Lost in Between (Finding Me Book 1)  by KL Kreig (but book 2 was just as amazing too!!)

We all have one.

A price.

That magic number that will get us to agree to do anything, be anything.

Don’t sit on your gold-plated high horse and say you don’t because you do. Everyone does. Each of us has something we covet enough that we’d sell ourselves to have it.

What’s my tipping point, you ask? Apparently a cool quarter mil will do the trick.

What does one do for 250 large, you wonder? Anything the infamous, gorgeous playboy of Seattle wants. For the next four months I’ll be Shaw Mercer’s arm candy, his beck and call girl, his faux girlfriend. I’ll be his to command, mold, push and pull in any direction he sees fit.

I’ll fight falling into bed with him. I’ll fight falling in love with him even harder. I’ll fail at both. And when my past and present collide in the most unexpected of ways, I’ll learn that while one man’s love for me has never died, the only man’s love I really want will never be mine.

*If dirty-talking, dominant alphas are not your thing, move along. Mature, 18+ only. Book 1 in a 2-part duet.

Hunger (Jane Thorton Book 1) by CE Black

“‘Have you seen the girl?’

I was the only girl here. The only living soul in this whole damn town. It had been almost a year since the beginning of the end, and I’d been here the entire time. It was my hometown, where I’d grown up. And where I thought I would die. Eventually. But I wasn’t ready. Not yet.”

A year ago, Jane Thornton watched quietly as the world fell apart. Like a thief in the night, something took over humanity, leaving behind only the dead and the flesh eaters. Or so she thought.

Being born mute was a weakness in the old world. Now she used it to her advantage. If there was one thing she was good at, it was hiding. Until they found her.

Kaden and Mason were two of the biggest, most threatening men she’d ever seen. And she was now their captive. But if they were holding her against her will, where were her chains? Why were they so concerned about her safety and her empty stomach? And how could her heart survive if she ran now?

*Warning: This is book one in an on-going series (trilogy) and may or may not end in a cliffhanger, depending on your definition of a cliffhanger.

**This book contains strong sexual content, violence, and adult language. Not suitable for readers under the age of 18.

I purchased this book because it looked AMAZEBALLS!!

Zombies, and bad guys and 3some’s Oh My!!

Yup that is the whole reason I bought this book….the above three comments….and I am not going to be shy or embarrassed by it!! If they are 3 HRMMMM’s for you then people go for it and grab it because you will love it!

So Jane has seen how bad the words is now that Flesh Eaters are running the world. She can’t trust anyone but herself. When Kaden and Mason spot her, they want to keep her safe. They KINDA force her to come but it’s because they are worried for her not because they are like “other” men who try to force Jane.

Kaden and Mason are two totally different men but we fall in love with them both for different reasons. Mason is an open book while Kaden is the brooding alpha. The guys both WANT Jane but also want to keep her safe in this world. *swoon* covering her in their blankets…sigh….giving her the nasty can of spaghetti-o’s because she is hungry……….

When the lines get crossed between the trio and someone is hurt, the group must separate. Jane is left alone and wondering if she made a huge mistake. Now she is waiting for the guys and hoping they will be able to find her to figure everything out!!
I can’t wait for more…like yes I need to know moooore!!

Rush by CA Harms

I was running from my husband, a man I thought I’d known. Running from the hell he had put me through.

He’d nearly destroyed the woman I had once been and I would do whatever it took to regain my freedom.

I would lie, and cheat. I would steal if it meant that I never had to go back there.

I’d run and keep running…

But there was one problem. I hadn’t planned for Ashton Montgomery.

He was a distraction I couldn’t allow. Not if I wanted to stay safe. I had to remain distant, but he was relentless and had other ideas.

I caved because I hadn’t thought it all through, not in detail.

If I had I would’ve realized that you can only live in a fantasy world for so long before everything came crashing in around you.

And those lives you’ve destroy along the way, make you no better than the monster you were trying to break free from.

