Others: Mixed I’m tired. I’m tired of running, tired of hiding, tired of always looking over my shoulder. Now my guys must endure this too. The clock is still ticking in my head. I feel him circling, getting closer and closer. The fear I carry is nearly suffocating. Not for me, but for my guys. I know what it’s like to have your family taken from you in the most brutal of ways. I won’t lose my family again. I will do whatever it takes to protect them. Even if that means I must face the monster who has haunted my nightmares and reality and kill him myself. Please forgive me, my Stone boys. I must do this to free you. And…to free me.

Others: PositiveThere's a magnetic attraction when a happy-go-lucky gig worker agrees to a fake relationship with a rich, uptight New Yorker in this steamy romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Samantha Young. Star Shine Meadows is all about freedom, thanks to the hippie parents who raised her. Juggling her jobs as a professional costume character actor and a line sitter, she believes in no expectations, no stressful ambitions, and no-strings-attached relationships. So when she meets a birthday girl's grumpy uncle while working a princess party, she can't help but needle him. She'll never see him again, and honestly, he's pretty hot. Rafe Whitman may be a veterinarian with a great bedside manner, but that doesn't mean his patience extends to anyone with opposable thumbs. His family will not stop nagging him about finding "the one," so when he runs into obnoxiously cheery Star again, he makes her an offer: He'll pay her more than she would make doing her odd jobs if she'll pretend to be his girlfriend at family gatherings. She can stop sitting in line waiting for someone else's new phone, and he'll get his family off his back. When the tension between them heats to a breaking point, Star's desire for "no strings" is tested against Rafe's staunch stability. They say opposites attract, after all....

Others: PositiveIn our brutal world, there’s no such thing as the truth. Lies overflow until they become a reality. But I’m determined to uncover what happened to my family. One problem, though. My monster, Kirill. We are not the same anymore. It’s become hard to trust one another. But it’s downright impossible to stay away from each other. It’s mad, chaotic, and wrong, but it’s us. And we might have to pay for it with blood.

Others: PositiveYou know that saying, things can’t possibly get worse? They always can. I thought I’d hit rock bottom when I turned sixteen. The day I broke my first love's heart, ending things before I could ruin his career as a rock star. But damn, was I wrong. Things got progressively worse from that moment on, until now. Eight years later, when I find myself homeless, jobless, covered in blood, and running from a ghost of my past. Angelo Ricci--the second boy I ever loved--knows I saw him shoot a man. He’s coming for me, has men out all over the city looking for me, and if they find me I’m as good as dead. But I’m not giving up so easily. I’ll do whatever it takes to escape the Ricci family’s wrath, even if it means seeking sanctuary with the most unlikely, and unwilling of allies. Bellerose is the hottest rock band in the world right now--in popularity and looks--and it’s just my luck that I stumble into their laps while running for my life. It’s not the best plan to hide out on their tour, but it’s the best I’ve got. Except, the only person that Bellerose’s frontman hates more than Angelo Ricci… might be me. Too damn bad. Jace owes me. After all, I’m Billie Bellerose. Poison Roses is book ONE of FOUR in the Boys Of Bellerose series. This is a mafia/rockstar reverse harem romance series with dark elements and gripping cliffhangers throughout. Content is intended for a mature audience.

Others: MixedGen I’ve made my fortune from liberation, but I’m far more comfortable with discretion. I’ve built the pre-eminent sex club in London, but I don’t play there. Not publicly, anyway. Not beyond its darkest corners. I talk the talk, but I don’t walk the walk. Not like my male co-founders do. Because I’m the immaculate one. The flawless, perfectly turned-out woman who’s cultivated her glacial facade so carefully she’s scared the slightest smear will ruin it. I want to run a sex empire and be taken seriously in the old boys’ club that is the business world. I want to be the poster child, not the plaything. So I stay polished. Tasteful. Beyond reproach. Until Anton Wolff joins Alchemy. He’s the UK’s most charismatic billionaire, and he’s looking for a club that’s as discreet as it is debauched. As classy as it is carnal. I think I’ve seen it all, until he shares what he desires from his Alchemy experience. And what he desires, above all else, is me. The pull is mutual. The tension is unbearable. And the risk that he unveils me, seduces me into abandoning any vestige of control, is very, very, real. I think I’m afraid of the Big, Bad Wolff.

Others: PositiveI’m a man with no morals or feelings. The only reason I made it this far is to reign. Nothing and no one will stop me. Or that should’ve been the plan. Now, my only goal is to get back the woman who belongs to me. Sasha thinks it’s all over, but we’re only getting started. She’s my woman. My partner. My wife. Mine.

MixedI finished the third Ashley rostic audio book that I have and I think that one I liked better than book two but it's still lacking in like the overarching plot of the series it's just like her growing her relationship with the heroes so I think three and a half Stars
