Blurb
“He believes I’m a temptation but doesn’t know he’s been mine long before I’ve been his.”


Iris
My whole life is a lie.
Driven by an obsessive crush, torrid desire, and treacherous secrets I hold dear to my heart.
Nobody is none the wiser.
Not my parents.
Not my best friends.
Not even my new fiancé.
Now, my house of cards is about to fall.
One carnal lie at a time.
And making them ruthlessly tumble is my fiancé’s older brother.
Kian Singhania.
Enigmatic. Reclusive. Menacing.
A merciless lone wolf with a heart of ice.
The man I’ve craved and burned for from the shadows,
Whose lair I’ve dared to venture into without protection.
Everyone is scared I’ll be eaten alive. Except they don’t know that I want to be.
Because he’s not the hunter.
It’s me.

Kian
My life is solitary. My world is gray.
It’s how I prefer it.
Until she walks in.
Bringing with her all the colors I was missing.
My estranged brother’s fiancée.
Iris Mannan.
Young. Softhearted. An embodiment of sunshine.
Very, very, off-limits.
One minute, she didn’t exist to me. Now, she’s everywhere.
In my office. At my club. In my building. In my apartment.
She’s all I see. Breathe. Obsess about.
Because beneath her angelic face, she holds a darkness.
That I am drawn to and want to unleash and savor.
Craving her was inevitable.
Resisting her a necessity.
Stealing her from my brother—a dangerous calamity.

MY REVIEW



Iris has been obsessed and fascinated with Kian since she first laid eyes on him years ago. But now she's fake engaged to his estranged brother, so she's not supposed to be obsessed with him any longer. Of course, she is, and when she goes to work for him, that obsession grows to unbearable limits. She's seeing him for who he is, not that grumpy image he projects, and she's not only obsessed but falling deep in love with him. Her secrets, though, could be the end of them...


Kian's heart has been frozen for a long time. He doesn't do emotions or feelings, aside from projecting stoicism and grumpiness. Then this ray of...something in the form of Iris bulldozes her way into his life. Suddenly he's becoming obsessed with her, and it's not a good thing, because she's engaged to his brother, part of the family he's no longer a part of himself. He may not exactly love his brother, but he still knows she's as off-limits as one can be, even as he wants to claim every part of her, especially her heart. All the forced proximity is whittling away at his restraint, and he's minutes from snapping, her engaged status be damned!


Iris is such a cool little stalker! I love that she's the obsessed one, well, the FIRST one to be obsessed, and does not refrain in any way from crushing on him when she starts working for him. I knew Kian didn't stand a chance at resisting her for long, and quickly became as obsessed with her as she was with him. She gets him, sees him, in a way no one else does, just the first way she's absolutely perfect for him, and vice versa. There's an awful cliffhanger, though, and now I'm waiting, very impatiently, for Illicit Games, so I can find out how the author plans on getting this deliciously naughty couple out of the mess they were in at the end of Carnal Games.

Review Blitz: The Challenge by Penelope Ward

Title: The Challenge: A Single Dad Romance Author: Penelope Ward Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance Tropes: Single Dad, Second Chance, Forced Proximity Friends to Lovers, Small Town, Found Family Release Date: August 30, 2026 BLURB From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE contemporary romance… Nothing says welcome home like accidentally moving in with your first heartbreak…and his little girl. Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings. Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. 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...

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
