Monster Match (Sanity Falls #1) by Isabel Jordan

 

 

Blurb:

She met a hot reanimated dead guy at a monster speed dating event. Then things really got weird…

Lucy West wasn’t looking for a husband at the Monster Match. She was just there to admire some gothic architecture and score a free meal.

Then she met him.

Viktor Adamovic defied science. Literally. He was a monster who’d been stitched together from multiple, um, donors and resurrected centuries ago. Lucy liked him immediately. But the protective, possessive beast he kept leashed beneath his polished exterior? She wanted that guy in a big way.

Then the weirdness really hit the fan when he proposed a marriage of convenience. To her!

It seemed like the perfect solution to her problems and his. And in a fairy tale, that would’ve been their happy ending.

Too bad this wasn’t that kind of story.

Because when the ghosts of Viktor’s past come calling, Lucy realizes she’s no princess—and if she wants her happily ever after with the monster of her dreams, she’s going to have to fight for it…and him…

 My review:

Monster Match is a fun Beauty and the Beast/Frankenstein’s Monster take off that will have you laughing and leave you with a smile. Quirky side characters and a great story.

Titus (Nightfall Daddies 2) by Pepper North, Robin North

 

 

Blurb:

Yield to the allure of Nightfall, the city’s shadowy gathering spot for the chosen.

Dare to receive a glowing white or blood moon stamp that reappears mysteriously to grant entry to the hottest club in town. Warning: The owners are ruthless as they hunt for their mates. And they're hungry.

Tasked with pinpointing the weaknesses of Nightfall and the nightclub’s employees, Alessia Costa would rather be anywhere else than the mission her vengeful brother has required of her. As his deposable sister, Alessia’s wellbeing depends on gathering the right information. She doesn’t understand the dynamic bartender’s appeal but finds him irresistible.

A charismatic entertainer, Titus has always enjoyed an appreciative audience. Every evening at Nightfall, women flock to his section at the bar. Behind the charm of his smile and the skill of his drink concoctions, a dark side lurks. He will shield his mate from harm with every fiber of his strength. No one will threaten his Little and survive.

Warning: The Nightfall Daddies are possessive, primal, and do not shy from violence. Step into their club with caution. The faint of heart may find their world disturbing.

 

My review:

Love it! Titus is a showman. Tons of irrepressible fun and no woman can slow him down till he finds his mate. She’s as smitten with him as he is with her. But of course there are impediments to their happiness. I loved watching them fall for each other all while taking out the bad guys. A fun addition to the series bring on Darius.

Mending Mallory (Rawhide Ranch) by Cooper McKenzie

 

 

Blurb:

Rawhide doesn’t always give you what you want. Sometimes… it gives you exactly what you need.

Determined to fulfill a deathbed promise to live her life to the fullest, Mallory Blackstone comes to Rawhide with very specific ideas for what she wants.

And Fletcher Thomas is not at all what she wants.
Or so she thinks.

But when she finds herself all tied up in the gorgeous younger man’s ropes, her mind quiets for the first time in… well, forever. Every doubt, every worry, every heartbreak fades away, and the longer she’s under Fletcher’s control, the more she craves his dominance.

The more she craves… him.

And while Fletcher may not be everything she thought she wanted, he might be the only man who can give her everything she needs.

 

My review:

Mallory isn’t a “little” but she goes to Rawhide to heal from losing her mother and ditching an abusive boyfriend. She’s just turned fifty but she’s not dead yet and has a lot to learn about herself.  Fletcher comes to Rawhide looking for a rope bunny but finds so much more in Mallory. I love that she’s older yet inexperienced. Fletcher and Mallory made me smile.

Lycrus (Brigade Trucking Book Two) by TK Lawyer

 

 

Blurb:

Was the one meant for him, already in his life?

Lycrus enjoyed the company of women,
Enough to gain a solid reputation as a player and a rake.
It was a badge of honor he deemed unnecessary and unfair.
He wasn’t a player-
He just hadn’t found the right one yet.

Beautiful, smart and sassy,
Chloe was his best friend.
A self-made, independent woman with a cat named Voodoo,
Chloe was also his stepsister.
A romantic rendezvous of any sort with her?

