ENEMIES TO LOVERS BIKER ROMANCE.

Tatum Lee is a pain in my ass.
She’s stubborn, full of attitude, and she doesn’t like to do what she’s told.
And yet, at a time when I should be focusing on the war my club is at, she consumes my mind because she’s also fearless and fierce, and I’ve never met a woman like her.

The thing about war, though, is the minute you let your focus drop, your enemy rises up and attacks. And sometimes they bring you to your knees in ways you never imagined.

The other thing about war? You learn just what you’re capable of doing to protect those you love.

HERE’S A TASTE OF NITRO & TATUM

I sat next to him. I wasn’t sure why except that for the first time since I’d met him, he seemed like he needed someone. Even if it was just to sit with him. I stole a glance at his face. It was hard to find skin under all the dried blood. “I take it the other guy lost.”

He held my gaze for a long time before answering me. God, how I wondered what thoughts ran through Nitro’s mind. It felt like he either ran from them or got lost in them, but I wasn’t convinced he was often comfortable with them. Something we had in common. “That depends on your definition of winning.”

I didn’t need him to spell it out for me. And I didn’t push him for more. Instead, I walked into the bathroom. Locating a clean washer in the drawer, I wet it and walked back out to him. Standing in between his legs, I began the task of cleaning up his face.

This was something I knew well. My brother had often turned up on my doorstep in this state. Caring for him had always been my responsibility. How could it not be when his journey in life had been dictated by my own?

Nitro hissed when I accidentally pressed too hard on his cheek. His hand landed on mine and he halted my progress. “I can do this myself.”

I pulled my hand away from his face. “Yeah, you can, but I’m doing it, so just let me.”

“Always arguing with me,” he murmured, allowing me to go on.

I worked in silence and when I’d cleaned the blood from his face, I said, “I’m going to get some ice for your face. Wait here.”

I hurried down to the bar because I figured he had work to get back to and no time to waste. Kree loaded me up with ice and a towel to wrap it in. When I arrived back in his room, he was in the shower. He didn’t take longer than a few minutes and when he exited the bathroom wearing only a towel around his waist, I sucked in a breath at the magnificence of his body.

Nitro was a powerhouse of hard muscle that went hand-in-hand with his fearless warrior instincts. Standing before me, almost naked, his masculinity caught me off guard and a rush of desire hit me. My thoughts stalled and I momentarily forgot what I was doing. All I could focus on was the throbbing need deep in my core. A new hum filled my entire being, unlike anything I’d ever felt before.

Damn.

Shit.

No.

“You got ice?” His deep voice snapped me from my hypnosis.

“Ah… yeah,” I mumbled, shoving the towel with the ice in it at him, almost dropping it as I did so.

He frowned, his eyes searching mine. “You good, Vegas?”

Fuck, no, I wasn’t.

I was fucked.

Completely.

I nodded, swallowing hard. “I’m good.”

I was so far from good.

I wanted something I didn’t want to want.

I wanted him.

How the hell did my world turn in such a short space of time? What the fuck triggered that? Because whatever it was, I needed to un-trigger it.

He took the ice from me and turned to head back into the bathroom, grabbing clothes on the way. I was helpless to do anything but watch him walk away. My eyes stayed glued to the powerful muscles that built his back. And that ass. God, that ass. Even covered in a towel it was hard not to stare at.

I was so engrossed in his back and ass that he caught me off guard again when he dropped the towel and dressed without closing the bathroom door.

Fuck it, I was out. I yanked the bedroom door open and left as fast as I could. I needed to find a quiet corner and gather my thoughts. I needed to wipe everything that had just happened from my memory. Somehow, though, I suspected Nitro was not a man to ever be wiped from a woman’s memory.

He waited four hundred years for her…
She only ever wanted to find her mate…
Their time has come.

Gates is a legend among his fellow wolf shifters. For more than four centuries, he’s lived without a mate, something nearly unheard of in his breed. He’s spent that time mastering the art of the kill, becoming a lethal weapon for the Feral Breed Motorcycle Club, and earning a reputation as the Gatekeeper.

