J.M. Witt- Bound By Two

I’m a stay-at-home mom with four young children and one extremely supportive husband. We’ve been married for almost eleven years and reside in Metro Detroit, Michigan.

I’ve dreamed of writing romance novels since I was little. After having baby #4, who may or may not have been fathered by Christian Grey, I decided it was time to pursue my dreams.

When I’m not volunteering at the schools of my children, running to various appointments, enjoying time with my friends and my book club, dating my husband, or avoiding cleaning my house, I’m writing!

I love music and believe that books and music can’t exist without the other. My goal is for you to read more than a good book, but for you to have an experience!

Currently, she has self published two series, two full length novels, and two full length co authored books she’s written with her other half HQ Frost, as well as been involved with two anthology sets. Her love will always reside with the romance genre, but she does enjoy going off the grid every now and then with non-fiction.

From Southern Illinois, born and raised, she now resides with her husband, two small boys, and two very busy dogs.

Two motorcycle clubs, two different reasons for being, and one lifestyle find each other together.

– Devil’s Due MC –
Respect is earned, never freely given.
Our road is a path for justice. Nomads always on the open highway, we follow the trail, no matter where it leads, everyone be damned.

– Vipers Creed MC –
Respect is hard earned.
Live by the creed, die by the creed. If you aren’t with us, you’re against us. If you step into our world, your balls better be big and your cock even bigger.
Brothers, bikes, and bitches collide. Respect is everything.

When two clubs cross over into each other’s worlds, only madness, mayhem, vengeance, and heat can possibly ensue.

This is a cross over novella between two established MC series. This story takes place before the series begins so it is not necessary to read anything before this book. This work of fiction contains violence, language, and situations intended for mature audiences. This is not meant to be an exact depiction of life in a motorcycle club, but rather a work of fiction meant to entertain.

Amazon US

Goodreads

This is a deal two books in one. You can read this without reading either of the series. This gives you a little insight in to both MC’s and you get to meet each of the men in the series.

Devils Due is on a mission that takes them into Vipers Creed territory. Along the way each man has his own story to tell. Vipers Creed we see how Spook became president and how he is turning his club around making it what he wants. He stands his ground with the Devils Due when they come rolling in and the two clubs have to come to an agreement.

I enjoyed seeing these two clubs together. Mostly I enjoyed seeing all the men and hearing their stories. I have my eye on a few of them that stood out to me. Hope we see more of these two grossing over again. The authors did a great job telling their own story as well as intertwining the clubs.

Game Changer by Ryan Michele

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

Holy crap!!  That was a whole lotta naughty reading!!  Ryan you certainly know how to put A LOT into a short novella.

Essentially this story is about Jess and Sanders.  Sanders is Jess’s brothers best friend.  She has loved him for affair her entire life.  One night she gets the courage to approach him to see if he SEES her as Jess and not the little sister.

Sanders is shocked when Jess comes on this him at the bar.  This is his dream come true!!  He has loved her for a while now and even her brother knew.  What happens in the novel is a lot of naughty, sexy times so don’t say you weren’t warned!!

I’m a mom and a wife who works full time. I have a huge obsession with collecting paperbacks and reading. Becoming an author, wasn’t exactly what I set out to do, it just happened. I needed something to help me get rid of the feeling of being ‘just a mom’ or ‘just a wife’ that was consuming me and writing became that outlet. My book(s) cover some tough issues which are hard for some readers to digest. I am grateful for every single one of you who read my books.

 

When life gets too rough, breathe with me…

Tono Nosaka, the Kinbaku rope master, has known heartache and loss—never defeat. He is determined to claim his soulmate.
Miss Autumn is courageous and talented, but she hides a personal secret that binds her heart. Just when the walls start to come down, Tono has a dream about Brie so shocking he would make any sacrifice to ensure it never comes true.

Love that strong has extraordinary power.

Goodreads

Amazon

I am so enjoying reading the POV of all the men in Brie’s life. They all love her, want the best for her and will protect her with everything they have.

At the end of A Cowboy’s Heart Master Anderson calls Tono to come to take care of and protect Brie. The only thing is Tono was making progress with Autumn now he must leave and hope that Autumn can trust him. Tono goes to Brie to help her through this time in her life. Will he be able to balance this and continue to proceed to break down Autumn’s walls even from a distance?

