CANNON by LEILA JAMES
BROTHERS OF HAWTHORNE HALL BOOK 2
Get your copy here: mybook.to/BOHHCannon
Shattered trust, twisted games, and ugly truths …

A female initiate is unheard of at Hawthorne Hall, but after forcing the brotherhood’s hand, they had no choice but to let me stay. My plan should have been simple: Find out what happened to my cousin and best friend in the world, Will.

But nothing is as it seems.

This brotherhood is steeped in tradition and built on loyalty, but the deeper I dig, the more I see fissures in their supposedly tight-knit group. And with the evidence I’ve found, every move I make seems more dangerous than the last. I no longer know who to trust.

Cannon.
Archer.
Kingston.

I don’t want to believe they’re guilty or that they could have harmed Will. But there’s only one way to find out—immerse myself in their world and keep my mouth shut. And hope they don’t break my heart along the way.

The games continue … but who is being played?

5 out of 5 stars
Cannon is the second book in the Brothers of Hawthorne Hall series by Leila James. This is absolutely not a standalone. You need to read the series in order so if you haven’t read Kingston yet… Go now! 
Cannon starts right where Kingston left off. I can’t really get into the storyline without spoilers but I can say… Holy. Hotness!! Not only that but… Holy. Twists. Cliffhanger and rawness. I am absolutely obsessed with all of it. Elliot is one badass heroine and I love that she is trying to figure out what happened to her cousin. I also love that she is discovering herself while doing so. But, can she trust Kingston, Cannon, and Archer? The might be protective when it comes to her but is there another reason for them wanting to get close to her besides the obvious? I cant wait to know what happens next in Archer! Omg…the suspense is killing me! 
Quotes: 
“I think you’d burn the world down to protect me.” 
I want to take. Possess. Claim. Make her mine. 
“I’m terrified of how much I need you,” I whisper, sharing what’s in my heart, despite how vulnerable it makes me feel.

Title: Bastard Boss

Series: Tyler and Bella Duet #1

Author: Lisa Renee Jones

Release Date: November 21st, 2022

ABOUT BASTARD BOSS

A sexy, dirty talking alpha. The beautiful, sweet, and fiery Bella. Her boss. A contract that forces him to marry. An arrangement that will change them forever. Meet Tyler Hawk…

 

Tyler Hawk is a man with secrets and a dark past. A man who has known tragedy and betrayal. He wants for little, but what he wants is more power, a legacy that is his own, and not his father’s. There are obstacles in his way, one of which is the scandal his father left behind and a will with certain demands.

 

Behind the scenes he is a man on edge, and only one woman sees the truth hidden beneath his strong will and dominant rule. Bella is somehow demanding and submissive, fiery and yet sweet. She can give him everything he wants, she just doesn’t know it, not yet, but she will. If she’ll just say yes and sign on the dotted line.

EXCERPT

“You’re going to have to share your room with me, sweetheart,” he says, and he doesn’t allow me time to object or even savor that endearment, not that objection is on my mind. I’m thinking of nothing but his mouth and hands on my body and this time, mine on his.

 

He opens the door and enters the room, maneuvering me along with him. The door slams shut behind us, and he’s already kissing me again. This time when his fingers find my hair, he gives the long strands an erotic tug and drags my gaze to his. “Control in all things, Bella. It’s who I am. It’s what I need, not a want.”

 

“And as you remember,” I say, my fingers curling on his chest, “I don’t like what I can’t control, which I guess actually means I like control, too.”

 

“And you have it with me,” he promises. “Always. All you have to say is no, and we find what feels like a yes to you. You asked if I trust you. I’m asking you now, if you trust me.”

 

I consider the complexity of the question. Do I trust him to listen when I say no? Yes. Do I trust him not to break my heart? I’m pretty sure that’s signed, sealed, and delivered, so, no. Do I trust him to make tonight all about pleasure? The kind of pleasure I’ll remember long after he is married off to his future fiancée. Yes. That’s a brutal yes because of where this is headed, which is nowhere but right here, right now, but one I can’t walk away from, either. “Yes,” I say. “I trust you.”

 

“I don’t think you do, Bella,” he murmurs, and the way he uses my name—it’s as if he wants me to know I’m not just sex to him. Or maybe I just want to believe that—even need to believe that—to be here with him, to be this intimate with him. Because I’m still me. I’m still not the “sex is sex” kind of girl, even if he aspires to change that in me. “But I want you to trust me so damn badly it’s insane,” he adds roughly, an edge of frustration in him, as if this statement somehow contradicts the control he so values.

