Synopsis

Welcome back to the world of Breakneck where Pyro continues to mourn the loss of Lana, ZZ’s twins drive him crazy, and the whole MC prepares for the birth of Braxxon and Winter’s child. Things are quiet and calm… Or so it seems.

Shadow’s secrets are slowly being revealed, leaving him powerless to stop the resulting havoc. With Tatiana hot on his trail every time he turns around, the tables have turned, and now, she has become his Shadow.
As Winter and Braxxon begin a hostile takeover of the BDSM club owned by Shadow’s best friend, the unthinkable happens, and the result is the worst bloodshed in Breakneck history. The torture, violence, and death caused by the carnage will have the entire MC reeling from the loss.

When Shadow finally decides to stop denying his feelings for Tatiana, he discovers it may be too late. The Breakneck family loss is far too great for Tatiana to think about her own feelings for the one man who has constantly resisted her.

Causing further drama for the Breakneck crew, the Russians step back into the picture. Whether they are friend or foe remains to be seen. And when Winter gets an unexpected visitor, it throws Tatiana in a fit of rage and rebellion.

Welcome back to the real world of Breakneck… where bloodshed and mayhem are to be expected.

Review

 

“I’ve hurt countless women  I’ve fucked, and they’ve enjoyed it.”

I went into this book like I go into any of the Crystal Spears Breakneck books . . . prepared for the worst and ready to enjoy whatever Crystal had up her sleeve. MC books in general need to be raw, real and gritty and this book was all that but so much more. Shadowing me is a great combination of a BDSM and MC book! Talk about a Dirty and Great combo!

sm1

Shadow is in no way a normal man and in no way a normal MC man, he is a beautiful breed all his own and boy does Tatiana love this particular breed. She has it bad and is completely willing to immerse herself in his lifestyle to prove that he is the man for her and that she is down to experience whatever he can give her. In so many ways I felt for her loss of innocence as ZZ’s daughter but in so many more I loved watching her become the kind of woman who can withstand Shadow!

“Shadow has a way of making me feel like I am still a child and I don’t matter. And yet, I still find myself incredibly attracted to him. It plays hell on my emotions.”

In addition to watching the insanity that is the attraction between Shadow and Tatiana we get to see the budding sibling relationship between Tatiana and the twin brother she didn’t know she had. Their relationship is a great contrast to Shadow and hers! Tatiana is at that point in her life where she is between being a woman and being a girl and while the bulk of this book is all about the MC life her development into womanhood is a highlight for me personally!

sm2.jpg

Now this is a sexy book but it is a BDSM book so just be prepared for some kinky fun! Shadow is both scary and oh so sexy! His determination to stay away and keep Tatiana pure is honorable but so hard to read at times because you really, really, really want him to find out that he deserves to be loved too! On top of all that intensity is the MC lifestyle! Shadowing me is action packed like I new it would be and once again reminded me why I love MC books and all the havoc that comes with it! If you love a gritty MC book with a sexy touch than this is definitely for you!

“It’s serious. This thing between us is fucking serious as shit. I wouldn’t risk hurting you with all my bullshit if I wasn’t. You were there. You know exactly how much I tried to resist us getting together.”

~miranda

“I want all of him, so if I need to work myself up to his satisfaction, I will. I want this lifestyle, but more importantly, I want it with him.”

“That shit can’t happen again. I won’t let it. I won’t let my demons destroy you. You think you’re into the shit that I am, and I know you’re curious about it, but it, WILL. NEVER. HAPPEN.”

Synopsis

There are three things you need to know about Ashley Winston: 1) She has six brothers and they all have beards, 2) She is a reader, and 3) She knows how to knit.

Former beauty queen, Ashley Winston’s preferred coping strategy is escapism. She escaped her Tennessee small town, loathsome father, and six brothers eight years ago. Now she escapes life daily via her Amazon kindle one-click addiction. However, when a family tragedy forces her to return home, Ashley can’t escape the notice of Drew Runous— local Game Warden, bear wrestler, philosopher, and everyone’s favorite guy. Drew’s irksome philosophizing in particular makes Ashley want to run for the skyscrapers, especially since he can’t seem to keep his exasperating opinions— or his soulful poetry, steadfast support, and delightful hands— to himself. Pretty soon the girl who wanted nothing more than the escape of the big city finds she’s lost her heart in small town Tennessee.

This is a full-length novel, can be read as a standalone, and is the fourth book in the ‘Knitting in the City’ series.

About Penny Reid

Author-Photo-Penny-Reid-300x300

SEX! It all started with sex, between my parents. Personally I don’t like thinking about it, but whatever works for you is a-ok with me. No judgment. The sex happened in California and much of my life also occurred in that state until I moved from the land of nuts (almonds), wine, silicon… boobs, and heavy traffic to the southeast US. Like most writers I like to write, but let’s get back to sex. Eventually I married and gave birth to 2 small people-children (boy-6, girl-4 as of this writing).

