Release: The Duke's Indecent Desires (Indecent Dukes #4) by Golden Angel with my review



WHO DOES HE TRULY DESIRE?

Run, don't walk, to your favorite retailer and grab The Duke's Indecent Desires by Golden Angel Romances today!





A matchmaker creates the match; she does not become the bride...

When the arrogant Duke of Bolton secretly hires the most sought-after matchmaker of the ton, Lady Hu declines to advise him personally. Instead, she sends her granddaughter, Mei—a friend and confidant of the Duke's sister—to make a match for the man who once insisted his station alone should secure him a suitable bride. He needs her help more than ever now that his overbearing mother has returned to London to advise him on marital matters.

A house party, where Mei has chosen the attending debutantes, is the perfect place to show off her skills as matchmaker. But close quarters sparks an undeniable attraction between herself and the Duke. They can’t stay away from each other, and yet Mei can’t give in. To become the Duke’s mistress would mean giving up her career, her security, her entire future, all while he takes a proper debutante to be his wife.

The war between duty and desire has begun.



About the Author:
Golden Angel is a USA Today best-selling author and self-described bibliophile with a "kinky" bent who loves to write stories for the characters in her head. If she didn't get them out, she's pretty sure she'd go just a little crazy.

She is old enough to know better but still too young to care, and a big fan of happily-ever-afters, strong heroes and heroines, and sizzling chemistry.

When she's not writing, she can often be found on the couch reading, in front of her sewing machine making a new cosplay, hanging out with her friends, or wandering the Maryland Renaissance Fair.









My Review - 





Teaser: Blue Bird (Hawke's Wood #4) by Quinn Marlowe



They're the only family she has left...
But her stepfather and stepbrother aren't the men she remembers.

Blue Bird by Quinn Marlowe joins the Hawke's Wood series on November 10th!


I thought I had everything under control.

But a single mistake endangers all that, and I’m forced to call the one man who never gave up on me: my stepbrother and former best friend, Logan Hawke.

When we were sixteen, I ran away from Logan and his father without telling them why. Now, Logan is taking me home again... to the stepfather who probably never wants to see me again.

My return is every bit as hard as I feared. Dutch Hawke is no longer the rough, affectionate man who cared for me when my mother left. He’s changed, and when I arrive I find his eyes hot with passion, his tongue sharp with anger.

And the return to Wood changes Logan, as well. He’s suddenly dark and brooding, a shadow rather than the sunshine boy I grew up with.

These men aren’t the safe haven I remember. And I’m not the outgoing girl they once knew. But I need safety, and Dutch and Logan are my only family. If they’ll have me back.

If we can learn to live with each other again.

Then, when the trouble that chased me out of New York City suddenly arrives in Wood, I get my answer. Dutch’s ice turns to a heated possessiveness and Logan becomes more dangerously protective than I imagined possible.

One is shadows and darkness, hot desires running under a rocky exterior. The other has a heart tender enough to shatter at the lightest touch.

They’re more than the stepfather and stepbrother I knew when I was young.

They’re the matches my soul has been waiting for.

If we can survive the trouble that’s coming for all of us in Hawke’s Wood.

If we can allow ourselves to finally love. Finally trust.

Finally build a family.

Blue Bird is the fourth book in the Hawke’s Wood series, and is why choose, small-town romance that features stepfather, stepbrother, motorcycle club, protective heroes, touch her and die, found family, snowed in at Christmas, and enough spice to make you want a Logan and Dutch of your very own.




About Quinn:

Quinn Marlowe is a writer of girls with bad ideas and the men who have to save them. She doesn't believe in simple plots or clean endings... and she loves a good cliffhanger.

She's not sorry for that. 

She's a fan of red wine, cheesecake, perfect hash browns, and really good punk rock. She’s also obsessed with everything piratical—though she refuses to acknowledge any actual connection to pirates. She studied English and Film at UCLA and, when forced to choose a career, chose publishing rather than teaching or being a filmmaker. Quinn lives in San Diego with her dogs, the ducks that moved into the front yard, and far too many cats.

When she's not writing, you can find her riding her horse or playing villain in someone else's story. And she's not sorry about that, either.

Love a small town, friends-to-lovers, different worlds, the-one-who-got-away cowboy love story?

Reserve a copy of Flawless to Filthy by Janine Infante Bosco now!

Everyone knows that on Fallen Meadows Ranch, passion runs deep and second chances must be earned...

