Drummer
As President of the Satan’s Devils MC I can have every and any woman I choose,and do. That’s how I got my name. But I’m happy with the variety, I know I’d never find a woman my equal to be my old lady.
Then I meet her, on the road to my compound, standing beside a goddamn Vincent Black Shadow, one of the most iconic bikes of all time. When she tells me she’s Viper’s daughter, I know she has to be lying. There’s no way he’s fathered a child, not one of her age, it’s just not possible. I can’t deny an attraction to her, but if she’s who she says, she’s the one woman I’m unable to have. I can’t go against a brother.
Sam
Trouble, I’ve found, comes in many forms. Trouble in the shape of the surly president of this MC who just wants me gone. Trouble in that my father denies our relationship, and the trouble that’s followed me the fifteen hundred miles I’ve ridden to come to find my surviving parent. And when my past catches up with me, I need the protection of the MC to keep me safe.
I’ve never been a girly girl and not particularly interested in finding a man. But Drummer’s something else, and denying my attraction to him might be my biggest battle of all.

Whew, I loved this story! Its got a little bit of everything – wounded hero, a feisty heroine, and enough chemistry to blow you away! First of all, hard not to love Hud. I loved watching this relationship play out as well. I felt like characters were realistic and that the way romance unfolded was realistic. My first book by this author, but def won’t be my last. Thank you for bringing me a great read that I couldn’t put down!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a few books from this author and she continues to blow my mind. This is the fourth book in The Caught series. You can read this book as a stand alone but there are some previous characters in this story as well. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I was hooked on the first page and could not put it down until the end. I can’t wait to see what she will write about next.

Bryant Bellamy was told by his dying mother that he had to make things right. He sends his two kids to live with their mother so he can make things right. Bryant has no idea where this guy could be but he was told he moved to a small town in Oregon. He is only on a mission and then going home but he meets the beautiful Aubrey. Bryant is attracted to her but she tells him that she will be leaving town soon. They are both targets to a new stalker and they become close. Will they find out who it is or will it be too late?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Red’s Peril Part 1: The making of an MC Prez (Satan’s Devils MC Vegas Chapter) by Manda Mellett is a really good read! This is an MC romance, with mystery, danger, drama and more.
In this story, we follow Red, who is mentioned in previous books of the Satan’s Devils MC series.
Red, in search of warmer weather to ride his Harley year round, is on a mission of self discovery. He meets a waitress, at a café he’s stopped at and one thing leads to another and well, you know… things happen. He hasn’t always had it easy and climbed his way to the top to become the Prez of the Satan’s Devils Vegas Chapter.
But is there more? Is this all there is for him? The book did end in a cliffhanger and I’m excided to read Part 2 to see how things play out!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning.
You could feel the connection between the characters and the author does a great job with their story as well.

Both Elgin and Mary Beth have things they are trying to move forward from. There is something about Elgin that calls to Mary Beth and she has the need to help him. Can these two help each other move forward? Can they have a HEA?

Overall I really enjoyed this steamy read. My emotions were all over the place. I loved Mary Beth, she was feisty and she cared deeply about helping Elgin. Elgin tugged at my heart strings with the things from his past. If your looking for a great erotic romance I highly suggest this one. 1-click and get started today.

Spoilsport (Pierce Brothers, #2)Spoilsport by Belinda Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book 2 in the Pierce Brothers series, and we get to watch another brother fall hard. Belinda Williams knows her way around romantic comedy, and this book will definitely having you smiling, laughing, and cheering through to the end.

Nadia was unexpected. You truly feel for her and the emotional baggage she holds regarding her parents toxic marriage and messy divorce. She was very jaded about love and relationships with a determination to never let that sentimental 4 letter word break her. She was a hard character to love and connect with in a sense. However there were many times I adored her, wanted to yell at her, shake her, or just hug her with the way she had my emotions going lol. Eventually I warmed up to her character, and I was rooting for her. Luke was sweet, lovable, and a great father. He saw past Nadia’s cold exterior, and saw the beautiful and amazing woman she was.
When Nadia and Luke reconnect because her house is in dire need of a little TLC it becomes Luke’s chance to get his girl. Opposites truly attract as he pushes her outside her comfort zone and we are pulled into their many cheesy moments adorned with playful banter. Nadia is determined to keep her heart and distance from Luke even with the daily close encounters. The miscommunication and the tension runs high, but deep down they are both aware that the one night stand they had would never ben enough. Luke wants his next love story to be the works, and he wants it with Nadia. A dream home is not truly a house without a family, and this story really brings you home.

