ARC Review - Jinx, You're It (Trouble For Hire #3) by Cynthia Eden!

 Jinx, You're It (Trouble For Hire #3)


BLURB:

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Cynthia Eden brings a red-hot tale of second chance romance between two unlikely lovers.

Life is too short not to have one hell of a good time.

Jinx lives for his good times. With a ready smile and quick joke, his charm carries him through most rough situations. And when his grin doesn’t work, he just uses the down and dirty skills he acquired working Special Forces to get the job done. Life is easy, his luck is perfect, and nothing will slow him down. Except maybe…her.

It was a one-night stand she should forget.

Allison “Ali” Carter does not have time for handsome playboys—not even the ones with killer blue eyes and abs that last for days. Sure, she might have given in just one time and let her desire for Jinx take over, but she is not about to repeat that mistake, no matter how great the night was. She’s down on the Gulf Coast for a week of sun and relaxation. Jinx isn’t part of the plan.

Until he is the only plan.

Trouble has followed Ali down to the coast. On her last classified mission, she acquired a most dangerous stalker. The kind of guy that you can’t ditch, no matter how hard you try. The kind of guy who can scare a woman to death. And to help Ali deal with him? A most unlikely hero offers up his services.

He wants his second chance.

When Ali walked away from Jinx, it shouldn’t have hurt. He should have forgotten her and moved on. But since that fateful night, she’s been in his head. Been tormenting his dreams. So when she appears in his PI office and she’s in danger? Jinx immediately leaps into action. He’ll show Ali that he’s more than just a fast grin. This time, it’s not about being lucky. This time, it’s about protecting Ali and maybe, just maybe…winning her heart.

Author’s Note: Jinx is about to get lucky. He’s getting a second chance with the woman who slipped through his fingers, and he isn’t about to let her vanish again. Ali thinks he doesn’t take life seriously, and she may just be right. But, when it comes to Ali’s safety, Jinx will go all in to prove that he’s the man she needs. Danger doesn’t scare him. Behind his grin, he’s ice cold and willing to do whatever it takes to protect the one woman who slipped past his guard. Action, romance, danger, and fun are waiting in JINX, YOU’RE IT. (Stand-alone read, guaranteed happy ending!)


MY REVIEW:

Jinx, You're It was a stupendously fun, sexy, suspenseful good time with one HOT hero who was full of surprises and a heroine who is pretty freaking awesome too! 

I have been waiting for Jinx since he was introduced in this series and I am ecstatic to say, his story did NOT disappoint! Sexy, fun, protective and hiding some jaw dropping secrets, he is definitely one of my favorite book boyfriends in this series. I loved how he could be serious when it was necessary but I absolutely LOVED MORE that he knew how to have fun, even when on dangerous jobs. Ali was really freaking cool too. She has her own secrets and hidden depths that I really liked about her. Her dedication to keeping Jinx safe too was amazing and she was pretty bad ass as well. She was so smart and kind and just had a beautiful soul to go along with her outer beauty. She really fit Jinx and the chemistry between them was definitely off the charts! I was beyond happy with this book and I can't wait for the next one! These Trouble For Hire stories are absolute GOLD!

Jinx, You're It gets a FIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER STARS from me! And just in case you didn't get it, I VERY MUCH LOOOOOOOOOOVED THIS BOOK!

Loner by Jamie Schlosser Release with ARC Review!


Title: Loner
Series: A Good Guys Novel (standalone)
Author: Jamie Schlosser
Genre: New Adult/Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 12, 2021




ROSALIE

I’ve been a prisoner in my own home for as long as I can remember. My mother says I’m sick in the head, and that’s why I can’t leave. And maybe she’s right.
But that doesn’t stop me from watching our new groundskeeper from my window and wanting things I shouldn’t. Like his hands on my body. His lips on my skin. Just him and me, running free in the world.
All I want is a normal life, but it’s a fantasy. Insanity.
Because no one would want a crazy girl like me.

