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

He refuses to fall in love.
He was born alone and he will die alone. Or, at least he thought so until now.
Vice-One is all he knows. His squad. His brothers. The men he spends every day protecting. He is empty and only one person can fill this void. This darkness.
Meanwhile, Genevieve Gold makes it clear he should stay away when she is everything he craves.

She is lost.
Her heart has been ripped out; stomped on…crushed into tiny pieces, leaving only a gaping hole behind.
King’s Harlots is all she has. Her club. Her sisters. Her life. But something is missing until he shows up.
Angel Rodriguez is everything she hates but everything she needs.

Putting differences aside, they will work together to bring down a malevolent force threatening to rip them apart…

  

 

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

AWESOME set up for an intense series plot.

Jay is the President of the Kings Harlots.  It’s an All-Female MC that she started after growing up in the life with her father and sister by her side.  Jay is trying to prove that just because you don’t have the 3^rd leg *snickers* you can be a valuable MC club member. Jay is dealing with the loss of her twin sister from 7 years ago, multiple kidnapped woman in the area of the clubs, plus a strained relationship with her father from his VP aka her DB ex.  SO yeah Jay has a lot going on in her head.

Angel is over it.  He needs more then woman and booze to full fill his life.  He loves his SEAL team but he wants more.  TOO bad no one can get his attention long enough for more than one night.  He is tired from the investigations of lost woman and the sick people who are running the trafficking organization him and his team are after.

When Angel and Jay meet…instant chemistry.  Jay needs someone strong to lean on and that scared the crap outta her that Angel is that guy.  Angel needs a strong woman who can handle him being gone on missions and Jay is that woman.  I loved Angel because he goes after what he wants.  There were times I wanted to throat punch Jay because she is a self-destroyer.  She would do things just to cause drama at times and I was like “Shut your trap woman and look at that man!!”  LOL

The plot twists at the end was great.  One I surely didn’t see coming because my suspicions were at one person and boom it was another!!  I look forward to what happens between Max and Dale but also Asher and Meeka???  Maybe  Perhaps????  I hope…oh and Stone…yummy addition to the team of hotties.

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.

“Let me obliterate each and every last beast that’s holding that beautiful mind captive, Giselle.”

It’s no secret Detective Mike Thatcher wasn’t a fan of the blood drinkers. They stole his life, his woman, his future when they kidnapped his college sweetheart. So of course Fate paired him with the one thing he’d spent the past eleven years hating…a vampire. But Giselle isn’t just any vampire. She’s seduction, sin, strength and fragility all wrapped into one ice-cold package.

“That could take a lot of time. I have a lot of demons.”

Giselle has reasons for her sandpaper exterior, but they’re hers and hers alone. Then along came the one male she never wanted. Her Fated. Mike changed her in ways she didn’t like. He made her soft. He made her care. The gorgeous asshole made her feel, goddammit. And he’s just made it clear the running is over. Letting love in would prove to be the biggest challenge she’d ever faced.

But as Mike lets the past go, can Giselle do the same? Can she bare her soul? Show her shame? Just as Giselle stops fighting the inevitable, her entire world doesn’t only shift on its axis…it falls the fuck off.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A STANDALONE! In order to fully enjoy Mike and Giselle’s full story, you must start with the first book in the Regent Vampire Lords series, Surrendering, as their back story unfolds throughout the previous three books.

**** Warning: Hot sex, foul language ahead. Meant for mature audiences only 18+

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

What??  HUH!!  No ore books yet…uhm not acceptable.  *Starts a chants* Need more books!!

Man, Mike you are one kick a$$, patient male to push Giselle/Elle so hard to get her heart to crack open and finally SEE what she has in front of her.  You pushed her at all the right times and knew what buttons to push to make her crack each time until finally she had no choice to take the risk and fall.

Giselle…the tears that fell in this book for you…omg my heart hurt so badly for you.  My eyes were a red swollen mess when we find out what you had to endure for all those years.  We understand why you are the way you are.  Why you don’t trust.  Why you keep everyone at three arms lengths away. We understand and so to see you fall and take the leap of faith with Mike *Sigh* made my heart flutter.

This book was so heartfelt, emotional and amazing.  To see Giselle from book 1 and then SEE her growth until this book…WOW.  We can see the heart she has and see it unthaw thanks to that detective and a certain friend …..her happiness is so well deserved.

The end of the book was amazing.  I am left so happy and excited for all of the characters but I gotta admit there are so many more storied I would love to read….Ren, Geoffrey……but especially Jamie.  She needs to be given an  HEA too.