How could I have been so careless? It wasn’t meant to turn out this way. But the Rush of my freedom took control and I forgot how important it was to keep the secret of who I had once been.

And now I had nothing…

Only the fear that the man I’d run from would find me again, and finish what he started.

EARLY REVIEWERS ARE LOVING IT!
–Rush, is written superbly. From start to end all the words piece together beautifully. The story line flows easily through a very solid foundation. The angst ranges from light to heavy to “damn my breath has gone”. Rush is indeed a Rush of epic proportions!

Sin by Torrie Robles

Sin
A middle child born into Devil’s Fury MC. Sin never felt that he fit into the club. He didn’t see his life as anything other than the son of the president. Wanting a life away from the MC, Sin joined the military after high school, becoming nothing more than a grunt in the Marines. Military life was hard, and war was something he didn’t expect. People called him a hero for defending his country, but he felt more like a coward. A hero wouldn’t have shrapnel scars on their back, proving they were running away from the fight instead of facing it.Savannah She was raised by her working class family in the midst of oil country, Texas. Catching the eye of an older man, the son of oil royalty, she thought she found love. But she was wrong. He wanted her on his arm, to make him look good, just as a woman should. Savannah wanted to be heard, her opinion to matter. She wanted to be valued. The first strike of his hand across her face should have been evidence enough that her life wasn’t turning out as she had hoped. Getting smacked around became the norm. Fearing him became her life.
Sin & Savannah
Two people broken.
Two people living a life they didn’t want.
Two people thrown together
To keep each other safe;
One from their past, and one from their own misery.
Can he rectify a past tragedy?
Can she be his salvation?

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

Oh man…this book has a lot going on. First and foremost, we are dealing with two broken people who find themselves when they need each other the most.

Savannah is just a broken shell or her former self. She has loved and lived with an abusive man but once she discovers she is pregnant, she runs. Sin/Matthew, is a shell of the man he could be because he blames himself for the brutal death of his sister and father plus letting down his soldiers in the war. When he sees Savannah, he does what he things is right and takes her to try and save her.

This couple faces A LOT. Matthew thinking Savannah deserved more than a bad man biker himself. Savannah dealing with her pregnancy and falling in love with the kind MC biker who is protecting her. They two are dealing with the push and pull they cause one another. They also must deal with their pasts coming back to haunt them.

Savannah’s baby daddy won’t let her go, Sin’s jealous club girls, and Sin can finally confront the man who took half of his family in one night.

One top of all the twists and turns we see family…..a whole lot of family. Family is a big theme in MC novels and this novel doesn’t disappoint. We have a traitor in the mist of the family who cause the calm to be disrupted plus we have another family that needs to learn a few things about the Devil’s Fury….like don’t mess with theirs!

Minnow Korsgaard works a dead end job to make ends meet. When she’s hired to take care of a wealthy old man with no social skills, she’s excited to have found work in her field.

The new boss isn’t at all what she expected.

Severin Leduc is only thirty. He’s also a dominant, tattooed brute who’s needs someone to break through the walls he’s built. The exiled son of a wealthy family, he’s unapologetically rude and eccentric. Raised by servants, he doesn’t want extra people in his life, let alone a pretty girl who refuses to leave him in peace.

Minnow’s submissive nature sparks against Severin’s dominance. Torrid sexual attraction flares between them. Sharing her with his best friend, Rodrigo, only strengthens their growing bond, and Severin’s life is scattered into chaos. Will he learn to trust her, or will he live the rest of his life forgotten?

Warning: BDSM, dark themes. Character’s memories of prior abuse may trigger some readers.

Shut. Up!
I love love love this book and need book 2 like yesterday.

review to come after I process it all!!!!!
#SevIsMyBeast
#ILoveASadistWHAT????
#MinnowIsALuckyGirl

(Once I settled the heck down and I could type my thoughts)

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

Holy Mother….what have they done to me? I am totally and forever ruined by Sev. He owns a piece of my soul…and Sadists scare the ever-loving crap outta me. #WhatHappened????