PRESTON

I broke the cardinal rule of the private investigator business—I fell for my client’s daughter. When I agreed to go undercover to get Rosalie out of her house, I had every intention of bringing her to her father. After all, it’s what he hired me to do.
But Rosalie’s life is a tangled web of mystery, tragedy, and lies. Her loneliness calls to mine, tempting me with a chance at redemption I never thought I’d have. I refuse to deliver her from one hell to another.
Even if it means risking my life.

MY REVIEW:

Loner is a fairy tale retelling dream come true for me in full good guy series fashion!

Loner was a sweet, amusing, sexy and sincerely heart stopping irresistible romance that makes this final book in one of my all time favorite series one of the best endings ever! I am sad that this series is ending but exceedingly satisfied with this final book. Preston and Rosalie made me smile so much and I enjoyed this version of Rapunzel more than I ever imagined I would. This story really did give me the warm and fuzzies and I didn't for a moment want to stop reading it. Yet, I forced myself to take my time. And really, I think that was the best thing because I really savored this. I made it last as long as I could and now that I read it, I am looking VERY MUCH forward to doing a re-read of the whole Good Guy series. But before I do that, let me tell you all that you will SWOON, fall head over heels HARD for Preston. And Rosalie will make you laugh and smile and dream big dreams. These two have a sweet connection that I adored very much and there were moments of pure bliss, excitement and sweet and sexy romance that made this book the best thing I have read all year. I really can't say enough great things about Loner, I honestly can't!

LONER GETS A SWOON WORTHY, WILL-MELT-YOUR-HEART-LIKE-CHOCOLATE-ON-A-HOT-SIDEWALK FIVE DELECTABLE HAPPILY EVER AFTER STARS!!

PROLOGUE

She was just supposed to be a job I turned down.

I’ve been picky about my clients before, and when I was approached by a man with ties to the mafia in search of his daughter, my immediate answer was no. His personal private investigator had recently died under mysterious circumstances, and I didn’t want to meet the same fate.

Then I saw Rosalie’s picture.

I should’ve walked away.

I didn’t.




Jamie Schlosser writes steamy new adult romance and romantic comedy. When she isn't creating perfect book boyfriends, she's a stay-at-home mom to her two wonderful kids. She believes reading is a great escape, otters are the best animal, and nothing is more satisfying than a happily-ever-after ending.

BLURB:
I thought I made a deal with the devil. Turns out he’s a fallen angel. Very fallen.

Not only is Dominick Vicario tall, dark, and wickedly attractive, he’s also the head of the world’s most powerful underworld family. And the leader of the Fallen—former heavenly Watchers banished to earth who’ve become wealthy playboys.

When I meet him, my life is circling the drain. My job is going nowhere, my boyfriend is a jerk, and I’m in debt up to my eyeballs.

So, when the dangerously seductive mafia don offers me a deal that will solve all my problems, I take it. All I have to do is spend the rest of the summer with the mysterious billionaire. A couple of months jet-setting on private planes and yachts isn’t too high a price to pay, right?

But Dominick believes I’m destined to be his mate—and the key to all the fallen angels being restored to their rightful place in the celestial order.

And it doesn’t matter if I think he’s crazy. He’s convinced I’m his for eternity. And so are the demons chasing us.

Can I escape from his immortal curse? Or will his dark past come back to haunt us both?

Mark of the Fallen is a devilishly steamy, fated mates paranormal romance with a mafia twist. This is book 1 in the Dark Fallen Angels trilogy, it’s a full-length novel, and it ends on a cliffhanger.


MY REVIEW:

A devastatingly addictive, sizzling PNR that I devoured in just a couple short days because nothing could slow me down on reading this!

Mark Of The Fallen was SO GOOD! When I seen this pop up on my news feed a few weeks ago, I KNEW this was going to be an excellent read and wow, was I ever right. Sexy, intriguing, edge-of-your-seat-and-bite-your-lip-till-it-bleeds exciting, this PNR was everything I had imagined....maybe even more so. The characters and storyline drew me in and kept me fascinated and entertained right from the very start. I loved the action, suspense and the hot and steamy scenes. There were moments I didn't think I was even breathing because it was overwhelmingly good. I can't wait to see what else this author has next!

Mark Of The Fallen gets a ADDICTIVE FIVE STEAMY STARS!
