Title: Paying the Price

From Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Nicole James, comes a standalone, slow burn, age gap, boss love, steamy MC romance

Lizzy—

When did my life come to this?

Everything was going so right. I had a job I liked, a cute little house and a great marriage to my high school sweetheart. Matt was my everything—my firefighting hero—until tragedy struck. Now suddenly I’m a widow drowning in grief and about to lose everything.

One terrible day sent my whole world spinning.

If it wasn’t for my good friend, Kate I would have gone under. She pulled me out of my deep depression and found me a new job to take my mind off everything.

I’m thankful to her until I find out my new boss is the VP of the Royal Bastards MC.

Has she lost her frigging mind?

Darko—

When a son I didn’t know I had, is abruptly dropped in my lap, my whole world is upended. He’s a teenager, pissed at the world, and dealing with crushing grief. Suddenly I’m struggling to deal with him and my busy auto restoration business.

When I tell Utah I need someone to answer the phones and keep up with the paperwork, his ol’ lady delivers me her best friend.

I remember Lizzie. She was always the bubbly girlie-girl, so full of life. But that’s not the devastated, barely speaking woman who walks in my shop. Lizzie had the life she deserved. Now she’s destroyed. And on top of that, what does she know about working in a garage or dealing with a man like me—a member of the Royal Bastards MC?

Not to mention the fact that she’s half my age and distracting as hell.

How in the world does Kate expect us to help each other?

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5

Everything is wonderful in her life, until it isn’t. With one tragedy, her life has fallen apart and she’s in a dark hole. Her best friend is trying everything she can think of to bring her back, but until she’s ready, that hole will protect her.

He’s just found out that a one night stand created a life. Now he’s floundering trying to find his footing with a son he didn’t know he had and running his garage. His garage is struggling because he’s trying to focus more on his son and be the father he knows his son deserves, even if it his son is now a teenager, he can show him how special he is.

I enjoyed Darko and Lizzy’s story. It is full of tragedy, finding one’s way after life altering tragedy, and found family. These two were great together and the Durango, CO RBMC members are great to catch up with. I look forward to more in this chapter to come.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

I loved this second book in the Knoxville chapter.

Rocky and Birdie were great! I loved the story, how things unfolded, and the characters. The secrets revealed in the first book with Knox and Eliza show up in Rocky Top and Birdie will have to decide if she’s all in or if she wants to run and hide.

This book will bring changes to the Knoxville Chapter after the visit from Rocky’s blood brother, Villain from the Nashville Chapter. They’ll have to decide if they are willing to make changes and if so who’s side will they be on.

I loved this book and I can’t wait for more of this series with Morgan Jane Mitchell.

 MMF Dragon Shifters
 Stalking / Possessive Vibes
 Fated Mates
 Breeding Kink
 Sadist Alpha

I had given up hope of finding my fated mates until a gifted dragonblood showed me a vision of my future: an alpha, a beta, and a female bonded by dragon flames and fulfilling our role in preventing the extinction of the Blood Born.

The violet-eyed beauty I seek and follow from the shadows is everything I and my beastly nature long for. Although past trauma has destroyed Ashley’s desire for physical connection, an inner force drives her toward healing.

The man offering her the pain she needs to find pleasure is a human dominant who calls to my primitive instincts. Master Vanni makes my weak inner dragon yearn to submit.

But I kneel for no man.

I am of royal blood, born to rule, and my future was determined long before Ashley or Vanni drew their first breath.

When insecurities about my royal heritage arise, I begin to question everything Father promised me as a child.

Will I find peace with my beastly side and accept who we are? Or will indoctrination keep me from the arms of the two destined for me?

My Review: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 5 out of 5

Steamy, sexy, and wonderful!

Dolyn is a Royal Blood Born and is looking for his mates. He’s been searching for years, only to come up empty and alone. When he returns to his ex-lover, Elijah’s, home to find that he is mated to his own fated mates, Dolyn is hurt, confused, and still alone. When he gets a glimpse of what his life could be like with his own fated mates, he leaves in search of them. He knows where he can find the female, but the male, his beta, remains elusive.

It will take some time for these three to come together, work out their problems and find their HEA, but with love, patience, and some final words that come from the grave, it could happen.

This book was packed with steam, a stalker, and past trauma. I look forward to more in this series to come. It’s one of those books you hate to put down or see end, due to the steam and great characters.