This was packed with all kind of goodness and suspense too. I so enjoyed the outing Tono took Brie on seeing the Dom’s perform was amazing. the flash backs getting to know Tono better was great. My favorite was when Tono and Autumn had their time together and reading the letter he wrote to her.

Tono was wonderful his calmness to pull Brie up and get her in to a routine to occupy her mind from her current situation is something that Sir would greatly appreciate. His ability to get Autumn to open up to him, trust him and let him break down her walls was heartwarming.

We also get to see a little of Rytsar and he is not happy when we get to see him. I have to say I’m so excited to learn Rytsar is next. He is my favorite and I cannot wait to learn more about him.

My favorite quote was between Brie and Tono:

“But I broke that beautiful heart…”

“You bruised it, you did not break it. How can I fault you for following your destiny? It allowed me to follow mine”

When Luke swipes right on her Shifter profile, Jasmine is shocked. Could this be the start of something more?

But Power Shift is out for blood. They hate any interspecies dating, and will stop at nothing to keep the shifter lines pure. When they attack, can Jasmine and Luke protect each other? Can their newfound love survive?

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

I am loving this new to me author and her fun series.  Since I am a HUGE Shifter fan and I jumped at the chance to read her books.

This book is about Theo’s sister, Jazmine, who is in total and complete love with his best friend Luke.  Luke is wolf in a different pack.  The two men have no issues on inter species mingling but Power Shift certainly does!!

One night Luke gives the Shifter Dating app a try for his buddy Max.  He isn’t really looking for a hook up because the woman who owes his heart is on the “off limits” list.  When Jas shows up at the bar and flirts with him, his wolf goes crazy!!  When the shifter app matches them, they both go in to freak out mode.  Can they BE true mates for each other annnnd will Theo allow it?

So while the two are dealing with possibly being together they are attacked by that group of shifters who are not fans of intermingling.  Luke and Jas are then forced to defend their relationship against the shifters and Theo!!

I liked the book and can’t wait for more in the series!

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

SO I took this book totally thinking it was a historical romance but much to my shock it’s not..LOL.  But that is totally ok because I loved the sci-fi edge of the novel when I realized it was contemporary.

The story begins with Regina ending her mistake of a marriage to Trenton.  She knew they shouldn’t have ever gotten married and her heart with his brother BUT she didn’t thin Bradford was the settle down kind of guy.

The “rake” in the title is Bradford who has a thing for his sassy and feisty sister-in-law Regina…yes folks his sister-in-law.  He is none too thrilled when she pops into his life but is keeping secrets.

Regina and Bradford have great banter and they are both dancing around the emotions they have for the other.  They both want the other but as scared to admit it out loud for fear of being rejected.

The sci-fi of the story is a woman who needs Regina to help her get a message across to someone.  That all plays into the story of Trenton and his journey, Regina and Bradford’s explosive relationship and the plot twist of the story.

The story is a quick read for someone looking for a different read for a rainy day like I am having today……ENJOY

Dawn Brower works as a substitute teacher and enjoys the flexibility it gives her to concentrate on her other endeavors.

Growing up she was the only girl out of six children. She is a single mother of two teenage boys; there is never a dull moment in her life. Reading books is her favorite hobby. While she loves all genres she focuses most of her writing on historical and contemporary romance.

There are always stories inside her head; she just never thought she could make them come to life. That creativity has finally found an outlet.

What happens when two determined personalities clash and the change is more than either one of them bargained for?
Legendary FBI profiler Matteo Cassano gives the orders. He is not accustomed at all to following them. The control-freak legend of the FBI could have any woman he wants, and often had in the past. But when he meets the amazing, younger Brenna Langley, he might have finally found the woman that could change his entire life.
Brenna Lagley is professional, focused, and determined to move ahead in her career with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Having tried a few failed relationships, she had decided that romance would not be in the cards for her. That was, until Matt Cassano enters her orbit and she finds herself on a secret, covert mission to save the great man from himself. When Matt’s health becomes an issue, can the fledgling relationship survive?
He’ll fight her every step of the way. She’s fighting because there is no other way to keep him alive.

Heartbeats by Sarah O’Rourke

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

AHHHH  This book!!!  I Loved Loved Loved it.  Matt was so alpha but knew when he and to tuck that guy away before his mom or love would kick his butt!!  Bren was riot to read about.  Her undercover work was great and showed her true nature to care for someone and want the best for them even if they had no clue what was going on.

