#WOTR – #Review – Mother Trucker: A Bad Boys of the Road Story – by: Chelsea Camaron

33547460

He’s the kind of my man my mother always warned me about.

Small towns keep no secrets. Everyone knows all the mistakes that cover Greer Jones’ past.

Yet one look, one kiss, and somehow all his wrongs are suddenly oh so right.

In the end, my heart wants what it wants even as my mind screams he’s one bad …

Mother Trucker.

***This is a small town romance that is a fast paced short story. If insta-attraction, insta-lust, insta-love, and insta-ever after aren’t your thing then this isn’t the book for you. If it is then prepare yourself to meet Greer and fall for one bad Mother Trucker!***

I have enjoyed all of Chelsea Camaron’s books so far and this was a great entertaining quick read. So picking this up was a great deal plus I absolutely loved the title.

Greer is the ultimate dad he gave up a lot to make sure his daughter was provided for and knew she had someone she could depend on. Greer has to deal with his daughter’s mother who only tries to squeeze every last penny from Greer and does not treat their daughter well.

Lia has had her eye on Greer for a while but with everything going on in his life he probably wouldn’t have time for her. Things change after a meeting in the local bar and a ride home that kiss changed everything.

I absolutely fell in love with Greer the way he treated his daughter and Lia was amazing. Lia was wonderful the way she took care of her niece and Greer’s daughter. I really would have loved more of Greer and his kind heart that is full of love for his girls. He works hard and loves harder.

I received this book for an honest review.

This series gets better and better. I enjoyed seeing Metclaf and Marissa’s story. This is a great love story of two people who came together, drifted apart, only to find their way back to one another.

Metcalf went through a dark patch in his life as he watched a man burn alive. Then his wife left him and moved away taking their son with him. He has his life back together with his ex-wife drops their son at his doorstep and arsons are starting back up again.  Metcalf now finds himself paired with Marissa to find out who is responsible for the arsons.

Marissa is a little leery of starting things with Metcalf. For starters they are now working together as a team on an assignment and two he left her once for his ex-wife. Will dealing with everything Metcalf has going on in his life and dealing with work be too much for Marissa? Will she stick it out or turn the other way?

I enjoyed the passion between these two and the love both of them had for Ashton. Being able to catch up with the other firefighters was a bonus. Marissa’s brother, Isandro, will learn to knock before entering his sister’s house from now on or he may get more than he bargained for…LOL. I loved Bulldogs overprotectiveness when it comes to Marissa but loved hi protectiveness over his best friend more.

I enjoy Brandy’s contemporary romance books just as much as her paranormal books.  She never lets me down her females are never weak and her males are alpha without being over the top. I am already ready for the next hot firefighter.

Favorite lines:

“Hey, like I said, don’t chew him up and spit him out and I’m fine with it.”

“Whatever, go back to your woman, Bulldog.”

———–

“What do I win?” she whispered.

“What do you want?” he murmured.

“A do-over.”

———–

“What do you want?”

He trailed his fingers along her tight abs. “This. You and me. Want to see what’s between us.”

#Review – Shifter Date – Must Love Lions: Paranormal Dating App Series – by: Alma Black

Must Love Lions (A Shifter Date Paranormal Romance)

synopsis

Once you go shifter, you never go back…

Alexis Parrish is very single. Sassy and smart, she’s great at her job as a journalist, but it’s never given her the time to find the right man–specifically, a human. So when she gets assigned to interview Max, a lion shifter, about the new dating app he’s created, she can’t believe her intense attraction to him. After all, humans and shifters don’t date.

Max is used to causing trouble. He broke tradition by creating the dating app, Shifter, which humans and shifters alike can use to answer the call of the wild.

When Max challenges Alexis to give him a chance, she can’t say no. A human like her has no business with this handsome alpha lion, but she can’t resist his magnetism. Their chemistry is primal, their connection positively animalistic. After all, once you go shifter, you never go back.

