FOREVER WITH ME Synopsis:

From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the With Me in Seattle Series comes the end of a saga…

Dominic Salvatore seemingly has everything a man could want. He’s found a new relationship with his father and the entire Montgomery family. His vineyard, Cuppa di Vita, is a success. There’s only one thing that eludes him: a certain driven, intelligent, and sexy as hell blonde named Alecia.

Alecia works tirelessly building her event planning business. It’s the most important part of her life. Despite the beautiful, lavish weddings she organizes, Alecia is convinced that the idea of true love is a myth. While Dominic is a sexy, intriguing man, welcoming the handsome Italian into her bed, and her life, is a risk she’s not so sure she’s willing to take.

However Dominic isn’t used to taking no for an answer, and it’s not long before these two are burning up the sheets and discovering a connection that neither can deny. But will it be strong enough to last forever?

“I’m going to eventually make you understand how amazing you are, tesoro.” – Dominic Salvatore

EXCERPT:

“You know what rhymes with drunk?” Sam asks. “Sex!”

“Nuh uh,” Meredith replies with a frown. “But fuck does!”

“Drunk and fuck do not rhyme,” Mark says with a surprised laugh.

“It’s closer than sex,” she says defensively.

“Everything rhymes with sex when you get to have it with an apa,” Jules says.

“Julianne,” Nate warns her.

“It’s true!”

“What’s that like, anyway? I’ve always wanted to know.”

“You can’t have sex with my husband.” Jules frowns for a second, then a smile spreads over her gorgeous face. “Well, maybe you can.”

“No,” Nate replies quietly, “she can’t. No offense, Alecia.”

“None taken.” I grin at the crazy-hot man. “You’re hot as fuck, though.”

“He really is,” Jules agrees happily. “And the apa…wow.”

“Will you get one?” I ask Dominic, just as he takes a sip of wine, and he immediately chokes.

“Fuck no.”

“Maybe I’ll have to find someone with one,” I say thoughtfully. “Just to give it a try.”

“That’s it.” Dominic stands with me in his arms and doesn’t even set me down as he begins to stalk out of the tent.

“Where are we going?” I look over his shoulder and see the others laughing and watching us leave. I wave happily and they all wave back.

They’re so friendly.

“I’m going to teach you a lesson, tesoro.”

“A lesson?” I giggle and bury my nose in his neck, breathing him in. “I’m kind of dizzy.”

We pass by the barn. I can hear voices, heavy breathing and Meg giggling.

“I think we found Meg and Will,” I whisper into Dom’s ear, as he hurries past.

Merde, I didn’t need to ever hear that,” Dominic grumbles, making me giggle more. He strides around the store building, where I stood a few hours ago with Jules and Natalie, sets me on my feet, and pins me against the wall.

“I dare you,” he begins with fire in his bright blue eyes, “to say again that you’re going to go find another man to fuck.”

“Um, it was a joke, babe.”

His eyes narrow and his nostrils flare, and I know I’m in big trouble.

“Are you jealous?” I ask incredulously.

“Not usually,” he says. “I’m not the jealous type, but what’s mine is mine, Alecia. And you’re mine. What I have with you, I don’t want with anyone else. You’re all I fucking think about.”

He’s gathering my skirt in his hands until it’s bunched around my waist, and he slips his finger inside the elastic of the crotch of my panties and brushes the lips of my pussy, making me gasp.

“Dom!”

“That’s right.” He bites my lower lip, then soothes it with his tongue and pushes his finger farther into my panties. “Me. I’m the only one who can touch you here, or anywhere. This is mine.”

Michel’s Review

Cowboys For Christmas was a fantastic anthology.  The authors did a wonderful job of tying their individual story with those of the other authors.  The plotting was precise throughout the three stories.  The individual plots of each story focused on one of the leading female characters and their personal trials and tribulations.  Each of these stories not only gave the readers insight to their individual leading character but also stayed very true to other characters and the personalities the other co authors created.  Throughout each book there are some of the same scenes, with the same tone, but delivered from their characters perspective of that moment.  The flow of each story was in perfect timing with the other two stories and made the overall story seem effortless.  To deliver this kind of book with three different stories, the same characters, and the same overall plot takes a lot of work and collaboration between the authors.  This was done with supreme care and made this anthology an excellent read.

