    Release Blitz + Review: Not Yours To Want by Kimberly Knight

    October 3, 2026

     





    From USA Today bestselling author Kimberly Knight comes a high-spice, father’s-best-friend age-gap

    romance about crossing the line with the one man she knows she shouldn’t want.

    The last person Blair Hart expects to run into at a members-only sex club in Beverly Hills is her father’s

    best friend.

    She’s only in Los Angeles for a work conference, and after catching her boyfriend cheating, one night

    of no-strings-attached fun sounds like exactly what she needs. Until she walks into Sensation and

    comes face-to-face with Dane Kincaid.

    He’s older, tempting, and completely off-limits, and he knows better than to see Blair as anything more

    than his best friend’s daughter. But the woman standing in front of him isn’t the girl he remembers, and

    once they cross the line, one night in his private room is supposed to be where it ends.

    Instead, Blair returns to New York with Dane still on her mind—and it isn’t long before dirty texts turn

    into late-night calls, and the secret they left behind in LA follows them across the country.

    When Blair receives an offer she’d be foolish to refuse, it’s a career-changing position at the

    construction company owned by her father and Dane.

    Moving home means being closer to her family, stepping into the job she’s worked years for … and

    leaving three thousand miles of safe distance between her and Dane in the past.

    They already know what happens when they’re alone together. What neither of them knows is how long

    they can keep their secret after Blair returns to California.

    Because she was never Dane’s to want, but knowing that hasn’t done a damn thing to stop either of

    them.

    Not Yours to Want is a high-spice, dad’s-best-friend age-gap forbidden romance novella featuring a

    one-night stand that turns into something more, an older man/younger woman pairing, a secret

    relationship, and a very exclusive sex club.

    Is it hot in here????? What's better than a forbidden romance that includes a dad's best friend. I was chomping at the bit to get my hands on this read and I'm so glad that I did because the attraction levels on this? Burned the pages!



    It's been seven years since Blair has seen her father's best friend face to face and let's just say that time has served him well. After visiting her parents for the weekend, she decides to have some fun with her best friend at an exclusive sex club. But Blair never expected to run into the one man that she's known her entire life. 

    One night. 
    No strings attached. 
    That was the deal that Dean Kinkaid made with Blair when she approached him and that was all it took. What started off as a hot and steamy night, ended up being so much more than either of them could have imagined. But what happens when their forbidden world quickly collides with their reality? 

    I really enjoyed this one and I loved that it was a quick read with an actual storyline. The main characters had intense chemistry and they spent time together building their relationship. Dane was sweet and you saw that he really cared about Blair and I loved that. If you're looking for a steamy quick forbidden romance, I highly recommend you read this one. 










    Kimberly Knight is a USA Today Bestselling author who lives in the Central Valley of California with her

    loving husband, who is a great research assistant, and young daughter who keeps her on her toes.

    Release Blitz + Review: Break Me by Tara Conrad

    September 27, 2026

     

     

     




      ♦ ♦ ♦




    A dark, emotional MC romance inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven.”


    Raven Sutter was never meant to be mine.

    She was my best friend’s little sister.

    Off-limits. Untouchable.

    She walked into my life with golden hair, blue eyes, and a quiet defiance that ruined every promise I’d ever made.

    I tried to keep my distance.

    She made that impossible.

    As a mechanic for the Blackwater MC, I’ve lived my life in the shadows.

    Raven became the only person who made the darkness feel bearable.

    The one person who saw the man beneath the silence and the bruises.

    Our love was fierce.

    Forbidden.

    A little reckless and completely inevitable.

    This is the story of how we fell.

    Of how she changed me.

    Of how loving her became the most beautiful and devastating chapter of my life.

    Before the grief.

    Before the ghosts.

    Before the darkness—

    there was her. 




    ♦ ♦ ♦













    This story has everything that I look for in a dark romance and I was beyond excited to dive into the unknown of this forbidden emotional romance. 

    Being the VP of one of the most well respected MC has always been a true honor for Samuel and he's always thought that nothing would be better than running the club alongside his best friend Knox. But all of that changes when he falls for his little sister and what was always a happy dynamic, is now filled with tension, betrayal, and knowing that life as they knew it, is about to be ripped apart in the cruelest way. 




      I really enjoyed most of the story and I loved the family dynamic but I have to say that I was a bit disappointed in the characters' relationship in the beginning. I felt like I was dropped into the middle of it and we were told that this is a relationship and these two people are madly in love with each other. I wanted to see the relationship being built from the very beginning. I wanted to witness the stolen glances, feel their emotional turmoil, the longing, and see the exact moment of when they finally give in. I think if that was done from the start, I would've loved these characters even more and I would have felt EVERYTHING. 

    With all of that being said, I will say that I became emotional towards the end and I held out a lot of hope for these characters. The ending damn near destroyed me and I'm still trying to come to terms with it and figure out how everything is going to work out. What happens now? Can true love really conquer all? I will be a hot mess until the next book comes out! 

    If you're looking for a MC biker romance that's going to tear you apart, this one is most definitely for you.

    New Release+ Review: To All The Guys I Killed Before by Sara Whitney

    August 24, 2026

     



    TROPES ✨

    🔪 Murder as Meet Cute

    🤣 Dark Comedy

    👀 Surveillance as Love Language

    ✌🏻 Secret Identities / Dual Identities

    😍 He Falls First

    🖤 Morally Dark Heroine and Hero




    Blurb: 

    Rue Bellamy thinks I'm the most boring man alive, and I intend to keep it that way.


