His first night as a prospect could have gotten him killed and didn’t’ set a great example of the man he is. He was drawn to the unforbidden and neither one of them realized the consequences of their actions. Nico “Chains” Trinidad served his country and returned to the RBMC to prospect. His first night back he almost ruined his future, but in his defense, he had no idea who the beauty was that he took to his room. 

She should not have been at the party, and if her brother saw her he would make sure she stayed away from his brothers. Jasmine was off limits to the RBMC brothers since she was the little sister of a patched member, Angel. Their childhood was murky at best, but when her life was in danger, Angel and the RBMC took her in and made sure that she would be safe. Until danger hit the compound and that protection was no longer possible. 

I loved this story of the forbidden fruit that is Chains and Jasmine’s story. The secrets, tragic events and loyalty in this book kept the pages turning and my interest focused until the very end. Chains and Jasmine had to fight for their love and prove that Chains was the right man for Jasmine. The Ankeny, IA chapter is one of my favorites due to the special abilities that the characters possess. Chains’ specialty must have been torturous growing up and even as an adult. Touch is one of the senses that most of us can’t go without and his life had to have been tortured by not being able to touch people without covering his hands. I have loved Chains throughout this series and was so happy to have his and Jasmine’s story. I give this book a 5-star review.

Brax has been a nomad for years, on his own for years, but now he has more than one reason to stay in one place. His prez has a job for him, but he’s not giving him a lot of information on it. He has too many questions but won’t get any other answers. He’s a loner, he has no desire to spend all of his time with some woman he doesn’t even know or know anything about. Brax has demons and vengeance in his soul. This assignment could be the deciding factor of whether he stays or hits the road. 

She’s from a completely different life than Brax. Grace has lost most of her family and is wondering how she’s going to move on. When she finds a strange man in her house, her day gets worse than it already was. She has a job, a house, and a fiance, but her parents are gone and the secrets that will come out now could destroy her more than losing her parents. 

I love The Dirty Souls books. The men are Alphas but they are also vulnerable when it comes to the women that bring them to their knees. The way these guys meet the women they fall in love with is not a normal meeting scenario. The characters are so well created and rounded and the story lines are full of action, suspense, secrets, and some very sexy times. Grace and Brax have a lot to overcome as well as secrets that will be revealed that put them both in danger. Can Brax fight his demon and the need for vengeance to have the life he never thought was possible? There are a lot of secrets revealed in this book. The Dirty Souls will once again stand behind their brothers and protect all that they hold close to them. I enjoyed Grace and Brax’s story and look forward to more of The Dirty Souls MC series. I give this book a 5-star review.

Hart has a new assignment, but he has no idea what awaits him in the alley that he is told to go to. His partner set up the meeting for him and didn’t give much information. When he sees the figure at the end of the alley, he believes that they are going to run. He is not prepared for this case at all. 

She needs protection from her ex until the trial, but she is afraid that the help she’s going to receive will take her away and she’ll lose even more. She’s not looking for anything other than protection, but the man that will be protecting her is too sexy for his own good. 

Hart is not a man looking for a relationship, nor is he a man that sleeps with his clients, but this case seems to throw him for a loop. Add in the cute little toddler that takes a liking to him and his heart is at their mercy. I loved Hart’s story. Although, I do think he needed to get his butt kicked for walking away at first. The Savage Hell MC characters are always great to read, most of them are not ready for relationships, but when that woman walks into their lives that turns their world upside down, hold on for the ride because it’s going to be wild. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to more in the Savage Hell MC series.

Antonio just wants to be left alone to live his life and stay off the grid of anyone from his past life, but when a car goes over the edge of the cliff during a snowstorm, Antonio can’t walk away and leave the woman inside to her fate. Maybe he is changing his life after all.

Ciara is on a mission, but why she chose to travel the sketchy roads in Colorado during a snowstorm is something that she will not understand. After her car goes over a cliff and she wakes up in a stranger’s house, she has no memory of what happened, where she is, how she got there, or who she is. Instinct takes over and survival is all that she can think of.

I love Giulia Lagomarsino’s books and Dead Man’s Hand was not a disappointment. It has the great characters, danger, humor, and story line that I love in her books. Antonio is a loner, he’s also socially stunted and when he reaches out to his brother in-law, the humor comes in. I love the Cortell Brothers series and A Good Run of Bad Luck will be a great series as well. Antonio and Ciara both need to find someplace to start over, but they need to get the threat surrounding them to back off. Add in an innocent woman to the mix that needs to be protected, and the sassiness is doubled with the women in this book. Who knew that adopting two dogs would reveal a new side of Antonio? His little girl is more pampered than Ciara is by him. I loved the book, and I look forward to more of this series. I give this book a 5-star review.

Switch knew that she was someone special when he first laid eyes on her, but he also knew that she was off limits. Alina was Enzo’s cousin and that made her off limits, besides he was no good for her. His darkness was not something she needed.

Alina was terrified of men when she first found herself on her cousin’s compound. After the ordeal she had been through it was not surprising. However, after the initial shock of meeting Switch, her feelings for him began to grow.

I loved Switch’s story. The only problem I had was that it seemed as though I stepped into it a little late. A year had passed since Deadly Love and the initial meeting of these two. It seemed as though I was missing some important parts. Maybe I missed a book in between. The story, however, was awesome and full of danger, action, and great characters, just like all of Ms. Trejo’s books. I love her characters and her stories and will read anything she writes. Alina and Switch both have baggage that they need to put aside to make a relationship work. When Switch realizes that Alina calms him and that he would do anything to keep her safe, his demons begin to take a back seat. I am loving this series and look forward to more in the future. I give this book a 4-star review.

When Whistler starts digging into Charlie and her husband, he isn’t expecting to find the danger and the connection to his sister, but he is determined to save them both and protect what is his. I loved this book. Whistler is such a great character. The MC is finally coming together, and Mercy’s is coming along now that there is someone that knows what they’re doing in remodeling it. I am looking forward to reading more in the Ruthless Hellhounds MC series. I love the Ruthless world and the characters always brighten my day. I loved that Charlie was the one to finally save day and get her own revenge with her “husband”. It was such a great ending to their tumultuous relationship. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to more from the characters in this series. Another great story in the Ruthless Underworld!

Lucius Vinemont is an arrogant man. His family owns Magnolia Sugar, it was built by him mother. Lucius and his two brothers run the company, but someone wants to take it over buy them out or do a hostile takeover.

Evelyn is looking to take over Magnolia Sugar and dismantling it. She wants to destroy the Vinemont family and she plans to do it by any means necessary. The only problem is that her plans don’t go the way she wanted and now she has a shadow. He’s not the only shadow though, and the other shadow could be the more dangerous of the two.

I really enjoyed this story, it was full of action, secrets, betrayal, danger, and a powerful family that is ruthless in protecting what is theirs. They’re also the family that ended the Acquisition years prior, and now they are in danger with the old guard and new blood trying to bring it back, but they know that the Vinemont’s will have to be destroyed or ended before that can happen. The only trouble is that the Vinemont’s are more powerful that any expected them to be, and they don’t the backing the families do that are trying to renew the Acquisition. The characters are well developed and strong. The story was enjoyable, and the danger was palpable. I give this story a 4-star review.