We meet three women that have been friends since childhood.  They grew up in Holly Hills, Texas.  Holly Hills, Texas is a small ranching community that is basically defined by two prominent families.  The Holly Family and the Campbell Family.

Love Me, Cowboy by Terri Osburn

Claire Campbell was the fat girl that was ruled by her mother’s commands.  Her mother cared more about the family’s social status and position in Holly Hills.  Claire was always insecure and fed her emotions.  Now at twenty eight, she has returned to Holly Hills to teach elementary school.  She is no longer the “fat” girl and “weak” girl that her mother once controlled.  She has started to develop a backbone.  The one thing that haunts her from her past is Tyler Holly.  Tyler Holly is the younger brother of her best friend and the one boy she always had a crush on.  A high school one night stand that didn’t turn out so well has always haunted her.

Tyler has returned to Holly Hills as well after a serious rodeo injury.  He is looking to recuperate and get back on the rodeo circuit.  With his sister’s upcoming wedding, he is bound to run into the one woman that could hold him in Holly Hills.  Claire Campbell has always been the girl his heart has wanted.

Can these two find happiness together with their futures going in different directions?

Kiss Me, Cowboy by Liz Talley

Georgia Hightower left Holly Hills, Texas  as soon as she could.  She was the poor trailer trash of the community.  The only people that saw the girl that hid beneath the surface were her best friends, Claire Campbell and Mary Catherine Holly.  She vowed to never return to Holly Hills unless she was successful and had money to prove her self worth.

She is dreading returning to Holly Hills.  She is dreading attending Mary Catherine’s wedding.  She feels Mary Catherine is selling herself short.  But because she is a loyal friend she returns to the one place that has horrible memories for her.  Not only is she dreading the return to Holly Hills, she is also dealing with some problems in her life she has established in Boston.

When she meets Reed McCormick, the new vet in town, Holly Hills doesn’t look so bad.  She will see the town through new eyes and come to appreciate everything the sexy vet can show her.

As her problems come to a head in Boston, she will have to choose a lonely successful life or a life filled with love in Holly Hills?  Is Reed McCormick enough to make Georgia stay in Holly Hills.

Marry Me, Cowboy by Kim Law

Mary Catherine Holly has come home to Holly Hills to get married on Christmas Eve. She is marrying the town’s golden boy who is now a successful doctor in Dallas.  The two were high school sweethearts until Mary Catherine exhibited an independent wild streak.

Her wild streak included dating a boy from the wrong side of town. Jax Tipton was the very definition of trouble and wild.  The two had a wild teenage affair that ended badly.

Now she is a mature adult woman.  She has a successful career and good social standing in the community.  She would prefer to be married in Dallas but because of her family’s social status in Holly Hills she is getting married there.

Her step mother is planning the entire wedding.  The wedding must be perfect and meet the expectations of their social status.  Mary Catherine is fine with her step mother taking over all the wedding planning.  She is fine with someone else choosing her dress, choosing her bridesmaid dresses, and choosing the venue.  She just wants to get the wedding over with and get out of town before she runs into Jax Tipton.

Betweem the bridezilla step monster and a sexy boyfriend from the past, Mary Catherine’s world is spiraling out of control.  Her friends know she isn’t happy.  Jax Tipton knows she isn’t happy.  Will Mary Catherine recognize it before it’s too late?  Is Jax the man that can put a smile back on her face?

I absolutely loved this anthology.  I would of given this book a 5 Star Rating but there was one thing that held me back.  This book was supposed to be a Holiday Romance.  It was not.  There was very little mention of the holidays.  The few scenes that revolved around some kind of holiday event where more focused on the upcoming wedding rather than the upcoming holiday.  I never felt the holiday spirit.  This book focused more on the wedding theme rather than the holiday theme.  This was a great disappointment to me.

