My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is such great romantic suspense novel that I couldn’t set it down once I picked it up! Selena suddenly has the rug pulled out from under her and finds herself in a dangerous world that she knows nothing about. Wyatt finds him self caught up in her drama and can’t help but get involved. I really enjoyed watching them grow closer as they struggled with different backgrounds and trust issues. There is so much action and suspense wrapped up in a budding romance that I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Always second best, Dwarf is use to being left or passed over for the tall, more classically handsome guys in the club. Raven is haunted by a horrid past. After a chance meeting, will the two find their happily ever after?

This was the first book by Manda Mellet that I have read. I did not except anything but a good, typical MC story; however I was presently surprised by the slight paranormal vibe that I got. I found the whole story to be well written as well, so much so, that I actually couldn’t put it down and finished it all in one sitting. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series. While I wait for the rest of the series, I will definitely be checking out other books by Mellet.

Squid (Moto X Book 5)Squid by Brooke May

I enjoyed this book. Although, I have not read the rest of the series, I think it is easy to follow along without having the story from the other books. This was another book that I could not put down and finished in a day.
“Squid: A rider who could use some training on his form and technique.” This is exactly the term to describe bachelor, Levi Crowe. He knows how to please the ladies but relationships, that is a whole new ballgame to this man. He has got everything he thinks he needs, fun times, friends, booze, and women that swarm around him. But he gets a rude awakening when Kindle enters the scene. She doesn’t want anything to do with this man, she has made it clear. So why can’t he get her out of his head?
Levi goes through some challenges and some life changing events. He gets a stalker that he can’t seem to shake. He must excel at his career and change the way he looks at life. Will this be enough to land the girl of his dreams? Or will the life he knows come crashing down on him?

This book was such an incredibly fun read! Anytime a librarian takes on or saves the world is worth the read. Kids will love this book, and any adult that is a kid at heart will as well. This story plays on the imagination and brings out the kid in you. Its silly, fun, and shows what all kids want to do which is save the world. I read this book with my 7 year old and we both adored it. Ray guns, space, aliens, friendship, and more!

This author has become one of my favorite authors of all time. I had never read an MC book before picking up one of hers and now I wait anxiously as each one comes out.
This was a little different than what I am used to, with a paranormal twist, but since that is a favorite genre of mine, I didn’t mind at all. Dwarf and Raven don’t find love at first sight but when they do notice each other the chemistry is hot. The ups and downs, twists and turns keep you on the edge of your seat for the whole book. Thank you so much to this author who puts so much into her books and keeps us readers coming back for more!!

Tickety Tock: Wicked Warriors MC Arizona Chapter by Manda Mellett

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. It’s a new series of the authors that I’ve read. Tickety Tock is a great read.

Liam aka Dwarf thought he found the girl. That’s until he found that she attached herself to his best friend. Now he’s stranded in the middle of nowhere. The quote I chose for Dwarf is: “Let me make this clear to you. You ran out in front of me. You caused the f***in’ crash. Least you can do, sweetheart, is whatever you can to help me.”

Raven is running from the ghost of her father. She runs out in the middle of the road and makes Liam crash his bike. Now she’s invited him to the cabin she lived in when she was a child. The quote I chose for Raven is: “I don’t know. Am I? I mean, I don’t know you, except that you’re a biker.”

Highly recommended for MC Romance lovers.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Although this is the second book in a series, I decided to read it even though I didn’t read the first. It didn’t stop or confusing or felt like I missed something from the fist book. The author has written a suspenseful, page turner of a story that kept me wanting to read more. When Avery is attacked, she is already on edge and worried about her safety. Her neighbor Luys wants to help but is he the reason for the attack? I really like the author’s style or writing and I’m sure to pick up other books she has written.

This is definitely a go to author for me and I never hesitate to pick up a book when they put a new one out. This book was awesome. I think it is my favorite of the ones I’ve read recently because u couldn’t put it down! The main characters are Dwarf and Raven…. VERY rough around the edges. But I really enjoyed their story and liked the growth they both went through and how they got closer and closer. I am looking forward to more books by this author in the future and I would definitely recommend to anyone that likes MC romances!
Happy Reading!

I thought this book was a unique story. Selena Hernandez found out her mother has been lying to her for her whole life. When her mother is arrested and taken to jail, Selena finds out that she is actually from Mexicao and not a legal citizen. Selena is led to believe that deporting herself to Mexico is her only option. She thinks it will be a rapid turn around to going back to her life in Arizona. She doesn’t count on discovering that her birth father is an important man in the drug cartel. Wyatt Demko didn’t plan on getting involved in everything going on with Selena, but he knew that he needed to warn her. Together they end up on quite the adventure, not knowing who they can trust. I was so sad for Wyatt as details of his abusive past came to light. I could see myself in Selena’s inner dialogue, especially when she would give herself a pep talk. This was an enjoyable read and had some small twists that I enjoyed!

This was a great 5 star read. This author has once again pulled me in with her writing and I loved it. Dwarf has a hard time with women, he has been used in the past so his walls are pretty high. While on his way home one night he unexpectedly finds himself avoiding something that came out on the road. This brings him face-to-face with Raven who was very scared.
Lets just say things take an interesting twist from here, and if you like creepy you will like this.