I’m just a regular ol’ Midwest girl who likes Game of Thrones and am obsessed with Modern Family and The Goldbergs. I run, I eat, I run, I eat. It’s a vicous cycle. I love carbs, but there’s love-hate relationship with my ass and thighs. Mostly hate. I like a good cocktail (oh hell…who am I kidding? I love any cocktail). I’m a huge creature of habit, but I’ll tell you I’m flexible. I read every single day and if I don’t get a chance…watch the hell out, I’m a raving bitch. My iPad and me: BFFs. I’m direct and I make no apologies for it. I swear too much. I love alternative music and in my next life I want to be a bad-ass female rocker. I hate, hate, hate spiders, telemarketers, liver, acne, winter and loose hairs that fall down my shirt (don’t ask, it’s a thing).

Wicked Ride (The Wicked Horse Series Book #4) Sawyer Bennett Release Date: June 28, 2016

Synopsis: I think this woman may be the death of me. A dire prediction, but probably true. Probably true because she’s not mine to have and I’ll probably take her, even at the risk to my own safety. So many men slobbering to get a taste of her and only one, sweet, virginal girl to go around. That’s right. She’s a virgin. Looking like a porcelain china doll that would break if not handled carefully. But I also know she’s stronger than she looks. She’s a contradiction. She’s most likely my downfall. Like I said, she’ll probably be the death of me, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take. **Warning: this book has sex in it. Lots of sex. Dirty sex. The Wicked Horse Series is a bit different than what Sawyer Bennett normally writes. While you’ll still enjoy fabulous characters, a suspenseful story, some witty banter and an epic romance, there’s just… a lot of sex. You’ve been warned.

“I’m not a piece of property that you can just claim, Romaric.”
Having been held hostage for a month by vicious vampires, Sarah is now recovering in the most unlikely of places…the shelter that her sister, Kate and her vampire mate, Devon, opened to help such victims as herself. After months under the watchful eye of her sister, she’s finally put a plan into motion to secure her future when a very imposing, very stoic and utterly drop dead gorgeous vampire takes her world by storm and turns it completely upside down.

“Ah, but that’s where you’re wrong, my beauty. You are mine and I’ve come to do exactly that.”
Romaric Dietrich, West Regent Vampire Lord is one of the oldest vampires alive. He’s cold, calculating and nearly unmatched in power. Vampires recognize their Moiras instantaneously and upon first laying eyes on Sarah Hill, he senses she’s his. His Moira. His Destined mate. The one woman meant to be his and his alone. But how is that possible when he’d loved and lost his first? In his quest to uncover the truth, not only does he discover that Sarah is indeed the other half of his soul, but he’s put himself, and his mate, in the crosshairs of yet another very powerful enemy.

Only bonded together do they have the power to win the battles ahead.
With one look into his icy-blues, Sarah knows that Romaric is not the aloof, uncaring enigma he pretends to be. Underneath his cool, rough exterior lays a passionate, romantic and fiercely loving heart of gold. As they fight the battles to come, Sarah holds the key to not only unlocking his centuries hardened soul, but to the one thing that will save them both from this new nemesis.

But will she make her decision in time? And will they finally get the happiness they both deserve?

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

EEEP!  Rom and Sarah’s book so far is my favorite of the series!!

Rom is a broken, cold vampire who says what he wants and ya better jump higher then he originally asked you to jump. PERIOD.  He is a 645 year old vampire and he is not used to having people question his judgement…..SOOOO when he falls for a broken human imagine his surprise when he has to learn the art of compromise????  Man did Damian looove to see that!!!

Sarah has survived hell on Earth. She was held captive for weeks and will not let anyone control her again.  SOOOO when she find out she is a Moira aka Mate to a 645 year old bossy vampire Lord, yeah she is not happy with his behavior.

OMG did I crack up at these two but at the same time I fell so in love with them. They both want to be loved and have love but are scared outta their minds at LOVE!!  I loved seeing Rom really try to court Sarah but then stomp his foot like a child when she said *GASP* NO to him at things.  I loved how Sarah challenged him and yet melted for him when he showed her compassion after what she went through….hello the horse gift…SWOONING TIME!!!!

Their story was easily my favorite and I got a very big soft spot for Rom but don’t tell Damian.  He tends to get grumpy when I look at this friends “that way”.

