Michel’s Review

Resentment is the first book I have read by Nicole London.  I have to say I am impressed with her writing.  The very first chapter drew me into the story and I became connected with Mia and Dean’s relationship.

This story takes the reader on a ten year journey.  We meet Mia and Dean as teenagers and see them self destruct.  When the devastation and destruction have fallen into place, both have moved on.  They carry the scars of their turbulent relationship.

Although both have moved on in life, their hearts have not.  Ten years later they are thrown together.  This time they are mature adults in control of their own lives.  It will be up to them to let go of the past, let go of the resentment, and rebuild their relationship.

Nicole London wrote a compelling novel.  I felt every emotion both the characters experienced.  I wanted these two to find their happily ever after.

I highly recommend Resentment by Nicole London.

Ghost 

Evil Dead MC Series – Book 5

By Nicole James

Synopsis

Ghost has been living his life under one rule…never fall in love, never get too close, never get tied down to just one woman. Focusing solely on his club, he is able to remain unattached and free…. until a girl from his past is dropped in his lap. She was a line he swore he’d never cross. And now, in order to obtain an alliance his club needs, he’s forced to use her in ways he’d never imagined.

She needs his protection, and she’s the one woman he can’t refuse.

When Ghost finds himself unable to keep his distance from her, will he be able to push his feelings aside and use her as a pawn for the attainment of his club’s goals? Or will he put the club and their lives at risk to follow his heart?

When lies and secrets come between them, can they overcome everything to find their own piece of heaven?

This is part of The Evil Dead MC Series, but each book can be read as a standalone.

Outlaw – Book 1
Crash – Book 2
Shades – Book 3
Wolf – Book 4
Ghost – Book 5

Buy: Amazon / B & N 

The Evil Dead MC Series by Nicole James is by far my favorite biker series.  This series has a special element that keeps readers coming back for more.  Nicole has featured different characters from the different chapters of the Evil Dead MC.  Each chapter has an unique comadery that fits perfectly within their own group as well as their brothers from the different chapters across the country.

Readers met Ghost from the Evil Dead Birmingham Chapter in Shades, book 3 of the series.  Ghost was a dynamic character with a bit of a mystery.  Now the readers are going to meet Ghost.

The beginning of Ghost takes place at the same time as Wolf ( book 4 ) at the Strugis rally. Ghost accidentally runs into someone from his past.  He runs into his former step sister, Jessie.  Jessie has gotten herself in a bit of trouble and has provoked the wrong MC, a rival club of the Evil Dead MC.  She has come across information that comes with a price on her head and the lives of the Gulf area Evil Dead MC.

It will be up to Ghost to protect Jessie from their enemies as well as herself.  They have a history that goes beyond brotherly sisterly love.

As the danger unfolds and the truths are revealed, both Ghost and Jessie will have to fight for their love.

Once again Nicole James delivered a fantastic story.  I can’t wait to see what comes next but I do hope it’s a certain character we know as Blood from the Evil Dead Louisiana Chapter.

The Evil Dead MC Series

Outlaw- Book 1

Buy: Amazon / B & N

When outlaw biker, Cole Austin sees a young woman handcuffed and being dragged across the yard of the Dead Souls Motorcycle Club’s remote clubhouse, he’s stunned by the realization of just how dark his world has become. This scene is even more than his twisted soul can stomach. Compelled to intercede and save her, he has no idea his whole world is about to change. He believes he’s doing the right thing until a secret she’s hiding makes him question if saving her may be the biggest mistake of his life. The two strike a deal, a deal they may both come to regret. Can his soul be saved? Is there anything he won’t do for her? Are there some things he just can’t? And are there some things she can never forgive?

Crash – Book 2

Buy: Amazon / B & N

When outlaw biker Tyler “Crash” Shaw volunteers his services to his club brother, Cole Austin, VP of the Evil Dead MC, he suddenly finds himself a rich girl’s bodyguard and babysitter. Well, it’s a bitch of a job, but maybe he can have a little fun with it. He thinks he’ll get a kick out of teaching the pampered stuck-up girl a lesson or two on how the other half lives. She can cook and clean for him in exchange for his help. No free ride for her. He intends to teach her that money can’t buy her way through life.

