Review by Twinsie Angie

I was given this book for an honest review by the author.

Who loves the Nicki Sosebee series??  THIS GIRL!!  So if you know the series then this little back story is the icing on the cake for the Nicki/Sean love story.

The whole series is in Nicki’s head so to finally SEE what San thought about our girl from way back when…plus to see the beginning of all the relationships blooming made me so excited.  If you haven’t read the story you wont get as much excitement or love from it as I did SO I suggest you grab book 1 and jump in getting to know the gang!!!

Jade C. Jamison is a steamy romance author, heavy metal fangirl, wife and mom, coffee connoisseur, cat lover, and vegan foodie–not necessarily in that order. She loves life and believes we learn our wisest lessons when reading, especially fiction. Her heroines are fierce, her heroes all but broken, both seeking redemption together. Whether those books are set in a small Colorado town or big city, she strives to take her readers’ breath away…one story at a time.

#Reread #AudioReview #MC – Lil’ Mama (Steel MC Montana Charter #2) By: Michel Prince and Wren McCabe – Narrator: Kat Maxwell

I purchased the audio book and eBook combo from amazon.

These audio books are pulling me in and I cannot put this series down. Kat Maxwell did an amazing job these MC men and their women are so addicting.

Amelia was with Roger who was the provider and expected Amelia to know what he wanted when he wanted it. If she didn’t live up to his unsaid expectations, he would beat his expectations into her even tossed her downstairs. Amelia finds herself in the hospital almost losing her babies. When the cavalry arrived to help her get away from Roger.

Cass was sent to retrieve Amelia as a part of an underground railroad system to help women out of bad and deadly situations. Cass finds he is drawn to this beautiful pregnant woman. He wants nothing more than to provide his Lil’ Mama and her babies. Will Lil Mama decide to stay with the MC or will she continue her journey to gain freedom from violence for her and her babies. Amelia meets Cass sister Christy who has demons of her own. I enjoyed seeing this relationship grow as much as I did the one with Lil’ Mama and Cass.

Cass and Lil’ Mama’s relationship is slow but so good. But Cass has to show Lil’ Mama he is capable of a long-term relationship and can be a good dad to her babies. This series is turning into a favorite. Red and Roadkill was good and I enjoyed Cass and Lil’ Mama but next up is Hack. Oh man he captured my attention and do believe he will be my new BBF.

When Michel can suppress the voices in her head she can be found at a scouting event or cheering for her son in a variety of sports. She would like to thank her family for always being in her corner and especially her husband for supporting her every dream and never letting her give up.

Michael Prince and Wrin McCabe are new to me authors and after listening to roadkill I will definitely be diving into more of this series. Tanner DeBruyne did a wonderful job of keeping me engaged in the story.

Josh Luke AKA red is on his way back home to help his mama out after the death of his father. he decided to take the deserted road and good thing for Nova he did. She was left in a ditch to die. Red was able to fix her up and in the process found he only wanted to protect her more.

Nova is struggling she cannot remember anything not even her name so in true MC fashion she earned her nickname Roadkill. Roadkill has to decide if she will act on her thoughts of running far from the MC or if she will stay and let Red in her heart.

Red is going back home and starting his own mc. Will trying to protect Roadkill, forming a new chapter and dealing with the stress accompanying being the president proved too much for Red. Red and roadkill go through so much on their journey but it makes them stronger and shows them if they can make it or not.

I’m excited to see where this series will go. Most MCs are already established this one we get to see it evolve from the beginning. There are so many characters I am interested in seeing what happens to them and see who will stay, who will go and who will join in the future. I have my eye on one guy right now Hack.

Review by Twinsie Angie

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

OH MAN!!  This book I have been waiting for!!  WE have seen Becky hiding something from all of us for the last few books.  I admit I was scared, but Teresa made us a promise about what it is not, so that helped relieve my mind a smidge.  But Teresa can also throw crazy curveballs, so I was still nervous.

HOLY HELL I was not expecting this twist and damn it, I was so for it.  I don’t want to spill the amazing storyline because if you love this series, you will wanna read it for yourself.  I will say I am so excited for where this will go and how it will affect all the mates, especially Lana!!!

I do love how Teresa keeps the series fresh and always has the world evolving to keep it interesting for all the long-time readers.

I am very interested in the new doctor and maybe a possible mate match coming in the future.  But my eyes are now on Blaze and Katerina.  I think she is the next Mates book, and her story will be pretty heavy.

