Texas Sirens: Legacy Book 2

🖋 Genre: Small Town Romance, Romantic Suspense, Series

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Harlow and Niall and Jensen

🚁 Why Choose

🚁 Close Proximity

🚁 Second Chance

🚁 On-the-Run

🚁 Cinnamon Roll MMC

💖 Things begin to unravel when Jensen’s past comes back to haunt him and the man he’s been hunting threatens to turn the tables on him. Protecting Harlow is now the only priority and might just send them all right into the relationship they all need.

💖 In this second gen installment, the intrigue continues with Harlow and her men. Desperate to prove herself, Harlow pushes boundaries and herself, putting herself in danger as she works to bring down a criminal organization. Niall is the man determined to protect her, to provide her with the love, the support she needs. Jensen not only brings the heat, the passion out in Harlow, but he needs to face his past before he can fully commit to Harlow and Niall.

💖 Another fantastic addition to the Texas Sirens world! My favorite reads include connected series and crossovers. And, The Reluctant Siren hits all the high points. Lexi Blake continues to develop excellent characters with depth of emotion, pain, and fears that are completely relatable. I love the suspense she immerses her characters into, which continues to build until the end. In all the suspense and drama, Lexi sprinkles in moments of light and humor, making her characters even more engaging.

💖 Of course, I can’t pass up a good Taggart-ism!

📚The Maestro and the Roofer (A Dash of Desire Book 3)

🖋Author ~ Brianna Bancroft

 🎧Narrator ~ Claire Marlowe

🖋Features: Contemporary Romance, Novella Quick Read, Opposites Attract

⭐️Rating: 5/5

💖I love how opposites attract when this famous pianist collides with a man who knows how to use his hands.

🎼Mia Pelletier—Once the toast of the classical musical world, Mia’s personal life has taken a hard hit. Left reeling, her professional career and reputation are in shambles. 

🧰Travis Flynn—Always overlooked by his family, Travis’s quick wit and playful attitude keep everyone from getting too close or getting in too deep. That is, until Mia.

The sparks fly when these two meet! An unruly flirt, Travis and Mia quickly toss barbs and innuendos at each other. Travis’s teasing attitude and humor draw Mia out of her self-imposed isolation. Setting aside the fame, the pressure, and the expectations, Mia can just be herself with Travis. That’s what makes her time with him so special.

🎧 Claire Marlowe is fantastic giving a very saucy and playful voice to Mia and Travis. Their chemistry burns bright with her narration.

🫦 Marvelous Moments:

“You think your grandmother would’ve liked me?” he asked coyly. Mia threw him a teasing glare and said, “I still don’t even know if I like you.”

📚 Review ~ Popping the Clutch

A CarTubers Manual for Love Book 1

🖋 Author ~ Rochelle Bradley

🖋 Genre: Fake Relationship, Forced Proximity, RomCom

⭐️ Rating: 4/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dyson and Callie

A fake relationship to impress his family is just a reason for Dyson to get closer to Callie. A relentless stalker brings them even closer together.

🔧Popping the Clutch is a sweet read. Full of slow-burning humorous innuendos. While forced proximity and a fake relationship are the excuse to bring Dyson and Callie together, they were always meant to be a couple. There’s a lot more to Dyson than just his car show. That comes through in the way that he thinks about Callie. 

🔧She’s more than just a walking advertisement for her brother’s CarTube channel. “How did she learn everything, and what else did she know? I planned to plunder her mind like I plundered her b%dy.” He is also completely supportive in helping her get her own show up and running. 

🔧Getting to know Dyson’s family was a fun experience. I especially like the way the women not so subtly keep pushing Dyson and Callie together. However, Dyson’s cousin needs to be disowned.

💌 Favorite Moments:

🖇 Dyson: She had asked if we were still pretending. How would she react if I told her I never had?