Ok so here goes…….I loved that there are references to Beauty and the Beast in this book because honestly THAT is a true representation of these two flawed individuals.

Sev….*Sigh* If I thought he might let me curl up in his lap I would and try to make all the hurt go away buuuut remember he is a sadist and well he kinda digs the pain. He is so closed off and afraid to let people in. When he loves, he does it fierce and with all the loyalty he has. When he begins to let our Minnow in, and he tells his story….the anguish you feel and the hurt you have. You my reaction is the same as Minnows. I was ready to cut a B!!!

Minnow is the most amazing person. She meets Sev and is drooling immediately but she can feel the Dominant in him. She is a moth to his flame. She is all for it and pushes him not knowing all his history. When he finally accepts her into his heart, holy sweet Jesus!!! The ballroom will never be the same!! *Snickers because you have no clue what I am talking about!*

Now the two of them have a trusty side kick names Ro. I FLOVE him. He is the right person to help our H/h get together *snickers again* . He is the perfect fit of friend and tag team partner for the couple plus there is an under lying need there he has to have a connection much like Sev and Minnow.

The end of the book is a bit of a cliffy….we are left with some of Sev’s past coming back to haunt him. So we need to know if Sev and Minnow are strong enough to weather this storm together or will Sev’s fear and past force him to push her and is best friend away.

The riotously funny debut from the drinking star with a YouTube problem.

Since launching her YouTube channel “You Deserve a Drink” in 2011, comedian Mamrie Hart has built an intensely devoted following of more than half a million viewers. Like her bawdy and bacchanalian show, Hart’s eponymous debut pays tribute to her boozy misadventures with an original cocktail recipe accompanying each hilarious tale. From the “Leaves of Three Martini,” commemorating the hookup to whom she accidentally gave poison ivy, to the “Bizzargarita,” in honor of the time she and a friend were approached by two uber-Republican couples who wanted to “swing” while on vacation in Mexico, You Deserve a Drink is as useful as it is entertaining.

So Non-Fiction is not at all in my wheelhouse, but when your hubby gets you a book from a person you have watched on tv and said how much you like her, you give it a chance.
Mamrie Hart is a woman who has a show on YouTube called You Deserve A Drink. She comes up with a topic or person to discuss, a drink to go with it, and shows you how to make it. For Example, on one episode she made a drink called A Donut F**k With Me Martini and proceeded to talk about National Donut day. I laughed my booty off the whole time I watched.
Ok, now that you know a little about Mamrie let me tell you about her book.
It’s filled with stories from her childhood, college days, well from her life. Not the sweet sentimental stories, stories that will make you laugh out loud so hard while you’re reading it while in the salon that people stare at you and think somethings wrong!!
One chapter had me laughing so hard, my ten yr old daughter started laughing at me!!!
She is funny, likes to drink, tells you like it is, and is totally owns her shit!! If I was younger and was anywhere near her, I’d try to get myself a spot on her squad.
I have to say the hubby did good picking out this book, for a non-fiction it rocked!! If you don’t know who Mamrie Hart is look her up on YouTube. Also, each chapter starts off with a drink recipe and she tells you about a built in drinking game in the Foreword!!
Loved this book, check it out!!

Then she barreled into his world, and Deke suddenly desires something more than his rag and winning the next round.

Rylie Hollister has lived through hell and back. Each event makes her the strong, independent woman she is today. Until a bitter underground fighter threatens to turn her plans upside down.

These two are bound by their desires, but oh, how that changes when his intensity meets her passion.

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

AH Deke!!  We saw you as the rebel and entitled little shit in Cooper’s book.  NOW we get your history.  I feel bad, much like GT, for thinking bad or wrong about you.  The things you endured for the people you loved are enormous.

Rylie is one kick ass chick.  I mean she is hot as hell but tough like a man.  My favorite scene is when Deke thinks she is a stripper because of her job.  I had to giggle totally because she knocked him off course.