But when a rogue shifter group against interspecies dating targets Alexis, Max will stop at nothing to protect her. It’s more than his pride on the line; it’s his mate.

When you bestie tells you to pick up a book and it’s free you don’t argue you hurry and one click it. This is about Max a Lion shifter who happens came up with a dating app to help both humans and shifters find their match.

Although Max has figured out a way to connect others with their perfect match does not mean everyone likes or is excited about this including his own family. They are causing all kinds of road blocks for Max. Alexis is supposed to meet with Max to write a blog article regarding the app with the intentions of discrediting it. The only problem with this is that once she meets Max there is such a pull to him that she cannot deny.

Alexis finds it hard to resist Max when he pushes her to give him a chance. The sparks fly and things heat up. However, them being together puts Alexis on the rogue shifter group radar that is trying to stop humans and shifters from being together. This brings out the alpha protectiveness in Max he will do anything to protect Alexis.

I enjoyed the chemistry between Max and Alexis. This had a great story line and was a quick read.

Here’s a taste of Devil & Hailee

I decided to be completely up-front with my thoughts. “Are you just after sex here? I mean, if you are, I’m on board with that, but I’d rather know going in what this is rather than thinking it could be more when that’s not what you’re thinking.”

He smiled harder and leant forward so he could kiss me. His lips on mine blazed a line of hunger along my skin. Every inch of me wanted more. And he didn’t disappoint.

Parting my lips, he deepened the kiss, his tongue searching for mine. He took my face in his hands, and his body slid across the lounge towards mine until we were touching.

I wanted to crawl into his lap and never let him end this kiss.

I wanted to rip his shirt off and put my hands all over his body.

God, I wanted to do so many dirty things to him—things I’d never done to another man, but had dreamt of.

“Darlin’,” he rasped, pulling his mouth from mine, which made me want to cry out my disappointment. “We need to stop this now or else I’m not gonna be able to stop. I’d happily fuck you on this lounge if it’s what you wanted, but I doubt it is.”

I took hold of his face. “I need your lips on mine for at least another five minutes, and if you can’t control yourself, that’s on you.” My words came out on a huff of bossy breathlessness, because that’s what a kiss from Devil did to me. I could only imagine what sleeping with him would do. Hell, he might cause me to stop breathing all together.

His eyes widened a fraction before he grinned. “Jesus, you’re something else, woman.”

And then he gave me what I wanted.

And I knew what his answer would be about whether this was just sex or not.

This was never going to just be about sex.

 Melinda's Review

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

What happens when a hot biker is threatened by an ally of the club to stay away from his sister? Oh, that’s right he does what he wants.

Devil is intrigued by a woman protester only to find himself in the back of a cop car with her. He does not back down or give up he keeps pushing until he gets what he wants. Hailee is a strong willed woman she knows what she wants and goes after it no matter what anyone says even family. She has a beautiful soul when she loves she is all in and hangs on. She is not needy and doesn’t complain.

Although Devil is 100% biker and all alpha male he has a kind tender side with it comes to Hailee and family.  Even though Hailee’s brother doesn’t accept the relationship and tries to get Devil to walk away Devil will not be detoured and lets his feelings known.  Devil and Hailee are perfect fit together they are different as night and day but have similarities. When you put them together they are like one they balance each other.

Devil and Hailee’s had instant attraction with chemistry that was explosive from the start. I absolutely loved seeing another side to devil seeing him interact with his niece and nephew was heartwarming. One of my favorites in the book was Hailee’s grandmother, gotta love a woman who says what they want when they want. I enjoyed Devil and Hailee’s story but cannot wait to hear Hyde’s story.  That is going to be a ride.

Melinda's Review

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

What a great start to a new series by Chelsea Camaron and Ryan Michele. They do a fabulous job of co-writing and telling a great story.

Kinderly has had it rough she lost her father, then her boyfriend crushed her heart, and now she is left to take care of her mother who has checked out since her father’s death. She was in love with Dixon but when she needed him most he chose Ruthless Rebels MC over her.