It just keeps getting better. The second book in series in the Pierce Brothers series; was just as good as the first. While I was a fan of Tom from Mr. Nice Guy, I’m even a bigger fan of Lucas. I enjoyed the chemistry between him and Nadia, how they both had to work on being vulnerable with each other. Spoilsport is fun, witty, charming, easy to read, lighthearted and humorous. I enjoy reading every minute of reading this novel, and I’m anticipating Book 3.

Snowflakes & Stockings (A Wilton Hills Christmas Book 4) by Marianne Rice – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

Snowflakes & Stockings (A Wilton Hills Christmas, #4)Snowflakes & Stockings by Marianne Rice
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Snowflakes & Stockings is another really cute book by Marianne Rice, in the Wilton Hills Christmas series. It can be read as a stand alone- it is the first book I read in this series and I loved it. I look forward to reading the others, as they are each about one of Liberty’s siblings. At first it had a Fifty Shades vibe to it- not the bondage, but the characters. Young innocent reporter interviewing gorgeous millionaire bachelor. The mystery surrounding he and his family… But, this book was clean and adorable. I loved the characters and their chemistry. Liberty has a really tightknit family and they are all loveable. I liked the added tidbit of how she and her siblings got their names, it really brought the family to life. I like that Sawyer was really sweet, and wish there was a little more detail about his childhood loss. I felt it was breezed over and he didn’t get as much background built as Liberty. I recommend this book as a quick cute romantic book to get you in the holiday spirit, and enjoy the happily ever after.

Snowflakes & Stockings (A Wilton Hills Christmas, #4)Snowflakes & Stockings by Marianne Rice
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had no clue when I downloaded this book that there were three other books before Snowflakes and Stockings. But no the less I picked right up on the storyline. I felt like I was in the middle of a Hallmark movie scene the whole way through the book. Rice did a great job setting the tone while keeping the reader hooked.
Liberty is a driven, independent spitfire who comes from a big close family. While Sawyer is equally driven and independent, he is the co-owner of Maine’s big tech firm. While Liberty is trying to investigate the identity of Maine’s Secret Santa, which she hopes will help her to land a promotion at her job, she comes across Sawyer. Personally, the way Rice developed Sawyer’s character I found very relatable. He comes from a workaholic family background, who don’t spend too much time outside the office together. When Liberty invites Sawyer to Thanksgiving dinner, she has no idea that he would fit in so perfectly.
I truly fell in love with this book so much that I downloaded the three-book the preceded Snowflakes and Stockings. This series is a must-read series, especially with the holidays approaching.

This is book 2 of the series and it was really good. You meet Leann Bobbin in book 1 as she is Betsy’s sister. While attending Betsy and Nash’s engagement party, Leann meets Len, who work for the local police department. When Len calls Leann on their daily check in, Leann, who is working at her first full time job at a bank, lets Len know of a robbery that is taking place. As the robbery ends, I love how it brings Leann and Len closer. The story flowed so quickly in this book and I just wished it was a bit longer :).

Cheyenne and Lane were fated mates and found each other unexpectedly. Both were stricken with less than desirable pasts, but driven by the strength to overcome. Unable to ignore the pull of the bond they come together to find the love they have been missing with plenty of drama, action, and romance along the way. The story truly displays the beauty of fated mates and the support of a strong pack.
This book captured my attention from the start! The first book in the Long Claw Pride series, and it makes you excited knowing that there is more. The story itself and the characters were well developed and original. You cannot help but fall in love and get excited when you find a good paranormal series, and this is definitely one.

Fate, Frankincense & FuneralsFate, Frankincense & Funerals by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Naomi Valkyrie has done and stole my heart once again with Fate, Frankincense & Funerals! This little gem might be a short read but man does it pack a punch! The world that Ms. Valkyrie has really become fully developed and just pops off the screen of your kindle as you read and that is hard to do with novellas, but also a really strong point of Valkyrie’s writing skills. She knows how to create these worlds so beautifully with vivid words that make you feel as if you can taste the air and smell it at the same time as you feel the ground you are walking on while you stand beside your character you are reading. I particularly loved the journey and the world we got to experience in Fate, Frankincense & Funerals. It was slightly dystopian and built on ancient laws that are heavily outdated. The shifter races are highly believable and I really loved the way they were described. I liked the way the romance was really prevalent in this one, something Naomi Valkyrie hasn’t played with quite as much in the past novels I have read of hers. I look forward to seeing what we will get next from her!

