Natalia is seeking safety from her ex, Vinny, when she runs to her best friends father, Cristian, for help. Only his help comes with a price. Natalia knows she made a mistake when it comes to Vinny, but she isn’t going to give into Cristian and his demands easily.

The chemistry between Natalia and Cristian is off the charts. I love that Natalia isn’t afraid to stand up to Cristian and isn’t afraid to make her own demands when it comes to end. Cristian is definitely one that isn’t for relationships and he is all about running his Family, however, I loved seeing how he softens slightly when it comes to Natalia throughout the story, but still has the alpha personality.
There is just so much to love about this book. I couldn’t get enough of it and struggled to put it down. I’m definitely intrigued by Benny, so I can’t wait for his story!

If you’re looking for a dark, mafia, age gap, marriage of convenience, forced proximity, forbidden romance this is one to check out.

I absolutely LOVED Tristian and Belle from the start. These two are HOT together and heating up the pages.

I adored Belle. She can hold her own. She loves street bikes. Pretty much just a BA. Tristian is complex. He has the playboy persona, but his heart has always belonged to one person and that is Belle.

Forbidden relationship as teenagers, that eventually ended in heartbreak, but two decades later they found themselves together again. This time to get married and to produce a bloodline heir. There is a lot of pain and heart break between them and a lot that they really need to discuss, yet there is still a TON of chemistry between them and they are still drawn to each other.

Tristian is determined to prove that Belle that he has always loved her and to get her to fall back in love with him. This time as husband and wife. Plus, he also isn’t wasting any time on getting started on the heir.

Sutton and Brody have known each other for years. They have crushed on each other for years. When one night they share something amazing, only for Brody to completely change everything and the course of both their lives…..

I love these two so much. Sutton has been through a lot when it comes to her ex, but I love how supportive and helpful Brody is. These two have such a strong connection and chemistry with each other. Brody is just swoony. You can feel the love he has for Sutton and that he would really do anything for her.

I love that there is a little bit of suspense mixed into this story, though it is very, very light. It gave a little bit some mystery to their story and really brought out the protective side to Brody.

This one is easily my favorite of the series so far, but I can’t wait for Palmer’s story! I love how well this series ties together and should be read in order to really understand!

If you’re looking for a small town, marriage of convenience, friends to lovers, second chance romance this is one to check out.

The suspense, the chemistry, the emotion. I loved everything about this story.

Emmett and Blakely have a history together. They were in the military together, they were best friends, but they are also husband and wife. They just haven’t seen each other for years, but now their paths cross again. I love Emmett and Blakely. I loved their history together, I loved seeing them reconnect with each other. Though, it wasn’t also easy for the two of them.

Blakely is pretty much a BA. I love her. She was a combat medic, which is where her and Emmett met, and now she is a PI and really she proved time and time again that she can really handle things herself. I may have a slight girl crush on her. Emmett, he is just easy to love. The man is protective and when he loves he loves, even if it may be something that hurts him.

This story is a rollercoaster from start to finish with your emotions. There were times I was questioning on if Emmett and Blakely would ever get the HEA they both deserve. There is a lot of baggage that they need to work through and at one point I was yelling in my head with the turn the story took….there were a lot of not so nice things being said and my heart was absolutely broken. IYKYK.

Eva’s story has been the one I’ve been most excited about.

Eva and Matt have a friends with benefits arrangement and both of them are fine with their arrangement and neither of them wants more in their lives. However, things change and Matt needs a wife and heir. It was just supposed to be a temporary arrangement but not everything works out as planned.

Eva and Matt’s story goes from fwb to marriage and even a child on the way pretty quick, but during that time their connection and their chemistry continues to grow stronger and more feelings begin to develop. Everything moves at a fairly rapid place.

There is plenty of chemistry, hilarious conversations, some spice, and swoon.

Cora and Pike’s story has been my favorite out of this group! A drunken Vegas wedding , that turns into a secret relationship into something more. But there are plenty of ups and downs and laughs along the way.

