Forever is the last thing they expected…

Lawyer Nash Sutherland encounters a spirited young woman with an untrusting nature in a Texas roadside bar. She’s as sexy as she is surly, and their undeniable attraction leads them to one night of pleasure…and a fateful condom mishap. By morning, the striking beauty has disappeared, but he can’t get her out of his head. She’s everything he wasn’t looking for, but now must find.

After one night of passion, Bailey Hobbs finds herself in an unexpected predicament. And the cause of it happens to be the persistent man standing in her living room, proposing a solution: marriage. She may be pregnant with Nash’s child, but after her past with a cheating ex, she refuses to put her faith in another man. But try telling that to a guy who argues for a living.

The only thing bigger than his…Stetson…is his ego, and Bailey knows firsthand how hard it is to resist Nash when he wants something. But she’s determined to keep him at an emotionally safe distance…one he refuses to allow. Because if Nash can’t get her to risk her heart once more, it will cost them the one thing that matters most.

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

This book was everything you want in a book…alpha male, alpha male and alpha male….Snickers….do you get the kinda guy Nash is?  He is also sweet, caring, romantic and super loyal…..but he is also arrogant, cocky,  annnd a little….. scratch that…A LOT mistrustful…well ok he has his reasons for the mistrust of her.

Bailey has had the worst day of her life.  The day she should have been over joyed for turned out to be the worst day ever….annnd then she meets Mr. Nash.  WELLLLL, they have a night of amazing “talking” and then Bailey sneaks out.  I mean that is what you do after a one night stand right???

Fast forward 6 weeks later when Nash finds her and her many secrets…omg he nearly loses it.  However Nash can’t stop thinking about our girl and pushes….well actually bullies his way into her life and being her HUSBAND!!  LOL  Oh Nash!!!

The couple has a lot going on but both agree to commit 110%.  Well as in all romance novels, the conflicts start to arise.  Are they really meant to be together or were they brought together for the wrong reasons????

I loved Nash and his dominant persona.  Bailey, I GOT her but at times I got annoyed with her.  I mean stop pushing Nash away already……When she finally was all in, I was glad.  Then seeing the two fall apart was tough because they are both afraid of their feelings and are afraid of what the other is feeling to really communicate when they needed each other the most.

However, the bantering…loved it.  All of this authors books have great banter and they really make her stories because we all have THAT friend who says THOSE things!!

As the youngest of five girls, Alison Bliss has never turned down a challenge…or been called by the right name. Her writing career may have started out as a dare by one of her sisters, but Alison hasn’t put her pen down since.

She grew up on a small island off the Texas Gulf Coast, where most of her childhood vacations consisted of camping or hunting trips to the deer lease. Although she’ll always be a Texan at heart, Alison currently resides in the Midwest with her Iowa farm-boy husband and their two sons. With so much testosterone in her home, it’s no wonder she writes “girl books.”

She’s an animal lover, a closet video game enthusiast, and believes the best way to know if someone is your soul mate is by canoeing with them because if you both make it back alive, it’s obviously meant to be. Alison’s an avid romance reader who enjoys penning the type of books she loves to read most: fun, steamy love stories with heart, heat, laughter, and usually a cowboy or two. As she calls it, “Romance…with a sense of humor.”

Sheriff Zeke Monroe loves one woman…Honor McKinnon. He is willing to stake his entire future on protecting her…no matter what the cost.

Honor McKinnon knows she is broken. Her body and soul had been shattered by a violent attack years ago, and no one…not her sisters or anyone else in the tiny town of Paradise, especially the Sheriff…can change that. Rather than dealing with her wounds, she chooses to protect herself from any further damage, even if that means that she avoids the one chance at love. But Zeke is determined to break down Honor’s walls…and to find the persons responsible for hurting her and make them suffer.

He’s already killed for her once…and is willing to do it again if it means she’ll know safety and happiness.

What happens when Zeke refuses to allow Honor to ignore her past? Will Zeke’s love be passionate enough to break down her barriers? And can Zeke save Honor when her life is in danger once again?

Join Sarah O’Rourke in this epic culmination of the Men of the McKinnon Sisters stories…and find out how the Passion in Paradise series is always scorching hot! Standalone, romantica suspense.

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

*blow out a breath*  WOW  This book…..its not just a story…it’s an epic journey for our characters.  We all know what happened to Honor and we all can see how the sheriff feels for her but to finally see the story and see their journey…….Without a doubt this is my favorite book in the series.  Zeke and Honor battle against so many different issue to be together.  Honor has gone through kidnapping, rape, torture, attempted murder and even stalking. This would probably kill most people but with her sheriff by her side pushing her and not letting her succumb to the darkness that is after her.

