Declan Moran (Terror) is the President of the Dublin Falls Archangels’ Warriors MC. He has never had a desire to settle down with one woman or take an ol’ lady. He’s happy with the way things are and his single status. After meeting the Princess of the Hunter’s Creek branch of the Archangels Warriors MC his thoughts have changed. She may be their princess, but she is far from a girly princess.

Harlow (Harley) is the daughter of Bull, the President of the Hunter’s Creek branch of the Archangels Warriors MC. She’s tall, sexy, strong, and sassy. Harlow was raised by her father and the brothers in the Hunter’s Creek MC, she’s an ex-Marine, and can handle a gun, knife, and herself in a fight. She won’t take any mouth from any of the guys and is not afraid to put them in their place when she sees something she doesn’t like or agree with.

I really enjoyed this story. The characters are great, and the story is full of action, danger, drama, and sexy bikers. The meeting between Harlow and the Dublin Falls Warriors is entertaining and a huge surprise to them. Terror is an Alpha male that has to adjust his thoughts and actions with Harlow if he wants to keep her in his life. He understands that she can take care of herself, but he also wants to protect her and keep her out of danger. When the worst happens to her Terror is beside himself and blames himself for not protecting her. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to reading the next books in the series. Ms. St. James is a new to me author and a fairly new author, and she contacted me to read her books for a review. Thank you for that Ms. St. James, as Terror’s Temptress was a great read and I can only imagine that Savage’s Princess and Steel and Hammer’s Hellcat will be just as entertaining and fun to read as well. If you like your MC to be more along the legal business side, Alpha protectors, and women who melt the hearts of the men that they catch, you will enjoy the Archangels Warriors MC. I love the covers too.

Tragedy struck and now they may never find their way back to each other. How can Dalton convince his wife that they are better and stronger together when she won’t talk to him or be near him. She blames herself and can’t see past her pain to let Dalton help her.

Dalton and Mandy had a tough start, but things were going well until tragedy struck. Now Dalton is afraid of losing his family, but more importantly, he’s afraid that Mandy won’t ever find her way back to him or her family

This story was short, tragic, tear inducing, and written so well. For the subject matter of this book, Ms. Briscoe did a great job of conveying the tragic events as well as the real heart break that Mandy and Dalton are facing. The family are trying to help Mandy cope with the tragedy, but she is shutting everyone out. Ms. Briscoe did a great job with the reality of how a family must cope with the loss of a loved one and the mental anguish that comes along with it at times. The struggle to ask for help, lean on others, or find our way out of the depression that can hit after a tragedy is so real and so heartbreaking. I loved Dalton’s story and I give it 5-star review. I recommend all of Ms. Briscoe’s Heaven Hill Short stories, but only after you’ve read the Heaven Hill Next Generation. If you like MC stories, you will love this series.

Review of Rise Again Warrior (Mission: Believe) by Stacy Eaton

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5 If I could give 5 more, I would!

Dr. Lauren Falcone works with military men and women that are struggling with life after returning home from their tours of duty to our country. She is a kind, gentle soul that has her own scars to bear and deal with. She’s struggled with leaving her home and being in crowds and has adjusted her career to be able to help others that struggle with these kinds of things. Since she meets with her clients remotely, she’s able to do her work wherever she is.

Staff Sgt. Shane Logan is recovering from an IED blast that took out his team fifteen months ago while returning from a raid. Not many from his team made it out of that ambush, he did, but with both physical and mental scars to show for it. He is dealing with his own issues as well as the issues of people who encounter him and don’t know how to act or what to say, so they stare at him and give him a wide birth or they look at him with pity, neither makes him feel any better about himself. With the confidence he gains, he shares his dream with his father about a new project he wants to bring to life, and his father uses this opportunity to get what he wants in return.

The story of two people who have lived through tragedy, but in different ways. They both suffer from survivors’ guilt and their struggles are real with their pain, mental anguish, and fears of what they have been through and their struggles to move on and find a new normal, a new life, and a reason to continue to live. These two need each other to find their way towards a life they can live rather than just move through the motions. They both have a lot to overcome and find it in themselves to reach for what they want and hold onto it.

This story is tragic, heartfelt, inspiring, and one of my favorite reads this year. It touched me in so many ways. It is so realistic and emotional, and written with a beautiful touch. Shane’s need for approval shows so much vulnerability and is so realistic. He needs that validation to help find himself again and Lauren gives him that and so much more. I give this story a 5-star review, if I could give it more, I would. I look forward to reading more of the Rise Again Warrior books in the near future. I love the characters and the plot of this story. It was beautifully written. This was my first read of Stacy Eaton, but it won’t be my last. I look forward to finding more books written by her and continuing the series of the Rise Again Warrior books.

