<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Please be aware that this book deals with some potentially sensitive issues such as depression and drug abuse. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Piper meets Blue and his dog Acorn at a young age. She is grounded - he is a traveler. She is attached to home and he wanders with his guitar and his furry best friend. Two people so different but so drawn to each other. That beautiful day she found him by chance drawn to him by the notes falling from his guitar sitting peacefully was the best and worst day of her life. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Years later the path of destruction and fame is a riveted mountain of broken moments. He is her everything that she cannot forget. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">I’m being vague as you need to experience this book. You will cry - you will laugh and you will believe - what you chose to believe in is your decision but I hope that you will savor every page. My hope is that you will feel every emotion and open yourself up to Blue and Piper. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Brilliant read - thank you for the ARC - Read it twice, because the first time you will be so caught up and desperate to know you might miss something - continue feeling by turning the pages of the beautiful story more than once.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;">The brother known as Hound has a reputation. He’s all about cracking heads, having a good time, and when the Chaos Motorcycle Club needs someone to do the tough job, they call on him.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;">But Hound has a secret. He fell in love with a woman years ago. She’s untouchable. Unattainable. And even when her status changes, for Hound, it remains the same.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;">Keely Black had it all early and lost it all not long after. Thrown into an abyss of loss and grief, she’s faced a life of raising two sons alone and battling the rage at all that had been ripped from them.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;">And why.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;">Words spoken in anger open Hound’s and Keely’s eyes. For Hound, he sees he’s wasted his life loving the wrong woman. Keely sees she’s wasting her life not opening herself to the love of a good man.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Oh my word .. finally a book that I didn't put down before I reached the last page. I have struggled for a bit, then life took over and this was absolutely what I needed to get back on track. The men of Chaos. Tack, High, Shy, Hop, Boz, and now Hound. This book gives us somewhat of a flashback as we go back and forth a few times reminding us of how these two came to pass. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Just like the former books in the series the characters are so well written and as you read a movie plays in your head. You can see these characters - you can imagine being with these characters. The men still all loved fully with their hearts and treasure their families. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Keely lost her husband Black -- she lost her entire life (and has yet to forget his brutal murder). Leaving was difficult but she needed to go. Betrayal ran deep. The club has always been there for she and her sons. Upon coming back the rule that you must never touch another brothers wife is a hard rule to leave lay. Hound lies and dies the brotherhood -- not having his hands on Keely is a temptation that might just break him. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">We flash forward and forward years passing until we hit present day. The boys are grown and doing as boys do … cause Chaos. Reminded daily that Keely will eventually move on but it cannot be with Chaos, Hound has kept his distance. Until now … </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">This again was a magnificent addition to the series. If you have not read the Chaos books please grab them up and enjoy the rest or what is left of your summer reading those. I'm so excited to see Ms. Ashley back where I love her … writing us stories about men who love and give all to their women and kids.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">From the moment Jiji steps foot inside the Devil's Wind clubhouse, Breech can't get her out of his head. She's beautiful, smart and sassy-all things that drive Breech's need to it's breaking point. But she's not for him. She's his best friend Fighter's little sister. He can't hit it and quit it with Jiji, like he does the others. Either he's all in or Fighter will have his balls.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Jiji knows exactly what kind of man Breech is and no matter what kind of fire he sets off in her lady parts, she has no intentions of getting mixed up with him and becoming another one, of the many women, he leaves in his wake. She has goals she's working towards and the world of bikers doesn't fit in with what she has planned.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">But when trouble comes knocking and Jiji finds herself in a terrifying situation, it's Breech and the Devil's Wind that must step in to save her.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Breech has been sent to look after Jiji while her brother is on his honeymoon. Babysitting her isn’t going to be easy as he can’t have her and treat her like the others. Fighter would have his head. Jiji is special and she deserves more. Breech knows this but it’s so hard to not try and have her.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Jiji refuses to be another hit it and quit it girl in Breechs life but he is persistent. Her boss needing her to go out of town is perfect - except now he’s coming too.

The characters are likable. The story line keeps the pages turning. This is the second book in the series which means i need to go back and pick the first one up. However the books do read as a stand-alone.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Oh boy .. ok .. Javier and Mari .. where to begin. This story is a brutal read in places so be warned. Make sure you read the blurb and understand what you are getting in to. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">We are in the past and present in this release of one of two. Mari and Javier are childhood friends living in an extremely unforgiving world. Neither were born in to the cartel but life throws them in to the whirlwind of a dark life. Mari wants nothing more to escape and get away - however her kidnappers won’t allow it. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Javier is a compassionate man especially when it’s Mari. The woman is his life and he needs to not lose her. This book has so many points of pure drama and unbelievable amounts of turmoil/dark situations. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">The characters are well written and the cliffhanger is a doozie. Great read but you are going to be left hanging by a thread. Be warned!

