Something horrible happened and Clover has been on the run from her family and her pack ever since she was a teenager. Always on the move, never staying in the same place for very long or putting down any roots, she’d lived life like a gypsy for years.
She’d left all she had known behind and kept a secret from her father all this time, hoping to one day be able to return home and reconnect with the man.
Until one day she received a message that she’s waited too long and she’s run all out of time.
She’s forced to return home and claim her rightful place in the pack she grew up in, and ran away from, as the alphas daughter.
Going home isn’t exactly what she expected it to be and finding her alphas there waiting for her to claim not only them but her rightful place at the head of the pack isn’t anything she ever wanted. But it’s hers to claim and she has a choice to make.
Keep running for the rest of her life or claim her rightful place at the head of the pack? Put that way it’s really not much of a choice at all.
I was given this book by the author for an honest review.
Mary…girl your stories…what is in that head of yours???? I don’t know but keep with the crazy, fucked-up, sexy as sin, and delicious alpha stories you seem to come up with.
This story is about Clover who has had a wee bit of trauma in her life. She ran for fear of what might happen but now knows its time to return to face her past and help her pack. Her father, the pack alpha, always knew she would return and had 3 of the sexiest wolves ready to back her upon arrival. When Clover arrives with little Rosie everyone freaks and soon secrets begin to spill. Clover is now having to defend her pack from a rival while also slowing her libido down over these 3 sexy guards.
This is another solid story from Mary, and I would love to see more from Clover especially if they spill over into Ariel’s series like the Salt and Pepper Twins did in this novella!!
Mary Martel was born in West Michigan and spent the majority of her life there. She currently resides in North Dakota with her husband, and her two beautiful daughters. She’s an avid reader, and when not writing she can be found with her nose stuck in a book.
This book was the best ending of the Bullet series.
This book gives us the final HEA for all the members of the LFS band. We get to be a part of the weddings for Sam, Brian, and Dane. We get to meet and fall for Sam’s mom, Hannah, who all the guys call mom too. I think seeing Jet’s persona disappear for Clay to become front and center with was the best.
This book is the perfect catch up for the band mates, their significant others, and the ending for the band. I loved the babies in the story as well. We see the guys growing up and growing into dad’s.
This was the perfect ending to a favorite series of mine.
Review by Twinsie Melinda
I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
I have loved this series since the beginning. Jet/Clay has always been my favorite ever since we were first introduced to him. I enjoyed seeing all these guys go from young unattached young men to finding their person and start their families. I love that they are still close friends even though they are starting their own lives. We get to know Mom Hannah, Sam’s mom, can I say I fell in lover with her just like the guys did. She is a strong woman that wants to make it on her own with no help.
I was sad to see the Bullet Series end but this ending made my heart happy. We got to see all the band members grow into the adults they are today but they are still able to have fun. All three weddings were so different but fit each couple perfectly.
I am going to miss all the guys of Last Five Seconds especially Clay but I know they are living their best lives.

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.
At Fairview-Teller High, light mixes with dark. Good with evil. And heroes with villains. But there’s a reason the students call it Fairy Tale High. They’ll get their happily ever after, even if they have to fight for it.
What would you do if the guy you hated moved into your house?
Queen bee Jessa had it all—money, beauty, happiness, popularity.
At least, she did, until the school’s bad boy– the guy she can’t stand– became her live-in problem.
Adam had his own demons to deal with and didn’t need Jessa’s stuck-up rich girl drama added to it.
They tried to stay away from each other. But the more Jessa learns about Adam, the more she loses her grip on her hatred of him.
When her best friends and the rest of the student body suddenly blacklist her, Adam is the last person Jessa thought she’d turn to.
He can’t stop himself from wanting her. But his problems are just beginning.
Not even fate can save these two from their curses….
Protect Me Not is a young adult, enemies to lovers, forced proximity contemporary fairy tale retelling mash up of Aladdin/ Beauty and the Beast.
Within less than twenty-four hours of proposing to the love of Gray’s life, Liva disappeared. No note. No trace. No explanation. Nothing. Now, five years later, she’s resurfaced and Gray will stop at nothing to make Livia his again. But is love enough to forgive an unforgivable wrong?
Livia had less than sixty seconds to make a decision that would change her life forever. She sacrificed. She suffered. She survived. Now that she’s back, she’s determined that no one ever discover her shameful secret – especially the only man she’s ever loved. But will hiding the past destroy her future?
I received this ebook from the author for an honest review but I did purchase the audio book recently.
The narration for this story was *Chef’s Kiss* outstanding . The narrations nailed each of the characters and made Gray and Livvy real while I was plugging in listening to their story.
Have you ever read a blurb and thought “Damn, I need this book?” Well when I saw this blurb that is EXACTLY what I thought. It had a dark kinda vibe but a 2nd chance love story and my soul just needed it. I mean when you read Lies, Betrayal and Deceit in the blurb….hooked I tell ya just HOOKED!!!!
This book is about two very in love souls who have been torn apart. Gray is the cocky arrogant man who loves Livvy with his entire being. Livvy is the shy waitress who falls in crazy love with the rich guy. They get engaged and HEA time right? Well that is what should have happened but a dark secret forced Livvy to run away from her heart. She leaves and Gray is mess but so is she.
Five year later Livvy is away from her nightmare with the help of her friend Grant. She is making a life for herself but always looking over her shoulder when she bumps into Gray. The two connect eyes and BOOM Gray will not let her go. He finds her and peruses her, forcing her to just submit and agree to loving him all this time. Gray is mess of emotion. He needs to know why but Livvy shuts down. She fears telling him her shame will ruin what they might have in the future.
Friends, the twists in the book….AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…just AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH….I mean I had tears and then I was mad and then I was jumping and freaking out going “OMG” and “STFU” plus a few random growls outta pure frustration from one woman who will not let Gray go….GIRL her a $5 go buy a dang clue already!!!
I am literally finishing the review and jumping into book 2. The build-up has my heart pitter pattering…I mean I love it when a player falls and the fact of who he is falling for…even better!!

