Road is heading out to the Utah chapter of Satan’s Devils unannounced. He is there to find some things out. When he gets there things aren’t quite like they seem. The quote I chose for Road is: “I’ve not heard anything from you. I don’t know what makes you tick. I got disrespected on my arrival starting with the prospect, Gears. Have I seen anything I like here? Have I learned sh** about you to be able to say I’d lay down my life for the club ? Like f**k. Right now, I’m feeling the opposite.”

Swift is the only female in the Utah Chapter. They’ve got some things they’d like to keep on the DL. When Road shows up Swift gets more than she bargained for. The quote I chose for Swift is: “If you want someone to partner up with Road to see what he’s made of, then I’m up for it.”

Highly recommended for MC Romance lovers.

When I’m doing something, I wonder what her opinion might be. And her opinion matters to me for some reason.”

Another great read by Dawson. Hartwood really sounds like a magical place. I highly recommend this for romance lovers.

Apologize to her. Find a way in your cold dead Grinch heart to let her in. And then leave me the hell alone.”

Moonlight and Belladonna: A Small Town Halloween Romance (Hartwood Holiday Romance) by Jae Dawson

Cade is a famous artist. When he cimes home to bury someone he loves things go from eh to worse. Community service lets him stay to take care of someone. Will he fall for the teacher? The quote I chose for Cade is: “Yeah, I didn’t start a band to become famous. I did it because I loved music and I loved playing music with my friends. It pi**es me off that the best songs I write usually don’t make the A-side cut, while the vapid but catchy drivel I’m forced to write ends up at the top of the Billboard charts. And that it’s more important how I look, what my branding image is, than how I play. And that every person I meet wants a piece of me because my record label contract somehow makes me a demi-god of entertainment. It’s . . . exhausting.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.