Unthinkable and off limits.

Yet, Lycrus chases off all Chloe’s dates.
None of them are good enough for her.
But something must be done.

Will Chloe and Lycrus realize they may be the key to each other’s happiness?
Or will they keep their forbidden feelings hidden, forever?

 

My review:

I had so looked forward to this book. I love the premise. Morally gray paranormal truckers finding love. I really enjoyed the first installment so was excited for this tale. But then I tried to pronounce the title characters name. I love that he’s a minotaur shifter, Not a whole lot of trucking in this one but theres a whole lot of love.

You Can Tell Me (Olivia Cruz Book 1) by Melinda Leigh

 

Blurb:

Crime writer Olivia Cruz is drawn into the dark secrets of a missing friend in a terrifying novel of suspense by #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh.

On the three-year anniversary of true crime writer Olivia Cruz’s horrific kidnapping, she’s scheduled to walk her podcaster friend Zoe March through the crime scene, but Zoe fails to show. Olivia knows Zoe would never stand her up—not today.

Zoe’s husband, who claims she never came home the night before, has reported her missing. But marital conflicts make the police suspect she has left him. Olivia thinks otherwise. The police aren’t looking for Zoe, so Olivia begins her own investigation. Retracing her friend’s last steps, she finds Zoe’s phone and a text with one chilling word: Run.

It soon becomes apparent that Zoe has been keeping secrets, and with her true crime podcast, there’s no telling what she has unearthed. To find her, Olivia must dig into her friend’s past. Did Zoe vanish to escape a killer, and is Olivia walking into a deadly trap?

 

My review:

An exciting new heroine. Olivia is smart, giving and driven. This story is a tale of several mysteries in one. Fast paced with a Gordian knot of clues and red herrings. A wonderful new character I am looking forward to reading more about.

Burned (Dillon Security, #1) by Melissa Schroeder

 

 

Blurb:

She’s been saving his life for years.
He still doesn’t trust her.

Ian Smith left espionage behind for control. At Dillon Security, the rules are simple: protect the client, get paid, don’t get involved. Then there’s Samantha Charles—the woman who’s been interfering in his missions for years, always watching, always stepping in when things go sideways. He doesn’t know who she really is. He just knows she’s trouble—and the last woman he should ever rely on.

Lila Eddington Underwood is used to running. From enemies. From her past. From the bodies left behind when people get too close. But one mistake puts a target on her back—and this time, there’s nowhere left to run.

When her past finally catches up with her, Ian takes control. He refuses to let her out of his sight. Keeping her close is the only way to keep her alive—even if it means trusting a woman who’s spent years lying to him.

As the body count rises and the threat closes in, the line between enemies and something far more dangerous begins to blur. Wanting him could get him killed. Letting her go isn’t an option.

And this time… there may be no way out.

 

My review:

WOW! In this spin-off from the TFH series we finally get to know the mysterious “Sam” who has been aiding them and protecting Ian from afar. Now it’s Ians turn to protect her.  This is a breakneck tail of mystery, intrigue and love. Can’t wait for more in this series.

Lime and Punishment (A Nora Black Midlife Psychic Mystery Book 11) by Renee George

 

Blurb:

When Nora is tasked with judging a pie-baking contest, one of the contestants is left pucker-faced when she dies under mysterious circumstances.
*****
My name is Nora Black, and at fifty-seven, I’ve learned that life—like key lime pie—is equal parts sweet and tart. Business is booming, my best friends are living their best lives, and I am in a great place in my own relationship. In other words, I’ve never been happier.

Things are finally settling down after that whole murder-on-the-high-seas business, and I haven’t been asked to help on a single police investigation for over a year...that is, until I agree to judge the brand-new annual Key Lime Pie Baking Contest.

Big mistake. Huge. When a contestant ends up more than just pucker-faced by keeling over after the contest ends, my no-murder streak curdles fast.

Is it an accident? A prank gone horribly wrong? Or did someone stir up a recipe for fresh-squeezed murder?

My psychic nose is whipping up memories that are equal parts sweet, sour, and deadly, and I’ll have to sniff out a killer before someone else gets served up cold.

