My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars. I enjoyed this thriller, second in the series. It started a bit mysterious, dragged a bit in the middle, and then the height of the trial held its surprises and had me staying up past my bedtime. Michael Fletcher had such bad luck and found himself in trouble again. This time, he had more people in his corner. The writing throughout the trial had me feeling his emotions, fear, and more, making it more real. My heart plummeted until the twist was revealed. I recommend reading The Lonely Prisoner first to experience the beginning of Michael's problems.

I received a copy through RABT Book Tours, and this is my unsolicited review.

Blurb:

She needs a Dom.
A stalker wants to own her.

And once you’re in it, the LifeStyle never lets go.

 

On the outskirts of Philadelphia, the LifeStyle Club caters to those with certain… tastes.

Grayson is a born Dominant – and owning LifeS is exactly where he belongs. With a new underground fight arena ready to launch, he’s missing only one thing: a fighter strong enough to survive it.

Lexi has survived worse.

Haunted by PTSD, Lexi trusts no one but herself. She runs her own gym, makes her own rules, and refuses to submit – to anyone. But beneath her iron control lies a perilous secret. One that threatens to consume her… unless she can find a Dom.

When Grayson and Lexi collide, desire isn’t the only thing at stake.

Someone is watching.
Someone wants Lexi.
And in the LifeStyle, submission can be salvation – or a deadly mistake.

Welcome to the LifeStyle.

Excerpt: 

“Hello?”

 

“Hey, Lexi, it’s Marsh.” 

“Marshall? Hi, how are you?” 

Grayson’s hands tightened on her waist, but she tried to ignore it. As if ignoring anything about Grayson was possible. While she was on his lap. And he was… was he petting her? 

“I’m good, I just got a call from a coworker. I asked him to keep tabs on your file, and I wanted to let you know we have an update about the situation at your gym.”

 

Situation? She could barely recall that she’d seen Marshall earlier that day, or what situation he could possibly be talking about other than the one currently between her legs. 

“Hang up,” Grayson whispered in her free ear. 

“Gotta go, sorry, talk soon!” she shouted into the phone before slamming the receiver down. She leaned back against Grayson, and his touches eased into long, sweeping caresses. Still feeling little licks of the fire he’d stoked, her body settled somewhat back into relaxation. 

“What did he want?” Grayson asked. 

“Who?” She felt his smile before he spoke, the amusement rich in his voice. 

“Marshall. That was the cop, right?” 

“Oh. Yeah. He wants to talk about stuff. New stuff, he said.” 

Grayson’s hands came to rest on top of her wrists. She looked at her hands, so small inside of his. His fingers wrapped around her wrists, his fingers passing his thumb all the way around, and she felt another sliver of lust. 

“So you’re seeing him tomorrow?” Grayson asked, a different tone than amusement coloring his voice. 

“Mhm,” Lexi agreed. She flexed her hands inside of his. She had no idea that she could feel this relaxed; this comfortable, while being held down in any way. 

“When?” 

“After classes.” 

“He’s coming here?” That same sharp edge was in his voice. 

“Ahm…” What the hell did Marshall say? “Yeah. We’re going somewhere, maybe.” Her head rested on his chest, and silence reigned while her breathing deepened.

“And in what universe, Alessandra, do you think it’s alright with me for you to see another man?” 

Wait. What the fuck? Lexi blinked her eyes open, when had she closed them?, and sat up.

 

“What?” Lexi asked. She flexed her hands again, this time with a twist to shake off his hands. He held her easily. 

“What the fuck?” she asked. “Let me go.” 

“Not until you answer my question.” 

"Are you sure you won't let me go?" 

In response, he tightened his hold. In reply, Grayson tightened his grip on her wrists and pulled her arms out to her sides. The position gave her no leverage from her arms. Lexi didn’t need it. 

In one move she kicked off the desk, and threw her head backwards. The back of her head collided with Grayson’s face, the momentum upended the chair, and Lexi made sure to put all her weight behind the elbow she dug into his ribs on the way down. 

Adrenaline crashed through her; a riot with no cops. Lexi stood and put the desk between them. She timed her breathing to the whirring of the fan. Inleft-left-left, outright-right-right. 

“What the fuck, Alessandra?” Grayson asked from the floor. 

She jerked her shoulder. 

“I told you to let me go.” 

“So you headbutt me, flip us off a chair, and try to break my ribs?” Grayson knelt, and swiped at the thin trickle of blood coming from one nostril. 

Lexi didn’t have a response. Pretty much. 

“Aren’t you the one who said that Doms aren’t supposed to be bullies?” 

Using the desk to help him stand, Grayson righted the chair before sitting back into it heavily. 

“I wasn’t being a bully. I’m being your Dom. We agreed that you wouldn’t date.” His voice was nasally. 

“Actually,” she corrected, “we agreed that I would keep my dating life out of the club.” 

He swiped a tissue from a box on her desk and held it to his nose. She rocked back on her heels, unsure what her next move was. Should she get him an ice pack? Kick him out? Or sit back on his lap?

Falling for a man who’s forcing me to marry him makes me sound weak. And in our world, the last thing a woman wants is to feel weak.

Brielle

Kane Morgan was never supposed to be anything more than one reckless night.

Turns out, he’s the enemy, and he knew exactly who I was when he was making me forget my name—while screaming his.

Now, Kane wants more than just revenge on my family. He wants me as his wife.

After a lifetime of heartache, all I want is to marry for love.

But Kane’s ripping that dream away, forcing me into a marriage of revenge.

He’s cold, ruthless, and calculating, and yet he’s everything I can’t seem to resist.

Because when we’re alone, he shows me a different side of him.

