Lexa Kozlov must pay her family’s massive debt to the mob… all while raising even more money to save her little sister. The result? Lexa’s trapped in a never-ending (and incredibly illegal) stakeout for the Bratva. She barely has time for sleep, let alone find love.

Enter Caelin Vass, the handsome Scotsman who runs Empire Investments. Caelin offers Lexa a new job with dollars galore, as well as a hot bod (that would be his own) to contemplate every workday. Even so, Lexa isn’t sure she should take the gig. Freaky things keep happening whenever Lexa and Caelin are together. Simply put, the energy between them is magical, sensual, and way overwhelming. Lexa faces a big question: is she leaving her old prison just to enter a worse one… or is Caelin Vass all he seems and more?

***12,000 word novella, previously published on Kindle Vella as Blood Slave***

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . VIOLINES AND VAMPIRES (Vampires of the Daemonverse, #1) . . . I loved this when it was a mini serial on Kindle Vella (Blood Slave). Now, it is more. There is more to explore and imagine. This time around it is also a quick read but it has so much to revisit and to discover. There was some of Caelin's life before. The fiery connection between Caelin and Lexa. I am certainly looking forward to how CEE BEE bring Caelin and Lexa to the main stream. This was just part one. There is more in store for this couple.  

Lexa Uznetsov she loved her sister very much. (sidenote: I did not like her mother at all.) She was willing to almost anything to make sure she had what she needed. Caelin MacGregor was mysterious, sexy, and oh my. There was something more there between them. It was alluring and seductive. Their first meeting was it really the first time?  I am waiting for more from Caelin and Lexa.. Where will this go? How far will it go? Will she be safe? Will Caelin be the answer or the questions?

If you read this on Kindle Vella, then you are going to enjoy it even more here. There are extras. The extras I loved. The history. The richness. The will it happen. How? When? Caelin is so much more than he appears to be. Lexa is more also. Follow their journey.

READ-2-REVIEW - CONTEMPORARY - FOR THE LOVE OF WHISKEY (The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Redemption Ranch) by Melissa Foster

FOR THE LOVE OF WHISKEY

The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Redemption Ranch

by Melissa Foster

Releasing April 19th 2023

World Literary Press

BLURB
From New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster comes The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Redemption Ranch, a small-town, big-family series of standalone romance novels featuring fiercely loyal, insanely sexy bikers who give horses—and people—a second chance. Buckle up for a wild ride in Hope Valley, Colorado, as these big-hearted badasses and their sassy sisters wrangle in their forever loves. No cliffhangers, no cheating, and always a happily ever after.

Callahan “Cowboy” Whiskey is a natural-born protector, a Dark Knights biker, and a hell of a rancher. What happens when he falls for a woman who has no idea who she really is?

When Sullivan Tate escaped from a cult, leaving behind the only life she’d ever known, she thought she’d already endured the most difficult things she’d ever have to deal with. She knew she needed to figure out who she was, but she hadn’t expected to fall for overprotective and sexy-as-hell Callahan “Cowboy” Whiskey along the way. How can she give her heart to a man who has always known exactly who he is, when she’s only just begun figuring that out about herself?

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . FOR THE LOVE OF WHISKEY (The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Redemption Ranch, #3) . . . You will need to have a box of tissue handy and someone to hug at some point during or after the read. 

Sully and Cowboy come into each others lives at a pivotal point. Sully wants to stand on her own and make a way. Cowboy wants to be a protector to this woman he knows as the woman on the poster. This story had it all love, lies, tears, family, friends, confusion, protectiveness, and so much more. There was a lot about this story that would and could trigger your emotions both good and bad. I had to listen to the story twice to get my thoughts just right. I cried a lot. I teared up on the verge of crying. I love love love stories that can invoke an emotional response.

I will never understand the thoughts of those that feel they have a right to enslave those weaker than them. I have not understand of why parents would allow for someone to sexually abuse their female children in the name of religion. I will never have the concept of this being acceptable. But I have to say that I do understand this happens all over the world and even in my very own backyard.

This entire series has been emotional for me in some way or another. There are real life issues discussed and highlighted. Melissa Foster brings more to life than just romance, hot steamy sex. She makes you think. She allows for you to feel the world around you. She gives you a range of characters and their real lives. This gets me to come back again and again for each new story. And at times to go back and visit some of them again.

Aiden Snow and Meg Sylvan bring to life the characters that have become an emotional journey. You can feel it all in the voice depictions from each of them. Their voices lend to the turmoil of emotions of the various characters. I love this. This make the stories come to life even more so with the words that are written by the author.

Reasons I enjoyed this book:

Tear-jerker Tragic Great world building Realistic Wonderful characters Page-turner Entertaining Witty
