Howler

As President of the Manchester Chapter of the Untamed Sons my job is simple: defend our territory and expand our reach. Ravage sent me here to build an empire and over the years that’s what I did. I carved out a slice of paradise for me and my brothers. We reaped the rewards of that peace, until a brother’s ex turns up and tells him his daughter is in danger.
None of us knew of Pia’s existence, but she’s a brother’s kid and that makes her family. We ride out to confront the club she was taken by and as soon as I lay eyes on her I know she’s mine. Beneath the bruises, I can tell Pia is beautiful and I’m instantly drawn to her. She’s also off limits, but I can’t stay away. I want to heal all her wounds and show her she’s not broken by what happened to her.

Pia

I never expected to be taken as payment for my ex-husband’s debt. The Road Jesters MC used and abused me in ways I can never recover from. When the Sons rode in to save me, there was only one person I trusted: Howler, their president. I should be terrified of him, but he soothes the demons that stalk me now. I don’t understand why his club saved me, but as truths are revealed I realise how tied I am to the Untamed Sons and that Howler will do anything to protect me from the threat of the Road Jesters.

*Warning : Contains graphic violence and dark emotional scenes that may trigger some readers.

Gut-wrenchingly raw and emotional! With the first book in her Untamed Sons MC spin-off Manchester Chapter series Jessica Ames is bringing us a damaged heroine and the man who brings her back to life. The characters were very satisfying and I was invested in them from start to finish but I needed more relationship development to make the story feel complete. Fast paced and intriguing.

Pia is emotionally compelling and seeing her overcome the torture she’s been through is heartwarming.

Howler is tough and determined, but the gentle side of him that Pia brings out is really sweet and satisfying.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a redemption story of a heroine overcoming a lot to be loved and protected by her alpha man.

What happens when the player gets played?

Sidney Carver has a big problem, and he goes by the name of Dwayne “Gunner” Wicked: six-plus feet of muscular, motorcycle-riding, animal-loving deliciousness. Gunner is her boss, roommate, and best friend. They’ve seen each other through life-altering injuries and unimaginable losses, and they work side by side at Wicked Animal Rescue, fulfilling their passion to save animals. Unfortunately, Gunner is also the man Sidney is in love with, and he's the ultimate player. As her former military comrade, Gunner sees her as his buddy—just one of the guys. Sidney is at her wit’s end, ready to risk the friendship and job she adores for a chance at forever love with the man she can’t live without. Like any good marine, she comes up with a mission. Enter Operation Get My Guy.

Gunner loves his life. He has a family he adores, a brotherhood that always has his back, and a host of willing women to warm his bed. As the owner of Wicked Animal Rescue, he saves lives and works with his best friend, Sid, the coolest woman on the planet. When Sid concocts a crazy plan to win his cousin’s heart, Gunner reluctantly agrees to be her wingman and comes up with a plan of his own.

Practices heat up as roommates become teammates. Let the wicked fun begin…

Wicked sex appeal from start to finish! Just when you think you can’t love a character more than you loved the previous one you read, Melissa Foster wraps another man around your heart and doesn’t let go. With book three in The Wicked’s Dark Knights at Bayside series Dwayne AKA Gunner shines in CRAZY, WICKED LOVE and I loved every single minute of him and Sidney.

Gunner is sweet, sincere and sexy as all get out and seeing how much his friendship with Sidney meant to him really endeared him to my heart.

Sidney is bringing all the feels! She’s sweet, she’s sassy, she’s pulling all of my heart strings because she is hankering for this man who doesn’t truly see the woman in front of him.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a close-knit high energy group of family and friends who love hard and always put forth the effort for one of theirs.

CRAZY, WICKED LOVE by Melissa Foster is live!

Slap Shot by Kat Mizera
Series: Lauderdale Knights #1
on March 22, 2022
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

Welcome to Fort Lauderdale—where the days are hot and the Knights are hotter…

Vaughn:
I might be at the top of my game, but a fresh start feels like the right move at this stage of my career. Joining the Lauderdale Knights has been a great decision, and I’m ready to win this city over.

On opening night the crowd goes wild… and so does my slap shot. Knocking a fan unconscious wasn’t the introduction I envisioned. Especially when I lay eyes on my gorgeous victim. Problem is… she’s engaged.

Juliet:
Waking up with a concussion and amnesia has made me realize that when it comes to living life on my terms, it’s now or never. My big Italian family means well, but it’s time for them to stop calling the shots.

Now if I could just get rid of my fiancé, quit my job, and stop drooling over the hottie hockey player who knocked some sense into me, life would be perfect. Except nothing in my life is perfect… not even Lauderdale’s newest MVP.

I’m already hooked! Kat Mizera’s brand new Lauderdale Knights series is already destined for success just by the few familiar faces she’s bringing in from her past series’, and this first book did not disappoint one bit. In SLAP SHOT, Vaughn sets out to rediscover himself a bit and falling for a fan sets the stage quickly. I loved seeing the groundwork go into this team and can’t wait to see them develop throughout.

