Absolute Insanity! Loved it.

His Angel continues off from the previous book Isaia. 

Put yourself in time out for this one because when I tell you when baby Del Rossa sets his mind on something, NOTHING will change it. He went absolute banana's for his obsession Everly in Isaia. In this show stopper, he goes to great lengths to keep her safe and with him. Marooned on his families private island, surrounded by his personal guards, he plots away sending out false leads in order for them to not be found.

Everly who wakes up and remembers just what happened that changed her life is succumbed with a heavy heart. She blames herself for the situation that they are in. Isaia who not just loves her but burns for her shows her just why they were born for each other. Everly brings out the possessive beast in him and no one takes whats his. 

This one was absolute insanity. It ends on a cliffhanger. Twisting my fingers, cannot wait to see just how absolutely unhinged, psycho, and terrifying this Del Rossa brother will be. I feel he's going to be the worse one.

You know when you read and book and tell yourself it has to get better? Well this is one of those books. T. Priceton took Izzy and Nico to a new level. These two was so captivating you couldn't help but want them together. The heartache and secrets that each went thru individually was so hard to read. But that's what kept you reading and wanting nothing more but the best for these two.

These two were so in love in college but unforseen circumstances led to Nico doing the only thing that he knew he had to do to protect the woman he loved with his whole being. Let. Her. Go.

By letting her go it not only shattered Isabella's heart, it changed her. 

Fast foward Niccoló is back and determined to put into motion what he had planned when he had to let her go. The lengths that this man does is epic.

Loved these two and could not put it down.  ]]> ReadStatus9349936402 Fri, 25 Apr 2025 00:53:51 -0700 /review/show/7517132833 Jess is currently reading His Angel by Bella J.

Hold on to your emotions cuz this unhinged MMC is not letting go.

Dr. Dimples who he's affectionately known as, has a darker side that gets unleashed when Tovah who is the schools sports editor decides she's going to blackmail him. She who will do whatever it takes to protect her mom, and he the same for his teammates and his family name. Isaac and Tovah have a deeper connection and history that only Tovah remembers but that's not stopping her from doing what she needs to do. 

Tovah brings out the monster in Isaac. He hates her but feels possessive and protective over her. No one touches or hurts her without consequences coming their way. 

Being forced with Isaac brings out mixed emotions in Tovah. She sees sides of him that no one else has. It makes her confused and unsure. One hand she doesn't like him but at the same ttime she wants him. He takes away the ability of her having to make decisions and just have her feel instead. He brings out a darker side that she's realizing she likes. Secrets come to light and they must decide individually just what do they mean to each other. 

I freaking loved this one. Tovah and Isaac are explosive and I had the best time reading about strudel and hand puppets. ]]> ReadStatus9313704357 Tue, 15 Apr 2025 17:34:13 -0700 /review/show/7491958699 Jess wants to read The Rejected Wife by L. Steele

Survivors

Please read the trigger warnings before starting this book.

I could not write enough about how this amazing beautifully soul tearing and healing journey read this book was. From the first page, it will grip you, and wanting to not let go. I was so happy that Mara got to tell her story. She was always in the back of my mind when she was mentioned in the previous books in the series. Ark, bless his scarred beating heart. His journey in life before he meets Mara is not his own. 

When these two get together, they just know there have been and still is struggles and obstacles they need to get thru as individuals and together as a couple. 

Surviving is what they've been doing all their lives. They become each others protector. Together they conquer fear, rejection, shame, secrets and lies. Together they can break cycles that haven't been. Two people who have been hurt so much in life and could have taken the road less traveled, instead fight. Not just for themselves but each other and those they love. 

This book is one I will remember forever. ]]>
