Natasha Knight is the USA Today Bestselling author of Romantic Suspense and Dark Romance Novels. She has sold over half a million books and is translated into six languages. She currently lives in The Netherlands with her husband and two daughters and when she’s not writing, she’s walking in the woods listening to a book, sitting in a corner reading or off exploring the world as often as she can get away.
I glance around the rink and notice that people aren’t paying us much attention now. They are having their own fun. A few glares here and there, but nothing too terrible. I expected guns, maybe even a little blood to stain this white snow, but I guess I need to rethink my ‘worst scenarios’ since this is a family function.
“You are a freaking sloth, Boom,” Scarlett says, making fun of me.
“Hey, I’m just careful.”
“You look like a newborn baby deer trying to find its legs.”
“That’s mean.”
“Those are the facts, babe.” She clicks her tongue and does the cruelest thing she has ever done to me.
She lets go of my hands.
“I’m going to do a few laps. I’m sure you’ll be around the same spot.”
“Don’t you dare,” I hiss as she lifts her hand and finger waves a farewell to me. “You get back here. What do I do? I don’t know what to do!” I hold out my arms as my feet start to wobble. “Oh man, I’m going to eat fucking ice. I know it,” I say to myself.
Horrible idea. I should have gone to the local casino, but no, I had to go somewhere festive where the locals like to hang and make my appearance. I’m so stupid. Who is going to take me seriously when I look like… what did she call me? A baby deer?
Rude. I’m going to skin her ass later.
“How you doing, Prez?” Teeth asks, crawling on his hands and knees next to me.
“I’m hanging in there. You?”
“Going to go get me a beer. This is a drinking sport,” he says. Teeth looks up at me over his shoulder. His cheeks are red and the red scarf around his neck drags along the ice. “Join me?”
“If I can get there. Crawling is dangerous, Teeth. Someone could fly by and cut your fingers off with the blade on their skates.”
His face turns white and he lifts a hand. “Help me up.”
“No, you’ll bring me down.”
“Help me up, Prez! I didn’t think of that.”
“You got yourself down there, you can get yourself up,” I say, taking a step forward successfully without falling.
His hand wraps around my left ankle, and I hold my breath. “Get off me.”
“No. You’re going to help me, damn it!”
“This was the worst idea ever.”
“You’re just now thinking of that? No shit. None of us know how to skate except Pulse, who had to be a figure skater in his past life. Help me.”
“No!” I try to shake him off, but that’s useless because it causes me to get unbalanced. “You’re a dead man, Teeth,” I say, right before gravity wins. My ass hits the ice so hard the pain vibrates up my spine. I groan in pain and stare up at the night sky. The stars are covered by thick fluffy grey plumes. The snow lands on my face and it feels like a soft tickle against my cheek.
Teeth’s head is propped on my side as he laughs, and I can’t help but to laugh too. “We are so bad at this.”
“Terrible. Let’s not ever do this again,” I say through broken breaths.
K.L. Savage decided they were tired of looking for the kind
of books they wanted to read. They had an itch that needed to be scratched, and
as every girl knows, nothing scratches better than an alpha.
They write about gritty, alpha males, sometimes their dark sides, and the women
they love.
If you have the same itch, their alpha males should fix that.
Blurb: Will From the moment I saw her, I knew she was different. She wasn’t like all the other women I was used to. But then I asked her out and my mind was blown. She was different from every other woman; I just wasn’t sure that was a good thing. Relationships? Off the table. Marriage? Not a chance in hell. Geez, I wasn’t even allowed to stay the night. You would think I was with the woman every man dreamed of, but all I wanted was the woman to want me in the same way I wanted her. It was going to be an uphill battle the whole way, but I was a history teacher. I knew all about warfare.
Charlie God was seriously mistaken when he said that man and woman should live together for the rest of their lives. Why would any woman want to live with a man? They’re disgusting and they don’t listen. They need everything explained to them. I’ve been there, done that, and I’m not interested in repeating it. I live my life for me now, and even the sexy Will Cortell won’t change my mind. He can try, but he will fail. I have to admit, I do like having him around more than I thought. But I will not give in, no matter how much he pushes. Because the thing about strong women is, the harder you push, the harder you push the woman away. And I have no problem walking away from him. I think.
