Twisted Hate

Description

He hates her…almost as much as he wants her.

Gorgeous, cocky, and fast on his way to becoming a hotshot doctor, Josh Chen has never met a woman he couldn’t charm—except for Jules f**king Ambrose.

The beautiful redhead has been a thorn in his side since they met, but she also consumes his thoughts in a way no woman ever has.

When their animosity explodes into one unforgettable night, he proposes a solution that’ll get her out of his system once and for all: an enemies with benefits arrangement with simple rules.

No jealousy.

No strings attached.

And absolutely no falling in love.

Outgoing and ambitious, Jules Ambrose is a former party girl who’s focused on one thing: passing the attorney’s bar exam.

The last thing she needs is to get involved with a doctor who puts the SUFFER in insufferable…no matter how good-looking he is.

But the more she gets to know him, the more she realizes there’s more than meets the eye to the man she’s hated for so long.

Her best friend’s brother.

Her nemesis.

And her only salvation.

Theirs is a match made in hell, and when the demons from their past catch up with them, they’re faced with truths that could either save them …or destroy everything they’ve worked for.

Twisted Hate is a steamy enemies with benefits/enemies to lovers romance. It’s book three in the Twisted series but can be read as a standalone.

Warning: It contains explicit content and profanity. Recommended for 18+.

My review

“Of all my favorite sights in the world- the Washington Monument at sunrise, the autumnal blaze of leaves during a New England fall, the expanse of ocean and jungle laid out before me at the end of a long hike in Brazil- Jules wearing my shirt might just be my number one.”

Jules: Law Student, East going party girl, loyal friend, hates Josh Chen.

Josh: Resident Doctor, volunteer MVP, player, brother…. hates Jules Ambrose.

But what can kindle a fire more than hate?

Ana Huang is one of my favorite romance writers to date.
Steam, Slow Burn, Side Characters, Backstories, Mystery and Intrigue… you name it and she is CRUSHING it.

The Twisted series only gets better and better each book and Twisted Hate is for sure my favorite thus far.

Josh Chen is clean and complicated, sweet yet destructive, and above all my new book boyfriend.

What I loved:
-diverse characters
-the steam was different and HAWT
-one bed trope HOLLLLLLAAAAA
-enemies to lovers and all the manipulation that comes with it🔥
-the tie in with each book in the series
-the epilogue…. THANK YOU (iykyk)
-mature characters with aspirations and goals
-slow burn and HOT tension

I cannot recommend this series enough. From book 1 to 3 these go down as some of my top recommended.

Rating:
story-⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
characters-⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
steam-I will compare it to a propane flame… colorful, bright and will burn the heck out of you.(4/5🔥)

Running Wild

Description

From the internationally bestselling author of The Simple Wild comes the story of a woman at a crossroads in her life, struggling between the safe route and the one that will only lead to more heartbreak.

Veterinarian Marie Lehr knows unrequited love all too well after pining for her best friend, only to watch him marry another woman. It’s a mistake she will never make again, especially not when she can practically hear the clock ticking on her childbearing years.

The trouble is, she can’t seem to find anyone who appeals to her even a fraction as much as that burly bush pilot did. Competitive musher Tyler Brady certainly doesn’t, especially not after the heated altercation with the handsome but arrogant, spiteful man.

Or so she thinks.

While volunteering at the Iditarod Sled Dog Race, Marie discovers that first impressions may have been false, and her attraction to Tyler is very real. But his heart belongs to someone else, leaving him with nothing to offer but friendship. Marie’s been down this road before and knows how that ends. Yet, no matter how hard she works to keep from falling for Tyler, it seems she’s doomed to follow her own trail once again.

My Review

“I am only human. I have a heart that aches when dreams are shattered, and emotions that can pull a river of tears when hope proves false.”

When I read the Simple Wild a few years ago it easily became a favorite for me. It stepped out of the normal contemporary romance feel and gave me a new home in Alaska and a bush pilot to love.

Some of us loved that bush pilot so much and his new wife Calla that we were very closed minded to Marie.

Marie is the villain who wanted to steal Noah, right?

But everyone has a story, and some of them may surprise you.

All Marie’s ever wanted was someone to love and a family of her own, and after waiting for her best friend to notice her and realizing he never would, Marie felt like she has lost all hope for finding her someone.
She no longer looks at that man with longing, but with adoration for his life and heartbreak for her own.
A woman with a giving heart who gives TOO much to a fault.
A woman who wants authentic soul crushing love.
A woman who is 38 and without children of her own.

Marie bleeds all of her life and earnings into her vet practice and helping Alaska run Iditarod in the safest manner for the dogs.