By day I’m a biomedical researcher with focus on rare diseases. By night I’m a knitter, sewer, lino block carver, fabric printer, soap maker, and general crafter. By the wee hours of the morning or when I’m intoxicated I love to listen to the voices in my head and let them tell me stories. I hope you enjoy their stories.

“You agreed to give me six months,” he reminds me.

“I also agreed to give you my virginity,” I add.

“But I didn’t take that.”

“No, you didn’t,” I agree. A fact that I’m painfully aware of.

“Are you still intact?” he asks, his tone raspy and deep.

A warm current zips through me, flushing my cheeks
and soaking my panties. “Of c-course.” My voice is hoarse and
Colton’s dark eyes roaming on mine make it impossible to speak clearly.

I see the vein throb at the base of his throat.

Illicit Desire Synopsis:

Raphael is everything I should run away from…

CoraPageflex Persona [document: PRS0000026_00024] Milan came to Miami to get a fresh start, away from the memories and stigma that followed her and her brother at home. When she’s mugged, Raphael Ortiz rescues her. He’s sexy, successful, and dangerous—Miami’s most eligible bachelor and it’s most elusive. A cartel lord who lives on the wrong side of the law, with only a veneer of respectability. He is the exact opposite of a clean slate, and he makes no apologies for wanting her.

When Raphael forces his way into her life, Cora knows she should run. But the attraction between them is undeniable, and Raphael is a man accustomed to getting what he wants. The more she loses herself in him, the deeper she is drawn into Raphael’s criminal world.

But when her past, and his present collide, both of them will be left grasping for the only thing that can save them from the darkness around them—each other.

Excerpt

 

We spend the day at a flea market and thrift stores. Paul keeps me distracted with silly hats and shameless flirting with every woman we see, and arguing for the most hideous furniture we come across.  After shopping all day, we get comfort food for dinner—greasy pizza and hot wings—and he gives me a smirk. “Movie night?”

I nod and glance back as we go over a bump, the couch we found wiggling ominously.

“How are we getting everything upstairs?”

“Colt is meeting us to help me move it. Why do you think I got so much pizza?”

I hesitate. Colt is a great guy and one of the only people who knows the whole truth about Graham. But he’s also a little too interested and friendly. I swallow my concern and focus on the warmth and comfort of being with my brother.

That bubble of comfort bursts when we park and a familiar Mercedes pulls in behind our truck. I stare at it in the rear view mirror as Raphael climbs out. Aggression is coming off him in waves and I feel a shiver of fear as he stalks to my door.

“Who is that?” Paul asks softly. I give him a quick look and then the door is open and Raphael hauls me out. I have a moment to take in his wild eyes before he pins me to the truck, and kisses me. His lips move over mine urgently, desperately, and it triggers my own hunger, until I’m whimpering and anxious under him.

And then he’s gone, jerked away abruptly. I blink stupidly at the empty air and see my brother between us, a wall of muscle and anger. “Back off, man,” Paul snaps.

Three things happen. Raphael swings at Paul, Lou emerges from the Mercedes, fury written on his face, and Colt pulls up on his motorcycle.

Colt comes off his bike at a flat sprint, and tackles Raphael from behind, and I see the flash of steel a second before Lou lifts the gun.

A bad situation just turned really fucking ugly.

I dart forward, and yank on the bodyguard’s arm. “No,” I snap. His eyes soften a fraction, and I hear a grunt, and the distinct sound of flesh hitting flesh. Raphael is on his back, my brother above him, fury in his eyes, while Colt prowls on the edges of the fight. Paul’s lip is bleeding, and he’s enraged, while Raphael sprawls on the ground, his entire body coiled to strike.

“Paul, stop,” I yell, and his head snaps up. Bad idea. Raphael hits him, hard, a right hook that has my brother’s eyes rolling back as he goes boneless.

Synopsis

Deputy United States Marshal Mitch Knox apprehends fugitives for a living. His calm, cool, collected attitude and devastatingly handsome good looks earn him a well-deserved bad boy reputation, both in the field and out. While away on an assignment, he blows off some steam at a notorious Dallas nightclub. Solving the case that has plagued him for months takes a sudden backseat to finding out all there is to know about the gorgeous, shy blond sitting alone at the bar.

Texas State Trooper Cody Turner is moving up the ranks, well on his way to his dream of being a Texas Ranger. While on a two-week mandatory vacation, he plans to relax and help out on his family’s farm. Mitch is the last distraction Cody needs, but the tatted up temptation that walks into the bar and steals his baseball cap is too hard to ignore.

As Mitch’s case gains nationwide attention, how will he convince the sexy state trooper that giving him a chance won’t jeopardize his life’s plan…especially when the evil he’s tracking brings the hate directly to his doorstep, threatening more than just their careers.

Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy, romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It’s always a surprise to see what’s coming next!

I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it’s true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women’s hair!

Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life – I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations – regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal… I don’t want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I’m going to tell you about Kindle.

I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I’ll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died – weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn’t have to be alone.

That time in my life was terrible. It’s everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.

Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness – it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.

Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn’t a time she wasn’t there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It’s its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn’t be here today without her.