I would highly recommend Cowboys For Christmas.  It is well written, highly entertaining, and loaded with small town romance.

Synopsis

UFC Middleweight fighter, Ryley Jameson, swore it would never happen again. He was done with his ex, and over the pain she’d inflicted when she left him. At least, that’s what he tells people. Maybe if he says it enough, he’ll begin to believe it himself.

 

Regretting her decision to let Ryley go, Ashleigh Warren comes back into town and confronts him. Holding only one secret back, she puts the rest on the line and asks for a second chance. Too bad he’s not going to let her off easy.

 

Camden Jameson loves his twin brother, but his jealousy runs deep. They may be identical in looks, but that’s where the similarities end. When Ashleigh comes back into Ryley’s life, Camden has the perfect opportunity for revenge. Two birds, one stone.

A journey to the Dark Side affects them all, but only one feels the true sting of revenge.

Michel’s Review
Ryley’s Revenge was a complete unexpected surprise.  We met Ryley Jameson and Ashleigh Warren in A Fighter’s Desire Part 1.  This couple captured our attention along with Ryley’s twin brother Camden.  When all was said and done, no one really got their happily ever after.  Ashley had left Ryley and went back to her college sweetheart , Collin.  After a pregnancy scare that could have been Ryley’s child, Ashleigh realizes she has made a mistake leaving Ryley for Collin.  Now she is back and ready to fight for Ryley’s love.
Ryley was heartbroken when Ashleigh left him for Collin.  He was also hurt by his twin brother’s actions and reactions to his relationship with Ashleigh.  Ryley has been betrayed by the two people he loves the most.  When Ashleigh comes back from Aspen wanting to rekindle their relationship, he’s still angry over her betrayal.  He almost lets her go a second time but realizes that love is more important than pride.  He mans up, swallows his pride, and sets his focus on restoring his relationship with Ashleigh.
His twin brother Camden is harboring an unhealthy dose of jealousy.  He and Ryley are scheduled to fight one another for the championship title.  Camden wants to destroy Ryley in and outside of the ring.  He will stop at nothing to destroy his brother.
Camden has joined “the dark side”.  He is fighting in the illegal underground fighting arena where anything goes, including death. He has enlisted Collin to help him destroy Ryley and Ashleigh for good.  He is determined to destroy Ryley’s fighting career as well as his future happiness. His actions force Ryley to join the “dark side” to defend his honor, fight for his relationship with Ashleigh, and seek revenge against those that have tried to hurt them.  Ryley will have to choose between love and blood.  Ryley has more on the line than losing his brother, he could lose the Ashleigh and his future family.
Ryley’s Revenge was much more than a romance that revolves around the MMA fighting world.  It is about making choices that will define the kind of person you are at the end of the day.  It’s about learning to love despite all of the opposition standing in the way.  It is about sacrificing oneself for the one you love with all your heart.  It shows the importance of family and friendship in life.
I cannot wait for the next book in the series.  We got a taste of what’s to come with Paxton and Gabriella.  I am also hoping somewhere along the way Camden is going to be redeemed.
I highly recommend the Gloves Off Series by L. P. Dover.

Kelley’s Review

I abosultely adored this modern day Cinderella story! This is an amazing HEA for you HEA junkies. Sometimes you just need a feel good story and Jasinda delivers with a hot hollywood hunk and trash collecting former foster child. She once again keeps her characters true to who they are. Destiny Ross has not had an easy life. She was tossed around in the foster care system in Detroit until she was old enough to stand on her own. Some places she lived were good and others were not. She has learned that you have to put up walls in order to survive and is not interested in letting them down for anyone. Torrence Adam Trenton is a hollywood action star. He is on Mackinac Island for a special red carpet event and finds himself bored out of his mind on a tour bus until he sees Destiny on the side of the road picking up trash. He is mesmorised by her beauty and before he can think he is jumping off the bus and heading towards her.

