  He’s my sister’s ex, a stubborn jerk, and completely off-limits. Getting a man to give up custody of a son he didn’t know existed should have been easy. Trouble is, nothing with JP King is ever easy. Suave, grumpy billionaires aren’t supposed to have strong hands or filthy mouths, and I never expected our snippy banter to be so much fun. JP regards me as something he scraped off the bottom of his dress shoe, but when this reluctant single dad looks at my nephew, there’s a softness there he struggles to keep hidden. He may be gruff and uptight, but something simmers beneath his controlled, polished exterior. Sure, I’m wild and reckless, but when we’re forced together as guardians, everything changes. His cold and calculated exterior melts into hushed conversations and lingering stares. The more we fight, the harder we fall. I’m scatterbrained, unconventional, and  everything he’s been missing.  The closer we get, the less we understand why we were ever at odds. . . . unt...

  He left her behind for her own good. But she’s not having it. After a year of sharing her bed and her body with Felix Jackman, Misha finally got up the nerve to tell him she wanted more. And then the big jerk just disappeared on her. Now she’s at Rawhide Ranch, determined to get some answers, one way or another. No matter how furious she is though, it isn’t long before she’s reminded why she still wants him in her bed—and her heart. But even if they can move past him leaving her behind, Felix has a secret. One Misha never saw coming. One that could end up tearing them apart… for good. My Review The raw emotions between Misha and Felix are what really hooked me with this book. Neither was that good with talking about their emotions to each other person to person. So, the letters that Misha and Felix wrote each other and shared were like windows to their souls. Also, a great way for them to open up to one another.  The intimate scenes between these two are nice. Spicy morsels....

But as I lost myself in every faceless man whose blood stained my blade, the freedom I sought from my demons never came. Until him. Santino Leone fell for the girl I kept hidden behind a mask—the one whose jagged heart was never meant to be put back together but filled with all the sharp edges of his. He was safe with promises of a future I didn’t know I deserved and a love I thought I’d never touch. But when my secrets unravel, and the monsters of my past come to collect, will we rise and reap what’s owed or be delivered into the arms of death? My Review Warning as what happens to Amara in a scene might be a bit troubling to some. Yet, it is not too graphic, and it is a quick scene. Yet, it helps to set up the rest of the story. This ...

  Dear Owen, I know you won’t read this letter because I’m destroying it later. But I couldn’t help but write it as I stared at the back of your head while you flirted with her. Every breathy giggle feels like a dagger to my chest. We were never together, but it fucking breaks my heart to know you don’t love me back. I don’t understand why you despise me or why you singled me out. Fuck, I can’t handle this. I’m in so much pain that maybe it’s time. You know, I’ve been planning it for a while now, but I was never strong enough to do it. Now, I finally think I am. I want to let you know it’s not your fault—it’s mine. I should have ended this sooner, and I’m sorry I didn’t. When I’m gone, I hope it brings you peace, like I know it will me. Sincerely, Kira I didn’t mean for the letter to fall as I left class. I never intended for anyone else to see it. But it doesn’t matter now. Even if it gets out, I’ll be dead by sunrise anyway. My Review OMG. When Kira was writing her letter, I felt...

When I landed the lead part in the spring musical junior year, it felt like everything was falling into place. Especially when my childhood best friend came waltzing back into my life.

Not volunteering to be the lead in the musical with her. Or fake dating her. Except for whe...
