Goodreads Review – “This book was absolutely fantastic and it’s on the darker side of my reading but let me just say that Autumn didn’t disappoint me with this book.”

Protecting a helpless stranger could be my redemption, or my biggest mistake.

Brett

I’m not a hero.

I’m a single dad who’s lost his way. I’ve finally put the never ending-parties on hold, trading drugs for bedtime stories, alcohol for girlie tea parties and pleasure for pain.

These days my daughter is the only priority, not the woman who showed up out of nowhere, claiming to be family.

Raen Cartier begged for my help––a stunning contradiction of beauty scarred by torture.

Saving her could be the worst mistake of my life or the only way to find peace.

Raen

He’s my only hope.

My sister was murdered. I was stolen. There isn’t a shred of my existence left in the world. Now, I’m in Dublin, begging a powerful stranger to rescue me. A man who flatly refuses to save the woman he’s never met before. The father to my niece.

Without the affluent Brett De Courcy’s help, my pitiful days are numbered.

I never expected him to trap me, or that I’d fall in love with the forbidden.

If you adore tortured heroes who deserve a second chance at love, with a story shadowed in darkness and a hint of suspense, then the latest standalone by international bestselling author, Autumn Archer is waiting for you.

Autumn is an International Bestselling Author from Northern Ireland who writes romance aimed at your heart. She’s a teen wrangler, dog slave, star-gazer and matcha lover who thrives on the written word.

Her novels delve into the darker element of life at times, giving her romantic suspense books a curious edge, with alpha men who have to work hard to win over strong women. That being said, she also loves to write sweet and swoony books to make your heart soar.

Autumn’s books follow her soul, with equal parts playful to enigmatic.

“When there is darkness, the light will always follow.”

Excerpt

“Babe,” he growled. A warning. Definitely. I’d gone too far. I also didn’t care. “Okay, so then does Tia have to sleep with one, or, say, all of your boys?” “Don’t do that shit. You know that’s not what I’m talkin’ about.” “So maybe you’ll explain what you’re talking about.” “I would, you shut your trap.” I shut my trap and stared at his shadowed head. He stared at mine. Then he muttered, “Christ, need my head examined.” “You could get off me,” I reminded him. “Is this shuttin’ your trap?” I shut my trap again. “You take of care my house and my business as well as me.” “What does that mean?” “That means you move outta the apartment before they kick your ass out. You move into my house. You keep it clean. You keep me fed, that is, when I’m not feedin’ you, and I like to cook, so mostly, I’ll be feedin’ you. You come to work with me and take care of the office, and you go home with me.” Wow. Was he serious? That sounded like…it sounded like… My God, it didn’t sound like a sex-for-safety arrangement. It sounded like a relationship.

Blog Tour ~ Condemned to Love ~ by ~ Siobhan Davis

“Condemned to Love will hook you from page one and make you fall in love.”– Alley Ciz, bestselling author

Condemned to Love, an all-new stand-alone dark mafia romance from USA Today bestselling author Siobhan Davis, is available now!

Her teen crush is now a ruthless killer and powerful mafia heir. Will one life-altering night unite or destroy them?

Bennett Mazzone grew up ignorant of the truth: he is the illegitimate son of the most powerful mafia boss in New York. Until it suited his father to drag him into a world where power, wealth, violence, and cruelty are the only currency. Celebrating her twenty-first birthday in Sin City should be fun for Sierra Lawson, but events take a deadly turn when she ends up in a private club, surrounded by dangerous men who always get what they want. And they want her. Ben can’t believe his ex’s little sister is all grown up, stunningly beautiful, and close to being devoured by some of the most ruthless men he has ever known. The Vegas trip is about strengthening ties, but he won’t allow his associates to ruin her perfection. Although it comes at a high price, saving Sierra is his only choice. The memory of Ben’s hands on her body is seared into Sierra’s flesh for eternity. She doesn’t regret that night. Not even when she discovers the guy she was crushing on as a teenager is a cold, calculating killer with dark impulses and lethal enemies who want him dead. Understanding the risks, she walks away from the only man she will ever love, stowing her secrets securely in her heart. Until the truth becomes leverage and Sierra is drawn into a bloody war—a pawn in a vicious game she doesn’t want to play. As the web of deceit is finally revealed, Ben will stop at nothing to protect Sierra. Even if loving her makes him weak. In a world where women serve a sole purpose, and alliances mean the difference between life and death, can he fight for love and win?