That heart and fight for animals is what leads her into the arms of Tyler Brady. New town sledding rookie and a little bit of a heart throb.

But Tyler has his own demons and can only offer friendship, the one thing Marie can’t bare to go through again.

This story is everything you would expect from KA Tucker, but nothing you thought you wanted from Marie.
It is raw authentic truth of what it is to be lonely.
It is the perfect picture of a fear many women have but never speak openly about.
But for me it was a story of redemption and second chances.

Running Wild is nothing short of perfection when it comes to The Wild Series.

And I will shamelessly plug that I’m begging for more from this OTP.

Read if you love:
-heartbreak after unrequited love
-crusadors and saviors of animals
-Your NEW Jonah ❤️
-a mature woman lead
-alaskan history and events
-seeing some of your original WILD favorites
-family, the dysfunctional and broken kind
-cars, bars and sleeping bags 😘
-friends to lovers, slow burn romance

note: this book can be read as a standalone. She does a great job summarizing previous events that you could continue here if that was your desire.

Isn’t it Bromantic

Synopsis:

With his passion for romance novels, it was only a matter of time before Vlad wrote one.

Elena Konnikova has lived her entire adult life in the shadows. As the daughter of a Russian journalist who mysteriously disappeared, she escaped danger the only way she knew how: She married her childhood friend, Vladimir, and moved to the United States, where he is a professional hockey player in Nashville.

Vlad, aka the Russian, thought he could be content with his marriage of convenience. But it’s become too difficult to continue in a one-sided relationship. He joined the Bromance Book Club to learn how to make his wife love him, but all he’s learned is that he deserves more. He’s ready to create his own sweeping romance—both on and off the page.

The bros are unwilling to let Vlad forgo true love—and this time they’re not operating solo. They join forces with Vlad’s neighbors, a group of meddling widows who call themselves the Loners. But just when things finally look promising, Elena’s past life intrudes and their happily ever after is cast into doubt.

My Review:

“Wakey, wakey, hands off snakey.”

Thats right, we are BACK LADIES! And better than ever.

Isn’t it Bromantic follows Vlad and his wife Elena. The mystery woman many thought was a figment of the imagination, well, until she shows up asking for a divorce.

But was that request a mistake?
Are the feelings both have ignored so long mutual and stronger than ever?

All Elena knows is right now, Vlad needs her, and she will need to earn the respect and spot among Vlad’s people.
First the bookclub… Vlad’s best friends that seem to know more than she does with their plotting and “I seeeeee’s.”
The Loners, a bunch of widowed or divorced women who have taken Vlad under their wing in his time of loneliness. And some of these ladies will put a hex on you.

“You’re still waiting on your knight in shining armor who will make you all giddy and sparkly for the rest of your life. What you should be looking for is someone you’re still willing to have sex with after they make you look at their colonoscopy.”

This book was by far my favorite in the series since book 1. It has the strong element of comedic relief, serious underlying topics, and of course… romance.

Read if you love:
-the perfect rom-com
-russian inspiration so good you can taste it
-friends to lovers
-a big furry cinnamon roll you can’t help cheer on
-friends… the weirdest and the best of them all
-a bit of crime action

Rating:
genre- rom com, can be read as a standalone but wouldn’t recommend
story-⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

steam- He’s romantic… not easy, calm down….

Thank you to the publisher for gifting me an EARC for this incredible book.

Exodus

Synopsis

Can you live a lie?

It’s a ghost town, this place that haunts me, the one that made me.
It’s clear to me that I’ll never outgrow Triple Falls or outlive the time I spent
here.
I can still feel them all, my boys of summer.
Even when I’d sensed the danger, I gave in.
I didn’t heed a single warning. I let my sickness, my love, both rule and ruin
me. I played my part, eyes wide open, tempting fate until it delivered.
There was never going to be an escape.
All of us are to blame for what happened. All of us serving our own
sentences. We were careless and reckless, thinking our youth made us
indestructible, exempt from our sins, and it cost us all.
I’m done pretending I didn’t leave the largest part of me between these
hills and valleys, between the sea of trees that hold my secrets.
It’s the reason I’m back. To make peace with my fate.
And if I can’t grieve enough to cure myself in my time here, I’ll remain sick.
That will be my curse.
But it’s time to confess, to myself more so than any other, that I’d hindered
my chances because of the way I was built, and because of the men who built me.
At this point, I just want to make peace with who I am, no matter what
ending I get.

Because I can no longer live a lie.

My Review

““I didn’t know how f****** possessed I was until I saw the way they loved you.”

If you look up “Exodus” in the dictionary… you will see it as the book that will fuel your soul and then absolutely crush it.