🏍️ IT’S HOT AND IT’S HERE! 🔥 

Ride out with a brand new motorcycle club: The Kings of Anarchy Virginia…Property of Fire by E.C. Land is now live!!!
https://geni.us/PropertyofFire

One night and everything changed.

Fire

I have two rules in life. Don’t mess with my brothers. And don’t mess with my family. You cross them and you’ll find yourself buried six feet deep.

There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for my club. I’ve proven myself loyal to them ten times over.

The only struggle is staying away from the only girl I want. She’s off limits. She’s my Prez’s little sister. No one can touch her, and she doesn’t make it easy for me.

And to make matters worse, it’s me she comes to when with trouble on her heels. I can’t turn her away. Not when she needs me most.

I’ll have no choice but to bear the consequences of my actions, ‘cause she’s gonna be mine.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

She’s off limits to him and his brothers, but he’s watched her grow up and has been in her life forever. He’s also wanted her forever, but his loyalty is to his brother’s and his MC first. Until he’s put into a position of being her protector.

I loved this first book in the Virginia KOA MC. Fire and Evelin are wonderful characters and their story is great. There was sass from the start from Evelin and I loved it, however, her brattiness was almost too much. I understand her strength and her ability to protect herself, but she knows the MC will always be there to protect her, no matter what.

There were a lot of secrets being revealed, surprises showing up, and danger lurking, which I love in a book like this. E. C. Land did a great job with the start of the KOAMC Virginia chapter and I can’t wait to read more about these characters and learn more about them and their destinies. I look forward to Pyro’s book.

Title: Decoding Morse

How Amelia got her groove back, a reverse age gap, single mom military MC romance.

Levi (Morse) Cade is the eyes and ears for the Dead Presidents MC. He works, eats, and, some suspect, sleeps in the club’s surveillance room, protecting his chosen family of veterans and their dependents. When someone targets the widow he swore to protect, Morse must step out from behind the scenes or watch her die.

Amelia Hansen is busy running a non-profit and preparing her youngest child for college when a blast from the past shows up on a motorcycle to whisk her into protective custody, away from an unknown threat. He’s eight years her junior and off-limits, but watches her like she’s the code he’s been waiting his entire life to crack.

This sex-starved, forty-something single mom is in for the ride of her life.

Assuming the hitmen don’t get to her first.

The Dead Presidents MC is a brotherhood of military veterans formed to help vets reintegrate into civilian society. They’re the good guys… mostly. Complete, standalone HEA love stories. No cheating, no cliffhangers.

 

International bestselling author Harley Stone specializes in imperfect characters, realistic storylines, scorching hot sex scenes, and fun, witty dialogue. She’s always up for a good adventure (real or fictional), and when she’s not building imaginary worlds, she’s dipping her toes into reality in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and their five sons and two dogs.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

The awkward computer guy got his beautiful, sexy woman and he had to go outside his comfort zone to get her. However, he had to open up to her and show her that he was worthy of her and that his quirks were a good thing in the end.

I loved the characters in this series and this book. I loved how the characters have their own things they deal with on a daily basis and Harley Stone was able to write about them and did a great job in doing it.

She was supposed to be unreachable, someone he shouldn’t want, but the heart wants what the heart wants and now he has to face her and keep her safe.

I positively loved this book! This was my first book in the Dead President’s MC series, but I was not lost at all and I absolutely loved the book, the characters and the story. I can’t wait to go back and catch up to this story and the other member’s HEA stories.

Savage

I never wanted to be the president of the Lotus MC, but when my uncle dies, I have no choice, but to fill his shoes.

As if putting my club back in order isn’t enough, a Texas sized tornado blows into my life.

Bailey Watts.

She is my childhood best friend and the only woman I have ever truly loved. Time and distance has changed us though.

When danger finds its way to her life, I have a decision to make. Do I want to make good on the claim I put on her when I was seven years old or will I let her go for her own good?

Bailey

Taking a PI case for my best friend shouldn’t be so hard, but her brother is a slippery little weasel.

That’s how I find myself at the gate of the Lotus MC knowing there is only one man in this world that can help me.

Hayes Brown. 

I haven’t seen him since he broke my heart when I was seventeen years old, but the moment we are together again those old feelings come flooding in.

Things aren’t always as they seem. When my case becomes intertwined in his club, we find ourselves chasing ghosts while dealing with the fall out of past decisions.

Will Savage and Bailey find their way back to love or are they destined to crash and burn once more?

