Blade
Alaska is my kingdom, and as President of the Kings of Anarchy, I keep control of my men and secrets that could tear our lives apart

Life here is simple—no one asks questions, and I don’t offer answers.

But when I find Hannah stranded and out of her depth, everything shifts. She doesn’t belong in my world, yet I can’t stop thinking about her.

Hannah
I came here to escape my life in Los Angeles.
A fresh start away from friends, family, and him.
After my accident, he left me because I wasn’t “perfect” anymore. For over a year, I tried to make it work, but every time he looked at me, I saw the revulsion in his eyes.
So, I sold everything I owned, packed up my cat, Grace, and moved to one of the remotest places I could find—Alaska.

Can Hannah accept the beast inside Blade and the broken men he leads, or will the brutal truth of their worlds rip them apart?

Get ready for a raw, gritty ride through Alaska’s wild terrain, where danger lurks at every turn, and love is anything but easy in 
Property of Blade, Kings of Anarchy MC Alaska.

To The Chase by Julia Wolf

I’ve never thought of myself as forgettable.

I’m confident. A little grumpy. I’m never afraid to speak my mind. I’ve got curves for days, and hair the color of a summer sky.

All that tends to leave an impression.

So when he shows up two years after ghosting me, acting like we’ve never met, I’m more thrown than I care to admit.

Salvatore Gallo is shy, brilliant, and only speaks when he means it. He’s the CEO of a billion-dollar cyber security company, but he blushes when I tease him and watches me like I’m a code he can’t quite crack.

He’s still the same man who made my heart flutter with a single, intense stare.

And now he’s asking for a second chance.

I should say no. I want to. But this time he’s not hiding how much he wants me and I’m as drawn to him as ever.

The problem? He is hiding other things. Like the three kids who’ve become his entire world. Choices he’s made. And a life I’m not sure I’m ready to be part of.

But Salvatore Gallo is patient. Persistent. Devastating in the way he shows up for me, again and again.

He’s chasing me, and I don’t know how much longer I can keep pretending I don’t want him to catch me.

Mad Rivals by Lisa Suzanne

Pro football legend Madden Bradley was never supposed to be anything but my enemy. With one season left on his contract, he’s set to take over his family’s empire, and I’m his business rival. Forced into a partnership we both resent, the last place I should be is tangled in his sheets.

Now we’re stuck working together, and the more we clash, the more explosive the tension becomes…until it finally detonates.

He’s maddening, charming, and completely addictive. And when he murmurs exactly what he’s going to do to me, I forget that he’s supposed to be the enemy.

Our forbidden romance has to stay between us. Our families can’t find out. Our companies can’t know. The truth could destroy everything we’ve worked for.

But when we discover a buried secret together, Madden faces an impossible choice:
The legacy he was born to lead… or the woman he was never supposed to fall for.

High Stakes by Nana Malone

A marriage of convenience is the only way to get her back...and to keep her safe.

The beautiful Morgan doesn't need to know how dangerous the NYC waters have become. She doesn't need to know that old family debts have come to be settled.

She doesn't need to know the way I've longed for her. We can keep things cordial...at least until night falls.

The more time we spend together, the more I come to crave her. Another one of her laughs. A smile. And god, a kiss. I've become addicted to my own wife.

I lost her once. I won't lose her again.

She hates me for the secrets I've kept. But beneath that hatred burns a passion neither of us can deny. In my arms, she remembers what we once had. In my bed, she forgets why she ever left.

As threats close in from all sides, I'll risk everything to protect what's mine. Because some bonds can never be broken, some hearts can never truly be separated, and some loves are simply... inevitable.

High Stakes is a super steamy marriage-of-convenience romance where past wounds collide with present dangers, forcing two stubborn hearts to face the truth: sometimes what you fight the hardest is exactly what you need the most.

I've been in love with Gavin since high school. He broke my heart back then, something I'm not keen to forget, which makes our current situation challenging. Our best friends are married, and we're constantly thrown together because of that connection. When those same friends ask me for a favor, one that is life-changing for all of us, I don't even question how close it will bring me to Gavin. I simply say yes.

