Charlie Abrams didn’t know what she’d find when she drove down the gravel driveway of her new home. It certainly wasn’t the sexy cowboy coming out of her barn wearing no shirt, low slung jeans, and dirty boots. Fresh out of a nasty divorce, the last thing she needs is another man.

Caleb Armstrong thought he was taking a new job training horses for a city slicker wannabe where he could make some quick money and move on until he ran into his new boss. Charlie Abrams wasn’t supposed to be an experienced trainer with her hopes set on taking the cutting horse business by storm.

Together they’ll burn up the sheets and ride out some trouble on the ranch, but will they be able to see past the hot nights and sweaty bodies to decide if there is a future worth fighting for?

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

He doesn’t remember.
In the beginning, women and alcohol were one in the same. Until he met her.
The pain and heartache he caused her died when he was shot and fell into a coma.
Waking up is the only way he can get back to Maxine Stanton while she does everything she can to push him away.

She hates him.
Every fiber of her being loathes the man she fell in love with but she can’t control her heart and wants him just the same.
When Dale Michaels finally wakes up, she realizes they need to end this once and for all, before it destroys them both.

When an unexpected source rips through what they’ve worked hard to maintain, only then do they realize the full potential of their love.

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

Max and Dale.  Dale and Max.  What a hot mess you two are!!  OMG Like for realz.  You two both need to go away and just eff each other until it’s all fixed…LOL

If the beginning prologue doesn’t set the tone for this book and make you tear up, well you my friend are heartless…lol….and maybe you and Tyler should date??!!  EWWW Tyler..smh…..

So as we all know Dale is a DB.  He treated our girl horrible because he was freaked out about his feelings for her.  Not a good excuse as his actions caused Max to lose the baby and in essence lose herself.

Max is a mess because she hates and loves Dale.  She loves him because you can’t stop what the heart wants but she hates him for being the cause of her miscarriage and loss of her daughter.  She hates him for not waking up from his coma and loves him for allowing her a little peace in her life.

Dale wakes up and doesn’t remember everything except he loves Max.  He doesn’t understand or remember everything that happened and it is making his crazy.  Why won’t she forgive him?  What did he do that was so bad?

Our couple is pushing and pulling away and then crashing into each other so much in this book it becomes so toxic.

When the “bad guys” come into play again our couple has even more baggage to deal with because it strips Max and Dale bare.  They must figure out what they want and what they need vs what is in the best interest for each other.  Sometimes love just isn’t enough even when you love with you whole heart!!

Dale and Max put us readers through it this book.  If you are a fan of the series, you won’t be shocked at the push and pull dynamic but then again you might be shocked at how sweet and tender Dale can be.  It even knocked me for a loop.  Much like Max, I needed him to be the a$$ we all knew not this tender man!

Max needs some counseling with Dr. Santos and a few happy pills to pull her head outta her butt but I loved her strength.  She didn’t go easily with Dale and fought it tooth and nail.

Last thoughts…Coby is still my beating heart but that Stone guy….HRMMMMM..yeah him I am watching with a lot of interest!!

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.

“Above all, be the HEROINE of your own life…” ~ Nora Ephron

Kaid has watched as members of his clan have found and claimed their One, their Mate. Even the female that he had once hoped to claim as his own has found and claimed her One. He’s lonely, he’s tired of waiting, and his Bear is growing bitter and despondent watching from the side, never gifted with his own. He’s tired of hurting. Then a visit from an old friend delivers his heart’s desire. He’s speechless. She is beyond all he ever dreamed. But there’s a problem; she’s more Alpha than he is, housing a Monster that even she is afraid to release. And the little fact that he failed her before he ever knew she existed; how can she forgive him for his failure if he cannot even consider forgiving himself?

Delilah was born in captivity. Her parents murdered. All she has ever known is rules, permissions, cruelty, forced to barter in trade each day for her very survival. The concept of love, family and happiness mean nothing to her; they are merely words. Her captor leaves one day, never to return. She believes she’s been left to die a slow, painful death, starving in the cell that is her home. Then a chance encounter saves her; a human searching for answers stumbles across her hidden prison. She doesn’t trust him, but she’s got nothing to lose and he’s got food! So she goes with the man on an adventure that takes her to an Alpha who could be all she never knew she needed. Now if only the Monster that resides inside her wouldn’t eat her newfound friends, this might not be too bad!

While Kaid and Delilah struggle to form a bond other than the obvious physical one, a vengeful, unseen threat from the past scurries into the periphery of their lives, threatening not only their new-found chance at happiness, but the lives of every member of their clan and the very land they call home. Will this threat be detected in time to save the lives of all Avaleigh’s Boys and everyone they hold dear?

This book is the third in a new series, Avaleigh’s Boys, about a group of shifters who make their home in the backwoods and bayous of South Louisiana. Their clan consists of a mix-matched group of five shifters who depend on one another and are loyal to no end. These are their stories.

Warning: Intended for mature audiences. These stories contain hot bear, dragon, wolf and lion shifters. They like to cuss, fight and love their women. This book contains explicit love scenes, lots of use of the “F” word (among others), and some abusive scenes both inferred and described that may be disturbing for some readers. If you are offended by these subjects, please do not buy this book.