This book has a lot going on.  We are getting to see Rylie and Deke develop into a couple but in a way that storyline is a secondary one to Deke’s past and the last 4 years.  Don’t get me wrong, I loved this book but I think we needed to know what Deke’s been doing and why he isn’t part of Ravage anymore.  There are so many unresolved storylines for him we needed it all sorted out.

Deke and Rylie are seriously 2 people who get each other.  They both have had serious crap happen that ruined their family. They both have major baggage so relating to one another was complete and understandable.

I am telling ya Deke was a surprise rea for me.  I didn’t think I would respect him as much as I did when all the cards were out on the table.  Not many people would be strong enough to do what he did for his family.

Another big story line is Ryker, Austyn and her secrets.  Man!!  I can’t wait for the next book!!  Holy smokes!!

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.

Possessive biker alert

Monroe Lee is a handful.
She fights me, challenges me and tries to resist me.

Where I’m jagged, she’s smooth.
Where I’m dark, she’s pure.
Where I’m broken, she’s whole.

I am not a good man.
I’ve hurt everyone I’ve ever loved.
I should walk away before I ruin her too.

But fuck, we are fire together.
And I’ve been out in the cold too long.

At a time when everything is falling down around me, she might just be my saviour.

This story contains all the panty-melting sexiness and alpha goodness that Nina Levine books are known for.

Motorcycle Club Romance

Goodreads

Amazon

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

I have been so excited and waiting for Hyde’s story I knew it was going to be one heck of a ride. I mean come on with a road name like Hyde for none other than Jekyll/Hyde.

Hyde has intrigued me as the loner type but very devoted to his brothers. He has a past that he doesn’t talk about. It made him who he is like it or not. He did things he was not proud of and was torn from the ones he loved. However, he always took care of what his no matter what or how distant he seemed.

Monroe is giving up on love and then there is Hyde. Like a moth to a flame it is hard for Monroe to resist him and all his Bad Boy ways.  Monroe and Hyde fit together; they knew how to fight and how to love. When one was having a weak moment the other was there to be strong.

When the past came to the present they were there for each other.  Hyde needed a sassy strong woman and Monroe needed a hot alpha bad boy. There was more to this story than just Hyde and Monroe because WOW the club business is getting dicey.  I need to know what will happen next and I cannot wait for King.

A few of my favorites:

Why God? Why is the only man I want to sleep with a moody asshole?

There was just something about this man—something that drew me to him when all I wanted to do was run the other way. Snapping at him would hopefully keep him at arm’s length.

“Bree, baby, he’s the bad boy your mama will warn you about when you get a little older. Bad boys are okay to fool around with, but you don’t date them.” “So all your life you’ve dated the good guys? Is that working for you?”

THE TOUCH OF SNOW

GLACIAL BLOOD SERIES, BOOK 1 

Selene Harper doesn’t know who she is and for that fact, what she is. If she touches someone, she hears all their intimate thoughts. Not so good when you want to start dating. And definitely not good when you are about to be thrown into the world of shape-shifting bears, wolves and wild cats.

Brayden Dillion is a shape-shifting snow leopard. He is the lead assassin of the Glacial Blood pack but has already been told that when he mates, he will be made Beta. That is the problem though. He cannot find his partner. Well, not until he goes to visit his mother and meets Selene.

The Touch of Snow is the first book in the new Glacial Blood series. A first paranormal book from the author, Anna Edwards. It tells the story of a voyage of discovery for both Selene and Brayden as they try to understand what fate has in store for them. The Glacial Blood world is full of intrigue, suspense and a family of friends. It also features a secret that should remain untold.

Family isn’t always blood; it’s the people in your life that accept you for what you are.

In all her life, she had never willingly reached out to touch someone, but she found herself doing it before she could think. She took his hand, and hers was enveloped in his grip. No thoughts entered her head. Her hand began to tingle. Both their gazes shifted to where they were joined, skin to skin. Her hand was changing, fingers turning into a paw, nails into claws. Fur sprouted through the skin in white and smoky gray flecks. The hair was spreading, her arm changing into a… a cat’s leg. She jumped back, breaking the connection, her arm cradled to her chest. Slowly the effects of the touch reversed until she returned to normal.

