CHAPTER 1

Molly

“So, what do you do for a living?”
The woman drummed her fingers on her thigh. “I’m a musician.”
I glanced down at the renter’s application in my hand. Lyric Chords was the name listed at the top.
I bit my tongue and tried to keep an open mind. This was the twelfth woman I’d interviewed as a prospective roommate. Just because she had a few safety pins in her eyebrow and what looked like a dog collar around her neck didn’t mean I should rule her out.
“Oh. That’s nice. Are you a singer?”
Lyric shook her head. “Drummer. Do you know the dimensions of the bedroom I’ll be sleeping in? I have two sets of drums I need to fit.”
“Umm... I think it’s fourteen by fourteen. But you don’t practice at home, right? I wrote in my ad that I’m looking for a quiet roommate because I work nights.”
“I do. But no worries. I’ll practice in my room.”
My bedroom and my potential roommate’s bedroom shared a wall, so that was the end of interview number twelve. I sighed and forced a smile. “Thank you for coming. I have a few other people left to meet with before I decide. I’ll let you know.”
“Great.” The woman stood. “Also, I know your ad said two months’ rent up front, but I’m running a little short right now. Would one be okay?”
I smiled. “Sure, no problem.” Since you’re not going to be living here.
After Drummergirl, I interviewed two more candidates. One wanted her boyfriend to move into the room with her, even though my ad had specified I was only looking for a single. And the other arrived twenty minutes late, reeked of alcohol, and slurred her words…at three thirty in the afternoon.
Why in the hell was it so difficult to find a roommate in a city of almost three-million people? I needed my last interview of the day to be a miracle, or I was going to have to shell out money for another ad and start the entire process all over. And I definitely didn’t have the time or the funds for that. Rent was due in two weeks. If I got stuck paying the full amount on this place myself again, I’d be eating cat food for a month.
When my last appointment knocked right on time, I took a deep breath, looked up at the ceiling, and asked the big guy in the sky for a little assistance.
Opening the door, I blinked a few times.
Uhhh. I think you answered the wrong prayer, God.
A man stood in my hallway—and not just any man, an absolutely gorgeous one with a perfect, straight nose, cheekbones to die for, a masculine, square jaw, full lips, tanned skin, and the sexiest chocolate brown, almond-shaped eyes I’d ever seen in my life.
“Uh. Can I help you?”
He flashed a killer smile, one that I immediately suspected had made countless women remove their panties.
“Hi. I have a four-thirty appointment with Molly Corrigan.”
“You do?” I had the last application in my hand and looked down at the name on the top. “I don’t think so. My appointment is with a D. Tate?”
He extended a hand. “That’s me. Declan Tate.”
“But…you’re…not a woman.”
He smiled again. “You’re correct. Very observant. I am most definitely not a woman. But my last roommate told me I should’ve been because I use moisturizer at night and cried at the end of Marley and Me. And if I’m being honest, I also got a little watery at the end of Toy Story, so maybe I’m a bit of a wuss. Either way, I think you should consider those my positive feminine qualities.”
I was thoroughly confused. “Umm… I’m sorry. You must’ve missed that my ad said female only.”
“Actually, I didn’t. But if you’ll give me just five minutes, I think I can convince you I would be a better roommate than a woman.”
I chuckled. “Let me get this straight… You hid your first name—what did you say it was again?”
“Declan.”
“Right. Declan. Anyway, you applied to an ad for a female roommate, intentionally deceiving the person who is going to decide if you get the room by leaving your first name off. And your strategy is to convince me I don’t really know what I want in less than five minutes? Do I have that right?”
He flashed that boyish charm again. “You sure do.”
I debated how to handle the situation. On one hand, he was going to waste my time, and I had done enough of that today. But on the other, my curiosity was definitely piqued. Something about his grin told me this could be amusing. Screw it. I had nothing better to do anyway.
