Growing up around the Hawks Motorcycle Club, Maya and Texas have been in each other’s lives seemingly forever. Maya’s crush on her brother’s best friend has lasted almost as long.

Older and somewhat wiser, she knows the man who’s always had her heart will never see her as anything other than his friend’s sister. But try as she might, she can’t escape him. Everywhere she goes, Texas is there, and now it seems like his eyes are always on her.

What in the hell is she meant to do with this version of Texas?!

Recovering from an injury and feeling nothing but Maya’s calming presence, Texas finally sees the possibilities right in front of him. There’s nothing like a punch in the gut when his eyes are pried wide open. 

Now he’s on a mission to prove to Maya his playboy ways are over and that he can be the man she needs and deserves. Life is too short not to take what really matters, and to him, that’s Maya. 

Note: This is book three in the stand-alone Hawks MC: Next Generation series. Like a lot of Lila’s MC books, you’ll discover romance and heat wrapped up in the love of a MC family.

New Release: The Perfects - Rachel Van Dyken

                                                              

Everything was perfect.

Until it wasn't.

The Perfects by Rachel Van Dyken is now live! 

Find out what happens when their perfect image breaks in #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken's steamy new adult romance.


Everything was perfect.
Until it wasn't.

Until my family took on a foster girl and placed her across the hall from me. A charity case to look good and a person who should have never existed in my world.
I kissed her to get her to stop talking, and then I kissed her again because I liked the taste of her words--I liked her.
It was our secret until we got caught--that night changed everything.

We became strangers living in the same house, seeing the same ghosts of our past mistakes, but I can't stop thinking about us, about those forbidden moments.
I pretend to hate her, I tell her I'll never forgive her, and then Quinn, my ex-best friend, steps into the picture. I can't tell if he actually likes her or if he has a death wish and just likes pissing me off, but what do I say? Stay away from my foster sister?
She's mine?
I've already had her?
Saying that to him would expose what we were and ruin everything.
We're all three of us living multiple lies, and eventually, I know our ivory tower of perfection is going to come crashing down.

He knows my secrets.
I know his.
And now she knows both.

She wants.
He wants.
But I always—always get what I want.

And what I want is the girl, no matter what it may cost me.

Review: Give Me More - Sara Cate

Give Me More by Sara Cate
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Give Me More by Sara Cate is book 3 in the Salacious Players Club. This story focuses on Hunter, Isabel and Drake. Hunter and Isabel are married are in a strong and dedicated relationship. They seem happy with what they have but when they are on business with their best friend Drake, Hunter feels that he wants more within his relationship….basically he wants his wife to sleep with his best friend.

Drake feels like the third wheel in his relationship with Hunter and Isabel and has feelings for both of them which he has kept under wraps. But when things change with his relationship with both of them, his feelings start coming to the forefront and he has to choose whether he can be part of a triad or go back to his old ways.

This book definitely has all the feels. There is a lot of emotion in all three of the characters as they come to terms with their changing relationship and even sexuality. I loved all three characters for each other, they all brought something different to the relationship. We see Isabel grow strong within her sexuality throughout the book and start voicing how she feels more. We see Hunter come to terms with his past as his relationship with Drake becomes closer and we see Drake find his self-worth with people who he has always loved.

There are some steamy scenes in this book, and it was a really enjoyable friends to lovers book. I can’t wait to read more in this series.

Review: The Perfects - Rachel Van Dyken

The Perfects by Rachel Van Dyken
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

The Perfects by Rachel Van Dyken is a standalone bully romance/ new adult book which looks at the characters Ambrose and Mary-Belle. Mary Belle is a foster child who is brought to live in Ambrose’s house when tragedy strikes. Ambrose seems to have the ‘perfect’ life, but not everything is as it seems and adding Mary-Belle to the mix just seems to add cracks to the facade that he is trying so hard to keep together. There is a lot of emotion going on in this book with both characters trying to be ‘perfect’ in an imperfect world with lots of things thrown their way which make them question who they are.

There is a lot going on with the characters in this book as they feel their way through tumultuous emotions. Boundaries are pushed, the angst is prevalent and there is enough suspense to keep you wanting to turn the pages to find out what happens. If you’ve read RVD before you know that she puts her characters through the wringer and this story is no different. I definitely don’t want to give too much away, so you need to pick it up and give it a read!

