**This is NOT a book of people in relationships CHEATING on each other!!!**
✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋
Don't let the title steer you away from reading something that has been really fun so far. It IS a book about 'cheating' death, 'cheating' in the office to get the job you want and 'cheating' to get the girl/guy you like, 'cheating' in a casino so you win, etc. As of now, I haven't read a OW or OM story yet. Although I'm sure there's going to be at least one bc of the concept. It's too good of an anthology and I don't want anyone to miss it because of what it seems at first glance. 💜
I read them out of order but they're numbered if you're interested.

15) Colorful Temptations by S. Firecox ~ 5*
What?!?! Girl secretly in love with her brothers best friend, who's older AND now her professor! All my favorite tropes made for a sexy story! Jenica is determined to show Pierce she isn't such a little girl anymore but what she doesn't realize is that he's already totally aware. Great story! 🔥 Only this is one of the few unfinished stories... That's okay if the author completes it though bc I adore these characters. (Full novel to come)

20) Evasive Love by Jade Royal ~ 5*
For some reason I wasn't that excited to read this one but boy, was that my mistake! It was WONDERFUL. A story that spans years and takes you around the world. It was beautiful. Raphael and Anise get stuck together when their plane is overbooked. They have a fairly instant connection that builds stronger with friendship. Hard things happen but they are meant to be. I loved it!

4) Trained & Broken by Rae B. Lake ~ 4*
One thing in romance books I have a hard time relating to is when the guy likes to use a cane, whip, belt and calls her Whore instead of her real name. Its just difficult for me to really like. Imagine my surprise that when I finished this I was totally infatuated with Savage! Genesys needed someone like Savage and vice versa. I was swooning for his smiles just like Genesys was. In the end, he was lonely and had a damaged past but Genesys saw through it all to see the real him.

5) Don't Let Me Go by Stacy McWilliams ~ 4*
M/M. Hudson and Landon are in a serious, long term relationship. Until they have a fairly normal fight that happens that turn everything to hell. A year later, no longer together but still loving each other they have to learn to work with one another. Hudson's heartbreak was so sad! HE lost everything but I felt it. It was a sweet second chance story with a lot of angst.

16) Paper Coffins by Kristi-Anne Still ~ 5*
Whoa. This was pretty awesome. Beckett and Natalia are in a battle to see which one will take over the throne. However, they have history that includes loving one another and that makes everything more difficult. (BTW, its a head of the mafia throne not actual royalty) I could read an entire series about these characters and the world they live in. Hopefully, the author plans to write more... I've already sent her a message asking. 😁

21) These Chaotic Thoughts by Abigail Davies ~ 5*
Another awesome story I wished was a full length novel because it was so good. Lena is undercover trying to take down criminal Theo Black. Of course, things don't go as planned for either of them. Theo was HOT as hell in his dangerous ways! I loved him. Lena begins to feel the thrill of being bad. They become a perfect storm. So good!

8) Broken Sky by Persephone Autumn ~ 5*
Skylar meets Law at a bar one night and they instantly fall in Lust. It was sexy and sweet and then Law's crazy, stalking ex girlfriend does everything in her power to hurt them. Skylar and Law come up with a plan to make her stop but it backfires and things go from bad to worse. Skylar was a perfect h. She was confident and didn't shy away from the man she wanted. Law was pretty perfect too! He was the best combination of alpha male and sweet and loving. Together they are what all relationships should be like. Loved this!!

9) Caught by Cole Denton ~ 4*
M/M. Justin has had a very difficult life which includes alot of sadness. When he's 14 him and his family move from Lithuania to California. He begins going to college to better their lives when he meets Prof. Grant. Not only is he his teacher, he's also 32 years older than Justin. So, I was going to give this story FIVE stars which is pretty huge for me bc I don't really like MM much. However, I really liked this one. Then I'm reading this sentence... While I swallowed Lucas’s load, I was so satisfied with how things had gone that I didn’t give a fuck about the stench of Preston’s cologne that hung heavily in the air." And then The End. I was like how can it stop there?!? Btw, Preston is Justin's bully so more was going to happen there, right? It doesn't seem like there's another book or anything more and it needed more. Otherwise, I enjoyed this.

10) He Calls Me Bug by Zoey Zane ~ 4*
This story has everything I love. Older man and dad's best friend, David has been in Skylar's life since she was 9 years old. Skylar has loved him from the moment she met him. Things get sketchy when Skylar throws herself at him when she's only 16 and that causes David to put alot of distance between them. Now when she turns 18? He's done holding himself back. New to me author. Great story.