Dwarf is drawn to Raven and wants to protect her. They have some similar backgrounds that also connect them, they were great support for each other. You get a little bit of everything in this read and you won’t want to stop until you’re done. It felt like we got several different stories in one, we do get a taste of the paranormal as well. If you’re looking for an edge of your seat read, 1-click and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Wow such a great book. I have not found a book from this author that I have not enjoyed, but this one was different from your typical MC book. Dwarf is not the typical MC member. As his name implies he is not as tall as the other members but what he does not have in height he makes up for in heart. Raven has a childhood that is better left in the past. When her past starts to haunt her quite literally it seems, can Dwarf and his buddies help her to figure out what is going on? Can Dwarf and Raven heal the hurts from the past in each other?

I read Witch Switch by Louisa Bacio from this anthology. This story was simply delightful. Cheyenne and Rafe’s story was a joy to read and I found myself rooting for them as they faced their adversary. The journey of Cheyenne and Rafe to finding love together had some suspense and intrigue, which made for an interesting story. I enjoyed the story and do look forward to reading more from this author.

Every single time I see a new book from this author I think to myself it couldn’t get any better and this author proves me wrong every time. The things that play out in her head is fantastic and I for one am grateful she writes us stories. Once again her characters are so easy to connect with and root for. They each have a story to tell and I loved every minute of it. I definitely stay up way too late if I start one of this authors book and this one made me do it again and it was worth the sleepless night. If I could give more than five stars I would but just know it’s worth way more. Highly recommended! This book and this author in general!

While this is the first book that I have read from this author, I was overall impressed. The chemistry between the main characters was great, and there was a great balance between romance, intrigue, and action. Selena was a great main character, although like most she did have a few character flaws. But her chemistry with Wyatt and his sweet nature more then made up for it. This book was full of surprises that kept me on the edge of my seat and I’ll definitely be looking for more from this author.

FANTASTIC! I loved it! I love the direction Manda took this book. It’s definitely not her usual MC story. It is an MC story with an unexpected supernatural twist. It is unique, creepy, spooky, and has a little darkness to it. There is danger and suspense, intrigue and humour. As always, I love the banter between the brothers of the MC and their women.

He may be small in stature but there is much, much more to this man than his height. It is hard not to feel for this man who has always wanted what everyone else has. Someone who wants him and only him.

What could cause such fear, so much terror to cause someone to flee in the middle of the night?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I saw Olivia had another book out, I jumped right on it!

Unlikely to Tell is Karen’s story and the fourth book and another great addition in the Parker Lake contemporary romance series. Parker Lake is a small town where everyone knows everyone. Olivia weaves realistic tales that make it so easy to love characters.

With her steadfast besties beside her Karen’s journey into love is beautiful and fun. These wonderful and quirky characters made me laugh out loud once again. Of course, no love story is told without drama and emotions, crazy antics and humour, quick wit and easy banter, friendships and family and Olivia does it so well.

It’s time to jump on the Parker Lane bandwagon and start the amazing journey today.

Hold onto your passports!!! This book gripped extremely hard and was very difficult to put down the couple of times I had to!!

Selina has self-deported back to Mexico from her home in Tucson. She wants everything to be on the up-and-up, especially after finding out her entire life has been a huge lie. She doesn’t know the language and is struggling to go through the proper channels when her life changes drastically.

Wyatt isn’t loving his job but knows that the work he is doing at the Embassy could lead to something better. It’s when the beautiful woman walks into his office and a mysterious phone call is made that causes life to get interesting.

What lengths would you take to protect someone you just met?

Be ready to sit down and dive in because this one grabbed me from the first line and didn’t let up until the end. I’ve still got some questions though….

There is little time if any to ease into this book as it gets going very quickly! It grabs your attention and never lets go as there is not one lull in this story.

You can imagine that the first rule of any motorcycle club is don’t mess with their bikes. Dwarf has no such luck with a downed hog in the beginning of the book. As part of the Wicked Warriors MC Arizona Chapter, Dwarf is accustomed to having women look over him to his less vertically-challenged brothers. But his chemistry with Raven is something neither of them can deny. Brought together by a force that leaves both of them baffled, Dwarf has to wonder if fate is at hand.

This is a roller coaster ride and each time I thought I had it figured out, the story line would pull me in another direction. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up an MC book but I am pleasantly surprised to say the least.

Given how much I love this author’s Satan’s Devils MC series, I was excited to give this book a shot. I loved how different it was! A similar brotherhood to what I am use to with the Satan’s Devils MC, but the paranormal aspect to the story was intriguing. I was trying to puzzle out the mystery the whole time, and eventually I figured it out, but not for a while there, keeping me hanging on to the story. Dwarf’s insecurities were very relatable. Raven’s past was very tragic. Putting them together, I think they complimented each other quite well. I was a little frustrated with how back and forth Raven was, but it does make sense with her character. I am definitely going to be looking out for more in this series! If you like MC Romances, found family, overcoming tragedy, and overcoming insecurities, then give this book a shot!
