Review: Enemy Heir by Carrie Ann Ryan & Nana Malone (Tattered Royals #2)


Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by the authors via Valentine PR.

Enemy Heir is the much awaited second book in the Tattered Royals series from the writing duo of Carrie Ann Ryan and Nana Malone. While the series starter, Royal Line, got things off to a fantastic start, it's almost as if Ryan and Malone took things up a notch or two with this follow-up. Here we've got Breck Waterford, royal rogue and the bane of Sparrow Bridges' existence. He's got a reputation for being a playboy, and it's one that he's actually earned. Sparrow has kept his distance from him, focusing on her job as a security specialist and not on how hot Alden's prince is. But when she finds herself in the crosshairs of a stalker, it's Breck that she turns to for a bit of help. The more time with him, though, the more Sparrow realizes that what people see of Breck is barely scratching the surface. There's more to him than meets the eye, but will letting her guard down set her up for heartache?

I love it when a series gets better with each new release, and that's exactly the case with the Tattered Royals series. I liked Royal Line, but I loved Enemy Heir, and that could be due in large part to all that delicious tension happening between the main characters mixed in with the action and suspense amidst the royal romance. Breck and Sparrow had the sort of character development that made me feel like being as emotionally invested as I'd been was worth it. Ditto with the story itself, one that I found was wholly entertaining from the moment you start reading that first chapter till you get to the very end. I enjoyed getting to know Breck and Sparrow better, and their romance made for an awesome read. Five stars go to Enemy Heir.

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

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
