Synopsis

Casey Alexander grew up part of the Ravage Motorcycle family since the day she was abandoned by her mother and thrown into her father’s lap. Always seeing herself as an outsider, she spent her whole life trying to fit in, but never really succeeding. When she loses her beloved father, the utter aloneness engulfs her, leaving her searching for solace in the one man she’s always craved. Confessing her love for him only results in devastation when he pushes her away. Convinced she needs a fresh start, she leaves everything behind in order to mend her broken heart and begin building a future without him.

Gage Thomas (G.T.) Gavelson fell in love with his Angel when he was just a pint sized kid. Both beautiful and smart, he always felt she deserved so much better than him. Growing up beside her in the club only continued to test his will power, until one night, he gave into temptation. Realizing he couldn’t allow himself to hold her back from the life she deserved, he pushed her away, allowing her to believe she would never be enough for him. Letting her go had been the hardest thing he’d ever done. Even though he’d thought it’d been the right thing to do, not a day goes by that misery doesn’t consume him for it.

When a tragic shootout occurs, everything changes as once again their lives are intermingled. When you find your way back to the one person you are meant to be with, forgiveness should be easy. But sometimes, we hurt each other too much to ever be able to forgive.

Is their love strong enough to heal their pain?

Review

After reading Ravage Me, I thought that Seduce Me would follow the same writing style, but it was completely different in a very good way. There was so much more emotion and connection with the characters. It was still a biker book, with all things bikers, but there was a great story that established an emotional connection with the reader.

Casey just had to get away from the biker world, she wanted to get a degree and make her father proud. GT was a biker who wanted Casey, but never thought he was good enough for her. The book revolves around their attraction and the connection that cannot be broken.

I absolutely loved this book; I honestly connected so much more with Seduce Me than the first book, Ravage Me. I loved the different points of view from Casey and GT.

GT: “I’m a selfish prick and almost dying has put a few things in perspective. I don’t deserve her but I need her. I need her like air. And this time, I am not fucking up. I can’t.”

Casey: “He kisses me again, but the kiss is full of promise, of hope, of love. I can feel it with every fiber of my body and I want to believe it. More than anything. I want this…him.”

I think to appreciate this story, you have to read book #1 first! Then once you get through the crazy antics of Princess and Cruz, you can get to the heart of the story with Casey and GT. You can’t go wrong with this book! Great read!!

After all that has happened in his life, can love be reborn?

Ahmad wasn’t really my favorite male character out there, and I have no specific reason why, I just wasn’t all that attracted to him. His story however, was heartbreaking, and without giving any spoilers, the author told his story so well. She actually broke your heart, and then slowly mended it as the story progressed. You could feel what the characters were going through. The emotions run deep and the drama is top notch, with a little bit of sexy to tie it all together. Some of the dialogue definitely can make you laugh out loud.

The Spelling and grammar are great and the story is written well.

I would absolutely recommend this Author!!

Synopsis

Taking on an opportunity to launch a new clothing line in California, Landrey finds herself in a situation for which she has longed, but never imagined could actually happen. When she runs into the one man for whom she would have given up everything, passion reignites between Landrey and the engaging, blue-eyed Zaine Brooks. Their relationship blossoms, but somebody doesn’t like it. A intimidating string of events begins to hit too close to home and threatens the happiness it has taken her so long to find. Will this fear keep Landrey and Zaine Forever Waiting

Review

This book follows the story of Landrey and Zaine. It starts with kind of a back story of them and it seemed like insta love. He wanted her to move with him to California, but she decides that because of her past demons and insecurities she can’t go and leaves him waiting at the airport for her. We then skip 8 years later when their paths cross again.

The meeting between these 2 starts off a little awkward and the tension from what happened all these years ago is completely still there. They talk through things and the relationship between them seems to progress. A trip away soon turns things sour between them, and we move forward 3 weeks with both Landrey and Zaine being miserable. After talking things through, they decide that what they have is worth fighting for.

Twists and turns happen in this book, lies are told, ex’s re appear and cause drama. The twists added a little something extra to this story.

The reason that I gave 3 and a half stars, is because I personally felt that we didn’t really get to know the characters, it also felt a little rushed and things seemed to be brushed over.

Synopsis

Recent graduate Becca Stine’s all to perfect and predictable life went spiraling out of control when her supposed childhood friend committed the ultimate betrayal. Following college, Becca attempts to bury the pain by retreating into a dangerous lifestyle with her best friend, Jamie Rae. She decides it’s time to grow up after being irresponsible, broken, and out of control. To Becca’s horror, her only option is to return to her hometown of Grand Rapids. Worried she will forever live in the shadow of her prominent family’s notability, Becca decides moving is her only opportunity to get her feet back on the ground. With her best friend in tow, Becca reluctantly heads home to attempt to live her ideal life. Little does Becca know the owner of the architecture firm she lands a job with has an intriguingly mysterious son. Tyler Conklin is infatuated with Becca, yet is apprehensive about a public relationship because of his hidden baggage. Not wanting anyone to know about his slight obsession with her, their potential relationship must be kept a secret. Will Becca put up with Tyler’s untold story for long? Will she tolerate being his secret?

Review

Becca is fairly timid and never feels like she is good enough. Everyone is always putting her down. Her own mother is always telling her she will never be a size 2 and she should stop eating. She just wants to be loved for who she is not who they all want her to be.

At her new job, in walks Tyler; he is the bosses son, he runs the company with his dad and two brothers. Now, Tyler has his own issues and those issues cause him to want to keep his budding relationship with Becca a secret, and not because of what she thinks. She thinks it’s because she is not perfect and that she is no way good enough for him, but they have to learn to deal with these things together, and its extremely hard to get either of them to open up. So, while she thinks she is not good enough, and that she is fat and frumpy, Tyler thinks she is wonderful and beautiful and not at all frumpy or fat ….shes a real woman, and he is falling for her big time.

 Tyler’s father is just one big complete douche bag, and you will see that as the story goes on … I don’t want to give too much away by elaborating. Ashlynn, is the queen of “great big fat “c” word, to end all “c “ words, and someone really needs to stick a fork in her eye. Because of her, for the briefest of moment, I hated Tyler, and I believe I was meant too. So when I was back in his fan base I could love him that much harder.   She is a witch but it helps you appreciate Tyler and Becca all that much more. Tyler and Becca have many ups and down, and some heartaches in between. Their story is told wonderfully and the ending, I really really like how the author ended this first book. I am so glad Becca did what she did, and Tyler did what he did …. I can honestly say it gave me a happy pang in my heart for them. The Grammar and spelling are OK, there are spelling errors but nothing I couldn’t get past…

I would definitely read the next two in this trilogy and would recommend it to others.