I love how Jasinda makes Adam a very down to earth character true to his roots. He puts on a persona for the cameras and does an excellent job catering to his fans. Seeing Destiny and Adam come together is pure magic. She is so closed off but Adam will do anything he can to break down her walls. Their chemistry is purely erotic. Yes this book has a lot of hot sex in it and Jasinda is the queen of smutty sex scenes. She will have readers crossing their legs and looking for BOB for relief. Jasinda has a talent for making us all believe in fairytales with this one.

5 star

Michel’s Review

Trashed is another Hollywood Romance smash hit.  It is a light hearted and supremely sexy romance. It was a highly entertaining book that left the reader with a gooey & tingly feeling.

The characters, Adam and Des, are absolutely charming.  Adam may be a big Hollywood Action Star, but he is down to earth.  His fame has not ruined him.  He is good about managing his life as a star.  When he sees Des, it is love at first sight.  He will do anything to get to know her.  He does not expect her to meet his celebrity life style.  He just wants her love.

Des, has had a rough life.  She was in the foster care system and has never had anyone to call her own.  She has quite a few issues and recognizes the fact that she does.  She is not in any way allowing her issues to hold her back from having a happy and successful life.  When she meets Adam, she is not star struck.  She treats Adam as a regular guy.  When a celebrity fundraiser puts her in the spotlight, she will have to decide if she can handle that life style.

Both Adam and Des will have to go through some trying moments and a separation before they find that their destinies are tied together.

I loved that Adam stayed true and consistent throughout this book.  I loved watching Des expand her world.  I loved how she accepted her weaknesses and was willing to overcome them with work.

Everything about Trashed fantastic.  It was a charming story that didn’t weigh the reader down with angst and emotional duress.  It is the perfect book to read when you need something to warm your heart and a lighten your world.  It is guaranteed to make you smile.

I highly recommend Trashed.

Vision Of Darkness

D. I. E. Squadron Series- Book 1

By Tonya Burrows

57761-addtogoodreads

Synopsis

A beacon of light…

Undercover DEA agent Alex Brennan doesn’t believe in the paranormal, despite the exhausting nightmares that reveal things he shouldn’t know. When sleep deprivation causes him to make a horrible mistake on the job, he is driven to find answers. Dreams guide him to a lighthouse in Three Churches, Maine, where he finds an inexplicable and comforting familiarity in the arms of the lighthouse’s beautiful keeper, Pru Maddox.

A whisper of memory…

Deadly misfortune has long plagued Pru’s family, the result of a curse “The Green Lady” placed on the lighthouse. Skeptical, Alex searches for less ghostly explanations, though he can’t deny that the town has had more than its fair share of disappearances, suicides, and accidents. As their passion simmers, Alex digs deeper, and his dreams turn violent, frightening, and very real.

A vision of darkness…

To keep Pru safe, Alex must embrace his abilities and unravel the lighthouse’s mystery. Except someone—or something—wants the past to stay buried…and will do anything to keep it that way.

Tina’s Review

*** eBook ARC provided by Author in exchange for an honest review. ***

Character Introductions-
Alex Brennan had just endured two years undercover for the DEA and now has been ordered some indefinite downtime. He needs this time to reacquaint himself with, well… himself and find his direction again. In doing so, he’d planned to head out West to visit a friend, but found himself going North into Maine. Stopping to eat at a diner, he encounters Pru. She sparks his interest with an intensity he’s never felt before.
Waitressing at her grandmother’s diner in Three Churches, Maine, Pru Maddox sees a lot of road-weary travelers and hears a lot of gossip from the locals. She’s been divorced for six months, practically runs the diner when her grandmother’s off on an adventure, and she most recently purchased the lighthouse, it’s outbuildings and the property around it with the dream of turning it into a Bed and Breakfast – if only The Green Lady would cooperate.

