Jackie and Oliver have had an on again off again relationship for years. Few know her past or where she comes from, Oliver is one of those that does. Jackie loves Oliver, but something is missing. She’s confused and when her past comes back and she’s in danger her life becomes clearer, and her eyes are opened.

This series has great characters, and the story line is interesting. The characters are powerful, dark and loyal to each other. They don’t worry too much about others around them outside of their circle, but those in their circle are tight and will do anything for each other. When the break comes from within the group, things can get pretty rough for everyone. Jack has to make the guys see that they need to step up to the plate this time. I enjoyed Jack and Oliver’s story, but it was a tough read. Oliver’s heartbreak is heart wrenching. All the employees of B.A.D Inc., have had a rough childhood and they are a family of choice. The story of Jack’s childhood is a rough one, but the fact that she found these guys and they formed their own family is great. I give this story a 4-star review and recommend it along with the other books in the series to readers that like strong, sassy, powerful women that can hold their own with the men that run a large corporation and in fact tells them what to do most of the time.

Micah has to prove himself to the Ravage MC members now that he’s back from his tour in the Marines. He has to show them that he has grown up and is no longer the mouthy boy that left after causing so much trouble for the MC. He’s grown into a man and has grown as a person. He has also just learned that he left more than his MC family behind when went overseas.

Ensley has had to survive since she left her family and went on the run. She and her sister Katie are now living the life they’ve chosen rather than the life they were told to live. The only trouble is that the danger they left has followed them and not only are Katie, Ensley, and Remy in danger, but the Ravage MC has taken a hit as well. Luckily for Austyn, Micah is a grown man and his training kicked in when he needed it the most.

I really enjoyed this story of Micah and Ensley’s second chance to find happiness and grow together. Ensley has some hurdles to overcome from her past, but so does Micah. Remy is such a cutie and full of life how could you not love her? The Ravage MC has to find a way to push past the hurt and betrayal from Micah and ask for his help to figure out who targeted Austyn’s home and they will need to work together to keep Ensley, Katie and Remy safe as well. I love the characters and the story in this book and series. I love that the MC has the top-of-the-line equipment and then find out that Micah has some better toys that they can use. It is a sweet story but has danger and destruction as well. I give the book a 4-star review and recommend it to readers that enjoy MC romance with dysfunctional families that fight but also have each other’s backs when needed. I look forward to reading more of the series and hope that Katie has her story too.

I’m not sure how, but each book seems to get better than the last. Yet, each book has been some of the best I’ve read in a series. I love the way these books are written with each character having their own book running parallel to the others, but while each book is about the path that the characters take to get their rescued partner to safety, each path has their own obstacles and situations to deal with. Each one has a deadly path no matter how you look at it. These books are full of action, danger, passion and loyalty from these men and strong women that hold a lot of secrets. It’s a series about corrupt politicians, powerful players, and the pawns in their power plays. I’ve loved each and every book in this series so far and I am so excited for the final book Risks of Temptation.

Axel and Penelope have an added obstacle in their path to freedom and safety, they have to find Millie, Penelope’s daughter that was taken from her several months after her abduction. With Penelope being the first woman to have been taken, she was with Santiago the longest and while I expected her time with Santiago to have been more brutal physically than it was, she endured a great pain and heartbreak when her daughter was taken from her and used as leverage over her.

Axel has promised Penelope to find Millie and bring her to safety but at what cost? He has to find a way to fulfill his promise, but his heart is breaking with each turn that he takes, and he isn’t sure that he can fulfill his promise to Penelope. The strength that these women have is amazing. They hold so much inside to protect other that it’s hard to believe they can still be as strong as they are to keep going to find safety and then to keep working with the men that rescued them to make sure that the powers that be don’t succeed in their path to rule. I am anxious to read the final book in the series but on the other hand, I am not excited for this series to end. It’s been a wild and wonderful ride in South America and these couples deserve their HEA, but I hate to see it end. I am anxious to read Malin and Emilia’s story though. I give this story a 5-star review and highly recommend this book and series to readers that are looking for something along the lines of espionage, secret dealings, and strong women that can take down some of the most powerful men in the world.

