Gah!! Bethany slayed me with this one. I knew Dino's story would be sad and tortured, but man, my heart broke for him.
I love the Chicago 5 DINO STARS
Gah!! Bethany slayed me with this one. I knew Dino's story would be sad and tortured, but man, my heart broke for him.
I love the Chicago War series and from meeting Dino in the first book, I was so intrigued by this character and wanted more. When I heard Bethany was giving us his book and a duet, no less, I was one happy girl!
While this can be read as a standalone from the Chicago War series, I'd definitely recommend you read it, either before or after. I don't think it really matters.
The De Luca's have a sad and sordid family history and Dino was the first to break the cycle. He sacrificed a lot for his family, his brother and sister, and he didn't do it to be a martyr. He did because he was selfless. When he meets Karen, their pairing is hopeful, yet also sad as she becomes very important to him and he is willing to do anything to keep her safe. Even hurt her by pushing her away.

Those Dean brothers are easy to love and to then find out there was another bunch of brothers, this made me on happy girl!
Here we have Ryker (just the name alone does something to me) and his brothers - Heath and Denver, running from their past while they strive to help others and also find out more about who they are.
Running their own private investigative services, they help people find missing people and other similar type cases. Ryker meets Zara when her law firm hires him and the two become friends with benefits. It's when Zara comes into trouble that Ryker realizes he wants more and at the same time, his past comes a little too close for comfort.
This story is full of tension, a few twists and lots of action. And not to mention, the cameo of the Dean brother's was the cherry on top of it all!
You don't have to have read the Sin Brothers to read this series although I'd suggest that you do. Either before or after this series, it's worth the read. I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.

This is the third book in Molly’s spellbinding dark world of drug dealers, bikers and all around bad guys. Where the other books were4.5 BURNING STARS
This is the third book in Molly’s spellbinding dark world of drug dealers, bikers and all around bad guys. Where the other books were dark and dangerous, this book takes on a whole new edginess that turned up the heat. This story starts of with a bang and only gets darker, hotter and more intriguing as the story unfolds.
She's on a mission to save her sister and nothing will stop her. Not even Max, a hot, badass MC president, will get in her way. Max has his own problems with his MC.
As things get out of control real fast, Joan kidnaps (kind of) Max. She’s got herself in a life or death situation and he might be the only one who can help her. He's her leverage or link to getting what she wants.
Max and Joan are survivors with near impenetrable cold as ice exteriors but a deep sense of family and a huge sense of responsibility of those they love. She won't accept help, let people in or let herself feel anything. She and Max have this fiercely intense connection, well before they find themselves stuck together. But it's this live wire of emotions that has them “Throwing hand grenades at each other.” She's determined to do this on her own, but Max refuses to let her go into the dark alone.
In some ways, this was a slow build (in the physical sense) between Max and Olivia, but the heat was real and scorching throughout with these two searing each other with razor-sharp words, incendiary looks...and when they do get together...
While it could be read as a standalone, I’d recommend you read the other two books first, as you get glimpses at both Joan and Max that will add another dimension to this tumultuous tale.
Highly recommend this burning second lease on life story!!

I seriously didn’t want this book to end. From the moment I stepped foot into Susan Fanetti’s world of the Night Horde and Signal6++ Signal Bend STARS
I seriously didn’t want this book to end. From the moment I stepped foot into Susan Fanetti’s world of the Night Horde and Signal Bend, it felt like home. These brothers with big hearts who make their own laws and don’t shy away from the dark side, and their strong, vibrant women who stand by their side were like family.
Nolan was a young boy and grew into a man with this series. His story was simply perfection. His life has been, in Susan’s words, ”…the seesaw of loss and gain, sadness and hope…” and seeing him grow and navigate life was bittersweet.
Isaac’s had my heart from day one and while I’ve loved each and every one of the Night Horde, he’s been number 1. But I must say, Nolan gave him a run for the money. His journey to find his way and come to peace, and for me too, was moving with highs and lows. And as I’ve come to expect, Susan had me crying a few times in sadness and happiness.
“But his love was a raw, desperate thing, like a beast that had been caged up and starved.”
Susan's a masterful storyteller. Her characters burrow into your heart and move you, and her stories captivate, inspire and enrich your heart and your mind. If you haven't read this series or you haven't read Susan, I can't recommend enough that you do!

