Review of The Girl in the Mist: A Misted Pines Novel by Kristen Ashley @KristenAshley68 @jennw23

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 5 out of 5

Wow! This book was not what I was expecting. I was expecting a Thriller/Suspense, which is what I got, but I was not ready for Cade Bohannan or his boys, Jason, and Jesse, or his daughter Celeste. Delphine Larue was a great surprise as well. Celeste was a sweet girl that was in need of a woman to treat her like someone that was wanted and happy to have her around.

I loved these characters and the story. This was my first read by Kristen Ashley, and I was a little disappointed in the beginning because it was a slow start, but once it got going it was a fantastic read. I loved the slow burn, even if it did frustrate me at first. I loved the connection with the Bohannan family had with Delphine Larue. The main characters were fantastic, and the side characters were just as entertaining and enjoyable to read.

I love a suspense story that keeps me guessing through the book until the suspect is revealed. It makes for a much better read and Kristen Ashley accomplished that with The Girl in the Mist. I would love to read more about the characters in Misted Pines, especially Megan and Kimmy. These characters were endearing and entertaining. I give this story a 5-star review and will be watching for more books, to hopefully come out in the near future of the Misted Pines characters

TRAILER




EXCERPT

Brenna POV-

“Don’t look now, but the guy in the dark corner wants to sample you for every meal.”

I freeze. “What are you talking about? Where?”

“Don’t look. At the end of the bar, toward the door.”

I spin in my chair, and my heart skips several beats. Butterflies spread their wings and take off inside me, making my head spin.

“I said not to look!” Kim shrieks. I ignore her, unable to comprehend anything. Standing against the wall, intensely pinning his gaze on me, is a tall, built man. His T-shirt stretches across his chest in perfection, taunting the world with his ripped flesh. He has a chiseled face, and unlike Brad’s clean-cut, country-club, frat-boy appearance, this man has a dangerous flair. Tattoos travel down his arm. One peeks out of his T-shirt, as if the artist took a brush and dragged the strokes to the middle of his neck.

Another good-looking man approaches him and hands him a drink. He takes it, keeps his eyes on mine, says nothing to his friend, and comes toward me.

Every step he takes makes it harder for me to breathe. By the time he gets to our table, I’m holding in the oxygen, and my heart races. The air around me becomes so electric, my skin buzzes. No one else seems to exist except us.

His lips slightly curl. He places his hand on the back of the chair next to me. The sexiest voice I’ve ever heard asks, “Lass, is this seat taken?”

MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

He’s waited 20 years to hold her again and he won’t let anything, or anyone get in his way. He’s a hunter by nature and after they are separated due to circumstances beyond their control, he won’t rest until he finds her again and keeps her safe.

Finn O’Malley was a man that worked in the family business doing as he was told and trained to do. He had girlfriends, but nothing very serious. While he’s out one night with his best friend Maxim Ivanov, he sees a beautiful girl that he can’t seem to ignore. He knows she’s too good for him, but the attraction and pull are too strong to ignore. When tragedy strikes for these two they will be separated for 20 years both not knowing what happened to the other, but that doesn’t mean that their love has died. It seems to remain as strong as ever even after all that they’ve been through.

Brenna Doyle has just said no to the proposal from a man she’s dated for 6 months. She knew that it was not working out, but for some reason he didn’t see it or acknowledge that their relationship was one sided. To celebrate being single again, Brenna and her roommate go out to a fairly new club in town. However, Brenna is not ready for the man that comes over to introduce himself. When she finds out who he is she takes a step back but the pull to him is too strong and their life becomes complete when she finally gives in and seeks him out.

I loved this conclusion to The O’Malley Family (Mafia Wars series). Brenna and Finn had to go through so much to finally get their HEA, but their love never wavered. They had a strong connection and no matter what got in their way their love persevered. Tragedy, betrayal, and danger lurked everywhere for these two, but they finally got their HEA. I loved the entire series, and Finn and Brenna’s story was a great anticipated read and a great way to end the Chicago Mafia Wars series. I give this book a 5-star review and I can’t wait for the New York Mafia books to come out. Toxic looks to be a great read as well.