I hate that he comforts me when my past creeps into my nightmares. That he believes in my dreams. And most of all, that every stolen moment with him feels like it could put my broken pieces back together.

I shouldn’t be falling for my new husband. He gives me everything I’ve ever wanted … except the one thing I long for—his heart.

Audiobook Release: Hit the Ground (The Kelly Ranch #3)by Julia Wolf, narrators Emma Wilder and Sean Masters

Hit The Ground by Julia Wolf is now live in audio!

Narrated by: Emma Wilder & Sean Masters

Caleb Kelly has been my secret weakness since the day I moved to Sugar Brush, Wyoming.

I spend my days among the stacks as the town’s librarian and my nights serving drinks at Joy’s Elbow Room. It’s safe, predictable, and a little boring. The only thing that makes my pulse kick is when Caleb Kelly walks through the door and takes a seat at one of my tables.

Four years of stolen glances, watching him laugh with his family, listening to him talk about his son, and pretending he doesn’t unravel me just by saying my name. Alice.

Then one reckless night, I steal a kiss. And for one perfect, heart-stopping second, he kisses me back.

But the thing is, Caleb doesn’t date. He has his son, his ranch, and no room for anything—or anyone—else.

So I finally stop waiting, stop hoping, stop hiding. It’s way past time to begin living my life on my own terms.

Just as I start to move forward, trouble knocks me back. And when I need someone the most, Caleb is the one by my side again and again, standing between me and the worst of it. His steady, fierce presence is impossible to ignore.

I should know better than to keep falling for a man who told me he can’t give me more. I should walk away before I get hurt again.

It’s just that every time he shows up, every time he really sees me, every time he stays, my heart refuses to listen.

But letting him in might be the one thing I can’t come back from.

Audiobook Review: Charming a Cursed Highlander (Highlander Shifters #2) by Vonda Sinclair, narrator Dave Gillies

 

Blurb: 

The myth and magic of the Scottish Highlands comes to life in this fun, historical, fantasy, paranormal romance.

A Determined Lass...

Since Catriona MacCain was a young girl, she has been in love with Torr MacElrath, but he doesn't seem to realize she exists. His recently acquired curse of shapeshifting into a kelpie, or water horse, at night doesn't deter her. Brodie, her older brother and the MacCain chief, is also entangled in the curse. He has abandoned the clan, and in his absence, their mother negotiates a marriage alliance for Cat with the cruel Chief MacPeter in exchange for his protection. After rejecting the atrocious marriage plans and learning what will destroy the curse, Cat runs away to find Torr and gain his help.

A Cursed Highlander...

Torr, trapped by the curse, hates his dark and lonely existence. With her ginger hair and sunny enthusiasm, Cat bursts into his life like a fiery explosion. He remembers her as a wee lass and can hardly believe the beautiful, tempting young woman Cat has grown into at age twenty. He wants to help her escape marriage to a vicious beast, but how will he resist her, especially when she's determined to captivate him and shatter his curse? Falling for her would surely destroy his friendship with Brodie and bring destruction upon their clans.

The previous year...

Lady Wilona MacRae has been honing her malicious witchery skills for years. When three friends—Gavin MacTavish, Torr MacElrath, and Brodie MacCain fight in a battle in which her son is killed, she accuses them of murder and condemns them to live under a curse for the rest of their lives. Against their will, they transform into beasts daily.
Gavin's story: Dreaming of a Devilish Highlander
Torr's story: Charming a Cursed Highlander
Brodie's story: (coming soon)

A magical, opposites attract, grumpy-sunshine fairytale romance novel with shifters, a witch, a sorcerer, Scottish legends, steaminess, adventure, madness, and mayhem.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This was an interesting tale, full of magic, curses, loyalty, and love. Catriona wanted to help end the curse after reading a note for her brother, one of the cursed. This took her to Torr, the other cursed, who she cared about for a long time. I loved how easily she accepted Torr's Kelpie and went with her feelings. A little trickery moved their relationship faster, and it was amusing that she did not realize at first when it wasn't the potion. Torr tried to resist the attraction as he did not know he could be released from the curse. He was so careful with Catriona and gave into his impulses. Great story.
Dave Gillies brought the characters to life with his wonderful narration. He put emotion into the story, making it that much more enjoyable.

This is my unsolicited review.

Release: Red's Enemy Cowboy (Cowboys of Sunrise Ridge #2) by Niki J. Mitchell

 

Red's Enemy Cowboy

Cowboys of Sunrise Ridge, Book 2

by Niki J. Mitchell 

Contemporary Western Romance, Small Town Romance

Date Published: January 29, 2026

When enemies are forced to play nice, sparks fly—and nothing’s safe, not even their hearts.

She’s stubborn. He’s infuriating. And neither of them has ever backed down from a challenge.

Now they’ve got to team up—or tear the whole town apart trying.

Autumn Hood spent her whole life tangling with Pete Wolfe.

Her neighbor, her childhood rival, and her personal headache in scuffed-up boots and a cocky grin.

Pete Wolfe finds Autumn Hood stubborn, sharp-tongued, and always three seconds away from hurling a horseshoe at his head. But there’s something about the way she challenges him that attracts him to the cowgirl next door.

And the longer they butt heads, the more the tension sizzles into something they can’t ignore. Something’s starting to change between them. Something special. Something risky.

Love wasn't part of the plan… but trouble sure is.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This was an interesting way to teach about potty training. I liked the idea of talking to the child in a plain and fun way. It would teach them to pay attention to their bodies. The illustrations were bright and colorful, though I would have preferred a more pencil-draw ones. Despite that, anyone potty training may benefit from this story.
