  BLURB   

  I spent my life mending fractured minds. Yet he was undoing mine,slowly, thorn by deliberate thorn. I knew Greece was a mistake. But how do you resist the ghosts that have whispered your name for years, patient and unrelenting? I never intended to step onto a battlefield of broken hearts and broken minds, yet there I stood, entangled in a silent triangle where every truth was a weapon and every silence a wound. Each choice I made drew blood. I was caught in the thorns of war, bound by invisible threads that kept those I loved forever just beyond my reach. The more I resisted, the deeper they cut. The harder I pulled, the more fate tightened its grip. I began this story believing restraint was virtue, that love was mercy. I was wrong. Morality, I learned, is a luxury afforded only to those untouched by desire. And Violet Freud was no Jane Eyre. My conscience answered only to those I loved. And when this war ended, I would not emerge unscathed, but I would emerge victorious.

Blurb:

Some say I’m too soft and cuddly for a guy who wields bone saws and strings friendship necklaces with human eyeballs—but I just call that work-life balance.

And honestly, I love my job as the Costellos’ reaper.

Lately, though, my biggest problem isn’t the dismembered corpses, it’s something far more seductive. Georgiy Sokolov. He smells mouth-watering, like disinfectant and fancy aftershave. 

Plus, he comes with a stern promise to ruin me with surgical precision—and believe me, I will be begging him for it.

If only I could get him to return my texts…

But when a shadowy evil threatens my found family, and my nightmares stir up repressed memories that somehow feel connected, Georgiy and I will stop at nothing to protect what is ours.

Armed with my bloody handsaw and Georgiy’s dainty scalpel, we try to uncover the dark truths about the past that haunts me and the Death that stalks me. It’s all very romantic.

So if you've come to witness my final chapter…good luck, friend.

My name’s Bane. Say it while you still have your tongue.

Georgiy may fight his feelings, but he is exactly what Bane needs. Together, they share the parts of themselves they hide from others and bring out what they thought they had lost.  Georgiy deeply cares for Bane, almost as intensely as Bane cares for him. 

Their relationship may seem chaotic, but it works—Georgiy fully accepts Bane, and Bane’s love never takes away from who he is or what he wants.

The cowboy, the rancher, and a little holiday magic...

Tanner

I met the grumpiest man on the planet and I’m head over heels in lust. No joke. Oak Ridge Ranch’s new part-time vet slash ranch hand is a bear and he’s built like one too. If I were smart, I’d keep my distance.

In a twist, I’m not so smart. 

But I can tell that under his hard as nails exterior, the cowboy is a gentle giant. Axel is a devoted single dad, a dedicated vet, and…I think he likes me. Or he wants me. 

I can work with that. 

There’s nothing wrong with a little holiday fun, is there? 

Axel

I need the job at the ranch through December, then I’m out of here. I have a kid to think of and it’s time to settle old scores and build a new life. 

But Tanner is making things complicated. He’s smart, intuitive, and charming, and—

Whoa! I’ve learned my lesson. This is temporary. I’m not Tanner’s cowboy. 

I might be attracted to him, but I can handle it. 

I hope. 

Okay, fine. I may need some Christmas magic to get out of this with my heart in one piece. Wish me luck.

A Cowboy Holiday is an MM, bisexual romance featuring a single dad-cowboy-grump, a sweetheart of a rancher, and some holiday magic. 

AVAILABLE NOW

This is a sweet, heartwarming Christmas romance with an unlikely pairing and a beautifully written found-family storyline. Axel is a devoted single dad with a big heart, and Tanner is a caring, hardworking rancher who’s easy to love. Their journey is filled with warmth, tenderness, and genuine emotion.

Nick J. Russo’s narration is absolutely fantastic—his performance adds depth, heart.
The epilogue is fabulous and leaves you with the biggest smile.

As a star left-winger for the Pittsburgh Titans, Atlas Karolak thrives on the ice but keeps his personal life uncomplicated. That all changes when tragedy strikes, pushing him into an unlikely partnership that tests his patience, challenges his heart, and threatens to rewrite everything he thought he knew about love and family.

