My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you haven’t already gotten each and every one of these books, now is the time. Get this series. It is amazing.

Each book features a different brother on the same mission. To regain their life after finding each other and escape the clutches of their depraved father. As the brotherhood cements and their father continues to evade their efforts to bring him down, each brother finds a reason to keep fighting. The path towards happiness for all the brothers culminates with the destruction of their father’s world, his influence, and him.

This series is fantastic. The characters continue to grow as their lives intertwine through each new episode. The author should receive praise for years to come for this series. Superb!!!

Caging Grace (Grace Series Book 1) by Carsen Lane – Review by M Policicchio

Caging Grace (Grace Series, #1).Caging Grace (Grace Series, #1). by Carsen Lane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fantastic. Amazing. Thrilling. Heart Wrenching. Sucks you in and won’t let you go.

Grace has lived in poverty her entire life. She learned to fight for everything in her life since she was young. Grace figured out that she also had to fight for her family’s survival in every way. That presents itself as occasional underground MMA fights. Grace gets the chance of a lifetime to become a brand ambassador for a new fitness apparel company. If she takes this job, they will pay her more than she could possibly imagine and give her the opportunity to fight professionally. Once Grace takes the job and slowly starts opening to others, she builds a family of friends.

If you can read this and not be caught up in the action, not cringe and flinch when the author describes the fighter’s injuries, no root for Grace during every fight, not feel pride when Dar stands on his own two feet, not hope for more for Grace, and having you buying the others in the series, YOU should not call yourself a bookworm! This book is one of the best I have read this year. LOVED IT!!!!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am just jumping into this series but I am going to catch up! I love the banter, the humor, the steam, the characters, and everything.

London “Lonny” Bridge is a badass in her own right. She is a detective trained by the best in the world.

Trueman Garza can’t stay focused on any one thing for too long thanks to his ADHD. It has never bothered him before until he met her. Now that she has suddenly popped up back into his life, all he can do is focus on her. London is different from every other woman in his life. Is True willing to settle down with just one woman?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Terrific glimpse into the mind of Bree, a young woman, trying not only to find her place in life but trying to find love in a world of heartbreak. I truly felt that I was in Bree’s head, understanding all her fears, her guilt, her emotions, her thoughts, her anxiety, her everything.

Belinda Marie “Bree” Simmons just gave up her corporate job to teach high school science and coach basketball. Bree is still unsure about this job, this choice but is doing her best. Bree is coming off the 2nd heartbreak in a row when she meets a tall, pale, blue-eyed stranger with a ‘Dracula’ accent. When Nate Vasiljeva bounces into her tennis club, Bree awkwardly tells him that she isn’t dating.

Nate decides that he and Bree are going to be friends. Bree makes sure that Nate knows that they could never be anything but friends on a regular basis. Bree fights her growing feelings for Nate because she refuses to believe he could be the one for her. You can feel Bree’s struggle with her emotions for Nate.

This was an easy, gentle read. Not bad for a relaxing weekend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Twists and turns keep up the suspense in this thriller. The author does not disappoint with another MC series.

Dwarf isn’t actually a little person, he is just shorter than all of his MC brothers. He was shorter than all of his Marine buddies, as well. Dwarf knows all about girls using him to get to one of his buddies or brothers. It nearly destroyed his friendship with one of his Marine buddies. When Dwarf meets Raven in the most unusual way, she jumps out of the darkness in front of his bike and he nearly runs her over, he thinks he has a real chance at happiness. They will have to battle each others’ ghosts to have a future.

Different but familiar to any other MC series. I will be adding this series, these characters, to my must read list. I am all in, again.

Heart Broken (Satan’s Devils MC #5) Audio Book by Manda Mellett – Review by M Policicchio

/0 Comments/in /by

If I didn’t already love this series, this installment would have cemented these characters in my heart.  The loving touch of a friend and the spirit of a treasured spouse getting Heart through his dark days so that he could be a better father, friend, brother, and partner.  Don’t get me wrong, I was super angry at Heart for treating Marc like he did.  But my heart broke for him more than once during this book.  

