“You can trust me.” - Phoenix Rising Series by Alexandra Christian

"Just when I think I can finally give up on romance, I find a book like this. [...] This book is so far beyond the current norm for action-adventure and sci-fi romance it's almost ridiculous. [...] There's world-building here that rivals most of the Nebula and Hugo winners I've read lately. This is book one in a series, and I couldn't be more thrilled. Not to be missed." book #1 Lucy Blue, Goodreads

Welcome to ... Bluebird, Texas Romances by Ann Everett

was she keeping the secrets they expected her to keep? Five Gems Series by E. Kaiser Writes

"All I can say is, you're gonna keep on guessing till the end of the book who the villain really is...the author's subtlety is one of the best things about the story.
