Bossy Biker by Lark Avery review!

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Source: Kindle Unlimited

Synopsis

Famous last words: I don’t need a man!

Little did I know I’d be eating those words as fast as the customers at my diner ate my pie!

I tried my best to tell the bossy biker who swung into my one-stoplight town that the kind of pie he wanted wasn’t on my menu. But he made me an offer I couldn’t refuse—three days, no strings, and all the pie he could eat.

I might have sworn off men, but it’s hard to say no to the beast of a man with the ability to make my panties disappear with a single glance. But the one thing I won’t be serving up is my heart. Been there, done that, have the hideous wedding dress to prove it.

Come Monday, the rough and wild biker will ride out of town and out of my life forever. Unless he can convince me that making room for him in my heart and my small town life is easy as apple pie.

Author’s Note: If you don’t like stories about bikers and jilted brides packed with pie references, go eat a salad. If you do, prepare to have your heart melted and your kindle burst into flames. Proceed at your own risk.

My Thoughts 💭

This was a hot, quick and fun read! Raider’s bike breaks down outside of a small town and he thinks it’s the worst luck ever until he lands his eyes on Blossom and tastes her pie. Raider decided small towns aren’t so bad and Blossom changes her mind about swearing off men. I just loved everything about this book and I definitely recommend it!

Six years
ago, Harold Dalton framed me for theft and sent me to jail to steal my diamond
discovery. He gave his daughter to Jack Clarke in exchange for the excavation
rights. Today, I’m free, and I’m coming for him with a vengeance. Six years of
cruelty make beasts out of men. I’m going to take back what he stole from me,
and more. I’m not interested in his properties or shares. I don’t want his
small change. I want his biggest asset. Beautiful, mentally unstable, Angelina
Dalton-Clarke.

Worth
billions, she’s the wealthiest widow in the country, and also the craziest. Her
self-harming tendencies had Jack declare her incompetent before he put a gun to
his head and blew out his brains. Lina isn’t allowed to touch a cent of her
riches. Her father manages her finances. He has all the signing power. As her
husband, that chore will fall to me. But if she thinks I only want her for her
money, she’s sadly mistaken.

Lust By Ker Dukey review!

Release Blitz: Lust by Ker Dukey

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Source: Kindle Unlimited

My Thoughts 💭

I liked the book and it was a good introduction to the series, it just wasn’t what I was expecting. I’m not sure why I thought “lust” would be more hot? Or sexy? Rhett is dealing with feeling responsible for his brother’s death, his mom leaving and trying to join the Elite. Good girl Chasity comes along and he has a change of heart about the Elite but it’s too late. It was interesting though with lies and deceit that makes me want to continue the series.

As a flight attendant, I meet a lot of famous people. Some I never see again.

I’m a regular girl, and my world is too small for someone like him.
Turned out, I underestimated a footballer’s determination and focus to never give up.
So, I gave in.
He had a dream before me.
Almost lost it because of me.
In my darkest hour when I needed him most, he got his dream.
And I lost a piece of my heart.

Nikolai by Kristin Alexander!

Source: Kindle Unlimited

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Synopsis

High school is hard, but for Hannah Prescott it has become unbearable. She has an overzealous admirer whose advances are moving from challenging to terrifying. In her mind there is only one solution: Nikolai Ivanov. Nikolai, with his tendency towards violence and connections to the Russian mob, is exactly who Hannah needs to keep herself safe. Her idea is to pretend to date so her suitor will be too intimidated to approach her.

Nikolai Ivanov has had no use for relationships, seeing how brutally they can be dispatched through his father’s involvement with the Russian mob. When Hannah approaches him, he is initially dismissive. However, witnessing her distress and fear pulls him at ways he doesn’t want to admit to. He agrees to Hannah’s charade, but is determined to keep it impersonal. At first. Soon, all of his protective instincts are triggered and while he wants to create distance between himself and Hannah, he can’t keep his hands off of her.

Other dangers related to Nikolai’s father create more problems for the pair when Hannah and her younger sister are threatened in attempt to control Nikolai. Nikolai works to keep Hannah and her sister safe while confronting how important Hannah has become to him.

My Thoughts 💭

Hannah has been dealing with a stalker and she’s so tired of it she decides to approach someone in the mob so she goes to Nikolai for help. Nikolai was a jerk at first but the more he heard of her story he agrees to a fake relationship. They both sucked at the fake relationship since their feelings were very real. I enjoyed the story and I’d love to read what’s next for the other characters.
