Lost Bastard (Dark Sparrow Novel Book 1) AUDIO BOOK by India Kells – Review by Deb Robinson

Lost Bastard (Dark Sparrow, #1)Lost Bastard by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WOW WOW WOW!!! This book had me on the brink throughout. This is the first book I have read from this amazing author India Kells. I will certainly be reading more. This book is based on the mob underworld and has so many twists and turns you will not be able to put it down. Lots of lack of sleep with this one. The character building is phenomenal and you get very attached to the main characters as well as sub characters. I loved Deva and her bravery and outspoken attitude. She is a woman that has come into her own after coming back to Chicago. Is there anyone that can be trusted? I got to a point in this book where there would be a happily ever after or would make me cry my eyes out. India Kells, bravo as this was an amazing read.

Motherland (The Tom Grant Series Book 3) by Samantha Adair – Review by Lianne Probert

Motherland: A Tom Grant NovelMotherland: A Tom Grant Novel by Samantha Adair
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Motherland: A Tom Grant Novel is the third book in this series by Samantha Adair.
I would recommend that this book needs to be read after the first two books in the series. There is already so much that has happened, and lots of back story to the characters, that you will be missing out (and possibly a bit confused) if you start at book 3.

As with the other books, I still absolutely love Tom! The far-from-perfect former agent is funny, sexy, smart, and rough around the edges. I think his character, along with that of Isabella, gets better and better throughout the series.
Motherland is another fast-paced read. Honestly, it will have you on the edge of your seat wondering where the author will take you next.
There’s plenty of drama and passion, and it was over far too soon. I can’t wait to read book four.

Forged by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops, book 3) by Amy McKinley – Review by Sarah Devereaux

Forged by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops, #3)Forged by Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great ending to this trilogy! It was an edge-of-the-seat read to try and figure out the conclusion to who leaked important information for the Navy SEALS and to find out Tyler’s story in all of this!
Malina Johansson is an analyst for the Navy Seals and just so happens to work on the team of her high school crush, Tyler.
When a night in Vegas changes their relationship Malina must open herself up to the opportunity of a relationship with Tyler and put her past behind her, that is until it becomes part of her present. When Malina is accused of treason and flees, she runs to the only man who can keep her safe, Tyler and his family’s island.
Together, along with Tyler’s brothers, they figure out who caused the trouble with the Navy SEALs missions and figure out how they can have a lasting relationship together.
I really enjoyed the series and how each book was about one of the brothers and included information not only about their relationship with the woman of their dreams but also about secrets from the past and intertwined the Navy missions as well! I had a difficult time putting these books down and I highly recommend them to anyone who loves suspense novels with a mix of romance! You won’t be disappointed in this series!
Amy McKinley is a new author to me, and I can’t wait to read her next series and get lost once again in her characters and storylines!

Motherland (Tom Grant #3)Motherland by Samantha Adair
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book, it had me hooked from the beginning. It was full of suspense, you really didn’t know what might be coming next.
I haven’t read other books in the series but I highly recommend that you do. This book can technically work as standalone, but I did miss out on a lot of background information and it was assumed that previous books had been read first. I am definitely going back and reading them now!
Tom Grant is an amazing character, he has his flaws, and many layers, he’s grumpy, impatient but his sarcastic responses were brilliant. I absolutely loved the conversations he had with Iz and Martha.
Iz needs to visit the Motherland to reunited her fathers Ashes with her mother. However, she defected from Russia and is wanted by many people. Tom goes with her, but it definitely doesn’t quite go to plan. What starts as a quick in and out visit, turns into a very deadly game, of death, kidnapping, lies, betrayal, heartbreak and new beginnings.
I would highly recommend this book, I really enjoyed reading it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Motherland: A Tom Grant Novel (The Tom Grant Series Book 3) by Samantha Adair, 4 stars.

