🩰🩰Keep Me Safe by Nikki Sloane is now live!🩰🩰

She’s the one woman he can’t have, and falling for her isn’t just reckless—it could be deadly.

Billionaire Shawn Dunn has it all. Command of a global empire. Women who crave him. Wealth that means nothing is beyond his reach.

Yet Kara Hayward refuses to fall under his spell. She’s fire and defiance wrapped in temptation, the only woman who looks him in the eye and says no. It only makes Shawn want her more.

Getting involved would be shockingly dangerous. Kara’s sister is hiding from a ruthless assassin, and it’s safer for everyone if Shawn keeps his distance.

But the tension between them is inescapable. Every touch ignites. Every kiss sears hotter. Their desire grows into something more, something deeper . . . until the night everything burns.

Because the man hunting Kara’s sister has come to collect his revenge, and the price isn’t Shawn’s money, power, or pride.

It’s Kara.

My ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review

Oh my! I did not think the next book could compare to the first, but wow!!! It did and it held it's own with the saga. This book was non-stop action packed thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire read. I could not put this book down. Completely devoured it. It will shatter you and then put you back together again. So much violence and destruction. Just Wow!!!!

This book centers around Jason's brother Sean, the successful CEO of the beer company their family built. He is a flirt and gets everything he wants. Kara is Laurel's sister. Their relationship is on the mend after some tough years of no contact, but they are good now and moving on with life.

Sean is relentless with his advances on Kara. After her horrible marriage, she is scared to attempt anything with the playboy. But danger is just around the corner and they are thrown into a life and death episode that will push the boundaries of the already rocky relationship.

This book was full of violence, murder, destruction, kidnapping, drugs, sexual content and controlling men. Be warned and take heed of all trigger warnings, because there are a lot. But those make this book so worth it. It is full of action, steamy scenes, scares and thrills. It is an adrenaline rush of epic proportions. I recommend this to all you dark romance readers out there. But be sure to read book one, you don't want to miss any of the important bits.

🔥🔥New Release: At First Spark by: Renee Harless🔥🔥

Blurb:

Lark Carrington came to Coral Bell Cove for a fresh start. A fading inn, a quiet life, and a chance to rebuild something steady after everything she’s lost. She didn’t expect her first real connection to come in the middle of chaos.

Holt Wright is used to being underestimated—long before he ever put on a uniform. The easygoing one. The goofball. The brother no one expected much from. Until he became a firefighter. Now, when the alarm sounds, he’s the one people trust when it matters most.

The one who shows up.

The one who stays.

Even for her.

What begins as a single moment—smoke, heat, and the steady presence of the man who pulled her back from the edge—turns into something neither of them can ignore. Long days restoring the Carrington Inn. Late nights that feel a little too honest. A connection that builds slowly… and burns deeper than either of them expected.

Because Lark doesn’t trust easily. And Holt is still learning what it means to be the man people finally believe in.

And when the past Lark tried to outrun starts to catch up with her… they’ll have to decide if this is just a spark—or something worth risking everything for.

At First Spark is a tender, slow-burn small-town romance about healing, showing up, and discovering that sometimes the person who saves you… is the one you choose to stay for.

My ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review

Another emotional and wonderful romance from Renee Harless. This book is full of big emotions from page one till the end. I have never seen characters that were so in sync as the ones in this book. Holt and Lark were characters of few words, but what they did say to one another packed a punch. They knew without saying what words and that kind of chemistry makes for a great love story.

The book is full of danger and side characters with other agendas that really give the story that extra oomph it needed. Along with the danger our characters both struggle with past haunts and are in the process of healing themselves. As I said "big emotions".

Overall this book is a steady but slow paced read. It has a lot of moving parts that sometimes I found a bit confusing in some spots, but this may be resolved a bit in final editing. It has wonderful and strong lead characters and some adorable pets. It is filled with a lot of emotion and dangerous acts with a bit of mystery thrown in. I enjoyed the story and would like to see more from Coral Bell Cove.

