I quickly realized that Unbroken Promises was going to be life changing! Honestly, it was so emotionally difficult for me to read at times. I can’t even begin to tell you how many tissues I went through! As I continued to read, I became so invested in the characters and the storyline. I have personally lived through Delilah’s issues, and oh did I cry.
I had no clue how emotional this book was going to be for me, but honestly, I think I finally feel in a better place now. I need to thank you Nikki! Thank you so f’ing much for writing Unbroken Promises and giving the world Delilah, Cole, and Xander.

Absolutely Phenomenal!
Siobhan Davis has done it again! Surviving Amber Springs is an emotionally powerful romance between Blaire and three very hot and amazing guys. Although, I need to tell you that this story is about so much more than any reverse harem or polyamorous book that I have read. I really want to fill you in on all the details, but this is one book that you need to experience by yourself.
Blaire’s path to an HEA is not an easy one. It’s honestly extremely painful and at times very difficult. While her story was hard to read at times, it was beautifully written. I was completely captivated by this unforgettable storyline, and it is one that I will not forget.
Honestly, if you decide to buy only one book this year… this should be it!

Depraved is a blazing hot romantic suspense novel by author Eva Charles. It’s the first book that I have read from the author, and I’m looking forward to reading more of her work! The writing is fabulous, and I was utterly captivated from the very beginning. There’s not much that could’ve pried me away from this story!
Depraved is the first part of the Devil’s Duet, so be prepared for the story to end with a cliffhanger, and it’s a doozy! The good news is that Delivered, the second part of the duet, will be released on March 21st.
I do believe that this is a story that you need to read for yourself without any spoilers. So, I’m not going to go into any detail about the plot. Although, I will tell you that the story of JD (Julian) and Gabrielle is so dang hot! I mean, just look at the cover… it’s so delicious! I was often at war with myself as I was dying to know what came next, but at the same time, I didn’t want it to end. It’s that good!
This is a one-click, must-read, stay up late kind of book!

Cruel Sanctuary is the first book in The Wages of Sin duet by author Tara Leigh. This duet does have a continuous storyline, so be prepared for a doozy of a cliffhanger! The good news is that Corrupt Savior, the second book in the duet, is expected to be released mid-May. Therefore the wait will not be too long.
Cruel Sanctuary tells the story of Aislinn Granville and Damon King. Aislinn is the daughter of James Granville, who is the district attorney in NYC. He is planning on running for Mayor, and there are a lot of people who would like to see him fail. Damon King is a serious bad boy, and I have to admit that he makes me weak in my knees! The storyline has so many twists and turns that I was continually trying to put all of the puzzle pieces together. Everyone seemed to be hiding something which resulted in me being on the edge of my seat throughout the whole book.
I must admit that Cruel Sanctuary is one of my favorite books of Ms. Leigh. It seriously was all that and a bag of chips! The storyline was captivating, suspenseful, and so dang steamy, and I loved every minute of it! I just can’t get enough of Damon, I need more!
It’s one of my favorites books of 2019.

Wow! Praying for Rain is absolutely amazing!
I was initially drawn to the book’s cover, although after I read the description, I was all in! Usually, I’m not drawn into dystopian stories, but this one really got to me. It also happens to be the first book that I have read from author B.B. Easton, and it definitely won’t be my last!!
Praying for Rain is the first book in a trilogy which tells the story of Rainbow Williams and Wes Parker. It occurs in a pre-apocalyptic world where it is believed that the world will end on April 23rd. Everyone has nightmares about the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and no one has an idea how to change it. Therefore society has turned to anarchy, violence, and no one is safe.
The book begins on April 20th, and Rain is so hungry that she leaves the safety of her house to go to Burger Palace. It happens to be one of the few places to get food, but she’s attacked by the people at the restaurant then kidnapped by Wes. The story continues with so many twists, and I was absolutely spellbound by how vivid it all was to me. Praying for Rain was so gripping that I genuinely was unable to put this book down!
I can easily say that this was one of my favorite books for 2019!

