Synopsis

Logan McPherson and Elle Sterling continue to thrill in this powerful conclusion to their tantalizing, provocative, and unexpected sizzling romance that began in Blow.

The danger isn’t over.
It’s only just begun.

Circumstances brought them together and their undeniable connection won’t let them part. But when the past and the present collide, emotions run high—things are said, lines are crossed, and rules are broken. Both focused on crushing the enemy, the retribution is almost too much to bear. Still, there’s no undoing what has already been done, and every action has a consequence.

He loves her and she loves him, but love isn’t a shield.

Sometimes your only choice is the one you’d rather not make. Pushed to the limit, the tainted love of Logan and Elle is in jeopardy. With outside forces driving a wedge between them, they have to dig deep within their souls to release the ghosts of their pasts, and fight even harder for what neither knew they needed—each other.

Can love really conquer all?

Review

 

We are thrown back int the whirlwind of Logan and Elle’s love life. Elle has been threatened by Logan’s nemesis and Logan will do anything to protect her while also battling the mob, drug rings and death itself so they can remain together. But maybe this time the only way for them both to be safe is to walk away….does true love really conquer all?

“Was everything that was falling apart around us fate telling me I should have known better than to think we could belong to each other?”

You must read Blow before this as it picks up straight from the ending of Blow. We don’t get a second to breathe and are thrown straight back into this raw, passionate, suspenseful and sexy story of Logan and Elle.  Logan still remains the protective, strong, dangerous and sexy man we came to love in Blow. And Elle is a female lead we cheer for; she’s determined, brave, and loves with a fierceness that makes you believe it will never die.

“In that moment there was nothing more I wanted than to feel her arms around me, press my body to hers, look into her eyes and tell her we were going to be just fine. But that would be a lie.”

There’s passion, suspense, drama, sex, love, sadness…everything you need to make this a read that you won’t be able to put down. Not only do Logan and Elle have to battle wars created in Blow but more obstacles are thrown their way that could cripple the relationship that both of them so desperately want and deserve.

“Somewhere deep in the fiery pit of my soul, I doubted it was really her. I feared that because I was a sinner, my punishment was going to be losing her. Absolution. Redemption. I vowed to seek both.”

Kim creates a world that is extreme and yet believable at the same time. She has created characters who burrow themselves into your heart until you feel their pain and their love. The plot doesn’t let you take a breathe until the very last page and even then you will be left wanting more.

Staying on Course

Review

Staying on Course is very much a story that continues on after the final curtain has fallen of the previous book and how our stunning couple came to be; it ended with a happy-for-now so Staying on Course guides us deeper into their relationship and all the intricacies that can either corrode the connection or prove just how solid and unique their love is.  It’s serious, relatable, mature and above all else realistic in its portrayal of a loving relationship and the woes and struggles that mar even the most perfect of couples and for Devon and Bryce, the winding and complicated road to a happily ever after, has a few more obstacles obstructing the way than your average romance but this is what takes it from a cute and sweet romance and elevates it up to quirky, emotional, dramatic and coasting towards epic.

‘“I’ve been in love with Devon Harris since the day I laid eyes on her.  She’s the most beautiful thing in my world, probably always has been.  You call her a girl, and that’s fine because she’s my girl.  But she’s also all woman, and I am lucky to be linked to her.  If there’s anything I need, it will come from her because she’s my everything.”’

