From the moment we meet Briar Hollis I was right there with her on that boat sailing to an unknown destination and all in! Determined to survive Briar must figure out which group of savages is least likely to kill her as she swims to shore.
An island filled with secrets, strangers that are ready to fight to the death, deception, angst, and so much more in a place where who you trust could be the difference between life and death. Itโs a tsunami as each wave impacts the characters in a game of chess where even those who are two moves ahead of an opponent still risk defeat and possible death.
It’s time to put your survival skills to the test and hope your choices keep you alive. I was on the edge of my seat with all the twist and turns.
If you read your books and can visualize it as a movie playing in your head like me…this is chef’s kiss. I would love to see this adapted to screen. Please note that book will answer some plot arcs while leaving others to be discovered in the next book!
This Spicy read is a captivating dystopian romantasy that has The Handmaid’s Tale, Lost, and The Hunger Games vibes…all in ONE place!

Karma’s A Beach by Samantha Chase is your next beach read!
A funeral, beach trip, secrets, surprises, friendships, and a little bit of drama. If you are looking for an opposites attract, forced proximity, vacation romance between a cinnamon roll hero & author heroine go grab this book!
Olivia Ashely is traveling to her ex’s funeral because of his mother. The words should flow easily for her but she struggles to put her thoughts on paper.
With all the travel chaos she befriends the handsome guy sitting next to her expecting to never see him again. What will she do when he shows up in the most unexpected place?
This sinfully sweet that’s more sin has characters have expressed their feelings as they begin to explore a physical connection which many include kissing and sexual touching. There is plenty of sexual tension on the page and the bedroom door is open.
The intimacy between characters is warm, sensual, and inviting but will fade-to-black leaving the details off the page. The reader can confirm the characters have taken their exploration to the next level and are now connecting in a more intimate nature. In some books you will find a little extra drama that might be paired with a third act break-up which hopefully leads to a reunion sprinkled with a little romance of some kind before the story ends.
This is the perfect book to bring on your summer vacation. Olivia and Sebastian are brought together by tragedy and when they find themselves in a temporary fake relationship it brings another level of fun! I loved Liv’s book plot arc and hope we see more of that along with the secondary characters. Fingers crossed. Don’t miss this one!

When Callum Macabe met Juniper Ross he never imagined how intertwined their lives would be.
Juniper has three rules:
1. Don’t look at a Macabe brother
2. Don’t talk to a Macabe brother
3. Don’t even think of a Macabe brother
A forbidden love with her ex’s brother is a slow burn that has a layered plot arc and plenty of secondary characters to add to the story.
Once engaged to his brother Juniper will need to sort through her feelings about Callum because all these years later…he secretly wants her. Will he give in and risk the family fall-out?
A story that centers around a family that would do anything for each other if they could get past the secrets and fear of not leaning into each other for support.
Note the content/trigger warnings. The spice is spicy with a little “tie me up tie me down” vibe
Looking forward to seeing which sibling happy ever after is next!
