Blurb

From the gutter to the stars...

Dance has always been the answer to everything.
It soothed my soul, kept me sane, gave me purpose.
It brought the Breakers back to me. It healed us.
This time dance isn’t enough.
It’s time to face our enemies. It’s time I fight back.
But at what cost?
My soul? The death of everyone I care about?
All I can be certain of is this...
I’m willing to do anything to protect the people I love.
Even becoming a monster.
This time there'll be no rehearsals, just our grand finale.
I pray it won’t be our last.

**Finale is book 4 of 4 in this new, gritty, contemporary reverse harem academy romance for 17+ readers. It deals with adult themes and some subjects you may find upsetting. If you love dance, your men on the criminal side, alpha hot holes, and the friends-to-enemies-to-lovers trope, this is for you. Contains foul language, sexual scenes and of course a HEA. For some of the characters at least.**

Review

Signing up for and ARC of Finale wasn’t even a question, it HAD to happen. I needed to get my hands on the final chapter of Pen, York, Dax, Zayn & Xeno’s story as soon as humanly possible and waiting for release day was not an option. I’m impatient if you haven’t guessed. LOL. In preparation, I reread Freestyle, Lyrical & Breakers. Binging the series made Finale all the more exciting. I got to experience all the highs and lows all over again and to make sure I didn’t miss a detail. 

Finale absolutely wrecked me; it ripped my heart out and slowly pieces it back together. The Breakers have not had it easy and this book is no exception. The friendships developed over the course of the series were very evident in Finale and helped to provide the strength and will they all needed to see their plan to the end. 

This book was so well written and such a perfect ending to their saga. Bea did a fantastic job bringing their dances to life as well as their passion for dance. The Breakers books were every dance movie I’ve ever watched combined with an even better storyline rolled into one epic series that I know I’ll reread again and again in the future. 

If you haven’t started this series yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!

No Turning Back by A.M. Madden - "It was about having that one person beside you, who knew you better than anyone."

 NO TURNING BACK BY A.M. MADDEN

No Turning Back by A.M. Madden

Book Blurb

From USA Today bestselling author A. M. Madden comes a second-chance, surrogate romance. 

Helping people is what I do best. I’ve made a career around it and dedicated my adult life to it. So, when my two best friends decided to start a family but weren’t able to conceive, it made total sense for me to become their surrogate. 

Once I pleaded my case, and they finally agreed, I moved from New Jersey to Florida, excited for a much-needed change. But no one could’ve predicted crossing paths with the love of my life, the one who’d left years earlier, the one man I never got over. 

Ryder Carter. 

Despite how much we’d loved one another, life happened and circumstances pulled us apart. But he was back now, in Florida, single and still as gorgeous as ever. Even better, he wanted to pick up where we had left off. He wanted me. 

Ryder appearing when he did couldn’t have come at a worse time. Because, even as just a surrogate, I had to wonder: Would he still want me when he learned I was pregnant with another man’s baby? Would he wait out the nine months to be with me? And even more important, how could I ask him to? 

No Turning Back is meant for a mature reading audience. 

No Turning Back by A.M. Madden

REVIEW

No Turning Back is the next book in the Breaking the rules Series by A.M. Madden. I discovered this series last year when I ha the opportunity to read Upside Down which followed Ricky and Cooper's journey. I "met" Riana in their book, and was so excited for her story. As Cooper's best friend she wants nothing more than to make his dreams come true. Cooper and his husband, Ricky, are searching for a surrogate to carry their child. Riana makes them an offer they can't refuse.

Riana relocates from New Jersey to Fort Lauderdale (Novel Confessions stomping grounds for the win!) to become the surrogate for her friends, but also to start fresh after she is laid off work. Once in South Florida she reconnects with the love of her life. Things didn't quite work out for Riana and Ryder previously. Their love was strong, but their lives were in two different places back then. Now they must decide if they can work now with Riana as a surrogate.

I really enjoyed Riana and Ryder's journey. There was humor, heart and heat. These are a few of my favorite things. Although, I feel like I needed a bit more from them. A few parts almost got me there emotionally, but I still felt like I wanted more. All in all No Turning Back was a quick, enjoyable read.

Meant for More by Liza James - “Sometimes we have to make the wrong choices in order to understand the gravity of the right ones.”


MEANT FOR MORE 

Liza James

Release DateMarch 26

 Blurb

Bloom

Maybe in another life, we would have been more than this. 

 

More than just friends. Best friends, really.

 

Instead, I watch you with your arms around another. Your sweet words and that usual charm directed towards someone else. 

 

It’s okay—I was never meant to be yours to begin with. 

 

Carter 

Countless memories and lingering moments have shifted into a startling perspective. 

 

I’ve spent my years chasing my dreams, my ideal girls, my career in football. 

 

But then it happened, over the course of one night, my entire vision centered around someone I didn’t anticipate. 