 

Teresa Gabelman is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the ‘Protectors Series.’ When not writing about sexy alpha vampires and the women who drive them crazy, she can be found on a lake with a fishing pole/Kindle, at an MMA event, or spending a fun evening with family.

5 STARS

Wow! 2 days ago I finished Chasing Riddick and I’m still not sure what to say. My feelings are such a juxtaposition. On the one hand, my heart is heavy af and I wonder how I am supposed to continue on after this traumatic work of fiction. On the other hand I’m at peace with things because NO WAY this story would have been half as good if not for the heart shattering moments that made it that much more addictive.
I went in with limited knowledge since I chose not to finish reading the blurb. I’m not sure if that made the angst worse or not but I do know I was stressed tf out while reading this book. With all of that being said, I will recommend Chasing Riddick to everyone. I’m also adding it to my yearly reread list.

This was book 2 in the series. Theres a mystery that began in book 1 that continues throughout the series. You must read book 1 first. This book picks up where that one left off. Each book covers a different couple but theres a subplot that continues through the series. In this book we meet Jesse and Andy.
Jesse runs a club with his best friend, Victor. He also kind of has a thing for his best friends bratty little brother. Andy needs a Daddy and Jesse is the ONLY man for that job.
Andy is a firefighter. Jesse gives him a place to stay and the sparks fly. These 2 were perfect for each other. As far as the series-wide mystery. I cannot figure it out and its driving me nuts! On to book 3.

#review #mmromance #workplace #audiobook Embracing His Syn by: AE Via Narrated by: Aiden Snow

Sergeant Corbin ‘Syn’ Sydney had dedicated his life to becoming the best detective. So when he heard there was an opening on the notorious Atlanta Narcotics Task Force, he jumped at the chance. But, what he wasn’t ready for was realizing just how lonely he’d made himself, when he observed the loving and dedicated relationship between the two men he served under: Lieutenant Cashel ‘God’ Godfrey and Lieutenant Leonidis Day.

Syn prepared himself to accept his lonely fate until he walked into a small pub and met the long-haired, tattooed bartender, Furious Barkley. Before Syn can even understand why, he’s overcome with feelings he barely recognizes: passion, yearning, craving. And if the dark, lustful gazes are anything to go by, Furious might be feeling the same things for him.

Just two thing needs to happen before Syn and Furi can give each other what’s been missing from their lives for so long… Syn needs to find the evidence that proves Furi’s innocence of murder, as well as protect him from a past that refuses to let go.

God, Day, Ronowski, and Johnson are still as entertaining as ever…

You’ll laugh hysterically at Day’s never-ending wit…

You’ll fall in love with Furious’ mysterious, sexy demeanor…

You’ll embrace Syn…

#review #mmromance Ziggy’s Voice (Wilde Men book 2) by: Jacki James

Kennedy

I’ve always been the relationship guy.

I love big, hard and fast … but unfortunately for me, that’s the quickest way to make a new romance crash and burn.

Moving to Wilde’s End, our not-so-abandoned town, is exactly the fresh start I need. What’s better than a town in the middle of nowhere and long days of hard work to swear off relationships? At least that’s what I think, until I meet Ziggy.

He’s the town electrician who has a weird habit of making sparks fly whenever I’m around him. He’s cute, snarky, and his piercings are hot as hell.

Too bad I don’t trust myself not to make the same mistakes I always do.

Ziggy

I’ve always been the weird loner. The strange kid who doesn’t talk.

So when Kennedy shows up in my life, with his big energy and sunny personality, I don’t know how to take him. I’m used to being the invisible shadow that goes unnoticed in the Wilde.

Kennedy makes me feel seen.

He doesn’t expect me to talk when the voices in my head get too loud, he doesn’t expect me to be funny or witty or anything that I’m not. He’s happy just to be around me, and that’s not something I’ve experienced before.

He’s sworn off dating. And I’ve never so much as been kissed.

But with the sunshine he brings to my life, it’s impossible to feel like a shadow anymore. I’m determined to win him over, no matter what it takes.

Goodreads

Amazon

Kennedy is too kind an too quick to love. His brothers tell him he scares everyone away with his clingyness. He really likes the beautiful silent man but he knows he has to treat this relationship differently than all his others so he says nothing anout his attraction.
Ziggy associates speaking with pain therefore he is selectively mute. Its better to stay silent than to embarrass himself by trying to speak but oh how he wishes it were easy for him to form words now. Ziggy really has a thing for Kennedy, the kind twin. As the pair grow closer, they find that words aren’t always needed to communicate but sometimes they are necessary to avoid unnecessary sadness.
This book was so good. I can’t wait to read book 3. I’m obsessed with these brothers and their town.

