 Ending the Game, an all-new forbidden new-adult second book full of heat and heart in The Risks We Take Duet from bestselling author Bella Matthews is available now!

BLURB:

Nobody warned me what it’s like to look back with regret. To be left wondering,

What if…?

I’ve never been that guy. The one who questioned his choices. Who didn’t have a purpose.

If I wanted something, I worked harder than everyone else and made it happen.

I had my life planned out until Carys Murphy changed the game.

She was my best friend’s little sister long before she became my stepsister. Loving her was the easiest thing I’ve ever done. But not all love stories have happy endings.

With the risks higher than ever, and the flames rising around us, can we find our way back?

Or will we crash and burn?

My Review:
My Rating: 5 Stars

 This book starts right where Changing the Game ended and starts with Cooper's point of view of the cliff hanger. I will tell you when I read the first part of this duet I was not happy where it ended, talk about a cliffhanger that came out of nowhere! But I loved how Bella stitched this book together and gave it the perfect ending. This book definitely has some angst and a twist I don't think most people will see. I loved seeing the character growth of the main characters and I really hope she writes more about some of the side characters because I would love to see them get their happily ever after.

This book shows that not all relationships are easy, but if you truly want to be with someone you have to be willing to put in the work. I absolutely love Cooper and even if I didn't always agree with him I understood why he was doing what he did. I loved how Carys grew in this book too. She knew what she wanted and she went after it knowing that it wasn't going to make everyone happy. She had to do what was right for her. This duet is one you have to read to grow as a reader. I don't want to spoil it, but even if you think this might not be your type of book, you should read it anyways. Normally I am not a fan of step siblings, but I am so glad I gave this duet a chance.

EXCERPT:

When I find room 309, the door is cracked open, so I knock quietly before walking in.

What I see is a sucker punch to the gut. Carys is curled up in a recliner, wearing a tank top and sweatpants, with a tiny little baby lying against her chest in nothing but a diaper and a big pink bow. My heart screams mine, while my brain screams run.

Her eyes are closed, and she’s humming a soft song while both the baby and Emerson sleep.

When I close the door behind me, Carys’s eyes slowly open, and a tender smile spreads across her gorgeous face. Every ounce of hurt I hold over this woman washes away in an instant, and I want nothing more than to wrap her in my arms. But that can’t happen now.

“Hey,” she whispers.

I take a step closer and stare in wonder at the tiny baby. “Hey. How are you doing?” I ask just as quietly.

“Well,” she whispers, smiling, and my entire body relaxes. “I’m not the one who gave birth, so I’m doing pretty well. A little tired.” She shrugs. “And my hand may never quite heal from the insane hold Em had on it last night, but . . .” She angles herself to give me a better view of the sleeping baby. “Little Miss Elodie was worth it.”

“She’s beautiful.” I trace a finger gently along her tiny arm, and her fingers spread wide open, startled. “She looks like Linc,” I whisper in awe.

“Wait until she opens her eyes. They’re all Emerson. But everything else is all her daddy.” Sadness creeps into her voice as she adjusts Elodie and stands from the chair.

“Do you want to hold her?”

I shake my head. “I don’t want to break her.”

Carys laughs at me. “You won’t break her, Coop. Sit down, and I’ll lay her in your arms.”

I hesitate for a moment before sitting down and then hold still as Carys carefully transfers a sleeping Elodie into my arms. The baby roots around for a minute until she gets comfortable, then yawns so big, I half expect her jaw to come unhinged. Her warm skin is soft under my hand, and for a moment, I forget about the shitstorm currently surrounding us.

Forget that I’m furious with the woman in front of me.

Forget that Linc isn’t about to walk through that door and hold his daughter.

But that peace is short-lived.

Carys takes a step back and covers her mouth with her hands. “You look really good holding a baby, Cooper.” Pain laces her voice, and the vise around my heart tightens.

“I never cared about that, Carys. We could have adopted. We could have fostered. We could have used a surrogate.” She closes her eyes, but I don’t stop, making sure to keep my voice calm and quiet so I don’t wake Elodie or Emerson. “We could have had as many years together as we wanted before we had to figure it out. But we would have figured it out together because I loved you.”

She gasps just as I realize what I said.

“Loved.” She holds my eyes as tears well in hers. “Past tense.”

