Eddie Alexander never meant to go to Cherry Creek.
Faster than he could unmake a bed, Eddie’s life is turned upside down and he’s out of school with nowhere to go but a home that’s never been his. When he gets to Cherry Creek, the first face he sees is Charlie Motel, his best friend’s brother and also his lifelong crush.
Charlie has always been the caretaker of his family, filling the roles of absentee father, loving mother, shoulder to cry on, tolerant husband, and whatever anyone else asked of him. He’s tired, he’s alone, and then Eddie shows up in need of help with an offer Charlie never saw coming.
Charlie’s answer is yes.
Eddie takes control and, for the first time in years, Charlie feels like he can breathe. He’s free of other people’s problems, he’s living his own life, and under Eddie’s thoughtful guidance, he can truly be faultless.
i was given this audiobook by the author for an honest review
hehehe oh this one is so far the funniest of the coupling, Charlie the oldest brother has been hooking up with one of the locals, they were just there for each other and wanting some company. Eddie, who was away at college Cameron’s best friend, the son of Cameron’s boyfriend Luke, oh the amount they have all known each other for all of their lives. Eddie was on getting kicked out of college after getting caught sleeping with his professor, and not knowing what to tell his dad he went to cherry creek to the motel to figure out what to do next with his life and what to tell his dad when he got back from his vacation with Cameron. One thing both Eddie and Charlie didn’t expect was to have odd feelings for each other and wanting to bang each other. Will they give in to their wants and needs or will they keep thinking of the other while relieving themselves during their alone time. oh this one was a good i can’t wait to get to the next one.
With over two dozen published romances to her name, Kate Hawthorne has built a recognizable brand around telling emotional stories that pack a figurative (and sometimes literal) punch.
Existing on a steady diet of wine and coffee, Kate spends her days dreaming up angsty stories full of heat, kink, and heart. Kate now lives in Louisville, where she writes romance, reads romance, and hides from the humidity.
Years ago I lost the one woman who’s ever been able to rock my world. When she disappeared into thin air I stopped caring, fucking whoever, whenever.
The one thing I didn’t plan for was seeing her face in all of these women.
No one could ever compare to her and here she is, her ghost haunting me every day.
I thought that relocating with the club to start our new charter would be the change I needed to move on, but what happens when I see her again. Only this time, she isn’t a ghost.
She’s real.
I am a GIANT MC reader. I was looking for something to read when a friend recommended this series to me. I had audio credits and grabbed the box set for the first few books. I am a huge audio lover so this made me super excited. I have got to say this narrator was not one I cared for….sorry Ken. I listened to the first 30% of the story and ended up buying the book to read the story. I found the narration for the book was not one I personally cared for. I hope others may enjoy his voice but for me, I will pass on future books of his.
This book has me excited because I love a good 2nd chance and have found a love for best friends sibling. This book hits both genres and I didn’t know it. Horse and Twisted, the President of the club are headed to the new town to see the new club house. Horse soon discovers the “one who got away” or ran away is the woman he was ready to claim. He also discovers this is also his best friend’s sister!! Needless to say, he is concerned with how his president and best friend will feel about this but more important he wants to know why this woman ran from him. He was ready to claim her and wants to know what happened.
Kenny fell hard for Horse and was stunned when he shows up in town with her brother. She has never forgotten him buuuut she is scared to go back down that path after what happened. First loves are hard to forget even when she shouldn’t love him.
The story is fun to meet new MC characters, see the dynamic of the members, the new town, and the new relationship. I loved Kenny. She was so strong and loyal but also afraid to tell her brother what happened to her 5 years ago.
I loved the chemistry between Kenny and Horse. I thought they were so much fun to read. The shower scene when she first saw him again was THE BEST!!!!

Her mountain man hero must make an impossible choice.
