Lap of Luxury ebook.jpg
The Cover: I think this cover is GORGEOUS. I love the silver and the cover model is smoking! A book I definitely want in paperback form ASAP.

Basics: Lap of Luxury was released on October 22nd 2019 and is the second book the Love Don’t Cost A Thing series. Genre wise Lap of Luxury belongs to contemporary romance and dark romance.

Description: Captive. Pet. Lover. Pawn… Darkness lives inside Damir Ravnikar, and that darkness craves one thing: me. Rich, ruthless, and handsome as sin, Damir’s promised me the world to make up for my life’s myriad disappointments. But his promise comes with a price.

Damir intends to use me to hunt down his double-crossing brother. With every jewel, every kiss, I can feel myself losing my morals, my freedom and even my sanity. Because darkness lives inside me, too. He’s laying my deepest secrets bare, and there’s nothing I can do to stop him. My name is Bethany, and I’ve fallen into the lap of luxury.

***Author’s note: Contains explicit scenes, dubcon and dark romantic themes. This book is NOT a standalone. No cliffhanger.***
Lap of Luxury Teaser 2.jpg Overall thoughts: Bethany gets caught up in her boss’ mess and gets taken away by his brother, Damir. Although he is out of mind and on the run from the police, Bethany can’t help but be drawn to him and vice versa with Damir. He wants her by his side, no matter what the cost. I don’t want to get into detail without spoiling the book but this was a very dark book. I happen to like dark books but be warned, it is dark and frankly Brianna Hale is a great dark romance writer.

Overall I really loved Lap of Luxury and I wish there were a dozen more books because this series really enthralls me and I know that I will be reading these duet for years to come!

About the Author: There’s nothing Brianna Hale likes more than a large, stern alpha male with a super-protective and caring streak, and when she’s not writing about them she can usually be found with a book, a cocktail, planning her next trip to a beautiful location or attending the theatre. She believes that pink and empowerment aren’t mutually exclusive, and everyday adventures are possible. Brianna lives in London.

Review: Getting Played by Emma Chase

October 8, 2019October 8, 2019 amorettesreviewsLeave a comment

GP Cover.jpg
The Cover: I think the cover for Getting Played is very typical romance cover and it isn’t is my favorite but it is a nice cover.

Basics: Getting Played was released on October 8th, 2019 and is 241 pages. Genre wise Getting Played belongs to contemporary romance.

Description: Dean Walker is all about keeping life simple. He’s effortlessly talented and intelligent—spending his summers playing drums in the local band and the rest of the year teaching high school in the same Jersey town where he grew up. He likes his love-life simple too, enjoying the commitment-free hook-ups his good looks and sexy charm have always made oh-so easy. Then he meets Lainey Burrows. And his simple, easy life gets turned upside down.

One wild one-night stand was all it was ever supposed to be, so Lainey is shocked when she discovers that her sizzling summer fling is also her son’s new math teacher. But that’s nothing compared to the most unexpected twist of all—their hot hook-up left Lainey knocked-up, and now they’re about to become parents. Together. What ensues is an addictive, insatiable, sweet and tender romance that won’t be simple, but it will be more than worth the fight. **A stand-alone, contemporary romance.**

Overall thoughts: It’s been a hot minute since I’ve read a book by Emma Chase, so I was ecstatic to be given the opportunity to read Getting Played. The whole romance, accidental pregnancy genre when it comes to romance books isn’t my favorite thing to read about, but I was pleasantly surprised with this book.

When a one night stand turns into a bit of a Shakespearean drama, (the one night stand Lainey has with ends up being her son’s math teacher AND she finds out she’s pregnant with his child?!) Getting Played really picks up and doesn’t stop there. The twists are something I really enjoyed about this book, again with the whole one night stand turning into something even bigger…I really liked that aspect a lot. Again, the whole pregnancy romance trope isn’t my favorite, but Getting Played delivers where a romance book needs to. The trope wasn’t my cup of tea, but Emma Chase is a wonderful romance writer and any romance reader would enjoy this book!

My Rating: 5/5 Shells

Review: Mr. Mayfair by Louise Bay

October 1, 2019October 1, 2019 amorettesreviewsLeave a comment

Mr.Mayfair_Ebook.v2_BN.jpg
The Cover: I LOVE this cover! I look how it has a comic vibe and the colors are vivid and eye catching! So pretty!

Basics: Mr. Mayfair was released on October 1st 2019 and is 296 pages long. Genre wise Mr. Mayfair belongs to contemporary romance.

Description: It should be the most shocking news I’d ever gotten—My boyfriend is getting married. Okay, technically he’s my ex-boyfriend. Two months ago he decided he wanted a break. I still thought he was my happily ever after. On any other day, knowing he was gone for good would be the worst thing that could possibly happen. But not today. Because not only is my boyfriend getting married—his bride is my best friend. And they’ve sent me an invitation. There’s no way I’m going to attend. I don’t care if it’s in beautiful Scotland. Nothing and no one could convince me.

Not even when a deliciously handsome stranger tells me he needs to go as my plus one. Not even when he shoots me a wickedly, sexy smile. But then he offers me the opportunity of a lifetime—a dream come true. How can I say no? But I have one condition. He has to be my new boyfriend. I mean, my pretend new boyfriend. I’m about to find out that faking it can be a whole lot of fun.

Overall thoughts: Mr. Mayfaire by Louise Bay was a such a fun read! It actually reminded me a lot of The Wedding Date movie which was probably the reason why I loved it so much! Stella just found out her boyfriend is marrying her best friend out of the blue. From taking a break from each other to getting married out of the blue. YIKES was my first thought when I found that situation, poor Stella! To make matters worse, she even gets invited to the wedding! Stella isn’t even considering going until Beck gets involved. Beck has his own reasons for wanting to get invited to this wedding, Stella is his ticket in. He didn’t plan on falling for her, but the attraction between them grows more and more each. Both Beck and Stella wanted to go to the wedding for their own reasons, Beck for his ambition and Stella to show face that she is okay without her horrible ex-boyfriend. It’s a fake wedding date, until it isn’t.

Loved Mr. Mayfair! A great contemporary romance read with enough angst to make it even more spicer, great job Louise!