⚾⚾The Rulebreaker by Piper Rayne is now live!⚾⚾

I’m the coach’s daughter. Falling for one of my father's players was never the plan.

Especially not Decker Davis.

Chicago Colts third baseman.

Dependable. Steady. The guy everyone trusts.

And the man who’s spent years keeping his distance—especially from me.

We have history. The kind that ten years and a thousand miles can’t touch.

So, this time, I promised myself I'd be smarter.

No getting attached. No blurred lines. And definitely, no falling.

He broke every last one within the first week.

Because Decker doesn’t just show up for me. He shows up for my daughter.

Because he fits into our lives like he was always meant to be there.

Because he looks at me like I was never something he wanted to lose.

And suddenly, the walls I've spent years building don't feel nearly as solid as they used to.

But if I let him in, I’m not just risking my heart—I’m risking hers too… and I already know what losing him costs.

I won’t let my daughter pay that price.

My ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review

I absolutely love this series and this installment just reaffirms my feelings on that matter. I fell hard for the Colts and I am enjoying each of their stories as they each fall hard in love. Just a warning though the ending on this book is jaw dropping.

This installment focuses on Decker Davis. Veteran player and all around grumpy good guy who has secretly been in love with one woman his entire life. Penelope is a single mom who has a huge secret and is the catalyst of all things Foster and Decker. Add in yet another adorable little kid and you have the perfect book. So hang on to your seats because this book is about to take you for a ride.

This book is full of secrets, love, strength and bonds. You will see just how loyal Decker is to everyone and how loyal Chicago is to him. We learn alot more about the relationship between Decker and his brother Foster and all they have endured to become who they are today. And let us not forget Easton and all his crazy shenanigans. I swear that boy is Trouble with a capital T!!!

Overall this book is fun, energetic and quite lovely. It is sweet and romantic, yet a little on the dirty side. But like with all the books in this series it ends with a jaw dropping moment and leaves you wanting more. This book has all the perfect elements to be the absolute best romantic comedy. Here's to waiting for the next book of crazy fun...

Stay With Me by Nikki Sloane is now live!

Blurb

When the spotlight turns deadly, survival becomes the performance of her life.

A single gunshot rings out, shattering Laurel Hayward’s debut as a professional dancer—and witnessing an assassination is only the beginning of her nightmare. The ruthless killer will stop at nothing to find her—determined to possess her or silence her forever.

Enter Deputy U.S. Marshal Jason Dunn: handsome, confident, and far too good at getting under Laurel’s skin. Keeping her alive is his job, but keeping his distance? Impossible. Alone in the secluded safe house, the line between duty and desire blurs into something too powerful to resist.

Laurel needs Jason to survive. Jason needs her to finally capture the ghost who’s haunted his career for years. But as their attraction ignites, the obsessed killer returns with a deadly final act . . .

And it could cost them everything.

* Stay With Me was previously published in 2014 as Stay by Karyn Lawrence (Nikki’s alter ego). This completely rewritten version features new content, more spice, and a point-of-view switch.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review

This book has a badaxx lead female character. She overcomes quite a bit during her story and she amazed me with her smarts and strength.

Laurel is a ballet dancer. A dancer who witnesses a murder and then obtains a stalker. Jason is the marshall hired to protect her and she is not what he imagined when told he was babysitting a dancer. He also did not expect to fall for her.

This book is a nonstop action packed read. It is an adrenaline rush from the very first page. There is loads of danger, kidnapping, violence and steamy hotness. It is a dark read that will blow your mind. Things you don't expect will happen and it will end with a lead into a new story. I loved the rush this book has and it was a well laid out story. The characters are strong and interesting. Can't wait to read more.

🏒🏒Match Penalty by @teaganhunterwrites is now LIVE!🏒🏒

I have two goals this season:

1. Win the Cup with the Seattle Serpents.

2. Get my wife back.

I’ve always been the kind of guy who sticks to my vows. So when my wife asked for space, I let her walk away, hoping what we had built would be strong enough to withstand it.