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).
Love in the Adirondacks—where hearts come together like the moon and the stars shining bright in the sky, showing the boats the way home at night.
The Wedding Driver: He’s been making dreams come true for a decade. Never in a million years did he believe his dream was a boat ride away.
Tonya Johnson has been in love with the elusive Foster Landon for as long as she can remember. However, other than their mutual business arrangement of her wedding planning business and the fact that he takes newlyweds around the bay on his antique boat shortly after their nuptials, he barely gives her the time of the day. Well, she’s tired of being ignored and decides it’s time Foster Landon takes her out on a proper date.
Foster Landon had his heart broken once and he doesn’t plan on letting that happen again. While he believes in love, it’s not for him. Not anymore. That is until Tonya asked him to take him for a boat ride. And not a wedding ride. He should say no, but he couldn’t resist her smile. Besides, of all the wedding planners in the area, she brought him the most business. Who was he to say no? However, he wasn’t prepared to lose his heart and find himself wanting to become a groom.
I purchased this audio book.
I love a good romance and I needed something after reading a dark romance. I have read Jen’s stories before and loved the “feel good” love story so I knew this would be the perfect palette cleanser for me.
Tonya and Foster, LAWD ya’ll are a hot mess. They both want to be with the other but they both have fears….UBER FEARS. Tonya is afraid of losing her best friend. She would rather be with him as a friend then not at all. Foster, damn he has a giant-sized fear closet. He has every single right to be afraid but at the same time he is standing still while time flies by him.
When Tonya takes that step forward, it delights and scares Foster. He jumps forward and then runs the heck backward. I felt the couple had a lot of back and forth. Both afraid but also hurting the other with the indecisions. They both need to take a step back at times since they…well he mainly…runs for the hills.
I enjoyed the story except for the miscommunications but hey who wants to see hurt lovers? No one right!! But I did enjoy the twisted and weaving Foster’s past with his wife, child, and his past. I loved Tonya’s grandpa Maxwell. He was the best side character ever.
I didn’t realize this book was part of a series so now I want to go and listen to the story of Tonya’s sisters and their stories. The ladies were great big sisters who also gave their sister a kick in the butt when she needed.

Grab a glass of vino, kick back, relax, and let the romance roll in…
I am deeper in love with Thane than I was in the beginning when I bowed at his feet. We have created a beautiful family and I’m in the midst of preparing for the premiere of my second documentary. A film I’ve fought for with my life—literally.
My joy is doubled now that Rytsar Durov has returned where he belongs. A cowboy wedding, a trip to the cabin, and adventures on the Isle await me.
With the premiere of my second documentary fast approaching, I find myself on the precipice of triumph or disaster. But I am ready to face my destiny the same way I did on my first day at the Training Center…without fear.
This epic conclusion will have your heart soaring and your soul forever changed.
I received this book from the authors for an honest review.
The finale book. What a ride we have been on through the years with this series. We have seen so many heart flutters and many heart breaks. We have seen lots of OHHHH HEY and OHHH NOOOO scenes. LOL.
We have seen so much with our favorite group from the training center. So many characters have grown into outstanding characters who I adore, and I never thought I would say that about The Wolf. Trust me. He has grown into an amazing character. Tono is just as he was when he met him, humble and kind. Lea is Lea. The best side kick you could ever want to have on your side. Master Anderson…OMG the pranks were flowing in the novels with him. Mary…..even though you could be a mega BISH you did love our girl Brie beyond even the limits I thought you had.
Sir, Rytsar and Brie. These 3 have made my heart happy and whole the more they explored together. I love his character and seeing him be an Uncle was truly memorable.
Sir. From the man who never wanted to collar anyone and now seeing the amazing husband, partner, and daddy.
Brie. Her character development has grown as she has grown from the young girl selling cigarettes to the successful movie director.
The series finale has everything you the fan of the series will want. It had funny Lea jokes, Mary being Mary, Rytsar/Sir/Brie fun, Master Anderson pranks and of course the love of this family of friends. I really don’t know what to say because the journey is a great ride for all of the fans. It is the perfect icing on our favorite flavor cake. I will miss this group but I look forward to what new stories Red will be writing for us.

