Confessions, Book 7

Everything in the world is about sex except sex.

Sex is about power. ~ Oscar Wilde

Desire. Dominance. Sex.

Ethan Holt is in the business of all three.

He believes that any fantasy can be created,

and that any kink should be explored.

Why wouldn’t he, when he has several of his own?

Control. Ethan has to have it.

In his job at The Office. In his relationship with Zayne.

He’s very particular on who he lets in his world,

and even more so on who he lets in his bed.

After all, he’s not the only one who sleeps in it.

Everything in their world is in perfect order,

just the way Ethan likes it.

Until a mysterious redhead walks into their club

and turns their world inside out.

What happens when control turns to chaos?

Do you give in to it? Or do you make chaos…submit?

Confessions: Ethan begins a new sub-series within the Chicagoverse. It is an MMF contemporary romance series that revolves around Chloé Thornton-Priestley, the wild-child daughter of the three P’s. This can be read as a standalone series.

Kara's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Ethan is the seventh book in the Confessions series by Ella Frank. I literally cried when she said the series was over so when I heard there was going to be a sub-series inside the Chicagoverse I almost couldn’t contain my excitement. This is Ethan, Zayne and Chloé’s story. Chloé is Julien, Robbie and Joel’s daughter! Chloé is nineteen and a little wild. She wants to do something exciting and ends up at a sex club with her cousin. She didn’t expect to have such a physical reaction to the two owners, Ethan and Zayne. She was mesmerized by their chemistry, their interaction and the woman at their feet. But she doesn’t have a submissive bone in her body. Right? Ethan noticed her right away. The firecracker with red hair. He and Zayne are drawn to her and always ask for what they want. Chloé’s always thought something was missing in her relationships and now she knows what. She has three fathers so she understands more than anyone, that pull to be with more than one person. What she didn’t expect was to want to submit to them. She doesn’t want to lose herself. Ethan has a proposition for her. One night. But after it’s over, he can’t stop thinking about her. Could she be the woman they have been looking for? Is she the woman who could handle him and Zayne? Hell yes, she is! Wowzas. I felt the chemistry between Ethan and Zayne the instant we met them. Add in Chloé and damn, I was all hot and bothered! It’s more than the sexiness though. There’s heart, heat and humor. Ella is the queen of this type of story and I am here for it!

Ethan is the suit wearing serious one. Zayne is laid back and tatted up and Chloé is sweet and sexy. The perfect pairing!

I can’t wait to learn more about Ethan and Zane and to see how the three P’s react when they find out! Gimme, Gimme!

Release Day & Review – All of Me Boxset, Siobhan Davis

February 28, 2023 | Posted in New Release | By

I’m head over heels in love with my best friend.

All of Me: The Complete Series, an angst-filled and heart-wrenching new-adult romance collection featuring Say I’m the One, Let Me Love You & Hold Me Close from USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Siobhan Davis is available now!

I’m head over heels in love with my best friend. Although, I can’t pinpoint exactly when Reeve Lancaster became my entire world.

Was it when we were little kids, practically brought up together, after Reeve’s mom died during childbirth and his dad subsequently fell apart? Or when I doodled his name in my school journal at age ten? Maybe it was when we became boyfriend and girlfriend at fourteen or when we shed our virginity at sixteen, pledging our forever?

I was there as his star ascended—like I’d always known it would—and there wasn’t a prouder person on the planet. As the only child of Hollywood’s golden couple, I’ve lived my life in the spotlight enough to know it wasn’t what I wanted for my future. But I sacrificed my own desires, because Reeve’s happiness meant everything to me.

Until he crushed my heart into itty-bitty pieces, forcing me to fly halfway around the world just to escape the gut-wrenching pain.

The opportunity to study at Trinity College Dublin came at the perfect moment, and I jumped at the chance without hesitation. If I’d known fate was meddling in my life, perhaps I would have chosen differently, but my future was cemented the instant I laid eyes on him.