Praise: Goodreads Review – “So far all the books in this series have been amazing, and I was eagerly anticipating this book. And boy oh boy did it deliver.”
The Book Lover – “Charlie you’re my spirit animal! I couldn’t put this book down!”
Goodreads Review – “I love The Cortell Brothers! And this book is definitely my favorite!”
Author Bio: I’m a stay-at-home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow, and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.
Will Cortell is a high school history teacher, he’s one of seven brothers and when he finds the one, he has no idea how to go about getting her on board with his plans. All of the Cortell brothers so far have had to fight for their women in one way or another, but Will’s fight is the hardest so far, in my opinion. He has to fight the history of his woman and he has no idea how to get her to overcome her mindset and open up.
Charlie, short for Charlotte has a past that has colored her opinion of relationships and it is really a tough fight to get her change her mind and see what could be right in front of her. When she first meets Will she’s is instantly attracted to him but she’s not up for a relationship. Her past could hurt her and anyone that is interested in her unless she can fight the mindset she has.
Wow!! I’ve loved the Cortell Brothers since the first book and they all have been pretty steamy, but Will and Charlie’s story is my favorite so far. These two are very steamy together and they have to fight so much to get through Charlie’s past to have any hope of moving forward in their lives. I laughed and cried with this story, but it was an awesome read! I laughed so much reading about Will’s history class, chapter 5, and Will’s interactions with his brothers and their opinion of his “relationship”. These boys are hilarious, and Joe really needs to get his soon. He’s such an instigator. I love that the town cares so much about these boys and I really hope that Josh and Carly can find peace in Josh’s hometown. The brothers all together and their individual stories are some of my favorite books to read. I give this story 5-flaming star reviews and cannot wait until the next books comes out Priceless Ink. If you’re looking for a steamy relationship read with some crazy characters that will have you laughing so much that you’ll be crying, but also want that seriousness that comes when a small town is reeling and so involved in the lives of their community members, this is the book and series to read. Each book is awesome!
Nomad biker: a solitary life, riding from place to place. He may or may not be a member of a motorcycle club.
Tank’s Jagged Outlaw MC bottom rocker once read Southern California but now it reads Nomad.
The Jagged Outlaws MC runs through Tank’s blood even though he wears the club’s Nomad patch. His loyalties are still to the club and to Raptor—the president.
When life gets to be too much, Tank hits the open road, relishing in the freedom of solitary living for a while.
Women come and go in his life, and he prefers it that way. He’d tried settling down when he married his high school sweetheart, but when she walked out on him for another man, she took his trust in women with her.
Now his focus is on the MC, his mother’s health, and his business. He doesn’t want anyone complicating his life or crimping his style. He’s doing just fine on his own.
Until he meets Lena.
The sultry, sassy brunette is unlike any woman he’s ever met. The more she keeps him at arm’s length, the more he wants her. She is turning his life upside down and driving him crazy with desire. But he can’t have any of that. He’s a solitary man, right?
Besides, the MC is going through a power struggle with the VP trying to oust the President. And getting involved with the dark-haired vixen right now would be nothing short of stupidity.
Lena is alone in the world. The grief of losing her parents unexpectedly still consumes her, and throwing herself 100% into her restaurant is the only way she can deal with it. She can’t afford anyone or anything to upset the delicate balance she has in her tightly wound life.
Then Tank comes into her life.
The guy’s trouble.
He exudes raw sex.
And her body wants him in the worst way.
The last thing Lena wants is a man in her life. Life has taught her that the only person she can count on is herself, and she can’t let a man with a chiseled body and a strong jaw blow her off course.
But Tank is persistent and she is weakening.
And just when she lets him into her life, she sees who he is and her world comes crashing down on her.