Before this series, I’d only read one book by Jewel E. Ann and FLOVED it – Undeniably You. When I saw One was coming out but it was recommended to read this series first, I made it my mission to do so. Damn, I’m beyond glad that I did. Forget the story, it’s brilliantly done but I’m not going to talk about it. You NEED to experience it first-hand.
As for the characters and the emotions, this series was wrought with light and dark, good and evil, the capacity to survive and love, and the complexity of the human psyche.
There were so many things going on in this series, so many characters to adore and a few to loathe, which made for an intensely rich, emotionally packed read.
"In a life filled with monsters, their love was a survivor."
[image]
The heroine, Jessica/Jillian, and secondary character, Ryn, were different in so many ways but the same in the most important. While both faced the ugliness and brutality of life, they're both survivors. Yes, they had their own weaknesses and their own coping mechanisms but IMO, they both rose above it all.
And the men…Luke, Jude/Jackson and AJ…with each of them, I adored them all for all very different reasons. That’s what I loved about this story. Jewel gave me three heroes to fawn over and fall for. Where Luke was adoration and morality, Jackson was ruthless love and never ending loyalty and AJ was broken love and strength of spirit.
[image]
"Love is reckless because true emotions are immune to logic. The most beautiful love stories are often the most tragic.”
I highly recommend this series. You won’t regret meeting the Jack and Jill twins and going on their journey! I’m thrilled I had my girl, Maida, to rant, squee and cry with!

BEFORE READING
BR with my babe, Maida, with the finale of this fantastic series!
This is one of those books that everything ached while I read the story that unfolded but I couldn't help myself. This series is about the forbidden love between Calisto Donati, consigliere and nephew to Affonso, the boss and his wife, Emma (Emmy) Donati.
I was already highly strung and full of heartache at the end of book 1, Thin Lies, this second book picks up right where things left off. Taking the angst and turmoil and kicking up about a 100 scorching degrees.
"Calisto Donati would never be hers. This wasn’t a fairy tale that would end happily. They weren’t star-crossed. They were impossible."
Like Cal and Emmy, this whole story was a tidal wave of emotions. Try as they might to fight their connection and attraction, it's a losing battle.
“We’re not very good at this whole thing, are we?” he asked. “I don’t understand what you mean.” “Being near one another.”
[image]
No matter the impossible circumstance, these two finally give into their desire, flirting with fire and navigating the dangerous world they live in for stolen moments together.
“Do not walk on lines so thin that they’ll break under your weight, Calisto.”
The intensity and passion between Cal and Emmy is palpable and all consuming. This was so well written and flawlessly executed, weaving a masterful tale of betrayal, secrets and lies, and a love so great that no obstacle is too great. Like all things forbidden, there's always the risk of having to face dire consequences for your actions. And like a guillotine, this threat and the very possible reality hangs heavy over their heads throughout the book.

Let me start by simply stating that I FLOVE Bear! I adored Lawless. Bear and Thia - adore them together. She is perfect for him.
While this was a fast read and at times interesting, I would have liked more of Thia and Bear together. It didn't feel like enough. Also, some of this story line seemed to just come out of left field. I can't say more without getting into too much.
This was my first Mary Elizabeth read and I'm in awe. I like real, raw, beautiful disarray and this was all of that. I felt so much with this story and was constantly torn between right and wrong because life isn’t that simple and the forces at work can make a man with a good heart do bad things.
Lowen (Low) Seely is born into a hard, depressing and desolate life that very few ever escape. And for many, it's not for a lack of dreaming or trying but rather the harsh reality that society doesn't make it easy. He's from the dark side of the Southland with a father incarcerated for life and a mother doing her best to make ends meet for him and his younger sister. Being the "man" in the family, from a very young age, when life gives you very few opportunities and means will make you desperate and reckless.
Poesy (Poe) Ashby is drawn to Low and doesn't care about rich or poor, right or wrong, or anything else but being with him. And for Low, Poe is IT. She makes life worth living and despite all the darkness and hopelessness surrounding them, with her, it's worth it.
I consumed this story in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down. And while it’s definitely a modern day Bonnie and Clyde story, it’s original, consuming and poignant.
And Mary Elizabeth’s words…were just beautifully poetic. I highlighted dozens of pages as her captivating words unfolded this heartbreaking, disquieting and beautifully chaotic love story. Here are just some of the quotes that had me breathless:
“Rose thorns and grass clippings, bus rides and forbidden kisses.” [image]
“I shredded innocence with heavy threats and killed hopes with gunfire.” [image]
“Panic is guilt’s favorite companion, tag-teaming sanity and heart until I can’t think clearly or rationalize.”
[image]
If you're up for a wild ride that will you have you on the edge of your seat, holding your breath, hoping for the best but preparing for the worst, you have to read Low!!

