Book one in Alex Grayson's brand new romantic suspense series, Hell Night.... Welcome to Malus.

Trouble and his brothers escaped from Malus, Texas as kids. In the dead of night, they left behind a hell so hideous, it made national news.

Years later, they returned to make the place that was once their living nightmare, a safe place for those who have suffered just as they have.

When Remi comes to town, heavily pregnant and in desperate need of help, as the town's only doctor, Trouble reluctantly offers his services. Little did he know the strong attraction he would feel for the woman. He fights it, tries to push it to the side, but it only grows stronger, nearly consuming him.

Love is not something Trouble can afford to feel. Not when he still has vengeance in his blood and the need to punish those of his past. Not when he knows Remi would never be able to see past the merciless actions he must carry out.

Remi has no time for love either, no matter how much her heart yearns for Trouble. Not when danger is knocking on her door, demanding something she'll never be able to give.

Will the darkness in their pasts devour them, or will they find the beauty that's just out of reach? In a town like Malus, anything is possible....

Author: Saffron A. Kent

Released Date: February 18th, 2018

Source: GR

He was an artist. She was his muse.

To everyone in town, Abel Adams was the devil's spawn, a boy who never should have been born. A monster.

To twelve year-old Evie Hart, he was just a boy with golden hair, soft t-shirts and a camera. A boy who loved taking her picture and sneaking her chocolates before dinner. A boy who made her feel special.

Despite her family's warnings, she loved him in secret for six years. They met in empty classrooms and kissed in darkened church closets. Until they couldn't.

Until the time came to choose between love and family, and Evie chose Abel.

Because their love was worth the risk. Their love was the stuff of legend.

But the thing about legends is that they are cautionary tales. They are made of choices and mistakes. And for Abel and Evie, the artist and the muse, those mistakes come in the form of lights, camera, sex.

NOTE: This is NOT a paranormal or a priest romance.

 BOOK REVIEW: Medicine Man by Saffron A. Kent

(Standalone Forbidden Contemporary Romance)

Author: Saffron A. Kent

Released Date: September 27th, 2018

Source: GR

Willow Taylor lives in a castle with large walls and iron fences. But this is no ordinary castle. It’s called Heartstone Psychiatric Hospital and it houses forty other patients. It has nurses with mean faces and techs with permanent frowns.

It has a man, as well. A man who is cold and distant. Whose voice drips with authority. And whose piercing gray eyes hide secrets, and maybe linger on her face a second too long.

Willow isn’t supposed to look deep into those eyes. She isn’t supposed to try to read his tightly-leashed emotions. Neither is she supposed to touch herself at night, imagining his powerful voice and that cold but beautiful face.

No, Willow Taylor shouldn’t be attracted to Simon Blackwood at all.

Because she’s a patient and he’s her doctor. Her psychiatrist.

The medicine man.

 BOOK REVIEW: Suddenly Forbidden by Ella Fields

(Gray Springs University 1)

Author: Ella Fields

Released Date: January 24th, 2018

Source: Goodreads

I thought he'd always be mine,
even when I was forced to say goodbye.

We were never meant to let go,
but it happened anyway.
Too bad I didn’t know someone was waiting to take my place, or I would've held on a lot tighter.

Two years later, we were exactly where we'd always planned to be.
I'd kept my promise.
He'd forgotten all about his.
Not only had he moved on, but the person he'd moved on with was my best friend, leaving me to begin college with a broken heart.

I guess this is the part where I’m supposed to tell you some other guy stepped in, repaired my shattered pieces, and made me smile again.

This isn't that kind of story.

My heart might have been broken,
but it refused to fall out of love.

WARNING: this book contains cheating.