Kaija Wariksen grew up as the Valkoisus pack princess. The Alpha’s only daughter and a powerful Omega shewolf, Kaija’s beauty and place within the pack hierarchy makes her the focus of desire for many of the unmated males, especially one she’s desperate to stay away from. She’d rather wait for her fated mate than be just another bed warmer for a man with more attitude than brains.

But when a territory dispute turns into a kidnapping, Gates and his Feral Breed brothers are called to assist the Valkoisus pack in a rescue operation. Gates soon discovers there’s more in store for him than a fight. He finds his mate in the Alpha’s daughter, a woman targeted by a mystery sect kidnapping Omega shifters. To keep the Valkoisus pack safe, the Feral Breed must put Kaija in danger, risking the only thing Gates has ever needed, and igniting a rage that could destroy the entire wolf shifter population.

Full-length novel – adult content featuring a rough-and-tumble wolf shifter, a brave BBW, and some naughty time spent outdoors.

A shifter battling his wolf instincts…
A woman living a life of obligation and lies…
A moment of fate interrupted by danger.

Rebel Lynch has spent two hundred years searching for balance between his human side and his inner wolf. As a den President of The Feral Breed Motorcycle Club, a lack of control over the beast within isn’t just a pain in the tail, it’s a death sentence. One served by his club brothers: the judges, jury, and executioners of the wolf-shifting community.

At Amnesia Gentlemen’s Club, customers and staff check their real-world identities at the door. Charlotte, one of the club’s best waitresses, ditched her legit career in corporate IT because she needs the kind of income those pesky IRS folks can’t track. When the smart-mouthed bombshell pulls a gig serving a private party, she expects nothing more than a few extra tips. That is until dirty-talking Rebel Lynch strolls into the room looking like sin incarnate, flashing motorcycle club colors, and blasting Charlotte’s expectations about work, life, and love straight to hell.

One glance at Charlotte and Rebel knows she’s his fated mate. But a wolf shifter is attacking women at the club, threatening Charlotte’s life, and putting the entire shifter community at risk of exposure. Rebel and his Feral Breed MC brothers must find the crazed shifter before he strikes again. If Rebel can’t uncover the new monster in their midst—and learn to rein in the protective instincts of a fully mated Alpha—his future with Charlotte will be dead on arrival.

A friend was at a book signing and I was scrolling through the authors attending list and saw this author I could not pass up reading it. I mean it had two of my go too’s in it MC and Shifters. I mean how can you go wrong and no I was not wrong. Ellis Leigh did a wonderful job meshing these two together.

Rebel is den President of The Feral Breed Motorcycle Club and is on a mission to find a rouge shifter who is killing humans. This leads them to Amnesia Gentlemen’s Club where he meets Charlotte. Although Charlotte has a degree she is a waitress at the club to provide for herself and her brother but the night Rebel comes in she is forced from waitress status to “private dancer” status. This is when all hell breaks loose in every way for poor unsuspecting Charlotte and her world is turned UPSIDE down.

The twist and turns in this was great. There was insta-love but I liked that Charlotte did not just ride off into the sunset on the back of Rebel’s bike. She had responsibilities and had to stay where she was had to be shown she was loved, needed, and wanted. To know Rebel was the President of an MC and has responsibilities too and had to go where he was needed.  To see how these two were going to make it work or walk away from each other was gut wrenching. I am invested in this series now I need to know if they all get HEA or not. Good start to a series.

This is for an audible review.

This was my first Kennedy Layne and an audio review. I enjoyed listening to this one. I was pulled in and the narrator was wonderful. This had so many of my favorites Military, BDSM, suspense, and mystery.

Connor and Crest Security Agency is investigating a murder in the BDSM family when Connor is introduced to Lauren. Lauren owns her own business making custom jeweled toys for the BDSM community. Lauren knows how she deserves to be treated and doesn’t put up with crap. Connor is a dominate alpha male he is kind and caring but once he decides something is his he will protect it with his life. I love that Conner is caring and gentle when it comes to Lauren.

Between the chemistry that Conner and Lauren have and the mystery that was building in the story I so enjoyed listening to this and hatted to pause it at any time. The ending was a surprise I had no idea who the suspect was I was way off on that one. I am intrigued to learn about the other guys in this series. I will defiantly be reading more about these men.

