LEAVE ME BREATHLESS

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the This Man series comes a sexy and emotional follow up to her wildly popular standalone romance The Protector. 

Ryan Willis has spent years in the protection business, a job that requires constant vigilance and quick thinking. His only chance to truly relax is at his secluded cabin in a small town where there are never any surprises. So when Ryan returns after an assignment and encounters a beautiful stranger, he isn't only surprised, he's also instantly intrigued.

Hannah Bright is a breath of fresh air, and Ryan is soon completely consumed, unable to stop from falling for her. As the two grow closer, his instinct tells him something is amiss. Yet nothing could prepare him for what he discovers when he starts digging into her past.

Hannah spends her days painting, running her arts and crafts store...and hiding too many secrets. It's why she won't let the ruggedly handsome bodyguard get too close. But their chemistry is undeniable, and Hannah quickly finds herself caught up in a whirlwind romance with Ryan. He is peace personified, a balm to her battered soul. Yet the gorgeous, captivating man who has swept Hannah off her feet doesn't even know who she really is. And the moment he finds out, both their lives are at risk.

Release Date: November 5, 2019

Nikki’s review:

I’m fairly new to this authors writing, but I’m quickly become a huge fan! 

I absolutely LOVED the hero, Ryan, in this book. He was all kinds of alpha and uber protective, but he was also so tender and sweet. He was pretty damn amaze balls, in my opinion.

The heroine, Hannah, really impressed me. She took charge of her life to make it better, but she still had a vulnerable side that so many women who’ve been hurt can relate to. She’s kinda quirky in a fun and cute way. She can sometimes be awkward, but all that just makes her more “real” and likeable.

Neither one of the characters is looking for forever, but from the moment they hit the sheets, everything changes. Their emotions take over and it sometimes got messy. The way Ryan kept pulling Hannah back in when she tried to run was absolutely swoon worthy. I liked the way he made her really look at herself. 

The banter between Hannah and Ryan kept me giggling. Ryan’s 10-year-old daughter was hilarious and kept all the adults on their toes.

This book was sexy and emotional, with just the right amount of suspense. I think I’ll be checking out this authors backlist!

GENTLEMAN SINNER

Gentleman Sinner by Jodi Ellen Malpas

Release Date: February 5th

Gentleman Sinner, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by #1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Ellen Malpas.

Izzy White knows of the darkness in this world. After all, she escaped it long ago. Determined not to let her past beat her, Izzy has a secure, stable life with a job she loves in nursing. But one act of kindness will completely upend everything she's so carefully built-putting her right back in the crosshairs of danger she's been so desperate to avoid.

When Theo Kane shows up like a knight in shining armor, Izzy can't help thinking she's been saved from one threat and exposed to another. His imposing physique, the harsh lines of his face, and the wariness of everyone who comes close are just a few clues to Theo Kane's notorious reputation. The man is positively terrifying. But with Izzy, he's tender and a complete gentleman, and her fascination with the mysterious beast of a man becomes too powerful for her to walk away.

As Theo's demons come to light, running becomes even more impossible. And yet staying together could doom them both.

Her faith leaves me in awe

Her hope encourages mine

Nikki's Review:

This is the first book I’ve read by Jodi Ellen Malpas. I was excited to dive in and fall hard for her newest alpha hero. That was my hope, anyways. 

Speaking of Alpha heroes...I love them. I love them a lot. But in all honesty, Theo took that to a whole other level. He had some major stalker tendencies. I liked him enough, but he shook me up a time or two with his over the top personality. 

I wanted to like Izzy, I really did, but she was a ridiculous push over. I won’t give too much away, but that whole awful scene where Theo shows up her work, and charges into her supervisor’s office was enough to make me cringe. I would have walked away and never looked back. Izzy convinced herself that it was because he wants to protect her. I may have rolled my eyes at that!

I think the thing I liked best about this book was the secondary characters. I was more intrigued by them, and I hope they get a book. I would definitely read it. 

While I wasn’t a huge fan of the hero and heroine in this book, I thought the writing was well done. The plot was interesting and kept me turning the pages. I just wish I was able to connect with, and understand,  Theo and Izzy’s personalities better.