 

I loved hearing the backstory to the club and how things have changed.  If I haven’t already said that I LOVE this series, I do.  The mixture of steam, justice, family, and friendship is amazing.  Sure it is wrapped up in a big, burly, swear-laden biker and MC but that just adds a whole lot of fun and flavor!!!  

 

Another stellar addition to the series.

Hilarity ensues.

This continuation provides answers to some questions but leaves new ones!! Looking forward to the next book in the series! A great read for all ages.

Targeting Dart (Satan’s Devils MC #4) Audio Book by Manda Mellett – Review by M Policicchio

/0 Comments/in , /by

I don’t know how this author keeps finding ways to make these books better and better.  If I haven’t said I love this series before, let me say it now.  I LOVE THIS SERIES.  The characters are strong but gentle, loveable but deadly, make me laugh out loud but serious.  If it wouldn’t mean giving up my adoring husband and adapting a completely new lifestyle, I think I would find a way to become an old lady of one of the Satan’s Devils!! 

 

Dart, a known hit’em and quit’em kinda of guy, falls hard for a woman that is not his type and might even cause a stir in the club.  Alex is running from her abusive, cop soon-to-be-ex-husband.  She is doing everything she can think of to stay off anyone’s radar.  She even takes a cash job for the Satan’s Devils.  Dart seems to be able to resist the pull towards Alex until he meets her son, Tyler.  When Alex’s soon-to-be-ex kidnaps both Alex and her son, Dart and the brothers seek to get her back.  It works until Dart, Mouse, and Slick discover that brothers in a different chapter are plotting against them and are working with a dirty cop.  The suspense in this one kept my earbuds hot!!

So completely thrilled with a 2nd generation with these characters!!!!!! It is hard to say goodbye to characters and series, especially when you feel you watch the characters grow up throughout the series. Now I can find out what happens!! This author always twists my insides up when the story heads in a direction before throwing in a monkey wrench causing a heading change.

I want to be in the sorority of these strong women. They take no nonsense from anyone, especially their tough bikers. All these women are linked not only in their love of the club, their men, but each other! Looks like I am hanging out for the Second Generation!!!

Amy has come home for Christmas with a guy. Drew isn’t happy about this guy and feels that Amy is hiding something. Can Amy find home and herself with Drew?

Saving Marvel (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation Book 4)Saving Marvel by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this series. I loved the first generation. I am adoring this second generation. This chapter in the series has us finding out about Marvel. Marvel is a great brother but kind of a jerk. He never told anyone what happened to him, what turned him into a cynic. A chance meeting with a woman, Virginia, in the bank Marvel finds himself stuck in during a robbery turns into a kinship of sorts. When Virginia’s safety is put at risk because of her ex, Marvel finds himself wanting to protect her.

One thing this author manages to do is include characters from both generations seamlessly. Everyone flows and works together. The strong female characters, their sisterhood, and the love for their men make me wish I was someone’s old lady in this club. I am along for the ride until the bitter end!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a series opener!! Treachery, scheming, infighting, and deceit….and that is just with one family!! A kickass heroine that is only getting badder! I was so happy to see that Jason didn’t fight or deny the mate bond. I am enjoying the way that Lily is coming into herself, getting stronger, willing to be strong for others, and not willing to take crap from others especially the King. I can’t wait for the next books as there are so many promises that Jason has to keep, so many changes he wants to make!

This story is about learning your value and discovering the inner strength we all possess. The romance is just a bonus. Lily’s evolution, even Jason’s, is one from which we all can learn.

So good!! This is a story of love overcoming obstacles and discovering your family. Sometimes the family we make is healthier for us than the family we are born into. Regan discovers that in her best friend Phillip and again when she meets Jeremy. There were so many parts of this book that I didn’t see coming. I was not expecting all the twists. Regan is a smart, independent woman that is destined for great things in spite of where and how she grew up. Jeremy is a rich man’s son that has worked his way up the corporate ladder but doesn’t understand struggling. Together their chemistry is explosive. You can practically feel the sizzle coming off the page.

