This Wolfish Player needs some love

Hi, book buddies :-) This summer is full of bubbly stories from Whitney G. I dare not miss any ;-)

This is the second novella in the Steamy Latte Reads Collection.

 

Subject: Congratulations! We are thrilled to offer you an advance on your next book!

The moment I got that email, I swore my days of being a broke indie author were officially over.

I bought a new house, traveled, splurged on things I definitely didn’t need… and, um—kind of forgot to actually write the book.

By the time my deadline rolled around, I had almost nothing to show for it. My endless “Just need a little more time for my muse” excuses weren’t cutting it anymore.

So, I swallowed my pride and came clean—while hatching a plan to get “inspiration” and pay back some of the advance at the same time. The plan? Get a job at the very publishing company that gave me the deal, so I could:

 

1) Make money to keep a roof over my head.

2) Start repaying the advance.

3) Gather firsthand material for the office romance I was two years late delivering.

 

It sounded like a good idea… until I actually got the job.

Until I realized the CEO of the publishing house was an arrogant, cunning wolf in a bespoke suit

The same man I told to f*ck off two nights ago.

The same man I may have thrown a drink on (but that’s a story for another day).

Now I swear being his so-called “intern” is an exercise in hell… and from the way he’s circling me, I have no intention of being his prey.

MY OPINION of WOLFISH PLAYER


I love this kind of novella. I know it's going to be filled with laughs and a challenging couple. Heather and Adrian didn't disappoint. She comes up as a bit unhinged and he cannot be bothered to be polite even if it kills him. However, I smiled and laughed a few times with their belligerent relationship. 

I absolutely loved the office romance combined with the publishing industry. It's crazy fun. Writer's block, launching campaigns and book tours take here a sometimes dreamy and oftentimes chaotic turn. The CEO is a devil and his employees are saints, but they love their work because writing and reading stories is the best thing ever. Yay.

I read the story in one go to enjoy the passion for romance stories, readers's commitment to cliffhangers, the author's wild sense of humor and the twisty ending. Steamy, sardonic, fun. Perfect.

Warning: Forbidden romance ahead

Hi, book buddies :-) I'm back once more with news about a new book by Whitney G. This time it's not so much on the fun side but on the edgy and emotional. 

This is the third standalone in the angsty/toxic Forbidden Wishes series

 

Truth or dare?


"I dare you to stop pretending like you still want to be a virgin when you're around me…"
 
As much as I wanted to say those words to Emily O'Hara after the night we first met, I never did.
Instead, I dared myself to leave her alone.
 
But I lost that game.
I gave up trying to win.
 
She was the first girl who didn't run when she found out how damaged I was.
I was the first guy who could read through her sexy sarcasm with ease.
 
Our connection was toxic and fiery, but we had to douse the flames before getting any closer.
We realized she could never be mine, and I could never be hers.
 
I was days away from becoming her stepbrother.

 

💜


I WISH I WOULD'VE WARNED YOU

Genre: Forbidden romance


MY OPINION


Lyrical, provocative and dancing on the edge of dark drama. I'm always down for this author's romcoms, yet when she writes these novels filled with beautiful words and sad themes, she excels and I'm happy.

Forbidden romance between a girl who aspires to become a poet and his soon-to-be stepbrother who's drowning in his dark past. Easy to read, yet packs some intense feelings. Family secrets, toxic entanglements, the clash between public image and private pain. The characters feel a powerful connection, but they have to deal with expectations and self-destruction. Or are there some twists that change everything for them?

I really liked the heat this couple shares, and their undeniable feelings mixed with a terrible family circus. Pretty little poems abound as well as a hard-earned realisation of their worth.

A dark romance cover reveal

 Hi, book buddies :-) This week, I bring you a cover reveal. I love the combination of black and red, of danger and feminity. What do you think?

SOFT TISSUE DAMAGE


Author: Lilith Vincent

A boyfriend's Dark Dad Romance

Series: Deadly Hearts #2

Dark Romance / Age Gap

Cover Design: Soren Designs

Release Date: September 24, 2025



His obsession for me is deadly,

and I’m falling prey to his pleasure.


There’s never been any security in my life. After being dumped on indifferent relatives as a child, it hurt when I realized that no one was ever going to protect me.

