Boris Ivanov is a man with secrets and darkness within. The only light in his life is his best friends’ little sister, but she’s off limits, until she’s not. He’s a Russian killer and a fighter.

Nora O’Malley comes from a long line of Irish mafia and is the little sister of Boris Ivano’s best friend Killian O’Malley. She’s been in love with Boris since she was a young girl, and those feelings just keep growing stronger.

I love the characters that Maggie Cole writes. They are always strong, sexy, lethal, protective and fun to read. The women are strong and sassy, but the men let them do as they wish and stand beside them and have their backs all the time. The Mafia Wars series is increasingly becoming one of my favorite series with wonderful characters. In Broken Fighter the stakes have gotten higher for the Ivanov brothers, but with the O’Malley’s in their corner they might be able to get out from under the Zamir’s thumb. The Ivanov’s may not be a mafia family, but they are ruthless and lethal just the same. I give this book a 5-star review and cannot wait to read Cruel Enforcer and the rest of the Mafia Wars Series books. I love the women as much as I love the men in this series. They are just as protective of their men and family as the men are of them.

Maddox “Mad Dog” Santos was honorably discharged from the Navy, now he runs his own tattoo shop in his old neighborhood. He had a rough time growing up. Now only the gangs in his neighborhood, but his home life wasn’t exactly great. He’s the oldest of five kids and chose to go into the Navy rather than the Marines like his father. The woman that has held his heart since they were teens is off limits and his heart hasn’t gotten the memo yet.

Celeste Flores is the daughter of the Cartel boss and she’s following in his footsteps. She grew up with Maddox Santos and has known him since she was eight years old, when comforted her after her mother’s death. Now she’s a grown woman and still as beautiful as Maddox remembers.

I enjoyed this book but found it to be a little slow to start. Once I got past the first few chapters, it became very interesting, action packed, and very steamy. The connection between Leo, Celeste and Maddox is explosive. This book was twisted and dark, but it was a great story. The characters are great and interesting to read. I give this book a 4-star review and I am looking forward to the next books in the series. This book went full throttle after it got going but there also has so much more to cover with the Santos family. If you like mafia, cartel, and gang stories and sexy characters that have secrets, you’ll enjoy this story.

He’s the IT, tech guy and nerd of The Houston Defiance MC, but he’s also the long-time best friend of Zero, the club president. Asher “Neon” is a smart man that has had to balance his loyalty between his club and his real family, specifically his sister. He’s fiercely loyal, smart and determined but when he runs into the beauty that he ran into, literally a few years ago, at the race track his life is tilted on its axis and nothing will be the same again.

Nicolette Oakley, or as she’s well known on the racing circuit, Oakley is the daughter and heir apparent of the Oakley racing family. She’s made a name for herself in the male dominated world and has the stats to prove she’s as good as her father and grandfather. She races in the Pro Stock Motorcycle circuit and she’s GOOD. When she finds herself in a bad situation, she caused for herself, she realizes that she may not come back from her poor judgement this time, but maybe with the help of Neon and his club she can survive. She just has to put her trust in someone she’s just met and find a way to convince him that she’s loyal to him. This could get sticky.

I loved this fourth book in The Houston Defiance MC Series. The book is full of action, danger, sexy bikers, and strong, sexy women. With Oakley being a woman in the racing circuit, the book has a powerful message of how women can persevere and be just as good, strong and powerful as men when they focus and put their minds to it. I love Oakley’s loyalty to her family but her changed loyalty, or should I say encompassed loyalty to The Houston Defiance MC is just as powerful. After her past experience with Rage and his MC, she could have dissed the Defiance MC and been just ruthless with them, but after spending time with them and seeing that they were a different club she was able to see that her loyalty was not falsely placed. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to more of The Houston Defiance MC Series to come. I love the stories that Ms. Osborn writes, and her characters are always awesome and well written.

