Feature with Review: From West, With Regret by Brittany Taylor

Posted on

He promised he’d come find me… then I forgot that he existed.

A tragic incident robbed me of any memories I’d ever had before my fourteenth birthday, and I spent the second half of my life wondering if I’d ever get them back.

Years later, on the way to my late husband’s funeral, in a city I don’t know, I slip into a bar to prepare his eulogy on a cocktail napkin. Instead, I end up confessing all my ugly truths about my abusive marriage to the bartender, confident we’ll never cross paths again.

Until I see him a few hours later, sitting beside my husband’s casket.

Turns out Weston Knight isn’t just a bar owner.
He’s also my dead husband’s billionaire brother.

Mortified, I’m desperate to escape, but when West finally catches up with me and offers me a job in one of his many bars in New York City, I can’t find it in me to resist him.

Everything about West feels familiar. His voice. His touch. His kisses.
It isn’t long before he’s consuming my every thought, even in my dreams.

But the closer we become, the more I learn that West has secrets of his own. Ones that have led to a life of regret. And when the memories of my tragic past finally return, I realize that maybe, just maybe, I’ve crossed paths with this man before.

They say you should leave the past behind.

But what if the past is all I’ve ever wanted?

*From West, With Regret is an angsty, spice filled, ex’s brother billionaire romance. It is Book 2 in the NYC Billionaires Series and can be read as a complete standalone, however, it is recommended you read Book 1 first.

MY REVIEW

“Can you possibly know someone without knowing them?”

“Our connection was already mapped out in the stars.”

He promised he’d come and find me, and then I forgot him…Talk about a line that totally grips your heart!!  It’s been a minute since I’ve read a book with an amnesia trope, and this one did not disappoint.  From West, With Regret is a beautiful love story of love, loss, soulmates, and regret.

The moment West lays eyes on London, it’s as though no time has passed. Every memory, every moment, flashes before his eyes. The only problem is that London doesn’t remember him at all. Despite having amnesia, she doesn’t let her lack of memory define her. She takes every moment in stride and is determined to make the most of each moment.  And when tragedy strikes, London finally gets her freedom and a chance to discover who she really is.

From West, With Regret left me tangled up in knots in the best possible way. West was one of my favorite characters and definitely a top book boyfriend for 2025. The lengths he went through to ensure London’s safety and happiness made my heart swoon. There is nothing and I mean nothing he wouldn’t do for her.

West and London’s story will take readers on one heck of a ride. Their story is emotional and consuming. These two characters have been THROUGH it and despite every obstacle and twist thrown their way, their love only grew stronger.

In the end, this book will make you believe in the forever kind of love, soulmates, and happily ever afters.

RELEASE BLITZ: Breathtaking by Bella Matthews

Posted on

Breathtaking by Bella Matthews is now live! 

A surprise pregnancy, marriage of convenience, billionaire romance from #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling author Bella Matthews.

Pushing Maddox Beneventi away was the hardest thing I’ve ever done . . . until the day I showed up at his doorstep clutching a positive pregnancy test.

If you’d have told me we’d be married a month later, I’d have laughed in your face. Because this tall, dark, devastatingly handsome billionaire couldn’t possibly be my happily ever after. Even if he was the only one I’d ever truly wanted.

Fairytales don’t always come true—especially for a princess.

But this isn’t a fairytale.

This is the story of how Maddox Beneventi saved me.
How he fought for me.
For us.

Maybe one day, I’ll tell our child the truth behind our so-called happy ending.

About the pain . . . the devastation and destruction that was left in our wake.

How hard we fought. First each other, then everyone else.

One day, I’ll share that the price we paid was the pain left etched on our souls.

But that day?

That day isn’t today.

Enemies by Piper Lawson is now live! 

I made a deal with my worst enemy. Now, he won’t let me go.

I had a plan: sign a contract, escape to Ibiza, and rebuild my life.
It didn’t include Harrison King. A British billionaire with a sharp mind, a sharper tongue, and a reputation as ruthless as his business empire.

He’s the reason my world went up in flames. The last person I’d ever trust.
But he offers me a way out. One that comes with fine print and even finer temptation…and I can’t afford to say no.

Now, I’m in his world. Under his roof. Following his rules.
The fire between us is impossible to ignore, and the more I learn about the man behind the tailored suits and cocky smirk, the more dangerous he becomes…

Not because he’s my enemy.
Because he might be something more.

