King of Diamonds: Vegas Underground Book 1

So run. Stay the hell away from my casino. Or I’ll tie you to my bed. Put you on your knees. Break you. So come to me, beautiful, if you dare…

I WARNED HER.
I told her not to set foot in my casino again. I told her
to stay away. Because if I see her around my suite again,
I’ll claim her as my own.
And once I make her mine, I’m not gonna set her free.
I’m king of the Vegas underground and I take
what I want.

So she’d better run. Stay the hell away from my casino.
Or I’ll never let her go.

Oh Nico- the sexy, thick chemistry between you and Sondra was 🔥!!

The way that Nico and Sondra meet is unconventional. She goes into his Vegas suite to clean it (she’s coming from Reno, has a graduate degree but is struggling so she can only clean rooms in the meantime while she waits to see what her future holds- if she can get a job teaching or maybe deal cards like her cousin that works at the same hotel). Because she has a very nice body and is attractive, he immediately has his guard up and assumes she’s some kind of spy or is working for someone and is trying to deceive him. Nico suffers from insomnia- so he freaks out and gets paranoid easily (plus, his family deals with illegal things, so it’s not like he can easily trust people). She really is only there to clean, but he doesn’t believe her. So what does he do? He strip searches her!!! I have to say- I thought it was pretty hot (until he takes out his gun- but I still admired his alpha behavior). He realizes his mistake after she breaks down from the fear she’s feeling.

He warns her about himself and somewhat apologizes for what she went through with him (and pays her for her traumatizing experience). She decides she needs the job so she isn’t going to quit and Nico uses this to his advantage. He personally requests that she cleans the suites (his and two others). When she goes to clean his room, she encounters him and, oh man, is it explosive! I’m surprised my kindle didn’t melt 🔥😅🥵🤤. Their connection is visceral, raw, hot, and organic. They just can’t help themselves- and I was here for it all.

A couple of things- they both have a past. He’s been engaged to another Italian mafia’s daughter- a mafia princess- for like twenty years now (since she was a baby and he was a kid). Sondra does not trust quickly anymore since her boyfriends keep cheating on her (she left Reno after she found her boyfriend with another woman). So, fidelity is a must for her. There are things they each need to know about each other, especially concerning his engagement and expectations in life.

I adored them! Honestly, because their connection was so intense, they’re really meant to be. I can’t wait to keep reading more from this series! I have now added Renee Ross as one of my favorite authors 🥰

🔶 “Run while you still can. Because once I decide you’re mine, I will ruin you. Be sure of it.”

Nico is the fourth son of the Tacone family. Despite being part of an organized crime family, he’s trying to run a legit business. He’s one dangerous, intense, violent and possessive male. Even more, I loved his dominance and dirty mouth!

Sondra is an art historian looking for a new start in Las Vegas. She’s so sweet, kind, compassionate and smart. But she always seems to attract the wrong kind of men. I really liked her!

I loved everything that happened between Sondra and Nico. The first time they met was quite intense. Their journey towards happiness was not an easy one. And there were secrets threatening to tear them apart. Even more, both knew they were wrong for each other but couldn’t stay away. And both were torn between right and wrong, love and duty. But their chemistry and attraction was undeniable from the start. And when they finally gave in to their feelings, the passion they shared was off-the-charts hot. I really loved how well they fit together. And after everything they’ve been through, they more than deserved to find love and happiness with each other.

Overall, the story is a fantastic start of the series. It’s filled with action, danger, violence, drama, scorching hot romance and magnificent characters.

I loved it!

The middle son of the Tacone mafia family Nico Tacone is running Vegas! Desiring to stay on the legit side of the game Nico has chosen to run a hotel in Vegas without the obvious undertones of his father's Mafia dynasty. Happy on the West Coast, while still helping the family, Nico enjoys the finer things and the finer women that his status provides for him... and he can get what he wants without the status... wink wink!

Before being a maid, Sondra Simonson was an art history teacher in a happy relationship... or so she thought. After finding her boyfriend enjoying the physical delights of another woman Sondra has had enough and wants a better life without a cheating boyfriend. After moving to Vegas with her cousin, Sondra now finds herself working in Nico's hotel and it's a whole new world. After being short staffed her supervisor hesitantly allows Sondra to help her clean the rooms on the coveted top floor where Mr. Tacone and others live and conduct casino business. Warned not to tough anything in these rooms other than what they are there to clean Sondra finds herself working along and accidentally gets caught by Mr. Tacone himself and Sondra is beside herself.