12) Distorted Truths & Pretty Lies by Tinley Blake ~ 5*
Noooo! I was into this story and it just stopped. King is a dangerous man and when he finds out someone is using his name to further themselves he sets out to teach them a lesson. Until he sees beautiful, intriguing Nolan Pierce. Instead of teaching a lesson they begin playing a game. I really enjoyed this and since it stopped so abruptly I am assuming, and crossing my fingers, that a full length novel will be coming soon. 🙏

3) Slight Of Hand by Kay Elle Parker ~ 5*
I loved this story!!! Lara played a game with Seth, the grim reaper, and WON. I don't want to give too much away but I will say I enjoyed Seth talking about his "job" and how lonely its been for him. So good. I would have liked to have had more of a epilogue even though it wasn't necessary. I personally just wanted more.

1) Crow's Enemy by Saffron Blu ~ 4*
What a great way to start this anthology! Its like Romeo and Juliet just the MC edition. The VP of one MC and the club princess of another meet and fall in love. Unfortunately, neither one told the other who they were. Obviously, the truth catches up to them. I wanted to give this five stars but it ended so abruptly that I couldn't. I am interested in reading more of these rival clubs.

19) The House Always Wins by Stephanie Renee ~ 5*
Katarina is in Vegas counting cards to get her father out of his own gambling debt. Dominic is the owner and isn't happy with her even though he is intrigued. He makes her a one week deal and almost everything is perfect. This was kinda a gamblers "Pretty Woman" and I loved it so much. Katarina was strong and knew her own worth and Dominic was VERY sexy, swoony and exactly the kind of man we all want one day!

14) The Panel by A.R. Thomas ~ 5*
AMAZING!! I want more of the Panel! Avery unknowingly gets in the crosshairs of a secret, elite group of powerful men. Luckily for her Jamison has never met a woman like Avery. Although he's supposed to kill her instead he takes her home. I've never read this author before but if all her books are as good as this I can't wait to start reading them. Loved it!

11) Darker Shades by Hart De Lune ~ 2*
Meh. It was okay. Its hard to turn the terrifying realness of Human Trafficking into a HEA story. The Cortez brothers were a scary group of guys but Jackson wasn't a great guy either. If he hadn't had an instant connection with the h he wouldn't have saved any of the women. I'm really more interested to read the authors books about the Cortez family and Landon, another important character in this story. If you've read the authors House of Skin series, which I haven't, I'm sure you'll enjoy this one more than I.

17) 1886 by Jason Hes ~ DNF
So, my absolute least favorite genre to read is Historical Fiction. I don't know what I thought the title meant but my stupidity is very obvious. The story takes place in 1886. I really just could not get into it. I read five chapters and still have no clue what its about. Oh well.

13) Before You Accuse Me by Mary B. Moore ~ 3*
I really loved the idea for this story. Eva is the daughter of a woman who's in jail for stealing lots of money from people. Eva is good and wishes she could distance herself from it. She doesn't tell others whom she is related to until she has to. When Eva meets Joshua she thinks he could be the one only he's keeping secrets too. This was a short but good read. I liked their relationship more than the little mystery although I wanted to see how it would work out.

6) Twisted Bonds by Danielle Jacks ~ 5*
Magic Realms and Shifting Wolves make up this great story! Prince Titan needs a wife and heir. Rose wants to get close to the Prince bc his family stole her covens magic. They're enemies but can't help but fall for each other. I really liked this story and am eager to read more by this author.

2) Wicked Proposal by Sienna Grant ~ 3*
Emily fell in love with Troy when she was 19yrs. He treated her beautifully and said he loved her too. She gave him her virginity and was happy. Until he ghosted her right after in favor of being her fathers mini me. Ten years later and they are finally dealing with what happened all those years ago. I have mixed feelings about this story. I liked almost everything about it except that Troy never really apologized or explained why he treated Emily the way he did. He was too arrogant for me. Not arrogant in the hot, I'm amazing and I know it, way. He was arrogant in the, I'm just a straight up dick, way.

22) Lies In Powder by Cassandra Cripps ~ 3*
The ONLY story with OM cheating!
So there were some things I really liked about this (Damian and the storyline) but most things I didn't (Kalena's behavior and lies). I wanted to enjoy this more and if Kalena had finally opened up to Damian about her past and what she was going through it would have gotten five stars. I didn't need her to admit what she did for the drugs and her reckless cheating. Even though it wasn't "typical" cheating bc she was desperate. Still, I was okay with Damian not knowing that.

