My entire world shattered in an instant.
One phone call was all it took.
Whatever triumph we felt in taking down the Governor was short-lived.
Because the Rojas Cartel was already rising from the ashes.

If we thought we’d won by wiping out Rico Rojas, we were dead wrong. His nephew isn’t just carrying the mantle—he’s rewriting the legacy of the Rojas name by gutting everything we’ve built from the inside out.

Now we’re being torn apart at the seams. Clover and Phoenix are forced to flee to Vegas, Valerie’s fighting for survival in prison, and Alpha is drowning in a tsunami of emotions that threatens to pull him under. We’re surrounded, outnumbered, and running out of options.

My only hope lies in a rogue bird who should have been set free when I liberated the Nest. But she’s working for Rojas. For the enemy. Nighthawk might have blood on her blade, but she could be the key to bringing down the Cartel once and for all. Trusting her means risking everything on the belief that birds of a feather truly do flock together.

With families ripped apart and war erupting on all sides, I have to tap into the darkest parts of my training. Because when everything you love is at stake, it’s not just about survival—it’s about believing that in the end, Defiance will come out victorious.

This is a high-stakes, enemies-to-allies, forbidden love romance, featuring birds trained to kill, underground cartel operations, and Defiance fighting for their lives. This is Part I of a two-part conclusion to the series.

Emotionally raw and highly addictive! With the first part of the finale duet in her LA Defiance MC series, K.E. Osborn is taking her readers on the ride of their life as evil descends and burns the life the guys thought they knew down. I was hooked instantly and I stayed enthralled throughout the majority of the book. The “field trip” with Clover was a bit distracting and while I enjoyed connections being made, it took a bit away from the intensity of the book as a whole. I cannot wait for the second part of the story to arrive in a few months. I have a feeling it’s going to be epic!

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys an MC romance with passion, heart and lots of drama. Osborn develops her worlds very well and makes connecting with the characters really easy for her readers.

Someone To Love by Michelle Major
Series: The Skylark Series #1
Published by Romilda House on March 27, 2025
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

One month. One fake boyfriend. One shot at forever.

I’ve got four weeks to cross one thing off my bucket list—and it isn’t exactly PG.

I’m not the type to take risks, but when a friend battling cancer dares you to go big, you don’t say no. My mission? Lose my V-card before my baby sister’s wedding. Did I mention she’s marrying my high school crush? Yeah. There’s no way I’m walking into that ceremony as the awkward, untouched older sister.

Enter single dad Ian Barlowe—my sinfully hot, NFL legend neighbor, who owes me big time after his daughter breaks into my house. He offers to make amends by playing my fake boyfriend. How can I say no?

It should be easy enough—except nothing about Ian feels fake. The chemistry? Explosive. His unexpected sweetness? Heart-melting. And the way he seems to like me just as I am? Ruh, roh.

Here’s the thing—I don’t do vulnerability, and neither does he. But as the line between pretend and real starts to blur—especially in the bedroom—I wonder if happily-ever-after is a game we can win. I set out to score one for the bucket list, but now I’m playing for keeps. And if we’re not careful, I might lose my heart in the final play.

Filled to the brim with emotion, friendship and a sexy man next door, Michelle Major’s kick off of a brand new Skylark, Colorado series is heartfelt and endearing! I loved the concept of friends from a book club right from the start, and add in a former NFL quarterback, a moody pre-teen and dogs galore and I was so there. I loved that the sisterhood of friendship was brought into the core of the story before we ever even get a glimpse of the hunky man and all the drama he might bring. It set the stage of the smalltown backdrop very nicely and let us get to know Sadie and her kindheartedness from the start.

Sadie was obviously my favorite character for so many reasons. Her allegiance to family, friends and animals for one. Her innocent soul who didn’t think twice to offer a helping to hand to pretty much anybody. Her ability to see to the heart of the matter. She’s the friend we all need!