Folks this is a LONG A$$ Book but none of it is fluff or filler.  It is total story but you gotta be ready and prepared for everything that they will face together.  I absolutely loved Zeke and loved how he was so confident for his love for Honor that he claimed her 6 years ago. She was in no frame of mind to deal with this unconditional love. Throughout the book we can see Honor realizing her feelings for Zeke and also being completely terrified by them.

Some of my favorite scenes are with Honor and her cray family.  They are so solid but don’t know how to help their baby sister thought her dark times.    Other favorites are hearing our innocent Honor talking openly with her therapist.  SO funny!!  But what I really loved was the 4^th of July chapter.  So much happens and so many realizations are made…my heart was thumping happily.

I am an epilogue whore so the epilogue made a tear come to my eye.  I love the set up for the next book and who will be falling into love.  This couple is going to be alot of fun to read about that is for sure…..

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!

Rush is the first standalone from a brand new series from CA. It’s raw, I am literally STRIPPED of emotion right now. It’s racy, Ashton is SO FREAKING HOT, I swear I’m on fire. And it’s REAL, the feels are real, the heartache is real, the swoon is real. Everything is perfect!

 CA Harms knows how to write alphas, delicious, dirty alphas that blow the mind while breaking through and burying themselves deep in the heart of a reader.. Ashton Montgomery is the best alpha CA has written, if he was a real person I’d be a pile of swoony, turned on goo, right now. He’s HOT. Utter sin, wrapped in a sublime package.

Our h is Kinsley, and my word did she break my heart but also make me smile so BIG. The fragile, wounded girl was actually a sexy, sassy female who turns out to be the PERFECT MATCH for Ash.

 Rush, is written superbly. From start to end all the words piece together beautifully. The story line flows easily through a very solid foundation. The angst ranges from light to heavy to “damn my breath has gone”. The twist and turns laid out are gut wrenching at times but packed with such emotion it’s hard to walk away. It’s obvious that CA has put a lot into this book, she’s made the characters loveable, with a connection so hot and deep it literally oozes from the pages. CA has packed this book with a fantastic secondary cast that complimented the story wonderfully. Ashton’s brothers are going to be AMAZING. For a long time now CA’s Key West men have been my favourites. But they are nothing compared to the Montgomery’s, after just one book they’re embedded. I can’t wait for the next two stories.

 Now I’m going to sit here and marvel in the glorious feeling us bookworms get when we read a great book!! Rush is indeed a Rush of epic proportions!

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

He refuses to fall in love.
He was born alone and he will die alone. Or, at least he thought so until now.
Vice-One is all he knows. His squad. His brothers. The men he spends every day protecting. He is empty and only one person can fill this void. This darkness.
Meanwhile, Genevieve Gold makes it clear he should stay away when she is everything he craves.

She is lost.
Her heart has been ripped out; stomped on…crushed into tiny pieces, leaving only a gaping hole behind.
King’s Harlots is all she has. Her club. Her sisters. Her life. But something is missing until he shows up.
Angel Rodriguez is everything she hates but everything she needs.

Putting differences aside, they will work together to bring down a malevolent force threatening to rip them apart…

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

This was unlike any other MC book I have read. You see this is about an all female club. They are tough and stand up for themselves they are a family that stands together.

Jay grew up in the MC life and is now the president of her own MC club. She does not have time for relationships with everything she is dealing with. Jay is dealing with her club along with outside forces trying to bring her down and dealing with her sister going missing several years ago and now more women coming up missing.

Angel is a SEAL and all alpha male. His number one priority is his team. He has a side construction business that lands him smack dab in front of Jay. WOW is the chemistry between these too off the charts.

I enjoyed jay and Angel but found myself intrigued by all the side characters and cannot wait to read more of them. This had a great pace and kept me turning the pages.  The steamy scenes were HOT and the twist this took was great. This was a wonderful MC meets military story both Jay and Angel were determined and strong willed when it came to what they believed in and wanted. Like I said I’m so excited to read about all these other characters.

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.

It’s time for more men and motorcycles in the latest from the New York Times bestselling author of Reaper’s Fall…

The club comes first.

I’ve lived by those words my whole life—assumed I’d die by them, too, and I never had a problem with that. My Reaper brothers took my back and I took theirs and it was enough. Then I met her. Tinker Garrett. She’s beautiful, she’s loyal, and she works so damned hard it scares me sometimes . . . She deserves a good man—one better than me. I can’t take her yet because the club still needs me. There’s another woman, another job, another fight just ahead.