When she shows up three years later in Seattle, smack dab in the middle of the best season the franchise has ever had, I’m torn between trying to figure out my marriage and not letting my teammates down.

I’ve never been one to shy away from a fight, and I refuse to start now. This time, though, it’s more than just a game on the line—it’s my marriage, and I refuse to call it quits.

MATCH PENALTY is a standalone hockey romance novel. It includes a marriage in trouble (angst), second chances, first loves, discovering yourself, a very grumpy hero falling first, plenty of “my wife” moments, found family vibes, absurd group chats with teammates, and a happy ending. There is no cheating in this book.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Star Read!!!!

Finally the answers to Callum's grumpy disposition are here. In this finally Seattle Serpents installment we get to meet the missing wife Chloe and learn more about what happened and where she has been hiding. This book is an emotional one so break out the tissues.

I have to say when reading this book my respect and love for Callum grew with every page read. He is the most loyal and loving man on that team. Three years....just saying. His character is strong and loving. He is the most amazing man.

Chloe is an interesting person. She definitely has some self esteem issues. She struggles with this and self discovery throughout the book. Callum is a patient man with her though. Loyal AF. Their journey is a tough one, but have faith.

This book is more emotional than the others and feel that Callum and Chloe's story was more in depth emotion wise than everyone else. The seriousness is there as well as the complete Alpha male "don't say shit about my woman or touch her and die attitude." The book still has that comedy factor with the guys, especially "Lawless Lawson" everyone's favorite annoying player. He gives the books a fun flair with his shenanigans. Overall a top notch book.

I loved this spin off series and all the characters. Teagan Hunter is the hockey romance queen. She even left this book ending with a spoiler for the next series spin off, as you will notice they all tie together somehow. I cannot wait to see what is next for the hockey team world. They next team has a lot to live up to, as their predecessors are an amazing bunch.

⚾️⚾️The Wild Card by Piper Rayne is now live!⚾️⚾️

Getting pregnant after a one-night stand with my brother's best friend was never part of the plan.

We're talking about Foster Davis here.

Chicago Colts closing pitcher.

The broody king of one-word answers.

And the man everyone knows keeps one foot out the door.

Surprisingly, when two pink lines turn my world upside down, Foster doesn't run. He steps in, he shows up, and he insists we do this together.

Pretending we're fine is easy. Pretending this is just about the baby? Not so much.

Because Foster is gentle when no one's watching.

Because he looks at me like I'm something worth protecting.

Because the walls he's built start to crack—and I'm the one he's letting inside.

Our arrangement was supposed to be simple. Boundaries were set. Co-parents and no catching feelings.

Okay, maybe a few sex lessons were added in too. Bad idea, I know.

Because the more time I spend with Foster Davis, the harder it is to remember why I ever thought he was the risky choice.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review

I absolutely love this series. With that said this second installment is just as good as the first. So good in fact that I cannot choose which is my favorite. Yep Foster is amazing.

This book picks right up after the bomb that blew up the ending in book one. Yep Callie is pregnant and keeping baby daddy a secret is a must. This book dives into the story of Callie's surprise pregnancy and she now has to navigate a life she never knew she needed.

Foster deals with a lot of stuff in this book and we learn the real reason he left Seattle. And folks it is a scandal unlike any other and could ruin him. Don't forget that Decker and Foster's brotherly relationship is nonexistent, rocky at best.

This book is full of big emotions. The turmoil and stress runs rapid and things are really on shaky ground for the Colts. But things will happen and they will surprise not only our characters but you as well. A since of togetherness will make this team stronger than ever, but it is a new season and with new seasons comes trades. Hopefully our favorite players will make it to the next season.

Piper Rayne has hit a home run with this series. I never knew that baseball romance was a thing, I mean you know those hockey guys are pretty hot. But on another note, this author combo has really done a wonderful job with this series and I cannot wait to read more. I believe baseball guys might have created a new crush for me.

