****

Constantine, Hendrix, Tristan, and Aleksander. Four dangerous men who will do anything to protect me.

Constantine Ferreira, Tristan Amato, and Hendrix Knight. My three childhood best friends who grew into ruthless, powerful men. Constantine is my sanctuary. Tristan is my strength. Hendrix is my freedom. And then there’s Aleksander Stepanoff. Let’s just say, things are very complicated when it comes to my former enemy.

These four men see the scars that mark my body as perfection and my darkness as beautiful chaos. A chaos that I will unleash upon the Society and the people who took everything from me.

I’ve been used by everyone in my life. As a weapon, a pawn, and a bargaining chip. No more. I am Aoife Fitzpatrick. Daughter of James and Caroline Fitzpatrick and heir to the Council. I am also Syn Carmichael. The girl with the battle scars who rose from the ashes like a phoenix reborn. The heartbeat of two strong women beats inside my chest. As does revenge.

With the support of the three men I love and the enemy I have come to trust, I’m going to take back my father’s legacy and punish those who betrayed my family…

…and hopefully, somewhere along the road to vengeance, I’ll find my own happy-ever-after.

- four hot, possessive MMCs

- a strong and fierce FMC

- forced proximity

- opposites attract

- secret society

- found family

- twists and turns that will leave you gasping (literally)

- a much deserved HEA

#BookReview: Listen for the Lie by @amytintera @CeladonBooks @lexilikestoread

Synopsis: What if you thought you murdered your best friend? And if everyone else thought so too? And what if the truth doesn't matter?

After Lucy is found wandering the streets, covered in her best friend Savvy’s blood, everyone thinks she is a murderer. Lucy and Savvy were the golden girls of their small Texas town: pretty, smart, and enviable. Lucy married a dream guy with a big ring and an even bigger new home. Savvy was the social butterfly loved by all, and if you believe the rumors, especially popular with the men in town. It’s been years since that horrible night, a night Lucy can’t remember anything about, and she has since moved to LA and started a new life.

But now the phenomenally huge hit true crime podcast "Listen for the Lie," and its too-good looking host Ben Owens, have decided to investigate Savvy’s murder for the show’s second season. Lucy is forced to return to the place she vowed never to set foot in again to solve her friend’s murder, even if she is the one that did it.

🗝Slow-burn 🗝Spicy Brontë Vibes 🗝Distressed Heroine 🗝Sinister Love Interest 🗝Dark Secrets 🗝Celtic Folklore 🗝Preternatural Occurrences Millicent Foxboro is haunted. 

 Not by ghosts, but by the anguish of her past and the uncertainty of her future. After all, even in the progressive year of 1928, most people would balk at hiring a woman who’d spent two months in a mental ward for traumatic amnesia. So when an uncommon assistantship to a reclusive Professor of mythology falls into her lap with an ungodly salary attached, her desperation for stability overrides her cautious nature. To Millie’s dismay, the widowed Professor Callum Hughes and his estate, Willowfield, are more than she bargained for. The once magnificent home, known for its sprawling gardens and dazzling parties, is falling to pieces after the death of the professor’s fragile wife. What’s more, the staff has been reduced to the only three people not frightened away by rumors of ghosts, leaving the halls empty and languishing in bitter memories. The professor himself is a grim, intense man with unclear expectations, unpredictable moods, and hungry eyes that ignite Millie’s own dormant passions. The closer she finds herself drawn to Professor Hughes and his strange world of flowers and folklore, the more the house closes in, threatening to reveal her secrets. But the professor is keeping secrets of his own and the most dangerous of all is hers to discover.
