Audiobook Review: Property of Vex (Kings of Anarchy MC: Alaska #2) by Kathleen Kelly, narrators Lucy Rivers and Daniel Wisniewski

 

Blurb: 

In Alaska’s brutal wilderness, monsters hunt in the dark.
One of them wants Tessa and the other refuses to let her go.
She never expected to fall for a biker, especially one with fangs.
But danger is coming… and Vex is the only thing more terrifying than what’s after her.

TESSA
Crystal Creek, Alaska is supposed to be quiet.
Normal.
Safe.
But nothing about the Kings of Anarchy MC is normal, especially Ezekiel “Vex” Black, the silent VP who comes into Betty’s Café every morning and never says more than a few words.
I used to like him.
Until the night I saw his eyes turn white.
That’s when I learned the truth:
Vex is a vampire.
Deadly. Inhuman. Impossible to outrun.
Now I keep their secrets to protect the town… and myself. But when Hannah Greer shows up to drag me to the Kings’ clubhouse, I know my time hiding is over. Something ancient is hunting me in the Alaskan wilderness, and the only person standing between me and whatever’s coming is the man I’m terrified to face.

VEX
Tessa has no idea I’ve been watching her for years.
Protecting her.
Wanting her.
She thinks the worst thing she ever saw was my eyes going white.
She’s wrong.
There’s a reason I’ve kept my distance.
If I touch her, I won’t stop.
But when Blade brings her into the clubhouse—scared, stubborn, and already marked by something old and hungry—I know one thing for certain:
She’s not facing this alone.
She can fear the vampire in me all she wants.
But she’s mine to protect.
Mine to claim.
Mine—whether she’s ready or not.

PROPERTY OF VEX
A gritty, supernatural MC romance set in the brutal wilds of Alaska.
Vampires, secrets, obsession, and a love that bites back.

Motto:

Nobody fucks with the Kings

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

I truly enjoyed this MC of many different shifters. Tessa became the target of something ancient, and she was pulled into the MC world for help. She was strong, intelligent, and somewhat surprised to find out about her ancestors. Vex was drawn to Tessa but tried to resist. When she came to the MC for protection, Vex became very possessive. He was so hesitant because of his past but couldn't stop the pull. As they all fought to save themselves and the world, my emotions were up and down. Enjoyed this story.
The narrators, Lucy Rivers and Daniel Wisniewski, did a great job putting life into these characters. I felt the tension, the emotions, and the love as the story moved along.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This was a great introduction to the Grave Prowlers in Missouri. I felt for Cecelia and was proud of how she tried to stay in control. Her love for her sister helped her rise above. Also her instant trust in Torrent showed she was a true survivor and able to move forward. Torrent did not hesitate when he received Cecelia's call, and I enjoyed the protectiveness from him as well as the entire MC. There were steamy love scenes and a whole lot of support for Cecelia and her sister. At times, I actually had tears. Well worth the read.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This was a cute story. I enjoyed Vic as he learned about golf. Then he found himself on his own, but he chose to explore. He found more like him and came up with a wonderful idea to be "found" again. This was a wonderful family read or bedtime story.

ANGSTY MFM ROMANCE ALERT

Sparrow 

by Quinn Marlowe 

Now live!

https://geni.us/Sparrow

TWO DANGEROUS MEN. ONE BROKEN GIRL. AND A PROMISE SHE NEVER SAW COMING.

None of this was planned.

One moment I’m eating dinner with friends, and the next I’m kidnapped and dumped in a town I’ve never heard of. Where I know no one.

Then I see a face I recognize. One I’ve known my whole life… and never expected to see again.

My mother’s stepbrother. The one I was never allowed to talk to.

Head of the local motorcycle club, Mars Hawke is rough enough to run it with an iron fist. And he takes one look at me, lost and terrified, and claims me as his own. He’s possessive and dangerous, yes. But also playful.

Devoted.

When he brings his best friend into the picture, I find his complete opposite. Orion is dark. Brooding. Tattooed and silent and the ultimate temptation. If Mars is wildfire, Orion is the darkness after it burns.

They’re both deadly and far too dangerous for someone like me, but when trouble suddenly catches up with me, they jump to my rescue, and I’m faced with a choice.

