Blurb: 

Evelyn

Being the sister to the president of the Lotus MC has never been a problem. That is until the club’s issues start to bleed into my work as a doctor at the local hospital. 

The last thing I need is to be shadowed by one of the MC brothers. Especially not him.

Hades.

I hate him or what I thought I knew about him.  As danger lurks around every corner, I find myself being drawn to the man who is hiding who he truly is.

When everything hits the fan, my life spirals making me wonder if my future is burning in front of my face.

Hades

I always lived by one rule. Never settle into one place for too long. 

Then I stopped in Vegas for a tattoo and ended up being patched in as a brother to the local MC. 

I shouldn’t have wanted to stay, but then I met her.

Evelyn.

She’s trouble. I need to keep an eye on her to protect the club I have vowed my allegiance to.

Only the girl I thought was a nuisance has quickly become my sole reason for being. When the past comes to visit, I’m confronted with everything I have been avoiding. Will I be able to navigate my past and keep the girl who I want to be my future?

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

They couldn’t stand to be around each other. She’s his president’s sister and he’s had to watch over her several times, but they’re oil and water together, or are they?

When Evelyn gets pulled into the trouble the club is dealing with, and needs a bodyguard, Hades pulls the short straw. However, once he gets to really know Evelyn, he knows that the short straw was the best thing to happen to him. Now he won’t let anyone else protect her or watch over her.

I loved this story and I love the characters of the Lotus MC series and chapters. Hades and Evelyn are actually perfect for each other and Evelyn’s strength matches Hades perfectly. I love how Hades really learned her and who she was inside even though he had his mind made up of who she was. I look forward to more books with the Lotus MC guys and their women.

Debt Reckoning: Teetering on the Brink

What if the greatest threat to America wasn’t war, terrorism, or China…but the trillions of dollars of debt we’ve pretended doesn’t exist?

U.S. Senator Rick Taylor has been warning anyone who’ll listen: the national debt is no longer a spreadsheet problem-it’s a ticking bomb. But in Washington, truth is toxic. Colleagues dismiss him, constituents scream about “cuts to my benefits,” and the media paints him as the villain who wants to gut Social Security.

Then the blackmail begins.

A shadowy network led by a ruthless operator making huge profits from unchecked government spending will stop at nothing to silence anyone who threatens the status quo. After Taylor’s wife is targeted in a terrifying swatting attack and a sniper’s bullet nearly ends Taylor’s life, the message is clear. Shut up… or die.

Author Bio: 

Jack was introduced to thrillers when Tom Clancy’s The Hunt for Red October was published.  However, for most of his life, he was a reader rather than an author. During the 2000 Presidential election as he watched TV coverage of the Florida recount with ‘dimpled chads’ and ‘hanging chads,’ he thought an election conspiracy would be a great basis for a thriller. It wasn’t until 2020 when he retired from his career, which included management positions in corporate America and small business ownership as well as a brief stint in ministry, that he sat down to write Wayward Patriot: Preserving the Vote.

His unique approach to political thrillers rips headlines from the news and weaves them through a thrilling tale of patriotism, political corruption and crisis. He says, “when I see some major new issue or technology in the news I want to learn more about it. I enjoy sharing what I learn with others by wrapping a story around it that will engage and entertain readers.”

He and his wife, Barbara, have three grown children and seven grandchildren and divide their time between Colorado Springs and Tucson.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5

This was an intriguing, suspenseful, political thriller that I enjoyed listening to. While I know it’s fiction, it hits pretty close to truth with spending, costs, and the rise of living expenses and the stalemate of income rise.

Jack Meyer has written a story that has brought up a lot of questions on how this could happen now with so much history behind us and the sad fact that history has not taught us that we need to be a unified nation. I enjoy thrillers of all types and Debt Reckoning was a very good story to listen to.

It has all of the political corruption that you would expect in a political thriller and the intrigue, suspense and danger that goes along with most thriller and Jack Meyer knows how to keep that suspense going through the whole story and keep the reader interested in knowing who those are that are pulling the strings and keeping things going that make the story intriguing and so close to the news reports happening now.

I love a great thriller and mystery and this story had all of the suspense that I enjoy in a story that keeps my interest and keeps my mind working to figure out who the bad guy(s) are. This one was not an easy guess and it surprised me when I learned who it was that was causing all of the trouble.

