#1 NYT Best Selling Author Rachel Van Dyken



























Arianna Dubray is nothing like the girl she left in Baltimore. Once a Prada shoe wearing, Michael Kors bag carrying, on top of the world seventeen-year-old girl, Arianna knew that her life would never be the same when she got out of the car in middle-of-nowhere Montana. 
Canyon Michaels is the keeper of his own dark secrets. Plagued by his family name, he's forced to prove the town wrong and make it on his own. 
The last thing Arianna needs is a reason to stay, but with every passing day the decision to leave becomes harder. Once their paths cross nothing can tear them apart, other than the secrets that start to surface and the nightmares that soon become their reality.

The truck was just as ugly the second time I had seen it as it was the first. Nothing was endearing or cute about it. He must have bought it off an elderly farmer who couldn't drive anymore because no one would be selling this beast in a car lot that's for sure. Opening the door, the same wave of stale cigarette smoke hit me. This time I slid myself over to the passenger side and rolled down the window doing the same on my side after I was done. The cracking noise could still be heard when I pulled the door closed too.

"I can't say I expected you to change while I was in class but it sure would have been nice."

I put the key in the ignition and turned it over only to hear a click and then nothing.

"NO, NO, NO! Please don't do this to me!"

Four more attempts with the same result. Nothing.

"SHIT!"

I pulled out my phone to call for someone to get me but that someone didn't exist. He would rather me never come back. My mother wouldn't dare go against his wishes and Shelby obviously can't drive.

Grabbing my purse and backpack I started doing the only thing I could, I walked. I tried to find positive in a negative situation but there really wasn't one. My feet hurt, I was thirsty and if one more person drove by staring at me without even offering me a ride I was going to flip out. I thought country people were supposed to be nice. Isn't that what everyone says? Well, they're wrong or there aren't any in Highgrove, Montana.

My cell phone died sometime around four-thirty. Well, that was the last time I checked it and around ten minutes later it was dead. I had been walking for over an hour and a half and saw a total of two cars.

"WHAT THE HELL HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS?" I screamed it at the top of my lungs hoping God would just finish the job and take me out of my misery.

All of a sudden, I heard the engine of a car coming from behind me. This was it. My final hope for humanity to restore itself. It got closer. I could feel the wind change and the vibration within it.

"Please, please be someone nice enough to give me a ride or someone crazy enough to off me ‘cause I can't take this anymore."

I turned around just as the truck approached me praying for a miracle but sure enough the prick kept his foot on the pedal.

"That's fucking it!"

I grabbed a handful of rocks from the side of the road and threw them right at that pretty truck he was driving.

"Have that, asshole!"

The brake lights came on just as the clang from the rocks started hitting the tailgate. The tires screamed against the blacktop while the back end kicked to the side from stopping so fast. My eyes practically bulged out of my head when the driver side door flew open.

"OH, SHIT."

And oh shit was mild compared to what I would have said if I had known who the fury coming at me was before I decided to throw rocks at his truck. How could I not have thought it was him? I had seen that truck before.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

"ME? YOU’RE THE ASSHOLE THAT WOULDN'T EVEN STOP FOR A POOR GIRL WALKING DOWN A FREAKING ENDLESS ROAD!"

"WHY WOULD I?"

"UGH!"



I can't believe I did it. Never in a million years would I have ever even thought to do something like this but I reached down in my rage, grabbed a handful of rocks again and threw them right at his chest. Wall of muscle or not he could take that and suck on it.

No Limit by L.P. Dover Release Day Blitz








Title: No Limits

Series: Armed and Dangerous #1

Author: L.P. Dover

Genre: NA Romance

Release Date: June 1, 2015








Murder. Lies. Betrayal.



I deal with those things every day. My name is Jason Avery, one of the best undercover agents in the country. I have yet to fail on a mission, which is why I’ve been sent to Vegas. Countless women have been abducted, tortured, only to show up dead in the middle of the night. It’s my job to find out which sick fuck is responsible. Unfortunately, every lead sends me to a dead end; at least, until Aylee McFadden shows up at my door.



Aylee is a stubborn, headstrong FBI agent and also one of the sexiest women I’ve ever seen with a gun. In joining me, it gives us the leverage we need to get on the inside. She fights me at every turn, but soon realizes there’s more to me than tattoos and a dirty mouth. I can’t get enough of her. Now that we’re in the game, we’re one step closer to solving the crime. However, gambling with money isn’t what the big boys want. They want the one thing I’m not willing to give.



It’s a no limit game, and if I back down I lose everything. I will lose her.