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Tainted from her rough upbringing, Sinclair got out of the MC lifestyle the only way she knew how, by going to college and burning bridges with her family and the club that raised her. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">As she's struggling to find balance in her new life away from The Masters Of Chaos MC, Sinclair finds herself being used as a pawn in a dangerous game that will change the course of her carefully planned future. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">She never thought she'd need the help of the man and family she left behind, until her world came crashing down around her. She'll have to trust the club she shunned and a man who betrayed her, because the life she so desperately wanted depends on it.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">So I’m not sure about this release. I have very conflicted feelings. I like the characters , but then I didn’t. Sinclair left the MC lifestyle and was disowned by her father for doing so. However, her life choice was not that of a positive one so I’m not sure why she left the MC other than she was hurt by James. It seems her life went down hill worse - maybe that was the point? </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">James hurt Sinclair but she left on her own accord. Better known as Hulk, he now needs to protect her. Sinclair isn’t coming quietly. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Again I liked it but it was short and some of the side characters were a bit confusing. However I will read the next release as I believe they can get more in depth as the series rolls along.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Thank you for the ARC </span>Ramblings From Beneath The Sheetshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04592253339551286045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534436976328390743.post-41437855012673077782018-03-05T08:33:00.000-05:002018-03-05T08:33:09.182-05:00Amy's 4 star ARC Review of Demons (Devil's Reach #2) By J L Drake<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">This is the second release in this series with Trigger and Tess. Please be aware it may cause your own triggers due to the dark content.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">We start back up where we left off with Trigger and Tess - things are being pushed to the limit in this release. Trigger wants Tess safe so she has got to go and Tess wants the MC life. Her mom is something else - let’s just leave that there. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">The dark inside both of these characters is immense. I thought maybe this release we would get square and get some satisfaction, but know you are going to be left hanging again. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">The cover is really brilliant the characters and story line is edgy for sure. Just know picking this one up means another waiting game. There is zero satisfaction in this book so if you can’t handle the wait - well too bad. I’m not crazy over this release because I wanted answers, but I’ll keep on keeping on with this series because it’s a need to know situation. It’s a crazy ride ...</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">I absolutely love this author and the collaboration on Tap That did not disappoint. You should put RC on your radar as one of your go to ladies on release day. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Callie and Reid are a great rivalry. Like all rivalries though there is always an underlying story or connection. These two are no different. Callie comes in to Reid’s territory on a lie. She took his promotion - the job he deserved and now it’s game on. Reid can’t stand the tiny pixie annoying thing that this boss hired for a job that should have been his. The woman is annoying but yet there is something about her that just doesn’t sit right - Callie can’t seem to remember if she is supposed to find the man in front of her arrogant and obnoxious or absolutely delicious and delightful. Her brain and body aren’t working together.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">The banter between the two is hilarious just like all of RC’s books. The story is light but intriguing - sinful yet good - and then characters are brilliant. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">I highly suggest clicking this one as well as all her others up. Great release as always - thank you for the ARC!</span>Ramblings From Beneath The Sheetshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04592253339551286045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534436976328390743.post-36286134534469546872018-02-19T19:31:00.003-05:002018-02-19T19:31:44.453-05:00Amy's 5 star ARC Review of Reckless by Lex Martin <span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Ethan and Tori - this is one of the sweetest love stories I have read in a long time.

