MATEO book 2 Unseen Underground by Abigail Davies ......Review by Dawn


My entire life had been unpredictable. But in the chaos, I’d found moments of solace. 


I was sixteen when I dropped out of high school to take care of my baby brother. A couple of months later I became a soldier in the Beretta Mafia. And I’d finally found the one place that felt like home—a family.

No two days were the same when your boss ran a criminal organization, yet it still hadn’t prepared me for her...


Luna.

The girl with soulful eyes. 

The girl with lips that begged for my touch.

She hadn’t been part of my plan, but now it was impossible to get away from her.

My plate was full. I was on track to get us away from the mayhem at home. And I couldn’t let anything veer me off that.

If only it was that easy.

Luna had made a mistake. She’d tried to do the right thing. Only she had no idea the darkness she would face as she stepped into Lorenzo Beretta’s office as the enemy.

I was her only way out.

Her get-out-of-jail-free card.

But should I risk it all for her? Or let her face the consequences alone.




Review

What a flipping ride.

First, I had no idea this was book 2, which is my own fault for some reason I thought this was book 1. I love Mateo and I am going on a reading bender of Abigail Davies!
Mateo is responsible for his much younger siblings and his addicted Mom. He sees a way out and takes it knowing the road it leads could be dangerous. To better his and his sibling's lives it's a risk he is willing to take. This is when Luna comes into the picture and rocks his world.
Luna is the product of addicted parents and the constant disappointment they bring to her life. The connection she finds with Cardo and Chiara is what leads to meeting Mateo. She comes to his rescue one night and he returns the favor by saving her life.
I am in!!!

Pen Pal by J.T. Geissinger .....Review by Dawn

 

The first letter arrived the day my husband was buried. It was postmarked from the state penitentiary, and contained a single sentence:
I’ll wait forever if I have to.
It was signed by Dante, a man I didn’t know.
Out of simple curiosity, I wrote back to ask him what exactly he was waiting for. His reply?
You.
I told the mystery man he had the wrong girl. He said he didn’t. I said we’d never met, but he said I was wrong.
We went back and forth, exchanging letters every week that grew increasingly more intimate. Then one day, the letters stopped.
When I found out why it was already too late.
Dante was at my doorstep.
And nothing on earth could have prepared me for what happened next.



Review 

Ooh my goodness where to begin? In typical Geissing fashion, this is full of twists and turns and emotional torment. This is an erotic thriller/paranormal thriller with a load of spice. I was under the impression when I signed up for the ARC this was dark romance, it is but the paranormal side takes over. I am not mad about it and it kept me interested the entire time. I am not one who would necessarily gravitate towards PR but I am glad I stuck with it.

Kayla and Aidan's relationship begins when she hires him to fix her leaking roof and do some home repairs. He is brash and moody and Kayla is in no way prepared for his presence but she can not deny that she is intrigued with the man. 
It escalates quickly and Aidan makes his intentions known and has zero problems with the uncomfortableness Kayla feels. 
I was so torn because I was feeling "YOUR HUSBAND JUST DIED" to "GIRL, CLIMB THAT MAN!" As I went further into the story I started to figure it out, there are Easter eggs throughout the story. 
I really want to leave it there because I am not going to ruin it for you. I will say if this was presented to me as PR I would have probably would have passed BUT I am so glad that I didn't.

New Pre Order COVER REVEAL By AL Jackson and GIVEAWAY

NEVER LOOK BACK COVER REVEAL




Coming August 29, 2022

Cover Designer: RBA Designs

Photographer: Wander Aguiar Photography

From NYT and USA Today bestselling author A.L. Jackson comes an enemies-to-lovers,

close-proximity, second-chance romance…


Logan Lawson won me in a bet.

The second I saw him sitting at the illegal card table, I knew I was in trouble.

Years ago, he sealed my fate and condemned me to a life I didn’t want to lead.

Yet he’s filled with untamed fury and thirsting for vengeance against the husband I hate.


Aster Costa is everything I never should have wanted.

The second she showed with her pompous, prick of a husband, I should have gotten up and

walked.

But there’s no looking away from the woman who wrecked me.

Worse, I can’t stop myself from plotting to get her back.


I want nothing more than to be free of my husband.

I’m afraid Logan Lawson is the only one who can make that happen.

He might hate me for our past, but now it’s me on my knees begging for help.


Finding each other in the middle of it wasn’t supposed to be part of the bargain.

But once Logan touches me, I’m gone.

A torch is rekindled. A fire is lit.


Aster Costa has always been mine.

And this time, no matter the cost, I won’t give her back…
