I chose him.

Ruthless. Relentless. Ravenous.

Kellan Watts was supposed to stay in my past.

One mistake. One mission.

One moment of weakness.

I built walls around my heart, fortified them with steel, secrets, and lies. But now he's back—more dangerous than ever, determined to prove he’ll stop at nothing to make me his.

As Titan's deadliest operative, I know better than to trust easily, take a chance on anyone.

But with every heated touch, every kiss, my defenses crumble. And when a mission brings our past crashing into our present, I have to choose: keep my secrets or risk my heart.

Because this time? If I lose him again, it'll destroy us both.

And I have no intention of ever letting that happen.

Stroke of Lust, the third installment in the Titan Security series, brings a protective Alpha and his sassy counterpart back together in a second-chance romance. Filled with steamy, sultry moments and irresistible chemistry, it’s a reunion that will keep you hooked on Titan.

#BookReview: Wildbound (Forestborn #2) by Elayne Audrey Becker @elayneabecker

The thrilling follow-up to Elayne Audrey Becker's debut YA epic fantasy, Forestborn, full of forest magic and a kingdom on the brink of war.

With the assassination of Telyan's king, the time for peace has passed.

Determined to make up for his failure to procure the stardust, Helos finds work as a healer at Fendolyn's Keep, the military garrison to which Telyan's exiled royals--and half its civilians--have fled. Racing against the Fallow Throes' ticking clock, he endeavors to repair his relationship with Prince Finley and fight off the gathering shadows in his head, as the base around him prepares for war.

Half a continent away, his sister Rora is doing everything she can to reawaken the land and end Eradain's slaughter of magical beings. Still reeling from the revelation that Eradain's violent monarch is her half-brother, she journeys to the kingdom determined to infiltrate his court in disguise--and finds the seeds of rebellion are already stirring.

With a magical illness running rampant and the continent arming for battle, the three realms' long-feared destruction seems inevitable. But the two shifters they believed would bring about Alemara's ruin may in fact hold the key to its survival.

#BookReview: My Vampire Plus-One (My Vampires #2) by Jenna Levine

Nothing sucks more than fake dating a vampire in this paranormal romantic comedy from the USA Today bestselling author of My Roommate Is a Vampire.

Amelia Collins is by definition successful. She would even go so far as to say successfully single. But not according to her family, and she’s tired of the constant questions about her nonexistent dating life. When an invitation to yet another family wedding arrives, she decides to get everyone off her back once and for all by finding someone–anyone–to pose as her date.

After a chance encounter with Reginald Cleaves, Amelia decides he’s perfect for her purposes. He’s a bit strange, but that’s fine; it’ll discourage tough questions from her family. (And it certainly doesn’t hurt that he’s very handsome.) For centuries-old vampire Reggie, posing as her plus-one sounds like the ultimate fun. And if it helps his ruse of pretending to be human, so much the better.

As Amelia and Reggie practice their fauxmance, it becomes clear that Reggie is as loyal to her as the day is long, and that Amelia’s first impressions could not have been more wrong. Suddenly, being in a real relationship with Reggie sounds pretty fang-tastic.