I opened the door wider and stepped aside, holding my hand out for him to enter. “I’m setting the timer on my phone, and I’m getting a glass of wine before you start. I like a drink while I’m being entertained.”
Declan smirked and strolled into my apartment.
I motioned to the couch. “Have a seat. I’ll just be a minute.”
When I got to the kitchen, he called after me, “Hey, Mollz?”
I turned back. “Yes?”
“How about you make that two glasses of wine?”
I chuckled. “Sure. Why not, Decs.”
I poured a couple of glasses of pinot grigio and returned to the living room.
“Here you go. Hope you like white.”
“You see? We’re perfect together already. I prefer white over red.”
I brought my wine to my lips. “Yes, perfect. A match made in heaven. I think we might even be soul mates.”
Declan showed me his pearly whites once again. He really did have a great smile, nice teeth, too. Too bad he also had a penis. I knocked back half the contents of my glass and placed it on the coffee table. Picking up my cell, I swiped to the timer app and set it for five minutes.
I showed him the screen. “You ready?”
“I’m always ready.”
I pressed start, placed the phone face up on the coffee table between us, and folded my hands. “Go.”
“Okay. Well…what’s your favorite color?”
“My favorite color?”
Declan pointed to the timer. “Time’s a ticking, Molly. I’m going to need you to not repeat questions.”
I laughed. “Fine. My favorite color is pink.”
Declan reached into one of his pant pockets and pulled out a set of keys. The keychain had a bunch of pink beads with white letters between each one. The letters spelled out his name. “Mine too.”
I arched a brow. “Did you make that yourself?”
“No. My niece, Arianna, made it for me.”
“So how do I know that isn’t just Arianna’s favorite color?”
“Good point. Let’s move on. Your ad said you work nights.”
“That’s right. I’m a nurse. I work the night shift on the maternity ward.”
“So you sleep during the day, then?”
“I get off at seven, and I try to get to sleep as soon as I get home.”
He held his hand to his chest. “I work days. I leave for the gym by six and usually don’t get home until after seven at night. So the apartment will be quiet when you need it to be.”
I nodded. “Okay. I’ll give you that that would make you a good roommate. But most people work days, so it’s not really something that makes you too special.”
“Do you cook?” he said.
“Does macaroni and cheese count?”
“I grew up in a multigenerational Italian home. My nonna taught me how to make sauce from scratch.”
“So you’re going to cook for me?”
“If that’s what it takes to get this apartment, yes.”
“As tempting as that might be, there’s an Italian restaurant around the corner that makes great food. Funny enough, it’s called Nonna’s Place, and an actual nonna makes most of my meals. Not a knockoff.”
Declan took an exaggerated breath and blew it out. He glanced at the cell on the table. “Three minutes and thirty-eight seconds. I can see you’re not going to make this easy. How about you tell me why you can’t have a male roommate so I can address that head-on. Is it because of the toilet-seat thing? Because I have four older sisters, so I’m appropriately trained. When I was eight, I made the mistake of leaving it up once, and my sister sat down where I’d accidentally left a little pee. She dunked my head in the toilet bowl before she flushed. That was the last time I left the seat up.” He held up three fingers. “Scout’s honor. It won’t be an issue.”
I smiled. “It’s not because of the toilet thing.”
“Alright. So why don’t you want a male roommate, then?”
I’d actually never given much thought to why my roommate had to be female. It just seemed natural to have another woman sharing the apartment. “Well…I don’t really have a specific reason. I would just be more comfortable living with another woman. For example, I sleep in a T-shirt and underwear. When I get up to start the coffee, I don’t get dressed. It would be weird to do that in front of a man.”
“Why?”
“Why would it be weird to walk around with my ass cheeks on display in front of a man and not a woman?”
“Yes.”
I shrugged. “I don’t know. It just would. I guess because the women I’ve lived with aren’t attracted to other women, so it doesn’t feel sexual in any way.”
“Ah. Now we’re getting to the crux of your issue. So you’re afraid of some sexual tension going on between you and me? Is it because I’m so handsome?”
