Price of Victory-Hayden Hall ARC review

 This is the story of Rhett and Aiden two very different characters yet same in some ways 

Both have complicated history as their families are business rivals that have cause some issues between them that have led to some animosity but you know what they say there is thin line between love and hate. 

I love the story after reading Depths of desire I couldn’t wait to read this one especially because rivals to lovers are one of my favorite tropes and I was not disappointed the chemistry Rhett and Aiden had was hot, the banter was also so good; it was definitely fun, fast paced story in my opinion low angst and medium heat, it was a perfect afternoon read for me. The tiny bit complain I had is that I wish it had some extra chapters there were some moments that were only mentioned and wish we had been able to read them especially because it was the last book and wanted more couple moments also there was mention of of D/s kink that was mentioned but was not explored which was bit disappointing because the little bit scene we had was so good. But overall the book was amazing and loved it I just wanted that bit extra but this definitely was a good story to end an amazing series. I will definitely missed the characters.

After All This Time- Marina Pirlimpou

 

This is the story of Liam and Cooper two best friends that have such a deep connection but after a summer everything changes.  What will happen when they reconnect? 

Marina is a new author for me i stumbled on a post announcing ALTT and when I read the blurb I gasp it sounded so good and glad I was not disappointed because I love everything about this story. Cooper and Liam are so perfect for each other I’m glad I only suffer for few chapters because I got to admit I was a bit worried about the bit of angst we got at the beginning and then  time jump as well,  but fear not because this story is such sweet story of how two friends find their way back together. It has everything a comfort story needs definitely not my last book by Marina can’t wait for what she will deliver next. 

Bittersweet Revenge(Sins of the Father #1)-Riley Hart

 

This the story of Dean and Tiernan two different men yet the same in some many ways  except one is being trained to take over his father’s position and the other is seeking revenge for his father’s murder. What will happened these two worlds collide? Will it be a bittersweet revenge after all. 

This is definitely one of my favorite stories from Riley while it is described as dark romance  I personally wouldn’t describe as one is definitely more edgier than her other books but a much much tamer version of what a dark romance is, in my opinion of course. With that said I definitely enjoy the story the characters grew on me as the story progressed , I gotta admit i was on the edge of my seat waiting for the big reveal especially with how obsessed with each other they were. The only small let down that I had was with the villain he needed to suffer more and for Dean to fulfill his revenge. But Overall this a great book is the first of a series so I’m definitely intrigued about how the whole Sins of the father will played out with other characters and how will Riley will develop their stories. 

Crown of Thorns(The Initiation #3)- Lola Malone ARC Review

 

5 stars my favorite 

Since I read COD I’ve been so intrigued about Louis he was this interesting character that i couldn’t wait to read his thoughts and meet his love interest and let me just say Lola deliver she couldn’t have given him a better Love Interest Noah was perfect for him as Louis was to him. He was so broken my heart broke for him reading about his past and how he was treated and was just heartbreaking and Louis was chaos to Noah’s calmness but also so much more while he did to was fighting his own insecurities he also wanted to be everything and give everything to Noah. Their chemistry was just amazing, their push and pull was perfection. 

While I love the story If you follow the series then you are familiar with some the twist this series has but here you get to see a little more that,  for me that I got to admit wasn’t very fond of some the decisions regarding the Brotherhood in the first book without giving to much a spoiler I wish those who cause harm would have been punished way earlier a lot of headache will have been avoided. But nonetheless the less this is more a Louis and Noah story and I love that because they were both meant to be.  

Overall Crown of Thorns was worth the wait please read it is so good.

Ice Breaker- Ariel Dawn and Penny Fox

 When i read Broken vows I felt a vibe between Alex and Jordan come to realize my suspicions were correct they were next so i was excited for their story. 

While I did love it it took a while for me to get into the flow of the story since ice breaker and Broken vows are in the same timeline some parts felt repetitive and it took time to shift that focus I felt like some things could have been omitted in the end; But Nevertheless this was great read both characters are flawed, they have so many emotional scars that need healing and I’m glad that even though it took a while and a lot of miscommunication they finally heal and fought for that HEA. 

Overall this was while ride and it makes me wonder what else happened in Vegas on that infamous bachelor party.  

Bittersweet Revenge-Riley Hart Cover Reveal

                                                  Blurb:

Dean

I've been stalking Tiernan O'Shea online for years.

After Sloan O'Shea killed my dad, my mom and I spent years in hiding, moving from state to state, changing our names, never drawing attention to ourselves, hoping to never be found

I've fed off nothing but vengeance ever since.

Tiernan O'Shea is exactly like his father-arrogant, rich, ruthless.

The plan is simple: Get accepted to Ashford U. Get close to Tiernan. Get him to trust me. And then, when he brings me home to his father, I'll take my revenge on Sloan O'Shea.

What I don't expect is discovering the secret side of Tiernan, the parts he doesn't show the rest of the world. He's as beautiful as he is brutal-deadly, yes, but he's also the kind of man who would do anything for those he loves. We're alike in ways I never imagined. And when he touches me, kisses me..it makes me feel like I matter.

I've spent my whole life hoping to even the score, but now my revenge will be bittersweet because it'll make me lose the only man l've ever loved.

Content Warning: Bittersweet Revenge contains violence, darker themes, and morally gra) characters with no redemption arc. This is still a Riley Hart romance though, so you car expect a happily ever after for our guys.

Don’t say you’re Sorry(Hawthorne University #2)- Bethany Winters ARC review

One of my favorites reads of the year.  Bethany you outdid yourself 

When I read LYHM Easton was character that stood out for me I really wanted to read about him so fast forward when Bethany reveal that we will indeed read about him i was over the moon. It was everything I could have wanted and more.

Don’t Say you’re sorry is the story of Easton and Adam stepbrothers but always much more than that. This was a wild ride from the very beginning you get pulled into the story and you can’t stop because it’s so good and also because you are rooting for the characters, the pain, the anger and the guilt, that was there you felt every single emotion, Bethany did really good on how she wrote both Easton and Adam especially how she executed their story perfectly by having flashbacks of their past many times it doesn’t work but here is important because the past shows you how they fall in love and the eventual heartbreak and it helps you understand their feelings better  the present and how much that decision really affected them; but it also important because it makes the twist in the story more heartbreaking for both of them. 

Overall this an unforgettable story of two beautiful characters that had to overcome the decisions of the past and the obstacles of the present and finally get their endgame.  

Lastly we didn’t get a resolution on some side characters plot points but I feel like Bethany will work on those in the future I especially want Carter and Axel story so  fingers crossed it happens.
