I have been dying to get my hands on this book since I knew of it's existence. And of course it arrived at the worst possible time for me but I couldn't not read it immediately and I feel like I've done it an injustice. I kept getting pulled away from reading it by real life and when I could read it my mind was a mess so I didn't really get to be fully immersed in it until the last 30%.
So I feel like I liked the book but I didn't love it. But I am hoping I can reread it before the next book comes out and hopefully be more present for it. That said i guess I should talk about the actual book and why you should grab it. CR Jane wrote it. The end, if you need other reasons you're obviously not familiar with her books. Although if you've read her other books you're probably not reading reviews. Hmm
Jagger, Jagger, Jagger. Damn that man knows what he wants and literally nothing stopped him. Which is to be expected. He gave possessive perfectly and I loved it. The banter between him and his band of merry men was hilarious and adorable. I absolutely can't wait to watch the shenanigans as they all fall.
Eden. She was a bit of a hiccup for me. She was…… stupid feels mean but trusting feels insufficient. I honestly don't think that she thought about a single thing. And I don't know if it's because I'm suspicious and jaded or if Eden was the issue. Don't get me wrong, nice girl, it just felt like she went along blindly with everything and asked no questions and my god there were so many freaking questions.
Anywho like I said I liked the book and I know my issues with devouring it in one sitting was all my stupid real life's fault and I am 1000% here for the next book in the series and anything else that I can get my hands on.
FILTHY TWISTED DEVIL
Lena Hunt
Release Date: September 8
Blurb:
I watched her for six weeks before I knew who she was. I bid $1.3 million the moment I did.
The anonymous cam girl was my secret escape at the end of long days. I never planned to be anything more than a stranger in her audience—until she put one night up for auction, and I recognized the wildflower birthmark in the poster.
Eden Locke. My little sister's best friend. Off-limits in every way that matters.
Eden was furious. But I didn't bid to collect. I bid so no other man could.
And when her three overprotective brothers ambush us—ready to drag her home—it's my lie that saves her: we're dating. Monogamously. And she's quit the cam work.
With promises to keep things clean and respectful (in my defense, I did try), we're now fake dating with five simple rules.
Easy as cherry pie.
Until our practiced kisses stop feeling counterfeit. Until I'm inventing reasons to touch her, and she's whispering my name like it isn't pretend.
Eden feels it, too. That's why she's reminding me of our expiration date, building walls faster than I can climb them. She's forgetting I built an empire on one skill: making people crave what I'm selling. And I've never wanted to close a deal more in my life.
I'm done pretending—and this time, I'm bidding on forever.

BLURB
I was born into Bratva royalty, but that never made me a princess. My entire life I’ve been mocked and ignored, and the only place I’ve ever felt like myself was at the theater, with a needle in my hand and beautiful fabrics around me.
That’s where I met him.
A stranger with a missing button, clear blue eyes, and a voice that made the world feel less cruel for one stolen night.
We only exchanged our first names and talked the night away over warm coffees and pastries before my life came crashing down around me.
Years later, my grandfather is dead, the Bratva is at war, and I’m imprisoned because of my family. I’m broken, bruised, and forgotten until the new pakhan comes to inspect his prisoners.
Rodian Volkov.
The man I never forgot. Only now, he isn’t a stranger with gentle hands and friendly eyes.
He’s become savage just like the rest of the men who bend the knee to him.
He’s now the monster I fear.
When he tells the Bratva he’s marrying me to bring peace, I’m too terrified to argue.
Because saying no to the pakhan is never an option.

LAVENDER HILL
by Aurora Rose Reynolds
releasing October 13th!
From New York Times bestselling author Aurora Rose Reynolds comes a heartwarming small-town romance about a woman returning to the roots that shaped her—and finding a love that will heal her.
Genevieve Fenwick has her life together—until her fiancé’s betrayal tears their future apart. Now, heartbroken and unsure of what’s next, she looks for comfort where it all began: Gooseberry Ridge, the quaint and still-welcoming hometown she left behind.
Genevieve’s heartache is soon displaced by family drama, eccentric neighbors, and a loveable search-and-rescue dog. Not to mention scandalous thoughts about deputy sheriff Wyatt Foster. But while Wyatt is ruggedly handsome, loyal, and protective (everything her fiancé wasn’t), Genevieve’s still hurting. No amount of chemistry can change that.
And yet, as her meddling, matchmaking mother and tight-knit Montana home keep pushing her and Wyatt together, Genevieve realizes there’s more than just a spark there. The charge burns brighter with every run-in, every word, every layer exposing the softness beneath his strength.
Wyatt has something Genevieve wants. Something she needs. And though her best-laid plans lie in ruins, he might be the best shot she’s ever taken.
