Trouble had found its way to our doorstep, and it hadn’t come alone.
And now, things were shifting under our feet.
Every move mattered.
Any mistake was a hit we couldn’t afford.
And through the lies, the blood, and the betrayal, there was her.
She was part of my past I couldn’t bury.
I never expected to see her again, but there she was.
Beautiful as ever and a pull I couldn’t shake
It was time to face the truth.
Love doesn’t play fair.
Blood doesn’t always mean family.
And the choices we make aren’t always the right ones.
I’m Goose.
This is my story.
And if you think you know how this ends… trust me. You don’t.

I love the characters in this series and the stories are great! Full of danger, action, Alpha protectors, and wonderfully, strong, independent women that keep their men on their toes. I love it and I can’t wait to read more.

A.K. Evans is a contemporary romance author of over seventy published novels. While she enjoys writing a good romantic suspense novel, Andrea’s favorite books to write have been her extreme sports romances. That might have something to do with the fact that she, along with her husband and two sons, can’t get enough of extreme sports.
Before becoming a writer, Andrea did a brief stint in the insurance and financial services industry and managed her husband’s performance automotive business. That love of extreme sports? She used to drive race cars!
When Andrea isn’t writing, she can be found homeschooling her two sons, doing yoga, snowboarding, reading, or traveling with her family. She and her husband are currently taking road trips throughout the country to visit all 50 states with their boys.

Sabrina and Hew are left reeling from the lingering danger and the passion ignited between them when her ransom becomes a rescue mission. With an unseen enemy closing in and betrayal lurking around every corner, they’ll have to decide if they can afford to risk their hearts while they fight for their lives…
My Review:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5
Sabrina has been at BKI for several months now and is healing from her traumatic recent past.
Sabrina and Hew are still dancing around each other and instead of communicating, they assume what the other needs, wants, and desires. When Sabrina finds herself in trouble again, from new enemies, Hew will have to step up and open up to Sabrina.
I love the characters in the BKI OG and Reloaded series. I love the comradery these operatives have with each other and the family atmosphere. They are always up in each others’ business, pick at each other, but beneath it all they would all kill and die for each other. I love these stories and the characters and I can’t wait for the next book. I’m invested in these books to find out who the real bad guy is behind the curtain.

Karen Renee is the author of the Riot Motorcycle Club, Beta, and O-Town series of books. She once crunched Nielsen ratings data but these days she brings her imagination to life by writing books. She has wanted to be a writer since she was very young, but it’s taken the last twenty plus years for her to amass enough courage and overall life experience to bring that dream to life. Some of those life experiences came from the wonderful world of advertising, banking, and local television media research. She is a proud wife and mother, and a Jacksonville native. When she’s not at the soccer field or cooking, you can find her at her local library, the grocery store, in her car jamming out to some tunes, or hibernating while she writes and/or reads books.

My Review:⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5
Savannah’s an independent, strong woman and hates to ask for help. She’ll do anything to protect her younger sister and keep them both safe.

Savannah is determined to stand on her own and protect her younger sister, but at what cost. When more danger and trouble finds her leaving Platinum’s Gentleman’s Club after her first full performance, Punc feels responsible and guilty that he let her perform. Now he’s stepping in to make sure she’s okay and protected.
I enjoyed this book and I love the characters in the Riot MC series. This book was filled with page-turning trouble, and danger lurking in the shadows. I’m looking forward to more Riot MC books in the future.
𝗗𝗢𝗨𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗔𝗟! Are you ready for the final two books in the Fury Vipers MC: Dublin Chapter by Author Brooke Summers?!?! Tank & Rush are coming in 2026!
She was enraptured by the man they called Romeo the moment that he turned those butterscotch-colored eyes her way.
What wasn’t to love about a big, burly, plaid-wearing lumberjack?
He was tall, gorgeous, and knew how to wield a chainsaw better than Leatherface. He could fell a tree in seconds, had thighs that were as thick as said trees, filled out a pair of Wranglers better than any cowboy ever, and didn’t care that she could operate heavy machinery better than him.
He was everything a girl like Mable could ask for.
The caveat? He was a convicted felon that’d just escaped from prison, faked his death, and ran from his home in Texas to the mountains of Montana.
At first, Mable didn’t know what kind of man he’d been before coming to her small, mountain town. He led Mable into a false sense of security, made her fall madly, deeply, and irrevocably in love with him, and then shocked her by sharing his darkest secret.
Now, she’s left reeling, thinking life couldn’t get more complicated.
Until she finds out her stepmother knows Romeo’s secret and plans to exploit him. To make matters worse, Romeo goes on the run to protect Mable from himself, and she realizes that she has a dark side, too. One that’ll stop at nothing, not even murder, to make sure that he can live free.
Lani Lynn Vale is an American author of humorous romantic suspense novels. Born in the Great State of Texas, she has lived the majority of her adult life in East Texas where most of her novels are based. She’s married to her high school sweetheart whom her readers refer to as “LLV’s Bearded Half.” She published her first novel, Boomtown. in the summer of 2013 after the birth of her third child. She’s gone on to publish over 100 novels, with most of them going on to become USA Today Bestsellers.
I’m so excited to have another new series to read from Lani Lynn Vale. Her books always make me laugh, sometimes cringe, but always leave me wanting more.
House of BS & Lies was a great story to start the new Don’t Hate Him Series. As per usual with Lani’s books, this one is a spin off from a character in her last series and has some tense moments in it.
Romeo is a convicted felon and Mable is a woman that live a straight and narrow life. Romeo may be a felon, but he’s a good man at heart, and Mable can’t help but fall for him. Even when she’s angry, he finds a way to lighten her day.
Mable is a hard working young woman that has dealt with a lot in her young life, but she’s finding that her circle could be a little bigger.
I loved this story and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series. I love Lani’s books and devour them as soon as I can.

Twins. We’re having twins.

And sometimes the biggest celebrations come with the heaviest prices.
Adventure calls when Oahu Defiance needs our help, but danger lurks closer than we realize. As we prepare to expand our family and embrace this new chapter, the shadow of the unknown threatens to steal our joy.
I’m living in a dream I never want to wake up from.
But dreams don’t last forever, especially not for people like us.
And when reality comes crashing down, it changes everything.
What happens when the best moments of your life become the memories you’re desperate to hold onto?

A Small Town, Friends to Lovers, Romantic Suspense from Bestselling Author Nyssa Kathryn.
Nyssa Kathryn has done a great job with the Amber Ridge Series and the characters are wonderful, just like all of her stories. I love how her books seamlessly move into the next series based on her characters and the story lines.
Bonnie has returned to her hometown after tragedy struck her in her teens and she felt as if she couldn’t breath in Amber Ridge any longer. Thirteen years of being on her own until her big brother reached out and encouraged her to come home. Her life isn’t perfect being back in Amber Ridge, but the local gym owner, Zane is making things bearable for her, as well as her family welcoming her back with open arms.
Zane has his own tragic past that he is trying to overcome, and when his two worlds collide, he’ll have to decide whether he can bring Bonnie into his life, or keep her at a distance. However, he may not get to make that decision on his own.
I loved this story and it was a great ending to the series. I look forward to more books by Nyssa in the future. She’s a favorite author of mine to read and her books never disappoint.
