Amy's 5 star ARC review of Paid in Full (Devil's Due MC #5) by Chelsea Camaron

Serving a country full of flawed systems slowly eats away at a man. The domino effect of one person's crime going unpunished burns deeply.

He's no saint.

Gentry 'Deacon' Hawkins is an all-American hero. He went from the star athlete to the elite of the Navy SEALs. When a mission went bad, costing the innocent lives of his team and some civilians, he was forever changed. Riding with the Devil's Due MC is the only peace he has found since getting out of the military.

She's not afraid to call herself a sinner.

Tempest Adams spends her every waking moment serving others. She has given her life to provide a safe haven for women and children while they rebuild their lives. At the end of every day she finds both satisfaction in her life and loneliness.

However, danger lurks in her world, under her roof.

Will Deacon put his anger aside? Can Tempest swallow her pride and ask for help? When everything comes to a head, will Deacon be the hero Tempest needs to save her or will he be too late?

Love, hate, anger, and passion collide as the time comes, and the devil demands his due.


Each book in the Devil's Due MC is a stand alone, full length, second chance romance. Contains adult content, language, and violence not suitable for readers under the age of 18. This is not an exact depiction of life in a motorcycle club, but rather a work of fiction meant to entertain. (Paperback page count is 306 in a 5x8 sizing)

Bottom Line

His MC family is the only thing that keeps him going. But yet this woman - it feels like her memories are dark and buried as well. -- Lord I love that name .. Gentry. 

Tempest Adams takes care of others. Her family - what she has left is everything to her. Life was not kind to her so she throws herself into helping others that need out. Women and children who need protection. Her mother did not have that protection and this is a way to make sure something like what happened her life never happens again. With all these people around her you wouldn't think she is alone .. but she is. Her strength guides her and she will never let her guard down.

Deacon needs to save the woman who has something broken in her before something terrible happens. Tempest needs to open her heart up before its too late and the past meets the future. 

This is a really fabulous addition to the MC series from Chelsea. All of the characters are so well written and you can make a connection with them. Please be aware there could be some triggers of abuse or PTSD in this one for some. Nothing was too graphic -- Just a wonderful story. LOVE IT.
Thank you for the ARC and I cannot wait for the next. I love keeping up with all of our Devils Due men. The ladies are snatching them up one by one!

Amy's 4 star Review of On A Tuesday by Whitney G.

We met on a Tuesday.
Became best friends, then lovers, on a Tuesday.
And everything fell apart on a Tuesday...

Charlotte Taylor has three automatic strikes in my book: 1) She hates me. She also claims that I'm a "domineering jerk with a huge, overbearing ego." (I do have something huge. It's not my ego, though.) 2) She takes our mandatory tutoring sessions way too seriously. 3) She's sexy as hell...And a virgin.

At least, those were her strikes before our study sessions started lasting longer than they were supposed to. Until one innocent kiss became a hundred dirty ones, and until she became the first woman I ever fell hard for.

Our future together after graduation was supposed to be set:
Professional football for me. Law school for her.

But she left me at the end of the semester with no explanation, and then she completely disappeared from my life.

Until tonight.

We met on a Tuesday.
Became everything, then nothing, on a Tuesday.
And now it's seven years later, on a Tuesday...

**This is a full length second chance romance, inspired by Adele's "When We Were Young"**

As I'm branching out to not MC books I stumbled across this release thanks to Ramblings Beneath The Sheets. Let me tell you it was really good. 

Grayson is the typical star jock. He's the number 1 draft pick and headed for the NFL. Struggling with a few courses, Grayson needs a tutor. Charlotte is the most beautiful girl he has ever laid eyes on .. she is the full package. Surely she won't resist ...

Charlotte cannot believe her newest student really thinks she would be interested in him. She is smart enough to know the minute he gets what he wants he will be gone. But on a Tuesday her life will be changed forever on all accounts. 

This was a great read. The characters are well written and you get flashes to the past and forwards to the present. Tuesday's will never be the same! 

I absolutely love the cover. It's simple and perfect. Seriously perfect ... this is my first book by Whitney and it's a definite keeper! Free on KU!

Amy's 5 star ARC Review of Bound by Vengeance (Ravage MC Bound, #3) by Ryan Michele

Vengeance: punishment inflicted or retribution exacted for an injury or wrong.

Austyn Cruz’s life has been turned on its axis. She’s done with sitting on the sidelines while those around her deal with her problems. 

Growing up in the Ravage MC, there’s always been someone at her back. Now it’s time for her to deal with her problems on her own. That is, until the guy she’s lusted over and loved for more years than she can count decides to claim her.

Only, it’s too late. He’s too late. Everything has changed.

Ryker James lives by one rule: live free. His past does not define him, but it does decide to give him a wakeup call after years of lying dormant. It’s time to face his demon and make sure, once and for all, it never comes back into his life. All the while protecting the one and only he’s loved for longer than he should. 

