Darling Dmitri by Rose Croft–Review

My Darling Dmitri,

You have snuck in under my radar and confiscated my heart, soul, and being. Your filthy words, unwanted touch, and overall aggressive and protective nature are almost too much (Hint: almost, but not entirely. I will not be throwing out my safe word!)

I wholeheartedly approve of grey sweatpants, no shirts (yours, not mine), working out, hot saunas and having your guy friends over. But this is getting ahead of myself. Do you remember the days when Daddy Arty told you to, ‘Make her feel welcome. Safe. Protected. You are now like her older brother.’ Yep, me neither. Good, now that that is settled, let’s get back to us!

Talk soon, my grumpy, grouchy, alpha Russian!
Checkmate,
Sue (the original zaychik)
—————————————-
Rose Croft has elevated her writing to a whole other level with Darling Dmitri. This is the third book in the Boys on the Hill series. Let me just say, I fell for Roman and his growly nature, while Nicholas sucked me in with all the feels, but it is Dmitri who has put me under a spell.

This book introduces us to Dmitri and Sorina. It is full of angst, it is forbidden, taboo, and has an alpha who will put ALL OTHER ALPHAS to shame. Sorina is a strong and feisty character who can give as good as she gets. Dmitri is Dmitri. A completely unapologetic, grumpy, Russian male, who excels in football.

The interaction between the two of them is explosive, electric, and spicy. There is witty banter, needling between friends, immense angst, and emotions on overload. It is safe to say that Dmitri and Sorina are my new favorite couple and Rose’s best book yet. I am so excited to read about Axel and his troubles. I have a feeling it is going to be good!!

Beautiful Graves by LJ Shen–Review

Sep28

One woman with two different kinds of love. Which would you choose if you had to choose? Your soulmate or the love of your life? Enter Everlynne, Joe, and Dom.

LJ has written a two-part love triangle evolving around these three with Ever being the primary catalyst. Beautiful Graves is exquisitely written, excruciatingly gut-wrenching, heart-breaking, and full of angst, Angst, and ANGST!

“I loved you, Ever Lawson. But I want you to know, you’re the worst thing that’s ever f*g happened to me.”

There was so much heaviness and feelings of sorrow that was prevalent throughout, mainly from Ever herself. She is the girl with unique dreams and loves that doesn’t quite fit in. To counterbalance her morose being are a couple great secondary characters that fill the book and situations with moments of levity.

What have we learned? Love is messy and life isn’t perfect. Yet, through these three we find the normalcy of insecurities and growing pains of teenagers through their mid-twenties. It was raw, passion-filled, mistake driven, and yet through it all imperfectly perfect.

Blurb:

Meraki Mallory lived two lives. The one that everyone thought she did, and the one she worked hard to hide. She burned with her demons instead of running from them, but when Niko Davis rode back into town with a bag full of secrets, she knew she would need to start hiding them instead. Niko knew her inside and out, and if he saw even a smidge of her soul, he would see that she was no longer the girl he left behind…

When the president of the New York chapter of the Seven Knights MC dies, he passes the gavel down to Niko… but unknown to anyone else, that’s not the only thing he left him.

Niko fights for what’s his, and he’s only ever claimed one person in his life—Meraki. So when he rips away the walls she built around herself with his bare teeth, the secrets that she has so fiercely hidden away all of these years suddenly bleed onto the four unmarked graves laid out in front of his steel-cap boots…

It started with a bond that destroyed everyone around them…

…it ends with blood.

*this is a DARK ROMANCE. Please check triggers if you think you may need to.

**Antichrist is not a retelling of Hunchback of Notre Dame, there are slight nods here and there toward the original tale.

About the Author:

Amo Jones is a USA Today & Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, totally winging this author thing (she’s probably doing it all wrong). She likes cake, loves wine, and her religion is magic (Slytherin). She’s a profound work-a-holic, but when she’s not writing, you can find her chilling with her kids & Husband at the nearest beach, with a cocktail in her hand.

New Zealand is not a state of Australia and rugby is the best sport ever played.

𝔹𝕝𝕦𝕣𝕓:

A brilliant surgeon.

A master sculptor.

The media touted Dr. Potter as a savior dressed in a crisp suit.

I think he’s a vicious madman of jerk-sized proportions.

But fate is a wicked tease.

Only Dr. Potter can give me what I need.

A fresh start.

A new identity.

But he refused, leaving me to take matters into my own hands by accepting a job as his partner’s new secretary.

Dr. Potter can’t turn down my case forever.

Or at least I thought.

Until I found him on the office floor.

Broken.

Angry.

With a venomous warning… One I failed to heed.

Say You Swear by Meagan Brandy–New Release

Feb18

Say You Swear by Meagan Brandy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My first love of Meagan Brandy’s was the Boys of Brayshaw series. Loved, seriously loved, read it twice and audio booked it once. So, when I say I loved Meagan and her boys, it was immense, however, my still beating, fluttery heart had not seen the likes of Noah Riley…yet. Hands down, my favorite book boyfriend ever. Swoony, dreamy, cavity-inducing man who can throw down when he needs to is mine! Ms. Brandy, you can stop writing now, as there could be no H better than him (I challenge you) 😉🥰.

Now, there are so many amazing things about this book, besides the panty-dropping, sweet hero, that I do not know where to start without giving anything away. There is immense love, family, and friendships that exude from the pages. I need more of these secondary characters and would love to have their stories just to experience this group again. The backing of love and support is beautiful to see because unfortunately, this doesn’t happen very often.

Say You Swear is a slow burn that is full of angst and will leave your heart shredded and mind blown with all the emotions and feels. I cried, y’all, I cried without even realizing it. Just when I thought I might have an idea as to where the story would go, it did not. So please, I implore you to sit back and enjoy the ride Meagan will take you on. The emotional hangover is real, and I want to feel it all over again! Buddy read anyone??