“What? No! And aren’t you full of yourself, assuming I think you’re handsome, and I’m worried I won’t be able to control myself.”
“Just keeping it real, Mollz. You’re only giving me five minutes, so I’m trying to get to the heart of the reason.”
“I guess I just don’t want to feel like I have to cover up to come out of my bedroom. When I dry my hair, I wear a towel or a bra and underwear—that type of thing.”
“Would you feel you had to cover up if I told you I was gay?”
That question gave me pause. Would I? I wasn’t sure. “Are you?”
“Fuck, no. I was just trying to pinpoint your issue. Is it the fact that I’m a man, or the fact that I might admire your ass if it were on display? Sounds like it’s the latter. So let me put your mind at ease: I won’t.”
I felt oddly offended. “What’s wrong with my ass?”
He chuckled. “I wouldn’t know. I haven’t looked. You know why?”
“Why?”
“Because I’m in love with someone else.”
As insane as it was, I felt a pang of jealousy. “Oh. Well, why aren’t you moving in with her?”
“Because she doesn’t return the feelings…yet. So basically, if your concern about having a guy for a roommate is that he’s going to be checking you out, you have nothing to worry about with me. I’m a one-woman man. If you want, I can give you the numbers of some of my exes for references. I’m no cheater.”
Hmmm… “I don’t know…”
Declan looked down at the clock. Thirty-one seconds were left. “We’re running out of time, so we need to speed things up. How about if I just give you the facts you need to know?”
“That would be good.”
“I’m twenty-eight years old. I make six figures. My credit score is eight hundred and ten, and I have references from previous landlords. I’m neat and clean up after myself. I’m not home a lot, but when I am, I’m pretty quiet. I’m also damn good with a hammer.” He glanced around my apartment and pointed at a hole I’d accidentally made in the wall when I flung the closet door open too hard. “I can spackle that and put on a door stopper so it won’t happen again.” He pointed to the kitchen. “And those cabinets are pretty tall. I’m six foot one. No more having to stand on a chair to reach something on the top shelf. And—”
The timer on the stopwatch buzzed.
“Can I just say one last thing?”
“Sure. Why not?”
“I’ll share my Hulu and Netflix passwords. I have the premium Hulu account.”
I laughed. “Well, those are some pretty enticing qualities for a roommate.”
He smiled. “So I’m in?”
I sighed. “I’m sorry. While I appreciate your tenacity, unfortunately, you’re not. Though I interviewed fourteen other people today, and I have to say, you do seem like you’ll make some other lucky person a fantastic roomie.”
Declan frowned, but nodded. “I figured it was worth a shot. This is a great building, and I work right around the corner. It’s hard to find an apartment where it’s only a six-month commitment.”
“My lease is up then, and I haven’t decided if I’m going to extend or not.”
“See? That’s another reason I’d be perfect. I’m only in town for six more months.”
“I’m sorry. This is definitely a case of it’s me and not you.”
He picked up his wine and guzzled it down before standing and extending his hand. “I appreciate you giving me your time. And thanks for the pinot.”
We shook. “It was nice to meet you, Declan.”
After I walked him out, I shut the door and leaned back against it. What a shame; he really seemed like a nice guy and the best candidate I’d met by a mile. I was just about to go wallow in another glass of alcohol when there was a knock at my door. Checking the peephole before opening, I found Declan standing there.
“I forgot something important,” he said.
“Oh? What’s that?”
He took out his wallet and produced a photo of a nun. “This is my sister Catherine, and it’s not a costume from Halloween. She’s a legit nun. How bad can a person be if his sister is a nun?”
I laughed. “Is this the sister who dunked your head in the toilet?”
He grinned. “It is, actually.”
“Well, I’m not sure there’s a direct correlation between your sister deciding to dedicate her life to the church and you being a good person. Though, even if I take your word for it, it still doesn’t change my answer.”
Declan’s shoulders drooped. “Had to try. She tells me her being a nun won’t get me into heaven. Thought maybe it was good for something.”
“Goodbye, Declan.”
“Later, Mollz.”