Emma
I’ve always been spontaneous, but this time I might have gone too far. Showing up at my brother’s remote cabin to surprise him for his birthday seemed like a good idea. But he’s nowhere to be found, the cabin’s locked up tight, and a snowstorm’s on the way. When his closest neighbor stops by, the gorgeous grumpy mountain man insists on taking me home with him until the storm passes. He’s burly and bossy, but I can tell there’s a kind heart buried under the layers of flannel.
Jackson
The last thing I need is to be snowed in with my best friend’s little sister. If anything happens between me and the beautiful curvy blonde, he won’t just end our friendship, he might even end me. It doesn’t matter that she’s impossible to resist. The sooner I get her out of my cabin, the better off we’ll both be. But how can I let her go when I know deep down she’s meant to be mine?
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
This is a sweet instalove story that hits all the right spots.
Jackson and the other bachelors in town are being harassed by Ruby. She is going to get those boys married so they can grow the town. She is a sweet lady who everyone knows. Jackson is grumbling about her idea she concocted without their approval when he sees a curvy woman scared of a wolf. The scared woman just happens to be Emma, his best friend’s sister AND the woman of his dreams. Emma is here to see her brother among other reasons when Jackson saves her.
Jackson and Emma get to “keeping each other warm” during the snowstorm but dread how her brother/his bestie will feel after they tell if they tell the secret.
Decisions are made and hearts are broken until someone realizes they need the other to complete their happiness.
Again this is a sweet inst-love story with all the things we romance readers love….I am looking forward to Ford is for February. I love a friends to lovers story!!

Cat and Mouse Duet, Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeling by H.D. Carlton

Trigger Warning: Book 1 ends on a cliffhanger. This duet is a dark romance that contains graphic violence, dub/non con, and deals with subject matters such as child trafficking and human sacrifice. If you have ANY triggers at all, this may not be the story for you.
Book 1 – Haunting Adeline
The Manipulator
I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me.
I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh.
But my words don’t affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave.
He’s always there, watching and waiting.
And I can never look away.
Not when I want him to come closer.
The Shadow
I didn’t mean to fall in love.
But now that I have, I can’t stay away.
I’m mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves.
The way she undresses…
I’ll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine.
And once she is, I’ll never let her go.
Not even when she begs me to.
While not required, it is highly suggested to read the novella, Satan’s Affair, first.
Author’s Note: This book ends on a cliffhanger. For CWs, please check the author’s website.
Book 2 – Hunting Adeline
The final installment to the Cat and Mouse Duet…
The Diamond
Death walks alongside me,
But the reaper is no match for me.
I’m trapped in a world full of monsters dressed as men, and those who aren’t as they seem.
They won’t keep me forever.
I no longer recognize the person I’ve become,
And I’m fighting to find my way back to the beast who hunts me in the night.
They call me a diamond,
But they’ve only created an angel of death.
The Hunter
I was born a predator,
With ruthlessness ingrained in my bones.
When what’s mine is stolen from me in the night,
Like a diamond hidden within a fortress,
I find that I can no longer contain the beast.
Blood will paint the ground as I tear apart this world to find her.
And bring her back to where she belongs.
No one will escape my wrath,
Especially not those who have betrayed me.
Warning: This is the second and final installment to the Duet. You must read Haunting Adeline first.
2. Stitched up Heart , Combat Hearts Book 1 by Tarina Deaton
(The whole series is AMAZING actually!!!)
As an Air Force medic, Bree Marks saw the worst the War on Terror had to dish out. Now a physical therapist, she uses her experience to help other veterans heal from their physical wounds; while she battles her own emotional damage.
Blaming himself for his best friend’s suicide, former Army Ranger Jase Larken, retreated from life. To honor his best friend’s memory and assuage his guilt, he started an outdoor adventure company to help veterans with PTSD.
Bree had better things to do than catch her cheating fiance in bed with another woman. Jase is something better – for a night at least. For the first time in years, Jase wanted more. When he finds her again, he doesn’t give her another chance to run.
