My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Please please please heed the trigger warnings. This book hit so close to home for me. This story is full of emotions and turmoil as Noah and Bijou navigate what is and is not okay in the moment. As Bijou is navigating life after her husband has passed and how to be a mother at the same time, is something that hit me so hard. I had to take couple times and set this down and come back. However, this makes me want to read the rest of this series.

Back in the Ring (The Predator #4)Back in the Ring by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bijou has been through a lot the past few years but the biggest struggle is trying to keep her husband’s memory alive with the youth club he set up for under privileged kids, but with the economy in the toilet she is struggling to keep her head above water at the moment and she is also trying to raise her 12 year old daughter which is not an easy task on her own.

So when things needs fixing within the centre who can she rely on to help, Noah was her husband’s friend and a widower himself looking after his two year old son, so he volunteers to help with the repairs as a handyman he is more than capable of helping fix it up, but he is private and pushes people away if they get too close, but he has a secret but what happens when secrets threaten to be revealed.

This is the fourth book in the series and can be read as a stand alone story. The characters are well developed and the story flows brilliantly. The chemistry between these characters is off the charts and you are willing them to get together and see where it goes. Bijou’s daughter is just the right kind of angst to make the character believable.

I enjoyed this story and read fast paced to see what would happen in the end, the secondary characters where a great additional to the story and added an extra layer which has you invested in the story. I can’t wait to read the next instalment of this series.

Malice (Demented Souls #10)Malice by Melissa Stevens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loving the cover ! I’m a little annoyed at myself for only coming into The Demented Souls now ! I didn’t feel lost at all by very deprived 😉 so I’ll be starting at the beginning soon enough …..

So Malice is newly patched into The Demented Souls and after serving in the army he needs a little peace and quiet so the ranch seems to be ideal , he’s in town grabbing a bite to eat when he sees a woman in quite the predicament, her ex is trying to kidnap her and lucky for her Malice is around to intervene , Patrick, the ex clearly doesn’t understand when to leave well enough alone 😡

Bonnie needs to get off the grid for a bit and the ranch seems to be the ideal place and at least Malice can keep and eye ( his hands and mouth ) on her 😉

I know these bikers have a bad rep but one thing is they’re protective and what you see is what you get , a true brotherhood .
Bonnie is one very lucky lady 🥰

If this was anything to go by I know I’ll enjoy what came before and what is to come . A one clicking I go ❣️📚

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book four in the Predator Series. And how sad does this story start!! Death of a loved one just plain sucks. New characters are introduced who pull me right into their world.

I loved this story, even with the underlying sadness. Hope is a good thing. Second chances are amazing.
This story can be read without reading the first three, but it helps connect the characters later into the story.

The writing in this story is good. I enjoyed this book and the series. Looking forward to reading May’s other series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The 4th book in The Predator Series and the second read for me in this series. By far my favorite yet. Bijou and Noah have both lost their spouses and have been alone raising a child for at least a year (Noah).
Will meeting and learning about each other, helping one another with difficulties, and just growing together as friends, and companions lead to more in the future? This book was very hard to put down and finishing it was a breeze. I absolutely loved the characters, especially Mara the quirky best friend of Bijou. This is one of my most favorite reads of this year so far. The highs and lows, the laughs, tears, frustration, you feel it all.

Falling Down (ROCKSTAR)Falling Down by Anne Mercier
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lucy and Jesse had a chance meeting at the airport in Chicago. Jesse was a mega star, lead guitarist/keyboardist/singer of the rock back Falling Down. Lucy had been following the band since their early days and had a major crush on Jesse. They had an instant connection, a spark if you will, but the timing just wasn’t right. Six long years later they meet up again, this time on the set of Falling Down’s newest music video. When Jesse proposes a weekend of no strings attached sex Lucy tries her hardest to keep things strictly professional. When the video wraps she decides that she can’t pass up the opportunity that has been presented. She goes into it knowing that Jesse doesn’t do relationships, but as the weekend progresses things start to change. Will one weekend be enough? I enjoyed this book as well as the characters. I enjoyed Lucy’s mama and her antics because I understood where she was coming from as a mother. If you like angsty rock stars finding true love even though they swear they will be a forever bachelor this is your book.

Malice (Demented Souls Series) by Melissa Stevens

Malice is part of the Demented Souls Series and is a Contemporary Romance/MC Romance that I truly enjoyed reading. This is a fairly new author to me and it seems I started in the middle of the series so I’m gonna go back and read what books I’ve missed. This is Bonnie and Malice story. He’s been recently patched in and she’s recently broken up with her ex who doesn’t seem to take no for an answer. Can Bonnie learn to trust again? Can Malice protect her from her ex? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author and this series.