 

It shakes me just how much I’m pleased that I’ve tormented him in some way, as if it’s selfish of me. I know this, but Lord also knows I’m tormented over this marriage agreement he’s obviously accepted. And if I think too hard about it, I will run. I will leave.

 

I don’t want to leave.

 

I press to my toes, desperate for his mouth and body, for that oblivion he’s shown me once that I crave once again.

 

His grip tightens gently round my hair, the act both arousing and brutal, as he denies me his mouth. “I’m going to make you trust me, Bella,” he declares, and then, thank you Lord, his mouth slants over my mouth, his tongue caressing my tongue. And it’s a toe-curling, deep, drugging kiss that leaves me breathless when his lips part mine. “Undress, baby,” he orders. “I want to watch.”

Release Day Blitz & Review – Tempt, Melanie Harlow

You’ve heard the story about the wedding planner who falls for the groom? Well, this is the one where she falls for his father. And that groom? He’s my ex.

TEMPT, an all-new scorching hot age gap, forbidden, small town romance, featuring a plus-sized heroine and her ex’s irresistible dad from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow, is now available!

I didn’t realize who the gruff, gorgeous older man was the night he rescued me from a creep in a Manhattan hotel bar. All I knew was that a hot, bearded stranger with a protective streak showed up right when I needed a reminder that real gentlemen still exist.

(Although he left his manners behind after asking me up to his room.)

It was the hottest night of my life, but I never thought I’d see the former Navy SEAL again.

Imagine my surprise at the rehearsal dinner one week later, when my sexy one-night stand is introduced as the father of the groom. Even more surprising? That temptation we felt in New York was no fluke.

In public, we pretend there’s nothing between us.

In private, we can’t keep our hands off each other.

The situation is beyond complicated. Zach never even knew he’d fathered a child until recently, and he wants to earn his son’s trust and respect. As for me, I’m looking for a man who wants to start a family, and Zach has made it clear he’s not that man. He’s fifteen years older, newly divorced, and he lives across the country.

But no matter how many times we draw the line, we keep crossing it.

Nothing so wrong should ever feel so right.

Sandra's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Tempt is the ninth book in the Cloverleigh Farms series by Melanie Harlow. It is also the fifth book in the second generation n the series. You can read each book as standalone but I recommend reading the series since it’s so fun, sexy, and heartfelt. Tempt is an age-gap, forbidden romance with a twist. Millie was looking for a plot twist and sure found one…
It all started at a hotel bar. Millie and Zach’s meet-cute is hot AF. The rest of the night they spend together is fire. It was just what Millie needed and nothing that Zach was even looking for. An unforgettable night with a complete stranger. A one-night stand with no-strings attached with someone who lives across the country, never to be seen again. Ready for that plot twist? It comes one month later at the rehearsal for a wedding she planned for her ex-boyfriend. It was time to meet the groom’s father…
There you go. Yep! He was the hot AF stranger from that hotel bar who made all of her orgasm dreams come true. Now, that’s a forbidden, naughty plot twist. At this point, they know they can’t go forward, right? Totally but they can’t seem to get enough of each other. Her curves make him weak in the knees. His demeanor makes her want him. It’s not only that but there was a connection from the very start. It was wrong but felt so right. 
My. God. This. Book. Is. Everything!! Some of my favorite tropes all rolled into one hit, delicious, and sweet package. I do believe it’s my favorite book in the second generation series. I do love a good age-gap story and that plot twist… I am here for it. And really, it’s not just the heat, these two are beautiful inside and out and have so much to figure out. It’s just fantastic and addictive. I am not sure if this is the end of the series or not but I hope not! 
P.S. Make sure to sign up for the bonus scene! 
Quotes: 
Everything about her was sexy. That hair—it hung down beyond her shoulders in blond satin waves. That body—those curves could make a grown man cry for mercy.
“You are infuriatingly, indecently beautiful,” I told her. “And I might never forgive you for making me want you so badly.” 
She put a hand over my cock, which strained against the denim. “Are you going to punish me for it?” 
“Hard and repeatedly.”
“I don’t want to be a good man tonight. I just want to be the one in your bed.”
