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. 

Defend Me- Emory Weste

 

Defend me is the story of Brooks and Tillian if you been following the a series then you are already familiar with him but Tillian we have only met him briefly. And this their heartbreaking but beautiful story. 

Defend definitely surprised me while I love it at the end, I had a hard time getting into the vibe of the story i don’t know if it was because it felt more triggering to me than the last two books in the series 
Or I was just not in mindset for it but I push through it and love it. Is definitely has a bit more angst than the previous books in the series, is more rough to read because some of the triggers but is also beautiful the love Brooks & Tillian share is beautiful to read as well, I’m glad that I didn’t give up
On it. 

Overall I think is another great installment in the series and can’t wait for the next book I’m so intrigued about Travis and the mystery love interest.


* please read the triggers is very important. 

Finance Bros - August Jones Cover Reveal

Blurb:

Ryan

Ever say something you regret? Like regret so hard you get the word REGRET tattooed on your arm? Same.

I accidentally told my stepbrother I was in love with him when we were fourteen. In my defense, strong cough syrup was involved, but to my great regret he hasn't missed a chance to show me how disgusting I am ever since. He damn near ruined my life.

But I'm not a kid anymore, and the summer internship I scored at the best investment banking firm in San Francisco is my ticket to a perfect life. Everything is going to plan until he shows up.

Malcolm 

My former stepbrother was supposed to fall off the face of the earth so l'd never have to look him in the eyes again, and honestly, I thought he had. The sight of him with his rock hard body in a great suit makes me feel things l've ignored for years. Things I'm not sure l'll be able to avoid if I let him back into my life. And I wouldn't except—| might need his help.

In addition to learning the ropes in finance, each intern gets a hundred bucks to turn into a pile of cash by the end of summer. Whoever makes the most wins a dream career with the firm.

The only rule? There are no rules. When the rest of the interns pool their money for an advantage, I have to decide whether to go it alone and risk the job, or confront my complicated history  with Ryan and work together. Good thing we both claim to be straight.
