Review
(By Cindy)

"Stolen Touches" is the first book I've read from author Neva Altaj. It's always a pleasant surprise to find a new author and a new series!

Mob boss Salvatore Ajello is attracted to Milene from the first time he lays eyes on her. Could it have been her less-than-cordial greeting of "Move, you idiot?" No one, and that means NO ONE talks to Salvatore Ajello that way and lives to tell about it. But there's something about Milene that Salvatore finds equally intriguing and confusing

Milene Scardoni is no stranger to the mob. In fact, her aversion to everything it stands for is part of the reason she's hiding from the Chicago Family in probably the most dangerous city imaginable. Perhaps that's what her undeniable attraction to Salvatore is all about. Who knows, It's clear there's something between Salvatore and Milene, but whether that attraction can survive once they discover each other's real identities remains to be seen.

I loved Salvatore and Milene's story. Both of these characters are interesting in their own right, and the dual perspective approach the author uses to tell their story helps the reader discover both characters from their own perspectives. We see Salvatore as more than a cold-blooded, ruthless mob boss. We find there's more to Milene than a spoiled mob princess. Neither are strangers to Cosa Nostra, but their journey to finding their "own thing" takes the reader on a series of emotional ups and downs, including unthinkable violence, swoon-worthy schmexy scenes, and yes, even a smile or two along the way.

In a Jam by Kate Canterbary - Cover Reveal



Kate Canterbary has revealed the
cover and blurb  for In a Jam!




Releasing August 30, 2022

When Shay Zucconi's step-grandmother died, she left Shay a tulip farm--under two conditions.

First, Shay has to move home to the small town of Friendship, Rhode Island. Second--and most problematic since her fiancĂ© just called off the wedding--Shay must be married within one year. 

Marriage is the last thing in the world Shay wants but she'll do anything to save the only real home she's ever known.

Noah Barden loved Shay Zucconi back in high school. Not that he ever told her. He was too shy, too awkward, too painfully uncool to ask out the beautiful, popular girl. 

A lifetime later, Noah is a single dad to his niece and has his hands full running the family business. That old crush is the farthest thing from his mind.

Until Shay returns to their hometown and turns his life upside down.

On the Edge by Aleatha Romig - Release Blast

 

Release Date: May 11


From New York Times best-selling author Aleatha Romig comes a stand-alone new-adult, romantic thriller where love is new, and monsters lurk in expensive suits behind million-dollar smiles. 

 

Woodland Cliffs Country Club is the crown jewel of the small Monterey-area seaside town. It’s comfortable stomping grounds for those born to money and opportunity. With the club’s esteemed members from near and far, it’s not unusual to spot celebrities, business tycoons, or those with even more power. 

 

It isn’t the glamour or intrigue that attracts Rae Watson to seek a summer job at the Cliffs. As a struggling college student, she simply wants to earn money for her senior year at the university and concentrate on classes. 

 

When Rae’s friend helps secure her summer employment at the Cliffs, Rae willingly accepts. She quickly learns there’s more to the Cliffs, particularly the hidden world of those the country club employs. 

 

The lives of the elite and those who serve them are worlds apart. 

 

What will that mean for Rae and the handsome blue-eyed college student who makes her swoon? 

 

Will she discover the secrets purged from the high cliffs, waiting to be found on the rocky shores, or will she find herself on the edge?


Have you been Aleatha’d?  

*ON THE EDGE is a small town, friends-to-lovers, romantic thriller, stand-alone novel.

*Fans of Downton Abbey are raving about this modern-day version, in ON THE EDGE.


Review

By Cindy


Wait, what?

Okay, so I know this is a standalone, but with the way this story ended, I'm really hoping for more. "On the Edge" is full of the drama and page-turning intrigue that Aleatha Romig readers have come to expect and crave. I was never sure who to trust and what to believe. Even that ending had me metaphorically closing the book and shaking my head. Loved, loved, loved it, and definitely hoping for more.

Kingdom Come by Aleatha Romig - Release Blast

Release Date: November 16


They say the price of freedom is learning that you have nothing left to lose.

There was a time when I had it all. Money. Power. Love. And in the blink of an eye, it was gone.

Along the road to my new life, I have a chance meeting with Cecilia Abernathy. Born to greatness, this American princess is out of my league. That doesn’t mean I don’t see her for the woman she is behind the headlines. In a rare glimpse I see not only her outward beauty but her inner determination. I’m moved by her in ways I don’t allow myself to ponder.

Time passes and I’m moving forward, persevering beyond my loss, and making a new name for myself. And then I’m given an assignment.

One job.
One quest.

If I succeed, my kingdom will be at hand.
If I fail, there will be no more chances.

Men like me aren’t saviors, and that isn’t my assignment. My mission is to find the daughter of one of the most powerful men in New York, in the country, and maybe the world. Find her and deliver her to her family’s rival.

Cecilia Abernathy has been kidnapped. All I have to do is exchange her current hell for another. And then I can walk away and claim my reward.

Has my taste of freedom made me willing to sell my soul for a kingdom?

Find out the answer in KINGDOM COME, a dangerous forced-proximity stand-alone romance by New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig. 


Review
By Cindy

Aleatha Romig has done it again! Kingdom Come is an underworld thrill ride packed with all the danger, deception and betrayal readers have come to expect from this author. This standalone starts like a shot out of a gun and travels at the speed of light page after page.

Rough and smooth, hard and soft, ruthless and caring, Greyson Ingalls may just be my favorite Aleatha bad boy yet. Couple him with the strength, resilience and smarts of Cecelia Abernathy, and what we’ve been given is a power couple the likes of which readers have never seen.

Amazing storytelling, heart-stopping twists and turns, Kingdom Come grabs you from page one and simply doesn’t let go.

If you ask me who the queen of Alphas is, I'd tell you unequivocally, it's Aleatha Romig. Just when I thought she'd eclipsed the Alpha male with Sterling Sparrow, Aleatha brings us Everett Ramses.  Rett is an enigmatic contrast of gentle and callous, good and evil.  It's been a long time since a book gripped me so hard I sacrificed sleep, but Devil's Duet.... well, let's just say my book rut is officially over.