📚 Review ~ Her Final Breath

📚 Tracy Crosswhite Book 2

🖋 Author ~ Robert Dugoni

🎧 Narrator ~ Emily Sutton-Smith

🖋 Genre: Small Town Romance, Mystery, Police Procedural

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tracy Crosswhite Series

Homicide detective Tracy Crosswhite returns to Seattle after the sensational circumstances of her sister’s murder. Still scarred from that ordeal, Tracy is pulled into an investigation that threatens to end her career, if not her life. Pitted against not only an unknown stalker but also a serial killer known as the Cowboy, Tracy’s career is threatened by media sensationalism and an old case with links to the current murders.

Emily Sutton-Smith as the voice of Tracy Crosswhite continues to draw me in and keep me listening. I appreciate the logical and methodical way Tracy approaches her cases. There is just enough emotion in her depiction that I feel as if I’m part of the investigation with Tracy, Dan, and her partner, Kinsington Rowe. I love Tracy’s unique approach to her cases, as well as her quick wit, which borders just inside the lines of sarcasm, especially when verbally sparring with Johnny Nolasco.

📚 Review ~ Changed by You 

Minnesota Mammoths Book 3

🖋 Author ~ Brenda Rothert 

🖋 Genre: Sports Romance, Contemporary Romance

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dalton and Alice

“I’m always the one doing the caretaking, never the one receiving the care. It felt good to just let go of everything in his arms, even if it was only for a minute.” ~ That is absolutely Alice. She is the caretaker, giving up so much of her time and life to make sure her brother and her parents, especially her ailing father, are well cared for. She works basically non-stop, fulfilling her boss’s every whim, including lavender-infused glass-bottled boutique water and carefully prepared sushi.

After choking in the final of the series, Minnesota Mammoth’s team captain, Dalton isn’t necessarily looking for romance. But he agrees to appear in a reality TV show to increase publicity for the NHL. He wasn’t looking for anything special until he saw Alice.

While Alice is overly busy taking care of her superstar boss, Dalton realizes that it is Alice’s turn to have someone care for her. And Dalton is determined to be that man. I love these two together. While Alice is used to putting herself last in almost every aspect of her life, it’s Dalton who recognizes this and encourages Alice to step up for herself. This is an incredible read, and I truly enjoyed seeing Alice allow herself the time and the energy to be herself. As someone who usually puts others first, I love how Dalton sees who Alice is. That he is the man who will love and support her, however she needs.

🖋 Genre: Small Town Romance, Mystery, Police Procedural

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tracy Crosswhite Series

Tracy has spent 20 years questioning the facts surrounding her sister Sarah’s disappearance and the murder trial that followed. Years later, Tracy is still reaping the repercussions of her sister’s death. A legal mistake has given accused killer Erik Schmidt a chance at revenge, deliberately maneuvering Tracy into a final duel.

Another fantastic narration by Emily Sutton-Smith. Her portrayal of Tracy Crosswhite is heartfelt and yet at the same time, gives Tracy the right amount of logical process in the way her detective mind works. The introduction of Lydia helps to heal the wounds left behind by the truth of Sarah’s murder. I love the detail put into Lydia’s character, how she helps Tracy reconcile a part of her past, and moves her forward with her husband Dan and their daughter.

📚 Review ~ SINS: The Contract

📚 Book 1 Dante & Riley

🖋 Author ~ LexxiJames

🖋 Genre: Dark, Mafia, Billionaire Romance

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dante & Riley

My newest obsession is marked off with bright yellow Do Not Enter tape. But as long as I just look with my eyes, no harm, right?

⛓Two tortured souls irrevocably intertwined. 

💰Dante D’Angelo, descending deeper into the mysterious disappearance of his father and the brutal attack on his sister, can’t help but be drawn to the unbreakable defiance of Riley Mullvain. She will do anything she can to prove that Dante and his family had everything to do with her own father’s death, despite her sister marrying into their infamous mafia family.