The Enemies Trilogy is a complete, sizzling, high-stakes billionaire romance filled with fierce chemistry, breathtaking twists, and irresistible tension. Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, powerful heroes, and heroines who refuse to back down.

MY REVIEW

I had the pleasure of beta-reading this book and think readers are in for a real treat. Empire of Ache & Ruin isn’t your mama’s Beauty and the Beast retelling. This story has fire, passion, betrayal, and revenge. You will be taken on a wild and frustrating ride, and that will test your limits and keep you on your toes.

The fire and chemistry between Paloma and Archer oozed off the pages. They frustrated me at times, but I couldn’t get enough. I was completely invested and couldn’t wait to see how their story would play out.

Empire of Ache & Ruin is a sexy and compelling read with cameos and wonderful characters you’ll love to hate and a cliffhanger ending that will leave you begging for more. I can’t wait to find out what happens next.

*Thank you to the author for the opportunity to beta read an early copy of this book*

Excerpt 

Copyright 2025, Diana A. Hicks

“So good.” He releases me from my binding. 

My legs are jelly at this point. I drop, but he catches me before I hit the floor. A wave of ecstasy lingers at my core as he scoops me into his arms. My cheek lands on the bit of his exposed skin, and I melt into him. I’m floating, still riding the high even though he already took the swan away.

I lift my head as he takes the stairs down to the second level. He’s taking me back to my room. I should object. But what can I expect? That just because I let him do all those things to me, he would change his mind about what I am to him?

Wife.

His word echoes in my head. 

I want to fight him, push him away, and tell him I don’t need his help. But there’s no point. The all-powerful Mr. Archer get whatever he wants. I let him carry me to my bed. Once I’m on top of the covers, he removes my shoes and my jeans. And then it hits me. He brought me here without my top. 

“Get under the covers.” He lifts the duvet. “I want you to sleep like this. Naked. Do you understand?”

I nod and do as he says, too tired to argue with him. As soon as my head lands on the soft pillow, I doze off. My eyes flutter open, then they close, and then, I’m in my favorite dream—the one where Archer guards my sleep, filling all the empty spaces in my room with his raw energy. 

“Stay away from me, Little Dove.” His hand hovers over my cheek. “I’m exactly the monster you think I am.”

“You’re not a monster.” I turn on my side, curling my body toward the edge of the mattress. When I glance up at him, he’s gone. 

I sit up, my heart racing.

I look to every corner, but all I find are shadows that don’t match his. Did I dream the whole thing? I squeeze my legs together, and my overly sensitive bud reacts as if it’s ready for another round. I peek at the nightstand and all the colors dancing on the facets of the crystal swan. Tears roll down my cheeks. 

Archer is real. Just like his resolution to stay away from me. 

“I’m your wife, you idiot.” I punch the pillow next to me. “I’m not your enemy.”

Excerpt 

Copyright 2025, Diana A. Hicks

I want to devour her right here and now. But the pout of her lips seems, for lack of a better word, inexperienced. Or is that what I paid for? She’s so experienced at fucking men, she’s able to fool me into this fantasy where I’m the predator, and she’s my prey. 

“I do too.” I finish the rest of my drink. 

When I reach for her waist, her eyes widen in surprise. Her mouth forms a perfect “o” as she lets me guide her toward me. A willing participant, I fall for her game. I pull her gently toward me, and she delicately surrenders to my embrace. She trembles fisting the sleeve of my suit jacket. My cock fucking loves it.

Yes, I want to ravage her, to tear up her expensive dress, and suck on her tits until she comes. But I want this game too. I want her desire to boil over. I want her to beg for me. 

Gently, I place my index finger under her chin and press my mouth to hers. Fucking ecstasy. She moans quietly and melts in my arms. I take her surrender as an invitation to coax her velvet tongue to meet mine. She tastes like whiskey and green apples. When her lips part to let me in, I deepen the kiss, claiming her mouth the way I plan to plunder her cunt in the next five minutes. 

“I don’t think I did enough.” She pulls away, panting to catch her breath. “How are you still standing?”

Her words are like a spell. She’s no innocent maiden. She is a witch. My body knows what’s happening to me, but my brain and my cock are still hung up on her, refusing to see the truth. I fall to the floor with a heavy thud, and still, I can’t form the thought in my head. 

“Little Dove,” I mumble.