Kye “Sin” Korbyn is a retired Navy SEAL that is now the president of the Ares Infidels MC in Tenillo, Texas. He and his buddies, all retired military have their compound on his family’s property. They’re working with the Time Served MC to clean up their town.

Lyric Marsh is a schoolteacher at the local high school and notices some major differences in her students and some strange happenings and wants to get to the bottom of what is happening. She has no idea who she can go to for help, but her best friend and fellow teacher convinces her to go the Ares Infidels and speak to Sin. What a disaster that turned into.

I am so in love with this series already. The characters are awesome, and the connection to the Time Served MC series is great. I love how the characters are all so close and work together to clean up their town and the camaraderie between the two MC’s. The men are protective, caring and very Alpha, and the women are strong, sassy, funny and keep the men on their toes. The men may be Alpha, but the let the women be themselves and that is very sexy. I love the strength these women find within when the men stand beside them and have their backs. If you are looking for a new series and enjoy strong women and Alpha men, MC stories, and a story with a mixture of danger, sexy, and comic relief, you will love this series. Sin’s Enticement is a great start to a great series. I give it a 5-star review and cannot wait for the next book in the series.

Someone’s out to kill Mitzy, the manager of Skinz, the strip joint owned by the Royal Bastards MC of Sacramento. Since Monk is the acting President currently, he’s determined to find out who wants her gone and since he already has feelings for her, she won’t step aside until he finds the person or people responsible for the threat on her life and eliminate them. She has a few close calls, and each time Monk is there to make sure she’s alright.

Mitzy’s a tough cookie to crack but Monk is not the type of guy to walk away and give up when he knows what he wants. He just wishes he could get through to Mitzy and break that wall down around her heart. When these two let their guard down around each other and plot to work together to get back at Memphis and Raelyn for trying to scare Monk, the heat begins to steam up the pages. I loved this story as much as I have others that I’ve read by Winter Traverse, her characters are strong, loyal, funny and entertaining in so many ways. The Royal Bastards are a powerful force and anyone going against them or one of their own will bring out the demon in them. This situation could also bring someone back that they’ve been missing. I loved it and give it a 5-star review. I look forward to more of Ms. Traverse’s books as well as more of the Royal Bastards MC books. They all make great reading.

Archer Tactical is a business run by three brothers. The provide self-defense classes as well as firearm training, their clientele include women looking for self-defense training and police officers, S.W.A.T teams looking for training as well as others in security businesses. The brothers took over the business from their father after he retired.

Remi Archer is the oldest and runs the business alongside his brothers.  He does a lot of the self-defense classes while his brothers do a lot of the tactical and firearm training. When Kaia Banks walks into Archer Tactical looking for some one-on-one training, Remi goes against policy and agrees to the training with her. He’s rendered speechless when she first meets the brothers, but his work with her over the next few weeks proves to be more than what they each planned on.

Kaia Banks is a DJ and living her dream in CA. She left her small-town home in Wyoming to find peace and fulfill her dream of working in the music industry. She’s good at what she does and is well known at Club Infinite, in Poppy Valley, California. She has her dream job and after the childhood she had, she’s determined to never live that life again.

I loved this first story in the Archer Tactical Series. Remi and Kaia are great characters that were wonderful to get to know. I love the characters in this book, and I look forward to reading more in the series. The Archer boys are Alpha males that take care of those they care about, they’re kind, sweet, and determined to protect those in trouble. Remi and Kaia’s romance was quick and beautiful. They have a strong connection and Remi’s love for Kaia brings out her strength. I give this book a 5-star review. It’s a page turner. This was my first read of an A. K. Evans book, I like her stories and her characters, and I look forward to reading more of her books.

This story wrecked me. It was emotional, beautiful and heartbreaking but I loved it.

Beckett Larrabee is the younger brother of Cade, he along with Cade, and Jace run a business named Controlled Bikes, he’s the detailer of the business and that has led him to do specialty paint jobs outside of bikes because his detailing and painting are so good. At twenty-nine years old, he’s ready to find his better half and start a life the same as his brother their friend Jace has. He’s ready for more in his life than the business and his painting.