***

“So…how’s the roommate search going?” Emma poured a cup of coffee and sat down at the small table in our break room.
I sighed. “Why is it so hard to find a normal person these days? I’ve interviewed more than a dozen people, and not one suitable candidate.”
“Did you post an ad on the employee bulletin board, like I suggested?”
I shook my head. “I don’t want another nurse or tech. It makes it weird at work if things don’t work out.”
“Maybe Dr. Dandy will apply.” She wiggled her eyebrows. “I heard he’s sleeping on Dr. Cohen’s couch until he finds a place.”
That information certainly perked me up. “Really? Will and whatshername broke up?”
“Yup. Lisa in X-ray told me Dr. Cohen told her he’s staying with him. Apparently he and the wannabe actress are finito.”
“Wow.”
Emma smiled. “Yup. And fair warning, my friend… I’m allowing a ten-day grace period for him to grieve the end of a year-long relationship. But after that, I’m going to be up your butt making sure you let the man know you’re interested. He’s not going to be on the market for long, and you missed your opportunity last time he was single. You can’t keep pining for the guy.”
Of course she was right. And while I felt elated that Will was back on the market, the thought of coming clean to him about my feelings made me want to throw up. Will Daniels—or as Emma called him, Dr. Dandy, because of his last name and uncanny resemblance to a male model named David Gandy—and I had been good friends for four years now. We’d started on the very same day at the hospital and had gone through orientation together. I’d had a boyfriend back then, and he’d been seeing a girl from med school at the time, so even though I’d always thought he was insanely handsome, things didn’t bloom until two years ago. And most of the time since then, he’d been seeing one woman or another. Emma was right that the man never seemed to stay single for long.
“He’s going to be at happy hour this Friday night,” I said. “A few of the crew from CCU are meeting up over at McBride’s. I’m curious to hear what he says about the breakup.”
“Does he know you’re looking for a roommate?”
“I don’t think so.”
“Well, he needs a place to sleep, and you need a roomie.” Emma shrugged. “Timing is everything. Maybe it’s fate and he’ll move in and take care of two of your needs.”
“I think your imagination might be getting ahead of itself. Why don’t we start by seeing if things are really over with him and whatshername? They’ve split up a few times, but he always winds up going back.”
“Okay. But I have a good feeling about you two.”
“Could you possibly have a good feeling about me finding a roommate instead? I just had to pay for another damn ad.”
Emma shook her head. “I can’t believe you didn’t find one decent candidate.”
Remembering my last interview, I said, “Actually there was one who would’ve been perfect—great credit score, neat, cooks, leaves early in the morning, and works long days.”
“So why didn’t you take her?”
“Because she was a he.”

Devil I Hate

By: Jillian Quinn

Release Date: March 31, 2021

Publisher: Penn Publishing

Author Website: https://www.jillianquinnbooks.com/

4 Stars

Devil I Hate, book one Jillian Quinn's The Devil's Knights series, from the first page onward had no restraints and lots of questions that will keep readers on the edge of their seats!

This was a dark fast past story mired in intrigue and mirages that kept readers guessing right along with the characters. Every chapter offered a new clue that altered perspectives even while holding readers captivated by events.  Chemistry was literally combusting off the pages as the laws of attraction were bent and twisted. Luca was dominating, cunning and mysterious in his interactions, holding Alexandrea in his grasp both willingly and unwillingly. Enter Luca's brother Marcello and the heat and competition put this story next level in intensity.

Broken portrayals trying to make the best of a fate they had no say in and a shared darkness made an interesting story. Ms. Quinn used flashbacks well in moving this work forward. A dark agenda and intense portrayals made Devil I Hate a quick and absorbing read to escape into.

*I was given an advanced copy. All opinions expressed are my own.*

*This work is part of a series and ends on a cliffhanger.*

Don’t let my future husband’s good looks fool you… He’s the villain in our love story.

Luca Salvatore is cold and cruel, a bully who haunts my dirty dreams and my nightmares.

Our marriage was arranged before we’d ever met. A fate I had accepted until my brother vanished without a trace.

Luca knows what happened to my twin brother.

He’s the leader of a secret society called The Devil’s Knights. A billionaire boys’ club for the most entitled monsters on the planet. They’re connected to my brother’s disappearance… and I want revenge.

So when my handsome Devil summons me back to the town I hate as much as him, it’s impossible to resist his call.

I will do anything to get my brother back.

Even if it means playing by Luca’s rules.

And after I tempt him into spilling his secrets, I’m taking my Devil back to Hell where he belongs.

The Devil I Hate is book one in a dark romance trilogy and has themes that are not suitable for everyone. If you can imagine falling in love with a villain, you will love The Devil’s Knights.

No man has ever been able to rattle Isabel Ward. Until Aiden Hennessy walks in the door of her gym—ownership papers in hand. 

The former fighter is a lot of things- a devoted single dad, a widower trying to start over, and a watchful presence that knocks her off her very capable feet. 

To make matters worse, Isabel had a crush on him for the entirety of her teenage years. Doodles in her diary, and letters declaring her admiration—while never sent—haunt the absolute crap out of her now that she has to face him every single day. 

She’s not the only one affected. 

No woman has tempted Aiden to move on from the memory of his wife—until Isabel. But she’s too young, too feisty, too much of everything he should avoid. 

Working together makes avoidance impossible, and so is pretending like the blistering chemistry between them doesn’t exist. 