Juliet is such a sweetheart. She’s a huge hockey fan and even getting hit in the head and knocked unconscious doesn’t dim her fandom. I loved watching her come into herself and set herself apart from her overbearing family.

Vaughn is complex and fun. He has a side to his past coming into play as he sets out to shine in a new phase of his life, and then adding the good fortune of meeting Juliet to the mix is icing on the cake.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a hockey romance with enjoyable characters, drama going on behind the scenes and a happily ever after building throughout. I’m highly anticipating more from this series!

* Review * MONTANA DANGER by Josie Jade and Janie Crouch

Montana Danger by Josie Jade, Janie Crouch
Series: Resting Warrior Ranch #2
Published by Calamittie Jane Publishing on March 15, 2022
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

Some mistakes haunt you forever.

Harlan Young knows that from personal experience. Walking away from Grace Townsend, even with the best intentions and no other choice, still haunts him to this day.

So when he had the chance to return to Montana, and be part of something as special as the Resting Warrior Ranch, he took it. Here he can help train service and emotional support animals for former soldiers with PTSD.

And maybe, just maybe, convince Grace to give him a second chance.

He never expected that second chance to be in the form of a fake marriage in order to save the land she loves so much. But he’ll do it, as well as help fight the danger closing in on her. She thinks she’s alone, but she’s wrong.

She knew him as a boy, but now he's a man. And real men don’t run.

High energy suspense! Danger is knocking as suspicious happenings are putting Grace on edge and in need of Harlan’s rescuing in MONTANA DANGER. The second book in the Resting Warrior Ranch series by Josie Jade and Janie Crouch does not disappoint as the reader is quickly hooked on finding out what’s going on with Grace’s ranch and unraveling the past drama between she and Harlan. I highly enjoyed this book from start to finish!

Grace puts up a good front of being self-reliant and tough, but she’s as sensitive and scared as the next gal would be in her situation. I enjoyed getting to know the ins and outs of what her past has been that made her who she is today.

Harlan is a man with good intentions that still pays for his decisions of years ago. I enjoyed him a lot.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a group of former soldiers who not only overcome their own demons from the time they served on a daily basis but also set out to help all that they can around them.

* Review * KISSING GAMES by Stefanie London

Kissing Games by Stefanie London
Series: Kissing Creek #2
Published by Entangled: Amara on March 21, 2022
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

Injured pro baseball player Ryan Bower has plenty of reasons for not sleeping. But thanks to a steamy romance novel that’s ignited the imaginations—and libidos—of pretty much everyone in Kissing Creek, Ryan’s kept awake by the sound of his parents. Having sex. Unforgivably gross. And Ryan is almost certain that the town’s adorably quirky and troublemaking librarian is responsible.

Sloane Rickman adores everything about her little town—with the exception of its very tall and infuriatingly sexy Golden Boy. Ryan Bower may be a ball-playing hottie, but where exactly does he get off telling her what books to recommend to her oddball little book club? Good thing he’s only in town for the fall.

Now Sloane and Ryan are stuck planning the main float for the town’s parade. But somewhere between arguments over paint colors and papier mâché flowers, their fights keep turning into red-hot kisses. And between Ryan's demanding ball career and Sloane's life in Kissing Creek, they face the biggest game of their lives…if they’re ready to play for keeps.

Adorably sassy! Stefanie London continues to bring a smile to her reader’s face with laugh out loud clarity in the second book in her Kissing Creek series. In KISSING GAMES, the town golden boy returns home to heal from an injury and butts heads with the quirky librarian that everyone loves. Fast paced fun, sexy connections and so many heartfelt emotions wrap themselves around your heart!

Ryan is tenacious and spunky and watching him fall head over heals for the one he professes not to like is really fun.

Sloane is sweet and sensitive and just feisty enough to make this read funny as well as heartfelt.

I recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a small town setting with close knit community as love swirls in the air.

The Rancher's Reckoning by Joanne Rock
Series: Texas Cattleman's Club: Fathers and Sons #6
Published by Harlequin Desire on March 29, 2022
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

“All of Royal, Texas, wants to know who the father is.”

And a beautiful outsider knows the truth.

Rancher Colt Black is stunned to learn he has a secret son. And he owes Sierra Morgan big-time for bringing him together with baby Micah. What Colt feels for the intense reporter goes beyond gratitude, however—and that’s a problem. Indulging in the connection with Sierra is an irresistible risk, especially after she moves onto the ranch to help him with the baby. But soon Colt learns Sierra’s life-changing secret…and their newfound arrangement may never be the same.

Long awaited answers arrive in this fast paced, addictive tale! With the final book in the Texas Cattleman’s Club: Fathers and Sons series Joanne Rock is pouring on the feels when a long lost father is united with the son he didn’t know existed. Emotions are high, mistrust is at the forefront and a solid foundation into fatherhood begins to build. I highly enjoyed this series!

