“This book was heartbreaking at times but sure kept me on the edge of my seat. I have loved this series and can’t wait for more..” ~Doris

“...the story is raw and painful to read at times. D.M. is going to break your heart, give you little tiny hopes and have you begging for Nicholas to make it out of this situation so he can fight for the things he deserves.” ~Pam

Feared by most, except his brothers in the club who think they know him, Nicholas “Chains” Bruno has many secrets hidden so deep he is tormented by them. Isolating himself, the solitude and loneliness is weighing him down and Chains doesn’t see a way out of this hell. As the Grimm Wolves MC Enforcer, he needs to keep up the persona that has taken years to cultivate. But deep down in his soul there is only one, no two, things he craves day in and day out and feels he can’t have: the two people who love and accept him for who he truly is. Chains continues to try to fight to mesh his two worlds together, giving in to his ultimate dream—only to push it away when they get too close—hurting the ones who love him the most. He knows once the MC world discovers he is not what he appears, the only thing that has been a constant in his life for years will be in ruins and he’ll lose his brothers, the club, and end up truly alone.

Adding to his torment, an unexpected enemy decides to make a move when the Grimm Wolves MC least expects it. The end result devastates the club because Chains is snatched, and his brothers don’t have a clue who has him or why. Trying to ride on the right side of the law, the club still has many allies on that other side who they reach out to for help. However, that one secret Chains has kept close to his heart is slowly being revealed as mystery items are being delivered to different MC clubs. With his brothers curious and the club fighting to find Chains, two people step up knowing that now is the time to share Chains’ double life with the club. Once they come out to the Grimm Wolves, Chains’ story takes a different path that no one saw coming.

Will the club be able to find Chains? Can he hold on and survive the constant abuse at the hands of unknowns who enjoy making him suffer? Worst of it all, Chains has no idea who they are or what they truly want. As he remembers all the wasted years, and the few and far between moments of true happiness when he let his walls down and just followed his heart, all he can do at this moment is continue to fight to get back to the two who mean the most to him and something he hasn’t done in forever. Pray.

What Happened to the Bennetts by Lisa Scottoline @penguinrandom @LisaScottoline #Review

 

Buy on Amazon 

Every time I get the chance to read a tried and true favorite author, I get nervous. I always think about the fact that the book may not be good. Not the case with this book or author luckily! I really hate when they turn out to be duds.

This book tells the tale of the all American Bennett family. The first chapters are so frightening. The Bennet family is just driving home from a game in their new Mercedes. As you are reading the first chapter you begin to get the buildup of something huge. Was it drama, fear or horror? All three. What happened to the Bennet family seemed to be a car jacking, but it was not. The details are given out over the next few chapters. 

We learn a lot about the career of Jason, who is a court reporter for many years. We learn about Lucinda, who has a photography business of her own. The guessing for who, what, when and WHY will have you turning the pages fast.

About halfway. there are a few big bombshells that are dropped. In the middle of that you deal with the mental reprisal of the car jacking murder of Allison. Ethan, their son who is 13, deals with his own issues. Reading about his depression is so sad. His parents don't deal with what is happening too good as a unit, so Ethan is allowed to be in his funk.

So there are several twists and turns that the author throws in so you can't possibly guess the plot. It was a well put together novel by a master author. She adds the police procedures, working with the FBI and politics into the last half of the book. The FBI agents, well they are something else. I can't go into much about them or what I liked about the character development because of the plot.

Very well written. Special thanks to Penguin Random House and Netgalley

The Golden Couple by Sarah Pekkanen and Greer Hendricks @sarahpekkanen @greerkh @StMartinsPress #review

Buy on Amazon

The main characts are a wealthy, yet not uptight couple-Marissa and Matthew Bishop At first they seem to be fairly perfect and have it all until…..Marissa is unfaithful. In the beginning it seems the best move to make is to seek therapy with Avery Chambers. Very unconventional therapy. OK at this point I am all in. 

When they meet and Marissa drops the bomb about why they are in therapy, prepare to hunker down and read like a woman or man obsessed. Poor Matthew doesn't even have a chance. He is blindsided by this admission of guilt. He didn't even know what the meeting was about. Not even the tiniest clue of who they were seeing. Buckle up now.

Both of these authors are phenomenal, in my opinion, at speed of story. They know exactly how to give you the drama in perfect equal measurements. The first big one, like I said was the affair. Bam that hits you hard. Follow this news with the unorthodox ways of the therapist. I wonder what Avery charged the Bishops. She is in every aspect of their life. Whenever you think someone may be watching, being followed? Yeah she is there. It was sick! 

I also really enjoyed the descriptions, scenery, neighborhoods thrown in to show they care enough about details. As with their other works, this is not overly wordy, everything is just right.

The best part was the FDA and several conspiracy theories are thrown at me. We are taken on the history of Avery, which is unreal.

Bringing this masterpiece book to a conclusion worthy of 5 * in a way that this duo can. I totally say read it now. Don't take your time, just read, let it soak in and then it will stick with you for a while.

