New Release: Falling for the Villain by M. Robinson & Rachel Van Dyken

Falling for the Villain by Rachel Van Dyken & M. Robinson is now live!

From Wall Street Journal & USA Bestselling Author M. Robinson & #1 NYT Bestselling Author Rachel Van Dyken comes a full length, standalone dark romance novel.

“Play for me, Juliet…”

Those four words whispered in my ear again and again until I craved what I used to fear. Such a simple demand from my captor—the man who stole me and refused to tell me why he wouldn’t let me go.

I was his.

He made me need him, just as much as he needed me. I broke all the rules of the golden prison he put me in.

During the day he ruled his dark, seedy world. His subjects and me.
During the night—he bowed before my feet.

Have you ever wondered what happened to the villains in all the fairy tales you read?

You’ll soon find out.

It all started when he kidnapped me and made me his pet.
And it all ended with me…

Calling him master.

*This story is not for the faint of heart and may be uncomfortable for some readers. But, then again, stepping outside of your comfort zone may be exactly the thing you need… Care to play with us, readers?

My Review:
Falling for the VillainFalling for the Villain by M. Robinson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Uncomfortable, Compelling, Unexpected. Donovan and Juliet don’t have a traditional romance. From the moment Donovan kidnapped Juliet, this journey took me out of my comfort zone and forced me to keep an open mind to truly experience and appreciate the relationship these two would have. The world that Donovan rules is ruthless and horrific. But to peel back the layers and find the man behind the mask provides the perfect balance to the good vs evil in this story. Juliet is impressive with her strength and courage. Through a crazy situation, she shows that she is a Sinacore and can handle whatever is thrown at her. Definitely read the warnings and strap in for a crazy intense ride if you dare. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

He thought she was the one . . . until she walked away.  Now she's back and he wants her more than ever.


As a former Marine, Xander Kingston’s writing keeps him sane.  Bonus? His thrillers made him one of Hollywood’s most desired screenwriters – and also introduced him to a fledgling starlet who broke his heart.

And just as dangerous to his heart.

Xander has built emotional walls to keep Sasha at a distance, but their physical attraction can’t be denied. When a stalker’s threats intensify, Xander moves Sasha into his house to keep her safe. Before long she's back in his bed and making inroads in his life. 


But when the danger passes and the movie wraps, Sasha and Xander face a familiar choice—put career first or give love a fighting chance.

A regimented life on the track is the reason I’m a Kingston College scholarship student.

Desperation drove me to do something foolish.

Something that put my body in the hands of the guy I hate.

I didn’t want to like his touches. I didn’t want to crave him.

Now I fear he’s going to ruin me again…in ways there will be no coming back from.

Blog Tour & Review: When You're Mine by Layla Hagen

When You're Mine
By Layla Hagen
Release Date: June 8

 Dylan Gallagher knows what he wants: to take New York by storm and steer clear of serious relationships. That’s the plan. That’s the goal. It’s easy too, now that his software company is making headlines. Nothing is getting in the way of that—not even his gorgeous personal trainer. After the way his last relationship ended, Dylan’s sworn off romance. 

Mel keeps talking him into doing things, like watching the sunset and slowing down to enjoy life. Her smile is addictive, and so is her permanent sunny disposition.

When she trains him and he watches her body, he’s constantly fantasizing about exploring every inch of it all night long, claiming her mouth every time she gives him a sassy reply. 

Mel Dawson hasn’t had an easy life. Between her Dad’s sickness and her ex ghosting her after she loaned him money, she’s faced a few challenges. But she loves looking on the bright side of life and she’s determined to get Dylan to do the same. 

Dylan is used to taking risks in the boardroom, but not in his personal life. How much is he willing to risk for a chance to make Mel his?

My Review:
When You're Mine (The Gallaghers, #2)When You're Mine by Layla Hagen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dylan firmly believes that relationships aren’t for him. He tried and thought he found it only to have the woman walk away when he proposed. But in the Gallagher family, well, that just seems crazy that he wouldn’t want to find love. When he meets Isabelle’s trainer at the gym, he is captivated by Mel. Mel ended up dating a loser and since then, well, the dating pool hasn’t been kind but she wants to find that guy to build a life with. For years, it’s just been her and her dad so wanting a husband and family is a true dream for her. Dylan is a surprise at the gym but even more surprising is all his gentlemanly and charming ways, something Mel hasn’t ever experienced before. Is Mel the woman that can repair Dylan’s heart and belief in love? Or will he give up the chance at something wonderful out of fear? I always enjoying spending time with the Gallagher family. They are a great support system for each other and have so much fun pushing each other’s buttons while helping each other navigate the ups and downs of life. It was wonderful to see how they embraced Mel and how much she truly needed that at this time of her life. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

Rule #2: Don’t date an artist. Tally recently broke Rule #2, and the artist broke up with her. The consequence? She’s stuck curating a three-week exhibit for the jerk, and the only thing worse than dealing with him and his new girlfriend are the pity looks from the other artists.   So, she calls in a favor from her former best friend.   Sam Deschenes didn’t expect to see Tally again. And he knows he’s to blame. So when she says she’s coming to town and needs his help, Sam can’t say no—not even when she asks him to be her pretend boyfriend.   Tally wants nothing more than to forget Arizona, which is why this charade is critical. She’ll replace all her memories with fake ones and prove she never really loved Sam.   As the days tick by, remembering Arizona—and all the reasons she fell for her best friend—come too easily.

