I decided to continue with the Wild Ranch Series, and this was a perfect companion to listen to whilst working. Kelly Fox’s writing together with Declan Winters narration is just chef's kiss.

This book deep dives into a forbidden romance with heart, murder and bad behaviour. 

Nacho and Bram met when Nacho was in prison and Bram became his therapist before his upcoming release. Instantly there was a connection and a spark. 

When they met again a year after Nacho's release, the spark is still there and the dynamic they started to explore in prison takes on a whole new level. 

Not only do they partake in spicy times, they also get involved in the ranch’s secret mission to rescue and help people that have been trafficked. 

This book is a nice balance between the 2 main characters and their budding relationship and the missions they partake in. 

I love me some spice paired with some action. 

This book is all HEA with no cliffhangers. This interconnecting world Kelly Fox has created just gets better and better and more fun to read. 

 

 

This is book 6 in the Split Rock Ranch series and I may not have read them all yet but I just love all the characters and their stories. 

This is an enemies to lovers story with so much pull between the characters. Izzy may be a fun loving young man and a brat at that, but deep down he is broken and just needs the right guidance to find happiness again. 

Vet, Dr Keegan Reid is just rubbing Izzy the wrong way and their fight like no tomorrow. But it is not only their fights that are explosive, their chemistry is off the charts and Keegan needs to decide if he wants to try to tame the wild horse Izzy his, because he knows they can have a good thing if they just try. 

 

From the first chapter I was hooked, Izzy’s past just crumbled me and I wanted to give him the biggest hug and say it will be fine maybe not today or tomorrow but one day. The spice is hot but it is the emotional pull between the two that made me read the book so fast. 

Also the side characters are chef’s kiss especially Jamie.  So don’t miss his story in the novella Something Unbelievable. That one is best read instantly after Something Unavoidable because trust me you need to know what will happen. 

You can read this book as a stand alone but trust me you want to know everyone's stories so starting from the beginning is the best thing. Also this book talks about some really heavy things so read the CW before proceeding. 

 

 

This book is a slow burn with a reality show, fake dating, childhood crushes and a big dash of Lance Lansdales unhinged-ness. 

Phillip is a former boyband star and when his career needs a revival, it is decided that his life is going to be turned into a reality show. So coming back home to Tallulah to grand marshal the annual Muscadine Madness fair seems like a good idea. Because who doesn't love a comeback.

What he didn’t know heading back into town was that his childhood crush turned hate subject, Rivers, is Tallulah's mayor. What Phillips thought would be an easy visit back home becomes everything but that. 

Because when the production team realizes that they have zero drama pending, they do as every respectable reality show would do! They decided to create their own mayhem and what better way to do that than the tried and proved “falling in love” plot. Que Phillip and Rivers working together to create love magic. Not like it is hard, it is rather too easy to be swept away in their feelings, but every love story has an end or does it? Both need to work hard for that HEA and not letting the past run the future. 

This book is sweeter and less spicy than Lance's Murder Daddy Series but it still has that unhinged brand to it. I giggled like a maniac and just felt the true essence of Lance writing shining through. I don’t know how to explain it, it is just pure fun and sass mixed with tough life lessons and a smidge of hurt that somehow just makes sense. 

It has a bit of everything; cute animals, older ladies with more sass then sense, a love story between 2 side characters that you just need to know more about. I mean it. I want Jordan and Preston’s story, even if it is just a short one at that. 

Also the yoga easter egg, chefs kiss. 

 

 

I just knew after finishing The Silencer that this book would make me feel all the things. In that book Angel is portrayed as an quite sheltered and innocent young man and that the marriage to Mikhail is not as happy as he tries to make his dad and best friend think. 

These two books overlap, so I would say you will get more out of His Prince if you read The Silencer first, but it is not necessary. 

Yes, Angel is quite innocent and has been sheltered but he very quickly showcases that; you may think of me as weak but I am anything but that. When Mikhail leaves Angel after their wedding night, he steps up and shows not just his husband but everyone else around him that he is stronger and more fierce than they first thought. 

The Angel becomes the Devil!

They way Mikhail FAFO is just chef's kiss! I laughed so hard and pumped my fist in victory, never underestimate an angel. The fact that all of Mikhail's men love Angel “Little Husband” doesn't help Mikhail when he finally returns. 

The overall plot is fun and suspenseful and the side characters are intriguing and my love for Bane just grows. I don’t know what I want more; Bane or Ivan’s story. There are a couple of surprises in the later part of the book that I didn't see coming but it made it even more enjoyable to read. 

 

 

This book showcases why Kelly Fox has risen to become one of my favorite authors. 

The book is so much fun with just enough spice and feels. This is one of those books where you don’t need the spice because the plot is so good. I mean of course we get toe curling spice but we also get all the emotions. I don’t want to give too much away, but the way this book tackles the struggles of being honest about who you are and what you feel make it such a wonderful read. 

Kess and Rowdy work really well together and the way both characters grow and evolve is a testament to the trust they have in each other. There are some surprises along the way that just made me gasp and think, Oh this makes so much sense. I won’t tell what they are though, you just have to read the book. 

The guest character appearances from some of Kellys other series are hilarious and I love how all the series just keep on linking up. It makes me want to re-read the other books again.