Sierra has been a complex character throughout this series. I had a bit of a hesitation regarding her initially because everyone feared she was only out to stir up drama, but in the end she became an endearing force in this reunion.

Colt is a character who has family ingrained into the heart of his very soul, so it doesn’t take any convincing to have him step forward.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys high drama, romance and mystery all mixed into one.

A Nurse to Claim His Heart by Juliette Hyland
Series: Neonatal Nurses #1
Published by Harlequin Medical Romance on March 29, 2022
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

A picture is worth a thousand words…

What about a viral video?

When Dr. Benedict saves an infant on the Washington Metro, the treatment he performs with nurse Penny becomes the talk of the town—and social media! Not least because the world thinks they’re a couple… While a real relationship is a no-go zone for divorced Benedict, prolonging their “faux-mance” is the perfect way to raise vital hospital funds. But the longer their ruse goes on, the more real it feels!

An emotional journey into forever! With the kick-off book of the Neonatal Nurses duet Juliette Hyland continues to shine with attention grabbing, well developed characters and a plot that holds up throughout. I always know I’m going to connect fully and sink into the current storyline with ease when I pick up Hyland’s latest!

Penny is the hospital sweetheart who always goes the extra mile for her patients and colleagues. Seeing her on the verge of getting the happiness she deserves after utter disappointment is heartwarming.

Benedict has quite the back story and I felt deeply for him, but also disliked a bit of his attitude. He was easily able to redeem himself in my eyes though.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a fast paced, medical setting for a romance with lots of drama and sweet interactions included.

A winter storm…

and a white-hot reunion!

Princess Freya is dreading the dutiful task that will mean facing Kjell Bergqvist again. The hardened soldier he’s become is nothing like the man who broke her heart eight years ago. But memories of what they once shared enflame new desires when a snowstorm leaves them stranded!

Kjell can’t forgive Freya for exiling him from his country—until they discover the truth of what really tore them apart. Without a royal title, he cannot offer Freya the future she deserves, but they have each other as long as the storm rages…

A delectable reunion of first loves! With the first book in her Royals of Svardia series Pippa Roscoe delivers a top notch story that kept me engrossed from start to finish. Well-developed characters, a back story and continuation that sold the plot well and a sweet yet steamy romance.

Princess Freya is a sweetheart who is willing to forsake herself for the good of others. She’s on the verge of a turning point in her life when she’s forced to reconnect with the man that broke her young heart years ago.

Kjell is steadfast and self-reliant, but stubborn when it comes to hearing about the past.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a royal romance with a boatload of drama to unpack throughout. I’m looking forward to seeing the other siblings meet their match!

Goodreads

This was her former brother-in-law.

The last person who should make her feel hot…and alive.

Events guru Cody Gallant is off-limits to Tinsley Ryder-White. Why? Cody is the brother of her unreliable ex-husband. Sure, there’s a major spark between them. But she won’t risk falling in love again. Even if Cody is sexy, considerate—everything his brother isn’t. Business pushes them together, but she can’t blame that for kissing him on New Year’s! Is it a future together she sees in Cody’s smoldering gaze? Or the promise of another Gallant-brother heartbreak?

This emotional continuation of the Dynasties: DNA Dilemma series by Joss Wood is sure to please! The characters in WRONG BROTHER, RIGHT KISS have powerful backstories, not to mention a bit of a contentious history between each other. I enjoyed their story wholeheartedly and can’t wait to see more secrets exposed as the series continues.

Tinsley is a bit of a wounded soul and watching her unravel her hang ups and finally start to let Cody in is rewarding.

Cody is sweet and stable, but his past left wounds he isn’t quick to get over.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a romance filled with familial drama as sibling after sibling finds their way to forever.

Escape with Her Greek Tycoon by Michelle Douglas
Published by Harlequin Romance on March 29, 2022
Buy on Amazon

A taste of the forbidden…

Under the Mediterranean sun!

As long as hotelier MJ can remember, dangerously attractive tycoon Nikos has been strictly off-limits because the scars of their families’ feud run deep. Now MJ needs to track down her wayward sister, and he’s the only person who can help! They're alone together, and tensions run high as they both fight the inevitable chemistry. But when MJ sees the real man behind the guarded mask, she realizes he’s worth risking it all for!

An electrifying forbidden romance! Michelle Douglas shines in ESCAPE WITH HER GREEK TYCOON as a journey to healing and forgiveness makes way for familiar expectations and love at all cost. The characters were highly enjoyable and the emotional depth was spot on. I highly enjoyed MJ and Nikos!

MJ is a giving soul who loves deeply and invests all of herself in others.

Nikos is willing to transform the man he thought he was into the man worthy of this special lady once they narrow down the details of who is trustworthy in the past.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys an emotional love story filled with family drama, tender connections and the will to be together through anything.