This book is full of suspense and action. I do admit that I have not read the previous books in the series so it took me a while to understand what was going on. That being said, once did, I could not stop reading. These two people have so much happening to them, they barely get time to take a breath. They don’t know who to trust or what to do next. But they are smart — they figure it out as they go along. The story is well written and makes you feel like you are there.

With a great cast of characters and a story that doesn’t stop with the action and surprises, this is an action book that just keeps giving.

Being Lost (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #1) by Manda Mellett – Review by Shelly Kittell

Being Lost (Satan's Devils MC San Diego #1)Being Lost by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me just say that the models picked for the covers of these books are HOT and fantastic eye-candy. As an older reader, I love these older characters such as Grumbler and Lost, they definitely pull in the ladies. I never knew an MC could be so intriguing to pull me in. Lost is so conflicted due to troubles in the past. When the Pueblo MC chapter asks for help keeping Patsy and Connor safe, Lost gets intertwined and is attracted to Patsy. Patsy is trying to keep Connor safe but is troubled because she misses Beth, her daughter. The two are trying to work on their relationship, the danger, and balancing his work. Can they do it? Again, the author knocks my socks off. Fan for life here

Motherland: A Tom Grant Novel by Samantha Adair is the third book in the Tom Grant series. I just fell in love with novel amd author. While this is the third novel in the series it can be read as a stand-alone.  The adventure that you go on in this novel is mind blowing.  Not only did Adair keep me on the edge of my seat, she kept my mind engaged too. If you like thrilling reads and some near misses, then this novel is for you. Samantha Adair just became one of my favorite authors.

Amy Mckinley

Author Amy Mckinley is one of my favorite authors, she always takes us places we all want to be in such detail. Not all of us get the chance to visit other countries and reading is one of the easiest ways to do that. This is why I like authors that can transport us there without much effort. It is one of the reasons why I love to read, she gives us such a sense of being there and adding great characters along the way just add to our enjoyment.

Grumbler’s Ride (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #2) by Manda Mellett – Review by Shelly Kittell

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Grumbler is an old MC member who thinks he will be a loner for life. No women, no family, no nothing. His biggest attachment is to his bike. Some strange photograph tells Grumbler that he wants to take pictures of his bike for a photo shoot, “pimp his ride.” After a bit of deliberation, Grumbler decides to do this. He meets Mary, mom of a rebellious teen and bonds with her later over issues with the photographer. Grumbler finds that his heart melts around Mary. Some family drama that involves Grumbler and the MC grows exponentially and brings them together as the MC’s worth together to stop the douchebag photographer. Manda Mellett does such a good job of portraying the MC’s as more of a realistic group that SOA. I thoroughly enjoy these books because Ms. Mattett makes the authors feel realistic. You can feel their joy and their pain. This was a very hard plot but I was definitely rooting for the MC.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was my first time reading Samantha Adair and The Tom Grant Series so I knew I was probably going to be doing myself dirty a bit with jumping into a series midway through but I was intrigued and wanted to see what this was all about. I am glad that I did and look forward to seeing what the rest of the series now has in store for me. I really enjoyed the action and adventure that kept me on the edge of my seat while I picked apart the thriller and suspense mystery that was at the base of it all as I read. I was lost at times but I expected that and knew I would be doing it to myself and now know that I have a few new books to go back and enjoy. I also look forward to seeing what else we will be getting in this series in the near future. I really loved how loud the voice of the lead female character was in this novel. I feel like we could use more of these kind of women and just wanted to give a shout out to the author for that one.

Forged by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops Book 3)Forged by Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amy McKinley has done it again! If you ever want to get lost in a book, Amy is the author for you. From the first chapter of Forged by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops Book 3) I was hooked and did not want to put it down. Tyler and Malina are strong and complex characters that you instantly love and feel for. Of all three Deadly Isles Special Ops books, this one tugged at my heart the most. It was equally as packed with thrills and romance as the others. With this series, any of the books can be read alone which is enjoyable. It is definitely worth it to read them all though, you get a better sense of the characters and it builds more of a relationship to them. Either way, you can’t go wrong!