I love it when you pick up a book by a new-to-you author and feel like you’ve struck gold! That’s exactly how I felt once I began reading Falling Down. This is the first book in the ROCKSTAR series and what an amazing start it has been! I thought the cover looked pretty cute, but once I read the synopsis I knew I had to give it a whirl. The author’s disclaimer had me pulling the book open in no time at all. Lucy and Jesse have a chemistry that rivals some of the best I’ve read, so experiencing their attraction within these pages was steamy! The spicy romance is written well and only adds to the story, it doesn’t carry the plot. I really enjoyed all of the characters and felt rather close to them quite quickly. If you enjoy a steamy rockstar romance, do yourself a favor and start this series off with a bang! I can’t wait to see what else this author has in store because I am all in!

Malice (Demented Souls #10)Malice by Melissa Stevens
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Melissa Steven’s is a new-to-me author, but I love a good Motorcycle Club romance, so I grabbed Malice. I didn’t realize it was book 10 so I was late to the game, but each of the books in this series are stand alone stories about each member of The Demented Souls MC. Malice, recently released from the Army, working on a ranch, enters a diner and finds Bonnie being harassed by a guy, who happens to be her ex, but will not take no for an answer. He gives her his number in case anything else were to happen and she ends up hiding out at the ranch. Proximity of course makes them realize there is something sparking between them, but can Bonnie ever really trust a man again? Malice had your typical motorcycle club action, nail biting danger, intrigue, and of course romance/spice. I can definitely see myself going back to Book 1 to see what the rest of The Demented Souls MC is all about.

When thinking of what to write for a review for Falling Down I’m torn on what to settle with for a rating, 3-3.5 stars I feel is a good middle point. I adored the MMC, and while I liked Lucy, I wasn’t as in love with her as I should have been. I could relate to her in some things, but others not so much. The chemistry between Jesse and the FMC was strong. I liked the supporting characters as they were just as central to the story as the main characters. Overall it was a good read and I’m interested enough to pick up more in this series.

What a great novella! This is book 3 of The Predator Series, and we get to learn about Beth and her background and Scott. It takes them a while to get it together, but they finally admit that they are meant to be together. Can’t get much better than this!

Back in the Ring by Brooke May

Book94/50 was 5⭐️!

This was the 4th and final book in The Predator Series, and it did not disappoint!! I love a good “happily ever after”!

This book follows a known character from the previous books, along with an introduction of a newer character. Is it an accident they keep coming together, or is Fate playing a hand in this deal?

If you haven’t read any books from this series, I highly suggest starting with “The Predator: Part One”, and go from there! You will not regret reading this series!!

As always,
Happy Reading! 🩷

When I first started reading this book I had no idea it was so far into the series. Now that I know I will definitely go back and read earlier books in this series because I enjoyed this one so much. I love a good MC story so I am glad that I found this series and this author. I was pulled into the story from the start. Bonnie broke up with her ex and he can’t seem to take no for an answer. Malice listened to his instincts and stepped in at the right time to stop Bonnie’s ex from kidnapping her. When her ex starts to escalate she has no choice but to turn to Malice but she doesn’t know if she should trust him. This book had a little bit of everything I love in a good read. I recommend diving right in. I can’t wait to read more by this author.

“Life is only sweet if you share it with your person”. What’s not to like about this book. Even though this is the fifth book in the series and the first one I’ve read, I didn’t feel like I was missing anything from the other four books.
From childhood friends to adults who fall in love. Best friends who end up fighting and making up. The Awwwww moments in this book is a lot. The amount of passages I’ve highlighted in this book is incredible. Usually it’s not this much. Definitely a wholesome romance book and definite recommendation.

This book is a brilliant romantic comedy that really does have you laughing out loud the whole way through. I thought the two main characters in this book were so entertaining. I instantly connected with them and found to be so easy to read about. However, I thought the supporting characters were all just as good. They each added something to the story and made it even better.
The overall storyline is the sort of one that is perfect for losing yourself in an afternoon of reading. It is fun, engaging and a joy to read through. I haven’t read much by this author but, after reading this book, I will definitely be reading more!

Having recently read another book in this series, I was pleased to be able to get my hands on this one so soon. This book is just as a good as the first one I read and I really enjoyed the two characters are the centre of the story. They were complicated and flawed and yet completely perfect for each other. Their connection and chemistry was obvious and I loved watching how their story played out.
I thought the story was well written and interesting. The author knew how to move it forward at the right time and keep you interested from start to finish. I am pleased to see that this series has so many books to offer and I am looking forward to delving into them all.

Malice (Demented Souls #10)Malice by Melissa Stevens
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a good story but I am not a fan of the writing style. Every detail and thought is mentioned more than once which means it takes forever for the story to move along. This style makes me bored and I tend to skim but no worries I did not miss anything. I know this is fiction but I can not fathom a girl immediately bonding with another guy let alone going to his place in the middle of nowhere especially after almost being kidnapped.