“We can’t do this here, Carys. It’s not the—”

“No,” she cuts me off. “You wouldn’t talk to me at the hospital. You wouldn’t even look at me yesterday. Don’t tell me now’s not the time, unless you’re ready to tell me when that time will be. I need to talk to you, Cooper. I still love you. I always have, and I always will. I shouldn’t have taken away your choice when I did. I was so wrong to end things.

You have to believe me.”

Her words loosen the tightness I’ve been holding onto for a month, but there’s nothing I can do about them now. “Believing you isn’t the issue, Carys. Trusting you . . . That’s a different story.” Saying the words feels wrong, but if I want to keep her safe, I need to keep her at a distance while we figure this shit out.

Carys flinches and steps back as if I physically hurt her. She runs her hands through her hair and turns away for a moment. When she turns back, a determined glint dances in her green eyes. “You can be as angry as you want, Cooper Sinclair, but I love you, and I know you love me too. So be pissed. Be hurt. Be as mean to me as you want. I’m not going anywhere this time. I’m not making that mistake again.”

The spark I love in this woman is firing in a million vibrant colors as she fights for us.

I just wish she’d have done it sooner.

BLURB:

Not all love stories have happy endings. Some are destined to crash and burn.

Cooper Sinclair was my brother’s best friend long before he became my stepbrother.

A navy SEAL who’s owned my heart since the day we met. Loving him was easy. But time was never on our side, and stolen moments only last so long.

My Review:
My Rating: 4 Stars

Carys has had feelings for Cooper ever since he became her brother's best friend. The only problem is that Cooper is now her step brother since her mother married his father. Cooper has been away in the Navy, but is on leave when he runs into Carys at the same town she's going to college at away from her family. The two reconnect and Carys has flourished being away from her family and trying to become her own person. The two soon realize their is chemistry between them, but because they are step siblings they try to fight against it. Now they have to figure out if it's worth it to be together or to let it go. I love how Carys is maturing and becoming the woman she wants to be and not the protected little sister her brother thinks she is. I also loved Cooper and his squad and how once he makes up his mind he goes for what he wants. I was so frustrated when I got to the end and the cliff hanger! September 7th can't come fast enough and I can't wait to see what's going to happen next. I don't want to say too much because I feel like if I say anymore it will become too spoilerish but I don't normally read step brother books, it's not usually my cup of tea, and I didn't want this one to end because I enjoyed it so much. This book helps answer the question of if love is worth the risk.

EXCERPT:

Coop . . . what changed?” I can’t believe I’m asking, but I need to know. “Why now?

What made you look at me now?” My words stay soft. Unsure.

Cooper presses his lips to the top of my head before answering, and I inhale his clean scent, memorizing it, so I can still smell it once he’s gone. “Do you really think I only just saw you, Carys?”

I tilt my head back and run my hand up his neck to the back of his head. If I ever want this to be more, I have to be honest. “I guess I do. This last week has been different.

You’ve been different.”

With an almost imperceptible shake of his head, he agrees with me. “I guess I have, but so have you. When I met you, you were a freshman in high school. Your brother was my best friend, and I was about to turn eighteen. There was no way anything could have happened then, but I promise you, I saw you. I always saw you.” Coop crosses his legs at his ankles and gets comfortable.

“I saw how you would beam up at Murphy any time you two were in the same room. I paid attention to the way you’d talk about being a Broadway star one day and saw every single show you performed on Kroydon Prep’s stage once I moved to town. My favorite was Rent. You killed it, but I didn’t like when you had to die for a minute at the end.”

A cool breeze blows in through the doors, and goosebumps scatter over my bare skin.

Not as much a reaction to the cold as the realization that this man has always seen me.

“I watched you get quiet when there were too many people around. The way you prefer to be surrounded by people you know, people you feel safe with. I know the freckles across your nose and cheeks get darker in the summer and you hate the ocean at night.

I’ve been watching you for a long time, baby. But our family situation is complicated. I haven’t figured out how we’re going to deal with all that yet. But seeing you last week away from everyone else.” He trails the tips of his fingers along my throat, and I shiver as the heat building between us comes close to incinerating us both.

“You’re not that kid anymore, Carys. Neither of us is.”

I lay my face against his shoulder and hide my eyes. “I saw you too, you know?”

Laughter rumbles up his exquisite chest. “Yeah. You weren’t as good at hiding it as I was.”

“You asshole,” I laugh and try to yank away from him, but he tugs me back.

“Hey, now. Don’t be like that. I liked the way you looked at me.”

We lie in the quiet of the room, listening to the storm outside play its own tune as sleep slowly tugs at the two of us.

