As the boss of one of the largest security companies, Dean Madddox doesn’t make mistakes. But he’s made a big one today, he’s kidnapped the wrong girl.

Dean’s after Mia, daughter to the top mob boss in the country. He needs to abduct her to keep her safe. However, he has no idea I’ve taken her place. What starts out as a case of mistaken identities turns into us working together to catch a mutual enemy.

Now we’re after one of the biggest crime lords in the world.
We have to pretend to be married and infiltrate the nightlife of our adversary. We’re thrown into a life of wickedly naughty parties where no one judges your dirty desires.

It’s completely out of my element, but we can’t blow our cover.
My first night at the club Dean sticks close, his deep voice whispering in my ear everything will be ok makes me open up to try new things.
Filthy things.
Things that make me blush.

It all feels a bit too real.
His rough hands.
His rock-hard body.
His gray eyes turning me on when he watches me.
Now every night we have to play the part.
But his touches don’t feel like he’s pretending.
The way he kisses my overheated skin doesn’t feel fake.
How far can we take this before we find ourselves completely falling for each other?

When push comes to shove will Dean be the one to help me find justice, or will he cost me everything?

Review:
Triggers: Sex Trafficking (mentioned/described) & Attempted Rape (on page).

On to my review: The reason I gave this book 6 stars instead of the normal 5 that I usually give is because it kept me engaged throughout and the MCs Dean & Sophia’s interractions in the beginning is that they don’t trust each other but throughout the story that enemies to lovers thing between them goes out the window once they start trusting one another and work together to bring down Bishop and his operation and by the end which made me cry happy tears by the way finalizes me into loving the story so hard. If you’re looking for a book that has you intrigues you from page one then give it a try. Also I want to mention this was my first book by this author and I hope to read more of his backlog as well as his future releases. So you can tell I’m a big fan since giving one of his books a chance and I’m so glad that this was the first book that introduced me to his writing.

Happy Reading Everyone 💙

The Prodigal (The Hands of the Potters #4) by Kristy Marie (non spoiler review)

Date Started: March 5th 2023
Date Finished: March 13th 2023

Characters: Remington & Eden

Rating: 5 🌟 s

Synopsis:

The Prodigal is a steamy, frenemies to lovers, forbidden romance full of delicious angst and heart-wrenching revelations.

Arrogant.
Indifferent.
Uncompromising.
Remington Potter was a sarcastic jerk with a body of an avenging angel. He screamed good times and bad decisions.
But that’s not what made us friends.
His saving me that one night did—even if he denied it.
Remington Potter was my antihero.
I owed him at least a friendship and a plastic chair.
But I made one mistake.
I didn’t knock.
I didn’t look away.
All I saw was him on the floor.
Tormented.
Enraged.
And broken.
But that wasn’t the worst part.
I discovered Remington Potter wasn’t the mysterious savior I thought he was.
He was vengeful.
And I was the final piece in his game.

Review: What can I say about this last book in this series besides this is the first book I read this year as I still recover from a tonsillectomy and full mouth teeth extraction over the past two months?…
Okay now I know what I’m going to say about this book which is it made me laugh especially since I already knew Remington’s sarcastic way of doing things over the last 3 books and Eden complimented him just perfectly. They were each other’s Adam and Eve and I loved how Remington was able to change his mind about Eden from the time he met her , up until she does something life changing for him even though he didn’t ask for it which was so inspirational and heartless and I couldn’t love it more. And the last thing I want to say is that this series is so close to my heart and I’m so sad that it’s over now but I guess that’s what rereads are for right? Thank you Kristy Marie for making this not be a passion project for you, but you sharing these characters with the world is just what the world needs right now especially me who needed to know that my new life is just about to start just like Remington’s did by the end of the book.

Happy Reading Everyone 💙

The Refiner by Kristy Marie (The Hands of the Potters #2) (non spoiler review)

Date Started: July 23rd 2022
Date Finished: July 26th 2022

Characters: Astor & Keagan

Rating: 5 🌟s
Synopsis:

Wealthy.
Entitled.
Monarch.
Dr. Astor Potter was everything I despised in a man.
It didn’t matter that he was my sister’s one-night stand or her closest colleague.
I wasn’t charmed by his philanthropy or the way he made babies laugh using those ridiculous voices.
Dr. Potter was cold, detached, and reeked of disdain.
Nothing mattered to him.
Not the messages I left.
Or the tears I shed.
Nothing brought him to life.
Until my sister died.
And I placed my newborn niece in his arms.
Her father’s arms.
He didn’t know about the baby.
Neither did I.
They say love can’t be born from hate and grief.
I’m inclined to agree.
But then he asked me to stay…

Review:
While I was reading The Refiner, I noticed that Kristy Marie sprinkled in some humor with her emotional scenes and then gave us a HEA that I absolutely adored between these characters. Once again Kristy, you have blown me away with your creativity in any situation that you put your characters in and that’s why I keep wanting to read every single release that you drop. To everyone whose looking for a dramedy filled with emotional elements and angsty elements with some steam sprinkled in, then you need to read Astor and Keagan’s story because it gives you all that and more.

Happy Reading Everyone 💙