But Cullan, my boyfriend’s father, makes me feel safer than any man I’ve ever known. He’s twice my age and  totally forbidden, but his protective embraces, deep voice, and inked muscles have awoken things in me that I shouldn’t want.

When darkness swallows me, it’s Cullan who pulls me into his strong arms and leads me back into the  light. He gives me protection, and a job as a nanny to his very young child. But I suspect that Cullan is drenched in his own darkness. There’s a killer on the loose in the city, and I think I know the identity of the man behind the red mask.

My instincts tell me to run from Cullan as fast as I can, but my boyfriend’s father has stolen my heart with hands that are soaked in blood.

And though it should be impossible, I think I’m having his baby.


Author’s note:
Soft Tissue Damage is a standalone
boyfriend’s father MF romance with dark
themes, a twenty-year age gap,
the hero as the other man, breeding,
a jealous and possessive alphahole,
and a sweet but strong virgin heroine.
This book features appearances of
characters from Fear Me, Love Me.
The story is dark, dirty and delicious,
so please read at your discretion.


Read an exciting excerpt

I put my hands on Elena’s waist and slowly back her against a bookcase. “You didn’t tell Leon about our kiss?”

Elena shakes her head. She's in the circle of my arms with my head bent over her.
 
“Why didn’t you tell him?”

“We made a mistake because of the intense situation.” But she looks conflicted. Because she doesn’t know what she wants, or because she doesn’t know if she’s allowed to have it?

 I bend my head lower toward her lips and whisper, “Was it a mistake?”
 
Is there a chance she doesn’t want Leon, and she wants me instead? Her mouth is parted, and her eyes are filled with longing. Does she ever look at Leon like this, or is this needy expression just for me? We’re so close that her face is just inches from mine. 


“Elena, how attached are you to my son?”

I know what I’d say if she wasn’t dating my son. Be a good girl and tip those pretty lips up for a kiss. But first I have to know how she feels.
 
“Cullan…” she breathes.

I cup her jaw and slide my thumb over her full lips. Elena closes her eyes and arches her throat as I touch her, and desire pours through me. She shouldn’t say my name like that and respond to my touch like that if she wants me to back off. 

I have to know if I have a chance with her. “Tell me. How much do you really want my son?”

Two treats, two reads

Hi book buddies :-) By now, you know that I will always read any book by Whitney G. Even a thriller! Which is one of the two books that she has graced us with this week. Here they are for our pleasure.


PRETTY CRUEL LOVE

 
An intense and intoxicating thriller with a sensual twist.

Sadie Pretty has spent the last several years of her life behind bars, wrongfully convicted of first-degree murder. Upon being considered for parole, she's sent to an experimental program with esteemed Doctor Ethan Weiss.

Two weeks in a secluded cabin is all he needs to determine if she's a risk to society, but every minute spent with her makes him question his own morals, and before he knows it, he's crossing the line in more ways than one...


MY TOTALLY UNFAIR DEAL

Eliza Hart doesn't do heels, small talk, or sitting still—especially not for some uptight finance bro in a three-piece suit. But when her brother ropes her into a crash course in “ladylike behavior” to help land the deals that could save their crumbling family business, she finds herself stuck in Manhattan with the cockiest bastard on earth: Harrison Jones. Polished, smug, and irritatingly hot, Harrison owes her brother a favor—and apparently, that favor includes turning Eliza into Manhattan's newest social darling.
 
But in between champagne toasts, disastrous dinner parties, and one very memorable wardrobe malfunction, their love-hate banter turns into heat neither of them can ignore. And in Harrison's sleek Manhattan penthouse, the only thing more dangerous than the high heels… is the sexual tension.
 
Eight weeks. One uptight gentleman. One hot mess.
What could possibly go wrong?

Now that I've read both books, here are my opinons :-)

PRETTY CRUEL LOVE 

A psychological thriller with the author's twisty, snarky stamp. I pretty liked it. Darker than what I'm used to from this writer, it's still highly engaging and full of mind games.