Now that the unshakeable woman is shaken and the un-temptable man is tempted, Isabel and Aiden have to decide what they’re willing to risk for a taste of the forbidden.

Widow’s Undoing

By: L. Wilder

Release Date: March 21, 2021

Publisher: L. Wilder

Author Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/AuthorLeslieWilder/

5 Stars

L Wilder adds another great addition to her Ruthless Sinners series with Widow's Undoing!

Widow and Frankie were of a kind. This couple each came from a history of abuse, making their shared similar experiences and intuitive understanding of each other the very things that enabled them to open up to each other and to the possibilities they had cut themselves off in the past. This was a touching romance with the interactions between this pair bouncing between awkward, sweet and full on steamy. The battle Widow and Frankie encountered in feeling drawn to each other yet carrying the weight of their past was depicted well. Seeing this couple build each other up was moving and heartwarming. Standing out, Widow's exchanges with Frankie's son's were seemingly effortless even while carrying so much significance. A wonderful secondary cast offered insight and depth to an already solid story.

When you begin a L. Wilder book it is like opening the door home, her tough bikers give the best book hugs that keep her readers coming back for more! As to be expected this author shared the two sides of her bikers' in Widow's Undoing, the brotherhood and the civilian. With an uncanny ability she realistically managed to balance her bikers' ruthless brutality against their softer sides for remarkable portrayals. L.Wilder keeps her plots impossible to put down with the perfect combination of compassionate personal stories intertwined with club intrigue. Widow's Undoing hit the pages at full speed for another not to be missed L.Wilder amazing ride!

Twisted Cravings

By: Cora Reilly

Release Date: March 13, 2021

Publisher: Cora Reilly

Author Website: https://corareilly.com/

5 Stars

Cora Reilly takes on the youngest Falcone brother in Twisted Cravings for another emotionally charged story in book six of her Camorra Chronicles!

Adamo was always the brother that stood apart. Throughout this series he was the brother who questioned his family and his involvement in it. This was a great exploration of his coming to terms with his role in his family. Ms. Reilly did a great job of showing how Adamo differed from his brothers even as he came to terms with acknowledging and embracing his similar inclinations. Dinara like Adamo stood on the periphery of her world, finding enough to care about to not forsake it but not enough to fully accept it. Two kindred spirits, this pair were sensitive despite their tough exteriors as well as heartbreakingly similar in their brokenness and avenues of escape. Their attraction to each other was well played out and how they evolved as a couple was not only unique but fitting for two characters that struggled to find their place within their family’s expectations.

Both of Adamo and Dinara carried on Ms. Reilly's tradition of hidden depths, what you least expect she confronts leaving both her portrayals and audience reeling from the impact. This writer shows her strength in giving the veneer of normalization to behaviors that break boundaries and while not condoning them applying reasoning that demonstrates why her character's actions make sense in the world they live in. Twisted Cravings was a brutal story not because of the activities you would expect within the mob arena she writes in but other circumstances. How this writer brought truths to light in this story was intense and gave little reprieve even as she managed to be very considerate and sensitive to the serious nature of her story. Even while focused on Adamo and Dinara's story Ms. Reilly adeptly added layers to her already multifaceted supporting characters from previous works.

Cora Reilly is consistently brilliant with her stories as she elevates her antiheroes and finds new ways to give them heroic attributes within the scope of their darkness. Her heroines are not pushovers and are as clever and they are genuine. This writer has created a universe of harsh brutality tempered with glimmers of humanity that pulls her readers in and leaves them constantly on edge and thirsting for more. Cora Reilly's Twisted Cravings came with the expected cuts and bruises this author liberally doles out in her work and like her previous stories in this series it was worth every bit of pain!

*I was given an advanced copy. All opinions expressed are my own. *
*While part of a series this book can be read as a stand alone.*

Excerpt

She was stunning with her high cheekbones, plump lips and long legs. The fire in her eyes and that confident smile curling her lips made her look like a fierce goddess, especially with that red hair flaming up in the sinking sun. 

She stopped right in front of me. “And? Did we pass the inspection? Are we allowed to participate in your race circus?”

I smirked. “You’re allowed to participate in the qualification race today. If you make it into our racing camp that’s up to you and your driving skills.”

Dinara tilted her head. “I’m not worried about my driving skills, Falcone. What about yours? When was the last time you did a qualification race? You’re set in the main races, aren’t you?”

