Loved this book! I can always count on Vi Keeland to give me a really great story to get lost in. I really loved these characters. From the second they meet to the end of the book I was just completely lost in this one. I love the way the book is paced and how both characters go through these really challenging journey's on their own and then with one another. Start to finish a real page turner and one of my new favorites. Dawson and Naomi's story will definitely be a great re-read for me as well.
Title: Indiscretion
Author: Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 13, 2025
BLURB
He's her boss. She's his greatest temptation.
The first time I met Dawson Reed, we wound up in bed.
The problem was, neither of us knew the other were there.
When I woke up in the middle of the night and found a stranger next to me, instinct kicked in and I attacked the intruder.
Only it turned out, the man wasn’t an intruder at all.
Dawson had rented this cabin, too. Apparently, a system glitch allowed a duplicate booking.
We’d soon find out we were in town for the same wedding, and Dawson was the groomsman I’d been warned about. He was as tall, dark and jaw-droppingly gorgeous as my best friend had described. Though she was also right when she’d said you two will hate each other.
When daylight rolled around, Dawson and I attempted to straighten out the mess we found ourselves in. But it proved to be more difficult than we initially thought. Since it was a holiday weekend, there wasn’t a single room available for more than fifty miles.
I suppose things could be worse than sharing a cabin for a weekend with a handsome man you despise.
Like maybe him winding up being your new boss?

Title: Torch
Series: Diamond MC #4
Author: Lila Rose
Genre: Dark MC Romance
Tropes: Touch Her and Die/Anti-Hero/Slow Burn
Release Date: October 29, 2024
BLURB
Her screams were what drew me in.
Since the night I heard them, I followed her.
She was my obsession.
My addiction.
But I could never have her.
She had to be free.
Had to feel peace.
I was nothing but a mess of darkness.
Even on my good days with my brothers from the Diamond MC, I was nothing but tainted.
Still, I would end anyone who hurt her.
Especially those who touched her.
Their blood would stain my hands—one way or another.
Because I would torch the world for her.
Lila was born in Brisbane Australia, her step-dad was in the Army which caused them to move around a lot. They finally settled in country Victoria, Australia. Being the youngest of four children she admits she was spoilt a bit. Even drove her mum crazy when she refused to eat meat at a young age.
Now, Lila lives with her husband and two children.
She started writing in 2013 and self-published the first of the Hawks MC: Ballarat Charter series- Holding Out. Since then, she has published eleven other titles, which range from erotica, humorous romance, YA and paranormal.
Manda's 5 Star Review
I could not have been happier to have the opportunity to review this book. I have been a fan of Lila Rose for ages and have been looking forward to more of her wonderful books. I have been intrigued by Torch since I read Death. As a matter of fact I went back and read the whole series before I jumped in . These characters are so complex and the story is very emotional. Definitely some trigger warnings to be cautious of. A fantastic read from one of my absolute favorite authors.

Title: The Rules of Dating a Younger Man Authors: Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance Release Date: September 15, 2024 BLURB I was the last of my group of friends to find “the one.” The guys would always tease me that I needed to hurry up and settle down. But I was in no rush. Until I met someone worth rushing for. Alex was one of the weekend volunteers at Ryan’s House—a charity I founded to build housing near hospitals. Little did I know she was the same person I’d been arguing with over email before the project started. At the time, I’d thought Alex was a dude. In reality? She was a smoking hot blonde who captivated me from the moment we met in person. Our chemistry was off the charts, and I fell hard pretty fast. Unfortunately, Alex insisted I was too young for her. I hated that she felt that way. Because age was just a number. Not only that, her words didn’t match the way she looked at me—like she was very interested. I lived for the weekends we’d spend out of town volunteering. Alex and I side-by-side hammering during the day, while sharing intimate dinners together at the hotel at night. Eventually, the walls she’d put up to protect her heart began to crumble. Until fate threw us a doozy that I wasn’t sure we could come back from. If I’d thought our age gap was the biggest hurdle, I didn’t know anything yet. Rule number one for dating an older woman who insists you could never be together? Don’t fall in love.

