ve always managed to hold my own against him. But this time, he’s gone too far. Posting a video of me on my knees for him, for what? To brag? Embarrass me? He’s acting like he doesn’t know me very well. 

Colt wants to play a game? I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure I win. No matter what it costs me. 

People already think I have no dignity, so why let them down now?

😈Things to know about Sabotage😈

✔A dark college/stepbrother romance 

✔MF with one MFMM scene (no MM interaction. They are focused on her)

✔⚠️TW⚠️ (the warnings will be posted at the beginning of the book. If you have no triggers and want to go in blind, skip to the prologue. )

✔J/P (jealous/possessive) H

✔OTT (over the top) H

✔Told in multiple POVs 

✔Also, this is the spiciest book Shantel has ever written. 🥵 

Holy spicy jalapeno peppers batman!!

If you are looking for a new dark, dirty, and delicious romance than look no further! Bc this is it. Shantel definitely delivered. 

Raylee and Colton have hated each other since they first laid eyes on one another. 

Raylee is vindictive, crazy and stunning.

Colton is possessive, over the top and dominate. He's the only one who could give her what she needs, what her body craves. They have been playing a game of cat and mouse for years. 

Colt may have ruined all other relationships that Raylee has ever had, but now he is staking his claim and making sure no one touches her ever again. Did I mention she is his step-sister?

Guys, you guys!!! 

This is a dark college step sibling romance and it is hawt! And it starts with a bang! You get your first glimpse of Colt & Ray right in chapter 1. This book was forbidden, and spicy, and down right dirty! (Mind trigger warnings if you need them). Plus there is a guest appearance you may recognize from a previous ST book 😏. 

I loved the push and pull between Colt & Ray. Colt was jealous, possissive, and other the top. He was down right hot and bordering on psycho (just how I like them 😏😂😂). 

Ray was sexual & knew exactly what she liked and wanted- which just happened to be her step brother. She may have been crazy but she owned it. She could go toe-to-toe with Colt and still come out on top. 

Their relationship may have been far from a perfect fairytale, but it was right for them. They gave each other hell, in and out of the bedroom. 

So if you are looking for a dark and spicy read definitely pick up Sabotage. Bc it was 🔥🔥. 5⭐ out of 5⭐.

Review: the Never King

 

Title: the Never King

Series: Vicious Lost Boys

Author: Nikki St. Crowe

Release Date: February 24, 2022

The stories were all wrong — Hook was never the villain.

For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their 18th birthday. Sometimes they’re gone for only a day, some a week or a month. But they always return broken.

Now, on the afternoon of my 18th birthday, my mother is running around the house making sure all the windows are barred and the doors locked.

But it’s pointless.

Because when night falls, he comes for me. And this time, the Never King and the Lost Boys aren’t willing to let me go.

The Never King is a dark retelling of Peter and Wendy. If you like your enemies to lovers romance with hot, ruthless, morally gray love interests, you’ll enjoy The Never King and the Lost Boys. You can expect hate kissing, fighting, bickering, and ‘touch her and I’ll unalive you’ vibes.

Winnie Darling comes from a long line of Darlings, who on their eighteenth birthday is stolen away in the night, only to descent into madness. Surely, being stolen away is a myth- a story weaven by insanity. 

But when Winnie comes face to face with Peter Pan, she finally believes in the myth, the legend and the improbable Neverland. 

A world of magic and wonder. But darkness too. Because Peter Pan and the lost boys aren't your childhood fairytale. Can Winnie survive Pan and his quest for his shadow?

So upon seeing this cover, I fell in love. I haven't read any Peter Pan retellings before, and I couldn't wait to dive into this one. It's dark and gritty and far from the fairytales I grew up with. 

Although Winnie Darling was kidnapped- taken against her will- she fell pretty easily into complying with Pan & the lost boys. She wasn't a complete push over but she wasn't as strong as she could have been. I did love seeing Pan & the lost boys, and their darkness, but wished I could have seen more too. 

I did throughoughly enjoyed this book. It only took place within a few days, and moved at a fast pace. It was a quick read and definitely great to pull me out of my slump. And I can't wait to see what happens next in the world of Neverland. 4⭐ out of  5⭐. 

Review: Break Me (reread)

 

Title: Break Me

Series: a Brayshaw series novel

Author: Meagan Brandy

Release Date: November 2020

I had a plan, and it was solid.

Track down what was hidden away and take pleasure in toying with it.

Toying with her.

That plan, it worked like a charm.

Until it didn’t.

Turned out, the feisty little thing I found was far from what I hoped for.

She was different from all I knew and more than I expected.

She was light, and I’m the bastard who led her into darkness.

But this girl... she followed with a smile.

