Eagle lived for one thing…the club. But when the Disciples MC became defunct, he felt lost. Needing to hustle and make more money, he took a side-gig at a swanky event center to work security. The money was decent, but the boss…she was everything Eagle always wanted in a woman. He stayed for her and no matter how hard he tried to resist her; she had a pull over him like no other ever had. And when another man goes a little too far, he’ll do anything to keep her safe.

Lacey’s had one too many broken hearts. She decided she needed a break and wanted to focus on her work. She had her dream job, and everything started to go her way. Until her last boyfriend, who lied about being married, tries to get her fired. As her personal and business life collide, everything spirals out of control. Lacey’s doesn’t have much hope in men when a biker she’d hired steps in, having her back like no one else.

And what should’ve stayed a professional relationship takes them on a path they never expected, but neither one could stop. Can two broken hearts find love again?

Broken Hearts is the last book in the Open Road Series. It's a romantic suspense, opposites attract, later in life romance.

Temptingly delicious! The final book in Chelle Bliss’s Open Road series is filled with angst and drama as a sexy, forbidden connection draws our attention quickly and keeps us turning page after page to see if Eagle is going to get his happily ever after. The main characters are both super easy to like and the plot is intriguing while leaving ample attraction in the forefront to tempt us. I would have loved to see a bit more development of his relationships with the MC guys and showcasing who he is at heart, but overall I enjoyed both characters a lot. The ending was satisfying and a fitting wrap up for the series.

I recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a steamy love connection between two characters who put their heart and soul into living the life they’ve been handed and sweetening the pot as time goes by.

Rafferty by Sawyer Bennett
Series: Pittsburgh Titans #15
Published by Big Dog Books on January 14, 2025
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

Rafferty Abrams has been having the time of his life since joining the Pittsburgh Titans, but a poorly thought out one-night stand is about to cause unwanted drama with potentially serious repercussions.

As a member of the Pittsburgh Titans, I’m afforded a certain level of leniency in my behavior. The perks of being a celebrity, I suppose. But a run-in with my “one-night stand turned borderline stalker” has me crossing all sorts of lines with a beautiful but unsuspecting grocery store employee. When I surprise the complete stranger with a giant kiss and quiet plea to help a guy out, she not only plays along but gets my blood racing like I’ve never experienced before. Score one for Rafferty Abrams.

Temperence Martin isn’t just the stunning girl in the international foods aisle. Tempe is also a devoted daughter taking a break from college to help her mother as she heals from a serious accident. That includes making sure her younger brother stays on track with school and keeping everything running at home. To say she’s burning the candle at both ends is an understatement, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t see the spark in her eyes after our spontaneous make out session. That’s exactly what has me coming back for more, even if I use that pesky stalker as my excuse.

As we get to know one another, I realize a fake relationship just isn’t going to work. I want something other than a ruse, something real, and lucky for me, so does Tempe. But when my mistake of a hookup starts telling lies in retaliation for my alleged betrayal, things get messy. For me and for Tempe, who has found herself embroiled in a love triangle that doesn’t even exist. I can only hope Tempe isn’t scared away by the baggage I unintentionally brought to our relationship because the truth is, I saw my happily ever after with her the first time our lips met.

A feisty meet-cute leads to sexy seduction at it’s best! Bennett continues to delight her hockey fans with one hunky hero after another who manage to stumble upon the ideal woman for them and with her always entertaining Pittsburgh Titans series. This particular book had a playboy hero who fell fast once the right woman crossed his path. I really enjoyed Tempe and her family interaction. The characters were easy to like, their storyline was both fun and flirty and tinged with mischief and danger. I couldn’t have enjoyed them more and always look forward to another visit with this team!

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a tight-knit hockey team who have lots of angst behind them as each player finds his “one” and settles in to his happily ever after.

Track Her Down by Melinda Leigh
Series: Bree Taggert #9
Published by Montlake on January 14, 2025
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

For Sheriff Bree Taggert, a gruesome double murder exposes the secrets of the dead in a shocking novel of suspense ...

A teenager returns home from work and finds her parents shot to death in their bed. Responding to the call, Sheriff Bree Taggert realizes the crime wasn’t a burglary gone wrong. The couple was executed. The sole survivor: their traumatized teenage daughter, Claire Mason.

Bree teams up with investigator Matt Flynn to work the case, but together they uncover more questions than answers. When Claire is stalked at the park, it’s clear the killer isn’t finished—and she’s the next target.

As Bree and Matt sift through the past—suspect by suspect—a tangled web of deception emerges, and the truth becomes harder to see. Because the victims’ entire lives were a lie. And the only way to protect the vulnerable girl is to unravel her parents’ secrets.

Addictive and filled with exhilarating drama and heart! The ninth book in Leigh’s Bree Taggert series does not disappoint as the Sheriff is handed an epic mystery with twists around every corner. The case they are entrenched in this time hits close to home for Bree as memories from the past keep tormenting her as she races against time to keep a teen safe and figure out exactly what the motive in this madness really is. I wanted a smidge more from the home connection that is always so endearing in this series, but overall I really enjoyed the depth of emotion and strife throughout this story and look forward to more to come from Bree Taggert.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a strong feminine lead in a law enforcement storyline with a cast around her that always has her back and feels like family.
