What lurks in the shadows…

I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
When Broderick Cross saved me from an untimely fate.
I hated him with every fiber of my being,
And I know he won’t touch me because I’m his best friend’s sister.
Or that’s what I thought.
But even with danger knocking on my door,
The one I need protection from is him.

EXCERPT

I hated that son of a bitch, with every inch of my being. Could I believe I was thinking this about Broderick now? No, but his behavior had put me on edge.
Our eyes met as soon as I entered the bar. Not even the darkness of the environment could prevent the stare down that occurred. His blue eyes clashed with mine and warning bells sounded in my mind.
I pulled at the dark denim jacket that I had thrown on over my low-cut black shirt and jeans with black flats. The perfect outfit for me for this spring evening. I tucked a piece of my blonde hair behind my ear and smiled at the bartender when I approached. I ordered a light beer and received it immediately, basking in the fact that I didn’t have to pay due to my brother having an open bar.
“There’s my favorite little sister.”
I smiled at the moniker. “I’m your only little sister,” I said as I turned around. There standing behind me was my older brother, IPA in hand, ready to be the life of the party.
“I’m glad you could make it.”
“Same, but I wouldn’t miss your promotion celebration for the world. I’m so proud of you.”
I leaned in to hug him and when I looked over his shoulder, I saw the only person who was currently on my shit list.
“Hey, man, congrats again on the promotion.”
Broderick came around Hunter’s left side while I stood on his right. It took everything in me not to roll my eyes. I waved my brother off when one of his friends called his name and all that was left were two piercing blue eyes staring back at me.
“Grace.”
I let out a deep breath. “I don’t want to talk to you.”
“Tough shit. I want to talk to you.”
He had some damn nerve. I leaned over and whispered to him, “I’m not talking to you about anything related to my personal life because it is none of your concern. Better yet, I don’t want to talk to you at all. So leave.”
That didn’t do anything to deter him. “Hellion, if you want to experience Elevate up close and personal, all you have to do is ask. Not entertain the idea of some asshole in a cheap three-piece suit taking you there.”
My mood soured. Broderick had the audacity to say these things, but I refused to sit here and tolerate it. I took another swig of my beer before I put it back down on the bar and turned to him. “Who knew how much of an asshole you could be? Wait, don’t answer that. Have a good night.”
I hoped the bite in my tone told him that I wanted him to have anything but. I made my way through the crowd and found my brother.
“Listen, Hunt, something came up and I need to head out,” I whispered in his ear.
“Already?” The look of disappointment made me feel like shit, but I knew if I stayed, Broderick would be watching me like a hawk all night, which was disturbing, whereas my own brother wouldn’t do this. I also didn’t trust myself not to snap at him again. Hunter opened his arms and I stepped into his embrace. “Do you want me to walk you to the subway?”
I shook my head. “No. Don’t miss out on your own party because of me. I might decide to take a cab. I’ll call you later.”
“You better.”
I gave him one last smile before I strolled toward the door. Just before I reached it, I looked up and found Broderick staring back at me from another corner of the room. He lifted his beer in a mock salute, and I gave him my one-finger one in return. Two could play this immaturity game.
I pulled out my phone to call a car and saw that the wait time was way longer than I wanted to deal with. I adjusted my jacket over my body, applied a coat of lip gloss, and put my phone back in my purse before I wandered down the street. I had walked a couple of buildings away from the bar before I heard a low groan coming from my left. When I looked, I found a dimly lit alleyway, but I saw nothing in the darkness.
Is someone over there? Where did that noise come from?
Although fear swam through my mind, I knew I had to do something. That was when I saw someone leaning against a brick wall and it was clear that they were hurting in some way. As I started to walk into the alley, another figure appeared from the shadows and walked up to the person and the next thing I heard was a croak. The figure backed away from the person, who slowly slid down the brick wall.
Did…did I just see someone get stabbed?
A scream bubbled below the surface, and I knew if it erupted from my mouth I would draw the attention of the person still in the alleyway. Before I could emit any sound or run away, I felt a hand slip over my lips, and another around my waist as I was dragged away from the opening of the alley. That something felt warm against my lips. Since I still had the ability to fight, there was no way I was going down without one. I fought against my attacker, and I heard a grunt before someone said, “Grace, cut it out.”
Broderick?
“Let me go!” I screamed, but it was mostly muffled by what I now knew to be Broderick’s hand.
He continued pulling me back until he whispered in my ear, “I’m going to remove my hand, but you have to promise not to scream.”
I nodded my head quickly and he did as he said he would. As he wiped his hand, removing the remnants of my lip gloss from it, I said, “Broderick, I might be able to save his life, let me go.”
“Do you want to save your own? Be quiet and follow me.