Jase’s protectiveness grates on Bree’s independent nature. She’s dealt with her fair share of alpha-male, door kickers and doesn’t need one telling her what to do now. But as a new danger emerges, Bree and Jase must face their pasts, before someone’s obsession with Bree destroys any chance they have of a future.
Can be read as a stand alone. No cliffhangers within the story.
An independent gamma, a logical werewolf, and someone who threatens to tear them apart.
After a few failed attempts to connect romantically with humans, Adira accepts her single life and continues to thrive as the Alumbra Pack’s gamma. When her wolf claims the man across the room as theirs, however, she panics and runs.
While retrieving his sister from the pack who’d saved her, the last thing Luke expected was setting his eyes on his true mate. Unable to return to his pack without Adira, he sets out to woo the fascinating and formidable woman.
Choosing which pack to settle down with should be the biggest trial ahead of them. But when someone sets out to tear them a part, the ever logical and calm Luke learns there isn’t anything he wouldn’t do for the woman he loves.
Can he ask her to stay with a target on her back, or will he choose to leave his now-whole family behind?

This is an adult novel intended for mature readers. Book 2 of the Knights of Paradise MC Series. Does end on a clifhanger, part of a continuing series.
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
LAWD have I been excited for this book!!! The end of book 1 is a cliffhanger so if you haven’t read Mav and Tanner you gotta STOP and read book 1 first.
Princess AKA Dani and Dom AKA Travis are so frustrating and so yummy at the same damn time. I mean yes I get Travis pushing her away since he was raised by Mav and Dani’s family but….DAYUM the chemistry between the two of them is offfff the charts!!!
Like I said this book is picking up at Tanner and Mav’s Party. Dani feels like crap and Tanner takes her to the store when they are abducted by the Serpents…grrrrr. Tanner and Dani are freaking out wondering when then MC will come and get them. Travis realizes he is done hiding his love for Dani. He needs to get her back and tell her how much he loves her.
The time hope backwards to see how their love came to be was so innocent initially and then not so innocent!! LOL I absolutely love seeing the roles being reversed and Mav giving Travis the same shit after admitting his love for Dani.
I am so excited for the next book. I can’t wait for Widow and Lexi. I am guessing that is where this is headed???? Maybe?? But the last line of the book from Dani about a person from the past left me GASPING!!! For real I love this series!!!

This is an adult novel intended for mature readers.
Book 1 of the Knights of Paradise MC Series. Does end on a cliffhanger, part of a continuing series.
I was given this book by the author for an honest review.
First up, I saw a booktok trailer and was like “HEEEEY GIRL” to the authors. I essentially asked nicely…cough cough begged…..for an ARC of this book. MC is my JAM and it sounded like something I would love. It hits all my favs…Best friend’s sibling/age gap/MC. I was super thrilled when she said YES. I got the book and downloaded thinking I would get a chapter or two in before I put it down to do housework. PFT Housework be damned. Maverick and Tanner had my FULL attention, but I was side eyeing Dom and Dani. Don’t worry I got questions you two!!
Now I know people are haters for cliffhangers, but I love them. I really do. So, I will warn you this is a cliffy but it’s a good one. Does that make sense? Prolly not for you cliffy haters. But for real, I loved it and where it dropped at is a good ending/beginning for the next story.
Ok so Maverick/Zeke and Tanner/Vix. This book runs you through the gamete. Tanner starts to story as a wide-eyed boarding school virgin with no idea who her brother is and especially what a MC Club is. When the story cliffies, we see a strong woman who know what she wants and who she wants. My favorite scene of the book is when she has had it with Maverick’s shit. For Real!! Our girl is over it and she tells him what is up. It is up to him to make the changes because she is DONZO. But my next favorite scene is when they are bed shopping for his room…Maverick is a dirty dirty boy!!! He plays soooo dirty to get what he wants, and that is Tanner!
