Review / Release Blitz: Kisses Like Rain (Corsican Crime Lord #4) by Charmaine Pauls


I gave him my innocence and my virtue.
I gave him my love and my hate.
Is there anything left to give?


Kisses Like Rain, an arranged marriage, enemies to lovers romance, and the highly anticipated fourth book in the dark mafia Corsican Crime Lord Series from USA Today Charmaine Pauls, is available now!


Angelo Russo came like a storm into my life and left destruction in his trail. The man who hates me beyond measure is the man who put a ring on my finger and gave me his name. My husband is my worst enemy.

There’s nothing left to salvage from the wreckage of our lives. He married me to destroy me, and he did an outstanding job. He took my innocence and my virtue. I gave him my love and my hate. And just when I think there’s nothing else to give, I realize how wrong I am. What Angelo wants most is the promise of life I carry inside my body. When he’s taken that last piece of me, he’ll crush me with a smile on his beautiful face and wipe my existence from his memory forever.

MY REVIEW


"I know what it's like when a monster falls in love with an angel."

Sabella and Angelo are at a standstill. As before, he doesn't trust her, but knows his strong feelings for her are keeping him from doing to her what he'd normally do to someone in his crew that he didn't trust. But what if he's wrong about her? What if something forces his hand and he FINALLY comes to the realization that he should have known from the very beginning?


"We started like a hailstorm that mutilated flowers and crippled trees, and we ended like a soft drizzle that nurtures the soil and leaves crystal drops on delicate petals."


The Corsican Crime Lord series has been one of Charmaine's best (and most divisive) for me. On one hand, Sabella is one of my favorite heroines of Charmaine's with her pure, innocent heart. On the other, Angelo is definitely my least favorite with his dark, angry soul, and refusal to see what was right in front of his face the whole time. He took so long to redeem himself, and he almost left it too late. Their story goes the entire spectrum from black as night with pain, anger and hatred, all the way to the other end filled with love and joy. I can't remember the last time I wanted to smack a character more than Angelo, but I will give it to him - by the end he turns into a very loving, albeit in an alphahole way, husband. I'm going to miss this couple.

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...

He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay. Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...
