Blurb:

Love makes you weak.

It breeds doubt, confusion, and doesn’t belong in our world. Something my father made sure of, and like the doting son, I believed him.

I guard myself…put my focus on corruption and fear instead.

But, Arloe—she was never afraid.

She fantasizes about men like me, except I’m real and my life is no fairy tale.

They call me a monster—a thief in the night created to cause chaos, but she’s always loved a good adventure into the unknown.

Perhaps that’s why she reads.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

She’s so angry that her parking spot has been taken, again! She may be small, but it has not stopped her from speaking her mind and when she finally sees the man that owns the Bugatti that has been in her spot lately, she can’t hold her tongue. She walks outside and gives him a piece of her mind and tells him to park somewhere else. Little does she know that the man she is running her mouth to is a very dangerous man. Of course, she wouldn’t know that because she has only lived in town for six months.

He is the second oldest of the Ciccone family. He’s a dangerous man. He is not a Ciccone by blood, but then none of the kids are, they were all adopted by the man that they call father. He raised them to do as he says and not ask questions. They’ve been disciplined to follow his orders always. When they don’t, he finds a way to bring them back under his thumb, but Easton has had enough of blindly following his father and doing his bidding, especially after meeting Arlo, the woman that gave him a tongue lashing and then showed up and saw something she never should have. Now he has to make sure that Arlo doesn’t talk about what she saw, and he may just enjoy that job most.

I really liked this story. It is full of danger, suspense, sexy times, and a very strong-willed woman that finds herself in dangerous situations and a man that keeps his feelings under wrap. Arlo loves her books and reads about dangerous, deadly men, but she’s never really met one in person, until she stumbles on Easton Ciccone. She is estranged from her father, but she still loves him and when she is put in danger because of him and Easton, she has to figure out where her loyalty lies and if she can trust either man. I love the characters in this story, and I can’t wait to read more of the Ciccone Brothers stories. I give this story a 5-star review and hope the next book comes out soon. This family is dysfunctional and dangerous.

Cocked Hammer is book 4 of the Cleveland, OH chapter of Royal Bastards MC. Each book in this series is written so it may be read as a standalone, but we recommend reading this book after Eternally Ginger.

Our lives were so tightly wound it was impossible to get her off my mind. I was a double agent implanted in her life and she was my assignment. —One I had full intentions of conquering as many times as I could.

None of that took me by surprise, what did were the feelings I had for her. Feelings I shouldn’t have and didn’t know if I wanted especially given the family she belonged to. Her family was under my club’s investigation, so loving her was out of the question. The thing was, when I realized what she was to me it was too late.

Now, I had to pray she wasn’t the one behind all of the mutiny against the RBMC. If she was I didn’t know if I could save her or not.

Her life was not what it appeared to be. From the time she was a little girl until now, her life was not her own. When she draws the attention of Sledgehammer, of the RBMC, it just might be a good thing.

He was given a job to do for his MC. He was focused on that job until feelings started to get in the way and then he was worried that what he found out could be a death sentence for a woman that he was falling for. Could he save her if she was involved with what her family was doing to the MC?

Lina is a woman that is trapped in her life and her circumstances. She has dreams, but they can never be fulfilled because of the debt she has to pay off. Her life is a little better with the assignment she has of running the pet store for her “family”, but she has no idea the real danger she is in because of them. When Sledgehammer starts checking things out, he sees Lina and decides to use her to get to the bottom of the RBMC’s suspicions, however, feelings start making themselves known and Sledgehammer is worried that he won’t be able to protect Lina. I really liked this story and with all of the RBMC chapters, I love the characters of the Cleveland, OH MC. The books are always action packed, steamy, and have great characters. I give this story a 5-star review and I am looking forward to more from Chelle C. Craze and Eli Abbott.

Sometimes you have to give all or nothing…

Aiden O’Connell—exonerated, determined, steadfast, and brokenhearted.

I tried to stand by him. I failed. After the attack, my mind altered. I couldn’t see anything but my ex—all men are the same.

Our love now gone.

Everything is harder.

His father totally out of control, I have signs of PTSD, and an unexpected death makes everything change in ways we couldn’t have predicted.

Life with Aiden was never meant to be easy, but now maybe it can move forward for us both…

From International Bestselling Author K E Osborn comes, All of Me Book Three in the Trust Me Series (previously published in 2014). This series has been re-edited with new content and a new cover.

