Warrior’s captive is an alien story that is a quick read. Ragnar (alien) was a captured warrior and fought as a gladiator. Serena (human) was the ruler’s daughter. 
This story goes from zero to 100 in five seconds. There’s an escape, kidnapping, a race to get away, spankings, and that only a little bit what to expect. You have to read the book to find out how it ends.

Oh my goodness! My heart ached for Nicholas at one moment, and then I swooned over Sylus. Next, I was outraged by Keon’s actions, but I couldn’t help but laugh with glee when Nova got payback. There was a rescue that had me in stitches from laughing.
I thoroughly enjoyed delving deeper into the character histories and witnessing their efforts to become one and a family. They continue their plan to unveil the truth of Oscar’s death, this captivating story will kept me hostage until the last page. 
Thank you Blake Black and Chaotic Creatives for this free ARC and I’m leaving this review voluntarily.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Omega Monster story by my favorite author. It had the perfect balance of mystery, twisted terror, long tongues, talented long tails, and really steamy scenes. You knotted this story right out of the ballpark.

Holy Moly, this one hot and steamy book. The three men, with all that testosterone plus incredibly attractive; how is a woman suppose to resist all of that? The men thought they were in control, but Fox embedded herself right inside of their souls. Through all the hot sex, there are some very twisted secrets going on beneath the surface. One twisted secret really got my heart pumping! It’s a great story that kept me glued to the last page.

Hustler: NOLA Rebels MC is the eleventh installment in the New Orleans Series and is a standalone novel.
The plot in this story is engaging and the chemistry between the two characters was electrifying. However, there was one dark plot twist that kept me on the edge of my seat. The story kept me engrossed until the very end.

Love on Thin Ice, the second installment in The Battle Creek Berzerkers duet, is an absolute delight. The author delves deep into Chase and Blake’s relationship, sharing their innermost thoughts and feelings. I fully understand Ginny’s decision she made in the first book. I thoroughly enjoyed observing how the four of them collaborated and communicated to fortify their bond. 
I was screaming knuckleheads then melting like roasted marshmallows in certain parts and laughing at the plot of using the Zamboni. The story had me captivated til the end.

Sinful Deception, a captivating installment in the A Mayet Justice series, was an exceptional read. This book delves into a close tragic event that deeply affects Minka, Archer and friends. As we continue with the story, we witness a softer side of Minka’s character. The story beautifully showcases how friends unite to support one another, keeping me engrossed until the very end.

Bourbon Bachelor, a charming novella within the Bourbon Canyon series, follows the journey of Tate and Scarlett as they navigate their relationship. Initially cautious due to Scarlett’s past heartbreak and mental abuse by ex-boyfriends, Tate, a father of an eleven-year-old son named Chance, made a promise to spend more quality time with him. Watching the couple work through their feelings and emotions was heartwarming as they built a family together.
