The Price of Mercy - Misti Wilds
This book picks up right where Begging for Mercy left off, diving straight back into the story without losing momentum. Their journey is tragic at times, but it’s also filled with some of their strongest, most emotional moments. Mercy grows from feeling alone to finally allowing herself to be fully present with the men, and that shift felt natural and meaningful. Her relationship with each of them evolves in exactly the way it needs to. Zane’s arc, especially, was my favorit

Fire Meets The Fury - L Swiss Methios
What pulled me into this book from the very beginning was the role reversal: Nina is the obsessive, possessive one, and she uses her brother’s power to take the man she loves, Roheen. With their influence, Nina forces Roheen into marriage and keeps him confined in their home, completely upending the usual dynamic in dark romance. This story doesn’t take place over a few months or even a year. It spans nearly twenty years, and that long timeline is essential. If this book had

Coz' I Love You - Arthur Vale
This story brought so much emotion that I ended up reading the entire thing in one morning. It’s written in third-person POV, but in a way that feels like a storyteller sharing something deeply personal. That narrative style pulled me in more than I expected and made every moment feel intimate. Aria moves to Chicago at the start of the book, and it’s where she meets Caleb and Dominic — two men who couldn’t be more different, yet are both drawn to her for their own reasons. Ca

Her Reluctant Protector - Nicole Wiles
Anytime a protector falls, it’s instantly swoon-worthy — and Damian is no exception. The story jumps straight into the action and never loses momentum, balancing danger with a genuine emotional core. Watching a tough man not only protect a woman but care deeply for her son is incredibly endearing. Their relationship feels earned, full of unspoken trust and small moments of comfort that make the heavier scenes hit even harder. I appreciated that both characters bring something

Savage Love - Dani Da Silva
After reading the blurb, I knew this story sounded unique — and it absolutely was. This book is different in the best possible way. The concept is so original, at least unlike anything I’ve ever read, that I was hooked immediately. The journey these two main characters take is wild, intense, and completely consuming. Even though it ends on a cliffhanger, everything they endure along the way is indescribable and worth every page. Cairo is inexperienced, but she isn’t naive or

Bossy Wicked Prince - Lena Hunt
It took me no time at all to devour this book. Cat has such a heart of gold — she’s always trying to do the best for others. She doesn’t like having more than anyone else and constantly looks for ways to share with those less fortunate. Her kindness makes her impossible not to love. Nate, on the other hand, is pure swoon material. The way he looks out for Cat’s safety is both protective and endearing. Some might see it as a red flag, but the intensity of his need to keep her

Corrupt Vow - Eva Ashwood
The Filthy Wicked Psychos series is incredible, but this third book takes the cake for me. I thought I knew what to expect after the first two, but everything in Corrupt Vow got darker, deeper, and more emotional than I could’ve imagined. The dynamic between Willow and her three men, Malice, Ransom, and Victor, has always been chaotic and consuming, but this book shifts the emotional balance in the best way. Malice is the angry one of the group, the most dangerous, but with

Behind the Shadows - J. A. Owenby
When I found out the Shadows series was continuing with Kip, I was so excited — but even then, I wasn’t prepared for everything this book threw at me. It blends danger, passion, and chaos in a way that feels fresh while staying true to the Shadows world. I thought Death’s backstory was wild, but Kip’s takes it to another level. Every time a new piece was revealed, my jaw dropped a little lower. The pain he carries and the way it fuels his obsession make him absolutely magne

Burn For You - J.T. Geissinger
Watching Bianca and Jackson fight the pull between them was something else. From the very first moment they met, the air between them practically crackled but there is such a slow burn that’s equal parts tender, infuriating, and utterly addictive. Bianca is a total firecracker. Her southern sayings had me laughing out loud, and her sass mixed with heart makes her impossible not to love. She’s bold, fierce, and refuses to let life—or Jackson—intimidate her. Jackson, on the oth

Watch Me Break - V.E. Huntley
This book was everything. I was completely enamored by Damien — he portrays himself as cold and detached at times, but underneath he has a big heart. I loved that Luna stood strong on her own. Her character has depth, and her pull toward the darkness felt believable and beautifully written. One of my favorite parts (because it was a big bond between them) was how both Damien and Luna care deeply about animals. It added such an unexpected, tender side to their dark world. I co