Maverick is the MC president, and he loves the lifestyle. He doesn’t think he should settle down and honestly doesn’t really have any intensions. However, Tanner makes him want more and importantly makes him FEEL more. The feelings she causes in him are powerful and super confusing to the manwhore.
Now Dom is Tanners brother who is all “Hand off” buuuuut dude uhm you don’t seem to be keeping your hands off Mavericks little sister, Dani. Pot Meet Kettle!! I can’t wait to see what happens in book 2. I think Mr. Dom is getting the much-needed eye opener he needs to claim what his heart desires most!
S.J. Chaynie is a new author who had a wild idea while sitting in the ocean under the Texas sky. She decided to write a book. She loves all things mystery, suspense, love, and betrayal, all mixed in with sarcasm and humor. Her first published book is Falcon Point: Deception, which is the first book in the Falcon Point Series. She hopes to bring all the feels through her stories to all those mystery/romance loving hearts!
I lost my job, scholarship, and apartment in a trifecta of crap luck.
The last thing I want to do is run back home to my parents with my tail tucked. As luck would have it, my old roommate, Mason Davis, has a compelling—if slightly unorthodox solution—to my financial dilemma.
His suggestion?
A live stream feed of me enjoying a little steamy fun with HIM. The smoking hot guy I’ve fantasized about countless times before.
Surely, a tenacious bookworm like me can figure out how to let go of her inhibitions for one night.
After all, going viral is a good thing… right?
ANGIE Review –
I received this book from the author for free for an honest review.
Lawd ya’ll when Cindy showed me the title for this book I was cracking up. I couldn’t wait to read it. When she asked if I wanted an ARC…legit I jumped. I am so glad I did. This book has so many amazing lines and scenes. I was giggling on my chair on the deck. I legit gave the “Why are you looking at me” stare to my husband when he was all “Lets do something.” UHM NO Jules and Mason are making a PORN! LOL
SO Jules and Mason lived together with a snot and Mason moved out long before Jules. She was all kinds of a mess because on top of losing her housing she needs a job. She is at the club whichis never does and is drinking. She makes a fool of herself a couple times and thankfully Noah is there for them. LOL Jules and Mason reconnect and he offers her a room in his condo. Ya know the one he has also ready paid for. Well the comedy of what happens just needs to be read but needless to say Jules is not about t move in when…again …she has zero place to go.
Jules moves in and then Mason tells her is secret…ya know he does ALLFANS>>>GASP!! I know right!! SO after a quick chat he says he would love to scene with her for a cool $5K. When a girl is down a girl needs to do some drastic measures.
SO Mason and Jules start to blur the line between roommates/dating couple/work mates. They have some misunderstanding, jealousy, miscommunication, and of course a dash of “You trying to steal my girl”!!
The story was perfect. It was a great read and for sure I want a book on Mel and Noah.
Ariel Kimber and her coven are under imminent threat from the Council. They are monsters, without fangs or horns, who hide behind their mantle of power, and they will do anything to get what they want.
The problem is, they want Ariel. They want her so badly that every other person around her is in danger just by being near her.
The Council forgot one very important fact though—Ariel Kimber is no victim. She’s a survivor, and the Council is stupid to think they can simply take her and destroy everything and everyone she loves.
She will do whatever it takes to keep her coven safe, even if she has to go through hell to do it. They are all more than willing to fight alongside her because she’s finally agreed to spend the rest of her life tied to them in every way possible.
They have a lot to fight for.
The goal is to make it to the other side without losing anyone along the way because they want their happily ever after.
And they want to be able to say till death do us part.
But life for Ariel Kimber is never that easy.
And it never will be.
ANGIE’s Review –
I received this book from the author for free for an honest review by that sexy bitch Mary Martel.
Between texting Mary to yell at her and texting her to sob to her…this book was everything fans of the series want to read. There is so much that happens in this book to move the story forward and answer questions but start so many new ones.