It seems the main character is a female convict accused of notorious crimes and sentenced to prison who is accepted for an experimental and controversial medical programme. From the start, the reader never knows if Sadie is innocent or not despite the insurmountable evidence against her. I know I rooted for her because she is a victim of the system and the cruelty of men. However, the enigma surrounding the crimes and her attitude towards interrogations, media and the medical programme is intriguing. 

Is Doctor Weiss trying to analyse her mind for his own pleasure or is he genuinely striving to help her? Sadie harbours more secrets than she lets on and her days in the medical facility are filled with strange methods, intense surveillance and the allure of an increasingly unethical doctor. The excitement is served.

Quick, mysterious and engaging. I love how boundaries are crossed, the naughty heat between the characters and the dark truth behind the events in the past and how they bleed into the current plot. Interesting turn for this author's writing. I wouldn't mind reading more of the kind.


MY TOTALLY UNFAIR DEAL

A modern version of My Fair Lady, this entertaining romance is fun and well-thought out.

Ill-tempered Eliza is free and wild in her family farm. However, her days of foul-mouthed persecution of unfairness are over when her brother coerces her into a rehabilitation programme to curate her manners, language and attitude in the hands of cold, handsome city man Harrison. She's all fire and untamed beauty, and he's icy efficiency and distance. Of course, frontal collision between the two provoke funny encounters, challenging dialogues and melting bedsheets galore.

Even though the poor girl suffers quite a lot with this pruning system, the whole process is highly entertaining and she comes out victorious. From strong duckling to successful swan, Eliza takes Manhattan by storm and it's so fun to watch. I enjoyed the beauty sessions for the dreamy transformation they symbolise and I think everything related to the farm business and plans are very interesting. 

On the other hand, the romance is quick and hot as it usually is with this writer. There's a point where perhaps I'd have made Harrison explain his harsh behaviour better. I'm not saying he didn't suffer for his own mistakes, but sometimes their communication faltered :-D Despite that, I found all the characters and their stories interesting, and perhaps we could have someone else's story too. That farm is a good scenario for more romances.

💜

Keep calm and read on.

Darkly read: Cup of Lies

Hi, book buddies :-) The feeling of wellness when you finish a good trilogy, am I right? 

So here is my recommendation to fans of dark romance. It's an amazing trilogy, but proceed with caution. Dark themes ahead.

CUP OF LIES

Author: K Webster

Series: The Crown Conspiracy, book three

Release Date: May 30, 2025

Purchase Link: https://geni.us/colkwevent


From USA Today Bestselling author K Webster comes a new dark captive romance… 


Synopsis

I’m trapped in a lie.
They’ve twisted my mind so that I barely recognize who I am anymore. In this new prison, I’m the devoted wife of a brilliant, deceptive man who holds the key to my carefully constructed reality.
But something is missing and my soul aches.
As the cracks in my mind widen, fragments of a life I don’t remember claw their way to the surface. A name lingers on the edges of my thoughts and sends a shiver down my spine.
Caius.
This new life is a nightmare but not real. The truth holds steady in my heart, showing me the way. I know Caius is searching for me. We’ll soon find our way back to each other.
The people who did this to me think they’ve won and broken my mind forever.
They were wrong.
Once I find him, we’ll expose every facet of their evil empire.
Together, we will burn it all to the ground.


MY OPINION


A gritty, dark story woven with mind tricks, retaliation, hard-earned freedom and crazy evil.What an intense rollercoaster. 


My favourite book is still the second, yet this is a great finale fraught with dangers galore and surprises all around.The cliffhanger in the previous book is masterful. It left me reeling with questions and an unrelenting need to read the final book. 


So it takes off with our couple in an upside down life where they have to unravel their mind state from a tangle of warped memories and muddled realities. It's awesome the way they carve out their real feelings out of that labyrinth. 


There's a lot of darkness to be survived and overcome that made me cringe. However, these characters that I've come to care and root for are fighters and they plunge ahead to protect their sanity while keeping emotional bonds alive and loved ones safe. It's really harrowing, yet also provides meaningful, tender relationships.


I loved the plot twist that makes it possible for the mind-manipulating Goliath to face their reckoning. All the characters get a worthy ending in this good-versus-evil war where the romance is as exhilarating as the action and the horror is as powerful as the love, family and hope all victims crave as their due.