Two people tied together by their pasts. Two people searching for vengeance. Will the retribution they seek tear them apart, or bring them together? In the end, justice will be served … the Ravage MC way. 


** Bound by Vengeance (Ravage MC Bound Series Book Three) is a standalone full-length novel. You do not have to read the Ravage MC series nor Bound Series to follow this book, but if you’d like to see where it all started, you really should. **

Release three of our favorite spin off from our favorite MC - The Ravage men and their families. 
Austyn is our lead female in this release. And yes .. Ryker. The bad boy waiting to take what is his. 

Austyn gave us some glimpses in to her horrific ordeal suffered at the hands of a mad man. The family knows some of her trauma but no one knows it all. Feeling as if she deserves very little and probably nothing, Austyn struggles to fight the demons within. 

Ryker has been waiting - looking for the right time. But Austyn is withdrawn and she is the Prez's daughter. Proving himself may serve difficult as there are black and dark places to light up. 

This was another fantastic love story. My heart - woah - poor Austyn. I wanted her to be stronger but her ordeal took it's toll. Ryan once again has gifted us with keeping up with the MC and all the characters we love. Amazing - heart tormenting - beautiful. 

Thank you for the ARC! I cannot wait for the next and I hope it's a certain girl we are wanting to know in whose arms she ends up in. Eeeekkkk! 

Amy's 5 star ARC Review of Undaunted: The Kings of Retribution MC by Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez

As the VP of Kings of Retribution MC, I live and breathe this life. After suffering the loss of two women in my life, I grew cold and indifferent to the idea of love. I don't need to let anyone in. I've seen the aftermath it can leave in its quake.
The last thing I'm looking for is someone to fill the void.
Until-- Bella Jameson
Struggling to keep my head above water, my only concern is taking care of my sister. The last ting I expected was to fall in love with a tattooed biker, Logan Kane. With evil hiding in the shadows, I have no idea the danger my sister and I are about to face.

Will they overcome their demons in the end, or will they lose each other in the process? Lies will be told, secrets will be revealed, and what was once lost... will be found.

Bella is fighting to make a better life for she and her little sister. Her mothers continued flaws in choices of men haven't provided the best life. It hasn't been terrible but it hasn't been every girls dream. Her father was a brutal man and you think her mother would have learned. One frustrating morning turns Bella's entire life into a whirlwind that she wasn't looking for. 

Logan has lost two women in his life already. The two most important women and the only women he ever trusted and cared for. The third .. well .. she liked money and he didn't have enough. Loneliness isn't really anything he worries about as the MC is his family. However partying isn't his game either. In one swoop an Angel changes everything for him. 

This is a great MC read. There is a little of everything along with a small twist of events. Bella is a very strong female lead which I loved and of Course Logan is the perfect alpha male. 

Click this one up for a night! You won't regret it. 
Thank you for the ARC -

Amy's 5 star ARC Review of Double Crossed (A Cobras MC Novella) by Colbie Kay

****Warning****
This novella is potentially triggering for victims of domestic abuse.

Snake
Thirty years ago I had everything I wanted until one drunken night destroyed it all.
Twenty-four years ago my life was destroyed once again. My daughter was taken from me and there wasn't a damn thing I could do about it.
Now I have my daughter back and the life I lost all those years ago. Seems like everything should be perfect, right? Wrong.
As secrets unfold, people get crossed and lives are changed forever. Will I be able to hold everything together? Will I gain new beginnings or lose again? Will two motorcycle clubs still coexist when everything is said and done?
This book is intended for 18+ due to subject content
Quiet Country Satan's Sinners MC Book 2 should be read first.

This is one messed up book. It's not dark or anything there is domestic abuse, so be warned but the situation of Victoria and Snake is a total poop storm.

In love at 17 Victoria found her forever until one night she found out she actually hadn't. Snake was just that. Running in to the arms of another man in another MC she made a huge mistake. Leaving her child behind to save her own life knowing he wouldn't hurt their son she fled. Now back at her old place not only is her son there but so is Snake. 

Snake screwed up and he's paid dearly. The woman he has only lived is back but now what? He betrayed her. Maybe the past can stay there or maybe it gets worse. 

This was so messed up crazy good. Loved the story the characters and the supporting characters. Hank you for the ARC! I apologize for the not timely review as sickness took over! 

Amy's 5 star ARC Review of The Promise of Forever (The Promise Series Book 2) by K.L. Jessop

December: that special time of year that excites me like no other. 
When Tamzin King stumbled into my life two years ago, I knew I had to make her mine.
Which I did.
The promises we made that December have stayed with us. They’ve changed us and created an unconditional love that no one can break. 
She is my everything. 
But when fear of what the future might hold suddenly hits me, it’s enough to knock me off kilter. 
I’m a man who stands by his word. I put those I love first, and I never break the promises I keep. 
Until the day that I do.