“Sing me something, Carys,” he whispers as the weather rages on.

Without overthinking it, I sing the old Lifehouse song we danced to years ago while I run my fingers over his chest. And by the time I sing the last words of the song, his breathing has evened out, and his strong, hard body has relaxed around me.

Everything but the grip he has on me.

That’s tighter now than it’s ever been.

On my body and on my heart.

My Review:
My Rating: 5 Stars

This is the conclusion to the Bend & Break duet and let me tell you...it does not disappoint!! I absolutely loved the first book of the duet and was a little nervous because sometimes the second book is not as good, but this one was just as amazing as the first one. Break starts where Bend leaves off and without giving any spoilers away takes the reader through the complicated relationship between Beau and Cal. I couldn't think of Beau being any stronger in this book than the last and loved that the author showed me I was wrong. Beau has had to deal with so much hardship in her life and I am glad she was able to find her own path! Cal, even though he doesn't think he's good enough, is one of the best book boyfriends ever! He loves his family and will do anything for those he loves.This book had twists and turns and was not without some hard times, but all the questions from the first book were answered in this one.I can't recommend this duet enough to anyone. This will definitely be on my top list of books read in 2021!

My Review:
My Rating: 5 Stars

Beau is to marry a man her father picked out for her, but she has never met him. After she meets him she is even more desperate not to marry him. As she tries to figure out how to get out of her arranged marriage she ends up meeting up with the man who broke her heart years before. Cal is a firefighter who has a lot to deal with in his big Italian family. He's trying to be the best son, brother and firefighter. Cal and Beau used to be in a secret relationship years ago until Cal broke it off with Beau. Beau hates him for that because she believes he never truly loved her. Now with her impending nuptials coming faster Beau will do anything not to say I do to the evil man her father is trying to marry her off. Even if it means marrying the man who broke her heart.

This is my first book by this author, but it definitely won't be my last. I love how this author gave complicated backstories for both characters. Beau is a strong, young woman, but at times may be perceived as weak, but that only shows even the strongest people still are human when it comes to their families. Cal is a protector and tries to protect the ones he loves even if it is the wrong choice and not what they need. I don't want to give too much away, but you need to read this story! I can't wait to see how this duet ends and will definitely be checking out the other duets on Beau's brothers!

London Royal- Review

London Royal by Nana Malone
October 22, 2019

BLURB:

Rich.
Entitled.

Possessive pain in my ass.
I know exactly what I don’t want.

I escaped to London under the cover of night, never thinking I'd run smack into a man who would turn me inside out.

I had a plan. Simple, really.

Step one: Follow my dream, away from from the demons of my past.
Step two: Land on my own two feet, preferably far, far, away from the man who hurt me and broke my heart.
Step three: Live a little and avoid all men with dark secrets.

So far, I'm not doing so hot.

He's a royal amongst peasants, and the last kind of trouble I need--a filthy rich alpha who can see straight into my soul. Our secrets hold us both captive.

Something tells me I’ll be powerless to stop his magnetic pull, especially when he tells me I'm going to be his, damn the consequences.

My Review:
My Rating: 4 stars

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review. Abbie is trying to live her dreams after escaping her past. Lex is just trying to live his life while avoiding his father at all costs. A chance encounter has these two meeting and sparks fly. What happens when fate keeps throwing these two together? Even though they both try to fight it, you can't hide chemistry. This book starts off in the present and in the first chapter goes back to 5 years in the past. While most of this book is in the past it shows the pieces of their story. Abbie is struggling with her past and just wants to focus on herself while Lex is struggling with doing the right thing. Like normal Nana Malone fashion she leaves you with a cliffhanger that makes you wonder just how everything works out. I liked both characters.

About Nana:

with a tattered romantic suspense she borrowed from her cousin.

It was a sultry summer afternoon in Ghana, and Nana was a precocious thirteen. She's

been in love with kick butt heroines ever since. With her overactive imagination, and

channeling her inner Buffy, it was only a matter a time before she started creating her

own characters.

While she waits for her chance at a job as a ninja assassin, in the meantime Nana

works out her drama, passion and sass with fictional characters every bit as sassy and

kick butt as she thinks she is.

Stealing Home Review

Stealing Home by Harlow Cole
Book 2 in the St. Michaels Duet

Synopsis:

Ashley
I’ve given up. On my childish dreams.
On getting out of this town. On love. On him.
On everything.

I’m barely treading water.

Brayden
I’m the man with it all.