I told her I break pretty things.

She asked me to promise.

So what can I say about Break Me that I haven't said last time I read it?

Well first, I have been in such a slump since finishing Say You Swear (also by Meagan Brandy). I have read a handful of books but couldn't get into anything. I was constantly distracted. My heart still with the SYS characters. 

I picked up Break Me, & was flipping through the pages looking for a quote- but what ended up as just quickly flipping through, had me stopping & reading pages so I decided to read it from the beginning. To get back into Royce & Brielle's story, back into the Brayshaw world- both which I love. 

And even though I knew how it all played out, it still brought the emotion. 

Royce and Brielle's story was filled with drama, angst and emotion. And it was everything. - am I over SYS? No. No I am not. BUT I love Royce, & the Brayshaw's & everything about their world to not fall off the deep end and get completely lost in their stories. 

5⭐ out of 5⭐.

Anderson Bexley was the love of my life… or so I thought.

For years, I convinced myself that one day he would see me as more than the bubbly activities director at his family’s campground.

Sure, he was ten years older.

Deeply tortured.

But none of that mattered. Especially during that one blissful night when he was all mine.

I thought our forever had finally begun, but he broke my heart instead.

A year later, I’m moving on.

In a new city.

No one can have Keaton Meyer.

RED: Five years ago, I was as boring as boring could be. Seriously, my name was Bernice. But then came that one month when I pretended to be somebody else entirely while working at a roadhouse biker bar....

Big Mistake. Huge. Who knew one month pretending to be an interesting bad girl could ruin a boring good girl's life?

GRIFFIN: When I saw her, I knew she'd be mine. My old biker crew told me she was untouchable--that I'd never be able to land her without my fame and last name. So I did what any rock star with a big....ahem, ego would under the circumstances--wagered five figures on me seducing the untouchable girl behind the bar.

RED: When the insanely hot biker, who wouldn't have looked at Boring Bernice twice, asks me to come back to his place, I decide, "why not?"

It was just supposed to be a silly fling....

GRIFFIN: It was just supposed to be a stupid bet. But what started out as fake got plenty real--especially after I lost her.

Five years. I spend five years searching for her. And when I find her....

RED: Five years. I managed to hide from him for five years. He's powerful and dangerous, and I'm not sure what he'll do if he discovers the secret I've been keeping from him for four years and nine months.

So when he finds me....

What's this story called again? Escaping the Ruthless Biker?

GRIFFIN: No, that's not the title.

The story is called Red....Red and the Big Bad Reaper.

And you're about to find out why.

BLURB:

His hollow heart called to me.

Charred black from years of his own torture.

An urge to fill the empty spaces that I was responsible for when I left him.

He thought I deserved the same wrath he endured all those years ago.

I came when I was summoned.

Unaware that my past was waiting behind closed doors.

One look into those eyes that wore dark shades of fury, and I knew this was part of his plan.

With time, I started to see fragments of the boy I once knew.

Before long, he was a man holding the key to my heart.

Now that I’m ready to give him all of me, he’s gone and all that’s left is the broken pieces of my shattered heart.

Book Two of the Fallen Kingdom Duet. It is recommended to read Book One, His Hollow Heart first.

BLURB:

I have a feeling her skin would taste better than the rare cask Macallan in my hand.

Deep, rich, sweet, warm... like sin.

She's much too young for me... a co-ed, to be sure.

But the devil is in the details of her eyes.

I want to swim in them as much as her divide.

She could give me the pleasure I desire...

Or she could destroy me.

A glance in my direction seals her fate. A twist of her hip... A lick of her lips...

I want to feel it, kiss it, bask in it.

But, her gaze cracks me open, exposing my every secret, my every sordid thought, and private moment.

And yet, that only makes me want her more.

She's as captivating as the classic works of art I profess to my students.

I shouldn't crave her. This is dangerous.

But, if I'm already going to hell, I’m going to relish every moment on the way down.

We fall too fast to worry about the consequences.

Even though I have a past that still haunts me and he has a future that could put us at risk, none of that matters when we’re together.

Until it does.

Captivating. Vulnerable. Agonizing. Seductive. Frankie Clermont was supposed to be like a sister to me for as long as I’d known her.

But no one knew the depths of our lies.

I had been in love with her before… before everything changed what we could be.

Undeniably connected and effortlessly infatuated, the two of us had remained each other’s weaknesses through everything.

I couldn’t afford to allow her to be my weakness anymore. I was in love with someone else. I was engaged.

But it didn’t matter how much time had passed, the moment I saw her again, I knew I would never escape her.

I never should have touched her again. Whispering her name in the dark was a mistake.

She was still everything I wanted and nothing I should have had.