Excerpt

SIERRA Just as I was starting to lose my anger, it returns full force, slapping me in the face. “I don’t want your dirty money!” I hiss, prodding my finger in his chest. An amused grin spreads across his mouth, and I want to scream. “I run several successful legitimate businesses. I assure you my money is about as dirty as yours.” He has an answer for everything. It’s infuriating. “You truly have no shame,” I seethe. How dare he invade my privacy like this. He has no right. “Next, you’ll be telling me you know my bra size.” His eyes lower to my chest, and I scowl, wanting to wrap my arms around myself to deprive him of the view. But I won’t give him the satisfaction of letting him know how much he is getting to me either, so I don’t move a muscle. “You were definitely a B cup in Vegas, but I’m guessing you’re a C cup now.” He steps a little closer, and though my instinct is to fall back, I stand my ground, refusing to let this asshole intimidate me again. Bending down, he presses his warm mouth to my ear. “I would need to conduct a physical exam to make an accurate assessment.” I push him away, glaring at him. “You’re a pig.” His lips pull up at the corners. “I don’t remember you complaining in Vegas. In fact, I distinctly remember you begging me to suck harder on your nipples as I plowed my cock into your greedy pussy.” “Get out!” I bark, pointing at the door. “Just go.” He winks, and I invoke every shred of willpower I possess not to lunge at him and gouge out his eyeballs. “Until tomorrow.” He gives me a curt nod before exiting my kitchen, and I slump back in my chair, relieved he is gone but a little disappointed too.

A cute and curvaceous executive assistant.

A sexy and smart tech entrepreneur and billionaire.

What happens when their paths cross at the masquerade ball? Will she tell him who she really is?

Ella

I’ve dreamt of being swept off my feet by a handsome prince and getting my Happily Ever After, just like in the romance novels I read. But I’ve never had a boyfriend or even been kissed. To be honest, I don’t think guys even notice I’m there. So, when I had a chance to be a mysterious woman at the ball and finally get my prince to notice me, I went for it. And notice me he did. But will he still want me after he finds out who I am?

Marius

When I found out my (ex-)girlfriend was sleeping with my best friend, I decided to focus all my attention on my billion-dollar business rather than try to find a woman to settle down with. But at the San Francisco Storm Masquerade Ball Fundraiser, I saw her. The perfect woman I’d been waiting for. When the clock struck midnight, I still didn’t know her name or even what her face looked like, but I remembered the sexy curves of her body. And I wasn’t letting her get away. I needed to know who she was. She would be mine.

UNMASKED is a steamy and sexy multicultural retelling of Cinderella, the original ‘One Who Got Away.’

I have missed the Billionaire Bad Boys!! And truth be told, I hadn’t really thought about them in a bit, when I heard about this collection, I was mistaking Thatch for Kline… Don’t tell Thatch! I had forgotten how swoony Kline truly is! If I didn’t know who Thatch was, I’d be all about Kline. He’s definitely in a tie with Thatch as my favorite. Don’t tell Wes. There are 2 books of Kline that I’ve already read but then I surprise Valentine’s Day novella featuring Kline and Georgie. And of course, Thatch, Cassie and Wes. It was definitely nice to just read 1 couples’ stories from beginning to end without having additional stories in between. It was a nice change of pace from normal series stories. I’m sure it was hard to keep the swoony Kline Brooks into just 1 collection though! I won’t lie and say that I’m not hoping there will be a Thatch collection – as I’m SURE a lot of readers will say. Although I’m sure that might be longer than a collection with the personality of Thatch and Cassie. 5 stars!!

About Max Monroe A duo of romance authors team up under the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling pseudonym Max Monroe to bring you sexy, laugh-out-loud reads.

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Release Date: March 7, 2021

BLURB

Dear Ida,

Never in a million years did I think I’d turn to an advice column for help, but I’m stuck. Moving to New York is my dream come true, but the big city is a tough place to navigate for a small-town, southern girl like me. Luckily, fate sent me my very own knight in shining armor.

Only Whitaker Aldrich didn’t ride in on his white steed to save me. He picked me up on his Harley Davidson, wearing a leather jacket and sporting a cocky smirk that doesn’t bode well for my man free diet. He screams one-night stand.

But there’s so much more to him than that bad boy billionaire persona. He’s thoughtful and kind and his six-year-old son is his entire world.

