Blurb:

A Biker On A Mission. The Woman He Never Forgot.

A chance meeting at Motorcycles, Mobsters and Mayhem that could only happen in a romance novel.

Andrew “Booker” Thomson has always done what was required of him. His time in the Army taught him the value of following orders and brotherhood. The Bluff Creek Brotherhood MC has offered him a home, but something is missing—if only he knew what. When his MC President offers him nomad status and asks him to check on one of their Originals, whom they haven’t had contact with in a couple of weeks, Booker jumps at the chance. His appearance as a cover model at the Motorcycles, Mobsters and Mayhem book signing will allow him to do both.

Alexandra Sullivan has made a life for herself working with romance authors. Spending the majority of the year on the road in her RV, she loves the nomadic lifestyle. She’s always wanted her own happily ever after, but none of the men she’s met live up to her romance novel heroes or her high school boyfriend. When she’s face-to-face with the boy she had to leave before their junior prom, she wonders if this might be her second chance.

Before Booker can sweep Alexandra off her feet, he and his fellow nomads will need to help her confront the danger wreaking havoc in her and her mom’s life. Lexi and Booker will need a little assistance from the men and women of Bluff Creek Brotherhood MC and Saint’s Outlaws MC if they want to ride off into their own happily ever after.

Booker is a second chance, later in life, cinnamon roll hero, MC romance where family is found and dreams really do come true.

Excerpt:

Andrew “Booker” Thomson thought through all the ways this weekend could go wrong. When War, the president of Bluff Creek Brotherhood MC, had asked Booker if he and his friend could check on one of the MC’s nomads, it had been the perfect excuse for what he needed to do this weekend. War had also offered for Booker and his friend Twist to officially become a part of Bluff Creek as nomads.

Booker had jumped at the chance because he loved Bluff Creek’s original Chapter in Kansas and their other Chapter in Cider Creek, Texas, but there was still something missing. He adored the brotherhood he’d found and the family aspect, but he wasn’t settled. It felt like his life wasn’t complete, but he didn’t believe he’d find what was missing in Bluff Creek. Becoming a nomad would allow him to search for that missing part of him while still having the brotherhood he’d missed after he got out of the Army.

For now, he and Twist would check on Compass. Twist was his best friend, and he couldn’t imagine going nomad without him. They’d served together, which is where Twist had gotten his name. Twist was short for Twister because he was amazing at predicting the weather. Twist loved storm chasing, so going nomad with Booker fit perfectly.

Since Booker booked them into the same hotel where he had the event at, he should be able to sneak away. In a perfect world. He and Twist were checking in late on Friday night. Booker was hoping their check-in was late enough that he’d miss anyone recognizing him in the hallways.

Booker didn’t know why he was hiding it from his club brothers. They readily accepted that he loved reading all novels but especially romance. It was just opening himself up and sharing that he also posed for photos that were used on romance book covers that he hadn’t been able to do yet.

He hadn’t even considered it until he’d contacted an author he liked about loving her books. Then he joined her ARC team, and she’d seen his picture. She’d begged him to model for her. And the rest was history. Once her friends had seen him on her covers, he’d had numerous people wanting photos. He’d traveled to a couple different photographers to have photos done. Now, he had extra income from the photo sales.

He did wish that Dex was with him and Twist. They’d served together before all retiring at the same time. Dex had fallen in love with Bluff Creek in Kansas and was helping with their gun range. It suited Dex, but Booker had felt strange when he and Twist rode away without their friend. Logically, he knew they all wouldn’t be together forever, but it had felt strange. They’d been their version of the three musketeers, but things changed. Twist motioned to Booker to pull over for gas. Booker guessed they were still about twenty minutes from the hotel.

He pulled in and filled up while Twist did the same at another pump.

“Yo, I’m beat. What do you say to us getting takeout then just heading to our rooms? I don’t think I’m up for partying tonight,” Twist said.

“I’m game. I want to wash the road dust off and sleep after filling my stomach. I’ve got that thing tomorrow until we meet Compass for supper. What are your plans?” Booker asked.

“We’re not that far from our Cider Creek Chapter. Since you’re busy, I thought I’d drive out there. Brew offered to give me a tour of their brewery.”

Booker breathed a sigh of relief that he wouldn’t have to worry about Twist seeing him at the signing. Though he shouldn’t relax too soon. Motorcycles, Mobsters and Mayhem was a huge signing with readers and authors who would definitely notice their cuts. He’d hope for the best and plan for the worst. He couldn’t see Twist giving him too much crap about being a cover model. He just really didn’t want the women back at Bluff Creek to know he modeled, or he’d never get any peace. He’d been lucky he hadn’t been found out yet because he’d seen one of the books he was a model for on one of the Franks sisters’ bookshelves.

Broody. Hot. Intoxicating.
 
Nastya Semyonov first met Haze at a bar, but for Haze Hopkins, duty calls before either can act on their desires. He’s gone without a glance back, leaving her thinking that maybe all the hot looks were only one-sided.

Neither one truly thinks before they act, and they spend a hot fifteen minutes in a fast-food restaurant bathroom before parting ways again.
 
It’s as she’s walking back to her car that she realizes how badly she’s screwed up.
 
