Hook (Neverland Novels Book 2) by Gina L. Maxwell is an emotionally satisfying read that kept me on the edge of my seat. From the gorgeous and sexy cover, to the very last page, this story has everything I was looking for in my book adventure and yes, I was willfully captured by Hook ;). I hope you will be too.
If you grew up on stories Neverland and Peter Pan escaping the villainous Hook, grab your bag and get ready to set sail on a new adventure. A modern version M/M romance is captivating, daring, bold and brave. This emotional journey is one that I wanted to never end as quickly devoured this in less than two hours. I know there is more to this series and while I want to read it now, I will patiently wait ;).
James Hook is a villainous pirate and will do anything to protect his crew. Now more than ever he’ll stop at nothing to protect those he holds near and dear. While he might be able to forgive most of previous and heinous crimes, he’s got a score to settle with the notorious Fred Croc. Will he finally get his revenge?
Secrets have a way of unraveling when you least expect it. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try to hide them, they surface. Life is unpredictable and you need to be prepared for the twists and turns. Hook has waited patiently for the revenge he seeks. What will happen to when Officer John Darling returns in his life with a proposal that will test his power, control and trust?
James has spent years restraining his feelings toward the one man who he can’t have. If James can believe that he’s worthy and not broken, he might discover a love that’s been there all along.
Readers, it’s time to dive into those fairy tales one more time and take flight. I thought I was ready for Hook’s story, and then, Gina surprised me with so much more!
Add this series to your holiday wish list and for anyone who loves an inferno read.Be prepared to turn on the A/C, the fan, and take a cold shower.
I received an ARC from the author for an honest and fair review.

Oct 16, 2019 | Blog, October 2019, Victoria Blue
Misadventures in City Hall by Victoria Blue is a fast-paced read packed with all the heat, sizzle and characters you expect from a Misadventures book.
A run for city council seat, two opponents will develop an attraction that could jeopardize both campaigns.ย Will Skye and Kyle play fair or will they run a dirty campaign?
Kyle Armstrong is strong, determined, and clear in his intentions when he meets Skye Delaney. Will Skye find her match in Kyle both in and out of the bedroom?
As with each Misadventures release, this standalone read is perfect if you like strong alpha males, bold and sassy heroines ready to take charge, and a plot that reads fast with all the thrills of a Misadventure. If you’ve read Misadventures with a Book Boyfriend you will recognize characters.
Again, this can be read as a standalone but if you’re a reader who likes to “read all the books” that’s a must read adventure either before or after. (See previously published review here)
Note that this inferno read will cause you to turn on the A/C, the fan, and take a cold shower. There is sex, penetrative and oral while the heroine is menstruating.
I received an ARC from Bare Naked Words for a fair and honest review.

Oct 15, 2019 | Angelina M. Lopez, Blog, October 2019
Lush Money (Filthy Rich Book 1) by Angelina Lopez is a must read debut novel. From the moment I saw the cover and read the summary, I knew I had to read this story. Don’t wait, this is a book people will be talking about and you’ll want to share in the conversation ;).ย
Each page has purpose in moving the characters along and their arcs written so seamlessly that they slowly mature and then explode the way we anticipate, with a few surprises, from the intricate details woven in each chapter. The opening sentence hooked me in and the story didn’t release it’s grasp on me until the very last word. Monte del Vino Real and the stateside settings are picture-postcard exciting. This book is a world in vivid color with descriptions so rich and detailed that I feel I’m standing in the vineyard, with my shoes off. I can feel the dirt beneath my feet and on my hands, the heat from the sun beating down upon my shoulders. I can smell the fragrance of the vines as I inhale the fresh, crisp air.
Roxanne Medina is confident, bold, and not afraid to take what she wants. It doesn’t matter what she has to give up in order to acquire a deal with the Golden Prince, Mateo Ferdinand Juan Carlos de Esperanzo y Santos. From the start he’s skeptical and not interested in her proposal. Three days a month for a woman he doesn’t know is three days too many. Despite negotiating for better terms, the minor details are necessary to ensure her fairy tale ending. Will he agree? When Mateo discovers that his country needs this arrangement, will he continue on with the plan and charade, or do his best to terminate the negotiations even if it means losing what he holds most dear?
Mateo has spent years working to improve his reputation and build a business that will strengthen his status and set him apart from his father. A lifetime of dreams will come close to being crushed when Roxanne insists he’s the prince she needs for her storybook ending. Determined to be better than his reputation, he’s willing to risk everything to set things right.
As you settle into the book, there is an ease with how Angelina writes, it’s smooth and fluid. The transition and balance of language and culture from Spanish to English, and back, rolled effortlessly.ย What makes this story so exciting and enjoyable is that for readers who don’t speak Spanish, the narrative from hero to country and everything in-between is nonintoxicating and exciting.ย ย
Readers, this multicultural romance stands out and sparkles. If you’re looking for a book adventure with a strong heroine billionaire, a wild Prince, a setting that’s magical, and lots of family secrets to keep our characters on their toes – this a refreshing and welcome change! Let’s not forget a handful of seriously steamy scenes that will smoke your e-reader. Folks – Angelina makes walking down an alley sexy and exciting!
This inferno read will cause you to turn on the A/C, the fan, and take a cold shower.
I received an ARC from the author for a fair and honest review. I can’t wait for the second installment. Be sure to check back tomorrow for an excerpt!

Angelina M. Lopez wrote “arthur” when her kindergarten teacher asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up. In the years since she learned to spell the word correctly, she’s been a journalist for an acclaimed city newspaper, a freelance magazine writer, and a content marketer for small businesses. At long last, she found her way back to “author.”
Angelina writes sexy, contemporary stories about strong women and the confident men lucky enough to fall in love with them. The fact that her parents own a vineyard in Californiaโs Russian River Valley might imply a certain hedonism about her; it’s not true. She’s a wife and a mom who lives in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. She makes to-do lists with perfectly drawn check boxes. She checks them with glee.
Her first book,ย Lush Money, is available now from Carina Press.ย Her second book, Hate Crush, will be available June 2020. You can find more about her at her website,ย AngelinaMLopez.com and at @AngelinaMLo on Instagram and Twitter.
Oct 6, 2019 | Alex Wolf, Blog, Blog Tour, October 2019, Sloane Howell
Cocky Playboy by Sloane Howell and Alex Wolf is an absolute wild must read, and I can’t wait to see how this series develops. From the first page the writing is seamless and I can’t figure out where one writer ends and the other begins. The story moves fast with witty dialogue and enough heat to warm you up on a cool fall night. I’m already counting down the days until I can read the second installment Sloane and Alex :).
When you work hard in your career and discover the one person you need to impress to move your career is the one who will change your life, will you give in to your desires or stay firm and keep it all business? Will Tate and Decker mix business with pleasure? If so, they are in for a wild adventure as long as they leave it in the bedroom and not the boardroom.
A cab, one drink, a merger and a secret will thrust Tate Reynolds and Decker Collins into a relationship that is wickedly fun and full of twists and turns. An added bonus is the attention to Decker’s siblings, hopefully this means they will get their own stories!
This inferno read will cause you to turn on the A/C, the fan, and take a cold shower.

Don’t judge a book by it’s cover and don’t make assumptions about bikers. It’s time to grab your leather jacket and hop of a bike for a ride with your next book boyfriend.
Sometimes we need to let loose and have a little fun but then get back to the daily grind and move on. What would you do if that week of sin walked into your life unexpectedly? What if you still had feelings and feared the truth would ruin everything?
