Raphael by Eva Winners


I love this book.

ok so I have got attached to all the mafia men and Raphael is no different. With a secret brother to help he still seems to be more focused on making the mum his family too.

Sailor is a blast from his past but due to trauma, she doesn't remember him and is not inclined to trust the man whose family helped destroy hers and is forcing her to marry him.

I couldn't put this book down and was desperate for this pair to get their happy ending. The whole book just has me wanting more and never wanting this world to end. 

Love the author's writing and the world, so yes this will be one I will reommend and will be looking forward to the next book.

Jed by K.L Ramsey


Ah so good.

I enjoy this author's books I find them great quick reads. Jed being a lawyer I was expecting his trip to the woods to be different actually than what happened but still enjoyed it. In fact not being able to tell the story beforehand probably made it so I enjoyed it more.

Mercedes is the new neighbour and though they have trouble on first meeting you can tell that they need to be together. Bad news has Jed needing to go back to the city with Mercedes driving him and they seem to really work through their differences.

I finished this very quickly in one sitting and recommend it for those wanting those short easy reads but still with a little angst and feeling. Will look forward to the next in this series too plus more from the author in general.

The Book Of Uriel by Elyse Hoffman


Different.

Ok so I skip genres etc a lot but for historical WWII I have read a few and I was intrigued by this book being young adult. I didn't realise just how different it would be though and was pleasantly surprised. 

This took Angels into a story of a horrific time giving a boy the ability to stay invisible from most of those who would hurt him. He has this ability so he can find a lost angel but has to undergo various tasks. Knowing this later I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. 

While religious elements it wasn't a religious book. It did take me some time to get used to the writing style used and I found it a little slow or unsure at the beginning but the story and characters had that not being a problem and kept me intrigued to the end.

I definitely think this was a unique read for me and it would be one I would recommend for others for sure. I'm very interested in what concepts the author may come up with for other books.

Chase Me Natalia Lourose


Hot.

Ok so I love this author so when saw the novella I knew had to read it. As I knew it would be it was too short lol. My only complaint is that I just wanted more. I really liked the characters even if was a short read which is unusual for me. Definitely, something to read for spicy quick read when you get the chance but do check the triggers for anything that you may not enjoy.

Bowie by Jules Ford


Amazing to find a new author that writes so good.

So I found the author after a co-written book I read and saw this was coming out been looking forward to it and fell in love with Bowie. He acts stupidly after a one-night stand and you can tell he will regret it even as he does it.

Layla is perfect for him but he gets scared of his feelings for her. She is crushed and has had a crush on him for a long time. I found myself relating to her well as she had low self-esteem and often let the small town treat her badly by not standing up for herself. 

In Layla's instance, this is due to her past and not wanting any trouble for her daughter. Bowie however stands up for her and treats her like she deserves. With each instance, I loved him more and more.

This was an amazingly quick read that I definitely recommend for other small-town and MC readers. I am looking forward to the author's next book in the series already.

Mine To Hold by Paige Price in Wicked and Ruthless Anthology


Mine To Hold by Paige Price 

This has to be one of my faves by this author I could have screamed at the end and can't wait for the next part for this couple as they have me hooked. I had skipped straight to this story after reading some of authors South Mafia Wars stories and glad I did I definitely need more from author. I will be going back amd reading others in the anthology now too. 

Lust by K.L Ramsey


Another good read.

I love this series the couples fit so great and they are nice and quick do find them easy to get into and don't put down sane can be said for this one. 

Carter Lust doesn't know quite what he's getting with Eloise but you can tell that they both are meant to be. I loved them as couple but I think what I enjoyed the most is Carter's interactions with his sister. 

Can't wait for the next Deadly Sin Syndicate book.

Bloody Cruel Monster by Lucy Smoke


I liked this much more.

After the beginning of last book I wasn't sure on Clover was only nearer the end started to like her but this book I enjoyed her character much more. Not just that she felt like she would fit Braxton much better too so I'm glad we got to see her develop through this story.

It's hard though as can't really say much without spoiling what will say is I enjoyed very much. I didn't want to put down. I love this authors writing style and though more questions on the world as a whole I know I have another book to look forward to and not too long thankfully to wait. 

Highly recommend this book but more than that the series as a whole. 

Claiming Vanessa by Raissa Donovan and Addison Wolf


I jumped in here first and need more.

So thus was new to me authors and haven't read the sisters story so was worried would be a little lost but I wasn't at all. I'm looking forward to more from Vanessa and the guys there definitely feels like there is a lot more to the emotional side and plot to come out so I'm hopefully this series will just get better and better. 

I recommend for those who like the darker side of men they certainly are for those who enjoy non con breeding rh. Not only am I looking forward to read of Vanessa's story but I know will be reading the connected series and more by these authors in the future. 

Salvador by Paige Price


I'm loving these books. 

Can't believe took me so long to find these as really enjoying them. These are perfect for quick Mafia reads. I read thus in one sitting. I really enjoy the writing and the connecting storyline.

Salvator and Cindy are great couple even if at first glance they are opposites and nice to see behind Cindy's facade and barbie doll persona she puts on. 

I recommend this book but will say these do work best reading in order.

Juan Carlos by Paige Price


Still loving these characters. 

So this continues on from after Augustin and Juan Carlos also fell hard for Sonja who was held and shipped with Isa. However Sonja has been working hard and trying to keep her distance more than Isa was and had went through more too.

