It’s got the PERFECT title because it truly was a fairy tale of a mafia romance.
Just imagine traveling to Italy against your parents wishes, almost getting sexually assaulted and dying your first night there, and getting saved by the most gorgeous tall, dark, and handsome Italian man. You get swept off your feet, not knowing there’s a darker side to him… but he treats you like a queen and will destroy anyone who tries to hurt you.
If you’re a mafia romance/dark romance fan, you’ll definitely want to give Raffa with Guinevere’s dreamy romance a try! It’s hot, exciting, and there’s so much to swoon over. I love a good obsessed hero, and Giana Darling always delivers the best ones! Guinevere turns Raffa’s world upside down, and she became his whole world. I loved their romance!
I also hiiiighly recommend listening to the audiobook of this one! Raffa’s Italian accent is delectable and *chef’s kiss*....more

He’s part of the Lombardi family and we’ve seen him in and out of the whole Lombardi family world books, and now we finally get the beginning of his MMF romance.
Sebastian is an 18 year old aspiring writer/actor, and he finds a job as a chauffeur for Savvy, the wife of one of the biggest, hottest, most influential men in Hollywood. There’s chemistry between them both, but nothing really happens… until both Savvy and her husband, Adam, ask Seb to join them as a secret lover.
If you love spice, well there’s PLENTYYY of it here! Things get hot and heavy right from the get-go. The chemistry between Seb, Savvy, and Adam is seriously so intense! They want each other badly, and the forbiddenness of everything makes it all so much hotter. I will say, the steam definitely does overshadow the romance a bit. I wanted a deeper level to the romance and the three of them actually falling in love. It felt a little surface level, but I didn’t mind it too much since this is the first book in the series.
The ending is quite the cliffhanger and I already can’t wait for more! Sebastian deserves all the good things, and I’m so ready to read him getting the love he’s always wanted....more

He’s been in and out of Ana’s previous books and I’ve always enjoyed his character. I’m so glad to say I had such a fun time reading his book!
The Striker is the start of a brand new sports romance series. Asher is a professional soccer player who’s just been transferred to Blackcastle in the middle of the season, and he’s not getting along with his teammate/rival, Vincent. Unfortunately for them, their coach says they HAVE to get along… and they sign up to train with the Royal Ballet Academy. Their new trainer is none other than Vincent’s sister, Scarlett, a former ballerina.
If you love sports romances, you’ll have a great time reading The Striker. We have both soccer and ballet, all mixed into Asher and Scarlett’s tension-filled forbidden romance. They are the perfect balance of hot and sweet, and I liked that the book took its time to develop their relationship. It’s definitely a longer book than usual from Ana, but I had no issues with how long it was.
I’m so happy Ana Huang has entered her sports romance era and I already can’t wait to read more!...more

I’m such a big fan of sports romances, so when I saw the smokin’ cover of Katie Rose’s Too Hot to Handle, I had to read it! I always love a good sports romance book that can get me into the sport and game, especially when I am pretty much the least athletic person ever!
Jake Baldwin is a certified manwhore. He charms his way through women and he’s not looking to settle down anytime soon. But when his team continues to get bad publicity, Jake meets his match in the woman whose job is to clean up the New Jersey Sonics’ act.
Nikki Case is the woman who’s tasked with fixing up the Sonics’ reputation, but it’s not that easy. The players are rough on her, playing pranks on her, but she’s determined to succeed in her job. She aims her focus on Jake, the star player, but she never expects him to turn his womanizing charms to her.
What starts as a prank for Jake turns out to be so much more as he spends time with Nikki. He slowly manages to take down those walls around Nikki’s heart, but for all his womanizing ways, is he ready for more? I really enjoyed Jake’s character – he may have been a manwhore prior to Nikki, but he’s also a man with a heart of gold. And when he falls, he falls hard. He was just the sweetest with Nikki!
Too Hot to Handle was a sweet and sexy book that fans of sports romances will definitely enjoy. It’s pure fluff, but entertaining fluff. I was rooting for Nikki and Jake to make it work between them. It’s a fairly predictable book, but I was engaged the whole time reading. These two made an adorable couple, and some scenes between them just pulled at my heart! For those looking for a sweet, sexy, quick read, this is for you!

LOVED IT!! This is probably my new favorite Ana Huang book. King of Wrath is hot and fantastic and I could nottt stop reading it. It's got an arrangedLOVED IT!! This is probably my new favorite Ana Huang book. King of Wrath is hot and fantastic and I could nottt stop reading it. It's got an arranged engagement/marriage!!! AND it's such a good enemies to lovers romance too. Dante and Vivian hate each other (which you might've gotten from Twisted Lies), but they've been forced into an engagement neither of them wants. He's being blackmailed by her father and she's agreed out of duty to her parents. She moves into his house for the engagement, they have to pretend to be lovey-dovey to the public, and SPARKS FLY.
During this year-long engagement, Dante works (with Christian) to do everything he can to get rid of the blackmail and destroy Vivian's father... all the while slowly, reluctantly falling for his fiancée. The romance was so much fun to read – the way these two opened up to each other, connected over their pasts, helped each other with the little things, and FINALLY fell into bed together was well-written and perfectly paced.
There's also two of my favorite things here: a jealous, possessive hero, and GROVELING! A beautiful combination, if I do say so myself. The groveling wasn't quite to the extent of Twisted Love lol but I still loved to see it.
If you're a fan of the Twisted series, you won't be disappointed with King of Wrath. This brand new series is already off to a great start and I can't wait for more!
