Release Date: September 15, 2026

Review

Another delicious addition to The Bad Boys of Belmont.  And bad they are!!


So much chaotic emotion and tension! Best friends, turned non-friends, turned unimpressed step-brothers, turned lovers. There’s a lot to unpack there!


From abusive fathers to secrets, lies, and feelings of betrayal, to being thrown back together, these two are explosive.  


Their journey is dark, raw, and so so good.

Synopsis

Jason

My whole life people hurt me, but no one as much as Gabe.

He was supposed to be my best friend.

My everything.

His mom wrecked my home, and Gabe broke my heart.

I had every intention of never seeing Gabe again, but when my mom kicked me out, I had nowhere to go except back to Belmont.

Alone in a trailer with Gabe…my now stepbrother.

Now he’s back in my life, and he won’t talk to anyone.

Except me.

And that shouldn’t make my chest tighten the way it does.

Everything about him lights a fire low in my stomach that’s impossible to ignore.

But I can’t let him back in.

I'll join the HellCats, make the money I need, and get out.

I’m done drying people’s tears.

Nobody ever dried mine.


Gabe

I haven’t spoken since the night it happened. The night that changed my life forever.

In less than a month, I lost my best friend, my dad, and then my mom.

I won’t speak.

Because I don’t deserve to speak.

I don’t deserve to take up space in this world.

Nothing matters except for waiting for my mom to come home so I can hold her again.

Then he came back.

Jason

He was everything to me, but he despises me now.

He acts like he can’t stand me, but I catch those longing glances—the way he licks his lips when I’m close.

I want Jason to wreck me.

I don’t care how much he hates me, just as long as his hands are on me.

But the deeper Jason falls into the HellCats, the more dangerous loving him becomes.

I hate that he’s doing it.

But I’ll accept it.

For him.


Silent Damage is a high-angst, high-heat MM stepbrothers romance and the second book in the Bad Boys of Belmont series. Intended for mature readers (18+) only.

REVIEW: Hateful Love by T. Ashleigh & Addison Beck (King of Aces #1)

  HATEFUL LOVE King of Aces - Book One by T. Ashleigh & Addison Beck Release Date: February 1, 2024 Review That was a freakin’ fantastic story! This book is on the longer side, so when I went to bed to read at 8 pm I knew I wouldn’t finish it all.  Well, that was a lie I told myself because let me tell you, I barely even noticed when the clock chimed midnight and I was still reading. I was so utterly engrossed in this story that I could have been on fire and not noticed. Firstly, the prologue…wow, so touching, and gave such a fantastic incite into Silas. It’s a common story, two guys from different ‘sides of the track’ hate one another. Prejudices run high, assumptions are made. It would be difficult to imagine them ever being civil to one another, let alone falling in love. When I reached 50% I was thinking, okay, this is good, but I can’t imagine what’s left to cover over 200 pages…but let me tell you, that is when things really heated up and you knew you wouldn’t be put...

REVIEW: Resting Beach Face by DJ Jamison (Swallow Cove #4)

  RESTING BEACH FACE Swallow Cove - Book Four by DJ Jamison Release Date: February 20, 2025 Review Declan is so beautiful. Quiet, a little grumpy, a little withdrawn, and maybe a little lost and lonely. Then there’s Cash - outgoing, sexual, and completely obsessed with Declan.  It’s a slow burn. One that requires both of them to shift their understanding of each other, and time to truly learn and understand both themselves and the other. I love both the trajectory of the relationship as well as the life and home they build.  It’s a truly wonderful pairing that may be my favourite in the series. Sure I see a bit of myself in Declan, but I also just adore the way Cash grew and how they balanced each other. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis He could have anyone he wants...so why is he so interested in me? Cash is a gorgeous chaotic bi guy with a reputation for getting around. And me? I'm the antisocial grump, closed off and lonely. We should be like oil and water....

REVIEW: The Curious Mountain Man by Casey Cox (Movin' to the Mountains #2)

  THE CURIOUS MOUNTAIN MAN Movin’ to the Mountains - Book Two by Casey Cox Release Date: December 13, 2023 Review I’m really loving this novella series about 3 brothers, all drooly-worthy mountain men. They are quick reads, but all the romance & sexiness we love in a story. Now, I think Branum may be my favourite so far.  I’m pretty much putty for the sexy man who’s successful in business but still willing to try for something that makes him feel vulnerable. And he’s a sweetheart.  He tries to be all romantic like the books PJ reads, and it’s absolutely heart-melting to picture the large, built man being all sweet and wooing for this man. Picturing him in the lake naked also helps my assessment of him too and really makes me want to take up birdwatching. And PJ is a lovely human being who deserves all the love and care Branum will bestow on him.  They are a sweet couple to picture.  I’m intrigued to get to know that oldest brother.
