Review: Jonah Bennett by Tijan (Bennett Mafia #1.5)


Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by 1001 Dark Nights Press via Social Butterfly PR.

Tijan takes readers back into the world of the Bennetts, which all began in March of 2019 in Bennett Mafia. While that book was about the second eldest--but eldest living--among the Bennett siblings, Kai, this new novella is turns its attention towards the youngest one. Jonah Bennett loves his family--Kai, Tanner, and Brooke--and he knows the businesses his older brothers are involved. He's made the conscious decision to separate himself from all of it, living a normal sort of life. All that changed when a stranger walked up to him and his fiancée, asked one simple question, and proceeded to kill her. 

I was thrilled when I found out that Tijan was dipping back into this particular book universe of hers. I've wanted to know more about Kai Bennett's siblings ever since I read Bennett Mafia. Jonah is certainly an intriguing main character, and I enjoyed seeing the varying dynamics whenever the four siblings were together. Forensic technician Carson Dayley was interesting, although I wish the author had delved more into what made her tick and her back story. All in all, Jonah Bennett was entertaining, and I hope we haven't seen the last of the Bennetts. Four stars.

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