I am so afraid to spoiler this book that I am going to keep my review kinda vague in parts. I want you to be just as devasted and excited as I was. Lemme just say prepare for Chapters 14-17 because they are so heavy. My stomach was in KNOT…KNOTS…..tears….heartbreak….guys…so much happens in this part of the book.
Now don’t go thinking the rest of the book isn’t important because LAWD it is. There are so many parts of the book I need to discuss like Rain, Romero, and Isobel. I mean Jesus these 3. The crazy triangle!!!
Can I saw Q and Ariel arguing are pretty epic and as always hilarious for you the reader. Q is my favorite of the coven guys and of course he is an epic fuck up with his girl and understanding when she needs girly stuff. But I love Damien and Jules more this novel. Jules for standing up to Rain and Damien for understanding Ariel and her girl ways. Tyson is the best friend we need and love. Dash…sigh,,,he is just sensitive Dash. The twins made my heart so happy in this book. They open up and really show us how much they love being loved by Ariel. They understand her fears and do everything to let her know she is perfect for them.
The Council…guys…so much shit happens this book and shit will reverberate after shit that happens this book. I am so nervous and excited for what will happen after this book. GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vague reviews so as to not post spoilers!!!!!! Its so tough!!! But I need you to be just as devastated and broken as I was!
There was a new character introduced…..friends……your heart….it will be destroyed and yet it will make everything right with the coven. Does that make sense? It will trust me. I loved and hated this character. Loved them because of who they are but hated their back story. If they are involved in the Council it cant be a good one right????
As always I am a needy reader and want so much more. I can’t wait to see what happens next!!!
He’d long given upon finding his mate, but when he does, is she too broken to trust their bond?
Meeting boys after curfew should have been innocent fun, but it turned Rosalia’s life upside down. Escaping the werewolf compound wasn’t an option, so she did her best to survive the twisted hell she’d been dragged to. Her dreams of having a real chance at life had been smothered by guilt and the realization she was too broken, even if she ever did see her loved ones again.
Peter had nearly given up on finding his true mate, but a mission to rescue a pack member’s sister leads him to Rosalia. If he’d known why she’d been impossible to locate, he would have left the pack in his beta’s care and moved mountains to save her sooner.
He must find the strength to rein in his wolf’s need to claim her and give her the necessary space to heal. Her body, heart, and wolf are at odds, with merely a thin string keeping her tattered spirit from coming apart. Can Rosalia learn to trust Peter, or are the jagged, invisible scars too deep?
Angie’s Review –
I purchased this book.
I LOVED PETER!! I mean I have loved him since meeting him in the Broderick series. You do not have to read the Broderick series to read this book OR the following books in the series BUT I highly suggest it so you understand the relationships.
Peter…he is the best alpha. He loves his pack and those he deems pack like the witches in the Broderick coven. He is fierce in protecting those he loves. He is happy with his life, but he yearns for his mate. He is happy for Brandy and her siblings but…yeah why can’t he find HERE!!! Our calm cool alpha is outta his mind lately and he is not sure WHY. He can’t focus and is just hot tempered which is not Peter. When the pack and the coven go to save some women, he is beyond mad to see his mate there…in the room of abused and battered women AND a sister to Claudia.
Rosalie is the brave one of the group. She has done lots of things that many would find disgusting to survive abuse and horrors. When she realizes they are being rescued and its by her sister, she is overjoyed and then…..she sees him. The large wolf is her mate. She is scared given she has seen how alpha tend to treat women.
Rosie and Peter have a lot to overcome but Peter becomes more the man we know and love. He is doing everything to make sure she knows she is safe and wanted no matter what she as been through. He is doing everything to put her at ease to him and his caring. The waters these two navigate was pretty wicked at times but Peter never faulters. GUYS I loved him even more!!! GAH!! PETER!!!
I am so excited for this series and absolutely love that the Brodericks are just as front and center in this series as Peter’s pack was in their story. But I really wanna know whats up with Xander but Lea and Joel!! EEEEP!!!!