Her self esteem is quite low from what she has been told and it is nice to see Juan Carlos help her see the truth. Reluctant females have always pulled me in especially where the men seem to know they want her rather than pushing away, so I really enjoyed them.

I also really like the writing style too and makes these a quick read that I don't want to put down. Definitely another that I will pass on to others to read. I'm already looking forward to jumping into the next book. 

Violent Bones by Nikki Landis


Excellent

After reading the first part in the Harlots anthology I was so glad to see Twitchy and Bones story out.

I love Twitchy so much and honestly relationship with Bones while sudden seemed to work so perfectly I was dying for both to get there Happily Ever After with each other.

The writing was superb I love this author and only found due to RBMC I am always hoping for more and more with the ladies now getting there own mc it's even more to look forward to. 

If you like some Paranormal mixed in with your Bikers you definitely need to give these a read. 

Say It’s Forever by A.L. Jackson

Jumped straight in.

Ok so after Trents book I jumped straight in to his brother Jud's book without checking into it at all. Was worth it too. 

If thought Trent was grumpy then Jed takes to another level while still seeming more approachable than his brother he hides his darkness and nightmares in a smirk and flirting really. 

Where Selem is just hiding and constantly running.  They both really seem to compliment each other very well even as they both fight there feelings and Salem wanting to run. 

Even as Some seem to not like the writing style of the author I found that it really drew me in and was exactly what I needed reading this. 

I couldn't jump straight to the next one as it had few days till came out but definitely need to make sure read it soon. Definitely recommend this book too. 

Give Me A Reason by A.L. Jackson


A few friends had been reading.

I didn't think I would be able to read due to my already long tbr list but after hearing few others talking I had to know more. I'm glad now I did.

The writing was different but so good I was hooked and didn't put down until I was finished. It wasn't what I was expecting at all either which I loved too. 

This will be one that I pass on as a recommendation for sure grumpy/sunshine feels along with employee/boss relationship and single dad too I mean really I couldn't have asked for any more on my holiday. I can't wait to read more and jumping straight into the brothers book next. 

Augustin by Paige Price


Oh so good.

Augustin feels a bit different than Dominic but if possible loved it even more. Plus still got to see more of Dominic and Mina which is always a good thing for a loved couple.

Augustin is getting involved to help Mina as she prepares to take back over and over throw her uncle. When hijacking one of his shipments though he meets Isa who was taken along with another girl.

Isa is sweet, nieve but also deaf which gives things an extra element to work around as they get to know each other and try and keep her safe.

Definitely be one I recommend and I'm looking forward to the next story as there is still unanswered questions etc at the end of it to role on to the next couple.

edge by Amy davies


Finally...

So while reading this series I was desperately waiting for Edge's book as it was often brought up that he was taken. He let Syn go, albeit brutally,  pushing her away so she would leave for university but as she is now done and coming home he's determined to get her back.

Syn has changed while away amd isn't the same nieve teen she was when she left. She however still can't get over Edge but she does try to keep away at least to start.

I was hooked from the start on there relationship and found thus was a great way to finish the series. Was glad to hear that there are more relating to the series though and next generation of the mc were getting a series too. Definitely Recommend this book and the series as a whole. 

rookie by Amy davies


Rookie drove me a bit nuts In this. While it is explained to why he has issues with Della's dad being law inforcement i really wanted there to be more begging on his part after the way he treated her.

Della is obviously very sweet and quite different from the other ol' ladies but does still fit in too. Her self esteem issues especially I relation to her weight made me relate to her more amd seem more real. Think that's why I really wanted Rookie having a harder time before the forgiveness. 

I read this again in one go similar to the other stories by the author that I found just recently. I definitely recommend these books for other MC Romance readers. This one specifically for age gap readers. 

Derange's Destruction by j.lynn lombard


I was very curious on this book.

From before in other stories you met Jez and Derange and it had me really wanting there book and I'm glad to have read it. 

Despite her former career Derange still cares for Jez and wants to keep her but both are fighting there own demons in the past. Working through it and Jez finally opening up to Derange and her son was nice to see. 

I am looking forward for more from these guys hopefully in more of the RBMC books. 

Dominic by Paige Price


I loved this book.

I don't know how I hadn't heard of this before now a d was only really thanks to a friend when mentioned love Mafia types that suggested it. 

I adore Mina and Dominic through this and there seems to be so much more from then that I hope will see them through the series or get extra in future for sure. 

This wasn't a typical Mafia story really it felt different though there was similar bits too. Was quite refreshing to see and Mina definitely isn't your average Cartel Princess either. 

The writing had me gripped and definitely wanting more. For first book of this author I know I will be reading more. Definitely one I would recommend and I'm sure I will be rereading and possibly listening too as the sample of audio book had me instantly downloading.

The Consigliere by Serena Akeroyd


Oh my I need the next part...

OK so I knew this was going to be good and I knew it was a duet but damn I need the rest of this story so bad. 

I love Aurora as she really isn't the typical Mafia sister and has the brains there and ruthlessness to get there families revenge even if having to do it from behind the scenes. Her personal life though she has had to hide too and as the council wants her to get married and Hunter now determined to get into her life it all starts coming to a head.

Having been friends that didn't quiet turn to enemies but definitely had distance and Aurora being meaner to Hunter it was great to see Hunter being her opposite in so many ways. 

I love this authors books and thankfully the next part doesn't have long until it releases as the ending of this had me screaming out loud that it was over. I definitely recommend this and the full Five Points World really. They are all including this ones I will reread.
