Review: As Night Falls (Connelly Crime Family Book 3) by KB Winters

Review of As Night Falls (Connelly Crime Family Book 3) by KB Winters


AS NIGHT FALLS

When Margo and Rourke are kidnapped by the Milanos, the two bond over their mutual circumstances. Margo thinks Rourke is as much a victim as she. Oh sure, she's pretty sure he's not exactly a saint, being that he's most likely as much a mobster as the men who kidnapped them, but he at least appears to be a stand up guy. Well at least as much of a stand up guy that a mobster can be. But he soon proves her wrong when he holds her hostage at the Connelly family's compound, after they escape the Milanos. Now all Margo has to occupy her mind as she whiles away her captivity, is figuring out a way to escape, and just how much she hates her father and Rourke, and all the criminal men just like them. The kind of men who take innocents like her and drag them into their dirty lifestyle, without so much as a peep of consent.

But Margo's body is a traitorous bitch, and it wants Rourke as much as ever, and it seems to be having its way with her heart, too. Will she allow her heart to sway her head? She knows better than to ever trust the liar that Rourke really is, though, much to Rourke's dismay, his anger.

I think Margo is my favorite KB Winters heroine. She's tough as hell, seriously independent, and so damn street smart and wise. Honestly, I thought she was a million times too good for Rourke, whom I didn't like at all. I hated that she fell for a liar and a criminal, the very same kind of man as her father, the man who got her kidnapped in the first place. But the heart wants what the heart wants, so I guess I can give Rourke a pass, but only because I adored Margo so much. KB Winters never fails to bring the heat and the action in her whether it's her MC series (loved the Reckless Bastards cameos in this one!), her military series, or her mafia series like this one in the Connelly Crime Family series, and As Night Falls has plenty of both, enough to satisfy any romantic suspense lovers out there.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