���� NEW RELEASE���� She Married Him. He Planned Her Ruin. TREACHEROUS GOD by J.M. Stoneback is LIVE!

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FG8992L1 Available in Kindle Unlimited

I didn’t want Lilac. I selected her. Sweet. Untouched. Mine.

To secure my place inside the secret society that governs North Haven University, I needed a wife—someone controllable, compliant, temporary.

Lilac was supposed to be leverage. So I lied to her.

I bound her to me in a marriage she believes has an expiration date. She thinks escape is possible.

She doesn’t understand the rules were written long before she arrived. Her trust destabilizes me. Her fear anchors me.

I don’t protect her because I love her.

I protect her because once she chose me, I couldn’t allow her to belong to anyone else—including herself. She can resist. She can hate me. She can try to break what I’m building.

But every shared breath, every trembling touch, every moment she survives because of me pulls her deeper into a dependence she doesn’t yet recognize.

This marriage was never meant to end. It was meant to erase the version of her that existed before me.

And Lilac will learn the truth the hard way: the most dangerous thing about loving me isn’t what I’ll do to her— it’s what she’ll become when she can no longer imagine life without me. A dark psychological romance with psychological horror undertones—exploring coercive control, identity erosion, obsession, and moral corruption. Standalone with a psychologically conclusive HEA, where the damage is acknowledged, the bond is permanent, and survival comes at a cost.

⚾⚾New Release!!! The Hotshot by Piper Rayne⚾⚾

⚾He Falls First

⚾Fake Relationship

⚾Slow Burn

⚾Single Guardian

Blurb

Raising my cousin’s three kids wasn’t in my five-year plan.

Actually, it wasn’t in any plan.

One minute I’m a single labor and delivery nurse living a quiet life and the next, I’m navigating guardianship hearings, meltdowns, and homework I’m pretty sure requires a math degree.

Enter Hayes Carlisle.

My best friend’s older brother.

Chicago Colts newest catcher.

And the man I once kissed and immediately pretended I didn’t.

So, when the custody battle I’ve been dreading becomes a reality, I shouldn’t be surprised that Hayes swoops in with a wild idea—a fake relationship. According to him, pretending we’re together will polish his image and prove to the court I’m not taking on an instant family alone.

But pretending to be Hayes’ girlfriend is a terrible idea.

Because he remembers how to make me laugh.

Because he looks at me like our kiss wasn’t a one-time mistake.

Because the kids start asking him to read bedtime stories.

Because my heart starts wanting things my life doesn’t have room for.

I can manage the chaos. I can fight for these kids.

But pretending not to fall for Hayes Carlisle?

That might be the one thing I can’t do.

My ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review

OMG!!! I'm in love. Can I have a Colt Player pretty please??

This story was pure perfection with and amazing character line up. It contains that perfect blend of romance, comedy, seriousness and sexiness. I loved absolutely everything about it. Hayes and Leighton are just meant to be from the very first interaction. This book may have some triggers for some readers as it does mention infidelity, divorced parents, death of family members and all the hot sexy scenes. So be warned.

This book flows so smoothly and is a steady paced read. The author took her time creating a story that has depth and beautiful outcomes. Her characters deal with real life struggles and use one another to build something strong and beautiful. Hayes and Leighton will struggle as their challenges are tough ones, but love will bring things full circle. The ending is a bit of a cliffhanger that will lead into a very interesting second book. It definitely leaves you wondering which Colt is next. I know I can't wait.

I highly recommend this wonderful romantic comedy.

Release Day Alert!!!

Pucking Tempest by Liz Lincoln has released and boy this is a book you won't want to miss.

Seven months after an anonymous one night stand that neither can forget, Charlie and Leif find each other again when he's traded to the Milwaukee Vortex. Where she works, and where he brother is his teammate. Spicy hijinks ensue.

