⚔️ Hunter Avenged by N.J. Walters


 
Midnight RacersMidnight Racers by C.R. Robertson
Life was a racetrack that my car sped around, danger lurking on the corners, death in the pitstops, and love... Men like me never loved because it was a weakness that could be exploited... Until Charlotte.

Midnight Racers had arrived on the circuit with bad boy Flynn their champion. His past was filled with shadows and darkness that haunted his future, he drove fast and lived life to the extreme.

Born into racing royalty, Charlotte had dedicated her life to creating the perfect speed machine. Oil and petrol belonged in her DNA and the adrenalin rush of a race was the ultimate high.

Both had vowed that their team came first, that nothing was more important than the win, but lines blurred when that win was no longer about racing and all about their hearts.

Our Thoughts:
I floved these two!
They had me laughing so hard -
The chemistry-
The easy banter -
Her pet p@ ssy ********
Flynn and Charlotte's story is a must-read!

"Life just became interesting"
Charlotte had been manipulated most of her adult life.
She had been set up in a way that would allow them to suppress her independence while using her brilliant mind and keeping her in their back pocket -
Until a slip of the veil allowed her to see the truth
Now she has a chance to flourish and a family that will back her every move
(I am trying so hard not to give spoilers)

"A dead body has never done me any harm. It's the living we need to worry about"
Flynn ...
I absolutely adore him!! We met him in previous books but to really get to know him...
*sigh* Yummmmm

"Welcome to the dark side. We have cookies adrenalin and speed"
From beginning to end this was a fast-paced read - lots of humor - some angst - all kinds of steamy smexy - and cameos of some of my favorite characters as well as some new ones

"No body, no proof"
Like all the books in this series
We have growly Alpha Males that will raze the earth to protect the women who hold their hearts
Plenty of crimson moments

I hope this series continues <3 br="">

Willed to the Enemy (Venturi Mafia, #1)Willed to the Enemy by Nikki Rose
Book 1 in the Venturi Mafia Series.

**WARNING: This book ends on a CLIFFHANGER**

Mia Montecelli has little time to mourn her father's death before she must take his place as head of the Montecelli crime family. While attending the reading of his will, she finds that her father included conditions to her inheritance. She must marry the heir to the Venturi family, or forfeit half of her father’s legacy. But Giovanni Venturi isn’t the type of man Mia saw herself marrying. He’s irresponsible, selfish, and cruel. And what’s worse, she has a history with his brother.

Mateo Venturi puts family above all else. As the devoted son and consigliere to his father and don, his life consists of covering for his reckless older brother and doing whatever is needed to help the family. But Teo never expected his future sister-in-law to be the mystery girl he’d fallen for five years before. Feelings reignite every time Mia is near as Teo fights for the strength to push away the only girl he’s ever truly wanted.


Warning: This story contains violence, murder, death of a loved one, drug use, strong language, sexual situations, organized crime, attempted SA, and other adult content that may be disturbing to some readers. Content intended for readers 18+.

Our Thoughts

I was a bit disappointed in the beginning with Mia. She didn't come across, to me, as a strong Donna -
How did her father think she could run the family without knowing the truth?
Sure she could run the above-board businesses with ease but the not-so-legal stuff?
However, my disappointment in her was premature
As the tale of her trip into hades unfolds we get some background, get to see the skeletons hiding in closets
And suddenly everything starts to make sense
Even her father's choice to have her marry - gag - the Venturi heir made sense

Speaking of the heir - I'm sure I could scrape scum off the souls of my shoes that was smarter and would be more respected than him -
Gio is a self-serving maniacal idjiot -
My heart broke for Mia - Family or Self Preservation - She's in a no-win situation

Oh and the kicker?
Yes, it gets worse
The one man who had ever held her heart?
I am not sure if he is still the good guy he once was
I'm not spoiling it - I will let you decide when you get all the facts
On to book two

Hunter Avenged (Forgotten Brotherhood, #6)Hunter Avenged by N.J. Walters
It’s taken Viking hunter Sven Knutson six frustrating months to find her. To track down the angel responsible for compromising the Forgotten Brotherhood and waking the drakon. She may be clever. Resourceful. But no one ever gets away from Sven. Ever.

All Rivka longed for as an angel was a chance to serve on Earth and help humans. Instead, it all went impossibly, horribly wrong, and she still doesn’t understand how or even why. All she knows is that she’s on the run—not only from Heaven’s dangerous elite guard, but also from the Brotherhood, who want answers.

She might just have to trust the immortal Viking whose icy blue eyes make her feel almost wickedly human. Because someone wants Rivka dead and the Brotherhood eliminated. Someone powerful enough to take on the most dangerous assassins who have ever lived. Someone who could unleash the fury of both Heaven and Hell…and Rivka is the key.

Our Thoughts:

Non-stop action and suspense with a twist that should not be possible

Sven has been tasked with capturing Rivka and returning her to the brotherhood for questioning. For the first time in centuries, he finds himself enjoying the hunt. Rivka has proven to be quick-witted, intelligent, and kind. All things that have Sven questioning her guilt.

Rivka has been running from - well everyone - After being set up for a crime she did not commit she has been flashing from location to location in the hopes of finding an old spell book that will allow her to prove her innocence before she becomes just a splatter in some dingy alley

When Rivka and Sven collide fate takes over
Now they will fight side by side to prove Rivka's innocence

These two were explosive - quite literally - from the moment they bumped elbows to the HEA. A believable slow build steamy as hades romance. Non-stop action and adventure from the first page to the last.
If you are a fan of paranormal/fantasy this series is a must