There’s a string quartet playing softly in the background. I watch the guests’ faces as they see me approaching, all staring in awe. For the first time in my life, I actually feel beautiful.

My eyes shift to the end of the path—Aiden.

My breath stops.

It’s like I’m seeing him for the first time.

Time stands still as I stare at my soon-to-be husband who’s smiling at me so lovingly. He looks so handsome, so completely gorgeous that all worries of the cobblestone path evaporate into thin air. Actually, I feel like I’m floating down the path toward him.

As I edge closer and closer to Aiden, the world falls away. Everything disappears, and all I see is him. He is my world. He is all that matters. And right now, my heart is so full, I could burst.

I never knew what it was like to love someone so much I would lay my life down for him. I would do anything for him. I would give up my world for him. But walking toward Aiden right now, I finally know what that feeling is like.

I reach the archway covered in greenery and white gilded roses. The area is so beautiful, it brings a tear to my eyes.

Aiden is broken and devastated about what happened to Jenifer, but also because of her reaction to it all. Now he’s on his own again and trying to find a way to pick up the pieces to move on. Can these two ever find peace and a life together? More tragedy strikes again for these two.

Jenifer can’t seem to find her way after her attack, and she is taking it out on Aiden. Broken, confused, and so alone, Jenifer finds comfort and understanding in an unlikely source. Now she just has to convince Aiden that she’s really worth the hassle and trouble that they have both encountered since they met.

These two can’t seem to catch a break. They’ve been through the ringer and are still trying to stay together and find their way to their Happily Ever After. It seems as though the Universe has other ideas for them. They have a lot of people rooting for them, including me, but they have some devious people working against them. Jenifer has more baggage now and Aiden will have to convince her that their relationship is the real thing. Jenifer is almost working against herself as well; she has to find a path that will benefit her relationship rather than destroy it as well as find the strength within to show Niall that she is the right woman for Aiden. This story has been an emotional roller coaster and book 3 has a happy ending, but there’s more to come and I am hoping that Aiden and Jenifer are not in for more tragedy and destruction. I give this book a 5-star rating.

🔥Blurb: 

Having your old Army buddy call you and open with, “Hey—remember that favor you own me for saving your ass? Well, I need to collect,” wasn’t a promising start to a conversation. When Ratchet’s friend, Mason, called to say he needed his help, he was all in. Mason was right, Ratchet owed him his life a few hundred times over and he’d do whatever he needed to pay his buddy back—including risking his life. Hearing that his MC’s rival had Mason’s little sister was only a bonus because that would mean that he’d be able to kick some Dragon ass to help get her back. Now, all he had to do was convince his club’s Prez, Savage, that going into enemy territory was a good idea, even if they all knew better. Living the motto, “No guts, no glory,” was sure taking on a new meaning, but not helping his friend wasn’t an option.

Laney Zane felt like a first-class fool for trusting the hot biker to show her a good time. She should have listened to her older brother, Mason, and steered clear of the Dragon’s clubhouse, but she wanted to have a good time. She got a whole lot more than she bargained for when she woke up in a cage with about five other women. Yeah, her big brother was right—again, and this time, she might not ever be able to hear him tell her those four little words that she always hated hearing from him, “I told you so.” God, what she’d give to hear Mason say those words to her just one more time.

Ratchet’s Revenge is K.L. Ramsey’s fourth book in the Royal Bastards MC series.

My Review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Ratchet’s Army buddy needs to collect on the favor owed to him. His buddy, Mason, may have special clearance for military ops, but this op requires someone that has other connections. Mason and Ratchet are good friends and Mason has called Ratchet asking for his help, his sister has gone missing, and he thinks he knows right where she is, but he’s been given orders to stand down.

Laney just wanted to have a night where she could go out and let loose a little, but what she found instead was not fun. Her life is in danger, and she hopes that her brother will find her before the danger turns into pain and irreparable damage.

I love the RBMC books, and the Savage Hells MC, a chapter of the RBMC, has it a rival that they can’t seem to break down and rid themselves of. Now they need to go in again to rescue someone from the Dragons. This is never an easy task. Laney and Ratchet have known each other since Ratchet and Mason were in the Army together. Ratchet used to go home with Mason on leaves and met Laney during one of those leaves. Laney has never looked at Ratchet as a brother, she’s always had a crush on him, but Ratchet has only ever seen his friend’s little sister. Now she’s grown up and they are stashed away by themselves while he protects her. What could happen? I loved Ratchet’s story and these books always have a lot of action, Alpha men, and strong women that keep the men on their toes. Ratchet’s Revenge is no different. Laney is a woman that knows what she wants and who she is. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to more of the RBMC 3^rd Run.