This book was super-fast passed and we had not 1 but 2 bad guys to take care of.  But honestly seeing Rom and Sarah’s story unfold plus see more of Mike and Giselle but now to see a bad guy who turned good guy fall in love…sigh…so many awesome vampires to love and not enough time to read them all……

I’m just a regular ol’ Midwest girl who likes Game of Thrones and am obsessed with Modern Family and The Goldbergs. I run, I eat, I run, I eat. It’s a vicous cycle. I love carbs, but there’s love-hate relationship with my ass and thighs. Mostly hate. I like a good cocktail (oh hell…who am I kidding? I love any cocktail).

WELL!!  What a great first half of the year for me!!  I have had some amazing reads from old favorites and a few new to me authors!!  Don’t you love it when you find a new author to stalk…errr….I mean Follow….????  *Blushes*  KIDDING KIDDING!! I never stalk I just follow with a lot of interest 🙂  I am a high functioing fan girl right!!??  Ok lets just move on…………….

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

GO!!!!!!!

Book 1 – Luke’s Absolution by KL Kreig

Demons. Regrets. Absolution.

Luke has lived on the wrong side of the law since he was seventeen. His hands are stained and his soul is black, but the worst sin he’s committed is falling in love with his brother’s girl. Then he met her. Addy Monroe is pure, innocent and stubborn as an ox. Even though he doesn’t deserve her, Luke will stop at nothing to have her. But just when happiness is within his grasp fate rips her away, reminding him once again that there is no absolution for sinners. Will Luke be able to let color fill his blackened soul?

From the first time Addy saw Luke Colloway over ten years ago she wanted him. Addy has been attracted to rough, crude, inked bad boys with a bike planted securely between their thighs and wicked promises falling from their lips her entire life. Every one of them has let her down. Every one of them has broken her heart. Every one of them has put her second. She’s never going to let that happen again. When Luke promises her a future, will Addy let him in only to have her heart broken again?

Book 3 in a 4 book series. Each book features a different brother and each can be read as a STANDALONE. To get the full Colloway Brother experience, however, it’s most enjoyable to read in order.

***Mature readers only, 18+. Features alpha men with foul language and penchant for hot sex.

Ok the Long *snickers* and definitely not the short of it *giggle*…. you must read this series but #TeamBombPop stole my heart.  I loved each brother but Luke…yeah he won my black heart over 1,000.

Book 2 – Absolution by Stevie J Cole/LP Lovell

***NOTE: This book is VERY dark. Please take that into account before reading. ***

Evie

All sins are equal in the eyes of God, but I’m not God. One sinner made me his sin, and I can’t let men like him live. I want to kill them. Every. Last. One.
Ezra James is no different. I was going to kill him, but then I found myself obsessed and possessed in the most reverent of ways. I became his sinner, and he became my sin, but the wages of sin is death, so I must kill him.

Ezra

The son of a whore, raised by criminals, molded to fit into a world without morals. I’ve never given a shit about anything until the night I watched a man drop dead at the feet of my little killer. She called to my depravity, and everything in me demanded that I take her, possess her, own her. Some monsters hide behind the faces of angels.

Damned. Broken. Irredeemable.

Through blood, absolution shall be found.

OK so the quick fact is this book is ALL KINDS OF FUCKED UP and that is what I loved about it.  Yes it is dark and hell yes was I uncomfortable but the fact I am laughing as people are killed…I think I need therapy…..

Book 3 – Bindings Kate Roth

I’d only meant to surrender my body but with time, he drove my soul to submit.

Ashamed of the woman she allowed herself to become, Sloane Montgomery sets out to repair the self-inflicted damage done to her life. A new town holds her new beginning and when Leo Calloway arrives everything changes.

Captivated by Leo and his dark desires, Sloane wonders if her fascination with his dominance goes deeper than fantasy. Has she been seeking punishment to atone for the sins of her past all along? Though Leo’s brutal lust is what first enthralls her, the bonds of trust they form could have the power to heal her.

When the ties to her former life threaten to take hold of her again, the passion binding her to Leo may be the key to her ultimate release.

*Erotic BDSM Romance for mature readers 18+

OMG OK I read this book in December but it idnt comeout until January so I am cheating but this book I cannot get out of my head.  I need more Leo like yesterday already.  I loved this story because Kate blew my mind with the content and love story!!  If you think with a title like that its gonna be all smut…think again.

Book 4 – Read My Lips Daryl Banner

I ran away from the glitz and privilege of my famous New York City family to this small-town Texas college to find myself. I didn’t expect to find him…

…the muscular, tatted bad-boy who would soon become my obsession.

He was broken, lost, and voiceless … just like me.

His eyes smoldered me with one look.
His touch awakened the woman inside me.

And through his lips, his perfect, plush, kissable lips, he drew out the inspiration deep in my soul I did not know was there.