Victoria Zak knocks it out of the park with Rock Me To The Top! I absolutely love Joe and Melody’s love story! Melody falls in love with a famous drummer from the rock band called Gracefalls not only is Joe the all star drummer but her childhood best friend. This story gave me Nicolas Sparks love story feels but had enough smutty romance to it. It was hard to put it down as you go through the twist and turns with Melody living on the tour bus as GraceFalls manager and falling in love with her childhood best friend Joe. I loved that both had rough past and both come out on top of the world at the end. I found myself crying in some parts because of how much Joe loved her. I really hope there is a second book to see what happens next.

This is such a steamy sweet story of submission and healing. Elgin and Mary Beth have such a unique dynamic from the very first moment they meet. Although they both try to keep their distance as their domme/sub relationship develops, it doesn’t take long for both of them to start to develop feelings. I really enjoyed that this was written with a female domme instead of the typical male domme found in many books. This is also a very unique romance in that the sub was an alpha sub and not what typically comes to mind when you think of a sub male.
This book really delves into just how healing and fulfilling a domme/sub relationship can be for those who are drawn to this particular lifestyle. The surprise ending is so fitting and made me laugh and smile simultaneously, because it absolutely stayed true to their special brand of romance.

Red’s Peril Part 1: The making of an MC Prez (Satan’s Devils MC Las Vegas Chapter) by Manda Mellett

I don’t know how she does it but Ms. Mellett has written another amazing book and I’m so glad they keep coming.

Red’s Peril was a great walk down memory lane along with bits and pieces we may not have known and in my case some things that were forgotten.

Red has been in the background in the previous books and I am so glad we get to know him and the guys in Vegas.  I really love how she has connected his time line to the others and helped us fill in some blanks we weren’t even aware of.

There is so much I could say but it all is regarding particulars of Red, his past and his present so I’m going to hold off for now.

Part 2 comes out in three long weeks, have the release date circled on my calendar and will be dropping everything to get this read.

If you are looking for a great book and series you won’t go wrong with Red or any of Satan’s Devils.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I never dreamed this would be my life in charge of a biker gang but they look after me when I need it and become the Prez, but will I ever find the right person to spend my life with since I screwed up the only relationship that ever meant anything to me.

Red has been on a long road, first giving up on his dream as a young boy to become a mechanic to then want to spread his wings and fly to Las Vegas, but when he happened upon some bikers who brought him into the fold and years later he is in charge of the chapter all he wants is an “old Lady” to have a family with but long ago he had that person but it flitted through his hands and will he ever be able to find someone to match her.

Cheryl is floating through life but she is trying to get the handsome biker out of her head, but when she ends up in as Vegas and sees him again the attraction is instant again but will this time be the right time or will life get in the way.

I loved this story, the attraction and chemistry between the main two characters was off the page. Red has pop up in the other books in the various series and you have always just had enough information to peak your interest and then its ripped from you in wanting more and we have more. This is a great introduction to this series and as always with Manda she draws you into the story from the first word to the last and then have you wanting more.

The story is well written and the characters are believable and relatable as the character of Red is flawed but has a good heart and wants to do the right thing, Cheryl is a perfect match for him as she is not a size zero, petite blonde but describe as a curvy full woman which makes the characters more believable and you can relate to them and are rooting for them.

I can’t wait for part two and see where the story goes.

Man Oh Man! I was hesitant to read this as I don’t care for duets. I am sure glad I did anyway!(I mean its by Manda Mellett so of course I picked it up) This is really the making of a SD Prez and the intro to the LV SD. We take this trip right along with Red. It gives some insight Into what a prospect and on up goes through. The friends he makes and loses along the way. The questions he has , the biker life he doesn’t want and the girl he cant forget all add up to the story I could not out down!

The author did a great job with this one. I can see why the break was needed. Originally I thought she could just sum it up with a couple chapters and a flashback here and there but I really think she did so much better doing it this way. I was really able to immerse myself into Red’s life and almost felt like I was a little devil sitting on his shoulder..keeping an eye on him.

Overall I absolutely LOVE this story and Red. It really was a journey that I took along with Red. I look forward to the next!

Ps. I keep notes while reading a book. This one had me scrambling and rearranging and its about a mile long 🙂 Kept me on my toes!