When I was sixteen a gypsy fortune teller told me my future held darkness and death.
She was right.
But what she didn’t tell me was the devil himself would rise from hell in the form of Lucca Dyshekov and take everything from me with a gun held to my head.

He’s the Bratva assassin they all call Merciless.
On our wedding day he taught me real monsters aren’t the ones who hide in the dark.
They’re the ones who stare you in the face and steal your soul.

On a quest for revenge, he takes me and unearths secrets from the past that will cause a war.
When death lies on the horizon the enemy of my enemy becomes my friend.
In this instance, he’s my husband.
The real question is when he finishes uncovering the truth, will he keep me or kill me.

Excerpt

We stare at each other for what feels like forever, and my nerves spike with every second that passes. 

The way he looks at me makes me uncomfortable. It’s with an air of fascination that makes me wonder if it was he I lost my virginity to. 

Annoyingly, the thought sends a shiver of arousal through me, and the weight pulls on my core. 

There’s an attraction between us I don’t want to accept, especially after last night. And this morning.

Yet, as I stare at him, I can’t help but wonder how we would have met if my father didn’t know I knew him.

How close were we?

I have so many questions, ones I feel he won’t answer, 

 “Go on, Printsessa,” he urges with a cocky smile that should be as illegal as he is. “Ask me. I don’t want my bride’s head to explode with all those questions she has swirling around in there.” 

Him calling me his bride makes me cringe. 

“Why do you want to marry me? What sort of business benefit is there in marrying me?” 

“Business benefit?” He inclines his head, and his hair drifts over his shoulder. The fading sunlight captures the lighter hints of brown in the dark mass of wild hair.

“You don’t love me, so don’t play with me. Tell me the truth. You’re marrying a woman who has no memories beyond the last two and a half years. I think I deserve some explanation.” 

He looks like he’s considering it. When he sets his shoulders back, my hopes rise. 

“You fit in with my plans,” he answers. 

“What plans?”

“Those don’t concern you.” 

“How don’t they concern me? You have access to my whole life. This is wrong. You know it is.” 

“Right and wrong are shades of gray that people manipulate to take whatever form they want. This is mine.” 

I shake my head. “I don’t want to marry you.”

“You don’t have a choice, and if I were you, I wouldn’t create problems. Your father wasn’t joking when he told you to do as you’re told. You need to. If you don’t create problems, you won’t have a problem with me.” 

He touches my cheek, and my body instantly betrays me. 

The memory of his face comes into my mind, along with a kiss—the one from last night and another from before. That was the one I dreamt about. 

“Where do I know you from?” 

“I told you, you shouldn’t try and remember me.” 

“Why? You’re the only thing I remember,” I confess, and as the words leave my lips, I regret it. I don’t think I should have told him that. 

“Is that so? How unfortunate for you.” He backs away. 

“You said you wouldn’t hurt me.” 

“I guess I must have lied.”

My Review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

They have a past, but only one of them can remember it. He’s saved her before and whether he meant to or not, he’s saving her again.

Aria De Marchi has no idea that she is a pawn in her father’s life. A tragic event left her with no memory of her earlier years. She was close to graduating from Berklee where she attended on a scholarship. The trouble is, she can’t remember her talent or what her life was like before tragedy struck. She only knows what people tell her, and it doesn’t help her get her memory back.

He’s lost so much in his life, and it has made him the man he is today. A Vor in the Bratva, Lucca is a man who is feared by many and respected by those in the Bratva that helped him gain the power he has, with the exception of one man, a man that isn’t even Russian and has no ties to the Bratva, other than his friendship with the Pakhan.

I really liked this story. It has twists and turns as well as many secrets that could destroy many, or could get them killed for knowing them or speaking them. Aria and Lucca have a relationship based on secrets and lies and they could destroy anything they might try to build. Lucca is out for revenge and wants to take the one precious thing in the life of his enemy, however, his revenge could be a saving grace for Aria. This story grabbed me from the beginning and held on until the end, which left me wanting more. I give this story a 5-star review and am looking forward to book 2 in the duet. If you are a reader that enjoys dark, dangerous made men, stories with a lot of secrets and danger, then you will enjoy Merciless Vow.