This was my first book by this author. BUT, you can guarantee that she has a permanent spot on my list of authors to watch and read!!

Two, I love the way the ‘wives’ accepted Summer. Three, I love how easily Luc accepted and became a part of the family. Four, I love the relationship between Luc and Summer (Lummer???). Five, EVERYTHING!!!! I have been in love with this series (and author) since I read No Way Out. The characters are fun, intelligent, bad ass, strong, funny, and dedicated to family.

Now, what I didn’t like about this book: The length!! That is it. I didn’t want it to end!! I wanted to hang out with the family a little longer.

This author knocks it out of the park again with a stellar addition to the series. I am as hooked now as I was after the first one. Meet me in the warehouse with a saint card, the dagger, and I will swear my allegiance to any one of these families. I am all in until the end.

Emotionally wrung out! Thoroughly delighted and enchanted. Angry and yelling at characters. Nearly in tears (and I am not a crier). There is not a single emotion that this author didn’t put you through. It was a fantastic, amazing, exhilarating, exhausting ride!! I would do it again.

When Grace can’t take her roommate’s random behavior and random friends showing up at the apartment anymore, she takes an offer from the guy across the hall. If she is willing to cook dinner for him every night, she can live rent free. It is a strange deal. One that has Grace curious. When Grace decides to think about it, Ian, that is the neighbor, walks her to her apartment to get her phone. When Grace and Ian get to the apartment, there are random people coupled in the living room and Grace’s bedroom. Ian decides that she is coming to stay at his place right then.

Grace can’t deny she has chemistry with Ian. Grace feels him fighting their connection at every turn. One night, they kiss and things start popping off from there. The only problem is Ian doesn’t tell Grace the truth.

Let me tell you, these two get into some messes. When the secret and the truth come out, gasp!! Shock! I am not kidding. The author had me hooked into this story, these characters, this drama from nearly the first word. All I can say is BRAVO!!! Let me know when your next one is coming out. I want to be 1st in line. This book was so good, and left me so emotionally attached to the characters that I could not read another book for the rest of the night.

Seductively Yours (Titans of Manhattan Book 3) by Anise Storm

5 out of 5 Stars

I don’t know where to begin. Powerful, strong women going after their dreams. Crazy hot, sexy men that are captains of their industry. Steamy, lustful relationships between the two. This author has me wrung out again. Just when you think Rhyann and Mason are going to find the happiness they both deserve, a twist, a turn, a detour comes out of the blue!

Rhyann came to Manhattan to follow her dream of being a dancer. She was accepted and received a full scholarship at an elite dance academy. One night when she is out clubbing with her roommate who has given Rhyann the advice to ‘just have fun’, Rhyann acts out of character and flirts with a stranger that started dancing with her. The stranger and Rhyann share a hot but anonymous encounter. When Rhyann goes back to the same club applying for a job, she discovers her anonymous encounter is the club owner, Mason. Mason hasn’t stopped thinking about his encounter with Rhyann (now he knows her name) since it happened but he knows that it won’t happen again if he hires her. Mason almost doesn’t give her the job because of this.

As Mason’s past and Rhyann’s future throw roadblocks to their relationship, Mason and Rhyann just try to find ways to survive without each other. Their pull towards each other is undeniable.

Ahhh-mazing!!! Fantastic! Delicious! Wonderful!! I absolutely love this series. This author never lets me down. I wait on pins and needles for the next Titan!!

This gripping story might be meant for the YA crowd but had me glued to my screen reading every last word. I felt what Rourke felt. I worried when Rourke worried. I nearly fell apart when he cried at the fire. I mourned the loss of Sam with Rourke. The author understood this young man. The care and concern shown by the author when discussing and handling Carson’s and Grace’s issues is phenomenal. The growth shown by Rourke during this book was fantastic.

Whether you are in middle school or were ever in middle school, have a special needs sibling, know a bully, or have friends, you should read this book.