Flock leaves us with a bit of a hanger as we are finally introduced to The Frenchman and all the darkness that follows him.

Cecelia wants nothing more than to be reunited with the two mysteries that stole her heart, but fate has other plans.

Exodus is a rollercoaster and feels like two books smashed into one.

Expect to fall in love, to fan yourself from the HEAT, and to sob as you try to retrieve the pieces after the explosion that hits your heart.

I’m naming Exodus in my top 10 reads of 2021.. all consuming and completely destructive.

I also have a special place for this book from the Thorn Birds references… which is my all time favorite book.

Come take a ride in Dom’s black Camaro, learn how to love insatiably, and unravel the mysteries and confusion created by the men that changed you and made you.

Read if you love:
-A heroine with the strength of an army
-messy love
-fated love
-SHOCK AND AWE… the ties only intertwine more and more
-unabashed ravishing
-the good guys who have to do bad things
-KILLER music references
-a good cleansing cry
-a series that will ruin everything else for you

Flock ( The Ravenhood Series)

Synopsis:

I grew up sick.⁣
⁣
Let me clarify.⁣
⁣
I grew up believing that real love stories include a martyr or demand great sacrifice to be worthy.⁣
⁣
Because of that, I believed it, because I made myself believe it, and I bred the most masochistic of romantic hearts, which resulted in my illness.⁣
⁣
When I lived this story, my own twisted fairy tale, it was unbeknownst to me at the time because I was young and naïve. I gave into temptation and fed the beating beast, which grew thirstier with every slash, every strike, every blow.⁣
⁣
Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets.⁣
⁣
Secrets that cost us everything to keep.⁣
⁣
That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to.⁣
⁣
Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence due to my illness.⁣
⁣
And all were punished.

Both books in The Ravenhood Duet are now available and must be read in order.

Book #1 Flock
Book #2 Exodus

This is an angsty, unconventional love story with high steam, loaded with suspense, a little action, and ALL OF THE FEELS!

My Review:

“The truth is, I do expect a lot out of my love story and the man I’ll share it with. I expect passion and butterflies, and one or two fairy tale moments. When we fight, I want it to hurt. When we f***, I want to feel it with every fiber of my being. When a man confesses his love to me, I expect him to mean it. I don’t want to question the words’ authenticity. I want to be claimed and owned and ruled and possessed by love.”

Cecilia:
moves in with her father for one reason and one reason only. To take her fortune and hand it over to her mother. The mother who was left broken, damaged and an addict. All because of unrequited love.

In this town no one is who they seem… so, can you keep a secret?

The mystery boys with fast cars, egos and raven wings tattooed on their skin have Cecilia curious as to what is behind the masks they wear.
Meet these boys:

Alfred Sean Roberts
The giver with the hazel eyes. The man who lives in the moment and demands all of your attention.
The one with the knee weakening smile.

Jean Dominic King
Black hair and silver eyes that hold you wear you stand.
Defender with a temper and a man of little words… but he WILL be your undoing.
Dominic. is. my. weakness
Fast cars and nasty words are his specialty.

The love Cecelia read about and expected may not be what she finds.
It’s going to be messy.
It’s going to be painful.
And its going to be a secret many will never know or understand.

Welcome to your summer obsession, and the one when someone says “what’s your book about?” you have no idea how to give an answer… you just instantly download it for them.

All I know is I think I did my early 20s wrong. Anyone have a redo card?

Read if you love:
-a bit of mystery packed in two beautiful men
-a corrupt small town
-fast cars
-conspiracies
– a love… knot? not necessarily a triangle… yes… ill say knot.
-young protagonist with daddy issues… and even though you don’t have them yourself… you get it.

Rating:
story- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AND IM OBSESSED
characters- just take my whole bag… no one else will compete with these boys
steam- I’m day 3 of my ice bath after how HOT that was.

The Road Trip

Book Description

Addie and her sister are about to embark on an epic road trip to a friend’s wedding in the north of Scotland. The playlist is all planned and the snacks are packed.

But, not long after setting off, a car slams into the back of theirs. The driver is none other than Addie’s ex, Dylan, who she’s avoided since their traumatic break-up two years earlier.

Dylan and his best mate are heading to the wedding too, and they’ve totalled their car, so Addie has no choice but to offer them a ride. The car is soon jam-packed full of luggage and secrets, and with three hundred miles ahead of them, Dylan and Addie can’t avoid confronting the very messy history of their relationship…

Will they make it to the wedding on time? And, more importantly… is this really the end of the road for Addie and Dylan?

