Mafia and His Angel (Part 2) by Lylah James

​Ayla 

The darkness never truly left me. It’s always there, waiting for the right moment to strike. 

It’s been months since I ran away from the nightmare that was slowly killing me. I ran for my life, straight into the arms of a man who I thought would be worse than the nightmare I’d left behind. 

Little did I know he’d become my savior. 

But my happy ending was ripped away from me in a blink of an eye. I had everything…and I lost everything. 

Alessio 

I didn’t believe in angels. But then I saw her. I touched her. I kissed her. I made love to her. 
In return, she saved my soul. 

I was no longer unlovable, because my Angel found it in her heart to love me. 

I had her…and then I lost her. 

But I will not stop until I find her. 

Even if it means starting a war and spilling the blood of everyone who gets in my way. 

I will find my Angel.

​OMG, as much as I like cliffhangers, Lylah James's cliffhangers are jaw dropping! 

In Part 1, you learn about Alessio and Ayla. Their story continues and their pasts are starting to come full circle. Heartbreakingly full circle. I cried so much during this book, but then my heart was so happy and then crying again. The emotional roller coaster of this book is truly insane! I am not going to lie, I was watching the percentage as I was reading. When I got to 60% I started to get mad that I was close to being finished. I was even more mad at the end of the book. I NEED Part 3 now! I finished this book three days ago and this was the first day that I felt I could write a good review without yelling at Lylah for how it ended. But, I need to know what happens....not like to know...NEED to know!

5 stars, I wish I could give it a 10 stars!

Snake (No Prisoners MC #5) by Lilly Atlas

Picture
​Grimm Brothers MC president, Snake, battled his way to his position by any and all means necessary. He was powerful, respected, commanding; but most importantly, he was feared. Then, at the height of power, one ruthless misstep crumbled his kingdom in an instant. Beaten within inches of his life by a member of a rival MC, betrayed and left for dead by his own club, Snake has only two things left to focus on: healing and revenge. 

As a physical therapist working in the trauma unit, Amanda thought she had seen it all. That is until she met a patient known to her as Nick, a broken man who had sustained the most severe beating she’d ever encountered. Surly, brooding, and angry, he should be a nightmare patient. But under the rough exterior, Amanda couldn’t help but be drawn to his determination to heal. Not to mention he was ridiculously attractive, to the point that she found herself giving him some extra attention. 

Women like Amanda—kind, sweet, intelligent, independent, respectable—don’t exist in Snake’s world. When she offers him a place to live after his hospital stay, he can’t figure her out. The more time they spend together, the more torn he becomes between two realities: a gruesome MC world full of lies, betrayal, and hatred, or a life with Amanda that promises healing and peace. 

As Snake helps Amanda through some troubling times, passion flares. For the first time in his life, he actually cares about a woman. It’s enough to make him question everything. But after leading a life as a dedicated outlaw, is it too late to turn around? And if not, is he willing to leave his vendetta behind?

OMG! I freaking LOVED this book! First, this was the FIRST book I read in this series, but also it was the first book I had read by Lilly Atlas.

This is the story of Snake, the President of the Grimm Brothers MC, and his redemption story. And OH MY GOD, it was amazing! Snake has been betrayed by his own members, beaten, shot, and left for dead in another state. He comes to in a hospital, and begins a friendship of sorts with his physical therapist. No one knows who he is, and using an assumed name, he is given a second chance to truly look at who he is and who he wants to be. 

This was the fifth book in this series, but it was written in a way that I was able to pick up and just read. Snake's character was so intriguing to me, that at the end of this book, I immediately downloaded and began reading Striker, the first book in this series (I'll write that review shortly). If you haven't read any other books in this series, get them now! Reading Striker help me to see just how evil Snake was, so reading his redemption and love story, makes it so much more. 5-stars from a new fan!!

Acquisition (Takeover Duet #1) by Chelle Bliss

A Sexy, Driven CEO. A Ruthless, Handsome Rival. And a Sexy, Uninhibited Weekend. 
Ambitious, high-powered CEO Lauren Bradley is on her way to making her company the leader in its industry. Her team is on the verge of new cutting-edge technology that will revolutionize travel and catapult Interstellar Corp to new heights. Lauren has one problem standing in her way--the threat of a takeover by Cozza Industries, a rival company. 
After hours of planning and strategizing, Lauren heads for a drink to let off some steam, only to meet a handsome stranger. Wanting to be someone different for the night, she gives him a fake name and fake profession and has a liberating one-night stand. When Lauren is ambushed the next day by executives from Cozza Industries, she meets the reclusive CEO of the company, Antonio Forte, who makes it known he'll stop at nothing to get rid of his competition. He's arrogant, controlling, and sexy as hell. She can't stand him. The only problem is...he is the man she had a toe-curling one-night stand with the night before. 
Lauren wants to keep her company, Antonio wants both Lauren and her company, and neither is prepared to lose. In an effort to level the playing field, Antonio proposes a forty-eight-hour truce where they shed their CEO titles and give in to their attraction to one another. Needing more time to find a way around the takeover, Lauren agrees, but a deal to spend two days together with no rules may have ramifications that neither of them expects. 
Acquisition is the first book in the Takeover Duet.

