✍🏻 Professor Romance’s 5+ ⭐️ Review: Devney Perry’s Riven Knight ✍🏻

Overall Grade: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+

I have to admit something. I’ve waited to write this review. It isn’t because I didn’t love Riven Knight by Devney Perry. In fact, the opposite is very true. Riven Knight is everything I love about Perry’s storytelling. There is something I can always trust about it. For one, even when there has to be a suspension of disbelief, her ability to make her characters and plotline believable is standard to her books. Secondly, and this is where I struggle to explain and why I’ve waited to write this review, there is something distinct about Perry’s writing voice. There is a humanity behind it. It’s very hard to describe, but she uses her prose to craft characters that invest me in their lives. Every book. Every single book that Perry has put to paper has grabbed a little bit of my soul, so much so that when she announces a book, it finds its way onto my GoodReads TBR immediately. Once the pre-order is available, it is a definitive one-click. Perry humanizes places in the romance world. Her voice is that distinct, and it sets her apart. 

When she announced her Tin Gypsies series, there was a part of me that became a little discouraged. I think it’s normal as a reader to determine genres and tropes of which we don’t particularly find an interest. Yes, I acknowledge that that particular mindset is reductive. It isn’t fair to the writers who toil over their book babies to think they can’t do more in a particular genre or trope. I digress. Anyways, after her announcement, I added the books with a little bit of trepidation because I am not a huge fan of MC books. I’ve read a handful, and they typically don’t engage me because I don’t see myself in them. And, for me, that is important. However, that being said, this is Devney Perry, and I trust her storytelling, so I fell into Gypsy King, the first book of the series. Dash and Bryce’s story captured me. It would be short-sighted to simply call it an MC series because Perry also created a romantic suspense with this series. This, coupled with Dash and Bryce’s hate-to-lovers story, was engrossing. However, it didn’t touch my soul in the way that her other books have, and I was a little nervous for Riven Knight. Again, as I’ve shown above, Devney Perry weaves gold into stories, and I greedily grab for that gold. I didn’t want to grow cold for her books, so I was a bit reticent for her newest book. However, I needn’t worry because she created an emotional masterpiece with this one. 

For one, Perry is a genius a la Skye Warren and Meghan March who so adeptly craft universes for their romantic characters. I hit almost midway into this book and began jumping up and down because I finally recognized Isaiah. It is no secret that I am horrible with characters. I remember story better than I remember character names. I can tell how a book made me feel, but I probably won’t remember the heroine’s name after some time. When I realized that Perry connected this series to another of her past series (we know this series ties loosely with The Clover Chapel from The Jamison Valley series), I jumped around my house in excitement. Key to an incredible book: it brings out emotions in you. And Perry’s nod to her other series illustrates her prowess in seeing beyond a book to a world. Writers such as that imprint themselves on you. They leave a lasting impact. Perry is that such a writer.

Secondly, Perry’s pacing of the story both drives us forward and slows the reader down building the tension and anticipation of Isaiah and Genevieve’s story. As I was reading Riven Knight, I noted how Draven’s plot-line builds this anticipation towards some end. It has this way of intertwining with Isaiah and Genevieve’s story that this book feels rife with tension. You can’t help but find yourself engrossed in their coupling. And it’s this that causes a reader to binge-read a book such as Riven Knight. I know I couldn’t put it down, and Perry’s crafting of the push and pull between these characters kept me attended to the pages of her story. There are no stutters or stops in this book; it is one seamless read of expectation and anticipation.

Additionally, the message of redemption and forgiveness adds gravity to Riven Knight. This comes layered from various plot lines. This isn’t just about Isaiah accepting responsibility for his past and moving beyond it. This is also about Genevieve forging forward with Draven and finding her place in his heart. Then, there is the resolution of the suspense of this story in a way that causes ripples of forgiveness felt until the end of the story. Perry’s title for this book suggests the opposite. Riven means to “split or tear apart violently.” Instead, her book offers us healing along the seams of the splits of this story. While that seam can never be perfect, leaving a scar in its place, this story reminds us that we can move forward, we can find peace, and this is the power of Riven Knight: the profundity of its message. 

