Get ready to be obsessed with Bourbon and Lies. 
This book is a wild ride through Fiasco, Kentucky, where secrets are as deep as the bourbon barrels. Laney Young rolls into town with enough sass and mystery to shake things up, especially for Grant Foxx, the brooding ex-cop who can't seem to resist her. 
The chemistry between Laney and Grant is electric. Their banter? 
Sharp enough to cut glass. The slow-burn romance? Absolutely scorching. And let's not forget the distillery setting-it adds a gritty, authentic vibe that's totally immersive. 
The suspense will have you on edge, and the found family dynamic with the Foxx brothers is seriously heartwarming. The bourbon play scenes? Steamy as hell and totally unique. 
If you're into badass heroines, brooding heroes, and a story that keeps you hooked from start to finish, this is a must-read. Bring on the next Foxx brother!

🔥 Dark, Twisted, and Unapologetically Raw 🔥
💀 Mind-Blowing Suspense 💀
🔥 Badass Female Lead and a Devoted Obsession 🔥
💀 Twisted Romance and Gut-Wrenching Emotions 💀

This isn’t a book for the faint-hearted; it’s a brutal journey through human resilience and depravity, following the path of the journal girl from “Hunting Adeline.”

Molly is no delicate flower; she’s a goddamn force of nature, a survivor who’s been through hell and back, a complete little badass ugh I love her so much. She reminds me so much of Fiona Gallagher, and her job? lmfaooo sign me up! (not really, well maybe?) 🤣

And Cage? He’s the kind of obsession that makes your heart race and your palms sweat, I love a man that will murder anyone that looks at his lady the wrong way without a second thought and that filthy mouth of his?? okay daddy. 🤪 but my favorite part truly with Cage was how well he handled all Mollys pain.

If you’re looking for rainbows and unicorns, this isn’t the book for you. But if you want a story that’ll grab you by the balls and never let go, Where’s Molly? is your twisted ticket to satisfaction, sadness, laughter and some really good spicy scenes 🫶🏼🌶️💦

Get ready to strap on your helmets and rev those engines because “Cold Hard Truth” by @evasimmonsbooks is about to take you on one hell of a ride! 🖤✨ This book didn’t just catch my attention; it seized my entire day, compelling me to devour every single page.

Meet Sage, a kid living in a man’s world while tasked with the responsibility of watching over his sister and the Prez’s twins. But when his gaze meets Lyla’s, her eyes sparkling like amethysts, you know there’s more to their story than meets the eye. From playful childhood antics to the gritty reality of real life as adults, this book grips you tight and doesn’t let go. It’s a journey of heartbreak, loss, and the ultimate reunion.

Lyla is a she’s a tarot-reading badass with a fire burning in her soul. Despite life’s curveballs, her resilience shines through, captivating Sage and everyone around her. And Sage? He’s a complicated mix of rough edges and hidden depths, his transformation from enforcer to devoted lover nothing short of amazing. Their connection crackles with electricity, each interaction leaving you craving more.

But amidst the chaos, there’s a thread of destiny binding them together—the undeniable pull they feel for each other and her vision of their intertwined future. Yet, Sage stubbornly refuses to have his cards read making me so damn frustrated at him. lol 🫣🤣

For those who hunger for the thrill of forbidden love, the magnetic pull of fate, and the promise of redemption in the face of adversity, Cold Hard Truth is an irresistible temptation. It’s not just a story; it’s a symphony of passion and resilience, a journey through the shadows of love and loyalty. So, fasten your helmets, rev your engines, and brace yourself for a journey that will leave you breathless and yearning for more. 🦋🔥

If I didn’t already have a thing for bikers, I sure as fuck do now. 😩 What the hell did you put in this, @author.novakane ? Because I’m addicted.

I don’t usually go for the soft guy, but damn, Sayshen has me completely hooked. The way he loves Bex? His gentleness mixed with his determination is everything. And Talon? That badass will do whatever it takes to protect her. Both of them fighting to keep Bex safe and to bring back her fire is just epic.

Bexley’s transformation from broken and bruised to finding safety, lust, and home in the chaos of the Shaw brothers is raw and real. This book was an emotional rollercoaster, and I loved every second of it. The Shaw brothers are pure chaos and passion, and they will fucking ruin you—in the best way possible. Everyone needs the Shaw brothers in their lives. ❤️🖤