Ian and his precocious child were also easy to like once we got beneath the surface. I loved his relationship with his brother and his ability to go with the flow.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a smalltown romance with a cast of friends and family behind the scenes pulling for true love to win out.

Formula Chance by Sawyer Bennett
Series: Race Fever #2
Published by Big Dog Books on March 11, 2025
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

Nash Sinclair abandoned the world of formula racing after a deadly crash left him injured and on a long road to recovery, both physically and mentally. Even prior to the crash Nash was healing in another way, putting together the pieces of a broken heart. They say time heals all wounds and when Brienne Norcross, owner of the newly acquired Titans Racing team approaches him about a job, he decides it might just be time to reclaim the life he once loved.

Bexley Toliver just joined the Titans’ team as their chief race strategy engineer. As a woman working in a male-centric sport, Bex is no stranger to a man’s eyes on her. Whether it’s in silent awe, not-so-silent disgust, or somewhere in between, Bexley has earned her way. But there is one set of eyes that Bex hasn’t seen in years and when Nash Sinclair walks into the conference room for a team meeting, old memories are hard to ignore. As the heat between them becomes all-consuming, they are unable to resist the temptation to fall once again.

Bex and Nash’s history is…complicated. Young love that turned into the promise of forever crashed and burned long before the race that ended Nash’s career. Years apart dulled the pain of their failed union but some things aren’t meant to be forgotten, no matter how hard one tries. When the same issues that broke them apart re-emerge and spin them full-speed toward a barricade, Bex and Nash need to make a decision—hit the brakes and walk away or race forward to their happily ever after.

An exhilarating and emotional reunion! With the second book in her new car racing series, Sawyer Bennett stretches her wings and settles in with a strong heroine who is making her mark on the industry and forging a new path. A surprise reunion with a past love rocks the boat, but can’t keep Bexley down for long. Nash has overcome a lot in the years they’ve been apart and is set to retake his life with a roar if all goes well. The characters both have interesting back stories and loving family support systems and the history between them makes for a fun set up when they first set eyes on each other again. I felt like there could have been a bit more resolution between what happened in the past and a tad more development in their new relationship going forward, but overall I really loved their story and felt fulfilled throughout. I can’t wait for the next book in the series!

I equally loved Bex and Nash as they each worked to overcome obstacles in their path professionally and fell quickly back into the foundation of their love for each other once it was possible for them to put past heartache aside and actually forgive. They were both passionate and sweet and I enjoyed them a lot.

I highly recommend this book as well as the previous book in the series to anyone who enjoys sports romance and wants a change from the norm of hockey, football, baseball, etc.

In the second book of New York Times Bestselling Author Sawyer Bennett’s Race Fever series, she turns up the heat when a familiar name looks to shake up the world of formula racing. Buckle up for this heart stopping, second chance ride in Formula Chance.

Life isn’t fair.

If anyone on Earth should know that, it’s Milena Semyonov.

She’s suffered blow after blow, and the hits just keep on coming.

Just when she’s sworn off being happy, that maybe being numb is the better way to navigate life, she meets him.
Cutter Carson Clayborne.

The man that finally shows her how a real man is supposed to treat her.

Just when she didn’t think life could get any worse, the man that abused her as a young, impressionable teen is back, showing her that life can, in fact, get worse.

When she’s ready to quit, Cutter is there, making sure that she knows that he’ll be there, whether she wants him there or not.

He is her husband, after all. And the unlikely pair have an understanding that they’ll stay married for two years, make a baby, and join two crime syndicates in unholy matrimony.

Cutter has other plans, though. He only agrees to the original plan to make her his.

He won’t ever give her up. What’s his stays his. And there’s not a man on the earth that’ll ever touch Milena again. Not with Cutter alive and able to take out anyone that tries.

High octane goodness! Vale is shining bright with the character development in her Semyonov Bratva series! There’s not a huge amount of family business happening on the pages, but there’s a heartwarming connection between the siblings that is really endearing to see and lots of drama along the way as one after another falls for their forever love. It’s Milena’s turn this time and a terrifying introduction turns into true love when Cutter saves the day. His family back story is really good as well and I hope we might see a spin-off series down the road for his siblings because they have some huge stories to tell! Maybe another MC series in our future? I’m crossing my fingers!