DJ has proven himself over the years even gave up the only thing that mattered to him for them but now that Kenderly’s world is falling apart he is taking what has always been his.

I absolutely adored Kenderly her big heart, fight, sass, stubbornness, and ability to stand up to anyone was amazing.  She will not go down without a fight no matter what situation she is in. even if it is her and a baseball bat taking on three burly men she will fight to the end to protect herself if need be. Oh and women be warned she will fight for her man and then unleash on those in her path. DJ was amazing too a dick yes but can be a wonderful man when it comes to Kenderly.

This series is going to be great and the men of Ruthless Rebels has me so intrigued I cannot wait to get to know them all. Shamus is next and I have a feeling his will be a great ride with just as strong a woman for him to go after.

Melinda's Review

This is an audio review.

The narrators for Inflame me did a fabulous job. I was sucked into this story and listened to it in one day I could not turn it off. The sexual tension in this was off the charts we had the story of Tanner and the man that caught her eye plus a little of her mother and father too. Tanner and her mother find themselves in a bit of trouble and the only one that can help them out is Tanners father. Yeap that’s right a father Tanner knows nothing about. Boy is she in for a shocker. Her mother tells her he is in a MC and she has to go into the club and find him. I have to say when she meets “Bandana man” and “a sexy, scary man? I was cracking up. Since the synopsis doesn’t mention who Cameron Wagner is I’m not either.

Tanner has to learn to trust her father, the brothers and the MC family to protect her and her mother. Can she learn to trust them? Will her and her mother leave as soon as the issues are no more or will they stay with her new family, will “bandana man” and “sexy, scary man” let them leave after they show up on their doorstep or will they convince them to stay?

I stopped breathing when tragedy hit Tanner’s father. I could not believe this was happening after all they been through to find him and get to somewhat know him. To see how ‘sexy, scary man” first reacted to Tanner and how different he was with her than the others was heartwarming. Although as scared as she was of him she wanted to be around him and to see him get jealousy when other men got around her was great. It was amazing how quickly the overbearing protective father side came out in Cameron.

This story line was great and to see the guys and how quickly they accepted Tanner and her mother was amazing. They truly mean it when they say they protect their own. I love it when there is a character introduced to the MC life and see how they react to it. I enjoyed the talks that Princess and Tanner had as well as the conversation Ma and Tanner’s mother had. Tanner was no weak woman she held her own when needed and had just the right amount of sass to her.

The ending of this one OMG all I can say is things are coming to blows in the next book. Way to drop a bomb and then end it making us wait until the next book to see what happens. Great job making me want more. Both narrators did a wonderful job I felt as if I was right there watching everything unfold.

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

I enjoy Bella Jewel’s writing style and way of telling a story. This one is about Molly and Roman both are on the rebound from a bad breakup. Can these two pull each other up and put the pieces of their heart back together or will their ex’s drag them apart and crush their hearts.

Molly’s boyfriend just broke up with her and she is heartbroken. She doesn’t know why and isn’t ready to let go. That is until she meets Roman. They strike up a friendship and realize they have so much in common. Roman shows Molly how she should be treated gives her and gives her the strength to walk away from her ex. However, walking away makes her ex realize he lost a good thing.

Roman is in love with his ex that treats him awful and keeps stringing him along. Molly tries to get him to see what she is doing to him but he still wears those rose colored glasses and wants his ex back.  It breaks Molly’s heart to watch Roman struggle with wanting to go back to his ex knowing that is not the best thing for either of them.

I absolutely loved the banter between Molly and Roman and watching their friendship grow. Molly’s sister was great at giving her advice. I did want to shake both Molly and Roman at times. Seeing them struggle with their ex’s was tough. Watching the dynamics between all the characters was wonderful. I even enjoyed watching all the different advice everyone had for Jack while he chased a girl. I’m already excited to read Jack’s story.  I have a feeling it is going to be a good one.