The world saw a classy pulled-together wealthy lady. All he saw was a spoiled little rich girl. A troublemaker, that’s all she was to him. Until she revealed the shattered girl inside that tried so hard to hide her weaknesses and fears with a façade of arrogance, attitude, and sass.

He’d tear down those walls she tried so hard to build, if only she’d let him.

Could the love of a man so wrong for her be the only one to save her?

And in his darkest hour, would her love be enough to save him?

From the MC’s California charter in San Jose, to the casinos and brothels of Reno, to brother charters in the Deep South, this story will take you on a ride of highs and lows that lead ultimately to redemption.

Shades – Book 3

Buy: Amazon / B & N

Shades hadn’t seen Skylar in years, and now here she was, the love of his life, riding back into his life on the back of a brother’s bike.
For years after Shades had lost Skylar, he’d tried satisfying the emptiness of losing her with booze, pussy and the club. He’d turned his frustration at having to give her up into a determination to climb the ranks of the club, but he hadn’t counted on the fact that the pull he’d felt toward Skylar had only laid dormant in him all these years. Or that all it would take to reignite it was just one look at her. And he sure as hell hadn’t counted on her showing up on the back of a brother’s bike.
When Skylar finally comes back into his life, will his desire for earning that VP patch stand in the way of any future he could have with her?
And when a rival MC shows up looking for Skylar, things go from complicated to damn near impossible.
Does Skylar come with more baggage than Shades is willing to sign up for?

Wolf – Book 4

The Evil Dead Motorcycle Club gave Wolf his nickname. They said it was because women stood about as much chance with him as Little Red Riding Hood stood against The Big Bad Wolf. And maybe that was true.

For Wolf, when it comes to his club, he’s all about loyalty. He loves his brothers, he loves the freedom of the road, and he loves his independence. When it comes to women, Wolf is all about the chase. He likes the hunt, he likes the challenge, and he loves women. And for the hot-as-hell badass biker, they’ve always come too easily. But they never fully satisfy him.

That is, until he met Crystal.

Buried under that hard-edged sexy-as-sin tomboy with the smartass mouth that can put any brother in the MC in his place, is a feminine side she only reveals when pushed. And Wolf is just the man to push. Problem is she’s the only woman to ever push back. Which only makes him more determined to have her.

Life in the Evil Dead MC isn’t easy, and neither is loving one of them. It’s a life that can leave a man scarred and bloody. And sometimes the fallout is far reaching and takes more than a man is willing to give.

It can be just as risky for any woman brave enough to love one of them.

The scars of life run deep, for both of them.

Sometimes life doesn’t give you a fairytale, sometimes you have to make your own.

And sometimes it takes a spitfire to tame a hell-raiser.

Michel’s Review

Lux, the highly anticipated finale of the Nocte Trilogy by Courtney Cole has released!  Fans of dark, twisted, complicated stories will not want to miss this dynamic series.

Lux cannot be read as a stand alone novel.  It must be read in series order.

As I began to read Lux I had so many questions and too many theories.  At the same time I was completely baffled as to where this series would lead.  It was a visit into the world of madness and mystical obscurity that involves three characters closely tied together through blood and history.  Each word in each novel is carefully chosen to give the readers perceptions that change as each passage changes.

Lux answered most of the questions readers had formulated.  It connected the ties between all of the characters and left the reader astounded.  Courtney Cole intricately wove a tale based on biblical history, Romani Gypsy customs, present day situations, and mystical forces that enveloped these characters into a perpetual sense of madness.

The writing was brilliant.  Courtney Cole carefully planned this series and meticulously chose every word and it’s placement within the story.  She hid subtle clues that led to several different perceptions.  She used the written passages from the bible to correlate with the characters of the present without implying the philosophical beliefs of religion.  It was more of a moral taboo that was touched upon.

In the end, all three characters came full circle and found their place in their lives.

