Distraction: Mobsters and Billionaires book 4: Kelly Fox

Loved Hopper finally getting his RICO agent.

This was a great story. Packed with romance, gunplay, mafia baddies, found family, past trauma, grief, and friendship - Hopper and Liam get the HEA they deserve.

I especially enjoyed Hopper being more than just the "crazy mafia enforcer." He was a fully fleshed out character, from his love of 🔪🔪 all the way to his paintings and his love of animals. Liam peeling back all his layers and slowly falling for him was an absolute treat. But, oof, what a sad backstory. Hopper's claustrophobia was so valid, and watching him deal with his trauma wasn't fun, but I loved to see him thriving.

There were plenty of cameos (YAY!), and we got more of the crappy Byrne Brother family + Fallon, woof. But it was all so well done, and when you're reading a mafia story, you gotta deal with baddies.

Oh! Also, Liam's grief. Losing his grandfather  and his job, and then as he's falling for Hop, that grief over not being able to share with his favorite person the fact that he's falling in love. Just stab me in the heart now! So well done!

I loved Hopper & Liam. I loved this series. It's absolutely worth the reread, and I'm legit shocked that I forgot to review it originally. Can't recommend the Mobsters & Billionaires stories enough!

Wilder Heart: KT Yarrow

Y'all, I LOVED THIS STORY. I saw it available to arc read, and I took a chance. I am SO glad I did. I loved Cash & Wilder. If you love cowboy romances, 10/10 recommend this one. I've been crying off and on throughout the entire book. Wilder was such an amazing character. His back story was TOP TIER, and how he got introduced to the story kept me engaged the entire time. And Cash. Don't get me started on him. He is the perfect cowboy and the perfect place for Wilder to land. After being released from prison, omg that story broke my heart, Wilder goes back to his family ranch. But so much has changed, and so has he, and he doesn't quite feel like he fits anymore. Cash, the ranch foreman, is Wilder's boss... but he becomes so much more. This story has so much HEART and family dynamics. Lain, Wilder's brother and his family, also have to adjust with Wilder being back on the ranch. And the other ranch hands too. Everything is a part of the story. But there were s...

The Legend Next Door: Totally Pucked Book 2: Jesse H. Reign

I think this may be the hardest review I've ever had to write. I can't believe I'm saying this because I genuinely believed that Unbreak Me would remain my favorite Jesse book of all time... but THE LEGEND NEXT DOOR has, without a doubt, taken that spot. I loved this book. I LOVED IT. Jesse chose violence with this one because I died multiple times while reading. Died. Dead. Ben Stirling. Holy hell. BEN STIRLING CAN GET IT. Where did he come from 👀 I need to know. Jesse. How do I get a Ben Stirling, please? And Jeremiah. JELLY. Oh my god, Jelly. Both mmcs had no right to be as perfect as they were. It's just uncalled for. My heart can't take it. And Luca. 😭😭😭😭 I usually don't like kids in books, but Luca was such a sweet little character- and seeing Ben with his son was SO SWEET. But seeing Jeremiah with him was so much sweeter. The grief? God. It hit like a punch. The biawakening? Felt as natural as breathing. Believable, too. The chemistry? O...

Granddaddy's Law: Wolfe Productions

It's rare for me to go all in on a taboo story. Mainly because I need a little plot to enjoy a story and most taboo is just porny erotica. Which, to each their own, we don't yuck anyone's yum here - but I need some plot. My little corner of booksta was popping OFF about the latest taboo story, a collab of dark romance writers Brea Alepou & Skyler Snow. I've enjoyed their work in the past, and was told by a trusted booksta friend that Grandaddy's Law did in fact have a plot in addition to the porny goodness that had everyone OMG-ing the day away. I'll tell you this too, I love a well written taboo and forbidden story. I'm not in any way a prude. Y'all.  When I tell you how much I LOVED this novella - I was shocked by how much I enjoyed it. Ezekiel is a BRAT. A live wire. He is coasting through college selling & using drugs and riding any d*ck he can find. After his latest arrest, Ezekiel is expelled from school and sent to live with his unknown pa...
