MY MASKED STALKER is a debut novella and the first in the Beautiful Stalkers series. If you like Dark Romance, with laser-focused unalivers, who are possessive and broody, you may just like this one.

Killian is on a job when he first sees Emily, and from that moment on, all bets are off. She is his, even if she doesn't know it yet. And as for Emily, well, she knows she should contact the police, block his number, etc. etc., but she doesn't.

The pacing is fast (as expected with a novella) but perfectly timed. The characters are brilliant and will definitely leave you wanting more of them. It is exceedingly well-written, with the connection between Killian and Emily clear to see. As for Killian and Emily themselves, I loved the banter between them, while the hotness was off the charts.

I can't wait to read more in this series, especially when Ethan and Damian fall! Just remember it's DARK, and you should be okay. Definitely recommended by me.

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

Gia Finds Trying to Outrun Her Past is Murder
Gia Morelli is trying to put her ex-husband’s financial scandal behind her as she moves from New York City to central Florida. Not only is she closer to her best friend, but she’s opening her own diner, the All-Day Breakfast Café. Her first day ends horribly, however, when she finds her ex in the dumpster behind the restaurant. What was he doing in Florida? Who killed him?

I love breakfast, so the hook of this series definitely appealed to me. While Gia’s phobias were a little over the top for me, I loved the character’s overall. The relationships Gia is forming are strong, and I can’t wait to spend more time with everyone. The story starts quickly, but it could have been a little stronger overall. Still, I couldn’t put the book down, finishing it in just a couple of days. Sadly, we don’t get any breakfast food recipes here, but the food talk definitely made me crave breakfast while I was reading. Overall, this was a solid debut, and I would definitely enjoy spending more time with the characters in the future.

ACCIDENTAL BONDS is the first book in the Elemental Bonds series and, as far as I can tell, is the debut book by this author. What a way to start!!!

There is everything here you could wish for - history, two sides uneasy with each other, a big bad, another who knows what. I loved every word! The back and forth between Victor and Elijah was almost like a dance, and I loved how it happened with reason, not miscommunication. It was for Victor and Elijah to figure out what to do next; not to have half-spoken words taken the wrong way. I loved it.

There is a HEA for our main two - although I'd still love more from them - and a HFN for the series. This one ends on a delightful note, leaving you wanting more immediately. I can't wait to see where we go next. A book to lose yourself in, I HIGHLY recommend it.
