Review: Bad Bishop by Layla Reyne (Perfect Play #2)


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

Bad Bishop is the second book in the Perfect Play trilogy penned by Layla Reyne, and I swear, this author is a mad genius when it comes to bringing together the elements of romance and suspense. This picks up where the series starter, Dead Draw, left off, so this is where I highly recommend that you read the books in order or else you truly will feel like something is missing. We've got husbands and federal agents Levi Bishop and Emmitt Marshall not only trying to protect their family, but also playing catch up with a case that has too many loose threads that should bring bits and pieces together, but there are obviously things still amiss. Marsh and Levi may have a marriage of convenience, and certain truths feel more inconvenient than anything else. However, one undeniable realization is that Marsh and Levi are partners--professionally and personally--and there's far more on the line than their careers the deeper they dig for dangerous answers.

If cliffhangers could kill... But obviously I'm still very much alive, but goodness, the frustration is real, people! The release for the third and final book in the Perfect Play trilogy from Layla Reyne isn't till June of next year, and I'm not exactly the world's most patient human being, so... However, a cliffhanger wasn't really all that unexpected since I've had the painful pleasure (because yes, waiting for the next book in a continuing series is like sweet torture) of reading Reyne's other romantic suspense series so I knew it was coming. But goodness, I just want Marsh and Levi to get their happily-ever-after, and ride off into the sunset with Levi's son, David, and the rest of their family that consist of both sides plus their friends and allies. But I know the wait is necessary and worthwhile, and Reyne is going to reward her readers' patience with a conclusion that'll have us on the edge of our seat. So, let the countdown begin, and let me give five stars to Bad Bishop!

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
