Review: Boomer’s Rise Atlantic City Ruthless Kings MC Book 1, by K. L. Savage @klsavage_author @GiveMeBooksPR

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Boomer is fighting daily battles with his own head. He left Las Vegas to find his place in the world and when he landed in Atlantic City and found that the Ruthless Kings MC Atlantic City chapter was a black stain on the Ruthless Kings MC’s he did something about it. He cleaned up the trash and is now trying to fix what was broken in Atlantic City. Their numbers are climbing, and the club is growing, but there is still a lot of work to do. They still have to get the city to see them as an asset instead of the trouble that was lurking before. They started out with a mismatch of guys that were the outcasts from the original Atlantic City Ruthless Kings MC with Boomer rescuing them along with the women that were found in the basement. Now they’re a club that is trying to show the city that they are a better club than the old one and they are there to help and protect the city, in any way they can. I love his love, adoration and devotion to Scarlett Rose and the strength she gives him to continue to fight his demons.

I so love the Ruthless Kings MC books, and the addition of the Atlantic City chapter makes it so that there are more stories to come. The connection between Boomer and Scarlet is strong, beautiful and healing for both of them. Boomer has a lot of baggage, but Scarlet sees the man beneath the baggage and makes him a better man. The men of the of the Ruthless Kings MC are dangerous, loyal and entertaining. While there is a seriousness to them, there is still the family connection these men have and their ability to drive Boomer crazy just like the men of the Las Vegas chapter does to Reaper. The Atlantic City chapter has a battle ahead of them to show the city that they are they to help, but when a snowstorm hits Atlantic City their chance arises to show the city they can help by opening their doors to anyone that needs a safe, warm place to go during the storm.

This book was a fun read, but it was also a tragic read. The characters are finding their own strengths and coming into their own. Boomer is showing the club that he may have issues, but he can be a strong leader and is a good man. All of the guys look to Boomer for help, strength and guidance and are showing him that he is needed and worthy. I love this story and the battles that are fought in this story are tragic, but they show such a strength amongst the club that I can’t help but fall in love with the characters. I give this story a 5-star review and so look forward to more books by K. L. Savage. They write books that can destroy the heart, but they always bring me back with the love of the characters.

Blurb:
Will

From the moment I saw her, I knew she was different. She wasn’t like all the other women I was used to.
But then I asked her out and my mind was blown.
She was different from every other woman; I just wasn’t sure that was a good thing.
Relationships? Off the table.
Marriage? Not a chance in hell.
Geez, I wasn’t even allowed to stay the night. You would think I was with the woman every man dreamed of, but all I wanted was the woman to want me in the same way I wanted her.
It was going to be an uphill battle the whole way, but I was a history teacher. I knew all about warfare.

Charlie
God was seriously mistaken when he said that man and woman should live together for the rest of their lives.
Why would any woman want to live with a man?
They’re disgusting and they don’t listen. They need everything explained to them.
I’ve been there, done that, and I’m not interested in repeating it.
I live my life for me now, and even the sexy Will Cortell won’t change my mind. He can try, but he will fail.
I have to admit, I do like having him around more than I thought.
But I will not give in, no matter how much he pushes. Because the thing about strong women is, the harder you push, the harder you push the woman away. And I have no problem walking away from him.
I think.

Author Bio:
I’m a stay-at-home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow, and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

My 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Review:

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 5 out of 5

Will Cortell is a high school history teacher, he’s one of seven brothers and when he finds the one, he has no idea how to go about getting her on board with his plans. All of the Cortell brothers so far have had to fight for their women in one way or another, but Will’s fight is the hardest so far, in my opinion. He has to fight the history of his woman and he has no idea how to get her to overcome her mindset and open up.

Charlie, short for Charlotte has a past that has colored her opinion of relationships and it is really a tough fight to get her change her mind and see what could be right in front of her. When she first meets Will she’s is instantly attracted to him but she’s not up for a relationship. Her past could hurt her and anyone that is interested in her unless she can fight the mindset she has.

