Condemned to Love - Siobhan Davis

 



Condemned to Love, an all-new stand-alone dark mafia romance from USA Today bestselling author Siobhan Davis, is available now!

 


Her teen crush is now a ruthless killer and powerful mafia heir.

Will one life-altering night unite or destroy them?

 

 

Bennett Mazzone grew up ignorant of the truth: he is the illegitimate son of the most powerful mafia boss in New York. Until it suited his father to drag him into a world where power, wealth, violence, and cruelty are the only currency.

Celebrating her twenty-first birthday in Sin City should be fun for Sierra Lawson, but events take a deadly turn when she ends up in a private club, surrounded by dangerous men who always get what they want.

And they want her.

Ben can’t believe his ex’s little sister is all grown up, stunningly beautiful, and close to being devoured by some of the most ruthless men he has ever known. The Vegas trip is about strengthening ties, but he won’t allow his associates to ruin her perfection. Although it comes at a high price, saving Sierra is his only choice.

The memory of Ben’s hands on her body is seared into Sierra’s flesh for eternity. She doesn’t regret that night. Not even when she discovers the guy she was crushing on as a teenager is a cold, calculating killer with dark impulses and lethal enemies who want him dead.

Understanding the risks, she walks away from the only man she will ever love, stowing her secrets securely in her heart. Until the truth becomes leverage and Sierra is drawn into a bloody war—a pawn in a vicious game she doesn’t want to play.

As the web of deceit is finally revealed, Ben will stop at nothing to protect Sierra. Even if loving her makes him weak. In a world where women serve a sole purpose, and alliances mean the difference between life and death, can he fight for love and win?

So many mafia romances don’t live up to my expectations, but Condemned to Love is not only an epic love story, but completely captivating and incredibly well written.  It’s dark and gritty, it’s also sexy and sweet, and packed full of action, intrigue, suspense, and betrayal.

Bennett and Sierra are an incredibly complex hero and heroine.  Bennett Mazzone is a dark, dominant and possessive hero, but he’s also protective, charming and sexy.  Sierra is an intriguing character and the perfect blend of sassy, strong, and resilient yet vulnerable. 

Their chemistry and connection between this pair is undeniable and incredibly sexy.  Its filled with twists and turns and surprises that kept me completely enthralled and I can’t wait for future additions to Siobhan Davis’ mafia world.

She unknowingly threatens his control. Single mom Tala Baldwin is no stranger to sacrifice. After losing her leg while serving her country, she’s now training to become a competitive biathlete. With her daughter off to college, she’s able to shoot for her dream of making the national masters team. Even her Christmas break in Rifle Creek doesn’t slow her down. She’s asked her trusted friend Braxton to help her train—all while trying to pretend she doesn’t ache for him. Braxton was there for her during the darkest day of her life and he’s been there for her since…but only as a friend. In fact, he seems more determined than ever to hold her at arm’s length—until a deadly blizzard traps them in the mountains with a wanted killer hot on their trail. Now Tala once again finds her life in his hands as they face the lethal threats together. Now he’s at his breaking point. Sgt. Braxton Hillard is a master sniper, renowned for his ability to operate without emotion. Except with Tala. She’s all he’s ever wanted—but can’t have. For four long years he’s kept his distance. She’s way too good for him and she would realize that if he ever made a move. But the attraction between them is too powerful to deny, and once she makes it clear she wants him, he can’t keep his distance any longer. As they fight to survive in the mountains, all bets are off. Braxton is ready to sacrifice everything to protect the woman he loves—even his own life.

Add the book to Goodreads

      


Lethal Protector is the third title in the Rifle Creek series, featuring Tala and Braxton.  Both characters have appeared as cameos in the previous books, and I’ve been particularly eager for Tala’s story since she first appeared in Lethal Edge.

Tala is Tate’s sister and former veteran and amputee survivor.  She’s a strong, resilient, and inspiring single mother who has a positive outlook on life and is training to be a biathlete.

Braxton is a partner in Rifle Creek Tactical, but its from a distance as he is still an active military sniper.  Still waters run deep with this stoic, yet thoughtful hero.

Whilst helping Tala train they encounter not only a blizzard but a killer on the run and must work together to remain alive, ensues is a tale packed full of action, intrigue, suspense, and danger.

I recommend this title to anyone who enjoys a slow burn, friends to lovers romantic suspense.