#review #enemiestolovers #mmromance Wilde’s End (Wilde Men book 1) by: Jacki James

Hudson

Give me the smallest reason to make a bad decision, and I’ll jump in with both feet. Case in point: thinking that drunkenly buying an abandoned town with my brothers is a good idea.

As builders, we plan to renovate and flip the town, maybe turn it into something worth seeing, but the longer we’re here, the more things feel … off.

It’s not until a bearded mountain man breaks into my room in the middle of the night and threatens for us to get out of his town that I realize Wilde’s End isn’t as abandoned as we were told.

But there’s nothing waiting for me in the life I left behind, and in making his demands, Wilde has accidentally tapped into my competitive side.

Terrible decisions? Me?

Wilde can bring it on.

Wilde

I escaped to Wilde’s End twenty years ago, and since then I’ve dedicated my life to the town and the people who live there. Because if I focus on others, I don’t have the time or energy to face everything I’ve been running from.

The Bellamy brothers coming to town is like three horsemen of the goddamn apocalypse. They leave destruction in their wake, and when the eldest, Hudson, ignores my very kind request to leave, it’s time to take things into my own hands. Protecting this town is all I know how to do.

But I’ve never faced someone like Hudson.

His stubbornness matches mine, and his attitude has an irritating way of worming under my skin. The more I push him, the harder he pushes back, until we’re locked in a game neither of us will walk away from.

With his smart mouth, bullheaded recklessness and those damn eyelashes I’m starting to question whether I can win this one.

But if I lose, this town isn’t the only thing on the line.

Goodreads

Amazon

Hudson and his brothers buy a town. Its a rundown ghost town they are going to renovate and hopefully sell for a profit.
Wilde doesn’t know who these new people are in his town but they need to leave and he tells them just that.
Hudson doesn’t really care what the other man has to say, he isn’t going anywhere. The constant arguing between the pair creates a sexual tension so thick theres no way one time will work anything out of their system. Add that to the fact that THEY REFUSE TO COMMUNICATE and they almost ruin themselves before they have a chance to get started.
This book was funny, sexy and a little sad. I had fun getting to know the brothers. I wonder which twin will get their story first?

Review by: Twinsie Melinda

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

Parker Stillwater and Laiken had a secret romance when Parker would come to visit the ranch each summer. Everything changed when Parker left to chase his dream of becoming a champion bull rider, leaving Laiken with a broken heart. After making one poor decision one night, Laiken gains her biggest blessing her son, Trace.

When Parker is injured after a bull riding incident he comes back to the one place that has always felt like home and makes it so Laiken is his personal Physical therapist. Laiken is determined not to let him back into her heart. Parker, on the other hand, is determined to prove that Laiken has always been the only woman he has ever loved and the only one he ever will.

Trace absolutely stole my heart. He is such a little firecracker who wants nothing more than to be just like Parker and the other cowboys on the ranch. I was laughing so hard when he thought he was sneaky because the guys let him get away with cussing when on the ranch and away from his momma. Then there was the whole “don’t tell them I got sick or they’ll take away my man card” moment that had me cracking up.

I loved watching Parker work to earn Laiken’s trust again and Laiken try to deny her feelings. Their chemistry never disappeared, but seeing him prove through his actions that he was all in made their second chance even sweeter. The ranch family was there every step of the way, reminding me why I love this series so much.

This story had me flying through the pages because I just had to know what was going to happen next. Every time I thought I had it figured out, S.J. Chaynie threw in another twist that I never saw coming.

I have loved every book in this series, and Every Single Second is another great story. These cowboys have completely stolen my heart, and now I am counting down the days until Ryder gets his story.

S.J. Chaynie is a small-town Texas girl who has found a love for writing. She enjoys writing romance, with a sprinkle of suspense, and a little humor. If she is not busy writing her newest ideas, she is spending time with her husband and two beautiful daughters. She believes a good book and a lot of laughs is the best medicine. She brings suspense, love, angst, and sometimes the occasional heartbreak to her stories. Always a HEA, but every character and story she holds close to her heart and hopes they touch yours as well.
