Review: All Her Lies by Matt McGregor

★★★☆☆ Review: First, I would like to thank Inkubator Books for providing me with a free advanced reader copy of this book. This is my honest review. Fiction or rehearsal? Taking a job on a homestead owned by a thriller author and her husband seems like the ideal fresh start for Brie, who is escaping a controlling relationship. But being barred from using internet-enabled devices is unsettling, and is the author contemplating new twists for her next novel, or something more sinister? Brie’s entanglement in the couple’s lives leaves her questioning who can be trusted. All Her Lies starts out strong, and I quickly became engrossed in the plot. Brie is an unlikeable protagonist, but it’s hard not to root for her. As the novel progressed, though, I began to lose interest. Not only was the romantic subplot rushed and unbelievable, but the twists began to feel overdone. The story has good bones but lacks depth. Audience : adult Trigger warnings : violence Recommend...

Review: Hannah and the Hitman by Vanessa Vale


“I’ll be any trope you want as long as I’m yours.” (p. 334)

★★★★☆
🌶🌶🌶

Review:

First, I would like to thank the author and Valentine PR for providing me with an advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Who hasn’t fantasized about meeting their soulmate at 30,000 feet? I know I have.

Jack is stunned by the sexy, smut-reading good girl on his flight from Las Vegas to Denver. Reading over her shoulder leads to an NSFW conversation about their sexual preferences before landing, expecting never to see each other again. That is…until Jack shows up at Hannah’s library to ask her out. He’s a hitman, but he’s not the only one with a shocking secret.

Hannah and the Hitman is a funny, light-hearted standalone romantic comedy. I generally only like romantic comedies in film, but Vanessa Vale’s latest book is a refreshing change of pace for me. While humor is definitely at its core, Jack breaks through Hannah’s insecurities and builds her up throughout the story. Whereas her family makes her feel invisible and insignificant despite having recently recovered from a brain tumor, Jack relishes every ounce of her, physically and mentally. Together, they explore the spicy romance tropes of Hannah’s dreams, revving up her wild side while simultaneously allowing Jack to merge out of the fast lane.

Audience: adult
Trigger warnings: death, murder, brain tumor, toxic family, body shaming
Recommended for fans of: standalone romance, romantic comedy, magical realism, cat dad, he falls first, insta-love, dual POV, obsessed MMC, supernatural twist, small town, touch her and die, "mine"

Publisher's Synopsis:

What happens when a sexy, cocky hitman and a secretly smutty small town librarian get together? Sparks fly.

I'm a hitman. With all the bad guys out there, business is brisk. I don't have time to focus on anything but work until I sit beside a curvy woman on a plane… and read over her shoulder. I'm instantly obsessed with the small-town librarian who dreams of having a happily-ever-after of her own but is convinced true love is a fantasy only found in books.

My new job? Proving that she'll have an HEA with me. Because she's mine.

Except... big problem. I haven't told her I'm a hitman. Turns out, she has a few shocking secrets of her own. When a mafia boss doesn't like me distracted from one last hit, can I be a superhero and keep Hannah alive, or am I not the one wearing the cape?

Hannah and the Hitman has tons of heat, lots of laughs, plus a fun, supernatural twist.