Staying On Course has a fantastic array of characters  but somehow it’s always the ones that you love to hate that become imprinted on your mind and Ahren is superb at creating these manipulative, emotionally vampiric she-devils that burst onto the page simply to create havoc and devastation and holy he!! is there a whopper of a bitch in this one.  Devon and Bryce’s pretty fresh relationship, although profound and incredibly meaningful still has to stand the test of long-distance careers, miscommunications and aforementioned scheming she-devils and it was so well written, with style and substance and intelligence that the entire book passes in the blink of an eye and you only realise you’re done when you stop to realise how emotionally strung out you are, which in this case is an awesome thing!  Highs and lows, frustrations and triumphs, dirty talking sex and sweetly whispered phone calls, it all bands together to deliver a brilliant story that will have you bawling, bitching and sighing in awe.  My only problem with the story was how Bryce handled a certain ‘situation’, I really wanted him to back Devon up a wee bit more with some much needed reassurance and affirmative action, especially considering how it all went down previously but he did make up tremendously for this shortcoming in the long run and we also got my favourite thing to read at the end of a great love story-an epilogue.

Excerpt:

My doorbell rang.

What?

I looked at the clock and realized it was already 7:30.

So that meant it was Beckett on the other side of the door.

Shit.

I looked down at my half-naked body.

Shit!

And then I started freaking out.

“I’ll be right there!” I yelled.

Should I let him in?

But I was practically naked!

I couldn’t let him see me like this!

Maybe I should own it. Shake my hips and let him get a look at the goods.

Like that would ever happen.

Crap, what was I going to wear?

I grabbed a pair of jeans from my floor and wiggled them on, not really paying attention to which ones they were.

I reached into my closet and pulled the closest shirt off the rack. I tied my hair into a ponytail and slipped on a comfortable pair of ballet flats.

I hoped Beckett hadn’t planned on five-star dining because I was dressed more for a McDonalds milkshake before hanging with the bowling league.

“Sorry,” I said, out of breath, opening the door and letting Beckett inside.

“I was starting to think I needed to break in and make sure you hadn’t gotten stuck in the toilet or something.” Beckett looked damn near perfect in a dark pair of jeans and button-up blue shirt the same color as his eyes.

He had even gotten a haircut. Way to make me feel like a total underachiever in the getting ready department, buddy.

“Looks like you cut yourself,” I said, indicating the piece of toilet paper stuck to his chin.

“Fuck. I forgot about that,” he muttered, pulling it off, looking embarrassed.

“You should have left it there. It’s cute,” I teased, putting on my black wool coat.

“You ready?” he asked.

“As I’ll ever be.” I gave him a wide smile and he laughed.

“I’m not taking you to your death by firing squad. You could act a bit more excited.”

I jumped up and down, clapping my hands together. “OMG, Beck! I can’t wait!” I gasped.

“Is that better?” I asked, closing my apartment door behind me and locking it.

“Much.” Beckett leaned down and I swear he was checking out my ass.

“Excuse me, but what in the hell are you doing?” I demanded.

“Are you aware that the Cheshire cat is on your right butt cheek?”

I craned my body to get a look at what he was talking about. And sure enough, there was a bright purple patch with the damn Cheshire cat on my derriere.

“I must have picked up the wrong jeans,” I groaned. These were my hanging-out-doing-laundry jeans. Not meant to be seen by anyone but myself and the cat.

“I was in a rush. I couldn’t figure out what to wear. It was stressful,” I tried to explain, pulling my coat down over my feline-covered bum.

“The last thing I want is to stress you out, Cor-Cor.”

I smacked his arm. “I thought I warned you about using that damn nickname,” I threatened.

“I show up with toilet paper stuck to my face and you have a cat on your butt. I think we make a pretty awesome pair,” Beckett snickered, unlocking his car.

The first time I met Brody Easton was in the men’s locker room.

It was my first interview as a professional sportscaster.

The famed quarterback decided to bare all.

And by all, I don’t mean he told me any of his secrets.

No. The arrogant ass decided to drop his towel, just as I asked the first question. On camera.

The Super Bowl MVP quickly adopted a new hobby—screwing with me.

When I pushed back, he shifted from wanting to screw with me, to wanting to screw me.

But I don’t date players.

And it’s not because I’m one of the few women working in the world of professional football.

I’d date an athlete.

It’s the other kind of player I don’t date.

You know the type. Good looking, strong, cocky, always looking to get laid.

