Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n review by Twinsie Melinda<\/p>\n Avery has never had a real home. After bouncing around in the system her entire life, she inherits a small house tucked away on a mountain and sees it as her chance to finally build something that\u2019s hers. What she doesn\u2019t expect is just how much work the rundown house needs or the reclusive biker living next door.<\/p>\n When a storm rolls in and Avery finds herself struggling at fixing up the house, Gunner reluctantly steps in to help out. From that moment on, he claims her in his own quiet but possessive way, nicknaming her Little Bird. However, Avery is anything but a fragile bird. She\u2019s determined to fix up her house, prove she can survive on her own, and finally put down roots. Gunner might see someone to protect, but Avery refuses to be handled.<\/p>\n What I liked about this story is that while it has that classic protective, alpha biker vibe, it also shows Avery\u2019s strength and determination. Gunner may be determined to keep her, but she chooses him just as fiercely.<\/p>\n Although we don\u2019t see the rest of the club members, we get a feel for them when Gunner has conversations with them.\u00a0 The banter adds to the story and I have to say I am intrigued to know more about them.<\/p>\n A few of my favorite lines:<\/p>\n She\u2019s mine. \u201cShe\u2019s not vulnerable. She\u2019s mine.\u201d I want you safe. I want you here. I want you to never look at another man the way you look at me.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m a savage who lives in the trees and sharpens knives to keep the ghosts away. But I\u2019ll be your fortress. I\u2019ll be the ground under your feet. Stay. Marry me.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI pent twenty-three years waiting for someone to fine me,\u201d I whisper. \u201cI thought I was disposable. A guest in everyone else\u2019s life. But you gave me a key. You gave me a name. I\u2019m not just a bird in a cage, Oliver. I\u2019m the queen of your mountain. I\u2019m yours. Solid.\u201d Hi, I’m Rica!<\/p>\n I write for readers who crave short, steamy romances with undeniable chemistry. I believe in love at first sight, swoon-worthy moments, and irresistible alpha heroes who fall hard and fast.<\/p>\n My goal is to give you that exhilarating “butterfly” feeling and an electric escape from the real world, even if just for an hour. When I’m not weaving tales of fiery connections, I’m usually dreaming up my next possessive hero or indulging in my favorite romantic movies and sweet treats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" He\u2019s a scarred ex-soldier.

\nThe thought doesn\u2019t ask for permission. It just arrives, settling into the bedrock of my mind like it\u2019s always been there. I found her. I saved her. I brought her into my perimeter.
\nNow I just have to figure out how to keep her safe from the one thing on this mountain that wants to devour her most.
\nMe.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cCopy that,\u201d Logan replies, a hint of amusement entering his voice. \u201cDoes she know that?\u201d
