Holly Lorena Cain, formerly known as Georgina Lorena Cain, was well acquainted with rock bottom. She’s coasted along its rocky shores for years. It all started when her mother left her when she was barely old enough to understand. For years, her and her dad struggled to make ends meet. A dying cattle farm can’t run itself, and with her dad having cancer, it got harder and harder to hang on to land that’s been in her family for generations.

Just as she thinks that she’s finally made it, her father passes away and leaves every single thing he owns to their neighbor. The man that’d been worming his way into her father’s good graces while she’d been away pursuing higher education.

But she can’t be mad.

Being mad would mean that she has a soul left, but she sold that a long time ago to pay for college.

Once she comes to terms with her father and the land being gone, she moves back to Bear Pass and with one thing on her mind—avoid Denver at all costs. He can never know just how much it hurt that he stole her life away from her.

Only, he makes it impossibly hard to stay away.

He’s there around every corner. He offers her a place to stay. Makes sure she has a place to work. Fixes her car. Saves her from a kidnapper. Oh, and gives her everything her heart desires.

She stays away as best as she can, but she doesn’t stand a chance against Denver’s determination and charm. He’s there when no one else is, peeling her off the floor and propping her back up again each time she falls.

The gruff motorcycle club president with his scary glares and harsh work ethic has decided to make her his, and he won’t stand for her refusal.

He’s been protecting her for her entire life, and she doesn’t even know it.

He won’t stop now, even if she’s bound and determined to stay away.

Review: Redemption Road - Katie Ashley

Redemption Road by Katie Ashley
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐stars          

                                                                                                                  Redemption Road by Katie Ashley is book 2 in the Vicious Cycle series and focuses on the characters Rev and Isabelle. Isabelle is thrown into a dangerous situation which sees her getting trafficked. Enter Rev, a member of the Hell Raiders MC, who stumbles across Isabelle trying to find one of his brothers daughter. Thrown together in complex and dangerous circumstances, Rev becomes Isabelle’s saviour, but he to harbours his own demons. Together they make a formidable team of vulnerability and strength as they both try and heal over the horrors that have happened to them, whilst trying to survive the man that is wanting Isabelle back. 

This story had a lot of feels and you are thrown into the action straight away. Isabelle is hurt, angry and everything in-between after she has endured the worst that humanity could throw at you. She isn't exactly trusting of Rev to begin with, but as they open up more to each other you see the attraction become something more.  

This book is a slow burn as the characters get to know each other and deal with their trauma as well as the dangers that are lurking around the corner. It also has a lot of emotions throughout the book and some triggers, so be warned. This is a gritty read so be warned before going into it. But in saying that, it was a good book in a series and does leave you wanting to read more about other characters in the MC.   

ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊

Review: The Long Game - Rachel Reid

The Long Game by Rachel Reid
My rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 stars                                                                                                                                                                                                                              The Long Game by Rachel Reid is book 6 of the Game Changers series and this is the second book to feature Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov and the progression of their relationship. Having been together for over 10 years, it seems that their relationship is still top secret, especially more so from Shane’s end, who seems to be struggling with coming out and what that would mean for his NHL career. On the other side we have Ilya who is equally scared by ready to announce to the world that he loves Shane but is also battling his own demons. 

We’re thrown into the thick of the story as we see through both characters eyes what they say to each other and what isn't being said which often leads to conflict between the two. You really see the struggle that Ilya is going through at times and how vulnerable he becomes (compared to when he pops up in other stories).  

The spicy scenes between the two are still equally hot and interspersed throughout the story, but there is also the added bonus of the love shared between the two characters which gives this book a chef’s kiss from me. We are definitely immersed in the struggle to come out, either when you’re not ready, you're scared or you don't know how it is going to affect your future. There are some hard moments to read in this book due to the topic of sexuality and coming out which will resonate with anyone who has ever had to do it, but the author (I think), has done it in a really good, emotional way which pulls on your heartstrings.  

Although I do love Shane (because who doesn't love his OCD tendencies), I do have to say that I have a soft spot for Ilya, especially in this book where we see more of a soft side to him rather than always being the dominating Captain. 

Overall, if you like hockey, some very steamy scenes and some great characters, then this is going to be a great addition to your e-reader of choice! Now, onto the next one!

Review: Forget That Guy - Lani Lynn Vale

Forget That Guy by Lani Lynn Vale
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Forget That Guy by Lani Lynn Vale is book 5 in the Don’t Date Him Series and focuses on the characters Denver and Holly. Holly is struggling to make ends meet, especially after the death of her father and the reading of his will which has left her with nothing, or so she thinks. Throw in a mother who treats her like rubbish and not very much going her way. When circumstances means that she ends up sharing space with Denver and his girls, she starts to see a side of him that she hasn't before and there might be more to her losing everything than she thinks.

Denver is one of those rugged, handsome family men who just get the job done. Looking after his two young daughters and working on the farm from sunup to sundown, he doesn't have much down time himself. Throw into the mix Holly, what her father left him and a crazy ex-wife and life for Denver is just complicated.

The chemistry between the two characters is great in this book. It starts with a slow burn until it becomes a simmer to a white-hot flame.

Like all of the books in this series, this one is an easy read with some really good characters and a good storyline which develops more as the characters relationship develops. You don’t necessarily have to have read previous books in the series to understand what's happening in this one, but it is always good fun if you do.

ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own.

New Release: Transition - Nicole Dykes

 Title: Transition

My favorite principle in landscaping and in transition. In life? Not so much.

I can’t stand change when it comes to my life. I was married to the same woman since I was in my early twenties and now I’m just supposed to move on from being married to being single. Sharing custody of our daughter.

Transition works for landscaping. It’s the easiest thing for me. Making sure there’s a natural flow in everything we do.

But that works because it’s gradual.

This feels so abrupt, it’s jarring. I don’t know how to make this change.

I’m not sure that I want to.

Dakota

I like my routine. I love being in my house, working from home and I realize that most think I’m weird.I couldn’t really care less what other people think.

But when I hire Oakley’s Crew to build a new greenhouse, I feel things starting to shift. Like it’s possible that maybe the way I’ve been living my life for the last three years isn’t as satisfying as I’d like to think.

Maybe it is time for a change.

Maybe it will be worth it for…him.