Wow!! I’ve loved the Cortell Brothers since the first book and they all have been pretty steamy, but Will and Charlie’s story is my favorite so far. These two are very steamy together and they have to fight so much to get through Charlie’s past to have any hope of moving forward in their lives. I laughed and cried with this story, but it was an awesome read! I laughed so much reading about Will’s history class, chapter 5, and Will’s interactions with his brothers and their opinion of his “relationship”. These boys are hilarious, and Joe really needs to get his soon. He’s such an instigator. I love that the town cares so much about these boys and I really hope that Josh and Carly can find peace in Josh’s hometown. The brothers all together and their individual stories are some of my favorite books to read. I give this story 5-flaming star reviews and cannot wait until the next books comes out Priceless Ink. If you’re looking for a steamy relationship read with some crazy characters that will have you laughing so much that you’ll be crying, but also want that seriousness that comes when a small town is reeling and so involved in the lives of their community members, this is the book and series to read. Each book is awesome!

Blog Tour and Review: Allegiance by Chiah Wilder @EJBookPromos @chiah_wilder

Title: Allegiance
Series: Nomad Biker Romance
Author: Chiah Wilder
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: February 1, 2021
Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56890904-allegiance

Blurb:

He found himself by getting lost in her.

Nomad biker: a solitary life, riding from place to place. He may or may not be a member of a motorcycle club.

Tank’s Jagged Outlaw MC bottom rocker once read Southern California but now it reads Nomad.

The Jagged Outlaws MC runs through Tank’s blood even though he wears the club’s Nomad patch. His loyalties are still to the club and to Raptor—the president.

When life gets to be too much, Tank hits the open road, relishing in the freedom of solitary living for a while.

Women come and go in his life, and he prefers it that way. He’d tried settling down when he married his high school sweetheart, but when she walked out on him for another man, she took his trust in women with her.

Now his focus is on the MC, his mother’s health, and his business. He doesn’t want anyone complicating his life or crimping his style. He’s doing just fine on his own.

Until he meets Lena.

The sultry, sassy brunette is unlike any woman he’s ever met. The more she keeps him at arm’s length, the more he wants her. She is turning his life upside down and driving him crazy with desire. But he can’t have any of that. He’s a solitary man, right?

Besides, the MC is going through a power struggle with the VP trying to oust the President. And getting involved with the dark-haired vixen right now would be nothing short of stupidity.

Lena is alone in the world. The grief of losing her parents unexpectedly still consumes her, and throwing herself 100% into her restaurant is the only way she can deal with it. She can’t afford anyone or anything to upset the delicate balance she has in her tightly wound life.

Then Tank comes into her life.

The guy’s trouble.

He exudes raw sex.

And her body wants him in the worst way.

The last thing Lena wants is a man in her life. Life has taught her that the only person she can count on is herself, and she can’t let a man with a chiseled body and a strong jaw blow her off course.

But Tank is persistent and she is weakening.

And just when she lets him into her life, she sees who he is and her world comes crashing down on her.

Tank finds himself in a situation where his allegiance to his club and to Lena are at odds. For the first time in his life, his loyalty to the brotherhood is tested.

Can Tank break through a crossroad in his life without losing both Lena and his club?

The Nomad Biker books are standalone romance novels. This is Tank’s story.

MY ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Tank is a nomad in the Jagged Outlaws MC. He was a full-time member but decided he needed to go nomad so that he had the time he needed to care for his momma. Tank is a man that you cannot judge by looks and outside appearances alone. He never thought he would settle down with one woman after everything he went through in his past.

Lena is a business owner that is trying to make a living and moved from her hometown of San Francisco to the small town of Santa Teresita, CA. She needed a fresh start on life, and she had always loved vacationing in Santa Teresita with her parents as a young girl. She’s too busy running her businesses to date or spend time with some guy.

There are choices in life, and we all have to make our own when the time comes. Those choices can be detrimental to ourselves or those we love, but they could also be the best thing to ever happen in life. Tank may be a nomad, but he still cares about his MC and the brothers in the club. The only problem is that he sees things heading downhill and the VP is making decisions that could end the club while also hurting others in the small town. Tank doesn’t want to see his club, or his town suffer, but he has to be sure that he has his back covered if he wants to change things and the choices he makes while doing so is dangerous. Lena has lost so much in her young life and has closed herself off, but Tank makes her feel safe and protected, too bad she doesn’t really know who he is. I loved this story and the characters. The books started off with a slow burn and built up to a story of lust, danger, betrayal and finding the strength to stand up for your beliefs and the support of your community. I give this story a 5-star review and would love to see some more of the characters in this story, like Maniac.

