She was an innocent that was used to get to a notorious group, but she had no clue what was going on or how she found herself wrapped up in the danger that was in. Now her life could be forfeit. Natasha Zolotova is young, naïve, and attracted to a man that her mother told her to stay away from, but she can’t help herself. Now she’s in danger because she was trying to make him jealous.

Dima is a member of the Chicago Bratva, and he is the Hacker for the group. These skills come in handy when he wants to spy on the beautiful young Natasha when she is coming and going from the Kremlin, the building they live in. He’s had his share of heartache and is not looking for love or a romantic connection, but his attraction to the beautiful woman is hard to deny. When he gives in to her pleas of being invited to a poker game, all of his desire and want for her is put on the back burner because now he’s looking at her in totally different light.

I loved this story. While it is tragic, it is also a great story of how people are perceived based on their actions and interactions. Dima and Natasha have a strong pull towards each other, but Dima’s ghosts and Natasha’s mistake could hurt them. When things get heated and the truth comes out, they will have to work on finding a level ground to see if they can be together. I love the characters and the storyline of this book. I have enjoyed the other books in this series and The Hacker did not disappoint. I can’t wait to read The Bookie. I give this book a 4-star review.

Such a great read!

Suspense, danger, death, deception, and twists and turns. This story starts with a normal day that turns into a nightmare. Not only for those involved but also for the small community it happens in. This was my first book in the Double Blind Murder Mystery Series, but I will be going back to read the other two as soon as I have time. I love a great murder mystery and suspense thriller story. Dan Alatorre always delivers on a great read. His characters are well developed and likable in his stories, except for the bad guys, of course. The suspense and mystery he writes in his stories draw me in from the first page. The first line generally informs that there is so much to reveal in the story that I can’t wait to get engrossed in the book. Third Degree did not disappoint me either. It drew me in from the first line and I was ready to find out what would happen and who would be the villain in the story. Of course, there is more to the story than just finding the villain, there is so much going on behind the scenes that made the story so much better to read. I give this book a 5-star review and will hopefully get to read the other two stories prior in the series soon, Double Blind and Primary Target.

Preacher and Blue are great characters, and it was great to read their story! They both live their lives on their terms.

Preacher is a man that has lived in his ways for years. He has his opinions on things going on in the world and may get picked on by his closest friends about it, but it doesn’t bother him. He looks at the world in a jaded view and has reasons for that. His life was rerouted when he was a teen and it jaded him. He never thought he’d find a partner after what he experienced at a young age, but when he meets Blue and gets to know her, he starts to see his future in a different light.

Blue has had her share of issues in her adult life, she’s been married and divorced and has a son. Her life growing up directed her thoughts on marriage and relationships, but Preacher wants to change that. Blue is determined to stay single and have some fun with Preacher, but when she finally realizes that what she feels for Preacher is more than lust, her life takes a new path. She just has to be sure that the danger surrounding her in the situation she’s in with the Time Served and Ares Infidels MC’s can be taken care of.

I love Preacher, he’s been a favorite character since the beginning of the series, and I was so happy to read his story. He’s set in his ways and he’s a conspiracy theorist, but that only makes him that much more interesting and lovable. I love the men and women in this series. I love the coven and the way that they take care of their men as much as the men take care of them. These books are action packed, sexy, funny, and a bit dark when the clubs take care of those that threaten their families, friends, and town. I love the way all of them come together to protect what is theirs and banter between the men and the women is always so entertaining. I love this series as well as the Ares Infidels I always look forward to the next book in both series. I think Cee Bowerman and Ciara St. James are doing a great job intertwining these two series and bringing great stories together. I give this book a 5-star review and I am looking forward to the next book.

This was a highly anticipated book for me in The Made Series. Denis and Zoe’s story has been part of all of the books so far, but this was their full story, and it did not disappoint.

Denis Gallagher is the Boss of the Irish mafia in Ireland and he’s a powerful man. He may not be the top ruler, but he’s next in line and has the power. His marriage is a sham but the only good part of it is the six kids he has. He loves them all and will do anything to protect all of them, even if it destroys his life.

Callie O’Hara is a businesswoman and is connected. She owns multiple bars in Ireland and is expanding to London. She’s beautiful, single, independent, smart, and has fought her way out of a bad relationship. She’s careful now about putting her heart out there, but when she see’s Denis for the first time, something makes her brain go haywire and she has no way of stopping what happens next, but the only problem is that Denis can break her like no one else would ever be able to.

