Brick:
Fifteen years ago, I lost my best friend, my sponsor, and the man I was proud to call a brother.
He was gunned down in the middle of the street on a Sunday afternoon.
A hit by a rival club as he rode toward his daughter on her thirteenth birthday.
Three miles from home, he missed her party and a pivotal moment in her life.
She never got to say goodbye.

Now, all these years later, we meet up again.
A snowstorm and a canceled flight in Denver put her in my path as I arrived at the airport to help my club brother.
I offer her a ride, and since it's her only option of arriving home safely, she accepts.
But we're targeted and followed, and nearly killed.
I manage to get her home safely for the holidays, only to kidnap and bring her to a safe house.

Ginny is mine.
I've claimed her and fallen hard for the sexy, curvy redhead.
I won't risk her safety. She's got to stay in hiding until I can deal with the threat.
But she's got secrets, and so do I.
Ginny doesn't know that I was the one who found her father, Hesh, in his last moments.
I made a promise to protect her, to get vengeance for the men who stole Ginny's father from her.
And if I have to ride into hell to do it, I will.

This is not a standalone. It's highly recommended to read My Christmas Biker first.

 

Action packed with emotion and suspense! This book was a bit of a conundrum for me. I read the prequel My Christmas Biker first and absolutely loved Brick and Ginny and the kickoff to their story. From that book, I believed him to be a part of the Saints Outlaws MC and this book was going to be the continuation of their story and book one in a that series, but this book says he’s a member of Desert Titans MC and ends up rolling into the middle of another MC series … this one with a tad of a paranormal vibe which the first one was not. I was really disappointed with that because I would have gotten familiar with that MC’s prior books before reading this one had I known that … but whatever. The characters are well developed and endearing. I really enjoyed them as a whole and look forward to seeing more of them if I dive back in with this group of bikers. There was intense situations, sadness and lots of drama to sink your teeth into throughout. I wanted a bit more development of their life together, but overall it was a solid read and I enjoyed their story.

LEVI:
My relationship with Juniper is all fun and games until my heart enters the equation.

I'm a rookie pro hockey center who's touted to be a future star in the league. I have a rep to uphold as a player on and off the field. Along comes Junie. She's six years older than me, and there's something to be said about older being better. She's unlike any other woman I've dated, but therein lies the problem. I'm not relationship material. When my battered heart becomes involved, I cut and run. Call me a coward, and you'd probably be right. Caring about someone gives them power to do irreparable damage, and I vow to never again allow anyone that kind of control.

JUNIPER:
Ever since the divorce from my abusive husband I've been playing the field - and loving it. I'm not interested in a relationship, only a good time. Levi and I have a casual situation that suits us both until out of the blue Levi ends it. I've always been able to bounce back and move on, but this time, I can't stop thinking about him and how good we were together. Regardless, he did me a favor. I'm starting a new career as the team chef. I can't afford distractions and he's a huge one. Now I'm forced to see him every day. When he suggests we get back together, I resist on the surface, but deep-down I want him so badly I can't think straight. Still, I have other problems to tackle. Someone's sabotaging my position with the Sockeyes, and I'm certain I know who it is.

Despite my convictions to steer clear of Levi, I'm too weak, and we're barreling toward our fate at light speed. I'm not sure we'll survive the crash.

 

Fast paced and quite entertaining! The next book in The Scoring Series hockey romance centers on rookie Levi and Caro’s best friend Juniper. I was quickly hooked on both main characters because they each have an interesting back story that has made them the distrustful and aloof people they have been with each other so far. Once their initial situation ends and they are getting introspective with themselves, we learn more about each of them and understand them more. I liked the hint of suspense going on behind the scenes as well. The characters as a whole are well developed and the main plot kept me hooked, but I felt like many balls were left up in the air in an ending that could have been much more settled and powerful if some of those had been tied up more. Overall a really fun read with lots of angst.

Maverick Tate is a rock legend, a charismatic playboy… and the man I asked to marry me.

Waking up in Vegas with his ring on my finger should be the beginning of our happily ever after. Instead, it triggers memories I’ve tried to forget.

As buried trauma claws its way to the surface, our marriage spirals into something darker—and far more dangerous.

The threat from my past has returned and someone is watching me.

Maverick wants to protect me—fiercely, completely—but to keep me safe, he harbors secrets, crosses lines, and makes choices that leave me questioning everything.

Including him.

 

Emotional and addictive! The second book in Gina Azzi’s Dating the Drummer series which continues our love affair with The Burnt Clovers band brings turmoil to Mav and Kenny’s lives as they begin to unravel the recourse of their elopement in Vegas. She spirals a bit and pushes him away, and he doesn’t handle it well at all. The depth of emotion is intense in this portion of their story and I felt for both of them. I like the characters very much and I’m invested in them as the story moves on even though they both keep pushing the wrong buttons in each other. I’m looking forward to the conclusion in book three.
