He has a love/hate with the sport. Dane is intense and complex. He’s grumpy and it looks like he carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. But when he loves, he loves wholeheartedly, unconditionally and without limits. Josie graduated university but is floating around in life. Granted she’s only twenty-two. But she has no real goals. Her home life is also a bit toxic. I adored Dane the moment he is introduced. I knew there was so much more to him than what meets the eye. Josie I had mixed feelings about. But towards the end she won me over. These two have a tense and complicated relationship. But the one thing there is no doubt about is their chemistry. They are absolutely hot and steamy together. They have this magnetic pull for one another. They “feel” each other. Whether it’s one of them walking into a crowded room or the energy of the other is off. They are absolutely aware of one another. I loved that about them. The story is a bit emotional at times. And I wanted to just give Josie a big hug. I loved the epilogue. ❤️

While each book can be read as a standalone. I highly recommend reading all the books in this series. I promise you won’t go wrong. Sinfully His is a delicious spicy, taboo story. Once I started I just couldn’t put it down. The Manwarring and Astrid family still have some unfinished vengeance. And the last of the Manwarring siblings is out for the complete destruction and annihilation of one Mary Astrid. Thomas is the prodigal son of the Manwarring family. Living in Rome for the past several years has only fueled his rage and vendetta more. But he’s older and wiser now and about to play the game of revenge as an adult and not the eighteen year old boy that was wronged and exiled. His plan has been years in the making. And his form of revenge comes in the petit package that is Rose Astrid. Rose is the youngest of the Astrid siblings. She’s kind and sweet. So much in her mother’s clutches that she has no dreams or aspirations for herself. One fateful night she finds herself being dragged into an alleyway by several men. Out of the blue her supposedly knight in shining amour rescues her. But she jumped out of the fire and into the frying pan. Her hero is, yep, none other than Thomas Manwarring. Did I mention how freaking sexy he is. Yummy and delicious. Oh and did I also mention that he’s a PRIEST! But wearing the white collar is about to stop Thomas from his revenge or the dirty things he has planned for poor innocent Rose. I absolutely loved these two. Their chemistry is insanely hot and heavy. The love/hate between them makes it that just more intense and dirty. I absolutely loved reading their story and their dark and dirty road to their HEA.

It’s a quick fast read filled with sweetness and warmth. Tate and Wylder invite us back into their lives. They are both are very much in lust with each other. But still holding back on the Love part. Both have been burned badly so the pain of the past still lingers in their hearts. Love Maddy and Hazel. They complete the story. But what I loved the most was the love of family on both sides. While Tate’s families dynamics are very different that Wylder’s. The sense of family and love was the same. It’s always heartwarming getting to read a Chelle Bliss book. I always finish her books with a big smile on my face. And Claim was no exception. **3.5 stars**...more

The book left a lasting impression on me. One of the most unforgettable books I’ve ever read. So I was thrilled when the author came out with a tenth anniversary edition. Ms. Honeycutt delivers more in these new editions. More insight and more details in the overall world building of the books. After finishing Act 1 my heart and soul were devastated. Couldn’t wait for the next book. And it absolutely did not disappoint! My love for Anna and Alex was reinforced. My hatred for others was also reinforced. The action and suspense going on was thrilling and had me on the edge of my seat and my heart thumping wildly. The story is intense and a roller coaster of a ride of emotions and feelings. An absolutely unforgettable story, with remarkable characters. It’s dark and utterly intense. Parts are absolutely crushing. But it’s a love story of epic preportions. The love that is between Alex and Anna was truly remarkable. No one or anything could destroy what was between these two. Ms. Honeycutt delivered an even better and more perfected version with the tenth anniversary edition. Which I didn’t think was possible because the original was outstanding. Just loved the tenth anniversary editions!...more
Monster in Disguise is an absolutely gripping and intense book. Throughout most of it I was always on edge and my heart thumping wildly. Take heed of thMonster in Disguise is an absolutely gripping and intense book. Throughout most of it I was always on edge and my heart thumping wildly. Take heed of the authors trigger warnings. This story is very dark and the author doesn’t hold back. Marcello is a very complex character. He is multilayered. As each layer is peeled back and revealed it’s more shocking than the previous revelation. It’s twisted and dark. It’s gut wrenching and soul crushing. Catalina is such a sweet young lady. Her soul is filled with kindness and compassion. Which shines through on the outside just as it does on the inside. Life has dealt her a cruel fate. But it never crushed her soul. I admired her immensely. The dynamics between Lina and Marcello is intense. I could feel their energy and emotions come to life off the pages. Just when they think things are somewhat settling down. They get hit with another an imaginable destructive attack. And the past is about to come colliding full force into their present. Leaving in its wake devastating and terrifying results. No one will be spared. I enjoyed the epilogue and getting clues into what is coming next. **4.5 stars**...more
