* Review * MAKE ME YOUR VILLAIN by Lani Lynn Vale

I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

Flaws—he has them.
Laws? He breaks them.
Dues? He’s paid them.
Scars? He bares them proudly.
Lessons? He’s learned them.
Problems? He has one.
Her name is Iris, and she’s the one thing in his life that he can’t control.

Unputdownable goodness! Lani Lynn Vale knows how to wrap a man around her reader’s heart no matter how bad he seems to think he is. Shine is rough and sweet all rolled up into one package of holy hotness and I loved every minute of the second book in the Battle Crows MC series. As always, there is a lot happening in a fast paced nature, so there’s a tad here or there that could be developed more, but MAKE ME YOUR VILLAIN had me hooked quickly, held my attention throughout and left me fully satisfied. I can’t wait for more in the series!

Iris has had a hard life, and it is really comforting to see her finally have someone in her corner who will be there for her through thick and thin with no strings and no expectations.

Callum is a teddy bear when it comes to Iris and I loved watching the two of them fall hard and fast for each other.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a group of alpha men with feisty women at their sides standing up for what’s right and being willing to do what needs to be done to keep their loved ones safe.

* Review * THE CHASE by Victoria Denault

I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

They crashed and burned in the past, but The Chase is on again.

Frankie
I grew up on the track, surrounded by race car drivers. I loved it.
But along with the good times came some really bad ones. So, I left that life behind and didn’t look back.
Until now.
I never thought I’d care enough about the family legacy to take control when my dad retired. But…I did
So now I’m in charge of a racing team that includes the man who kissed me, then ghosted me before that was even a thing. Sadly, he’s as sexy as ever.
But if he thinks my heart will be his next big win, he's sorely mistaken.

Billy
I was worried when Frankie took over Mirabella Racing.
Not for the team. She could handle that. I was worried for me—the guy she hates.
Problem is, I don’t hate her. She’s…everything.
But in my line of work, relationships are complicated at best, dangerous at worst. Not to mention, now she’s my boss.
Even with all those red flags, I still can’t stop trying to charm my way into her bed.
She won’t make it easy. But I love a good chase…

I was hooked from start to finish! I’ve been a fan of Victoria Denault’s hockey heroes for awhile now, so when I saw she was going to give racing a try, I was all in and I was NOT disappointed. THE CHASE is the first book in her brand new Racing Hearts series and brings us a reconnection of passing teen infatuation when the new boss of up and coming racer Billy is the one that got away a decade ago. Great characters with an interesting back story, a touch of mystery along the way and a whole lot of yummy racing stamina!

Billy is a total sweetheart and I enjoyed seeing him get the girl in the end.

Frankie was a whole lot of drama and mystery, but she had such a good personality. I enjoyed seeing her finally get answers for the past and reconnect with the guy she wanted from the word go.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good sports romance with lots of angst, turmoil and desire mixed up with a whole lot of heart. I’m looking forward to more in the series!
