Story
Lily and her ex-husband, Ryle, have just settled into a civil coparenting rhythm when she suddenly bumps into her first love, Atlas, again. After nearly two years separated, she is elated that for once, time is on their side, and she immediately says yes when Atlas asks her on a date. But her excitement is quickly hampered by the knowledge that, though they are no longer married, Ryle is still very much a part of her life—and Atlas Corrigan is the one man he will hate being in his ex-wife and daughter’s life.

Story
I’m not attracted to men. Or so I thought before I slammed into Nikolai Sokolov. A mafia heir, a notorious bastard, and a violent monster. An ill-fated meeting puts me in his path. And just like that, he has his sights set on me. A quiet artist, a golden boy, and his enemy’s twin brother. He doesn’t seem to care that the odds are stacked against us. In fact, he sets out to break my steel-like control and blur my limits. I thought my biggest worry was being noticed by Nikolai. I’m learning the hard way that being wanted by this beautiful nightmare is much worse.

Reviewed: 12-18-23
First M/M book, but had to finish the series because I love the series. The out of control Nikolai Sokolov quick to anger & to pound his fist against anyone’s face, set his obsessive behavior on Landon King’s his worst enemy twin brother?
When Nikolai invite Brandon and he’s wearing his yellow mask as a way to get under Landon’s skin but what Nikolai don’t understand is when he forces Brandon sit on his lap that would be is new obsession. So what do you do when you have Nikolai who is not afraid of his sexuality (Bisexual ) and Brandon who’s afraid of his get stalked by the Russian mob?
Great read the series is awesome to revisit all old couples

When the Wildbloods presented their daughters to me on the night of the Tithing, they knew what was to come for the chosen girl. The crescent moon that marked Willow made her mine. I had no choice but to take her. Destiny determined our fates long before we were born, laying our roles out for us. A sacrifice would be made. A tithe paid. Only then would our families be free, at least until the next payment came due.

Sacrifice or Love whaat do you choose?
Reviewed: 10-28-23
The Sacrifice Duet the IVI Society World they're fantastic stories, enlightment regarding the ways of The Society.
This time, we have the Wildblood and the Delacroix families with a feud that continues to bring them together over a centuries old curse. Each Wildblood female to be born with the half moon mark must marry the first born Delacroix as a tithing, where both will be part of a sacrifice. But Azrael is not the first born, He was a twin which his brother was not found worthy of the Delacroix according to the grandmother. What said sacrifice entails is not yet clear, but the whispers of a remote past show spilled blood and lives lost.
These are the ways of The Society, one ruled by men, among men arcaic, ancient and powerful beyond measure, IVI governs with an iron fist, being the judge, jury and executioner for those daring to disobey.
Suspicion, rebelion and defiance go both ways, mostly from Willow's part, understandable, since she marries Azrael and now resides in his estate, being welcomed by his brother and sister, but not their grandmother. As so, every defense is an opportunity for annoying her and Willow has her trumps. Herbs, potions, stones and spells are her protection to all evil, but her intuition is the most powerful of all. Focus and attention, make Willow see clear and without filters.
Uncertainity soon becomes admiration, desire and want, against all odds and they are falling in love and falling hard...
Azrael is internally conflicted between his feelings and his duty to the family. He knows what the what the future brings, but his heart is not in sync with the scriptures and the will to turn things around is a promise he pretends to accomplish. The only thing he asks Willow is for her trust. Now not only is the century long feud, now another evil is hunting Willow trying to eliminate all witches of the evil and their sights are on Willow.
Who will Willow fall fate to...The Delacroix or the Witch hunters? Will Azrael save her or will Willow fate be met?

Fate after Revenge
Reviewed: 10-24-23
What do you get when one has lost her voice after a kidnapping & another who rains hell on others just cause he’s too smart/genius artist and bored.
One pissed off Mia Sokolov drags her identical twin to give revenge for messing with her family…Mia is daughter of Russian mob Rai Sokolov & Kyle Hunter of New York. However all she did was put herself in the sight of Landon King, Landon parents Levi & Astrid King…was Mia really prepared for Landon. Well let me say it goes both ways Landon wasn’t prepared for this spitfire either and who knew they would be what each other need after a few twist & turns Rina Kent style. “ it all comes down to wearing the appropriate mask in the right situation and with the right people. It still bores me to tears though. People as a concept have only one merit the ability to be used. Other than that, they’re brainless, rotten species that I like to pretend I don’t belong to.”

