Book Review: A Biker's Tiny Present (Rebel Vipers MC/Thirteen Bikers for Christmas) by Jessa Aarons

 

Blurb: 

Riley

My sister kept her baby daddy a secret, but I have my suspicions and won't stop until I find her and my nephew. I don't know exactly who I'm looking for, but I know where he is - the Rebel Vipers MC clubhouse - I hope.

Taylor took off, left her son with his father, and I'm stuck picking up the pieces. Fighting my attraction to the older, tattooed, grumpy biker, while wanting to take my nephew home and keep him all to myself, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. It's a hard pill to swallow realizing I can't do it all on my own. He's my only help to find where Taylor ran off to.

Tiny is distracting and oh-so tempting, and the way he looks at his son, I melt. I want to protect myself, but it doesn't take much for him to start knocking down the walls around my heart, piece by piece.


Tiny

It's not every day you find out you have a baby, a son, but today I did. A baby. My baby. A boy who steals my heart in seconds. But where is his mother?

A blonde tornado on a mission shows up demanding to know where her nephew is, only to find him in my arms. I had no idea my one night stand from over a year ago had a sister, but Riley and her fiery temper sweep me up so fast, not even Lucifer himself would walk away unscathed. Little does she know I have danced with the devil, and luckily for me, the dark angel and I are well acquainted. He leads her right to me.

Building her trust is going to take work, but I've never been a quitter. If my time in the Marines taught me anything, it's that you never go down without a fight. One piece at a time . . . I will make this vixen mine.


** A Biker's Tiny Present is a Christmas standalone story set within the Rebel Vipers MC series. It can be read on its own, but for those who enjoy following the RVMC series in order, Tiny and Riley's journey is best read after Top of the Mountain/book 5.
Happy Reading! Love, Jessa **

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This was my first book by Jessa Aarons. I really enjoyed it. Riley stood by her sister and nephew until they both disappeared. Tiny became an instant dad when Nicky was delivered to him. This brought Riley into his life, and he never looked back. I loved the instant connection between Tiny and Nicky and Tiny and Riley. They had their steamy moments, even some sad moments. It was great to see Riley accepted into the MC without any problems. I highly recommend this book and look forward to catching up with this club.

Book Review: Zohar (A Wolf's Hunger #3) by A.K. Michaels

 

Blurb: 

Zohar Drake is the Council's most feared Enforcer...with a soul that's shrouded in a darkness he keeps hidden from everyone. 

The deeds he's been forced to carry out for the Council have left him scarred and tormented...both man and beast. When the Hunger strikes he's under no illusions...it has to be one of his many enemies seeking revenge and inflicting some magical spell over him. 

There is no chance in Hell that the Goddess would send him a soulmate...he doesn't deserve one. Not with the blackness he hides inside. His best friend, Danko, has other ideas, and on a mission, he sees the chance to help his friend. All he has to do is manipulate Zohar and keep his head attached to his body at the same time...not an easy feat.
 
Has the Goddess sent a mate to free Zohar from his tortured soul? Or is this a cruel twist of fate that will send him to the brink of madness and lead him to the place he's dispatched so many other Shifters to...the Council's infamous prison? 

A Wolf's Hunger...it can't be stopped...even if you're the strongest Enforcer that's ever lived. Another exciting addition to New York Times Bestselling Author A K Michaels' Shifter Romance series which is filled with excitement, thrills, and hot Alpha males.
 
Buy Zohar now to find out if this dark Enforcer can win the toughest battle of his life...or does he fall beneath the might of the Hunger and sink to the depths of madness?

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars. I enjoyed this story. Zohar was sent to get control of an Alpha who was abusing his females. He denied the hunger as something within. Maisy was so soft and mousy to start. With the connection between them, she became a stronger woman. I loved how their wolves admitted they were mates before the human side caught up. There were a couple tearful moments as well as some steamy ones. I look forward to trying to catch up on this series.

Book Review: Biker Under My Tree (Thirteen Bikers for Christmas) by Winter Travers

 

Blurb: 

Snow Haggar is up to her elbows in cookie dough, juggling a booming holiday baking season that’s busier than ever. Right when she needs all hands on deck, her helpers for baking and deliveries fall through and leave her scrambling to keep up with the mountain of orders piling up. Enter Bones, her leather-clad, tattooed neighbor with a talent for custom bikes and a roguish grin that’s as distracting as the view she has of him from her kitchen window.

Seeing her struggle, Bones offers his help—along with the muscle of his biker friends—to get her orders out before Christmas. As they race to make deliveries together, the sparks between them burn hotter than her oven, and Snow begins to wonder if her sweetest holiday treat might just be Bones himself.

This Christmas, Snow’s getting more than she bargained for—because Santa might’ve just delivered the perfect biker under her tree.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

I was really drawn into this story. Not as heavy as most MC stories but full of fun, love, and friendship. Snow had her hands full with the holiday orders and down helpers. She was determined enough to try and do it on her own. Her acceptance of all the help offered showed her strength of character. The attraction between Snow and Bones was instant. I loved that there was no "breakup moment" and that love and friendship was fully on display. Loved it!