Manda's 4.5 Star Review
I absolutely love this series!! From the very first book I have been in love with these characters. I always look forward to reading these books and I was so looking forward to Brayden's story. It did not disappoint. Lots to unpack with this one. Absolutely loved Brayden!! Wonderful character and I also really loved Alex. I didn't give this one 5 Stars because there was a part in the book with Alex that kind of put me off a bit with her. I won't give anything away from the book but there is a part with her showing up at a hotel room that made me like her character just a bit less. Obviously I got over it as a whole because I did really enjoy their story and was happy with how everything played out. Wild twist that keeps things very interesting. Definitely a great series that I recommend. RELEASE BLITZ

Title: The Rocker's Muse
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Rockstar/15-Year Age Gap/Small Town
Found Family/Slow Burn/Forbidden
Release Date: August 26, 2024
BLURB
From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE novel…
No one but me knew why I was actually in the California desert that day.
Nestled deep within the desolate, rocky area was a recording studio.
When a door suddenly opened, a man mistook me for someone he was supposed to be interviewing for a job.
The next thing I knew, I was whisked inside.
The position? An assistant on the upcoming tour for one of America’s most famous rock bands.
Pretty exciting opportunity for a twenty-two-year-old, just out of college.
Not surprisingly, I bombed the interview.
When I ended up mistakenly walking into the men’s room on my way out, I struck up a conversation with a stranger—not realizing it was the lead singer, Tristan Daltrey.
He seemed to like the fact that I had no idea who he was, that I saw him as a normal person.
That night, I got a call offering me the job.
So began my complicated story with Tristan.
Millions of women loved him.
Yet for some reason, after the shows, he only wanted to hang out with me.
Late-night talks. Casual dinners in his hotel room.
I wasn’t supposed to be fraternizing with the band’s frontman.
Despite our fifteen-year age difference, Tristan and I had a connection.
But I had a secret.
One that would eventually lead to my leaving the tour.
And one that would lead Tristan and the band straight to the small town where I came from.

Manda's 5 Star Review
Right from the beginning this book has you intrigued. You know immediately everything is not what it seems, but you will not be prepared for the truth to come out. This is an excellent page turner. Complete emotional roller coaster that has a twist you will not see coming. Took me completely off guard and took me a minute to form my opinion. Wasn't completely sure of my feelings on the plot twist but Penelope Ward is such an amazing writer you can't help but fall head over heels for these characters. Excellent characters and an amazing storyline. Don't want to miss this one. REVIEW TOUR

Title: King of Nothing Author: Aurora Rose Reynolds Genre: Contemporary Romance Tropes: Hurt/Comfort, Redemption, Road Trip Secret Billionaire, Emotional Scars Release Date: July 29, 2024 BLURB I met him when my ship was sinking, and I clung to him through the storm. Little did I know he needed me as much as I needed him. The first time I saw Roman Dante King, he stuck out like an odd puzzle piece that got mixed up in the wrong box. It wasn’t his blue eyes in the dim light of the bar, the tattoos that covered his arms and hands, or even his arrogant personality. It was something else—something I couldn’t see—that told me he didn’t belong in our small beach town on the Oregon coast. Elora Mazie Barlow reminded me of a hummingbird zipping from one flower to another, never stopping, never allowing anyone more than a glimpse before she was gone. Never letting anyone in… until me. Then she gave me her smiles that were more valuable than anything I ever owned and wrapped me in her peace without asking for anything in return. Her tragic story sounded achingly familiar to my own. Our connection is knotted up in loss. The journey we’re on together will eventually come to an end. But will we be able to untangle the mess of strings that have tied us together? Will we even want to?