 

A girl who has been here all along.




Review

There are some books that resonate with you for one reason or another and Meant for More was definitely one of those for me. Signing up to get and ARC was a no-brainer for me because I loved Vibe and I was drawn to this one by the blurb. I was absolutely not expecting the impact this book had on me. 

Bloom and Carter’s story is a friends-to-lovers tale, but calling it that doesn’t do it justice; it was so much more than that. There was so much emotion, a push and pull that kept me captivated the entire novel. Add in the struggles that Bloom faced and my heart could barely take it. This book does speak about addiction and mental health, so please be warned. There were so many lines that I highlighted in this book that took me back to my childhood and really hit me hard. 

Reading this book and seeing Bloom and Carter get their happily ever after despite what struggles they faced left me incredibly happy. I found myself rooting for them and mentally yelling at them to see what was right in front on them. There was a particular scene that happened while Bloom & Carter are in a closet (you’ll know what I’m talking about when you read it ;)) where I thought I might just spontaneously combust. Phew! The steam!! 

I absolutely loved this book so much and cannot recommend it enough.

Meet Liza James:

I remember writing my first book when I was just a kid. It was a short children's story that my mom loved so much, she took the time to get our friend to illustrate all of the pages. 

I had decided back then, that when I grew up I was going to be an author. Funny how we grow up and things change so drastically, right? As I got older, I began the age old search of trying to figure out exactly what I wanted in life. 

I got married at 18, moved across the world with my husband and spent the next several years trying so many different things in order to find my fit. I fell in love with so many things as well, including photography, calligraphy, music, and letterpress. 

But writing and reading have always remained a constant love of mine. Oddly enough, it was the only thing I never spoke about. I kept it very private, starting several different stories and ultimately not finishing them. I never spoke about what I was writing with anyone, or very very few people once in a while. I didn’t even share what I wrote with my family or my husband. 

This year, a lot of things changed. I found myself coming to a place in my life as a mom, a wife, a friend, but still not as MYSELF. I continued struggling with my own identity, struggling with who I was outside of being a wife and mother. So, I made it a goal to write and finish my first novel in 2019. I decided to CHOOSE my path and create it for myself, choose my identity and allow my passion for writing to come at the forefront of that. 

I am a mother. I am a wife. I am a friend and a lover of many many things. But I am also a writer, I’m an author, and loving every moment of embracing myself in all of those things. 

So, here I am today, writing this blurb about my “story” and laughing to myself just a bit. Because this is just the beginning of what my story was and is going to be, and I’m ready to embrace whatever this new adventure has for me.

RELEASE BOOST! Distorted by Nyla K

Distorted by Nyla K

TitleDistorted
SeriesAlabaster Penitentiary Volume 1
AuthorNyla K.
GenreDark M/M Romance
Release DateMarch 18, 2021

Distorted by Nyla K

BOOK BLURB

This is Alabaster Penitentiary…

Where they send you when the world thinks you’re dead. And trust me, you’ll wish you were.
We’re the stain on society. The freaks, the creeps, your favorite Netflix documentaries come to life.
They lock us up and throw away the key, because we deserve it.
But not me. I’m just a lowly bank robber. I don’t belong here, surrounded by psychopaths and killers with no remorse… At least, I don’t think I do.
Getting by unscathed is my top priority. Unfortunately for me and my fellow prisoners, those in charge are more dangerous than we are.

You see, the guards run the show, and I seem to have caught the attention of the most twisted one.
He has a name, but it might as well be Officer. We move around one another like a sun and a moon, revolving in an axis of confused lust and torment until the truth is distorted, and the thing I once feared becomes that which I crave; my vile addiction, somehow so exquisite.
Reality warps in the dungeon, and I’m left wondering which prison is worse…the one holding my body, or my mind.

**Distorted is the first book in the Alabaster Penitentiary series. It is a full M/M romance, with HEA. Each book in this series is technically a standalone, though they are interconnected, so it will be recommended to read in order, as references to this story will be made in future books.

Distorted is intended for mature audiences and open-minded readers ONLY! If you prefer the same old story, this book won’t be for you. This story is dark, probably darker for some than others, so please proceed with caution, and if you’re easily triggered, steer clear.

You’ve been warned.

REVIEW

Nyla K has done it again. WOW! What can I say about Distorted?! Oh my goodness! Nyla has a very unique talent for turning an ordinary romance idea into something extraordinary. This book was such a mindf**k in the best possible way. 

Dash and his experience in Alabaster Pen was one surprise after the other. If you’ve ever read a book by Nyla you know to expect the unexpected. And you’ll STILL be surprised. The characters have found their way into my heart. This happened so quick. I was a bit surprised at how quick, and yet I don’t know why I was surprised. This woman is TALENTED, y’all. The characters are flawed, but that's what makes them so relatable.