Crazy thing is he would probably take her back for the kids if she showed up tomorrow - that is until Tori lands on his doorstep for the nanny position. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Tori is a mess. She needs this job but also being close to her pregnant sister makes this job all the more important. The last thing she needs is to screw this up. This man -Ethan - she finds he’s not like her last so called love.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">My name is Logan Hunter. I’m former NYPD SWAT. I don't do romance. I don't do relationships; at least not after what happened with my ex fiancé, Shay. I left NYC to take on a series of high-risk recue missions abroad. But last night I got a call from the only woman who could lure me back to the states: my ex. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Her life is in danger and she needs me to protect her. I also learn that she’s keeping a secret; a secret so painful, she’d do anything to keep me from finding out. Can I get the woman I love to open up and let me in her heart again? After two years apart, can we find our way back to each other? </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">This steamy romance is a roller coaster ride that will make you laugh, make you hot, and even make you shed a few tears. It's a full-length standalone novel. You do not have to read the book that came before this one. NO cheating, NO cliffhangers, and a guaranteed Happily-ever-after! This book has adult content for ages 18 and over.</b><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">This is a series that I have not read the first book. However, it can be read as a stand-alone. In true form though within the first few chapters I wanted to know about the family I obviously missed. What a fantastic set of brothers. This is Logan’s story. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Left - cheated on - Shay broke his heart. In return Logan takes on jobs that take him away. She ruined him. But now that same girl needs him. Witnessing an act that she should have never seen Shay is getting threatened. Fearing for her life she calls on the only man she can trust to help and protect her - but will he forgive her. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">This is a second chance romance that is touching and satisfying all at the same time. This is where the author gets you - all the secondary characters you want to know their past and look forward to their future. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Logan and Shay are well written characters with a lot of turmoil in their past. You might not care for the female lead but give it a chance - things aren’t always as they seem or maybe not as bad - can’t really push that statement much more due to spoilers. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">The writing is solid and was a great sit by the fire page turner. Thank you for the ARC! I’m going back to grab number one!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">So this was super weird to me. Draytons Dolls .. a man who collects women and puts them on display for those to do what he wants. The lead female was willing to come in to the life - Ivy. Victor however decides this one - the perfect doll - he may have to keep to himself. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">I’m not sure what happened in the previous releases and maybe this is what swayed me to not fall in love with this story but it just wasn’t my cup of tea. The story as well didn’t seem finished. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">If you like a very bizarre situation and read then this one is for you</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Things I should have watched out for: </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The redhead with her face buried in her phone. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The pixie who made me feel more alive than the speeding blue Shelby underneath me. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The girl more intense than the music and crowds I surround myself with. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The cure to all the demons from my past.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The one with the boyfriend who loves her. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">But I didn’t, and now she has to watch me one more time. In a race for my life, and hers. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The Cure </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Things I should have seen coming: </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The stupid red balloon. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The road all my wishes led me down.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The 6ft hulk with the easy smile. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The maniac who rages both on the track and off it. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The one who doesn’t care that I have a boyfriend who loves me.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">But I didn’t, and now I have to watch him one more time. In a race for his life, and mine.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">The story of Quinn - Alex and Erik. The is my first read by this author and I did enjoy it. The characters are well written and the depth of real life experiences adds to the ability to be able to connect with the characters. Quinn has had to delay school due to her mother’s health issues. Alex has had not the best life but ours on a party attitude. Erik isn't all he seems to be. Sounds all too true. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">This is the love story of a man determined to get what he wants from a woman who deserves more. I didn’t read the previous release but I did enjoy meeting the characters from the first release. These stories are stand alone so no harm there but I also am a stickler for knowing all characters and how they got to where they are now. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">This is a good easy read. Enjoyed seeing the characters evolve and a love story develop. Thank you for the ARC. </span>Ramblings From Beneath The Sheetshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04592253339551286045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534436976328390743.post-44819925051984191492018-01-11T13:48:00.000-05:002018-01-11T13:48:02.978-05:00Release Blitz : Fighter's Claim by DD Galvani<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