I'm not sure what I did to turn Brystol against me, but whatever it was, I'm ready to make amends. I might even tell her that she was all I could see back in high school. When our best friends ask Brystol to be their surrogate, I have mixed feelings, to say the least. Nothing will keep me from supporting her in every way possible because among those feelings are admiration and love for the kind girl, I used to know...and even more for the woman she's become. 

Neither of us were prepared for the trials and tribulations that come with not just pregnancy but the surrogacy process--including the strain it can put on everyone involved. Nor could we predict the powerful emotions or the sheer joy of growing a life. There is no way we could have predicted the heartache that would follow.

My Favorite Lost Cause by Elizabeth O'Roark

My stepbrother’s estate is fading fast. My resistance to him is fading faster.

When my marriage hits rock bottom, I escape to South Carolina to help my charming disaster of a stepbrother, Charlie—aka "the douchiest man in Manhattan"—fix up the decaying Southern mansion he's just inherited.

But the house has other ideas. Doors slam, voices whisper, and something—or someone—wants us to be more than reluctant roommates. An old journal confirms it: Charlie and I seem to be mirroring every step of a love story that took place a century ago.

A doomed one.

With every soft moment and stolen glance, it gets harder to imagine ending up with anyone else. But all I’ve ever wanted is a family, and that won’t be happening with a man who once said he’d rather be murdered than father a child.

Our story was written long before we came to this house. But do we still have time to rewrite the way it ends?

𝑬𝒃𝒃𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑻𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒔 #2

My life had been built on a foundation of tragedies, but nothing could have prepared me for the worst one of all. The one that should have sent me over the edge.

But I had made a vow to my wife to live … whether she was here or not.

For ten years, I got by on a steady routine, and I would’ve been content to live the rest of my days just like that. But then, my father—the source of my childhood trauma—needed me as his caregiver.

And I jumped at the chance to finally receive the love I’d craved in my youth.

And when a mystery woman from the past stumbled back into my life, along with her three little boys … I jumped at the opportunity to convince her I was worth taking a chance on, too.

If only I could be so lucky …

Erin Mallon & JF Harding narrate in duet!

Grumpy meets sunshine in this charming and hilarious forbidden small town romantic comedy from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely! Where there's only one bed in the room...

I really don't need a bodyguard―I run a small-town lavender farm, for bee's sake! But I'm getting one anyway since my identical twin sister just booked the movie role of a lifetime and it's being shot in my hometown. And guess who my new broody, tattooed protector is? None other than the guy I had a one-night stand with last month.

Correction: he's the guy with the wicked mouth and heated eyes who ran out on me before the bang without so much as goodbye. And of course he arrives in my tiny hometown where the film is shooting right in the nick of time to save me from the paparazzi at the market. The coffee shop. The dress shop too. I'm trying hard to stay mad after the third time the sexy jerk rescues me.

To top it all off, he's staying in the cottage at my farm. With me. And there's only one bed.
Maybe just one night would relieve all this tension? But one night turns into another, and then into sharing hearts and secrets that are best locked up. Especially since he's leaving and I'm staying, and there's no way we can be more than a summer romance that ends far too soon.

Tropes: Small town, rom com, grumpy/sunshine, bodyguard, mistaken identity, forbidden romance, only one bed

Spy with Me by Lexi Blake


Zach Reed had two objectives when he joined the CIA team led by Ian and Charlotte Taggart. First, he needed to get close to Cooper McKay. Second, he needed to sideline or dismantle their operation. Getting to know Cooper was even better than he expected, but amongst the team he discovered a family he’d always dreamed of and a woman he wanted to spend his life with. Caught between his mission and his friends, his secrets are exposed, and his only choice is to run. He hopes someday he can make it up to the team and the young woman he’s fallen hopelessly in love with.

Devi Taggart thought she finally found the man of her dreams. Spending a long weekend with Zach filled her soul and satisfied all her deepest desires. But dreams turned to nightmares when she discovered he betrayed his team, including her brother. When Zach disappears, Devi swears to turn her back on the man forever. Unfortunately, the real bad guys have figured out she is Zach’s weak spot, which makes her a major target.

