Wreckage Ripley Proserpina ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads I made a promise. Mom demanded only one thing from me before she died—go to her sister in Maine and find comfort with the only family I had left. But, from the moment I laid eyes on Paradise Inn and my terrified aunt, my mistake was undeniable. This place isn’t an inn, and it’s far from paradise. Instead, it’s home to the Wreckers, and my quick-tempered Uncle Joss is the president of this violent gang of strangers. There are rules I need to learn, but the most important is to keep my mouth shut. I have a front row seat to how depraved these men are, and how low they'll sink to get what they want.

Soon, passion turns into something deeper, and I'm faced with a choice. Do I let myself love these men I can't quite trust? Or do I ignore my heart a...

A City of Whispers, (A Tempest of Shadows) Jane Washington Amazon / GoodReads ⭐⭐⭐⭐  Blurb:  A reverse harem, enemies to lovers, slow burn romance. “The relentless clock of fate was groaning over to the next hour, ringing the arrival of a battle as old as time, sounding the final alarm, the final chance to fall to our blades or lift them high. It was repeating infernal hours that grew hungrier with each turn, more vicious than the day, the year, the century before.” The end was here. The great war had begun. I had been torn apart and remade, a marionette to dance over the coals of this world, stitched together by my tormentors. The great masters thought they could break me down and own me. They were wrong. I had won my freedom, my place in this world, my golden-eyed protector by my side. Until it happened again; the grim call of fate looking out at me through eyes of darkness, the great masters waiting with the power I needed, curses and promises in their hands. It was time t...

Kissing Tolstoy Penny Reid Amazon / GoodReads ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Blurb:  Now a USA Today best-seller. What do you do when you discover your super-hot blind date from months ago is now your super-hot Russian lit professor? You overthink everything and pray for a swift end to your misery, of course! Kissing Tolstoy is the first audiobook in the Dear Professor series, and it can be listened to as a stand-alone. A shorter version of this story was entitled "Nobody Looks Good in Leather Pants" and was available via Penny Reid's newsletter for free over the course of 2017. Surprisingly this is actually the first book I've ever read/listened to by Penny Reid. I've seen them around but never picked one up. Kissing Tolstoy was included in my audible plus program so I thought I'd give it a try. I really enjoyed it. It's a lighter romance. Anna is a college student and she's a bit of a nerd. She's like adorably nerdy. Luca is a Russian lit professor. A HOT Russian Lit...

But hey, he’s alive. Something I couldn’t be more thrilled about until he ruins my love life, practically repelling men away with his signature glower. His constant warnings don’t work on Finn though. The basass-yet somehow adorably sexy-MMA trainer puts up with my brother’s attitude to protect me from being used as a pawn in the Dragon’s world. Keeping me safe from this new threat is the only thing they can agree on. But just how far is Finn willing to go? A girls needs answers because I’m ready to be swept away in my own treacherous version of a love story… After all, Cinderel...