She had quite a mouth on her and bravado, I had to give it to her. Most people, even in the racing camp, either kissed the ground I walked on or tried to stay clear of my path from fear. 

“I’m a part of the camp, because I’m one of the best drivers, Dinara. If I’d join the qualification race, that would only mean that fewer new drivers would get a chance to qualify.” The racers who participated in all the main races in the season were part of our racing camp, which was what the name promised: a camp where we all lived in the months of the races. 

She leaned closer, giving me the chance to really admire the blue-green of her eyes, a shade I’d never seen. “Then why don’t you join the race today? Show off your amazing driving skills. Let’s see what you got, Falcone.”

I usually wasn’t easily baited but Dinara had me on her hook. I wanted to impress her, and I wanted to know why she was here. What her endgame was. “All right,”I said, grinning. “I’ll race today but don’t come crying to me afterward because your brother didn’t make the cut.”

“Dima’s a big boy. He can handle himself. Don’t underestimate him.”

“I don’t underestimate either of you. But you better not underestimate me either. I’m a Falcone, winning runs in my blood.”

“Arrogance too?”

I smiled. “I think you and I both don’t lack confidence when it comes to racing. Now let’s stop the chitchat and prove we aren’t just words.”

Dinara stood on her tiptoes, leaning even closer and bringing her lips close to my ear. “Yes, let’s do that, Adamo.”

She stepped back and turned around, walking away, giving me a perfect look at her ass in her tight pants. I ran a hand through my hair. She was a hot piece of ass, but I preferred less trouble in my sex life. Hooking up with grid girls or the rare racer girl had proven a hassle in the past, so I’d stopped reacting to advances. Business and pleasure better stayed separated.

When the Storm Breaks

By: Emery Rose

Release Date: March 5, 2021

Publisher: Emery Rose

Author Website: https://authoremeryrose.com/

5 Stars

Powerful feelings come into play in Emery Rose's fated romance When the Storm Breaks. The past dictates the present and two people's fate takes over as they find themselves so intertwined that there is no choice but to capitulate and accept a love that was meant to be.

Brody and Shiloh were such an intuitive couple they shared some experiences and empathized with others, in the end they were joined at the soul. Individually and together they were wonderfully constructed characters, complex and interesting. Far from perfect in the end it was the acceptance of their imperfects that made them standout and made them so appealing. The interactions between this couple was genuine adding additional layers to their relationship. Every moment in this work was significant and held an important role in this story's development.

This author thrives in stories that are riddled with heartache and life's less fortunate, yet somehow she always manages to find the right angles to salvage her brutalized portrayals. No one walks away unscathed but what they do walk away with are lessons learned and hard earned rewards. It is hard not to fall into the tumultuous emotions of her stories, they are absorbing, soul crushing and in contrast heart warming. This author brings true and gritty feelings to her works and they translate beautifully to her audience. When the Storm Breaks is another memorable romance from Emery Rose that will leave you believing in love.

Brody McCallister was only supposed to be a means to an end. My golden ticket to get me closer to what I really needed—a way to make peace with what I’d done when I was eighteen, dirt poor, and left to fend for myself.

I only had six weeks in the middle of a hectic world tour to do it.

So the last thing I needed was to fall for a cocky cowboy. A walking contradiction with a charming grin, a dirty mouth, and a gift for healing wild and broken things. 

His life was in Texas.

Mine was on the road.

He guarded his privacy fiercely.

I was constantly hounded by paparazzi.

Everyone warned me it could never work, that ultimately I’d be forced to choose—my music career or him. 

I didn’t listen. I fell for him anyway. 

Hook, line, and proverbial sinker.

 But Brody was hiding secrets.

And when the storm finally broke, it destroyed everything in its wake ... including us.

They say the truth will set you free, but they've never met a liar like me.

I know his type: slick, stupid, and so far up his own ass it’s a miracle he can still breathe. In other words, he’s exactly what I’m looking for.

ANDIE:

Love is fake and so are most people. That’s why I prefer to keep it real by speaking my mind, using posers for my own devices, and protecting what’s mine. So when Ponch Amante swaggers up to my front door with his smirky face and annoying charm, all I see is a solution to a problem. If he agrees to be my fake boyfriend, I can get out from under my parents’ blackmail scheme to pair me up with one of their sanctimonious Ivy League spawns of Satan. Anything would be preferable to that—even putting up with Ponch for a few weeks. I, of all people, can resist a guy like him, right?