I needed to believe that he could save me. I wanted him to help me find my voice at last … the voice that would set me apart from my tragically perfect family, the voice that would finally break me free …

If only he could hear a word of it.

The College Obsession Romance series centers around a group of friends and the relationships they form during their time at a small-town Texas school. They are angsty, steamy new adult novels with HEAs and NO cheating. Although they are obsession-themed romances, there are no stalkers or psychos!

UHM That cover model…yeah right!!!  Ok so this story was amazing because I loved the feel of the story and I loved he fresh approach to the book.  The angst blew me outta the water!!! Plus lets talk about that cover again……

Book 5- Into the Light by Aleatha Romig

Sara Adams awakes blind, unable to remember the most basic details of her life, but her darkness seems a blessing when she discovers the terrors of The Light.

Stella Montgomery investigates the news on the mean streets of Detroit, where she’s noticed a disturbing trend: young women are vanishing. When her best friend disappears, Stella investigates—despite warnings from her police detective boyfriend—following a twisted trail that leads her through the city’s most dangerous and forsaken precincts. There she uncovers something more sinister than she could have imagined: a shadowy organization known as The Light, led by the enigmatic Father Gabriel.

As Sara struggles to understand her place in the strange world she’s awakened to—an oppressive cult demanding unquestioning obedience—and her feelings for Jacob, the husband she can’t recall and whose harsh and tender attentions confuse and beguile her, Stella risks all to discover the truth. But enlightenment always comes with a price…

Warning : you will need a support group after finishing this book!!  OMG it is amazing!!  It is dark but not “Tony” dark so if you fear Aleatha breath a little easier knowing YOU CAN DO IT!!

Thanks for listening to me ramble!

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

*sniff* The end is so sweet. *sniff*  I have fallen head over heels for each of the Colloway Brothers.  Each one has captured my heart in some way or another so to have an ending…yeah I am sad.  Granted I am still #TeamBompPop for Luke but each brother has snuck in and claimed a piece of my heart.

Conn…omg I have waited for this man.  He and Ash were such DB Man Whores so when Asher fell I giggled but to see Conn finally fall was an amazing ride.  I mean to see Conn actually bet a piece of 1 Million dollar property that no one would ever make him whipped like his brothers…yeah I was sooo excited for it.  I wanted him to admit defeat and sign over that property.

Nora was the perfect woman for Conn.  She knew and loved him before he was the DB he is today and so she has no trouble telling him like it is.  I loved her fiery sassy attitude.  I loved how she loved him so hard.  Conn has never experienced love like he had with Nora with anyone.  He actually closed down his heart to woman after she left him.  This is what made him the cold man he is today.  But much like Grey when he sees his woman, he will stop at nothing to get her back.

The couple fight it like crazy.  When we see the twist happen I was stoked and then I wanted to kick Conn in his nuts.  He was totally outta line for his reaction to Nora because as we know, he is no angel!!  *Shakes finger at Conn*

The push and pull these two have for each other …you can feel it.  While you are reading it, you can feel the misery and joy.  The pain and sorrow.  The excitement and love.  They have so much love to give and yet they seem to be fighting more than they are loving towards the end of the book.  So much happens and so many secrets are revealed…..the book kept me reading and turning my pages as fast as I could.  I needed to see my couple and I needed to see them together.

The epilogue….it’s like the icing to the cake….and people I freaking love cake. It gives us a great look at the couple we love and the family we will miss.

This is definitely one of my favorite series and I will miss them greatly but I guess that is what re-reads are for.  To fall in love with them alllllll over again.

Title: Then Comes Marriage

Author: Emily Goodwin

Publication Date: June 30, 2016

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Blurb

Fall in love—check.
Get engaged and plan a perfect wedding—check and check.
Find my fiancé with another woman—I never thought I’d check that off the list, yet here I am, putting a giant “X” in that box just months before we take our sacred vows.

Along with recovering from a broken heart, I’m left with the mess of canceling all things wedding. The venue gave me the deposit back. The florist canceled my order with no charge. The resort we booked for the honeymoon—yeah, they’re not giving me a dime. But I’ll be damned if I throw away a chance to spend two weeks in a tropical paradise, lounging on the beach with a drink in my hand, looking for anything but love.

When I see Derek Turner—a sexy homicide detective I’ve run into a few times before—walking along the beach, I’m not sure if he’s stalking me or if it’s fate. Dark and brooding with a past he refuses to talk about, Derek is the last thing I need…and is exactly what I want.

But when what started off as a rebound turns into something more, something neither of us can deny, I’m left with love’s greatest irony: finding the right person at the worst possible time.