Words escape me! Have no clue How Julie comes up with these originally awesome stories! With a nod to the smart, sassy, beautiful Molly, I’m listing this book!
The perfect list – 10 things to rave about in this book:
“If there’s any doubt about why you’re here, you better get up and walk out now. Because in five seconds I’m gonna fuck the ever-loving shit out of you. I’m gonna make you my prisoner. I’m gonna keep you here until I’m good and satisfied.”

This entire series is one big power play and I love it! The third book in this series is Theo DeLuca and Evelina Con5+++ “Madness Most Discreet” STARS
This entire series is one big power play and I love it! The third book in this series is Theo DeLuca and Evelina Conti’s story. While all is quiet and it appears as though things are settling down within the Chicago Outfit, it’s really the calm before the storm. The war is not over and the power struggle for the big boss man’s seat is still very much in play as jealousy, greed and violence continues to breed and fester among the ranks.
If I had to sum this book up, I could easily do it in one word – THEO! I never thought I’d say this but Theo DeLuca has given Dante Marcello a run for his money, IMHO.
Thank you, Bethany for such a hauntingly handsome, alpha male!!
This tale was layer upon layer of scheming. I just love how it was like peeling an onion. Bethany slowly reveals the plots and plans of the numerous players in the Chicago Outfit and sometimes it caused a bite, a sting and a few tears.
“The Outfit had cut too many scars into the people it called family, Theo included. Everyone had marks to show. No one in this life walked around scarless.”
Evelina Conti is the daughter of the current boss and as far as impressions go, she's every bit the Italian principessa. Always the good girl although she’s hating every minute of it. On her 18th birthday she catches Theo’s eye and then these two circle around each other in one way or another.
“Evelina was a beautiful young woman. Theo would need to be stupid, blind and an idiot not to see it. She was also ten shades of trouble…”
Both Evelina and Theo are pawns in other people’s games and yet people under estimate them. They see much more than most give them credit for. As these two get to know each other better, the mafia war picks up and violence, secrets and lies envelope them.
Eve and Theo together were off the charts HOT. Every encounter between Eve and Theo was explosive. I desperately wanted to be Eve; she's one damn lucky girl!
“This man was such a mind fuck. One minute, he seemed like he didn’t give a damn if she was alive or dead. The next, he was doing a complete one-eighty.”
"Tell me to stop." Evelina shook her head. Theo's fingers on her cheek and neck pressed a little harder. It was lovely and wicked. She wanted more. More of his roughness, more of his touch. "Tell me to stop." [image] "Do you fuck like this, too?" she asked instead. Theo's gaze darkened. "Eve." "Do you?" "Yes." "Wonderful. Don't stop."
And as the danger picks up, Theo and Eve realize they are so much more to each other than a fiercely insane sexual attraction, or the guy that uses the girl and the girl that lets him so she can get what she wants.
“I would rather love a man entirely. Hidden monsters, scars, secrets and all. Enough isn’t just good enough for me. The whole point of giving your heart to someone is getting theirs in return. I don’t want a piece of some man’s heart. I want his whole heart, even if that means holding the pieces of it together.”
My freakin’ favourite quote and the only reason you need as to why I just LOVED Theo:
“Have you ever begged for it, Eve? Ever found a man that made you so fucking wet, got your blood hot and your muscles aching without even touching you that you just wanted to beg him to fuck you? Has a man ever put you on your knees and made you ask for it? Have you found a man that made you want to get on your knees and ask for it? Tell me you’ve had the pleasure of looking up at a man and asking for him, Eve, begging to suck his cock or to be fucked good and hard because you wanted him that badly. Tell me.”
In my opinion, this was the best book yet in this series! I’m more and more invested in this Chicago family and was over the moon to have the Marcellos get a cameo in this one! I highly recommend this series. You must read books 1 and 2 first to understand all that’s going on. Can’t wait for Tommas and Abriella’s book. In true Bethany fashion, she left cryptic crumbs as to the depths and complexity of their relationship and now I'm seriously intrigued.