🫦Riley is the one thing he shouldn’t want for himself. 

⛓This book keeps the intensity and the adrenaline pitched at an all-time high. It was an incredible continuation of the D’Angelo family’s twisted history and dark future that cannot seem to extricate itself from the Mullvain girls. Where Enzo was a slow burn drawing Kennedy Mullvain to their inner sanctum; Riley and Dante are an inferno, burning up everything they touch, including themselves.

🖋 Enjoyment: 5. Narrator: 5. Writing: 5.

💌 Favorite Moments:

🖇 The thing about silence is it doesn’t echo. It seeps. And the longer it stretches, the heavier it gets.

🖇 He’s everywhere all at once. Pressing into the edges of me, filling the space between fear and want until I can’t tell them apart.

🖇 I want every brutal, dark piece of him forced into every shattered edge of me.

🖇 “You’re not the hunter, Pom. You’re the meal. Mine.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tracy Crosswhite Series

Tracy has spent 20 years questioning the facts surrounding her sister Sarah’s disappearance and the murder trial that followed. I was immediately captivated by the story of Tracy and her family, hanging on every clue and turn as Tracy is drawn back to her hometown. Emily's voice and narration is intimate, poignant in the way she leads us through Sarah's final moments. 

A missing sister and the need to follow the evidence to its conclusion, Tracy leaves her job as a chemistry teacher and becomes a police officer. Moving up into the ranks of detective, she has never given up on finding out what happened to her sister Sarah. Now with the recent discovery of Sarah’s remains, Tracy may finally have the final pieces to figure out who is responsible for the kidnapping and murder of her sister and the pervasive lies that tore her family and hometown apart.

Tracy and her childhood friend, Dan, who is now a lawyer, will inadvertently step into the path of a killer as they uncover the 20-year-old truth of what happened to Sarah.

📚 Review ~ Faking the Shot

📚 Golden Meadow Polo Series #1

🖋 Author ~ Jolie Dunn Author

🖋 Genre: Small Town Romance, Sports Romance, Polo Romance, Friends to Lovers Romance

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Maggie and Jack

He always knew his life would change. He just never thought she would be the reason.

This is the first time I’ve tried Jolie Dunn. And, Faking the Shot was a wonderful read! I have never read a book that includes Polo. But I’m glad I picked this as my first one. Jolie did a seamless job of weaving the intricacies of the sport with the storyline. Beyond that, her characters felt real.

Maggie and Jack are friends from childhood, so it is no surprise that benefits would eventually follow. And, Maggie’s surprise pregnancy isn’t a surprise either because friends with benefits usually aren’t foolproof. What is a beautiful surprise is the journey that both Maggie and Jack take to find their happiness together. 

The fear, the uncertainty in their futures, the brave way these two come together, devoting themselves to a fresh start and a commitment to be the best parents despite their childhood examples, is at first commendable. Their initial obligation to their baby, of course, is not necessarily to each other, yet though Jack is careful with Maggie, making sure that she and the baby have what they need. 

Once Jack and Maggie got their footing, I enjoyed seeing them grow into each other as well as discovering the best parts of themselves. At times, it was wrenching as they separately experienced the fear and panic of not only becoming parents, but coming to the realization that they are not their parents, and that they truly do love and trust one another.

🖋 Genre: Enemies to Lovers, College Romance, Sports Romance, Hockey Romance

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bridger and Holland

🏒 This is the first time I’ve tried Jennifer Sucevic. And, Never Your Girl was fantastic! I loved the sarcastic banter between Holland and Bridger. While it was a lot of fun, the emotions these two went through to get to their HEA were wrenching. Even though this is part of the Western Wildcats Hockey series, it can stand alone…however, I can’t wait to go back to the beginning so I can get to know the friends that Bridger and Holland call family.