This was my first story by Jack Meyer, but it won’t be my last. I will be looking for more of his stories to read or listen to in the future.

EXCERPT

Paul

I was in a battle zone. In the split second of the blast, I’d thrown my body over Olivia’s. The explosion hit us like a wall of fire. It was blistering and deafening all at once. The heat had been instant, unforgiving, and merciless. It crawled over us like a living thing.

I tried to keep my weight off Liv as I rolled us onto our sides. We both gasped for air that wasn’t there. The oxygen had been sucked away, along with any sound. The ringing in my ears was intense, and I fought to block it out. It wasn’t the first time I’d been through a blast like that, and I knew my ears would bother me for a while. My vision was spotty, but I blinked to see Olivia and quickly patted her down to make sure she was okay. My eyes kept going to the vehicles, but I had to check her out first.

She was like a zombie, and I knew she was in shock. I pressed a hand to her shoulder and made the motion to stay down. I had to assess the situation. Distant screams from all around us made me realize this was so much worse than I could have ever imagined. I spotted the tracker Liv had handed me where it lay on the ground. I rammed my fist into the face of the lion then stood and used my heel to crush it. Staying low, I moved quickly in the direction of the SUVs.

Holy shit. It might be a war zone, but this one included everyone I loved.

Chase! Nicole! Their faces pushed through my mind as I began to run. I looked for the guys and saw, like me, they’d transformed from husbands and fathers to combat soldiers. They moved swiftly about in the chaos. As I got close, I saw their faces were white with pain and shock as they tried to get everyone away from the still-burning vehicle. We all knew more could be coming.

What the hell had happened? How could this happen here?

Cries and shouts from our loved ones intermingled with the sounds of people as they arrived on the scene to help.

There was so much distraction, I couldn’t even fathom that Nicole and Chase’s SUV was the one that had been blown up.

John and Travis were quickly herding the wives and children to Zack’s entrance. Sloane raced past me, headed for Olivia. “I’ve got her.” Her voice sounded strangled and her face was pale.

Then I saw Savannah. Cat was at her side pulling her arm desperately to try to get her to move with the others toward the safety of Zack’s restaurant.

“Savi!” Zack appeared out of nowhere, and he sounded a mile away. He shook her shoulders, and she blinked out of the trance she was in. “Olivia! Easton!” she screamed.

“Olivia is over there. She’s okay.” He pointed to the stairs where Sloane half-carried Olivia up the restaurant steps. Savannah sobbed and ran for her daughter.

“Zack!” I yelled, making him look at me. “Check everyone for trackers!” He gave me a thumbs up, and I quickly veered around to head toward the inferno. I needed to see. I had to know. “No!” Mike’s voice boomed, and I whirled to see him intercept Cole as he hurled himself at the burning vehicle. “You don’t want to see that! Cole, stop!”

My 5 ⭐ Review:

The end of the Stonewall Series books was a devastating, enlightening, edge of your seat read. I’ve loved these characters since the start of the series, and some even before the Stonewall Series.

Paul and Nicole are both hurting, but they are made for each other. They just need to get through the secrets, betrayal, danger and the war before they can work things out and find their HEA. Nicole is just as independent, strong and loyal as the other women in the Blackstone family. These characters are strong, loyal, protective, and a very large family that will only get stronger with the bond they have when fighting the cartel that wants to destroy them.

I suggest that you have a strong drink, plenty of time, and a box of tissues next to you when you read this book. I stayed up past my bedtime because I hated to put it down once I started it. If I could give it more stars I would. This was such a great book. I love J. L. Drake’s books and can’t wait to read more of her stories.

MY REVIEW: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 OUT OF 5

This was a great story with great characters.

Curiosity spurs her to want more information on the man that she can’t seem to stop obsessing over. When Capri plans to meet a friend at the bar Hades owns she meets the man after a dangerous situation occurs and he steps in.

Hades is a man that lost everything once and had to start over in a different place. He’s now settled and has a good life, but when Capri shows up in his life all bets are off. Now she’s in his sights and when he learns who she is, he begins to plot and plan.

I really enjoyed this story and the characters were great! This book had danger, deceit, secrets, and the need for vengeance. It was well written and left me wanting more.