Kennedy Layne is a USA Today bestselling author. She draws inspiration for her military romantic suspense novels in part from her not-so-secret second life as a wife of a retired Marine Master Sergeant. He doubles as her critique partner, beta reader, and military consultant. They live in the Midwest with their teenage son and menagerie of pets. The loyal dogs and mischievous cats appreciate her writing days as much as she does, usually curled up in front of the fireplace. She loves hearing from readers—find out how to connect with her at www.kennedylayne.com.

For years, Marty, the newst patch holder for the Devil’s Renegades MC, has been attracted to the club’s little sister–Maddie. And like all his brothers before him, Marty has been warned that she’s off limits.

But when the club president asks Marty to keep an eye on Maddie while he’s out of town, Marty finds himself torn between giving in to his desires and keeping his promise to the MC.

It should be easy to uphold the legacy of the club–love, loyalty and respect. But when you’re a Devil, sometimes it feels too damn good to be bad.

I saw this short story by Kim Jones and jumped in. I had a moment and didn’t realize it was part of a series I have not read yet. Well after reading this I will rectify that.  This was a quick read and I enjoyed every second of it.

Marty is asked to keep an eye on Maddie but knows it is hands off. Even though he has been attracted to her for a while can he keep his hands off her even when she is testing him every chance she gets.  She knows the hands off rule too but she enjoys the response she gets from him. Can he resist her and stay loyal to his club and brothers or is their temptation too much.

I absolutely loved Maddie he spunk and sass is wonderful. Although to know why she is just starting to let this side of herself out again I’m going to have to go back and read the start of the series to get her back story. I enjoyed seeing Marty hold back his feelings but the bar scene was great man he is going to have his hands full keeping an eye on Maddie. She is going to keep him on his toes and want to make him punish her in more than one way *wink* *wink*.

I am ready to read the rest of this story to find out where sit will go. The way Kim Jones tells a story you never know how it will end. So looking forward for more Maddie and Marty.

Kim Jones is a writer with big dreams. Inspired by her personal experience inside the MC life, she’s chosen to write biker romances that are authentic—expressing the true meaning of brotherhood and the lifestyle of motorcycle clubs. She resides in south Mississippi with her husband, Reggie, two dogs, a cat and a donkey.

Casey Alexander grew up part of the Ravage Motorcycle family since the day she was abandoned by her mother and thrown into her father’s lap.

When she loses her beloved father, the utter aloneness engulfs her, leaving her searching for solace in the one man she’s always craved. Confessing her love for him only results in devastation when he pushes her away. Convinced she needs a fresh start, she leaves everything behind in order to mend her broken heart and begin building a future without him.

I sat and read this entire box set in a matter of a few days and love the fact that I could go from one book right on to the next. Let me tell you once I started it I could not set it down. I would read until my eyes shut and it was the first thing I picked up in the morning. The suspense of what the club was going though and the stories of all the guys and their women had me turning these pages so fast.

Each of these stories had their own WOW factor in Ravage Me Harlow is a badass that not only talks a big talk but would back it up with her fists no matter who it was even a brother. She rides her own bike and knows how to ride it *wink wink*. Cruz is the only one she would let subdue her. In Seduce Me Casey is the daughter of a fallen brother and Harlow’s BFF. She has had a thing for GT, Harlow’s brother, but GT has been HOT and Cold towards her. Never feeling like she belonged and was a burden she packed up and left.  However, when things go bad Casey is pulled back home and things heat up between GT and Casey.  Consume Me is about Blaze, a dancer at X, who is hiding from her past meets up with Tug. These two were great Blaze determined to keep her past a secret and never let a man in and Tug determined to make Blaze his was off the charts. The chemistry between Blaze and Tug was blazing HOT. Satisfy Me is a valentine’s day novella telling three separate stories about Tug/Blaze, Cruz/Princess, and GT/Angle’s account of the day from each couples POV. I Loved being able to catch up with each couple. All I can say is each of the ladies had a special day and surprise planned for each of their men. Although some of the guys outdid themselves remembering the day the ones that didn’t or don’t like to celebrate ended up doing a great job doing something nice for their woman.  I loved Ma’s tradition for GT and Harlow and the fact that she expanded the tradition was heartwarming. Rattle Me is about Casey and GT. I so enjoyed seeing more of their story I was in tears a few times during this one but to see how their family rallied behind them and supported them was amazing. What GT does for Casey had my eyes watering and my heart fluttering.

