Redemption by Meghan March

Redemption by Meghan March is not a STANDALONE and MUST be read with the rest of the series. You will never understand Lachlan Mount truely until you have read it all. March opened this book up and left me absolutely utterly speechless. I have been coming to terms with this book for over a week before I could come here to review it. Honestly I am still processing. If you have read the Lachlan Mount Sage you know what kind of man he is. To see a whole new side of him is something beyond words. The turns that this book took left me reeling. It is not your typical March book though. I was left looking for more mystery and suspense. Even though Mount needed this book I am still unsure if this is the way I would have envisioned him coming to terms with the events of his life. He needed for us to see this side. I must say though New Orleans will NEVER be the same. I want to say so much more about this book but I don’t want to give you any spoilers. Just know you will never see Mount the same after reading his REDEMPTION! I found this to be a 4 star read

For Never by Aurora Rose Reynolds




Title: For nEver
Author: Aurora Rose Reynolds
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Forbidden
Fake Relationship/Workplace Romance
Release Date: March 14, 2023


BLURB

From New York Times & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Aurora Rose Reynolds comes a brand new romantic comedy about a girl who understands how short life is, and a man who quickly learns there are things way more important than money.

I had no idea that taking a temp job for the summer would send my life into a tailspin, but that’s exactly what happened when I started working for Jace Ellis.
One day I was his secretary and the next I was sitting on his private plane, wearing an obnoxiously large engagement ring, after he asked me if I would pretend to be his fiancé for one week.
I can admit that greed got the best of me. But the money he offered in exchange for my lie would help not only me, but my mom out tremendously.
I just had no idea what I was actually getting myself into.
I didn’t think about the fact that we would be sharing a bed, that we would have to pretend to like each other, and I sure didn’t know that I would be surrounded by his entire family at their annual family reunion.
But if the guy want’s a fiancé, I’m going to be the best one he’ll ever have.
I just hope I can remember that this isn’t forever; it’s for never.

GIVEAWAY

If you love a good rom-com this one is definitely for you. It checks all the boxes. I literally finished in one night. Aurora pulls you in just as she always does and of course leaves you dying for another story. I feel Jace knew what he wanted and when an opportunity presented itself he took it. He definitely wasn’t a wait till it comes to me kinda hero. My first thoughts is Jace is an alpha-hole 😂. Yet tell me one Aurora’s hero’s who aren’t lol. Penny is kind hearted and down to earth. She adores her mother and would literally do anything for her or anyone she genuinely cared for. She comes across as a people pleaser. She sincerely values what those around her think about her. This book has several different tropes to it but it is amazing at the same time. I thoroughly enjoyed Penny and Jace. ▪️Enemies to Lovers ▪️ Boss and Employee ▪️Family competition ▪️ Fake Engagement I was provided an ARC by Give Me Books Promotions in exchange for an honest review.

Exclusive Excerpt:

He wants to talk, well, we’ll talk. Now. Adrenaline pumps in my veins to provide fuel for my goal. Boldly, I press the doorbell on his suite. It takes a few rings before he opens it and whammo! Lachlan stands before me with damp hair, bare feet, and only a towel slung low at his hips. The eight-pack abs and the v-cuts of his Adonis belt on full blast. A feathery happy trail disappears below the towel. It directs my eyes to the outline of a long, thick cock with a mushroom head rests against his thigh, damn near to the middle of it. My pussy spasms, and my ovaries explode. “Haley?” He asks, unsure since I stand dumbstruck before him. I blink and pick my jaw up from the floor. “L—Lachlan,” I squawk, then clear my suddenly parched throat and try again. “Lachlan, you wanted to speak with me.” Now he blinks but recovers quickly. With a slight nod, he opens the door further and steps aside. I return his nod and enter the lion’s domain—I mean Lachlan’s suite. Thankful I don’t collapse on my jellied knees, I make my way to a sofa. Remembering my finishing school pointers on being a lady, I sit gracefully and cross my legs at the ankles. My gaze lifts to Lachlan expectantly. “Er… Give me a second to change,” he says as he runs his thick fingers through his hair, biceps flex. I nod and smooth my dress. Lachlan tracks my movement, then swipes his hand over his face with a low groan before he pivots on his heel. He returns in a black t-shirt that molds to his muscular torso and a pair of gray sweatpants that fail to hide his massive bulge. Unconsciously, I lick my lips as I stare at his crotch. Lachlan coughs. I drag my eyes up to his as I take in his flat stomach and pronounced pecs. Damn, this man is fine. “Are you all right, Haley?” He asks with his head tilted as he observes me. “Absolutely,” I respond. “So, talk to me, Lachlan. I’m all yours.” My sassy demand makes him stifle a chuckle. He nods and sits on the sofa across from me. I purse my lips at his choice of seating. “I won’t bite, you know. Well, unless…” I bait him with a flutter of my eyelashes. Damn, I’m a wild girl! The corner of his mouth quirks up. “I want to speak with you, but perhaps tomorrow would be better.” Lachlan says and moves to the minibar. “Here, drink some water. You’ll feel better.” I gape at him. Oh no, he didn’t. “You know what would make me feel better, Lachlan Jackson?” I query as I swat the bottle of water from his hand. “You! You on my lips, not some bubbly water!” His eyes pop from their sockets like a cartoon character. “You tease me with your heated gazes, then ignore me! Well, I’m tired of waiting for you to make a move, Lachlan! So, here I am. Fuck me!” I shout.