“You’re going to break my heart, Dylan Abbott. I can feel it.”
–“Nom That’s- I was- we’re not like that. We’re different, me and you. I’ll never break your heart Addie.”
-“And so said every gentleman to the girl who lived in the servant’s quarters, eh?”

Beth O’Leary comes at us with her 3rd novel The Road Trip and without even reading a description I knew I had to have it.
As an author, she has a captivating way of writing situations you could find yourself as a normal person in trying to solve a simple problem that feels quite heavy.

Coated in humor and romance, TRT is tender, soft and full of meaning I didn’t quite expect.

With time hops from “NOW” and “THEN” we see Dylan and Addie crash into each other again after almost a 2 year break up that left them both devastated.
A car full of weirdos on a journey to a wedding will leave you laughing, swooning and almost in tears as you head to the destination, and if you’re like me, you’ll be completely consumed by this love story.

Read if you like:
-Jojo Moyes sophistication
-Fredrik Backman’s quirky humor
– all consuming first love and second chances
-friendships and bonds that are both strong and toxic
– a great summer read to get you away for a day

Why I gave it 4 stars:
Honestly, I’m not sure. This was the first of her books that I read myself and maybe I just find her writing leveled to a new intensity with an audio narrator rather than myself but some spots felt a bit flat or irrelevant, however didn’t necessarily take away from the story. I loved being in Dylan’s brain and time jumping back to the beginning of their relationship. What a unique set of characters to find love. I was ALL IN!

A Fate of Wrath & Flame

Available TODAY!

Synopsis:

Gifted thief Romeria has flourished from her days as a street kid pilfering wallets to survive. Now she thrives, stealing jewels from the rich under the involuntary employ of New York City’s most notorious crime boss. But when an enigmatic woman secures her services at swordpoint, Romeria is plunged into a startling realm of opposing thrones, warring elven, and elemental magic she cannot begin to fathom.

Her quest is straightforward: Steal a stone from Islor’s sacred garden without anyone discovering her true identity, which would earn her certain death. But the identity she has inexplicably assumed is that of the captured Ybarisan princess—an enemy to Islor after she poisoned their beloved king and queen on the day she was to marry the prince.

Her betrothed, the newly crowned King Zander, detests her with every grain of his handsome being. Fortunately for Romeria, she is more valuable to him alive than dead. Zander gives her a choice: life in a cell, or an acquittal of all charges in exchange for her help in exposing the growing plot against him.

Romeria sees no other option and embraces the tricky role of smitten queen-to-be until she can escape, a ruse that brings her far closer to the king than she anticipated and threatens more than her safety. As she digs deeper into this sacred garden and the ancient feud between Ybaris and Islor, she discovers monstrous truths that could spell ruin for all.

She would know the world of vengeful gods and monsters, and the lengths one would go for love. And nothing would ever be the same for her again.

My Review

“It would be a lot easier if you didn’t react the way you do to me.”
“I can’t help it.”
“Neither can I anymore, it would seem.”

I was scrolling instagram a few months back and thought “Could it be?? KA.T. writing a FANTASY ROMANCE?!?”
Oh and it was true.
The woman who brought us Jonah has now decided we need to have a minor heart attack.

KA Tucker delivers extraordinary world building for her first time in this genre. I wanted to live in Islor with the Mortals and Immortals alike. I wanted to be a caster and see what type of elemental power I would have. I wanted to wear a beautiful gown and fall for a king who wore a heavy crown.
I was consumed and completed immersed in AFoW&F.

There are two heroines we follow, Sofie being still a mystery, and Romeria, a thief in one alternate universe and a princess in her current, will have to choose her path wisely as she deals with the Fates, the politics of a kingdom not yet her own, and possibly her heart.

And beware… Zander is all consuming. A broken man ready to lead a kingdom of history to be remade. A corrupt government with no one he can trust but himself. Zander is the ultimate hero that you know will prevail.

Read if you love:

-Vengeful Gods
-Rhen from A curse so dark and lonely, but radiating sex appeal
-Royalty, Castles, Court, and Corruption
-a heroine who you actually want to BE!
-a bit of mystery & intrigue
– Elemental Magic
– 🧛‍♀️
-friendships just as good as the OTP
-your next obsession in a series
-a little sweat & sword play anyone?
– From Blood and Ash, but honestly with a better world I didn’t struggle to understand. I was pulled in right away and couldn’t stop till the last page.

It’s almost June and I’m naming it my favorite book of 2021-⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hollow Heathens

“Come with me, and I’ll show you everything no one else will. Come with me, and I will tell you things no one else will tell you, I’ll give you everything, feed all your forbidden thoughts, thing you never knew you wanted.”

