Review: Beautiful Thorns

  Title: Beautiful Thorns Series: Boys of Bellerose Authors: Tate James & Jaymin Eve Release Date: April 2023 You know that saying, things can’t possibly get worse? They always can. And they do. It’s the last book of the series, you wouldn’t be here right now unless you were invested so just shut your eyes, hold your breath, and dive in. It’ll all be worth it in the end. Beautiful Thorns is book FOUR of FOUR in the Boys of Bellerose series. This is a mafia/rockstar reverse harem romance series with dark elements. This book does NOT end on a cliffhanger. Content is intended for a mature audience. This is the conclusion of the Bellerose series.  Everything must come to an end. And this story is no different.  We will find out what happens to Billie and her boys.  And while this wasn't a favorite series of mine, I enjoyed it. I love rockstar romances, and dark romances and why choose romance and sometimes even Mafia romances- and this series had all of these tropes ...

Review: Shattered Dreams

  Title: Shattered Dreams Series: Boys of Bellerose  Authors: Tate James & Jaymin Eve Release Date: March 2023 You know that saying, things can’t possibly get worse? They always can.  I thought things were bad when we got attacked in the dark of the night. In a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, with no one to help. When we lost one of the Bellerose family.  But the world wasn’t done shitting on us just yet.  Our situation only went from bad to worse as we tried to save ourselves, resulting in an explosion of heartbreak. Now we have to deal with the agonizing fallout of that fire-filled night.  Angelo Ricci--the man I severely underestimated--saved us all, but at what cost? He doesn't deserve to die for me. Not after all I’d put him through.  There’s no opportunity for grief, because the puppeteer pulling Bellerose’s strings wants the band back on tour with a brand new bass player. Like Flo never even existed. Bellerose has been through so much al...

Review: Dirty Truths

  Title: Dirty Truths Series: Boys of Bellerose Authors: Tate James & Jaymin Eve Release Date: Feb 2023 You know that saying, things can’t possibly get worse? They always can. I thought I’d reached a whole new low the day I ran from Bellerose. The day I was snatched by mafia goons, beaten half to death, and left wishing they’d finish the job. But then an Angel saved me. His kind of salvation wasn’t the freedom I’d been hoping for, though. Two months later I’m his prisoner in the gilded cage of his home. His pregnant mistress. Angelo Ricci--my Angel--holds my life in his hands. He’s both protecting me, and condemning me, and if his father ever discovers our secret deal then death will be a blessing. I’m tired, and scared, and don’t know who I can trust. All I know is that I miss the boys of Bellerose. Grayson and Rhett still hold parts of my heart, even if I could happily kick Jace in the nu… face. And Flo? She’s dead to me. Literally. Like, dead dead. Wormfood. Fate takes a tur...

Review: Poison Roses

  Title: Poison Roses Series: Boys of Bellerose  Authors: Tate James & Jaymin Eve Release Date: January 2023 You know that saying, things can’t possibly get worse? They always can.  I thought I’d hit rock bottom when I turned sixteen. The day I broke my first love's heart, ending things before I could ruin his career as a rock star.  But damn, was I wrong.  Things got progressively worse from that moment on, until now. Eight years later, when I find myself homeless, jobless, covered in blood, and running from a ghost of my past. Angelo Ricci--the second boy I ever loved--knows I saw him shoot a man. He’s coming for me, has men out all over the city looking for me, and if they find me I’m as good as dead.  But I’m not giving up so easily. I’ll do whatever it takes to escape the Ricci family’s wrath, even if it means seeking sanctuary with the most unlikely, and unwilling of allies. Bellerose is the hottest rock band in the world right now--in popularity ...
