I loved Capri and Elias' story! The angst was off the charts, but the result was amazing! The love that these two shared was fairytale, but the road to get there was a journey you don't want to miss.

Elias was determined to make something of himself before he settled down with Capri, but that determination cost him the love of his life. Capri loved Elias with all her heart, but she was tired of being put on the back burner to his career and made the decision to cut ties and move forward with her life. When Elias comes back for what's his, Capri is being stubborn and doesn't want to give in, but she can't seem to resist his filthy mouth and sexy charm. 

If you love fake dating, possessive alphas, angst, and second chance, then you don't want to miss this hot and steamy read.

This book is dark, twisted, and will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end! The suspense of what would happen next kept me hooked, and I did not see the twists coming. 

I loved the possessiveness, the push & pull, but most of all, I liked the light and dark from Ella and the mmc. Normally, you only see the dark of one and the light of another, but when they are mixed throughout the story and with both, its next level. The spice in this book was 🥵🔥!! 

If you love stalker, suspense, dark and twisted, then you don't want to miss out on this amazing read!

I really enjoyed Trista and Wyatt's story. The banter, the angst, and barnyard shenanigans were great! I'm looking forward to the rest of the series with the Fletcher Brothers.

This is my first book by this author, and I'll definitely be continuing the series. I loved Salem and Arrow's story. The push and pull and the love that Salem had for Arrow was amazing. I'm looking forward to Callie's story.

This is my first book by this author, and I enjoyed Luca and Aria's story. After being forced into an arranged marriage, Aria found a way to cope with not loving her husband. I loved the slow burn of their relationship, the way they fell for each other. The fight, the silent agreement, and the understanding made their connection that much better.

I enjoyed Gage and Savanah's story. I felt more of a connection between them than with the first book. Even with all of the obstacles, they still found a way to each other. I'm excited to read Casey and Edrin's story to see if she can get past her hatred about where he came from.

This is my first book by this author, and I'm looking forward to Gage and Savanah's story. I enjoyed Sierra and Jagger's book! I loved fated mates, and this story has an intriguing twist on the werewolf lines.

If you love paranormal, fate mates, and slow burn, then you don't want to miss out on this book.

This is my first book by this author, and it was an amazing dark, gothic, and mysterious book. I don't want to give any of the secrets away, but I loved Corvina and Vad's story, and their chemistry was off the charts!

The mysteries of Verenmore lie dormant until Corvina accepts her admission into the school for those with dark pasts. As the story unfolds and secrets are revealed, I couldn't put the book down until the past and present collied, and Corvina helps to unravel the darkness within. 

Vad is a student/teacher at the school and takes interest in the girl with purple eyes. As he tries to keep his distance, he quickly learns that he is drawn to her for reasons he can't comprehend. He realizes he must keep her safe from his past but knows that it may destroy what he holds close.
