Jacque Pierce was just an ordinary 17-year-old girl getting ready to start her senior year in high school in Coldspring, Texas. When a mysterious foreign exchange student from Romania moves in across the street, Jacque and her two best friends, Sally and Jen, don’t realize the last two weeks of their summer are going to get a lot more interesting.

From the moment Jacque sets eyes on Fane she feels an instant connection, a pull like a moth to a flame. Little does she know that the flame she is drawn to is actually a Canis lupis, werewolf, and she just happens to be his mate; the other half of his soul.

The problem is Fane is not the only wolf in Coldspring, Texas.

Just as Fane and Jacque are getting to know each other, another wolf steps out to try and claim Jacque as his mate. Fane will now have to fight for the right to complete the mating bond, something that is his right by birth but is being denied him by a crazed Alpha. Will the love Fane has for Jacque be enough to give him the strength to defeat his enemy, will Jacque accept that she is Fane’s mate and complete the bond between them?

This is an audio review.

I enjoyed listening this audio. The voices and ascent of the narrator made it hard to pause the audio.

Jacque Pierce along with her best friends Jen and Sally were about to start their senior year of High School. Little did she know her world was going to tip with the arrival with the new exchange student who was moving in next door.  She thinks things are strange when she starts to hear a voice in her head although she doesn’t know it isn’t just a voice it is her mate. Only one catch she has no idea about werewolves let alone she is a mate to one.

Fane is thinking he is the only wolf in the small town in Colorado but quickly learns he is not.  Although he knows Jacque is his mate he wants to claim her and keep the Alpha from trying to do the same. Fane has to fight to the Alpha and wow the suspense I was crying right along with Jacque.

I fell in love with Jacque, Jen, and Sally their little “traditions”, inside jokes and games. Their friendship bond is so strong it is the kind of friendship every girl should have. Their chemistry and humor had me laughing out loud. Jen had me rolling almost every time she opened her mouth. I loved Jacque and Jen’s snarkiness not only between them but with Fane and anyone else.  Fane, oh my what can I say about him he is a great Alpha and should be by all rights.  I am so intrigued by this series I will defiantly be downloading Blood Rights. I sure hope it is the same narrator.  I need to know the rest of Jacque and Fane’s story and really cannot wait to get to Jen’s story either.

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

Do you remember the Choose your own Adventure books back in the day? The if you think this turn to page 10…if you think this turn to page 25. Whelp this is an adult romance ebook version. If you think this click here but if you think this click here.

I had so much fun reading this I have to say I had to go back and try different story lines to get the ending I wanted. I have to say the first ending I didn’t like so back to reading to find one I did like. LOL

The story lines are endless. No matter why kind of guy you like you will find it in here. Then as the story progresses with the guy you choose the story can go from sweet innocent to hot and heated. All depends on your choices and what you feel like that day.

Pick this one up they are quick reads I was able to read two of them in a few hours. You get to choose from 4 different men and after each chapter you have a decision to make. Beware it may take you were you want the story to end or it could take you to the ending you didn’t want. However, if you don’t like the ending do what I did and go back change your choices eventually you will find an ending you like. I know I did.

Jade C. Jamison was born and raised in Colorado and has decided she likes it enough to stay forever. Jade’s day job is teaching Creative Writing, but teaching doesn’t stop her from doing a little writing herself.

Unfortunately, there’s no one genre that quite fits her writing. Her work has been labeled romance, erotica, suspense, and women’s fiction, and the latter is probably the safest and closest description. But you’ll see that her writing doesn’t quite fit any of those genres.

You’ll have to discover Jade’s writing for yourself to decide if you like it.

One minute, one second, one breath, it was all for a future that was suddenly unknown.

The attraction was powerful and undeniable, neither knowing where it would lead, but both willing to go along for the ride. A bond between them developed weaving itself towards something good and right.

In the flash of a moment, one decision changed the course of everything.

Ty “Green” Burm had a family, a job he loved, and a woman he was ready to call his. With the Ravage MC at his back, he knew he could take on anyone.

Except the Red Devil’s MC got to Leah first. The things they did to her …

Unspeakable hell.

Leah Johnston is now lost, broken and torn. Once vibrant, she’s drowning in fear and has lost all hope for anything in her life. And for anyone.

The pain now stands between them and even Ravage can’t fix this for Green.

These two are bound by affliction and it’s going to take time, patience and understanding for love to overcome the scars between them.

When ghosts of the past are unable to be shaken off, can these two find their way towards the good and right once again or will everything crumble around them leaving them both in the dust.

One thing is for sure. The men of the Ravage MC do not back down.

