The Monthly Chapter | March 2023

Mar. 01, 2023

March Monthly Chapter Updated 2025

Welcome to The Monthly Chapter for March 2023.

We have made it to March and as most of you already know I am out of commission for a bit. First I want to thank everyone for their kind words. I am working towards getting back to where I was but have an amazing sister in-law who is helping me get posts written and keep things up and running. There will be an update posted in the VIP Group soon I promise.

I am taking the time to recover and will work as much as I am able to. One thing I will be able to do is catch up on my reading pile. Not to mention my audio books. For authors, tour companies, and PR reps, please know that my sister in-law is answering emails. She is doing an amazing job and I am thankful for her. 


Reading This Month


PLEASE NOTE SOME OF THESE BOOKS MAY BE ARCS (ADVANCED READING COPIES) AND NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE. OTHERS MAY HAVE BEEN ON MY LIST FOR A WHILE

    I have a couple of series I want to (at least) start! Plus, a couple of new releases coming from Michelle Heard & Neva Altaj I’m really looking forward to! 🙂
    I am not sure about the bookclub pick for this month. I think it is a romcom, though.

    Hope you feel better soon, Rita! Sending you all the love & good vibes! 🙂 xo

    I don’t have any specific reading plans for the month as I am going to be extremely busy with packing for the move in April and I have several doctor’s appointments this month as well as visits to the DMV, Town clerk and SSA. I will try to read something from my TBR whenever I am taking a break from the insanity!

Mia
 
An island fling was the last thing I expected when I agreed to spend a month on a tropical island with Graham and Soraya as nanny to their sweet little boy. I was planning to relax with the family, enjoy the sun, and get a break from law school...
 
Then a shirtless, tanned Adonis runs onto our beach and into my life.
 
JT is mysterious, rugged, and his gruff exterior should have sent me running in the opposite direction. But something about the man excites me, challenges me to push past my insecurities. And though I don't see myself as a "fling" kind of girl, maybe it's just what I need to move on from my painful past. The trouble is JT has quickly imprinted himself on my soul, and saying goodbye to him is going to break me.
 
JT
 
Going back to the island, the only place I felt like myself, was a no-brainer. Not just somewhere to seek refuge from business, family, and especially women. It's a place of serenity...to clear my head and get rid of the anger of betrayal and figure out what I want to do with my life.
 
Then Mia happens, forcing her way into my heart. Like a violent storm that rushes in, wreaking havoc but ultimately ushering in a new dawn. She sees things in me I never knew existed. But our worlds are spinning in different directions, and no matter how badly I want to hang on, the force pulling us apart might just be too strong for both of us.

Life isn’t fair.

If anyone on Earth should know that, it’s Milena Semyonov.

She’s suffered blow after blow, and the hits just keep on coming.

Just when she’s sworn off being happy, that maybe being numb is the better way to navigate life, she meets him.
Cutter Carson Clayborne.

The man that finally shows her how a real man is supposed to treat her.

Just when she didn’t think life could get any worse, the man that abused her as a young, impressionable teen is back, showing her that life can, in fact, get worse.

When she’s ready to quit, Cutter is there, making sure that she knows that he’ll be there, whether she wants him there or not.

He is her husband, after all. And the unlikely pair have an understanding that they’ll stay married for two years, make a baby, and join two crime syndicates in unholy matrimony.

Cutter has other plans, though. He only agrees to the original plan to make her his.

He won’t ever give her up. What’s his stays his. And there’s not a man on the earth that’ll ever touch Milena again. Not with Cutter alive and able to take out anyone that tries.

Broody. Hot. Intoxicating.
 
Nastya Semyonov first met Haze at a bar, but for Haze Hopkins, duty calls before either can act on their desires. He’s gone without a glance back, leaving her thinking that maybe all the hot looks were only one-sided.
 
Fast forward to the next day, Nastya hitches a ride to her car that she left behind the night before, only to run into the same man from last night.
 
Neither one truly thinks before they act, and they spend a hot fifteen minutes in a fast-food restaurant bathroom before parting ways again.
 
It’s as she’s walking back to her car that she realizes how badly she’s screwed up.
 
Because her car is surrounded in police tape, and there’s one very angry man wearing a badge standing in front of it with her name on an arrest warrant for killing a man.
 
Mistakes were made. Repeatedly.
 
But Detective Haze Hopkins isn’t complaining.
 
He was ready to quit, anyway.
 
Crime pays better.

There was right, there was wrong, and then there was the in-between.
 
The place where normal people reside, understanding that there are two sides to every coin. People that do bad things for good reasons. People that do bad things for bad reasons.
 
First, I knew that Shasha Semyonov was a bad man. One that did bad things for bad reasons. That didn’t mean that I was rational when it came to him.
 
He was toxic to my health, yet I wanted him anyway.
 
They say the first step to healing is admitting when you have a problem.
 
My problem happened to be six feet two inches tall, two hundred and twenty pounds, and bearded to perfection.
 
Oh, and he was also the scariest guy I knew.
 
Meanwhile, I was the laughingstock of the city.
 
The woman who was cheated on by her boyfriend with her best friend, and it was captured live while a band played in the background, perfectly accenting the humiliating video.
 
There was no way that Shasha Semyonov would notice me.
Right?
 
Wrong.
 
I’d definitely been noticed.