My ARC review of Hard Charger (Rebel Guardians MC #1) by Tracy Fobes

ARC received for an Honest Review
3-3.5 stars

Synopsis

A town on the brink of desperation…

Hunky soldier Jake Gallant is back from the war, and he’s trying to reclaim his life in the New Jersey town he calls home. But Rockport Grove isn’t the same as when he left. Organized crime has taken over the close-knit beach community and, while many law-abiding residents still call this community home, corruption, extortion, and a sense of hopelessness make it difficult for some to decide which side of the law they are on.

A man who drinks his whiskey straight…

A need for tranquility after the harshness of the battlefield beckons Jake to ride off into the sunset and not look back. Still, war has changed this tattooed bad boy in ways even he can’t begin to understand. A promise to protect those he loves and his uncontrollable yearning for a gorgeous, yet mysterious woman places him at a crossroads of emotions and indecision.


Each book in this series will feature a different member of the Rebel Guardians Motorcycle Club. Hard Charger, the first book, promises an adventure of desire, suspense, and passion that eclipses it all. Come join me on the ride!
Book 1: Hard Charger
Book 2: Defiance
Book 3: Hot Ride
Book 4: Detonation

My Review -

All in all this was a decent read.  I rate this 3-3.5 stars.

We meet Jake and Sophia in this one.  Jake is ex military - turned biker- even after years of saying he wouldn't join the club.  Sophia is the best friends sister that was always younger and off limits. Their meeting back up is awkward and little Sophia has kept a secret all these years.  There isn't much about the actual MC until towards the end.  Maybe that was just a way of giving the back story of the characters and the town.  Speaking of town -  There is drama in their town that is still left unanswered or attended to towards the end of the book. The author had tiny plot twists that had me saying "ahhhh".  The relationship between Jake and Sophia was not really complete....we are left with a cliffhanger.  There were secrets kept and once they are exposed....Justice is what the characters are looking for.  The sex is good though!  =)  I think with the cliffhanger we are left with, we are looking at a great MC series in the future.  I think this one just fell a tad flat to me when it came to the actual MC side but again, that could have been what the author wanted.  The author could have just been setting us up with all the back history and such that will lead us into the next book where the cliffy left us hanging.  Would I recommend this to friends.... yes!

Excerpt




My heart stopped beating. “We can
be friends,” he breathed, his lips intensely intimate along my neck. His lips
hesitated over my throat. “Or we can be more.”








My nerves kicked into high gear.
More? More what? I had to keep reminding myself of what he was. I also had to
remind myself to inhale and exhale. He was playing with my emotions. One moment
he was charming and the next, well, that was the question. I fought internally
with how to respond. I wasn’t even sure if I could respond with his mouth so close to me.

My Review of May - Calendar Girl by Audrey Carlan

Received an ARC for an honest review
4 stars

Synopsis

Swimsuits, sun, surfing, and a sexy Samoan. I headed to the island of Oahu, Hawaii to meet with cutting-edge swimsuit fashion designer, Angel D’Amico, to serve as head model for the “Beauty Comes in All Sizes” swimsuit campaign. The designer wants to show the world that beauty is not just a size two. My curves got me into this gig, and, the moment I laid eyes on my modeling “partner,” I’d never been happier with my buxom form.

Tai Niko had everything the average man lacked. Height, broad shoulders, a nipped in waist, square pecs, tree trunk thighs, and a look that rivaled “The Rock.” The part that made me drool and weakened my knees, was the thick, intricate tribal tattoos running down the entire left side of his muscled frame from shoulder to ankle. The design was unlike anything I’d ever seen, and I couldn’t wait to trace the tips of my fingers over every inch.

***

In the fifth book of the Calendar Girl serial, Mia is sent to Oahu, HI. Still on her mission to save her father, she embraces the model life to prove beauty really does come in all sizes.

Each installment in the Calendar Girl Serial will release every month throughout 2015. The stories will feature Mia’s journey as an escort to twelve clients in twelve different locations.

Warning: This book is designed for audiences 18+ due to language and graphic sexual content. (less)




My Review -

In this installment we find ourselves in Hawaii with Mia.  It's a little different this go around.  It's a different direction this time.  Not so much about the job she was hired for but about Mia letting go and living a little.  Having Fun!  She brings her best friend Ginelle and her sister Maddy over for a Girls vacation which was much needed by all.  Mia just goes with the flow and let's loose and has fun for the month without worrying about why she needs the money for the job she was hired to do.  Which was a model this go around.  We don't really hear much about the job either this time =)   Mia does meet the sexy samoan Tai and let me tell you the chemistry and the sex is like one of the volcanos erupting!  H O T!!!!   All in all this was a Fun read - watching Mia enjoy her family time and have some great sex and not worry too much about what our favorite Wes is back in the states doing.    Another great job !  Can not wait to see what she does in June... My birthday month HA!