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that enjoys a heartwarmingly sexy series of siblings that will do anything for one another with the hint of danger always in the background due to their upbringing. Close knit and heartwarming as well as suspenseful and heartfelt. Great series!

Goodreads

Broody. Hot. Intoxicating.

Nastya Semyonov first met Haze at a bar, but for Haze Hopkins, duty calls before either can act
on their desires. He’s gone without a glance back, leaving her thinking that maybe all the hot
looks were only one-sided.

Fast forward to the next day, Nastya hitches a ride to her car that she left behind the night before,
only to run into the same man from last night.

Neither one truly thinks before they act, and they spend a hot fifteen minutes in a fast-food
restaurant bathroom before parting ways again.

It’s as she’s walking back to her car that she realizes how badly she’s screwed up.

Because her car is surrounded in police tape, and there’s one very angry man wearing a badge
standing in front of it with her name on an arrest warrant for killing a man.

Mistakes were made. Repeatedly.

But Detective Haze Hopkins isn’t complaining.

He was ready to quit, anyway.

Crime pays better.

Vale continually wraps a couple around my heart! The second book in the Semyonov Bratva series is action packed with intense heat, warm interactions and suspense to keep you turning page after page. I was quickly hooked on Nastya and Haze and loved every minute of their story! The tension is high, the connection between this couple as well as other family is really heartwarming even as danger is lurking around the corner. I can’t wait for more to come in the series!

My favorite character was Haze. He’s goodhearted and out to do good in the world, but life just keeps knocking him down and making him see that everything isn’t black or white and he occasionally has to tolerate a little gray in his life. He’s a fun one to get to know.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that loves a close knit family with a criminal backdrop but hearts of gold.

Goodreads

Eagle lived for one thing…the club. But when the Disciples MC became defunct, he felt lost. Needing to hustle and make more money, he took a side-gig at a swanky event center to work security. The money was decent, but the boss…she was everything Eagle always wanted in a woman. He stayed for her and no matter how hard he tried to resist her; she had a pull over him like no other ever had. And when another man goes a little too far, he’ll do anything to keep her safe.

Lacey’s had one too many broken hearts. She decided she needed a break and wanted to focus on her work. She had her dream job, and everything started to go her way. Until her last boyfriend, who lied about being married, tries to get her fired. As her personal and business life collide, everything spirals out of control. Lacey’s doesn’t have much hope in men when a biker she’d hired steps in, having her back like no one else.

And what should’ve stayed a professional relationship takes them on a path they never expected, but neither one could stop. Can two broken hearts find love again?

Broken Hearts is the last book in the Open Road Series. It's a romantic suspense, opposites attract, later in life romance.

Temptingly delicious! The final book in Chelle Bliss’s Open Road series is filled with angst and drama as a sexy, forbidden connection draws our attention quickly and keeps us turning page after page to see if Eagle is going to get his happily ever after. The main characters are both super easy to like and the plot is intriguing while leaving ample attraction in the forefront to tempt us. I would have loved to see a bit more development of his relationships with the MC guys and showcasing who he is at heart, but overall I enjoyed both characters a lot. The ending was satisfying and a fitting wrap up for the series.

I recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a steamy love connection between two characters who put their heart and soul into living the life they’ve been handed and sweetening the pot as time goes by.

Dixie + Mary

Dixie met Mary in a bar in the middle of nowhere. He knew the moment she served him “whatever the hell she wanted to” that she was the one.

That day, he takes her from her abusive life and gives her everything she’s ever wanted.

For thirty-one years, they’re married. For thirty-one years, he worships the ground she walks on. For thirty-one years, she makes him the happiest man on the planet.

They have babies. They lose babies. They laugh and they love. They’ve fought and they’ve struggled.

