WIDOW MAYKER
Love? For Maja Storm? From a man? Laughable.
One too many traumas disrupted my brain chemistry, turning me into something I never thought I would be. Once a bright star, I was now something akin to a burning sun. Anyone who dared to cross me was dealt with accordingly. Bumping into someone like Vonshae Gunner, whose easy eyes and thick charm are too much to resist, threatens everything I thought I knew about myself.
To her, I’m No One. No One Vonshae Gunner.
I’d be whatever Maja wanted me to be. From the minute we collided, she belonged to me. Our collision was divine, and I refused to see it any other way. The emptiness in her eyes implored me to pour life into her. My duty was to protect and to serve. What type of man would I be if I neglected the call?
All I wanted was one night. One night where I wasn’t Heir Bell. Just Heir.
It was supposed to be a simple birthday fix. One night with Kody McAroy was all I wanted. No strings. No connections. Nothing. Just a means to an end. Even the best plans sometimes come back to remind you of how stupid your original plan was.
Take me seriously. At all times.
Translation. Don’t play with me. Ever. I either care, or I don’t. Which was exactly what I told Heir. Although she was forbidden fruit, nothing ever put fear in Kody McAroy. Especially not someone wearing the Bell name.

This wasn’t a bad story, but I did find myself pretty disconnected from it overall. I love the Niceville world and was excited to be back, but this shift to a new set of characters felt a bit abrupt. I kept having moments of “wait…who is this again?” because none of them really stood out to me in earlier books, so it was hard to immediately feel invested.
There’s also ALOT going on( but not in a fun or interesting way) With multiple storylines and three couples all sharing the spotlight, it started to feel a bit overwhelming. Instead of getting deeply immersed in one or two arcs, everything felt a little spread thin, and I think the story would have benefited from more focused development.
The pacing toward the end also didn’t quite work for me. Some major, high-stakes drama is introduced very late in the book and then wrapped up almost immediately, which made it feel rushed compared to the earlier buildup.
I’ve really enjoyed this author’s work before especially the romance and her MMCs so I know what she’s capable of. This one just didn’t hit the same for me. That said, if you enjoy fast-moving stories with multiple perspectives and interconnected plots, you may still have a great time with it.

Welcome to Niceville Shores a city with a city in Pensacola!! Where the heat isn't the only thing that's hot!!
Let's set it off with the good Dr. Bell who set's off the family with that controlled protective crazy all wrapped up in a sexy educated package and didn't play about his pretty all while keeping her brother & everyone he loved safe!
Then let's get into Poppa & Maddie who protected played his part and slide in and loved Maddie with everything she was missing and showed his daughter everything a man should be while loving Maddie like she never bern loved before.
Then we slide into Antonios and Bianca who fought against falling in love all to discover it was all she needed to be everything she dreamed of! Sometimes we so busy fighting imaginary pain we lose sight of who has us! Protect and love & provide wrapped in sexxy lol were we meet Shy who sees that what she knows isn't what is.
Then we slide into Kwa & Adrian who finds out that putting yourself in a messed up postion can turn into the love of a lifetime if you only open yourself to love!! That Bell energy a beast and turn you everywhich way but loose lol
Which leads us back to Dr. Bell and WidowMayker
Where three young women are building from betrayal's from people who were supposed to love and protect but instead cut so deep and so hard they burird any hint of softness.
1. Heir we meet her first and what her Father & Brother do is something you don't think you will ever recover from because if the one who helped create you can discard you what is a Man going to do? Until Kody who knows about a deep dishonesty that changes everything.
2. May all she knows is pain loosing her Mother and gaining a scar from the man who was supposed to protect & serve but be a Father first changed her entire outlook but Vonn walked in and wasn't letting go and protecting her even from her is his only goal.
3. Shy we meet her through her big brother Antonios after almost being sold by her own parents!! She doesn't trust anyone who isn't kin but Lewis wasn't having it and quietly and with conviction persued her showing that love is to be celebrated.
I loved every part of this story!! From May & Von to Heir & Kody to Shy & Lewis a time was had! This was about finding love that lets you be everything you are!! And got to see my Bae Adir lol

Prepare for a wild ride
Baby the way I kept starting and stopping so I wouldn’t speed read but great things must come to an end. The suspense of this book had me holding my breath and on the edge of my seat. I loved the multiple character lines in the story. Your head will definitely be on a swivel. With all that’s going on LOVE is everywhere in here. Hands down one of my favorites of 2026. M Monique never disappoints with her pen game.
