As the road captain for the MC, Hawk’s always worried about safety. But when the President tasks him with keeping his kids safe, he can’t say no. Hawk knows nothing about teenagers, especially girl, but he figures how hard can it be. He quickly realizes it’s harder than he ever thought, and the girls aren’t making it easy on him either.

It doesn’t take long before the principal takes notice, questioning Hawk about the girl’s safety. Veronica Hollifield catches Hawk’s eye with her stiletto heels, pencil skirt, and good girl vibes. And when she asks for a home visit, Hawk has other plans for her. He doesn’t want to just prove he’s doing his job, he wants to spend more time with the beautiful principal.

But when Veronica finds herself in danger, Hawk's the only man she can turn to. Hawk will do whatever it takes to protect the sexy principal, even if that means his own life.

And what starts out as simple attraction turns into a need to protect, undeniable chemistry, and a wild love that burns hotter than the sun.

Intensely passionate goodness! With the fourth book in her Hurricane Heat MC series Bliss is turning on the charm when Hawk meets high school principal Veronica and turns her life upside down. The characters were easy to like, I enjoyed their chemistry whole heartedly and enjoyed the personality mix. I wanted more development as a whole of their relationship through every day life and not just a short term situation to feel their depth completely. I also want more MC interaction in this series. They are there and are solid guys, but the amount of time of them interacting together is fairly light. Enjoying the series and looking forward to more to come.

Sloane
I spent fifteen months letting cancer define me. Now I'm hiking into the Montana wilderness to track down the author whose book kept me going in my darkest days and to prove I'm more than the girl everyone has to worry about.

The last person I expect to find me on the trail is the country music legend with a voice (and body) that wrecked me during two unforgettable nights in Nashville. Only I walked away from him because a man who lost his mother to cancer couldn’t possibly see a future with a woman still fighting it.

But Jensen Grant followed me into the mountains, and out here there's no more hiding.

Jensen
Sloane Winslow turned my world upside down then disappeared without even telling me her real name. Fourteen months later, I still haven't figured out how to forget her.

When I find out she's heading into the backcountry alone, I don't think twice. My whole life has been about taking care of people. It’s the only way I know how to matter.

But Sloane wants to save herself. And somewhere between shared tents and trail mix confessions, I realize the woman I came to protect might be the one who finally sees me as something more than what I can give.

I just have to convince her I'm worth the risk.

Satisfying, yet bittersweet to leave Skylark! With the final book in her beloved Skylark series, Major is bringing us the long awaited story of Sloane. I’ve been invested in this series since the very first page of book one, and it’s been an absolutely wonderful series filled with friendship, family and love in a smalltown. I’ve loved every minute I’ve spent with this core group of friends as they each found their happily ever after. I wish there were a few more of them so we could stick around longer! That said, Sloane’s storyline about chasing the author that inspired her fell flat for me. I loved her and I loved Jensen and their story was addictive and really enjoyable, but the veer away from the town that we’ve fallen so hard for was disappointing. I would have enjoyed more time with her and Jensen, more of seeing the improved connection with her brother and just more time of these wonderful friends basking in each other a little more. I’m sad to see them go.

I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves a close-knit group of friends who rally hard to love and support each other through thick and thin and cheer each other on as each one finds their forever love. I recommend reading the series in order so you can get the true feel of each couple and their journey.

When your world is always stormy, it's easy to hide from the sunshine...

Tyler
After all that I've been through, there's nothing I won't do to protect what matters most. I've devoted my life to this ranch and my son, and I promised I’d never let anyone get close enough to risk losing either one of them again.

But even the most disciplined man makes a mistake from time to time.
I didn't expect to see her again, so when Delaney reenters my life with news that scares us both, the safety I've carefully built for myself shatters. It was just one night of weakness, but now it ties us together forever. I've been down this road before, and I'm terrified of how the journey will end.

She's far too young to shoulder this burden alone, but the ranch is expanding, and there's no room for distractions. Delaney thinks she’s cursed to lose everyone she loves. I’m terrified that if I trust her, I’ll lose the son I’ve spent years shielding from the world. But the day our lives change forever is coming soon, and it's time for me to decide: do I keep guarding my heart like a fortress, or do I step up and be the man everyone needs me to be?

Highly addictive and endearing! The second book in E.C. Land’s Fallen Meadows series revolves around ranch manager Tyler and Mammon from the MC’s little sister Delaney. They were both interesting characters who were quick to draw me in with their backstories, and his kiddo sealed the deal of loving them to bits because he’s so adorable. The tension is high as each has their own drama they are dealing with as they meet, are instantly drawn to each other and finagle their way through the passion, angst and outside forces to find love and settle in for a lifetime of happiness. There were some spots that could have been filled in a tad more, but overall the characters were well developed and the storyline fast paced. I can’t wait to see what this series still has in store for us!