His job is to take care of the prospects, make sure things run smoothly and kick some ass if it doesn’t. His life consists of his club, his bike, his brothers, and more than his fair share of pussy. The last thing he needs is his little sister and her best friend showing up at the clubhouse, ragged, beaten and looking to him to sort out their mess.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
Tish and Jiji have been best friends since the day they met. When fate steps in and forces them to run for their lives, the safest place possible is with Jiji’s brother, Fighter. Fighter doesn’t do relationships but his sisters best friend is no longer the little girl he once knew. She’s all grown up and has him wanting to stake his claim. Tish has risked her life to save Jiji and now Fighter must return the favor.<br />
<br />
When their two worlds collide, The Devil’s Wind steps up to protect Tish and Jiji and Fighter has a decision to make before he loses Tish.<br />

Keeley Blueriver is not doing a very good job hiding out. After being viciously attacked, she and her sister Danielle pack up and move across the country to Window Rock, Arizona. But Simon found them before, and he’ll do it again. How and when are the only questions.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Kalkin Raferty, Alpha of the Raferty pack, has spent his life protecting his family and pack from outside threats. He believes his time for finding a mate has passed. Who would want an old Alpha wolf?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A chance meeting puts Kalkin face to face with his destiny and now he can’t get the blonde-haired, hazel-eyed woman out of his mind. His wolf is poised to claim her, but with danger lurking around every corner, is he willing to risk everything to have her?<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="border: 9px groove #800000; height: 400px; overflow: auto; width: 97%;">
“Where the fuck is the baby?” He kept his voice controlled, knowing the pup was safe and sound with Danielle—for now. Kal tried in vain to keep his voice down so their neighbors couldn’t overhear their conversation. As it stood, he still wasn’t sure how he felt about Keeley. Well, he did, but acknowledging the mating and participating in it were two totally different things. Right now, they didn’t need any extra headaches. However, he had a sneaky suspicion he was in over his head and he was too stupid, or ignorant, to admit it.</div>
<br />
“He’s with Danielle.” Caden shrugged, moving around his brother. “The boy was in his pup form when I got him. I couldn’t take him to a hospital and you know if I took him to a vet—which there isn’t one in a twenty-mile radius—they would have freaked out if he spontaneously shifted. So, I brought him back here.”<br />
“You don’t think the girl will freak the fuck out when he spontaneously shifts, Caden?” Kal couldn’t believe what his brother said.<br />
“No,” he answered plainly.<br />
“No?” Kalkin snorted. “I have got to hear this explanation. Come on, lay it on me. Tell me, ‘oh smart one,’ why she won’t freak the fuck out when the baby shifts.”<br />
“She’s not normal either.” A slow small crossed his brother’s lips. “She got this…thing. I promised I wouldn’t tell anyone about it, but bro. She’s special.”<br />
“Great. Fan-fucking-tastic. So, she could have a serious case of gas, but she’s special.” Wow, he knew his brother could be stupid sometimes, but this was a colossal fuck up. It ranked right up there with the time they were sixteen and Caden decided he was going to pull the tail of a cat shifter. The asshole ended up in bed for a week with tiger claw slashes to his side.<br />
“I’m being serious, asshole,” Caden snapped, going nose to nose with his brother. “She helped the pup more in five minutes than a hospital could in two fucking weeks. I promised her I wouldn't say what it was, but I felt her. She did something to him and he was a different pup when he woke up.”<br />
Kalkin blinked, taking in everything his brother said. A part of him wanted to believe his brother and another part of him wanted to continue to chew his ass. He also realized he should be more concerned with the pup. Kal blew out a breath and scrubbed his hand across his brow. “How bad?”<br />
“Two broken legs and some bites. Danielle thinks he’ll be fine. She wrapped the wounds and set his back legs.” He chuckled a bit. “Aiden ate up the attention when I checked on them after Mrs. Martin hooked me up with some breast milk for the boy.” Caden turned serious for a moment. “I don’t know why Tiffany had fucking pups. She couldn’t even take care of herself when we were younger. Then she goes off and gets fucking pregnant. The bitch tried to kill him!” Kalkin watched his brother pace. “Aiden is now parentless. Why? Because she doesn’t have enough fucking sense to bring all the pups to her Alpha.”<br />
Wait. “There are more?” He couldn’t believe Caden would take one and leave the others. “Why did you leave them?”<br />
“Aiden is the only one who survived.”<br />
“Fuck.” He’d have to deal with this sooner rather than later. “Do we know the father?”<br />
Caden snorted. “If I had to guess? Someone in the Quincy pack. The kid smelled of piss and shit, though, so I couldn’t be sure.”<br />
“Shit. Not what we need right now, but because you went off half-cocked, you brought shit down on our new neighbors.” Kalkin couldn’t even be angry anymore. He understood Caden’s need to protect the baby. However, it couldn’t be at the expense of two women who’d been through their own shit. “What are you going to do when Aiden shifts and is a baby?”<br />
“Well, I had been thinking about it when you pulled up to house like Billy Bad Ass. I’m going to tell her what we are.”<br />
What? “Are you fucking kidding me?” He couldn’t believe what his brother was saying. “Why?”<br />
“Tell me you aren't planning to do the same.” Caden's blue eyes swirled with intent. “Tell me you weren't going to have Keeley run with you during the full moon.” His brother had him. He had been contemplating revealing himself during the first day of the summer festival.<br />
“Shit,” he said, blowing out a frustrated breath. “This is all FUBAR.” Fucked up beyond all recognition.<br />
“Tell me about it.”<br />
“You’re part of the reason, asshole.” He turned away from his brother and caught his neighbor staring at him. “Great.”<br />