📱 Struggling to make ends meet, take care of her irresponsible mother, and get through school, Holland has her work as a dancer and her focus on graduating to have a better life. Bridger has other goals. He needs to graduate and get away from his abusive father. Hockey and his business degree are his way to move on. But with relentless text messaging, Bridger’s stress level ratchets up more and more with each notification. 

🎧 I enjoyed Angelina and Grayson’s narration. They were both incredible, giving the character unique voices. I felt like I was right in the middle, cheering for Bridger on the ice and celebrating Holland’s success.

I’m thrilled that the adventure continues! It’s super exciting to see the Guardian kids growing up and taking their place within Guardian Security. A true Legacy. And Ronan does not disappoint. Kris Michaels has such a phenomenal way of writing, keeping the characters real, unique, and relevant. Narrator Matt Haynes delivers another fantastic performance.

To save Internally Displaced People (IDPs) in her refugee camp, including women and children, Fleur is so desperate to get just one more convoy to safety that she’ll risk her own life. When it seems that there is nowhere else to turn, and the human traffickers are just a fence line away, Ronan and the Panther Team will do whatever it takes…as long as it takes to keep Fleur’s camp safe.

📚Review~ The Librarian and the Mechanic

(A Dash of Desire Book 2)

🖋Author~ Brianna Bancroft 

🖋Genre: Contemporary Romance, Quick Read

🎧Narrated by: Claire Marlowe

⭐️Rating: 5/5

Mallory and Joel are perfect together. Although Mallory has pulled away from an emotionally damaging relationship, she is still uncertain about her own self-worth. She doesn’t recognize how brave she is by starting over in a new town with a new job. It’s Joel who eventually draws Mallory into another new chapter of her life. With patience and understanding, plus a great sense of humor, they get their HEA.

Claire does an excellent job portraying these characters. I can literally feel Mallory's nervousness as she tries to shake off the self-consciousness that plagues her thoughts and decisions. Her tone and pacing even change as Mallory grows more confident in her life, in her new job, and with Joel.

The Librarian and the Mechanic is the second in the Dash of Desire set. It is a standalone. I hope you enjoy!

💌My love for you is fierce, and I am ready to face whatever comes our way together.

📍 Read Trigger Warnings

👟FMC (Body Image/Eating Disorder)

🚒MMC (Severe Burns and Injury)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Adam & Daisy

This is the first time I’ve read Shannon Morse. While Stop Drop and Run is the 3rd in the Pacific Northwest Love Series, there was enough detail and backstory to make it a seamless stand-alone. I enjoyed Adam & Daisy’s story. The depth and emotional turmoil these two experience throughout the book are as honest as they are heartfelt. Shannon’s insight into sports, running, and athletes is knowledgeable, giving her characters important realism. 

👟Daisy’s struggles as an athlete are real and relatable. Her battle with body image, insecurities, and an abusive, passive-aggressive trainer are heartbreaking. It’s not until she meets Adam and his friends that Daisy begins to recognize the damage being done to her body, her mind, her spirit. Exposure to Adam’s group gives Daisy an opportunity to observe healthy relationships, expanding her limited experiences from just school and training.

🚒Once an incredible flirt, Adam does something so unlike him: he falls in love with Daisy. He is completely committed to her, supporting her running career. Unfortunately, a severe accident while fighting wildfires injures Adam. Struggling with the burns, the repeated surgeries, and the rehab therapy, Adam is barely holding on. 

Daisy will need to find the strength to take back her independence, and Adam will have to move beyond his fears so that he can be the man to love Daisy forever.

Love Fast is an incredible story about discovering the strength to take a chance and risk it all for freedom and love. The relationship that develops between Bryon and Rosey is bright and sparkly. And, I love the way Byron gives Rosey space to make her own decisions which is something she’d never had before. But, I admire Rosey’s determination to get away from her controlling mother in order to find her voice, to learn who she is, and what her future holds.

Louise Bay has me booked! I’ll definitely read more of her work. She has an easy style, creating characters that pulled me in and made me want the best for them. 

