Shadowed Obsession by Penelope Black is now live!
A whirlwind romance of small-town secrets, why choose dilemmas, and heart-stopping suspense.
In Rosewood's scorching summer, I'm torn between the irresistible playboy with a haunting secret, my ever-present white knight, and the broody single dad.
I foolishly thought the hardest thing I had to do was entertain the five-year-old boy I spent my days nannying.
But I should've known better. I should've known danger lurks in the most unlikely places.
And as the shadows close in, I find myself faced with an impossible choice. One that I know that will change everything.

Well once again we were left with another cliffy and a lot more questions! I'm kind of scared to read the final book because I have no clue what this author is going to do. Is she going to finally give us the answers and wrap everything up or are we going to be strung along and have this turn into a spinoff? I for one have no freakin clue and I'm troubled by this.
Evangeline is settling into her new babysitting job while also trying to avert her feelings for the moody MC dad Silas. This is a close knit family and seeing that she works for him, Evangeline knows that it's going to be easier said than done. If that's not a headache in itself, she's also tangled up with his brother and cousin making their dynamic even more messier. With danger lurking around, no one is safe and the guys will do everything to protect her. Even if it means going over each other.
I really enjoyed the first book and I was really looking forward to reading this one but I'm kind of disappointed. I was expecting a lot more of EVERYTHING. Danger, sexual tension, action, I needed it but all I got was frustration, jealousy contests and a little bit of action towards the end. I wanted Eve to put her foot down more when it came to the guys instead of them telling her to not worry about it.
With that being said, I'm still interested to see where this story is going to go and how these characters are going to navigate their personal lives. I would love to see a lot more action and everyone established in their roles along with the long awaited answers because cheese and rice!! I cannot go through this again.
If you're a masochist, then by all means go ahead and read the first two books. If you like your sanity, add these to your tbr and then binge read them.

Forget Me Not by Rachel Leigh is now live!
An all-new dark romance standalone by author Rachel Leigh with an obsessive anti-hero, and a heroine who fights as hard as she falls.
It should have been a harmless swindle.
A survival tactic, plain and simple.
Because I, Rhea Thorn, am a survivor.
At least, I thought I was…
Until I conned a psycho.
After a meaningless one night stand, I emptied his wallet and fled before the morning sun.
By that night, I had seventeen missed calls, and a broken window with a note:
You can keep what you stole, but I get you in return.
Everywhere I go, he’s there—blurring the vision between right and wrong, while enticing me with his sultry blue eyes.
Alaric promised me I’d never forget him.
And I’m beginning to fear he’s right.

Looking to make a change after being a con artist for so long, Rhea Thorn is trying to live a straight upstanding life. Moving to a new town and having a job as a waitress, things couldn't be any more boring and domestic for Rhea but if she wants to survive, she has to keep it that way. But old habits die hard and when she meets a mark, Rhea is about to learn a hard lesson in who Alaric Banks is.
I've been back and forth trying my best to describe Alaric and I still can't do it. He's obsessive and crazy but he's still a mystery to me. There were so many things that could have been explored with his character and it was all just at a stand still. Instead of the book being a slow burn, it had the potential to be a dark action thriller and it just fell short for me. I needed more from these characters and I was expecting a very dark gritty romance but unfortunately I didn't get that.
Overall this was an ok read and I would truly love to see a spinoff with a certain character. That's one story I will not miss. If you're looking for a semi dark light read, then you should give this one a try.

The Lovely Return by Carian Cole is now live!
They say be careful what you wish for. But on December 5th, Alex Fox makes a wish in the midst of a devastating tragedy. Little did he know, that wish would come true.
Six years after that fateful day, a little girl wanders into Alex's studio. With her quirky personality, endless questions, and adorable smile, Penny Rose becomes an enchanting, yet bittersweet, distraction.
Penny Rose was an odd girl—at least, that's what her parents said. Penny herself didn't feel particularly odd; she simply felt misplaced. As if somehow, in some way, she was living in the wrong place. In the wrong life.
As the years pass, Alex and Penny develop a friendship. But it becomes harder and harder for them to ignore their undeniable chemistry, no matter how forbidden it is.
Alex believed he'd never find love again, let alone fall for a girl half his age. But Penny is everything he could ever want or need. Not only is she caring, witty, and beautiful, but she accepts the past that haunts him.
Penny couldn't be happier. She's been head over heels for sexy, brooding artist Alex Fox since she was six years old. But when her childhood dreams start resurfacing again—dreams of a life with Alex way before they ever met—she starts to think they're not dreams at all.
They're memories.
Penny's revelation to Alex threatens to tear them apart, making them question the impossible and unbelievable.
Can love truly transcend time and death, giving them a second chance at their happily ever after? Or is Penny battling a broken mind that has led her down a path of heartbreaking delusion?

This book put me through it. I was sad, frustrated, happy and angry. My lows were my lows but for those fleeting moments when I had my highs, they were beautiful and I never wanted to let go of that feeling. These characters truly puts you in their orbit and I have to say that despite a few things I didn't agree with this story, I had a really hard time letting go of these characters because they really stayed with me.
They say grief has no expiration date and for Alex Fox, those words couldn't be any more true. For years he's been going through different stages of it but he's now become a shell of the man that he once was. How do you move on when the worst day of your entire life took away your reason for living? Going through the motions as the years pass, a little girl shows up one day and changes everything.
It's no secret that I'm a huge forbidden romance fan and I was literally chomping at the bit to get to this one. It looked haunting and I knew in my bones that certain things were going to hurt me but I was ready to embrace it. The issue that I had with this story was not only the plot, but I felt like it was a bit forced on the main character. I just wanted certain things to be different because it felt like there was more than an internal battle. I understood why it was done because that was the plot of the story but I just wished that some things were different.
Now aside from that, I fell in love with these characters and I truly felt their pain. When I tell you my heart was aching, I felt like I was experiencing my own grief. Despite the age difference, Alex and Penny solidified their place in each other's lives without ever knowing it and as time passed, you not only saw their friendship progressing, but you saw the possibility of more. You knew it was coming and you felt the shift in the air and you held your breath because as much as you know that it's going to be Beautiful, it's going to come with some heartache.
This was a complex haunting love story that spanned decades. If you’re a fan of this author, then I recommend giving this one a try.
