Wild North by JB Salsbury Book Review!

I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of this beauty (in exchange for an honest review) and I am so freaking excited I was! 

I just finished Wild North and I can’t stop smiling! This book was everything I hoped it would be. It was addicting, intriguing, steamy, angsty and overall just so freaking good.

I LOVED the heroine in this story, Jordan. She was dealt some crappy cards as a child, but it hasn’t stopped her from striving for better in her adult life and always looking for the best, in a partner and in general, goals for herself. She is strong, independent and fierce. She belongs to no one but gives herself to those she cares about freely. She sees the good in people and people can’t help but to end up falling in love with her (looking at you, Hayes).

Speaking of strong, independent and fierce... let’s talk about Alexander, aka Grizzly. Alexander has gone through even more traumatic times in his past than Jordan. It’s amazing that he’s become the man that he has, but all he’s experienced has contributed to that. Alexander is one of the toughest, gruffest, roughest male characters I’ve read in a while. It took a long time for Jordan to even begin to start chiseling away at his icy exterior. What’s under that ice, though? Especially where Jordan is involved? So much good, even though he can’t see it himself. There are plenty of times in this book where you want to smack him for things he’s said or done, but there are also times that he makes you swoon more than you thought possible!

I don’t want to go into the details of this book because I want this to stay a spoiler free review. What I’ll finish up with is this...this story is about tragedy, near death experiences, care, compassion, a fight for what you want and overcoming the odds. There are mountains and cabins and big cities and high rises. There are family members you want to strangle and others you think are kinda cute. There are friends who aren’t friends and don’t deserve to even be mentioned. And there are two main characters you’re going to fall into...something more with. I hope you’ll take the chance on this book, it is so worth it!!

Tangled Games by T.K. Leigh Cover Reveal!

 

Title: Tangled Games

Series: Dating Games #5

Author: T.K. Leigh

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Cover Design: Tracy Kellam

Release Date: May 25, 2021

BLURB

Sometimes you have to sacrifice your Queen to protect the King…

When I met Anderson North, I fell in love with the man, not the title. With his heart, not the crown.

But as I step foot in the Nation of Belmont for the first time as the Crown Prince’s fiancée, I’m reminded of exactly who he is outside of the bubble we built around ourselves.

I’m reminded of exactly who I’ll need to become if I’m to survive this tangled web of antiquated rules, constant media attention, and negative publicity from a country that hates the idea of an American marrying their future king.

This may be a life of privilege and excess, but I soon learn that with notoriety comes jealousy.

With fame comes enemies.

With a crown comes a gilded cage.

I’ve waited years to finally find my happily ever after.

I didn’t realize it would come at a price.

End of Day by Jewel E. Ann Review!

 "I loved her which is why the word suddenly feels monumentally inadequate for you. I gave her my love, but you... you took it. You took everything. I never had a choice. You tore into my life... into my heart, wrecking all sense of the man I was before you. Being with you is the best part of my day... every day. You think you're broken, but you're not. And if you were... it wouldn't matter. I love every. Single. Piece of you." - Jewel E. Ann, End of Day

Can we just stop and swoon at two things? This GORGEOUS cover of a book. I love it so much for some reason. And...the quote at the top of this review. I mean, come on! Who wouldn't love a dreamboat who said that to them?!?!

Anyway, I digress! Let's talk a little about this book! 

What an interesting read! I don’t have a ton to say about it because I feel like I’m still processing what I read. There is so much subject matter in this book. 

There’s a lot to think about and consider, like: Jessica Day and the trauma she went through, who she has become and how, the relationship she has with Luke, the closeness of her relationship with her twin brother, Jackson and Jillian and the mess of their new lives in Omaha, the sweet caring of Lillith, the risqué job and attitude of Jillian in the retirement community, oh, and AJ. 

AJ AJ AJ. There is something about AJ that really pulls me in. My heart hurts for him.

 I hate his ex-wife, though in some regards I can’t blame her, especially if safety became a concern. I guess I just feel for the underdog, the wounded warrior. Maybe that’s why I love AJ and Jillian because they both are that in their own regard. 

I’m not going to go into any details about the book because this is just book one of a series and I’m sure I’ll do more detailed thoughts on the series when it’s done, but for now... I’ll say I am definitely intrigued. I am looking forward to reading the next book soon. I have a guess about what’s going on with AJ at the end of this book. I hope I’m wrong about that guess. I hope Jillian doesn’t freak out with whatever he tells her. Something in me really wants the best for all these characters and I hope they get it!

To be continued as I finish this series! 

Happy reading!

Marriages can be fragile, shattered, broken, destroyed...

Holly Gallagher hoped she would find love. That she’d have a happy life, unlike her parents. 

Those hopes are dashed when her family arranges for her to marry. 

She prays that she won’t end up like her mother. Bitter. Twisted. Evil.

That is until she realizes who she’s marrying. A monster.

Romero Bianchi has given his life to the Famiglia. He doesn’t love and he certainly doesn’t do attachments. 

Everything he’s done is for the family. Nothing was going to ever change that.

Until Holly.

She breaks his resolve, piece by piece. She weaves herself deep inside his heart.

He’ll do anything for his wife. Protect her with his dying breath.

But being part of the Mafia isn’t easy. With enemies at every corner it’s hard to know where the threat is coming from.

When Holly’s taken, Romero shows the world what happens when someone takes what’s his.

Now he’s racing against the clock to find her before it’s too late.

Brooke is a Londoner born and raised. She lives with her husband and their daughter. She’s a foul mouthed, dirty minded weirdo. An introvert and would rather spend the night in front of the fire reading, rather than going out and partying.

The Heartbreaker by Claire Contreras Cover Reveal!

They say you never forget your first.

Jagger Cruz, the popular, gorgeous, athletic, heartbreaker, was my introduction to college flings.

Over the years, I've tried to pay no attention to every wicked rumor I heard about him, even though deep down I knew they weren't just rumors. Unable to face the consequences of what we'd done, if we were ever in close quarters, I ran in the other direction. If we were coincidentally put in the same class, I dropped it.

Avoidance was the name of the game and so far I was winning.

That is, until we're assigned the same apartment.

Living with Jagger during my last semester was definitely not in my plans, but I'm determined to make it work. As long as I don't look at him for too long or let his innuendos get under my skin, I should be fine, right? I have to be.

They say hooking up with your roommate can be messy, and losing my heart to Jagger would be disastrous.