Samantha and Jason are also amazing, creating authentic voices and an emotional connection to their characters. I could feel Byron’s inner conflict as he struggles to reconcile the past with his father, and Rosey’s hopefulness as she begins her journey in a new town.

Review: Never Bound

Never Bound by Everly Claire
My rating: 4 of 5 stars



View all my reviews

⛓️ Never assume the queen is safe just because she’s standing still.

📚 Review ~ Never Bound: A Dark Dystopian Forbidden Romance

(The Unchained Book 2) 

🖋 Author ~ Everly Claire

 Rating: 4/5

📍 Read ~ Content Note

Features ~

🔹Scarred, Imprisoned MMC

🔹 Naive FMC 

🔹Slow Burn Attraction

🔹Secrets & Deception

🔹Cliff-hanger

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another first read for me. Everly Claire creates an environment that is remarkably similar to our current society, but with a clear distinction between the wealthy and the unfortunate citizens who have been forced into servitude. Louisa and the Boy represent these two separate parts of their society. The evolution of the two main characters intensifies as they come closer to understanding each other, the accepted injustices they face, and the heinous acts that lie beneath the richest parts of society.

⛓️ The relationship between Lou and the Boy continues in a forced proximity situation as he functions as her tutor. For him, it’s an opportunity to take advantage of Lou and her family. The Boy considers himself a master manipulator, using his intelligence to help him locate his missing sister. Everything he’s done is in the hopes of finding her. 

⛓️ It is ultimately Lou’s growing relationship with him that elevates her understanding of the world beyond her fluffy pink pillows and effortless existence. Lou begins to see the injustice that those forced to serve the wealthy endure. 

💌 Favorite Moments:

🖇 HER: “But my whole life, I’ve seen so much that was wrong,” I whispered. “And I never questioned it. I never said a thing.” 

🖇  HIM: “How could you have said a thing?” he said, squeezing my fingers gently, stilling them where they landed.

💖 It’s you and me forever, Seeley Whiskey. I’ll never let you go…

📚 Review ~ Love, Lies, and Whiskey: Doc Whiskey 

(The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Redemption Ranch Book 5)

🖋 Author ~ Melissa Foster

🖋 Features: Alpha Protector Male Romance, Small Town/Ranch Romance, 2nd Chance, Single Mom

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

📍 Read ~ Note to reader

💖 Seeley ‘Doc’ & Juliette

For nearly 15 years, Seeley and Juliette were separated by lies and the deceit her father forced on them. While they existed, neither was completely happy. Always knowing that something was missing. Theirs is an epic love that, despite her father’s vicious actions, can’t be forgotten. Years later, and finally free of her controlling parents, Juliette and Seeley will have a second chance to discover if their love can flourish and overcome the challenges that are ahead of them now.

🔹2nd Chance Relationship

🔹Secrets & Deception

🔹Large Family & Ranch Life

🔹HEA

🔹Standalone (part of series)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is the first time I’ve read Melissa Foster. And, if I could give this book more than 5 stars, believe me I would! I stayed up late reading this book as I was completely invested in Juliette and Seeley, hoping they could make it back to each other. 

The way Melissa introduces Lucas as a teenager made me smile because she is spot-on regarding their fluctuating attitudes. In addition to learning his father isn’t who he thought he was, his grandfather’s betrayal, and a particularly devastating health issue, Lucas' emotions hit some very low points that absolutely break my heart. But with the love and support of his new family and friends, they come together and come back to each other even stronger than before. 

Melissa has such a way of creating a beautiful backdrop for Redemption Ranch that I felt I was already a part of the Whiskey family. It reminded me so much of my hometown that I’m ready to pack my bags. I’ve already started reading the first in the series (The Trouble with Whiskey) and can’t wait to read all about Birdie’s story in My Whiskey Redemption #6.