Review of Storm: A Dark & Dirty Sinners’ MC Book 8 by Serena Akeroyd @SerenaAkeroyd

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Storm and Keira’s story is such a great read. Storm is probably one of my favorite characters in the Satan’s Sinners MC series. He is not perfect and made mistakes, but he’s human and not all the mistakes can be blamed on him. He truly loves Keira, Cyan and his brothers in the New Jersey chapter of the Satan’s Sinners. He’s a man that has a lot of baggage from his past and was betrayed by the people that should have protected and cared for him.

Keira is a girl from the right side of the tracks and not someone that you would normally see with a biker. She has her own kind of baggage being raised as a preacher’s daughter. Not all families have the perfect life that they show the world. She needs to open her heart and her mind and listen and talk to Storm.

I really liked Storm’s story. He shows his vulnerabilities when it comes to Keira and Cyan. They have a lot to overcome if they want to be a family again. Cyan has a lot of scars of her own and if her parents can work out their problems, it just might help Cyan heal and move on from her ordeal. I loved the story and the characters in Storm, and I look forward to more books in the Satan’s Sinners books. I give this story a 5-star review. I didn’t feel that Storm needed redemption in my eyes, he just needed to open up and tell Keira the whole truth, and she needed to listen, but I feel that his story gave him the redemption that some readers felt he needed. He is my favorite character, flaws, and all. He proved his worth as the new president of the Coshocton, Ohio chapter. He’s fair, stern, and willing to give the guys a chance to prove their loyalty. He will take out the trash if needed.

Review of The Spy: Kingmakers Book 4, by Sophie Lark

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Wow! Where do start with this book? I loved every page I read in this book. It had me on the edge of my seat waiting to get to the parts where I would get all of the answers for this series. I loved the characters, the story, the plot, all of it. I loved the suspense of not being able to guess who the Spy was in the beginning right through to the end of the book when so much was revealed.

The Spy has to keep his identity a secret for so long that when his true identity is revealed he’s afraid that he will lose the close friends he has made while at Kingmaker’s, but as a true mafia born prince, he will do what is required for his family.

When she finally convinces her father to let her go to Kingmaker’s she is nowhere near prepared for the welcome she will receive or the secrets that will be revealed to her about who her father really is. He’s not the man that she has looked up to for so long. Her whole world will be turned upside down.

I have loved Sophie’s books from the very first book I read. All of her books take me to the world that I am reading. I feel as if I am in the story and know the characters as though they are friends. Her detail to characters, scenery, and story brings her books to life and I love reading them. They are so hard to put down once I have started them. The Spy was no different. This story held so many answers to the so much from the other books, and it was still full of the action, suspense, steam and danger as all of Sophie’s books. I loved it and hated to see it end. I give this book a 5-star review and would give it 10-stars if possible.

Review of Secrets, Lies & Alibies: Wounded Hearts Book 8 by Jacquie Biggar @JacqBiggar

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 out of 5

SAC Agent Amanda Rhinehold has taken a new position in the company, but not because she wanted to, because she was forced to after an error in judgement. Now she’s on desk duty and planning for the changes in her life. When trouble finds her from a past case, she has to go back to Texas and come face to face with the people she put in danger. She has a secret that she’s been keeping too and now it will be out in the open.

Adam O’Connor has another new partner and is still working a large case. When his past comes back to Texas with danger on her heals, he will have to convince his previous SAC that he’s ready for a relationship and helping her.

I enjoyed this story, and the characters are always enjoyable to read. The story is full of action, secrets, danger and great characters. Adam and Amanda both have baggage, and they need to figure out a way to put their pasts behind them and move on and make a life together to protect the innocent. I give this story 4-star review. I have to find time to go back and read the stories earlier in the series.

Review of Chef: Time Served, Book 3 (Tenillo Guardians, TSMC) by Cee Bowerman @CeeBowerman

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Fresh out of prison and starting over, Chef finds himself in Tenillo, Texas building a motorcycle to ride and getting a fresh start. His life is empty without his wife and daughter, and he has no idea why he’s even trying. As he starts to meet the people he’s living around in the junk yard that is run by Pop’s, the man that is giving Chef a second chance, he sees a woman that makes his day brighter, until he realizes that he can never have her because she’s already taken. With nothing else keeping him in Tenillo, Chef leaves because he can’t stand to watch Brea from afar and not have her.

Brea has had her fair share of trouble. She’s also part of the Timed Served crew. She lives in the junk yard with her husband and daughter. She’s a tough lady. When Brea has to go through a rough patch in her life again, it’s the men that are like family that helps her through it. When Pop’s health is in jeopardy and he’s been shot, Chef comes back home to Tenillo.