PONCH:

I know her type: frigid ballbuster with a huge chip on her shoulder. She wouldn’t know good sex if it hit her between her creamy white thighs. But the family she works for owns half the town, including the building I want to rent for my new motorcycle gear shop. One word from her can get me the shop, so if she needs a fake boyfriend for whatever crazy plan she has, I’ll be her fricking Prince Charming on a white Harley. It’s a no-risk investment as far as I’m concerned because there’s no way in hell I’d ever fall for someone like Andie. And that’s no lie.

An Unexpected Earl

By: Anna Harrington

Release Date: February 23, 2021

Publisher: Sourcebooks Casablanca

Author Website: https://www.annaharringtonbooks.com/

5 Stars

Intrigue and dark plotting round out An Unexpected Earl with liberal doses of romance for a well designed read from the talented Anna Harrington in book two of her Lords of the Armory series!

Brandon Pearce came from nothing to inherit the power and prestige of an Earldom. At heart he was a loyal Brigadier who found that the trappings of his new title meant little without the ethics he carried as a war hero and loyal friend. Amelia Howard saw the harsh world through kindness and unfortunately paid a heavy price for this. Through tragic circumstances Amelia became a strong woman who no longer took things at face value. Childhood sweethearts and best friends, the strong relationship that this pair built when they were younger proved to be a substantial foundation for their reunion as adults. Despite the changes that took place in their years apart they still clung to their fundamental characters and in some respects it was as if they had never been separated, especially where their hearts laid. The witty repartee between Brandon and Amelia was fun and just as often conveyed the unspoken desire that simmered between this couple. This author is adept at flowing between playful and serious in her characters' interactions.

A tremendous amount of research goes into this author's work for robust and vivid explorations of the past. Her historical details are accurate, fascinating and a perfect backdrop for her characters to explore their relationships. With Anna Harrington you don’t just wish you could revisit the past because it feels like she has transported you there. Even as her strong eye for detail draws you in it is her sensitive portrayals that standout as exceptional and keep bringing her audience back. Often a struggle with historical romance writers is bringing to their readers heroine's that modern women can relate to without compromising their situation in history. Of note this author does a fantastic job of devising strong female characters even while finding ways to highlight this trait in historic context. Anna Harrington's An Unexpected Earl is a romantic adventure that will not only keep readers on their toes but curl them in delight!

Title: The Crush

Author: Penelope Ward

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Release Date: February 22, 2021

BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone, second-chance story of forbidden love… 

It’s natural to want the one you can’t have. And for as long as I could remember, I’d secretly wanted my brother’s best friend, Jace. 

He was six years older and always treated me like the sister he never had. 

Fast forward a decade. 

We were all in our twenties now. Jace had moved in with my brother, Nathan, and me to help us make ends meet after our parents died. 

It was just the three of us—an odd family dynamic. 

Living under our roof, Jace was as bossy and protective as ever. 

But he certainly didn’t look at me like a sister anymore. That was what made things so complicated. 

I was pretty much hot and bothered twenty-four-seven. 

And he was torn. 

The signs were subtle, at first. Like on movie night, I’d casually rest my leg against his, and he wouldn’t exactly shift away. 

Still, I assumed he would never…go there. 

Nathan would kill us. 

The knowledge of that wasn’t enough to stop the inevitable, though. 

Eventually our slow burn exploded. 

But more than the physical attraction, we’d developed a strong connection. 

We just couldn’t get caught, right? 

That sounded simple. 

Until it wasn’t. 

This is a story of forbidden love, broken trust, and an unexpected second chance.

Eastern Lights

By: Brittainy C. Cherry

Release Date: February 17, 2021

Publisher: Brittainy C. Cherry

Author Website:  http://www.bcherrybooks.com/

4.5 Stars

Brittainy C. Cherry brings a great addition to her compass series in Eastern Lights!

Connor Roe first made his appearance as an intriguing secondary character in Southern Storms, in his own story he not only stood out but jumped off the pages. An older Connor was a brilliant and driven businessman, yet he retained the charm and goodness that first drew the attention of readers of Southern Storms. His down to earth approach to life joined with his humor and sweetness enhanced an already magnetic hero and pretty much ensured his book boyfriend status with readers.