Playing professional hockey wasn’t just a dream, it was the only one that ever mattered. I’ve worked my whole life for this career, and now that I’m playing for the Pittsburgh Titans, I’m exactly where I want to be. My life feels complete.

Losing my best friend to cancer shatters me in ways I didn’t see coming. And as I’m trying to figure out how to say goodbye, I’m blindsided again—because he’s named me and Maddie St. James as joint guardians of his daughter.

Maddie and I… we’re not friends. We’re barely acquaintances. If I’m oil, she’s water, and we’ve never managed to mix without friction. But for the sake of a little girl who’s already lost too much, we need to find neutral ground and figure out how to co-parent.

Are we capable? I’d like to think so. Are we scared out of our minds? Without a doubt. Can we put our differences aside and work together? Honestly, it depends on the day. But when stress turns into stolen glances, which turn into nights we can’t take back, our partnership gets a whole lot more complicated.

Because what started as obligation is starting to feel a lot like forever.

Atlas is the most heartbreaking story you will read! This book sent my emotions through the ringer! Big time!

I don’t know how the author does it but her writing is truly something special and her words just captured my attention!

Im not sure where to begin….

This is a story that will honestly wreck you but also give a semblance of hope in a positive way. 

I honestly had to gather my thoughts when I finished reading. 

This book is an absolute must read! 

Atlas and Maddie have to go through a very emotional time. But these two are like oil and wine…. Then having a little person to look after, can they reach a happy medium?

I loved the way Atlas’s hockey family rallied around them both. But these two pasts seems to rear its ugly head and makes life harder. 

Can Atlas and Maddie get along for the sake of Grayce?

An exceptional story!

REVIEW TOUR - The Exception by Vi Keeland

 

Title: The Exception

Author: Vi Keeland

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Boss/Intern, Dominant Hero, Billionaire

Release Date: January 11, 2026

BLURB

He lives by a set of rules. She might be his one exception.

I just wanted a distraction, something to take the edge off before facing a wedding I was dreading. So on the flight back to New York, I signed up for a dating app. Harmless enough, right?

Wrong.

Turns out, it wasn’t just any app—it catered to people with very specific tastes. By the time I realized it, I was already on my date.

Tall, confident, and sinfully handsome, Jagger Langston seemed like the full package. The chemistry between us was instant—electric enough to burn the whole city down. Though things took a turn when we figured out I’d misunderstood who should join the app. We laughed it off, said goodbye, and went our separate ways.

Or so I thought.

Until I walked into my new internship Monday morning, ready to put the weekend behind me, and there he was—my boss.

Now I’m caught between the rules he lives by—and the temptation to make him break every single one of them.

Well I think Ms Keeland has outdone herself!

Right from the start the sizzling energy could be felt as I read! I kept picturing in my mind the cover model as Jagger and oh my goodness me…. It certainly took a delicious turn!! Hehe!! 

I feel this book is very well written and had my attention from the very start with the amazing characters! I especially liked Suttons friend Miles, he’s a hoot and someone who is definitely good for a woman’s moral!

What can I say about Sutton. I admire her immensely. Her struggles, her attitude and her ability to overcome life’s obstacles thrown her way….. 

Jagger though, what a complex man. He’s entirely unexpected. 

An exceptional read! Please go 1 click, you wont be sorry.

5 Stars plus! 

Audiobook review.

After matching on a “dating” app and discovering on their first date that Sutton had misunderstood the app’s purpose, Sutton and Jagger part amicably—despite an instant, undeniable attraction. That is, until Sutton realizes the man she met on the app is also her new boss.

That’s how this book begins.

From there, the story becomes increasingly detailed—and I mean detailed. As Sutton and Jagger slowly fall for each other, Jagger’s commitment issues add tension and  depth. 

I listened to the audiobook, narrated by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York, and it was absolutely fabulous.