My Review

OMG!!! If you thought the pre-quel was hot as F, then this book is sure to peak your interest. This book is just as hot if not hotter than it's quickie of a predecessor.

This book picks up where Charlie is starting her new job working for the Serpents Hockey Team. The job she is really over qualified for and not entirely happy about taking. But a job is a job, even if it is with her brother and father.

Leif has been traded to the Serpents. Which he is super excited about since his bestie Wes is the Captain of the team. He is happy to be playing hockey with him again. He is in the zone even though he has been thinking about a one night stand he had back in LA. But don't worry, fate has plans for him.

This book is fun, entertaining and oh so steamy. It has an amazing character line up that is sure to provide many more books to come. I fell in love with Leif from the very first pre-queal book and enjoyed seeing him find his happily ever after. Eddie on the other hand I wanted to throat punch a few times or tell him to grow up. But his reasons are revealed for the insta hate he gives. Maybe in future books he will be a better dog dad.

Overall this book is amazing and hockey rom-coms are my absolute favorite genres. If I had another author to compare this authors writing skills to it would be Teagan Hunter (Queen of Hockey Rom-Com). Liz Lincoln blends humor and romance together perfectly and is on point with her story telling. Her books are a steady paced read with amazing endings. I highly recommend this book to all those Hockey Romance fans. Warning this book contains graphic sexual scenes. sexual orientation and belittling behaviours.

🏒🏒Grumpily Ever After by Teagan Hunter is now live!🏒🏒

An obstinate ex–NHL player meets his match in a cheerfully resilient wedding planner prone to chaos in this sweet and spicy romantic comedy about game-changing second chances.

Wedding planner Odette Chambers has a knack for ruining every ceremony she touches. But her latest gig could be a curse breaker. The bride is her best friend, Izzy, and the venue is a local cidery with the Pacific Northwest mountains as a beautiful backdrop. The cidery’s only rotten apple is its owner, former NHL player Noah Stevens—Izzy’s older brother and a recently divorced, fully committed grump who doesn’t believe in happy endings.

But Noah can’t say no to his hopeful little sister. His decision sends Odette barreling into his life, and she insists on making picture-perfect renovations to his cidery. She’s demanding, irritatingly optimistic, and quite possibly the prettiest woman he’s ever seen. Noah is turning Odette’s head, too, but if she wants a wedding to finally go off without a hitch, he’s a handsome distraction she can’t afford. Right?

As Noah risks a second chance at love, Odette’s luck might change as well. For better or for worse.

My Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Star Read

OMG!!! I loved this one. It was adorable. Noah aka Mr Grumpy owns the Stick Taps hockey bar. Odette is a wedding planner who's career is spiraling and is looking to make a comeback with the bestie's wedding. That is if Mr. Grumpy allows them to use his farm/bar for the venue.

This comedy is such a fun and entertaining read. It is full of snark, laughs, sweet romance and of course, Teagan style, an adorable kitten. If you are a Teagan Hunter fan then you know she is famous for putting adorable animals in her books. This book is full of kitties. I loved it especially Ms. Peaches. That lady is a sneaky little devil.

This book was so much fun to read with it's swoon level a big 10. It has a lot of emotion, tension and sexual escapades. It is a steady paced read with an excellent character line up. It sets up the ending perfectly for the next edition to focus on another Grumpy man.....hmmm wonder who that will be, lol. If you love a good age-gap, best friend's brother, small town romance, then this is for you.

Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Well that definitely turned out different from what I was expecting. I did not expect my favorite duo to be put through so much pain and torture. I did expect and was not let down about Creighton. He was the monster I imagined him to be. But where there is a monster there is always a woman to calm the beast within. That is what Blake is.

In this edition we get more of a background story into how Creighton and Blake came to be and why she was running in the last book. It makes so much more sense now, why she went back to him. He is a scary dude with his dead eyes and emotionless persona. But deep down one emotion burns and that emotion is his love for Blake, even though he is not sure how to express it.

