Bride

Ali Hazelwood

A dangerous alliance between a Vampyre bride and an Alpha Werewolf becomes a love deep enough to sink your teeth into in this new paranormal romance. Misery Lark, the only daughter of the most powerful Vampyre councilman of the Southwest, is an outcast—again. Her days of living in anonymity among the Humans are over: she has been called upon to uphold a historic peacekeeping alliance between the Vampyres and their mortal enemies, the Weres, and she sees little choice but to surrender herself in the exchange—again... Weres are ruthless and unpredictable, and their Alpha, Lowe Moreland, is no exception. He rules his pack with absolute authority, but not without justice. And, unlike the Vampyre Council, not without feeling. It’s clear from the way he tracks Misery’s every movement that he doesn’t trust her. If only he knew how right he was…. Because Misery has her own reasons to agree to this marriage of convenience, reasons that have nothing to do with politics or alliances, and everything to do with the only thing she's ever cared about. And she is willing to do whatever it takes to get back what’s hers, even if it means a life alone in Were territory…alone with the wolf.

Ali Hazelwood

Viola Bowen has the chance of a lifetime: to design a video game based on her all-time favorite book series. The only problem? Her co-lead is Jesse F-ing Andrews, a.k.a. her arch-nemesis. Jesse has made it abundantly clear over the years that he wants nothing to do with her–and Viola has no idea why. When their bosses insist a wintery retreat is the perfect team-building exercise, Viola can’t think of anything worse. Being freezing cold in a remote mountain lodge knowing Jesse is right next door? No, thank you. But as the snow piles on, Viola discovers there’s more to Jesse than she knew, and heat builds in more ways than one.

The RayView: ✨✨✨✨✨ The HeatRay: How It Be Spicin’?:🌶️🌶️🌶️ . Okay, after Heartsong I HAD to read Gavriel and Carys’ story. I loved learning about their centuries together and how they spent that time amongst the history of the world. I really can’t wait to read more of this world.

Sweet Obsession (Dark Olympus, #8)

Katee Robert

He was mine to protect. Mine to adore. Mine to lose forever. Icarus may not have flown particularly close to the sun, but he has fallen…right into the rough hands of Olympus's own Poseidon. Being held captive by the gentle giant wouldn't be so bad if Olympus wasn't on the eve of destruction…or if Poseidon stopped looking at him with those irresistibly stormy eyes. Poseidon doesn't have time to babysit his increasingly bratty prisoner, but he has no Olympus is officially at war, and someone has to keep their best bargaining chip out of harm's way. The thing is, the longer Poseidon is with Icarus, the more he starts to care for his sworn enemy...and the more he realizes that Icarus isn't the villain he's been made out to be. There's a warmth to him, a vulnerability, that Poseidon finds difficult to ignore or deny. Now with Circe and the Aeaens at the gate and Olympus a hair's breadth away from falling, Poseidon will have to make a difficult about himself, about his allegiances, and about the man who woke his heart from its long slumber only to threaten to break it for good... A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Poseidon and Icarus.

The RayView:✨✨✨✨✨ The HeatRay: How It Be Spicin’?:🌶️🌶️🌶️ . CW - Animal injury . The freaking web that this series weaves. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 But the cliffhanger?! Here I was thinking it was four books and then it ends like THAT?! Dang it. 😂 I really enjoyed this book! Merc and Rahil have a tangled past and I enjoyed the older ages of the characters. It felt more mature in how things were handled. Single parent novels typically aren’t my fave as a child of divorce however this was well done. I had a hard time putting it down.

Dark Restraint (Dark Olympus, #7)

Katee Robert

Ariadne Vitalis is in trouble. She's betrayed her father―and his benefactor―and now she's left to rely on the questionable mercy of Olympus to keep her safe. As with everything in this city, mercy comes with a price. For Ariadne, that means a marriage to Dionysus. She has no choice but to agree, even if there's only one man she's ever wanted―a man she's feared just as much as she desires. The Minotaur never had any illusions about Minos's plans. He was willing to get his hands dirty as long as the old man kept his word―at the end of this, the Minotaur would be given Ariadne as a reward. Nowhere in that deal was her walking down the aisle to a different man. She's meant for him, and he means to have her. Ariadne knows better than to encourage the Minotaur. Her relationship with her new fiancé might be more friendship than burning passion, but she is all too aware of how much fiery passion can hurt. She and the Minotaur are no good for each other. She can never forgive him for what he's done, and he can never change. But when his hands are on her body and his wicked words are whispered in her ear, she might just be willing to let all of Olympus burn…

The RayView:✨✨✨✨✨ The HeatRay: How It Be Spicin’?:🌶️🌶️🌶️ . D.N. Bryn is amazing at their representation in writing, both in orientation and medical diagnosis’. This novel was no exception. Andres and Shane are such a fun pair. I love Andres’ flourish for clothing and sewing one of a kind pieces for himself and his swan. The plot around the series feels like it’s heating up and I hope they either turn a new leaf or crash and burn entirely. 💅🏻

The RayView:✨✨✨✨✨ The HeatRay: How It Be Spicin’?:🌶️🌶️🌶️ . How dare you make me feel my own feels near the end?! Audacity. 😂 Justin and Clementine are so flirty and oblivious and fighting of things amuses me. But near the ending? Shame on you. 😮‍💨😭😂 Don’t even get me started about the cliffhanger. 😩 There’s also SO much representation in this book and I adored every second!