 

My review:

Nora Black has a nose for trouble. In this episode she gets suckered into being a judge for a key lime pie contest, finds a dead body and sniffs out the murderer. This series is filled with small town charm, quirky characters and  loads of fun.

Archangel's Eternity (Guild Hunter #18) by Nalini Singh

 

 

Blurb:

Elena and Raphael return for the hauntingly poignant conclusion to New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh’s genre-defining Guild Hunter series.

A thousand years.

It’s been a millennium since Elena’s fateful first meeting with Archangel Raphael. She has survived war and loss, experienced beauty and cruelty. But no matter what, she has always held on to her mortal heart, as she and Raphael have held on to each other. Passionate and vibrant, they’ve built a life that has stood the test of time, growing ever stronger with each turn of the sun.

But change is coming—of a magnitude they could have never imagined—and it will forever alter the trajectory of their existence.

Even as they grapple with the cataclysmic shift in their personal lives, the Cadre of Ten, which has maintained a hard-won peace for centuries, begins to simmer with dangerous fault lines. The specter of madness looms in one archangel, the promise of war burns between two others, and in darkness far from mortal and immortal eyes stirs an ancient, slumbering power.

Suddenly, the future is terrifyingly uncertain . . . at the very moment that Elena and her archangel need to protect a treasure infinitely more precious than eternity.

 

My review:

This one is for the fans. If you haven’t read the series go back and do that first before reading this fantastic finale.

This story allows us to say farewell to all the beloved characters we’ve met throughout the series. I don’t like goodbyes but this story gives us a way to see the characters off into a future we can play with in our minds knowing they’re out there living and loving. I will miss them.

Untamed Flame: Claimed by Ice (Aurora Immortalis #3) by Candace Blevins

 

Blurb:

The real tests come when darkness lifts and daylight shines on what they’ve made.

The silo was a temporary playground. Three months of masked balls, feeding frenzies, and nights that bled into one another before the sun’s return ended Mordnik’s endless dark, and real life demanded its due.

But when the season is over, can the magic of what they’ve built survive outside Mordnik’s compressed intensity? Can a relationship forged in crisis endure the harsh daylight of separate schedules and real-world responsibilities?

And if Emmy’s genetic breakthroughs prove viable, what if her dream job is a thousand miles from her men?

The telepathic bond connects their minds, love connects their hearts, but the blood bond would connect their very souls. Does she dare vow to a permanent commitment that will bind her to both men for centuries when she has no idea what the future holds? Does Emmy choose to play it safe, or will she risk everything for a love that defies every rule she’s ever known?

Emmy has always burned bright and fast, leaving wreckage in her wake. Now she’s learning that some flames don’t destroy: they forge steel, illuminate darkness, and light the way through endless night.

She’s building a life she never imagined possible, but for someone who’s spent her whole life running from commitment, forever may be the most dangerous leap of all.


Claimed by Ice completes The Untamed Flame Trilogy with a guaranteed HEA, a page-turning MMF paranormal romance perfect for readers who crave blood bonds and permanent commitments, co-dominant heroes who respect their fierce heroine, thesis defenses and career triumphs, real-world challenges testing supernatural bonds, family reconciliation, service submission with omega wolves, soul-deep connections, living together with found family, and scorching open-door romantacy that delivers emotional intimacy alongside the heat. A binge-worthy completion to Emmy’s journey from chaos to forever.

 

My review:

In this fantastic conclusion  Emmy, Spence and Zander take their love from the seclusion of the Mordnik to the real world and real life problems. Watching Emmy grow throughout this trilogy made it all worthwhile. Definitely a feel good ending.

Deadly Reckoning: Central Florida Stories by Victoria Saccenti

 Deadly Reckoning: Central Florida Stories by Victoria Saccenti

 

Blurb:

Is she a snake in the grass, or an innocent victim?

Pete Brummer excels at his Club Nexus security job, where he’s worked since his friends Kurt and Ethan opened its dungeons. But his personal life is taking a dive. His sometime-sub has moved on. His nights are disrupted by intense nightmares of his best friend’s suicide ten years ago.