So Matt and Bren has some chemistry but Matt kept hiding because of the news his doctor gave him.  Instead of going after what he wants, he hides.  When a brief and chance encounter with Bren at the family’s favorite restaurant forces Matt, Bren and Momma to have lunch together…well match maker momma makes sure that the two see what they could have.

I enjoyed the stubborn of both characters but how when they loved, how they loved passionately.  I abso love the way these authors make family a big very important theme in their novels.  The family members may be side characters but they are definitely there for a reason.

I could so read another book for Matt and Bren because the news that was delivered at the end of the book would be some fun reading!!!

Sarah O’Rourke is the alter ego of two best friends who have taken their passion for romantic fiction and erotica to the publishing world. Born and raised in the southern United States, one lives near Louisville, KY, while the other resides in Atlanta, Georgia. Neither is ever very far from a tall glass of sweet iced tea, their dog-eared copies of Gone With the Wind, or their Steel Magnolias DVDs!

Formerly an accountant and a chemist, they are now overworked, stay-at-home moms who adore their children, their husbands…and writing about love in every way possible!

 

Have you ever dreamed of a Christmas wedding?

Grayson Abbot, the Duke of Kissinger, does not want to marry Lady Juliette. He doesn’t want to marry anyone. But he did make her a promise, and he doesn’t go back on his word… So he reluctantly agrees to run away with her.

They set off on an adventure during the Christmastide season. As they race to Scotland they experience delays, cold weather, and a friendship they’d almost forgotten about. Will Juliette finally find out what it’s like to be kissed, and in return, win the duke’s heart?

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

EEP Duke Kissinger gets hit butt kicked by love!!  We met him in the last book by Amanda Mariel.  He was a total rake and quite happy with his ways……silly silly man!!  In this book, we see a 12 year old boy and a 9 year old girl falling into young puppy like love but due to family and situations are pulled apart.

Lady Juliette has not had a great life since her best friend left her for school.  The loss of her mother and new step-mother have made life unhappy.  When her scheming step-mother gets her father to agree to marry the awful Lord Payne, she runs to the only person she can trust.

The banter between the two was hilarious…I loved reading about Juliette’s desires to see the sexy Gladiators in Rome.  Gray was not ok with that at all!!  LOL  As hard as Gray tried to push away and not acknowledge his love and desire for Juliette the harder she pushed him.  When the couple sneak away they get to catch up on their lives and grow even more in love with each other.

Gray will do anything to protect his friend and love.  The last 2 chapters were intense….lots of “will they be found” and “oh snap this is not good”.  I gotta say I loved the series and reading the final epilogue made my heart super happy.

Oh Tono!!  *Sigh* I always wanted to know how the calm Dom was and now we got to get into his head.  I think I grew even more in love with him after this book. Don’t get me wrong, I love Sir and am so happy for Brie’s choice but Tono…..sigh…..yeah Tono.

I was so excited to see Tono taking care of young Brie during her tough time.  He is the quiet strength she can rely on when Sir is not there to be her rock.  He does an amazing job re-correcting her course and giving her the positive spin on the situation to help her though everything.  I love Master Anderson’s care but Tono’s quiet soul was the balm she was needing especially after what Lilly tried to do…That woman is in BIG trouble now that Rytsar is in town but that is another part of the review!

Tono and Autumn!  Come on who didn’t see that or want that to happen to those two amazing souls???  I loved seeing him put himself out there and for her to break down those walls she has built.  When she finally spills the beans about why she is so closed off…sigh…yeah he made me melt.  I totally understood the strain they both had but was glad to see everything worked out for them in the end.  They are two people who are the perfect complement to the other much like Thane and Brie.

OK BOY!!  Rytsar is in town and he is not happy he wasn’t there to help Brie from the beginning.  The Russian is gruff but when Brie bats her eyes he melts in to a pile of gooey goodness!!  Lea…..oh our girl is so broken hearted.  I feel for her and hope we get a resolution to her heart ache soon.  The Wolf…again my heart….I want so much for him and Mary……I cant wait for the next book.   There are so many things that need to happen with so many people that it makes me sit on the edge of my hair waiting for more.