Thrasher and Delilah’s story is a forbidden union, but Thrasher doesn’t care. He knows that Delilah is for him and he will go to any length to make her his. He doesn’t care if she is the sister of the President of the Ruthless Kings MC and a friend, Reaper. He may have gone to Las Vegas to ask Reaper for the repayment of the favor from years ago.

Delilah is Reaper’s younger sister and a woman that has been through her own tragic days. Now she’s quiet and reserved. However, her strength and sassiness come out when she’s around Thrasher because he makes her blood boil when he’s nearby. In more ways than one.

I loved this story of an ex-soldier and a quiet, scared girl that both find their strength and the one that can repair their hearts and help them to heal. The Royal Bastards of Portland, Oregon have a beautiful compound and they support their community. Portland could be a new start for Delilah, but it could put her in more danger than they are aware of. She’s going nuts being kept under Reaper’s care and not having a life of her own. The Royal Bastard’s will protect Delilah without a doubt and with their lives. Reaper has to learn to back off and give Delilah her freedom and let her live her life. It’s hard for Reaper to let go though, he has only just met her and has so much to make up for. I loved this story, and I cannot wait for more stories of the Royal Bastards of Portland, Oregon. They sound like a great group of brothers. I give this story a 5-star review.

Sergio wants to prove his worth to his brother and the others for a seat at the Table with their partners in their takeover of the gambling industry in the U.S. Sergio has an idea and has to get the owners of a successful nightclub to agree to selling to Sergio. The only problem is that the owners have their own problems and want to see how far they can push Sergio.

Jaelyn and her older brother Nate have had their dark days and they are still trying to keep themselves out of the limelight so that they are not noticed or found in Las Vegas. They own a string of successful night clubs in Las Vegas, but they also have to hide from the cartel that they took revenge on three years prior.

I loved the chemistry between Sergio and Jaelyn, they are perfect for each other. They’re both strong willed, focused and very passionate. The story is a great story with great characters. The danger and hidden agendas cause more trouble for these two than they really need. They both have their agendas that they are trying to follow, but the passion and steam between these two are off the charts and they can’t deny them. I love the story and the characters, and I look forward to more books in the series. I give this story a 5-star review and recommend the book to any reader that enjoy mafia romance, steamy stories, strong women that push the men in their lives daily, you will love this story.

He’s been betrayed again. His new wife is missing and most of his men are dead at the house where no one was supposed to know he owned. Who found her, who took her, and most importantly, who is betraying Cristiano Grigori? Cristiano knows what it looks like, but can he trust the blatant look of the ambush? He’s not a man who trusts easily and the way he left his wife is eating at him, now she’s been taken, and the only survivor looks to be the one that has betrayed him.

Scarlett De La Cruz Grigori has been taken on the night of her honeymoon. Her husband wasn’t home with her, but that doesn’t mean that he left her to this fate, either. Scarlett is a pawn in a much larger game than she has any idea of. Even Cristiano has no idea the lengths that some will go to destroy her and her Cristiano. Scarlett has always been a fighter and she won’t quit now. The only problem is that the men that have taken her have implicit instructions not to hurt her, so when she fights, others around her pay the price and she can’t keep letting that happen.

The ending to the To Have and To Hold Duet was an action-packed story with betrayal, set ups, and dark, twisted characters. I loved every bit of it and want more. I know this is a duet and this was the end of the duet, but there is still more to the characters that needs to be told. The characters have so much more to share, and I really hope that Ms. Knight is in agreement. I love the characters and the story. Cristiano and Dante have unfinished business and I need to know how it will pan out. I give this story a 5-star review and I look forward to the next book that Ms. Knight writes. She always knows how to draw in the reader and holds them so tight they have no choice but to buckle up and hang on for the ride. Her books are some of my favorite books to read.

Oh wow! This is a heart wrenching story about the love between two people that love so deeply their souls know each other. I am such a huge fan of Tongue’s and this story broke my heart. Especially the ending, I was not expecting it at all.

Tongue and Daphne are such an awesome couple, and I loved this story. To have the background of Daphne’s story and to have these two have to fight for their love wrecked me. I didn’t want to read any teasers because I was too afraid of what I would read before reading the book and I am so glad that I waited. This story is tragic, beautiful, and soul deep.