Grumbler’s Ride (Satan’s Devil MC San Diego #2) By Manda Mellett Review by Jules Herbert

Grumbler's Ride (Satan's Devils MC San Diego #2)Grumbler’s Ride by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have said it before and I will say it again to anyone who will listen…Manda Mellett never ever disappoints!! It’s just that simple! Most readers probably see an MC novel and think they know what to expect but I say throw those ideas out right now and read every Satan’s Devils book you can lay your hands on. I am now so fully invested in every single character that I just have to keep reading this series because I have to know where life is taking all these wonderful characters even if my heart gets broken along the way.

Grumbler’s Ride is another fantastic book filled with drama, heart and emotion. Once again the main characters, Grumbler, the Sargent of Arms of the San Diego Chapter of the Satan’s Devils and Mary, a widow and single mum doing the best she can raising a somewhat rebellious teenage daughter, are older characters. I absolutely love that Ms Mellett does not simply focus on the younger members of the MC.

In Grumbler’s Ride we see Grumbler a very set in his ways, I guess you would say, biker who only ever saw his Harley as being the lady love of his life, slowly realise there just might be more to life after all. He comes to the aide of Mary and her daughter after realising they had all be taken advantage of by a photographer and his phoney promises. While looking into the photographer Grumbler soon realises this guy his so much more dangerous then he first thought and he will need his club brothers to help him bring the guy down and to protect Mary and her daughter who are both starting to worm their way into his heart. Along the way Mary is also losing her heart but needs to decide if the MC way of life is for her.

This gorgeous couple bring us some unexpected Story twists that’s for sure! I promise it will keep you captivated from start to finish but most of all the heart of the characters will draw you in! I love my MC family…yes they are mine now…and I can’t wait to read more.

Forged by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops, #3)Forged by Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me start off by saying that I elected to read this series, and specifically this installment in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series, due to the namesakes within. My daughter’s name, believe it or not, is Malina. The fact that this author and I share the name Amy, as well as seeing her name being that of the female lead in this book made it even more tempting. Once I started, I couldn’t stop. Not only was I enthralled by the story line and the depths in which it took me, but I was once again blown out of the water by the character building, the back stories for both Malina, and Tyler, and the involvement of the other two Hale brothers that I had come to love from reading the previous two books. This Author is one to watch, and I wish I had all the time in the world to immerse myself in the adventures of a lifetime that are brought on by Amy McKinley’s magic. I do believe that Forged by Secrets is my favorite book in the series, as the twists and turns keep coming, and kept me on my toes. I was covered in goosebumps from head to toe from the first, to the last page. I highly suggest carving out a weekend for this beauty, and you won’t be disappointed. Keep them coming, please!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a new author to me, and I came across the book in a search and the description pulled me in so I thought I’d give it a go. Best decision ever, this book took me on such a rollercoaster ride of emotions I lost several hours of sleep because I just had to finish.
We start off meeting Tom who seems like your average joe until Isabella comes back from a London trip without letting anyone know. They seem to fit right back together in the relationship they had before she left for London after dealing with the passing of her father. Which is where she made a promise that may just cost her more than she is willing to give.
Isabella and Tom head back to Isabella’s homeland where something isn’t quite right. Mysterious circumstances bring her once childhood friend back into her life, but he is not the same boy she knew before. He makes her go back into a life she was over that she refused to ever do again with the threat of violence against Tom.
Will they both make it out of the motherland alive and unscathed? You just have to read this page turner to find out, but it is worth the read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Manda Mellett never ever disappoints!! It’s just that simple! If you think you know what to expect from a MC novel throw those ideas out right now and read every Satan’s Devils book you can find. You will be fully invested in every single character from start to finish. My heart went on such a rollercoaster ride!

