Something Gained by Erin Fitzgerald
5.0
Book 3 of the Wolf Mountain Ranchers.
Seven years ago my life was changed dramatically because of one stranger, only luck saved me then.
I can't run this time, will my Cowboy be strong enough for the both of us or are we both set to crumble in our past.
Emily's back story literally tore my heart apart, she has such fight in her, such an inspiration to all SA survivors & so relieved she's finally found her home with Jacob.
Coops is an amazing addition to Emily & Jacobs story, she brought the light comedy that is very much needed with so much of this story being rather heavy & emotional.

The Devil's Secret by Lilian Harris

Read with caution! Check triggers!
This is the 3rd book in Cavaleri Brother Series & should be read in order.
Jade's story also connects to Elsie's story in Sinful Vows from the Messina Crime Family Series.
From the moment they took him from my arms, they knew I'd do anything to keep him safe.
Only I could save my son, I would give everything I am for him. That is until Enzo, but can I trust him! Or will he use me for my body like everyone else.
Joelle/Jade's story is truely heartbreaking, everything she went through would destroy even the strongest person, She gave so much to keep him safe.
I love the Cazaleri Boys, they will literally burn the world around them for the girls they love & their family.
Although Enzo, Jade & Robby get a happy ending, we are left on a cliffhanger after some shocking surprises come to light.

When Lexingtons shirt is ruined by her drink, he demands compensation in the form of truth or dare.
Will she find out everything was already planned & her future was already sealed!
I was hooked from the very first truth or dare.
Ive been waiting for Lexingtons story & we weren't disappointed.
Not only do we get to see the jokester Lex but also see let Lex that's tormented by his past.
Raya is perfect for Lex, she pushes him out of his comfort zone but centers him & make him whole again.
I loved the details to Rayas culture.

Demons in your mind by Jessica Girke

Make sure you check ALL triggers!
After a mission gone wrong can the Doc bring Nate back from the torture still living inside his mind.
This is book 1 of the Demons Duet.
Written in 3rd person was a little distracting at first but I soon sunk into Lynn & Nates World.
So much so I found it extremely hard to put down, I'm 100% obsessed with these two.
I love that Nates torment can only be silenced by the right person.

The Anatomy of Match Making by Evie Sterling
4.0
Kissing the only real friend I made in college, Big Mistake!
Kissing him again 14 years later even worse!
I ran & our friendship was destroyed.
Now I'm home!
A lighhearted, sweet & Easy flowing romance.
Perfect for YA lovers of clean romances.
Small town vibe with up close & personal neighbours.
Although Maddison & Nick are the main characters, the incredibly sweet pet besties stole the show at times.
So much so they kinda played matchmaker, bringing Maddison & Nick together.

The Devil's Pawn by Lilian Harris
5.0
He was suppose to be her savior, a way to get out of an arranged marriage but he was just another devil in disguise.
Neither had any intention of falling in love, but fate had other ideas.
Same timeline as Devil's Deal but from Dante & Raquel perspective. Which leads into the next turn of events.
The cross-over between series is done perfectly. Connecting characters with such ease, making it completely believable.
Wow the ending!
A lot of information to work through but it's all intertwined with the Messina Brother's hopefully ending up as allies.
We have Enzo & Joelles story next, which should connect more with Elsie & Kaylas stories from the Messina Crime Family Series.

The Devil's Deal by Lilian Harris
5.0
Loved Lilians Messina Family Series & this one works directly adjacent to it.
Chiara was suppose to be married off to Michael.
She was my only friend until she betrayed me!
Now I won't stop till I get my Brutal, Twisted revenge.
"In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours. In all the world, there is no love for you like mine." "A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks"
Even through the trauma both have had to endure, their hearts found there way back to each other.
This was definitely a fast-pulse inducing book, with it being a romance you know they end up together at some point but the journey was something else.

Charlee promised her late husband 3 things & she intended to do just that, if she could!
While trying to reevalute his life Levi spots Charlee & is instantly drawn to her.
Could Levi be the answer to Charlee's last Promise?!
Make sure you have tissues, this book emotional wrecked me in everyway, but there was no way I was putting it down.
Such a sweet & romantic story told so beautifully of Love after loss.
With all the Lust, attraction & instant need he has for her but also the most intense guilt.
Levi was so patient & loving to Charlee, it hurt to witness how much she battled her feelings.