~ Debut book in Tonya Burrows’s NEW series! Paranormal Romance Genre! ~
From the moment Alex and Pru meet, they feel an intense draw toward one another but she’s recently divorced and guy shy. He’s not in the greatest position at the moment either, in part due to an on-the-job incident. Alex “knows” when things are about to get ugly; he “feels it”, but chalks it up to gut-instinct or good intuition. He does not believe in any of the “woo-woo” that his squadron or his institutionalized brother does. He’s extremely stubborn and cynical whereas Pru is still very naive and trusting, even after a traumatic experience caused a chain of events that eventually tore her world apart. The secondary characters are solid and support the story well, good and bad. This series promises to be edgier and darker than Ms. Burrows’s other two series, but still holds enough HEAT to burn up the pages. The flow is smooth, the dynamics are present and plentiful, the conflicts are layered and interwoven. How do I approach the predictability without spoilers? Before the twenty percent mark, I thought I figured out the “woo-woo” of the relationship, but was only partially right. The same goes for the ship and crew. There were a few plot points that were not fully addressed, but they were not key points. Alex and Pru receive a solid ending, but the Epilogue provides a healthy lead-in to the next potential book.

I get up and let the empty bottle drop to the floor. The woods are eerily quiet, as if it can sense my anger. As if it knows the bitterness that lingers in my veins, as if it knows the burn of not knowing anything.

Like the woods, I’m left in the dark. Completely.

Branches and twigs crunch under my feet as I increase my pace to a gentle jog. And again, to a slow run. Then to a sprint.

The need to know increases with every footstep, as evenly paced as the ticking of the clock. It doesn’t matter that I’ve probably drunk too much beer to be here or that we’ve only been back for a matter of days.

I can’t be in this shithole full of memories without knowing. I can’t move on until I know. I can’t forgive her for a single fucking thing until I know—and even then, maybe I won’t be able to.

Maybe she’s unforgivable.

Instead of knocking on the back door like I did yesterday, I round the side of the house to the front door. The front room light glows softly through the curtains, but the rest of the house is dark.

My chest heaves with the exertion of my run here and I grab the doorframe to balance myself. I’m definitely too fucking drunk for this conversation, but what the hell.

I bang on the door, once, twice, again and again and again. “Sofie! Open the fuckin’ door!”

“Shut up!” she hisses, yanking it open. “The hell’re you doing here?”

I smirk, leaning against the wall. “Shouldn’t I be askin’ you that, princess?”

“Are you drunk?” Her voice rises a little at the end, and her eyes widen.

Those eyes. Fuck, those baby blues that have always undone me.

“Drunk? No. If I was drunk I’d be sitting at home like a miserable bastard and not here facing the cause of my misery.”

“You’re being an asshole. I don’t have to listen to this.”

She pushes on the door, but I wedge my foot in front of it. I let go of the wall and grab the edge of the door.

“Actually, you do.”

She can’t overpower me, and she knows it, because she lets up and the door swings open. “Why are you here, Conner?”

“You have a kid.”

She smacks her lips together. “Yep.”

“When? When did you have her?”

Sofie takes a deep breath in and presses her hands to her stomach. They’re shaking, even as she links her fingers to hide it. I can see that fucking tremble.

She whispers something but I’m too pre-occupied by her hands to hear it.

“What?”

“August last year,” she repeats, still a whisper.

August. Last year. My stomach clenches as I meet her eyes. “When? When in fuckin’ August, Sofie?”

“August fifteenth.” Her voice hitches halfway through the ‘fifteenth.’

Almost seven months to the day she walked out on me and the rest of Shelton Bay.

Adrenaline hums through my body, and I stare at her. At the tears building in her eyes, the quiver of her lips, the bob of her throat as she swallows harshly.

It’s no different from the burn in my chest, the twisting of my stomach.

“Is she mine?”

She shudders and a tear drips from her eye.

“Sofie. Is. She. Mine?!”

Tracey’s Review

THIRD POSITION by Melody Grace picks up directly following SECOND POSITION. This is the last installment in Melody’s DIRTY DANCING series, and, oh, my goodness, it is HOT. Melody has definitely saved the best for last, and ended the series with a panty-melting, swoon-inducing, feel-good finale.

