He's devious, and my soon to be husband.

Whiskey has a way of manipulating me. He knows that I'll do whatever it takes to protect my family.

He's found my weakness and he's exploiting it. Seizing as he sees as his opportunity.

Now, I'm his wife for the next year.

I'm counting down the days until my time is up.

When he's near, I want him to stay.

I hate that I love being married to my devious husband.

Devious Beloved by T.L. Smith is the story of Whiskey Corton and Lottie Snow.  This book was formally called Cruel Beloved but has been updated and revamped.  Lottie had started to stand up for herself towards her controlling father.  When Lottie has a one night stand with Whiskey she thinks that is it but she soon learns things are not what they seem to be.

Responsibility is the name of the game as second in command to the Chicago Westies.

She’s meant to be the enemy, the ice princess across the hall.

Only when she chooses death over going home, I can’t allow it to happen.

So I married her.

What did I just do?

With two hearts stuck in a marriage neither wanted, will they find a way to make it work or are they destined to fail?

Declan by Cala Riley is book 10 in The Syndicates series.  This is the story of Nikita and Declan.  Nikita has only seen cruel men.  So that is what she has expected from the men she has been around.  Nikita's father is among the worst as he used her as a pawn. Declan is the 2nd in command is a hacker who has been assigned security for Nikita.  Declan goes into very protective mode towards her.  This is a interconnecting series. So, it does add to your enjoyment if you have read the previous books.  Loved this book and series!

And if I don't claim her soon, I'll succumb to moon madness--

a fate worse than death.

My Review
5 stars
Big Bad Boss: Moon Mad by Renee Rose & Lee Savino is book two in the Werewolves of Wall Street trilogy.  This continues the story of Madison Evans and Brick Blackthroat.  There story started in the previous book 'Big Bad Boss: Midnight'  so you will need to read that book before starting this one.  Madi is a strong women who take stuff from anyone.  Brick is wanting Madi but his pack is basically making him choose between his pack family and the women is cares for.  I can't wait for more from this trilogy.

Deliverance by Kimberly Knight

Genres: Romantic Suspense/Dark Mafia Romance

Tropes: Friends to Lovers/Slow Burn/Forced

Proximity/Impossible Love/Emotional Scars

Release Date: April 24, 2024

BLURB

Erin

Deliverance.

“The action of being rescued or set free.”

I never thought I would need to be rescued or set free from anything in my life, but that all changed when I took a taxi home after a night out with my friends.

But the taxi didn’t take me home. It took me to a warehouse filled with women in cages, and I found out that I was the newest captive. I was told I was lucky. I wasn’t lucky. This was my karma for flirting with the bouncer at the nightclub when I had a boyfriend waiting for me at home.

Ricardo

Savior.

“A person who saves someone or something (especially a country or cause) from danger, and who is regarded with the veneration of a religious figure.”

I was a Navy SEAL, trained to save people. After I was medically discharged, my uncle tricked me and got me involved with the wrong family in New York City when I needed a job. Right away, the king made sure I watched him kill a soldier for falling in love with one of his girls, which meant I couldn’t act on my feelings when I fell in love with Erin. But I knew she sparked my interest at the club for a reason. I needed to save her.

Except, year after year, we were living in a nightmare of sex, lies, and murders because the only way out was to make the king fall, and I knew I had to wait for the perfect moment in time.

Or we would both be dead.
