πŸ“šReview~ Wish (Men of Inked Sinners Book 3)
πŸ–‹Author~ Chelle Bliss
πŸ–‹Genre: Men of Inked Sinners, Alpha Male Romance, Contemporary Romance
⭐️Rating 5/5

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Zoey and Hunter 

πŸ’ SINGLE GIRL DAD
πŸ• FOUND FAMILY
πŸ’ FORCED PROXIMITY
πŸ• FRIENDS TO LOVERS
πŸ’ SLOW BURN
🍺 TATTOO ARTIST X BAR OWNER

πŸ’ The wish that finally came true

And if anyone has earned her wish upon a star, it's definitely Zoey Gallo!

Zoey's been through so much trauma. Getting her power and her life back, Zoey is finally moving in the right direction. With her family surrounding her, she's in a safe place. Running the Hook & Hustle with her cousin, she's happiest there or enjoying a quiet night at home, looking forward to the upcoming holiday festivities and all the sparkling decorations. She's not interested in complications or bad decisions.

The only decision Hunter is interested in making has him relocating to Chicago to be closer to his daughter. The move lands him right in the middle of Gallo territory. Taking a chair at Inked, Hunter is their newest tat artist and Zoey's new neighbor.  

If you're looking for a loud, loving, crazy, always-has-your-back family, the Gallos are one in a million! They are the best found family. I absolutely love the close knit family ties Chelle creates with the Gallos, their extended family, and friends. I'll be next in line to get adopted into this bantering, fun-loving, and sometimes snarky family.

Review: Face Off: The Raptors Series Book Four

πŸ“š Face Off: The Raptors Series #4
πŸ–‹ Author ~ Caroline Easton 
πŸ–‹ Features: Sports Romance, Hockey Romance, Contemporary Romance
⭐️ Rating: 5/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Chloe & Ollie
πŸ“– Enemies to lovers
πŸ’ Protective hero
πŸ“–  Slow burn
πŸ’ Hockey romance
πŸ“–  OW drama
πŸ’ Secret relationship
πŸ“–  Reputation vs Reality
πŸ’ Forbidden

πŸ“– “Maybe people can be more than their worst mistake.” πŸ’

Life is messy... 

That's the best way I can describe Chloe and Ollie's story. Their slowburn love is a journey of discovery, forgiveness, and strength. I loved the way that even though Chloe isn't welcomed by the team as their new sports writer, Ollie is at least somewhat reluctant to give her a second chance. After all, Chloe's not the only one who will need a second chance at redemption by the end of the season.

The stunt that Chloe orchestrated was supposed to put her in the spotlight, increase her popularity, show her dad that she wasn't some visible no-talent writer. It backfired and caused a baashlash of drama Chloe faces head-on when she takes that first step into the team's locker room to write her first story. She knew it would be hard, even uncomfortable. She expected the hard looks, the harsh whispers. She didn't expect Ollie to step up and have her back.

I enjoyed Face Off and these two characters. Life is messy. I loved the way Ollie's quiet confidence supported Chloe as she struggled to get out from behind one of the biggest mistakes of her professional life. When Ollie needs it most, Chloe proves herself stronger than she thought as she keeps showing up every day, helping through rehabbing a serious injury. The Raptors Series is about an incredible group of people and teammates that come together, fracture, and heal to come out on the otherside even better than before. 

πŸ’  Hockey is all I’ve got. Without it, I’m just Ollie. And I don’t know who that is.
πŸ“–  Ollie Taylor sees me, not just the headlines, not just the mistakes, but the person underneath.

Review: Scorched Sin

πŸ“š Review: Scorched Sin
πŸ”₯ 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. 

πŸ–€ Family Rivals
πŸ”₯ Betrayals
πŸ–€ Possessive MMC
πŸ”₯ Defiant FMC
πŸ–€ Obsessions
πŸ”₯ 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.

Review: Ranger’s Inferno

Ranger’s Inferno Ranger’s Inferno by Bridget Adrienne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars



View all my reviews



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.

πŸ“š Review ~ Phantom's Healing
Hurricane Heat MC Book 2
πŸ–‹ Author ~ Chelle Bliss
πŸ–‹ 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!