7) Seven Year Itch by Lindsay Becs ~ 5*
If you've been married for awhile and you have kids you WILL understand and LOVE this story! A couple that still love each other but have been feeling more like roommates hope this isn't the beginning of the end of their marriage. It was sad but so beautiful. I adored every single thing about it. 💜💜💜

18) Deadly Intentions by Anise Storm ~ 5*
Amazing!! Viviana's best friend was murdered by the head of the mafia. She vows to get revenge and ten years later she's almost ready. That is until the mobsters son, Nazario, begins to interfere. I loved this so much! This was one I really wished was a full novel rather than a short story. Author is new to me but I plan to check her out right away!

FAVORITE STORY: Slight Of Hand OR Seven Year Itch
LEAST FAVORITE: 1886

[Bex (Beckie Bookworm) · Rating 4 out of 5]

My review is for darker shades by Hart de lune and I was ever so excited when I realised that this novella focuses on Jackson Reed who we have been previously introduced to. Jackson getting involved with the Cortez brothers might just be biting off more than he can chew as his deal with them places him in a precarious position one that then manages to kick start his deeply buried conscience.

Jackson isn’t a good man never claimed to be but this situation has even tested his limits and he can’t seem to ignore his natural instincts to rescue the girl his every instinct is screaming to save. To do so will turn his life upside down and paint a big fat target on his back.

Naja and Jackson find each other in the midst of all this chaos her presence sparking something alight in Jackson that he can’t ignore. This was definitely edge of your seat stuff and I had this uncomfortable feeling of dread throughout. It was gripping and well written and also encompasses other series as it’s set in the same world. I voluntary reviewed a copy of darker shades.

🎲 These Chaotic Thoughts by Abigail Davies (MF)
RATING: 4⭐️ — dual first person POV

📢 type of cheating: the system 🤷🏽‍♀️

REVIEW: I can honestly say I’m not really sure where or how the cheating played into this story.
Did Lena bend the rules? Absolutely.
Did Theo bend his own personal standards? Yes he sure did.
But how does that equate to cheating? Not necessarily, unless you consider they cheated the proverbial system. They found the loophole that allowed them to be together. The cop and the criminal living happily ever after. Overall the chemo Lena and Theo have is something to aspire to. It’s that instant comfortability that many don’t achieve until years of marriage. It’s what tells you no matter what assumed wrong the committed they were destined to always be together.
There is much more to this story and I can only hope we are treated to an extended rerelease in the future.

Side note: the author is based in the UK. There is no physical location listed in this story, so it could realistically be anywhere in the world. And any assumed misspellings or grammatical errors are actually British English instead of the more commonly seen American English.

🖤 rookie undercover officer 🖤 infamous thief 🖤 British English 🖤

🎲 Caught by Cole Denton (MM)
RATING: 4.5 ⭐️ — dual first person POV

📢 type of cheating: Academic Dishonesty

BLURB: I have wonderful parents. They did their best to raise me right. I was taught that cheating is never okay. That honesty and communication are important in all relationships. And that I should be respectful of authority figures.  Then, a lot of things happened.  Now, I find myself second guessing everything I've been taught. My parents are good people. But am I? I always thought I was. Until I was caught.
📝 this is the beginning of the NEW series Redemption

REVIEW: This story is a complex mesh of issues that unfold in heartbreaking fashion. Justinas Andris came to America at thirteen with his family after he loss his mother, best friend, and home to a violent act of homophobia. An act the Justinas believes is his fault due to his orientation.

Fast forward to the present and we meet Justin, a nineteen year old college freshman. A man who’s learning to survive in an expensive city rife with opportunity. His father and brother work two jobs to ensure he can succeed and become a biomedical engineer. His life’s goal is to help people like his little sister who suffer from Batten’s Disease, a group of fatal genetic disorders.

Meeting Professor Lucas Grant had me giddy realizing this was shaping up to be a student-teacher romance. But then the high school bully entered the scene and I was almost sad thinking this was going to be a college bully romance. Thankfully Cole delivered and Lucas is going to rival my infatuation with Griffin from the Greed series!