That twinkle in his brilliant green eyes makes me weak in the knees and I’m terrified that I won’t be able to protect my already bruised heart. I should probably say no when he asks me to be his nanny, right?

Yeah, getting involved with Whit would be a huge mistake.

I should definitely say no. Maybe… Possibly?

Help!

Yours truly,

The Billionaire’s Babysitter

EXCERPT

“Did you leave this note on my computer?”

I turned it toward him, but he didn’t even look at it. Instead, he kept his intense gaze on mine. “Finally,” he muttered, followed by a resounding, “Yes.”

My breath picked up and all of a sudden, I felt like I’d climbed ten flights of stairs. “The night we ran into each other at the club?”

“Yes,” he answered again quickly, stepping even closer to me, until we were toe-to-toe.

He was still looking at me like he was going to devour me. Like I was eight of his favorite tacos. It scared the hell out of me. It made me so hot, I could have burned down this house.

“Did you mean it? I mean, do you still mean it?” I stuttered out, my core throbbing, my nipples aching. What the hell kind of magic had the man put on me?

“Yes,” he answered again, this time pulling the laptop from my hand, setting it on one of the chairs in front of his desk and pulling me to him so fast I had whiplash.

He leaned in close, rubbed the side of his nose along the side of mine. “I’m going to kiss you now, Grace.”

He didn’t give me a chance to answer before his mouth was on mine. Those soft plump, pink lips I’d been dreaming about rubbed against my own, coaxing my mouth to open.

And once I finally opened my mouth, it seemed like it was game on. Out the window went slow, sweet Whit. And all of a sudden, his hands were tight in my hair and his mouth ate at mine like a man starving. Sweet handholding Whit now used those hands to control my every move.

He nipped my bottom lip. Licked the top. Tasted every corner of my mouth with his tongue. And I held on for dear life because, just like that, I was drowning in him.

I’d never once been kissed like this in my life. He kissed me like he owned me. He kissed me like I owned him.

With fire in my bones, I kissed him back as he walked me backward until my thighs were pressed to the end of his desk. And without breaking our kiss, he lifted me right under my ass and set me on top of that desk before stepping between my thighs and pulling me back to him where my core was pressed right to the impressive hardness in his jeans.

Feeling brave, I reached around and grabbed his ass, pulling him as close to me as I could get him.

“Mmm,” he moaned into my mouth, before kissing the corner of each side of my lips and then pushing a few papers out of the way. “I’m sorry, Grace,” he said, grabbing the edge of the sweatshirt I was wearing and pulling it off and over my head. “This isn’t going to be slow. I’ve waited too long.” He unsnapped my bra. Sucking in a harsh breath at the sight of me, he placed his palm right between my breasts and pushed me back until I lay flat on the desk.

Excerpt

“You want a goodbye, Hamilton?” I asked as the pain in my chest cracked and all the disappointment flowed out with a vengeance. What even was the truth anymore? Did he care about me? Did he think I wasn’t worth the effort? He clenched his teeth, the move making his defined jaw harden into a sharp line. “I want a goodbye, Petal.” My heart cracked. I felt cheap. Used. I was done. Done with all of it. Done with the Beauregards. Done with the blackmail. Done with my mother’s guilt. My insecurities. I was done with him. Hamilton then choked out words that softened the blow. “I want you to live your life, Petal. I want you to be happy without me.” I wrapped my legs around his middle and rolled us both over. Pressing him into the mattress, I shrugged out of my sleep tank and clawed at the soft fabric of his shirt. He quickly tore it from his body while kicking his boots off to the ground. “Fuck you, Hamilton,” I whispered before scraping my teeth along his chest. I savored him. I fought with him. My fingers undid the button to his pants, and he slid them down. “Love you too, Petal,” he said in a reverent tone, his voice so soft that I almost didn’t hear it. It was the most tender sound. “I bet you’re drenched. You still want me. Even when I hurt you, your pussy aches for me.” Shame filled me. This was some sick kink for Hamilton. He liked knowing he could still have my body after destroying my heart. I raged. I groaned. “I want your cock. I want your goodbye. I want to get off so I can kick you out of my apartment and out of my life.” We undressed like each scrap of fabric between us was a weapon. He bucked, I pressed him into the mattress. I lined up my sex with his and watched his lips part as I slowly slid down and began riding him. With him fully inside me, he groaned low and slow. I bent over to whisper in his ear. “Enjoy it while you can, because I’m done.”
