C.M. Stunich-Craving Me, Desiring You (Triple M #4)

Austin and Amy have had a whirlwind romance – sexy biker boy meets innocent Southern girl. But relationships grow and change, and the true test of love is seeing if it can roll with the punches. As President of Triple M, Austin has a lot of new responsibilities. The club is transitioning from their nomadic lifestyle and just in time, too.

Austin may have more to worry about than just motorcycles, madness, and money. Something new, something blue, and something...else... And it's not just Beck and Tease's exciting news that's getting to him. Austin Sparks has never been a single woman man and now, it's looking like he's forever going to be.

Austin loves Amy, but can he make the ultimate commitment? And at the same time demons are howling around, threatening to tear their new security apart? The past has a way of catching up with us, and Triple M has its fair share of devils. Broken Dallas and Bested by Crows aren't convinced that revenge is a dish best served cold. Not by a long shot.

It would be a shame if Amy had to pay the ultimate price for it.

{4 stars}
This has never been your typical MC series. They were a nomadic bunch, so there was no "clubhouse" drama, womanizing parties, etc. But they did get into a lot of usual MC trouble with other MC's. That being said, I'm sure it is always difficult to end a series, when do you let it go because it will become stale and boring. Or do you end it before the whole story is really told (in the readers opinion). I think this one ended at just the right time, there really isn't much more you can do with this one except give us a couple more "couples". And I think that would have pushed it into boring. As it was I didn't quite "buy" this one. As much as I love Austin, Amy and the crew, it just seemed forced in some way. The down home southern sayings and "sugar" endearments was a little to much for me, it didn't work. And the constant war with the other merged MC was a lost cause set on repeat. Liked it, didn't love it, but it does give the reader a nice tidy ending that everyone will enjoy.

Callie Hart-Burn (Blood and Roses #3)

Please be aware that this is a Dark Romance novel and deals with serious themes, including violence and murder.

Sloane

I’m not safe.
I haven’t been safe for a while now.

I ran to Zeth for protection, but Zeth is in danger himself. With Julio on one side, and the leader of the Widow Makers MC on the other, the smartest thing to do would be to run. I’ve been running long enough, though.

This is the closest I’ve come to finding my sister in two years. I can’t back down now.

Zeth

My right hand man’s being tortured in the basement.
The guy who tried to buy Sloane’s virginity is burning rubber in our direction.
My psychotic boss is on a mission to find me, and the girl I’m supposed to be keeping safe has landed herself right in the middle of all of this.

Just another breezy weekend in the Californian desert.

What could possibly go wrong in the next 48 hours?

{5 stars}
Callie Hart is killing me with this cliff hanger, and it's not really your typical cliff hanger. I just desperately need to know what happens next with Zeth and Sloane....

"Zeth is dangerous in a primal, instinctive way. It's just who he is. It's the foundation of everything that makes him him."

We left off in the second book with everyone converging on the brothel in the desert. All kinds of secrets start coming out and we get to know more of Zeth's history. We get to see Zeth's walls crack just a little bit towards Sloane. He's letting her in, he may not want to, but she's there. She fights with him, and doesn't ask the usual things women ask of him. That's appealing and scary for him all at the same time. I just love this series! Zeth is so Alpha, he's scary and sexy all rolled up in one bad ass character. And Sloane is just as strong a character to stand up to him when needed and woman enough to bend to his will when it suits her. Great Chemistry. Can't wait for the next one!

Callie Hart-Fracture (Blood and Roses #2)

Zeth Mayfair is pretty much the very last thing I need in my life. And yet with every breath I take he becomes more engrained in every aspect of it:

He has a key to my house.

He knows where I work.

He dumped his strange, mentally traumatized housemate on my doorstep and has driven off into the sunset in search of my missing sister.

I want to forget him. Want to change the locks and blot out his face, scourge his very name from my memory. The problem is that I also need him. I need him more than I need air to breath, and I can’t be without him now.


{5 stars}

"You may think you have been ready to beg, to straight up murder to feel someone inside you, but until you've had this.....
until Zeth Mayfair is on his knees...."


Zeth Mayfair has just topped out as one of my top 3 book boyfriends! This series just keeps getting better. There is nothing fluffy and romantic about Zeth and Sloane, their story is completely raw. I don't know how else to say it. Yeah there are mob bosses, violence, secrets, and truckloads of emotional childhood baggage. But they work, they are like 2 magnets that can't possible stay away from each other. And when they collide with each other (and not always in a bed), it's explosive and captivating. Each move they make just makes me want to know how this will all end. And I'm just hoping they all come out alive and with some semblance of an HEA.

