📚 Review: Scorched Sin

🔥 Scorched Legacy #1 by Bridget Adrienne

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Scorched Legacy is Next Level spicy and CNC roleplay. Violet and Rowan do not disappoint. Like their family rivalry, they clash and come together in a scorched-earth, ruthless love. I enjoyed the Untamed Rangers, but Rowan raises the temp! Nothing and no one is going to keep this anti-hero from his queen. 

🖤 Family Rivals

🔥 Betrayals

🖤 Possessive MMC

🔥 Defiant FMC

🖤 Obsessions

🔥 Forbidden Desires

It was never supposed to be more than a crush. Ashwoods and Dravens are two dynasties bred for war. Our fathers built empires on rivalry, on territory disputes and power plays. One wrong move...Scorched Sin is a forbidden, enemies-to-lovers romance full of brutal desire, family betrayal, and obsession that can’t be buried.

Briar ~ I've never been good at following rules anyway. I specialize in obliterating them...

Definitely a great twist on the rebellious girl from a wealthy family taking a fluff job. Briar is determined to stand against what her father wants. She won't be married off to the next guy with a healthy bank account just to please her family. 

Cade has plenty of doubts where Briar is concerned. He knows her family's reputation and isn't impressed with this smart-mouthed girl. But she keeps breaking every rule, begging for his attention. Cade just can't keep Briar out of his forest or out of his mind.

Ranger's Inferno is an insta-love, quick read, full of a dominant-age-gap Ranger with a desire to hunt. And, Briar is in his sights.

📚 Review ~ Phantom's Healing

Hurricane Heat MC Book 2

🖋 Author ~ Chelle Bliss

🖋 Genre: Contemporary Romance, MC Romance, Series

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Phantom and Poppy

🏍️ Protector Biker

✂️ Single Mom in Danger

🏍️ Single Girl Dad

✂️ Found Family

Poppy ~ I wonder, after everything I’ve been through, if Phantom is the hero I never knew I needed, or if he’s the exact kind of danger I’ve been avoiding for all these years.

Poppy's main focus is taking care of her young son and keeping her thriving salon business thriving. So when a high-maintenance client walks out without paying, leaving her two kids behind, Poppy is left with no choice but to try and collect on the very high bill.

As President of the Hurricane Heat MC, Phantom doesn't have time for his ex's reckless behavior. Furious that she'd put his two daughters at risk, he storms into Poppy's salon to make things right. Completely caught off guard by her understanding, her concern for his kids, Phantom decides that this overworked mom could use a lot of his time, attention, healing.

Phantom's Healing is an awesome addition to the Hurricane Heat series. The slow build of attraction between Phantom and Poppy is as thick as the Florida humidity in summer. These two burn. While Poppy may feel conflicted, the Pres of the MC is steady and supportive, stacking the tension. The two of them together are like barreling down a dead-end street, edging to the point of forever. I can't wait for the crash!

Small-town slow burn. Single-mom sunshine, and a grumpy Brit. Steamy porch kisses. And

one very inconvenient, completely irresistible love.

Juniper & Fisher

🎨 Single Mom

️🎸 Western Romance

🎨 Small Town Artist

️🎸 Billionaire Romance

Colorado Club Billionaires #2 features local single mom and amateur artist, Juniper. She is a dedicated mother, working and saving to make sure her daughter has a bright future. I love that Juniper is so patient with her daughter, Riley. My heart aches for Riley every time her father disappoints her. 

Then there's Fisher. Dealing with his own parents' betrayal and a business rival set to undermine his company, Fisher can't seem to stop himself or his instant attraction to Juniper. Knowing that their relationship has an expiration date weighs heavily on him. But he's just not ready to be completely vulnerable now or maybe ever. 

Love Deep is an excellent addition to the series! Their love story has so many poignantly meaningful moments: She threads her hands into the back of my hair, and it feels so intimate; it provokes such a feeling of familiarity, of closeness, that for a moment it feels like I’ve known her an entire lifetime, and I will know her for another.

Bailey & Brooke & Shane

Welcome to Bliss, Colorado... Brooke feels forced to return home. She risked her dream job to stand up for herself, but now, back home, she's a failure, destined to be the town's spinsters living in a tiny house on her brothers' property. How can she tell them that their hard-earned money was wasted on her? A good distraction is just what Brooke needs to forget the complete disaster of her life. And the two cowboys to do that are Bailey and Shane. What was supposed to be just one night...turns into so much more.  

I loved Brooke's story. From her struggles with her career, the harassment she endured from her boss, and the way her family sees her, I felt all the highs and lows along with her. I could see a lot of myself in Brooke. However, Rachel's very emotional response to being a wife, a mother, and her self-view are remarkably realistic. Both of these women reflect different parts of my own experience, and the way that many of us view ourselves. 

It will take all of Bailey's charm and Shane's commitment to convince Brooke that they belong together. Determined to find a place to call home, they will defend their friends against a rogue Rancher who threatens them all. The town of Bliss is always unique and fun. I especially enjoyed the appearance of my other favorite characters! Kitty Bang and Lee Samuels are amazing in their portrayals of the complex and quirky residents of Bliss, Co.

Paragon Operations #2

🖋Author ~ Sybil Bartel

⭐️Rating: 5/5

Operator. Agent. Tertia Optio. The Phoenix has risen and is reclaiming his life. 

Phoenix: Two months ago, I never could’ve predicted the text that’d come through on my old number or the subsequent fallout that upended my life. This was why I’d come home. Backup. Family. Trust. The one place in the world that could be my safety net. I needed it.

Another phenomenal work from Sybil Bartel. The way she weaves the interacies of her characters is nothing short of intense. Intensely emotional, intensely physical, intensely descriptive. This evolution brings together so many little nudges from other Operators. I highly recommend starting this from the beginning with The Uncompromising Alphas Series first, and then The Alpha Elite Series next, to better understand the connections between these highly skilled Operators.

Phoenix is a delicate balancing act of a man reconciling a past he'd never wanted, a present that he was struggling to make right, and a future that was almost within his grip.

Paragon Operations #1

🖋Author ~ Sybil Bartel

🖋Features: Military Romance, Romantic Suspense

⭐️Rating: 5/5

Petty Officer Second Class William "Bravo" Nilsen is officially deceased. Your new call sign is Phoenix.

The Phoenix has risen and is reclaiming his life. A Vice Admiral dictated the trajectory of his life. A Vice Admiral took away his sister, his family, and his team. Now, Will "Phoenix" Nilsen is determined to right those wrongs, to come out of the dark, and reclaim a new life. 

Another set of operators is stepping out of their three-foot world. And, it begins with Phoenix. A force of nature, there is nothing...not a dead Vice Admiral or a couple of dirty Federal Marshals that will stop him. Taking back what was always his, he thought he'd planned for every contingency. He never planned for a late-night call from a phone that hadn't rung in too many years or for a trespasser to breach through his entire existence. 

I love these dominant alpha heroes that Sybil creates. Reading her books, I feel like I'm following Gretel as she drops hints of breadcrumbs for me to gobble up. Although Phoenix can be read as a stand-alone, I recommend reading Sybil's work from the beginning. Several of my favorite characters make appearances. Plus, I wouldn't want to miss any hidden gems.