With Devi in real danger, Zach takes the situation into his own hands and offers her a place to stay with him. An offer he’s not about to let her refuse. As they navigate a criminal underworld, Zach is committed to showing Devi he’s the right man for her. If only they can survive his family.

Half-Light Harbor by Samantha Young

I went to Scotland looking for answers about my past. The last thing I expected was getting trapped on a private island with my stoic, brooding, gorgeous contractor.

Ramsay McRae is a man with secrets. He prefers the company of his dog to people and silence to any semblance of politeness. He says I’m too young, too sweet, too innocent.

Only he doesn’t know the truth. That I’m haunted by a crime that tore my life apart two years ago. I’ve come to Half-Light Harbor not just to start over, but to bring the monster who killed my parents to justice.

The last thing I need is a tortured Scot distracting me from my mission. But when his restraint snaps and my walls crumble, the results are explosive.

We say it’s only a no-strings-attached affair. A temporary moment to burn out this fire between us.

However, when my search for the truth brings danger to my door, it’s Ramsay stepping in to protect me. But it might be the secrets from his past that tear us apart forever…

Love You, Mean It by Laura Pavlov

Set in the wild beauty of the Last Frontier, this heartwarming grumpy-sunshine romance from bestselling author Laura Pavlov lights a spark between a fiery wedding planner and a single-dad contractor.


My new landlord's a real hard-ass. And I can't keep my hands off him.

Charlie Huxley's the best–and grumpiest–general contractor in Blushing, Alaska. He built the venue for the wedding planning business my bestie and I share. After I accidentally flood my home, he offers me his guesthouse while he handles the repairs. But when he starts to take charge, I feel myself losing control.

Unable to resist, we casually hook up. We both know once will never be enough.

Between us, we carry plenty of baggage. I've got the absent father, drunk mother, and estranged sister. He grew up in foster care and is single-handedly raising a daughter whose mom visits just once a year.

But Charlie makes me feel like I belong. And for the first time ever, I picture myself with a real family.

Before I go all in, I need to learn to set some boundaries.

Question is: Am I strong enough?

Book reviews for books read May 3rd - May 10th

  Happy weekend!  I read two ARCs this week. They were both very different and both very good. Marika Ray's new book is going to be the perfect summer read. Take it to the lake or the beach and fully enjoy the quirky romance between Maple and Holt. I promise you will adore the meddling seniors along the way. Then I read an arc by a debut author and it knocked  my socks off. When was the last time you got a book hangover from a brand new author? Yeah, it is a rare thing but it happened to me this week.  Check my reviews and add these to your TBR. You wont be sorry. Until next time, happy reading. Anchored by Marika Ray ARC: Release Date- 05/13/2025 #FakeRelationship #ForcedProximity #SmallTown #SecondChance #ARC I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after receiving an advance reader copy of the book. This standalone is written in first person from an alternating dual POV and ends with a HEA. Maple (32) is having a crisis of confidence due to many factors when sh...

Best Reads of 2024

 It is 2025! It feels like 2024 flew by.  This year's "best of" list is a little different.  In part this is due to time constraints and in part due to the fact that some trope categories have a LOT of excellent reads.  I just could not narrow them down to even eight for the graphics. I obviously have my favorite tropes, as this list will tell you. If you don't see a trope here on this list, it may be that I read one and it just wasn't quite a five star read for me. Most of the books I read are either four or five star reads. I have found what I like, and I tend to stick to it. You can search the labels on the main page of my blog or search in the general search bar to pull up books from another category and read my reviews. If a book is on this list, it was a five star read for me. That means I loved it, I found no major flaws in timeline, editing, or characters, and I would want to read it again. The links I am including are for Amazon out of ease, but several o...

  I read three ARCs and 2 books from my TBR in the last 2 weeks. I feel good about that considering that life at home has been pretty full lately. May has been an excellent reading month for me.

This is the third book in the series, and it is written in first person from Harper’s POV. This book is driven heavily by dialogue, and I personally did not miss having the male POV.