The women are all strong, sassy, fighters and survivors. None of them back down or give up they are loyal to the club and their men. I was not only hooked on the stories between each couple but the suspense of the club issues had me turning these pages. I cannot wait for more of this series.

I’m a mom and a wife who works full time. I have a huge obsession with collecting paperbacks and reading. Becoming an author, wasn’t exactly what I set out to do, it just happened. I needed something to help me get rid of the feeling of being ‘just a mom’ or ‘just a wife’ that was consuming me and writing became that outlet. My book(s) cover some tough issues which are hard for some readers to digest. I am grateful for every single one of you who read my books.

Disappearing without a word, Eden Richardt fled from her naïve former life in Oregon to start anew in the Midwest. Being a morning radio show host, she’s got a lot going for her except finding someone to share her life with. In that aspect, no one seemed to compare to the one. Having absolutely no desire to step foot back in her hometown of Cottage Grove, her decision was swayed with an invitation to her high school reunion and solidified after receiving a letter from her first and only love from her past.

Living his life the best way he knows how, Baylor Jenkins spends his time running the family plumbing business, after giving up his dream to be an Architect, and raising his almost teenage daughter solely without the help of his ex-wife. In the back of his mind he knows something was missing from his otherwise enjoyable life. But that something was actually a someone who disappeared after graduation; a former best friend turned lover.

Locking eyes after fifteen long years raises deep emotions and unanswered questions:

What happened to make Eden run?

Could their love for each other still exist?

Or will their past time together be nothing more than a memory?

Goodreads

Amazon

I received a copy of the book from the author for an honest review.

This was my first Amber Nation book and boy have I been missing out. She knows how to tell a story. I was hooked and couldn’t put it down. I love second chance stories that give someone the opportunity to undo a wrong.  Baylor and Eden even Dean needed closure and some communication lessons after everything that happened to them.

Baylor, Eden and Dean were the best of friends growing up they were the Three Musketeers.  Eden was one of the guys and thought Baylor and Dean could only ever see her as there BFF. That is until graduation night it all changed for Baylor and Eden and both couldn’t be happier. Then the next day Eden was gone without a trace or explanation why she left. This hurt Baylor and Dean.  15 years latter Baylor now divorced and has a wonderful daughter finds himself getting ready for his class reunion wondering if he will ever see Eden.

Eden left her little town with no intentions of going back. She is now has her own morning radio show and loves her job. Well except when her meddling mother and co-host have a great idea to help her find “the one”. One day on air she receives a special invite to her class reunion and now has to decide if she will go back home. Loved seeing Baylor, Eden and Dean reunite and finding out all their secrets, yes even Dean had one. The best part was seeing Eden go head to head with her high school bully. To see the bond Eden was able to make with Baylor’s daughter in such a short amount of time was amazing. The relationship Eden has with her VFF spunky hairdresser is something everyone should have. I’m so excited for this series and need to know more about Dean and this spitfire hairdresser.

SWEET TOOTH by Brandy L Rivers
Combustible Book 3
Romantic Suspense and Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 5th

— SYNOPSIS —

One taste and he craves more…

Isandro has a sweet tooth only a feisty chocolatier can sate. Rejected years ago, her sudden interest comes as a surprise, but he won’t miss this chance.

Seeing is believing.

Until Arianna caught her now ex-lover cheating, she couldn’t shut the door on Derrick. After a few drinks, she’s ready to take a chance.

Isandro is like nothing she ever expected, but everything she’s dreamed.

Derrick won’t take the hint. Her family doesn’t approve of her choices. Now she will be forced to choose between blood and her heart.

Anya Gage has learned that to get anything good in life, you have to work for it. She has no expectations, no dreams.

Then she finds herself at a party where she doesn’t want to be and she meets Knight.

Knight Sebring knows who he is, what he wants and what he likes. And he gets it. But he never expected something as sweet as Anya Gage to wander into his bedroom during a party he did not expect to be having to borrow his phone.