Dillon O’Donoghue was Reeve’s polar opposite in every way, and perhaps, that’s why I felt drawn to him. He was the dark to my light. The thorn in my side, irritating me with his cold disdain, wild recklessness, and a burning rage hidden deep inside him that spoke to a silent part within me. Yet Dillon showed me what it was like to truly live, opening my eyes to endless possibilities.

What happened next was inevitable, and I only have myself to blame. He warned me, and I knew my reprieve was temporary, because there is only so far I can run.

Especially when fate hasn’t finished messing with me yet.

Sandra's Review

💞 SAY I’M THE ONE
5 out of 5 stars
HOLY. F*CK.
Say I’m the One is the first book in the All of Me duet by the addictive Siobhan Davis. I have been an addict of hers since Finding Kyler in 2016. I know when I start one of her books I will not want to put the book down. I didn’t read the synopsis until I sat down to write this review. That’s how I usually roll. I can’t get into the story without spoilers so I suggest reading the synopsis if you want to know more about the story.
I will say it again. Holy. F*ck. Two men. Two continents. Two different types of love. I am seriously invested in Vivien’s love life. Wow. If you love Siobhan Davis books then you know this is a rollercoaster of emotions, twists, turns, and loopy-loops. The writing is fantastic. The characters are engaging. The story is never boring. Angst. Heat. Laughter. Passion.  I am so glad that we don’t have to wait for the next book for too long. I need it like now.
Quotes:
“I will never tire of hearing those words leave your gorgeous lips,” he says, waggling his brows in his usual flirtatious manner.
“I keep forgetting how precious you are.”
“Kiss me like you’ll die if you can’t taste my lips.”
💞 LET ME LOVE YOU
Let Me Love You is the second book in the All of Me duet by the Queen of Twists, Siobhan Davis. You can not read this book without reading Say I’m the One first. So if you haven’t done that yet…do it now!! Go…enjoy!! I really can not say much about the story without spoiling anything. I can say that this duet is epic! I have been on some crazy emotional rides but this one is wild, heartbreaking, swoon-worthy, and poetic. It hit on every last emotion. It’s full of love, laughter, passion, twists, turns, loopy-loops, family, friendship, and angst. I couldn’t put it down!
I usually add quotes but I couldn’t even do that afraid of giving anything away. Holy. Fuck. Seriously, read this duet. The writing is addictive. The storyline is epic. The characters are so well-developed and fantastic. It’s one of my favorite reads of the year! 💞
💞 HOLD ME CLOSE
Hold Me Close is the third book in the All of Me series by Siobhan Davis. You can not read this novella till you have read Say I’m the One and Let Me Love You. The duet was one f*cking wild roller coaster ride of emotions and this one is too in a different way. I can’t really get into the story without spoiling anything. I can say that Vivien and Dillon’s family has to face their pasts and it’s not easy. The boys are both sixteen and struggling in their own ways after getting the full story of what happened when they were children. I wanted to get into the book and give them big hugs! This is a heartbreaking, raw, and emotional story. I don’t usually cry in novellas but I was a hot mess.
P.S. Please Siobhan, give us more in this world. I am hooked!
💞 BONUS CONTENT
Yes!! Loved the bonus scenes. All of these characters have my heart.
*I am voluntarily reviewing an advance complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed are my own and I have not been compensated for this review.

