The first time Courtland Navarro saw Charleigh Lynn Kensington, she was yelling at her old boss about a yeast infection.

Court didn’t know that his heart could even beat after the loss of his late wife, but in that moment, when she was yelling about a bladder infection from hell, he realized that maybe he hadn’t died inside after all.

The second time he saw her, he was protecting her from herself.

The big—actually quite small—bad—more like a pissed-off Chihuahua—Marine thought she could handle herself. And honestly, she might have been able to. But she was five-foot-nothing, had crazy blonde hair, and looked like one hell of an easy target.

To say that they got off on the wrong foot would be an understatement.

Then, searching for something to do with his life after getting out of prison, he finds a mechanic shop for sale. So he buys it.

Little did he know that Charleigh had wanted that shop.

And now she had even more reason to hate him.

She tries her hardest to hold on to the anger, the utter dislike of all things Court Navarro. But Charleigh doesn’t stand a chance.

Court has set his sights on her, and there’s nothing that she can do but surrender.

But, maybe, that was what she wanted all along.

Someone to fight for her.

I wasn't even supposed to read this book. I appli I wasn't even supposed to read this book.

I applied for a future N. von Wolf release, somehow ended up on the list for These Tears instead, and figured I'd give it a try.

Five stars later, I'd like to thank whoever made that mistake!

Leah immediately had me on her side. She's intelligent and observant, and I loved how she processes information instead of suddenly becoming some fearless captive-romance heroine who always knows exactly what to do.

Then there's Elias. Welp. 🖤

My relationship with this man was complicated. I went from wanting Leah far away from him to yelling "I CAN FIX HIM" at my Kindle.

No, I cannot.

The psychological side of this story is what really hooked me. Pay attention because details matter, and some things aren't what they initially seem. I don't want to say much more because discovering those pieces is half the fun.

The Norwegian setting adds to the isolation, the tension keeps building, and once I started, I read straight through until I finished.

This is DARK, though. Definitely check the content warnings before reading because the captive and psychological elements aren't just window dressing.

Sometimes the wrong ARC turns out to be exactly the right book.

What would you do if you went to sleep and woke up What would you do if you went to sleep and woke up seven thousand years later?

Evelyn Bishop doesn't exactly get time to figure that out. She was placed into cryopreservation against her will and wakes on Ganymede with a new body, surrounded by robots, cyborgs, cloning, and technology she could never have imagined.

The Rebirth Foundation has created something that looks remarkably close to paradise.

You already know where my suspicious reader brain went with that. What's the catch? 😂

What fascinated me most wasn't actually the technology. It was discovering that seven thousand years of progress apparently hasn't done much about greed, obsession, or the desire for power.

This was my first Stephen Piper book, and I really enjoyed uncovering this strange new world alongside Evelyn. Just be warned about that ending because I was NOT prepared to be left there. 😂

HAPPY RELEASE DAY! They Know If You've Been Bad or HAPPY RELEASE DAY! They Know If You've Been Bad or Good by  @altahensley 

Series: Naughty or Nice #3
Genres: Dark Romance, Holiday Romance, Menage Romance

There’s no escaping the holiday spirit in this dark, forced-proximity, why choose, Christmas stalker romance, the sequel to Alta Hensley’s New York Times bestselling He Knows When You’re Awake!
Stalkin’ around the Christmas tree…

Hailey Parker thought she had outrun her past. As the assistant to a successful jewelry designer, she’s started a new life in New York City, and may even have a new boyfriend to cozy up with this holiday. Her boss’s security guard, Knox, is a man of few words, but his obvious obsession calls to the darkest parts of Hailey’s imagination.

Then, her ex-boyfriend—and ex-partner-in-crime—shows up outside Hailey’s Brooklyn apartment. Liam explains that their past has caught up with them: the mobster they robbed five years ago has tracked them down. If they hope to escape with their lives, they must return to the remote Canadian wilderness where Hailey hid the priceless stolen diamond.

But a very different fate is awaiting them in the frigid landscape. Someone else entirely is pulling the strings, an unhinged billionaire who has a dark fascination with Hailey and Liam—and with the protective, ex-military boyfriend who has tracked Hailey all the way to the Northwest Territories.

Imprisoned together in a luxurious cabin and with a lethal ticking time bomb, Hailey, Liam, and Knox have no choice but to work together to outwit their captor. As a winter storm approaches—and simmering tensions between them reach a breaking point—escape starts to seem impossible…but what if everything they need is right there in the cabin?

Tropes:🎄 Christmas Romance 💕 Why Choose 🎖️ Military Romance 👀 Stalker Romance 🎯 One Last Job 🏠 Forced Proximity 🔥 M/M/F Romance ❤️‍🩹 Second-Chance Romance 🛏️ Only One Bed
