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!

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.

Adam Cooper is taking a break from relationships. After a failed engagement because of his fiancee’s secrets and lies, he’s put all of his heart into establishing his law practice. The downside? Settling cases out of court has left him discontent and craving a good fight. One he can only find in the courtroom. The one place he can be ruthless and uncaring, which is exactly what he needs. And then he meets Holly…

Holly Munroe has been on her own since she was fifteen. With a past she’s trying to forget and a future she’s uncertain of, the last thing she needs is any attachments. But when she’s taken in by a woman with a big heart, the once orphan’s defenses quickly crumble. And then she meets her landlord’s son, Adam…

For a woman who equates love with disaster, getting involved with Adam is the last thing on Holly’s to do list. Her goals are to find a new job and keep up appearances so she can gain guardianship of her teenaged brother. But with Adam she finds the one thing she’s always been missing; people rooting for her.

Nikolai by Kristin Alexander!

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.

Silence By N. Isabelle Blanco!

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Synopsis

When my brother, the King, married fifteen-years ago, I welcomed his new family as my own. His wife . . . her baby girl.

My niece by marriage.

I left to war the savages. For years I traveled back and forth, seeing that child age.

But then the last battle kept me away for five years . . .

I’ve returned now to take my rightful place: second-in-command to the throne.

I am everything this kingdom stands for—everything it needs. The kind of pillar not even my brother can aspire to being.

They all look up to me. To maintaining their code.

Yet, they do not know the truth.

In the grip of the shadows, she haunts me at night.

During the day, she smiles and whispers, showing me traces of that sweet little girl.

At night, she’s there, a vision in black. Watching, stalking . . . no words need to be said.

She knows.

I’m losing the battle. This thing between us is an evil spark.

Thousands of years of honor are threatened—about to be shredded by the impossibility of our desire.

She doesn’t care.

It’s in her silence that she kills me . . . and she wields it like a blade.

The savage call of her blood is more than I can handle . . .

And the need to own her body might destroy us both.

Warning: contains themes that aren’t for everyone. Please read at your own caution. 18+.

My Thoughts 💭

Wow! I really enjoyed this book. Obsidian returns home from war to find out his step-niece is all grown up. Obsidian and Calamity are obsessed with each other! Calamity is tired of Obsidian trying to do what he thinks is right and wants him to claim what’s his before someone else does. Obsidian is at war with himself and Calamity’s behavior and his dreams are making him even more crazed and determined to find out the secrets being kept from him. This was a interesting forbidden paranormal romance. While I did really enjoy the book it seemed like when Obsidian finally lost all control it was over. I would have liked to find out what happened when his brother found out.

Animal by Delilah Devlin Review!

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Synopsis

MONTANA BOUNTY HUNTERS: Authentic Men… Real Adventures…

A rough-around-the-edges bounty hunter takes a nature photographer on a wild ride.

Former SEAL, Russell “Animal” Hathcoat, retreated to a remote mountain cabin after leaving the Navy. Haunted by horrific images that replay in his nightmares of his last mission with his SEAL brothers, he intends to renovate the dilapidated cabin as penance and therapy, and to avoid rejoining the world around him. But then, someone who understands what he needs better than he does arrives to offer him a job.

Allie Travers loves the freedom and solitude of being a nature photographer and journalist–until the day she stares through her lens at a charging black bear. With her heart in her throat, she can only stand watching in horror, knowing she’ll never escape in time. But rescue comes in the form of a wild man who risks his life to frighten away the animal.

Once the danger is past, she’s told by his team of bounty hunters that she has more to fear than any animal in the woods. A felon is on the loose, and she has to accompany them to safety. Seeing an opportunity, Allie shadows the team as they hunt their prey deep in a national forest. Much to Animal’s dismay, more than just his protective instincts are aroused by the pretty photojournalist.

My Thoughts 💭

This was a nice entertaining book. I love the bounty hunter storyline. I also like how the team gets the women involved in some way. Animal is the recent addition to the team and while on a hunt he saves Allie from a bear. Allie is a little spitfire. When they can’t convince her to leave she ends up tagging along with them and things begin to heat up between Allie and Animal. I thought the book was interesting and a nice read.

SYNOPSIS

Lucia Marcello is the good girl—or she used to be. The youngest mafia principessa of her family, she’s not the one who falls for the man from the wrong side of the tracks, and she certainly shouldn’t have run across the country with him.

She’ll leave everything behind for him …

Renzo Zulla is the bad guy—society and life labeled him that way. The only person left to take care of his siblings, he couldn’t afford the distraction of falling in love with a rich girl far beyond his league, and he definitely shouldn’t have her riding shotgun as he runs for his life.

He doesn’t want her anywhere else …

Love keeps them together.
Fear keeps them running.
Chaos follows them everywhere they go.

How long can they keep moving before someone finally catches up?

The cost of love is always high.
Never harbor it blindly.

Note: Harbor is book two in a three-book trilogy following the same couple.

My Thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lucia and Renzo’s story continues! They’re on the run and trying to find somewhere to settle but run into big problems! This book was filled with action, suspense, love and heartbreak! Lucia and Renzo just want to be together and her family didn’t care. Her dad still felt like he was right about Renzo but he’s finally proven wrong it’s at the cost of his daughter hating them! I am loving Lucia and Renzo’s story and I cant wait to read the next book! I definitely recommend this trilogy!

SYNOPSIS

They didn’t come from the same world …

Born rich to a family of mafia royalty, Lucia Marcello was already destined to succeed. She wanted for absolutely nothing, until she met him.

Born poor to parents who never cared, Renzo Zulla was already destined to fail. He has struggled for absolutely everything, but she’ll prove to be his biggest fight yet.

She’s high society from the upscale suburbs.
He’s a drug dealer from New York’s slums.

They just weren’t meant to be … until they were.

What would it take to change a life—an entire perspective? All the things you thought you knew and wanted?

For them, it took thirty-six days.
And the privilege of meeting each other.

They shouldn’t be.
They don’t fit.
Love doesn’t care.

Note: Privilege is book one in a three-book trilogy following the same couple.