A phone call from a ghost from her past changes everything, and she is forced to leave her loved ones behind to rescue Kataryna, a beautiful and mysterious woman who once saved her life, and who is now ensnared in the clutches of a sex slavery ring in Manhattan.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

This was interesting. I enjoyed the two separate missions that ended up coming together. Jade was helping out someone from her past who ended up in the sex trade. Mark got suckered into meeting with an accountant with information the Government wanted. Trying to stay alive, Mark got the information needed and got to help out Jade. I loved all the sneaking around, secret transportation, and more. It was a fun ride.

Book Review: If You Lie by Caleb Stephens

 

Blurb: 

GET READY FOR ONE OF THE MOST PULSE-POUNDING THRILLERS YOU'LL READ THIS YEAR.

A buried past. A new-age cult. A floating prison with no way off.

Seven years ago, Olivia woke up in the trunk of a stranger’s car—and barely escaped with her life. She’s been looking over her shoulder ever since.

Now, Olivia is a true-crime podcaster on a mission to help other women avoid her fate. But years spent covering violence and crime have left her burned out. So when Olivia’s estranged sister Quinn invites her to reconnect on an exclusive cruise, she jumps at the chance for a break…only this trip won’t be the relaxing vacation she’s hoping for.

The ship is elegant, the meals are divine, and the people are friendly—maybe too friendly. But Quinn isn’t the sister Olivia remembers. And strange things are starting to happen that echo Olivia's past in unsettling ways.

When someone on the ship goes missing, Olivia realizes she’s playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse. Only this time, she might not survive.

If You Lie is an adrenaline-soaked thriller you won't be able to tear through fast enough.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This story had me guessing all the way along. The cult-like atmosphere on the boat was a bit creepy. All the interactions with good and bad people were intriguing. With revenge, spite, and more behind the reasons for the new people being brought in, I did not quite expect some of the outcomes. I was drawn into the story and got caught up in the events.

Teaser: Snow River (Firelight Ridge #4) by Jennifer Bernard

Snow River by Jennifer Bernard releases on December 3rd!

https://geni.us/SnowRiver

Available on All Platforms

In Firelight Ridge, Lila Romanoff's unusual intuitive abilities have stayed (mostly) silent -- until now. When she starts having dream conversations with a murdered local, it’s time to skedaddle. But she only gets as far as the overlook on Snow River before she can’t go any farther, and it’s not just because she runs out of gas (don’t ask). Her gut literally won’t let her leave. Maybe it’s her feelings for her huge hunk of a boss at the local bar. Or maybe it’s the mystery about to unfold around the dead woman on the banks of the river below…

Bear Davis always knew his employee would flit out of town sooner or later. Lila is sunshine itself, and with winter fast approaching, he’s not surprised she’s ready to take her light elsewhere…but he’s also not about to object when she abruptly decides to stay. And when she starts digging into the recent murder on Snow River? Well, as an ex-cop (don’t ask), there’s no one better suited to make sure she stays safe while they nose around.

When the recent death appears connected to a decades-old murder spree that involved Lila’s dream visitor, everything seems to point back to Snow River. As Bear and Lila follow clues that include local lore, old gossip, and even mysterious pranks, the couple gets closer and closer. Both to each other…and to an explosive truth someone will do anything to keep hidden deep in the wilds of Alaska.

SWEET SURPRISES

All this single dad wants is a quiet Christmas, but he’s in for a sweet surprise…

Charlotte Kendrick is thrilled when her best friend invites her to run the family ice cream shop in small-town Sugarville Grove. She’s had a rough year with a bad break-up and a terrible loss. But Charlotte isn’t going to let that dampen her spirits. She’s determined to have fun, finish the things she starts, and avoid falling for another guy – especially her best friend’s grumpy, gorgeous older brother.

Tag Lawrence has buried himself in his work on the family dairy farm and his fierce love for his kids ever since losing his wife years ago. People might say he’s a grump, but he’d rather focus on his energetic five-year-old son and increasingly reserved thirteen-year-old daughter than worry about the world outside Lawrence Farm.

But when an early freeze and a burst pipe leave the pretty new manager of the dairy’s ice cream shop out in the cold, Tag feels obliged to offer her a home for the holidays. The upbeat young woman connects with his kids in a way that makes his chest ache, but Tag knows he will never allow himself to fall in love again. And he definitely can’t even think about getting involved with his little sister’s best friend, no matter how much her smiles make him feel like something is awakening in his heart.

Nothing short of a Christmas miracle could bring these two together. It’s a good thing they’re in Sugarville Grove this holiday season.

UNEXPECTED GIFTS

Abigail Parker just wants to get through the holidays, but fate has other plans...

After a year of unexpected twists, Abigail finds herself in the small town of Sugarville Grove, Vermont, as the guardian of her late cousin’s two young children. Leaving behind her bustling city life and dream job at a veterinary practice, Abigail’s only goal is to adjust to her new responsibilities and figure out how to be the mother they need. Falling for her rugged, no-nonsense neighbor is definitely not part of the plan.

Luke Hayes has his hands full raising his lively four-year-old daughter, Lily, while managing his family’s maple syrup farm. With his heart still scarred from being abandoned by Lily’s mother, Luke has sworn off romance. But when a broken fence and a mischievous dog bring Abigail into his life, he starts to wonder if maybe love isn’t as far out of reach as he thought.

As the holiday lights sparkle and the snow falls, Abigail and Luke find themselves drawn together, despite their differences. But with Abigail adjusting to her new life and Luke determined to protect his heart, it will take more than a little Christmas magic to bring them together.
