5 Smooches!

Synopsis

Jenna “Ice” Chandler grew up as part of a motorcycle club. She considered it her home, until one wrong move made it her prison. After months of abuse, she is rescued by Chipper, who takes her to Big Clifty, Missouri, home of the Renegade Sons MC.

Kiddrick “Kidd” Jones is the president of the Renegades. He knows there is something special about Ice the moment his older brother, Chipper, brings her into the club, but stays away, because she is too young.

When time comes for Ice to take her place in the club, she has two choices, become an old lady or a club whore. Not believing in love and knowing a man can never be faithful, she decides to earn her spot on her back.

With each passing year, Kidd’s feelings for Ice grows and the urge to make her his becomes stronger. Frustrated and jealous, he finally decides it’s time to make her his.

Will Ice finally thaw out and give love a chance, or is Kidd fighting a losing battle?

Review

Holy Smokes!  I have no idea why I waited so long to read this book.  I absolutely love MC books and I should have snatched this baby up as soon as I saw it.  Renegade Lady is a true MC book in every sense of the word.  It was gritty, raw, dark, and sexy.

Kidd and Jenna’s story is not an easy one.  Jenna’s, specifically, starts out very dark.  She is raised by a mother who doesn’t show any interest in her at all and an absent father most of the time.  When her mother dies she goes to her fathers motorcycle club to tell him she needs his help.  At the tender age of 16 her father gives her to another member of his MC in exchange for his silence.  Poor Jenna is subjected to way more than anyone should have to bare.  Eventually, Jenna is rescued by Chipper, who becomes her surrogate father and his wife, Mindy, who loves Jenna as her own daughter.  Kidd is Chippers brother and the moment he meets Jenna, he knows there is something special about her.  He wants her but knows that she is just a kid.  He plans to wait until her eighteenth birthday when he can finally have her.  But fate has other plans for Jenna and Kidd.  Life is not always so easy and death, regret, and guilt get in the way of their chance at happiness.

Kidd and Jenna’s story spans years and years.  It is full of heartache and longing.  Renegade Lady literally had me gripped from the very first page.  The writing is very good and I honestly couldn’t tell there was two writers.  I have no idea where one writer left off and the other began.  I really loved it.  If you are a fan of other MC books, you will love this one.  I cannot wait for the next installment in this series, Renegade Reject.

Two people, out for adventure and excitement, meet and begin a journey of fun, thrills, lust and desire. But, is Marc all he seems to be? What is he hiding?

Review

This book follows the story of Isabel and Marc. Isabel is a single mother who is having a week holiday on her own, she is spending her week in a hotel enjoying some alone time. Marc is staying at the hotel as part of a business trip, Marc comes from the US and is there to present to the local university.

Isabel and Marc meet at the hotel and they don’t seem to spend anytime separate after the first meeting apart from when Marc has to attend to business. Marc makes Isabel feel special and he starts to give her confidence back that she has lost in the past.

We get to meet a person from Marc’s past in the book, who seems to be out to cause trouble. The first meeting between the two women doesn’t seem to go well and we are left wondering what problems she is trying to cause between Marc and Isabel. We don’t have to wait long to find out what it is that she wants, as Marc soon opens up and tells Isabel what the issue that he has with his friend is.

The reason for not giving more than 3 and a half stars, is because I personally couldn’t really connect with the characters and I felt at times the book was rushed. This being said I am left wondering what will happen in the next book as the ending left you with questions.

Synopsis

Nia has one rule—don’t date neighbors. Simple, except the guy next door is single, handsome, and not inclined to close his blinds while naked. When her car dies, Conn takes “being neighborly” to a new level by offering a ride to her long-distance destination. Nia has resisted his looks and charm for months. Surely she can handle a few hours in his truck…

For months, Conn has blatantly put himself on display, hoping his pretty blonde neighbor would tire of secretly watching and come knock on his door for a cup of sugar-or more. No such luck—until an unusual opportunity arises. After a six-hour drive turns into a sweet-and-sexy weekend, Conn wants more than neighborly status with Nia. To get it, he must convince her to break the rule protecting her heart—by putting his on the line.

*hot contemporary romance with some explicit sexual content*

Review

Conn has always fancied his cute, sexy, innocent but very shy neighbour Nia and when the opportunity arises for him to spend hours with her in a car he jumps at the chance, so along with his adorable dog Zeus, him and Nia are forced to spend time together which in the end leads to a steamy night in a motel along with Conn meeting the family. The question is can Conn convince his shy neighbour (who has a rule about not dating men who live close to her) that they deserve more than just one night together? And will Nia let down her walls a little and let Conn into her heart?

“One word and I’ll give you anything you want, everything you need.”

This was a fun, flirty, easy, light read. If your just looking for a nice and easy romance to make you smile on a rainy day then this is the perfect story for. If you are looking for something with a bit more substance or that has some action/drama or suspense to it then this isn’t the one.

“I’m discovering I like you every way.”

I actually loved both Conn and Nia. I think they were perfect for this story.
Nia was adorable, she was shy but funny and I thought it was sweet when she would “squeak.” I think some readers may find her purity a bit annoying but I honestly loved it and she was someone who was so easy to like and relate to.
Conn was just the perfect male really. Good looking, kind, sweet, funny and just an all round nice guy. You really couldn’t dream up a better guy and you really couldn’t imagine a more perfect match for Nia. It also helped that he had the cutest dog in Zeus.

“Tonight she was Conn’s sweetheart. His lover. Somebody he refused to let get away.”

The plot line was good if you are looking for an easy romance. It was light-hearted and made me smile. It was funny, sweet, warm with a bit of sexy thrown in and it left me feeling happy on a rainy day.

“Be my girl, not the girl next door.”

