Something’s gotta give…but Codie Snow doesn’t know if it needs to be her non-committal workaholic ex-boyfriend attorney Slade Sheppard or her unsatisfying job as a nursing assistant. Because even though the chemistry with Slade is off-the-charts hot and the job is a necessary evil, she doesn’t know that she wants either.

Enter Pete Olsen, bad ass cop in charge of serving and protecting the town of Dalton, Colorado. Codie goes on a ride-along with Pete and sees the seedy underbelly of her town, witnessing the gamut–from an amusing domestic dispute to a frightening meth lab explosion–and she decides that law enforcement is not for her.

But Pete just might be.

When Codie learns that a supposed suicide Pete investigated on the ride-along is actually a murder, she poses as a religious fanatic in order to gain access to the controlling cult where the dead woman was discovered, hoping to find the truth. But has she instead set herself up to be murdered–and will she uncover the killer before she becomes the next victim?

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

Fool Me Once is a quick read but man is it a great build up and packed full of suspense. I am loving these characters ok some more than others but still love them in a way.

Codi is trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life. She is a nurse but wants something different. She decides to go on a ride along with Pete a police officer but realizes really quickly she does not follow the orders or like the idea of sitting in the car so she puts herself in dangerous situations when on these ride-a-longs. She has an ex Slade that she decides she no longer wants either but Pete could be another story.

I was flipping the pages to find out what was going to happen with Codi between the situations she was getting into with her ride-a-longs and “investigations”, what was going on between her and Pete, between her and Slade, and then there were the interactions with her BFF and roomie Matthew. There was so much going on in this book. This book also sets up the next one and yes it is a cliffy. WOW I cannot wait for the next book I need to know what is going to happen and will it be Pete or Slade.

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.

*This book can be read as a STANDALONE*

Wes ‘Stiff’ Collins lived life on the wild side. He worked from the moment he knew what the word meant, always making the best of every situation. There was nothing about his past he would change.

Without a real family except his brother Xander, Stiff joined the Vipers Creed Motorcycle Club, and they taught him what it was to have people he could depend on. When his past crashed into his present, he vowed to protect the club that had always been his steady, even if it meant turning his back on the woman who had given him life.

Chelsea Miller’s life was simple: work, take care of her family, and save for the future. Everything was about having a goal and a plan. However, when her sister ended up battered and bruised on a diner floor, everything she thought was in her past suddenly threatened her future. In a moment, she had a new goal, everything else be damned. She would protect her family … at all costs.

Stiff and Chelsea’s worlds collide in an explosion of determination, strength, and lust. Will they give in to temptation, or will conquering each other be too steep a price? Two people not afraid to put in the work will either overcome everything in their paths or finally crumble under life’s troubles they can’t escape, all in the name of family.

*Due to subject matter, mature audiences 18+ only*

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

Stiff and Chelsea were amazing not only their stories but them as individuals and even the side characters. I loved Chelsea’s grandma and I am so intrigued by Xander. Stiff and Chelsea are so much alike and perfect for one another. They both had to step up and take care of their families. They did what they had to never had anyone to depend on but themselves and learned at a young age not to trust many.

Stiff had to take care of his brother and Chelsea took care of her family both knew how to work hard and protect what was theirs. Stiff had to deal with his mom doing wrong by him and Chelsea dealt with her dad at a young age when he did wrong by her.

Chelsea was a waitress where Stiff and the MC would eat once in a while when one day her and Stiffs worlds collided and landed in the dinner causing Stiff to put Chelsea and her family under his protection. It took Chelsea a bit to accept this because she is use to being the provider and protector not relying on anyone for anything. However Stiff was not backing down and was determined to protect her.

The Chemistry between these two was off the charts. Chelsea was strong willed, hard headed and stubborn she didn’t want to give up the control to let other fight her battles. However Stiff was just as stubborn and determined to fight this and protect Chelsea and her family. I loved these two together. I could totally see Chelsea taking on the world with a baseball bat. Where does she get this from her Mom and Grams I’m sure. God I loved her Grams and no one better mess with her and her “stories”. I have a soft spot for military men and Xander grabbed my attention from the beginning so enjoyed the surprise bonus novella on him.

KNOT by M. Mabie

The sizzling second book featuring the Sinner’s Creed Motorcycle Club, bikers bent on riding chrome and meting out mayhem…

Shady has spent the last eight years of his life dedicated to the Sinner’s Creed Motorcycle Club. But after losing the man who was both his brother and his best friend, he has a new purpose—to avenge the death of the greatest nomad in Sinner’s Creed history.

His plan is flawless. His mission is simple: seek and destroy. There is no room for distractions—especially a distraction like Diem.

She’s infuriating. Demanding. Complicated. Impossible. And for some reason, Shady can’t stay away. But he only has space in his heart for one love: Sinner’s Creed. And the club always comes first. Always.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGally in exchange for an honest review.

Kim Jones is amazing at what she does and I enjoy her writing style. Sinner’s Revenge is the sequel to Simmer’s Creed and picks up where it leaves off. Although I didn’t cry as much while reading this book as I did reading Sinner’s Creed there was more Oh Crap moments in this one.

Shady is out for Revenge. He was going after Death Mob to even a score. Death with no mercy was all that was on his mind. He was on a mission until he ran into Diem.

Diem is a sexy, strong willed, alpha female that gives it right back to Shady at every turn; she is argumentative and can be infuriating at times. She somehow got under Shady’s skin like no other. They fought like there was no tomorrow but the banter and bickering between these two was great.

I loved when Diem would play her “games” with Shady. She would end up on top most of the time. Seeing Rookie and Shady interact and become close was great especially after all that shady lost. One of my favorite parts was the prologue and yes I had tears in my eyes.