When I hired a husband-and-wife consulting firm to help get my family’s resort back on its feet, I never thought I’d catch the handsome husband being a little too receptive to one of my employee’s advances. But when Blake confesses his high-profile marriage is a sham, and asks me to keep his secret in exchange for deeply discounted services, I know I’d be a fool to say no. Our resort needs major work, and I’m scraping the bottom of the credit accounts to make it happen.

But keeping Blake’s secret isn’t as easy I thought it would be. The more time we spend together, the harder it is to deny my growing feelings for him. I promised myself I’d never get entangled in a messy situation again. But the deeper I get, the more complicit I become, and if Blake’s business goes under, my heart—and family business—could too.

Level With Me is a standalone enemies to lovers steamy contemporary romance set at the Rolling Hills Resort in Quince Valley, Vermont.

Title: Mad Man

Author: Onley James

Genre: Dark MM Romance

Release Date: March 31st

About Mad Man:

Avi Mulvaney is many things. Son. Twin. Owner of the fashion label, Gemini. Murderous psychopath. Together, he and his brother, Asa, make one brutally efficient monster, ridding the world of predators who victimize the innocent. History proves Avi and Asa don’t do well apart, but their father has decided to test that theory. Felix Navarro knows exactly who he is. Baby brother. Fashionista. Vigilante. While he’s not happy that his big brother married a Mulvaney, the union has its perks. Like a paid internship with Gemini. But all good things come with a cost and, for Felix, that’s enduring Avi Mulvaney each day, which inevitably leads to thinking about him every night. Felix doesn’t like Avi. He’s cocky, condescending, overbearing, and inappropriate. He’s also sexy, brilliant, and twice as lethal as Felix. Still, Felix loathes him. Even if he keeps letting him kiss him. And touch him. Even if he slipped just once. It was still hate sex, and it would never happen again. Ever. Except, Avi’s being sent to help take down a dangerous crime ring and he’s ordered Felix to come along. Felix has vowed to stay strong. To remember he hates Avi. But they’re trapped together and there’s only one bed, and it’s so hard to hate Avi in the dark when he’s whispering how Felix belongs to him. Felix belongs to no man, but Avi is determined. He has one week to prove to Felix that he’s the exception to his rule. After all, who says no to a Mulvaney? Mad Man is a scorchingly hot, intense, enemies to lovers, psychopath romance with an HEA and no cliffhangers. It features a dirty talking, brutally vicious killer and a sharp tongued murderous fashionista who are both too stubborn for their own good. As always, there’s gratuitous violence, very dark humor, enough blood to film the final scene in the movie Carrie, and enough heat to melt your panties. This is book five in the Necessary Evils series. Each book follows a different couple.

Sidney is at her wit’s end, ready to risk the friendship and job she adores for a chance at forever love with the man she can’t live without. Like any good marine, she comes up with a mission. Enter Operation Get My Guy.   Gunner loves his life. He has a family he adores, a brotherhood that always has his back, and a host of willing women to warm his bed. As the owner of Wicked Animal Rescue, he saves lives and works with his best friend, Sid, the coolest woman on the planet.

Exclusive Excerpt:

SIDNEY CARVER HAD a big problem. She sat at the kitchen table in her underwear and T-shirt early Sunday morning, pondering her situation. It wasn’t like she’d planned on falling in love with her best friend, who also happened to be her roommate and her boss for the last three years. She swirled a waffle finger in the pool of chocolate syrup on her plate, staring absently, as if a solution might magically appear there. If only… Short of leaving Cape Cod and the dog rescue she adored, her father and friends, and the only man she’d ever loved, she saw no reasonable way out of the situation. It was too bad holding a gun to his head and forcing him to love her back would land her in jail, because that sounded easier than walking away. She had been attracted to Gunner since they’d first met, but her feelings had deepened over the years, and lately those feelings had gotten too big to deny. This was one of the few times in her life that she wished she had a mother to talk to. She’d been raised by an amazing father who had been only twenty when she was born, and he had taught her all about life, loyalty, and bravery. She could face a battlefield head-on, shoot a gun with expert precision, train dogs to save people’s lives, and nurture them back to health when they were injured. But winning her bestie’s heart was foreign territory, and she’d never been schooled in flirting or using her feminine wiles. She was more of a love me as I am or leave me girl, and she knew Gunner loved her as a friend just as she was, but way deep down, she also knew they could be so much more if he’d only let himself see her in that light. She heard a door open upstairs and froze, her pulse quickening as said problem’s heavy footsteps sounded above her, followed by the scampering of his rescue dogs, Granger, Belleau, and Opha Mae. The farmhouse stairs creaked beneath his weight, reminding her of the woman Sidney had heard leaving his room around two in the morning and causing a resurgence of the jealousy that had been driving her nuts lately. She needed to either figure out how to win him over without risking their friendship or get over him altogether, because watching a trail of women do the walk of shame from his bedroom wasn’t on her to-do list. Why did she have to fall for a player?
