Kelly Finley Make Him: A Single Dad/Alpha Dom Romance

 

Welcome to my luxury hotel; welcome to my taboo hell.

Nobody knows Luca Mercier lives two lives.

In one, I’m a lonely billionaire — a widowed, protective father. 

In the other, I have demands. I have urges. 

I crave watching others submit to my whip. 

And I keep a tortured vow.

Until her. 

In a moment of weakness, I devoured a powerful woman one night.

Though I left her, I gave her my twisted heart.

I’m obsessed. Touch her, and you’ll die.

But my dark ways pose a serious threat to my daughter. I need help, someone who will fight for her too.

And it’s Scarlett Jones — the woman I left that brutal, beautiful night.

I vowed never to touch her again. To never love again.

Unless she makes me.

From the “Queen of Spice,” author Kelly Finley, comes a single-dad, billionaire, dark romance standalone. Make Him is an angsty why choose, with forced workplace proximity and serious touch-her-and-die vibes. These characters also appear in other books in the author’s steamy world.

Nicole Baker The Last Time (Isle of Hope Book 1) (Isle of Hope Series) Book 1 of 2: Isle of Hope Series

 

Call my high school crush to repair my childhood vacation home? Yes, please.

Although, I haven't seen him in almost a decade. He's probably married, bald, and sporting a beer belly.

Spoiler alert: He's not bald!

He's somehow even more alluring now than he was when I was seventeen. Only now, he's a mean/grumpy mess of a man with a three old daughter that he's struggling to take care of on his own.

Even with his grunts and sharp words, I'm still powerless to stop myself from crushing on him all over again.

When I learn about the tragedy in his life, I even start to sympathize with him.

As the summer progresses, we start to get to know each other. I see some of the man I used to know come back.

Things heat up between us. We can no longer deny what has developed.

Then I discover his big secret. The one that's been tearing him up on the inside, keeping him from moving on and finding peace with his past.

That was when everything took a turn, and I'm not sure if we'll ever recover.

Claire Hastings Seein' Red: A Small Town, Enemies to Lovers Romance (Hickory Hills Book 4) Book 4 of 4: Hickory Hills

 

There’s a thin line between love and hate. Good thing I have excellent balance.

If only that was enough.

Willa Hayes and I have a long history. We went from friends to enemies to frenemies…with benefits. The benefits part is our secret though. 

Not how I’d prefer it, but after what I did, I’m lucky she still talks to me at all.

Our chemistry is undeniable. An addictive push and pull that has taken on a life of its own. One that fuels the long burning flame deep within me.

None of our friends have any idea that she and I have been sneaking around for the better part of a decade. Neither does anyone else in our small Georgia town. And if word were to get out, that would be the end of us. 

That is, until Willa drops a bomb I never saw coming. It’s the last thing I expected – but also the perfect chance to show her who I really am. To be the man I wasn’t ten years ago. The man she deserves.

This is our chance for a happy ending. It’s now or never. As long as I don’t screw it up again.

My Review, Thoughts, & No Spoiler’s. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ by ME!!!

I really love how Claire Hastings can craft a story. This one definitely did not disappoint this reader. I absolutely loved this story. I was invested and taken in from the moment I started this book. I loved reading about Nash & Willa. These two had plenty of chemistry and I also enjoyed the side characters. I cannot say how much I enjoyed this story. Definitely one that will stay with me for awhile.

Cassidy

I always want what I can’t have:
My business to succeed through winter.
Someone to kiss me goodnight without the pressure to settle down and start a family.
And now, my old high school flame.

When Callum moves in across the hall, he is just as handsome and flirtatious as I remember. Years ago, I thought we were perfect together. But our worlds now are far too different. Mostly because of the other girl in his life. His daughter.

Callum

This is not the life I planned:
A broken marriage.
A bitter custody battle.
And an undeniable attraction to the woman I shouldn’t want.

Cassidy is a ghost from my past. A reminder of the old me. The one who was carefree and thought the best of people, instead of the worst.

And I can’t shake the feeling that our lives have been thrown back together for a reason. I just need to convince her that we’ll work this time.

Because of Her is a steamy romance about friendship, love and accepting the unexpected. A standalone story, it is the first full length novel in Bookstagrammer Devon May’s Because of Love series.

Leaving behind a shadowy past marred by a drug-addicted mother, her mother’s abusive drug dealer boyfriend, and the torment of a truck driver exploiter named Rick. Isla Frank is bound for the vibrant lights of New York City as a new fashion design school student with the love and support of her adopted dads.

Fate intervenes when her roommate persuades her to attend an off-Broadway audition. Little does Isla know that this single decision will alter the trajectory of her life.
