Reckless Roulette: The Elite Book 1, Alice Winters

There really isn't much I enjoy more than a book by this author.  And when they make it amazing, full of silly shenanigans, endearing characters, badassery, snark, charm, spice, and a hint or flashing neon sign of danger, well, then you've got magic.  But here we also get a redemption of the soul too and that, my friends, made it one of my absolute favorite reads of the year so far.

Kade was suitable annoying with all his arrogance, attitude, and entitlement.  His rage was humorous and the only reason this isn't a full 5 stars is because a lot of his rage went on just a liiiittle too long.  It almost got to the point that I was going to have to settle for Len's love of Kade just being excused as his own tragic backstory altering his preferences.

So while I loved Len and his utter ridiculousness, his sense of justice, his skill with weaponry, his ability to keep Kade off balance and put in his place without public humiliation, my heart was Kade's to lose.  See, my attention and heart was charmed by Len but was ultimately stolen by Kade.

Now, I know it's hard to get through the difficult bits that are Kade in his nurtured awfulness, but there are glimpses of the awkwardness not bred of disdain or contempt, but of the "hurry and look away so you're not affected" kind, the kind that tell you he was taught to look away by others and himself.  That truth is revealed when Len gets rightfully upset by it and puts him on his back in the parking lot.  There's something in him that only Len seems to make him face, and ultimately accept.  Those glimpses are small but so weighty that it made his turnaround absolutely believable to me in this short story.

This book was so damn good.  Kade's turnaround was beautifully written, his honesty and dumbness were beyond endearing, once he pulled his head out, and he was the rock our Len needed to find his own freedom.  I want to read it again right now, actually.  A solidly amazing book at 4.8 stars.

Westin's Prince: Shadow Elite Book 4, Jocelynn Drake

I liked this book, I did.  Overall the best bits were West finding his peace, the team finding the jumping off point to the next phase, and the involvement of all the team and the interconnected members.

There was quite a lot of sweetness.  Not all of it was out of place, most was fantastic, but it was oftentimes so idealized when it came to describing the country, its people, its politics, and its effect on those who come in contact with it.  It was the kind of cheesiness that I skim rather than crave.  A country where its name literally means "happy", a people who embody their country's name, the ultimately self-sacrificing royal family...it was all a little too much at times.

And then there was the predictable villain(s) where when we got to the moment(s) of confrontation we were  thrust into those moments with seemingly no lead-in and then everything became like a flash in the pan only to be there and gone again.  Definitely unbelievable.

But that being said, the point of the story wasn't the outlandishly idealized perfect country with its royalty that truly cared about their people or were too kind and sweet for the real real world, it wasn't that bad guys get their due, and it wasn't only about finding a nice way to wrap up the series.  It was a way to bring the whole team a sense of peace, a sense of possiblity, and a sense of home where they can truly fulfill the happiness that each group found up to this point.  And West's personal journey was the one that got them all there.  I loved the ending of the series.

Find the Jinn: Wilde Contracts Book 1, Maz Maddox

The premise grabbed me right away and I was ready to jump right in. Despite feeling like we were coming in a chapter or two later even though it was the opening scene, this wasn't the first story I've read that did this kind of thing. I was sure we would get a little explanation, back story, or something to catch me up so I pressed on...but we didn't get any of those things.

For the first book of a series it felt like I was missing something -- constantly. I've read in other reviews about Killing the Messenger (or is it Kill the Messenger?) that I got through a Prolific Works giveaway event so I'll need to back to that and read to see if there's anything that can give me a better picture, but I'm not sure what to expect in that regard.

I really enjoyed all the characters, but for very different reasons. Dallas was incredibly flawed and we can see pretty early on that there's a torturous tragedy in his past that he's running away from by using drugs, danger, bravado, and any and all kinds of avoidance. I'm sure there will be a sharing, a reckoning that will take place, but that wasn't here in this first book. So for trigger warnings, there is drug use, unfaithful partners, alcohol use, and servant/master type situations.

