Devils Cut

5-stars

Devil’s Cut (The Bourbon Kings #3) by J. R. Ward

EPIC! That's the word I keep coming back to when I think of this story with all its amazing conclusions and the trilogy itself. It was an epic adventure with so many twists and turns into the land of bourbon that's full of lies, deceit, hope, and love. It was truly a phenomenal story! [Full review]


 

Axel

4-stars

Axel (Corps Security #1) by Harper Sloan

(This book is currently enrolled in the Kindle Unlimited Program)

Awesome start to the series! I absolutely enjoyed this even though it stressed me the heck out. Axel was totally alpha male and a bit over the top in the beginning and I could not wait for those edges to soften. It was so worth the wait! [Full review]