Knight tries to leave Anya to the life she deserves of white picket fences and a man who watches football on Sundays – good, normal and clean. But when Anya comes to his nightclub and finds herself in a situation, he knows someone has to look after her, he can’t fight it anymore and he decides that man will be him.

Knight teaches Anya that, just as with the bad, in life you should also expect the good. And he teaches her this by giving it to her.

But Knight has a dark past and just as he desires Anya for exactly who she is, he fears when she finds out exactly the man he has become and always intends to be, she’ll leave him for good, normal and clean.

Have I been under a rock this is my first Kristen Ashley book. A friend gifted it to me and said you need to read this. WOW did I ever!!  The characters and story line were good my only hang up was the Baby/Daddy thing.  Anya was the low maintenance doesn’t thing she is pretty type of girl. Knight is all Alpha knows or sees what he wants and claims it.

Anya is at a party when she decides to make an exit but realizes she need a phone since her cell is dead only she chooses to walk into the wrong room and use the wrong person’s phone or was it? Knight steps in and takes over wow Anya has no idea what she is walking into. Knight is a take charge kind of guy and that is exactly what he does when it comes to Anya.  Anya notices things in her building are being fixed that have been untouched even after others told the landlord of the issues. Mostly Knight has made his way into her life and they are now together not giving her an option.

Knight has a dark side and no matter what if Anya asks he tells her the truth he doesn’t try to sugar coat anything for her even if it could make her run from him. Anya is the one that calms him and he doesn’t want to lose that. I have to say the secret he tried to keep from her had my jaw dropping I had no idea that was what he was trying to keep from her and I don’t think Anya saw it either but Knight’s brother was sure to let the cat out of the bag for him. Knight had his secrets and I was never sure what to think of him but by the end he had me just like he first got Anya.  Just think if it weren’t for that cheap cell phone. I’m ready for more from Kristen Ashley.

Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA. She nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorise and she hadn’t taken her first breath!).

Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana but has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus she has been blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her posse is loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write.

Kristen was raised in a house with a large and multi-generational family. They lived on a very small farm in a small town in the heartland and existed amongst the strains of Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched).

Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up.

And as she keeps growing up, it keeps getting better.

 

I’m the girl from the school of hard knocks.

Nothing has ever come easy for me. So forgive me if I’m a bit reluctant about Kincaid Griffin – born-with-a-silver-spoon in his mouth, conceited college hoops player. A guy who could get any girl he wants, and yet, is suddenly everywhere I am trying to woo me. The more I protest, the more persistent he becomes.

I’m a lucky bastard.

Let’s face it. As a college athlete, I don’t chase girls – they come to me. I’m as arrogant and cocky as they come, getting nearly everything I want, whenever I want.

I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.

I don’t read many sports related boos but this has a good story line with strong characters.   Not only was I invested in the two main characters but also the other characters also that I need to know more about.

Cade was the all-star that had everything handed to him, never had to chase the girls they were always there waiting for him. However, one bad decision one night threatened to end everything for him.

Ainsley has never had an easy life between working two jobs, raising a teenage sister and going to school she does not have time for anything else especially guys. When she first meets Cade she gives him the brush off when he tries to turn on his usual charm. At this time I was cheering Ainsley on for this move thinking don’t need this guy.

As fate would have it that would not be the only time these two run into each other. Ainsley still wants nothing to do with Cade and well this only makes him want her more. So he pursued harder and she finally caved. But just as things are going good for them his secret comes out in a big way. Now the question is can Ainsley forgive him and can their relationship overcome this?

I enjoyed Ainsley and Cade’s story and also getting to know the other characters. I am excited to see where the other stories are going to go. Cannot wait for the next Story.

Sierra Hill wrote her first full-length romance after a corporate acquisition led her to a stint of unemployment, offering her some quality writing time.

She loves writing about the fictional characters that live in her brain who constantly shout for their own love story to be told.

Sierra resides in the Pacific Northwest with her husband of twenty years and her long-haired, German Shepherd. She is currently working on her next book.

Thanks for reading and reviewing her books. Keep the passion alive!
