Book Review: Fighting a Riot (Riot MC #8) by Karen Renee

 

Blurb: 

The Riot MC is facing a storm of problems. The worst being a traitor amongst them.

Nora Ellis never met a biker, until the night Noah “Yak” Spencer came to her rescue after her disastrous bachelorette party. It doesn’t take long for her to see the heart of gold beneath his tough-guy exterior. When Nora finds out her ex-fiancé was cheating, Yak is there. When a dire health crisis threatens to tear her life apart, Yak helps her keep it together. Even though the timing is truly lousy, Nora quickly finds herself longing for more than friendship with the sexy biker…

For Nora’s sake, Yak needs to keep his distance. Sure, she’s everything he has ever wanted—gorgeous, smart, and tough as nails. But with the problems she’s facing, Yak decides she's untouchable. Until Nora hints she wants more.

Nora doesn’t belong in his world. Her involvement could get her killed. Still, Yak can’t stay away. As matters with the club become deadly, how far will he go to protect the woman he has grown to love?

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

I kept turning the pages of this story. The journey of Yak and Nora enthralled me. Yak was so protective from the start, not being able to let her go with anyone other than himself. Nora's life had taken a downward trend being jilted and diagnosed with cancer. For most of the time, she was strong and determined to connect with Yak. I loved the brotherhood and sisterhood of the Riot MC in helping and supporting each other. On a personal note, I sympathized with Nora as I have been there. Her low moments brought back my journey. Support all round was key, and it was great to see it here.

I received a copy through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.

Blurb:

Fated doesn’t always mean forever

Zane

Annika Hagen is mine.

My wolf knows it. I know it.

But recognizing my fated mate doesn’t guarantee us a happily ever after. Hell, I can’t even guarantee that my unpredictable wolf won’t hurt her.

So while I’ll do anything to protect her from the coyote shifters who want her dead, I can never claim her as my own.

Not when my history has shown I’m a bigger threat to her than any of the other paranormal predators in this small town.

Annika

All I wanted was to run my bakery in peace.

Now, there’s a supernatural war on the horizon. The coyotes are attacking the Black Rock Guardians because of what I did. And turning myself over to them to keep my family safe isn’t an option.

Because my grumpy, sexy, wolf shifter bodyguard won’t let me.

If I’m lucky, I’ll make it out of this mess alive. My heart, on the other hand, might be a lost cause.

Especially when Zane seems so determined to keep me at arm’s length.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This is my review for Holly, Mistletoe, and Midnight Snow by Collette Cameron.

I did not want to stop reading this sweet story. Such an instant connection between Althelia and Owen. Althelia was a strong and unusual woman, very honest and forthright. Owen carried his past like a challenge, but his feelings and interest in Althelia lifted it and showed him what love truly was. Her family embraced him instantly as well.

I look forward to reading more of this anthology.

Save Her from Me (McRae Bodyguards, #2)

by Jolie Vines

Coming 10th December

He’s her bodyguard and her brother’s best friend. She’s a virgin with a spicy wish list.

Ariel

Someone’s out to get me, forcing my car off the road and me into hiding.

When my brother recruits his Scottish best friend to protect me, though the brooding bodyguard drives me nuts, I can’t refuse his help.

Or hide my crush.

As a distraction, I create a spicy wish list and have only one man in my sights to share it with.

What better way to spend my time locked in a house with the man of my dreams?

Jackson

I shouldn’t want this lass so much, but my best friend’s younger sister is under my protection and my skin.

Hooking up with her is off-limits. I can’t risk losing my job. Without it, I’m unemployed and homeless.

But Ariel offers a deal I can’t resist, even if I’m the last man she should take to the sheets.

While her enemy hunts us, she’s using my body for more than just protection.

I vowed to keep her safe, but what if it’s my secrets that are the real danger?

--

Save Her from Me is a close-proximity wild ride with a steamy deal between a determined woman and her brother’s best friend. Scorching scenes. Flaming cheeks. Guarding bodies never looked so good.

This is a standalone in the McRae Bodyguards romantic suspense series with crossover characters and a gorgeous Scottish Highlands backdrop.

Book Review: Hell on Wheels (Royal Bastards MC: Las Vegas, NV #1) by Nikki Landis

 

Blurb: 

No one is safe in the city of sin.

Flint “Maddog” Shepherd is used to moving through the shadows.
As a Marine veteran who served two tours overseas, he’s become skilled at hiding in plain sight and eliminating the enemy.
When a bomb took the lives of his entire unit, he returned home a scarred and broken man.
The nightmares from his past still play havoc with his head.
As a result of his trauma, he gains a service dog as loyal as his Marine brothers, and everything starts to fall into place.

Maddog's connections lead him to the Royal Bastards MC, where joining the brotherhood renews his purpose.
But now he’s fighting a cesspool of crime, drugs, power, and trafficked girls.
He didn’t expect to find a young woman undercover in the sleazy underbelly of Las Vegas.
He’s the only chance Lark Simmons has to survive.
Maddog won’t rest until she’s safe and back in his arms where she belongs.

A Shadow Rider and a scarred veteran just might be Hell on Wheels.
But even Lucifer can’t control the monster he’s unleashed.
The city of sin will never be the same.
What happens in Vegas belongs to the spawn of Lucifer, the RBMC.
This Halloween, you're invited to a ride with the devil.

Hell on Wheels is part of the Royal Bastards MC world and includes steamy scenes, biker slang, violence, human trafficking, dark content, and a paranormal twist. Heed the CWs. If you like wicked tales, OTT protective alpha males, and bad boy bikers, this story is for you!

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

Wow! This story had me all over the place. Both Lark and Maddog had histories that were not happy, Lark's more present. She was determined to find her sister, willing to do whatever it took, giving everything. I loved her strength and willingness to accept what came with Maddog. What Maddog had been through, past and current, had my heart hurting, some tears, and cheers when he became more whole. I enjoyed this story immensely and look forward to this new series.

Rancher's Christmas Cowgirl 

by Clara Pines 

Releases on November 7th!

https://geni.us/RanchersCowgirl

FREE with Kindle Unlimited

Blurb:

He’s the billionaire businessman everyone loves to hate. Can a cheerful cowgirl turn the single dad’s frown upside down in time for Christmas?

Sebastian Radcliffe can’t wait to move to Trinity Falls with his son. His happy memories of summers with his grandfather in the familiar countryside sustained him through years of hard work in the city after losing his wife. But when they arrive at last, he discovers that the whole town resents him for buying up so much land.

If Trinity Falls is the perfect Christmas village, Radcliffe might as well be its Scrooge.

Emma Williams loves her family’s homestead so much that she couldn’t bear to leave it after high school. Caring for the beloved horses and working with her older brothers on the rambling acres still makes her excited to get up every single morning.

But when the family farm is in trouble just before the holidays, and Radcliffe makes her a job offer she can’t refuse, Emma finds herself working for the enemy.

Now Radcliffe’s lonely, ten-year-old son provides the only bright spot in her days as she navigates her new situation, and tries desperately to convince the rancher to change his ways.

But sometimes it feels like the most difficult thing she has to do is resist wayward thoughts about her shockingly handsome employer. The smoldering way Radcliffe looks at her, the rapt way he listens to her, and the obvious abandon with which he loves his son are all making it harder and harder for her to remember that he’s hurting her community.

Their attraction may be overwhelming, but that doesn’t mean Radcliffe will ever allow himself pursue the younger woman, or that Emma will open her heart to the city man her whole town loves to hate. Especially when she learns about his latest plan…

Trinity Falls Sweet Romance is all about finding family – one clean & wholesome romance at a time.
