Review of Priest: The Vikings MC: Tucson Chapter, Book 2 by Cathleen Cole and Frank Jensen
π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯ 5 out of 5
Wow! This book was steamy, angsty, has sexy bikers and a strong, independent, sassy heroine. I loved the characters and the story.
Priest has a secret that heβs been keeping because he made a promise. The problem is that the secret heβs been keeping was so much more. He made a promise and in doing so he lost his chance with a woman that makes him happy and whole. When he breaks things off with Jenny after returning to Tucson he wants to go back and change his mind. However, his brothers have other ideas and put him on the spot. Then another brother speaks too soon and now Priest may have really lost his chance.
Jenny isnβt a petite woman, she has curves, and sass. When she meets the biker from Tucson, she believes that sheβs met the man that can make her happy and sees her for the woman she is, but when he sends a text after returning to Tucson a few weeks later breaking it off with Jenny, he breaks her heart. When she returns to Tucson for her job and back to her life, sheβs summoned to the Vikings MC compound because the brothers need her help. When she gets there, sheβs hoping to avoid Priest, but that doesnβt happen.
I loved this second chance story of a sexy biker that is loyal, strong, Alpha, and sexy and the sassy woman that stole his heart. He may have to beg her forgiveness, but if they can open their minds and their hearts, they may have a chance. Jenny is a strong woman and needs a strong man to stand by her side. Priest is that man, but he will have to make amends first. I love the characters in this book, and I look forward to more of The Vikings MC in the future. I give this book 5-flames.
π₯ π‘ππͺ π₯πππππ¦π β Hatchet: A Dark MC Romance (Death Hounds MC) by H.J. Marshall is πππ©π β βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ Review Included Below!
I never expected the stranger staring down the barrel of my gun would be the one to save me. He saw through the armor I had encased myself in and silently vowed to set me free. He showed me that I was worthy of love and gave me everything I ever wanted but didnβt think I deserved.
When one of those monsters from my past comes calling, threatening to drag me back into the darkness, secrets are exposed and my world is ripped apart. Will he stand by my side as I embrace my nightmares, or will I be forced to walk away from the only person whoβs ever shown me love?
The Death Hounds say when youβre family, youβre family for life, but what happens when family ties threaten to strangle us all?
β β β β β Words Turn Me On – βWow. What a book. It had some twist and turns. And some shocking revelations. I couldn’t put book down once started.ββ β β β β Goodreads Review – βHatchet is an emotional roller coaster with so many twists and turns you donβt see them coming. I loved every second of it.β
MY REVIEW: βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ 5 out of 5
Intense, twisted, suspenseful, and heart-breaking. Loved it!
First, I have to say that I loved Foreword in this book with Devlin talking about how intertwined live can be. While it set up the story, it didnβt give anything away, but helped the suspense of the story for me, wondering how this was pertinent to the story.
Hatchet and Hailey have had some twisted and terrible times in their lives, and it seems as though itβs not getting any better, but a chance meeting and both have a future to look forward to and fight for. Hatchet is now a member of the Death Hounds MC, not just the little brother of the Presidentβs wife, or Skid, he has his patch, but he still questions if he earned it or if he has it because of who he is and what he endured. Devlin Callahan is a man that Hatchet has looked up for years and when he visits Hatchet and tells him that he did earn the patch he tries to believe him. However, itβs hard because he still regrets what happened when he and Rose were taken.
Hailey is on her own, but sheβs found someone who cares about her and what sheβs doing as well as where she is. Itβs taken Hailey years to feel as though sheβs worth the love and care she receives from Granny. Her childhood was a nightmare and now that sheβs an adult, that self-preservation has not left her, but keeps her aware of her surroundings. When her gut tells her that she needs to be careful and protect herself, she listens. When three men show up on her doorstep in a remote location, sheβs wary of who they are and what they want with her. When sheβs finally convinced to go with them and that she is safe her life will change drastically.
I love the characters of the Death Hounds MC books, and this book was no different. I loved the story and the characters just as much. Haileyβs life will change so much when she accepts the strangersβ help that showed up on her doorstep. Sheβll no longer be alone, and she will find someone that can help her heal from her childhood. I give this book a 5-star review and look forward to more from H. J. Marshall.

Synopsis
A SILENT ASSASSIN.
A WIDE-EYED CAFE OWNER.
CAN THEIR PASSION MASK THE BITTER TASTE OF DEATH?
They called him Phantom. Because he was exactly that. Not a man, a ghost of the darkness. Unable to speak. Trained to kill. Conditioned not to feel. To laugh. To love. People screamed his name in fear.
Until a local business owner awakens something human within him.
New to town, Sophie has set up an ice cream parlor, and is struggling under the weight of trying to think with a commercial head on her shoulders. Sheβs used to seeing the best in the world around her, but her sunny attitude isnβt enough for running a successful business, she needs to be more cut-throat. She sees him watching her from across the street as she serves up huge scoops of silky, vegan ice cream, his eyes hungry. Why wonβt he come over and have a taste?
He knows he can never have her, he doesnβt trust himself. He could never hold her, feel her fragile pulse fluttering against his violent hands. Yet it doesnβt stop him from wanting her, wanting to hear her scream his name, not in pain, not in fear, not because death was coming. But in pleasure. Wanting to hear her whispering his name as he fulfills her fantasies.
She has never been able to resist temptation. Because truthfully, even though she finds out he is a member of the notorious Black Coyotes Motorcycle Club, and does not speak, she still wants a taste of him too.
But his past is a graveyard of poisonous secrets. Before he was rescued by the MC, he was a slave in a nefarious Mexican drug cartel. And when one of those secrets from that dark past is reincarnated, will Sophie run back to the land of the living? Can she find the sunshine and sweetness within herself to forgive? Can she move forward without bitterness or has she spent too long with a ghost and become dead inside too?

