Book Description:

THE DEEPEST LOVE CAN BE BORN FROM THE FIERCEST HATE…

Born to sit on opposing thrones.

They were never meant to fall.

Tanner Ayers is the heir of the Texas Ku Klux Klan. Fed nothing but hate, violence, and intolerance from the day he was born, Tanner kills for his cause without remorse.

Until he meets Adelita Quintana, the daughter of the most brutal cartel boss in Mexico.

Adelita and Tanner hate each other instantly. But there is something between them that neither can explain or deny. Hate turns to desire, desire turns to love, and for the first time Tanner sees how wrong his whole life has been.

For years, Tanner does everything he can to find a way for him and Adelita. He walks away from the Klan, his family, everything he ever believed, and joins the Hades Hangmen. But now the Hangmen are at war—not only with his own family, but with Adelita’s too.

When Adelita and Tanner are thrown together again, they are forced to fight for a love that should never have been. For a love that puts them and everyone they have ever loved in danger.

The White Prince.

The cartel princess.

And a future that seems shrouded in darkness…

– T.A. will release December 4th

by Jamie Begley

Goodreads

Book Description:

Cuffing season was supposed to be about finding a hook-up to keep her warm during the cold Kentucky winter nights. T.A. wasn’t looking for Mr. Right; she just wanted Mr. Available.
That was before she met Dalton Andrews. The widower was nursing a broken heart, and the only thing he wanted was a woman to take his grown kids’ minds off worrying about him.

It was supposed to be a trade-off—he would keep her warm and toasty during the nights, and she would put up a smokescreen in front of his kids during the days. It was a win-win situation.
That was until the famous actor decided he wanted out of the deal and Mr. Available was a no-show during the biggest snowstorm of the year.

Poor schmuck didn’t realize that all the drama he had experienced in Tinseltown was nothing compared to dealing with this bitch.

Author Bio:

I was born in a small town in Kentucky. My family began poor, but worked their way to owning a restaurant. My mother was one of the best cooks I have ever known, and she instilled in all her children the value of hard work, and education.

Taking after my mother, I've always loved to cook, and became pretty good if I do say so myself. I love to experiment and my unfortunate family has suffered through many. They now have learned to steer clear of those dishes. I absolutely love the holidays and my family puts up with my zany decorations.

For now, my days are spent writing, writing, and writing. I have two children, my daughter is also an author, and my son just tries not to blush when someone asks him about my books.

All my books are written for one purpose- the enjoyment others find in them, and the expectations of my fans that inspire me to give it my best.

~ I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review ~

Book Description:

She’s in a white dress that dances around her ankles, and her hair tumbles in a long sheet of curls down her back. A veil covers her beautiful eyes, and she smiles directly at him. Janie is everything Rafe’s ever imagined she would be on her wedding day. Breathtaking. Gorgeous. Perfect. The moment he sees her walking down the aisle towards him, he knows that she’s the one. Then she passes him, making her way to the man she’s to marry. A man that wasn’t him. A man that he knows with one hundred percent certainty isn’t good enough for her. It seems that her father isn’t the only one who’s having a hard time giving her away. Rafe only wishes he knew why. Everything about Janie sparks protective instincts he doesn’t feel for anyone, not even his own fiancé. What he feels for the bride, however, isn’t merely a simple attraction. He knows that something is there just beneath the surface…if only he could reach it. It has to be something huge, too, otherwise he wouldn’t be drinking whiskey straight from the flask in a church pew and wondering how many years he would do in prison if he shot the groom in front of about a hundred witnesses—half of those being cops. He was good…but not that good. A near-death experience cost Rafe almost six months of his memory, but right now he can’t help but feel like a huge mistake is being made on both of their parts. One that’s going to cost him everything. Then she says I do.