Finally, Isaiah and Genevieve’s evolving relationship requires an act of patience. This is not a criticism. It illustrates Perry’s care in developing their love at their own pace. It would have been easy to rush them into a love relationship. However, these two carry personal demons that must be rectified and healed before they can fully love each other. Perry carefully builds their friendship first as a way to provide themselves support. In the midst of this evolution, there are times when their journey comes to a halt, requiring the reader to wait. When they move forward again, it is usually with longer strides than before. Again, this showcases Perry’s pacing superpower. Hidden in this skill is her talent for capturing her readers and keeping them fixed to her page. I’d like to imagine many of her readers are like me, and they find themselves binge-reading her book because her characters and their stories compel them to keep reading until the very end. In the case of Riven Knight, Isaiah and Genevieve’s story is a gripping exploration of love and its means of redeeming one’s sins. On their journey, their personal growth allows them to cultivate their growth together. This is the beauty of Perry’s story. 

Riven Knight is classic Devney Perry in the context of her character development and storytelling. Her genius is set on display as she ties in this book to her expansive universe, and her story-telling here is impeccable in its emotional reach. I simply could not put Isaiah and Genevieve’s story down, and the emotions it unleashed in its wake are typical of any of her books. It doesn’t matter if she writes about nurses or bar owners or Native Americans or former MC members or cops. Within each of their stories, there is an imprint that is all Devney Perry. 

In love and romance,

✍🏻 Professor Romance’s 4 1/2 ⭐️ Review: Kendall Ryan’s Crossing the Line, A Hot Jocks romance ✍🏻

Overall Grade: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2

“‘But I want you, only you,’ he says, his voice hushed and sincere. ‘If you’ll have me.’”

You could say that I’ve been ALL IN with Kendall Ryan’s Hot Jocks series. From Justin and Elise in Playing for Keeps to Owen and Becca in All the Way to Teddy and Sara in Trying to Score, I’ve read them all (as an aside, to date, Owen and Becca own my heart). And through this all, I’ve fallen further into Ryan’s world of hockey superstars and their sassy, intelligent heroines. There is something here for everyone in this series: best friend’s sister, second chance, friends to lovers, etc. Through all of them, I’ve celebrated their highs and mourned their lows, falling into their stories and their romances. Kendall Ryan’s newest book, Crossing the Line, is no different. It is more of what you love about Ryan’s storytelling: great dialogue, off-the-page chemistry, $exy hero, and sassy heroine. In this book, all of this is wrapped in the cover of a friends-to-lovers story. If you’re like me, and you’ve read this series, then you will absolutely love Asher and Bailey’s story, and here’s why:

*For one, this book gives us a bit of a break from the hockey world. In this story, we are treated to a getaway to Asher’s grandmother’s home in San Diego. For this California girl, I love when my home state is featured. It reminds me of everything I love about where I live, and Ryan chose one of my favorite places. Since this is set in a beach city, we get Asher and Bailey in swim gear, which is chemistry gold. Both of them are instantly attracted to each other physically. That’s easy in this story; that’s Ryan’s capital in this book. 

*Because Asher and Bailey are easily attracted to each other, the central struggle with this pair is crossing the line of friendship and professionalism. To be honest, though, I struggled with the depth of that line. I think the worry about professionalism is insignificant since Bailey isn’t really Asher’s nurse or doctor; instead, she is his friend with some nursing skills that help him. The line, then, is clearly friend-related, but even this isn’t a huge imposition. Their friends have waited for these two to acknowledge their interest, and they are hugely supportive of it. The challenge of this romance lies in Bailey’s ambitious life. That is where the angst of this story resides, and the best part of Ryan is she doesn’t make us work too hard through it. She presents it as the tension of the story, but she relieves us of it fairly quickly, which means most of this story allows us to enjoy these two falling for each other. They are funny together; they are comfortable with each other; and they grow more respectful of each other. This makes Crossing the Line equal parts sweet and $exy. 

*Asher’s family is another key component of Ryan’s story. I love it when grandmothers and grandfathers play a part in matchmaking. Ryan builds the character of Asher’s grandmother so well that you find yourself laughing at her one moment and wishing for a hug from her in the next. Ryan’s use of Asher’s family becomes a huge part of Asher and Bailey’s relationship growth. Without them, these two would still be docked. Instead, his family offers Bailey opportunities to see Asher as something more than her casual hockey-player friend. It humanizes him in her eyes, and this becomes the foundation for their romance. It’s a key quality of Ryan’s story, and she shows her storytelling prowess here. 