💌 Favorite Moments:

🖇 Parenting is the hardest and the best thing you’ll ever experience. Some days you’re sure you’re doing everything right, and others, you feel like you’re sledding down a hill on a bed of razor blades.”

🖇 You and your mom are the best things that have ever happened to me. My love for you is unconditional and unwavering. Don’t ever doubt that.

🎧 Review~ SINS: The Deal

🫦 He takes another drag from his cigar, then leisurely blows the smoke down my neck and shoulders, a ghost of a caress over my skin.

🎧Review~ SINS: The Deal

🖋Author~ @lexxijamesbooks 

🖋Genre: Dark, Mafia, Billionaire Romance

⭐️Rating 5/5

🎧 Narrators: Patrick Zeller and Rose Dioro. The narrators are incredible. I feel like I’m right there with Enzo and Kennedy. I can literally feel Kennedy’s distress as she tries to keep herself and her sister from getting too involved with the D’Angelos. And Enzo sends shivers in all the right places.

ENZO

She should've known better than to cross my path.

I had no choice but to notice her.

See, I like collecting beautiful things, and unlucky for her,

Kennedy is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

She was meant to be owned.

And I was born to undo her.

The Deal is a steamy dark romantic suspense in the SINS of the Syndicate series. This is the first book in a trilogy.

🎧 Review ~ SINS & Lies: Book 2 of SINS: The Deal

🖋Author ~ Lexxi James
🖋Features: Dark, Mafia, Billionaire Romance
⭐️ Rating: 5/5

🎧 Narrator: Patrick Zeller & Rose Dioro

The narrators continue to be incredible. I feel like I’m right there with Enzo and Kennedy. It's fantastic the way Patrick gives Enzo such a distinct and commanding voice. His humor and frustrations are pure Enzo in equal measure. Some of the best scenes involve Enzo and Truffles, Kennedy's little heroic mutt. For me, this is where Enzo's more gentle personality comes inking through, just enough that I can't help but love this formidable mafia prince.

🐾 “I have a dog. It has clothes. Despite keeping my distance from everyone, I have a touchy-feely soft side. One that you fxxkxrs wouldn’t know anything about.”

🐾 “Look, Toto, I don’t care how attached Kennedy is to you. Get off my lap before I have you made into smoking slippers.”

The intrigue and heat continue in the continuation of Kennedy and Enzo’s story. They are like watching fireworks in the sky, burning bright. Kennedy’s unbreakable spirit is completely engaging. Kennedy is not like the other women who typically throw themselves at Enzo. She is so strong and independent that I’m sure Enzo isn’t quite sure what to make of her. While he continues to struggle with his duty to the D’Angelo family as well as his insatiable attraction to Kennedy, a viscous power struggle continues between Enzo and his uncle who is suspected of causing his father’s disappearance. Then, there’s the issue of who brutally attacked his sister.

💋 Kennedy and Enzo are walking a very slippery slope of danger and attraction. Enjoy their explosive relationship.

🏒 When Auburn Hart’s son becomes the youngest rookie in the NHL, they relocate to Chicago. In a new city, Auburn finally has the chance to get away from her overbearing, critical mother. This is the first time in her life that she has the freedom to make her own decisions. But falling in love with her son’s Captain isn’t exactly what she imagined happening.

Fast-burn

But in the warmth of Ledger’s love, I found a partner to walk beside me, sharing the weight of our pasts and the promise of our future.

This is the first time I’ve read Vee Taylor. Her content note was heartfelt and gave me a sense of understanding of what to expect from her characters. I appreciated the insight into Auburn, as her insecurities are the main focal point of her journey. Recovery and/or healing isn’t a straight line, and oftentimes can be chaotic, even confusing. I felt that in reading this. It can also be a very private matter, so Austin’s naiveté is plausible because he didn’t have any idea what had happened to his mom when she was in high school. Ledger’s solid presence was exactly what both Auburn and Austin needed.

