Review: It Ain't Me, Babe


It Ain't Me, Babe
It Ain't Me, Babe by Tillie Cole

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I really enjoyed this take on the MC lifestyle. Styx is basically mute. He suffers from a debilitating stutter and there are only 3 people that he could ever use his voice with; his father, now dead, his best friend Ky who serves as VP to him, the Pres, and the stunning young girl he met through a fence in the forest when he was a boy. Fast forward fifteen years, and that same girl ends up in his compound bleeding out and having escaped the sick cult she was born in to.

Mae knows nothing about the world on the outside. All she knows is that she can't take anymore abuse, rape, and torture at the hands of the elders in her commune. The final straw was witnessing her sister dying after suffering weeks of abuse and beatings. Her sister made her promise to leave, escape the commune and live her life.

Styx and Hades Hangmen live a dangerous,rough, and gritty life, but Mae has war scars of her own. They can't deny the pull they have always had for each other and together they face the future. I'm very excited to see that more books are planned!! Seriously, something is WRONG with Flame. I can't wait to find out why he is the way he is.

Review: Fate


Fate
Fate by Nikki Sex

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



This book had a great premise. Emily has had a crush on her older brother's best friend Paul for years. He has always rejected her advances but always kept in contact with her as he valued her friendship. Some surprising circumstances between their families have scattered the three of them to different places, and now Paul hasn't seen Emily in years. Emily has a plan; she knows that Paul will be in Mexico and she plans to disguise herself so she can finally have a night with him. A boob job, some contacts, and a dye job later, Emily is now "Candy" and Paul actually falls hard for her. He isn't willing to just let her go, so they start an email relationship where "Candy" learns that Paul is a trained Dom and wants to bring her into the lifestyle.

This was an interesting story, with some great twists and education of the BDSM lifestyle. The characters were inside their heads a lot, which could get a little tedious, but overall I liked the story.

Review: Fall from India Place


Fall from India Place
Fall from India Place by Samantha Young

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Ahhhh this was sooo good!


I have been waiting for this book for a while, and SY did not disappoint. As the fourth book in the ODS series, Fall from India Place is as strong as the first. Parts funny, poignant, and endearingly romantic, Hannah and Marco had quite the story to tell. All grown up, Hannah is a teacher with a loving family and friends. The only thing missing in her life is companionship, but there has only ever been one guy for her and he went back to America years ago...or so she thought. A chance meeting at a wedding reveals that Marco has been back in Scotland for 4 years and hasn't ever contacted her. Hurt beyond belief, Hannah avoids Marco's persistent pursuit of her; he wants a chance to explain the last five years and he won't take no for an answer.

The layers unraveled in this story are deep, full of pain, and full of love. This is a non-stop page turner that will have you on a roller coaster of emotions from beginning to end. 5 enthusiastic stars!

Review: Devil's Game


Devil's Game
Devil's Game by Joanna Wylde

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



LOVED IT.

This third entry into the Reaper's MC series actually takes us into the heart of the Devil's Jacks mindset. Liam and Em are more than star crossed lovers-they have serious issues to overcome. Like kidnapping.

I wanted more more more, of course, and there is a tease at the end about who may be next. I can't WAIT. Such a great read with the action, drama, and sexy times we all want. Stay tuned for a more in depth First Look.

***Here is the detailed First Look at Heroes and Heartbreakers!

Review: Caged Wolf


Caged Wolf
Caged Wolf by S.M. Reine

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



This sexy paranormal biker story features Ofelia, a scarred waitress and Trouble, an aptly named biker who rolls into the mystical town of Lobo Norte with his MC, the Fang Brothers.

Ofelia's boss knows that as soon as the Fang Brothers rolled into town, there would be trouble. She warns Ofelia to stay home, stay out of their way, and definitely don't go out after dark. However, Ofelia is broke and needs the tips. She works at the only bar in town, and the bar sponsors fight nights every 2 weeks. The minute Trouble walks into the bar with his bikers brothers, the chemistry is hot and palpable-and Trouble never utters a word.

It seems that Ofelia's boss was right to caution her-turns out Trouble is a werewolf who is just learning to control himself under the tutelage of his alpha and brothers. When it comes to Ofelia, however, he is having an even harder time controlling himself, and Ofelia doesn't want to control herself-she wants Trouble. Meanwhile, Ofelia has more than Trouble to worry about as she gets back in touch with her witch roots to protect her from the rival gangs that have swarmed into Lobo Norte-including the gang that is responsible for her scars. Also, she has a pesky tarot card that keeps following her around.

This had some laugh out loud moments, but plenty of sexy ones as well. Definitely a good read.
