Blackmail – Amelia Wilde

Blackmail by Amelia Wilde
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Deliciously taboo, Blackmail kicked off a fantastic series featuring Will Leblanc, a deeply damaged millionaire, and Bristol, a caring and giving girl who was trying her best for her young siblings. The couple had great chemistry. I loved Will’s protectiveness and possessiveness towards Bristol. She truly needed someone to lessen her burden. Bristol was the softness and light that Will desperately needed. I hoped that he could see that soon and stopped pushing her away. The storyline was there, I just hope that it had enough meat to expand into the planned trilogy without too much repetitive monologue that dragged on endlessly similar to previous books penned by the author.

Forbidden Mafia Prince – Brooke Blaine, Ella Frank

Forbidden Mafia Prince by Ella Frank, Brooke Blaine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Forbidden Mafia Prince kicked off an alluring rival family captivity MM romance. Dom was the epitome of a dark mafia prince and poor Luca was caught between a mafia war where his true identity was unbeknownst to him. Their arguments and battles of will added fuel to the already sizzling chemistry between the two. The book ended with a tense cliff-hanger. I had so many questions and I cannot wait for the next book to get my answers.

Adrift in the Embers – Cara Dee

Adrift in the Embers: The Game Series #7 by Cara Dee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It was an absolute delight to read Adrift in the Embers. It was heartwarming to witness how Greer, Archie and Sloan had jumped in unconditionally and helped Corey found his once bright and bratty self after the psychological/emotional abuses that his previous “Daddy” had inflicted.

The Redo – Max Monroe

The Redo by Max Monroe
My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars

Looks like I’m late to the party to find the Winslow brothers. The eldest brother Remy found his second chance love with Maria in The Redo. I absolutely enjoyed this heartwarming and low-angst rom-com. I loved that there was the perfect balance of funny, sweet and character growth in this story.
