Synopis:
Assistant District Attorney Raven Randolph is determined to take down one of the most powerful crime families on the East Coast. The Pattels are an organization that has their hand on the pulse of underworld corruption. Almost any criminal act the authorities can name, the Pattels have committed them. Masters at keeping their illegal activities intricately hidden, the DA’s office has never been able to make charges stick. Raven plans to change that. However, she didn’t count on Hawk Pattel and her heart getting in the way.
The world has always been Hawk's playground but with Assistant District Attorney Raven Randolph, he’s ready to put away childish things. In the beginning, he planned to sleep with Raven in order to manipulate her as he’s done with countless women before–especially since she’s coming after his family with both barrels loaded. It doesn’t take long to realize there’s something between them that goes deeper than just a physical attraction.
Hawk and Raven together equals a recipe for disaster. Yet, there’s always been a thing between them they just can’t ignore. Can two people from vastly different worlds find a way to breach the challenges that face them in order to be together? Or will the lies and betrayal that are revealed be too great to forgive–or forget.

He’ll do whatever it takes to bring his heir back to Zamibia, even if it means marrying the woman he believes betrayed him.

Synopsis: Fifteen Years Delayed is a love story. James Broadnax is sentenced to twenty-five years at age twenty-two, leaving behind his first love, Crea Flournoy. For fifteen years there are no visits or communication, twelve years of James being incarcerated and three years living in another city...
If you need lots of drama and angst, this isn’t for you. Fifteen Years Delayed is about adults who have been through... and are ready to love and be loved... no gaming.
James returns to the scene of the crime, so to speak and Crea is still there...
Fifteen Years Delayed is their story... after reuniting. It is not a story of his incarceration nor is it a story of Crea’s life when they were apart. It’s a love story, not just about them but the people in their lives... it is about what happens when lovers are reunited after fifteen years of delay.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Damn... there she is after fifteen years, still, even button-upped, a living breathing wet dream in the flesh.
Feeling breath on her neck, Crea Flournoy turned to find James inching behind her. It had been years since she saw him but it was definitely James Broadnax, her first lover and love. Backing up, she nearly stumbled but he caught her, pulling her up the step. Lightheaded, she balanced herself, snatching away.
“You’re on steps, and that concrete has no give.” He said in that lazy voice she once lived to hear.
Unable to say anything, she felt as if caught in a time warp. Her belly churned with the anxiety of seeing him, the taste of bile on her tongue. Crea stared, more than fifteen years had passed but he looked mostly the same: tall, broad, with massive shoulders, slightly bowed legs causing him to stand almost awkwardly. But, those same legs had not hindered him from being a basketball phenom in high school and the one year he tried college but college wasn't his thing. He was dressed in baggy sweats, a t-shirt and denim jacket, gazing at her with fierce intensity. Jet black eyes beneath his heavy but perfect brows had always been startling.
Watching her pull her sweater closer, he sensed Crea wanted to flee. Crea moved slightly, arranging her features. Her face was calm but her eyes weren’t.
“You look good, real good.” James said. “Like you saw a ghost but I’m real.” Moving a step down, James was closer to Crea, so close, the scent of coconut oil wafted from her hair.
“I been here about six months. I hear you’re doing great things. I thought about you often. You’re thirty-two and already a principal, that’s what’s up. I’m actually doing legitimate work. My sister opened a fresh food place and I’m running it.” James continued, his eyes never wavering from her, drinking her in, trying to feel her energy. The energy that fed him from afar for years. Watching her pull the sweater even closer, he bounced a bit on his toes, releasing energy.
“That’s nice. That store changed the neighborhood. I hear it’s doing extremely well.” Crea said, her voice sounding strange to her own ears. Backing up a bit, she clenched and un-clenched her fingers, fighting the craving to touch him.