I cannot wait!!
Cosmo has been living in Rawr County for the last 10 years because he hates himself and wants to be miserable. Dragon Isle was no good for him. Everyone there was too happy and joyful. A dragon like him deserves to be unhappy.
When his family tries to set him up with a childhood friend to date, he blurts out a lie: he’s engaged.
It’s not true.
But when they surprise him with an unexpected visit, he grabs his nearest employee, Athena, and introduces her as his fiancée.
What could possibly go wrong?
Angie’s Review –
I was given this book by the author for an honest review.
Ok here goes. So Sophie is about the most adorable person I have ever met. I have read several of her alter ego books but have been looking to sink my teeth into on of these books but life man…not enough time in the day, right? SO, she offered this ARC and I jumped. Its in a “series” but all the books can be read in any order. I didn’t have any issues reading the 3 or 4th book in the series. Every side character was briefly introduced and then off we went.
Cosmo and Athena…. holy hawt burn. Holy pants melting off…. holy office spankings. Oh yeah you read that right…. OFFICE. SPANKING!
Ok ok so the Office Spanking was to get you hooked now lets really get down to the story, shall we??
Cosmo is a grumpy…..errrr……brooding dragon. His friends are all mating up and he is in love with his secretary who is in love with Benjamin. UGH Gross Benny. Anyway, he looks forward to seeing her every single day. Since she is his paralegal, it does happen all the time.
Althena is head over heels in love with her boss. Ya know, the dragon. She does everything can can to be close to him like going back to school to be a paralegal. She is so afraid of looking like the pathetic girl she is, and maybe in hopes of making him jealous, she makes but a boyfriend.
One phone call and visit from Cosmo’s family changes EVERYTHING for them. Cosmos mom and dad want him to come home to meet another chick to possible settle him down on Dragon Isle to have some dragon babies. Cosmo is not down with this idea, so he throws Athena under the bus and she goes along with it.
I mean they live together for a week and pretend to be getting married. They know so much about the other how can it go wrong?? LAWD the feelings that come rolling off each of them not knowing how the other really feels. The chemistry was so thick but the slow burn…….I almost combusted!!!
This story was sooooo good. I sat and devoured it in a couple hours. Now I need to grab the other books in the series and I am so looking forward to Jennifer, The Red Panda’s book with Lewis!!!
“The arrival of the Prophetess will bring both hope and destruction for the wolves of the world.
She alone will be able to save them–or damn them.”
The dark prophecy that has been passed down since the first pack of shifters is coming to fruition– and I am at the center of it.
An orphaned human taken in by a pack of wolves. The fate of their existence in my hands.
I’ve been treated as the dirt beneath the pack’s paws for years.
Will they be able to accept my new role when my powers surface? Will I be able to forgive them enough to help them?
The bright spot amongst all the turmoil…finding my three fated. Until one of them rejects our bond.
The one thing I know for sure…death is coming for us all, soon, and the person responsible for it? Their betrayal is going to alter the shifter world forever.
I’ll conquer my powers, protect the packs, and live happily ever after with my men, right?
Wrong.
No one is prepared for the vile truths of my visions to come to light.

Author Note: This book has a 18+ warning and is intended for mature audiences. It is book one in The Pack Prophecy series which will end in a cliffhanger.
Angie’s Review –
I purchased this book and audio,
The narration of the story *Chef’s Kiss* was absolutely perfect. Heather and Jeffrey brought the characters to life 110%. I will be honest in that I LOVE Jeffrey’s audio and when I see his name, I am super excited.
I grabbed this book because R. L. Caulder will be attending a book signing I am going too. She has so many books to pick BUT this one had audio. It was the winner. I gotta admit chance is why I grabbed the book, but I am so addicted to Kira and her men.
I loved the fact this book was kinda a shifter’s version of Cinderella…I mean she is a gross human the Alpha and his wife, Maya, took in. But once the Alpha’s mate was killed by daimoma, he blames her and is keeping her in misery to punish her.