But nothing prepares him for the day she leaves him. The day that his life ends, and he goes on existing, waiting for the day that he can join her again.

Join Dixie as he remembers the love of his life in this heartbreaking story that speaks of love and loss and finally, a happily ever after.

Jeremiah+Merriam

Jeremiah Dixon has a way with words.

In the professional hockey world, he’s known as Mr. Suave. The man who always says the right thing and can charm the pants off of anyone.

Of course, when a damsel in distress falls into his arms after practice, he can’t stop himself from pursuing her. Who wouldn’t instantly fall in love with a woman who looked like Merriam Kennedy did?

She was beautiful, fierce, and everything he’s ever wanted in a woman.

They fall in love with each other over wings and beer. But before he can get her number, she leaves and takes his heart with her.

As luck would have it, he runs into her a few days later. She’s still as beautiful as ever, with a sizable bruise on her face and defeat haunting her eyes.

He tries to break through her walls, but she’s adamant that she can make it on her own.

Until, that is, her abusive father threatens her baby girl. Then she has no other choice but to run into a blizzard on Christmas Eve to escape him. And she knows just where to go.

To him. Jeremiah Dixon—the man that her heart and soul know is the one meant to fix all the broken things inside of her.

Vale has two heartfelt stories in store for her fans with this release! First we’ll get a look back at Dixie and Mary’s story from The Heroes of the Dixie Wardens MC series and a current catch up with him and his fam as he prepares to be reunited with his one true love, then we get a hockey romance with Jeremiah and Merriam. I love Vale’s MC worlds and always want more, but this dip into hockey was really fun from her and I would love to see these characters again in a full fledged series from some of his teammates too. There is lots of sadness and emotion to wade through in both stories, but the characters are true blue and easy to like. I loved that old glimpse into the MC series again even if it was riddled with sadness. Loved it and highly recommend if you haven’t read The Heroes of the Dixie Wardens MC series that you run and nab those books to catch up!

But nothing prepares him for the day she leaves him. The day that his life ends, and he goes on existing, waiting for the day that he can join her again.

Join Dixie as he remembers the love of his life in this heartbreaking story that speaks of love and loss and finally, a happily ever after.

Jeremiah + Merriam

Jeremiah Dixon has a way with words.

In the professional hockey world, he’s known as Mr. Suave. The man who always says the right thing and can charm the pants off of anyone.

Of course, when a damsel in distress falls into his arms after practice, he can’t stop himself from pursuing her. Who wouldn’t instantly fall in love with a woman who looked like Merriam Kennedy did?

She was beautiful, fierce, and everything he’s ever wanted in a woman.

They fall in love with each other over wings and beer. But before he can get her number, she leaves and takes his heart with her.

As luck would have it, he runs into her a few days later. She’s still as beautiful as ever, with a sizable bruise on her face and defeat haunting her eyes.

He tries to break through her walls, but she’s adamant that she can make it on her own.

Until, that is, her abusive father threatens her baby girl. Then she has no other choice but to run into a blizzard on Christmas Eve to escape him. And she knows just where to go.

To him. Jeremiah Dixon—the man that her heart and soul know is the one meant to fix all the broken things inside of her.

Have you ever met an alpha-hole?

Well, let me introduce you to the ultimate Ash-hole: Ash Wheeler, star defenseman for the Boston Bucks.

He’s got it all—hockey skills, women, fame, looks, and swagger. A real Ash-hole.

I don’t want to be attracted to him. Seriously, I don’t. But every time I’m around him, my body ignites.

I’ve been burned by a guy like him before, and I swear I’ll never go down that road again.

Until I do.

As a single mother who seems to draw men like Ash, I console myself with the knowledge that I know what I’m getting into.

I mean, if I understand the risks, what could go wrong?

A lot, apparently.

I try to keep things casual and vow not to fall for him.

Until I do.

And then I discover his secret and now there’s only one thing left for me to do...