My Review:
Remember ArizonaRemember Arizona by Rebecca Sharp
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Best friends every summer, Tally and Sam were unstoppable. They had big plans to go to New York together for college until Sam shattered Tally’s world and stayed in Arizona. Tally is building a career for herself in New York but isn’t really happy. Her latest project is allowing her to stage an art exhibit in Bisbee, which will be the first time she has returned home in 10 years. What she didn’t expect is to need a favor from her former best friend to be her pretend boyfriend. Sam had to make a tough decision for his family when he pushed Tally away. But his heart never stopped loving or missing her. But will she forgive him for pushing her away? I had fun with Tally and Sam. These two were kindred spirits from the start but forgiving isn’t always easy. Sam though is persistent and patient.

New Release & Review: Memories of You by J. Kenner

Memories of You, an all new sexy second chance Stark Security novella from New York Times bestselling author J. Kenner and 1,001 Dark Nights, is out now!

Hollywood consultant Renly Cooper is fed up with relationships. His recent breakup with a leading lady played out across the tabloids, and the former Navy Seal is more than ready to focus on his new position as an agent at the elite Stark Security agency. He’s expecting international stakes. Instead, his first assignment is to protect one of Damien Stark’s friends from a stalker. A woman who, to his delight, turns out to be one of his closest childhood friends.

After a foray into online dating puts tech genius Abby Jones in danger, she needs a bodyguard, and her business partner, Nikki Fairchild Stark, enlists help from Stark Security. When the assigned agent turns out to be her best friend from junior high—and her first crush—she’s thrilled to discover he’s even more delicious now. She hopes one sexy night can turn into more, but Renly is firmly in the friends-with-benefits camp.

As the threat to Abby increases, she tries to keep her growing feelings for Renly at bay. But as the sparks between them burn even hotter, can they go from friends to lovers when the first order of business is simply to keep Abby alive?

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Excerpt

In the rearview mirror, I watch as he gets off the bike, then walks toward me across the lot. I get out and meet him at the rear of the car. 

“I haven’t got a single quarter,” he says. “Do you?”

I laugh. “Not a one. But I do have a credit card.” I’m about to walk over to that side and start the system running, but he gets there first, sliding in his card and then grinning at me as the machinery starts rumbling. 

This particular car wash has a hose on each side of the stall. I’ve always assumed that was so that you don’t have to drag a dirty hose over your newly cleaned half in order to wash the other side. Now I consider another purpose. 

Renly apparently has the same thought, because I see the gleam in his eyes as he goes to the far side, then grabs the coiled hose, his hand poised on the nozzle. 

“Don’t you even think about it,” I say, going for my own hose.

His eyes widen, all innocent and guileless. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” 

I burst out laughing. Then, still laughing, I pull the trigger on my own hose and spray him, accidentally getting him full-on in the crotch.

“Seriously?” he says. “Sweetheart, you are so going to pay for that.”

“Phhbbt.” I dance away from the spray he aims at me.  “I would have thought someone in the military would have a faster reaction time.” 

He aims again, and this time manages to completely soak the T-shirt I’d worn to work this morning. “Hey!” I protest. “This is a genuine discount bin Old Navy T-shirt. How dare you defile it?”

“Well, it fits you very nicely,” he says, letting his eyes skim over me in what I know is an exaggerated leer. 

I glance down, realizing that since I knew I was going to be the only one in the office today, I hadn’t bothered to wear a bra. That’s something I can usually get away with, but in a wet T-shirt, even my barely-B-cup breasts look pretty perky.

I roll my eyes. “Perv.”

“I apologize for nothing.”


My Review
Memories of You (Stark Security, #5.5)Memories of You by J. Kenner
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m excited that Abby got her own story. She is a great business partner and friend to Nikki and as their business grows, she finds herself being harassed with crank calls. It’s enough for Damien and Nikki to have someone check into the situation. To Abby’s surprise, Renly walks in, a childhood friend that she lost touch with and her first love. Renly is surprised to see Abby, not knowing she was living and working in LA. She was his best friend but he had pushed her away and then was forced to move away years ago. He isn’t looking for a long-term relationship but being around the girl that stole his heart back in junior high school, well, this may prove to much for him to resist. These two have amazing chemistry and it was fun to be part of this second chance that they are given while unraveling the mystery plaguing Abby’s life. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
