His love should come with a warning label.
Caution to the Wind by Giana Darling is now live!
From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Giana Darling comes an age gap, second chance love story about a rebel soul and her best friend's dad who wants absolutely nothing to do with her...
I fell in love with my best friend's dad when I was seventeen.
He seemed like some kind of heathen god, big enough to kill a man with his bare hands, tattooed with bright, bold images, and weathered by time and a short stint in prison.
Blind to the consequences, I made a mistake that ran him out of town and ruined his life.
Now, he's back after all these years—hating me more than the day he left.
What he doesn't know is that I've been working to atone for my sins.
I've infiltrated the Vancouver Triad that killed his wife.
Always my protector, he decides it's not safe for me to be in this alone, so he resolves to get me out of the Triad and out of his hair for good.

I have been waiting for this book for a very long time to the point where I had honestly given up on it. It was more than a highly anticipated because I knew the story itself was going to be gritty, forbidden and dangerous and after reading this, I was absolutely right.
From a very young age, Mei has had almost everything that her heart's desire but still feeling like an outcast and not loved. Everything changed when she met her best friend Cleo at nine years old and they've been inseparable since. That friendship gave her love, let her embrace her Chinese culture more, and it set her on a path of finding justice for a tragedy that's going to shape her life. But through it all the one thing that kept Mei going was knowing that not only she had her best friend, that friendship gave her someone else and he's more than off limits.
Henning-Axe Man has seen his fair share of tragedy and as the years go by, it seems to get worse. Now on a mission to get to the truth about something that happened years ago, Axe knows that his choices from here on out is going to set other things in motion. Some for the better, some for the worse and there's one girl who's going to constantly be in his orbit.
Everyone that knows me knows that I do not play around with forbidden age gap romance. I love everything about it and that's not going to change any time soon. The crackling of sexual tension, the forbidden current, the stolen moments, I love it all and when I saw this one, I needed it like a cool drink of water after being in the desert for so long. I will admit that I didn't feel the connection between the main characters for quite some time but thankfully that changed a bit for part 2.
This was a complicated story between two characters that have endured so much pain over the course of the years and they wear their scars sometimes too proudly at times. Mei and Axe were always in sync with one another even when they were younger but I loved seeing it when they were older. After some dangerous encounters and fueled anger that span for nearly a decade, these characters will test you but you'll be glad that you took their journey. If you're a fan of this author or you love forbidden MC romance with a tough heroine, this one's for you.
This is a standalone but characters from the author's previous books are mentioned. Keep in mind that this is a MC family so if you're curious about other couples, I would recommend you read their books.

Blurb:
From USA TODAY Bestselling author Xavier Neal comes the jaw-dropping, heart pounding conclusion to this best friends-to-lovers, forced proximity, romantic suspense duet!
The assignment is simple.
Don't let the client get kidnapped.
Don't let someone kill her.
Don't screw up our now very real relationship.
It's the last part that complicates what would otherwise be a fairly run of the mill operation.
If we weren't dating, the only thing I would have to worry about would be following standard procedures such as making sure her locations are secure.
That we aren't being followed.
That those in her inner circle haven't been compromised.
But because we are, I now have to deal with her sabotaging ex boyfriend.
And an unexpected female guest showing up on our double date.
And a meddling team member who thinks he's helping instead of simply giving me more headaches.
All of these things make my mission significantly harder.
As does trying to decide if we're moving too fast.
As does having to come in second to her career.
As does my best friend herself when she finally has to decide what our future together looks like.
To the company I work for, my main objective is to find and eliminate the unidentified threat that's been stalking one of their most valuable assets.
But to me?
My only job is to protect the love of my life - or die trying.