🖤 19yo college student 🖤 51yo university professor 🖤 sibling with Batten disease 🖤 survivors guilt 🖤 homophobia 🖤 bullying 🖤


.
.
🎲 Broken Sky by Persephone Autumn (MF)
RATING: 5⭐️ — dual first person POV

📢 type of cheating: embezzlement & miscommunication with major OW drama. Law said, and I quote “Yes, we dated. I broke it off. More than once. But she hasn’t gotten the memo.“

BLURB: He watches me from the other end of the bar. Eyes never leaving my profile. I should know… relationships only spell trouble. A man that good looking doesn’t come without a price. But his charm is irresistible, as is how it feels to be in his arms. One night with Lawrence and I never want to let go. One night with Lawrence flips our lives upside down. But Lawrence is mine. My enemy claims otherwise. And not only am I prepared to go to war, I’m ready to fight dirty. There’s a storm brewing in Stone Bay, Washington. Which of us will survive unscathed?

REVIEW: I wasn’t expecting so much mystery and intrigue to be packed into this short story. What starts off as an innocent, seemingly ONS quickly turned into a live connection with a heavy dose of drama. Law’s exgirlfriend refuses to take the blatant dismissal of their relationship, soon enough we begin to guess why. But the pieces were hidden well enough in this story to leave you guessing most of the time. But it was the way Law and his little phoenix Sky were together that has me longing for more. He is protective yet sweet. He desires her as much as she does him but understands boundaries and allows her space. He doesn’t push until he knows she ready and then he unleashes in fantastically brutal fashion.

And I don’t want to give anything away so I’ll end with this, Persephone can we PLEASE have a book about the criminals in this story and how that came to be. I’m dying to see their story play out, obviously before the events of this story.

🖤 23yo social media manager 🖤 39yo investment banker 🖤 crazy ex OW drama 🖤 stalkers, yes plural 🖤 mystery & deceit 🖤

🎲 Seven Year Itch by Lindsay Becs
RATING: 5⭐️ because it about killed me emotionally - three characters, first person POV

📢 type of cheating: be mad, skim, but just read it. It’s an emotional roller coaster this shows how it should happen what love really can be for two people

BLURB: I have everything I ever wanted. Every dream come true with the house, the picket fence, the beautiful children. The perfect husband. Why am I so unhappy then? I’m on this merry-go-round that keeps spinning, and I can never seem to get off. Each morning comes around with more of the same, over and over and over again. I’m drowning in self-pity, feeling alone and starved of what I’m hungering for. Then I see a break in the clouds, and it’s beautiful—he’s beautiful. And all of a sudden, I can breathe again as the ride stops and I step off to walk toward something new and exciting. Maybe he’s the change I’ve been needing…

REVIEW: this story is too realistic. I read to escape, I do not read to be thrust into a mini midlife crisis for a married mother of three. It starts off VERY much like the series sex/life on Netflix. And even while I was mad and wanted to quit this story it bugs me not to know if I missed the damn twist, especially when I was enjoying the writing. And Jesus fuckin’ Christ! This one damn near fuckin’ broke me!

Coming from someone who was so excited for this one...
To those who are wondering , Nope this book does not have any actual cheating 🤣🤣🤣
I heard on FB that in one of the books the H cheats on "Death" and it has other type of cheating like lying.

so yeah... I was mislead too 🤣🤣🤣 Thank god I stumbled upon that post on Facebook because I was totally gonna buy this one today lmao🤣 Although the blurb looks good and it has some of my read-before authors so I might just give it a try later? Let's see.

My review of each story as I read them -


Darker Shades by Hart De Lune - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I absolutely loved reading Darker Shades. This novella has been written perfectly. Not only do we have a fabulous story that I devoured in one sitting, but also a fantastic introduction to The House of Skin series which I cannot wait to be released!

This anthology piece is gripping, exciting and explosive! The outcome of the situation that Naja and Jackson find themselves in was never a certainty as there are many twists and turns throughout the story that could have led them down multiple different paths – and I loved this. There are moments when my heart hurt for Naja and her sister Miri. However, without the Cortez brothers, Jackson and Naja never would have met and I cannot wait to discover what happens next. The mention of the Canes and Landon Broderick brought out the biggest smile on my face, and if you have read both the Cane and The Broderick Saga series you’ll understand why! If you haven’t, then please do! I highly recommend both to you to read.

Whether Charlotte E. Hart and Rachel De Lune are writing individually or creating incredible stories together as Hart De Lune, I am never disappointed. Darker Shades is the first novella I have read in this anthology, and it has set the bar at a very high standard for the stories that follow!

My review is for Wicked Proposal, by Sienna Grant.