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

I loved Savage and Bailey’s story of a second chance. They needed that time apart to grow and become the person they were supposed to be. Their love was everlasting since they were so young when Hayes ‘Savage’ Brown met Bailey and declared her as his.

Life and time has been hard, but they are reunited now and Savage has to decide whether his claim on Bailey should be public and shared with his brothers in the Lotus MC. Bailey’s waited long enough and even though her intentions are not to get back with Savage, her heart knows he’s the only man for her.

I love the Savage MC characters and Savage and Bailey’s story was perfect. I can’t wait for more of the San Antonio Lotus MC books to come.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

Another great book by Lani Lynn Vale! The final book in the Semyonov Bratva, Always Salty. This is the story of Dima and Keely.

Dima, the younger brother of Shasha Semyonov has finally come home from his military service and is now working for his brother. He’s become a man that seeks information before just completing a job now, he wasn’t so particular when he was younger, but now it matters.

Keely, the sister of Dima’s brother in-law, Cutter, has drawn his attention. He first saw her when he was working a job, and he instantly found her intriguing. Now he’s obsessed with her.

I love this book and this series. I love how Ms. Vale works her stories to intertwine with other series and her other characters show up for a time in each series. She has a knack for writing a story that pulls you in and keeps you engrossed in the story as much as laughing at the antics some of the characters come up. I am a huge fan of the quotes, texts, thoughts, etc., that she has at the beginning of her chapters and I share some of them with my husband or kids. They’re always entertaining.

Although this was the last book of this series, I am looking forward to her next series coming soon, Content Warning. I always look forward to reading Ms. Vale’s books.

THE PREACHER (Detective Jason Smith #32) by Stewart Giles

From bestselling author: Stewart Giles comes another brilliant addition to the Detective Jason Smith.

The Preacher has spoken. The Preacher knows everything.

A teenage suicide leads Detective Sergeant Smith into a waking nightmare. The girl was his daughter’s best friend, and she had no reason to want to end her life.

A string of suicides follow, and all of them share a common denominator.

Some who calls himself The Preacher is playing God and Smith has no idea where to start looking.

The Preacher has his own delusional agenda, and the more Smith learns, the more he realises that he can’t stop this monster the old-fashioned way.

The Preacher is a predator with no conscience. There are no moral boundaries he won’t cross. This is a psychopath who will stop at nothing to fulfil his sick, twisted desires, and Smith realises he will have to forget everything he’s ever learned about detection if he wants to stop the most depraved murderer of his career.

Stewart Giles – Author Bio

After reading English at 3 Universities and graduating from none of them, I set off travelling around the world with my wife, Ann, finally settling in South Africa, where we still live.

In 2014 Ann dropped a rather large speaker on my head and I came up with the idea for a detective series. DS Jason Smith was born. Smith, the first in the series was finished a few months later.

3 years and 8 DS Smith books later, Joffe Books wondered if I would be interested in working with them. As a self-published author, I agreed. However, we decided on a new series – the DC Harriet Taylor: Cornwall series.

The Beekeeper was published and soon hit the number one spot in Australia. The second in the series, The Perfect Murder did just as well.

I continued to self-publish the Smith series and Unworthy hit the shelves in 2018 with amazing results.  I therefore made the decision to self-publish The Backpacker which is book 3 in the Detective Harriet Taylor series which was published in July 2018.

After The Backpacker I had an idea for a totally new start to a series – a collaboration between the Smith and Harriet thrillers and The Enigma was born. It brought together the broody, enigmatic Jason Smith and the more level-headed Harriet Taylor.

The Miranda trilogy is something totally different. A psychological thriller trilogy. It is a real departure from anything else I’ve written before.

The Detective Jason Smith series continues to grow. I also have another series featuring an Irish detective who relocated to Guernsey, the Detective Liam O’Reilly series. There are also 3 stand alone novels.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

These stories continue to get better, creepier, and darker by the book it seems, but I keep coming back because I just can’t get enough of DS Jason Smith or his colleagues. The criminals seem to get more deranged by each book and the danger to those Jason Smith cares most about seems to increase with each book as well.

DS Jason Smith has no idea the darkness or danger that is surrounding his team or the city. The deaths that have occurred seem to be random, but Jason knows better. He’ll keep digging until he finds the person responsible and puts them behind bars for good. It will take more than his detective mind to resolve this mystery.

I love these stories and the Detectives in the Jason Smith series. The books continue to pull me in from the beginning and hold on tight until the very end. Always hard to put down and walk away until it’s finished.
