Book Review: Wrong to Love You by Ajme Williams

For this review, I chose Wrong to Love You by Ajme Williams.

I picked this ebook from the selection of Kindle Unlimited books.

Here is a brief description from Goodreads:

We kept love out of it.

We kept our names out of it.

And we also kept drama out of it.

Or so I thought!

I met a mysterious stranger on a magical cruise.

His touch gave me the butterflies.

I would immediately go weak in the knees.

But it was all temporary.

One week. That was the deal.

That week turned into four years of raising a kid alone.

A son that reminds me of him and one that he knows nothing about.

These years have changed me.

But my mysterious stranger is still the same.

How do I know?

He just showed up at my client’s home.

Seeing his face has turned my world upside down.

This can’t be a coincidence.

The universe is playing a sick game with me.

So… will I win, or will I lose?

** Note to reader: This series can easily be enjoyed out of order.

Wrong to Love You can be read as a standalone novel. It is the third book in a series that follows four brothers. Dive into this second chance secret baby romance that is filled with so much emotion and forbidden heat, and of course, a happily ever after sure to make you swoon. This is Carter’s story. (less)

I absolutely loved this book!! I need to go back and read the other books in this series. I love stories like this. It had everything I look for in a book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

Release Blitz: Mace by M.A. Gonzales

Mace by M.A. Gonzales is now live!

When two fierce personalities collide,
like a match to gasoline, passion explodes.

Mace
She makes me question core things about myself
The mountain and cabin are my sanctuaries.
My bear prefers a life of solitude, and I'm content being alone.
Then she barges into my life, changing everything.
Nikola. Markus's fierce vampire sister.
Off. Limits.
But the need to be near her is testing my sanity.
She draws out a passion in me, a fire I've never known.
Man and bear agree that we need to have her.
Chemistry like ours won't burn itself out.
It explodes into an inferno.
As a US Marshall, her case takes us to the Bayou. Nikola is dedicated to protecting the innocent and the weak. She's never had the luxury of a protector. I intend to change that.
Danger forces us to depend on each other, and our trust is tested.
When a sinister plot threatens the future of all vampires in Louisiana,
I vow to unconditionally protect Nikola;
Because now, the one thing I'm sure of,
She's mine.
And I'm never letting her go.

Nikola
Something in me changes the second I lay eyes on Mace.
The world sees an arrogant-kickass US Marshall and vampire.
But I'm not as confident as I seem.
Betrayal by those who should have loved me the most has left me cynical.
Mace's quiet steadfastness calms me.
The connection is undeniable.
A triple murder case in Louisiana forces me to take Mace as a partner.
Everything about this case seems wrong, and I need a shifter at my back.
I don't tolerate injustice or prejudice, and I've found too many people look the other way.
But I learn to trust Mace at his word. He will look death in the face and not blink.
I've never needed to be protected, but Mace melts me in ways that tear down my guard.
I don't know if that will save me, kill me, or break my heart.
The clock is ticking on this case.
I will do anything to save the innocent.
I only hope that Mace is still willing to stay by my side when this is all over.

Meet M.A. Gonzales

I love writing books full of erotic heat with fierce, independent, passionate women and the hot alpha males who love them. I get excited about action packed stories full of excitement that shows a couple's journey, whether it be a personal journey and moving on from the past or falling in love surrounded by danger and adventure. Writing about people overcoming impossible odds and fulfilling themselves and their goals is so important to me, it calls to me. It's the same thing I love to see in real life and deeply believe in my heart that we can all accomplish.

Most of the time I focus on stories that have a dangerous sometimes dark theme. Most are a mixture of action & adventure, and steamy, hot romance. Overcoming deep seated issues personally and showing how it effects their relationship is what falling in love is all about. The constant theme in all of my books is sexy, scorching hot romance. I guarantee that my stories will leave you hot and bothered, panting for more.

A loud, tattooed workaholic, I love reading and the ocean speaks to my soul. I'm a wine and chocolate lover, who stares dreamily into sunsets and vows to one day live by the ocean surrounded by animals, the countryside and a big family.

Book Review: The Patriot by Jennifer Millikin.

For this review, I chose The Patriot by Jennifer Millikin.

I picked this ebook from the selection of Kindle Unlimited books.

Here is a brief description from Goodreads:

I’m a soldier.

A cattle rancher.

A Hayden.

My family’s legacy is spread out in front of me, just waiting for me to seize it. If it weren’t for one outdated rule, I’d be the owner of the Hayden Cattle Company and my aging father could retire.

When Dakota Wright shows up to buy and develop twenty acres of Hayden land, I see more than a pretty mouth and strawberry blonde hair. I see a way around the decree keeping me from getting what I want.

And, as luck would have it, Dakota has a big problem of her own. We strike two deals: one for the land, and a second that’ll make both our problems a distant memory.

It isn’t too long before I realize I’m in over my head. I’ve convinced myself the ends should justify the means, but everything begins to fall apart when my birthright is no longer all that I’m after.

I never thought there’d be anything I could love more than my ranch and my country.

I was wrong.

Turns out, I want it all.

Including her. (less)

This is Book #1 in the Hayden Family series. Romantic book with a little suspense. I wasn’t going to read this book, but it was in Kindle Unlimited & I wanted to read book #2. I’m so happy I did. Perfectly written. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
