Riot House by Callie Hart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Riot House by Callie Hart is the first book I have read of hers. It’s a Bully Romance Series told in Dual POVS.

'Wolf Hall Academy' located in New Hampshire, isn't a regular boarding school, it's where the military and high-profile workers dump their kids. Elodie's father, Colonel Stillwater has decided mid-term to send her there too, taking her away from the life she knew in Tel Aviv. This is the last place she wants to be, but her bullying father doesn’t give her any choice in the matter, and she would never argue with him!

She arrives in the night and it met by Wren Jacobi a ‘Riot House’ boy who has the run of the school! He in intrigued from the beginning! But the other Riot House boys see her an inconvenience and they do all they can to make her life a living hell

Wren sets eyes on Wolf Hall Academy’s newest student, he sees her as an easy target just a quiet unassuming girl. He knows nothing of her troubled past, of her mother’s suspicious death, or the horrific treatment she endured at the hands of her psychotic father.

He finds out that he has met his match with little Elodie Stillwater!
The story takes lots of twists and turns and they are too good to spoil! You get to find out about their pasts and how this shaped them into who they are now, it’s a great love story. You really do need to read this book!

I absolutely loved these characters and could not put my kindle down; I shall be reading more of Callie Hart’s book now I have discovered her!

FOREVER by Kindle Alexander

REVIEWED BY ISA JONES

Forever by Kindle Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book from the amazingly talented Author Kindle Alexander came to my possession at a time when the world is going through an unprecedented situation, COVID-19 arrived and changed the shape of the world and life seize to continued as we knew it, solace for some of us came to be in a form of books, in this case, an exceptional book.

Forever was a completely charming and heartwarming story. It tugged my emotions, it reduced me to tears on many occasions but it also filled me with joy.

Robert and Landon's attraction is off the charts, from their very first encounter the connection is palpable, they completely envelop you into their little cocoon, and allow you to be a voyeur into their sexual and emotional discovery.

After reading Always and loving that story too, this almost felt like the page had turned and we carried onwards.
Robert and Landon both are seeking their HEA and in order to achieve that they must dig deep into their emotions, fight their personal demons, take that leap of faith and get rid of the emotional baggage that is preventing them to achieve the perfect bliss.
Sometimes fighting for what you want makes achieving it the most rewarding.

Once again, Kindle has written the perfect book, I will be FOREVER grateful for the opportunity to read and review this book.

5 STARS.

P.S. It’s Always Been You by Lauren Blakely

This was a sweet and exciting second-chance romance. Hunter and Presley met and fell in love some years ago only for Hunter to take off on a mysterious dream job and not be heard from again. For ten whopping years! They’re thrown back together for the sake of their jobs and it doesn’t take them long to find themselves falling all over again but really, what’s changed? Hunter will still up and go on his next big adventure once it’s over, right?!

I feel like this book was a journey for both Hunter and Presley and also for me as a reader. All the discoveries they made created a huge element of a deeper romance which was wonderful and something I hugely enjoyed. I could understand Presley’s apprehension in letting Hunter back in on an emotional level and the way that aspect played out was perfect for them. I really felt like for most of the book I was waiting for Hunter to kind of grow up - I don’t know if that’s the right way to put it but I can’t articulate well at the moment - and it pleased me to no end when he finally did.

*I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

it was amazing

I read the story VOODOO BURNING by NM Catalano. This story sucks you in. I love how descriptive it is. It sets the stage and the tone of story. Ignatius is a plantation heir and Dominique is a descendant of a powerful voodoo priestess. They have an explosive connection which neither can deny. They are also working a case that can put them in a dangerous position. This story keeps you at the edge of your seat. The ending was done beautifully.

The Decadent Gift by Lauren Blakely

I’ve been so eager for Kate and Jake’s book since I read The Engagement Gift - the first of the After Dark series - a few months ago. I expected something that sizzled with chemistry, provided delicious banter, and was underlined with friendship and family. I got all of that and more with The Decadent Gift.

Jake and Kate have been friends for a while now and their friendship group is well- intertwined. The last few months of flirtation and innuendo have had Kate seeing Jake in a new light and when she needs help with research for an important work assignment, he’s the first person to come to mind - and that’s when things get really exciting. Neither of these characters are interested in anything remotely serious - just a simple, no strings attached weekend with a side serving of kink. Sounds easy enough, right?

This was a great, sexy book featuring many a matchmaker! The chemistry between Jake and Kate was there from The Engagement Gift and only got more intense in this book. That wasn’t all though. There was still fun banter, vulnerable moments, and plenty of mutual respect. All things that tick all the boxes for me. I enjoyed the book and was excited to learn there’ll be more books in this After Dark series. I also have to say that the last few chapters were an absolute treat and will definitely be going back to reread those.

*I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

it was amazing

I could not wait for this story to hit my kindle. I loved the Alexa duet. This story was about an unconventional relationship. A threesome between twin sisters Becca, Jessa and Jeremy. They have been together for years but now there is a shift in their relationships. The story is full of surprises, friendship, support, love, understanding and compassion. The opening scenes are smoking hot and sets the mood of the story. I thought I knew how the story was going to progress but I was thrown for a loop. I felt for Becca for all she goes through in the story but the ending was incredible and heartfelt.

One Night Stand-In by Lauren Blakely

One Night Stand-In is the much-awaited third book in the Boyfriend Material series which follows three best friends. It’s the story of Lola and her love to hate/hate to love, not quite ex, Lucas that we’ve heard about in the previous books where he was mentioned with more than a little venom and bitterness!

Years ago in college, Lucas and Lola were friends - very good friends - and in the span of a weekend, it all changed. They exchanged kisses and made plans which Lucas simply didn’t turn up for until days later and without an explanation or more importantly, an apology. So, of course, Lola has avoided him as much as possible since!

Unfortunately for the both of them, they each have a younger sibling they’re inordinately fond of who are in love with each other. As Lucas and Lola are like pseudo parents to their respective younger sibling, they swallow their misgivings (just a little) to join forces and go on a scavenger hunt to retrieve the belongings that have been spread across the city by a very interesting landlord.

This book was a lot of fun and a great second chance romance. These two falling back in love was really special as was their willingness to go above and beyond for their siblings. I really loved the effort put in by the landlord and almost feel like he deserves a book of his own! All in all, a great read with plenty of heat, heart, and banter.

*I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.
