If you're a fan of spicy, thrilling, suspenseful romance, Shattered Veil is a must-read! 

From the first chapter, the chemistry between the main characters is palpable, pulling you into their world of danger, intrigue, and irresistible passion.

Balor is the perfect combination of brooding, powerful, and dangerously alluring, while Ella is smart, strong-willed, and learning to stand up for herself after getting away from her abusive ex. There’s a depth to the characters that makes their connection feel authentic and real.

I was lucky enough to get an ALC of the Audiobook and JF Harding & Desiree Ketchum as Balor and Ella were excellent choices. Each narrator's performance was spot on, with their pacing, tone, and delivery enhancing the story and I was impressed by how well they complemented each other.

The plot is fast-paced and filled with twists that keep you on the edge of your seat. The romance is intense and raw with plenty of sizzling moments that will leave you breathless. Deborah expertly weaves together danger and emotion in a way that makes you want to devour every word.

If you’re looking for a story that will keep you hooked from start to finish, this one delivers. Highly recommend!

The Venue was another great story from Martina Dale. 

Kane was was a lovable and protective mmc and he was a perfect match for the hurt and cautious Ruby. 

We got to experience the character growth and enjoy seeing these two learn to trust after heartbreak. 

The spice was spicing even more than in the first book The Ride, but still maintained a great balance with the plot and a few laughs along the way.  

I was given an ALC of the audiobook and if you listen to audiobooks you do not want to miss out on Sean Masters and CJ Bloom as Kane and Ruby. Both narrators absolutely killed this dual narration audio!

If a well written spicy contemporary romance is your jam the Blackmoore brothers do not disappoint, I definitely recommend!

Graveyard Shift is a fast paced paranormal romance that gives early Buffy vibes in the best way.

Hayley is a strong FMC determined to handle things on her own.

When presented with the mysterious Darius, the best sort of mildly antagonistic witty banter ensues, starting a simmering slow burn that is worth the wait.

The entire story is action packed and keeps you guessing, from start to finish. I did not want to stop once I started and this story just would not let me go. I can't wait to dive into book two!

I was lucky enough to be given an ALC of the audiobook and Maxine Mitchell did an incredible job. She's so good at giving each character a distinct voice it makes you forget there's only one narrator. 

This story somehow gives nostalgia while still being original enough to keep you on your toes and I think any paranormal romance fan will thoroughly enjoy it!
