1. 

P.S. It's Always Been You by Lauren Blakely

Lauren Blakely always makes it to my lists, her books are filled with great storylines and this book in particular had me intrigued from the very start. It has everything, from romance to solving a mystery that turns out to be a great adventure for the main characters. It was a fun read that I would highly recommend.💖🌎

The Breaking Season by K.A. Linde

I loved K.A. Linde's Cruel Series last year and I couldn't wait to read this year's Seasons Series. The Breaking Season is the perfect marriage of convenience story between two Upper East Side villains, Katherine and Camden (characters that we are introduced to in the Cruel Series). It's steamy, romantic and it has a great ending! 🔥😍

Royally Screwed by Emma Chase

I've been meaning to read this book for a while and didn't disappoint at all. Great royal romance with a great twist in the end. 👑😍

5.

The Ruthless Knight by Jeana E. Mann

This was a much darker story, full of suspense, mystery and lots of secrets. It definitely has some very interesting moments between the characters as they face the Columbia cartel and they have to rely on each other to make it out alive. It's a rollercoaster of emotions from beginning to end. Would highly recommend checking it out! 🔥

7.

My Brother's Roommate by Kendall Ryan

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Kendall Ryan, her stories are always sweet and full of emotions. Everyone is going to fall in love with Wolfie, he is a kind and totally swoon worthy!

8.

Van by Melanie Moreland

I couldn't decide between Van or Sandy to add to my list, so I have added both for different reasons. Van completely stole my heart, he has so much love to give and out of all the books that I've read this year, he is the best hero/male protagonist by far. I would highly recommend checking out the Vested Interest Series, you are not going to regret it! 💞

9.

Mafia Casanova by M. Robinson and Rachel Van Dyken

I love a good mafia romance and Mafia Casanova was favorite this year! It had me hooked from the very start, the characters are magnetic and have an undeniable chemistry to have you reading until the very end.

10.

Sandy by Melanie Moreland

This book surprised me in the best way possible, it was emotional and heartwarming. I can't say how many time I might have cried while reading, it was such perfect. You do need to read the rest of the Vested Interest Series to get a full grasp of Sandy's story and how she got to where she is. But you are going to love it, this book concludes the whole series and it does perfectly. I wouldn't change anything about it and the ending was everything. A must read! 😍

The Breaking Season by K.A. Linde

Release Date: July 21st 2020 by K.A. Linde Inc.

Series: Seasons #3

Pages: 331

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

A sexy stand alone arranged marriage romance from USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde...

I signed on the dotted line. A marriage contract to seal my union with the devil.

I thought I knew what I was doing. His money and name were mine for the taking. But Camden Percy always gets exactly what he wants. And what he wants is me—my body, my obedience, my surrender.

He wants to break me.

But I’m Katherine Van Pelt. I’ll never break. I’ll never beg. I’ll never give in.

Except I promised him one more thing—a baby. A Percy heir.

There’s no way out of this one. Either I comply or lose everything. 

Do I risk the husband I’m just learning to love or is this my breaking season?

My Review:

There is no denying that K.A. Linde has written some of my all-time favorite books and ever since we met Katherine and Camden in her Cruel Series, I’ve been eager to read their story. The Breaking Season is the third book in the Seasons Series and it did not disappoint at all. Linde did a great job brining these two Upper East Side villains together in this steamy arrange marriage story that will leave you wanting for more.

Katherine Van Pelt truly represents the Upper East Side. She is a wealthy socialite whose looks are adored by so many who follow her and she also gets to attend glamours events in town. Katherine is seen as someone who has everything and is envied for it. But behind her prestigious name, her life is falling apart. Ever since her father put their wealth in jeopardy, things have begin to change for her. It’s when she finds herself signing on the dotted line of her marriage contract that she doesn’t see who Camden really is. He promised her his money and name which it was easy for her to take, yet it’s time for him to get his end of the bargain and this time he wants an heir. Katherine has been through so much in her life that has contributed to why is the way she is and her stubborn nature is not letting her surrender to Camden no matter how much he tries to make things right with her. It would take a turn of events to make her see that he might just be right for me and she has to decide if she is willing to let her insecurities to be with the one she is falling in love with or not.

Camden Percy is the bad boy of Manhattan and everyone knows it. He holds a lot of power that makes him look intimidating and alluring at the same time. But he wants one person in his life and he is willing to do anything to get Katherine to finally surrender to him once and for all. What he wasn’t expecting to get from the marriage was a perfect match. They are similar in so many ways, both with equally messed up pasts that ultimately brings them closer the more they get to know one another. With new obstacles ahead of them, he’ll have to decide if he is willing to risk everything for Katherine or walk away completely.

I’m really happy that I got the chance to read the book, it had me hooked from beginning to end. There is so much sizzling chemistry between the characters and so many steamy/romantic scenes that had me swooning for them. Camden is the bad boy with the biggest heart. He truly wants to take care of Katherine and it takes her a bit to see that, but when she does their whole dynamic changes. Katherine is known to be the biggest villain in the Cruel Series and I’m happy to see that there is more to her than just money and looks. Now, I do think that the ending felt a bit rushed for me. I just wished the author could have added another chapter or two towards the end before getting to the sweet epilogue. It would have tied everything together that much more. All in all, if you haven’t read this series or the Cruel Series, then you have to do it! It gives a good perspective of the characters and then to see them fully develop in this story makes it so much better. I would highly recommend it and cannot wait to read The Faking Season. :)

**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title in exchange for an honest review**