Review: Vow to Protect by Autumn Archer @EJBookPromos @archer_author

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Brett De Courcy has lost the one woman that he loved and wanted to make a life with. The tragedy broke him, and he spiraled out of control. The way he was able to come back was when his cousin Kaleb held an intervention and his daughter, Tilly’s sweet face finally brought him out of his darkness. He still battles that darkness and fights it every day, but when he meets a young woman on the street outside of his apartment one night his darkness could be cleared, and she could bring him to the light. The trouble is that he has shut his heart off and doesn’t trust himself or anyone to give him a happily ever after.

Raen Cartier is in need of someone to save her and help her get away from the monster that has turned her life upside down and taken the only person that she had left from her. Her life is no longer her own and she needs saving. The only person that she believes can help her is Brett De Courcy. When he denies her and tells her to stay away from him and his daughter, she has to figure out a way to get herself clear of the monster.

So many secrets will be revealed in this story. The story is full of tragedy, darkness, danger and heartbreak. I love the characters; they are so deep and soulful, and the story pulled me in from the first page and held me captive until the end. Out of the darkness comes light and healing with the right person beside you. It takes an Angel to bring the light and Raen finds her inner strength to be the protector and the Angel that is needed in the strength that she finds from Brett’s help and her love for him and family. I give this story a 5-star review and would love to have more of Malakai and Alexander’s stories as well.

Review of Broken Beauty by Bry Ann @AuthorBryAnn

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Rain and Ajax have both lived through tragedy and have the scars to prove it. Their first meeting will always stick with both of them, but they’ll never talk about it.

Rain has so many scars that her life is not a normal one, but it’s as normal as she can make it. Her rescuer and hero will always be there for her and he will always hold a special place in her heart. Richard never saw himself as a family man, he was too focused on his career, but when he sees Rain for the first time, his heart shatters.

Ajax has lost everyone in his life that has ever meant anything to him. Now he’s on his own until a family decides they want to adopt him, but they wait until he’s almost ready to age out of the system. Now he has a brother, and he protects him over and over again. Until he sees the true man behind the mask.

Rain and Ajax aren’t really friends, but they are kindred souls. Their story is brutal, dark, tragic and healing. They can see the torment behind each other’s eyes and find that they are drawn to each other because of what they’ve survived in their lives. This story shattered my heart and broke me. Rain feels as though she’s broken, but what she doesn’t know is that she is a strong woman and a survivor. Ajax feels as though he’s weak, but he is also a survivor, he’s just a bit quieter and more reserved, but he will find the strength and will that are required to save the one person that matters to him now. Bry Ann’s books are always dark and tragic, but she does such an awesome job in writing them and I love them. Her books break my heart, but in the end it’s always mended back. I love these characters and I love that Francis, Guy, Cut, Lacy, Maria and Seven all make an appearance in this story. The story is dark and tragic, but the ending is beautiful and healing. I give this story a 5-star review and as always, I can’t wait to read more of Bry Ann’s books. Be forewarned, this book has triggers.

Review of Lost Soul (Dirty Souls MC, Book 1) by Emma Creed @authoremmacreed @GiveMeBooksPR

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

He’s wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps since he was a child. His father has always been his hero and that would never change. For Jessie, being a member of the Dirty Souls MC runs through his blood. When tragedy hits, Jessie moves from Utah to Colorado and grows up in the Colorado chapter of the Dirty Souls. He’s always known that he would be one and he has never made excuses or apologized for that, until her.

Hayley may be a Dirty Souls MC Princess, but she has no clue how the club really runs or how things go in the club. Her daddy has kept her away from the club for most of her life, until he no longer has the option to. She doesn’t really understand that she’s off limits to the MC members, but they know it. She’s always known that her heart belonged to the boy that her daddy brought home, but when he asks for Hayley’s help in getting information on one of her classmates her life is turned upside down and sideways. Will her dreams ever come true or will she find a new path?