Que Andre 3 stacks, “Carolyn”
I am a huge fan of this author and The Heart Series. So
naturally when I heard that Carolyn was getting her own story my interest was piqued.
Carolyn is one of those hard to like characters but when she comes through for
the home team, you have to be like, well alright Carolyn we see you. Let me
tell you Iris has brought a little redemption to this character. The story
starts off with a mystery. Senator Roth is attacked and Prince LaVere (with his
fine self) agrees to move the family temporarily to Africa for safety. Little
Gavin was a little jerk in this story. I can understand his misplaced anger
much like his mother they needed to heal. Lena was such a comic relief in this
story. She is the kind of down to earth character that has flaws but keeps it
real.
Before I go any further you do not have to read the other
stories in this series to understand this one HOWEVER the other stories are
just that great you would want to.
I wont recap the story but just highlight what I liked and
disliked about the story. I loved that we got to see Carolyn grow and live in
her truth. She was a spoiled brat and LaVere showed her what kindness and what love
looks like. Let me say some good loving looks good on Carolyn. I think LaVere
showing Gavin attention and being a man of no nonsense is what drew Carolyn in.
He did not allow her to run him. I loved reading about their courtship and
going through the village and speaking on change.
I know this is her redemption
story but I didn’t like how the author made it seem that she was the driving
force behind J.D.’s Presidency. She may have helped J.D. initially but it was
Tracy and the council of the others that lead him to Presidency. Although this book was about the love story of
Carolyn and LaVere the author did such a good job of interweaving all the other
characters into the mix with the mystery. Those Lasstier kids are doing BIG
things. Ro was my girl and the sit down with she and the Queen was needed. At
one point reading about Nate and trying to solve the crime really did
overshadow the love story. I honestly didn’t mind. Hopefully Monique will be
getting her own story. There were a few
typos with the author saying Cynthia when referring to Carolyn.
Nate for me was a break out star in this story. I loved
seeing how Adam & Amber helped with the mystery. This story had quite a few
shockers and some twists and turn that left me finishing the story in one day.
This story relayed some heartfelt messages about love and forgiving. Even
little Gavin had to learn a lesson or two.
My issue with Carolyn is that we always heard references to
her beauty, mixed heritage and acts of deceit. With this book reader got a look
inside her pain. Although Carolyn is still a bitch, the author did a wonderful
job of channeling that assertiveness into the good of the Country. About 68%
the spice happens and baby, Iris does not disappoint. I have waited so long for
the sit down with the Senator and Tracy I wish more attention would have been
given toward it. This was a phenomenal book and I would read it all over again.
With the last book Sapphire it was a bit disappointing BUT Iris brought
everything she knew with this book. Readers this is a definite one click.

Title: Aurora Rose Reynolds' Happily Ever Alpha Kindle World
Authors: Various
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: April 3, 2018
Happily Ever Alpha Kindle World
The Happily
Ever Alpha Kindle world includes 16 authors that will be releasing books based on characters or places in the Until,
Until her and Until him series. Every single author included in the world has
been hand picked by me. I’ve personally loved their books and writing styles
and hope if you haven’t read them before that you will fall in love with them
just like I have.
Some of the
authors have chosen to write about characters or couples that you have met in
the series while others have just referred to a place or person from one of the
Until books. I hope you give every single author a chance.
Every book is a stand-alone; there is no reading order.
I am a total fan of the Until Series so when I heard that several authors were doing their take on it, I just had to read it. I have never read anything by KD Robichaux but I loved the premise of this book. Here is a group of men, “ Dom’s”, who are delivering Karma and peace to the families in which the justice system failed. What a combination!!!! I honestly didn’t feel like I needed to read the other stories in the series to understand this one. I would however read the other stories because Clarice seems like an interesting character. Clarice and Brian are I guess on and off again lovers, but always on when they need to satisfy an itch. This is a friends to lover’s type of love. However, Clarice is a little distant and Brian is just waiting for her to let him in a little further. Dealing with the subject matter I did enjoy the “strip” scene for evidence. And how can I forget that readers got to appearances with some of our favorite Alpha’s like Nico!!!! This is a short read BUT I felt like this was an unfinished story. Mainly from the ending. For me this story is just a taste of what’s to come from these characters. I honestly didn’t feel too much of a connection between Brian and Clarice maybe because the story was so short. I did like the mix of the mission and budding romance in the story. I just felt like more time could have been spent on the actual relationship. I did find it interesting the top, bottom switch. This was a quick read and enough to keep readers interested. Cannot wait for the next installment of this series. **ARC GIVEN IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW**