He’s a loose cannon after things went bad and he lost the love of his life. Well, he walked away from the love of his life without defending himself or fighting for her. He felt defeated and was blaming himself for the way things turned out at her 18th birthday party. Tommaso now lives his life on the edge and does not let his head get clouded when he needs to do a job. He doesn’t ever want to miss anything again that could cause someone’s life to be in the balance.

From the first time she laid eyes on him she knew that he was it for her, but there was an age difference and he worked for her father. He’s also her brother’s best friend, or she believes he is. Gemma is naïve, young, and daddy’s little girl. The night of her 18th birthday everything goes terribly wrong and even after she lost her dream of playing soccer, she won’t recover from this situation. Her life will go downhill, and she’ll have to make the same decision that Tommaso did two years earlier. Will she be able to save everyone, or will it be a huge mistake on her part?

I love the Men of Mayhem series as much as I loved the Severinov Bratva Series. The characters are lethal, loyal and so much fun to read. This family is entertaining to read, and they always seem to find themselves in deep trouble, but they are good at getting out of it, with a little help from their extended family. I love Kristen Luciani’s books. She has a way with her characters that has you laughing, tearing up, and wanting to slap them throughout the books. In the end, they always win me over though. I give this book a 5-star review and I am so looking forward to Vincenzo Marcone’s story. He’s going to fall so far down the rabbit hole, just like Alex did. I cannot wait. It seems the higher they are in the family the farther they have to fall when the woman that steels their hearts come along.

She’s in the wrong place at the wrong time and now her life is in peril. She’s in protective custody, but even that doesn’t seem to be keeping her safe. Olivia can’t seem to catch a break in her life. She’s a trained ballerina, but one accident while dancing put her life in a spiral. Now she dances in a different venue just keep her head above water. One night puts her in more jeopardy than she bargained for and now she has to fight to survive not only to make ends meet, but to stay alive.

His second in command is unfortunate enough to see a hand floating in the water outside of their warehouse, now the police are doing a thorough search of the water and he and Viktor are tasked looking at what is found in the water. Andrusha prefers to keep to himself and fly under the radar, but this whole situation has caused him more trouble than he wanted. Andrusha will now have to make some hard decisions and hope for the best.

I absolutely loved this story. It has the dark, dangerous, twisted, and sexy that I enjoy reading. Andrusha is a powerful man that finds that he has a heart and that he will do anything to protect his family, whether they have been in his life for long time or a short time. He is smart, sexy, and a dangerous man to cross. This was my first read of Odette Stone, but I will have to put more of her books on my Kindle App. She is a great storyteller and her characters are awesome. I would love to read Viktor’s story. He appears to be a broody man, one of my favorites. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to reading more of Ms. Stone’s Vancouver Mafia Romance books.

He’s closed off, gruff, and demanding. Mike Flynn is a man who has had love and lost it. Now he is focused on his job. He will do anything to protect those he loves and cares about. When he receives a phone call from a teammate from the Army asking for his help, he won’t turn him down. Now he’s headed to Los Angeles to help Alex Costa’s sister to return a favor.

Lucia Costa is not trained like her brothers to deal with danger and deadly situations, but she will put herself in jeopardy to protect and help her older brother Cole when he is in trouble. The only problem is that she has to go on the run to save her life. She’s talented in finding information with a computer, but her skills to take down a cartel are lacking.

I loved this story. The action, danger, and loyalty of the Flynn’s, Costa’s, and the members of Tactical Solutions International willingness to help, keep the pages turning in this book. The characters are entertaining, loyal, tough, and their willingness to do anything to save or protect family or anyone they care about, makes for a great book and series. Mike is an FBI Special Agent and is looking for justice for his friend and the woman that won’t leave his mind. I give this story a 5-star review and recommend it to readers that enjoy suspense, Alpha males, women who don’t take anything from anyone, or characters that loyal, dangerous, and ready to take down the bad guys.

Dominik has his job and he is particular about how it is done. When he runs into trouble one night while transporting their product, he has to find a way to get it back and keep the police from causing them more trouble. He needs to send a message that the Petrov’s will not take interruptions of their products by the police.

Lara Erdeli lives a life in hiding. She is hiding from a devastating past and trying to get retribution for that past.

The man protecting her and keeping her safe is the new Chief of Police in St. Petersburg. He is incorruptible and determined to clean the streets of the Bratva. He can’t be bought, but there may be a way to keep him off the Petrov Bratva’s backs.

I really loved this story. Dom is a great character. He is a tough man, a Bratva brother, but he also has a side that you would not expect to find. He falls hard for Lara and is determined to keep her and protect her. I enjoy the characters of this story as well as the other books in the series. They are entertaining to read. They’re loyal, deadly, and they are not afraid to do what is needed to ensure the safety of their family and loved one. I give this story a 5-star review and suggest that you read the entire series. I also read the Series Finale Epilogue, available at the end of the book, and loved it as well. I do wish that it had been longer though. If you are a reader of Mafia, Bratva, Alpha males, and strong women, you will love this series.
