The Debt ~ Karina Halle

Her life changed in an instant. 

And he's the only one who could have prevented it. 

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Pact and The Lie comes a new standalone contemporary romance about those McGregor men. 

Jessica Charles shouldn't have even been in London when the unthinkable happened. 

She should have been back at home in Edinburgh, perhaps hanging with her boyfriend, preparing the baby shower for her sister or doing yoga with her group of friends. She should have been going on in her normal, dependable life as always. 

But on that fateful day in August, when a mentally-ill ex-soldier opened fire in public, Jessica's world changed forever. 

Now single and crippled from the gunshot wounds, Jessica finds herself scared and alone, losing faith in herself and humanity with each agonizing moment that passes. 

That is until a stranger enters her life. A stranger who makes her live again. 

Keir McGregor has always been the strong, silent type. Throw in tall, dark, and handsome and you've got pretty much the perfect Scotsman. 

Except Keir is anything but perfect. He's got a past he's running away from and a guilty conscience he can't seem to shed. But the more time he spends with Jessica, the more he falls in love with her. 

And the more his secret threatens to tear them apart. 

He may have been a stranger to her. 

But she’s never been a stranger to him.

What an amazing story.. I FELT the connection between these two broken characters
right from the start..
This one blew it right out of the park!!

The opening to this story was gut wrenching and utterly raw..
we hear about it on the news so much more frequent now..
I for one always wondered about the survivors of these horrendous radical crimes ..
what of the family and friends of the offender.. how it all impacts everyone involved..
How could anyone deal with this not just physically but mentally!

Guilt is a very ugly thing - something that can consume you.. mix that with lies & secrets and you have a concoction you might never be able to run away from!!

I won't get into the story other than to stay I absolutely loved it..
It was so beautiful to see Jessica and Keir slowly fall in love but I was also on the edge of my seat waiting for all hell to break loose and the shit hit the fan!!

It was emotional, real, raw, sexy, inspiring and the feels just kept coming out of everywhere!!
It's a must read for Karina Halle fans she's out done herself again!!

Knot (Wake Family, #1) ~ M. Mabie

He knows everything.
She has all the damn answers. 

I’ve always been a free spirit. It’s my nature.
I crave control, but with her it’s far more. 

He’s a power hungry climber.
Her wealth could buy and sell me. 

It’s too much pressure being the center of anyone’s focus.
She underestimates my desire for her, my need to please just her. 

When he’s vulnerable, it’s hard to deny him.
Her crooked smile cripples me. 

He hides his demons, but I’m no fool.
She thinks not committing to anyone makes her more honest. She’s wrong. 

A man like him deserves someone who can offer that kind of love.
She promises nothing, yet I feel like a king when she says my name. 

I never let anyone possess me like he did. Not before. Not after.
My greatest regret was compromising. I should have never held back. 

Still, when we’re apart I’m not myself.
I miss the days when she was just down the hall. 

He’s better off without me, and it hurts.
The ugly truth is I need her more than she needs me. 

Our relationship was born out of lust and curiosity.
The lies we told ourselves killed it. 

Together, we found Nirvana.
We learned it was all a mirage. 

I ruined him.
I broke her heart. 

I keep coming back.
I can’t let her go. 

KNOT is a contemporary romance and a complete standalone. It is the first spin-off from the best-selling Wake Series. You do not need to read BAIT, SAIL, or ANCHOR to enjoy this book in its entirety, but if you love angst you'll enjoy them, too. 

First I want to say that even though this was a stand alone spin off 

It takes off right after someones **ahem** wedding...

I was team Reagan & Nora as soon as I met them!!

This book consumed me I was hoping and wishing for their HEA through out!!

And the Angst oh boy the Angst..

I was smirking one second and blurting out WTF's the next 

This was filled with TONS & TONS of feels!!

Nora's exterior portrayed this very sexually independent female

She didn't beat around the bush about her NON EXISTANT expectations when it came to relationships.. And lived her life as such without a care, no strings attached

what will be will be!!!!

Reggie on the other hand lived a controlled life, a numbers man.. Very Confident and sure of himself a total ALPHA!!! with some quirks...he did not want to put up with Nora's games anymore and made that very clear.. Also made her very aware that he wanted HER!!..

Both of these characters were so strong and stubborn but true to themselves 

they both kept me flipping pages

wanting to throttle them both yes BOTH!!!

