“I was in a relationship with two men, and neither were giving me up.” That thought flashed through Charlotte’s brain like a bright neon light as she followed her husband out of her marriage counselor’s office. The office where she’d sat twice a week as she tried to repair the glaring problems in her marriage. The marriage that she’d fought hard to save to a man that wasn’t fighting alongside her. She’d been lied to, ignored, and used as a pawn to climb his ladder to success. Charlotte was broken, not just her marriage.

I flew through the audiobook in one day it was that good! I loved how Lacy Laurel and Alexander Neal made the story come alive with their amazing vocals. I felt all the emotions while listening. Charlie is at her breaking point in her marriage. She's literally just arm candy for her husband. She's miserable until she meets Will who makes her feel alive again. I loved Charlie she's a great character and someone you couldn't help but root for her to find her way to the life she wanted and the man she needed. I adored Will. He was a sweet, loving and sexy man who wanted the best for Charlie. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book!

Bittersweet ending to a great series
Reviewed: 09-23-20
I'm so happy we finally got Dominic's story. I have been looking forward to it and I wasn't disappointed. I knew our favorite cheesy line king would fall hard. Mila was perfect for him. I love that she was a pallas cat. It was great to see Dominic get his HEA but bittersweet to see this series come to an end. The narrator did an amazing job. The epilogue was my favorite seeing all the couples and their children put a smile on my face.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 151
The victim of a human trafficking ring, I was confined to a tiny bedroom with seven other women. The conditions were horrific. They'd taken my freedom, my clothes, and, eventually, what little hope I clung to. Then, one night, we heard gunshots. Prepared for the worst, I stood with my eyes fixed on the door, ready to meet my fate. And then, he opened the door. He saved me from the monsters. Then, he simply walked away. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that one day I would save him from his.

I'm never disappointed with a Scott Hildreth book I know it's going to be a five star read. This book was no exception. Being an audiobook made it a better experience. The narrators did an amazing job. Cholo is amazing and compassionate. Lex is strong and determined. They make the perfect pair. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and can't wait for the next one.

This was my first Mia Sheridan book and it was amazing. Her characters were so real with everyday struggles. I connected with Audra the most. I felt her pain, loss, and hope. I loved both of these characters so much. An emotional read that will give you all the feels.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 117
From best-selling author B.B. Reid comes a riveting, second-chance romance.... Never trust a nice ass and a smile. That girl is definitely poison. When I first came to Blackwood Keep, I was just looking for a thrill. Instead, I found a beautiful fraud - a tomboy my wildest dreams couldn't conjure. Bee didn't just run with boys; she ran the boys. It was only a matter of time before I gave chase. It took one summer for me to win her over and two to lose her forever. My summer love turned ice queen. Without heart or thought, she ruined me.

I have been impatiently waiting for Jamie's story since he was introduced in TPATP and stole the show with his brazenness and in your face personality. I immediately wanted more and this story sated my bloodlust.
I freaking loved this book! BB has a way of writing characters that you become emotionally invested in them(at least I do). The icing on the cake was seeing how Jamie and B met it was so cute. The narrators did a incredible job bringing the angst to life. They have unique voices and are definitely going on my fav narrators list! I feel these characters could have saved themselves some heartache by being honest. But then I wouldn't have been able to enjoy this amazing story. And that epilogue I think BB is trying to give us a heart attack with Vaughn. It's always fun catching up with the crazy inhabitants of Blackwood Keep. And I'm so looking forward to Vaughn's story and I'm sad that it's going to be the last.

Here lies Louchana Valentine. She was a homeless, orphaned virgin. I never cared what my gravestone would say until I landed in deep with a powerful gangster. Lucky for me, my best friend happens to be ruthless, too. I should feel guilty that he's forced to turn on the man who's been a father to him. Except I've always known that Wren's soul wasn't as black as he claimed. He was good. He was beautiful. He was mine. He just didn't know it yet. And with Wren keeping me safe, I've got time left to rewrite the end of my story. But if he has his way, virgin is already carved in stone.

Borrow the bike. Win the race. Collect the cash. It should've been an easy job. Ran out of town with a broken leg and a lawsuit, my mother's latest flame swoops in like a knight in gilded armor. Blackwood Keep is a place I don't belong, and I'm not the only one who knows. To the boy across the hall, my savior's only son, I'm a stray looking for a bone. He's lord of the manor. King of the academy. And number one on my shit list.

BB knows how to deliver a good enemies to lovers book. Four is forced to move in with Ever and his dad when their parents start dating. Ever views them as social climbers and doesn't give either of them a chance. Ever is also living a double life as a member of a dangerous gang in hopes that he'll find out where his mother disappeared to. I really enjoyed this book and the supporting characters were a bonus. The push/pull between Four and Ever made the story very entertaining. This is going to be a great series!
