Queen of His HeartQueen of His Heart by Suzanna Lynn

Bloody Brilliant Psychological Thriller (no spoilers)
An impressive and captivating journey that delves past the norm into the darker depths of the human psyche
IMO opinion the less you know going in the greater impact this story will have
Sam is a profiler - educated, smart and always the good girl. She is 'chosen' to go undercover because it was felt that her skill set had a better chance of acquiring the information needed to bring down the Deck, I use the term chosen very loosely because I honestly felt it was more like she was sacrificed for someone else's gain (No I am not telling you, nice try though)
The King - Dom - One of the most bloodthirsty, ruthless, psychopaths I have had the pleasure of being introduced to - D @ M N did that man make my blood flow and my heart sing. His brutality had such a beauty to it. He rules his kingdom with no margin for error - There are some things about him I would have liked to have a bit more detail on, it didn't curtail the story line in any way, just things that IMO would have made it that much more
Hayley is my hero! This is an area I really do not want to give away - It truly makes the pieces fit together
The story line flows smoothly, easy to follow - even leaves some crumbs that I am hoping will lead to future stories with this cast
The secondary (that survived) and supporting characters are also well detailed - I either loved or loathed them right from the start.
This was a new author for me I was offered a comp copy and I am so glad I did not pass up this opportunity
If you enjoy the darker side of romance garnished with violence and topped with a bit of blood and gore then go click!!
Be prepared for a few "OMG" "NO NO" moments and maybe even a tear or two - Why do you ask? You know I am not spoiling this for you!
I truly would love more from this universe - an all-around extraordinary read!

Stupid Smart  (Jaded #3)Stupid Smart by Jenn Hype

I can't recall the last time that two main characters who were the equivalent of oil and water were such an absolutely perfect match!
This is an entertaining and enchanting romance that will check all your boxes!
This had me in stitches from the opening scene - Moreover, if I had the results that Clara seemed to be encountering with her "blind dates" I would have given in long ago - Cats and Netflix forever
Clara is sweet on the outside and tangy as all on the inside (she is a reverse sour bear! ) I liked that she lived her life how she felt comfortable from her dress to her endearing attitude 😉 she was a constant source of wonderment
Liam - that boy has it bad - he is the player, the joker, the commitment-phobe and her brother's employee - making him off-limits to Clara - not to mention he is a womanizer and an arse! What started out for Liam as a bit of a joke has become a challenge he has no intention of losing
This is one of this years must-reads!
A whole lot of laughter softened with a bit of angst enveloped in the purest of loves
Don't pass this one up

Royally Bitten (Blood Alliance Series Book 2)Royally Bitten by Lexi C. Foss

Let me start by clarifying that I own every single one of Lexi's books -
Her ability to weave a tale goes beyond the mundane to the realm of exceptional - Her stories easily transport the reader to another realm -Fully immersing them in an unparalleled world of magic and make believe
I hated closing that last page on Royally Bitten

Rae is my type of heroine - She has no intentions of lying down and "accepting" her fate - she will survive on HER terms the only way she knows how - one small biting 😏 battle at a time - Lawd I love her tenacity and innocence - and may the goddess help you if you get her hackles up

Kylan - if you read the first book in this series than you know Kylan might be suffering from insanity and even though he is a Royal he might just possibly maybe need to be put down - but, then again maybe not (NO I am not telling you to have to read it for yourself)
I will admit I was not his biggest fan through most of this story and he is still in my Makes me mad as H E L L yet Sexy as sin box -
Is he redeemable?
Can a Royal of his age truly see humans as more than pets and fodder for food and entertainment?

The Blood Alliance series is a post-apocalyptic paranormal series where humans are nothing more than food and Werewolves and Vampires rule
I am not sure why you are still here?
Go on get clicking!! This is one journey you won't want to miss

All My Truths & One LieAll My Truths & One Lie by Fabiola Francisco

Emotional - Endearing - Powerful
This is on a completely different level than what Francisco normally writes
For me, this was a raw and at times very emotional read
Navia -
We share her journey as she strips her sense of self down to the core- almost a place of primal being - and slowly rebuilds her self love - confidence - and gratification - until she finds the woman she was truly meant to be
I do not want to give away anything - I believe that each of us we will come away with something different from this read -
I will say be prepared to laugh, to cry - to find that you pause for a moment and reflect on your own self -
Yes, it is that powerful - that beautiful

His Uptown GuyHis Uptown Guy by Felice Stevens

💕 All the feels
An Amazing Journey of compassion, hope, and acceptance
Jesse's world has slowly imploded and he finds himself a bit lost and a whole lot alone - multiple events have left him with agoraphobia - he finds himself at a turning point where he must choose- fight to move forward or abandon hope and let the darkness take him
Dash has a dream to bring him and his family out of poverty and into a life of stability and dreams
I enjoyed the charisma that both the main characters emitted - They were so easy to connect with -I can not tell you how many times I wanted to reach in and shake them and remind them they were worthy!
This was such a sweet and emotionally satisfying romance
A little angst, a little humor and a whole lot of happily ever after
The copy I read was comp.

Gray's Wolf (Big River Pack Book 1)Gray's Wolf by Lynn Howard

What an absolute blast Gray's Wolf was to read
Nova makes the story!
This is a funny, sometimes suspenseful, romance that provides all the warm happy fuzzies that make a romance great
The characters are authentic - each with their own quirk that not only endears them to the reader but plays well opposite the other roles
Gray and Nova are insta-love but it works with this storyline and these characters - The way their relationship is presented, I never doubted their feelings for each other
As a first in series, we are introduced to quite a few characters - though for many we are given only small glimpses and introductions but somehow you know they will play predominate roles within this series
A lot of breadcrumb trails and secret pasts are also dangled inside the storyline -
So many fabulous possibilities for the future
I am honestly excited to see who gets the next story -
I was provided a comp copy
