**BLOG TOUR WITH REVIEW** Ruthless Princess by Rachel Van Dyken

I'm going to say this not once, but many times. Everyone should read this book. RVD wrote one of the most epic mafia romance's I have ever read. She came in swinging to remind everyone why she's the queen of mafia. Amo Jones, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author

Ruthless Princess: A Mafia Royals Romance about best friends turned enemies, by Rachel Van Dyken, the number one New York Times bestselling author of the Eagle Elite series is LIVE.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend…

I never thought my father would ask this of me, to become the second generation at Eagle Elite University, to rule with an iron fist, and to take care of anyone who gets in our way.

But ever since the incident.

Ever since Him.

There’s been a war in our little clique.

After all, a house divided cannot stand.

He’s the problem, not me.

He used to kiss me like I was his oxygen.

Now he looks at me like I’m his poison.

But we both drank it, again and again, never believing there would be a day when our love would start a war.

And our friendship would shatter into a million pieces.

Then again, the worst thing you could do in the mafia is hang on to hope that your life will be normal.

The second worst thing?

Fall in love with your best friend.

Enemy.

And heir to the Nicolasi throne.

Tonya's Review

5 Stars

"Blood in, no out - Let's get Ruthless"

This book is more than 5 stars. It's a top read for the year. Easily.

I honestly have no words for this book! Well, I do, but I'm having issues on what to say because...wow.

I've read all the Eagle Elite series, so of course I had to read this new series. But, don't worry if you think you have to read Eagle Elte first, you don't! This is it's own series! You won't be lost. It does stand on it's own. You will probably want to go back and read though. But not because you have to. It will be because you get so sucked into the Mafia world! You'll need more.

This is Junior and Serena's story.

Serena is Nixon's daughter.

Junior is Phoenix's son.

"The Phoenix has risen"

We get to see this new group rise up and lead.

There is blood and loss. But,would it be a Mafia book if there wasn't?

You will tear up.

You will get emotional.

You will get scared.

You will be nervous and anxious.

You will get angry.

I absolutely love this book. The characters, story, and the writing are all amazing and fantastic. the twists are awesome!

"Life's too short to worry about too many twirls, take as many as you want, and be thankful you have the opportunity to twirl in the first place."

"Junior De Lange-Nicolasi was my curse and my reward. My treasure, my love. He was my perfect match in every way. And I would never, never let him go. He was my King - mine."

Excerpt: 

He licked his lips and repeated what he always did when we had to perform, when we had to do our jobs. “I won’t be gentle with you.”

Our foreheads touched, my chest heaved with exertion like it was hard to breathe when he was so near, but really it was the promise that killed me, a promise that he wouldn’t enjoy touching me ever again, that I was more curse than cure, and yet, I knew it was all we would ever get, these fleeting moments where we did our job too well. “Then make it hurt, baby.” My voice cracked. “Make it hurt.”

His lips parted in a groan as he spun me into his arms and crushed his mouth to mine. It was part pain, part pleasure as he pulled my hair then slid a hand up my shirt like nobody was watching when everyone was.

We broke apart, mouths swollen, my lower lip was bleeding.

A reminder for both of us—this was no cease-fire, this wasn’t real, it was all a carefully constructed show.

“Mmmmm…” I smirked. “Looks like Junior’s not playing around tonight, ladies.”

Screams went up as Junior grabbed my ass and squeezed so hard, I knew I would bruise later. He roughly pulled me against his chest and nipped at my neck.

I told my body it didn’t feel good.

I told my heart we were safe.

And I forced myself to believe the lie every single time we touched.

Because to do otherwise—would destroy me.

**NEW RELEASE WITH REVIEW** May Contain Wine by Lani Lynn Vale

Release Date: May 12

This is for charity. This is for fun. You are a professional. You can do it.

Those are the words that Calloway Alvarez chants to herself as she watches all the large men gather into the small room where she’ll be doing the interviews for her employer—Hero Magazine.

Honestly, she’s convinced herself that she can’t accomplish the task at hand.

That is until she hears his voice, and her head turns to see him standing there.

Louis Spurlock. Greek god. SWAT officer. Keeper of her secrets. Ultimate fantasy. Man who will break her heart.
***
Louis Spurlock has been playing nice.

He’s been biding his time, giving Calloway the space she thinks she needs.

But then he sees her taking photos of his friends in all states of undress, talking to them all as if they’re best friends, and that little thread of control he’d been managing to hold onto unravels.

Let’s change it up, she says. And the moment the words are out of her mouth, he’s stripping to his skivvies, and throwing out a challenge while he’s at it.

Calloway won’t know what hit her when he’s through playing.

But he does know one thing for sure. When it ends, she’ll be his.