Kendall Ryan’s Crossing the Line is more of what you love about her Hot Jocks series. In fact, in my mind, it’s tied for second place with Playing for Keeps behind Owen and Becca’s All the Way. Where Justin and Elise are salty together, Asher and Baily are sweet, a nice dessert in the Hot Jocks series. If you’re a fan of hot hockey players and the strong, intelligent women who fall for them, then you want to read this series, and Asher and Bailey have definitely left their mark in it. 

In love and romance,

Professor A

A Standalone Contemporary Romance

#1 New York Times Bestselling Author Vi Keeland

SYNOPSIS

Terminated for inappropriate behavior.

I couldn’t believe the letter in my hands.

Nine years.  Nine damn years I’d worked my butt off for one of the largest companies in America, and I was fired with a form letter when I returned home from a week in Aruba.

All because of a video taken when I was on vacation with my friends—a private video made on my private time. Or so I thought…

Pissed off, I cracked open a bottle of wine and wrote my own letter to the gazillionaire CEO telling him what I thought of his company and its practices.

I didn’t think he’d actually respond.

I certainly never thought I’d suddenly become pen pals with the rich jerk.

Eventually, he realized I’d been wronged and made sure I got my job back.

Only…it wasn’t the only thing Grant Lexington wanted to do for me.

But there was no way I was getting involved with my boss’s boss’s boss. Even if he was ridiculously gorgeous, confident, and charming.

It would be completely wrong, inappropriate even.

Sort of like the video that got me into trouble to begin with.

Two wrongs don’t make a right.

But sometimes it’s twice as fun.

CROSSING THE LINE

By Kendall Ryan

About the Book

Hello, rock?
Meet hard place.

Recovering from a pulled groin muscle isn’t exactly how I planned to spend my much-needed summer vacation.

But I’ll admit, being nursed back to health by my gorgeous friend Bailey, who’s just graduated from medical school, doesn’t exactly sound like a hardship.

We spend a week together at my family’s beach house, a week of swimming and barbecues, a week of entertaining my little cousins and sleeping right across the hall from each other. A week of watching Bailey grow closer with my mom and sisters, and my wacky but lovable grandma. A week of enjoying Bailey tending to me—which is saying something, because it involves a lot of shoving ice packs into my underwear and taping up sore muscles.

She’s funny and kind, and after just being myself for the first time in a long time, my walls come tumbling down. But when Bailey says she’s not looking for a relationship, I’m bound and determined to be more than just the fun hookup who sprained his groin a second time—this time with her.

Synopsis

Blaire Calloway has planned every Instagram-worthy moment of her cupcake and cocktails shop launch down to the tiniest detail. What she didn’t plan on? Ronan Knight and his old-school sports bar next door opening on the very same day. He may be super swoony, but Blaire hasn’t spent years obsessing over buttercream and bourbon to have him ruin her chance at success.

And the more time Blaire spends getting to know the real Ronan, the more she wonders if it’s possible to have her cupcake and eat it too.

The Redemption - CR banner.jpg

The Redemption, book four in the Filthy Rich Americans Saga by USA Today bestselling author Nikki Sloane is coming March 31, 2020!

Copy of Paperback_Cover.jpg

To the rest of the world I’m the villain, but to her? I’ll be the hero.

This is Macalister Hale’s story.

Once, the name Macalister Hale was uttered in the boardroom with respect. Now, it’s whispered in disgrace at cocktail parties hosted by Boston’s elite.

Scandal nearly destroyed me, but the one thing larger than my infamy is my bank account, and I’ve learned money can solve anything.

Well—almost anything.

Sophia Alby’s preferred currency is secrets and the way she trades information puts Wall Street to shame.

This girl charges into my life and claims a partnership can restore my reputation. My downfall was swift, but with her, my climb to redemption will be greater.

Our arrangement is professional. Appropriate. It has to be, because she’s half my age. But it doesn’t stop me from wanting . . .

To move on. To control and indulge in her. To hear the name Macalister Hale echo in her breathy moans.

But I can’t. Giving in to temptation led to my undoing before, and I won’t survive it a second time.