She poisoned me?

I lie on the soft carpet unable to move, staring up at her. Her eyes go big like saucers in surprise or trepidation. I can’t fucking tell the difference anymore. 

“Let’s go,” a male voice calls from somewhere near the door. “Now. Who knows how long the effects will last. He’s a beast.”

“I’m coming.” She touches her fingers to her lips. She looks lost and confused. 

You can drop the act, Little Dove. 

I glare at her with all the contempt I can muster. 

“Why did you kiss him?” the man asks. 

“I don’t know.” She smooths out her dress, her eyes never leaving mine. “Get the money.”

Review: The Exception by Jenna Hartley

Posted on

When my former boss—a man known as a cold, heartless, billionaire—proposes to me, I think he must be joking.

Except I know Graham Mackenzie well enough to know he doesn’t joke.
He’s brooding, keenly intelligent, and fifteen years older than me. And the deal he’s offering…is no laughing matter.

I need money to save a château and fulfill a promise to my great-aunt, and he needs a wife.
After two years, if we can pull this off, we’ll go our separate ways.

It’s supposed to be a business agreement—nothing more. But the longer we pretend, the more I feel like I see the real Graham. And I find myself wishing for something real.

A marriage of convenience seemed like the perfect solution. At least until I started developing real feelings for my fake husband.

Purchase on Amazon

MY REVIEW

“Everything about him was so intense, so consuming that I couldn’t look away.”

There’s literally nothing better than a fake relationship, marriage of convenience with my wife vibes. And let me tell you, the “my wife ” trope is my latest addiction, and this book did not disappoint!

On the outside, Graham appeared cold and heartless, but in reality, he had a huge heart and was totally swoon-worthy. I had no idea just how sexy the French language was until I met Graham. And Lily is a force to be reckoned with.  While she might have been afraid to tell her family off, she wasn’t afraid to give Graham a run for his money.

Together, Graham and Lily had amazing banter and chemistry. The will they/won’t they moments drove me a little crazy, but we’re certainly worth it in the end. And while their relationship didn’t start off in the most conventional way, I loved watching Graham and Lily grow together as a couple and find their way to happily ever after.

The Exception was a terrific read from beginning to end. It had a great balance of family, romance, and drama. I also loved the alopecia rep. It’s not something you typically see explored in romance novels, and I felt like the author tackled this subject very well.

All in all, it is a very enjoyable read.

Blinking away the tears, I stumbled toward the figure holding my child. More specifically, the man suspending her by the ankles, gently shaking her body as if she were a newly torn piñata. “Where’s the candy?” His deep, dark drawl rumbled. No baby talk for him. “I know you have some. Don’t play.”

“I don’t!” Gravity giggled, trying to kick the air, arms flailing. “I ate it all on the way here.”

Snitch.

“I suppose I’ll just have to eat you then.”

Another fit of giggles. “Nooo, Uncle Rhyrand. Mommy won’t let you! She woves me!”

My heart finally slowed. I wiped my clammy hands on my sweatshirt, feigning nonchalance as I joined them on the sidewalk.

Them being my daughter and Rhyland Coltridge.

Rhyland Coltridge being my brother’s best friend.

A man-whore.

A cocky bastard who knew he was God’s best creation to date.

A debauched, selfish piece of work clad in a Prada suit.

Too bad that piece of work was a masterpiece.

Rhyland put the “fun” in “dysfunctional.” He was a menace who got a free pass for all his faults through his striking exterior. His princely features included six feet and four inches of bronze, taut, flawlessly muscled body, gold-spun hair the color of an endless wheat field, and eyes as green and bright as the shiniest emeralds. Everything about him, from his cruelly sharp jawline, cartoonishly high cheekbones, and full lips to his straight nose, screamed perfection.

And we hated each other.

Actually, he couldn’t muster enough shits to have any kind of strong feelings about me or anyone else. It was one of the reasons I detested him. He was living, breathing proof that you could live with no heart inside your chest.

“Hello, Rhyland.” I strode toward him, putting my fake bravado on like it was a fancy hat.

“Hello, fuckup,” he parried tonelessly, hoisting my child onto his arm and leveling me with an acutely bored glance. He wore a coin pendant on a plain black chain on his neck. Still. He’d been carrying that shit around since we were practically teens. I would ask what it meant, but I’d never really cared.

“Watch your mouth in front of my child,” I warned him coolly.

