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!

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-fiancรฉ 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.