Neck-deep in logistics for accommodating a VIP guest—an import/export “businessman” with a suspiciously scrubbed history—he’s shocked to recognize two faces: Gio Accardi, rising crime lord, and the hot number in his entourage, Darcy effing Thomas. Back in high school, when he’d assumed his Dominance was too much for her sweet innocence, she answered his rejection with a string of poor choices that cost more than one life—then she vanished.

Darcy’s hiding a cache of proof against Accardi and needs Pete’s help. Despite the danger, he can’t resist the perfect opportunity to avenge his friend’s death. As he takes her on an extreme sensory journey, he suspects she’s trying too hard to pretend she isn’t enjoying his demands and humiliations. And that maybe she’s not the conniving snake he thought she was, but a woman who’s paid far more than she deserved for the past.

Adults only: Deadly Reckoning is a standalone dark romance, the final book in the Central Florida Stories/Club Nexus universe. TW Visit the author's website for full details.

 

My review:

Deadly Reckoning is a steamy second chance romp that will have you screaming at the walls and turning on the fan. Trust issues and miscommunication, and history are only the surface problems with Pete and Darcy but the chemistry between the two is incendiary and forces them to slow down and find the truth.

A Cute Little Murder by Molly Harper

 

 

Blurb:

She used to be the sidekick. Now she might be the only one who can survive.

As teens, Harlow Drake and Lainey Piper built an online fandom solving small-town crimes. Harlow was the star, Lainey the behind-the-scenes genius (and often, Harlow’s scapegoat). Years later, Harlow’s hosting a hit true crime tv show. Lainey? She’s working in forensics. Well, forensic accounting . . . from home. In pajamas. With her cat.

But when Harlow faces significant backlash over fumbling a case, she needs a quick win—like a special investigation into the decades-old disappearance of a starlet from a once-glamorous, now decrepit island hotel. The catch? It’s bankrolled by Deke and Bryce of DBag Games, who are looking to shed their “frat bro” reputations. As long-time fans, they have one requirement for their funding: Lainey has to play the sidekick again.

Lainey is wary, but the offer is a lifeline in a sea of unpaid student loans. After reaching the Crossings Hotel, she realizes she’s not content to be Harlow’s helper anymore. As the cold case heats up, a crew member falls over dead, presenting Harlow and Lainey with a more modern mystery: what secrets does this hotel hide within its walls?

With sabotage, hidden staircases, and a killer in their midst, Lainey steps into the spotlight and takes charge of the investigation. It’s up to her to crack the case—as long as she can stay alive.

Blurb:

When Kiera West needs a place to hide from the media and her ex, she never thought Bodhi Ashford—the man the small town of Ashford Creek once thought a murderer—would be her salvation.

The reclusive, bearded, mountain man has secrets of his own and with one growl, she knew she’d be safe. Sure, he might only talk to her to ask who hurt her, but at least the quiet will let her heal.

When the elusive drummer from one of the biggest rock bands in the world shows up on Bodhi’s doorstep, he needs her to leave yesterday. As soon as he sees the bruises, he knows she needs to stay.

A fire took everything from him once, and the town he thought he could trust turned on him before he could grieve. Falling for a woman in the spotlight is the last thing he needs.

Yet it might be the one thing that could save them both when the darkness of their pasts finally catches up with them.

**Crossroads is a rock star, widower, second chance, small town contemporary suspense in the Ashford Creek series featuring Bodhi and Kiera. Each one can be listened to as a complete standalone. A HEA is guaranteed!**

This is a sweet and steamy addition to the series.

Axel (Devils' Spawn Daddies #5) by Victoria Saccenti

 

 

Blurb:

He’s done the math. But math is no match for desire…

The Devils’ Spawn made Axel tough. Love? Love left him hard. Closed off to anything but one-night stands. Until one look at Opal shifts his comfort zone sideways. She’s sweet and sassy, the adorable Middle of his dreams. She’s also too damned young. Axel’s done the math. He’s old enough to be her father, for chrissakes.

Throwing himself into work with The Johnson Agency—the investigative arm of the Devils' Spawn—is the only solution. He almost succeeds in keeping Opal and her longing eyes off his radar. But a string of campus disappearances and a dangerous stalker forces Axel to make the choice to sweep her away to safety.