Bodhi
I’m one of the kings at Almadale Prep.
I’m fun, the class clown, the one who doesn’t do serious.
Until I meet her.
Short blonde hair, expressive brown eyes, and a bottom lip that aches to be kissed.
She becomes my everything.
Until her secret destroys us.
Leaving me reckless and spiraling.
In my world, I can have anything … but the girl I love.

Trixie
I’ve got a secret.
One that I have to keep.
But it’s at the expense of the boy who makes my heart flip in my chest every time he flashes that devastating smirk.
He doesn’t understand.
It’s all to keep him safe.
Threats have been made, so I put on a smile and act like the perfect daughter.
Because if I don’t, I know he’ll get hurt.
In my world, I’m a puppet … whose strings are about to snap.






King of Denial is the third title in the Boys of Almadale and features Bohdi and Trixie. 

In the previous books Bodhi was portrayed as the irreverent player, always ready with a joke and the life of the party, but it’s a veneer to hide his deep vulnerabilities and abandonment issues.   Trixie is not the jezebel she’s been portrayed in the previous books, and there’s definitely more to her story than meets the eye.

Both Trixie and Brodie are strong characters with a love story that is both raw and vulnerable.  They are both willing to do anything to keep the other safe, even if it means sacrificing their own happiness.

I loved reading the history of their relationship that has been alluded to in the previous titles. 

I highly recommend the Boys of Almadale series to anyone who enjoys a title packed full of suspense, drama, intrigue and humor with undeniable chemistry.


Doin' A Dime - Lani Lynn Vale

 



Doin’ a Dime

Souls Chapel Revenants MC Book 4

Lani Lynn Vale

Release Date: May 18, 2021

 


Live-in property & pet caretaker needed. Six-year minimum. Background check required. Generous compensation. Marriage of convenience required.

 

The moment that Wyett Villin read the ad on her local community’s page, she knew that it would be perfect. It didn’t matter how big the house was, what kinds of animals she had to take care of, or what the compensation was. She didn’t give a flip as long as it got her out of her childhood home and away from the person that she despised the most.

 

Only, she had no clue that by accepting the position, she would be agreeing to watch over the mini-mansion and two large dogs of Hunt McJimpsey, computer hacker extraordinaire, sexy nerd, and convicted felon of Souls Chapel, Texas.

 

She’d meant to make her life easier, not complicate it more.

 

***

 

Hunt McJimpsey was careful. He knew exactly what he was doing and practically planned every single step that he took to make sure that he always had his tracks covered.

 

But one single mistake costs him five years of his life, and if he’s going to go down for the crime, he might as well make it spectacular.

 

Three years into his prison sentence, he’s a changed man, and definitely not for the better.

 

He’s harder, angrier, and even more brilliant and conniving than before he went in.

 

He thinks that by keeping up with his dogs’ babysitter, his property caretaker, and reluctant wife, that he’s only doing his due diligence as a responsible person. Only, what starts out as curiosity for his property turns into genuine like for the woman that is caring for what means the most to him.

 

When an opportunity to get out of the hellhole known as prison arises and the only thing he has to do is join a motorcycle club and sign some of his free time away to help those less fortunate, he jumps at the chance.

 

Not only because he’s ready to get the hell out of prison, but because he’s ready to meet the woman that he’s been falling for, one visit a week, for the last three years.

My Almost Ex - Piper Rayne

 




In the middle of a crowded bar in our small Alaskan town, my estranged wife snuggles up to me as if we’re still a happy couple.

 

Don’t get me wrong, we were a happy couple—before she walked out on me a year ago. We were the high school sweethearts everyone thought were destined to be together forever. We thought so too, which is why we married shortly after graduation.

 

We had a good marriage. Until she left me without any real explanation.

 

Now, she’s back—and this is the real kicker—she has amnesia and thinks I’m still her husband. Technically I am, although the divorce papers are sitting at the lawyer’s office.

 

She’s desperate to remember her life in Sunrise Bay but I only want to find out why she left me. Once we conjure that memory up, it’s sayonara because there’s no second chances here. But as you probably already figured out, things didn’t go quite as I planned.

Riggs - Sandy Alvarez & Crystal Daniels



Abel LeBlanc, better known to his brothers as Riggs—President for The Kings of Retribution MC, Louisiana Chapter. As a former Green Beret, he runs the club with the same amount of precision and grit he did serving his country.

