MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5
I absolutely loved this story. While I’ve loved all of the Defiance stories I’ve read, I think I have to say that Fixate was my favorite.
Maxxy is a woman that is tough, strong, independent, and has a past that will come back to destroy her present and future life. Being an employee of The NOLA Defiance also makes her a member of the family, so when her past comes back to destroy what she’s built for herself, The NOLA Defiance will have her back no matter what.
HooDoo has his own past and he keeps it pretty close to the vest, but when he is put in charge of helping Maxxy with the Plantation, they get to know each other better, and an attraction grows. Even though Maxxy drives HooDoo crazy, he can’t seem get her off his mind when they aren’t together. With an alliance on the line due to Maxxy’s past, can he save her and the alliance, or will he lose one or the other, or both?
Absolutely love Maxxy and her strength.

MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 out of 5
Maxie and Kit’s story was great! The Harper Security Ops men keep finding women that test their strength in patience, as well as their ability to not be and Alpha hole that demands that they obey their every request.
Maxie is a kind, quiet, woman that keeps to herself and enjoys being alone more than being out in public, but when her life is in danger, her entire world changes and her views on being alone all the time change as well. When Kit steps up and offers to help her, her mind starts to doubt all that she is seeing and she wonders if any of it is real.
Kit is ready for some down time and enjoying the fact that their lives at Harper Security Ops has been quiet and slow, but when he returns with his lunch one afternoon and finds a young woman in need of help, he’s all for stepping up and being the Knight in Shining Armor that she needs. Kit is entranced by Maxie and her quirkiness as well as her beauty and crafty knowledge.
I loved this book and can’t wait for more stories with the remaining guys that are single. I love the men of Harper Security Ops and the women that they find to protect for life.

Natalie
The past year of my life has been a nightmare.
Always watching what I said and did to not anger him.
Until the night he takes things too far.
Running to the Lotus MC is dangerous, but it’s the only choice I’ve got.
All I can hope is that they are strong enough to save me from the monster chasing me.
Reaper
Being the president of the Lotus MC means that I have to be ready for anything.
So when she shows up at my door broken and bruised, I’m skeptical.
Until she says the one name that stops me in my tracks.
When my past and present collide, my entire world gets turned upside down.
All I know is that I will protect her at all costs.
MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 out of 5
Reaper and Natalie’s story is a great read. While Natalie is a stranger to Reaper’s world, she knows that he is the only person she can run to for help and protection, but what she finds beyond that is so much more. This story shows that chosen family is so much more than blood family. When we choose those we consider family it is easy, comfortable, and fulfilling. Natalie finds that with the Lotus MC after she gets settled in.
Reaper never expected to find a woman to make his old lady, or that he would fall in love or go beyond one night with a woman, but Natalie blind sided him and he can’t seem to let her out of his sight for long. When the MC finds itself in trouble with a cartel boss over their arrangement, Reaper has to take a long hard look at his brothers to figure out who he can trust and if he needs to clean house to start over. Being the previous president’s son, he knows that not everyone that was under his father’s rule is happy with his way to running the MC, but to put the entire MC in danger is beyond comprehension.
I really liked this book and I can’t wait for more to come in this series. There are a lot brothers that have stories to tell and I am waiting to read them.
🚨 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 ➜ 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐎𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲, Book #2) by Bella Di Corte @Bella_DiCorte – A 5 ⭐️ Read
.jpg)
I’m in love—well, some would call it obsessed—with a mythical family. Technically, they’re not a myth, because they do exist. But seeing one is like seeing a wild lion out on the streets of New York. Rare. Except when they’re making the papers.I know something about that. I work for Vice City Times, a newspaper that reports on, and caters to, the criminal organizations of the world. And in our world, the Fausti family is considered royalty among killers, thieves, and generally anyone who usually does business in the dark.
Because they steal hearts—while they’re still beating.
Being the investigative journalist that I am, I followed the crumbs until they led me to Nazzareno “Naz” Fausti.
It was my dream to go undercover, meet them, and write an article detailing everything I discovered. I never planned to witness Naz stealing a heart right from its chest.
Mine.
My name is Ava Gerardi, aka Pepper Nash, and I’m writing my own story.
MY REVIEW – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5
I love Ava and Nazzareno’s story. It was more than I expected and a great story.
Nazzareno Fausti is the oldest son of the youngest Fausti brother, Lothario Fausti. Lothario has taken the lead of the family while Luca in is prison. This story tells of Lothario’s betrayal to his father and oldest brother as well as Ava and Nazzareno’s paths and how they crossed. Nazzareno is happy with his life of being a pilot, but the family has other plans for him. His life will take a complete turn after he lays eyes on Ava Gerardi, aka Pepper North.
Ava Gerardi is a woman possessed with the Fausti family. A reporter for Vice City Times, she is always looking for more about the Fausti family and ways that she can meet one member, if not the whole family. Her possessiveness, or obsession, whichever way you want to look at it, could be her downfall or the end of her life, but with other factors coming in, it could be the best thing to happen to her.
I loved the characters and the story. It was dark, deep, dangerous, and I loved that Luca was such a different person that had his own manipulations going on in the book. I can’t wait for more is this series or from Bella Di Corte in general. I love her books and her characters

I never forgot his warm touch, or the way I felt safe with him for a brief moment before I ran for my life.
Imagine my surprise when half a decade later our paths collide unexpectedly, and I discover he’s part of a powerful MC with ties to my vengeful ex.