One look at Sondra in her uniform and Nico is in lust! It also helps that Sondra is so taken with his dominant nature that she has a hard time keeping in mind that 1. he's in the mafia and 2. he's her boss... this is just so wrong! The twists and turns in this novel adds extra spice to this kettle of chemistry that detonates with the lingering looks and hot kisses. This is the first offering that I have read from this author and I must say I was impressed. Not many know, as Sondra did and I respect her for that. Despite what Nico's profession is and Sondra's misgivings about how she feels about what he does they will fight to be together to the end...

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Dirty Billionaires #Giveaway

Jenna smacked his hand and scowled. “Customers don’t reach behind the bar.”
The tone of voice she said it in irritated him and stirred something in him he hadn’t felt in a while. Visions of bending her over the bar and turning her ass red flashed in his head. Before he realized what he was doing, he grabbed her wrist. “And employees probably shouldn’t hit the owner.”

SNEAK PEEKS:

Deal with the Devil by Dori Pulitano

“Miss Stone. We’re not calling the police… yet. But I need you to tell me why you’ve been selling photos of people’s private business to the tabloids. It’s going to create a fucked-up situation for my club and now for Mr. Winston.”

“I can’t tell you.”

“Dalton.” I glance over my shoulder at him. “Go to Mr. Winston and his manager. Tell them I’ll be there shortly. Then we can decide what to do with Miss Stone.”

“Dom?” His tone is filled with worry. “Shouldn’t we call alert the authorities?”

“No. Do what I asked.”

“Are you sure about that, sir?” Danny questions my reaction. “There’s no telling what she’s done.”

“Danny, return to the floor and do your job. I’ll take care of this matter. Please keep this between the three of us for now.”

“Yes, sir.”

The sound of the door clicking tells me they’ve left me alone with Miss Stone. “Now. What do you suppose I should do with you, Miss Stone? You’ve ignored every policy I have in place here at the club to violate a client’s privacy and are likely responsible for the recent spotlight aimed at Mr. Winston’s reputation.”

My cock throbs at the way she bows her head and stares at her feet. “I’ll do anything. Please.” Her voice is barely a whisper.

The mere notion this girl is submissive has my dick threatening to split open the zipper on my pants. “How old are you, Miss Stone?”

She twists her fingers in her lap. “Twenty-three.”

The lie rolls off her tongue, making me wonder if she’s even legal. “Twenty-three, huh? Are you married? Have a boyfriend?”

“Nn—nno.” She stutters her answer, her eyes lifting slightly to look at me. “Why?”

“What about family? I assume you live in the area?”

Her back stiffens as she looks me in the eye. “It’s just me and I live close to here.”

I snort, knowing damn well the apartments close by are shit holes. It’s the only negative about the club’s location. But trying to get an upscale community to let me put in a club with the specialty Vibe caters to wasn’t going to happen. Doesn’t matter—the clients here would not care less if I put Vibe on a desert island. They’d still show up and pay the hefty membership fee.

“What are you going to do with me?”

Mistaking Stone by Amy Stephens

“Oh, my, what have we here,” I whisper into her hair and run one of my fingers along her fold. She’s so slick, it’s easy to add a second one. Up and down, she begins to squirm and moan.

Hmm, I wonder if I can make her scream?

Placing her hand on top of mine, she guides my fingers to her sweet spot. I rub the delicate tissue, gently and effortlessly, all the while imagining what it would feel like against my tongue. Dear brother, you didn’t realize a good thing when you had it.

The back of the seat begins to lower, opening up the area for me to visit.

“Does this seat have a massager?” she giggles.

“Does the car have four wheels?”

“You’re such a tease, Stone Arlington.”

We’ll see who’s a tease when I get done with you, my princess.

With my right hand on her tit, roughly kneading it, and my left hand shoved between her legs, I thrust one finger inside her soaking wet pussy. It goes in easily and I quickly add a second finger.

