Adoring Ink: A Montgomery Ink Novella by Carrie Ann Ryan

She might have been the one to break the ties and ensure her ex's happy ending, but now Holly's afraid she's missed out on more than a chance at forever. Brody Deacon loves ink, women, fast cars, and living life like there's no tomorrow. The thing is, he doesn't know if he has a tomorrow at all. When he sees Holly, he's not only intrigued, he also hears the warnings of danger in his head. She's too sweet, too innocent. But when Holly asks him to help her grab the bull by the horns, he can't help but go all in.

Sweet Rivalry by K. Bromberg
Ryder Rodgers had a plan. He was going to stride into the conference room and win the biggest contract of his career. But when he walked in and heard the voice of one of his competitors, all his plans were shot to hell. Harper Denton was always on top. In college. First in their class. Always using every advantage to edge him out to win the coveted positions. The only one who could beat him. His academic rival. More like a constant thorn in his side. The fact that she's gorgeous and bright won't distract him. This time, Ryder's determined to be the one on top. But not if Harper can help it.

Shade's Lady: A Reapers MC Novella by Joanna Wylde
Looking back, none of this would've happened if I hadn't dropped my phone in the toilet. I mean, I could've walked away from him if I'd had it with me. Or maybe not. Maybe it was all over the first time he saw me, and he would've found another way. Probably-if there's one thing I've learned, it's that Shade always gets what he wants, and apparently he wanted me. Right from the first.

Fighting for Flight by JB Salsbury
What happens when in order to win, you're forced to lose? The only daughter of an infamous Las Vegas pimp, Raven Morretti grew up an outsider. Liberated from the neglectful home of her prostitute mother, she finds solace as a mechanic. With few friends, she's content with the simple life. Flying under the radar is all she knows and more than she expects. Until she catches the eye of local celebrity, UFL playboy, Jonah Slade. Jonah trades in his bad-boy reputation and puts his heart on the line. But when her father contacts her, setting in motion the ugly truth of her destiny, Jonah must choose.

Every Dark Nights tale is breathtakingly sexy and magically romantic.

REVIEW

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Anyone who knows me knows how obsessed I am with the 1001 Dark Nights books. OBSESSED!! This world gives us pieces of series we’ve read by authors we love and offers an introduction to authors we haven’t tried before. What is there not to like? Every Dark Nights tale is breathtakingly sexy and magically romantic. They ain’t lying. With Bundle 14, I got the chance to read two books from series I’ve already sampled so this was a great treat.

Shade’s Lady: A Reapers MC Novella by Joanna Wylde - I wasn’t the biggest fan of this series but I liked this one. Maybe it was because it made me laugh, or its sympathetic characters, or Shade’s over-the-top alpha ways, or Mandy’s refusal to buckle up for the ride, but I enjoyed myself with this one. It made me want to take another chance with the rest of the Reapers.

Fighting for Flight by JB Salsbury - I read this one before, back when I first fell in love again with the romance genre. But because I was still new to this world, I only 5 starred it without reviewing it. So, here goes...

Jonah was a prized MMA fighter, set to grab the championship. He’s not looking for any distractions. Having never been in a relationship, staying away from one is easy. Until it isn’t.

The best thing to ever happen to me shows up in coveralls and a pair of Chucks when I least expect it. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her.

Raven never had things easy. Her mom never showed her affection, she’s never thought much of herself to even try to date someone, so she lives her days as an amazing mechanic. She’s steeped in loneliness and it was easy to see even if she couldn’t identify it. And her whole entire world changes the day she meets Jonah.

These two were impossible not to fall in love with. Their journey to finding love with each other was easy, however, the road to happily ever after would be far from it. Raven’s mother was a prostitute, her father was her pimp (one of the most infamous pimps in Vegas), and he has every intention of turning her into a profitable commodity. Will Jonah be able to save his girl and ride off into the sunset?

“This whole time I thought I was living. But the day I met you, the lights came on. You fill me with things I thought I’d never feel again.”

There’s a lot of swoony moments, the hero is a heartthrob, the heroine is so adorable it’s not funny, there’s some suspense, and the side characters, especially Blake, made this story refreshingly unique. I read the entire series and I’ll tell you this… it is one series not to be missed.
