I absolutely loved this book. Gemma and Ryker were childhood friends, however, things changed as they got older and they ended up growing apart. Gemma was definitely not happy to see Ryker or to have him back in her life.

Seeing how much these two had to overcome different obstacles in their life and their relationship was eye opening. Gemma may be one of my favorite heroines I’ve ever read because she is different, she feels real. She is strong, she’s a great role model. She doesn’t let the fact that she is in a wheel chair hold her back from anything in life. Ryker took some warming up to, I wanted to dislike him because of how he treated Gemma in the past, but he made up for that. He showed her that he wasn’t that person anymore.

Only the Negatives is a beautiful love story that will break your heart but also put it back together. It’s a story about growing up, never giving up and being the best version of yourself.

While it can be read as a standalone, it’s also a great series. Elle Thorpe is definitely an author you will want to keep your eye in. Her stories are fantastic and full of detail. You truly feel like you are in the scene.

I don’t even know if there are enough words to describe how much I love this book. I was hooked from the very beginning. I ended up reading it all in one sitting, because I had to know what would happen next.

Theo Kane, this man gave Jesse Ward a run for his money. Theo is truly an alpha through and through. He has a dark past, he is mysterious, he is a broken man, but is also full of love. Izzy hasn’t had an easy life, she is also running from her past. She doesn’t always feel safe, except for at her job at the hospital. That is until she meets Theo, she isn’t afraid of him, there is something about him that makes her feel safe, but also terrifies her.

This book was dark and mysterious for a majority of it, but there were also times that were light. I truly wanted to be on the girls holiday with Izzy and Jess in Vegas, because well it sounded life fun and who wouldn’t want to be BFF’s with those two.

JEM truly doesn’t disappoint with anyone of her books and this may be one of my favorites. Theo and Izzy are two beautifully broken people who find safety in one another. This story was dark, mysterious, suspenseful, sweet, steamy and everything you would expect from a JEM book. It was just flat out fantastic. Not only did I love those two, but I also loved Jess and Callum (plus the sexual tension between those two was fantastic). The epilogue was fantastic, I truly loved Theo in that mode. I don’t want to say anything more and spoiler it, but he was definitely swoon worthy. One of my top reads of 2019! This book deserves a million stars.

If you haven’t read Mafia King, stop right now and go read that one first. Mafia Queen picks up where Mafia King left off. Doe/Alessia is finally starting to come out of her shell. Antonio is intent on making her his queen, to rule with an iron fist right beside him.

My heart broke for Doe and everything that she has experienced throughout her life, but the change in her in is like day and night. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED HER. Doe is strong, stronger than most people. Reading about her finding her strength and embracing it is empowering. Of course, it wouldn’t be a book without some drama and suspense.

I was on the edge of my seat and possibly yelling at my kindle at certain parts throughout the story. Mafia Queen gave Antonio and Doe the ending they deserved. I love the entire family so I do hope that we get more of them in the future. Maybe, a story about Lucio.

For anyone who has read this series and loves the Valenti family this is definitely a must read for you. I highly recommend the entire series.

Love witty banter? Love a sexy cowboy? Love some sexual tension? Love a fiery redhead? Love anything by Kennedy Fox? Then this is ONE book you will definitely want to read.

I was hooked on this book from the very beginning. Presley is sassy, she is hard working, she isn’t afraid to be herself and she isn’t afraid to chase after her dreams. Colton is a hardworking, sexy cowboy. He is super sweet, and the man can cook!? Could he be anymore perfect? Oh yeah, he can. He was the perfect model and assistant to all of Presley’s bookstagram pictures!

I found myself laughing so much while reading this book, but I also found myself yelling at it because the will they or won’t they was killing me. I just wanted the two to give in to each other. This book was the perfect book for reading in one setting, it packed a punch. It was steamy, it was funny, and full of sexual tension that everyone loves.

I can’t wait to read more about some of the other characters in this book **cough cough Braxton** This book can be read as a standalone, but the entire Bedtime series is fantastic!
