Barristers & Bones
J. L. Brannick
(Las Vegas House of Spades, #1)
Publication date: October 15th 2024
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance, Dark Comedy, Dark Romance, Romantic Suspense

A hot, morally gray mentor out for revenge. A sprawling funeral home. Torture, mayhem, and a Las Vegas wedding she can’t remember.

Luna needs to complete an internship to graduate, but staying alive suddenly takes priority when she’s paired with the cold, starkly handsome attorney from hell. Roman Fowler is an infamous partner at the most notorious law firm in Las Vegas, and he’s harboring deadly secrets and searching for retribution. And when he forces her hand, their chemistry explodes.

But she’s not a helpless, scared child anymore. The House of Spades–her adopted family–is a powerful, violent, oddly close-knit clan that has a hands-on, DIY approach to taking care of “life’s little problems.” They’re still deciding if Roman is a problem when Luna’s dark past threatens.

Can they fight the danger and menace together? Or will the monsters win again?

EXCERPT:

He smirked and walked over, wrapping his arms around me. “Why do I feel there’s no right answer here?”

My lips quirked. “Because you’re smart, but you never listen.”
He bent down and sniffed my neck. “I do listen to you, especially when you’re

making those sexy little whimpers while I’m–”
I put my hand over his mouth. “If you start with the dirty talk, we’ll never make it

to Ezra’s house for dinner.”

    .

    From my TBR: Escape From Samsara by Nicky Blue is the first book in the Prophecy Allocation series, but does stand alone. At the time I created this post, the book was free…so be sure and check it out.

    Just looking at the cover makes me think this could a FUN one.

    MY ONE SENTENCE REVIEW

    Escape From Samsara by Nicky Blue is all about Barry, a gardener that believes he is a ninja, and his wild adventure to find his missing father, with a talking bush to help him, all the while Nicky Blue’s twisted comedic personality shines through the written words.

    GOODREADS BLURB

    He thinks he’s a deadly ninja. He’s not. He’s Barry Harris and he still lives with his mum.

    Barry’s been patient, but after twenty-seven years of trimming hedges for people he hates, he’s had enough. All he wants to do is to find his missing father and to discover his inner ninja. But life’s not done with throwing him curveballs.

    A fatal mistake catapults Barry into the adventure of a lifetime. With talking hedges, samurai ghosts, meddling psychotherapists, and an inexplicably non-linear time pattern conspiring against him, Barry must do battle to save his hide, unleash the ninja within, and rescue his father from an ancient army, a dark sorcerer and a raging inferno.

    What is the mysterious Prophecy Allocation Department?

    Where is The Before and After?

    Even more importantly, Will Barry’s underwear hold out until he has saved the day?

    My Tease

    “We’re here for the mankini? I rang earlier?” Mel asked hesitantly.

    “Absolutely! Let me show you the whole range,” the woman gushed. Her name badge read ‘Mitzi’.

    She took both girls over to a display that was clearly the province of the Bang Him range. Mel leaned over to look more closely at a strange-shaped item before she read the name and decided she didn’t want to know what it did.

    Synopsis

    Hate your job? Try working in HELL!

    Melody Angel takes a job as a temp at the HELL Corporation. Surrounded by eternal bureaucracy gone mad, demons who love making life miserable, and dying for a decent coffee, it may take a miracle for Mel’s mission to succeed. She must find out what evil plans the Lord of Lies has up his sleeve and stop him, using any means necessary. Lucifer and his minions are out to take over the world, but there’s more than money at stake when the Devil drives.

    Adding trouble and temptation to Mel’s job is Luce Iblis, the damnably hot CEO, who has set his smouldering eyes on the new office angel and is determined to claim her, body and soul.

    Can ultimate evil and angelic perfection escape a limbo of desire and find a paradise of their own?

    Welcome To Hell is FREE and See You In Hell is .99 on Amazon.