Raised to follow in her mother’s prima ballerina footsteps, perfecting her craft has been the focus of Annalise’s whole life. But Raphael brings out Annalise’s inner passion, awakening desires in her that she didn’t even know she had, and making her question her dedication to the troupe and to a life centered solely around ballet. Her mother’s unexpected arrival in Rome, coupled with the jealousy of Raphael’s former partner, threaten the new relationship developing between Annalise and Raphael, forcing her to make a decision about how she will live her life.

I enjoyed this whole series very much, but this third book really cemented my feelings. Seeing Annalise come into her own, and become the person that SHE wants to be made for a nice wrap-up, and the hotness factor in the relationship between her and Raphael was off the charts. Melody does sexy time excellently, and she absolutely delivered here; the heat between these two was sizzling, and had me fanning myself and blushing at the same time.

The fact that these books are serial-length should not keep anyone from reading them, because, when put together, they add up to one big thumbs-up, and definite additions to my ‘recommends’ list.

The Law Of Moses

By Amy Harmon

Release Date: November 27, 2014

57761-addtogoodreads

Synopsis

If I tell you right up front, right in the beginning that I lost him, it will be easier for you to bear. You will know its coming, and it will hurt. But youll be able to prepare.

Someone found him in a laundry basket at the Quick Wash, wrapped in a towel, a few hours old and close to death. They called him Baby Moses when they shared his story on the ten o’clock news – the little baby left in a basket at a dingy Laundromat, born to a crack addict and expected to have all sorts of problems. I imagined the crack baby, Moses, having a giant crack that ran down his body, like he’d been broken at birth. I knew that wasn’t what the term meant, but the image stuck in my mind. Maybe the fact that he was broken drew me to him from the start.

It all happened before I was born, and by the time I met Moses and my mom told me all about him, the story was old news and nobody wanted anything to do with him. People love babies, even sick babies. Even crack babies. But babies grow up to be kids, and kids grow up to be teenagers. Nobody wants a messed up teenager.

And Moses was messed up. Moses was a law unto himself. But he was also strange and exotic and beautiful. To be with him would change my life in ways I could never have imagined. Maybe I should have stayed away. Maybe I should have listened. My mother warned me. Even Moses warned me. But I didn’t stay away.

And so begins a story of pain and promise, of heartache and healing, of life and death. A story of before and after, of new beginnings and never-endings. But most of all…a love story.

Excerpt

“You still talk to your horses.”

I jerked and Sackett shifted, not liking the spike of energy that shot through me or the fact that my fingers had yanked at his mane.

Moses stood silhouetted in the barn door, holding what looked to be a large canvas in his hand.

I hadn’t realized I was still talking to Sackett, and I did a quick examination of what I’d just said. I believe I had just uttered an embarrassing rant on people named Moses not being allowed in Georgia. “Oh, Lord,” I prayed silently but fervently, “you can make the blind man see and the deaf man hear so it shouldn’t be too much to ask to make this man forget everything he’s just seen and heard.”

“What does Sackett think about those new, stricter laws in Georgia?”

I looked up at the rafters, “Hey, thanks for comin’ through for me, Lord.”

I loosened the cinch that secured the saddle around Sackett’s middle and pulled the saddle from his back, hoisting it onto the saddle horse and removing the blanket beneath without looking at Moses. I was kind of surprised that he remembered Sackett’s name.

Moses took a few steps inside the barn and I could see a small smile playing around his lips. I gave Sackett a firm pat on his rump signaling I was done, and he trotted off, clearly eager to go.

“You’re back.” I said, refusing to embarrass myself further by getting angry.

“I took Tag home. He had big plans to train for his next fight old school, like Rocky, but discovered that it’s a little more appealing in the movies. Plus, I don’t do a very good Apollo Creed.”

“Tag’s a fighter?”

“Yeah. Mixed martial arts stuff. He’s pretty good.”