This was so good. Enjoyed it as much as the first book and I hope there's more. Molly O'Keefe's writing is spellbinding4.5 “You and Me. Bedrock” STARS
This was so good. Enjoyed it as much as the first book and I hope there's more. Molly O'Keefe's writing is spellbinding and captures such beautiful imagery and the emotions of - Annie and Dylan - two beautifully broken people who struggle to shed their lies and fears while daring to believe in hope, happiness and love.
Annie and Dylan's journey picks up right from the nail biting cliffy in book 1. This book is even more of a transformation or metamorphosis for both as actions and consequences force both of them to truly look deep within themselves.
Dylan’s past comes to the forefront as all the ugliness and danger he fought so hard to be rid of takes up residence in between him and Annie.
“I didn’t know what this was, this thing we had between us. But it was powerful. And compelling. And both of us had spilled blood over it.”
Dylan has this ongoing, internal and often violent struggle with himself over Annie. It was raw, gritty and consuming.
“I wanted to fuck her and protect her all at the same time. I wanted to keep her and push her away. I was everything in opposites, and I felt torn apart by her.”
And Annie questions everything about who she is, what she wants and what she's willing to give and take. It was a beautiful thing to see this lost and broken woman grow and come into her own.
Not sure if Molly has plans for more in this series but I sure hope so. As much as Blake was a real A--hole in this one, I want him to find happiness too. And yeah, Max too! What can I say? I'm a sucker for a bad boy!

This was the first of a three part series about the lives of Amelia London, America's sweetheart and Noah Sloan, Hollywood's bad boy. Both Amelia and Noah were huge in Hollywood during their childhoods and now, ten years later, both their careers are circling the drain. They both need a comeback - FAST - to salvage their stardom.
Amelia and Noah also have a not so pretty past together. Once co-stars in a hit sitcom and also lovers until Noah publicly cheated on Amelia. Since then, they are like oil and water and avoid each other at all costs.
“My first kiss? Noah My first time? Noah My first heartbreak? Noah.”
As luck would have it, they are cast together in the next big movie based on a novel with epic popularity like Fifty Shades of Grey.
I really enjoyed this quick and entertaining read. Both Amelia and Noah have their issues, let's face it, who wouldn't having grown up in the limelight? And of course, each have issues with their parents in addition to being their parents' personal ATMs.
Also, it seems as though Noah thrives on keeping his bad boy persona alive. He sleeps with random, one time hook ups and pops pills like candy. And Amelia is stuck with the good-girl label and while that's who she is, she's tried of being under the constant scrutiny.
This is a story of second chances: for another opportunity at stardom and with each other. Amelia and Noah have a lot of real, strong and mixed up emotions for each other. Together, they bring a lot of chemistry, angst, heartbreak, anger, lust and also friendship to this story.
Of course, this is also a story about lies, secrets and betrayal. It is Hollywood after all! Things are not as they seem and absolutely loved the twist that JJ threw out at the end. I want the second novella NOW!

