I know better than to trust powerful men—especially one whose world is built on secrets and careful control.
He wanted a way to get close to me. I only wanted to keep my distance.

Now the only person standing between me and ruin is one I can’t dare to trust…the man who makes me believe in stolen kisses, whispered promises, and moments that feel too much like forever.
Walking away will keep us safe.
But some risks are impossible to ignore…even when the cost could be everything.
From the USA Today Bestselling author of Bad Billionaires, Elise Faber, comes a brand new billionaire series! These protective, possessive businessmen fall hard and fast for the women they love…and then never let them go.
This is the final book in the Oak Ridge Vineyards series.
This is the last installment in this wonderful series starring Thorn and River. If you have been reading this series, you know it has an ongoing plot where the billionaires of this series and their women have had a target on their backs, and revenge is their game. The cast of characters was fantastic.
We love this slow-burning romance between Thorn and River; it is complicated and beautiful at the same time. Both come with demons of their pasts. Thorns is way more complicated. A former enforcer with mob ties and a questionable past, he was able to escape from and create a new life, but the past never stays buried. River has escaped from an abusive ex, who left both physical and mental scars, along with trust issues.
From the moment you start turning the pages, it has nonstop drama and intrigue. The romance between Thorn and River has a lot of on-and-off moments as Thorn struggles with protecting her from him and his enemies. Julie is a gem in this story, she does everthing to protect her heart, is patient and understanding with Thorn, never quite giving up on the man she loved.
As this is the final book in its series comes to a end the stakes were higher than ever. The friendships developed throughout this series were wonderful, and the ladies added fun to the stories and balanced out the darker themes of its plots. We have to mention how precious Violet was to Thorn and how he caved at every sweet meow.
This story was enjoyable as Thorn and River made a sweet couple. Some might be turned off by the constant push and pull between them, but we understood where Thorn was coming from. The fact that he knew River's past was full of violence was about protecting her, and his sheer stubbornness in not letting his past go was understandable. The characters are not afraid to show vulnerabilities in this one.
The surprise twists and turns were welcomed and exciting. The unexpected ally is even better. The best part of this story is that the women are not ordinary; they're special, and the men who claim them are lucky to have them.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a bully, why choose/reverse harem romance. As such, there may be some scenes that are triggering to readers.
Every night, magic makes him forget her. Every day, she makes him fall for her again.
Flora Domhnall survived the Hunt, claimed the Crown of Moonlight, and woke a magic unseen in Alba Scoria for over four hundred years. But her coronation didn’t end the war. The Highlands are still burning, and the immortal warrior Flora needs at her side is still bound by oaths that see her as a threat. Chyr loves her as fiercely as she loves him—but if he remembers who she is, the oaths carved into his flesh will force him to kill her.
Each morning, he wakes wary, lost to her, and dangerous. Each day, he is drawn back by echoes of a love he cannot name. By evening, tenderness returns, desire returns, and with them come glimpses of the man who chose Flora over a crown, a kingdom, and the oaths that keep him chained.
Then she has to let him go again.
The Raven Queen is still waging her war across Alba Scoria. She turns hunger, grief, and fear into weapons, leaving poisoned wells, starving villages, and broken clans in her wake. To save her people, Flora must become more than a symbol, more than a queen. She must become the healer of a wounded land—even if that means trusting the man whose love may be the most dangerous thing about him.
The war needs them both. But if Flora cannot break the oaths carved into Chyr’s flesh, the love that saves him each day may become the wound neither of them survives.
The Hollow Crown is the second book in The Five Crowns, a sweeping Celtic romantic fantasy series of forbidden magic, impossible oaths, ancient queens, Highland war, and a love story fierce enough to defy the gods. For the full emotional impact, begin with The Crown of Moonlight.