Brody Easton was the ultimate player.

Every woman wanted to be the one to change him.

But the truth was, all he needed was a girl worth changing for.

Turned out, I was that girl.

Simple right?

Let’s face it. It never is.

There’s a story between once upon a time and happily ever after…

And this one is ours.

EXCERPT:

Excerpt One

Opening the door, I smiled. Adaline was standing there with an umbrella over her head as the rain came down steadily. “Hey. I had to ask which one was your bus. You’ve gotten a different one.”

My smile faded some as I nodded. “Yeah, well a lot of things are different now.”

Adaline’s face fell as she asked, “May I come in?”

“Um, yeah but Robert’s here and—”

Robert pushed past me and waved to Adaline. “Hey, Adaline! Great seeing you again. I’m headed back to the hauler, Emmit. See ya later.”

Slowly shaking my head, I shot daggers at my so-called best friend.

Lola barked and Adaline let out a gasp. “Oh, my gosh. There’s a dog!”

“Always were observant, Adaline.”

Adaline shot me a dirty look as she slowly nodded. “Well anyway, I’m sorry Robert ran off. I’ll let him know he can come back.”

Adaline turned and walked off as I squeezed my eyes shut and cursed under my breath. “Fuck!” I hissed through my teeth. Stepping out into the rain, I called for her. “Adaline, wait. I’m sorry, if you want to come in, you’re more than welcome to.”

Turning around slowly, Adaline raised an eyebrow. “Anyone else in there?”

I didn’t even care I was getting wet. “Like who?” I asked with a confused look.

With a shrug, Adaline walked back over to me and started up the steps as I stepped back in and told Lola to sit. Adaline stepped into my bus and looked around as her eyes widened in surprise as she glanced back toward the bedroom. “Oh, I don’t know, Cookie maybe?”

Holy living hell. Adaline was jealous.

Synopsis

There were two things Emmit Lewis loved.

Racing cars and Adaline Morgan.

Time was stolen from the two young lovers and Emmit vowed never again would he allow anything to come between the two of them.

Blurred lines both on and off the track have Emmit being tested beyond his limits. Will he reach the checkered flag and ignite Adaline’s heart, or will he be black-flagged and lose everything he has ever dreamed of?

Book one in the Speed series.

Review

“…I need to find who I am and follow my own dreams.”

Adaline Morgan is very much in love with Emmit Lewis. Their young love, rooted in a nearly life-long friendship, progressed naturally to a romantic relationship. She stood behind Emmit as he chased his dreams on the NASCAR track, but she’s got dreams of her own. Dreams that are not conducive to living the NASCAR life on the road. One thing she knows, though, is that she loves Emmit enough to let him go so her dreams don’t interfere with his.

“Emmit, I don’t want to leave you.”

Emmit Lewis, on the cusp of NASCAR greatness at the tender age of nineteen, has everything he wants within his grasp. With Adaline – his best friend, biggest supporter and the love of his life – by his side, anything is possible. On the night of his first big NASCAR win, he has big plans to surprise Adaline, but it’s she who surprises him.

“Please don’t fall in love with someone else, Addie.”

Spending their days chasing Emmit’s dreams on the NASCAR circuit, he’s realizing them. His future is bright, and he sees Adaline right there with him as his wife. But confusion nearly overwhelms Addie as warring dreams of a life with Emmit and a career as a nurse pull her in two directions. Addie just isn’t sure that she’s cut out for life on the road, and on the night of Emmit’s big win, as he proposes, she breaks up with him to move to Austin to attend nursing school.

“I was getting the second chance I had prayed for so many nights.”

Time is a thief and steals from the young lovers as distance and separate lives inevitably cause them to drift apart. Three years later, Adaline has graduated nursing school and is offered an opportunity to utilize her skills in Emmit’s world. It time away from Emmit taught Addie anything, it’s that she’s never stopped loving him, and she regrets breaking up with him. She’s grabbing this opportunity with both hands in the hopes that she can win him back. For his part, while he played the part of a playboy in an attempt to forget about Adaline, he’s also never stopped loving her, and he’s not going to mess up this chance to get her back.