Review of Spiral Into Chaos (RBMC, Elizabeth City NC, Book 1) by E. C. Land #RoyalBastardsMC Elizabeth City, NC Chapter

I enjoyed this story of Bane and Demi. They had a complicated relationship, but when it came down to the nitty gritty, they found their way to each other. Their fight against their attraction led Demi to believe that Bane didn’t feel the same as her, but when he showed her that he chose her, she shied away from him, until tragedy struck at the compound and then all bets were off.

I liked the back and forth between these two. Demi is a woman that is not afraid to stand up for what she wants and she does not hold back when has something to say. They had an immediate attraction, but their stubbornness got the best of them. When tragedy struck they had to detour and now they’re looking at a completely new path. I look forward to reading more about this MC and their adventures in the future. It looks to be a great read.

Bane

When she was shot, I knew what I needed to do.

It was months ago and I’m still seeking revenge for Emery. I don’t know why I am in the first place. She’s arrogant, sassy, and always thinks she’s right. Everything about her aggravates me, even the fact she’s doing a job I think only men should.

Yet, why the hell do I even give a damn about her? 

I’m still trying to figure out the answer, but I know I want her, even if I can’t stand her. Watching her blood spill on the ground was unlike any other shooting I’ve witnessed.

I’ll find the people responsible for this, one way or another.

Sex and Candy (Royal Bastards MC) by Shannon Youngblood @EroticXecutionR #RoyalBastardsMC Detroit, MI Chapter

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

It’s raw, gritty, and tragic, and it left me wanting more of these characters. I need to know what’s in store for them next. I loved the story, but it was not at all what I was expecting. The characters are sexy, dangerous, and damaged.

I was on the edge of my seat for most of the story waiting to see where the danger would come from next. I love the RBMC books and Sex and Candy did not disappoint. I am ready for more of the Detroit, MI Chapter. I hope these guys get their revenge and their HEA.

Review of RAVEN: RBMC, Portland, OR Chapter, Book 2 BY K. L. Savage @klsavage_author @GiveMeBooksPR

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

He’s determined to find the man that put Delilah, his brother, Thrasher’s ol’ lady, in danger and has her terrified that he will come back for her, since she is the only victim to have escaped him. Raven is a man on a mission, the serial killer wreaking havoc reminds Raven of his past and the tragedy he survived with the help and protection of the RBMC that found him and took care of the man that took Raven’s sister from him. When the club decides to head to Las Vegas for Christmas, Raven chooses to stay behind because he is consumed with finding the serial killer and ending his terror.

She thought that she had found someone that cared about her, little did she know that the man that asked her out had ulterior motives. Now she’s escaped the horrors that he has wreaked on her and others, but is she safe? When Serena is run over by a man in the grocery story with a shopping cart, she finds herself drawn to the man and flirting with him. He could be her savior. When she finds herself in danger and tries to get away, she takes a fall and loses her memory. When she wakes up, she has no idea where she is, who she is, or how she got hurt.

I really liked this story of Raven and Serena’s story. These two are an unlikely pair, but the attraction between them can’t be denied. They dance around each other for a while, but when they do connect, the steam and attraction is off the charts, and they can no longer deny their feelings. I love the gruffness of Raven, but his softness finds its way to the surface with Serena, and he is kind and gentle with her. I love the Portland RBMC chapter and the characters within it. The closeness these guys share is great, they’re a family by choice, not by blood. I love K.L. Savage’s stories and her characters, there is always darkness, but there is also love, humor, and well-rounded characters. I did have some questions from this book that weren’t answered, but I am hoping that they will be soon. I give this story a 4.5-star review and look forward to more books by K.L. Savage in the near future.

Review of Four Horsemen (A Good Run of Bad Luck #5) by Giulia Lagomarsino @crzybookladyluv @EJBookPromos

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

A second chance at love for a man who thought he lost everything. The only thing keeping him going is his young son. Will he ever get over his loss? His deputy and friend, Carter thinks it’s time for Jack to find a woman, if not for a permanent relationship at least for some fun. Jack it just starting to find his way back to his regular life and repair his friendship with Josh, but is he ready to move on in other ways?

Christy has been through a tragic ordeal and is looking to move back home to her small town where she grew up. She left for Chicago when she realized that the man she had been in love with found someone else. Christy thought there was more between them, but she realized it was all one sided, or was it? Was Jack just fighting his feelings because he was afraid to lose his best friend?

