#Review #MC #TwinsieForTheDayElaine – Numb, King’a Harlots Book 4 by JM Walker

Numb (King's Harlots MC, #4)

“An unexpected evil brings both the MC and Military world together in this brand new series by J.M. Walker”

He doesn’t remember.
In the beginning, women and alcohol were one in the same. Until he met her.
The pain and heartache he caused her died when he was shot and fell into a coma.
Waking up is the only way he can get back to Maxine Stanton while she does everything she can to push him away.

She hates him.
Every fiber of her being loathes the man she fell in love with but she can’t control her heart and wants him just the same.
When Dale Michaels finally wakes up, she realizes they need to end this once and for all, before it destroys them both.

When an unexpected source rips through what they’ve worked hard to maintain, only then do they realize the full potential of their love.

Review by Elaine

I have read every book in this series so far and each one is better than the last. This one had me tearing up. Jm Walkers’ writing is so emotional and strong. The struggles that Dale and Max have can be felt through the words that are written. I can’t wait to read Rust. This is an ARC that i bought at #WOTR2017. I bought all 4 of her books then and I’m glad I did.

J.M. Walker is an Amazon bestselling author who loves all things books, pigs and lip gloss. She is happily married to the man who inspires all of her Heroes and continues to make her weak in the knees every single day.

#WOTR18 #Review – Always His (Crazed Devotion #1) by C.A. Harms @Charm0814

Always His (Crazed Devotion #1)

Forgiveness … 
It isn’t always as easy as it sounds. 

Becoming a Marine had been Ryker’s dream, but that dream faded when it led to losing the one girl who held his heart.

Returning to Alabama after being gone for more than five years was going to be hard, but he couldn’t continue to live without her.

His world seemed empty and there was only one thing that could heal that void.

Find Nicole…

Beg for her forgiveness…

And never let her go again.

She would always be his..

Goodreads

Amazon

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

Nic and Ryker!!  These two have a long history!!  They were first loves but when Ryker walked away, it devastated Nicole.

Nicole has lost the love of her life but gained her daughter after drunken night.  She misses Ryker but knows she will never have him.  She is ok with it since her daughter Tori is her reason for living.  When Ryker comes home to reclaim her, she is not ready for all his declaration.

Ryker thought that walking away 5 years ago would be the best thing for Nic.  He has hated that decision and then to hear she had a child with someone else, left him destroyed.  When his time with the military is over, he comes back to their small town to claim his girl.

Ryker is not going to take no for an answer and I loved him for that.  He knew he has a lot of groveling to do for what he did to her heart all those years ago.  Nicole was so scared of letting this man back in because it’s not just her heart that would be broken but her daughter.

I loved seeing the couple with the push and pull of their chemistry.  I loved him opening up and doing anything he can to prove to her that she is his one…gahhhhh…the tattoo…..sigh.  I loved how Ryker fell so hard for Tori and would turn into a melted pile of mush for the little 3 year-old.  But I loved that fact that they didn’t just have a HEA and run into the sunset.  They had issues to be discussed and issues to worked out to make them become the family we all hoped for them.

A little about me. Let’s see where to start.
I love HEA stories, as long as they come packing a little heat. I need some excitement, some angst, and moments that make me fan my face are always good too. I am an Illinois girl, born and raised. Simple and true, it honestly doesn’t take much to make me happy. I love the little things; they truly mean the most. I may have a slight addiction to my new Keurig—oh my, that thing is a godsend. And so fast too. I have two children who truly are my very best friends, and their faces never fail to put a smile on my face. I have been married to my husband for sixteen years, and even though at times I want to beat him with a stick, I would never change the years we have had. We have learned and fallen, only to pick each other up, dust off the ache, and help each other make it right.
I am one of those authors that adore my fans. I love to hear from you. After all, it is because of each one of you that I continue to write. I look forward to your feedback.

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

So who loved Beauty and the Beast??  MEEEE and this book was a perfect paranormal version of it but with giant huge twists and turns.  I loved the world and would totally love to read more from it.

Quill is a warrior not a breeder.  We slowly learn that our warrior girl has lots of secrets…like LOTS!!  She is sent on a mission to help save some humans from the city when she meets a handsome and deadly man who can’t be wholly human can he?  I mean he is super-fast and so beautiful to look at but a total beast of personality.

Quill is trying to find the humans when she finds her sister and we find out more secrets…yikes poor Quill!!  Staying true to the fairy tale she is given a choice to save her sister or herslef so she saves her sister and is sent to the Beast’s house to live.

