Forbidden Hearts by Corinne Michaels is now live! First rule of being a nanny? Don’t fall for the single dad, even if he is smoking hot.

Neither of us is thrilled with the arrangement, but he’s desperate for help, and I need the money for grad school this fall. All we need to do is keep our distance and remain professional . . . turns out, that’s easier said than done.

Lessons in Sin by Pam Godwin is now live! There's no absolution for the things I've done. But I found a way to control my impulses. I became a priest. As Father Magnus Falke, I suppress my cravings. As the headteacher of a Catholic boarding school, I'm never tempted by a student. Until Tinsley Constantine. The bratty princess challenges my rules and awakens my dark nature. With each punishment I lash upon her, I want more. In my classroom, private rectory, and bent over my altar, I want all of her. One touch risks everything I stand for. My faith. My redemption. And even my life. As if that could stop me. I need her pain, and her heart, and she needs my lessons in sin. ***5 ‘Team Tinsley’ Stars*** This book surprised me, in a good way (obviously), because it gave me all the dark and sensual moments that I’ve come to expect from this author, but it also gave me two characters I felt like I truly knew inside and out and got too see grow and become just who they were always me...

Cover Design: Najla Qamber Cover Model: Justin Clynes "You don't go around kissing your best friend's dad, do you? Even though that's all you ever dream about." Violet Moore is in love with a man who hates her. Well, to be fair, she kinda deserves it. On her eighteenth birthday, she got drunk and threw herself at him, causing the biggest scandal of their sleepy suburban town. Now, everyone thinks she’s a slut and he has disappeared. Rumor has it that he’s been living up in the mountains of Colorado, all alone and in isolation. But Violet is going to make it right. She’s going to find him and bring him back. No matter how cruel and mean he is. Or how much he hurts her with his cold-hearted and abrasive ways, she won’t give up. And neither will she think about his tempting lips or his sculpted muscles or his strong hands. The hands that she wants on her body, touching her, feeling her skin… The hands that make her want to fo...

***5 Stars*** The blurb was the hook. I read it and I knew I had to find out more because I do love me some taboo/forbidden lovin’ and this baby delivered in spades. It was sensual, sexy and heartbreaking and that ending has me wishing the next book was waiting on the Kindle already because I NEED to know what will happen next! I adored Liam and Samantha. Liam is hard, sometimes cold and has so many layers of Kevlar surrounding his heart you’d think he wasn’t human...and yet he is so starkly human it hurts because he cares deeply but only sees it as a weakness. Samantha has been sheltered and has her moments of naïveté but she’s also solid in a way that makes her more mature than most realize and has heart that is more empathetic than most can understand. Their journey, thus far, is quite rough, though don’t see that changing in the near future for them considering the circumstances of their relationship and where things left off at the end of the book. But I really liked...