This was so different than what I expected and I think that's one of the reasons why I loved it so much. It was even better than I could have hoped!
This pairing of Bear, who I loved more than King and about equal to Preppy from the get-go, and Thia was refreshing and so honest. I loved the simplicity of how they first meet and the bond that binds them. A connection that one of them holds so dear and the other never even gives it a second thought. Yet when their worlds collide again, at a time when both are so battered and bruised, that first encounter, that bond, takes on a life of its own. It's certainly rife with mistrust, anger and fear but it also pulls them together and forces them to face what's right in front of them.
There were moments that weren't easy in this book and if you've read King and Tyrant, you'll know exactly what I mean. I found the way Thia deals with the many terrifying, traumatic and life altering things that happen to her in a very short span of time is very realistic. My heart broke for her!
Thia and Bear are two strong and determined people and it was only fitting that Thia be a match for him. And Bear also helps her heal and when she needs it, escape from it all.
Despite Bear's dumb ass move, these two were good together even when they were fighting and fittingly, there isn't any sex, although there is a beautiful and tender moment shared between these two earlier on, until about 3/4 of the way into the book. And before you balk, it was perfect. You have to read it to understand.
"He'd claimed me. Body and soul...in that moment there was no more hiding, no more denying the truth. Bear was right. I'd always been his."
I highly recommend this book! This is my favourite of the series. You must read the first two books in this series to understand and fully appreciate this tale. All I'll say is that I pray for retribution and some kick-ass vengeance for some of the characters in this tale. And that ending! I was mad when it ended the way it did and also seriously hankering for the next book.
********************************************************** After just finished reading it. I've been waiting for Bear's story from the moment I met him in King. That was extremely good! Devoured this in one go, so much so, I went to bed waaayyyy late (or should I say early? this morning) But I couldn't put it down. And that ending!!
“I am safe. Dornan is dead. Jase is with me. The second and third are true, but the first is a lie.”
If you haven’t read the Gypsy Brothers: The Complete Series, you need to before reading this. This series is a dark romance but even at that, I wouldn't say it's a love story. This is a raw, gritty tale about vengeance, hatred and evil with love mixed in. It's not for the faint of heart and it's certainly not pretty but it's one wild ride that will keep you on edge, fists clenched and stomach churning!
“I’ve created a war that spans countries and families for generations, a war paid for in lives and blood.”
This is Juliette and Jase’s story in the aftermath of killing Dornan Ross, Jase’s father and head of the Gypsy Brother’s MC and his father, Emilio Ross, head of a drug cartel. Of course, no surprise, they're on the run. They no sooner settle in a new place and then their cover is blown. With both the MC and Cartel on their heels, Julz and Jase are constantly staring death in the face. Elliot, his daughter and ex-girlfriend are also on the run with them, as is Luis.
Jase and Julz are reeling. No surprise, vengeance doesn’t necessarily bring peace. They're drifting apart, fighting their own demons...
[image]
and the ghost of Doran that just refuses to fuck off, but they still love each other so much.
“I love you because you are you.”
This was the perfect ending to this series and so very realistic. It's not pretty at times and it's not easy but it's fitting for the journey and fight that both Jules and Jase had to face to be where they are at the end.

I’m a self-professed lover of dark reads. The darker, the grittier, the more on edge - the better. And if all this darkness can be infuse5 Luce STARS
I’m a self-professed lover of dark reads. The darker, the grittier, the more on edge - the better. And if all this darkness can be infused with passion and love, then I’m on cloud 9.
My first read by Keri Lake, Ricochet, was like that and I loved the darkness. This second book in the Vigilantes series, while also standalone, builds on that same darkness. It also takes place within the underbelly of Detroit. Where violence, corruption and monsters dominant. Where survival is its mainstay and kill or be killed, its mantra.
Jase Hawkins is an inhabitant of this darkness. Life has dealt him a shitty hand that’s had him hungry, alone, fighting to survive and helpless to protect those he loves. When faced with the chance for vengeance, Jase willingly embarks on what might be his most dangerous and deadly fight of all.
Lucia (Lucy) Novaková is a struggling photographer also living on the riskier and more desperate side of Detroit. Lucy’s not without her demons and her dreams seem too far out of reach. The solitude of her life threatens to consume her until she stumbles upon something so dark that she finds herself hunted.
Lucy and Jase’s paths collide as he hunts one thing and she runs from another. At first, their relationship is volatile and at times filled with venom and force. While for some, they may want to H/h to go all lovey dovey from the get-go, to me, this was realistic. They're both survivors and right now, each of them could be a potential threat to the other's survival.
Their connection runs deep and as things become clearer, they realize they need each other more than they've ever needed anyone before.
“His lips held a world of promise, a world I wanted to slip inside and never leave. A place as dark as the mystery that surrounded him, but brimming with excitement and danger, lust and pleasure.”
Jase is not a good man but he's not bad. And at times, he could be brutal (not to Lucy) and I knew I should likely hate him for what he's capable of but I just couldn’t. He was one of those anti-heroes that your heart breaks for and you can’t help but hope for his salvation.
I'm not going to sugar coat this. There’s a lot that’s unsettling and violent about this story but I couldn’t look away. I was captivated. This was a raw, action-packed read with all the feels.