Jude

When you're born and raised on the wrong side of the tracks, a smooth ride through life is a luxury you can't afford. That's why I break my back to keep the ranch equipment running. My life is hard, but it's also honest, and I've accepted that it doesn't have a happy ending. How could it when Genevieve Montgomery is my biggest regret?

Then a rare night out with the guys from the ranch lands me face-to-face with the woman I've never been able to forget. She's still just as flawless as the day she walked out of my life, and if the sparkling rock on her finger isn't enough of a reality check, meeting her polished fiancé—a local politician who expects my vote—certainly is.

I can stay in my lane and respect that she'll always be out of my league. But as campaign season heats up, she gets a taste of my rough and rowdy world, and to my surprise, this perfectly put together good girl isn't afraid to get a little filthy.

Then everything explodes. Genevieve's fiancé is hell-bent on taking down the Fallen Demons MC, and he doesn't care who gets caught in the crossfire. When the truth comes out, suddenly I'm protecting her from the biggest mistake of her life, but I'll be damned if I let anyone ruin her twice.

Cover Reveal and Preorder: Hell to Harmony (Fallen Demons MC #3) by E.C. Land



IT'S ANOTHER SADDLE RIDGE COVER REVEAL!

Check out the steamy cover of Hell to Harmony by E.C. Land!

Design: CT Designs

Preorder Hell to Harmony here 👇

I never thought I'd have a reason to fight like a demon again...


Mammon

I’ve spent most of my life watching the things I care about burn to ash. After the tragedy of losing people I loved most, I shut down and let a bitter silence drive a wedge between me and my sister. Now, my eyes are finally wide open. I’m proud to see my sister finding her own happiness, but a guy like me, with grease on his hands and the Fallen Demons MC patch on his back, I'm good on my own. I’m just focused on making sure I never lose anyone else.

Until she crashes into my world like the harmony in the midst of my forever hell. 

Paisley is pure sunshine and joy. A bright light, and a badass on the rodeo circuit. She's better than the life she's living, but you'd never know it by the way she works her fingers to the bone. She’s everything I’m not, and the harder she tries to smile through the grit, the faster she tears down my walls.

But a light that bright attracts dangerous shadows. Paisley thinks she’s just dealing with typical rodeo drama, but I see something sinister in the threats she's been getting. Someone isn't just bitter about not being the best. And whoever it is doesn't just want revenge. They're trying to destroy her.

No matter who's behind this, I'm determined to protect her, because I never thought I’d have something worth fighting for again. Whoever thinks they can touch my girl will find out exactly why I’m called Mammon and am part of the Fallen Demons.

Books I Plan to Read October 25-31 and last week's results

 


La ora na (be healthy in Tahitian),

Sorry for the delay. I have gotten wrapped up in the packing process and ran out of time in the day. We are having movers pack a POD for us this coming Wednesday. It is getting closer, and I am getting excited, though I am also sad. The final move won't be until November (fingers crossed). It all depends on the selling of our house.

The weather here has been amazingly sunny with temperatures during the day 50's-60's. At night it has gotten down to the 40's. I do enjoy autumn/fall, especially the nice days. Who is the weather by you? 

Last week's reading went as planned, and I did squeeze in an extra ebook. I actually have a chart that shows any ARCs that are due, and somehow I missed this one.

Ebooks: 

All or None by Clive Fleury - 4 1/2 stars.

Rope Burn by Delta James - 5 stars.

(extra) Haunted Harley by Morgan Jane Mitchell - 5 stars.

Audiobooks: 

By Hook or By Book by Misty Simon - 5 stars.

Suppression by Laramie Briscoe - 5 stars.


Planned for October 25-31:

Ebooks: 





Audiobooks: 




Well, that is it for now. With most of the packing done, I may have a little more free time. Only time will tell. With the cooler weather, I like to stay curled up in bed in the morning and read. How about you? Feel free to comment and let me know what you are up to.