Highly entertaining sexy goodness! Cathryn Fox is bringing the adorable with book four in her Boston Bucks hockey series. I’ll admit right off the bat that I loathed the Ash-hole shtick, but everything else was delightfully satisfying! Both characters had a past that made them leery of trusting but their connection was really sincere and played out well. The little family they put together was super sweet. I loved that he was so in from the very beginning and always supportive no matter what. There could have been a bit more hockey and a bit more team camaraderie to bring everything full circle, but I loved it regardless and felt like it was a complete story. I highly enjoyed Gina and Ash and recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a sports romance with lots of heart and passion.

YOLO by Lani Lynn Vale
Series: Carter Brothers #7
on November 1, 2024
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

Garrett Carter knew the moment he saw her years prior that she was the one.

His one, however, had a fiancé. And she was rich. She also lived out of state.

So what other option did he have but to let her go?

Years later, he sees her again at her worst.

Her husband-to-be has stranded her on a hiking trail with a head wound, convinced she’s faking her blindness.

Garrett takes one look at the injured Bindi Howe and knows there’s no way she’s faking it.

Rushing her to the hospital, he gets her there just in time to save her life.

During the craziness, Garrett has no clue it’s her—his one.

He leaves her there with her family and goes back home to his lonely life.

Only fate intervenes for him a third time, and it’s then that Garrett decides that he’s going to go for it.

But, like always, life intervenes, and he’s forced to leave her behind once again to keep her safe.

As luck would have it, fate gives him one last shot, and brings them together one last time, and Garrett refuses to let her go, despite Bindi’s fiancé coming back begging for a second chance.

Vale is the rockstar of creating hunky heroes that melt our hearts! Concluding the Carter Brothers series is bittersweet because I love this family so hard! They are sincerely good people with hearts of gold and I have adored getting to know them all. Garrett is the final sibling to find his forever and he does it really well with Bindi. The characters are well developed with a great supporting cast behind them as chance encounters define their path forward until fate decides it’s time for them to be together. The plot is angsty and heartfelt and I loved every minute of their story. Getting to see the whole family together was a heartwarming farewell.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who loves a family of law enforcement officers who have each other’s backs always and love hard as each sibling finds “the one” and adds to the pack!

Talk Wicked to Me by Melissa Foster
Series: The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside #6
Published by World Literary Press on October 30, 2024
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

Between expanding his veterinary practice, commitments with his motorcycle club, and international travel plans, Baz Wicked has little time for anything else. When a beautiful, frantic pregnant woman barges into his office for help with her dog, he senses something is off, and he’s drawn to her in ways he shouldn’t be. But now he can’t get Emerson Lockhart out of his head.

Having a baby wasn’t in Emerson’s plans, but neither was tragically losing her parents more than a decade ago, when she was only a teenager. After all she’s been through, leaving the chaos of New York City and moving to the peaceful small town of Bayside while on the cusp of giving birth was a piece of cake. She’s used to handling things on her own, but when an unexpected emergency brings the charming vet—who makes her remember she’s more than a mother-to-be—back into her life, she’s grateful for his help but wary of his friendship.

Emerson knows how quickly the people she cares about can be stolen away, and she never wants to experience that devastation again. But the fiercely loyal, protective biker isn’t easily dissuaded. Passion ignites and affections run deep, but when their pasts collide and Baz’s demons are revealed, will it douse their flames, or can true love prevail?

Melissa Foster always delivers on steamy, heartfelt and endearing! The next book in her Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside series is Baz’s story and it was all I ever wanted and more. The meet cute was intense, the instant connection (especially on his side) was swoon-worthy and the happily ever after was super heartwarming … I loved every single minute of Baz and Emerson! Well developed characters, relatable drama and awesome follow through.

Baz is one of my fav Foster heroes of late. They are all good, but there’s just something soft and sweet about him that melted my heart.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a tight knit family who loves hard whether it’s family or friends or strangers in need. Steamy and gently angsty stories as each sibling finds their forever love.
