Review: Beautiful Ruin by Piper Lawson (Enemies #3)


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Wildfire Marketing Solutions.

Piper Lawson closes out her Enemies trilogy with the sort of ending that her main characters and readers deserve. Beautiful Ruin picks up several months where Beautiful Sins left off. And this is where I remind anyone perusing this review that you must read the books in this series in order: Beautiful Enemy, Beautiful Sins, and Beautiful Ruin. This features one main couple, Raegan Madani and Harrison King, and a continuing story line.

Harrison King thought he knew what he was doing when he let Raegan Madani walk away from him. Revenge may be a dish served best cold, but a cold bed with Rae in it was pure torture. She'd given him her body and then her heart, and now, the time had come for him to reclaim it all back. The demons of their past are coming for them, but Harrison has no intention of backing down, not when it comes to the only woman he will ever love.

Ah, Rae and Harrison. These two had me going through a whole lot of feels from the moment their paths crossed in Piper Lawson's previous trilogy, Rivals, and all throughout their Enemies series. There were moments I was frustrated with both of them, but then there were all those times I absolutely understood why they couldn't stay away from each other for too long. Beautiful Ruin wrapped everything quite nicely, and it gets four 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)

Image
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