Holy Hotness batman, this story was simply amazeballs.
Where do I start. Okay so, this is Emily and Troy's story, and the chemistry between the two sizzles. It's a second chance romance, with a twist.
My heart broke for Emily, and as much as I wanted to slap Troy, I couldn't help but love him too. This story is one I have no hesitation recommending, it left me longing for more of these amazing characters story.
If the rest of the stories in this anthology is half as good as this one, it will be worth the money and more.
5 massive stars

I'm reviewing Trained & Broken by Rae B. Lake.

The story of Savage & Genesys will have you on the edge of your seat. The transformation they both go through will pull a myriad of emotions from you. It's dark & lovingly brutal & a must read. Thanks for the amazing ride Rae 😊

[Night Owl Book Blog · Rating 5 out of 5]

Caught by Cole Denton

Cole Denton delivers gold with his dark, unique twists in Caught. The storyline is fantastically weaved with family, tragedy, loss, perseverance, hope and magnetic chemistry between the two main male characters. This short story has all the elements that I love, MM, age-gap, dark romance. The characters are layered and come to life on the pages. Rami in particular will pull on even the darkest of heart strings. Family circumstances and responsibilities are pitted against Justin as he wants to go further in his academic career. Professor Grant sees so much potential in Justin and something else he badly wants. Can Justin balance his home life with study life to have the future he wants or will he have to resort to underhanded tactics to ensure it?
Highly recommended!

[Rhonda · Rating 5 out of 5]

I haven't had time to read all of the stories but to be honest, I was hesitant about diving into this as I'm not a fan of "cheating". But these stories are a different "take" on it and especially Kay Elle Parker's story. That just amazed me at how she pulled me into it. I'm not going to say much about it but I will say that if you like paranormal stuff, Kay's story is one you will enjoy! All in all, I've really enjoyed what I've read.

Review for twisted bonds Danielle Jacks 5*s

Rose Wolfbane is a young girl who's sister has sent her on a mission to find and retrieve the moon stone that was taken from there family by the Dutchman Coven.
Titan is the Prince of Dutchman, when they meet it seems like instant attraction, for the prince. Rose has a job to do. I don't want to say much for giving it away. It's a great read with things you don't see coming. The characters are believable, but not always nice.

[Sandra Loves Reading · Rating 5 out of 5]

My review is for Darker Shades, in the Cheaters Anthology and for me, it's a 5 star read.
Jackson wants more than he has. And that leads to the Cortez Brothers. Really nasty pieces of work! They were so well written in their awfulness, that I hated reading about them!!!
But Jackson himself has a darker side too - and he definitely is no saint!
When the Cortez brothers take over and start trading, Jackson isn't that happy with the situation...particularly as there's a young woman there, Naja, that he's drawn to, even though he knows it's wrong...
As they seem to have a "spark", when things go awry, Jackson becomes protective of Naja and what ensues is an absolute pleasure to read...and then there was a twist...
Read and enjoy!

Lies in Powder is one of my favs in this fantastic anthology. It’s dark, twisty, and just what I needed right now. I enjoy reading authors I love and finding new to me ones. This anthology is perfect for those who love the dark side. It will certainly leave you wanting even more. If you haven’t clicked yet, what are you waiting for?!

My review is in relation to S. Firecox’s Colorful Temptations that is a part of this anthology.

I absolutely loved this short story. Where the author has left is is a temptation indeed. Which is apt because of the title of this book. This author has drawn the reader in with very little effort and made it so that you want to know how the ending is going to go.

Can’t wait to read more of this particular story.

I did read some of the other stories in this anthology and I really enjoyed them too. They’re fun teasers that set up the rest of the stories to come. And it has introduced me to some authors that I wouldn’t normally have read or seen prior to this. Highly recommend!

I read Lindsay Becs's Seven Year Itch. This short story had me on edge. But in such a good way! It was hot. But it definitely has a sense of reality to it because honesty a stay at home mom and the always working husband failing to get time for themselves and it trickling down to the mom being worn down. I enjoyed it so much and i loved how it ended. Lindsay did amazing with this!

Do you ever recover from being cheated and betrayed by your first love and from losing a parent only to find he has cut you off from everything including your family home?.

Welcome to Emily’s world!

Emily loved two things, Art and Troy and she gave her heart freely to both, only to have it shattered into pieces by the two Men in her life who she thought loved her and would want the best for her.

"𝙎𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙄 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙄 𝙙𝙞𝙙𝙣’𝙩."

After years apart Emily and Troy come face to face after the death of her Dad, where Emily is served another devastating blow by her Dad and in her eyes a further triumph for the man she once loved and not despises.