I loved Pike. He is the tattooed British bad boy history teacher. However, there is a lot more to him and I loved getting to know him throughout this story. Side note, I also loved his unlikely friendship with Keiko! I wasn’t expecting that, but I was all for it. I also really loved Cora. She is newly divorced, she has been hurt in the past when it comes to relationships and really hasn’t had the best experiences growing up, which also leads to her rather overprotective big brother, Arlo.
Yet, she is full of life and absolutely hilarious. She just wants her chance at freedom and happiness.

There has been chemistry between Pike and Cora since they met. So it only makes sense when the both end up in Vegas that things end up where they did, plus with some fireball involved that definitely will help. The tea…..I was DYING (seriously, if you have read it you know). There is steam, plenty of laughs and plenty of swooning where Pike is concerned.

I loved every single moment of this story. From start to finish it was absolutely fantastic.

Billie…I absolutely love her. She is a business owner, a successful one at that, she is a BA, she is selfless, and I loved her little revenge plan. However, she is also guarded and has some high walls up to protect herself. Colby, it is so easy to love him. He works hard, he is a great father, he is patient and caring. I love that he didn’t push Billie.

From the moment they meet there was an attraction between Billie and Colby, even if their first meeting was less than fantastic. I loved how their friend progressed and their relationship with the undates they went on. There is a ton of chemistry and I love the build up from the start.

Billie and Saylor’s connection was also adorable. I love how well the two of them bonded. There was never any hesitation on Billie’s end when it came to Saylor and Saylor was instantly drawn to Billie. Plus, Saylor is just the cutest little girl ever.

If you’re looking for a single dad, friends to lovers, opposites attract romance this is one to check out.

Ian has the bad boy reputation and fits the image, however, thanks to the past year the Bruisers management doesn’t appreciate the image out there to the public. However, there is a lot more to the man beneath what you see on the outside. Vera loves fashion and the confidence that it can give someone. Even, though she struggles with that on her own.

The moment they crossed paths I absolutely loved the two of them together. Thanks to being the only single people on group vacation to Italy they end up spending a lot of time together and things shift between the two of them.

This is just a great story full of great banter, lots of chemistry, seduction, and an Italian vacation.

Max is a workaholic, but he loves his daughter, Everly, more than anything. Having the entire summer with her is great, but he also needs a nanny. When Cozy shows up for the nanny interview and is rather unconventional he isn’t impressed, but Everly is.

I loved Max. Even though a lot of his focus has been on his work, I love that throughout the course of the story he let down walls and realized that there is more to life than spending it at the office. Cozy has been through a lot, so I was curious to find out what happened in her past and lead her on the path of where she is now. It did take some time for me to warm up to Cozy, at the start of the book she just felt very immature, but as it continued and you learn about her past I started to warm up to her.

Max and Cozy definitely have chemistry. There is a time or two that is truly heating up the pages when it comes to them. There are also plenty of ups and downs when it comes to them as well. They want different things and Cozy isn’t into the whole corporate life that Max is living.

I love how well Everly and Cozy bonded. They had an instant connection from the start. They both helped each out so much throughout their time together. Everly may have needed a nanny, but the two of them need this time together.

While under the influence of some cold meds Jovie accidently tags herself in the engagement photo of her ex and this moment opens up things from the past that Jovie wasn’t expecting, including her ex’s best friend Stone.

Stone and Jovie have a long history together, though it has now been several years since they have seen or spoken to each other. They aren’t really enemies, but they aren’t really friends either. But they are complete opposites of each other. Jovie is a romance author and Stone is a divorce attorney. She is full of sunshine and happiness and Stone is somewhat cold and closed off.

I loved Stone. He had a lot of layers and I loved that they were slowly uncovered and he really wasn’t as cold as he seemed. Especially when it came to Jovie. Not to mention he was a great friend to Jude, even though Jude wasn’t the greatest person a majority of their friendship. I loved Jovie, too. She was a ball of happiness and even though she hasn’t had the best of luck when it comes to relationships she never let that get her down. There is a ton of chemistry between Stone and Jovie and while their personalities were opposites they shared a lot of the same interests.
