Review: Good Girls Never Rise

  Title: Good Girls Never Rise Series: St. Mary's duet Author: SJ Sylvis Release Date: November 2021 Gemma: We were from two completely different worlds that couldn’t have been more opposite. Fate brought us together, and we devised a plan. I was to leave St. Mary’s Boarding School, and he was to stay. I was molded to follow the rules, and he was taught to break them. But somewhere along the way, following the rules became a choice. The lines became blurred. The good girl of St. Mary’s suddenly got a taste of rebellion, and he came in a package of wild blue eyes and hot, lingering touches. Isaiah warned me that we’d go up in flames if we veered from our plan. Except, there was no we about it. Isaiah Underwood let me fall right into the ashes. Good Girls Never Rise is book one in the St. Mary's Duet and ends on a cliffhanger. Good Girls Never Rise is intended for readers 18+ and deals with subjects that some may find triggering. First thing: this book has trigger warnings so be ...

Review: The Words

  Title: The Words Author: Ashley Jade Release Date: January 20, 2022 From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ashley Jade comes an edgy, enemies-to-lovers standalone romance about mistakes, forgiveness, and second chances. He was the talented bad boy everyone wanted. I was the irrelevant geek everyone hated. He was the sun...drawing all of us in. I was a black hole...taking up space. He was destined to be a star. I was destined to remain an insignificant no one. Until he made me believe I was special... And then he destroyed me. I never thought I'd see Phoenix Walker again after he broke my heart, but fate had other plans. One tour. Eight weeks. Forty shows. Countless opportunities to make him pay. The world thought he was a God... But I knew the truth. Phoenix was one of a kind, destined to be a star. A talented boy whom everyone wanted- including Lennon, until he broke her heart. She never thought she would see Phoenix again.  Now, four years later, after P...

Review: Her Romeo

  Title: Her Romeo Series: Mafia Rogues: the Rossi Chapter Author: Quinn Marlowe Release Date: February 22 She's my best friend from childhood. The girl I thought I loved once. And the woman who just threatened to put me in jail, courtesy of the case she's prosecuting in court. She's also now my prisoner. Sloane Brennan thought she was on top of the world. Hell, she was on top of the world. But she's also the daughter of my father's enemy, and when my father decides to kidnap her and use her as leverage against her own father, then puts me in charge of watching over her... Let's just say it puts ideas in my head. Bad, bad ideas. Ideas that I've been fantasizing about for years. After all, I'm supposed to be taking care of her while she's under the Rossi umbrella, right? And no one actually defined what that means. Right? When the plan goes awry, though, and it becomes apparent that Sloane's life is actually in danger and my feelings run a whole l...

Review: Worth It

  Title: Worth It Series: Yama Yama Authors: SM Shade & CM Owens Release Date: January 2017 What's the recipe to the ultimate disaster week? Three unruly friends. A wedding we shouldn't have been invited to. Two unexpected romances. A scoop of sexy. And a double scoop of chaos. Lydia is a good girl who is above revenge. Good thing she has us. No one cheats on our best friend and rides off into the sunset with his new bride. What was supposed to happen? Unleash hell like two badasses. It was a simple plan, but we failed to anticipate a few things. A rogue prosthetic, an accidental exorcism, and dominatrix strippers willing to take things way too far, just to name a few. What actually happened? As usual, nothing went as planned, especially when two sexy distractions popped into the mix. We were there to avenge our friend, not to get entangled with two cocky, arrogant men, who don’t like to hear the word no. I was sure we could resist. I mean, it was only a week, right? What c...