The pinstriped jersey covering my back garners easy cash, flashy cars and fast women. My gilded name drapes over the city in neon. I have everything. Everything, except the thing I crave most. Ashley Foster.

There’s one addiction I never tried to beat.

They say you can never go home again. I’m out to prove them wrong. But what if returning requires facing all the things you destroyed? To what lengths would you go to earn forgiveness?

Would you beg? Would you borrow? Would you steal?

Stealing home is the riskiest move in baseball. But the reward... If it works? Winning her back is a chance I’m finally ready to take.

My pockets are filled with stars.
It’s time to follow them home.

This time, I don’t want to steal her firsts,
I want to lay claim on all her lasts.

My Review:
Rating: 5 stars

Ashley and Brayden are not the same kids they used to be. Ashley is struggling to hold her life and her family together. Brayden is a big shot baseball player who has injured his shoulder and has come home to get back his girl. This book broke my heart and pieced it all back together. I couldn't blame Ashley for how she reacted after seeing Brayden again and I loved how Brayden fought for Ashley's forgiveness. This book hit a raw spot with me and something I am still coming to terms with. I won't give it away because it is a pretty big spoiler. Maybe that's why this book resonated so deep inside me. Harlow did a great job at writing her characters and you could feel the pain, heartbreak, anger, frustration, chemistry, and forgiveness throughout the various characters. I hope Harlow writes more books on these characters because I would love to read Nathan's story next. This book is angsy and real and at times you get frustrated with the characters, but that's the best thing when you are reading a book. That means the book means something to you. This was the perfect ending for Ashley and Brayden and that's all I could ask for from this author. Also, the fact that this is Harlow's debut duet I will definitely be checking out more of her work when she releases it. Read below for an excerpt.

Excerpt

I pumped the gas pedal a half-dozen times, trying to will the thing back to life, as I coasted to the gravel shoulder on the side of the road. I slumped forward, resting my forearms and brow against the oversized steering wheel, locked inside disbelief of the shittiest luck possible. I’d become one of those blow-up punching dolls with the sand in the bottom. The kind fists keep pummeling ’cause the stupid thing never has the sense to stay down.

Begrudgingly, I popped the hood release and hopped down out of the cab. I had no clue how to diagnose the problem, but broken-down suckers on the roadside always pretend to look at the engine.

I played along.

Stepping up onto the rusted front bumper, I stared at the pile of dirty metal while daydreaming about tossing a match inside and walking away. At least bending over under the hood shielded part of me from the rain.

The sound of tires crunching through the gravel behind the truck brought a sigh of sweet relief. I looked back up at the heavens and felt bad for not trusting my angel to send help. Jumping down from my perch on the bumper, I brushed my hands down the front of my khaki shorts as I rounded the front of the cab to call out to my hero. Cruel disbelief blossomed in the back of my throat.

“You’ve got to be shitting me. This is not happening.”

He’s still in town?

It had been almost a week. A week of trying to make myself believe our run-in at Foxy’s was just another bad dream. Six freaking days of convincing myself life couldn’t possibly be that cruel. I’d avoided the town gossip machine buzzing furiously about his sudden return. But no one else would drive that car. It looked like money on wheels. The black paint and sleek lines made my truck’s chipped blue exterior and scratched marina logo look even more pathetic. Some folks in St. Michaels had seen a Maserati.

Nobody in town drove one.
Certainly not one with New York plates.

I lifted my face to the rain, letting it wash away my urge to cry, as the driver’s side door popped open, and my worst day of the week took a turn for my worst day ever. He was dressed casually in a pair of shiny black athletic shorts and a plain gray sweatshirt, slightly frayed across the bottom hem by time and fondness. The hood bunched up around his neck, framing the sharp jawline that sported thick, dark scruff.

Brayden Ross turned gym-rat attire into the costume of a sex god.

He suffered from that strange anomaly that saddled people with fame and fortune. As a little girl, I’d seen it in his father and his father’s friends. They seemed crisper around the edges or something. Like brand-new bills freshly spit from the ATM instead of crumpled dollars that spent life stuffed in back pockets and sweaty bras.

He didn’t walk toward me; he prowled.
Slow and steady with this sexy gait that deserved its own theme music.
The rain didn’t even try to touch him.

This second sighting didn’t level the same sucker punch. More like a queasy dysphoria. A bad case of déjà vu that punctured skin and vein. Half of me wanted to run, throw my arms around his waist, and hold on for dear life. The other half wanted to put my hands around his neck and squeeze hard.