    As long as my sweet-faced neighbor never sees past my beige cardigans and passionate opinions about rose fertilizer, she won’t realize I've been in love with her for every one of the 538 days I’ve known her.


    She also won’t think to look for the cameras I installed in her half of our duplex. (What can I say? Surveillance is my love language.)


    Best of all, she’ll never connect those impeccably staged accidents she processes as a death investigator to the man watering the rosebushes next door.


    After a year and a half of mailbox small talk with my rose-growing psychologist neighbor Hugo, it's a relief to pull on a mask and deliver justice the system won't, one solitary kill at a time.


    At least it was, until a rival vigilante starts turning up at my future crime scenes like he owns them (because as far as he's concerned, he does). I don’t know his name or what he looks like. I do know I’m taking risks I shouldn’t so I can see him again. 


    Then one of our murder-dates goes spectacularly wrong, and I discover that my boring neighbor and the seasoned killer I'm falling for are the same guy.


    Turns out a vigilante situationship hits different when you share a wall—especially when Hugo’s been keeping even more secrets than I have.

    To All the Guys I Killed Before is a delightfully unhinged mashup of Mr. and Mrs. Smith's secret double lives, Lights Out's morally gray golden retriever hero, and Butcher & Blackbird's blood-slicked banter. Book 1 in the Right Kind of Wrong series is funny, spicy, ridiculously romantic, and genuinely dark, with a killer found family and enough OMG WHAT??? moments to fill several unmarked graves. Books 2 and 3—How to Slay a Guy in Ten Days and He's Just Not that Into Stalking You—are coming for you soon.




    💋💋4 Stars💋💋

    This was such a pleasant surprise. I had no idea that I was going to fall in love with not one but two crazy dysfunctional vigilante killers!!

    28275336

    Rue has always marched to the beat of her own drum and she has no plans of changing the way she does things. Being a forensic medical examiner has made her see things beyond a clinical level and she uses that skill to her liking at night. But when she meets someone whose life's mission is to deliver their own kind of justice, Rue knows that kills as she knows it, is about to get a lot more complicated.

    I really enjoyed this one and it had the perfect balance of dark humor, sexual tension, and hilarious banter. Hugo and Rue were the complete opposite of each on paper but the minute they were in the same room together, you knew immediately that these two were meant for each other. They moved in sync and I loved seeing them in their natural element because they made each other better.

    This is my first time reading anything from this author and it certainly will not be my last! I'm really excited to see what she's going to do for the next few books in the series. If you're a fan of dark romance but you're looking for comedic relief as well, I highly recommend you read this one.

    Blog Tour: Her Forbidden Teacher by K Webster

    August 1, 2026

     


    Looking for a little bit of forbidden spice? Then snag your copy of Her Forbidden Teacher by K Webster today!


    One Click Your Copy Today!


    From USA Today Bestselling author K Webster comes a steamy, forbidden romance about a girl with a ruined reputation… and the teacher who risks everything to make her feel whole again.


    I ruined my life with one photo.

    I trusted the wrong girl.

    She sent it to the wrong man.

    And suddenly, I wasn’t just Addison Monahan anymore…

    I was the scandal.

    Expelled. Humiliated. Sent away to start over somewhere no one knows me.

    New house. New school. New rules.

    I was supposed to keep my head down.

    Stay out of trouble.

    Disappear.

    Then I met him.

    My teacher.

    He’s not supposed to look at me like I matter.

    Not supposed to listen when I speak.

    Not supposed to believe me when no one else did.

    But he does.

    And the more time we spend alone…

    The harder it is to pretend this is nothing.

    Because it’s not.

    It’s stolen moments in empty classrooms.

    Lingering looks that last too long.

    A connection that feels a little too real.

    We both know it’s wrong.

    That doesn’t stop me from wanting him.

    And it definitely doesn’t stop him from choosing me.

    When everything finally comes crashing down, he’ll have to decide…

    Save himself?

    Or ruin everything for me.


    A taboo MF romance featuring a forbidden student/teacher relationship, age gap, sneaking around, a scandalized heroine, and a broken hero who risks it all for the one girl he should never touch. No cliffhanger, no cheating, and an HEA guaranteed.

    It's been a while since I've read a student/teacher romance and even longer reading anything from this author. When I saw that she was coming out with this forbidden goodness, I knew that I had to jump on this one IMMEDIATELY.

    Addison Monahan has had a pretty rough school with a nasty rumor that forced her to change schools during her senior year. Hoping for a fresh start and to keep her head down, Addison quickly learns that there's some things that you can't out run.

    The last thing that Theo Langston needs is more drama in his life. Getting through a messy divorce did a number on him and the only thing that he's looking forward to, is starting his new job as a teacher. Seeing a new student getting harassed and bullied on her first day, Theo has a strong urge to not only protect her, but to get to know her on a personal level. Proving that this school year is going to be a difficult one.

    I knew that this was going to be a quick read and I was okay with that because it's a K Webster book and no one does forbidden and dark romance like her! But… this was more of a sprinkle of forbidden if I'm being honest. I wanted to be so wrapped up in these characters and feel the thrill of it all flowing through my veins with the secret meetings and stolen glances but sadly, I didn't FEEL it. Maybe my expectations were too high but I needed more from this one.

    With that being said, I'm really looking forward to reading about a certain side character. I think that I'm going to enjoy that story even more and I can't wait for it!