Tank finds himself in a situation where his allegiance to his club and to Lena are at odds. For the first time in his life, his loyalty to the brotherhood is tested.
Can Tank break through a crossroad in his life without losing both Lena and his club?
The Nomad Biker books are standalone romance novels. This is Tank’s story.
MY ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5
Tank is a nomad in the Jagged Outlaws MC. He was a full-time member but decided he needed to go nomad so that he had the time he needed to care for his momma. Tank is a man that you cannot judge by looks and outside appearances alone. He never thought he would settle down with one woman after everything he went through in his past.
Lena is a business owner that is trying to make a living and moved from her hometown of San Francisco to the small town of Santa Teresita, CA. She needed a fresh start on life, and she had always loved vacationing in Santa Teresita with her parents as a young girl. She’s too busy running her businesses to date or spend time with some guy.
There are choices in life, and we all have to make our own when the time comes. Those choices can be detrimental to ourselves or those we love, but they could also be the best thing to ever happen in life. Tank may be a nomad, but he still cares about his MC and the brothers in the club. The only problem is that he sees things heading downhill and the VP is making decisions that could end the club while also hurting others in the small town. Tank doesn’t want to see his club, or his town suffer, but he has to be sure that he has his back covered if he wants to change things and the choices he makes while doing so is dangerous. Lena has lost so much in her young life and has closed herself off, but Tank makes her feel safe and protected, too bad she doesn’t really know who he is. I loved this story and the characters. The books started off with a slow burn and built up to a story of lust, danger, betrayal and finding the strength to stand up for your beliefs and the support of your community. I give this story a 5-star review and would love to see some more of the characters in this story, like Maniac.
Goodreads Review – “Wow! This was such a dangerous adventure with two people that were very tormented!!”
Goodreads Review – “This story catches your attention from the first page and keeps you glued to it until the very end.”
Goodreads Review – “I love it! The characters have a depth that lets you in, to see their struggles.”
Goodreads Review – “This book was absolutely fantastic and it’s on the darker side of my reading but let me just say that Autumn didn’t disappoint me with this book.”
Protecting a helpless stranger could be my redemption, or my biggest mistake.
Brett
I’m not a hero.
I’m a single dad who’s lost his way. I’ve finally put the never ending-parties on hold, trading drugs for bedtime stories, alcohol for girlie tea parties and pleasure for pain.
These days my daughter is the only priority, not the woman who showed up out of nowhere, claiming to be family.
Raen Cartier begged for my help––a stunning contradiction of beauty scarred by torture.
Saving her could be the worst mistake of my life or the only way to find peace.
Raen
He’s my only hope.
My sister was murdered. I was stolen. There isn’t a shred of my existence left in the world. Now, I’m in Dublin, begging a powerful stranger to rescue me. A man who flatly refuses to save the woman he’s never met before. The father to my niece.
Without the affluent Brett De Courcy’s help, my pitiful days are numbered.
I never expected him to trap me, or that I’d fall in love with the forbidden.

EXCERPT
“I…I didn’t want his hands.” She pauses, biting down hard on her lower lip. “I wanted yours.” “Do you think you deserve them after that?” I press my forehead against hers, her lips close enough for me to bite. She pauses for a split second then nods. “I told you I’d bring you here tonight to show you what happens when you disobey me. Now you’ve let someone else touch you, which is even worse.” My pulse throbs against my throat, adrenaline flooding my insides. So much control, lost in a goddamn hot second. These are my fucking rules, nobody else’s! My skin crawls with the knowledge that the curves of her body were just worshipped by another pair of hands. An overwhelming urge to go back into that room and strangle that guy takes hold, and the only thing that keeps me rooted to this spot is Heaven and her wide-eyed stare. “Nobody touches what’s mine. Do you understand that? I don’t fucking share…ever.” Her hands travel down the sides of my torso as she nods. “Okay.” “No wife of mine will ever disobey me,” I hiss. “Or there will be consequences.” “Are you going to punish me now?” she says in a sultry tone. “Because if you don’t, I have to warn you…I might keep being bad…”