LOVED THIS BOOK!! Lauren Bradley is a business woman, who has worked her way to the top. As CEO of one of the top companies in the industry, she never stops and never has time for relationships. When a rival company swoops in, preparing for a takeover, the stress has her doing something she never would do - have a one night stand while pretending to be someone else. She's not expecting to find a connection to the stranger, and it's easy to let her guard down. The problem is he's the CEO of the rival company - Antonio Forte! And he's just as shocked as she is. He knows there is something between the two of them, but Lauren has worked too hard to get to where she is to lose it all. 


I loved this book - did I say that already? I'll say it again! I felt a connection to Lauren being a woman in a man's world of business - the double standards, the consist feeling of having to prove yourself. Lauren is intelligent and demanding, and one wrong move can make her seem weak in others eyes. Anthony doesn't see her as competitive, but sees her as his equal. She doesn't cower to him, and he loves it! 

This book was smart, and engaging, and the heat between these two was off the charts smoking!! The end - I NEED MERGER PRONTO!!!

Secrets of Betrayal (Secrets #4) by LK Shaw

​*this book contains dark elements that may be difficult for some readers*

Betray (verb): to deliver to an enemy by treachery

Sold to a sex trafficker by her drug-dealing boyfriend, Phebe Lawson possessed first-hand knowledge of the secrets of betrayal. She’d given up all hope. Her life no longer held any meaning. She would have wished for death to come and take her away, except, she knew wishes were wasted on people like her. Until the day he entered her life. He was a beacon of light in the bleakness she called existence. His arrival sparked a longing inside her that, maybe, hope wasn’t a useless emotion after all. 


Heal (verb): to make sound or whole

Donovan Jeffries was the charming one. The flirty, social Dom of the local BDSM club, Eden. He thought he’d found the perfect submissive. Until she betrayed him with another. He closed himself off, vowing to never give his heart to another woman. Until the day she entered his life. Her despair touched a part of his soul he’d thought forever lost, and he would move heaven and earth to piece all her broken parts back together.

Picture
LK Shaw has quickly become one of my favorite "I have to read" romance authors; but this book is the best one I have read to date. 

Phebe Lawson is found after being sold as a sex slave. She is withdrawn and distrustful, but she is willing to testify against her former boyfriend for his part in her abduction. She is put into witness protection, and is left to heal, with the only contact being that of Donovan Jeffries, the attorney in charge of prosecuting. Donovan can't help but be drawn to Phebe's strength and spirit. As a Dom, he feels the need to take care of her and protect her, but he was betrayed by his last submissive and is not willing to trust Phebe completely. And Phebe isn't ready to trust him either. 

This is a dark expansion for LK Shaw, and she really shows her writing abilities. Secrets of Betrayal is not rushed in its treatment of Phebe's abuse and 
gradual progression for healing and trusting; and Donovan's understanding and gentleness had me falling in love with him. 5-stars!  ​

They call me savage. An untamed beast.
I was born in the cage. Born to fight. Born to carry its name.
Locked away, I’ve spent years waiting for my mate.
I'm pent up with need. Brimming with desire.
All I want is her... That beautiful girl from the picture on my prison wall.
Now she’s finally here, sharing a cell.
So close. So hard to resist.
But one thing’s for sure…
Even if she doesn’t know it yet, she’s already mine.

Dark and suspenseful just like I like a story to be. Ella sees the aftermath of her young sister's death. The feelings of guilt and remorse leave her mute. Fast-forward many years later, and Ella is kidnapped from her bedroom and awakens in a cage, next to a man stuck in his own cage.

​Communication is difficult, even when a third person is thrown into an adjoining cage.  He is illiterate, she can't speak, and the other person is blind. Eventually, Ella learns the man's name is Cage and starts to learn to trust him, so much so that she can speak in his presence. Until she learns the real reason she was kidnapped. 

Dark, gritty, and suspenseful. I loved every minute of it. 5-stars.

Fantasies, we all have them, but Emma Rochester craved for hers to come true. She's been dreaming of Trent's Halloween part for over a year and she finally received her invite. Yet, now there's Jacob Hendricks, the quiet, mysterious man at work who keeps casting furtive glances her way. In order to have one, she has to give up on the other, but which should she choose.

This was a fun and interesting read. Emma Rochester is sexually in tune to what she wants. She enjoys sex! It's that plain and simple. But she has one fantasy that she hopes she can experience at an exclusive Halloween party. Weeks before the event, she becomes unnerved by a new co-worker, Jacob Hendricks. He's shy, and a good guy, and he has a tendency to just stare at her. So much so, he creeps her out. After working together and talking with Jacob, Emma starts to see more in him. But she has one rule about dated - no dating co-workers; and the big party is coming up too. 

This was a great short book. Both characters where enjoyable. Emma was a tough woman who enjoys having fun; and Jacob may be quiet on the outside, but he a macho alpha in private. 5-stars.