REVIEW

“I’m gonna marry you someday, Daisy June.” “I’m not scared. You and me … like the moon and the stars, we’re permanent.” I'm so proud of myself! For finally reading this book. Storyline that has cheating on it isn't my go to read. love triangle is one thing and I'm okay with it. Don't get me wrong i read a few books that has cheating before and I don't mind it if its done flawlessly, the execution, delivery in all. As for this book it go above and beyond when it comes to angst and forbidden plot device. It delivers all those hostile emotions, the frustration and anguish. Finding your forever at the very young age, to fall in love, planning for the future without overlooking that life isn't work that way. Then one chain of event happened that its out of your control creates the unexpected turmoil that you didn't see coming. Fate can be cruel, and timing just never on your side, that's how this book navigate. Some things were simply irrefutable and inescapable. The stars, the moon, and the way my heart would always beat in sync with hers. Let's talk about the cheating story arc in here, (view spoiler) as for Alexis, she's the ultimate snake in the grass (view spoiler) so Quinn the man of the hour, I can't really blame his action, can I??? he was just being a normal horny teenager, so inlove and heartbroken. Didn't know how to deal with reality, so he just decided to pursue Alexis, because she's the closest link, he's desperate to feel something familiar eh, and yes its fucked up, considering he did love her, they're in a relationship, not just a 3 months rebound. So for that reason I struggle a lot to accept his sentiments, the belief system and authenticity isn't quite there and isn't reliable enough for me. He knew its wrong and he regret it so much, and to be honest those cheesy moments between he and Daisy, i can't fully grasp the idea, thinking that he did it with Alexis as well even though it wasn't really implied, still cringeworthy. We more than meant a lot to each other. We were the breeze that ruffled the dandelions. The sun that scorched our skin red until we searched for reprieve under our favorite willow tree. And underneath the stretch of dark skies, we were each other’s stars. All around Suddenly Forbidden is a very very well written, the story flows naturally, pacing is great and smoothly done. The characterization isn't that great but still good, they're flawed yet understandable its just make them more interesting and relatable. Being perfect is boring. The story really sucks me in, it consumed me and I'm so invested with everything that was going on. Its unputdownable. Its a maddening ride for sure. Therefore I wouldn't think to reread this. I don't want to undergo with heart surgery again. It's just too painful. “Because without the stars, the moon is left alone to battle the dark.”

He walked into school on his first day and owned it.
I guess that's what happens when you're a prick, rich, and you're best friends with the ruling school's king.
Also didn't hurt he's drop dead gorgeous.

That's all fine.
I mean, I have nothing to do with them.
I'm a loner, invisible, and that's how I wanted it to be.

I was even proud of it, until I wasn't.

Until I saw a girl kneel before him.
Until I couldn't look away.
Until he caught me watching.

His name is Blaise Devroe. My name is Aspen Monson.
He only knew how to get, command, and demand attention. I knew how to do everything but that.
And this is our story.

"That girl isn't just trouble of the not-a-team-player, not-a-reliable-runner variety. She's trouble of the devious, manipulative, too-f***ing-hot-for-her-own good variety. She's the kind of girl who causes trouble merely by existing, and then makes sure to cause more.
And the last thing I need right now is more trouble."

A failing farm.
His father’s debt.
And a struggling college track team.
Will Langstrom has too many responsibilities, and the last thing he needs is Olivia Finnegan, a beautiful but troubled new transfer student.

A smart mouth.
A strong right hook.
And a secret that could destroy her.
Olivia is her own worst enemy, with a past she can’t seem to escape, and the last person she wants help from is a cocky track coach she can never seem to please.
Refusing to be pushed away, Will is determined to save her.
And determined to resist an attraction that could destroy them both.

REVIEW

"She's the kind of girl who causes trouble merely by existing, and then makes sure to cause more." Im still reeling about this book, its sad and bit disturbing. You can't really blamed Olivia for putting her walls so high, after all what she had suffered and witnessed when she was just a child. She's one hell of a tough cookie. As for Will I loved how he supports and care for Olivia even if its prohibited, and I admit there are times I just want to shake him up to fight his love and just be with Olivia, but at the same time Its understandable, considering his her track coach and had a snotty girlfriend. I want to dislike his actions towards Olivia, its quite exhausting and frustrating at times, I'm just happy he finally made up his mind and get the courage to fight for her. All is well. what I adore most in this book was the subplot behind Olivia s state of mind, its somewhat unparalleled and only adds a thrilling flavor to the story. RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

 BOOK REVIEW: Sweet Dandelion by Micalea Smeltzer

(Standalone Student-Teacher Forbidden Romance)

by: Micalea Smeltzer

Released Date: March 25th, 2020

Dandelion Meadows is cursed.
Horrible name.
Horrible luck.