“You calm the storm inside of me, Addie.”

With both of them wanting to get back together badly, it is no surprise when they do or that it happens faster than a lap around the track. They quickly work through their issues and are a happily reconciled couple moving forward towards their future. But not everyone on Emmit’s team is as happy as the couple is that Adaline is back in Emmit’s life, this time to stay.

“I just want to make Addie mine already.”

Both knowing what they want – a lifetime together – they waste no time in making up for their three years apart. They are engaged quickly and a destination wedding is in the works. But someone is not happy about their plans and is throwing roadblocks up as the couple moves toward their trip down the aisle. They have a suspect, but is it the right suspect?

“Always you and me, Addie. Forever.”

This was my first novel by Kelly Elliot, and my first NASCAR themed story. I enjoyed it. The plotline moved along quickly focusing not only on the rekindling of Addie and Emmit’s romance but also a suspenseful side story. The characters were well developed and the author’s writing style is very descriptive. The epilogue teases the next book, and it definitely piqued my interest.  4 smooches from me for Kelly Elliot’s Ignite!

The New York Times bestselling author of Reaper’s Stand is back in her “uber-alpha rough world of MCs”* as one woman’s future is rocked by the man whose hardcore past could destroy her…

He never meant to hurt her.

Levi “Painter” Brooks was nothing before he joined the Reapers motorcycle club. The day he patched in, they became his brothers and his life. All they asked in return was a strong arm and unconditional loyalty—a loyalty that’s tested when he’s caught and sentenced to prison for a crime committed on their behalf.

Melanie Tucker may have had a rough start, but along the way she’s learned to fight for her future. She’s escaped from hell and started a new life, yet every night she dreams of a biker whose touch she can’t forget. It all started out so innocently—just a series of letters to a lonely man in prison. Friendly. Harmless. Safe.

Now Painter Brooks is coming home… and Melanie’s about to learn that there’s no room for innocence in the Reapers MC.

Excerpt

“You want to watch a movie or something?” she asked, nodding toward the TV. I had a decent one, too. Giant-ass flat-screen—homecoming present from the club.

“Sure,” I said, reaching for the remote. I didn’t have cable, but Ruger had set up some kind of box thingie for me so I could stream shit. “Whatcha in the mood for?”

“Not horror,” she said quickly, and I laughed again, remembering that first evening I’d spent with her at Pic’s house. She’d been so young and scared and vulnerable . . . I’d wanted to eat her up.

I still wanted to eat her.

“I can’t believe that you and Puck were supposed to be watching over me, and then you put in a slasher movie. That’s not how you make a girl feel safe.”

“No horror,” I agreed, although the thought of holding her for a couple hours while she was scared shitless appealed way more than it should. Watch it, asshole. “How about Star Wars?”

“You like Star Wars?”

I shrugged. “Everyone likes Star Wars. You know, I’m pretty damned sure Han Solo was a biker.”

She giggled. “You mean, like a space biker?”

“See, when you say it like that it sounds stupid.”

“I wanted to be Princess Leia. She’s badass,” she said, taking a deep drink of her beer. I watched as her lips wrapped around the neck, her throat swallowing. Oh fuck, that was good. She set the beer down on the coffee table with a clink, then let loose with the biggest burp I’d ever heard.

“Fucking hell,” I said, stunned. “I didn’t think girls could burp like that. Shit. Impressive, Mel. Very impressive.”

She grinned at me.

“We’re friends,” she told me. “And friends don’t need to worry about stuff like that. Let me guess—you’ve never had a female friend before?”

“Not really,” I admitted. “I’m think I’m a little scared.”

Scared and turned on, which was weird.

“You should be. I can do the whole alphabet.”

Damn. I kinda wanted to see that.