Kira had only known happiness the few years she was with Jameson and his mother, Maya. Once Maya was killed she was only bullied and teases horrible by all the wolves in the pack Jameson and Sophia were the worst ones to her. There was only one bright spot in her day. Milo always would protect her. He has made it clear he has feelings for her, but she knows once the full moon hits when he turns 21 just like the rest of the pack, he will find his mate and forget her. She guards her heart and hopes one day she can find happiness too.
The closer the pack comes to the next full moon, Kira notices Seth, Jameson’s bestie, looking at her like a pork chop. She is angry that NOW he admits he has feelings. Sorry Seth not happening. Kira does as she is always expected to do when the full moon hits and everyone changes….even KIRA!!!??? Milo, Seth, AND Jameson all run to her because they feel the pull to their “Fated Mate”. The wolves all see who for her she is but the men have issue except Milo. Seth soon realizes he needs to listen to his wolf but Jameson…well he is a dick. Mega dick who is so blinded with hatred for Kira.
Kira soon learns she is has the powers to save the shifters but a cliffy happens when she soon discovers what is happening and who is leading the daimoma.
I can’t wait to see what happens next!!!
I’ve spent the last four years in a Catholic boarding school. A very different world from the one I have found myself being forced into. There is a dangerous game being played, and I haven no choice but to be under his protection. He’s the king, and expects me to bow just like all the others. The more he demands, the more I resist. He’s not just too old for me, or just the president of a motorcycle club. He’s my brother’s best friend, and if he wants me as his queen, he better prove he’s worthy enough for me to put on the crown.
This is an adult novel intended for mature readers.
Book 1 of the Knights of Paradise MC Series. Does end on a cliffhanger, part of a continuing series.
Angie’s Review –
I was given this book by the author for an honest review.
First up, I saw a booktok trailer and was like “HEEEEY GIRL” to the authors. I essentially asked nicely…cough cough begged…..for an ARC of this book. MC is my JAM and it sounded like something I would love. It hits all my favs…Best friend’s sibling/age gap/MC. I was super thrilled when she said YES. I got the book and downloaded thinking I would get a chapter or two in before I put it down to do housework. PFT Housework be damned. Maverick and Tanner had my FULL attention, but I was side eyeing Dom and Dani. Don’t worry I got questions you two!!
Now I know people are haters for cliffhangers, but I love them. I really do. So, I will warn you this is a cliffy but it’s a good one. Does that make sense? Prolly not for you cliffy haters. But for real, I loved it and where it dropped at is a good ending/beginning for the next story.
Ok so Maverick/Zeke and Tanner/Vix. This book runs you through the gamete. Tanner starts to story as a wide-eyed boarding school virgin with no idea who her brother is and especially what a MC Club is. When the story cliffies, we see a strong woman who know what she wants and who she wants. My favorite scene of the book is when she has had it with Maverick’s shit. For Real!! Our girl is over it and she tells him what is up. It is up to him to make the changes because she is DONZO. But my next favorite scene is when they are bed shopping for his room…Maverick is a dirty dirty boy!!! He plays soooo dirty to get what he wants, and that is Tanner!
Maverick is the MC president, and he loves the lifestyle. He doesn’t think he should settle down and honestly doesn’t really have any intensions. However, Tanner makes him want more and importantly makes him FEEL more. The feelings she causes in him are powerful and super confusing to the manwhore.
Now Dom is Tanners brother who is all “Hand off” buuuuut dude uhm you don’t seem to be keeping your hands off Mavericks little sister, Dani. Pot Meet Kettle!! I can’t wait to see what happens in book 2. I think Mr. Dom is getting the much-needed eye opener he needs to claim what his heart desires most!
We are THE TWINSIES… We love to read…We love to promote the authors we read… and we love to stir up TROUBLE… It's who we are and what we do
(The whole series is AMAZING actually!!!)