My Review:

This is my first read from Lani Lynn Vale and I am really glad to now have her in my list of go to authors now. I am a big fan of motorcycle club romances and while this one revolves around a club that we would have learned about from a previous series or two, the bulk of this book isn't your typical MC style read. Life of the couple doesn't revolve around the life of the club, in fact our hero isn't even a club member, he's more like a sub contractor, lol. Our heroine however is the daughter of I believe the club president, but honestly, and this comes because I haven't read the series (The Freebirds, at lest) that this book is a spin off from, I don't know how deep in the the MC world (or if the Freebirds are really considered a traditional MC) the other books get in to either. While this can be read as a stand alone I will say, I really think it would have been better to have started at the beginning of this whole 'world' so that not only would I have seen the build up between the two main characters (Rafe and Janie) in Kinda Don't Care but I would also fully understand the mission and the workings of the Freebirds. Are they an MC, are they a security firm, are they just a bunch of prior service alpha's doing good deeds for others in need....I know Janie's dad is a cop, how does that play in his role as a Freebird? Knowing all of those things would have made the book just that much better, of course that's on me, not the author but there you have it.

All that said don't not read this book, because I think it is a fabulous read. I loved, LOVED Rafe even though he might have been a bit pervy when it comes to the age difference in the beginning. Keep a bit of an open mind, he never does anything that makes him shudder worthy but he does take notice of a young Janie and it might make you cringe just a little, but she is well old enough to have a relationship with him when it finally occurs. I loved his loyalty, his compassion, his alpha tendencies while still being completely respectful. I loved his passion for what he does and for the people he loves. He is simply just a fantastic hero, the kind you can't help but fall for straight from the first pages.

Janie is an amazing heroine, strong, patient, intelligent, as swoon worthy as Rafe. She is a determined woman on a mission to be who she wants and love who she wants. I completely appreciate that she has had no doubt for years that Rafe is the man for her. I adored the there school girl crush matures and she does and is able to come to full fruition over time. It makes her the perfect match for Rafe in all ways. She is a young woman but one that knows exactly who and what she wants and she's nt only patient enough to wait for it but also determined enough to work for it.

Things get a little crazy when these two finally come together after Rafe is injured and their world starts to spiral out of their control. It was sometimes hard to 'watch' because you know that this couple is simply meant to be. I loved that the author reassures us over and over that things are not always what they seem and she would never 'hurt' her readers by 'hurting' her couple.

I really enjoyed the plot line and the suspense. I will say I was totally shocked at the end, I never expected things to take the turn they did. Honestly it threw me off a little but when all was said and done it felt perfectly right. Definitely a Ah-Ha, now see I got ya moment, ha.

One thing I really didn't like was the treatment of Rafe. Now because I hadn't read the other books that revolve around this world maybe I couldn't fully understand the reasoning behind it, but honestly it just plain seemed cruel and unnecessary to me. I appreciated that it bothered Janie enough to have her constantly saying to herself that she needed to put an end to the behavior but I hated that she never fully went through with that. Considering how long she has been in love with Rafe, one would have thought that she would have nipped that shite in the bud fast. For a group of men and women who have a role in protecting others it really baffled me as to why they would in essence bully someone who is supportive and invested in their mission. Again, maybe I just don't get it because I haven't seen the build up to that moment, but yeah...I wasn't to thrilled with aspect.

I am totally thrilled though to be going back and finding out what has gone on before now. Learning all about this group of people and how they have become who they are to this point. I am also excited about the books I have to look forward to in this new spin off series, Simple Man. Lastly let's just talk this cover for a minute....wait let's not, let's just all go and stare longingly at it. If I had seen this book on the bookshelf it would have been a total cover love purchase even if I never read it I would have wanted it on my shelf, haha. In fact, I think I am off to see if I can get the paperback right now.

Rough Ride by Kristen Ashley - Review

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Ashley comes a new story in her Chaos series…

GoodReads ~ AmazonUS ~ AmazonUK ~ AmazonAU ~ AmazonCA

Author: Kristen Ashley

Publication Date: 13 February 2019

Publisher: Evil Eye Concepts

Series: Chaos, book 5 (novella)

Genre: Contemporary Romance, MC based

Age Recommendation: 18 and Up

Rating: 4 Stars

~ I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review ~

Book Description:

Rosalie Holloway put it all on the line for the Chaos Motorcycle Club.

Informing to Chaos on their rival club—her man’s club, Bounty—Rosalie knows the stakes. And she pays them when her man, who she was hoping to scare straight, finds out she’s betrayed him and he delivers her to his brothers to mete out their form of justice.

But really, Rosie has long been denying that, as she drifted away from her Bounty, she’s been falling in love with Everett “Snapper” Kavanagh, a Chaos brother. Snap is the biker-boy-next door with the snowy blue eyes, quiet confidence and sweet disposition who was supposed to keep her safe…and fell down on that job.

