Everyone talks about finding the one that makes their heart skip a beat.

Personally, I’m not looking to develop any heart problems.

I definitely don’t have to worry about developing any when it comes to the one man who knows how to get on my every nerve.

Odin Mayer is the most offensive, black-hearted, no-good, very-bad, surliest man I’d ever met.

He was Grumpy with a capital G, a biker to boot, and never missed a chance to make me see red.

Just as I’m convinced there’s no good side to Odin, he shows me differently, saving me when I didn’t ask him to.

And, of course, I have to spend the next few weeks with him after we both get chosen for the same trial to perform our civic duty.

Jury duty was not on my Bingo card.

Nor was falling for the jerkoff.

But there I was, somehow lingering in the middle space between fuck you and I want to fuck you.

Odin knew what he was doing, too.

Teasing and taunting me at every turn.

Then he had to go out of his way to be a hero, and I forgot that I was supposed to stay away.

 

The next reformed convict meets his match! With the sixth book in Vale’s Don’t Date Him series, we get Odin’s story and it’s a powerful one. He wronged to redeem a worse wrong made by the court system, then benefitted from Apollo’s helping hand when he freed several convicts, faked their death and helped set them up with new lives and identities. Constance is desperate for help for her daughter and Odin secretly helps without knowing them until happenstance brings about a meeting and life throwing them together brings on a romance. I enjoyed both characters and her daughter was a cutie. Looking forward to more to come in the series.

I highly recommend this book as well as the other books in the series to anyone who likes to see a wrong made right even if it’s not exactly on the up and up. Powerful stories, awesome love connections and many heartwarming friendships along the way.

It was a terrible idea to agree to protect my enemy’s sister…

The second she stepped out of her brother’s car, I knew she was a wildfire.
Spitting mad and so stunning she stole my breath.
She thinks her brother made a deal with the devil, and by working for me, she’s paying off his debt.

She doesn’t know the real reason she’s here.
Doesn’t know the danger that surrounds her.
Soon, she realizes there is something sinister lurking in the shadows.

She hates me for keeping her in the dark.
I want to hate her back, but with every sassy thing that fires from her mouth, she gets deeper under my skin.
With each heated glance, I feel myself losing control.
And when I crawl into bed with her, I combust.

I know better than thinking I can keep her. My life is nothing but secrets and peril.
But as outside threats begin to infiltrate, I’ll do anything to keep the oath I made to keep her safe.
Even expose her to the monster that I am…

 

Attention grabbing lust and danger! Jackson is back with a much anticipated spin-off series that shows us familiar faces from her beloved Redemption Hills and Moonlight Ridge series and I was loving every minute of it. Silas is the head of the Crimson Crows MC and Brinley is the sister of an enemy, so having her holed up with his MC and family is bringing a whole lot of trouble to Crimson Creek. The characters both have a powerful backstory that we learn details of as the storyline progresses and each have their own allegiance that they have to accept before being able to move forward with their attraction. It’s a bit of a slow burn, but the angsty desire is there from the start. His family really enriches the backdrop of the entire story and I loved them all. Really enjoyed how it all played out and the twists we were never expecting. I’m looking forward to Elena’s story!

I highly recommend this book as well as the previous two series that play into it a bit to anyone who enjoys a close knit group of guys who are living for the sake of bettering the unbearable situations that their past has shined a light on.
