Title: Hate to Crave You

Author: Bella Love-Wins

Release Date:

Feuding families. 

Enemies to lovers. 

Diamonds at every turn. 

Off-the-charts chemistry that neither of them was expecting. 

Roman is a tall, gorgeous, and arrogant tycoon who wants to make a name for himself and step out from under his father's control. He meets his match when he seduces his sultry and curvy rival, Juliana, to get the upper hand on a business deal. 

Their business? All about the D... as in diamonds. 

But Juliana is no fool. She knows the art of the double-cross, and sees Roman's cocky tricks -- and his generous package -- coming at her from a mile away. 

Now, he's about to find out that sometimes, faking it can turn into something real. And when it does, he's the one who won't want to let go. 

An intensely sinful full-length standalone romance. Hate to Crave You is a modern spin on Romeo and Juliet with twists, turns, and a happily ever after ending that'll steal your heart, from Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author, Bella Love-Wins.

I'm a Wall Street Journal (Begging for Bad Boys, April, 2017) and USA Today (Begging for Bad Boys, Alpha for the Holidays, Shifters in the Snow: Bundle of Joy, Shifters in the Shadows) Bestselling Author.

I love reading and writing steamy, high-action romance stories about firefighters, billionaires, and alpha males who know what they want and aren't afraid of laying claim to the women who catch their interest. I love a happy ever after ending. I enjoy reading, hiking, the countryside, and traveling to destinations unspoiled by commercial tourism, like Las Vegas... :)

Like so many characters in my novels, I enjoy action, romance and unexpected love connections that take your breath away. For the next while, you'll find me plotting and writing about my latest stories on my Macbook.

NEW RELEASE REVIEW ~NO REMORSE BY SKYE JORDAN~

Title: No Remorse
Author: Skye Jordan
Series: Manhunters #2
Release Date: July 16, 2018

MY RATING: ★★★★★

Another electric romantic suspense from New York Times bestselling author, Skye Jordan.

Everly Shaw hasn't spent a decade working black ops for one of the most elite government contractors just to play nanny. But she also understands the devastation a broken family can leave behind. So when she learns a four-year-old girl was torn from her home in the dead of the night, she agrees to go undercover. Only once inside the father's Costa Rican fortress, she discovers that the intel doesn't line up with reality. Soon, she's caught between the people she's grown to care about and her team, the only family she's ever known.

Playing single dad while building a company could be the most difficult mission Austin Hix has ever undertaken. He's sacrificed everything to keep his daughter safe, including his career in the US special forces. The new nanny is supposed to bring Austin peace, but she's a distraction all her own. She's everything he wants, but none of what he needs. Just when Austin thinks he could have it all, Everly turns from friend to foe and threatens everything Austin loves. 

All Manhunters can be read as stand-alone novels.

No Remorse is a fan-freaking-tastic book! I loved the first standalone in the Manhunters series, but this one has taken the cake. Austin and Everly meet under less than ideal circumstances, but he needs her as much as she needs to infiltrate his life. The biggest problem they face, besides both of their lives, and that of Austin’s 4 year old daughter, at risk constantly, and a few too many close calls, is the burning desire Austin and Everly feel for each other. But he refuses to let anyone close, and he has to me just a job for her, or else she’ll lose hers.

This book is packed with emotions, heat, and a terrific storyline filled with lovable characters that I’ll be desperately hoping get their own stories.

Skye Jordan has outdone herself with this book. I’ve read most of her books and love them all, but this one jumped to the top of the list quite easily. Something about the characters, and Austin and Everly’s connection just wormed it’s way in my heart and I couldn’t get enough of their story!

I HIGHLY suggest this book. It’s a must-read!

Skye Jordan is a pseudonym for New York Times bestselling romantic suspense author Joan Swan. Skye’s novels are about enjoying that little wild streak we don’t let out often enough. About those fantasies we rarely get the opportunity to indulge. About stretching limits, checking out the dark side, and maybe even acting a little naughty. They’re about escape and fun and pleasure and romance. And, yes, even love, because while wicked-great sex is good, happily ever after with wicked-great sex is even better.

When she’s not writing, Skye loves to read, knit, craft, row, ride, and dabble in photography.

NEW RELEASE REVIEW ~BECAUSE YOU'RE MINE BY CLAIRE CONTRERAS~

Title: Because You're Mine

Author: Claire Contreras

Release Date: July 12, 2018

When you grow up in the most feared mafia family, it's easy to identify the kind of men that are bad news.

They're the ones with experience.
The ones with secrets.
The ones that exude sex just by saying your name.

From the minute I laid eyes on Lorenzo, I knew he wasn't just bad news.
He was the headline.

My opinion didn't change on our second meeting.

Or our third.

But my head and my heart are at war.

He’s too mysterious, too gorgeous, too wild, and now, he wants me.
I should run far away.
So why am I racing toward him?
I’m totally going to get burned.
I know it.
A man like Lorenzo won’t leave me unscathed.
He'll make ashes of me.

OH. MY. GOD. I was not expecting this book. Claire Contreras has fully outdone herself with Because You're Mine. This book has stayed with me for DAYS and I'm still not sure I can do a review for it justice. But I'm going to try to put into words how wonderful, amazing, and stunning this book is.

Catalina and Lorenzo's story is deeply emotional, wickedly sexy, and breathtaking. They are from the same, corrupted side of life, but whereas Catalina is trying her darnedest to extricate herself from the life she was born into, Loren makes his living in the deep hells of that same world, and thrives while doing it. He is everything she doesn't want, but as they spend more time with one another their undeniable attraction sparks an out-of-control fire neither one of them can put out no matter how badly they want to.

The problem lies in the past. A complicated web of a past that threatens to suffocate them both when it rages into their present, into their love affair, and into any solid future they could hope to have. Decisions they made in the past, and others made for them, are horrifyingly real and could end the slice of happiness they had found together.

What I loved so much about this book was Loren and Catalina together. Everything stood in their way, and their emotional torture of the past dictates a lot of who they are now, but together they could put all of that aside. They could revel in Loren's devastatingly alpha tendencies, and Catalina's sweet, and sassy personality. They could drown in their moments together that seemingly blocked out everything bad in their world. It was a fascinating, and awe-inspiring thing to read their story. I experienced a rainbow of emotions from heart-racing wonderment, to tumultuous passion, to gut-wrenching agony, to blissfulness. This book has it all, does it all, and should be read by all. It's a hands-down must-read!

Happy Reading!