Excerpt
The darkness had eyes.
Sophie stepped into her bedroom with trepidation, tiptoeing forward, peering in. She was naked, she’d dried herself off after the shower, quickly towel dried her hair so it wasnβt a sopping mess, and tucked the towel around her. Then immediately ripped it off again. There was no need for modesty. And now, standing in the doorway to her bedroom, knowing he was in there, and that he was looking back at her… it sent a thrill through her. She immediately broke out in goosebumps from the thought of it, her heart thrumming with anticipation. She couldn’t see him though. She couldnβt see his eyes but she knew what they would look like. That hungry look again. He was so calm, so still, he barely moved, didnβt speak, but she knew what he was thinking. She knew what he wanted.
The darkness breathed.
She felt his hot breath next to her ear. It danced over her cheek. He stood beside her, she’d snuck into the room almost hesitantly, looking for him, seeing only darkness. He had turned the lights off and pulled the curtains closed.
And he’d waited for her. She felt his breath again. He must be standing mere inches from her. She could feel his presence now. The warmth, the magnetic pull of him called to her. And where he beckoned, she followed. It was like a compulsion, every fiber of her being hummed to his tune. Sophie breathed.
The Darkness decided it was time.
A hand snatched her throat, pivoted her and she felt her back bump into the wall behind her. It felt cool against her bare, warm skin.
The hand around her throat was warm. The air left her lungs with a whoosh and when she tried to take another, he was right there. In front of her face, she felt his exhale play across her cheeks again, her lips. His scent filled her lungs. She braced herself. Would he slip inside her again standing up? Would they make it to the bed?
But no, The Darkness liked to play with its food.

MY REVIEW: βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ 4 out of 5
Tracker is a tattoo artist and member of a 1% MC. He agrees to set up the rookie cop to see if he can get some inside intel on his club. Itβs not a problem sweet talking the beauty into his bed, but he isnβt prepared for fall out that is to come.
Jolene has always wanted to follow in her four older brothersβ footsteps, her fatherβs too, but being the only girl in a southern family would hold her back. Her mama wanted a beauty queen, soft, kind, soft spoken and tiara owning beauty that she could brag about. It seems all the men in her life felt the same way. When she finally broke away from that and stood on her own, she had second thoughts about her decision. Perhaps itβs the guy that seduced her in the bar, or maybe the force she is a part of, but something isnβt sitting right with Joleen.
I loved this story. Tracker is a man that will do anything to protect his family by choice. His life hasnβt always been good, but it is now, and he is in a good spot in his life. The beautiful rookie cop is going to turn his world upside down and he has no way of stopping her. Jolene knows that Tracker is not going to be the choice her family wants for her, but her life is her own and sheβs a grown woman capable of making her own decisions. When she runs into roadblock after roadblock with her co-workers regarding the drugs and overdoses in their small Florida town, she fights like crazy to keep her morals and justice as they should be, but is it a losing battle? Jolene is a sweet, strong, sassy, sexy woman that can put a man in his place with no problem, after all she grew up with four older brothers. This story is tragic, sexy, steamy, suspenseful, and full of heart. I give it a 4-star review.
π₯ Review of β Tink (Devilβs Handmaidens MC #1) by D.M. Earl – releasing 11.3 @dmearl @EJBookPromos
βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ 4 out of 5
Tink/Maggie/Goldilocks, President of the Devilβs Handmaidens MC, Timber-Ghost, Montana Chapter. MC Princess, young woman whose world was turned upside down at the age of twelve, and then again at the age of eighteen. Now sheβs determined to break up every trafficking ring she hears about and save those that were taken and forced into a life they never wanted. She has loving parents and sisters that will do anything for her, no questions asked. Even help her without her knowing it.
I really liked this book, and the characters. The story was tragic but with a happy ending. The characters are a little broken but have huge hearts and are bad asseβs in their own rights. With the large space in Montana and the ranches there is a lot of space to have animals, out buildings, protected space, and if needed space to house those that need saving or space to heal. Tink and her MC have the space to bring those they save and help them heal and move on if wanted. Tink needs to find Hannah so that her world can right itself. After so many years, sheβs afraid of what sheβll find though. I enjoyed the story, and the introduction of new MCβs to read and get to know. This was my first read of a D. M. Earl book, but I liked her style and character development. I am anxious to read Shadowβs book as she is such a great character with so many sides. I give this book a 4-star review and look forward to reading more of D. M. Earlβs books.