At eighteen she should be headed off to college, all smiles and naivety.
Instead, a victim of a school shooting, she’s starting her senior year in a new city and living with her brother.
Nightmares of that terrible day haunt her, affecting her daily life and the relationships around her.
Forced to meet with the school counselor, Dani finds him chipping away at the walls she’s built around herself, and even her heart.

Lachlan Taylor doesn’t know what to make at first of the broken student he’s tasked with helping. She’s survived a trauma he’s not sure he can save her from, but he knows he has to try.

The more time they spend together, the more they learn about what it really means to live.

Some things are forbidden.
Some things are necessary for survival.

Their love is both.

REVIEW

I’m very lucky to be on my own two feet, but sometimes I feel like a bird with a broken wing, destined to never fly and it hurts all over again. Such an emotional and heavy heart story. Learning to breathe and be brave again. Losing someone you loved was never easy. Dani's journey of finding oneself and unexpected love with a someone though its forbidden and unconventional was still a great inspiration and hard lesson at the same time, but that was life. We can't really choose who we might fell in love. Life is messy and beautiful. You can only fight gravity for so long, and the two of us have been falling together from the start. Lachlan and I are inevitable. An ocean could separate us and I know deep down we’d still find our way back to each other. This story has more depth to it, than what you are thinkin'. It contains sensitive matter that might offend some readers but I can assure you Micalea handled those meticulously. IMO it helps the book not be bland instead more engrossing. “Wrong doesn’t always mean bad, Mr. Taylor.” “You’re loving me in the light.” RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

 BOOK REVIEW: Royal by Winter Renshaw

(Rixton Falls 1)

by: Winter Renshaw

Released Date: February 23rd, 2016

Source: Goodreads

His name is Royal, but he’s no prince charming. He’s not even a prince - though you could say I loved him once upon a time.

He was my older brother’s best friend.

Growing up, he sat at our dinner table every Sunday, teased me mercilessly, and pretended I annoyed him.

When I was old enough, he took me on my first date.

Royal taught me how to drive. Escorted me to my junior prom. Gave me my first kiss…amongst other things. He was my first taste of toe-curling, all-consuming, can’t-sleep love.

We had our whole lives ahead of us. There was never anyone else for me but him.

And then he disappeared. No letter. No explanation. Not even a goodbye.

My sisters and brother never forgave him, and my parents forbade me from speaking his name in our house ever again. For all intents and purposes, we were to pretend Royal Lockhart never existed.

I’ve spent the last seven years trying in vain to forget my first love, but just when I think I’ve finally moved on, guess who’s back in town? 

REVIEW

“Because I’m a prince. It’s why my name is Royal. Princes kiss princesses.” All those years, I’d painted him as some kind of idyllic fantasy. He represented youth, and carefree summers, and can’t-sleep-love. This man is my weakness. I’m addicted, and he’s my fix. Our love is just as vibrant and alive as ever before. ⇾ Highly recommend.

The name on the screen was “Absinthe.”

But I knew her as the sultry voice blowing up my phone for late night chats about Proust and Hemingway interspersed between the filthiest little … mutually satisfying exchanges ... I'd ever experienced in my life.

We’d never met. 

Until the day she walked into my office, her cherry lips wrapped around a candy apple sucker and an all too familiar voice that said, “You wanted to see me, Principal Hawthorne?”


AUTHOR’S NOTE: This full-length romance is a complete standalone and contains subject matter that may trigger sensitive readers. All characters are adults and all interactions are consensual. :-)

REVIEW

“Some people are born with silver spoons. I was born with a rusted paring knife. And still, it didn’t break me.” Out of all student-teacher romance out there, this book surpasses my expectation in every single way, how the story took a different turn and twist and the outcome, I wouldn't wanted it in another way. The wordplay is captivating and sensational. You can feel how compassionate Halston and Ford as a characters. How depth the plot device was. all around dynamic of the storyline singe to my heart. Her love for me is sweet and understated yet undeniable present until the very last word on the page. And that may be the saddest part of all—she still loves me. And she gave up on me. Because I let her go. “I’ve loved you since the very beginning. And I’ll love you until the very end.” “Absinthe + Kerouac Always” RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