Holy moly!! What just happened!! This book just spun me completely around. I am still just sitting here in shock. Hands down best read of the year so far. I read almost all of this book at one time. I had to stop with only 3 chapters left. It was so good. I was able to sneak in a little time to finish the last few chapters but sat there for a good long while after I finished with my mouth hanging open in shock. This book is a roller coaster.!! The suspense is thrilling, and the twist was so shocking and unexpected I still haven't recovered. I review a lot of books for this author and consider her one of my absolute favorite authors. This book is so good and so different from her usual writing. Knocked it out of the park!! This is one I wish I could read again for the first time. Haven't read a twist like that in a minute, and it was fantastic!!!

BLURB
From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE novel…
ABBY:
I’m falling for the father of the baby I’m carrying.
The problem is: it’s not my baby.
And the broody widower is not looking for a long-term partner.
As a surrogate, the deal was that I’d only be in England long enough to give birth.
At first, the man seemed as pretentious as his name: Sigmund Benedictus.
He and I butted heads.
Sig challenged my intentions, accused me of just wanting to do this for the money.
Gradually, he learned to trust me.
He even became protective.
Over time, our heated animosity turned into fiery chemistry.
I was falling in love with him.
But my time here had a limit.
I needed to protect my heart from the devastatingly gorgeous older man who’d end up breaking it.
SIG:
When my in-laws told me they wanted to use my dead wife’s eggs to conceive a grandchild, I wasn’t immediately on board.
They swore that on her deathbed Britney told them it was what she wanted—but only if I fathered the baby. Her parents insisted they would be the ones to raise it.
Against my better judgment, I agreed.
I vowed to keep my heart out of it, though.
I’d continue to pretend it wasn’t happening and live the empty, single life I’d become accustomed to the past five years since Britney died.
And despite the fact that a certain younger American named Abby Knickerbocker had awakened things inside me that I thought were long dead…
I most certainly wouldn’t fall in love with the surrogate.

Manda's 5 Star Review
I loved this book so much. Such a wonderful storyline and beautiful characters. It feels like a lifetime ago since we were first met Sig. I am a huge fan of Penelope Ward and have loved all of her books. Sig was a character in the Aristocrat that I loved an couldn't wait to get his story. This is one of those books that will have you running through all your emotions and keeping those pages turning. Abby is an amazing character that makes this story even better. Fantastic read and I highly recommend reading The Aristocrat first just so you can see the full Transformation of Sig.

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Trope: Grumpy-Sunshine
Release Date: January 15, 2024
BLURB
When life took an unexpected turn, I decided to get out of New York for a while. What better place to go than the idyllic small town my father spoke about so fondly when I was growing up? Laurel Lake held the title America’s Friendliest Town for seventeen years running, and friendly was just what I needed right now.
Unfortunately, friendly wasn’t the welcome I got when I arrived.
Instead, I got Fox Cassidy. My tall, dark, and burly neighbor, who grunted at me instead of saying hello.
Okay, so I might’ve had his mailbox in my hands the first time we met. And it might’ve been a little crushed after removing it from under my tire. And I might’ve needed his help breaking into the place I was staying in after the key broke off in the lock. But still…he didn’t have to be so grumpy.
As time went on though, I started to notice things about Fox other than his glares. Like how he watched me when he thought I wasn’t looking, or how fire ignited in his eyes whenever we bickered. Though I was in Laurel Lake to escape my problems, not create new ones. And getting involved with a man like Fox screamed trouble, even if he was gorgeous and unlike any man I’d ever met.
But alas, problem seemed to be my middle name this year. So why not have some fun while I was here for the summer? It seemed like a good plan. At least until it was time to go home…
They say what happens at the lake, stays at the lake. But it’s not so easy to walk away when what stays behind…is your heart.

I just love this author so much. Whenever a new book comes out, I can't wait to read it. This one is a new favorite. I absolutely loved the characters from the very start. Even the grumpy Fox. Love the way they meet and the way the story progresses. It's definitely a fun page turner. This will be a reread for sure. |