Does He Know? Is a forbidden age gap romance that had me wanting to embrace these characters from the very first moment.
Emerson has the next chapter of her life rolled out and despite having an older brother and his friends being protective, she knows that she's in good hands. But there's one particular person that she wishes would see her as something more. Too bad he's not only off limits, he's her brother's friend.
Being ten years older than a woman you've constantly thought about is not a fun reminder. Add in the fact that she's your best friend's little sister will have anyone feeling off kilter and that's no different for Roman.Emerson has been a part of his life for so long that he doesn't remember what life was like before. Now that she's back home for the summer and working with him and her brother at their tattoo shop,seeing her everyday is going to be difficult.
I really liked the attraction between Roman and Emerson. You felt it looming and when they were in a room together, it was game over. I also loved the family dynamic and the side characters because they played such an important role in the main characters' lives. They were a tight knit group and they celebrated each other's victories and leaned on each other when times were tough.
My issue with this one was that it was a bit repetitive and dragged out. I needed more from them as a couple and certain things felt anti climatic. Towards the end also felt rushed to me and I would've loved to see certain things play out a bit more. Aside from that, I think if you're a fan of brother's best friend romance, you might enjoy this one more.
Wild hearts can't be tamed.
Tame the Heart by Ava Hunter is now live!
Keeping my heart guarded all my life has never been an issue. Until he saves me in a bar fight.
Charlie Montgomery is one grumpy rancher. Calloused hands, stubborn heart, the definition of a true cowboy.
He dislikes me from the second we meet. Warns me away from his tiny town of Resurrection, Montana. Well, what he doesn’t know is I’m armed with a bucket list and a secret. There’s no way I’m leaving. I’ll just keep my distance.
Only in a small town that distance doesn’t last for long. Because I owe him a favor: Work for him for three months and help him save his home. Runaway Ranch.
But our close confines mean I see what’s under all that strong. I see the real Charlie Montgomery. The man behind the rugged rancher who yells. Beneath his dark beard hides a rare smile. Beneath his mile-wide chest beats a tender heart. One that slowly starts to beat for me.
And instead of running back onto that open road, I run towards Charlie instead.
But a hidden danger is lurking. Someone who doesn't want Charlie to save his ranch. Someone who is out to get us both. And I could lose more than my heart this summer—I could lose my life…

Two things that made me want to read this book immediately was the fact that this was a small town romance and we had a grumpy older cowboy. From that point on, I knew that I needed to read this and I'm glad that I took a chance on a story like this one.
Ruby wants nothing more than to live her life without pause. Living with a heart condition has taught her that time is precious and you have to live life to the fullest. A good way to start is doing a cross country road trip and making lasting memories. Stumbling in a new town, Ruby decides to stay for a while but by doing that, she crosses paths with a grumpy rancher who's life is more than complicated.
Charlie Montgomery has been through hell and back but he's content with his life now. Being a ranch owner for the past ten years hasn't been easy but along with his brothers, they're doing good. Until one incident threatens to derail all of their hard work and put a target on their backs. Knowing deep down that the next few words out of his mouth is going to change his life and his ranch, Charlie agrees to let a newcomer handle his social media management. But what he doesn't expect is to fall for a woman who's only temporary.
I really enjoyed this story for the most part. I loved seeing the day to day life of the ranch and I really liked Charlie's brothers. They added more to the story and along with it being an emotional read at times, they were there to balance a few things out.
The only issue that I had with this one is that the story did drag a bit and it was too long. I also didn't like what a certain character purposely chose to do because a lot of things could have been avoided.
If you're looking for emotional small town cowboy romance, then this one's for you.
Meet Ava
Ava Hunter is a strong believer in black coffee, red wine, and the there's-only-one-bed trope. She writes contemporary romance with healthy amounts of angst where the damsels are never quite damsels, but the men they love (good, bad and rugged) are always there for them. Her first series, Nashville Star, centers on sexy country singers and their honky-tonk drama-filled lives.
Ava is married to her high school sweetheart, loves writing strong, stubborn women that only make their men fall harder, adores all things pink, and can never ever get enough of protector romance.

FORGOT TO SAY GOODBYE BY S.L. SCOTT

Olivia Bancroft has always followed the rules. Two years ago she decided to do something spontaneous for once in her life and that one decision forever changed the course of her life. Now she has no intention of ever going off kilter and messing up her calm and drama free life. But that all changes when a blast from her past walks through her office doors and she learns that the man she desperately tried to forget, is now a new colleague.
Noah Westcott has a solid work ethic and he hasn't been this excited about the prospect of anything in a really long time. Starting a new job at one of the top marketing firms in the city, Noah knows that he can bring a lot more to the company and take it to another level. Nice apartment, terrific salary with a job you love. What more can a twenty five year old ask for? How about the woman that you've been constantly dreaming about for the past two years is now standing in front of you.
I loved that this started out as a love/ hate thing. From the prologue we saw Noah and Olivia's first interaction with each other and knew that it wasn't going to be all roses. We saw the after effect of that night and how it changed and shaped Olivia into a role that she loves more than anything. Their back and forth banter was enjoyable for a while but I was not a fan of the inner dialogue too much. I also felt like certain things got smoothed over too quickly and was wrapped up in a leave it alone bow.
If you're a fan of second chance romance with a little bit of drama, then I recommend you go with this one.
