Book Review: Biker Bitch (Hell on Heelz MC #2) by Morgan Jane Mitchell

 

Blurb

Dive into the Hell on Heelz MC series by USA Today Bestselling Author Morgan Jane Mitchell, where fierce female bikers rule the road and hearts of the men who dare to love them. Each STANDALONE novel revs up the heat, delivering a thrilling ride of passion, loyalty, and the tantalizing promise of forbidden love. Our reputation precedes us – we're known for riding hard and playing even harder, sometimes at the expense of men who can't keep up.

Plunge into the raw, uncharted territories of cross-club romance in the biker world. After the historic truce between the Seville Slayers and Hell on Heelz MC the road is rife with new possibilities and dangerous liaisons.

I'm Tank, known as the notorious biker bitch of Hell on Heelz MC. My life's been one hell of a ride, escaping abuse to become as tough as the steel I straddle. Swore off love. It’s just another road to pain. Then comes Boiler, Slayers’ enforcer. Ex-military, single dad, and carrying a storm of secrets as dark as mine. Our truce brought us together, revealing we're not so different. He thinks he can tear down my walls, but I'm not one to yield easily, not even to a man who mirrors the battles I've fought inside.

Boiler here, Seville Slayers' muscle, with scars from the past and a kid to raise alone. Life taught me to fight quietly, keep my demons under wraps. Then I met Tank, the embodiment of rebellion and resilience. She's got her own scars, hiding behind that biker bitch facade. Our unexpected connection, born from a fragile peace, stirs something in me, a need to reach her, and not just in the bedroom. I aim to share the load of our haunted pasts. She's wary, used to standing solo against the world, but I'm determined. Can I prove to her that together we can face anything, even the ghosts we've been running from?

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

Quite a steamy intriguing read. I had a hard time putting it down. Tank had found the strength to rise above her abusive past though her heart was sealed off. I loved her determination to be the best person she could be, her loyalty to her club and sisters, and her caring heart and softy insides. Along came Boiler who was gruff and in his own world of pain. He felt peace when he was with Tank despite the uneasy truce between their clubs. Toss in his son and these two found their way to an HEA.

Paperback Review: The Widow (Dry Bayou Brides #3) by Lynn Winchester

 

Blurb

Leo Watkins is an ill-tempered widower with a busy smithy to run and no desire to adhere to silly niceties. He likes his life just the way it is and doesn’t care what other people think. But when his son convinces him it’s time to remarry, Leo needs a crash course in wooing a bride.

Missy Piers is a school teacher, a young widow, and the only woman in town fiery enough to put a grumpy old blacksmith in his place. So when Leo asks her to help him catch a wife, she’s reluctant to do so.

Until she starts to fall for the awkwardly charming farrier.

Leo doesn’t know what to do about the infuriating yet intoxicating widow. She’s bossy, uptight, and…beautiful. And she makes him feel things he thought long buried.

Falling for Leo isn’t in Missy’s plans; he’s ornery, stubborn, and entirely too handsome. So why does his presence make her weak, and why does his touch make her yearn for something more?

When these two opposing spirits are offered a second chance at what they’ve lost, will they find love, or will their hearts shatter to pieces?

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

Third in the series. The couple was a bit older and a little set in their ways. I loved that Leo was willing to try to improve himself. Missy and Leo grew close through the lessons, but it took them a while to admit it. From gruff to presentable, using the tools he was given, Leo chose his next bride and began courting Missy. Her past kept her from being confident enough to believe him. Leo did his best, despite a bit of a disaster, and won out.

This is my unsolicited review.



Book Review: King (Morningstar MC: Reno Chapter #8) by D. Williams

 

Blurb

I have been groomed to take over the MSMC since birth. My sisters have families to care for, and they have carried the club while I served my country. No one ever thought that I would turn down the honor.

Until now.

My once bright future as a leader was destroyed by one well-placed bullet. The Army calls me a hero. The club says no one is more qualified than me to lead. I, however, have two major issues.

I’m half the man I was. Physically, mentally, and emotionally.

And the only person in the world who gets me has run off because of my stupidity. Our enemies are closing in, and I need to get my head back in the game.

This broken King will find his Queen and prove them all wrong.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

A blend of MC and mafia. A reunion. I liked Gianna's strength, no nonsense, and willingness to take on anyone herself. King knew what he wanted and was patient. His love for Gianna was there to be seen from the beginning and through all the dangers coming at them. He finally realized that he could not solve all his problems on his own. I also enjoyed the closeness and teasing within the MC itself.

Ollie’s Recovery Blurb:

One broken military man. One veterinarian. And the compassion that ignites into passion.


Former Navy SEAL Ollie O'Brien can't deal with being sidelined and discharged. His military career was his greatest accomplishment. And now, he's flailing and fumbling as he searches for purpose in a world that doesn't seem to value him at all. And when his sister lands him a job in North Carolina, Ollie is reluctant to accept.


Veterinarian Paisley Smythe is in over her head. She needs help with her choices in life, and she's striking out left and right. But when a friend reaches out with an idea, she meets the one man that could be the saving grace that she's needed all along. However, the rugged, handsome, and broken man may need her more than she needs him.


As Paisley and Ollie work together caring for the animals and saving the clinic, something sparks between them. Ollie's injuries force him to believe he's not enough for Paisley. And Paisley's past demons destroy her confidence in relationships. Can they both find a way to heal in one another's arms?


**Readers, please note: This book was previously published in 2022 as Survivor: A Salvation Society Novel. Content has been modified. **





Grey’s Rescue Blurb:

One former military hero.  One wildlife lover.  And the animals who saved them both.


Relatively new to the Blue Sky Sanctuary, Grey Nottingham is desperately trying to find his bearings in a world he knows nothing about. Still reeling from a mission that crashed and burned out of his control, Grey searches for solace in a safe haven that specializes in the struggles that former military heroes face. But when he encounters a beautiful, determined, and compassionate woman who will do anything to protect the Montana wildlife, Grey suddenly knows his purpose.


Abigale Styeeks loves nature--and after finishing college, she's dedicated her life to defending innocent, protected wildlife--even if it means bringing danger to herself. When the gorgeous and tortured Grey Nottingham brings her tortured wolves, Abigale launches an all-out mission to save them. Despite her efforts, the ranchers will stop at nothing to destroy the wildlife that threatens their livelihoods. Now, battling the ranchers and saving the animals being hunted becomes Grey and Abigale's new mission. Teaming up, the two find more than the answers to protect the endangered animals. Grey makes it his mission to protect Abigale and the wildlife from the vicious ranchers. But, will they end up rescuing Grey from his own personal demons?

My Reviews

Ollie's Recovery - 5 of 5 stars - 

I really enjoyed this story and look forward to more. I loved the concept of a place for veterans to recover and find themselves while helping animals. Paisley was an independent spirit with a good caring heart. Her love for animals almost got to be too much, but she was smart enough to accept all the help she could get. Paisley's situation pulled Ollie into the present, and she was his comfort. This story kept me reading until the end, tears on occasion, and plenty of smiles. Loved it.

Grey's Rescue - 5 of 5 stars -

Another entertaining story. I enjoyed the wolf rescue storyline a lot, both sides of the debate. The connections the wolves made with each other and with select humans added to the education. Abigale did everything she could to protect, harbor, and heal the wolves as well as other injured animals, while she reconnected with her mother and siblings. Enter Grey with all his own issues. He had been through a lot but was determined to heal inside and out. They supported each other, and their love was strong. Another great story in the Blue Sky Sanctuary series.
