MARRIAGE OF SIN
Deadly Sins #1
Kristen Luciani
Release Date: June 26
My arranged husband is younger, relentless, and absolutely certain I belong to him. The worst part? He might be right.
Adriana
At forty, I've built my own empire. I answer to no one. I don't do love, vulnerability, or men who think they can handle me.
But after an attempt on my father's life, I'm forced to take over his world - the one I spent my whole life escaping.
The price of my family's survival? An arranged marriage to Lochlan Molloy, the son of a rival crime boss.
He's twelve years younger. Cocky. Infuriating. Looks at me like I'm the only woman in any room.
I've spent my whole life keeping people out. Keeping myself cold and my heart protected.
I told myself this was just a contract. I told myself I wouldn't fall.
I should have known better than to trust a Molloy.
Lochlan
She thinks she's made of ice. She's wrong.
I see the fire underneath. The way she looks at me when she thinks I'm not watching. The way she melts when I touch her, even as she's pushing me away.
I'll break down every wall. I'll burn the world for her. I'll make her mine in every way that matters.
But I'm keeping a secret that could shatter everything.
And when she finds out I've been lying to her from the start?
Let her hate me. I’ll spend the rest of my life earning her back.

This is one of those times where I saw the tropes and teasers and absolutely had to get my hands on this book. Despite the fact I haven’t read anything from this author previously, and I am not a huge mafia fan, I was right there waiting to get my grabby hands on this one.
And I have no regrets. The writing was good and I can absolutely see myself picking up more books from this author in the future, especially since I am pretty sure that this book is the first in the series and I am hoping the next book is Cillian, or any of the brothers really.
Adriana was such a great heroine. She absolutely knew who she was and where she fit in the world and that was on top, intimidating anyone who underestimated her. And Lochlan was an absolutely awesome hero. There was so much to love about their relationship and the way it grew and progressed so naturally.
Lochlan was the epitome of strength and yet he had no issue giving all the control to Adriana. And he was so comfortable in his own masculinity he had no issue showing his vulnerability and I couldn’t get enough of him as a hero. I loved how he owned his minor and honestly completely excusable (to me) mistake and then went so far to prove himself to Adriana.
Now the Mafia angle was a little off for me and I felt like it was mafia light but yet somehow seemed to be so much about them at the same time. Luckily I didn’t care about that too much because I was too busy caught up in the relationship and trying to figure out when and who was behind the upcoming dramas. The epilogue was cute and I felt like most of the strings were tied in nice little bows so I can walk away happy and dreaming about Lochlan (sorry honey)
Sweet Salvation by Bella Matthews is now live!
From #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes an enemies to lovers, Vegas wedding, hockey romance.
Marrying my enemy in Vegas was never part of the plan. Falling in love with my husband . . . now that’s where things get complicated.
I’ve spent my life being called out as an ice queen.
I don’t do reckless.
I don’t do relationships.
And I definitely don’t do bad-boy hockey hotties who check every wrong box and skate for my family’s biggest rivals.
At least I didn’t until Logan Adler and his ridiculously sexy face sat down next to me.
One night in Vegas. One incredibly stupid bet. And one very real ring later, I wake up married to the one man who could destroy everything I’ve worked for.
In theory, walking away should be easy, but I need to avoid a scandal, and Logan needs a wife to help him keep custody of his little girl.
So we make a deal.
Stay married.
Keep it secret.
And whatever we do—don’t cross any lines.
It should be simple.
Until the lies start stacking, the lines start blurring, and Logan starts looking at me like I’m not his enemy. Like this wasn’t a mistake. Like maybe I’m his salvation.
And maybe . . . just maybe . . . he could be mine.