I love The Made Series, it’s full of powerful, sexy, possessive and protective men. The best part about this series though is that the women are just as powerful, protective, sexy, and possessive. They can fight alongside their men and the don’t shy away what needs to be done to protect those they love. When Callie is faced with the truth of who Denis is, her heart is broken and she’s sure that nothing will ever be the same again. I loved Denis and Callie’s story. Denis deserves to have someone in his life that he can trust and have by his side, that will love not only him, but his kids too. Callie has a big heart and soft demeanor that has most people thinking that she’s weak, but when someone goes after her or her family the claws come out. This makes Callie a perfect fit for Denis. I am happy to finally read Denis’ story and for him to find the woman that was made for him. I love the characters in this series, and I am looking forward to Flynn’s story. I give this story a 5-star review and if possible, I would give it five more.

She’s broken, destroyed, and all alone now. Her brother did not come home from his last deployment. Now she’s lashing out at the people that have always been family by choice because she blames them for her brother not coming home and they all have their lives ahead of them.

They were engaged, they grew up together, and meant everything to each other, but when Chloe’s big brother didn’t come home from his last mission, his final mission, she broke and she blamed all of his friends, including his best friend and her fiancé, Ian.

Ian wouldn’t give up on Chloe, no matter what. He knew that they were meant to be together, he just had to figure out how to get Chloe through the devastation she’s going through. When things start to get back on track, more devastating news hits them and then trouble comes calling. The Birch Police and Fire and Rescue are a close-knit group and have each other’s backs, so even if Ian was not there to help Chloe, he knew that someone would. I have really been enjoying these books that are in small town Maine. The characters are all great, the men have protected and served in multiple capacities from their early adult lives, and they continue to serve and protect their town and their community. The women are strong, independent, and able to hole their own against their men. The men are protective and caring. They will do whatever they can for their women and their family, whether they are blood or chosen family. I love the series and I am hoping for more of this small town. I give this book a 5-star review.

Ajax noticed her the first day she started working in the bakery and he knew that he had found the woman that would complete him, just like his brothers that were in relationships. He just needed to convince her now. Ajax is on watch at the bakery pretty much every day so that he can keep an eye on Jess, but when the guys keep coming in and flirting with Jess, Ajax wants to blow a gasket.

Jess is so happy to get the baking job in the new bakery in town. Her life has been rough, and she needed to get away from the town she grew up in and the toxic women that her father brought into her life. She’s kind and oblivious of her effect on the men that come into the bakery. She has no idea the effect she has on men at any time, and when she’s told that Ajax is interested in her, she can’t figure out why.

I love the Archangels Warriors books and characters. The men are protective, loyal, sexy, and possessive. The women are strong, sexy, sassy, and independent. These women draw the men to them and then drive them crazy because the men realize that they cannot control the women. I love the men and women in all of the chapters, they are a huge family that protect their communities, women, and family. I love Ajax and Jess’ story. They dance around each other until Ajax proves to Jess that he is in it for the long haul. When her past comes back into her life, the turmoil of it causes trouble for Ajax and Jess and then she finds herself in trouble and needing protection but has no one to go to but the Archangels Warriors. I am anxiously waiting for more of these books as well as the other groups that Ciara includes in her books. I give this book a 5-star review.

Summer’s family has dwindled and she’s all alone, so she has to find a way to trust Eric and the syndicate to keep her alive and protect her. Trust does not come easy to Summer, so the battle will be interesting.

Both Eric and Summer have a hard time trusting and lowering their walls. After Eric gets to know Summer, he finds that his brain is starting to work against the thoughts of using her as bait to capture Robert. These two will fight a battle that they’ll both lose, there is no fight against your own heart. I love the Dark Syndicate series and Eric’s story was one I had been waiting for. He’s a broken man and Summer is a broken woman, but their pieces fit perfectly together. I loved the book and I love the characters in the series. The stories are action packed, tragic, steamy, and so good that I hate to have them end. I am looking forward to more in the Dark Syndicate series and I give this book a 5-star review.

Greaser has been through his share of heartache and betrayal. He’s angry and not in a very giving mood when a young girl shows up to the gate looking for someone. He’s ready to dish out some punishment when she tells him who she’s looking for because he doesn’t believe her and if she’s being honest, then the person she’s looking for isn’t who the Soulless Kings thought he was. Greaser hates liars and he will punish those that lie to him.

She has escaped a living nightmare and just wants to find her last living relative. She’s dirty, hungry, and bruised, but she’s determined to find her twin brother. He may not recognize her, but Trinity has to convince him who she is, or she’ll have to find another way to survive and stay hidden from those that want her back.

I really liked this story. I loved that the Soulless Kings took the situation into consideration when things come to light and don’t punish Trainwreck. I love the characters and the story was great. I loved that Greaser was able to see beyond the previous betrayal he went through to be kind and protective of Trinity when he discovers her pain and what she’s been through. The Soulless Kings are protective, loyal, and dangerous, so anyone that goes against them will pay in one way or another, whether it be the legal way or the illegal way. These men don’t mess around. I give this story a 5-star review and I am looking forward to more in the Soulless Kings MC series to come.