No. One. Prepared. Me.

Welcome to Weeping Hollow… where the covens are corrupt, the heathens are cursed to wear masks, the love is all consuming, and no one is safe after 3 am.

Nicole Fiorina does an incredible job writing a modern tale that feels Like Edgar Allen Poe and Shakespeare had a baby. (sounds weird, but stay with me)
You will spend so many moments rereading, highlighting and swooning over this book.

With the dark eery setting and star crossed lovers that are written like poetry, I felt as if I myself was running through the forest at night after Julian.

Hollow Heathens is available in both YA and NA format but listen to me… if you are not faint of heart get that NA BOO!

Fallon returns to her hometown after receiving a letter from her estranged dying grandfather and is pulled different directions by the Sacred Sea coven she is told she is a part of, and the masked man with silver eyes.

Julian has never felt the sun on his face thanks to the curse that requires him and his coven to wear masks… or everyone who looks upon him will die. Jules hands are dirty and he is seen only as a monster. But the freakshow with white hair that just entered town may see through the mask and make him feel worthy of more, even a life without the Heathen curse.
“We didn’t make sense, but as I stood before her, she saw all the things in me that felt too messed up. She pulled me back into the person I’d abandoned a long time ago. Fallon looked past the curse, and therefore, I couldn’t look past her.”

Be warned. You will start this book and neglect everything in life you were in need of doing… who knows maybe you’ll take a second stroll as soon as you are done.
But this tragic dark love story is worth every minute of neglected house cleaning time, I promise.

Why I loved it:
-Fallon & gramps
-It felt dark and magical like The Wicked Deep
-Old literature vibes referencing to EAP, Frankenstein, Phantom of the Opera
-a little mystery and one I did not see coming
-new book bae
-epic star cross love story
-timeline jumps that are SEAMLESS
-I said Julian… right?
-I needed a good deep cry
– it’s on Kindle Unlimited (score) but now I need it on my shelf PRONTO

What was missing:
I just needed more gramps….

Synopsis:

A forbidden, timeless, and haunting love story.

Once upon a time, there lived a girl named Fallon who was taken far away from home shortly after she was born.
A home that held more than strange traditions and bizarre superstitions.
Twenty-four years later, she returned to Weeping Hollow, a town she’d only heard about in stories during restless nights under a marble moon, in the middle of the night to take care of her last living relative.
They called the nosy mortician a freakshow–a ghastly thing.
They said I couldn’t go near her.
Still, there was this aching pull to Fallon Grimaldi that I couldn’t escape.
A nostalgic pull as if we’d been here before.

Once upon a time, there lived a mysterious boy named Julian with a curse as old as centuries wrapped around his soul.
He was one of the four Hollow Heathens, the very dark creatures who caused the town’s people to live in fear.
And the Blackwell name was stained with darkness and death.
They called him a monster. Cold and hollow.
They said I shouldn’t go near him.
Still, there was this aching pull to Julian Blackwell that I couldn’t escape.
A nostalgic pull as if we’d been here before.

Emmie and the Tudor King

Synopsis:

One moment, Emmie is writing her high school history paper; the next, she’s sitting with a gorgeous 16th century king who vacillates from kissing her to ordering her execution.
Able to travel back to her own time, but intensely drawn to King Nick and the mysterious death of his sister, Emmie finds herself solving the murder of a young princess and unraveling court secrets while trying to keep her head on her shoulders, literally.
With everything to lose, Emmie finds herself facing her biggest battle of all: How to cheat the path of history and keep her irresistible king, or lose him—and her heart—forever

My Review:

“But what if being near you is what makes it harder for me to breathe?”

Emmie and the Tudor king is the perfect mix of history and make believe.

Emmie finds herself in quite the predicamen as she wakes up somewhere else… and 400 years in the past.
Can Emmie change the coarse of history to save the beautiful man who has stolen glances, time, and her heart?
Or will the sweet king end up the way the history books write him?

The Tudors may be a baaaad news in history, but Natalie writes Nicholas as the king of your dreams. I mean I like my men strong and in control but… wow… the death threats of the monarchy…

Who knew stares across a room, hand holding and stolen kisses could ignite something so fierce in my wanton heart.

What I loved:

-appropriate for all
-the time period SWOON
-the Tudor Dynasty

-Outlander but YA
-the sweet romance
-a quick one day read that left me smiling
-a little bit of “how dun it”

What was missing:
-honestly, nothing… it wasn’t difficult to read and I found myself doing chores with my nose in my book….. I think I just left wanting MORE, so I cannot wait for book 2!

Thank you Natalie Murray for my gifted copy I will cherish it always.
