I literally love this author and I am honoured to be on her review team. This book is a different step for the author but still filled with the great humour I’ve come to expect!

Title: Lies

Author: Kylie Scott

Betty Dawsey knows that breaking things off with Thom Lange is for the best. He’s nice, but boring, and their relationship has lost its spark. But steady and predictable Thom, suddenly doesn’t seem so steady and predictable when their condo explodes and she’s kidnapped by a couple of crazies claiming that Thom isn’t who he says he is.

Thom is having a hellish week. Not only is he hunting a double agent, but his fiancé dumped him, and thanks to his undercover life, she’s been kidnapped.

Turns out Thom is Operative Thom and he’s got more than a few secrets to share with Betty if he’s going to keep her alive. With both their lives on the line, their lackluster connection is suddenly replaced by an intense one. But in his line of work, feelings aren’t wanted or desired. Because feelings can be a lethal distraction.

‘It turns out that being in a relationship with the wrong person can be even lonelier.’

Welcome to The Weekly Epilogue!

Hope you all had a good week?

I’M GOING ON HOLIDAY TOMORROW!

I cannot wait, swimming, fun, excitement and just a different setting (unforts no rest as I have kids!)

You will have to forgive me for my short update this week but I’m on day 3 of a horrible migraine which I am hoping goes before tomorrow as I’m the driver!

Also forgive me if I’m not that active this week as there is no wifi or signal where we are going so I’ll need to catch up when I get back! Have a great week everyone!

K to O

Kill Switch by Penelope Douglas

Oh shut the front door, I didnt think any other book in this series could get better than Corrupt (I love you Michael!)…BUT IT DID!

Lessons in Corruption by Giana Darling

This was my first book by this author and it blew me away. Teacher/student…and he is in an MC, does it get better than that?! No it does not!

Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley

Oh Tack, how I love thee. You opened my eyes to the amazing-ness that is Chaos and since then I’ve been addicted!

Nero by Sarah Brianne

Mafia at its finest. Need I say more?!

Only Work, No Play by Cora Reilly

This book proved to me that this author can write ANYTHING! Xavier ‘The Beast’ Stevens is THE man!

Have you read any of these?

I bought this book on a whim when it was on sale…and I am so glad I did!

What a great read!

Title: An Ember in the Ashes

Series: An Ember in the Ashes #1

Author: Sabaa Tahir

Laia is a slave. Elias is a soldier. Neither is free.

Under the Martial Empire, defiance is met with death. Those who do not vow their blood and bodies to the Emperor risk the execution of their loved ones and the destruction of all they hold dear.

It is in this brutal world, inspired by ancient Rome, that Laia lives with her grandparents and older brother. The family ekes out an existence in the Empire’s impoverished backstreets. They do not challenge the Empire. They’ve seen what happens to those who do.

But when Laia’s brother is arrested for treason, Laia is forced to make a decision. In exchange for help from rebels who promise to rescue her brother, she will risk her life to spy for them from within the Empire’s greatest military academy.

There, Laia meets Elias, the school’s finest soldier—and secretly, its most unwilling. Elias wants only to be free of the tyranny he’s being trained to enforce. He and Laia will soon realize that their destinies are intertwined—and that their choices will change the fate of the Empire itself.

‘Life is made of so many moments that mean nothing. Then one day, a single moment comes along to define every second that comes after.’

And that’s what happens to Laia and Elias……

Laia, a Scholar whose race is enslaved by the Empire and Elias, a Mask with the best of bloodlines. Both have defining moments that change the course of their lives forever.

This was a dark, gritty page turner full of intrigue, action and some of the best characters I’ve read in ages!

Welcome to The Weekly Epilogue!

Hope you all had a good week?

The sun is out in force and I’m having issues with #boobsweat 😂

Cruel Intentions by Siobhan Davis

Fear Me by BB Reid

One of the ULTIMATE bully romances. The anti hero of anti heroes! So, so good!

Golden Dynasty by Kristen Ashley

Dax Lahn. Say no more!

(I could actually say more, lots more, but I will ramble, there will be declarations of love…..and dribble!)

Hendrix by MJ Fields and Chelsea Camaron

I so enjoyed this series. The undies….consent is f***ing required! The whole series was just like reading a dream!

It Ain’t Me Babe by Tillie Cole

The start to one of the best dark, gritty MC romances out there. A feared Prez who is haunted by a crushing speech impediment and a girl raised by a cult.

What a total scream this book was. I want to be Hazel! If you haven’t read, you really need to!
