⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5

Oh my! I love this book. The chemistry between Caleb and Honey is off the charts and they are great together.

Caleb Calley, a man who thinks he doesn’t have it in him to have a long-term relationship. He’s part of the Kings of Mayhem MC and his older brother, Cade is the VP. He’s recently broken up from his one semi-long-term relationship when she wanted more than he could give her. It didn’t end well.

Honey Scott is looking to forget her boyfriend of two years that she just caught cheating on her, but she’ll find out that Charlie was a bigger cheater than she expected. Her one-night stand with a hot guy that she picked up in a bar is hard to forget.

Caleb and Honey have a long way to go before they will find their happy life. The crazy things they have to go through only makes them that more entertaining to read. There are twists and turns that will keep you guessing who is doing what. I did not expect who was behind some of the crazy things. I loved the way their love story progressed, and I loved the last few chapters of this story. I was laughing out loud while reading it.

I give this book a 5-star review and recommend it to readers who enjoy a great MC story with some crazy women, women who have been conditioned to be cautious, and sexy MC men who worship the women that they fall in love with.

ARC Review of Desperation Kills by Bry Ann @AuthorBryAnn

unnamed (4)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5!!

Another great read of a Dark, Sexy, Sweet Killer.

Anatoli is a man who is doing what he has wanted to do since he was twelve years old. Now that he’s 33 years old, and after going through some trying times in the past year, he is confused as to what he wants to do. A man who has no issues with killing when he’s hired to, he’s headed for a change.

Adelyn “Addy” is a woman who has lived through hell as a child and is now doing what she’s meant to do. She works with Sam Prescott in her children’s home. She loves the children she works with and relates to them better than she does with adults. She’s shy, intense, and a bit awkward. She has a past that she feels that she has to atone for and secrets to keep.

Anatoli and Addy are as far from each other as you could find, or are they? Addy is shy and keeps to herself, while Anatoli is a killer and very confident in who he is. However, they both have childhoods that were far from normal. Addy is intimidated by Anatoli, but she also feels safe and something else when she is around him.

I loved this book and I love how Anatoli is so different with Addy. His soft side is beginning to come out and it just makes him a better character. Addy is able to find her strength and show it around Anatoli. Addy will have to put her mission in life on hold for a few months, but when she is able to continue, she will be so much stronger, and with Anatoli by her side, she will be unstoppable.

Thank you so much for the ending of this story, by the way. You made my day by the end of this story. I don’t know what will be next by Bry Ann, but I cannot wait to find out and read it. I give this story a 5-star review and highly recommend it to any reader who enjoys Dark, Alpha, sweet love stories. I devour all of Bry Ann’s books and look forward to her next book.

ARC Review of Martyris by Yolanda Olson

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5!!

Holy Wow!!! Not at all what I was expecting after reading the first two Cavalieri Della Morte books.

Gareth a man who is brutal in his job and has one weakness. He enjoys his tasks when he’s sent out on a job. His tools are as brutal as he is. He’s trying to figure out who his next mark is and he’s not having any success. 

The men of the Cavalieri Della Morte are tasked with doing Arthur Calthorpe’s bidding. When he tells them to eliminate a mark, they are not to ask why but just do it in the way that they complete their job. Gareth has only denied one hit from Arthur because he didn’t feel the reasoning was warranted and the man was a good friend.

This story was a bit different from the others that I’ve read so far, Brutally Beautiful, and Vow of Obedience. It is about the woman Gareth is in love with, but has twists and turns that will make you sit up and go, WHAT?? I liked it and found it to be very well written and the complete surprise ending. I give this book a 5-star review and recommend it to readers who like dark, twisted, and suspenseful stories.

Review of Wolf: A Bad Boy Military MC Romance, by Simone Scarlet @simonescarlet

Wolf

Jason “Wolf” Wulf is a man who is living in a small town in Colorado trying to keep his head down and not get into trouble. He’s retired from the Rangers and the Knuckleheads and now running his grandfather’s garage in small town Colorado. He lives a simple life with his German Shepherd Boomer and fixes the few cars that need it. He’s lived here for around a year and has attracted little attention. The one person that he has attracted is the lone female police officer, Deputy Stephanie Hanson.

Deputy Stephanie Hanson has wanted to be a police officer her entire life. She has accomplished that dream, but not everyone is happy with her being in the position. After a crazy break-up with her ex-boyfriend, almost fiancé, her popularity in town took a nose dive. She lived her dream in the small town, but it wasn’t exactly as she had hoped it would be.

Wolf’s past has shown up in town and danger is lurking. He has no clue about what is coming his way or why. Deputy Hanson started a land slide with her curiosity, and one little search caused the death of one man and the possibility of four of others. Will help show up in time to help these four out, or will their dreams for their futures come to an end in one day?