We became a secret that neither of us could keep.

A devastating secret that would destroy everything.

Ares Alsford, my deepest regret, and most painful memory is the one I need to stay away from at all costs.
But I’d be naive to think old wounds stay closed when you scratch them, and I fear my presence back in the city he ran me out of is going to cause more shock waves than I can handle.
One thing’s for sure, though…
I might be broken, but I refuse to bend, regardless of how hard he tries to hurt me.

Latoya Reynard

Forever is a myth.

A made-up notion used to trick lovesick fools.

Now, I know better.

I fell for it once, and it was great until the boy I loved left me alone and heartbroken.

But, he’s back in our small-town, claiming he’s ready to give me the life he’s always promised.

I want to believe him because, despite everything, I still love him.

There’s just one problem…

He has no idea he’s a father.

Jasper Vanek

They say distance matters none when love is on the line.

Something I wish I knew before I walked out on the best thing that ever happened to me.

It was for the better, at least that’s what I told myself.

I was wrong.

And now after all these years, I have a chance to fix things.

From the moment I lay eyes on her, I realize the mistake I made and know that I have to have her again.

She’s mine, and I’ll do whatever it takes.

Imagine my surprise when I return not only for my woman, but also the seven-year-old son I knew nothing about.

Until Forever is part of Aurora Rose Reynolds's Happily Ever Alpha World. If you loved Until Harmony, then you will want to read Until Forever.

My fiancé, CEO of our company, is offering me everything on a silver plate – family, love, security. 
Things I’ve missed all my life.

Francesca

It all began with a sex addict, a swinger’s party, and a smug American! 

Actually, it began when I slipped into bed with a man who wasn’t my fiancé; a sexual pro with enough charm to break down my resistance.

However, I am a Farrington, an heiress to the family business, but only when I marry my fiancée.  

Gabriel Harrison was supposed to be a distraction during a mutually agreed reprieve from my engagement. So, imagine my surprise when I find myself looking into his eyes at a swinger’s party.

Could fate be pushing me against the life I always believed to be my destiny?

Gabe

People see me as the protector; the loyal best friend; the man who fought for his country. But to Francesca Farrington, I was merely an irritant to taint her perfect holiday.

The girl was both nuts and rude. But she possessed something inexplicable, something I couldn’t ignore. After one hot night between the sheets, she left, and I moved on. 

Or so I thought.  

A year later, she’s standing in my house with a bowl of keys.

My demons have kept me guarded, but could fate be telling me to take a chance on this beautiful enigma?

BLURB:

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.

Reasons why I should not be drawn to Troy Serrano.

Number one: He’s obnoxious.

Number two: He and I were enemies over a decade ago in high school.

Number three: He’s my friend’s ex-boyfriend.

I could go on and on, really.

When my boss gives me an unwanted assignment and tells me it involves spending time with the grandson of one of our residents—the grandson turns out to be Troy. He’s now as successful as he is undeniably handsome.

Lucky me. Four hours a week of having to deal with his insufferable personality and unsolicited advice. 

The only consolation is getting to stare at his annoyingly gorgeous face in between our many arguments.

Eventually, though, we slowly warm to each other and our outings become something I actually look forward to. 

What’s happening to me?

Apparently, I misunderstood the assignment, because it certainly didn’t include thinking about Troy when I close my eyes at night, imagining what it would be like with him—just once. All the while hating myself for fantasizing about a guy who’s all wrong for me. A guy whose car I keyed back in the day. (Long story, but he deserved it.)

That’s all this is—a fantasy. 

Well, until that one night at the bar. 

The night Troy and I run into each other, and all of our pent-up frustration comes barreling out.

Still, I refuse to accept that it means anything.

There’s no way the guy I’m supposed to hate is also the one I can’t live without.

The last time my husband gave me an orgasm was … Well, that's never happened. 

And from the way our marriage is crumbling under the weight of his lies, it never will.

Alas, after fighting like hell for a divorce, I promise myself that I'll never waste love on anyone else. 

I don't even want to 'date' anyone else.

But that's until I literally run into a man who leaves me breathless at first sight, a man who etches his way into my memory with nothing more than a single smile and a question. 

He's an enigma who doesn't want to give me his first name—a man who has more secrets than answers—and from the sexy smirk on his lips, I know that I should stay far away from him. 

I try to keep my distance, but he pursues me anyway ... 

When he offers me a job I can't refuse, I throw caution to the wind and take a chance. 

I should've thought about this a little more. 

Little do I know, this man is about to take me on a dangerous ride that might cost me everything.

Book 1 in the wickedly addictive Wasted Love trilogy.