This story has a lot of emotion in it as well as violence. Be prepared and be sure to read those trigger warnings, because this monster is not tame and he will do some damage. Some triggers to look out for are fighting, death by hanging, blood, gun violence, kidnapping, abuse and mentions of rape and trafficking. With all this being said, this book was a 5+ star read and has an amazing storyline incorporated. The characters are badass and I love the alpha vibes. Creighton is like a God in this book. You can tell by how people react to him when he walks into a room. His whole auro demands respect or death my just be your future.

Tijan did a wonderful job continuing this story. She really does a number on her previous characters giving this book all kinds of craziness. Readers who love Tisten and Ashton are going to be hurt and thrown over the bridge at what happens to them in this book. Trust me no character is safe in this one.

Be sure to read books one and two in the Kings of New York series before starting this one. They give the whole story a life and make this book the greatness that it is. You could read this book as a standalone if you wanted, but you really don't want to. Trust me on this, you will want to have all the fine details you can get to truly imagine Creighton.

I highly recommend this book to all you mafia romance lovers out there. It should be on your 2026 top ten reads this New Year.

BLURB:

Grace Hamilton thought she had it all right up until the moment her life fell apart. Betrayed by the man she trusted, Grace’s only choice is to return to the one place she spent her childhood trying to escape. Wattle Creek. She knows it’s not forever, just a chance to reset and figure out the next step.

Cole Flanigan is enjoying the simple life. One he earned on the back of a decorated military career; he now spends his days tending cattle and taking advantage of the peace and quiet on his ranch. But the moment he finds Grace crying and bleeding on the side of the road, everything changes.

Could it be that the last thing these two want is exactly what they need… each other?

Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is one of those he falls first and hard romances. Cole falls the minute he finds a sexy, curvy women limping down the road. Grace is a bit slower on the falling part, but she is not far behind. This is a quick romance filled with self doubt and loneliness. Grace is struggling with what her life is to become. She feels like she just doesn't fit in with her life since the implode. But with the smile of a sexy, grumpy, cowboy she begins to feel like maybe she is home.

This book is fun, exciting and sexy. Cole is so sweet and caring. Add in a baby cow and you got yourself a great cast of characters who will make you smile all day. This book is full of big emotions and Grace struggles a bit before getting a happily ever after. This fast paced read will entertain you for hours and give you those butterflies in the tummy feeling.

I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet small town romance. It is a great book with a wonderful cast of characters. I can't wait to see which sister falls next.

🌲🌲🌲Yule Be Mine by Piper Rayne is now LIVE!🌲🌲🌲

When workaholic best man Carter arrives in Mistletoe Falls for his best friends’ Christmas wedding, a town-wide Santa Festival and a misplaced motel reservation leave him with one option—beg the woman he once rejected for a room at her bed-and-breakfast. Unfortunately, that woman also happens to be the bride’s sister…and the maid of honor.

To make matters worse, the bride and groom are delayed, turning Ashley and Carter into last-minute wedding planners, forced into a truce neither of them wants. But late-night checklists, a blizzard of holiday activities, and a charming small town turn their snark into sparks.

When they get snowed in and every near-kiss feels dangerously close to something real, Carter realizes there’s more to December than year-end deadlines.

As their truce melts, one question remains—is this a holiday fling, or the start of forever?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review

This was such a cute and romantic Christmas read that everyone needs to add to their holiday list this year. It has fun witty banter and an enemies to lovers plotline. It is a great read and Piper Rayne couldn't have done it any better. Pure perfection.

Ashley and Carter had a bad first date and left things on a bad note.

Yule Be Mine by Piper Rayne is now LIVE!

When workaholic best man Carter arrives in Mistletoe Falls for his best friends’ Christmas wedding, a town-wide Santa Festival and a misplaced motel reservation leave him with one option—beg the woman he once rejected for a room at her bed-and-breakfast. Unfortunately, that woman also happens to be the bride’s sister…and the maid of honor.

