I have to keep reminding myself she’s a means to an end. She can’t be anything more.

Review: Blade

Blade Blade by Sybil Bartel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



View all my reviews



UP at 2am, reading BLADE. I just COULDN’T sleep. BLADE woke ME up. I just HAD to KNOW. I still NEED to know MORE…Paragon Operations

📚Review ~ Blade (The Alpha Elite Series)
🖋Author ~ Sybil Bartel, Author Sybil Bartel
🖋Features: Military Romance, Romantic Suspense
⭐️Rating: 5/5

Battle born. SEAL. Loner.

Baghdad is the wrong question. Phoenix is rising. Stop looking for your brother or start listening.

🗡Blade is a very different AES operative. Resistant and more than willing to go it alone without the interference of his Team, he has to learn a little patience to save the one sassy-mouthed woman who unwittingly crashed into his orbit like a downed satellite.

Could you fall in love with a voice?

📲With no money and having just lost her one best friend, Juni is alone, circling aimlessly around Miami. Defiant and refusing to just sink into nothingness but keeping her head down, her one lifeline is her cell phone and the dominant alpha male who keeps answering her.

🫦 Marvelous Moments:

🗡“Can you tell me where we’re going now?” I gave the woman another opportunity to trust me and tell me who she was. “Does it matter?” She bit her bottom lip. I fed her the opening. “Where don’t you want to go?” She looked me in the eye. Then the woman kept her sh$t locked down as tight as any Tier One I’d ever met. “The past.”

📲When he stood, he scanned the room and slider doors so quickly that I wasn’t sure if it was even a conscious thought for him or just ingrained into his DNA at this point. But when his cool, light blue eyes landed on me and heated with intent, I knew that was purposeful.

Blade didn’t love with words. He loved with protection and his own brand of justice, and he was merciless in both.

Review: Whisper

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



View all my reviews



📚Review~ Whisper (The Mercy Blades Book 3)
🖋Author~ Clarissa Bright, Narrator: Michael Knight
🖋Features: Dark, Suspense, Serial Killer
⭐️Rating: 5/5

Mercy Blades is the most powerful gang in Orlando, Florida. These four dangerous men are its original members. And, they are each committed to keeping Sofia protected from a vicious serial killer.

The suspense continues in Whisper. The Mercy Blades are running out of time. Recovering from a recent hit to their club and the safety of Sofia as well as her brother, the Mercy Blades are faced with another imminent threat. A serial killer based in the Florida Everglades. Tension and emotions are on edge as relationships escalate between Sofia, Teo, and the other men. It certainly gets hot in South Florida!

Whisper is the 3rd book in the series. The Audio edition with Michael Knight is fantastic! He has an incredible voice that pulled me in completely. I recommend reading this series in order. Quiet is the first book; Echo is the second.

Review: Falling for the Forward

Falling for the Forward Falling for the Forward by Brenda Rothert
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



View all my reviews




🏒Carter is usually aloof and sometimes downright gruff. But on those occasions when he says something sweet, he knocks it out of the park every time.

📚Falling for the Forward: Love on the Line #1
🖋Author ~ Brenda Rothert  
🖋Features: A Fake Marriage Hockey Romance
⭐️Rating: 5/5

Suki Brennan is the unfortunate co-owner of Naughty by Nature. Left holding all the inventory from her ex’s failed business, Suki works two jobs to pay off the bank loans. 

Carter Santon isn’t much on sharing his emotions. He’s better putting his energy into his pro-hockey career. Becoming the sole guardian for his 3 nieces wasn’t something he’d ever envisioned. 

But there is no way Carter will let anyone else care for his sister’s children, not even their father. While Carter knows the guy is only interested in the life insurance he thinks the girls have inherited, he still has to prove that he’s the better guardian. Not some guy who’s never shown any interest in the children. 

💍To keep his family together, Carter will have to convince Suki to play house with him. Together, they will have to pull off the perfect marriage. Between pretend wedding rings and a ginormous pet pig, Falling for the Forward is a fantastic read with lots of good times and humor!

🫦Favorite lines:

Carter ~ “I’m not broody.”
Suki ~ “You’re literally brooding right this second.”

Carter ~ I’ve been starting my day with fifteen minutes of toilet time for more than a decade; I’m not changing.