***This novel contains adult/mature young adult situations. It is only suitable for ages 18+ due to language and sexual situations***

Ok can you just stop it now. This is the follow up read to The Promise of December with Tamzin King and Noel. See .. Just stop it. I cannot tell you how much I love these two characters. Look at the cover ... It's stunning ... Beautiful choice and perfect depiction of Tamzin and Noel ... Sigh ...

Tamzin and Noel's world is changing but their commitment to each other is forever. They are the priority. They are each other's why. Until now ... Noel finds the pressures of work hindering his time with Tamzin and those he loves. Vowing that he won't break any of his words he said to the love of his life, Noel finds himself struggling to balance it all. 

This is a wonderful heartfelt tremendous read for the holidays or anytime of the year. It's definitely going in my book as a favorite. There are exceptional secondary characters that I hope we will see in the future. This family needs to live on for a bit longer. 

Thank you for the ARC .

Amy's 5 star ARC Review of Gun Shy by Lili St. Germain

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GIRL?

In the middle of a fierce snowstorm in Gun Creek, Nevada, a teenage girl disappears without a trace.

The second girl in nine years.

Identical cases. Identical conditions. Only last time, the girl was found. Dead, stuffed in a well beside the creek that feeds the town's water supply.

The killer was never found.

As the small town mobilizes and searches for newly vanished Jennifer Thomas, one suspect comes to the fore. But did he do it? Or is there something else at play? Something nobody could have anticipated?

For Jennifer's friend Cassie Carlino, the worst is yet to come. As she pins MISSING posters to store windows and joins the search, she begins to suspect that Jennifer's disappearance might be closer to her than she could have ever imagined...

In Gun Shy, USA Today Bestseller Lili St. Germain weaves her unique brand of darkness and grit into a much-anticipated psychological thriller that early readers are calling her best work yet. Evocative, atmospheric and gripping, this book will stay with you long after you're finished reading.

Holy smokes - Gypsy Brothers doesn't have anything on this new release. 
So there is a huge cast of characters in this release which means I hope that we have another great series on the way which complete mind benders ... Because let me tell you this one did not disappoint. 

I would say at minimum this is a psychological thriller. A killer who got away. Lives changed forever. Some may get out alive but others won't and maybe just maybe the killer isn't all that much of a stranger. 

Gun Creek changes you. There is no opportunity and there is no way out for some. Leo and Cassie's plan was to leave but then everything changed. Everything they dreamed of lies now in tattered bits. 

I'm not sure what else to say than get this book. There are dead bodies and missing people ... Scary moments that I thought I would wet my pants before it was over. Just wait ... Situated yourself because once you start reading you aren't putting this one down. 

Thank you for the ARC -  Oh and once you read it go back and stare at the cover for a minute ... Perfect ... Eeekkkk!

Amy's 3 star ARC Review of Sick Fux by Tillie Cole

When Ellis Earnshaw and Heathan James met as children, they couldn’t have been more different. Ellis was loud and beautiful – all blond hair, bright laughs and smiles. Heathan was dark and brooding, and obsessed with watching things die.
The pair forged an unlikely friendship, unique and strange. Until they were ripped apart by the sick cruelty of others, separated for years, both locked in a perpetual hell.
Eleven years later, Heathan is back for his girl. Back from a place from which he thought there was no return. Back to seek revenge on those who wronged them.
Time has made Heathan’s soul darker, polluted with hatred and the thirst for blood.
Time has made Ellis a shell of her former self, a little girl lost in the vastness of her pain.
As Heathan pulls Ellis out of her mental prison, reviving the essence of who she once was, down the rabbit hole they will go.
With malice in their hearts and vengeance in their veins, they will seek out the ones who hurt and destroyed them.
One at a time.
Each one more deadly than the last.
Tick Tock.

Dark Contemporary Romance. Contains explicit sexual situations, violence, disturbingly sensitive and taboo subjects, offensive language and very mature topics. Recommended for ages 18 and over.

This book needs a very large warning on the front pages. The theme is extremely dark. Don't let the Alice In Wonderland vibe fool you. Rabbit and Dolly are bat shit crazy. Having said that I don't mind a dark read but this one was way past the dark side. 

I'm not going to lie it was hard for me to finish because there were times I thought nope ... nope and more nope. But if you like to tap in to your darkest places where there is no coming back then this is your read. Make sure you keep the lights on. LOL! 

I can't say much because you really need to go in to this one blind IF this is your type of read. The characters are well written as well as many interesting secondary characters but it was a little much for me. I like dark, but I don't care for the depths of hell -- it wasn't my cup of tea but try for yourself. There are a lot of five star reviews for this one out there so take this for what it is .. only my opinion.