This book has political turmoil, suspense, and a sexy bad boy biker. It wasn’t as intense as El Leon, but the scene around the police station was pretty close. The characters were a mixture of intense and sometimes young. I give this story a 4-star review. If as a reader, you like bikers, retired military, and characters with heat, then you should pick up this book and read it. The Knuckleheads are bad boy bikers with honor for their country.

I loved this book and the characters were so great. They had that perfect amount of Alpha, sassy, caring, and funny. The story is suspenseful, has twists that you don’t see coming and keeps the pages turning. I love Hayley’s strength and her warm heart she is a woman who has hit bottom and realizes that she is bitter but doesn’t want to be. She wants to be free and light like her niece Tara. Warren has an exterior of a mean, grumpy, miserable person, but he has a huge heart and cares too much.

Review of Bad Boy Blues by Saffron A. Kent @GiveMeBooksPR and @thesaffronkent

Bad Boy Blues Available Now

A story of love, hate, bullying, and finding the power within oneself.

Cleopatra “Blue” Paige is a young woman who is trying to hold onto the past after she has been orphaned and left homeless. She is from the side of town that has had to work for what they have, and her parents did work hard. After her a tragic accident, she wants to get her home back that she grew up in with her loving parents. In order to do that though, she will have to work for the one person that made her life miserable in school. She is sentimental, strong, sassy, and a woman who stands up for others when they are being wronged. A childhood of being bullied has taught her to be compassionate towards those that need a champion in their life.

Zachariah Prince is the son of the founding family of Princetown, and he is also the one man who can destroy Blue’s dreams. He comes from a rich family that has many secrets, and they own the town. He didn’t have a loving childhood like Blue did, and he took out his frustration and hatred towards those who hurt him on Blue, making her life miserable. His friends at school were all rich just like his family and they treated anyone from the wrong side of town as though they were lower than the dirt they walked on.

This story hits a lot of tough subjects that kids go through in life, and it shows how someone who is humiliated, bullied, and treated with disrespect is actually the stronger person as well as the person who holds the power. The power they hold is the ability to move past the bullying, disrespect and humiliation and be the person they are meant to be. These characters have to find their way to the right side of life and being the person they were meant to be. These two find that with each other and they have a beautiful story.

I give this story a 4.5-star review and highly recommend it to any reader who enjoys stories with strong characters who find their way in life, young love, and the power to move on from the life that has brought you down.

This is a story of revenge, retribution, and redemption. Full of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end. I loved the way that the story kept pulling me further and further in. It took me a few pages to get into it, but once I did and focused on the book it was hard to put down. Nothing was as it seemed in this book as I got further into it.

I give this story 4.5-star review and highly recommend it to anyone who likes books with a twist, is full of characters looking for their fortunes and will risk their lives to get it in some cases. If you like crime, police procedural, financial thrillers, and a story that will keep you wondering what will happen next, I suggest you go out and grab this book.

Review: Mine to Protect by Kennedy L. Mitchell @GiveMeBooksPR and @KLMBooks

Mine to Protect Teaser 2

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5

Two people who believe they are better off alone find each other and decide to be alone together.

Alta Johnson is a Police for the Estes Park in Colorado. She works to protect the guests of the parks as well as protect the animals in the park and forests from poachers or any other harm that could come to them. After surviving a terrible attach ten years prior, Alta has withdrawn from the public, and stays to the forest. Her best friend is her service dog Benny. Alta lives in a world or paranoia and has ticks to keep her safe and sane.

Cas Matthews is a retired Marine who works as a United States Park Police officer. He holds both federal and state jurisdiction across the country, this unit is tasked with protecting the national monuments, the president, and his visiting dignitaries. He is highly trained as a Marine, but he is also highly trained for this position, which makes him a lethal man. His PTSD from his childhood and his deployments make him even more lethal. There are times he is barely able to control his actions.

Chandler Peters is an FBI profiler who served a couple of tours with Cas and has called him in for help on a serial case. They will partner up and go from Washington DC to Colorado to investigate a serial case that is plaguing Estes Park. These two act like brothers when they are relaxing, but when they are working the case, they are both focused and dangerous men to have to face.

I really enjoyed this story and the characters were awesome. The story has twists, suspense, lust, jealousy, weirdness, and danger. The characters are so real and enjoyable to read. I would love to see a book for Chandler. The tension between John, Alta’s boss, and Cas in entertaining to read. I liked how it ended though. It showed the true character of Cas as well as John, it showed that Alta was right about Cas.

I give this story a 5-star review and highly recommend it to readers who enjoy suspense, Alpha men who take charge, women who show their strength, and crime stories. This was my first read of a Kennedy L. Mitchell story, but I look forward to more in my future.