"𝙃𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙖 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙝𝙞𝙢."

We all know there is a fine line between love and hate, and the Chemistry between Emily and Troy is hot and intense, but is it through love or hate? This novella is a roller coaster journey and one that will leave us gasping for more. Troy is more than what we expect and Emily is confident, strong and capable. But is she capable of winning the gauntlet that Troy has just thrown out?

Sienna has started a journey with the characters in Wicked Proposal and who knows where it will end.

I read deadly intentions by Anise Storm that is about of this set of books and let me just tell you guys it’s amazing 😻 I loved it from the beginning I couldn’t put it down it does only have 11 chapters sadly I wish it was longer. That’s because I love the story and the characters not cause it is missing any holes in the story. The main girl character is a strong independent woman who doesn’t talk no’s from anyone and will do anything to get what she came for done! Which I don’t blame her whatsoever if I could do it for my love ones I would too! :) the son of the very mess up father seems like a very hottie guy who in my opinion as a bad boy vipers to me has a plan of his own and his surprised to someone in his way. So what happens when two very stubborn people want the same thing but once to do the deed themselves but keeps getting in each other way. Also they both can’t stop thinking of each one and their hands to themselves find out how it all goes down in this awesome fun book!!! :)

Solid Anthology

One of the things that I love the most about anthologies is discovering new authors or to refamiliarize myself with old favorites. I also love to see all the varying ways that they are going to take a theme and make it there own. This was really true with this book because in my mind, and factoring in romance, I thought cheating was going to only mean one thing. I was wrong. There are many ways to cheat.

Some stories left me wanting more and others were fine where they finished. There were a couple that I struggled with, however, that's to be expected in any anthology or series. This was a solid one and will have me looking into some of these authors for more.

THE PANEL BY A.R. THOMAS
I have no words!
That was bloody amazing!
Fast paced.
Full of angst.
The chemistry was of the charts.
Jamieson is everything and more. So cocky and arrogant. So swoony though. He is pure and utter filth. Dangerously dark and delicious. I love him.
Avery is just perfect, the cheekiness and the sass. I adore her. And the brothers. What a group these lot are. But although there is much darkness you can see the care and love they have for each other.
I'm so intrigued as to where this goes. I highlighted so much, theres something about this lot.
A.R. Thomas is one of my one click authors. And I was not disappointed. I loved it!!

My review is for Caught by Cole Denton.

Another captivating read by Cole Denton! Once I started Caught I didn't want to stop. Spectacular storyline. Exquisite writing. This short story is a real treat with characters you want to embrace. Caught is full of emotion - sadness, anger, guilt, insecurities, love, and romance. Justin is a suberbly crafted character. Lucas is the character to "save" Justin. This age-gap, dark romance will have you on the edge of your seat. I wasn't ready for Justin and Lucas' story to end. Another 5-star, heart-warming read from Cole Denton.

Caught by Cole Denton

Cole never fails to deliver. This dark, twisted story is filled with angst and tragedy, but also with optimism and so much heat! Justin is filled with guilt and grief over his past, but still strives to work at a better life for him and his family. When circumstances bring him to Lucas, will he be able to overcome the stigma he placed upon himself? Cannot wait to read more about these two!

Deadly Intentions is thrilling, enthralling, steamy and a book that I could not put down.
Viviana and Nazario live for the same goal. Seeking out their target and becoming entanlged within each other during the process. A story that felt real, had me hooked from the beginning and I an hanging out for the extended version!
A book that is very well written, which is a must for me.

Beta Read for A.R Thomas - The Panel.

Jamieson and Avery are definitely one hell of a couple. The chemistry and steam between these two is insane. Jamieson is cocky, Filthy, dangerous and just pure book boyfriend material. Avery is beautiful, smart and sassy as hell! It's the perfect fast paced intense read that will keep you wanting more!

This dark romance Anthology has something for every reader! Two of my favorites including were Wicked Proposal by Sienna Grant and Trained and Broken by Rae B. Lake. Whether you loved a great second chance romance with a big twist, or an alpha-hole Dom, or a delicious PNR, it's all inclusive. This anthology was dark and gritty, sensual and arousing and a great reading escape.

[Janet Harrall · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is my review for Wicked Proposal by Sienna Grant. I love her work and this was no exception. Emily and Troy’s story is a sizzling second chance romance with a few twists and turns on the way. The chemistry between them is off the charts but a relationship could be too. Loved the characters and the story.
