#BookReview: Jackson: Montgomery Ranch Cowboy by @fionawolfe_books



".... if only she knew the things I could do to her, what I will do to her… but she’ll beg me first."

Heir to his family's sprawling multimillion-dollar ranch; Jackson Montgomery has always been certain of his future—until the most enticing woman he's ever encountered moves into his aunt and uncle's house.
Handsome and capable; he's never had to go far for female attention but this woman; with her feisty spirit and mouthwatering curves, fires his blood in a way no other woman has before.
Her hungry gaze tells him she wants him...but she doesn't seem to be taking him seriously!
Confusion, anger, and lust war within him as his body yearns to pull her close, but his heart wants to push her away....

"...the things he does to me; I never knew I wanted..."

A New York City native; Laura is a young, sassy, educated woman who plans to spend her life helping other women rise from the ashes of abuse. She craves peace, serenity, and a place she can call home near the one person on earth she loves like a sister.

Life at the ranch seems idyllic until Jackson Montgomery appears. The tall, handsome cowboy seems too good to be true, but he isn’t here to stay. He’s only there for a season, and Laura can feel his dislike, even as his hot gaze devours every inch of her.....

HEA.

Can be read as a standalone.

(Kiss of Death MC)


Motorcycle Club Romance, Suspense, Age Gap

Date Published: March 28, 2025


 

Pippa is the unexpected twist in my life, a complication I never saw coming.

Pippa -- My life has been shaped by some kind of underworld scheming I don’t really understand. Or maybe I don’t want to know. But now I’m living in darkness and violence, unable to break free but unwilling to succumb to the drug induced stupor my captives force on me. Then Gunnar, a fierce man with a dark relentlessness, charges to my rescue like a black knight, taking vengeance on those who have hurt me. Our first meeting isn’t a rescue out of a fairy tale -- it’s pure chaos. Gunnar may be an ex-con, but he protects me with a ferocity I never knew existed.

Gunnar – Pippa’s quiet resilience clashes with the violent life I know. With just a look, the woman claims my heart and life takes on a brand new meaning. I’ve done time -- fifteen long years behind bars, to protect my sister. Now I’ll protect Pippa with a ruthlessness she can’t even imagine.

My past is dark, my future uncertain, and every moment with Pippa makes me realize the lengths I’ll go to keep her. Fate has brought me to the one woman I know I can’t live without.

 

WARNING: Gunnar includes scenes of graphic violence and adult situations including potential triggers for some readers. There’s also a protective hero, an intelligent, insightful heroine, and eventual happy ending. No cheating, as always.

Update with @ReaderLatte


So not an official update for reviewing but just a short life update.  So the past two weeks I have been dealing with a lot of pain. My sciatica has decided to come back and torment me and I was out of meds from the ER so that was fun.  I have an appointment today at 3 with the doctor to see if I can get anything for it.  Because over the counter meds are not doing anything.  Then yesterday I put myself into more pain having a tooth pulled.  So ya this last few weeks have not been fun.  I am happy and were fortunate enough to get a hotel stay from now until the 30th.  If this was all going on sleeping in the car I think I would have not made it.  I am in so much pain and this sucks so much.  

#BookReview: The Prince and the Player by @nora.phoenix @rachelsrandomresources




The royally romantic, enemies-to-lovers college romance for fans of Casey McQuiston, Alexis Hall and Jax Calder. I’m determined to win over the one guy who hates me…but I never expected to fall for him

Being a prince may seem like a fairytale, but to me, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. That’s why I’m excited when I get permission from my uncle—the king of Norway—to go undercover as a student at an American college for a year. And I’m even more ecstatic to be selected for their football team. Soccer, I mean. The only problem? Farron, the team captain, dislikes me on sight. Determined to win him over, I start a charm offensive, but nothing works. He only hates me more.

Until the animosity comes to an explosive release…and we end up kissing each other. How did that happen when neither of us has ever been attracted to a guy before? Farron wants to let it run its course and get it out of our system, but I doubt that’ll work. I’m falling for him hard, but he has no idea who I really am. I fear that if he finds out, he’ll never speak to me again…

The Prince and the Player is the first book in the Prince Pact series and features an undercover, sunshiney prince and a grumpy, handsome soccer captain, two guys who mistake hate for attraction, a double bi-awakening, and two opposites who attract each other like magnets.