Readers will walk away with different perceptions but all will agree that the entire Nocte Trilogy was brilliant.

Well done Courtney Cole.  You are a master of your craft!

Robin’s Review

Many thanks to Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley for providing a copy of Walk Through Fire in exchange for my honest review.

When I read a novel written by Kristen Ashley, I can always count on a solid plot, her trademark alpha males, humorous dialogue, gripping romantic suspense, and her famous conversational writing.  Since a great deal of her novels are set in and around the area of Denver, Colorado, Ashley has the luxury of including characters from other series she has written in her new novels.  It’s something that I love and look forward to with her writing!  It actually enhances my reading experience because I enjoy revisiting her characters.

Ashley’s writing is very distinctive.  If someone were to randomly read to me an excerpt from one of her books, I would undoubtedly recognize her writing in a heartbeat.  She has a fantastic sense of humor, and her male characters always tend to be very dominant. Each main couple has a unique situation going on in their lives.  Many of us can relate to the kinds of situations her couples deal with, such as having a jealous ex-husband or dating while going through a divorce or even dating someone who has children from a previous marriage.

Logan “High” Judd and Millie Cross are the primary love interests in Walk Through Fire, and their story is a second-chance romance.  We visit their past relationship via memories, when they were very much in love as a young couple.  Millie was immediately and completely taken by Logan, but it really was love at first sight for both of them. I felt Millie’s incredible loss when they separated, even when I didn’t understand why it happened.  But….it also didn’t take me long to figure out what happened to cause them to separate.  Logan never really understood why Millie sent him away, but I found it to be a bit predictable. I enjoyed the back and forth between Millie and Logan, as they reunited. It was not the prettiest reconciliation – not by a long shot! It was intense and powerful, with lots of anger and hurt being poured out, but in the end it was worth it.

Kristen Ashley has been building suspense for an explosive war between the Chaos MC and Benito Valenzuela over the arc of the Chaos series. In Walk Through Fire, however, Ashley really gears readers up for the coming of all-out war. I’m not saying there wasn’t violence and suspense in this novel, but I kept waiting for an epic climax to Walk Through Fire, only to discover that I had already read it. It was disappointing for me because I was geared up for so much more.

I adore Kristen Ashley’s writing style.  She writes interesting characters that I always seem to connect with, and she does a great job of keeping her stories fresh.  Ashley is one of the best at writing romantic suspense, but Walk Through Fire was only just okay for me.  At times, I felt this novel was a little too wordy with dialogue, which made it hard for me to stay focused on reading.  And I guess my biggest disappointment is that the story felt a bit anticlimactic.  Overall, Walk Through Fire is still a great addition to the Chaos series.  It’s classic Kristen Ashley, and there will, no doubt, be many people who absolutely love Walk Through Fire.  My rating for Walk Through Fire a 3.5 stars.

Author Bio:

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 accessorise 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.

The Queen

The Original Sinners Series – Book 8

By Tiffany Reisz

Synopsis

Once upon a time, Nora and Søren made a fateful deal—if he gave her everything, she would give him forever.

The time has finally come to keep their promises.

Out of money and out of options after her yearlong exile, Eleanor Schreiber agrees to join forces with Kingsley Edge, the king of kink. After her first taste of power as a Dominant, Eleanor buries her old submissive self and transforms into Mistress Nora, the Red Queen. With the help of a mysterious young man with a job even more illicit than her own, Nora squares off against a cunning rival in her quest to become the most respected, the most feared Dominatrix in the Underground.

While new lovers and the sweet taste of freedom intoxicate Nora, she is tempted time and time again by Søren, her only love and the one man who refuses to bow to her. But when Søren accepts a new church assignment in a dangerous country, she must make an agonizing choice—will the queen keep her throne and let her lover go, or trade in her crown for Søren’s collar?

With a shattering final confession, the last link in the chain is forged in The Original Sinners saga. It’s the closing chapter in a story of salvation, sacrifice and the multitude of scars we collect in the name of ecstasy—and love.