The two other characters that play a pivotal role may or may not be actual love interests and they intrigued me from the beginning as well. There's an incubus, Sias, who seems to care for Dallas, but has no commitment or intentionally tender moments to show us that there's more than a preferred "meal" situation between them. Is there a possibility for more? Definitely. There's also some incendiary spice between them in a club where Dallas is offered up as a delicacy...

Zane is the one that intrigued me the most out of the two possible interests there. There's a bit of an enemies to reluctant partners to possibly something more spicy to maybe lovers kind of situation brewing there. Because of the connection between Zane and Dallas there's bound to be confusion, frustration, and a reluctant amount of feels that may be misconstrued, argued away, and eventually explored. At least, I sure hope so!

I'm certainly looking forward to seeing the progression, all the types of progression, that we're going to get in this series. Opening of hearts, vulnerabilities, and a whole lot of answers needs to happen before the end of it though, otherwise I might revolt...kind of, haha.

There isn't an actual romantic relationship by the end of this first story and, to be honest, I'd be a little on the disappointed side of apprehension if either potential love interest is chosen over the other one at this point; I'm kind of hoping for an MMM situation even though that's not my preference in pairings. It kind of feels right for now to imagine that will be the outcome, but there are still two more books to go.

But really, the thing to keep in mind here is that in this first book you're going to feel lost, frustrated, intrigued, annoyed, disappointed, and eager for more all at the same time. Maybe you'll be more on one side than the other, but I think you should really give the rest of the series a shot before deciding overall that this just wasn't for you. This isn't the best showing of the author in a first-of-the-series way, but it is definitely their style and I'm sure we'll get something great to follow it up...well, after being stymied by more frustration first. There are A LOT of threads that need tying off because they keep getting dropped for no good reason.

Silent Knight: Fog City Book 5, Layla Reyne

 

Friends-to-Lovers is way too simple a trope for the men here.  I've already come to love these men so much throughout the previous stories in this series and I needed to know their story.  There is complication after complication, a wife and kid, deep affection, shared history, separation and reunion...what Brax and Holt have is so vast that they needed to tell their story, I needed to read it.

But something to keep in mind before reading...  This is the conclusion of the drama and danger surrounding the family and the villain is one that is important enough that you have to have context behind why it's such a huge deal and you won't get that by starting here with Silent Knight.  For that you have to dive in from the beginning with Prince of Killers.  It's also in the rest of the series that you see all the complicated mess and longing and affection that's apparent between Holt and Brax.  So my suggestion is to go back to where it all started.

Holt and Brax didn't get a trilogy like Chris and Hawes got, but the angst building up throughout all of that up to this moment was enough to make me yearn for Brax and Holt's story.  FINALLY!!  They get their HEA.  And while it took a long time to get there, including most of this book too, it happened.  We started with the past, the one hinted at but never shared before now.  In Brax's words, his feelings, we see just how deep his feelings went and how they built from their first fated meeting where he fell head over combat boots in love with the scared giant of a young soldier.  It answered all the secret questions of how a bond so strong could have existed.

Both men were fierce, caring, and committed to saving the other, almost to their own detriment.  Holt had been the quiet force, the tortured gentle soul in the other books in the series, but here we got to see him take charge, running in to save, to protect, and threatening their worst enemy for the sake of those he loves.  The ultimate villain was expected, but the way it played out, seeing everyone put the pieces together while also battling Brax's savior complex and his pride and stubbornness, it all worked out to a sufficiently dramatic confrontation that was resolved without the flash-bang of the drama and distractions that preceded it.

I do wish we had spent more time with them on the happier, more settled side of the conclusion.  It was a little too abrupt and off-page for all the angsting we'd done up to this point.  The choices made at the end were exactly right for everyone and I couldn't be happier with finally seeing Holt and Brax be together as they were meant to be.  There was a mention of a certain company, Redemption Inc., and I'm pretty much salivating over that becoming a new spin off series.  The world the author has created in San Francisco is addictive and compelling; I'd be ecstatic for another reason to rejoin it.

I'll protect you.

Holt doesn't understand why his best friend has been pushing him away for months.  But when Brax's life and career are threatened, Holt refuses to allow the distance any longer.

The Madigans protect their own, and Brax is family, whether he believes it or not.

I won't let anything happen to you either.