For Snapper, it’s always been Rosalie, from the first time he saw her at the Chaos Compound. He’s just been waiting for a clear shot. But he didn’t want to get it after his Rosie was left bleeding, beat down and broken by Bounty on a cement warehouse floor.

With Rosalie a casualty of an ongoing war, Snapper has to guide her to trust him, take a shot with him, build a them…

And fold his woman firmly in the family that is Chaos.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

My Review:

What does one say about this book? The only word I can come up with is GAH! It is wonderful being back in the Chaos world but even better that we go back there with a woman I think most everyone, who has previously read the series, has had mixed feelings on. Rosalie has caused a bit of strife but she's also put herself on the line to save someone else so who will she become in the end, is she redeemable or does she even need redemption?

There is no doubt that what she really deserves is love and I am so happy that it is our good guy bad boy biker, Snapper, that is the one to finally, truly love her. Snapper is just plain and simple an amazing character. I adored his heart, the way that he cares for his brothers, their families, and for Rosalie. Don't think that takes away from the alpha hero that we have come to expect from a Kristen Ashley book though. That biker alpha attitude is all there and I think we'll be seeing a lot more of it coming in the future.

These two are so great together. There is a whole world of baggage between these two but it is beautiful to watch them overcome it and to see them fall in love and into happiness.

Honestly I can't tell you much about this book because I don't want to give anything away and readers let me tell you...THAT END! Kristen Ashley is a cruel but so amazing. I don't even know what to think. I honestly shut this book and thought to myself "OMG, that was amazing but WHAT THE HECK (modified for Amazon) JUST HAPPENED!" This is one of those cliffhangers but not a cliffhanger kind of endings and all I can say is I want, no, I NEED more and I need it now. I will say that this is the only thing that made it a four star read, the end is basically a cliff hanger and I totally wasn't expecting it.

If you are a fan of Kristen Ashley and her Chaos series get this book asap, if you are new to this world you don't want to miss this. While this can be read as a standalone you will definitely end up wanting to go back and start from the beginning. I can promise you that you would want to do that anyway, Kristen Ashley books just have a way of getting under a readers skin until you're basically a junkie on the constant look out for your next KA fix.

~ HAPPY READING ~

EXCERPT:

He spit on me.

I felt it land on the side of my chin and slide down.

I didn’t move to wipe it away.

I couldn’t.

Lying on my side, curled into a ball, the pain screamed through me. All of it—and there was a lot of it—demanding attention, I couldn’t concentrate, couldn’t think, couldn’t move in case it got worse. I couldn’t do anything but lie there and pray that it was over.

It wasn’t.

He bent over me, grabbed my hair, yanked it back, and I felt his hot breath hit my face.

“See if he wants you now, you stupid bitch,” he hissed.

He let my hair go and I felt him retreat, but he still wasn’t done.

He kicked me so hard with his foot in its heavy motorcycle boot, my body slid across the cement.

I was too far gone even to grunt.

I felt something bounce off my hip, clatter to the floor, and then his voice came back, this time from further away.

“There you go, baby,” he drawled. “Your line to Chaos. We’re done with you. I’m done with you. Now they can have you.”

I heard boots on cement, more than just his, his Bounty brothers in the club. I sustained a couple more kicks as they passed. One of them grabbed the underside of my jaw and shoved my head back into the cement, also spitting, his hitting my neck.

And then they were gone.

I lay there, my focus on breathing and continuing to do it even though each breath was not only an effort but an agony. The fear I’d felt early when he took me, how he’d taken me, the way he’d handled me and I knew he’d figured it out, had dissipated as pain took its place. Now, the fear was returning that they’d come back and dish out more.

He’d come back.

Throttle.

About Kristen Ashley: Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA and nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorize and she hadn't taken her first breath!). Her mother said they took Kristen away, put her Mom back in her room, her mother looked out the window, and Gary was on fire (Dr. King had been assassinated four days before). Kristen's Mom remembered thinking it was the end of the world. Quite the dramatic beginning. Nothing's changed. Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana and has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus, she's blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her family was (is) loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write. They all lived together on a very small farm in a small farm town in the heartland. She grew up with Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched). Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up. And as she keeps growing, it keeps getting better.