Robin’s Review

Many thanks to Harlequin and NetGalley for providing a copy of The Queen in exchange for my honest review.

Back in August of 2012, I bought a novel titled The Siren. Although I had never heard of author Tiffany Reisz, I was definitely intrigued by the book synopsis. What I remember most from reading The Siren is that I was stunned by the crisp writing, creativity and uniqueness of the plot. The Siren won an award that year: Romantic Times Reviewers’ Choice Award (RT Award) for Best Erotic Romance of 2012 – I just knew The Siren was a 5-star novel, and I couldn’t wait for the next novel in the series!

Nora Sutherlin. Father Marcus Stearns. Kingsley Edge. For those of us who have followed along their journey, we’ve learned how this unlikely trio came to know each other. We’ve witnessed the unique love these characters share for one another. We know the disagreements that have driven them apart, seen them deal with family and questionable relationships. Beginning with The Siren, the overall arc of The Original Sinners series spans across a series of eight novels which is split into two quartets: the Red Years and the White Years. Tiffany Reisz brings her characters full circle as she concludes her series with The Queen, where Nora makes one final confession to her Priest – Soren.

With Nora’s final confession, The Queen transitions from a castle in Scotland to the past, where Eleanor finds herself at the front door of Kingsley’s townhouse. She is homeless and jobless, without a penny to her name, and still bitterly angry with Soren. She’s not even certain if Kingsley will take her in, but instead, he surprises Elle with a job offer. He wants Elle to be the next great Dominatrix of the Eighth Circle. Kingsley convinces Elle to take up the whip, the flogger, embrace her dominant side and make loads of money. He dubs her Mistress Nora Sutherlin and issues a challenge: become the Red Queen of the Underground.

Nora embraces Kingsley’s challenge, continues to move forward in her writing career, and through it all, her feelings for Soren continue to swirl with confusion. Underneath all of the bitterness and anger, she still feels undying love for her Priest. While part of The Queen is about Nora’s transition to a career as a Dominatrix, the other half of the story is about Eleanor and Soren. The Queen really does come down to a set of vows made by Soren and Eleanor when she was just fifteen-years-old: if Eleanor would promise him forever, Soren would promise her everything. And Soren has no intention of breaking his vow.

I have faithfully followed The Original Sinners series to its conclusion. When you find a great new series to read, you embrace it, count down the days until each book releases and hope it remains strong to the end. You dream of a conclusion that exceeds your expectations. Well….Tiffany Reisz did not disappoint. The Queen included a cast of all of my favorite characters from across the series. The suspense held me glued to the pages as I pushed toward the climax. I can tell everyone with absolute certainty that I could not have dreamed of a more perfect ending for Soren, Nora and Kingsley and the rest of The Original Sinners! Congratulations to author Tiffany Reisz – The Queen is a 5-star novel and has earned a place on my list of 2015 favorites!

The Boss 

Book One

By Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott

Synopsis

I’ve always been a good girl.

I’ve only done two really bad things in my life–secretly live in the maid’s quarters of my beloved grandmother’s foreclosed beach house, and lie to get a job as a personal assistant to billionaire Blake Carson.

My enemy, my lover, my savior.

He’s only two out of the three, if only I can figure out which two before I end up on the streets or in jail.

Or worse.

A FOUR PART SERIAL with dual points of view, lots of bad words, the creative use of glass-walled rooms, and a beach house that holds a whole lot of secrets. There are all sorts of cliffs in these books, some even include actual rocks. You have been warned.

* If you like seductive serials from authors like Olivia Thorne, M.S. Parker & Cassie Wild, Hannah Ford, and Ainsley Booth…this is your kind of story.