Blurb: 

The town’s most eligible bachelor just saved my life. I paid him back by puking on him.

Callan Hellman. Mr. Nice Guy paramedic. My best friend.

He buys my friends flowers when he knows they’ve had a hard day. Who does that? Callan’s the guy every girl wants to date and take home to mama. Not me though. We’re just friends. Have been since elementary school. I was the weird girl who kept him laughing with my antics, even when his father abandoned his family and Callan hid those scars behind his smile.

But due to my sudden medical diagnosis at twenty-four, Callan insists I move in with him. I accept and soon regret it. Since when did he grow all those muscles, and why is he allergic to wearing shirts? I’m getting white-picket-fences-feelings I have no business feeling, and try as I might to suppress them, Callan makes a bold move that proves he’s carried a love-shaped torch for me for years.

Turns out, best friends make the best lovers, but when Callan’s daddy issues come between us, will his well-meaning brothers be able to patch us up and get our hearts beating together again? Or have I just lost the best friend I’ll ever have?

Excerpt: 

“Say the word and I’ll back off forever, Cricket. All it takes is a simple no and I’ll never bring this up again, but I gotta tell you, I don’t want to back off. I want to taste your lips and feel your body pressed against me. Preferably with less clothing.” I leaned down and traced a kiss along her neck, seeing the way her breathing kicked up to that of a sprinter. “Tell me to stop, angel.”

She swallowed hard and every cell in my body froze, waiting for an answer. No matter how much it pained me—and good lord would it pain me for the rest of my life—but if she said no I’d honor that and never let her feel my disappointment. 

That moment in the kitchen the other night had shown me a tiny morsel of hope, that maybe, just maybe, Cricket felt the same heart stopping excitement when we were together. If there was even a small window of chance, I had to take my shot. Watching my older brothers find love had taken those feelings I’d harbored for Cricket over the years and given them an urgency I could no longer stuff down. 

Her blue eyes were eating me up, the flush from earlier turning into a forest fire on her cheeks. Her voice came out on a barely-there breath but I still heard it. 

“I don’t want you to stop, Cal.”

Review: Texas - Lila Rose

Texas by Lila Rose
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Texas by Lila Rose is book three in the Hawks MC: Next Generation series and tells the story of Texas and Maya. Maya has been in love with Texas since she was a young girl but was always relegated to ‘little sister’ status, that is until she is all grown up and Texas starts seeing her for the woman she is. When Maya’s life is put in danger, Texas realises that his emotions are more than friendly, but he needs to start showing Maya how he feels about her and help to knock down her walls.

Texas is a full out love story, full of emotion, an alpha male who knows what he wants and a young woman questioning her life but knowing that she has her man standing in her corner. Scenes between Maya and Texas were wonderful to read as their relationship develops from friends into something more. I also enjoyed reading how other family members and people in the MC saw what was in front of them before Texas and Maya did. Texas really supported Maya when life threw her a curveball, and he is super protective and sweet with her.

As always with Lila Rose books, previous characters pop in to share their own stories and witticisms, which help to create a great read about family and friendship. Overall, a great addition to the series and I can’t wait to read the next book.

Review: Friend Zone Hell - Marika Ray

Friend Zone Hell by Marika Ray
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Friend Zone Hell by Marika Ray is a sweet, friends to lover’s romance. The book focuses on the characters Callan and Cricket who have been friends forever but there has been some unrequited love on both parts, both of them scared to take their relationship to the next level in case it ruins their friendship. But plans go awry when Cricket gets a healthcare diagnosis and has to move in with Callan and being in close quarters makes them both take a good look at each other.

This was a very sweet book with some serious undertones. Not only are we dealing with someone coming to terms with an illness, but we are also seeing how Callan’s relationship with his estranged father has shaped him and made him feel like less and how Cricket needs to stand up to her own overbearing father more. The biggest highlight in this book though is how the characters handle what is going on in their lives and how they work together and with other friends and family to get the love and support they need.

The relationship that Callan and Cricket have is sweet and steamy. Both characters have a great group of friends who also add their opinions when needed and the banter between both Callan and Cricket keeps you wanting to turn the pages to see what is going to happen. I would say this is a low drama, sweet read and overall, a really great book set in a small, gossipy town. If that’s your cup of tea, then this book is for you.
