Brothers In Blue: Max by Jeanne St. James review!

Synopsis

Meet the men of Manning Grove, three small-town cops and brothers, who meet the women who will change the rest of their lives. This is Max’s story…

Big city party-girl Amanda Barber has been spoiled most of her life. But life for Amanda suddenly becomes a major challenge: adapting to small-town life, dealing with her special needs brother, and constantly butting heads with a frustrating local cop.

As a police officer and former Marine, “responsibility” is Max Bryson’s middle name. Never having been in a serious relationship, he has no plans for one in the near future. He likes being his own man. And even if he were interested in a serious relationship, he certainly wouldn’t choose someone so immature and irresponsible as Amanda. But no matter how hard he tries, he can’t get sexy Amanda out of his head or his heart. Watching her mature in front of his eyes, his protectiveness towards her only strengthens.

Bossy and possessive aren’t the only words Amanda uses to describe this frustrating cop. She can’t deny just looking at the man makes her tremble. But she’s done with having anyone control her and this man isn’t going to be any different. Or is he?

Note: This is a full-length novel and can be read as a standalone. No cliffhangers and it has an HEA.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I enjoyed reading this book but both Max and Amanda were indecisive 😂 Max didn’t want to do anything that would lead his mom to talk about him getting married and Amanda didn’t know if she wanted to go back to her old life or not. Sometimes I felt like Max was too harsh on Amanda about stuff. She was doing the best she could with having no experience caring for another person! Max was always there to help but if she was doing something he didn’t agree with he’d say something stupid and have to apologize😂. I liked the storyline and I’m interested in reading Marc’s story next!

They say one action doesn’t define you.

I killed a man. Stabbed him in the neck and licked the blood off my lips after I did it.

Still, one action doesn’t define you.

I could have called anyone. My father, the Prez of The Fallen MC, our family lawyer, my best friend, Lila, or my brother, King.

I didn’t.

Instead, I called Lionel Danner, the police officer renowned for taking down the Nightstalkers MC. The man who had been my father’s arch nemesis for decades. The man who hated everything I stood for. A man who had disappeared from my life without explanation three years ago.

I called him.

And maybe one action doesn’t define you, but killing a bad man and calling in the good changed my life and it sure as hell changed his.

The third book in the Fallen Men Series. A standalone featuring Harleigh Rose and Officer Lionel Danner.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I enjoyed the book but I was ready for the sexual tension between Reese and Ryder to end! I was ready for them to hash everything out long before they did lol! Ryder was kind of being a brat most of the time but I liked him by the end of the book and Reese was a kicka** sweetheart. This was a cute second chance romance!

Even as a kid, I knew the kind of hell the world could dish out. I grew to expect the worst and learned to face it head on. When I became Satan’s Fury’s new enforcer, I knew I could handle whatever came my way—until Alex Carpenter, the gorgeous book store owner who brought color into my world of gray.

The club was at war, fighting an unknown enemy, and she was a distraction I didn’t need nor want. My focus should’ve been on my brothers and our latest adversary, but I felt an unexplainable pull towards her. Her beauty and innocence captivated me, and just being near her made the shadows of my past seem less daunting. Without even realizing it, I let her in, but as we grew closer, I quickly realized that her walls were even more guarded than my own.

Like me, Alex had a past filled with secrets. Could our broken souls find a way to mend together, or would we remain imprisoned by our past?

Ain’t Doin’ It by Lani Lynn Vale Review!

Synopsis

Coke Solomon has lived a full life.

He’s a retired army drill sergeant, so he is more than used to getting his way.

And if he can’t have it his way? Well, let’s just say that’s never happened before…

At least not until Cora Maldonado walks into his life, demanding he fall in line, or she’ll find a way to make his life hell.

He finds out fast that Cora marches to the beat of her own drum, and a lot of times that drum takes her farther away rather than closer to where he feels she needs to be.

He can’t stand it.

He wants her, and he has to have her.

It doesn’t matter that she’s twenty years younger than him, and has a father that would rather see him dead than have his baby girl anywhere near him. Nor does it matter that his ex-wife is highly offended that she’s been replaced with a much younger woman.

Despite the odds stacking against them, he’ll fight for what he wants.

His ex-wife, her father, and their age difference be damned.

My thoughts 💭

I am still loving this series! This is an older man/ younger woman romance so if you’re not into it don’t read but if you don’t mind I definitely recommend this one! I loved Cora and Coke!! Coke has issues with his crazy ex and Cora has anxiety and mood swings(cyclothymia). When Cora told Coke her disorder and he just rolled with it I loved him even more!! Cora is very loveable mood swings and all. There are appearances from past couples who I absolutely love! And Cora’s family is bada** I seriously love them. This book was a great addition to the series and I can’t wait to read the next one!

•Blog Tour• Rebel Heart by LK Farlow!

Title: Rebel Heart

Author: LK Farlow

Genre: New Adult/RomCom Standalone

Release Date: July 26, 2018

She wants to see him get wild and he thinks she needs Jesus.