My instinct is to give myself up. Save the men I’ve come to love. But these men touch me like I’m precious. Like I’m everything they’ve ever wanted. Like I’m worth saving.

And when they say they’ll burn the mountain down before giving me back… I believe them.

Because I’ve never felt so safe before. Like I’m finally seen.

Finally home.

If I can choose to let them keep me.

If they’ll choose to keep me as well.

Sparrow is the third book in the Hawke’s Wood series, and is why choose, small-town romance that features step-uncle, step-uncle’s best friend, motorcycle club, protective heroes, touch her and die, found family, forced proximity, hidden identity, trauma healing, age gap, angst, and enough spice to make you want a Mars and Orion of your very own.

About Quinn:

Quinn Marlowe is a writer of girls with bad ideas and the men who have to save them. She doesn't believe in simple plots or clean endings... and she loves a good cliffhanger.

She's not sorry for that. 

She's a fan of red wine, cheesecake, perfect hash browns, and really good punk rock. She’s also obsessed with everything piratical—though she refuses to acknowledge any actual connection to pirates. She studied English and Film at UCLA and, when forced to choose a career, chose publishing rather than teaching or being a filmmaker. Quinn lives in San Diego with her dogs, the ducks that moved into the front yard, and far too many cats.

When she's not writing, you can find her riding her horse or playing villain in someone else's story. And she's not sorry about that, either.

Ebook Review: Miss Wylde and the Wynd (The Wynd Brothers #2) by Jane Charles

 

Blurb: 

A wayward spinster. A gentleman determined to set things right. An attraction too tempting to ignore.

Lord Damian Wynd had control of his world and his life. As the second born, it was his responsibility to manage the family import business, Trade Wynd. His days were spent on the docks overseeing the unloading of ships or in his offices not far away, which left Damian with little else in his life. An emptiness gnawed at him, but he had no time to determine the cause, let alone fill it. Nor was it as important as keeping order of all he supervised. However, his carefully balanced world is soon overturned when he spies a young woman sneaking away from one of their newly arrived ships.

Miss Georgiana Wylde had always had an adventurous soul, though limited in what she could pursue, grounded, intelligent, and knew what was expected of her. However, when her sister disappears in pursuit of an English rogue, Georgie must go after her before all is ruined, although she fears that it may be too late.

Damian’s first intention is to send Georgie back from whence she came, but her determination and fear for her sister pulls at something deep in his chest that might very well be his heart.

Georgiana had not expected that the most difficult and pragmatic gentleman in all of England would come to her aid. Further, she does not even like him, nor does he care for her. Yet, as their search takes them from the docks in Southampton throughout England and beyond, she finds herself coming to care, even love, the one gentleman who should be completely wrong for her.

• Unconventional Heroine
• Fake marriage

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars. To start, I loved Georgie's determination to save her sister from a similar situation to what she herself experienced. She wanted to do it with or without help and then return home with her sister. This brought her into Damian's world. He was surly and grudgingly agreed to accompany her to keep her safe. His actions showed his true feelings. I enjoyed all the twists and journeys these two experienced as the hunt continued and the heat between them rose. There were steamy moments as well as romantic ones. An entertaining story.

I received an ARC, and this is my unsolicited review.

https://geni.us/LifeorDeath

The devil doesn't ask for permission, and he never begs for forgiveness.

Lucifer

Wielding the gavel for the Fallen Demons MC means I take what I want. And Jessica is no exception. 

The moment I laid eyes on her, something raw and primal awakened within me. She was young, beautiful, and desperate to outrun her past. And I was the selfish bastard who needed to possess every curve of her body and own all the jagged edges of her soul.

My recklessness nearly destroyed her, so I did everything in my power to make it right. Now she sees me as a monster who has trapped her in a lie. 

I've kept my distance, watching from the shadows while she tries to heal. Jessie's gone to hell and back, and every time she looks in the mirror all she sees are reminders of the pain. Her mother's mistakes. My betrayal. Her brand new scars. 

She wants to let the darkness consume her, but I didn't watch her fight for her life just to throw it all away. And I won't rest until the woman I've claimed can see herself through my eyes. As a goddess. A warrior. A siren. The woman I secretly call my wife.
