Available Now!

The Hell Night Series continues with JW's story! A sexy sheriff and the gypsy girl that demands his attention.

 

ABOUT THE BOOK:

As the Sheriff of Malus, Texas, JW takes his oath to protect its citizens very seriously. Born from a ugly past, he swears no child, woman, or man will ever endure what he and his brothers have. As he seeks retribution of the ones who wronged him, his past and his present finally collide. Secrets are laid open. Ones that are so heinous, they’ll rock the very foundation of JW’s life.

When Eden blazes into town, hot with her own threatening troubles baring down on her, JW steps in as her protector. It’s not only his duty, but a need he can’t ignore. The chemistry between the two is instant and all too tempting.

Giving in was easy, but the consequences were high.

Little does JW know, the disturbing destruction that would rain down on Malus and its people by getting involved with the red-headed gypsy.

Danger lurks just around the corner—it’s dark, terrifying, and malicious.

JW is bitter because of his gruesome past. Eden is sweet despite hers. Together, will they create a beautiful future, or will it all end in bitter sweet hell?

My Review:

Let me just start by saying how much I love this series! The first book, Trouble in Hell introduces us to four men who have lived in a hell like situation, but grew up to vow to never let anything like that happen again. They take care of the people around them and the town that they live in. I definitely recommend reading the first book before embarking on Bitter Sweet Hell.

This story focuses on JW, the Sheriff of Malus, TX. He makes sure that everyone is following the laws of their town, but he and his three brothers, Trouble (his story can be read in Trouble in Hell), Judge and Emo also make sure that no one is abusive or getting hurt in anyway. The four of them are also trying to hunt down anyone from their past. This story was just as emotional as the first one, and the plot twist regarding JW and his family I had not seen coming.

Malus is a town that likes to keep out outsiders, but when JW pulls over Eden for speeding through their town lines, he knows he needs to help her. Eden is escaping an ex-boyfriend who has murdered women before, and is now after her.

I really loved these two characters together. They had a beautiful bond and I enjoyed seeing the closed off JW open up to Eden. I also loved being back into the world of the four brothers and we even learned more about Emo, which I am so happy about it!

The Hell Night series are not for the faint of heart. They deal with some horrible themes such as rape, murder, child sexual abuse. Despite that, they are also about healing, helping and overcoming. I love this series and I cannot wait for Judge’s story, which releases in April (Thank god I don’t have to wait a whole year for each book! I don’t know what I would do with myself!)

Review: Deke by Eden Finley

Release Date: January 9, 2019
Cover Design: Kellie Dennis / Book Cover by Design
 

Synopsis

 
Ollie
Word of advice: don’t come out to random guys in public restrooms. Even if they’re charming and adorably nerdy and offer to help. My family believe I can’t be happy if I’m not out to the world. I have a bitter ex-boyfriend and an unstable NHL career to show for it. A fake boyfriend seems like an easy and quick solution to get my family off my back, and this guy is volunteering. I take him up on it without asking his name. I really should’ve asked for his name.

Lennon
Word of advice: learn how to introduce yourself properly. In my defense, I don’t recognize Ollie Strömberg right away. I cover football, not hockey. I’m not supposed to see him again, and he’s never supposed to find out I’m a reporter. That all changes when my editor reassigns me. It’s a lesson I should’ve learned by now. Nothing’s changed since high school. Jocks still hate nerds. But even worse, athletes hate journalists. Especially ones who know their secret.

My Review:


I had not heard anything about this series before, but as soon as I saw the cover for Deke, I knew I had to read it. I loved it so much! Even though it is book 3 of the Fake Out series, I didn’t feel confused about anything and I definitely will be reading the first two books in the series. 
Deke focuses on Ollie, an out and proud hockey player to his family and best friends, but in the closet to the NHL and the rest of the world. He doesn’t want to be the first gay man out in Hockey, even though his family is pushing him to be an example to others who haven’t come out yet. Lennon is a sports journalist who meets Ollie in the bathroom while Ollie was out with his family and pretends to be his boyfriend. The two don’t see each other again until 6 months later and that is when the magic really happens! 
OMG, I loved these two characters. Ollie and Lennon were so cute together. I loved the jock and nerd aspect. I seriously could not get enough. Both were written very well and the story overall was sweet, funny and just adorable. Have you ever wanted to hug a book? I definitely hugged my kindle a few times while reading! I loved that Lennon knew Ollie’s secret, but never used it against him in his articles. The fact that he didn’t tell the world that Ollie is gay showed a lot about his character and I really loved that about him. 
I also loved all the secondary characters, including Ollie’s family. They were so amazing and real. They had their issues, but it wasn’t written fake or forced. And that scene at Ollie’s home with Lennon? I was DYING! 
Overall, Deke was such a sweet story and I highly recommend it. It was everything I could have wanted in an M/M story.