When AJ Adams is coerced into tutoring Brock Larson, she can’t help but wonder what she’s done to deserve such an epic punishment. He’s the very definition of an All-American good boy—and a total kiss ass. He’s the perfect son, the perfect student, and according to rumor, by far the best golfer the university has ever seen. Puh-lease. If he’s so perfect, why does he need tutoring?

With his British Literature grade circling the drain, Brock knows he needs help. But when he meets his tutor, he can’t believe his friggin’ luck. Abby Jane no longer resembles the childhood best friend he used to play hide and seek with. No, she’s all attitude and pink hair and tattoos. Oh, and she hates him, so that’s a plus.

Brock and AJ couldn’t clash more and antagonizing one another is just too easy. But, as they spend more time together, the lines begin to blur, leading them to realize they have more in common than what meets the eye.

Hate. Lust. Love. They all look the same when you’re in denial, and everyone knows you can’t control your rebel heart.

Genre Contemporary Romance

Sixty days of total submission.
No safe words. No limits. No holds barred.
Sixty days of your body being used and abused and pushed to extremes.
Then you were free to go, no further dues, thanks and goodbye.
And your bank balance looked seriously healthy for the experience. I should never have been tempted. Not for a second.
I should never have even thought about putting myself up for sale for sixty days, not after hearing the brutal tales of what happens to you.
But I had to.
My sister desperately needed the money. Needed Me. Needed more than I could ever give her.I’d just never have guessed in a million years that soon enough I’d be needing him.
The beautiful stranger.
The dangerous monster.
The guy who’d be responsible for my pleasure and pain and everything between for sixty days straight.
And the man who’d want my very soul along with my body. No holds barred doesn’t even come close to his requirements.
But I’m willing to give him everything. First full-length novel in a trilogy.

Wow! I need the next book ASAP! This book was absolutely captivating! I can’t wait to read what Brandon has in mind for Paige! Their chemistry was crazy and I can’t wait to read more of their story!

Jade has increasingly little to say about herself as time goes on, other than the fact she is an author, but she’s plenty happy with this. Living in imaginary realities and having a legitimate excuse for it is really all she’s ever wanted. Jade is as dirty as you’d expect from her novels, and talking smut makes her smile. She lives in the Powys countryside with a couple of hounds. She has a zebra print living room, and fights a constant battle with her addiction to Coca-Cola.

Saint Or Sinner by Cynthia Eden Review!

Synopsis

Beware of Beauty…because she’s got the heart of a real beast.

Smart people—and monsters who know the score—fear Josephine Saint. The sexy vampire might appear to be a sensual temptation, but she’s a cold-blooded assassin. Mercy? Jo doesn’t know the meaning of the word. With each successful hunt, Jo slides one step closer to getting the promised prize that she’s coveted—her freedom. Long ago, Josephine made a deal with the devil, and now, the jerk is collecting on the final payment due him.

Find the angel…before he rips the world apart.

Her latest target is Malik, an angel who has gone dark. The fool fell and crashed hard to earth, and now he’s indulging in every sin he can find. And, bonus, the guy has every predator in the land closing in on him because angel wings are highly prized on the black magic market. It’s Jo’s job to find Malik and bring his sexy angel ass back upstairs except…

The angel is already changing…into something new and something very, very deadly.

Malik has his own mission, and it doesn’t involve being dragged back to heaven. He’s ready to lose his wings, ready to pay any price, if it means he can right a wrong from his past. He never expected for Jo to hunt him, and he knows that he won’t be able to control himself when she’s near. Because Jo—fierce vampire, deadly assassin—she’s his charge. He’s been watching over her for centuries. Watching her, and wanting her. Now that he’s earthbound, Malik can finally make the vamp his.

Can a vamp save the world? Maybe…if she can claim a fallen angel’s heart.

With every moment that Malik spends on earth, the darkness within him grows. When angels fall, they change. They become something new—and a firestorm is about to erupt from Malik. When the fire erupts, it will destroy everything and everyone in its path…His only link to sanity is Jo, and if he loses her…Malik may lose his very soul.

The hellfire is coming, and it will rage. SAINT OR SINNER…what will you be?

Malik…a fallen angel with an obsession

Josephine…a vampire and unwilling assassin for Luke

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Luke strikes again he always has his hand in something no matter if he’s in charge of light or dark! He’s the best matchmaker ever😂 I loved this book and this series! I loved Malik and Josephine! This book is wonderfully written and kept me laughing and intrigued until the very end!

Etienne by V.A. Dold review!

Etienne finally gets his story and it was so worth the wait! The chemistry between Etienne and Willa was so HOT I thought they’d combust!

Identical twin brothers, Etienne and Ivan Delacour, both want Willa Witt.

One wants to love her and treat her like a queen. The other wants her dead.

Which vampire will be Willa’s ultimate fate?

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a good vampire romance! The story line kept me interested. Etienne and Willa were a cute couple and had great chemistry. I liked Willa in the beginning but she didn’t take anything seriously and it got annoying after a while. You’re in danger and are told so repeatedly and you think it’s ok to go off by yourself? I was done with her by this point like bad vamps come get her since she wants to be kidnapped so bad 😂. Etienne was a sweetheart even though I thought he could’ve been more firm with Willa about her being in danger.