Spoilsport (Pierce Brothers, #2)Spoilsport by Belinda Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was on par with the last, and I have to admit that I was looking forward to learning more about the story between Nadia and Luke since the last installment. I loved that we still heard from Chelsea and Tom and discovered that their romance was the real deal. Everything seems to be falling together, and, at this rate, all of the brothers will find their true love by the end of this series. It’s bittersweet to think about. Going back to the story: Nadia is well known for her cold heart and inability to feel love or want a relationship. She and Luke have a rocky past – to say the least – and this book filled me with many different emotions over the course of the read. I loved that we learned more about what happened between Luke and his ex-wife, that we were given more insight into what was happening with him and his daughter, and that we gained many glimpses into Nadia’s past. Everything was so well-written and gave us all of the information that we wanted (and that they needed) to overcome their shortcomings and find a way to make it work. Luke’s hardworking, serious demeanor and Nadia’s fun-loving, stubborn exterior are a perfect blend. I am so excited to see what is coming up next for Seth!

The Mating CallThe Mating Call by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really liked the characters of the Long Claw pride, especially Cheyenne, and her sisters and brother. All are deeply affected by the despicable actions of Casper, their father, who was by turns absent and abusive. While all the children grow up knowing that the mating call is part of life as a lion shifter, and that they will likely meet their mate one day, they are scarred from witnessing the action of their mother’s mate. Despite this, the women are all strong, independent females with unique personalities and interests. Cheyenne is an interesting heroine, one who has quite an emotional and psychological journey in this novel. I felt her deep connection to the land and her kin, and her closeness to family resonated with me. None of the characters are simple or archetypical; they are layered and unique, interesting and flawed. I appreciated this in particular about the book.

Wow! What can I say about Come Back Tomorrow by Amy Argent? For a start it needs to come with a ‘tissues required’ warning. Honestly, if you can read this book without sobbing like a baby then you must have a swinging brick for a heart.
I really don’t think that there are enough superlatives or that I have a big enough vocabulary to describe just how amazing this book it. I have to say that it totally wrecked me. I laughed. I cried, oh God, I cried so much. I was angry. In fact, I think I went through every emotion possible reading this book.
29 year old, terminal cancer patient Will Everson has to be one of the best characters that I have ever read, followed closely by Tori Somerset. They both blew me away.
This book is a total eye opener to just how awful cancer can be. Reading what Will’s character went through is just totally heartbreaking. I felt so much for him as we went through his awful journey with cancer.
This book now has to be up there in my top 10 favourite books ever and I know that I will read it over and over in the years to come. I wasn’t even halfway through it when I bought and downloaded the 2nd book in the duet as I just had to know how Will and Tori’s story ended.
This book is worth more than the 5 stars I’m allowed to give it!

Spoilsport by Belinda Williams is the second book in the Pierce Brothers series. This can easily be read and enjoyed without having read the first book in the series. I was looking forward to this book after reading the first book where the characters of Nadia and Luke are introduced. Nadia is not interested in relationships and especially not love. She is snarky and wonderful with witty comments. Luke, a recently divorced father, can’t stop himself from thinking of this enticing woman. Will Luke crack through the tough shell Nadia has placed around herself?
I enjoyed this sweet romance and the characters are relatable. I like that there are contrasts in their personalities that create tension between the characters. This series has been fun and enjoyable. A nice getaway from the stresses of life. I look forward to reading more from this author in the near future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Snowflakes and Stockings by Marianne Rice was such a wonderful book! One of my favorite books that I have read this past year! Liberty Johnson is a reporter for a news station and if she can crack the case of who the mystery person is that is behind the “most secretive acts in the history of Maine,” she can look forward to a raise and an even better position with WLTN. As Liberty research and interviews different possible secret santas, she experiences kindness, romance, frustration, and even a bit of romance. In the end, what is more important to a girl: her job with the new promotion or the new love of her life? You must read this book to find out. Can I just say that I picked the book up a day after Halloween and was so surprised at how it read just like a Hallmark Christmas movie! It was the perfect book to read to kick off the holiday season and I must read the other books by Marianne Rice. I am not of a romance genre reader but this book may have just changed my mind!

Snowflakes and Stockings (A Wilton Hills Christmas Book 4) by Marianne Rice – review by Stephanie Driskill

Snowflakes & Stockings (A Wilton Hills Christmas, #4)Snowflakes & Stockings by Marianne Rice
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Snowflakes and Stockings by Marianne Rice was such a wonderful book! One of my favorite books that I have read this past year! Liberty Johnson is a reporter for a news station and if she can crack the case of who the mystery person is that is behind the “most secretive acts in the history of Maine,” she can look forward to a raise and an even better position with WLTN. As Liberty research and interviews different possible secret santas, she experiences kindness, romance, frustration, and even a bit of romance.