“Mommy said ‘fuck’ in the car,” Gravity provided cheerfully, giggling.

Traitor.

“It’s called wishful thinking, kid.” Rhyland flashed a predatory canine smile that made my bones freeze a little.

He wasn’t pretty-boy sexy. He was half-Viking, half-Hozier sexy.

The honking intensified into one long blare that just kept on going. We both ignored it.

Rhyland gave me a withering look. “Pull yourself together, Casablancas. Your kid could’ve died.” He sneered. “While you’re at it, take her back. I’m not a babysitter.”

That was all it took for me to officially and finally lose it.

MY REVIEW

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve read an LJ Shen book, but let me tell you, Wildest Dreams does not disappoint!

Dylan Casablancas is everything Ryland could ever want in a woman, there’s just one little problem. Dylan is Ryland’s best friend’s little sister. Staying away from her should be easy, but when a series of events puts Dylan on his path and forces an unexpected agreement, all bets are off.

Dylan was a force to be reckoned with. She was fierce, determined, and stubborn as heck. As a single mom, she was used to putting everyone else first and going it alone, but Ryland put a wrench in her carefully crafted plans. Going to New York was supposed to be a fresh start for Dylan. The last thing she expected was to find herself in a fake relationship with the one person she loathed. But, you know what they say, all that hate has got to lead to some extraordinary passion. That brings us to Ryland. Ryland is best known as a heartless playboy who only thinks of himself. But when he finds himself in an unexpected situation, he’s forced to make some changes. As the story progresses, you quickly see that there is more to Ryland than what meets the eye. His character experienced a TON of growth going from a playboy without a care in the world to a man who would give his heart and soul to those who mean something to him.

What I loved about these characters was that they weren’t afraid to be themselves. They are who they are and aren’t afraid to own up to their past mistakes. Dylan and Ryland were equally stubborn and some of the most entertaining banter. I loved Dylan’s sass and that she wouldn’t let Ryland get away with anything. And their chemistry…..Not only was it off the charts, but it just oozed off the pages and left you begging for more. Oh, I can’t forget about Gravity. This little girl stole my heart and gave Ryland a run for his money. Let’s just say when it comes to Gravity, Ryland has definitely met his match.

Wildest Dreams is a fantastic brother’s best friend, forbidden romance. I was utterly captivated by the entertaining characters and writing style. I loved the romance, the angst, and the drama. The will they/won’t they moments left me breathless with anticipation and hanging on each and every word. And as a Swifty, I appreciated all the music/song references.

Dylan Casablancas is everything Ryland could ever want in a woman, there’s just one little problem. Dylan is Ryland’s best friend’s little sister. Staying away from her should be easy, but when a series of events puts Dylan on his path and forces an unexpected agreement, all bets are off.

Dylan was a force to be reckoned with. She was fierce, determined, and stubborn as heck. As a single mom, she was used to putting everyone else first and going it alone, but Ryland put a wrench in her carefully crafted plans. Going to New York was supposed to be a fresh start for Dylan. The last thing she expected was to find herself in a fake relationship with the one person she loathed. But, you know what they say, all that hate has got to lead to some extraordinary passion. That brings us to Ryland. Ryland is best known as a heartless playboy who only thinks of himself. But when he finds himself in an unexpected situation, he’s forced to make some changes. As the story progresses, you quickly see that there is more to Ryland than what meets the eye. His character experienced a TON of growth going from a playboy without a care in the world to a man who would give his heart and soul to those who mean something to him.

What I loved about these characters was that they weren’t afraid to be themselves. They are who they are and aren’t afraid to own up to their past mistakes. Dylan and Ryland were equally stubborn and some of the most entertaining banter. I loved Dylan’s sass and that she wouldn’t let Ryland get away with anything. And their chemistry…..Not only was it off the charts, but it just oozed off the pages and left you begging for more. Oh, I can’t forget about Gravity. This little girl stole my heart and gave Ryland a run for his money. Let’s just say when it comes to Gravity, Ryland has definitely met his match.

Wildest Dreams is a fantastic brother’s best friend, forbidden romance. I was utterly captivated by the entertaining characters and writing style. I loved the romance, the angst, and the drama. The will they/won’t they moments left me breathless with anticipation and hanging on each and every word. And as a Swifty, I appreciated all the music/song references.

*I was provided an ARC copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review*