Ebook Review: Haunted Harley (31 Days of Trick or Treat: Bikers & Mobsters) by Morgan Jane Mitchell

 

Blurb: 

From USA Today Bestselling Author Morgan Jane Mitchell comes HAUNTED HARLEY
My name is Mary Shelly, and yes, I’ve always loved Halloween.
So when I move to Wicker Vale after a hell of a breakup and land a job doing makeup at the town’s famous haunted house, spending October surrounded by fake blood, screaming tourists, and things that go bump in the night feels like the perfect fresh start.
Then I meet Eric.
He’s shirtless, covered in blood, riding a Harley through the attraction, and chasing terrified customers with a chainsaw while the initials H.E. look freshly carved into his chest.
Turns out he’s playing Eric White, Wicker Vale’s most infamous ghost.
The real Eric was a Black Lantern biker murdered decades ago by his rival, Harley Easton, who carved his initials into Eric’s chest before vanishing without a trace. The murder was never solved, and locals still swear Eric’s ghost rides the back roads every October.
The man playing him certainly commits to the role.
He won’t give me his last name. He never seems to break character. And the more time I spend with him, the harder it becomes to tell where the legend ends and the man begins.
One midnight ride turns into something much hotter, and before I know it, my October fling starts feeling dangerously real.
Then Halloween ends.
And Eric disappears.
No explanation. No trace.
Only nightmares about a dead biker who seems very interested in me.
I thought I was falling for a man pretending to be Wicker Vale’s favorite ghost.
Now I’m starting to wonder if he was ever pretending at all.


🎃 It’s that time again, ghouls and rebels! 🎃
31 Days of Trick or Treat: Bikers & Mobsters 2026!

🖤 Thirty-one authors.
🧡 Thirty-one stories.
💀 One wickedly wild October 2026.
Starting October 1st, 2026, we’ll drop one book a day, alternating between the gritty Bikers you crave and the dangerous Mobsters you can’t resist.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

I really, really loved this story. There were steamy, humorous, and paranormal moments. The interactions between Mary (loved her name) and Eric were so much fun, honest, and very entertaining. Mary fell in love with Wicker Vale and Eric quickly, despite Eric's vague answers to some of her questions. He knew she was special immediately and did not want to hurt her, though he had hopes that she would help him. The ghostly parts were not truly scary, and by the end, they brought tears to my eyes.

I received an ARC, and this is my unsolicited review.



Audiobook Review: Suppression (Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team #2) by Laramie Briscoe, narrators Ariel Royce and Christopher Rourke

 

Blurb: 

From USA Today Bestselling author, the second book in the Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team Series

If you don't love, you can't get hurt...

Nick Kepler

One thing my childhood taught me was never show my emotions. Don’t make memories. Don’t count on other people. Don’t hope for the best.

All that changed when I was adopted by Ryan and Whitney Kepler. Begrudgingly I let them into my life, along with my new sister and a best friend I would lay down my life for. But giving up my heart and accepting love in return from Kelsea Harrison? It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever tried to do. And the truth is? I’m not sure if I’m that strong.

Kelsea Harrison

From the very moment I met Nick Kepler I knew he would be the love of my life. Problem is I haven’t been able to convince him of that yet.

When our best friends get married, Nick and I spend a drunken night letting our walls down and losing all our inhibitions. In one moment I’m given everything I ever wanted. Then, in the blink of an eye it’s taken away from me.

The question is, can I be strong for the both of us?

The answer? I have to be.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This story was very entertaining. There were fun moments, touching moments, painful moments, and steamy ones. Kelsea and Nick have known each other because of family and friends, but their true feelings were secret. Nick was so unwilling to see all those around him cared for him despite his past. That past gave him the understanding and sympathy for a young boy. Kelsea tried hard to keep her feelings for Nick a secret, but things did not stay that way. Friends and family cheered for them and assisted as they could.
The narration by Ariel Royce and Christopher Rourke was, once again, well done. They definitely brought the emotions alive, and I had tears by the end.

This is my unsolicited review.

INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS.

RESCUED FROM A BRUTAL CULT, SHE BELIEVED SHE HAD ESCAPED THE SHADOWS. BUT TEXAS HARBORS EVEN DARKER SECRETS.

Blake is a steely, enigmatic force, fiercely loyal to her one-eyed horse, Ira. As she navigates the patriarchal arena of cutting horse competitions, her steadfast devotion teeters on the brink of danger, unearthing a dark past she had long sought to bury.

Across the scorched Lone Star badlands, retired detective Sonny Harrell hunts the killers who murdered his father. His trail of blood and lies uncovers a ruthless syndicate that would flay you to the bone to guard its empire of corruption.

When Sonny's path collides with Blake's, she is swept into a vortex of violence. Outnumbered and outmatched, they must claw through the chaos-or vanish into oblivion.