** Bound by Affliction (Ravage MC Bound Series #4) is a full-length standalone novel. If you’d like to see where it all began you should start with Ravage Me and work your way up. **

The Ravage MC series and Ravage MC Bound series is a suspenseful motorcycle club romance that will have you quickly turning the pages to find out what’s next. If you like an alpha, bad boy biker who doesn’t know the term give up and an independent woman finding herself through tragedy, you’ve found the perfect MC book. Ryan is known for her twists and turns and the unexpected, so beware!

Come and join the ride with the Ravage MC!

*This book contains adult content and is only suitable for mature audiences.*

I was provided a copy of this book for an honest review.

Leah Johnston wanted the perfect life a house, loving husband, 2.5 kids, and a dog.  That is not too much to ask for but one mistake on her part caused her a lifetime of pain. You see she met Nick on an online dating service. She convinced her best friend, Bristyl, to go to a Motorcycle Rally and things just went wrong from there. Nick was not the guy she thought he was and she found herself in the arms of a stranger. What happens when Leah finds herself in a horrible situation and it seems like no one can save her and maybe the only way out is to let the darkness take over.

Green is determined to stay by Leah no matter what. He will get his girl back no matter how long it takes her to battle her demons.  I love how patient and understanding Green is with Leah. Even when Leah tries to push him away he is determined to make her understand he is there and will always be there when it comes to her. Will Leah be able to let him back in and find herself again?

Loved seeing the rest of this story and the love that Green and Leah built through letters.  My heart broke when we see what Leah went through and then to see Green wonder if he would lose another woman in his life. The way Green does everything to make Leah feel safe and let her know how beautiful she is even when she doesn’t think so.

This was a great read and I flew through it in one day. My heart went out to both Leah and Green. I also enjoyed seeing all the past characters. I cannot wait to see who will be next in this series.

Ryan Michele found her passion in bringing fictional characters to life. She loves being in an imaginative world where anything is possible, and she has a knack for special twists readers don’t see coming.

She writes MC, Contemporary, Erotic, Paranormal, New Adult, Inspirational, and other romance-based genres. Whether it’s bikers, wolf-shifters, mafia, etc., Ryan spends her time making sure her heroes are strong and her heroines match them at every turn.

When she isn’t writing, Ryan is a mom and wife living in rural Illinois and reading by her pond in the warm sun.

Blurb

My best laid plans had backfired. I’d thought by putting miles between myself and my first love that she’d be free to live whatever life she’d wanted, but when I came back from serving my country and Faith was raising her little girl alone, it was time to make new plans.

In eight years, not a single day had passed when she wasn’t on my mind, and not a night went by when I didn’t miss her. She was fierce and stunning and didn’t need a man in her life, but when the time came—and she wanted one—the line would start behind me.

M. Mabie is writer who made thousands of readers hate to love (and love to hate) the angst-filled contemporary romance, Bait.

 

I had a plan… Go to college, get good grades, start fresh. I knew I’d have a clean slate, and I could be anyone. I was right on track until I spent the summer with my roommate, Emma.

Aaron Sutter was everything I told myself to stay away from… a player, smooth talker, and sexy as hell. He was not part of the plan. Girls fought for just a minute of his attention, and would pretty much do anything to get it. I swore I would never be one of them, but Aaron and my heart had other plans.

It’s funny how the heart works. It doesn’t see the pain coming its way. It doesn’t understand that one moment could change everything. One crack could destroy the very foundation that it’s balancing on. Aaron was that crack for me. He pushed inside, wrapping himself around my soul and never letting go. I wanted to let him in, but was he ready for the past I worked so hard to escape from?

Trusting you is the second book in The Sutter Family series.

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

This is one story I have been waiting on since reading Catching Raindrops. Why you ask? This is Melinda and Aarons book.  The prologue had me hooked it gave me just enough that I wanted…no…no…needed to know more of Melinda’s back story.

Melinda is on the right path keeping out of trouble making it through college and making her life better. One thing she did expect was Aaron. She was warned about Aaron, she even knew what Aaron was when she visited the Sutters that summer. She didn’t have time for a guy like Aaron. Mel has her walls up and is leery of letting these down and doesn’t want to get hurt.   Mel has secrets that hold her back and man does she have secrets. She has a hard time opening up and letting anyone in especially a player like Aaron. See Mel’s inner struggle with everything is heartbreaking.

Aaron is a player always had the girls running to him never had to look far for a girl willing to chase him.  I have to say I loved watching Aaron doing all the chasing instead of being chased. I’m telling you at one point in the book I had George Jones song The Race playing in my heat the entire time. Aaron can be so cocky around Mel at times then he would second guess himself and right back to being cocky.