I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.
This is the ending of the series. I have been on this wonderful journey throughout the years with Brie. To see her grow from a newbie trainee to the woman she has become was an amazing experience.
I loved all the family that Brie and Sir have surrounded themselves with. Some of these characters may not have the best of families growing up but they have made an amazing family with their friends. I am sad that we will not have more of Master Anderson, Rytsar, Wallace, Tono, Mary, Lea and the others from the training center. They all had their struggles over the years but they always come together and support each other no matter what.
I enjoyed seeing Master Anderson’s wedding and the shenanigans leading up to it. We all know there was going to be something when it came to him. I will miss all the pranks from our Mater Anderson. Just as we got to see Brie grow into the woman she is we also saw Lea and Mary grow and evolve into the woman they are today. Lea always had a joke to lighten any situation. Mary and Wallace were the two that I wasn’t sure about in the beginning of the series but they both surprised me in the end. Rytsar has always been my favorite from the beginning. I absolutely loved the bond he has with Hope and Antony and how he dotes over them. Getting glimpse into all the characters’ lives. There were so many amazing scenes in this book.
I have mixed emotions about this series ending. Thank you, Red Phoenix, for allowing me to join Brie on her amazing journey. Although I am going to miss everyone it was a fun ride over the years.
The rock gods from Licks of Leather wow the world with their raw lyrics and electrifying tunes. But nothing about the rock-star life—especially whirlwind tours, banging parties, and eager groupies—can mute the demons that put each on their personal highway to hell.
Well now isn’t this some sexy chemistry I read!! This is the best prequel I have read in a long time. Honestly, Jenna gives us a taste of each of the band members. We see how wild and out of control they are so it makes me wanna meet the woman who will tame each of them.
Burke and Sofia were absolute FIRE!! Their chemistry was sooo palpable in this novella. Man, I am buying book 1 ASAP to see them finally crash and combust together!!!
But dudes the condom story made me gag a little. They are nasty dudes!!!

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?
The first book in the series is always the hardest. By the time you finish it you’ve fallen in love with the secondary characters and become eager to learn more about them.
When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
In the case of my St. Fleur series I had to make sure each of their conflicts was unique to the characters. If it’s not I lose not only the readers interest by my own. No one wants to read a boring, repetitive book let alone write it.
Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?
Take your time. Sometimes walking away is the best thing you can do until the fog clears.
On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?
Three to four hours on a normal writing day, sometimes more.
Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.
Picking a favorite character is like picking a favorite child! All of my characters are special to me.
If any of your books were to be made into a movie, who are the celebrities that would star in it? What book and who?
Hmmm… I always have a hard time with this question. What about Not Playing fair and Henry Cavill and Jessica Mas.
What is your definition of success?
I’ll let you know when I finally define it for myself. Ha!

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?
The others, hands down!
When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
Lots of ideas from movies, and having a great imagination have never failed me.
Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?
Take your time. It can be stressful and sometimes, and remember we don’t have to get it right the first time. Rewrites are a necessary evil.
On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?
I usually spend at least 8 hours a day writing. Usually more.
Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.
My favorite character would be Ethan, (my menage duet). He deals with his desires of wanting two women, his best friends. Not only that but he stumbles on a hidden secret of his adoption, his adopted father is also is bio dad. He deals with and learns that forgiveness is a priceless gift.
What is your definition of success?
My definition of success is having fun while I write. The day I dread writing a story it’ll no longer be the vision I want. I just want to bring a smile to my readers!

Sara Whitney, author of sexy, sunny contemporary romance
When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?
They’re all hard in their own way! As important as it is to start strong, I often find myself having to sort through a million previously established details by the time I get to the final book in the series. Wait, I said he did WHAT for a job? I described him as being from WHAT state? I’ve sometimes written myself into a current with decisions I made months (or years!) before, and I have to bend the current story to make it match the details in the previous ones.
When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
I also look for new tropes and new character types to play with. If I can surprise myself with a plot twist or dynamic bit of banter, I hope it’ll surprise readers too.
Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?
Be easy on yourself! If you need a break, take a break. The manuscript will still be there tomorrow (or next week or heck, next month). Sometimes your creative well needs to be refilled with a TV show or a nap or the new release from your favorite author. You’re not Supergirl, so don’t hold yourself to impossible standards.
If any of your books were to be made into a movie, who are the celebrities that would star in it? What book and who?
Tempting Taste, the first book in my Cinnamon Roll Alphas series, would be spectacular with Chris Hemsworth and Emma Stone.
What is your definition of success?
I love leaving a mark on readers. If someone’s day is made a little lighter by one of my books, that’s a success to me.