Buy: Amazon / Amazon UK

Tracey’s Review

Grace Copeland’s grandmother meant more to her than anything else in her life. And now that she’s lost her, Grace is faced with losing her home, too, and she’s not about to let that happen. As the new owner of the home that Grace loves, Blake Carson is just a nameless, faceless enemy, a man with plenty of money, but no heart. But Grace is not about to go down without a fight. Or, at least that’s the plan. Because, when Grace walks into Blake’s company, Carson Covenant Glass, to negotiate some kind of deal to keep her home, it certainly wasn’t with the idea that she’d end the day as Blake’s personal assistant. Or that she’d feel the way that she does about him. Things are about to get very interesting…

Holy smokes, this book should come with a warning. Incendiary doesn’t even begin to describe THE BOSS, the first book in the new Hot Billionaire serial series by authors Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott. As usual, these ladies have written a book that is equal parts immediately engaging characters and an engrossing and truly panty-melting storyline. Honestly, I started reading, and I did not want to stop, because I just loved everything about THE BOSS (and, yes, that absolutely DOES include the man himself!).

Serials sometimes get a bad rap because the books are short, and there are always cliffhanger endings to deal with, but, believe me, this is one that you’ll want to grab. I tore through this read like nobody’s business, and I cannot wait for Book 2 to see what happens next. It should come as no surprise that I’m giving THE BOSS 5+ stars; get it, read it. You’ll thank me later!

Amazon eBook ** Amazon Paperback

Excerpt:

Come to me. Please, come to me.

The words seemed real to Elyssa Adair, like a whisper in her mind, as she looked up at the old mansion.

The Mayberry Mortuary was decked out in a fantastic Halloween décor, customary each year starting October 1. It sat high on a jagged bluff near the waterfront in Salem, Massachusetts. Just driving toward it, at night, was like being in a horror movie. Dense trees lined the paved drive and it was surrounded by a graveyard. The old Colonial building, when captured beneath the moonlight, seemed to rise from the earth in true Gothic splendor.

She shivered and looked around at her friends, wondering if the words had been spoken by one of them. Vickie Thornton and Barry Tyler sat in the backseat, laughing with one another and making scary faces. Nate Fox was driving, his dark eyes intent on the road.

No one in the car had spoken to her.

She gave herself a silent mental shake. She could have sworn she’d actually heard a whisper. Clear as day. Come to me. Strangely, she wasn’t afraid. She loved the artistry of Halloween—the fun of it—and few places in the world embraced the day like Salem.

This was home and she loved Salem, despite the sad history of witch trials and executions. A lot of that was steeped in lure and myth, but the local Peabody Essex museum and other historic venues seemed to go out of their way to remind visitors of the horror that came from petty jealousy and irrational fear.

“Boo,” Nate said, leaning toward her.

She jumped with a start.

She’d been deeply involved in her thoughts and the view of the old mansion. Nate, Vickie, and Barry all giggled at her surprise.

“Do you have to do that,” she murmured.

He frowned, his eyes back on the road. “Elyssa, we’ve done this every year since we were kids. So are you really scared now?”

“Of course not,” she said, and tried to smile.

She loved Nate. They were both just eighteen, but they’d been seeing one another since their freshman year. She was young, as everyone kept reminding her, but she knew that she would love him all of her life. Despite them being opposites. She was a bookworm, born and raised in the East, red hair and green eyes. He was from South Dakota, a Western boy, whose mom had been from nearby Marblehead but whose dad had been a half Lakota Sioux. He was tall and dark with fabulous cheekbones and a keen sense of ethics and justice. He was their high school’s quarterback, and she was debate team captain.

“Don’t be silly,” she said. “Last year, I played a zombie, remember?”

And what a role. She’d arose from the embalming table and attacked one of her classmates who’d played the mortician, terrifying the audience.

Nate grinned. “That you did. And what a lovely zombie you were.”

Please.

She heard the single word and realized no one in the car had spoken it.

About ALL HALLOWS EVE: A Krewe of Hunters Novella

Salem was a place near and dear to Jenna Duffy and Samuel Hall—it was where they’d met on a strange and sinister case.

They never dreamed that they’d be called back. That history could repeat itself in a most macabre and terrifying fashion.

But, then again, it was Salem at Halloween. Seasoned Krewe members, they still find themselves facing the unspeakable horrors in a desperate race to save each other—and perhaps even their very souls.