Alone in Axel’s secluded cabin, Opal reveals the one truth that shatters Axel’s defenses. She needs a Daddy Dominant, and Axel is the only one she’s ever wanted. But Opal’s stalker is tracking her down, and Axel will risk anything to keep her out of harm’s way. Even his own life.

In the silo’s hierarchical, decadent world of masked balls and feeding frenzies, Emmy hears her mother’s advice, given consistently since toddlerhood: Never lower your shields. Not for anyone. Especially not around vampires.

Love demands trust. Trust requires a leap of faith. And Emmy’s never been good at either.

Can she open the door? Or will winter’s grip keep her frozen, locked behind walls that protect her but leave her desperately alone?

Winter’s Grip continues The Untamed Flame Trilogy, a scorching paranormal romance featuring a dragon shifter scientist, a powerful vampire, and a submissive omega werewolf forming an unconventional triangle in Alaska’s darkest season. Perfect for readers who crave MMF romantasy with co-dominant dynamics, masked balls and decadent feeding frenzies, power exchange with mutual respect and emotional depth, found family, thesis breakthroughs, the terrifying beauty of learning to trust, reverse harem vibes, and open-door spicy scenes with bisexual characters. Cliffhanger ending, but a guaranteed HEA in book three, available April 30, 2026

I had a plan: finish college, escape my suffocating parents, and never look back. But everything changed the day I went for a jog and lost four hours of my life. Now the tiniest annoyances send me into rages, certain scents drive me wild, and I’m craving my steaks practically raw.

Then Jesse van der Meer shows up like he was sent by the universe to explain everything. He pulls back the curtain on a hidden world and teaches me how to live inside a body that doesn't feel like mine anymore. Somewhere between the secrets he shares and the heat that builds between us, I stop being afraid of what I'm becoming.

I should have paid more attention to why he came looking for me in the first place.

Just when I start to feel comfortable in my new skin, I discover that it’s not just Jesse’s world that has secrets. The man I’ve fallen for has been hiding a few of his own. As something dangerous closes in on us both, I'm left wondering which is more reckless: trusting him with my life, or trusting him with my heart.

Knowing what I know now, I'm not sure I have a choice either way.

When Nora brings a fluffy white rabbit into her kindergarten classroom, she expects squeals, giggles, and maybe a science lesson about spring.

What she doesn’t expect is for the rabbit to bite her.
Or to shift into a six-foot-five, battle-wounded man with the face of a fallen god.
What she really doesn’t expect…
…is for him to be naked.

He claims he’s a prince.
He claims he’s being hunted.
He claims there’s an enchanted sword powerful enough to save his kingdom — and he needs her help to find it.

She thinks he’s insane.
He knows she’s his.

Bonded.
Fated.
Mates.

Sorren is not from her world.
He’s older. Wilder.
Royal. And on the run.

This Easter, the hunt begins.

Not for eggs.

For a throne.
For survival.
For her.

Because once a prince claims his mate…
He doesn’t let her go.

Bad Bunny is a steamy page-turning, heart-pounding, swoony bunny shifter fantasy featuring a possessive prince, fated mates, forced proximity, enchanted weapons, ancient magic, and a heroine who refuses to bow to destiny.
Perfect for readers who love paranormal romance, fantasy shifters, protective alpha heroes, and high-stakes romantic adventure.

The Dragon King’s oldest daughter is a certified genius. Emmy left for an Ivy League college at fourteen and published groundbreaking research at sixteen, but she wasn’t happy with the tedium of being the smartest person in the room.

To cure her terminal boredom, she’s burned through her trust fund allotments, borrowed a ridiculously expensive supercar, and slept her way through most of the planet’s top colleges — and been kicked out of every single one because she enjoys playing with the boytoys a little too… publicly.

Her parents are done with her costly whims, and they’ve exiled her to frozen Alaska and cut off her trust fund payments. She’s enrolled in a run-of-the-mill college and bound by a contract that threatens truly dire consequences for breaking the rules.

Emmy is prepared to hate every icy second of it, but she’s completely unprepared for the vampire tasked with keeping her in line. Cold, disciplined, and immortally powerful, he’s the one man she can’t seduce, can’t stop wanting, and can never have. Like her, he’s an apex predator who will never submit.