To make matters worse, the bride and groom are delayed, turning Ashley and Carter into last-minute wedding planners, forced into a truce neither of them wants. But late-night checklists, a blizzard of holiday activities, and a charming small town turn their snark into sparks.

When they get snowed in and every near-kiss feels dangerously close to something real, Carter realizes there’s more to December than year-end deadlines.

As their truce melts, one question remains—is this a holiday fling, or the start of forever?

5 Star Review

This was such a cute and romantic Christmas read that everyone needs to add to their holiday list this year. It has fun witty banter and an enemies to lovers plotline. It is a great read and Piper Rayne couldn't have done it any better. Pure perfection.

Ashley and Carter had a bad first date and left things on a bad note. Now thrown together for her twin sisters wedding and his bff the two must make nice to make sure that her sister has the best wedding ever. Working closely together will either be a disaster or what they need to mend the rift between them.

This Christmas read is sweet, funny and amazing. The perfect holiday treat. A must read this holiday season that will bring much joy to you. It has funny moments, sexy moments and some really romantic ones as well. I loved the characters and the storyline. Would love to see more in this series.

💀☠Behind the Shadows by @jaowenby1 is now LIVE!💀☠

Some of us were born into darkness. Others were shackled.

They drugged me.

Chained me.

Tore apart my mind until the pieces didn't fit anymore.

Then they gave me a name.

Cleaner. Killer. Son.

Monster.

Told me the blood on my hands was hers.

Then they smiled and made me kill again.

And they told me she never existed.

But I've seen her.

In dreams. In flashes of red hair and blood.

And now she's real--flesh and bone and terrified eyes.

But they made one mistake.

They didn't bury her deep enough.

Now she's back.

And even if she doesn't remember me--

My obsession remembers everything.

She runs. I follow.

She screams. I savor it.

She looks at me like a stranger.

And I try not to laugh.

Because I know her body better than she does.

I've watched her sleep. Touched her skin. Marked her without mercy.

And now that I've found her again...

There's no version of this where I let her go.

You don't have to love me, little ghost.

Lock the door. Scream my name. Run.

I've never needed permission to take what's mine.

BEHIND THE SHADOWS, Kip and Holland's story is a standalone pitch-black dark romance of obsession, betrayal, and deadly lies.

My ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Review

Holy shit!! This book….Oh my! This series one dark and twisted mess and I am totally addicted. The first two books of this series center around Death. A vigilante serial killer who seeks justice for women and children feeding his darkness. This book however is centered around Kip, aka The Cleaner, aka Death’s best friend. However this book takes a deeper dive into the history behind Kip and how Safe Horizon came to be. But as the story continues the Devil you don’t know, makes a return and some secrets are revealed and let me tell you they are a doozy. The Pied Piper is playing a tune and is the one in control, more than we could’ve imagined.

In this dark and twisted book of fuck up, Kip’s past comes back to haunt him in the form of a fiery red head. Hollander is running from her past and thinks that Kip is her savior, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact he is the thing that nightmares are made of.

This book is full of darkness and horrors that will leave you reeling long after you’ve finished. These triggers should be considered beforehand and not taken lightly. Some of these triggers include sex trafficking, rape, murder, drug use, physical and psychological abuse, stalking and kidnapping.

Please read books one and two before beginning. Otherwise you’ll to have the most important details of understanding to follow the story along, as it is an intricate web. It is twisted and full of sinister events. It is full of blood and gore. It is scary, intense and deeply disturbing. The abuse is awful and something out of a horror movie. Let’s not forget Kip’s dark sexual nature.

Overall this book and series is highly addictive. I recommend it for all those really dark romance readers out there. It has all the elements of a dark romance. It has hot, sinful dirty sex, murder, sinister characters and twisted minds. I am hooked and can’t wait to see what is next for the three best friends. I have a feeling that Dope’s story may blow our minds.
