Just him. 
My villain and my savior. 
My damnation and my salvation. 
The only person I ever told my secret.

Give me a minute here. I'm just... Wow. Talk about one heck of a roller coaster ride! My expectations were at a high going into All the Truths, and we have All the Lies to thank for that because Rina Kent had us primed for twists and turns, ups and downs, and all the loop-the-loops. This second and final novel in the Lies & Truths series picks up where the first one left off. Reina Ellis has come to the painful realization that Asher Carson, the man she wants to wrap herself around, is the same one she should be running far, far away from. Memories are trickling back, but as she tries to reconcile everything that's in her head and what's in her heart, how will she convince Ash to believe whatever it is she confesses to him? When all is said and done, can Ash trust this woman he desires and despises?

Gah! Reviews like this are difficult to write because I'm itching to list down every single thing about this book that had me all excited, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone who has yet to read the duet. Seriously, this is the sort of story that you could go into blind and still enjoy immensely. That being said, All the Lies MUST be read before All the Truths or else you're going to get lost. They're tied together and have to be read in order. Suffice it to say, that there were certain revelations that caught me unaware, but I'm feeling rather proud that I guessed a couple of them as well. Reina and Ash went through the gauntlet, and throughout, I just hung on for the ride. This duet definitely had me sit up and take notice of Rina Kent's writing, and I shall certainly be checking out her back list to see what I've been missing out on. For now, I'm so relishing the book hangover from All the Truths. Five-plus stars. ♥

Release Blitz: Saved by Hazel James

Saved (Battles #2) by Hazel James Release Date: June 21, 2018 About Saved Leilani Moretti Life is out to get me.  Humvee accident that took my right hand? Strike one.  Cancer three years later that stole my breasts and hair? Strike two.  An overbearing mother who seems to think I’m twelve, not twenty-seven?  Yeah, I’m out of there.  I thought moving to Oklahoma would give me a fresh start. I hoped life would finally cut me some damn slack. But between the inept people at the VA hospital and a boss who’s hell-bent on fixing me, I just want to be left alone. Haven’t I been through enough already? Clay Prescott Joining the Army and deploying to Afghanistan? Hard. Kicking an alcohol addiction and starting a business combining fitness and mental health? Harder. Worth it? Hell yes.  Battles, my gym, has been so successful that I hired a new employee—a veteran herself—to help me open a second location. And that’s when it all goes to hell. Everything

Release Blitz: Blue Skies by Marie Sinclair

Blue Skies (Blue Skies #1) by Marie Sinclair Release Date: October 11, 2023 About Blue Skies Greg loves his job as a flight attendant. If only his love life could make him as happy, he’d be all set. Asexual and HIV-positive, Greg has had a series of untrustworthy boyfriends who saw him as a challenge or told him they could accept his sexuality and status. Until they couldn’t. Still reeling from his latest breakup, Greg’s romantic heart beats a little faster when he meets Holden at a club, even though his brain whispers caution. For Holden, relationships are something he can’t afford. He’s been in the closet his entire adult life because it could cost him his job if anyone finds out he’s gay. At forty-eight, hook-ups, one night stands, and quickies in a bathroom are as good as it gets for him. It’s all he’s looking for when he goes to Neon. Instead, he finds Greg. Drawn to each other from the start, the two experience a bit of a bumpy take-off. But then Holden ends up on Greg

Review: The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan (Roommates #1)

Note: This ARC was provided by the author via InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review. I do believe I've found myself a new book boyfriend to drool, erm, swoon over in Cannon Roth, male main character in bestselling author Kendall Ryan's Roommates series starter, The Room Mate . This had a familiar romance trope--falling-for-your-best-friend's-sibling--and yet I didn't find it boring or tiresome in any way. This has both heart and heat as well as lighthearted humor along with a bit of heart-tugging angst and it's headlined by a couple of main characters that I was totally smitten with from the moment Paige got a pretty good idea of just how much her best friend's younger brother Cannon had grown up from the nerdy boy who followed them around like a puppy when they were kids. Bonus points for Paige being older and for the four-legged, furball named Enchilada.  When twenty-eight-year-old Paige took the call from her best friend asking if her yo