Events occurred, situations where taken as challenges and finally 

Sweet Sweet Victory!!

There is so much to look forward to in this book!!

Love, Angst, Sexy times, Scorching HOT times,

Hilarious moments, WTF!!!! moments, Total Yummy Alpha moments and 

a heroine you will like no matter her faults!!

M. Mabie has proven to me that she's an auto buy author..

I fell in love with her writing when I picked up The Wake series earlier this year 

and it became abundantly clear after reading Knot that she's just that amazing!!!!

The Enforcer (Untamed Hearts, #3) ~ Kele Moon

They are the lost boys.

Sons of mafia mistresses expected to keep their fathers’ sins in the shadows. The lucky ones are forgotten.

Unfortunately for Valentino “Tino” Moretti, his brother Nova was too smart to be forgotten, and too valuable to risk when he resists a life of crime. So they punished Tino instead. Forced into the cruel world of the Sicilian Mafia at twelve, Tino was broken before he was old enough to know the man he was supposed to be. Now he’s what the mafia made him.

The enforcer.

A trained killer forbidden to love, but he did anyway. He's loved Brianna all along.

Raw and beautiful, their romance was all consuming and far too dangerous. They were ripped apart a long time ago. It’s not until the borgata puts out a hit on her that Brianna falls back into Tino’s arms, churning up their dark past and unraveling all the Moretti brothers’ closely guarded secrets.

This isn’t the end of the story. It’s only the beginning, and it is brutal.

There’s a reason enforcers are considered too deadly to love.

This story has wrecked me!! I laughed, I cried, I bitched

One never knows what a person has gone through by just looking at them..

Family is everything to Tino.. Not just his brother's but those he consider's true friends

The bond and loyalty Tino has displayed over and over again, words could never describe..

He's all about actions and sacrifice!!

He was broken as a child and practically forced into a lifestyle he had no other choice but take on or risk not being there for his brothers.. He carried so much on his shoulders at such an early age,, and basically got the shorter end of the stick every single time he drew!!!

Brianna was his oasis in the dry and dissolute world he found himself stranded in..

And that too was ripped away without his even realizing it!!

Lies, Deception, Secrets..

Will Tino ever get his HEA?

Will Brianna be strong enough to take on what's to come?

I sure as hell hope so... 

I need part 2 NOW!!!

Fighting Solitude (On the Ropes, #3) ~ Aly Martinez

I was born a fighter. Abandoned by my parents, I spent my life forging my own path—one guided by my fists and paved with pain. 

Untouchable in the ring, I destroyed everyone who faced me, but that’s where my victories ended. Outside the ropes, I repeatedly failed the few people who loved me. Including my best friend, Liv James—the one person I’d die to protect. 

Even though I didn’t deserve her, Liv never stopped believing in me. Never gave up. Never let go. After all, she understood what I’d lost, because she’d lost it too. 

Liv was everything to me, but she was never truly mine. 

That was going to change. 

I lost my first love, but I refused to lose my soulmate. 

Now, I’m on the ropes during the toughest battles of my life. 

Fighting to be the man she deserves. 

Fighting the solitude of our pasts. 

Fighting for her.

LOVED. EVERY. SINGLE.THING

These Page men will always have a piece of my heart..

Their struggles were hard, their compassion was endless, their love was real!!!

Wow nothing could have prepared me for the Man Quarry grew up to be..

The six year old foul mouthed baby brother I grew to love through out this series was the cherry on top!!

The angst was off the charts for me and I devoured every minute of it..

Quarry and Liv grew up together were inseparable, they were best friends, they had each others backs and ALWAYS turned to the other in time of need.. until something happened that pushed Liv away for a while.. 

This series is amazing every Page boy had their own tale to tell and they did they each had their own obstacles to overcome and they have..

You couldn't help but fall in love with every. single. one. of them!!

In that time Quarry grew up so did Liv but neither stopped thinking about the other..

I'm not one to go into the story lines especially when I know it's one that needs to be read to get the feels like I did

There were important characters that played hug roles but Q and Liv NEVER took the back seat..

I was rooting for Q & Liv from the beginning.. 

Although Mia did harbor a special part in my heart there was no question in my mind what needed to happen..

I cried, I laughed and I hooted when FINALLY everything fell into place..

Soul Mates for Sure..

AMAZING STORY!!!!