“What?” His brother stepped over to where he was standing. “Ah, shit.” There, peeking out of their window, stood Keeley, Danielle, and a very happy little boy. Shit, maybe his brother had been right.<br />
“Yeah, great fucking work, asshole. I’m betting they saw and heard everything. So much for having to explain it to them.”<br />
“Hold on. You’re assuming they heard anything. They’re completely human. They couldn’t hear a flea fart.”<br />
“I thought you said Danielle is special.” Kal cocked a brow. “Or were you blowing smoke up my ass about her?”<br />
“She is. I can assure you what I experienced when she started working with Aiden,” Caden paused. “Shit, bro. It was amazing.”<br />
“Are you sure she was touching the pup?” he quipped.<br />
“Yes, dickhead. It wasn’t sexual at all, but it had been amazing nonetheless.” Caden’s blue gaze locked with Kal’s and his demeanor turned serious. “She’s my mate.”<br />
Of all the fucking things he expected his brother to say, finding his mate hadn’t been one of them. “Shit. Are you sure?”<br />
“Oh yeah.”<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You know you’ve hit rock bottom when you fall down and can’t be bothered to get back up.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My entire life had been one endless beating, and I’d reached breaking point.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was done.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Until a letter gave me the strength I’d been missing.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Those precious words gave me enough courage to dust myself off, to try one more time.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In that moment I realized something.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I wasn’t done.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My life took a wrong turn, so I poisoned my body in an attempt to escape.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was done.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Prologue - Nicola, 9 years old</span></b><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The house is dark and eerily quiet as we make our way toward the front of the residence where the ‘formal living room’, as Mrs. Smith likes to call it, is located. I have no idea what it looks like inside, as the door is always firmly shut. Mrs. Smith pointed it out to me when she showed me around on my first day here and told me that the room was strictly off limits. Stepping inside or even opening the door earned you an immediate punishment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I’ve come to learn that within these walls, all it takes is a wrong word to earn you a punishment. Or in my case, speaking to the wrong person.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How was I to know that I couldn’t speak to the beautiful lady with the black hair and green eyes wearing the black vest over her brightly colored blouse? She was friendly. Mrs. Smith was very angry when she saw the two of us talking. She sent me inside with an angry rebuff and told me to wait for her in the kitchen. Talking to a stranger earned me a night in the punishment box.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The nightly curfew of eight o’clock has come and gone, meaning all the other children are in bed. Tucked under their covers, lying on a comfortable mattress, cozy and warm, waiting for sleep to carry them off to dreamland. I hear Mr. Smith’s shuffled footsteps upstairs, going from room to room and switching off the last of the upstairs lights, bathing the house in darkness.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I hate the dark, only because I'm afraid of what I can’t see, making falling asleep difficult for me. Every bump and creak startles me, and my overactive imagination conjures up frightening pictures which leaves me shaking in my bed. Voicing those fears gets you nothing, and especially not much-needed comfort. The Smiths don’t believe in such things. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Hurry up,” Mrs. Smith hisses, pushing me to walk faster. “We don’t have all night.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I want nothing more than to drag my feet, draw this out as much as I can, but I know that it will only be delaying the inevitable.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The closer I get to the room, which houses the punishment box, the sicker my tummy feels. Suddenly we’re there. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mrs. Smith flicks on the light switch, bathing the room in light. The walls are unadorned, painted a stark white color, the floors dark polished wood. The smell of the lavender-scented beeswax used on the floors lingers in the air. Thick white curtains that are closed cover the large window, making the room cold, dark, and foreboding.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Directly in front of the drawn drapes sits a large wooden chest. The dark wood of the box is rough and weathered, the intricate design that was painted on it eons ago faded.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The faint odor of bleach pours out when Mrs. Smith opens the lid. The smell makes my stomach turn even further, as well as making my nose burn and my eyes water. The box doesn’t look very big, and I wonder how I’m going to lie in there the whole night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mrs. Smith gives me a push toward it, clearly wanting me to get in. Climbing into that thing is the last thing I want to do, but a glare from Mrs. Smith forces me to do so, and quickly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“You’re not to move from here till morning, not even to go to the toilet. A word of warning—if you wet yourself, you’re going to have to lie in it all night, and come morning, you’re going to be scrubbing the inside of that thing. With bleach. Leaving the box means another night of punishment. Is that understood?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I just nod and try to hold the tears I can feel burning the backs of my eyes. I lie on my side and seconds later the lid slams shut, plunging me into darkness.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The crash of the lid echoes in the small space and right through my body, causing me to shake. I’ve just gone from a brightly lit room to total darkness in a matter of seconds. I raise my hands to the front of my face, but I can’t see them. I try again and again, but the result is the same. I begin to panic, bile slowly rising from my stomach. I beat at the roof of the box with my tiny fists, my voice small and sobbing at first, growing louder with each passing second as I beg to be let out. A swift kick to the box silences me. I wrap my arms around my belly as my breath comes out in rasps.