“Selene,” Brayden spoke but his words were lost.

All she could do was stare at her hand. “Wh… what are you?” she stuttered.

“You need to let me take you back to my mother’s apartment now.” He stepped forward, but she jumped back again.

“Don’t touch me.” Selene snapped frantically and shrunk away covering her body. She was terrified.

He held his hands out in front of him so she could see them. “I won’t. You have my word. Let’s go down to the car. Mom can help me explain.”

“She’s like you? No, I’ve touched her. I heard her thoughts. I didn’t start changing into…into what was that?”

“Selene, please, the car.” He stepped forward again and tried to wrap his arms around her. She was too quick for him though, kicking out before taking off through the desert as fast as she could. She didn’t have a clue where she was going. She just knew she needed to get away. The darkness was closing in. The last thing she wanted was to be stranded in the California desert with no water. A noise came from her left and she froze. From the shadows stalked a big cat. It got close enough that she could distinguish it as a snow leopard. Recognition, shook her. It couldn’t be. Her hand, that was what she had been changing into.

“Brayden?”

Review by Becky

I was given a copy of the book for an honest review.

WOW!!!  This was Anna’s first paranormal and she did NOT disappoint.  I love the Controlling series and this one rates right up there!!!  I couldn’t put my kindle down.  I had not yet read anything with a multi-shifter and this drew me right in.  I knew that Selene and Brayden were going to connect from the moment Jane asked him to watch over Selene when she went on the date with the jock asshole.

Brayden stayed in the shadows up until the time when Selene said no and jock asshole didn’t listen.  Brayden’s fury resulted in his shifting even scaring Selene more.  There begins the draw of our characters.  Brayden took Selene to his pack’s home asking the leader, Kas, to protect her. Of course, he would agree and our hero and heroine have to survive the greed and misdeeds of Kas’ brother Nuka.

Selene connects with Brayden’s pack and feels at home.  She understands that family doesn’t always mean blood relation as non-blood can and many times does act and feel more like a family.  The care and sensitive side of Brayden to physically connect with Selene is very touching!  Our Brayden and Selene are finally able to come together as mates and physically – purrrrrrrfectly sizzling hot, hot, hot!!!

The ending – WHAT????  I know there are twists with that one.  There’s no way it will be the obvious…right?!?

I am anxiously awaiting Book 2! J  Write on Anna! It’s a slam dunk!

Ok, this is the bit where I have to sell myself. Why is it so much easier to write about sexy blokes! Anyway… I am a British author, from the depths of the rural countryside near London. In a previous life, I was an Accountant from the age of twenty-one. I still do that on occasions but most of my life is now spent intermingling writing while looking after my husband, two children and two cats (probably in the inverse order to the one listed!). When I have some spare time, I can also be found writing poetry, baking cakes (and eating them), or behind a camera snapping like a mad paparazzi.

In 2015 I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. It was also around this time that I became one of the founding members of a dramatic/erotic/dark roleplaying group on Twitter. It was wildly popular with both English and American followers. The writing helped me to overcome my depression by giving me an outlet to channel my thoughts into and not sit around worrying all day about things that would never happen. I took over responsibility for management of the group and responsibility for development of our storylines. As well as playing at least ten different characters in the group ranging from an innocent virgin, blood thirsty assassin and even a male lover. The success of the role-play spurred me on to writing novels.

I have a love of travelling and like to bring this to my stories to give them the air of reality. Death Valley is somewhere I visited in 2008 after a tragic personal event. It was part of a tour of the west coast of America that I loved a great deal. The highlight of the trip was a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon.

I have always been an avid reader. Mainly murder mystery in the past but with Beautiful Bastard I discovered a whole new set of novels and I haven’t looked back since. I like my hero’s hot and hunky with a dirty mouth. My heroines demur but with spunk. And my books in a kickarse series.