Sneak Peek – Toe the Line, Penelope Ward

February 23, 2023 | Posted in Excerpt | By

 

Title: Toe the Line
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Trope: Friends-to-Lovers
Release Date: February 27, 2023
BLURB

 

 

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a friends-to-lovers story spanning more than a decade…

 

At first, I thought I’d hate spending the summer with Archie Remington—the conceited son of my parents’ friends.
What I knew about Archie: he was gorgeous, pre-law, and had always treated me like I didn’t exist when we were younger.
When our families bought a house together on an island in Maine, he and I were forced to share a bathroom.
The boy I remembered was now a full-grown man—but with the same attitude.
After a rough start, Archie and I unexpectedly started getting along one day and eventually became friends. We shared secrets and bonded during our morning jogs. I discovered that Archie had a wild spirit and that he struggled to conform to his father’s expectations.
Things were cool until I had to go and ruin it, getting drunk one night, and blurting out my fantasy—involving him.
I took it back, but it was too late. Archie had heard me loud and clear. After that, we never quite knew how to toe the line.
When that summer came to an abrupt and shocking end, I headed back to college, unsure if anything would ever be the same again.
Across the miles over the years, he and I stayed in touch as friends, but fate and timing always kept us from becoming more.
You know the saying: If two people are meant to be, they’ll find their way back to each other?
Let’s just say Archie came back into my life in a way I would’ve never expected.
And this time, my heart would really be put to the test.

EXCERPT

 

Copyright © 2022 Penelope Ward

 

Mixing alcohol with nostalgia, it turns out, is not always the wisest choice.
When Archie and I returned to the house that night, we didn’t know what to do with ourselves. Neither of us was tired enough to sleep. But the alcohol from the beers at the beach and the wine he’d opened once we got back home was going to my head fast. I could no longer be trusted with my words.
Archie took out the chocolate cake he’d made earlier and placed it on the counter. We both began eating it—with our bare hands. It was a mess, and I likely had chocolate all over my face. So this is how it ends, huh? I suppose it could be worse.
“I had so much fun tonight,” he said with his mouth full. “You?”
“It was awesome. Reminded me of the old days.” I licked chocolate off the corner of my mouth.
Archie’s eyes fell to my lips. “Seven years ago sometimes feels like yesterday, and other times like forever ago, doesn’t it?”
When I felt my eyes starting to well up, I knew that was my cue. I never wanted to leave Archie’s side, but I needed this weekend to be over before I lost it in front of him. “Anyway, we’d better go to bed,” I told him. “We both have early flights in the morning.”
I hopped down from my stool and rushed over to the sink to wash my hands. I hadn’t intended to make eye contact with him again because I didn’t want him to notice my eyes. Then again, he was a little drunk, too, so not sure how perceptive he would be.
Then I felt his presence nearby.
“I have so many regrets,” he said from behind me.
I turned to face him and swallowed. “Regrets about what?”
He had chocolate cake on his face, but somehow he’d never looked hotter.
“Everything,” he whispered. “With you.” He paused. “What we did and what we didn’t do. The way that summer ended. Everything.”
“Why are you bringing this up now?”
“Because I’m fucking drunk, I guess. I don’t know.” He pulled on his hair. “You look so goddamn beautiful right now.” His eyes were hazy as he murmured, “It hurts to look at you.”
My tears felt ready to fall. I couldn’t let that happen. “Keep that shit to yourself,” I muttered.
“We never talk about it, Noelle. We talk about everything else except the massive elephant in the room—the things we did that summer, what almost happened before—”
“Stop.” I sniffled. “You’re only bringing it up because you’re drunk. This is not a healthy way to discuss anything.”
“Maybe.” Archie leaned against the center island and placed his head in his hands. He went silent for a long time. “You were with Shane for like…forever. I thought you were gonna marry that guy. And I thought you were happy. I never thought you’d break up with him.” He looked down at the floor. “I kept waiting and…”

 

Waiting? He was waiting for things to end between Shane and me?

 

“I’m sorry…” He shook his head. “You’re right. I need to stop.”
Nothing good could come of two people with a ton of unspoken baggage trying to work things out while drunk. I could’ve poured out all of my feelings. I could have chosen to complicate his already-complicated life—turned it into a goddamn soap opera. But I loved him too much. I loved him. So I wouldn’t do that.
“Goodnight, Archie. Get some sleep.”
I left him standing in the kitchen next to a chocolate cake that looked like it had been ravaged by wild animals.
Then I went to my room and cried myself to sleep.