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Shut up,” Mrs. Smith shushes. “You’ll wake up the whole house with your screaming. If you do, you’ll be spending another night in there.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another night?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I cringe, my muscles tensing, my body going rigid. I hold my breath to stop myself from whimpering out loud, my eyes stinging with unshed tears. Silence fills the box. I hear Mrs. Smith’s footsteps as she walks out the room, turning off the overhead light, the click of the door shutting letting me know that I’m alone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I take a deep breath before curling into a ball, pulling my nightshirt over my legs. Despite it being the middle of summer, the temperature sticky and humid outside, it’s cold within the confines of the box. I can’t stop shivering. I lie as still as I can, my small hands clapped firmly over my ears.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After a little while, my hip starts to hurt from lying in a fetal position on the bare wood. I try to find another comfortable position, but I don’t think there is one inside this box. It’s meant to be uncomfortable; it’s a punishment, after all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One night within its confines is supposed to make you grateful for everything the Smiths do for you on a daily basis. They’re the ones who took me in when nobody else wanted me. They provided me with a roof over my head and three meals a day. They provided the clothes I have on my back and even the opportunity to go to school and learn.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The last thing I feel is grateful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I would trade it all in to be back in the small trailer I called home. To feel my momma’s arms around me as she read me a bedtime story. I would even gladly eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the rest of my life, if it meant that Momma would make them in her own special way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The older children had warned me that the punishment box could be frightening the first time, but it would get easier each time. I don’t think that’s even possible.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I’m scared.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Terrified of the endless darkness that surrounds me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My eyes are closed tight, my arms wrapped around my still trembling body. My chest feels tight, and breathing in and out has become difficult. A wave of dizziness hits me, leaving my whole body weak. My heart is beating so fast, almost like it wants to jump right out of my chest.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I try my hardest to conjure my mother’s image in my mind. I want her beautiful face to comfort me, her voice to whisper soothing words to calm me, her arms to wrap around me and hold me close. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></i></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Momma, I miss you so much!</span></i></i><br />
<i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span></i> <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I allow the tears I’ve been holding in just minutes ago to fall freely. Here in this box, I allow myself to cry knowing that I won’t have to explain my tears to anyone. Won’t have to risk punishment for mentioning my mother. Mentioning her name within the walls of this house has been forbidden. I’ve been told to forget about her existence and the life I had with her. But how do I do that when I miss her every day?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">According to the Smiths, I’ve been given a second chance at redemption, by God and his earthly church. A chance to have my mind, body, and soul cleansed of the evil that flows through it. That’s why I was brought to the Smiths. They are going to make sure that by the time they’re done with me I am good and pure. Ready to serve in whatever capacity I’m needed within the church. The woman who birthed me and the biker scum who fathered me will be nothing but a distant memory.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">My first job with the Cerberus MC was to grab a girl from a seedy bar. Easy money, right?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The moment I realized the blonde I was hunting wasn’t around, I ended up captivated by a redhead dancing on the stage. With her striking features and sinful body, I knew she was trouble, but that didn’t stop me from making her mine that night.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">When I learned that she WAS the job, everything became clouded. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I was only looking for a one night stand, but when the dust settled and she ran, my only desire was to chase her. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Should I risk my job, and quite possibly my life, in order to have her?

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">So I love Marie James back in the Kincaid - Kid and Shadow days. I’m not saying I don’t love this series. I do. Why .. because you still get to see what the guys are up to. Hound is the second book in this standalone series. If you want to catch up go grab Lawson first. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Hound is a retired Marine looking for a family. Trying to set his place in the MC he is to go fetch a girl by the name of Georgia Anderson. The girl dancing on the stage isn’t her and his pick up is no where in sight. The red head on stage will just have to occupy his time. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Gigi or Orphan Annie wants the man giving her his eyes. Little do either of them know that one encounter will lead to a whole lot of trouble. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">The first few chapters I seriously was flabbergasted - I was giving myself the face palm just because of .... yup no spoilers. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">This one is a good read. Love the banter on all parties and the characters are well written. Click it up and enjoy!