Aaliyah Winters's life was filled with hard knocks but still she held onto the romantic that lived within her shy walls. She struggled with love and even at her lowest where she contemplated forsaking love, she ultimately went to try to find it. Strong when she needed to be and vulnerable without being a victim Aaliyah was the perfect match for Connor.

As this pair grappled with fear of being vulnerable, they shared a wonderful bond full of adventure and fun but even more so a reliable shoulder to lean on in times of trouble. Connor and Aaliyah were an extremely likeable couple, and Ms. Cherry did a lovely job of allowing readers to see why they were drawn to each other from their individual perspectives. It was impossible to not get caught up in their attraction.

Brittainy C. Cherry always goes to the edge with her characters. In Eastern Lights pain and pivotal life events shook up her characters but this author found ways to bring them the peace they need even while offering comfort to her readers as they empathized with her portrayals struggles. Eastern Lights shared the beauty of life in the most unexpected ways for a moving love story.

Ashton Morgan Apartment 17b

By: Aly Stiles

Release Date: February 12, 2021

Publisher: Aly Stiles

Author Website: http://www.alysonsantos.com/

5 Stars

In Ashton Morgan Apartment 17b Aly Stiles shares a touching story and shows that even in the darkest moments the gifts of unconditional love and kindness can be transformative.

There are many reasons that elevate a character to hero status but being an exceptional human being is by far the most attractive and Ashton Morgan wore his title well. Downtrodden and surrounded by despair could very well be defined as this character. Ashton was someone that truly did not know his worth but his refusal to be defeated by a constant stream of obstacles and his staying true to the goodness within him made him a beautifully devised character. He never appeared weak even at his lowest moments, stripped bare with nothing left to give he always found a reserve.

Iris Alexander was a kind, gentle person that recognized her privilege and blessings in life. With her refusal to be blinded to the suffering of others she was an exception in the crowd she was part of. Iris's strength, kindness and persistence were not overblown or fantastical but core to her make up. She was a genuinely decent person who managed to recognize decency in others.

This work was more than just a love story, it was about friendship and loyalty and not giving up when times are hard. This couple shared a true connection that rose above class barriers and the different circles they moved in. One of the things that stood out in this relationship was the building of a friendship that went beyond wooing and flirting but a committed interest in all parts of each other's lives. Ashton and Iris each had their own issues but the awareness they derived from each other was a significant catalyst to recognizing what was needed to handle them. Potential often felt like a myth as survival mechanisms took over Ashton and Iris but the hope, they inspired in each other allowed them to move forward. The acceptance of flaws and the elevation of capabilities was well balanced in this book for a realistic portrayal of this couple’s evolution. From the start this pair fought a losing battle for a love that was inevitable.

This was an emotional story with no shortage of tears, do not expect dry eyes when reading it. Aly Stiles explored the power of love In Ashton Morgan Apartment 17b from multiple angles ranging from romantic, parental, sibling and friend taking her leads from tragedy to endless possibilities. Hitting rock bottom and finding your way to better times is a subject that Ms. Stiles handles with tenacious grace. This author always does an exceptional job of giving in-depth insight into all her characters and has an uncanny ability in capturing the emotions of her younger portrayals. Aston Morgan, Apartment 17b was worth every angst filled page, a standout book for this year and a recommended Jenerated Reviews read!

Swedish hockey player, Anders “Iceberg” Berg, is counting the days until he’s an unrestricted free agent and can land the contract he’s worth.

Olivia Dyer can’t wait to put the year behind her. Her father died, and the event hall she ran at her family’s distillery was destroyed.

About Scarlett

Scarlett Cole is a contemporary romance author that calls both Toronto, Canada and Manchester, England home. A born city dweller, she periodically quashes the urge to live in the country by hiking up a mountain to remind herself that living away from people would terrify the pants off her.

She believes everybody deserves their love story to be told and loves her heroes on the rough and rugged side…and usually tall (because she married one of those 6ft 6” men you read about in romance!). She’s an A-type personality and Scorpio star sign, so good luck getting her to do anything she doesn’t want to.

When she isn’t writing, she’s happy to talk hot men and expensive shoes while drinking a cold gin and tonic. Don’t bring up olives. As far as Scarlett is concerned, they are the devil’s food. As long as you don’t bring up olives, she’s happy to hear from any time.