This book is dark, tragic and heartbreaking with great characters and is a great start to a new series. There are twists and unpredictable outcomes that I never saw coming, but I loved every bit of this book. It brought out all of the feels yet left me wanting so much more. I love the book and the characters. These men live in a brotherhood but not everyone is as loyal as they seem. Danger lurks and tragedy strikes on multiple levels. The Dirty Souls have a lot to clear up so that they don’t completely destruct, but can they come back from the tragedy and betrayals that hit them on multiple levels? I give this story a 5-star review and I look forward to the next book in the series because I have questions that need to be answered!

Review of Savage Ruler (Sinfully Savage) by Kristen Luciani @kristen_luciani @GiveMeBooksPR

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

They both have regrets from their past that have made them the focused and determined people they are now. They want to prove their worth for their families and show that they are the correct choice to rule when the time comes, but when Heaven Mulligan’s father goes to Matteo Villani for protection and help because Conor Mulligan, Heaven’s brother and co-Underboss of the family, put the family in danger, they both seem to spiral and lose sight of their rules and plans.

Matteo Villani is a focused and disciplined man that has a niche in Manhattan. His name is well known and revered by most. He’s a man with the need for more money and power and he will step on anyone to get to where he wants to be, that is until his world is turned upside down by his own plan.

Heaven Mulligan is a woman that is determined to prove to her father and family that she’s the right choice to take over for him when he’s ready to step down. Her brother Conor isn’t bright enough to keep the family going for more than a week in her opinion, but no matter how hard she works or proves her worth she’s afraid that it won’t mean a thing in the end. When her father makes her take one for the family all of her dreams and sights are shot down and she’s left with more pain.

I love Ms. Luciani’s stories and Savage Rule did not disappoint. It’s ruthless, savage, dark and a great read. I love the characters, the plot and the pace of the book. Its fast paces, action packed and steamy. Matteo and Heaven are both stubborn, focused and determined to get what they want. Matteo see’s Heave as a steppingstone, but Heaven see’s Matteo as a roadblock and their worlds collide in this story. I love it and give it a 5-star review. I can’t wait to read more of the Sinfully Savage stories and get more of the characters in this book. Ms. Luciani is one of my favorite authors and a one-click author that I have to read. If you are looking for a steamy, enemies, mafia read, you’ll want to read Savage Ruler.

Review of Haze of Obedience: Behind Closed Doors Series, Book 3 by Maggie Cole @GiveMeBooksPR

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Zoe Diego is a Pop Star in Mexico and wants her name known throughout the world, but she’s hit a wall and her manager doesn’t seem to be able to help her get out any more than she is. When she is confronted with the opportunity to make her name better known she’s decides to go for it, but was it the right decision to make or will it destroy her?

Dirk Zamora is a huge fan of Zoe’s and when he is the one assigned to rescue and protect Zoe, he’s excited. The only problem is that these two have a communication barrier between them and they fight a lot until they’re on their own and Dirk is focused on protecting Zoe with his life. Dirk is retired military working for Interpol now.

I love the Behind Closed Doors series and Haze of Obedience is just as good as the first books in the series. The danger, intrigue and suspense in this book makes is a great read. I was introduced to Dirk and Zoe in Depths of Destruction, book one in the series, but I didn’t know where their story led them until reading Haze of Obedience. Although the books are intertwined, the stories and characters lead their own path. Ms. Cole leaves each couple’s book a suspense until you get into it. Depths of Destruction is the first book in the Behind Closed Doors series where we meet six men that are former military now turned International Rescue. They are sent to the jungles of Bolivia where they are to rescue a reporter, but they find that there is more to this rescue than what they are told and it leads to these six men having to rescue, protect, and guide these women to safety with a lot of danger, betrayal, twists, and turns along the way. The women find their inner strength with the power of the men that have rescued them and are guiding them to safety. Zoe’s story is full of pain, brutality, darkness and eventually light and love. Dirk is a man that worships the ground Zoe walks on and will do anything to save, protect and love her. I give this book a 5-star review and am so looking forward to Cavern of Silence.

Review of With This Ring: To Have And To Hold Duet, Book 1 by Natasha Knight @NatashaKnight13 @GiveMeBooksPR

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Ms. Knight has done it again! Another book that I could not put down and left me wanting so much more.