After losing my freedom for helping the beaten girl I found on the side of the road, I was determined to let her go. The only problem was her somber blue eyes that haunted me every night when I closed mine.
I never imagined I’d see her again, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙛𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙨. Now, she needs my protection more than ever. But this time around, she’s keeping secrets that could get her killed. And it isn’t only her ex who’s on the hunt for what she’s desperately trying to hide.

Kate is a lover of all things books. It doesn’t matter what genre, as long as there’s a HEA, she’s in. She started reading romance in high school and would hide novels in textbooks to read during class. Becoming an author was always a dream she had and finally decided to put pen to paper (or finger to keyboard) and write what she loves. She grew up in the beautiful upper peninsula of Michigan then became a West Coast girl where she lives with her amazing husband and hilarious son. She would love to hear from readers so check out all her socials and sign up for her newsletter so she can keep you up to date on her books and whatever other ramblings come to mind.

MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Another new to me author that’s made a great impression! Linc: The Black Roses MC, Book #1 is a great start to a new series, but also a great introduction to a new to me author.
This story was gritty, twisted and surprising. It starts out with a chance meeting in a run down diner with a waitress that’s withdrawn, quiet, and hiding things. Two MC brothers from The Black Roses MC that happened upon the diner on their way home from a run and then one of those brothers finding the waitress walking along the dark, rainy road at night. He stops to pick her up and helps her out only to be left by her to deal with the aftermath on his own.
Five years later and another chance meeting has these two back together and fighting the past with the MC behind Linc and a couple of sassy women that are in need of help, again.
I loved this story and the characters. The best friend is a great surprise and a wonderful character that left me wanting so much more of her story. Charlie is a woman that is on the run and needs saving, although to hear her talk, she can take care of herself, but when there is a crazy man after her that no one can keep a handle on, she may need to turn to Linc again for saving and protection. I can’t wait to read more of The Black Roses MC and the wonderful characters within the books. I will also be looking for more of Kate Randall’s books to read in my future. So glad I pick this book up.

𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮: 𝙝𝙞𝙨, 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙩𝙝. Rozelyn De Falco has been branded an enemy and captured by the Corsetti family, intent to torture her father’s location from her. But Rozelyn has her own plans, and being imprisoned is merely one she already has in place.
Flynn Rhodes, enforcer of the Corsetti family, gains more than just a captive in Rozelyn. He finds his past. A girl he cared for when they both had different lives. 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙡𝙞𝙚, and Flynn only cares about vengeance and the oaths he’s taken. 𝙄𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙙, 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙤𝙢 𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙮 𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙩.

Either way, it’s not Flynn who comes down anymore. Instead, two other soldiers alternate, and they barely glance at me, and they don’t speak to me other than to command me up the stairs and position a gun at my back as they walk me to a bathroom in the main hall, which makes me wonder why Flynn’s always brought me to his from the very first instance.
I’ve asked about Flynn’s whereabouts, but they pretend not to hear me. This is a daily activity now.
Other than during their visits, the basement’s lights are kept off, but thankfully, I never return to that dark place I went to the last time I was alone for an extended length of time.
In the silence, my mind travels a lot. It relives everything Dad ever did to me. His malicious means of training me for this. His cruel ways of raising me to be his soldier rather than his daughter.
“Fight him.” Dad flicks his fingers to one of the soldiers he’s brought to the training room. A mountain-sized man with biceps as wide as my head, height that towers two feet above me, and a menacing snarl that says he’d eat me for breakfast if given the chance.
“You’re kidding me?” I look from Dad to the solider and back. At twenty-four, this isn’t the first soldier he’s had me train against, but no one like this. “I’ll lose. More so, he’ll break me.”
“Attack,” Dad commands. “Before he does.”
I didn’t move for almost a week afterwards. His soldier took me down in less than a minute, bruising my back.
He never taught me enough to fight back against him. Or, somehow I was hardwired unable to do so. Maybe because I was already in the monster’s web, and his training never exactly got me into the fighting shape it should have.
The single time I tried to block his incoming hit, I paid for the act of defiance.
The basement door opens and shuts again, taking me from the latest trip through my hellish memories. It feels like it’s only been an hour since they brought me to the bathroom so I can’t help but be dismayed that I’ve clearly lost an entire night. Time is slipping faster and faster away. Not sure if that’s positive or not…Through the darkness, I’m able to make out the shape of who comes down and it’s not either of the men. It’s also not someone new. I know his figure as well as I know my own.
He doesn’t approach, so I don’t move from the sleeping bag I’ve dragged to the centre of the room. Being unchained means having access to these luxuries he once teased me with.
I wait for him to speak, counting sixty seconds, and wonder if he’s also waiting for me to begin. Uncomfortable silence, is it?
Eventually, he sits right at the base of the stairs, his back against the far wall so he’s facing me. His legs stretch out in front of him, crossing at the ankles. That’s all I’m able to make out though, and I wish he’d turn on the light so I can see his face. A long sigh follows, signaling the break in silence.