Oh Em Gee!
I must admit that I was first drawn to The Rebel of Raleigh after seeing the cover. I mean, it’s so dang hot! After reading the blurb, I knew I needed this book so I immediately one-clicked it. Now I’m wondering where the heck I’ve been and why was this my first Callie Hart book? Not only was the storyline amazing, but the characters were well developed, and the writing was flawless!
So you are aware, there were some difficult parts within the book. So, do pay attention to the trigger warning!! Now with that said, I believe Ms. Hart did a fabulous job of telling Alex and Silver’s story. It was heartbreaking, emotional, intense, and I loved every minute of it! The story does have an HFN ending, but there will be a second book coming soon.
I can’t wait for the continuation! I need more of Alex and Silver!!!
Title: Beauty in the Broken
Series: A Diamond Magnate # 1

Release Date: May 14, 2019
How explicit are the sex scenes – 4.5 / 5

Beauty in the Broken is a fantastic standalone dark romance, and it tells the story of Damian and Lina. Lina is the daughter of Harold Dalton, the man who set up Damian which resulted in him serving six years in prison. When Damian is released, he has only one goal, and that is to seek revenge. He begins by forcing Lina to marry him. This helps gain the power and money necessary to take over Dalton’s diamond mine. Damian continues his retaliation, but along the way, his desire for Lina grows.
Beauty in the Broken grabbed me from the very beginning, and I just didn’t want to let go. I was caught between wanting to read faster to find out what happened next and wanting to slow down so I could savor every word. Damian was the perfect example of an anti-hero, and I couldn’t get enough of him.
I really can’t express how much I love this story. It was by far one of my favorites, and in my opinion, a must read!

Series: A Deadly Virtues Prequel
The Fallen: Genesis is the prequel in Tillie Cole’s new series called the Deadly Virtues, and all I can say is OMFG! I love the Hades Hangmen series, and I was so dang excited to start this new one. I knew it was going to be a bit darker than the Hangmen, but wow! It was incredibly dark, raw, and gritty, and I went through so many emotions while reading.
It started off with brothers Joseph and James sharing a room at the Holy Innocents Home for Children, which is an orphanage run by the Catholic Church located in Boston, Ma. Joseph is the older brother, and he feels a strong need to help and protect his younger brother. After an eye-opening scene, I was gripping my Kindle tightly, and I could not stop reading. I became mesmerized by the characters and the storyline. I found that I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough, yet I wanted to savor every word.
I am counting the days until Raphael, the first book in the series is released! A definite add to your TBR list!

Wow! That was flipping fantastic!
Slay: Rivalry is the first book in the Slay Quartet, and it’s one of my absolute favorite books this year! It does have a continuous storyline, so be prepared for it to end with a massive cliffhanger! Honestly, I must admit that I cursed a couple times when I got to that last page.
The storyline was full of so many twists and turns, but it was the characters that really made the story even more amazing. Celia and Edward had me going back and forth between loving and hating them. They also knew how to really turn up the heat! Phew (fanning self). I want to tell you all about it, but this is one book you need to read without any spoilers!
Completely unputdownable!

Absolutely amazing!
This for That is the first book in The Edge of Retaliation series written by author Bella Jewel. I’ve been so excited to read this story that I jumped right in when I saw it on my Kindle. Let me tell you, it was an explosive read, and I so want to spill all the beans, but I won’t. This is one book that you should read without any spoilers!
This for That was impossible to put down. Not only was the story gripping, unique, and full of twists, but the characters were complex and really well developed. I was so engrossed in the story that I forgot it ended with a cliffhanger, and I about died when I reached the end! So, be prepared for a doozy of a cliffhanger!
I recommend that you grab a drink, some snacks, and get comfy! You’re going on an epic ride, and it will have you gripping your Kindle tight as you beg for more!