Kim Jones had me flipping the pages wanting to know what was going to happen the suspense was heart pounding, the sex scenes had me stopping for a breather, and the twist and turns to this book were jaw dropping.  Let me tell you there was more than just one Holy Crap I never saw that coming moments and a few Oh NO this cannot be happening now moments too. I cannot wait to read more of Kim’s books if they are anything like there two books she takes you on ride and not the country road sun at your back look at the beautiful scenery ride NO she takes you on the dark road no one goes on and fills it with danger, death, suspense and tosses in some sexy, naughty and fun moments. I cannot wait for the next ride.

Kim Jones is a writer with big dreams. Inspired by her personal experience inside the MC life, she’s chosen to write biker romance stories that are authentic—expressing the true meaning of brotherhood and the lifestyle of motorcycle clubs.

In 2013, Kim began her self-publishing journey. Saving Dallas, her first MC series, is based on the life of an influential president who juggles the pressures of the Devil’s Renegades Motorcycle Club, and the search for true love.

Taking the club life and her career a step further, Berkley will be releasing Sinner’s Creed, her second MC series, in March of 2016—an inside look into the life of a 1%er and his sacrifice for what he believes in.

Kim plans to continue to self-publish off her Saving Dallas series, and has signed a two book deal with Penguin-Random House for Sinner’s Creed. She resides in south Mississippi with her husband, Reggie, two dogs, a cat and a donkey.

Marie doesn’t need a complication like Horse. The massive, tattooed badass biker who shows up at her brother’s house one afternoon doesn’t agree. He wants Marie on his bike and in his bed. Now.

But Marie just left her abusive jerk of an ex-husband and she’s not looking for a new man. Especially one like Horse. She doesn’t know his real name or where he lives. She’s ninety percent certain he’s a criminal and that the “business” he talked with her brother wasn’t website design. She needs him out of her life, which would be a snap if he wasn’t so damned sexy.

Horse is part of the Reapers Motorcycle Club, and when he wants something, he takes it. What is he wants is Marie, but she’s not interested in becoming some biker’s property.

Then her brother steals from the club. Now Marie can save him by giving Horse what he wants—at home, in public, on his bike… and if she’s a very, very good girl, he’ll let her brother live.

THANK YOU!

Ren Lewis, who has faced every danger known to man, is about to meet a challenge he’s convinced has the power to undo him. When he discovers that his daughter, Adelaide, has been hiding a pregnancy he goes into hiding himself. Having a daughter was one catastrophe he struggled with. But now, being expected to welcome her baby into his home is not something Ren knows how to assimilate into his life. With a new ferocity he throws himself into his work in order to avoid family responsibility. And there’s enough work to keep him occupied with Vivian Bishop trying to infiltrate American homes, intent on controlling and manipulating their residents. Ren soon realizes that Vivian is his perfect enemy. She’s strategic, brilliant and stunningly beautiful.
In this third and final installment, the monster in Ren will have to do the unspeakable. He will have to evolve. Nothing in his life can be approached employing any of the strategies he’s used before. The evolution of Ren might be his undoing, but it might also be the one thing that brings him real happiness.

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

Ren is amazing and I’m so glad that Sarah Noffke let his story be told. Let’s face it he is snarky tell it like he sees it and holds nothing back no matter who you are he does not care. You either love him, hate him, or love to hate him but again he does not care. Then you add Adelaide his daughter to the mix and she is exactly like him only difference is she wants Ren to love her and care about her but the Monster in them both knows that is just not possible.

When God’s Little Monster ends we find out Adelaide is prego and now Ren is trying to stay as far away from her and the monster she created by tossing himself into his work. He has to find out what Vivian’s true game plan is before she implements her plan. She is out maneuvering them at every turn and there is a mole he has to flush out of the institute.

Back at home Adelaide was not dealing well with her new baby. He would cry all the time. Ironicly the only one that could clam him was Ren. I wanted to shake Ren for the way he was treating Adelaide while she was going through her pregnancy and when she was giving birth, I know he was just being Ren but WOW just WOW. Then with this the issues Adelaide was brining on herself, the nanny’s departing like leaves on trees in the fall, and the decisions Ren was making to solve this case it’s no wonder Dahlia walked away.

I loved this series Ren was the best he was the same no holds bar snarky man throughout the series. If he didn’t like someone which was mostly everyone he treated them the same throughout the entire series. Ren and Dahlia relationship was priceless only he and Dahlia could survive a relationship like this. The way he never called anyone by their real name only by names he chooses to call them by was great. The fact that Adelaide did the same thing was a hoot. The way Ren went about solving this case I wanted to throat punch him I mean really how could he do that to Dahlia. The way he treated Lucien I mean I shouldn’t be shocked it is Ren after all but come on Ren this is your Grandson, a baby, how bad can it be. The thing I loved the most about this series is how Sarah Noffke is able to intertwine her other series with this one there is Dr. David Reardon in here who I love seeing again by the way. Sarah had me guessing to the very end I thought I knew but she did a great job keeping in the dark tell the end. Each series I read I say this is my favorite then she writes another series and out does herself this is no different. I fell in love with Ren the first time I Read him and I still love him. I only hope I get to see him again sometime in another one of Sarah’s series.

Sarah Noffke writes YA & NA sci-fi, fantasy and dystopian. She is the author of the Lucidites, Reverians, Ren, and Vagabond Circus series. She’s been everything from a corporate manager to a hippie. Her taste for adventure has taken her all over the world. If you can’t find her at the gym, then she’s probably at the frozen yogurt shop. If you can’t find her there then she probably doesn’t want to be found. She is a self-proclaimed hermit, with spontaneous urges to socialize during full moons and when Mercury is in retrograde. Sarah lives in Central California with her family.