Forced together, Holt realizes his feelings for his best friend have changed.

His desire to explore the promise their single night together held is undeniable.

*Silent Knight is the fifth book in the Fog City romantic suspense series. It can be read as a stand-alone but is best enjoyed after reading books one through three of the series, in fact, it's definitely my opinion that you should really start with Prince of Killers.

The Hitman's Guide to Tying the Knot While Not Getting Shot: The Hitman's Guide Book 3, Alice Winters

It wouldn't be a Leland classic if there weren't over-the-top declarations and pew pew shenanigans and Hitman 3 does not disappoint.  I have to say it's Sarge and the dobermans that take the cake as my favorite bits in this book though.  While I continue to love Leland and adore Jackson, the puppers steal the show this time around.

There's a bit of maturity that happens here that was only hinted at before now and I'm incredibly glad to see it; Leland is finally settling into his skin and his place with Jackson's family.  Until it's threatened.  Surprisingly, and also a bit predictably, the danger comes from Jackson's past and not Leland's so there are a whole bunch of things we can't predict or assume that's going to come at them.  Making the focus shift onto Jackson and their need to protect one another while also learning to truly involve one another in the solution it brought that maturity I mentioned and it allows both men to both flounder and bloom.

Getting these men to the altar was a bit of a trial with all the crazy bombarding them as well as Ava, the resident monster-in-law.  I can't say I ever truly warmed up to her, but she did soften enough that I didn't mind her as much by the end.  There were quite a few bits in this story that I actually found myself skimming, unfortunately, and that was nearly every Ava scene as well as the Mila ones.  I love that she attached herself to Leland, but I felt a bit off that she did so while acting the way she did toward Jackson  It's probably because Jackson is my favorite character out of everyone though.  Also...she read way older than 7 so I had a hard time wrapping my head around her at all.

Ultimately it was bringing in Jackson's military past that was definitely the right approach for the third and "final" book.  Their story won't ever truly be finished, what with all the short stories and supporting/infiltrating roles they'll take when Cassel and Jeremy get their chance at the spotlight, but for now their "end" is full of all kinds of growth, hope, and silliness.  I'm not ready to leave their lives, but for now I'm left in a good place and can't wait for more in whatever form I can get them.

Leland
Is a nice little wedding with Blow-up Randy and Jackson My Love too much to ask for? Clearly, because someone’s trying to kill one of us… again. Generally, this would be my thing and I would jump right in singing my murder song, but they want Jackson dead and I will do anything (and I mean anything) to keep him alive—including and not limited to: ten Dobermans, bulletproof glass, and dragging Cassel in with the promise of more Jerebear. These people have no idea what they’ve done targeting the man I love because I’m coming after them. But when it feels like everything might be lost, I start to understand that I have a family now who will stand by my side and do everything they can to make sure we end this on our terms.

Jackson
When someone attacks me, it’s clear they want something from me. The issue is that I have no idea who they are or what they’re after. And if I don’t figure it out soon, I’m afraid Leland is going to smother me with his overprotectiveness (or put me in a bubble at the top of a tower). The issue is that time is ticking and with the price tag on my head, there’s no telling who is coming for me or when. Together, Leland and I have to decipher who is telling the truth in this game of life or death because I have plans to marry the man of my dreams and no one is going to stop me—especially with Leland by my side.

Bad Beat: Lady Luck Book 0, J.J. Anatoliy

I...I think I'm in love.

Cin and Silas are dark, tortured, hateful, vengeful, sexy, damaged, and utterly perfect for one another.  They have the ability to give one another exactly what they need while also being the catalyst to becoming something new together.  Their story is just as dark as their thoughts because the world they live in is unkind, but somehow they make most of their scenes together both hot and funny while simultaneously being utterly badA and deadly.  Their encounters with those that would destroy them are merciless and gruesome, but so very entertaining.

I love that the bad guys central to this story get their comeuppance because they are truly reprehensible and utterly disgusting humans and I'm thinking this is going to be the overarching thread that ties the whole series together.  I'm absolutely on the edge of my seat for more of Cin and Silas' brand of hilarious brutality.  Their interactions are perfect for them because they admit all the twisted things they love, their affection is disturbingly funny, and their brand of steam is absolutely electric.  And when you find a balance between their savagery with a certain type of bloodthirsty justice I think you've found a kind of magic formula that keeps readers like me champing at the bit for more.