Release Blitz & Reviews – Until You, K. Bromberg

February 23, 2023 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By

 

Sometimes you have to fall . . . to forget.

 

Until You by K. Bromberg is now live! 

 

A single dad, forced proximity, standalone romance from New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg.

Crew Madden needs to find a place to recover.
For his twin girls. 
For himself. 
From the woman who left them without a backward glance.

Recovering from a traumatic event, a summer in the small town of Redemption Falls was the perfect solution for him. For his family. The only drawback? The rental cottage at the end of the drive. 

But then he met its tenant. 

The quiet, guarded, sexy-as-sin woman who took Crew’s breath away.



Tennyson West moved to Redemption Falls to hide. 
From her previous world of abundance. 
From the woman she used to be. 
For a chance to start over . . . and be free.

She’s settled into her new life on the outskirts of a small town, content with her solitude. Her peaceful life. 

And then she met her new landlord. 

Crew Madden—and his sweet daughters—entered her life with a bang. She learned how to laugh again, to love again, something she never thought would be possible.

It was only meant to be a summer fling, but as demons from their past knocked on the door, their relationship was tested. Was their love strong enough to keep them together or would danger drive them apart for good?

Sandra's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Until You is K. Bromberg’s newest standalone. I know when I start one of her books I will not want to put it down. This one is no different… hot single dad? Sign me up! 

 

Crew Madden and his tween twin girls need to get away for the summer and there is no better place than Redemption Falls. Crew hasn’t been there since he was ten years old so when his uncle asked him to work on his house for the summer, it was the perfect opportunity to bond with his girls in the small town. So much has happened to this little family in the last eighteen months and it was their time to relax, have fun, and just breathe with no complications. Oh, about those complications… someone lives in the cottage down the driveway. A someone who can be a complication and the best thing ever to Crew and his girls. 

 

Tennyson West has been in Redemption Falls for the last two years. She stays to herself with her cat and the books she edits. She isn’t close to anyone, she doesn’t want to get attached in case she has to pack up and leave. She was perfectly content in her little cottage and not having attachments until they showed up. The girls are easy to want to hang out with and their dad is the type of man she could easily fall for. She knows for those reasons she should stay away but it’s so hard when they are so amazing. She gets them. They get her. But she doesn’t want to put them in danger with her secrets…

 

I love small-town romance, I love single dads, and I love suspense and this has all three. This story has a different feel than Kristy’s other books and I am here for it! The characters. The writing. The love. It made me laugh, cry and swoon! 

 

Kara's Review

5 out of 5 stars

 

Until You is K. Bromberg’s newest standalone romance and I am here for it! This is a single dad, small town romance and I loved everything about it. It’s fun, sexy, sweet with a little suspense. Crew and his girls stole my heart and Tennyson was the perfect addition to their little family. Crew is one of my favorite heroes of Kristy’s and I hope we get back to Redemption Falls soon so I can see him again!

 

 

 

 

Meet Kristy

 

 

New York Times Bestselling author K. Bromberg writes contemporary romance novels that contain a mixture of sweet, emotional, a whole lot of sexy, and a little bit of real. She likes to write strong heroines and damaged heroes who we love to hate but can’t help to love.

 

A mom of three, she plots her novels in between school runs and soccer practices, more often than not with her laptop in tow and her mind scattered in too many different directions.

 

Since publishing her first book on a whim in 2013, Kristy has sold over one and a half million copies of her books across eighteen different countries and has landed on the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists over thirty times. Her Driven trilogy (Driven, Fueled, and Crashed) is currently being adapted for film by the streaming platform, Passionflix, with the first movie (Driven) out now.