Other than the above the characters are nice. Not sure about an MC running a ranch but that is a different avenue. This seems to be a small group that are unique. I liked both the main characters and even his MC family.

Overall for me this story has its ups and downs. This is exactly what I expected from this author due to previous books I have read. I did not love it but also did not hate it. This is a book in a large series and I have not read any other ones in this series. So maybe there are running storylines making this even out a lot of stuff.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 4 in the series and it did not disappoint. It was just as good if not better than the first three books. This book can be read as a stand alone but I highly recommend reading the whole series. The characters are sprinkled throughout the other books, so you have an idea of who they are. Plus, you are able to get a deeper connection with the characters. If you choose to read this book first just know that you won’t be disappointed. You will be able to gain that connection because of how the book is written. I love a good second chance love story and I love to see growth of characters. This book has both of those things. These characters have been through some stuff in their lives and they are hesitant to move forward because of the past trauma. The growth allows them to believe again and fall for each other. The emotions that this book was able to pull out of me was shocking but felt cathartic at the same time. It was a quick read because I couldn’t put it down. I am just a huge fan of this series and the books keep getting better and better. I love reading the evolution of the characters in this book. It has everything a great romance would have; love, steam, push and pull, character development, and being a page turner.

Jesse is delectable 🥰, he’s like nectar to a bee but his dying is A LOT more pleasant 🤣🙈🔥 and I fully get why Lucy had a hard time resisting his charm and advances 😉

Lucy is pure sunshine , rainbows and happiness but there is a suppressed naught and wild side that needs to come out and play and Jesse is just the catalyst that dude of her persona needs🔥🫣

I loved being part of their story and the other characters were also entertaining especially her mum and the other band members 🤣🙌

Forbiddenly Yours (Titans of Chicago Book 2)Forbiddenly Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love these books! I’ve read every Titan book that’s been released so far and none of them have disappointed me. Forbiddenly Yours is no different. Actually Forbiddenly Yours combines two of my guilty pleasures in these types of books. Passion and Forbidden Fruit(Professor/Student relationship.
Nicole and Callum both ended up on a retreat in Costa Rica. Nicole being the daughter/niece of Titans in California and Manhattan. Callum a Titan in Chicago. But nothing could go wrong right. They and strangers during their trip, not knowing the details about the other, besides they both come from wealth. So what happens when after a night of passion turns into their worst nightmare. She’s his student, he’s her professor, which would make any relations between them forbidden.
Will they be able to resist one another?
Or will they cross the line?
I’m sure you can guess the second answer, but jumping in and reading makes it all the more worthwhile. These books may be part of a series, but they are very much standalone novels as well. Though I’ll warn you once you read one you are going to want to read them all!! And they are totally worth it. Just you wait and see, after you take the leap on this one.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a few books from this author and she always blows my mind. This is the fourth book of the very addictive Predator series. You can read this book as a stand alone but there are some previous characters in the story as well. I was hooked on this book right from the start. I could not put this book down until the end. It only took me a few hours to devour this story. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

Bijou Augustine is a young widow that is trying to raise her daughter all on her own. She is also trying to keep her late husband’s center open as well. Bijou is starting to realize that the center is losing money and it is also in bad shape. She doesn’t know what to do. Bijou’s friend introduces her to the handsome Noah. He is a single dad that also lost his love. They feel something for each other but they want to take it slow. Will Bijou find another happy ever after or will the past be too much for her to heal?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bijou is a widowed mom trying to keep her husband’s dream of a Youth Center alive but struggling to keep it and her family afloat. Bijou and her daughter Claire work hard everyday. But living in small town Georgia trying to keep the Youth Center open while dodging developers and costly repairs to the building is driving Bijou to the brink.

Noah is trying to heal after the devastating loss of his wife to a drunk driver. Noah is also trying to manage being a full-time father. Not that he hasn’t had the last year without his wife to get used to it but now he needs to focus on living again. Noah moves to a small town in the middle of nowhere in hopes of getting lost in the crowd, knowing that someday his past will surface.

Noah is attempting small town life as a handyman. When he crosses paths with Bijou, Noah realizes that there might still be room in his life for more than just his son. Bijou also fights the idea that she can move on with her life even after 6 without her husband. As Noah and Bijou rediscover love, they slowly rediscover themselves. Despite a few hiccups along the way, their love blossoms.

This was a heart-wrenching but warming addition to this series.

I loved the sneak peek into how things like music videos are made and the real goss behind the scenes of the music and video industries. Although a fictionalised version of course, it was a great way to start imagining all the goings on. Plus the whole chemistry aspect between Lucy and Jesse – every girl dreams of growing up to date her rockstar idol don’t they??
