This is the 23rd book in the Cerberus MC series. Don't worry, they are all stand alones, but I've loved every single one of them.
This is Spade and Sylvie's story.
These two are a lot alike. Neither want a relationship. They just want the fun.
Spade can be sort of an idiot when it comes to feelings. And maybe a little bit of a coward.
Sylvie does second guess and overthink things. But she does go through a lot in this book. She deals with a lot of guilt.
There is a lot that happens after Spade escorts Sylvie back to her hometown and they return.
If they would have just talked to each other, things would have worked out a whole lot sooner.
I do love them though.
Poor Aro, I can't wait until the next book.
Meet Marie James
Let's see...where to begin... I'm inching up on the BIG 4-0. The gray hairs are doubling what seems like daily, and the wrinkles and laugh lines are more pronounced than ever. I have an amazing husband (Married just over 15 years.) We have two boys we're doing our best to raise as respectful gentleman. I have a master's degree in criminal justice which I used to work as a juvenile probation office until deciding to write full-time in June of 2019. So that means there's usually always some criminal/law element to my novels. If I'm not writing; I'm reading. My favorite genres recently are bully/reverse harem and enemies to lovers. Maybe I'm reliving my traumatic teen years through the girls who actually end up with the boys. (Not that I would change my history since it's gotten me exactly where I need to be!) I love coffee. I miss carbs. Music is LIFE. I try not to be too serious.
From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.
The day I showed up to Dax Moody’s sprawling home, I had no idea what was coming.
As a traveling massage therapist, I was used to entering the houses of strangers.
But this assignment was different from any before it.
From the outside, I’d correctly assumed the owner was rich. What I didn’t realize was that he would be younger than I’d imagined, single, stunningly gorgeous, and mysterious.
Despite the fact that Dax had booked a massage, it never actually happened, since our first appointment was unexpectedly cut short by a comedy of errors.
Certain I’d never see him again after that day, I’d done nothing but think about the captivating man.
To my surprise, he called a second time. That appointment, we talked a lot, developing a stronger connection. But once again, there was no actual massage.
The man I now affectionately called “Moody” kept calling me to come back.
It took three times before I finally gave him the massage he’d ordered. Let’s just say it was challenging to keep things professional. I was extremely attracted to Dax, and by that time, I was falling hard.
Eventually, I’d find out why he’d been so aloof, the reason why he and I could never be together.
Our story was supposed to end there, but it didn’t.
Instead, I was left perpetually longing for a forbidden man.
I honestly don't know where to start, or what to say about this book.
It definitely wasn't what I was expecting.
Yes, it had funny moments, but there were a lot of serious moments as well.
I'm not going into detail, I'm going to be vague. Sorry, but I don't want to ruin, or give anything aways.
Dax and Wrent are both great. I understand why they "couldn't" take things further. Their hearts were in the right place.
Wren shows Dax that he does deserve love and that he is capable of loving others.
I absolutely loved this!
I honestly wasn't sure how this would end.
Would they be together?
Would they move on from one another?
You'll have to read it to find out.
AUTHOR BIO
Penelope
Ward is a New York Times, USA Today and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling
author of contemporary romance.
She grew up
in Boston with five older brothers and spent most of her twenties as a
television news anchor. Penelope resides in Rhode Island with her husband, son,
and beautiful daughter with autism.

million books sold, she is a 21-time New York Times bestseller and the author

My sisters are always the ones who catch a guy's eye at first sight. I'm used to attracting guys because I'm funny, or kind, or have a beautiful face. Never has my curvy figure drawn the attention of a man as hot as Noah.
But the second he stepped foot into my small town Alaskan inn, his gaze swept over me with desire, igniting a flame I thought was dead. He flirted with me, and I might've left two chocolates on his pillow at turndown, but that's where it stayed.
Over the years, he's floated in and out of town while a friendship developed between us. Which is probably for the best because I'm not a one-night stand kind of woman.

Tonya's Review
4 Stars
This is part of the Carmichael Family series. They are stand alones, but the pranks the brothers do on each other are hilarious. You don't want to miss those.
This is Maddox and Ashley's story.
They've been best friends since elementary school. They always flirt, but never go past that. It's an easy friendship, the type of friendship that everyone needs.
I did like how Sara and Becca set up the contest to go on the honeymoon with Ashley. She needed that little shove.
Both of these characters are great. Both have some realizations that happen.
I think Banks may be my favorite though and I can't wait until his book!

This is book ten in the Men of Inked: Heatwave series. They are stand alones, but each book has been great.
This is Luna and Nevin's story.
This is a little tamer, than the others. It's still an awesome read.
Luna is a badass! Nevin is a great guy that would do anything for his brothers. And he proved it!
Nevin and Luna had completely opposite upbringings. But they are both great people.

Rip doesn't trust Colby to take their new responsibilities seriously, while Colby can't believe Rip thinks children will thrive under his rigid control. Yet soon Rip and Colby discover they need each other more than they hate each other. Could it be possible that following their hearts is just what their new little family needs?

I don't even know where to start with this review. Rachel has done it again. I'm speechless. Well, almost speechless!
This book will definitely be on my top 5 reads for the year.
At 90% I really didn't want to keep reading. I didn't want the book to be finished.
Both Colby and Rip are amazing. Yes, they both struggled. But who wouldn't when put in this situation?
They are opposites for the most part. And now they have to become parents to two kids that just lost theirs.
This book will have you laughing out loud, but on the next page you'll be crying ugly tears.
You will have all the emotions. That's what makes Rachel such a fantastic and amazing author.
I want more!