Dedicating years of his life to mercenary missions, and to his club left no time or desire to settle down and start a family of his own. What good could come of loving a woman if he could never promise her forever when he willingly puts his life on the line every day.
No one has ever come close to making him want more.
Until Luna.
A call from Jake; President and founder of The Kings of Retribution MC has Riggs and his men on the road toward Montana. Their objective—protect a woman from falling into the hands of another MC.
Little did Riggs know when his eyes fell upon the striking woman with violet eyes, she would alter his life forever.
 
Growing up in the system is hard enough for any kid. For Luna Novak, not being able to hear the world around her made surviving in it the most terrifying and isolating experience of her life.
Though she doesn't have much, Luna feels she has finally gotten to a point in her life where her future doesn’t look so grim. That is until she makes the mistake of putting her trust in the hands of the wrong man—almost costing Luna her life.
For Luna to protect herself and survive, she must leave Arizona behind for a new life in Polson. When her past follows her, threatening the lives of those around her, Luna soon finds herself under the protection of the local MC.
Leaving with Riggs and going back to Louisiana with him becomes her only choice. Her heart tells her Riggs will keep her safe, yet fear screams for her to run.
The pull she feels toward Riggs is stronger than any feeling she has felt before, but can she put her trust and her life in the hands of another man so quickly?

Riggs is the first book in The Kings of Retribution MC, Louisiana Chapter and a spinoff from The Kings of Retribution MC: Montana Chapter featuring Abel and Luna.

Luna found herself in trouble and was aided by the Kings of Retribution MC.  When trouble follows her she is provided protection by Riggs the president of the Louisiana chapter and begins a story of love at first sight.  Luna is strong and resilient, but also quite anxious about the trouble that follows her. 

Abel “Riggs” is a protective former Green Beret who owns his own mercenary company, and has all the skills to keep Luna safe from harm.

Their connection is instantaneous, and their romance is quite steamy, my only issue was that I hadn’t read the previous series and found this title a tad slow to start.

I recommend this title if you enjoy an MC romance with drama, intrigue, suspense and heat.

The Sweet Talker - Gina Azzi




I’ve sworn off hockey players. Until the pregnancy test turns pink.

 
Noah Scotch is revered in Boston, a veritable god on the ice. I’m a nerdy, newly minted college professor who would rather color code my planner than hit the club scene. Noah shouldn’t look at me twice but when he does, I falter.
 
Who can blame me?
 
The sweet talker with the deliciously chiseled abs and sinful chocolate eyes is a force. On and off the ice. One hot and intense night with Noah has me second guessing my lack of a dating life.
 
Friends with benefits? He offers, I dive in headfirst. Growing up in a hockey family, I know better than to get serious with a player. 
 
But the more time I spend getting to know Noah, the more my intention to keep things casual rings false.
 
Now, I’ve got a hopeful heart and a baby on the way.
 
I just need to tell Noah. But when I do, will I end up with everything I never knew I wanted? Or on my own?

Do I tell her? Just lay it all out? Why the hell not? I’ve never been known to mince words before. “I lied to you.”
She rears back like I startled her and I curse myself for being such an idiot. “About what?”
“I don’t want to be just friends, Indiana. I may be crazy presumptuous right now but the other night…” I trail off, gaging her reaction.
“The other night what?” she whispers, her eyes searching mine.
“The other night was better than great. It was… I can’t stop thinking about it. About you, in my bed, and I want you there again.”
 
 

I love a hockey romance and was intrigued when I read the synopsis for The Sweet Talker.  I haven’t previously read any of Gina Azzi’s work and was captivated by Noah and Indy’s story from the very first chapter.

This title is a friends to lovers, opposites attract, surprise pregnancy, sports romance set in the world of the Boston Hawks hockey team.

Indy is an intelligent and studious college professor, who is focused, driven and passionate.   She was raised in the world of hockey as her father is a former professional player, and after previously dating a player she has no compunction to date one again.

Noah is a player for the Boston Hawks hockey team, and the captain of his team is Indy’s older cousin.  Noah is a charming, sweet, charismatic and sexy hockey player who has been burned in the past and is not looking for a committed relationship but when he’s around Indy the spark’s fly.

The Sweet Talker is a thoroughly enjoyable read with a cast of characters I look forward to seeing more of in future additions to the series.  It’s a sweet story with a touch of angst, and strong themes of family, friendship, and hockey.
