Man of Lies: Vendetta Kings book 2: Parker St. John

I loved going back to Devil's Garden, this gritty world filled with secrets and cover-ups. The Beaufort brothers slowly find their people while we unravel the crime and corruption in the parrish.

MAN OF LIES is Mason Beaufort, the lawyer brother, getting his man. Silas, the broody bartender with all kinds of secrets hiding in his long hair.

OK, I'm going to go a bit "Charlie Kelly, conspiracy board" here. Bear with me.

The Beaufort brothers:
● Gage (youngest) book one linked with Wyatt, the Parrish deputy
● Mason, the lawyer & Ben's twin. Linked with Silas, the bartender & ______ book 2
● Ben, in jail due to corruption. Was in the army, now out on release. Will be book 3 with Colton, ADA guy, and Mason's friend.
● Gideon, the oldest. The good one. He's a priest? Preacher? Runs the home where they foster kids. Has a weird vibe going with Dominic. OMG, IS IT BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA KISS AND THEIR BOOK WILL BE MAJOR?!
● Dominic, the bad boy. The crime. The... bad but for the greater good. He has a huge heart but gets in his own way.

Who is the bad guy? I think it's more than the sheriff. Something is AFOOT, and I wanna know!

We get more than romance in this series. There's a LOT going on, and none of these guys are sunshiney happy. Life has been hard, and their world is as bleak as it is beautiful.

The writing, as always, is fantastic. There's a sadness in these books. I love the characters finding their forever people, but damn. It's a journey.

Mason is hyper-focused on taking care of and managing his family. He works himself to the bone and past exhaustion and has for years.  His only solace comes from crashing in the back room of the Dead End, and that rest doesn't come from the bar. It comes from the bartender, Silas.

As hard as Mason tries to manage everything, the only place he can let it go is with Silas. But Silas has secrets, and too many things are happening, and then BOOM, the plot goes into hyperspeed.

I think this series would be best enjoyed in order. You need all the interlinking parts to get it.

MAN OF LIES is out now, and so is book one, Man of Honor. Read them, and we can go conspiracy board together!

Wilder Heart: KT Yarrow

Image
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...