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Ok so I know Christmas is over but I stumbled across this book. Why did I click -- the cover. Just look at it. How perfect. So in clicking up with NO idea what I was about to read I absolutely was gifted a gem. This is a novella that introduces us to a family of three boys raised by their father and now step-momma after their real mother leaving and never looking back a few years earlier. We open the book with Scott and Maria's wedding -- here we are introduced to Cooper -- Storm -- and Ash. The O'Loughlin boys -- </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Years have passed and the boys are all grown up -- none of them have had a completely happy life -- heartbreak -- confusion -- and sacrifice swirls around each of them in a different way. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Cooper is home for the holidays and fresh from deployment. Needless to say the mix of emotions of his own marriage falling apart along with his attraction to a woman he should not be attracted to much less in love with. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Ash is in love with his best friend since Kindergarten -- the only problem .. as crazy as it will seem and sound -- the silly girl doesn't feel the same way. Ash is nothing more than like a brother to her. A person she can count on forever -- she doesn't see Ash in the same light as he does and Ash's heart is broken. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Storm is trying to forget or remember why the love of his life and he called it quits. Running in to her again could prove worthy of a second chance or a second disaster. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">A life void of the physical, emotional and mental abuse she has endured most of her marriage, is all she's dreamed of for years.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">When Cindy, who now calls herself Callie, sets foot in Coomera, her life finally begins. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Malakai, son of the President of Crude Souls MC instantly feels responsible and protective of Callie, sensing she's hiding who she really is. But what, or who is she hiding from? </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">When Callie's past returns to haunt her, Malakai takes it into his own hands and engages the Crude Souls to provide protection.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">NOTE: There are definite triggers for those who might not care for heavy abuse and rape depicted graphically in scenes in this book. If you are a victim or do not care for this type of read then please do not click this book. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Callie is escaping from a brutal marriage -- Missy is going to help her get out. It's risky and it could cost her the life she lives but what kind of life is it. She needs to hide -- change everything and start over. Stopping in a diner to grab a bite and relieve some tension; a knight in shining armor may just have appeared - or a forbidden man. Either way this is not what Callie needs. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Malakai. A man who sees a broken woman and wants to protect her. In protecting she becomes property of the MC. He will risk everything to keep this woman safe. Even if that means risking his life. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">This book moves quickly and is not as in depth as I wanted it to be. However, I will say it's a good collaboration between two talented authors as Kathleen is one of my favorites. I know that we will see more of this very intense MC family and in fashion of hers continue to be caught up in all of the members lives -- certainly with more drama and more protective men helping strong women. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Thank you for the ARC and the chance to read! I do recommended hanging on to this series of standalones and starting the journey with the Crude MC. Please do however remember the trigger warning.

<b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">An Aussie cowboy, his feisty ex, and an unprecedented storm. Jett Wayne's Christmas just got complicated.</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">When Paris loses her job days before Christmas, her world crumbles. She returns to her parents' home in outback Australia where she plans on eating enough food to fall into a coma and sleep straight until New Year's. But when she unwittingly bumps into her ex on her way home, old feelings awaken.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Picking up Paris from the airport isn't on Jett Wayne's to-do list. Neither is dealing with their history or her cranky mood. Shit happens, like his one mistake that drove them apart. When he sees her again, he remembers the vulnerable girl from his hometown who rode horses bareback, who never backed down from an argument, and who stole his love.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">When they find themselves stranded during an unprecedented storm, they're faced with explosive emotions, secrets, and uncontrollable desires. Will Jett gamble on a second chance before Paris leaves him for good this time?</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">This is a short easy very sweet read. Paris and Jett are old flames that were torn apart by a mistake years ago. This holiday season is not looking good for Paris as her so called friend edged her way in to a job that was hers leaving her unemployed. Heading home to become a recluse for the season Paris does not expect for Jett to be standing there at the airport —- much less her ride. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Jett is not looking forward to the reunion. Picking Paris up was not on his to do list. When she comes walking towards him ... possibly all bets are off. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Love the cover - love the story - love the characters.