Synopsis

Elijah Penn
Handsome. Successful. Single.
And looking for a polyamorous relationship.
It has been four years since his wife died, but Elijah knows that there will never be another woman who will claim his heart and he isn’t willing to replace her. He isn’t interested in marriage, but he is interested in something with a future.

Logan and Samantha McCoy
Attractive. Ambitious. Married.
And looking for a polyamorous relationship.
Logan and Samantha spent the last year and a half avoiding a very specific desire that neither of them can quite let go of. They aren’t interested in a casual fling with a stranger, so they’ve been holding back.

Is it possible that the three of them have stumbled upon something that just might be the answer to all of their desires?

Review

We have all loved Sam and Logan since the first book in the Club Destiny series, Conviction. Watching them grow as a couple has been a great experience and this book was no different. If anything, I really found that Sam and Logan came into their own and came to some big realizations about who they are as a couple in Entrusted. Elijah is the third member in this poly-amorous relationship and he is relatively new to the Club Destiny series having briefly met him in Perception but not really knowing much about him.

I feel like there was a very important fourth member of this developing relationship and that is Beth, Elijah’s late wife. Elijah has never gotten over Beth’s death and will love her completely forever (much the way Sam and Logan love each other.) I love how Sam and Logan incorporated Beth into their relationship by constantly talking about her and even visiting her grave with Elijah. Together they all learn that there is plenty of love to go around.

Sam and Elijah quickly develop feelings for each other that go deeper than just sex and even Logan and Elijah developed into more than just threesome partners by quickly becoming close friends with a mutual respect and protectiveness of each other. For me this book was filled with emotion and hard decisions. I really enjoyed how not one of the three involved went into this relationship lightly all thinking hard about how this would change their individual relationships .

Elijah had the utmost respect for Logan and Sam’s marriage and along every step of the way, he put their marriage first and was very careful not to cross any lines they were not 100% comfortable with.  For me personally, this was a very endearing quality and I found I was fast falling in love with this sexy British man! Not one time in this story did he make a rash decision without checking with everyone and talking through the decisions they were making.

Nicole Edwards has a way of pulling you into the craziness that is her mind and never letting you leave. There has never been a book by her that I have regretted reading and I often find myself recommending them to those around me. Anyone who has been following Sam and Logan’s story since the beginning will not want to miss this!

Synopsis

The exciting conclusion to Pushing Limits (Fighting Love Book 1)

New town? New life? Yeah, none of it was easy for Amber Turner, but meeting Tommy Bolt changed that. He healed the old wounds and made this callous, sarcastic girl believe in love again. Believe that she could be loved for something more than just a prop or a mirror image of someone else. That she could be seen, really seen, and loved despite her flaws. But one stupid mistake and one huge misunderstanding left her heart broken into tiny shards of glass. After weeks of waiting to hear from Tommy, she texts Tommy asking him to let her explain.

She got nothing. Crickets. Nada.

Not one text or even a simple phone call telling her they were done. Who does that?

After weeks of moping, her friends try to lift her spirits and help her to move on, but she still struggles with the memory of him. That boyish smile complete with dimples that come out to play, his hard body, the way he could make her body sing, and his sparkling sapphire eyes. Nothing about Tommy is easily forgotten. Amber is confronted with new choices as some old secrets come back to haunt her, threatening to destroy everything she ever believed about herself.

Review

Pushing Boundaries picks up from the end of the first book Pushing Limits where Amber is storming out of the club, desperate to get away from Tommy, the boy who broke her heart when he wouldn’t listen to her and asked for space which led to him not contacting her for weeks on end. But Tommy isn’t about to let Amber go and they both want to give the relationship another go. However with the evil bitch that is Lily who has been tormenting Amber since she moved there, as well as Amber’s mother and the drama that is college life, it’s not going to be an easy ride for Amber and Tommy by any means.

Having read the first book and enjoyed it, I looked forward to starting the second and it didn’t disappoint.

Amber is a fierce as ever. I loved her strong personality in the first book and she carries on with it in this one as well. She is fiery, flirty, confident and doesn’t back down. A really strong female lead.

Tommy is as ever the sexy southern charmer, with a filthy mouth that I love and his dirty side mixed in with his southern charm is one of the best combinations for a very fine book boyfriend. When he says the word darlin’ and I imagine it in the southern accent, I melt a little inside.

“Nothing sexier than a women who knows her own body”

Sex is a very big part of this story and sometimes too much sex can get a little tedious if it’s not meant to be an erotica, however with this book the sex scenes were beyond hot! Tommy with his dominant behaviour and Amber with her self confidence made for explosives scenes between the two. I loved how they were both so confident with their own bodies and each other. My only slight issue was how many times they called each other baby during sex, it felt like it was in nearly every line they spoke to each other and was just a bit too repetitive for me.

“I have a hard-on for fine looking women, especially spitfires.”

The plot line was good, it wasn’t amazing but was what I expected from this book going in. It starts off focusing mainly on Tommy and Ambers relationship and how that develops, like her meeting his family (who I absolutely loved) and the drama of his ex-fiancé coming into the picture (this author really does conniving, jealous and mean ex’s really well and I love a little bitchiness in my books.)

There were other story lines which kept me hooked like everything with Amber’s mother and who was attacking the girls at the college. I didn’t mind these different aspects of the story as they are all what kept it interesting and wanting to keep turning the pages so I could find the answers to the questions.

“See it’s a sign of respect and love. Sure it’s about power, but I want you on your knees because you want to please me and I like it”

I liked the ending, the last chapter or two were very fast paced and the answers to who was hurting these girls came about very quickly. I would have maybe liked an epilogue, just a bit more detail about what happened after everything came to a conclusion.

But overall this was a story that was filled with sex, fun, drama and a little suspense which made it a really enjoyable read and I will look out for more from this author in the future.