 

With her imagination always in overdrive, she is currently scheming, plotting, and swooning over her latest hero. You can find out more about him or chat with Kristy on any of her social media accounts. The easiest way to stay up to date on new releases and upcoming novels is to sign up for her newsletter (http://bit.ly/254MWtI) or follow her on Bookbub (http://smarturl.it/KBrombergBB)

Sandra's Review

Holy mindf*ck and I am here it!! My heart is still pounding from all the twists and turns. I don’t even know if I can form words to write this review. I do know I can’t give anything away so I won’t talk about the storyline. I love going in blind and I suggest the same. I mean, damn. The characters are raw with their emotions. It’s beautiful, really. They are in the middle of total chaos and trying to navigate their way. Mind, body, and soul. I am seriously obsessed with this story and I can’t wait for the conclusion. Monica, you f*cking amaze me!! It’s definitely a book I will never forget, just like so many of your books. 

 

 

 

BLURB:

Piano has always been my one true love.

So when the music stops, I do whatever I can to hear it again.

But when I wake, all I hear is his heart and the memories that come with it.

 

This is my body.

My mind.

But not my heart.

 

Each beat hides a secret, and his voice now replaces the music, demanding I uncover the truth.

 

I’m sent to a place to get better, and that’s when I meet her.

 

Every artist needs a muse, and Luna allows me to hear the music again. But when her secrets soon

 

become mine, I realize it’s because I’ve lived this life before.

 

Or rather, he has.

 

The man whose heart beats within my chest knows Luna…and everything she’s done.

 

 

 

 

About Monica:

New Release & 6 Heart Reviews – Dissolution, Rachel Van Dyken

February 20, 2023 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By

 

A mafia romance about family, loyalty, and love, Dissolution is the powerful conclusion to #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken’s Eagle Elite series.

“There is always a beginning—I will be their end.”

For ten years the Cosa Nostra has ruled with an iron fist in Chicago—their reign is about to end, and I’ll be the one to bring them down.

One more job for the Italian Americans, and I’m done.
Except this “one job” involves saving the boss’s brother and sister.
When things go horribly wrong, and a price is put on all of our heads from my Family back home—I’m forced to stay in Chicago, offer not just my gun but my protective services to the young girl I saved while also making sure nobody touches her.
Myself included.

My own Family has splintered.
Half want me dead, half want me alive, and the only people willing to protect me are the very ones I hate—her included.

I’m the Grim Reaper of the Sicilian mafia, and I bow to no one, not even her, so when she asks me to teach her to fight, when she tells me she wants to be made, I give in just so I can piss off the bosses.
Only I made one mistake.

I protect her from the world.
But who protects me from her?

One more battle remains between the families in Italy and in the States.
One more battle where I’m torn between both sides.
And I’m left protecting the one girl who has the potential to wreck us all.

It all started a decade ago at Eagle Elite University—the beginning.
It will end on the streets of Chicago—with me as the end.

I, Santino Sinacore, am their end.

