Until June (Until Her #2) by Aurora Rose Reynolds @auroraroser

When I see a new release is coming.. Well actually when I see the ideas and teasers by this author, way before release, I get super excited. I'm on pins and needles. Ever since Until November she's been one of my top #AutoRead authors for seriously devoted alpha males. While we are onto her 2nd generation of #Boom and it's still going hot and strong. I've always loved the layers of family, friendship and support all of her stories are shown. Such a vast and varied cast of characters and everyone of them have a strong and unique voice. With second chance love stories there is a very delicate balance. What reasons broke them apart? Did they still love each other? But for me it's so much more. I don't want them out sleeping with everyone but saying how much they love their ex.. Because that ain't love folks. Well have no fear because Aurora put the R back into Romance!!    Here we have a truly devoted and absolutely loyal hero and he so  melted my heart and have me back my faith in book boyfriends.       #PerfectAlpha A piece of paper didn't change the vow Evan made. While he broke her heart and pushed her away where there seemed no hope.. June really didn't move on because her heart wasn't hers anymore. Evan still owned it. Once these two knocked down some walls their sweet and Sexy romance heated up everything around them. I devoured this book and was left with a smile on my face. So many more of these Mayson family characters have stories to tell and I simply can't wait. I seriously got chills reading about Ashlyn being bossy with the huge and intimidating Harlen. There is nothing like the biggest alphas falling hard and completely for their girl.        One thing remains true and that is this author brings love from her heart and her experiences right into the fabric and soul of her stories. You'll feel the heartache and you'll feel the heaven on each page.

Deception (Mafia Ties book 1) by Fiona Davenport @AuthorFionaD

Holy heck I'm blown away.  Nic was absolutely perfect alpha approved and totally obsessed just how I like my heroes .  Single dad who is so sweet with his baby girl and over the moon for his Gianna too.       Sexy times and sweetness had me flying through this in record time and I wanted to absolutely cry when it ended because I know so much more goodness is coming soon.  This is one series I'm counting the days for on each installment.     The suspense is growing and the love story took off with a serious bang.      #SafeRead #oneclicknow #PerfectHero  #KindleUnlimited

The Bird and the Sword by Amy Harmon @aharmon_author

We are taught at a young age that there is power in the word . . Healing, pain and grace all in the words from our lips . We can condemn, we can forgive. We can praise and we can destroy.    All with letters strung together.. Forming powerful weapons that can harm and extraordinary tools that can heal the deepest wounds on the soul.  Imagine no words.. The very thing we need to communicate taken from you. But more than that it's forbidden. For your own safety and those around you. Swallow, daughter, pull them in, those words that sit upon your lips. Lock them deep inside your soul, hide them ‘til they’ve time to grow. Close your mouth upon the power, curse not, cure not, ‘til the hour. You won’t speak and you won’t tell, you won’t call on heaven or hell. You will learn and you will thrive. Silence, daughter. Stay alive. *The Bird and The Sword by Amy Harmon*   Lark started life in a troubling time where the gifted were condemned and her mother struck down for that reason. We follow Lark on a journey into not only her destiny but a road that brought great change to the world. That fateful day that Lark lost her words.. She met a boy. Tiras, destined to one day rule.  Little did she know that some words lived on. Grew and changed and effected their lives in inexplicable ways. That's all of the plot I'll give away. I don't think it would do any reader justice to know anything else beforehand because this story is just too beautiful and too terrifyingly intense to not go in blindly. You'll experience some things I do want you prepared for. Friendships that Transcend blood, time, and circumstances. Evil that will break your heart. This was a love story that will permanently mark that same heart forever.  Tiras and Lark are what romance is really meant to be.        A love story that isn't perfect, but broken into pieces that one day find their way back into something more..  Passion like this is something I long for in my stories and that is why Amy Harmon is always going to be my #1AutoReadAuthor.     Amy Harmon creates tales that weave  everything good , everything pure  and all things that are  love in its purest form.   To get to that level you'll fight with amazing characters through challenges that will shake your very own foundation but she'll always give you a sweet place to land.  #MustRead #PerfectHero #SafeRead

Blackmailing the Virgin by Alexa Riley @_AlexaRiley

I dive into an Alexa Riley with my heart already open like a sponge.    Ready to absorb all the goodness inside. I know I'll get an Alpha and I'll get some passion that will heat up my pages. The things that I always love about Alexa Riley stories are that the hero is so freaking possessive and he knows what he wants from the start. Well I know that authors can't write the same cookie cutter story each time and to stay fresh and relevant they have to change things up now and then...and every story must stand on it's own and be unique . The characters must have individual identities and also stand on their own too. So I will say that even though this wasn't my favorite of AR books, I did like it a lot. This new series has way more angst than previous books. I do realize they are going for the old school HQ type feel. So I know that lovers of that type of angst will be in heaven. My problem is I am so freaking spoiled..and it's this author duo's fault totally.    I am used to the hero chasing and not wasting time..nope not months down the road.. I'm not used to painful words and such long time apart.   I'll admit it's ME and I'm the SAP. I am spoiled to sweet and possessive. So ..yea    So after a not too great introduction to this hero I kept going and knew that they'd pull him around. I felt a lot of the same feelings the heroine had. I wanted to shake him when Calder uttered the words "That's over now"    because to me that was just WRONG and misleading and led Felicity to think things that only caused her more pain. Then Felicity drove me bonkers when she let him touch her right away after so long apart. But then Calder goes and starts doing SWEET and SEXY things    I found myself falling for him too.  I felt like I'm betraying myself because he had me so mad to begin with. But I started thinking..This author team is really magic at taking our emotions for a big roller coaster ride..the ups and downs are swift and thrilling. But most of all they always have a SOFT LANDING.   One plus side is I absolutely loved MARK and want his story. Any guy who would stand up for his friend like that..well he's a real MAN for sure. I might have started frowning and mad..but I did end up Swooning & Satisfied. Wonderful Epilogue!!  4 Stars..can't wait for more.