Being Lost is a fantastic book filled with drama, heart and emotion. I loved that the main characters, Lost, the club president of the San Diego Chapter of the Satan’s Devils and Patsy, the mum of an Old Lady from another chapter, were older than you really see in a lot of novels. Finding love in most books is left to the young it seems but not this time and I love that.

Lost is asked to look out for Patsy and her son by the Pres from the Tucson chapter (the mother chapter of the Satan’s Devils) and when her situation takes a dangerous turn Lost takes her protection on and in doing so falls and falls hard, even while fighting his own personal demons and wondering if he is truly worthy. His vulnerability spoke volumes to me as most readers would automatically assume him to be a very strong and maybe hard character simply because he is a club president.

Story twists and turns will keep you captivated but most of all the heart of the characters will draw you in!

This is Samantha Adair’s third book in the Tom Grant series. Motherland is the first book I have read from this author. From page one, I was laughing out loud and reading scenes to my bestie as she wanted to know what was so funny. I love Isabella, her love to her deceased father, and keeping her promise no matter what it costs her. Five days, in and out of Russia, sounds easy enough. Tom refuses to let Isabella go alone. The danger starts as soon as they get to the border. Isabella has a price on her head and her childhood friend is determined to drag her back into her old life, using Tom as leverage. This book kept me on the edge of my seat for the whole ride. I am going to have to go back to book one and catch up on what I missed.

Amy McKinley has a way of combining action, mystery, and romance that is so inviting. Some books can be so predictable, but she gives you the unexpected. My heart skipped a beat at every turn.

I continue to love this story between Krystina and Alex!! Their love for each other makes me melt. This is the 3rd installment of this series and I highly recommend starting from the beginning. Krystina and Alex have moved to the next step of their relationship, but when secrets are discovered will their relationship survive? I continue to love Krystina’s character, she is strong and bold and I love that in a female lead. There is definitely mystery in this book too…. And I was very surprised!!!

Set In Stone (The Stone Series Volume 3) AUDIO BOOK by Dakota Willink – Review by Alexandria Richard

4/5 Stars

The stunning conclusion to the Stone trilogy which had me anxiously listening for what happened next. 

The Stone series comes to a close, with all of the mysteries answered and the bond between Alexander and Krystina tested in numerous ways. 

I loved listening to Krys standing up for herself and her needs, and pushing Alex to talk to her instead of controlling everything in their life. Alex may still be the Dom in the bedroom, but to make the relationship work her needs to give up trying to completely control Krys’ life. We experience the push and pull of love and a long term relationship with the BDSM lifestyle. 

While I understood and appreciated the dramatic aspect that Justine’s storyline brought, I thought she was selfish and caused more turmoil for Alexander and thereby Krys. I don’t think I’ve ever viewed her as a “good sister” to Alex. I did thoroughly enjoy reading more about Allie, Matteo, and Hale, and seeing how their lives were changing in the background to Alex and Krys’ story. 

Wonderful conclusion to the series.

Motherland is the third book in the Tom Grant series by Samantha Adair. This is the first book that I have read by Samantha Adair- so I was curious about what lay in store for me- as I enjoy exploring new books and am always on the lookout for new authors to add to my reading lists. This has a bit of a thriller vibe happening- with dramatic developments, action, adventure, mystery, and more.
I did enjoy the story, and it did read well- but I just can’t help feeling that maybe I was missing something that would have helped me connect with the characters and story more. These characters, Tom and Isabella obviously have had a bit of a complicated past history- and have ‘reunited’ again in this book for this ‘adventure’.
I wish I knew all the details of the past books; I think if I had read the previous 3 books and had all the information they contained, that would have made this reading experience so much better. I will definitely be going back to read the previous books, before continuing on with the series. Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy the story, so don’t let me put you off reading it at all, but I do recommend reading the previous books first to get the most out of it.
Off to one-click the previous books to read.

Thank you, Samantha Adair!