**This may be the end of the OG Eagle Elite, but it is NOT the end of the Eagle Elite World!**

Sandra's Review

Dissolution is the twelfth and final (No!!) book in the Eagle Elite series by the queen of the mafia, Rachel Van Dyken. You can read each book as standalone, I didn’t start the series till book nine (I will get those first eight in one day!) This one I do believe is my favorite. I cried and laughed so hard! 
Santino Sinacore was out for blood. He didn’t want to be in Chicago with the Five Families. He wanted out. There was two ways: death or one last job for the Italian-Americans he loathed. He thought it would be easy. Kill some assholes and save twins. In and out. He was the Grim Reaper after all. No emotions. Just kill or be killed. That was how it was his entire life. Emotions were a weakness and no one brought them out until her. A girl who didn’t even know she belonged…
A woman who was off-limits. But rules were made to be broken, right? 
Katya was in a prison; broken and beaten but she was a warrior. She would survive to seek her revenge and it seems she has back-up who she never knew. A family. Five of them. She was confused and scared but a man who killed for a living was the only one she felt completely safe with. She didn’t understand it but she knew he was the key to survival… but will they survive the newest mafia war? 
OMFG… I can’t even. What an emotion roller coaster and I am one-thousand percent for it! I am so in love with Katya and Santino. They are fire. They are beautiful. They are just everything. And the EE OGs? My god, these men are so much fun for running the mafia world. Badasses who own cats in sweaters. I am laughing just writing that. I love them all and their wives. I know this is the end of the EE series but I have a feeling it’s not the end of RVD’s mafia world. Thank you, RVD! ♥️ Blood In, No Out 🩸
Quotes: 
Chase pulled out his gun, shaking me from my thoughts. “Let’s go, twinkle toes, people to kill, pot roasts to eat.” 
“Pot roast?” Santino repeated. “Really?” 
“We like nice things here in Chicago.”
Pieces of your life that finally fit into place, beauty out of agony and darkness, and an ending that may not be what you expected but perfect for you and your story, nonetheless.
“Girl, you’re in the mafia.” Alice winked. “Strap in, dear sister-in-law, strap in.”

Dissolution is the twelfth and last book in the Eagle Elite series. Say it isn’t so!!! I’m not sure what I’m going to do with myself now that it’s over. I’m hopeful we’ll see the beloved characters again and now I can add Santino to the list. He’s the Grim Reaper of the Sicilian Mafia (my people!) and I just fell hard and fast for another killer. He’s in Chicago, but he wants out. He just has to do one last favor for the five families. Rescue twins and then he’s out. In true mafia fashion, nothing goes the way it should. He saved her and now he needs to protect her. Katya. The gorgeous blonde who’s strong as hell and has no idea who she is. A threat’s been made on all five families and now Santino has to do something he’s never done before. Protect someone he cares about. Katya doesn’t know anything about her family. She and her brother have been on their own for a long time and now she’s being rescued and taken somewhere to meet the mafia. Oh joy. She’s not afraid. She’s not going to cower. But she’s also not going to be a victim again. She just has to convince Santino to train her. Santino didn’t live a normal life. You never show fear. You don’t have feelings. And now this woman has turned his world upside down and he’s dodging bullets from his allies. He doesn’t know who to trust, but the more time he spends with Nixon, Chase, Phoenix, Andrei, Dante and Sergio, the more he understands. They are The Cosa Nostra but they aren’t the bad guys. He doesn’t want out, he just wants to keep Katya safe. Even if it’s from himself. Holy shit! This freaking book gutted me. I pretty much cried for the second half of the story. Santino, I love you. Sergio, I love you. I love them all. What a way to end the series. It makes me sad just to type that. These men and their women have been like family to me for ten years. TEN years. I feel like I’ve shared meals, wine, secrets, sacrifices, life and death with them. My heart has been broken and sewed back together so many times. Santino somehow filled in all the cracks and made it whole again. I couldn’t love this book more. I laughed, cried big fat tears, smiled, laughed and cried more. It was just perfection. Thank you, Rachel for giving us these families and their loved ones!

Release Boost & Reviews – Chaos, Kindle Alexander

February 15, 2023 | Posted in New Release, Review | By

Title: Chaos
Series: Tattoos and Ties Series
Author: Kindle Alexander
Genre: M/M MC Romance Suspense – Standalone
Release Date: February 5, 2023
Cover Design: Reese Dante