Phantom - H.D. Carlton
Books set in the past sometimes give me pause, so seeing this one start in 1944 almost made me turn away — but I’m so glad I didn’t. From the first chapter, I immediately felt for Gigi. She’s a miserable housewife, stuck in the same dull routine with a husband who seems far more interested in his liquor than in her. When a mysterious man begins watching her, it sparks something new — something dangerous and thrilling. Watching Ronaldo slowly creep into Gigi’s life was the slo

Gray Vengeance - B.K. Thorne
Zee’s journey pulled me in from the very first page. I loved that she truly does the work — she goes to therapy, faces her struggles head-on, and chooses growth instead of avoidance. It made it so easy to root for her happiness like a proud cheerleader on the sidelines. Atticus is complex in the best way. He feels an instinctive need to protect Zee, and every time he showed up for her, my pulse quickened. His desire for her is undeniable, but his patience and willingness to g

Claimed by the Blue Collar Millionaires - Adelaide Brook
Elena is a woman who’s left behind her privileged life in search of something real – her own place in the world. Thanks to her best friend, she meets Cole, Lucas, and Drew, and from there, everything changes. The tension builds slowly but beautifully, each relationship unfolding in its own way. And each man brings something entirely unique to her life. Cole is her best friend’s father — an actual Daddy in every sense. He makes Elena feel safe, yet the spark between them is

The Darkest Temptation - Danielle Lori
It’s clear that Mila has lived both a good and a sheltered life — privileged in many ways, but also lonely without her father around. Her decision to go to Russia to learn about her past completely makes sense, even though she knows her father and bodyguard would never approve. Once there, she meets Ronan, who quickly realizes who she really is. After some intense turns of fate, she ends up as his “guest” — though that’s putting it lightly. The longer she’s with him, the more

Corrupt - Penelope Douglas
I felt like this book just kept going — in the best possible way. Every time I thought the story was wrapping up, another twist or layer pulled me right back in. The plot was intense, the suspense addictive, and I genuinely didn’t want to put it down. I absolutely loved Rika. She never tapped out — she leaned into every challenge, faced the chaos head-on, and still knew when to stand her ground. Michael’s inner conflict was written so well. The way he battled between wanting

Insatiable - Leigh Rivers
I knew this was the first book in a trilogy, so I was prepared for a cliffhanger — but I was not prepared for what this story would put me through. Kade is consumed by darkness and surrounded by violence, yet I loved every second of him. The more you learn about him, the more your heart aches. He became this version of himself out of survival, not choice, and that makes his pain hit even harder. Stacey’s life has never been easy, but her past with Kade was the one thing that

God of Malice - Rina Kent
Killian is my favorite kind of morally gray man — brilliant, ruthless, and utterly magnetic. Watching him fixate on Glyndon is fascinating; he’s chaos wrapped in control, and every move he makes pulls you in deeper. Glyndon is a broken soul, trying to make sense of loss and guilt she’s never truly let go of. Killian sees straight through her façade, and that raw recognition paves the way for a connection that feels both dangerous and inevitable. Every scene between them kept

Her Darkest Possession - Brook Wilder
I loved watching Indigo grow stronger with every chapter. Her transformation isn’t just about surviving; it’s about reclaiming her power and finding her voice. The way her relationship with Anatoly develops absolutely captivated me — it radiates power, love, and intensity. It’s not just him protecting her; it’s them protecting each other. And then the spice hits — and wow, it hits. The scenes are intense, detailed, and full of emotion, perfectly heightening everything that’s

His Darkest Obsession - Brook Wilder
Indigo keeps herself so guarded, and I genuinely admire her for it. She’s been through enough to know what she won’t allow again, both for herself and for her sister. Even with her walls up, you can feel the emotion simmering beneath the surface — and watching her finally let herself fall was beautiful. Anatoly’s need to protect Indigo and give her justice made me melt. At first, he doesn’t even understand why he feels so drawn to her, but his determination to make things rig