Everything Dash experienced was just so vivid. I could picture everything so clearly and that’s a testament to how well written this book is. The scenes and dialogue. Every single thing has a purpose. And let me tell you. Hold onto your panties, because this book is next level hot. You think you’re ready, but I’m telling you you’re not. So. Much. Yum. 

Dash and Kemper’s journey leads to an HEA, but prepare yourselves for reality to be Distorted.

ABOUT NYLA K

Distorted by Nyla K

Indie author of Flipping Hot FictionI write big books and I cannot lie, *insert smirky face* of the taboo and forbidden romance variety.

I love reading all kinds of fiction, although I have a passion for the dirty, smutty, taboo, and almost any other kind of romantic, erotic, love story. My books are not for the faint of heart. Meaning that I'm still getting used to being able to look people in the eye after they tell me they've read my book. But it's a work in progress.

I like my books sexy, funny, light-hearted, dramatic, relevant, and boundary-pushing... But mostly, I love them unique and well-written! Life's too short to read the same story redone over and over. I also believe in having an open mind, when reading and just in life. I personally don't have any reservations or hang-ups when reading "triggering" subjects. My books are a judgement-free zone!!

Noah & Katie duet, #2
Ex-Con Duet Series

Holding You Close by Kennedy Fox

BOOK BLURB

After serving a decade long prison sentence for an accident that resulted in my husband’s death, Noah Reid returns. Even if he was my childhood best friend and the first man I secretly loved, I refuse to make it easy for him. But the heart never forgets and those old repressed feelings quickly bubble to the surface.
 
𝐿𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 ℎ𝑖𝑚 𝑖𝑠 𝑎 𝑑𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑔𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝐼’𝑚 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑦.
 
Flirting leads to falling between the sheets, and I’m forced to deal with the guilt of what we’re doing. Viciousness towards Noah runs rampant and while revenge trickles through the streets of Lawton Ridge, I realize there’s more on the line than just my heart. While I’m afraid that my son and I will be caught in the crossfire of those who want to hurt Noah, I can’t walk away. 
 
Secrets are revealed and revelations are made but losing him again isn’t an option—especially since I’m pregnant. 
 
HOLDING YOU CLOSE is a slow burn, angsty friends to lovers romance with lots of small-town, Southern drama. It's book 2 in the Noah & Katie duet and must be read in order.

Holding You Close by Kennedy Fox

REVIEW

Noah and Katie’s duet, Holding You Close, basically picks up right where Pushing You Away left off. I’m so grateful because that cliffhanger was rough! I can’t say much about this book without spoiling the storyline, but I really enjoyed the final part of their story.

We’re going to be okay.

If we can all get along, long enough to deal with this shit.

Who decides to get involved with so many guys 
and thinks it’s going to be smooth sailing?
Spoiler alert, it’s not.
The guys are totally going to start killing each other soon.

Lukas and Jensen can’t seem to figure their relationship out.
Skeeter and Marco might actually kill each other one of these days.

I might actually kill them myself.

With the Devils and Psychos working alongside each other, things are calmer.
Well, other than the Psychos recruiting some newbies.
Oh, and Satan’s Soldiers are back in town with a new leader, so that’s just wonderful.
My guys keep showing me every day that this is real,

It’s a shame there’s no hope at saving my sister from my revenge.

Review

I’m lucky enough to be a part of TalkNerdy2Me’s blogger group and got an ARC copy of Ignite Me. This book was absolute fire and I devoured it. From the opening line to the final words, I was consumed by Rory & her men; waiting with bated breath to see them all get the HEA they deserved. 

As with the other three books, Ignite Me is full of possible triggers and lots of swearing. But I’m assuming if you’ve read books 1-3 of the Watch Me Burn series, you’re ok with all that. Along with the MM scenes, this book does have a FF scene so be warned. Without giving anything away, I must say I was thrilled with the developments with a few other men in Rory’s harem. I’ll leave it at that and let you figure it out for yourself. 

Ignite Me throws you right back into the middle of one of the most epic scenes in the series where we learned Slash wasn’t dead. Gasp! I was THRILLED to find out he survived the shootout because I was heartbroken, right along with Rory, when I thought he died. SO MUCH happens in this book that I want to talk about but can’t because spoilers.

If I’m being honest here, Ignite Me was my favorite of the series so far, which is fitting since it’s the finale to Rory’s story. It felt so action packed and full of so many twists and turns I had no idea what to expect next. It was extremely action-packed and definitely NOT a predictable storyline (which I really dig). As I mentioned before, the happily ever after at the end of the book is well earned and needed to be fought for with blood, sweat and tears. 

This is an absolute must read series for me and I cannot say enough good things about it. I’m thrilled that the Watch Me Burn series is continuing because I’m not ready to say goodbye to this world yet. It seemed like there were some breadcrumbs left to get you thinking about Perfectly Jaded, book 5 in the series. I can’t wait!