5 out of 5 stars

Chaos is the third book in the Tattoos & Ties series by the fabulous writing duo, Kindle Alexander. We briefly met Dev in Order as he’s Keyes best friend. This is Dev and Cash’s story. It’s raw, chaotic, sexy and ends on a cliffhanger. Dev and Cash have a history and now Cash is back in Dallas and moves in next door to Dev. They have an instant connection and the sparks fly. Dev is all about fun, doing what feels good and everything to excess. Cash is there for a job that involves Dev. All his rules goes out the window after one encounter with Dev. He’s the Devilman for sure! Dev and Cash’s relationship isn’t easy. Dev has to deal with his father, his kids, his ex and now that Cash is in his life, he wants more. He never thought he deserved more. Cash is going to do his job but also protect Dev. He isn’t going to let him go down for things that he didn’t do. I’m not going to lie, there were parts of this story that were tough to read. It’s different than Kindle’s usual and that’s not a bad thing. Dev is just nuts! But I loved him! Cash is so sweet and caring and wants to do the right thing. Together they have to navigate their new normal and hope they can do it together. I can’t wait to see how their story ends!

 

“Strap in and get ready for an amazing ride!! Holy amaze balls. This is Sons of Anarchy meets Law & Order. I’m here to tell you that this story has more twist and turns than a game of Twister. Kindle Alexander has done an masterful work of telling a multifaceted story.” ~ Maude A.

“Dev and Cash are scorching hot together!” ~ I love Books 2005

“When I read a Kindle Alexander book I know I’m in for a wild ride!” ~ Avid Reader

 

 

 

Dev Devilman Fox, the best ink slinger in town, is known for his sharp wit, angry fists and epically bad decisions. Becoming a lifelong patched member of the Disciples of Havoc MC at eighteen years old is probably the worst…but certainly not the only. When his hot new tenant catches his eye, Dev jumps in headfirst, ready to drive full throttle wherever that sexy road leads. That is until he finds himself on another hairpin turn, careening his life toward the closest brick wall.
Special Agent Cash Thomas has spent years undercover rooting out bad apples within various federal agencies. When his latest assignment brings him face to face with a sinfully tempting man from his past, his priorities shift on a dime. Now his reputation as a dedicated and focused field agent is in question. When faced with the opportunity to repay the man who once saved his life, smudging a few well-established lines is the least he’ll do.
When their paths collide can a bond from the past save their future or will it bury them under the chaos? Leathers might shield them from road rash, but they can’t protect them from heartbreak.
Chaos is a suspenseful motorcycle club romance with strong male leads. A stand-alone story in the Tattoos and Ties series. If you like sexy alpha males ready to take on the world for the one they love and intriguing storylines with many twists and turns, give Chaos a try.

 

 
5 out of 5 stars
Chaos is the third book in the Tattoos and Ties series by the amazing duo that makes up Kindle Alexander. You can read each book as standalone but I highly recommend reading the series. It’s full of mayhem, love, and sexy times.
Dev “Devilman” Fox was going on about his life, one full of stress, tattoos, a crazy ex-wife and two beautiful girls. It is not an easy life but one he has been living for a decade. A decade of being a member of the Disciples, a motorcycle club ran by his asshole father. He was tired. He was done but there was no way of getting out without being killed. What he did do was keep his girls away from the chaos. What he didn’t expect was to be meeting him. Cash. A new tenant who wore a suit and drove a fancy car. He didn’t belong but there was no way he was turning the sinfully sexy man away…
Cash knew the man was hot from the intel but damn, the man was fire. He thought he could handle being around him, the man who saved his life two decades ago but it was going to be harder than he thought.  He had a job to do and getting close to the devil was the main piece to bring down the club. What he didn’t expect was to fall…
I can’t get into the whole story without spoilers but I will say… this story is full of heat, craziness, friendship, family, and love. I can’t wait for Justice!!

He opened to see the man of his dreams studying his face. Cash lifted a hand to the back of Dev’s head, forcing him down for a blistering, soul-wrenching kiss.

The only feeling that mattered was Dev’s cock moving against his as the biker adjusted the hand at his ass to stroke both their cocks in unison. Cash’s tongue followed the quick rhythm Dev created. He could kiss this man forever.

Oh yeah, he was absolutely going to come. Instinctively, Dev seemed to know and tore from the hold, staying inches from his face as he said, “Hold out as long as you can. Hear me?”

