Ebook Review: Claiming Crypt (Graven Bastards MC Tonopah #22) by Nikki Landis

 

Blurb: 

Crypt:
Five years ago, I got popped for assault and possession with a deadly weapon.
What the public records don't say is the reason.
I had to get justice for my younger sister.
Two years later, I'm waiting for her visit when a gorgeous blonde enters and snags my attention.
Fate decides to mess with me because not only is she inside when a riot breaks out, but she's also the daughter of the scariest outlaw in Ely State Prison: Hannibal, a Graven Bastards MC member.
When he's injured, and she's forced to defend herself, I step in.
And that's when I take a bullet to the stomach. For her.
It's also when I kiss her, promising to find her once I'm out.
I don't see her again, not until I'm in Vegas to visit a rodeo with only one mission: Find Rachel.
But she doesn't want another bad boy biker screwing up her life or the little girl I never knew she had.
It doesn't matter. She's already mine.
I'm relentless when I want something, and I crave Rachel.
I won't back down even when old enemies, an overprotective father, or fate itself tries to rip us apart.
She's already claimed me, and I won't stop hunting her until I've proved it.
Fate be damned because my Reaper isn't letting her go either.

Claiming Crypt is a dark romance that includes steamy scenes, biker slang, violence, and a paranormal REAPER twist. You'll find a possessive, protective outlaw who'll do anything to convince the woman he met during a prison riot that he's more than a criminal record and a feisty single mom who also happens to be the daughter of one of the most notorious bikers in Nevada. The series is best enjoyed when read in order.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars -

I enjoyed this story a lot. Crypt saved Rachel's life in a split moment, and then they don't see each other for a while. Rachel was a desperate mother trying to rescue her daughter, and finally called her father for help. Crypt never forgot Rachel, and when he sees her, he basically claims her. They went through a lot because of Rachel's ex, and the MC accepted both of them with open arms. I loved visiting this MC family.

Audiobook Review: Stay with Me (Dangerous Obsession #1) by Nikki Sloane, narrators June deBorahae, Ryan Hudson, and Chris Merlin

 

Blurb: 

When the spotlight turns deadly, survival becomes the performance of her life.

A single gunshot rings out, shattering Laurel Hayward’s debut as a professional dancer—and witnessing an assassination is only the beginning of her nightmare. The ruthless killer will stop at nothing to find her—determined to possess her or silence her forever.

Enter Deputy U.S. Marshal Jason Dunn: handsome, confident, and far too good at getting under Laurel’s skin. Keeping her alive is his job, but keeping his distance? Impossible. Alone in the secluded safe house, the line between duty and desire blurs into something too powerful to resist.

Laurel needs Jason to survive. Jason needs her to finally capture the ghost who’s haunted his career for years. But as their attraction ignites, the obsessed killer returns with a deadly final act . . .

And it could cost them everything.

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars. Laurel witnessed an assassination and got caught up in one man's obsession. Jason tried to protect her and stay professional, but the flame between them burned bright. He almost lost his job, but circumstances put a different plan in motion. Jason wanted to protect Laurel, and I loved how gruff he tried to be but softened for her. Laurel was able to face a lot of violence, yet could take action. The last bit of the story was entertaining even though I knew what was truly happening.
The narrators (June deBorahae, Ryan Hudson, Chris Merlin) did a great job. They had me feeling the emotions as well as the story.

I received an audiobook through Valentine PR, and this is my unsolicited review.

Blurb: 

I plan other people’s love stories for a living. Perfect nights. Perfect moments. Perfect control.

So when my guitarist cancels an hour before a high-profile event, I do what any professional would do—panic quietly and pray for a miracle.

Then he walks in.

Late. Soaked from the rain. Incredibly handsome. Unapologetically charming.

A man I absolutely shouldn’t notice.

He plays music like the storm outside taught him how to feel.

He saves the night. And without meaning to, he starts unraveling mine.

I don’t know that he’s a world-famous musician in hiding.

I only know that when he looks at me, the world stops spinning.

I build love stories for other people. It’s chaotic, but it’s always strategic, straight-forward.

But this time, the one falling—hard, fast, and completely unplanned—is me.

There’s no seating chart that can contain, or explain, the storm that is Dexter Vaughn. But maybe his humor, guitars, and big heart is exactly what I need to build my own breathtaking love story.

He was looking for love. She needed a defender. Together, they could have everything.

The death of Lady Cordelia's husband left her at the mercy of his cruel heir, a distant cousin who makes her an offer she has to refuse. Desperate to escape a dishonorable fate - and protect her stepdaughter - she accepts the first honorable offer of marriage that she receives – the powerful and stern Marquess of Dunbury. She was prepared to be the perfect, placid, accommodating wife… she never expected the passion and sinful pleasure her new husband brought to their wedding night.

The Marquess of Dunbury was enamored of Lady Cordelia from the moment he met her and laid his claim immediately. Once she's his, he can't keep his hands off her, even when they risk being caught during secret rendezvous just outside the ton's ballrooms. He sees everything she doesn't believe she is and he's going to make her see herself the way he does.

Everything would be perfect... except for one person who is determined to ruin Cordelia's newfound happiness.

Cal Hart walks a blurred line of honor. The rock-hard former Marine has his lethal skills at the service of the highest bidder.

Until a contract comes in to kill Lana Vanderpoel, the sultry heiress and billionaire's daughter. She's too damn sexy to end up at the wrong end of a silencer.

With her unfashionable red hair and generous curves, Lady Cecilia Edwards enters the marriage mart with modest hopes—a respectable gentleman, or perhaps a minor baron. But a moonlit stroll ends in ruin. To salvage her reputation, she must wed the last man she ever imagined: Andrew Ashwick, a wealthy, stunningly handsome viscount, and her older sister's suitor.

 

Cecilia fears she's destined to be forever second best in her new husband's eyes. Yet in the quiet of Andrew's country estate, she discovers a man both commanding and unexpectedly passionate. Laughter, tenderness, and stolen kisses begin to stir something deeper—something perilously close to love.

 

Tragedy and a sudden inheritance send them into the heart of London society. Thrust into the dukedom, Andrew faces the burdens of power while Cici becomes the target of alarming attacks. Is it her envious sister, cheated out of title and fortune, or Andrew's former mistress, unwilling to let him go? As gossip and betrayal threaten to tear them apart, Cici and Andrew must unmask the hand behind the danger—before jealousy, doubt, and duplicity destroy them both.

Author Bio:

Karen Renee is the author of the Riot Motorcycle Club, Beta, and O-Town series of books. She once crunched Nielsen ratings data but these days she brings her imagination to life by writing books. She has wanted to be a writer since she was very young, but it's taken the last twenty plus years for her to amass enough courage and overall life experience to bring that dream to life. Some of those life experiences came from the wonderful world of advertising, banking, and local television media research. She is a proud wife and mother, and a Jacksonville native. When she's not at the soccer field or cooking, you can find her at her local library, the grocery store, in her car jamming out to some tunes, or hibernating while she writes and/or reads books.

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars -

4 1/2 stars. I enjoyed this story. Ivy searched for her father and found Nickel/Ryan who kept her from him. Time passed, and then the adventure began. Ivy had not been prepared for what was coming, but I loved her acceptance of the circumstances but kept her mind on her job as well. She blended well with the MC. Ryan was very protective of Ivy, caring, and matter of fact when needed. Their journey was surrounded by family (nice to visit with earlier characters) and friends. I look forward to the next one in the series
