#Reviews~~ ????? ?? ??????? by Jessica Ruben

Rating: ?NOW AVAILABLE? ????? ?? ???????, by International best-selling author Jessica Ruben, is live! This is a new enemies-to-lovers, arranged-marriage, stand-alone romance—with a Mafia twist, that you won’t want to miss! Stephanie’s 4.5 Blush Review Break on Through is a stand-alone in the Sex.Rock.Mafia series. Set in the Mafia world. The men are manly, dominating, strong and in very much “in charge.” The story is a roller coaster of emotions and intensity. Jessica Ruben’s writing will have you picturing the rich cultures and traditions laced throughout the book. Honor, loyalty and family will all be tested. Leo has been betrayed...

#FiveBlushRead ~~ The Brit by Jodi Ellen Malpas

The BRIT by Jodi Ellen Malpas   Christina’s 5 DEEPLY EMOTIONAL Blush Review Wow! Just wow. The Brit is JEM’s darkest and most romantically violent book to date. At times shocking and hard to read, The Brit takes the reader on a twisted, murderous rampage through the dark mafia underworld staring a British mafia lord and the woman he takes prisoner. I can’t really put into words how much I liked this book despite how violent and gritty it was. There’s abuse, rape, an alpha hero with some unlikeable characteristics, a very broken and tormented heroine, and a whole lotta...

#Review ~~ Stealing Cinderella by A. Zavarelli

Rating:   STEALING CINDERELLA by A. Zavarelli Release Date: April 2nd Stephanie’s 4.5 Blush Review Ashleigh Zavarelli brings us a “Cinderella” story with a dark twist. It is complete with a brooding prince and an evil stepmother. Stealing Cinderella is heart-stopping at times and filled with raw emotions. There is one scene in particular that comes to mind (no spoilers), where I was completely floored! I had to put the book down for a few minutes! Thorsen (Thor) is the Crown Prince of Norway and next in line to be King. He is so dark and demanding. Life has brought...

“This series could be my most suggested series I have ever read – ITS. THAT. GOOD!” -Louisa is in book love! #ItsLive #FiveBlushReview ~~ Vicious Minds (Children of Vice #4) by @JJMcAvoy

Vicious Minds (Children of Vice #4) by J.J. McAvoy LOUISA’S 5++++ OMG BLUSH REVIEW J.J. McAvoy has continued to blow my mind with her storytelling of the epic Callahan family.  Since reading the first book Ruthless People (in July of 2017) I have been riveted to this series.  I have read each book the moment it was in my hands, and this book is no different. Devoured in just hours! I am unsure how J.J. continues to weave this web of lies, deception of the Callahan family and I really don’t care…just keep writing. How she keeps it all straight...