I nod my head when I hear the seat massager come to life. Her hips begin to raise then lower as the massager goes from the middle of the seat to the bottom.

“You must be left-handed,” she says barely above a whisper.

“Baby, there’s talent in both of these hands, but yes, I’m a lefty. Don’t worry, though. You haven’t felt anything yet.” And with that, I drive a third finger inside, spreading her even wider.

My August #BookBlitz #Giveaway

I know that this is a wrong, that I shouldn’t be doing this. But in this moment, nothing else matters except the brewing desire and longing between us.

My August
Lily Blu
Publication date: April 25th 2023
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Dark Romance, Romance

August and I have been inseparable since childhood, but one kiss changed everything. Suddenly, I began to see things in a new light – not just about myself, but about him as well. It was as if he had morphed into a different person right before my eyes.

Sick, deviant, twisted – words I never would have associated with us before, now seem to fit like a glove.

Despite the fact that he slowly chipped away at my sanity and made me see the ugliest parts of himself, I couldn’t bear the thought of leaving his side. Even as things grew increasingly dark and twisted between us, I remained fiercely loyal to the boy I had once called my best friend.

EXCERPT:

“Kiss me, August. Please…I want to know what it feels like,” she whispers.

Fuck she’s making it hard for me in more ways than one. Her fingers trail up my chest and brush my chin.

I hesitate, conflicted by my feelings. This is so wrong. But as Lu’s lips part slightly, her eyes on my mouth, I can’t resist any longer. She’s forbidden fruit, but I would rather go to hell than not taste her. I lean in, and my mind is a haze when her breath kisses my skin, and then I press my lips to hers. She’s soft and so fucking warm. Like the sun. I’m kissing the sun. I’m Icarus, warned not to fly too close to the sun but too damn exhilarated not to. Like him, I’ll fall to my death, but if these are my last moments of euphoria, I’ll take it.

She lets out a moan when I deepen the kiss, and soon, my tongue is exploring her mouth. She is even more delicious than I imagined. She’s hesitant at first, unsure, but then she gets the hang of it, the heat between us intensifying to boiling point. The movie fades to the background as I grip her waist, pulling her closer. I’m growing impossibly hard in my sweatpants, but when I drag her into my lap, and she gasps at the contact her wet heat makes with my erection, it’s the wake-up check I need, and I pull away abruptly.

“Fuck, Lu. No!” I move her off my lap and stand, staring at her while trying to get air back into my lungs. Her lips are swollen as she holds a trembling finger to them.

#BookTour Her Dark Enchantments #Giveaway

Why did it hurt her so? Had she performed the ritual too many times? Had she asked for too much by adding the sweet pea?

Her Dark Enchantments

by Rosalyn Briar

Genre: Dark Fantasy Romance, Fairytale Retelling

The Wicked Fairy. The Mistress of All Evil. The villain of Sleeping Beauty goes by many names, but where did she come from?

Myravelle Spinner grew up in a tower with only spiders, spindles, and stone walls for friends while her mother spun gold for the king. She wondered why her mother refused to teach her fairy magic until one fateful mistake led Myravelle to become the healer in the king’s Sleepy Wood Company.

Drained from years of waking soldiers from a cursed sleep, Myravelle must now choose a new canvas–a man whose life she drains with a dagger to fuel her healing powers. A ritual binds her to Byzarien Dumont, who loathes fairies for the fires that left his family impoverished and his body riddled with scars. His burning hatred causes Myravelle’s enchantments to wilt, leading the king to threaten her mother’s life.

Byzarien can only see Myravelle as a beautiful spider who strings men along her web, while Myravelle considers love a weakness for the king to exploit. With their families in danger and soldiers rotting in a death-like sleep, the pair must learn to trust one another before the dark magic spinning in Myravelle’s soul unravels once and for all.

The Wicked Fairy never asked to become a monster…

Sharp and sexy, Her Dark Enchantments is a deliciously dark romance that will plunge you deep into the fairy woods, proving every villain is the hero of their own story. Majestic with her blades and blood magic, Myravelle is the goth queen I would be proud to serve. Lyrical and richly atmospheric, if you love underdog heroes and sensual slow burns, look no further for your next favourite read.