Tonya's Review

5 Stars

This is the fifth book in the SWAT 2.0 series.  This is a complete standalone, so if it's your first, that's okay, but you will want to go back and read the others.

I absolutely love this series!

This is Calloway and Louis' book.

It is a second chance for them.

They grew up together, being kids of the first generation SWAT team.  In highschool, they became more. Until Louis left for bootcamp and broke it off with Calloway.

Now he's SWAT and home for good.  He has to get her back.

Calloway is still pissed at him.

My heart broke for Romeo once the full story came out.  He just wanted help.

I love how this story played out.  And I really can't wait for the rest!  Especially Booth and Bourne. 

"Chubby, single, and ready to Pringle."

**NEW RELEASE WITH REVIEW** The Rival Roomies by Piper Rayne

Release Date: May 12

I’ve loved him from afar.

Though most times he’s only a foot away. 

I’m smart enough to know he’ll never be anyone’s forever.

He checks all the bad boy boxes. 

Tattoos. Check. 

Motorcycle. Check. 

Chip on his shoulder. Check check.

If he wasn’t my neighbor and friend I may have thrown myself at him. Okay, yeah. I wouldn’t. Because guys like Dylan don’t want a woman who writes kid’s math textbooks under him in bed. Instead, I pathetically savor morsels of moments where I have his sole attention.  

That was until his archenemy moved in with me. Now suddenly, Dylan’s moving in too and warning off the first guy in a long time who’s showing me interest. Could he finally see me as more than a friend, or am I just a prize to win and show off to his enemy?

Tonya's Review

4 Stars

This is the third book in the Rooftop Crew series.  I would say this is a stand alone, but in the previous books, we do get to see Rain's crush on Dylan.

In the previous books, I didn't think Dylan was feeling the same way.  That is until Knox brings Jax back and he moves in with Rain.  This his feelings come out.

The funny thing is... EVERYONE already knew how he felt.  Jax figured it out right away.

We get Dylan's back story.  We also meet Rain's parents.  Oh how I wish Dylan would have told them off.  I'm happy Rain grew a back bone.

This sets up Seth's book next.  But I'm wondering if Jax will get a book.

P.S.  I should be really mad at Rain.  with having to do the remote learning with my 5th grader...I hate Pearson math!

8th Annual Mental Health Awareness Month Book Fundraiser

Welcome the 8th Annual Mental Health Awareness Month Book Fundraiser benefiting the Keith Milano Memorial Fund at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

 

For the 8th year, an amazing group of authors have generously agreed to donate, in Keith name, a portion of their May book sales to help raise awareness for mental health .... for the 8th year people who never knew Keith are coming together to make a difference. How do you thank a community that has helped you keep your brother’s spirit alive—a community that helped you keep a promise made to him after he passed. 15 years ago when we lost Keith, we decided he would not go quietly, that we would fight for mental health awareness, fight to bring mental illness out of the darkness in his name. At the time we had no idea what that would mean, where our journey would take us or that this community would embrace the cause and join us in the fight. This event was born organically out of us sharing Keith's story and our family's mission and we are humbled at how his story has resonated with so many. We continue to share his story and hope you will join us in making mental health a priority. By sharing your truth, the dialogue can continue to help others feel less alone and more likely to get help. Our family is so touched by how this community has embraced this cause. With Deepest Gratitude, Denise Milano Sprung  

Here is how you can help raise money and awareness for mental health:

• Purchase a book from the amazing books listed below! We hope you will #1click4charity a number of these amazing books! Please note that although below are Amazon Kindle links, the portion of sales is from any platform: digital, print and audio.
• Share the image below or any of the custom photos the participating authors share on social media to raise awareness and to show your support.
• Make a tax-deductible donation directly to the Keith Milano Memorial Fund at AFSP.

Thank you in advance for your support as we work to bring mental illness out of the darkness.

Fund Information: The Keith Milano Memorial Fund was established to help raise awareness about the devastating and deadly disease that is mental illness. Keith’s spirit and laughter is kept alive through our efforts to increase awareness about mental illness and to raise money for education and imperative research. Keith often struggled with society’s perception of mental illness. Our hope is that by having the strength to say that Keith was “Bipolar” we can strip away the stigma and help others to be more open about their disease. If you want to know more about Keith or why Denise does what she does, here is short video/interview that speaks to that! The Keith Milano Memorial Fund benefits the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). At the end of the event, participating authors pay AFSP directly. AFSP is the only national not-for-profit organization exclusively dedicated to understanding and preventing suicide through research and education, and to reaching out to people with mood disorders and those affected by suicide. AFSP is a fully accredited 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization incorporated in the state of Delaware with primary offices in New York City. Federal tax ID # is 13-3393329.