Dev didn’t wait for an answer and pushed back on his heels before letting go of a scorching round of curse words, drawing Cash’s attention from the certain orgasm to see Dev rolling away from him.

“I’ll be back, goddammit.” Dev crawled off the bed, the awful words continuing as he struggled to move with the jeans halfway down his legs.

A deep physical need bound him to Dev.

Devin Fox.

Devilman.

His foxy devil.

The man made him feel something substantial for the first time in a very long time.

His outlaw biker.

He couldn’t tear his gaze away from Dev who fought with his boots and jeans. What a spectacular backside. The art was insane, but that ass kept Cash’s eyes locked right there.

“Fuckin’ condoms. Who’s stupid fuckin’ idea was that?” Dev hopped on one foot, tearing off his last boot.

Cash had to dodge the flying footwear tossed over Dev’s shoulder.

Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life – I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations – regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal… I don’t want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I’m going to tell you about Kindle
I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I’ll never forget that moment.

I got to be there when my little girl died – weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn’t have to be alone.
That time in my life was terrible. It’s everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.
Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness – it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.
Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn’t a time she wasn’t there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It’s its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn’t be here today without her.

New Release & Review – Prince of Lies, Lucy Lennox

February 14, 2023 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By

Rowe Prince is a lying liar who windmills into my life in full color, claiming to be Sterling Chase, a quirky, eccentric billionaire… and founder of the company I created.

Two can play at the lying game, though, and I’m not about to let some burrito-delivering, floppy-haired virgin from Indiana best me at a game I was born to play.

So I do him one better and pretend to be Sterling Chase’s new assistant. I’ll teach him a lesson that will hopefully wind us both up in bed… with nothing but the truth between us.

But it turns out his shameless lies are enchanting… unintentionally hilarious… and make it all too easy to forget the truth…

Until I learn that this cutie’s intent is to defraud the company I’ve spent years building. I have to choose: risk the company or say goodbye to the man I’m falling for. A guy who just might be…

The Prince of Lies

Kara's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Prince of Lies is the newest laugh out loud, sexy, fun romance from Lucy Lennox. I love Lucy and her books and I was so excited to hear she had something new for us. Rowe Prince has one last chance to find someone to believe in something he spent the last few years creating. He doesn’t realize borrowing a suit and getting into a gala is going to turn into a gigantic lie fest. He’s not a good liar! He accidentally runs into Bash, a man who instantly knows he’s lying because he’s pretending to be someone who doesn’t actually exist, Sterling Chase. Bash’s company, not a person. But Rowe is too sexy, handsome and fun that he goes along with it. Better yet, he pretends to be the new assistant to “Sterling Chase.” Let the fun and games begin! While they are both lying about who they are, they are having the best times of their lives. Bash is laughing and enjoying life again, Rowe feels sexy and wanted and reveals so many truths about himself. Their chemistry is crazy hot and they end up in a hotel together. Life interrupts their bubble, but Bash isn’t going to let Rowe get away. He has to find a way to keep him and convince him to take a chance on him. Rowe doesn’t care about money, he just wants to help people and his idea will. He won’t take advantage of Bash. He’s a good guy from a small town and just wants to do the right thing. Bash seems to want him and he can’t understand why. He doesn’t think he’s special. But he’s so wrong! Oh man! These two were freaking hilarious and sweet and sexy and endearing and nuts! I laughed so much and my face hurt from smiling. I fell in love with Bash and Rowe and didn’t want their story to end. I’m hoping we see a lot more of them since Bash has a brotherhood of friends who don’t seem to go together, but they do! And let’s not forget Joey, Rowe’s cousin. He’s freaking hilarious and loyal! I pretty much loved everything about this book. The lies, the truths, the connection, the laughs, the sexiness, the friends. I didn’t expect to shed a few tears, but I did and it was awesome! Thank you, Lucy!