This is admittedly a bloody tale, but there's something so engrossing about their story, their goals, and the characters that plot, maneuver, and assist them.  I'm incredibly intrigued about virtually every character we meet and while the idea that the behind-the-scenes powers is predictable, I have a feeling that we're in for a wild ride no matter who thinks they're pulling the strings.

T.A.G. You're Heard: T.he Assassins Guild. Book 2, A.G. Caruthers

With what we see in book one of Connor and Oz's relationship I wasn't expecting the huge backsliding we start off with that ultimately provides the moment needed to begin the chaos.  It becomes very clear when we get all the back story of both men that there's more under the surface than we could imagine.

There was a little too much internal angst on Oz's part and I think it became a little too "woe is me" when we got to re-read his hesitations, believed uselessness, and berating himself with virutally every switch over to his POV.  What I loved when things turned around was that it was an appropriately bossy boy to get Daddy's head on straight.

Their sexual dynamic was a good fit and I really liked how their roles were a little flipped from the stereotypes because it made for a much more interesting way to pair these two opposites together.  While the on-page sexual chemistry was a little tame, it was more touching than raunchy and I liked the change of pace from the first book.  Sweetness and tenderness were the hallmarks of this relationship more than the sexual preferences or even the crazy of the story itself.

With a beautiful wedding to show the immense love and care within the guild and among friends, this was a very sweet story overall, which I wasn't expecting, and the display of all that love was very touching.  I'm interested to see where we go and which men come together in the next book.

T.A.G. You're Seen: The Assassins' Guild Book 1, A.G. Carothers

Well.  Yeah.  That happened.  So I read the warnings and if you're apprehensive about any of them, proceed elsewhere because they're incredibly accurate.  While not all of them are to my tastes, it's clear that these men crave them all.  Yoshi and Jacob are in a tenuous situation because even though Yoshi is drawn to the other man, he's also supposed to kill him.  There's something not quite right about the whole thing, so with the prep work and observation under way, Yoshi is determined to get to the bottom of everything.  This story is not for the faint of heart or those with vanilla sensibilities.

And get to the bottom he does, in spectacular fashion.  The dynamic is hot and tender and extremely kinkaaaay.  What confuses me is the "danger" and the need to complicate everything twice over with the emotional plot as well as the history and Connor's investigation.  We were on the way to resolving things and were then thrust back to the feelings of betrayal and hurt before getting back on track only to have it all repeat again.  Jacob, Enrique, Connor, Yoshi...there are so many characters that get tossed in that it complicates feelings and the story a bit too much.  I wish Enrique weren't in the picture at all, and even if he's getting his own book, his role in this one shouldn't have been pushed in our faces so much, especially because we already have to deal with the emotional fallout from Jacob's past choices and Yoshi's current choice.  For the length of the story I wish it had been a little simpler.

I thought the sweetness, when present, was heartwarming and the opportunity for second-chances was well-founded.  It's true that distance and time was necessary for them to finally get on the same page, it just sucks that they needed all the hurtful things in the interim.  Honesty was lacking between them in their beginning, but they more than made up for it in the end.  And Connor's story is really what drew my interest for the series so as we got to know him here I feel that it's a perfect jumping off point to the pseudo-brother's journey.

Behemoth: Omega Assassins Club Book 3, Kiki Burrelli

I always love it when those that are perceived as the weak, those that only need protection, show everyone how incredibly bad-A they really are.  In this case, River is one of the best.  Not only is he stellar at his job, well, at least until he chooses Behemoth as a target, but he's honest with himself and knows what he's about.  That knowledge and determination and skill give him an inner strength that so many people lack.

And there's another special place in my heart for the big men that have only a desire to love and protect.  Sure, he might be a cold-blooded assassin, but that doesn't mean there isn't a heart buried down in there somewhere.  Behemoth's strength comes from his desire to put family above himself.  And River too.  When we finally get to see inside his great big heart there's no going back.  From the first moment I glimpsed more I knew he'd be perfect.