I am so in love with Giulia Lagomarsino’s books! Her stories are always full of fun, tragedy, love, sexy men and sassy women. Every book I’ve by her has been such a great read. Her characters always have so much depth to them and the stories are always so fun to read. There are parts that brings tears to my eyes, but the books always leave a lasting impression on me, and I can’t seem to get enough of her stories. Jack’s story was a long time coming, but it definitely did not disappoint. I have been wanting to read this story for some time and I am so happy with the result. The characters are always so entertaining and enjoyable to read. The stories are heartfelt and fun, but they have a bit of everything. If you are looking for a series of books that will have you waiting anxiously for the next story to come out, you need to pick up Giulia Lagomarsino’s books. I loved Jack and Christy’s story and I am anxious for the next one, I give this story a 5-star review and if I could, I would give it more.

Review of Ride or Die: Kings of Vengeance Book 8 by Winter Travers @wintertravers @EJBookPromos

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 out of 5

He was a man that always seemed to be on the outside looking in. He’s finally found an MC where he feels comfortable and that they could be his family, but his blood family has made it impossible for Core to relax and enjoy his life or make a place for himself. He’s betrayed the Kings of Vengeance and has put a target on his back, but he’s doing it for a good reason.

She’s the bartender and friends with one of the ol’ ladies of the Kings of Vengeance. She’s pulled into their craziness by association. When she finds out that one of the brothers has betrayed the MC and now has a target on his back, she torn because she likes him, but she’s loyal to her friend and wants nothing to do with being the in middle of trouble. Robyn wants to remain loyal to Lynn, but she gets pulled into Core’s world more and more because now she has real feelings for him.

This is book 8 in the Kings of Vengeance and these bikers are dangerous, but their women drive them crazy with their book club and their craziness and their sassy mouths. When Robyn is put in the middle of her friends and the man that she wants, she has to make a decision and pray that it doesn’t come back to bite her in the end. When the danger comes knocking, Robyn does not run away, she stands by the man that is becoming very important to her and she won’t back down when she tries to get the Kings to listen to him before they shoot him. I really enjoyed this book and Core and Robyn’s story. Core has been in the series since the beginning and has been a character that has been iffy since the beginning, but learning his story brings perspective to him and I really enjoyed reading about him finally finding his path and his place in the club. I give the book a 4-star review and I am looking forward to more of the Kings of Vengeance Series to come.

Review of Captain: Time Served MC, Book 5 (Tenillo Guardians TSMC) by Cee Bowerman @CeeBowerman

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

I loved this story of Auggie “Captain” Brass finding his family. He is a man that is set with his new house, his life in the Time Served MC, and his law practice. Now he needs to bring on some help and the new hire is a woman that has her own agenda with seeking a job with him. However, it’s not all bad. She is beautiful and comes as a package deal.

Captain and Matalie are a great duo working to help those that were incarcerated when they shouldn’t have been and finding a path to their HEA. I loved the book and all the secrets revealed in it. I can’t wait for more of the Time Served MC and Ares Infidels MC to come. The men and women in these books always have me laughing, stressing, and loving every page I read.

Review of Capone’s Wild Thing (Dublin Falls’ Archangel’s Warriors MC, Book #14) by Ciara St. James

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

Capone is surprised by the woman that he meets at the new gym, a new venture that the MC has gone into. Mackenzie Matthews “Mac” is a woman that is doing her best to keep her brother on the right path and a roof over both of their heads. When the MC takes over the local gym, her lively hood is in jeopardy, all because Capone doesn’t like the way that she is treated at the gym by a few customers, but one in particular.

Capone is just like his brothers in the MC, when that one woman comes into his life even by accident, and knocks him on his keester, he is lost and will do anything to make her his and keep her safe and sound. The only problem is that these men keep falling for independent, strong women that will fight them tooth and nail to keep that independence. Mac is no different. She’s been on her own too long to let any man take over and dictate to her what she can do and where she can go.

This story was just as great as the other books in this series. I love the characters! The men are sexy, possessive, and loyal and the women are strong, independent, sexy and fighters. Once these couples figure out the path to lead them to their HEA, nothing can stop them. Capone and Mac are no different. Once Mac realizes that Capone is truly invested, she gives in, but not after several fights and blow ups. I love this series, the characters are great, and the stories are always full of action, suspense, and great plots. I look forward to more of the Archangel’s Warriors MC and their allies’ stories. I give this story a 5-star review. I am always up for a book written by Ciara St. James. Her characters stay with me for a long time after reading her books.