We don’t see it often by every once in a while we see a playful side of Mel that she lets out when she wants to. My favorite thing is seeing Aaron doing the chasing instead of being chased.  He is trying so hard and falling so fast. Aaron finally found someone worth growing up for but can he break down Mel’s walls and get her to open up and let him in.  The epilogue was the best especially a certain scene that tugged at my heart. Then to see when Aaron realizes now all that his dad has done for him in his life. To see the love and strength between all the Sutters was wonderful to see.  I am so excited and cannot wait for Ryan and Jess story.

Synopsis:

Technically, you aren’t supposed to fall in love with your best friend’s girl.

When I was nineteen years old, I was faced with a choice that changed my life.

Keep the safety of what I already knew or risk losing everything with the young, hotheaded soldier who stole my heart.

I chose the wrong man, and for seventeen years, I paid in tears, blood, and shattered dreams for that decision.

Now, there’s a man in my house, holding a gun to my head on the order of my ex-husband—given from his prison cell.

That hotheaded soldier I was too afraid to choose? He’s now a six-foot-three wall of muscle who works at the country’s most premier bodyguard agency. I’ve always wanted him, but now, I’ve never needed him more.

It’s the call I’m terrified to make.

I’m sure he still hates me… Even though I’ve never stopped loving him.

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

Say it’s not so!! Like everything else all good things must come to an end and boy does JM Walker know how to end things.  I tell you I have been waiting for Stone the quiet ones always gain my attention.  This book had me from chapter one JM holds no punches in this book.

After celebrating a little too much one night Creena finds herself waking up to in a situation she tried hard to avoid.  That’s right after keeping Stone safely in the friend zone one night changed it all and there was no turning back from it. Creena hold secrets and oh man the secrets she holds is well let’s just say that is one you will have to find out for yourself.  She does what she can to keep her sisters and Stone safe but when her past comes knocking she is forced to open the door.

Vincent Stone what can I say about him he is one Hot alpha and secrets man does he have them. I was floored never even seen is secret coming wasn’t even in the same ball park when that one came flying by. Stone was a loner his life was the military and now all he needs is the support and acceptance of his Vice One Unit.  Well that is until he is given something fun to pursue. He had no clue what it would be like to be with Creena she could never be a one and done type he was addicted and needed more.

I absolutely loved how strong and sassy Creena was. She is exactly what Stone needed to keep him on his toes. These two lead different lives but so much was the same both so broken, so many past scars, and the darkness that resides in them only to realize the other is their light. There was so much in this book from the things that I was blindsided with, to the ups and downs; there was so much switching going on who knew but WOW. I have to put a side note in here I was so excited to see Lucas Crane helping out in this book I so love this man. I have to say it was great to see all the Kings Harlots and Vice One in this book and the ending exceptionally done.  I can only hope that maybe just maybe we will see more of the Kings Harlots and Vice One with all the families growing so fast.

A few of my favorites:

It had been a long time since I’d gotten that drunk. After celebrating a friend’s wedding the night before, it was almost a given that it would happen. But I still couldn’t imagine who I had gone home with. There was no one that I was even remotely close to being interested in. No one other than a guy I had become friends with and kept in the friend zone because it was safe.

I didn’t deserve her. Not one damn thing about her. She was good. Innocent. Although she had a dirty mouth on her, she was light where I was dark. I needed to get far from her before I tainted her soul with the rust of my past.

Lucas Crane smiled down at me, his eye patch lifting when the smile reached his eyes. “It’s nice to meet you. I’m Lucas.” He winked. “As you already know.”

Our souls calling out to each other to ease this anxiety we had been feeling for the past several months. It was the clam before the storm, as cliché as that sounded, so we used each other while we could.

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

This is the third book in the Black Mountain Pack series and it is all about the Silver Fox Sterling. He loves the pack is now in there is something pulling him to run.  Sterling knows it’s not for his mate because he had one and it is rare to be gifted with a second chance.  He is asked to go see what is going on in a pack in Texas. Sterling quickly realizes he is not just there to help with the issue at hand but to protect Reana his mate.

Reana is stuck where she knows things are right but can do nothing to stop it until Sterling and his crew shows up.  She is all for helping out but not willing to submit to being Sterling’s mate even if her fox disagrees. There is no way Reana can give into the matting with Sterling she is not willing to lose everything by breaking her packs rules.  Reana lost her Alpha and her best friend she is not willing to lose any more.

The connection that Reana and Sterling have was captivating. Watching her struggle to keep her fox at bay and the banter those two had was entertaining. However, Sterling seemed to have the same issue with his fox.  I enjoyed seeing a diverse group of shifters come together to accomplish a goal. I was surprised with what some of them were and what they could do. There are so many great shifters in this series and I want to learn all of their stories. I would love to hear what Steven’s story is he is not the big alpha of the group but his submissiveness is an asset in this story. Plus those quiet ones always have a way to my heart.
