My Review

Moreland delivers a small town romance with all the feels in A Simple Love. This steamy and witty romance will hook you from beginning to end.

After working hard to earn his place in Hollywood, Oliver Hart, never imaged just how much his life was going to change in a very short amount of time. Going from Hollywood heartthrob to getting pulled from movies for his behavior. With news of him in the media, his agent decides to send Oliver away to rethink about his choices before it’s too late. Little did he know that by going back to the small he grew up in would give Oliver the chance to truly see what he really wants in life, including a second chance with the woman he left behind all those years ago to start his career.

Everyone makes choices in life that may or may not end up working and for Kassie Brennan she had to learn the hard way. After losing those she loved the most, she left town with a purpose only for her to be back to the place that has embraced her once again. Kassie never expected to see Oliver again, especially after the way things ended between them. Now he is going to be her tenant and being at close proximity with him is going to make things harder for Kassie. She can’t lose her heart again to a man that will eventually walk away from her if they don’t make things work.

I throughly enjoyed reading A Simple Love, the characters not only have great chemistry, but they were relatable as well. It’s evident just how much they still feel towards each other, but they have to overcome their pasts if they want a chance to be together. I loved the small town in the book and how the secondary characters also play a huge in part in their story. The ending was sweet and simple, we get a satisfying ending that truly completes their story. I would highly recommend checking it out as well as any other books by the author. You will not regret it!

Theo Williams loved and lost once and isn’t interested in doing it again. He has his family and friends, and plenty of women passing through his new hometown who are happy with a no-strings attached night of passion. Working as a partner at his cousin’s construction company, he’s perfectly content with his life—until he meets Collins Henderson, the one-night stand who will change his world forever.

Collins grew up on the wrong side of her small hometown. Thanks to her parents’ shady schemes, every local knows a Henderson cannot be trusted. She works hard as a paramedic, putting in every extra hour she can to save for a better life. But every time she starts to get ahead, her parents show up to pull her back down.

My Review:

In Madison’s latest release, Falling for You, she delivers a new beginnings and second chance romance. As the first book in the Falling For Series, this steamy romance will leave you wanting for more!

For Theo Williams, moving to a small town was only temporary until he found his place working with his cousin and then becoming business partners. CW Constructions keep Theo busy, going from site to site. He is not interested in serious relationships, until he meets an unexpected gorgeous stranger in the middle of the night that changes his life forever. What was supposed to be a one-night stand becomes so much more the minute Theo sees her again weeks later. As a paramedic, Collins Henderson doesn’t have much a social life outside of her work. She’s worked really hard to get to where she is, trying to save up enough to be able to get out of the town that detests her family. But that only changes when she unexpectedly meets the man that would alter her future. Now Collins is expecting his baby and she has to come clean about her family before it’s too late.

I throughly enjoyed reading Falling for You, the characters were relatable and their chemistry was off-the-charts from the very beginning. The setting takes places at a small town who has been hurt by Collin’s parents and as they get to know each other well. The more, we get to see why Collins thinks that she is undeserving of love. Theo comes in at the right time, he feels bad for the way things went after their night together, but he is all in to take care of both of them. He just needs to convince Collins that he truly loves her. All in all, if you are looking for a steamy small town romance with a twist than I would highly recommend checking it out. :)

Rosie

To others, Enzo is a ruthless and dangerous underboss, a son of the Falco bloodline. But to me, he’s the one man I can’t stop wanting.
Broody temptation wrapped in tattoos.

There’s a secret I’ve carried for years. At a friend’s club, I set up a date with a stranger to lose my V-card.
No faces. No talking.

Turned out the stranger was Enzo.
He doesn’t know it was me, the girl in the dark who gave him everything, then erased herself like she was never there.

To Enzo, I’m just Rosie, nothing more than a friend and the Cosa Nostra’s hacker.

Because when the enemy comes for the Cosa Nostra, I do what I’ve always done, I protect what’s mine…even if it costs me everything.

For years, I told myself Rosie was just a friend. Never mine to want, because I chose our friendship over a truth that would’ve changed everything.

Rosie was my heartbeat and now she’s gone.

Nothing and no one will stand in my way of getting what’s mine, and once I have her in my arms, I will make damn sure everyone knows she belongs to me.

My Review:

Saved by a God is Heard’s last book in the Kings of Mafia Series. This friends-to-lovers mafia romance had me hooked from beginning to end. It’s a must-read!

At the beginning of the story we are introduced to Rosellina La Rosa, Rosie, who has been trained all her life to take over her dad as the Cosa Nostra’s IT expert. Since she doesn’t have any older siblings, Rosie will also have to represent her family and become the fifth capo in the Cosa Nostra. Yet, it’s that part of the business that she dreads the most, Rosie is an excellent hacker, but when it comes to dealing with other criminal organizations she feels sick. It’s the violence that makes her uncomfortable. No matter how much her family tells her, it’s her best friend Enzo whose opinion she takes to heart the most. As a friend, Enzo brings her comfort, even though she’s also had a massive crush on him for a very long time. But he’s made it clear that he is not interested in a relationship or damage their friendship. Leaving her no choice, but to lose her virginity to a stranger. Not realizing that that moment would haunt her later. Before she could do anything about it, there is a threat to the Cosa Nostra and Rosie ends up putting her life on the line in order to save those she loves.

As a ruthless underboss, Enzo Falco is too busy protecting the Cosa Nostra as we all his family. He doesn’t have time for a relationship, at least that’s what he keeps telling himself and those around him. But in reality, Enzo has always had feelings for his best friend, Rosie. There is no one else that understands him the way she does and that is the same reason why he can’t pursue a relationship with her. Enzo would hate himself if he ever hurt her. Protecting her and their friendship is what keeps him going. Until the unthinkable happens and her fortress comes under attack. Taking her away from in the process, Enzo vows to do whatever it takes to bring her back home and make her his for good before it’s late.

I can’t believe the Kings of Mafia Series has come to a close. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Saved by a God, it was full of romance and suspense. It’s evident from the very start that Enzo and Rosie are really good friends. Enzo is able to go to Rosie when he needs her the most and vice versa. Everyone around them knows how tight they are, but it’s hard for them to admit the fact that they are in love with each other. Yet, Rosie is also struggling with her role as capo for the Cosa Nostra. She’d rather be behind a computer than be out where the action usually takes Enzo and the rest of the capos. I loved their interactions with the rest of their family members as well. Then an event happens that truly changes their lives forever and Rosie is put in a position where she has to use all that she knows in order to save herself and those around her. I only wish we could’ve gotten more of their relationship towards the end of the story or a years later epilogue would have really concluded their story better. I still loved the series as a whole and would highly recommend checking it out. You will not regret it!:)