“Huh.” I didn’t know what else to say. I didn’t know anything about the sport. “Didn’t Apollo Creed die in one of the movies?”

“Yeah. The black guy always dies at the hands of the white man.”

I rolled my eyes, and he grinned, making me grin with him before I remembered that I was embarrassed and ticked off that he had kissed me and left town. It felt a little too much like the past. The grin slipped from my face and I turned away, busying myself shaking out the saddle blankets.

“So why did you come back?” I kept my eyes averted. He was quiet for a minute, and I bit my lips so I wouldn’t start to babble into the awkward silence.

“The house needs more work,” he replied at last. “And I’m thinking of changing my name.”

My head shot up, and I met his smirk with confusion.

“Huh?”

“I heard there was this new law in Georgia. Nobody named Moses can even visit. So I’m thinking a name change is in order.”

I just shook my head and laughed, both and embarrassed and pleased at his underlying meaning. “Shut up, Apollo,” I said, and it was his turn to laugh.

Synopsis

UFC Middleweight fighter, Ryley Jameson, swore it would never happen again. He was done with his ex, and over the pain she’d inflicted when she left him. At least, that’s what he tells people. Maybe if he says it enough, he’ll begin to believe it himself.

 

Regretting her decision to let Ryley go, Ashleigh Warren comes back into town and confronts him. Holding only one secret back, she puts the rest on the line and asks for a second chance. Too bad he’s not going to let her off easy.

 

Camden Jameson loves his twin brother, but his jealousy runs deep. They may be identical in looks, but that’s where the similarities end. When Ashleigh comes back into Ryley’s life, Camden has the perfect opportunity for revenge. Two birds, one stone.

A journey to the Dark Side affects them all, but only one feels the true sting of revenge.

Michel’s Review
Ryley’s Revenge was a complete unexpected surprise.  We met Ryley Jameson and Ashleigh Warren in A Fighter’s Desire Part 1.  This couple captured our attention along with Ryley’s twin brother Camden.  When all was said and done, no one really got their happily ever after.  Ashley had left Ryley and went back to her college sweetheart , Collin.  After a pregnancy scare that could have been Ryley’s child, Ashleigh realizes she has made a mistake leaving Ryley for Collin.  Now she is back and ready to fight for Ryley’s love.
 
Ryley was heartbroken when Ashleigh left him for Collin.  He was also hurt by his twin brother’s actions and reactions to his relationship with Ashleigh.  Ryley has been betrayed by the two people he loves the most.  When Ashleigh comes back from Aspen wanting to rekindle their relationship, he’s still angry over her betrayal.  He almost lets her go a second time but realizes that love is more important than pride.  He mans up, swallows his pride, and sets his focus on restoring his relationship with Ashleigh.
 
His twin brother Camden is harboring an unhealthy dose of jealousy.  He and Ryley are scheduled to fight one another for the championship title.  Camden wants to destroy Ryley in and outside of the ring.  He will stop at nothing to destroy his brother.
 
Camden has joined “the dark side”.  He is fighting in the illegal underground fighting arena where anything goes, including death. He has enlisted Collin to help him destroy Ryley and Ashleigh for good.  He is determined to destroy Ryley’s fighting career as well as his future happiness. His actions force Ryley to join the “dark side” to defend his honor, fight for his relationship with Ashleigh, and seek revenge against those that have tried to hurt them.  Ryley will have to choose between love and blood.  Ryley has more on the line than losing his brother, he could lose the Ashleigh and his future family.
 
Ryley’s Revenge was much more than a romance that revolves around the MMA fighting world.  It is about making choices that will define the kind of person you are at the end of the day.  It’s about learning to love despite all of the opposition standing in the way.  It is about sacrificing oneself for the one you love with all your heart.  It shows the importance of family and friendship in life.
 
I cannot wait for the next book in the series.  We got a taste of what’s to come with Paxton and Gabriella.  I am also hoping somewhere along the way Camden is going to be redeemed.
 
I highly recommend the Gloves Off Series by L. P. Dover.