Original Sins by Faith Summers

Original Sins (Dark Odyssey, #6)Original Sins by Faith Summers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Original Sins by Faith Summers is part of the Dark Odyssey series. This book can be read as a standalone because I haven’t read any of the others. I dove into this book just knowing it was a Mafia romance not knowing that it involved two men and one woman. At first I was unsure of how I was going to feel about this book because that isn’t my typical forte of reading. I must say Faith handled these characters very well though. I ended up thoroughly enjoying the book and finishing it in one sitting.

I am still unsure of how I feel about Evie. I get the entitled Princess vibe because she really and truly refuses to do anything for herself. She lets the men in her life absolutely control her every move. If her father says jump she basically says how high. Yes she is completely defying him but not openly. It took me a while to warm up to the way she let them walk on her I guess you could say.

EXCERPT

“What do you think you’re doing?”
I swallow against a dry mouth. “Leo, I should go.”
“The fuck you should. What are you talking about?”
“I know it seems bad.” My words tumble out on top of one another, and once again, I’m the girl with her back against the wall, facing off with the Beast of Bishop’s Landing. Only now I know he can be hurt. He can be wounded. “It is bad. But I have to talk to Aunt Caroline. I have to try and make her see reason.”
Leo stares at me like I’m a stranger. Like he’s never seen me before. Like I didn’t hold him in my arms and beg for him to live. “There’s no talking to that bitch.”
Tears well up in my eyes. Damn it. I wasn’t going to cry, but it’s all so close to the surface. “I know it was Caroline who hurt you. She’s the one who made those scars on your back.” I gulp down a sob and stifle it. Suffocate it. I’m not doing that. I won’t. “You told me yourself that you almost died. And now she tried to kill you again.”
The horror in Leo’s eyes transforms. It sharpens until it could cut me and bursts into flame. He stalks toward me and the hairs on the back of my neck rise. My body stills. There are three options in the face of a deadly predator. Flee. Fight. Freeze. I couldn’t run for the door if I wanted to. I don’t know how I ever did it before.
Leo stops with inches to spare. I’m not afraid of him, I’m not, but I’m trembling under my pink coat. Okay. I am afraid. But not of him. Not only of him. Of the way I feel right now, shaky and lightheaded and on the verge of tears from a love that feels completely out of control.
He waits, and I stand there like a fool, staring at the front of his shirt. There is a bandage underneath. A bullet wound. From putting his own body between me and a gun. A tear slips down my cheek and falls to the carpet. I’m too hot in the coat, too hot standing this close to him. Now that there’s a closed door between us and the rest of the world, I’m torn between bravery and the urge to fall apart and let him catch me.
My own fallen angel takes my chin in his hand and tips my face up, his grip hard and possessive. “Look at me.”
“I am looking at you.”
But I’m not. My eyes are still caught on his shirt—on the fabric concealing where he was shot. Leo gives my chin a terse shake. “Okay,” I whisper, meeting his eyes. Gold-streaked darkness waits for me, clear as the night sky. His gaze is sharp as a shot. Pain glimmers there, hidden behind the fiery beauty of those eyes. It’s not concealed behind a haze of painkillers. My pulse races at the contact. The heat of his fingers on my face is second only to the burn where his eyes meet mine.
“You,” he says, his tone deliberate, “are not going anywhere.”

EXCERPT

The demons that haunted my nightmares were supposed to remain there.
Yet, they had materialized into the real world and stole what was mine. There wasn’t much I feared, but my life had been turned upside down twice in recent weeks.
When Kingston alerted me that there was an incident involving Anais and her father and that his team was rushing in, my heart felt as if it were being strangled. It took precious moments for me to reach Rob and head down to the car because there was no way I would stay at my office waiting for word on what happened to Anais. Every second that passed without word made my mind race, wondering if the moment she walked out of my parents’ home would be the last time I saw her. After I was told that although James had been shot, Anais was fine and they were transporting her to a safe house, I felt as if I could breathe again.
Once it was confirmed that Kingston had Anais and she was safe, I knew that everything was going to be fine. I trusted Kingston with my life, and I knew that he would do everything in his power to make sure that Anais was okay.
The slight tremble of my hand as I pulled at my tie told me my feelings about this were completely different. The item of clothing now felt as if it were restricting my breathing, a change from just before I entered my home. The headache that was starting to form would not deter me from what had now become my only purpose: saving her.
Someone kidnapped her and I would drag whoever did this through the bowels of hell to get her back. This was a war and there wasn’t a chance that I would lose.
I pulled my phone out again and clicked a single button to redial the number that I practically had memorized due to how many times I had seen it in the last hour, but I got the same thing every time: Anais’s voicemail. I called both Kingston’s and Carter’s phones and got the same result. Where the fuck is everyone?
I cussed at myself for not working faster. The extra security measures that were supposed to be in place weren’t due to be installed until Monday. I’m failing her.