Cristiano Grigori has rescued Scarlett De La Cruz but has he really. She’s been rescued from the tower in the evil castle, but she’s still not free. Cristiano is out for redemption and the De La Cruz family is in his sights. He’s suffered enough in his life, now it’s his turn to get what he wants in life and if he doesn’t keep his head straight it could be the end.

Scarlett De La Cruz was raised in a family of violence, it doesn’t faze her in the least anymore, but she will ask for the safety of her younger brother when things turn bad for her. She’s had her own suffering in her life and now that things have circled back her life could be null and void. If she can survive the next phase of things to come, she may have a life left to live.

I really loved this story, it’s full of dark, dangerous men, action packed, and tragic. It’s a tragic story of family loss, betrayal and deception. Cristiano and Scarlett have both been betrayed by people that they should have been able to trust but find themselves in more danger when they are blindsided. Family should be reliable and trustworthy, but money and power are too blinding to some. I love the characters and the story. I can’t wait for the next book in the duet, I Thee Take. I love Natasha Knight’s writing. She writes stories that suck you in and hold you tight until the very end, leaving you with a book hangover, it happens to me every time I read one of her books. I give this story a 5-star review and suggest it to readers that are looking to get lost in another world for a bit, and if the blurb or my review don’t draw you in, just look at that cover!

KL Ramsey’s New Release – Can’t Fix Cupid (Royal Bastards MC) #RoyalBastardsMC #RBMC #TuesdayBookBlog @KLRamsey5

Can’t Fix Cupid
Author: KL Ramsey
Series: Royal Bastards MC
Huntsville, AL Chapter
Cover Design:Lou Gray

Available on Kindle Unlimited

✔️Link: https://books2read.com/u/b6Kpj0

Marco Diego was held against his will for over a year, and the only thing that kept him going were daily visits to his cell by Sister Valentina.

She had come by the Camillo compound every day, offering him conversation, prayer, and even her shy smile when he told her a dirty joke to make her blush.

She was beautiful, with her long dark hair, and caramel-colored eyes that looked at him with such compassion, kindness, and dare he believe it—longing.

She was only twenty, just a girl compared to his almost forty years, but when she looked at him the way she did, he wanted to do things with her that a man should never want to do with a nun.

Valentina wasn’t sure how she was ever going to escape her little village, but she had to.

She had no choice since her father betrayed the Camillo family.

They were one of the biggest crime families in the Guadalajara Syndicate, and her only way to safety was to pledge her undying love and life to a God who didn’t care about her or her family.

She said her vows, made promises she never intended on keeping, and then met him—Marco Diego.

He made her feel things that she had never felt for any man.

Things that would get her kicked out of the nunnery, her only solace from the Camillo family.

As a nun, she could hide in plain sight. If she was caught with Marco, she’d be shunned, ousted from the order, and made to face the Camillo family on her own, but that was a chance she was willing to take if it meant finally being with him.

Can’t Fix Cupid is K.L. Ramsey’s third book in the Royal Bastards MC series.

MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Marcos Diego has been missing for over a year after trying to help Luciana Diaz find her way to her love. He sacrificed himself so she could find peace and safety. Now he’s fighting for his sanity and his life locked away in Mexico, by a drug cartel. His last hope to save his life is to get word to the US Embassy in Mexico that he is being held captive and a rescue mission put into effect to get him out.

Valentina Leon needs to find refuge or forfeit her life. The Camillo family is hunting her, and she has no way to escape her town or them, or so she thought. Maybe if she can hide in plain sight she can survive. One night of too much wine though and her secret is spilled. She thinks she’s safe, but not everyone is loyal. Money has a way of making people give up their values and morals.

I really liked this story. I’ve read the other books with Marcos and was so happy to have his story told. Marcos is an FBI agent that is loyal and protective. He’s afraid if he doesn’t get away from the Camillo family, he won’t have that chance, but a chance meeting gives him hope and then his world gets turned upside down. He has no idea what’s going on now. I love the connections that these characters always have with each other, the Savage Hell MC and the connection with Whiskey O’Brien and Anders Taylor, both FBI agents with Marcos have each other’s backs and are ready to help when needed. They have a great connection and comradery. For the Savage Hell MC to work with the FBI shows a loyalty for the MC brotherhood since Whiskey is one of them. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to more of the Savage Hell MC, RBMC, and the Lone Star Rangers.