Callie Hart-Deviant (Blood and Roses#1)

Sloane

I'm not proud of the things I've done.
The things I've had to do.
The things I've given away.
but I'd give it all over again to find her.
Even if i die trying,
I have to find Alexis.

Zeth

She wants me to help her,
But I won't.
She wants me to save her sister,
But I can't.
She wants me to be her hero,
But I'm not a good man.

I am her damnation.


{5 stars} 18+


"He bites down on his bottom lip, tugging between his teeth, 
and I know I'm ruined. I'm ruined for every other man 
on the face of the planet"

I'm completely mesmerized by this book, hook, line, and deviant. It may seem that Sloane fall a little to easily, but when you have someone as dominant and irresistible as Zeth. You just seem to melt into him and do whatever he asks, because you know he will please you when he is pleased. Sick huh? But weirdly hot too, can't wait to see how this all plays out.

Lili St. Germain-Four Score (Gypsy Brothers #4)

Love and hate aren’t all that different.
Two sides of the same coin, the yin and the yang.

Once upon a time, Jason Ross loved me. And now that he knows what I’ve done, I see the love and the hate warring within him.

I see the way he looks at me.
The way he wonders how I could do the things I’ve done.
I hear it in the way he begs me to stop, to leave this life and run away with him.

But there’s only one way I’m leaving LA.
And that’ll be when Dornan and the rest of his sons are dead and buried.
Jase might forgive me for what I’ve done.
But will he forgive me for the crimes I’m yet to commit?

{5 stars}

What are you doing to me? Just when we get the glimpse at what could be with Jase you rip the rug out from under us again. Lili St. Germain, you are the new reigning queen of cliff hangers!

Unlike with the first 3 books, we are at a point where Julz "Sammi" has to wait out the results of her bomb attempt on Dornan. So we don't have any active death attempts going on. But while we are waiting Julz and Jase are coming to terms with what happened to both of them and the fallout afterwards. So much turmoil, we now get to find out just a small part of what happened to Jase after her "death". How are they ever going to be able to be happy with each other? So much damage, but first they both have to live thru what comes next......

Darynda Jones-Sixth Grave on the Edge (Charley Davidson #6)

Adult Paranormal Romance-17+

Few things in life can come between a grim reaper and her coffee, but the sexy, sultry son of Satan is one of them. Now that Reyes Farrow has asked for her hand, Charley Davidson feels it's time to learn more about his past, but Reyes is reluctant to open up. When the official FBI file of his childhood abduction lands in her lap, Charley decides to go behind her mysterious beau’s back and conduct her own investigation. Because what could go wrong?

Unfortunately, another case has fallen into her lap—one with dangerous implications. Some very insistent men want Charley to hunt down a witness who is scheduled to testify against their boss, a major player in the local crime syndicate. If Charley doesn't come up with an address in 48 hours, the people closest to her will start to disappear.

Add to that a desperate man in search of the soul he lost in a card game, a dogged mother determined to find the ghost of her son, and a beautiful, young Deaf boy haunted by his new ability to see the departed as clearly as he sees the living, and Charley has her hands full. The fact that Reyes has caught on to her latest venture only adds fuel to the inferno that he is. Good thing for Charley she's used to multi-tasking and always up for a challenge…especially when that challenge comes in the form of Reyes Farrow.

{5 stars}

Charley Davidson's life is just exhausting, if she didn't have an overwhelming amount of coffee, the world would never hear the end of it. Add in that she has the hottest, and most dangerous,  boyfriend on the planet, and you have one funny, super hot, roller coaster ride! I just can't get enough of this series. It's devastating when the book ends, and I have to wait for what feels like forever for the next one.

Unless you have read this series, you won't understand when I say "Here we go again". Naked departed riding around in her jeep. New clients needing "things" found. New players in the whole "end of the world" thing. And everyday things in life like teenage love, bedroom walls missing, and life n death drama. Oh, and did I say she has the hottest boyfriend on the planet? Reyes has been asking her to marry him for some time now, want to know what she said? HaHa, not telling! But I will tell you they give us enough "dream" worthy scenes to carry us on for a while.
And the whole end of the world thing......well, there are some new surprises that will definitely change the game.