Damien Sinclair is a force of nature, the beauty of a sunset over the ocean while capable of devastating hurricane-strength winds. At one time, he’d held my heart in his hands. That was until the day I walked away. I didn’t leave him because I didn’t love him. It was that loving him was too much, an all-encompassing affair. In his presence, I failed to exist.

When Passion meets
Reviewed: 09-26-23
Always love a Aleatha Romig novel she is that one click author that you will never be disappointed. The problem usually is those dare cliffhangers…waiting I tried to wait til next one was coming but gave in. At least now I only have to wait a couple of weeks, whew!!!
What can I say about Damien Sinclair but wow he that alpha you can bury yourself in and get lost and that is the very reason beauty Gabriella Crystal left him two years prior.
Ella wanted a name for herself and being buried under Damien Sinclair wouldn’t achieve that goal, so Ella left the only man she felt so much passion for to find herself. What a great job she did at Beta Kappa Phi until the day she felt her luck had ran out. You ask why her luck ran out? After two years (which it took) of getting over Damien Sinclair guest who she runs into at the airport yes the one and only Damien. One look into those blue orbs and she was gone.
So read this passionate couple journey of finding themselves right back where they left off but is it enough to stay together? We don’t know until the duet!!! Hurry up, you think we will get an early release?

Queen Viper the Badass!!!
Reviewed: 08-05-23
Talking about a dark, dangerous good book, stop and look no more. I fell in love with bad ass Roxy a bad ass, sexy, sassy heroine in this story. Roxy is not a damsel in distress she is a kick ass take no name later type of chic. Her trusty bat, which she keeps behind her bar and her bad ass boots. Roxy had a hard life her father the drunk beat her every chance he got but Roxy didn't let that be the end of her story she finally ran away from the abusive father and pulled up her boots straps and made it on her own. Her mentor left her a dive bar she called it Roxy's and because she knew pain she didn't put up with no ones crap Roxy & her bat would beat the crap out of anyone that got out of line in her bar. That is until her no good, drunk, abusive deadbeat of a father gambled and ran up a debt he couldn't pay to the wrong people. So the deadbeat sold the only thing he didn't own. Yes his daughter Roxy...You would think after the hell he put her through, the beatings & broken bones after she ran away he would be happy right. NOPE he sold the only thing he could bargain, his daughter Roxy!!!
The Viper brothers own the town and brought fear into everyone in it, they were everyones worst nightmare, that is until they came across the badass Roxy who matched their crazy. Ryder, Kenzo, Garrett & crazy man Diesel strolled into Roxy's dive bar after sending 3 men after her previously. Yes she took all three men down and dumped them into the alley for the police. The Vipers not knowing what or how one little woman could take their men down went to retrieve their paid in full merchandise "kidnap" Roxy themself. What they didn't aspect was they would meet Roxy, her bat and her fist, the woman could fight. Once Roxy woke up in the Den of Vipers we get the ride of our lives. Roxy with her fierce personality took every Viper down one by one Ryder the leader & brains of their operation, Kenzo, Ryders brother the number guy was the first to go down to be caught of the web and whirlwind called Roxy. Diesel the crazy man and the one who was indeed crazy he was who tortured you in his basement his office & lastly Garrett the last our big man our fighter and enforcer that took no prisoners. Dark Dark book and fun have you on the edge of your seat type of book. First time reading this author and it was worth the hours I spent reading.

I lived in the dark for three years. My whole world revolved around the whims and happiness of three men. It was just a trip into the forbidden. A way out of a bad situation and forward into nothingness. Quin, with his easy smile and charming good looks. He was always there for me...until he wasn't. Smith and his dispassionate attention. He was never there for me and he never regretted it. Bric, the one who listened, but only to himself. Self-absorbed, self-obsessed, and self-serving. He was never the one I wanted. And now he might be the only one I have left.

Will Quin ever forgive Rochelle for leaving without a word. He been a mess for an entire year but he has pushed past his hurt to try and be normal. However what is normal without Rochelle? That is until Rochelle shows back up in Denver with a baby…who is the father Bric or me?
Rochelle Bastille was in a quad relationship for 3 years and decide to leave one day because the one man I’m this quad didn’t love her back and she wanted more. But Quin wanted the game more than he wanted the idea of Rochelle. Quin friends meant more to him and he didn’t ever want a “normal relationship” he wanted what his friends and him always had, sharing women. Quin easy smile, charming, great looks. Smith dispassionate attention & never there. Bric always listened but was self absorbed, self obsessed & self centered. The game and the rules were important so how could Rochelle compete so she left with no explanation. One problem, Rochelle took a part of Quin with her something he never knew she had his love, Will Quin ever forgive Rochelle and what will he do when he finds out the same friends betrayed him just to get the game back?