I love the men and women in the Tenillo Guardians. They are protectors of their town, family, and friends. They will go to any lengths to make sure that their loved ones are safe and protected. They want their town safe and clear of the crime that is going on in town. Chef is determined to win Brea over, but she’s gun shy of relationships after losing a man she loved once. She knows that Chef won’t run away from a fight and that scares her. It takes a lot of convincing on Chef’s part to win her over, but like his determination for protecting those around him, his determination to win Brea over is ruthless. I love these the relationship these men and women have. This was another great read in the Time Served MC Series. I get a lot of laughs at the dialog, both verbally and internally, between the women in these books. Brea’s internal dialog was great. The women are just as tough and ruthless as the men, and I am really looking forward to more in this series. I give this book a 5-star review.

“Mike, I love you, but I’m promised to Niall. And in some ways, I love him, too. I agreed to marry him. I’m a girl of my word and don’t break my promises.” She moved a step away from me.

I couldn’t comprehend what she was saying.

It wasn’t sinking in.

“Wait, what do you mean by that?” I took a step toward her.

Callie put her hand out onto my chest to stop me from getting any closer. “What I mean, Mike… is that my wedding day is in two weeks. I have to go through with it whether I like it or not. I vowed to marry Niall. He loves me unconditionally, and I… well, I love him. Unlike you, he has been there for me these last two years.”

Fuck. My heart broke into tiny little pieces and shattered at my feet.

“You love him?” I whispered—they were only words I could focus on right then.

She nodded and let her hand fall from my chest to her side.

I took a step back and rubbed the back of my neck. “Is there anything I can do to make you change your mind and be with me?”

Callie simply shook her head and walked toward me. She leaned in, kissed my cheek, and then she walked past me and into the mansion, taking my heart with her.

I tried.

I tried, and I’d failed.

I’d lost my girl.

Forever.

What the fuck was I going to do now?

Review of Complete Me: The Trust Me Series, A Companion Novel by KE Osborn @TheNextStepPR @KEOsbornAuthor

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 out of 5

This companion novel to The Trust Me Series is a wrap up of Aiden and Jenifer’s lives once they were able to get married and live the lives they wanted. It tells of the love affair between Callie and Mike that has been going on for decades and the love of Sarah and Chris. It was a great wrap of their lives and the family that they are connected to. I enjoyed the story. It has me crying and getting angry at Aiden for his self-absorption for a bit, but when he finally calmed down and began to look at the whole picture, he was able to see why things happened the way they did.

I enjoyed the characters and the complete family feel that the whole series portrays. These characters may not all be related by blood, Chris and Sarah, for example, but they are so close to Aiden and Jen that they are treated as part of the family by all, and it is wonderful to read. I give the story a 4-star review and was happy to get some questions answered through this novel.

Review of Fury: Untamed Sons, London by Jessica Ames @JessicaAmesAuth @GiveMeBooksPR

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

He was damaged beyond repair. A “freak” as he was called by some. He kept his distance from everyone, even those he considered “friends”. They were afraid of what might happen if he let the demons out, just as much as he was. He was afraid they’d never be contained again. Fury is the Sergeant-at-arms for the Untamed Sons in London. He has to fight to keep his demons under control at the best of times, but when he sees the beautiful angel in front of him one night his world as he knows it is turned on its axis and it may not be righted for a few years.

She happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, the story of her life it seemed. Amalia’s half-brother was always getting her into situations that caused her trouble, but one night she found it all on her own when she was trying to get what she was owed and stumbled on a murder. One of the men she stumbled upon wanted her dead so that she couldn’t talk, and the other man found himself stepping in front of her to protect her and then it became his mission to keep an eye on her to be sure she didn’t talk and put Fury in the hot seat.

For some reason the beautiful woman makes Fury feel something other than disdain or anxiety when she’s around or touches him. He has no idea why. After several years of him trying to keep his distance, she comes running to him for help and now he’ll never let her go. I loved this story of two people who know nothing of love, and they find it at the least expected time and place. Fury and Amalia are a great couple, and their story is wonderful. I love the build up to their HEA and that Amalia is able to see beyond the hurt, pain, and demons that Fury has carried for years. She’s the perfect match to Fury. I love the characters in the Untamed Sons MC series and Fury has always been a favorite with his distance of those around him with exception of Lily-May. He’s a man that has no idea what love is yet, he shows it in ways that even he is not aware of. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to more Untamed Sons MC stories in the future.

Amalia is not like any woman I’ve come across and when I’m with her my fear of being touched disappears. Stalking her might have been a bad decision, but keeping away from her isn’t my choice. I can’t breathe when she’s away from me, and I can’t stand the thought of something happening to her, so when she gets in trouble, my only thought is on protecting what’s mine.

I want him, and nothing is going to stop me from having him. When I witness a murder, my only choice is to go to the only man i know will protect me, even if that puts him and his club in the firing line.