This is my first novel by Samantha Adair, and I am far from disappointed! This is my first time reading a book in the Tom Grant series, and since this is book 3 I am eager to play catch up with the other 2. There was so much depth and detail that really fueled the story.
Isabella and Tom are making a trek to her homeland to bury her father due to a promise she made at his deathbed. In a country she is no longer welcome in she encounters a great deal of complications fulfilling this promise. Together her and Tom experience a journey in the motherland that is filled with a lot of action, suspense, and heartbreak. Each chapter takes us deeper in a conquest of the unknown, and leaves you wondering if her promise can be fulfilled or will her homeland finally take her down.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

From the very first paragraph, Amy McKinley transports the reader into the crumbling political history of Caracas, Venezuela, seen from the eyes of the girl our heroine used to be. Events that will forge her future and leave her with a secret past are just the prelude to this steamy, suspenseful secret ops story.

Building on this foundation into current day Pearl Harbour, the author leads us into a delicious dance between Tyler, Navy Seal and Malina, a Special Ops Analyst.. a tug of war that will eventually run out of rope. Who knew office romances could be so dangerous!

Rich Hawaiian landmarks and locals, are only the start of a wild ride when Malina has to rely on Tyler, her nemesis at work, to clear her of a crime of treason she did not commit.

It’s a fight against more than just evil forces and long buried secrets, and they’ll both need to spill a few hard truths if they’re going to make out in one piece.

Get set for well written sensual scenes and believable adventure in this third installment of Amy McKinley’s Deadly Isles Special Ops series.

This was my first book by Amy McKinley, I enjoyed both her character development and how she wrote the story into both locales. I know I will search out more of her stories! Forged by Secrets

Amy does an amazing job at captivating her audience with a book that is just impossible to stop reading once you start reading. Forged by Secrets is the absolute perfect ending to a trilogy about brothers and the women they have fallen in love with. Tyler is chasing the shot of loving a woman that is too scared to be loved. Malina is scared of her past but when push comes to shove she realizes the one person she can truly count on is the one person she is terrified to rely on because she is unsure she could handle him hurting her too. Truly recommend reading the entire series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book yet again, was another smash hit. I loved the aspect of a “side-character” coming to fruition and being the main character and Grumbler killed the role. Following his story was beautifully written, had good plot twists, and was interesting. Watching Grumbler soften that hard shell and open up was amazing to read.

After a modeling photoshoot (which includes Grumblers bike and Mary’s daughter) introduces Grumbler and Mary, something about her he just can’t get off his mind. He moves on with life only to discover that the pictures have sold, with no compensation to himself. He reaches out and contacts Mary to see if they’ve received compensation only to find out the photographer has completely disappeared and dropped off of the map. Grumbler enlists the help of his fellow MC brothers to find the photographer, but shortly something awful happens to Mary’s daughter as a threat. While Mary and Grumbler are falling for each other behind closed doors a bigger problem is unfolding causing the dispatch of members from other areas. Following along as they weave they’re way through this puzzling and disturbing situations was intriguing and kept me hooked the whole way through! And the ending!!! I won’t spoil it for you, but I need another book!!

Forged by Secrets is book three in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series by Amy McKinley.
You could read this as a standalone, but personally it is best read in order.
I enjoyed reading this story with all its twists and turns. I love how we get to know the characters and how the rest of this story plays out.

All three books flow together nicely and will keep you reading. Tyler & Malina’s story is my favorite of the three. We get flashbacks of Malina’s past and there are secrets that she does not want anyone to know about.
She is an analyst for the Navy SEALS and is accused of treason and is now on the run. She needs help to clear her name and reveal who the real mole is. There is only one person she can turn to.
Tyler, the youngest Hale brothers, and the only brother that is still a Navy SEAL, will do whatever it takes to keep Malina safe and help clear her name.

Amy McKinley did an amazing job pulling me into the story and keeping me there.
If you enjoy reading romantic suspense filled with action and adventure, I highly recommend this book.