Damn this book started with a bang, settled into sweetness and then exploded at the end. And I was not ready for it. Any of it. Partially because, thanks to my goldfish memory, I go in pretty blind. Then there's the fact that if I read the teasers I put myself into a book funk because all I want to read is this book so once this lands on my kindle I just dive right in and live in the story.
Every time I read the St James name I think of Olivia's mum, Scarlett. But Olivia has been a boss babe for these later generations and I had no idea that the timeline for this one kicked off during the previous books timeline. So as I read it I got huge reminders of just how awesome Olivia was handling that situation. And to be honest it made me question why she didn't kick her bosses in the arse and sink them.
Although as Liv said it all happened to bring her to Logan. And damn did that boy love with his whole heart. There is something about a single dad that's not just super involved but is truly doting and protective and Logan was all that and then some. And watching him fall for Olivia and love her for who she was made him even better.
This was such an amazing addition to the series and to the larger whole family saga. I read it in one sitting and am so sad to put it down. I am really hoping for Sarina to get her hea soon but let's be honest I'm going to love whatever this author writes. I just need it yesterday.

From Top 30 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Jennifer Sucevic comes a forbidden, slow-burn pro hockey romance featuring a protective single dad, an off-limits nanny, and a secret that could tear them apart.
BLURB
I never planned to end up pregnant, alone, and starting over. But life unraveled faster than I could hold it together, and now the only thing that matters is protecting my baby… even if I have no idea what comes next.
Taking a live-in nanny job for Laiken Lennox is supposed to be temporary. A fresh start. A safe place to land while I rebuild my life. It's not supposed to be dangerous.
Laiken is my brother’s teammate.
My new boss.
A guarded NHL goalie and devoted single dad already fighting a custody battle.
I tell myself I can handle the proximity.
The late nights.
The way he looks at me like I’m something worth saving.
But living under his roof blurs every line I swore I wouldn’t cross.
Especially when he starts caring for me in ways no one else ever has.
I’m carrying another man’s baby.
He’s the last person I should fall for.
But the more time we spend together, the more Laiken feels like the one thing I can’t lose.
And when the truth comes out, it could cost me everything.
Promise Me This is a forbidden, slow-burn pro hockey romance featuring a protective single dad, an off-limits nanny, and a secret that could tear them apart. It’s book four in the Chicago Railers series and can be read as a standalone.

I really don't know where to start with this review. I love this author's writing. I am loving this series. I couldn't get enough of this couple and I loved the story. But, and I want to put in the proviso that I think this was a me problem, the start of the relationship felt too sudden and I missed out on the feels.
Now in saying that, I got all the feels in this book, they just didn't hit until after the first third or quarter. Until that point I was getting the words but they didn't align with any actual chemistry or event for me. Then Laiken got all possessive and protective and I got everything I had been missing. Once Laiken fell for Kia and actually went about winning her over I couldn't put the book down.
Elody was naturally the star of the show, her relationship with Kia was so sweet and genuine. And Laiken was such an awesome dad. I loved that he would do anything for Elody but he never used her as an excuse to not pursue Kia. All of the hiccups and dramas I was anticipating through the story never hit or hit differently and that just made the story even better.
Oh and those epilogues. Chef's kiss. I can't wait for the next one. Teasing us with Evelyn and Hugh is just genius level meanness. And I'm here for it.
THE DEAN’S LIST
Rachel Van Dyken
Release Date: June 23
AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED
She spent seven years mourning him.
He spent seven years hating her.
Neither of them knows they're hunting the same secret.
They call it the Dean's List.
Not because of grades.
Because of sins.
At Brighton University, someone keeps a ledger of the powerful. Professors. Legacy families. Future politicians. Every affair, bribe, betrayal, and crime is carefully collected, waiting for the perfect moment to destroy the people responsible.
Delilah Quinn wants nothing to do with it.
She changed her name, rebuilt her life, and has one year left before she can finally leave her past behind.
Then Jude Mercer walks back into her life.
The boy she loved.
The boy she buried.
The boy who knows exactly who she is.
Jude spent years paying for a crime he didn't commit, convinced Delilah betrayed him. Now he's back, determined to uncover the truth and make everyone responsible suffer.
Especially her.
But revenge gets complicated when old feelings refuse to stay dead, and the deeper they dig into the Dean's List, the more they realize the ledger isn't exposing strangers.
It's exposing their families.
Someone has been waiting for them to come home.
Someone knows what really happened seven years ago.
And if the Dean's List finally comes to light...
It won't just ruin lives.
It will reveal that some secrets were never meant to stay buried.