To the rest of the world I’m the villain, but to her? I’ll be the hero.

The Redemption is book four in the Filthy Rich Americans Saga and is Macalister Hale’s story.

Blurb:
Welcome to their kingdom

Cole Covington is the most popular heartbreaker at school.

Every guy wants to be him and every girl wants to screw him.

Except me.

His devastatingly good looks, golden arm, and flirty smiles don’t do it for me anymore…because I know what’s lurking underneath the star quarterback’s gorgeous armor.

At least I thought I did.

Sometimes the most beautiful people…hide the ugliest truths.

And sometimes the only way to save someone…

is to walk beside them through hell.

Sawyer Church is the bible-thumping nerd of Royal Hearts Academy.

Girls pick on her and guys don’t notice her.

Except me.

Sweet, curvy, and sarcastic, she’s impossible to ignore.

No matter how much I try.

Everyone at school has her pegged as the chubby, Jesus loving geek, but unlike them—Sawyer’s real and never pretends to be someone she’s not.

Until I ask her to be my fake girlfriend.

Sometimes the most beautiful souls…hide the greatest pain.

And sometimes the only way to save someone…

is to fight for them.

Excerpt:

I open my mouth to speak, but Bianca beats me to it.
“In Cole’s defense, he told me not to hook up with any guys. He never said anything about girls, though.” Smirking, she adds, “Plus, it’s not like he was there. He was too busy hanging out with his new girlfriend, Sawyer.”
On second thought, maybe locking her up in the basement isn’t such a bad idea after all. There would be way less shit for her to stir up from down there.
I can tell the exact moment Jace processes what she said because the little vein in his forehead makes an appearance. “Sawyer? As in Dylan’s best friend, Sawyer?”
“Do you know any other Sawyers?”
“I told you to stay away from her.”
“You also told me not to fuck Mrs. Bennett, but she ended up giving me an A in history.”
“Holy shit. You fucked Cortland’s mom?” Bianca exclaims.
We both ignore her.
“Look,” Jace starts. “Dylan doesn’t want you hanging around Sawyer. Not after what you did to her.”
“I’m sorry, last I checked, I’m a big boy and Dylan doesn’t get to make decisions for me.”
“Yeah,” Bianca cheers.
Jace’s gaze swings her way. “Go upstairs.”
“Whatever.” She fixes her stare on Oakley. “I’m gonna call *** and see if she wants to hang out.”
Oakley makes a low growling sound as she scampers away. When she’s out of earshot, he says, “***** is a sweet girl, Jace. You need to put an end to that shit.”
Huffing out a breath, Jace motions to me. “Yeah, after I put out the other fire.”
“Me dating Sawyer isn’t a fire.”

It’s a motherfucking atomic bomb.

About the Author:
Ashley Jade loves to tackle different genres and tropes within romance. Her first loves are New Adult Romance and Romantic Suspense, but she also writes everything in between including: contemporary romance, erotica, and dark romance.

Her characters are flawed and complex, and chances are you will hate them before you fall head over heels in love with them.

She’s a die-hard lover of oxford commas, em dashes, music, coffee, and anything thought provoking…except for math.

Books make her heart beat faster and writing makes her soul come alive. She’s always read books growing up and scribbled stories in her journal, and after having a strange dream one night; she decided to just go for it and publish her first series.

It was the best decision she ever made.

If she’s not paying off student loan debt, working, or writing a novel—you can usually find her listening to music, hanging out with her readers online, and pondering the meaning of life.

Check out her amazon page and Facebook page for future novels.

She recently became hip and joined Twitter, so you can find her there, too.

She loves connecting with her readers—they make her world go round’.

Blurb:
It was such a shame that she was in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

She knew that we would come for her.

We had seen her delicate face that night, hidden in the shadows, and she had seen what we did, her gasp of horror giving her away.

She was perfection, beauty, and oozed goodness but that wasn’t going to save her from us.

No one could ever find out our secret, which meant we needed to get rid of her.

But killing her wasn’t an option and scaring her into silence wasn’t as easy of a feat as we expected. She was strong, resilient , and smart doing whatever she could to evade us.

Thus without even knowing it she turned it into a game, and so we became blood thirsty wolves.

Run and we’ll find you. Keep our secret and you might live.

That is until someone else finds out what we did…