This third and final installment in the Caged series was cathartic and healing for Liam, Tria and his family.
"I hid inside of a cage for a good chunk of my life to avoid the reality of what was outside of it. The type of hurt and pain inside the cage was one I knew how to handle, but the emotions I experienced outside the cage were too much."
The direction of the story and actions that took placed were needed for Liam to finally find peace. While it was gratifying given the torment and pain he was in, I thought it could have been shortened a bit.
Also, it lost a bit of the edge that Shay is so good at but again, I kind of understand why she softened the edges as we followed Liam on his healing journey. Going into this book, there were still a lot of questions about Liam's past, the role his parents played and this final book gave us all the answers.
Overall, this was a good and satisfying end to a really emotional and loving story.

A truly brilliant read. This series just gets better and better. I truly don't know how Susan Fanetti manages to creat6 "You’re a good people.” STARS
A truly brilliant read. This series just gets better and better. I truly don't know how Susan Fanetti manages to create these beautifully moving, uniquely heart-wrenching love stories - no two are alike and yet each bond, each connection is searing, original and breathtaking. For me, Trick and Juliana's was transcendent.
Patrick "Trick" Stavros is a thinker, an artist, a sniper, a soldier, a brother, a friend and a lover.
Juliana Dominguez is a mother, a student, a designer, a daughter, a woman and a lover.
We got a glimpse of Juliana in Con's book and she intrigued me. And Trick, I found myself falling for him also in Con's book. While he was in the background of that story, his presence was strong, steady and impressionable. Trick and Juliana's story is as beautiful and endearing as it is dark and heart breaking.
Trick is burdened, buried and frozen by his past and his sins. Juliana and her little girl, Lucie, is his now and his future. This story is vivid, warm and embracing the strength of the human spirit, the tolerance and complexity of the mind and the resilience and reverence of the heart.
And if you've never read Susan Fanetti, where the heck have you been? You must! And finally, if you're a goner for MC books, then this is a MUST READ.
For me, I really enjoy reading MC books. The brotherhood, the power, struggles and family of it all just pulls me in. Susan Fanetti does it best. No two bikers are alike and those that bond as best friends are often polar opposites and that's why it works. At the end of this book, she's included an essay from Trick on why he's in a Motorcycle Club -- This Life: What It Means -- Freedom. Rebellion. Family. Love. A truly wonderful piece that encapsulates all that draws me to her stories and why these men, the Nigh Horde (Signal Bend and SoCal), are so near and dear to my heart.
And let me tell you, the whole story pretty much keeps you on that wild ride as we learn more about Doe's past, her family and how she came to lose her memory. Of course, for King, on top of plotting to get Doe back, he's got a whole other set of problems with a really pissed off drug lord - Eli - that brings serious dark and twisted shit...not for the faint of heart!!
While I figured out most of this mystery from the end of the last book (view spoiler)[I knew Tanner was a fucking psycho and likely responsible for her disappearance. A surprise for me was Nikki! (hide spoiler)], Ms. Frazier's writing style and her ability to create such amazing characters - my fave was Bear although King grew on me even more in this one - had me totally engaged and flying through this story.
If you want a fast-paced, steamy read with lots of action, and you can handle some dark and twisted things, you should read this series!! It'll keep you on your toes!
I seriously can't wait for Bear's story!!