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">New Years is the time for new beginnings. I thought I’d gotten that when I visited Texas over Thanksgiving. Then again, very little has changed. I’m still a librarian living in the same house. My daughters are growing up fast. Sure, I’ve acquired a new best friend, who’s convinced me it’s time to give dating fair shot. Which isn’t exactly easy when I’m pregnant with an As*hole’s baby. Does that complicate matters? Sorta. But there’s nothing left for me to do except move on. The jagged edges of my shattered heart have been polished, questions answered, and blank holes from my past plugged. Now I’m ready to take the plunge into uncharted waters to build a happier life… until a bomb comes along and tests my strength like never before. Nobody fu*ks with my family and gets away with it. Not even you. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">Kat and Ryker are still going at it. Kat is still a single mom but once again pregnant with jerks baby. Kade is encouraging as can be but getting out there and forgetting about the man she loves to hate is another story ... plus she’s pregnant .. let’s not forget that. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">There is something lurking in the air and it’s not pleasant. In order to stay safe Kat needs to keep her emotions in check and do whatever it takes to keep anything that could hurt her life out. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">The secondary characters are fantastic. Like true writing form these characters are completely true to what their purpose is .. there is an evil woman who you will want to rid from the pages yourself, men who are perfect and men who have so much to learn but love hard and strong women who stand their ground. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">Great read as always and great catching up with characters whom we have missed. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">When he walks into a room, he owns it. He consumes my very breath and melts my delicate little panties. From the moment he set eyes on me, he decided I was his. No one – not even my brother, Nix – was going to tell him otherwise. It doesn’t matter that Nix is President of the Kings MC Club. Jake wants what he wants, and he’ll set out to get it, whatever the cost.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Jake may be an arrogant asshole, but there’s no denying the hold he has over me. His fierce, carnal need to make me his, and his alone, is a snare I can’t escape. And truth be told, I don’t want to. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">But when my life becomes threatened, Jake Castle is the only man my brother trusts to protect me. He knows Jake will do anything to keep me safe.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">Thank you for the ARC. I enjoyed this read. Characters were strong and the strong line wasn’t super gory - those of you wanting an MC read with a more tame plot this is it. Meaning the plot is great but the detailed gore isn’t there.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">So I have not read this series, but the novella was very good. I based my review on the writing and the strength and interest factor of the characters due to that fact. I didn't feel it was fair to give the book a low rating because I had not read the series. The characters are very well written. There is a ton of kids -- a ton of characters and in fact I wish I had known them. Chances are during the holidays I will go back and grab the books up. Christmas together all in one house -- seems it could be crazy? Actually it was perfect. Loved the read -- thank you for the ARC and the chance to get to know these excellent characters. Cooper, Liz, Kayla, Hayley, Kaden, Caleb, Ashley, Bentley, and the one who there is certainly something going on with .. Bella. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">I'm always happy to read a holiday story and this one didn't disappoint. </span>Ramblings From Beneath The Sheetshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04592253339551286045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534436976328390743.post-52515977175989231862017-11-27T10:23:00.001-05:002017-11-27T10:33:57.643-05:00Amy's 4 star ARC Review of Love Notes In Christmas Falls (Book 6) by Beth Labonte<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">When Caitlin Cook left the small town of Christmas Falls, Tennessee to attend Harvard University, she left behind the burden of her parents’ slowly increasing hoard of antiques, a much younger brother, and Shane Mitchell—the boy who blindsided her with the news that he loved her on the night before she left. </span></div>
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Shane Mitchell spent his high school years fascinated by Caitlin Cook. The quiet flute player with her nose always in a book, he wanted desperately to find out what made her tick. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Eight years later, Caitlin returns to Christmas Falls—unemployed and newly single—after receiving a devastating letter from her beloved high school mentor. Caitlin is shocked to find her childhood home in disarray, and her little brother in desperate need of his sister. With Shane’s help—now a pillar of the community rather than the carefree teenager Caitlin once knew—she begins to rediscover her love for music, antiques, and possibly even Shane. When faced with the choice of rebuilding her life in Boston, or giving love a second chance in Christmas Falls, will Caitlin be able to decide on the true meaning of home? </span><br />

This is my first read with Beth Labonte and it didn't disappoint. I love my Christmas reads and it was a good one. The characters are very well written and they served as a nice curl up by the fire and drift away ..<br />
<br />
Shane and Caitlin are simply wonderful. Caitlin is home taking care of business and trying to balance the issues with her family. She was a amazing and compassionate for those that she loved. Shane was a great character. He was a perfect mix of sugar and spice. He brought a humorous mix to Caitlin's serious issues. This story line flows wonderfully and you will enjoy how everything pans out during their holiday.<br />
<br />
Good quick and quite read. I recommend picking this one up.<br />
Thank you for the ARC --</div>