Daphne loves Tongue, body, mind and soul and it is proved in this story. They have a lot to work out so that they can find their way in the Ruthless Kings again, but this MC is a deep loving family, and they will help Daphne and Tongue through all of the turmoil.

I love the Ruthless Kings and while most of their stories make me laugh a lot, this one had me more subdued than normal. I give this story a 5-star review and I hope that the next book to continue this story comes out soon. No matter if it does or not, I still look forward to reading any book by K. L. Savage, their books are a one-click for me and that won’t change. They know how to write dark, twisted characters and I love them all.

Dark is an understatement for this book. It is dark and twisted with betrayal, deceit and hidden agendas. Daniela and Gian are pawns in this story that fight for their lives and they will lose more than they could imagine.

Daniela is in her own kind of hell and she has to bow to her captor if she has any way of keeping those that she loves safe and alive. Her body is battered, bruised and so sore, but the only way to save the most important people in her life she has to submit and take the brutality.

Gian is tormented in searching for Daniela. When thinks that he has finally won the battle and saved his wife, his world gets turned upside down again and nothing is as he expected it to be.

This is the conclusion of the Vows and Vengeance Duet. It is dark, gritty and twisted, and I loved it. I couldn’t help but fall in love with Gian Silvestro as I got farther into the first book The Devil’s Vow, his hatred for his wife waned and he fell in love with her. Now that she’s missing, he’s beside himself trying to find her. The betrayal, destruction, deceit and hidden agendas in this story are shattering but they made the pages turn and my interest glued to the book. A family full of secrets and deceit leads to tragedy, pain and betrayal, but what is found at the end is the love of a couple that heal each other and show them that life can move on and souls can heal. I loved the story and give it a 5-star review. I don’t think I’ve come across a book by Bella J that I didn’t love, she knows how to draw a reader in with such force that you feel lost until you finish the book.

Priest may not be Russian, but he’s an ex-SEAL and is now working with a group of ex-Russian Special Forces operators and ex-Bratva, along with ex-American Special Forces to guard and protect when needed. If you are rich enough, you can hire this group to help you with security and protection. Priest doesn’t trust easily, but his friend, Cole told him these guys were going legit and it would be a good fit for him, so he took the job. Now he’s been tasked with locating, rescuing, and securing Roze Muka the daughter of a man that is high up in a group of mafia factions called The Starz Allianz, he’s trying to take over the leadership and Roze has been taken to make her father, Gezim, bow to the factions that are currently in charge.

I love the characters in the Bratva Blood series. These men are deadly, loyal, powerful, strong and when they come across a woman that can bring them to their knees they’re done for. There’s no going back once they find that woman and they will go to any extreme to make sure their woman is safe, taken care of and protected at all cost. I love Roze and Priest’s story, even though I wanted to scream at them to communicate. Priest took matters into his own hands and showed Roze that she needed to stop jumping to conclusions. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to the next book in the series, Cole and Pamela’s story.

One thing is for sure, Yelena Nikitina is a fighter and a survivor. She hides her fear behind bravado and sass. She’s smart, beautiful, sassy, strong and too young for Damien Ivanov. However, that doesn’t stop Damien for searching for her after she and one her best friends goes on the run. Yelena is in danger and Damien wants to protect her, but she thinks he is one of the men after her and she has eluded him and his brother for 3 years. Now that they’ve caught up to the two women, they are determined to take them back home Washington, DC, and protect them the only way they know how.

Yelena is one of Damien’s younger sister, Nadia’s, best friends. She has found a way to make a lot of money so she can get away from her stepfather, the only trouble is that she’s too young to realize that she’s has put herself in danger in doing so. Now Damien is bound and determined to save her and protect her. He feels that he failed her eight years ago, now he needs to make it right.

I love the characters and I definitely loved this book. Zoe Blake knows how to write a steamy, sexy story and her characters are always so likable. I love the strength, sass, and determination of Yelena, she may be young, but she’s smart and ready to take on any foe. Damien is determined, sexy and gentle to a point when it comes to Yelena. He wants to make sure she’s safe and protected, so he will fight anyone that puts her in danger or is after her. I give this book a 5-star review and can’t wait for the next book in the series. These girls, Nadia Ivanov, Yelena Nikitina and Samara Federova are like sisters and have known each other since they were little girls.
