A.R. Thomas pens a heck of a mafia romance. It is fast-paced and sucks the reader in hard. I enjoyed if so much and was so thoroughly engrossed I finished this book in one sitting. I highly recommend following this author and diving into this series. The age-old tale of a beauty taming a beast was perfection.

I have only had the advantage of reading Vengeful Ties by Emmaleigh Loader so far. But base of the short detailed pack of her story which was published in this, I will be back for more. Emmaleigh was able to write a short addicting story that left you wanting to binge read all her other books. I think she also did a great job.

Ante by EM Shue
This is definitely a five-star read.
From the first moment Andrei saw Sparrow he knew that she was his but he will have to wait until she turns 18.
Sparrow has not had an easy life and with a brother who takes everything she has she keeps her head down, that is until she sees Andrei. She feels safe with him watching over her but can he stop the demon close to her.
Plenty of drama and suspense but also a love that won't be denied.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

Reviewing for the Bratva’s Enforcer by LK Shaw & Rachel Everly.

I was drawn in right away to Natalya and Sasha’s story. Natalya gets more than she bargained for one night going into her Dad’s shop. Sasha is their to do a job, but ends up cutting a deal with Natalya instead. Tension between them is high. I love how strong Natalya was and how she didn’t back down. It was also interesting to see the effects she had on Sasha as well. It was intense and suspenseful, and had me wanting more.

Alessia Black
Oh I was so not expecting this story in the Vows and Vendetta's Anthology to be what it was. I love that we finally get the background story of Alessia from first meeting her in the King's Wolves MC series. I can't wait to see how her story continues to unfold.

****This review is for A.R. Thomas "Amidst the Chaos"****
A short arranged marriage story that had plenty of angst. Neither Cara nor Ronan wanted together married but they did it anyway.
It was dark, it was gritty and it was good. They both learned about each other and their feelings changed. Ronan was ruthless and cold blooded. He came to care for Cara and vowed not to let anything happen to her.
Cara was still timid, but was becoming stronger and you could see that over time they'd become a team.
Really well written story, would love to see this expanded on, I think it would be great!

Please note that authors were allowed to provide an ARC of their individual submissions to some of their readers. I received a copy of Amidst the Chaos by A. R. Thomas. Vows and Vendettas releases on July 11, 2023.

The book has a marriage of convince, enemies to lovers, a FMC with a traumatic past, a MMC with possessive alpha hole vibe, and dark mafia romance. Absolutely, loved it. Can’t wait to read all of Vows and Vendettas.

 Review for Mr. Big by Bella Di Corte.

This story is absolutely phenomenal. Leonora is amazing. I love her strength and who she is overall. Tullio Biggati "Mr Big" is exceptional. His is so perfect and magnificent. Leonora and him are extraordinary together. From the moment they meet their connection is so remarkable and intense. I love how Leonora can hold her own and the Tullio loves and respects that about her. I love how Bella connected The Fausti family and Corrado from Mercenary to the characters in the book.

Bella Di Corte always hits the mark. Her books are truly one of the bests books I have read. I can always count on her to write a beautiful, heartfelt, and authentic story. Every single one of her books has made an impact on me.

I voluntarily reviewed this book after receiving ARC.

The Bratvas Enforcer by L.K Shaw and Rachel Everly 
Really short and sweet. Sasha and Natalya had amazing chemistry. Loved how he was always sweet to her and very supportive. They both have liked each other for years and I'm happy they finally got together. 
They were just perfect together. I would love a full length novel on them. Would do anything to see them as parents. 
If u want a short, sweet story full of chemistry this one is for you!!

Review for The Bratva’s Enforcer by LK Shaw and Rachel Everly

When Natalya, the female lead, finds her father has stolen from the Bratva, she immediately offers herself as a sacrifice. Sasha, the male lead, has been intrigued by Natalya for years but refused to act, since he’s sixteen years older. But he accepts her offer, taking what is offered and determined to find a way to keep her…

This short story is dual POV, well written and edited, and a sexy standalone. I enjoyed Natalya’s willingness to care for her family and her unwilling attraction to Sasha. I enjoyed Sasha’s self-control and determination to seduce Natalya. I enjoyed the relationship development and the consent focus. I enjoyed the erotic intimate scenes. 

I received a complimentary copy from the authors and this is my voluntary honest review.
