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.

Sweet Redemption by Bella Matthews is now live!

From #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes a single dad, dual athlete, second chance, hockey romance.
Hendrix Sinclair is everything I’ve ever wanted and nothing I could ever have.
He’s hockey’s hottest single dad, with a sinfully sexy smile and a deliciously dirty mouth. One I’ve loved for nearly half my life. Not that anyone but the two of us have ever known that fun little fact . . .
We spent a decade in two different cities.
Chasing two different dreams.
And were supposed to be falling in love with two different people.
Only I never did.
He was busy becoming the NHL’s newest superstar, while I was fighting to become one of the biggest names in professional soccer.
Now, after years spent convincing myself we could never work, it only takes one look, one searing kiss, and one forbidden night to unravel everything I thought I knew.
It also only takes one day to shatter it all.

When I read in Bella's newsletter that this was her angstiest book yet, I so wasn't ready. And because I've had to wait for these books to be written and can't just binge them, I feel like I forget a lot of the small details. Until they literally slap me in the face and I am thrown right back into things. It never occurred to me that this book was happening in the same timeline as the last one and overlapped with others. So the deja vu was real.
I remember Serena crawling into bed with Olivia and I really had no clue as to why. I had this image of her that couldn't have been further from the woman in this book. It's hard to imagine feeling sorry for the heir to the kingdom but oh my heart broke for her. And then just kept right on shattering.
Hendrix made me so mad at him. I had to remind myself that we have all done stupid things when we were young. Especially when we are hurting and think we are doing the right thing. But honestly I still kind of hate him. He made some major decisions and took his sweet arse time rectifying things.
And as much as he explained things, he didn't really do enough to make up for everything. I needed a lot more grovelling. Luckily for him, Serena was amazing. Also lucky for him I didn't realise how mad I am at him until right now because the book was so superbly written that I was so busy being lost in the story I didn't sit back to think about how stupid he was until now.
I really can't wait for the next book. Even if it feels like the few months is an eternity.
As soon as there's a new Jennifer Sucevic novel I'm right there, I always fail to read the blurb. I don't look at teasers because I have zero self control and a habit of fixating on books I can't read yet and being unable to read other books while I'm waiting. So, I open each one like it's a surprise present. Then I realise it's a Railers book and I'm so excited.
Knox and Cheyenne are the main characters in this book but there's so many characters we already know and love, and few we hate and some who's story we needed to already be out in the world. And I love that while reading this and falling for Knox and Cheyenne we also get so much more.
Don't get me wrong, the romance between Knox and Cheyenne was enough. Everything else was just the icing. Knox was the perfect mix of protective and possessive and watching him love and support Chey was awesome.
I expected more drama and chaos from Cheyenne's past as we got towards the end and as I watched the pages pass I was bracing. But that wasn't how it played out and what we got was so much more. We got such an emotional part of Evelyn and Hugh's history I actually needed to go back to the light and beauty of Cheyenne and Knox.
Add in the teasers for Sloane and Jax and I think the next book is going to be all the feels. It already is shaping up to have a lot of great tropes.
I have a dilemma. I adore London Snow's writing. And I am both thrilled and miserable that I found them so early in their career. Because I hate having to wait for new books but I haven't missed any. But this book was too short and I feel like I needed more background information but I also love that there was no unnecessary fluff.
I also feel like things happened in the story and I have zero grasp as to why exactly. But I also kind of don't care because I just want to obsess over how absolutely obsessed and devoted Elijah was and how he gave such great book boyfriendness.
As far as Blair is concerned I don't feel like I really got to know her, maybe because I was so preoccupied drooling over Elijah. But mainly because this book was so fast paced and there was so much happening and because it was the first book in the series there was also a bit of scene setting and secondary character introduction I feel like Blair kind of got lost.
All that said I am dying to read the rest of the series and I loved seeing our Castlebrook couples and Caiden. I loved the secret society stuff and I'm hoping we get a lot more of that in the next book. And honestly I don't even care who it is. I just wish it was already waiting for me to pick it up.
THE TROUBLE WITH FLINGS

Release Date: August 26
Blurb:
Sometimes you have to break all the rules to find everything you never knew you wanted.
Come along for the fun, sexy ride as billionaire Fitz Silver pursues his biggest challenge yet—taming wild child Jennifer Stone. Loaded with heat, humor, and heart, this steamy, small-town, standalone romance is unputdownable. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happily ever after that will leave you thinking about it long after you read the last page.
Silver Island’s golden boy Fitz Silver keeps his business dealings clean, his affairs private, and fulfills every promise he makes.
Infuriatingly so. He’s six-plus feet of gentleman in the streets and an unrelenting alpha in the sheets. I should know. I enjoyed a single scorching night in his bed over the summer. But contrary to him being every woman’s fantasy, Fitz is my worst nightmare. I’m a risk taker, a rule breaker. I wasn’t looking for more than a little vacation fun, but that passionate night knocked me off my feet. When a chance encounter brings me face-to-face with the man who ruined me for all others, I know better than to land in his bed again. Unfortunately, outside my job as a high school principal, I’m not known for my good decisions. Once again I plan to leave Mr. Silver and our surprising connection behind, but he’s annoyingly unforgettable, and then two pink lines change everything.