Royal Sullivan has had a life of medical procedures. Born into a family that is well off, she’s rarely felt any love or caring from her parents. She was born for one reason and when she reaches the age of twenty, she’s ready to be done with it. She hasn’t lived her life, but she’s more than ready to grab onto what she can now and live it. This is a beautiful story of love and sacrifice. Royal wants to be loved and treated as though she means something to someone, and Beckett wants to love and be loved. He wants to share his life with someone that he can be happy with. When these two meet after watching each other from a distance for a while, they have no idea that they are about to change each other’s worlds and taking a chance on each could be dangerous, but in the long run it could be the best thing ever to happen. I cried and smiled while reading this story, but mostly, my heart was aching for Royal and her sister. These two never go to have the bond that they should have had because their parents were too blind to see what could have been for them. I give this story a 4-star review and warn you that if you read this story, have tissues handy, but it is so worth the heartache you will endure. The characters are wonderful, caring, loving, and supportive each other and they bring so much to each other’s lives.

Altin is the middle son of the Tirana family boys and should not be the next in line as the leader of the family, but since his older brother, Llir, took off and their father agreed to let him live his life away from the family, Altin stepped up to take his spot. The trouble is that he doesn’t want to lead any more than his brother did. When he learns a secret, he may have found a way to get out of the family business like his older brother, the only thing he has to make sure that his younger brother is part of his deal and plan. He doesn’t want him to be forced to take the position either. He is not expecting things to go the way they do. He has to improvise along the way.

Blake Reid is a woman with a hidden past and revenge on her mind. When she meets Altin Tirana, she is not ready for the turmoil, speed, or changes he will bring to her life. She’ll have to rethink her life and where it will go from this point on. Can she keep her secret and stay alive, or will her secret come out and her past get her killed?

I enjoyed this second book in the Tirana Brothers Trilogy. I liked the characters and the story. The suspense of what would happen along the path of Altin and Blake’s story kept the pages turning. I am anxious for the rest of the story and what will happen next. These characters have a lot to deal with in order to have the life they want. Blake has a lot of baggage, but then so do the Tirana brothers. They have had to live a life of looking over their shoulder and only have trust in each other. Like Blake said, “That’s no way to live”. I give this story a 4-star review and I am looking forward to the next book and Veton’s story.

Ciara has done it again, she’s written another strong, sexy, tough woman that can stand up for herself and stand right beside her man all the time.

Smoke has met his match and she’s just as smart and deadly as he is.

Everly has a hidden identity that could get her killed if she’s discovered. Her job puts her in many situations where she knows a lot of clandestine people and information, and her brilliant mind has her in many circles that are dangerous. She’s smart, beautiful and just as sassy and strong willed as the other women of the Archangel’s Warriors.

Smoke is a brilliant man that has a secret identity as well. When he first met Everly he was warry of her and didn’t believe she was who she said she was, but her identity was proved along with her talents. He is confused by his reaction to her but when he figures out that she is his other half, there’s no stopping him in his endeavor to make her his.

I love Everly and her smarts, strength and badassery are perfect to match Smoke. They both have brilliant minds, and they are stronger together in their computer skills. I love the Archangel Warriors and Smoke and Everly’s story was just as entertaining, steamy and action packed as the others. The characters are always fun to read, and the stories always keep my mind running overtime. The women that land the Archangel Warriors are women that know their worth and won’t let the men get away with anything, nor will they sit down and let the men walk all over them. They match them in their minds, power, strength, and passion for their relationships and the women let the men know when they are crossing a line. It may take a little bit for their man to figure out they need to step back and give their woman the room she needs to be herself, but they eventually get it, and they make a powerful couple, each one of them. I love these books and look forward to more of the Archangel Warriors, all chapters. I give this book a 5-star review and suggest it to readers that love a strong match, MC romance, and a lot of action included.