Now she’ll learn I’ve been lying to her all along. None of it’s real. Not my name, not my job, not even the clothes I wear. She thinks I’m nice. She pretends we’re just friends, that I’ve still got a soul . . . Mine’s been dead for years. Now I’m on fire for this woman, and a man can only burn for so long before he destroys everything around him.

I’m coming for you, Tinker.

Soon.

Oh Holly Crap where to begin this story had it all. I was all over the place with my emotions with everything they were all dealing with from situations they were in to the natural disasters going on around them. Not only did I have emotions for Gage and Tinker but for the side characters too.  WOW did Joanna Wylde tell a great story and make me feel like I was smack dab in the middle of it all.

Gage was sent to find out what was going down with the Nighthawk Raiders MC and as part of his cover he had to make Talia, who was the MC’s President Sister, his girlfriend. WOW was this chic a piece of work no scratch that she was psycho seriously she needed serious meds! I felt bad that Gage had to be with the crazy one. Anyway he had to secure a job and a place to stay and was able to do this by becoming Tinkers handyman and living in her building. Man oh man were the sparks flying between these two but no way Gage could cross that line and blow his cover.

Tinker left her ex moved home to take care of her Dad after her mom died. I loved her determination and she was dedicated to her dad and her business. The way she stood up to her ex I was cheering her on at that point. Loved her BFF and the moments they had on the porch drinking wine ‘man watching’.

This was an amazing book so many twist and turns I had my heart in my throat so many times wondering what was going to happen was there going to be a town, who was going to make it through everything. Oh to see the Reapers were great and the hard time Pic gave Gage each time he talked to him was priceless. This book has something going from jump and will not let me go until the last word was read. I so love these men and Joanna does a great job drawing me into the story and not letting me go. I cannot wait for the next one.

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

AHHH DO I love these Reapers!!  Joanna has a way to make each guy so flawed and far from perfect yet so wonderful and delicious that we will forgive them of their flaws and imperfections.

Coop aka Gage is no different from the rest of the crew.  He is going undercover for his brother to investigate a side club.  They seem to forget and his clubs cut of their business.  SO Pic sends Gage in to infiltrate the group.  Now we see part of this story from Painters book but this is a way more in depth story line since its Tinker and Gage’s POV.  When Gage arrives he is stunned stupid at his beautiful, curvy, landlady.  Too bad he has to follow the the skank Talia around to get an invite to the club.  The club her tweeked brother Marsh runs.  The same club who is screwing over the Reapers.

Tinker, our heroine, has been through it.  Her ex hubby is such a DB.  She is over men and lies…then she meets Coop and the chemistry’s crazy.  Too bad he likes skanks and cray chicks like Talia.  Tinker is trying to stay away but the pull between the two is sooo heavy…even an idiot like Talia can see and feel it.

The story of Tinker’s ex hubby is good along with the club and Gage’s infiltration but the real story is the fire that is burning around the town.  The forest fires are a real threat to the town and to the couple.  As the action is drawing close so are the wild fires.

I loved the story and the epilogue was the icing on the cake because we can see out into the future.  We see Gage and Tinker plus what happens to them years later.

Joanna Wylde started her writing career in journalism, working in two daily newspapers as both a reporter and editor. Her career has included many different jobs, from managing a homeless shelter to running her own freelance writing business, where she took on projects ranging from fundraising to ghostwriting for academics. During 2012 she got her first Kindle reader as a gift and discovered the indie writing revolution taking place online. Not long afterward she started cutting back her client list to work on Reaper’s Property, her breakout book. It was published in January 2013, marking the beginning of a new career writing fiction.

Joanna lives in the mountains of northern Idaho with her family.

Not everything is black and white, cut and dry. I know this is wrong. I know this goes against everything I stand for. I took an oath, a vow of secrecy. But I crave a world I’ve only read about, dreamt about, and yearned for.
So when I’m given the opportunity to explore my darkest desires, I’m torn between a physical need and a professional oath. But once I have a taste of Cain Hamilton, all of my sound judgement is gone. The consequences didn’t matter. I just wanted him. All of him, nothing else mattered.

I received the book from the author for an honest opinion.

Sierra is a therapist who is intrigued with the BDSM club owned by Cain. She decided to go to the club and check it out. She meets Cain, who is not sure she is ready for the club. Cain is total Alpha male especially when it comes to Sierra. He is dealing with these new feelings he has for Sierra. Cain is hot and cold which confuses Sierra until there is another man interested in Sierra. Then all bets are off and Cain is taking what’s his.

This was a quick read and although I wished there were more it was good for a Novella. The insta-love was good and the sexy scenes were also good. Loved that sierra was strong and dominating when it came to her day life but was able to submit to the sexy alpha male, Cain. This kept my interest and had me turning pages from start to finish.