In a sunless, decadent playground where vampires reign and submission is currency, Emmy learns that fire doesn’t just destroy; it also forges. Caught between a lethal ancient poison and two men who refuse to let her go, can she survive the flames and the ice intact?

 

My review:

Emmy may be a genius but she still wants to experience life and have some fun. Well she’s had her fun and now the folks have shut her down and banished her to Alaska where she’ll have rules and consequences and no trust fund to fall back on.

In addition to helping his mom maintain Lobster Cove, the family’s beloved property, the Navy cook has big dreams of opening his own restaurant…but, for now, has reluctantly settled for a lobster shack. Not exactly what he had in mind, though a new lobsterwoman in town has made his daily trips to the docks worthwhile.

Having been literally bullied out of her last port city a little farther down the coast, Marit Phillips isn’t in Rockville long before the familiar grumblings begin…hardened lobstermen thinking a petite woman can’t possibly do the job, no matter how experienced. Fortunately, her new boss judges her based on work ethic…and the handsome cook who visits their boat every day? He seems to see things in Marit that even she doesn’t.

But as much as Zach builds her up, there’s another man in town, his polar opposite, trying to tear her down. And he proves more determined than the couple thought possible…

 

My review:

I LOVED THIS STORY! I fell for Marit Phillips alongside Zach. Marit is a petite woman in a non-traditional field. She’s smart, tough and independent. Zach is living the dream. He’s bringing his take on the local staple of lobster to the masses and they’re loving it. When he and Marit meet it’s magic. The tingle is there from the start and only gets stronger. A fantastic addition to the series.

One Quick Obsession (The Cage Family Book 4) by Carrie Ann Ryan

 

 

Blurb:

“Who Hurt You?”

When Hudson Cage asked those words, I shut him out just as I did the rest of those who cared for me. It’s been a year since I made one of the worst choices of my life but now I am stronger and following the path I’ve carved myself.

As manager of the Cage Resort, I want to bring the company into a new era and show the larger than life family that I worth so much more than what my father and ex said I was.

Only to do that, I have to deal with Hudson. The man I can’t get off my mind.

And my neighbor in this small town of ours.

We fight more than we speak to one another, and his over protectiveness is starting to become far too attractive. He holds secrets within those stormy eyes and the part of me that knows it’s a mistake wants to dive deep and know more.

When one lack of control turns to another, there’s no turning back from what we could have. Yet the darkness on each of our paths are closing in.

I don’t want to love Hudson Cage, but if we don’t give in and learn to trust, we both could risk losing it all before we even have a chance.

 

My review:

Hudson is a grumpy bearded artist who likes his privacy. Scarlett is a type A driven manager of a resort. All they do is snipe at each other. When they stop fighting and start to listen to each other the conflagration is intense. These two are downright combustible. Who says opposites don’t attract?

Garters, Ghosts and Wedding Toasts (Southern Ghost Hunter Mysteries #15) by Angie Fox

 

Garters, Ghosts and Wedding Toasts (Southern Ghost Hunter Mysteries #15) by Angie Fox

 

Blurb:

Ghost hunter Verity Long has forty-eight hours to plan her sister's dream wedding on a budget that wouldn't even cover the cake. The venue? A stunning Irish manor in Jackson, Tennessee—enemy territory for any self-respecting citizen of Sugarland. But the place is perfect, the photos are free, and Melody is over the moon.

There's just one tiny catch. Two dead grooms, fifty years apart. And Alec's timing? It couldn't be worse.

Between her ghostly gangster sidekick Frankie bent on stealing the Irish Crown Jewels, a deadly secret hidden under the wedding chapel, and her sweet skunk Lucy finding romance with a boy skunk from the wrong side of the tracks, Verity's got her hands full. And when someone close to her is murdered, she's running out of time.

Can Verity protect the people she loves and give her sister the wedding of her dreams? Or will she lose everything before Melody can say "I do"?

 

My review:

Garters, Ghosts and Wedding Toasts is a fun filled, multifaceted mystery that will keep you laughing and guessing. Who knew murder could be so much fun? Wedding shenanigans and a mystery or several.