The connection between Behemoth and River begins with a more antagonistic side before it morphs into something infinitely dear.  I liked their banter, their confusion, and their boldness.  Combine that with some scorching chemistry and a whole lot of tender feels and you've pretty much got my favorite combination.  But I think it's the trust they have in one another that really sells me on them together.  Yes, Behemoth has a moment where he believes self-sacrifice and a little "bondage" is the right way to go, but once he realizes their futility he trusts River to be his bad-A self.

The relationship progressed well with very little angst and a whole lot of banked passion until one confrontation let it all out.  From that moment on it was clear to River that they were meant for one another.  I liked the clear road in his mind, that no matter the obstacle, he was in it for the long haul.  The drama that brought them together and gave them the most grief was pretty linear in that it made sense and flowed well.  While the villain was a bit cliche in their insanity and their accomplices, it wasn't less interesting because of it, it was just an obvious plot point that was well-written and worked for the story and the characters.

When the dust settles it's clear that there is more for them than just their jobs up to this point.  Together they have a family both in the OAC and in the little one they create.  Their world is one that I'd be interested in reading more of.  I didn't know about this series before this book and I'll definitely be looking into it.

The big, bad wolf meets his match in this pint-sized assassin…

When the angel of the Omega Assassins Club, River, is given a second chance on his latest mission, he swears this time, he’ll put that bullet where it belongs, right between the eyes of the hitman who nearly killed his packmate.

Known only as Behemoth, the hulking alpha hitman is feared due to his humongous bulk, but he’s not all talk. He’s a ruthless warrior who sold his soul long ago and has spent every moment since then earning his nightmarish reputation. So, when he catches the tiny omega trying to put an end to him, he should have no problem repaying the favor.

River’s inability to kill the alpha a second time forces him to believe there must be more to the man of legends beyond the way he makes River feel warm all over. How can he feel safety in arms that have done so much evil? Behemoth’s sole goal in life has been to protect his younger brother but the things he’s done to ensure a safe future have convinced him that he is a monster—only River can see through to the good man within.

But, Behemoth made his deal with the devil and now, the devil wants his due. All he has to do his hand over his angel.

Murder Aforethought: Cabrini Law Book 2, Parker St. John

Sometimes you wake up one day and have no idea that this is the day that will change your life forever.  Maksim definitely wasn't expecting the young man that would grow step by step to be his heart, nor was he expecting a whole heap of danger to nip at their heels the entire way.  But Maksim didn't get where he is today by giving up and his tenacity and determination will be what carries him into the life he never knew he wanted despite any and all obstacles, even if one of those obstacles is the very man he wants to share that life with.

Val caught my attention right from the very beginning.  You could so clearly see everything Maksim saw right away, that damaged and vulnerable inside covered under a hard shell.  In their attraction it was very much a case of like calls to like where they both know something of hardship and facades.  To protect the ones they love most they're willing to do and say what's necessary even if no one sees it as valor or anything other than despicable.  What I loved most about both of them is that we got right to their hearts and could see just how much they could provide a safe-haven for one another.

"I've been waiting 42 years for this kind of special." -Maksim

The drama was kinda big, but it actually fit quite well.  It worked well with the mob mentality and while there were a few threads that didn't find a conclusion, I'm almost sure we'll get those with Miguel's story...super excited for that one, by the way.  I can see who his partner will be and I'm really stoked to see how they overcome their pasts to find their future together.  What was included in this story for the drama didn't feel too outlandish or too big to "solve" by the end.

The one big issue I had was something that bothered me in Risk Assessment.  The person that sought out the other for reunion wasn't the one I felt should be the one to make the move.  Both men needed to find their place now that their eyes and hearts have been opened and Val really needed to see how valuable he is as a person, but if the person who did the chasing didn't actually make that move I feel they wouldn't have had another chance to be together.  Self-sacrificing is one thing, but stubborn and a martyr complex is another.  While it all turned out for the best in the end, I just wished the lead up to that moment had gone a little differently.  Overall though, the story was engaging as were the characters and I'm even more invested in the outcomes of everyone at Cabrini Law.