Nero is a special man who is fascinated with Quill.  We soon find out WHY he needs her in his life and decides to be not to truthful to our girl.  When they strike a bargain, she finds her sister and a lot more information than she ever knew she needed.

I loved the story and Quill and Nero and really hope to read more because I want to know about those werewolves and her sister Rose.

FANGIRL TURNED WRITER. SLYTHERIN SHADOWHUNTER FROM DISTRICT FOUR.

I’m fairly confident that I came out of womb reading the book. I’ve always loved stories in whatever medium they come. Books, movies, television shows… It didn’t matter. I didn’t discriminate (I still don’t!). It was only a natural progression that I become a writer myself.

I’ve been telling stories for as long as I’ve been reading. Even if it was just standing in front of my family acting out dramatic retellings of my day or making up stories of my own it didn’t matter. It was only a matter of time until I branched out into being a real writer and sharing my stories with friends and strangers alike. And you know what? It’s the best job in the world.

I write dirty, sexy stories about humans & their supernatural lovers. I grew up dreaming of being a Greek Goddess, not a Princess, so I wrote a book about it. In my Grace of Gods series normal humans find out they possess the souls of Greek Gods within them. They are whisked out of their lives and brought to Mount Olympus, thrust into the new and dramatic lives of their Gods.

I am not a victim.
At least that’s what I wanted to believe. What I wanted the

But, he doesn’t recognize me.
How do I prove he didn’t break me? Simple, take him home for

At least it sounded like a good idea at the time.

#NewRelease #Spotlight – Temptation (Shadows of the Heart Book 1) by Sandy Sullivan @sandys37

Temptation (Shadows of the Heart Book 1) by [Sullivan, Sandy]

Charlie Abrams didn’t know what she’d find when she drove down the gravel driveway of her new home. It certainly wasn’t the sexy cowboy coming out of her barn wearing no shirt, low slung jeans, and dirty boots. Fresh out of a nasty divorce, the last thing she needs is another man.

Caleb Armstrong thought he was taking a new job training horses for a city slicker wannabe where he could make some quick money and move on until he ran into his new boss. Charlie Abrams wasn’t supposed to be an experienced trainer with her hopes set on taking the cutting horse business by storm.

Together they’ll burn up the sheets and ride out some trouble on the ranch, but will they be able to see past the hot nights and sweaty bodies to decide if there is a future worth fighting for?

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

Max and Dale.  Dale and Max.  What a hot mess you two are!!  OMG Like for realz.  You two both need to go away and just eff each other until it’s all fixed…LOL

If the beginning prologue doesn’t set the tone for this book and make you tear up, well you my friend are heartless…lol….and maybe you and Tyler should date??!!  EWWW Tyler..smh…..

So as we all know Dale is a DB.  He treated our girl horrible because he was freaked out about his feelings for her.  Not a good excuse as his actions caused Max to lose the baby and in essence lose herself.

Max is a mess because she hates and loves Dale.  She loves him because you can’t stop what the heart wants but she hates him for being the cause of her miscarriage and loss of her daughter.  She hates him for not waking up from his coma and loves him for allowing her a little peace in her life.

Dale wakes up and doesn’t remember everything except he loves Max.  He doesn’t understand or remember everything that happened and it is making his crazy.  Why won’t she forgive him?  What did he do that was so bad?

Our couple is pushing and pulling away and then crashing into each other so much in this book it becomes so toxic.

When the “bad guys” come into play again our couple has even more baggage to deal with because it strips Max and Dale bare.  They must figure out what they want and what they need vs what is in the best interest for each other.  Sometimes love just isn’t enough even when you love with you whole heart!!

Dale and Max put us readers through it this book.  If you are a fan of the series, you won’t be shocked at the push and pull dynamic but then again you might be shocked at how sweet and tender Dale can be.  It even knocked me for a loop.  Much like Max, I needed him to be the a$$ we all knew not this tender man!

Max needs some counseling with Dr. Santos and a few happy pills to pull her head outta her butt but I loved her strength.  She didn’t go easily with Dale and fought it tooth and nail.

Last thoughts…Coby is still my beating heart but that Stone guy….HRMMMMM..yeah him I am watching with a lot of interest!!

J.M. Walker is an Amazon bestselling author who loves all things books, pigs and lip gloss. She is happily married to the man who inspires all of her Heroes and continues to make her weak in the knees every single day.