Because her car is surrounded in police tape, and there’s one very angry man wearing a badge standing in front of it with her name on an arrest warrant for killing a man.
 
Mistakes were made. Repeatedly.
 
But Detective Haze Hopkins isn’t complaining.
 
He was ready to quit, anyway.

Review: Booker - Nat Logan

Booker Booker by Nat Logan
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Booker by Nat Logan is part of the Bluff Creek Brotherhood MC: Nomads series and is the first book in that series. The story features Andrew ‘Booker’ Thomson, a former army member who has always followed the rules, helped others and has become part of a brotherhood. Even though he is part of the MC, he feels like something is missing from his life, when the opportunity comes up to go and check on another brother as well as doing his side job as a romance cover model, he jumps at the chance. At the book signing he meets someone who is familiar to him, Alexandra Sullivan, the one who got away (through no fault of her own). Both a little older and wiser, they know that there are second chances in the world, if only they take them! But to do so, Booker must help Alex and her mum with a problem that has been plaguing them.

This was a fast, sweet read, with a teddy bear MMC and a strong and determined FMC who just belong together, they both get each other and know that they are a bit older and wiser, but ready for more with each other. The MC definitely embraces both of these characters as well as Alex’s mum and highlights the importance of family. A real cinnamon sweet story and a really good read!

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

Review: Hey, Daddy - Lani Lynn Vale

Hey, Daddy Hey, Daddy by Lani Lynn Vale
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Hey Daddy by Lani Lynn Vale is book 2 in the Semyonov Bratva and focuses on the story of Nastya and Haze. Nastya and Haze have a lot of chemistry from the get-go, the only issue is that Haze is a police officer and Nastya comes from a family who blur the lines now and again, outing Haze in a precarious situation. Nastya is a sassy, secret shopper, but when a dead body turns up in her car, it sends her life spiralling out of control and right into Haze’s orbit and sadly the target of a serial killer.

Haze definitely believes in Nastya and is disheartened to see how she is treated when there is no evidence against her. He also goes through his own trials and tribulations with a very vindictive ex-wife, but a beautiful daughter who fits into Haze and Nastya’s relationship seamlessly.

There are some wonderful times between the characters in this book, which is fast paced, steamy and has a little bit of drama to keep you turning the pages. It is a really great addition to this series and will keep you engaged right until the end!

BLURB


There was right, there was wrong, and then there was the in-between.


The place where normal people reside, understanding that there are two sides to every coin. People that do bad things for good reasons. People that do bad things for bad reasons.


First, I knew that Shasha Semyonov was a bad man. One that did bad things for bad reasons. That didn’t mean that I was rational when it came to him.


He was toxic to my health, yet I wanted him anyway.


They say the first step to healing is admitting when you have a problem.


My problem happened to be six feet two inches tall, two hundred and twenty pounds, and bearded to perfection.


Oh, and he was also the scariest guy I knew.


Meanwhile, I was the laughingstock of the city.


The woman who was cheated on by her boyfriend with her best friend, and it was captured live while a band played in the background, perfectly accenting the humiliating video.


There was no way that Shasha Semyonov would notice me.

Right?


Wrong.


I’d definitely been noticed.

Review: Stay Toxic - Lani Lynn Vale

Stay Toxic Stay Toxic by Lani Lynn Vale
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Stay Toxic by Lani Lynn Vale is book one in the new series, Semyonov Bratva. The story focuses on Sasha and Brecken. Sasha is the pakhan of the bratva and although portrayed as someone not to mess with, underneath he is caring, strong, sweet and stubborn, especially when it comes to Brecken and looking after her. When Brecken tries to help a friend, it puts her in the crosshairs of not only her ex-fiancé and a former best friend, but also her friend’s ex-husband who will do anything to find his wife.

I loved how strong Brecken was, how sassy and sweet she was and how she wouldn’t put up with rubbish from anyone, especially after all that she has been through. She has an instant attraction to Sasha and even though she knows that he’s dangerous, there is just something about him that pulls her towards him.

This was a good start to a new series with lots of drama and a touch of spice added into the mix. I can’t wait to see what else this series has to offer.

Review: Afterworld: Road to Redemption - Olivia Boothe

Afterworld: Road to Redemption Afterworld: Road to Redemption by Olivia Boothe
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐ Stars

Afterworld by Olivia Boothe is a Dystopian genre book set into the future as a deadly virus wipes out the majority of the world and those who are left have to defend themselves against the Damned, a kind of apocalyptic zombie. Add into that the Four Horsemen who are scouring for survivors and basically, you’re screwed. Enter Kate, a woman who is just trying to survive who one days gets herself into a bit of a mess and is rescued by Jax, a mysterious man who has secrets, but who is trying to seek redemption for the things he has done in the past. The two of them definitely save each other and the chemistry between the two is pretty hot.

This book had a lot of elements to it, a lot of biblical scenes ( a little bit more than was to my liking), some zombies, some folklore and a lot of questions being asked on why angels didn’t help sooner (a good point that Kate makes throughout the book).

As a first book in a series, it was a good started and I’m sure the other books in the series will take us down the rabbit-hole of what is going on, what is going to happen and how Jax and Kate are going to save the world. This is certainly the book for you if you like zombies and some good characters to introduce you to a new world.