OH My GERD!!!  I was so excited for Kaid to get LAID…I mean…find his mate!!  Dude has been hella grumpy lately over waiting for his Ever to show up.  Bam told him she was comin’ but the waiting was killing him!!

So we meet Delilah and we are instantly broken for her.  We know the horror she lived with being one of Lurin’s victims but hearing the extent and length of her capture……..so unbelievably sad.  She is so confused over these kind people. No one is kind for nothing.  Everyone wants something in return.  So to see these people offering care and protection made her edgy.  Then to see a DRAGON chasing a HUMAN set her off!!  She let everyone know right away she will not tolerate any abuse.

Kaid is struck stupid by his mate’s history but also by her strength.  He can’t believe it but especially how socially isolated she has been. The smallest things are all new to her.  The idea of sharing food to show acceptance in a family or making a sandwich to show someone you are care all things we take for granted but she feels are monumental.

Delilah fears her “monster”.  She is afraid of what she might do to her new family.  When Delilah senses danger she hides herself away from her family which kills Kaid.  When we understand the reason of her fea,r which is a true fear, I loved seeing Delilah embrace her monster and go after her clan/pack!!

Some of my favorite scenes are with Mav and Delilah. She is a riot and he really gets her mentality.  He understands her fears.  But Mav is hurting so bad.  I can’t wait for his book.  He needs to open his eyes and accept his Ever before she is so far gone by his betrayal.

Bam…seriously when does he get a book. My shifter man needs some love.  I THINK we have seen his mate based on his reaction at the bar buuuuut I still want his HEA!!!!

Sandra R Neeley is a 50-ish Mom, Nana, Wife and Author who masquerades by day as an Administrative Assistant and Manager. She is pretty much a home body who lives in the Southern United States with her husband, kids and a menagerie of animals. She has lived for most of her live with various and sundry characters running around in her head thankfully (and sometimes not so thankfully) distracting her from the standards of day to day life. They finally got so loud that with much encouragement from her husband and her mother, she decided to give them a voice.

Bane is solid, dependable, jaded, and painfully lonely. He is also a bear shifter, hot, sexy, dominant and panty-dropping gorgeous. He’s spent his entire life protecting his older brother from the cruelty of others, including their own parents. He’s never thought he was worthy of anything, much less a Mate. Then he sees her working in the only grocery in their small backwoods town, and he’s stunned. She calms him, gives him joy, makes him hope. His heart comes alive. But she’s young, and she’s quiet; he fears she’ll run from his obvious dominance. He decides to move slowly, earning her trust one day at a time. Then, just as he thinks things are falling into place, she crushes his soul, and disappears.

Janie has spent her entire life protecting herself and her mother from the terror that is her father. She’s always been made to believe that she was less than. She has accepted that her life will be spent alone, plain ole’ Janie, working her young life away in the local grocery. Then one day a beautiful, sexy, confident man comes into her store. She knows she’ll never be able to do more than admire him from a distance, until he smiles at her and makes her feel like the sun. But her father notices her interest in Bane, and demands that she cut him out of her life. He has other plans, and they don’t include a man in Janie’s life. He needs her submissive, and untouched.

Ricky is a small town hood and drug dealer. He’s surrounded himself with what he thinks is a powerful and imposing gang. But they made one mistake; the woman they agreed to take as settlement on a debt is Mate to a shifter. Never take a shifters Mate and expect to live! When Janie is traded to the drug dealer as payment for her father’s debt, it brings the wrath of an entire clan of shifters down upon the heads of Ricky and his gang. Will Bane be able to save his Janie? Will Janie be able to accept Bane’s true nature? Can they forgive each other and find the happiness that every shifter prays for?

AHHHHH OMG This book!!  SO if you read book 1 (if you didn’t then why haven’t you?) you aren’t shocked to know that Janie is Bane’s mate.  She is a bit younger than him and so he approaches her slowly to make sure she won’t bolt. He slowly starts to let his feelings be known for her and she’s over the moon.  How can this hottie like her? How can he even look her way when he has all the “grocery store groupies” dying for his attentions.

Janie has some super big secrets in the closet.  She and Bane have so much in common but because she is silent about her family life, he has no clue.  When Janie’s drunk, no good dad decides to put an end to Janie and her romance,  Janie is super upset but does what she can to keep her mom safe.  That wasn’t enough because her dad sells her off to the local drug lord.  What a great father!!

The couple must overcome A LOT to be together.  He must save her even though he has the shattered heart.  He can’t let his mate suffer even IF she rejected him.  They also must face the fact he is afraid of him and his family.  Shifters are scary if you don’t know what is happening!!  Needless to say, the pack family is there to help them figure everything out!!

I feel like we got an extra bonus story about Goldie and Sadie.  I was super excited to read the short chapter.

GAAAAAHHHHH Bam……when did he steal my heart?  No clue but I need for him to find love so badly.  He is such an amazing guy and then to find out about his ability……..the whole Daisy story and then YIKES what he tells Kaid….eeeepppppp.  I am so ready for book 3!!!!!!