Review

EEK!  I love the A Nice Guys series!  I thought that Colt and Jace from Double Full would always be my favorite but a certain shy state state trooper and mouthy United States marshal totally stole the show for me!  Cody and Mitch are something else and I absolutely adored every moment of this book!

We meet Mitch in Double Full but you do not really get a real idea of what his character is like until Full Disclosure.  Mitch is kind of a rebel/rule breaker, smart mouth, hilarious t-shirt wearing “nice guy”. When he sees Cody across a club one night while out releasing some steam, he knows that he wants him instantly.  Cody is shy, introverted and typically dates nerdy accountant types, but that sure does not stop him from appreciating the sexy as sin Mitch!  There is instant chemistry between these two big burly men!

“Did you hear me tell you my name’s Mitch?  I’d really like to hear you use it when I’m fucking you later.”

Cody is not looking for a relationship that will distract him from his work oriented goals but Mitch worms his way into his heart and bed and Cody only wants more and more!  And Mitch always gets what he wants!

Full Disclosure 1

As a delicious side dish to this beautiful bromance was an intriguing “who done it” mystery.  I really love Kindle’s books for this very reason.  They are chalk full of family, love, interesting characters, and good old fashion mystery.  It also doesn’t hurt that she writes m/m because I really do love it so much!  Cody and Mitch were damn sexy together.  Two beautiful big dominant men giving and taking in equal parts.  Whew.

“Take me up stairs, fuck me hard.  You know, like you mean it…”

These boys will have you all hot and bothered and in the next breath they will absolutely melt your heart.

Full Disclosure 2

No one quite writes m/m like Kindle.  I so enjoy her books and I truly cannot wait for Aaron and Kreed.  This series is only getting better and better and I have a feeling their book is going to be off the charts!  Fabulous writing, sweet alpha men, and always a beautiful love story.

About the Author

 

Hi, I’m SJ. A coffee addict, lover of chocolate and drinker of good red wines. I’m a lost soul and a hopeless romantic. Reading and writing are necessary parts of who I am. Though perhaps not as necessary as coffee! I can drink coffee without writing, but I can’t write without coffee.

 

I grew up loving romance novels, my first boyfriends were book boyfriends, but life intervened, as it tends to do, and I wandered down the paths of non fiction for many years. My life changed completely a couple of years ago and I returned to Romance to find my escape.


 

I write ‘Sweet N Steamy’ stories because to me there is enough angst and darkness in real life. My favorite romances are happy escapes with a focus on fun, friendships and happily-ever-afters, just like the ones I write.


 

These days I live in beautiful Montana, the last best place. If I’m not reading or writing you’ll find me just down the road in the park – Yellowstone. I have deer, eagles and the occasional bear for company, and I like it that way :0)

Synopsis

Sexy, tatted up, underwear model Marcus Grayson is every girl’s dream—or more likely worst nightmare. He’s a player, a self-proclaimed bachelor for life, and he’s got no problem living up to his man-whore status. But when his older sister’s friend comes back from the past, he may just have the chance to turn some of his adolescent fantasies into reality. 

Tessa Bradley is a self-sufficient, take-no-bull, single mother—well, now she is. Finally rid of her abusive, alcoholic ex, she’s making a new life for herself and catching up with old friends; the ones she was forced to break ties with because of her controlling husband. When she runs into Marcus, her friend Riley’s once-adorable turned smoking-hot little brother, she has no idea how he’s about to rock her world.

 

Review

I have had a pretty good run lately with 5 star reads so I wanted to make sure I was being critical enough with this review, but when I think back on this book, I can’t really think of any flaws so it was an easy 5/5!

Marcus is gorgeous, tattooed and a successful underwear model. He is also a notorious playboy who has never been in a relationship before; No woman has ever held his attention for longer than a quick roll in the hay. That is until his former childhood crush, Tessa, just happens to get a job at his agency and now Marcus can’t get her off his mind!

marcus_zpsbdf1119d

A lot has happened to Tessa since she last saw Marcus. She is now raising her infant son, Luca all alone, living in constant fear that her abusive ex-husband will get out of rehab and come looking for them. Reconnecting with Marcus also brings a reunion with his sister and Tessa former best friend, Riley. With both Riley and Marcus back in her life maybe Tessa can finally start healing.

Tessa_zps23b762bf

The attraction between the two is instant and the consummate bachelor is finding himself wanting to spend all of his time with both Tessa and her son. Marcus is ready to try out this “relationship” thing but Tessa on the other hand can’t understand why this young sexy model would want to get himself tied down to a single mother with major baggage. She is willing to have a good time but is sceptical about the idea of something serious with Marcus.

I absolutely fell in love with Marcus! He was such a sweetie and so super sexy!!! This playboy fell hard and fast! Tessa, although scarred by her past came across as a strong woman, determined to make a better life for herself and her son. I found that these characters had great chemistry and I truly enjoyed their journey to happiness. If you like romance, steamy sex scenes, suspense and even a few laughs this is the book for you! Book two is Riley’s story and I can’t wait to dig into that one as well.