Review: Revenge Puck

🏒 I’m just here for the sexy players on both teams! 🥅

📚Review ~ Revenge Puck (Shot at Love Book 1)

🖋Author ~ L.A. Hart (Lane Hart)

🖋Features: Fake Dating, Grumpy Sunshine Hockey Romance

⭐️Rating: 5/5

L.A. Hart is also best best-selling author Lane Hart. I’m most familiar with Lane’s steamy/dark romances from The Savage Kings MC and NYC Dark Mafia series. My first read of her L.A. work was Beg for Mercy out of the Mercy Academy series. And, WOW! What an incredible storyline. 

🏒 For Revenge Puck, it’s a delightful rom-com. Its rocky foundation for Preston and Elle is based on a total lie. They each, for very different reasons, want revenge on their nemesis - Christian Riley.

THE RESULTS ARE IN: Preston’s st🏒ck is bigger than Christian’s!

🏒 What starts as just a little fun, quickly spirals into something deeper than anyone expected. Between Preston’s fear of being abandoned first and Elle’s determination never to be hurt again, there seems to a lot going on to keep them apart. Not to mention the fact that they live in different cities. Or that Preston might be traded at the end of the playoff season. Throw in a misguided, jealous ex-best friend, and tensions are higher than ever.

Review: Shattered Fate

♟ What is it about a moody guy with tats ♟ 

📚Review ~ Shattered Fate (King's Crossing, #4)

🖋Author ~ VM Rheault

🖋Features: Billionaires & Millionaires Romance, serial, cliffhanger, mystery

⭐️Rating: 5/5

I started reading VM Rheault’s King’s Crossing series with the first book in the series, Cruel Fate. Gage and his sister Zarah almost inadvertently uncover heinous crimes involving the murder of their parents. The intricacy of the series maintains its grip, keeping me reading and turning the pages! Aside from that, I feel for these characters. The sacrifices both Stella and Zarah make, the suffering they have endured, bind them together with a bond stronger than…Family. Loyalty. Trust.

Gage ~ Ashton Black shot and killed my half-brother Max, and in his will, he left me everything he owned, plus one serious request—protect Zarah Maddox.

Where Stella is sunshine, Zarah is night. Stella’s blonde hair, her bright blue eyes, they are perfect opposites to Zarah’s pitch black hair and dark eyes. It’s no wonder Ashton Black wanted both of them: perfect bookends.

Like a deep dark secret, there’s something insidious slithering just under the surface of King’s Crossing. Even prison bars can’t contain the malevolence threatening Zarah and her family. Max knew there was more than just what they’d managed to uncover…what else are Clayton and Ashton trying to cover up… How far will they go to protect their secrets?

🔬 Dr. Sophia Perry

🥾 Special Forces Communications Sergeant Connor Button

★Protective hero, Bodyguard MMC

★Genius, Virologist & Hematologist Specialist FMC

★Limited Time Factor  

★Threat Assessment

★Fast-action, Intense

Technically not an interconnected book, I would recommend reading the first in the series (Deadly Strain) to understand the ongoing threat level. I enjoyed Sophia’s straightforward and determined approach to stop this new biological threat. Despite her failing health, Sophia’s greatest hope is to make a difference. Connor is her perfect match. Probably because he is the youngest with four older sisters! A man who is willing to listen, support his partner, and challenge his partner at the same time is a keeper!

Lethal Game is the 2nd in this three-part series. Sophia and Connor’s mission is more treacherous than they would’ve anticipated. While investigating an unknown infectious disease outbreak, they realize Sophia has been marked as a high-value asset. The enemy is aware of Sophia’s unique medical qualifications, making her the perfect scientist to create the next epic pandemic.

From the very beginning, Connor will need to put his personal demons aside in order to commit to his assignment to keep Sophia safe, guarding her while she works to identify an unknown but deadly pathogen. Falling in love had never been part of the mission…