My favorite charity asked for my help. It sounded so simple—twelve dates in twelve different cities during my summer tour. All I had to do was show up, take a few pictures with the highest bidder, pretend to have a good time, and move on. Pretty easy, right?

 

Wrong.

 

The highest bidder for the first date was my childhood bully. He might have stopped tormenting me in recent years, but I couldn’t forget how much he’d hated me when we were younger and all the awful things he’d put me through.

 

 

But it was only one date. I could survive a few hours alone with him, especially since he’d dropped some major cash for my time.

 

Only, he won the bid for the next date…and the one after that. A million dollars later, he’d won all twelve dates.

 

Which left me wondering… Why?

 

I was starting to think Cannon Cage didn’t actually hate me after all.

And the prize is not Will Cruz's ocean blue eyes or those rock-hard abs. Besides, all those muscles and that killer smile are temporary. I've lived in the mountains long enough to know that slick city boys don't stick around for the long run.

So I tell myself the things I need to hear to stay strong, hold firm, maintain my distance.

Until Will kisses me one night and I forget pretty much everything I'd been telling myself about protecting my heart.

I know it's only a fling, but what if there's a chance Will Cruz is the one? What if I give him my heart, and he doesn't stay?

BLURB:

I've always been a good girl.

But the second I walk into the hotel bar, I see temptation.

The man sitting there is delicious. Older. Experienced. Once our eyes meet, I know I'm not walking away unscathed. I've heard about men like Jenner Dalton--richer than God and hotter than sin. He's got heartbreak written all over him.

But it only takes fifteen minutes before we're headed up to his room.

I've never done anything like this before, but something tells me he's worth it. Every swipe of his tongue feels electric, every kiss sets me on fire, and his experience has me begging for more.

And more.

And more.

In one week, I'll return to college in Miami.

He'll go back to being LA's most eligible billionaire.

The miles and years between us are just too many for this to mean anything.

So, between now and then, I plan to spend every moment being anything but good...

I heard he was crazy, that his feelings were all dead.

I heard the bad things he did was because of the monster in his head.

He likes to deal out pain, reveling in his victims' screams.

He likes breaking hearts, ripping them apart at the seams.

Everything became better, because he went away.

But none of that mattered, since a part of him stayed.

Now he’s back, looking for what he left behind.

They all whisper the same things, about his affliction of the mind.

People say he’s broken, this man Brody Landry.

But I think he’s beautiful, a perfect Prince for me.

BLURB:

Begging my brother’s best friend—aka NHL superstar, Ian Fox—to help me ditch my V Card wasn’t part of my “make it big in NYC” plans.

But after years of being “cute little Evie,” I’m tired of waiting for Mr. Right. I’m ready for Mr. Right Now, and Ian is everything I’ve ever wanted in a first time. He’s kind, funny, confident, and has a legendary…stick. 

Seriously, his stick has its own page of search results, complete with gray sweatpants shots hot enough to make even a clueless virgin drool.

And yes, my brother will murder us if he finds out, but we’re both grownups. 

We can keep a secret. We have to since I just landed an art therapy job working with his troubled team.

All we’re doing is a little practice. (Or…ehem...big practice.)

Too bad my heart didn’t get the memo.

Wilson

I was the bad boy on and off the ice.

I loved it — owned it.

Hockey. Women. Money.

Until she came into the picture.

Now, all I want to do is be better.

I want to prove to myself I don’t have to be the guy everyone thinks I am.

She knocked down the walls I spent my whole life building.

Franny

My last name opened the doors, but proving I was worth the title of TV producer took all of my time.

He walked in with a chip on his shoulder.

I was happy to point out all his flaws.

Falling for him was inevitable.

When scandal hits, no one expected me to stand by his side.

Not even him.

But I’ve learned that you get only one love.

BLURB:

USA TODAY Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa brings us a light-hearted small-town romantic comedy full of a swoon-worthy billionaire, single dad romance, and big laughs.

I need a massive break.

So long to my cheating boyfriend and betraying roommate.

Goodbye hectic emergency room and long hours.

When I get an opportunity to take over my grandfather’s medical practice in Luna Harbor I happily accept the chance to try on a new life that holds sweet memories.

But I can barely think about anything at all when the new coffee shop/bar next to my practice always seems to be having an impromptu concert.

Who sets up a coffee and a bar in the same location as a music venue?

Fisher Hannigan, Head Man Child (ok, keyboardist) of the band Too Far From Grace, that’s who.

He’s also the man who can't stop flirting with me every time we meet. He’s having the time of his life, while I’m trying to run a quiet, unsuccessful medical practice.

Even though he infuriates me, our chemistry is off the charts and I can’t say I haven’t thought about giving him a full physical exam.

Until a baby changes everything.
