Author: L. Wilder
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: August 14, 2018
Cover Model: Travis S.

Even as a kid, I knew the kind of hell the world could dish out. I grew to expect the worst and learned to face it head on. When I became Satan’s Fury’s new enforcer, I knew I could handle whatever came my way—until Alex Carpenter, the gorgeous book store owner who brought color into my world of gray.

The club was at war, fighting an unknown enemy, and she was a distraction I didn’t need nor want. My focus should’ve been on my brothers and our latest adversary, but I felt an unexplainable pull towards her. Her beauty and innocence captivated me, and just being near her made the shadows of my past seem less daunting. Without even realizing it, I let her in, but as we grew closer, I quickly realized that her walls were even more guarded than my own. 

Like me, Alex had a past filled with secrets. Could our broken souls find a way to mend together, or would we remain imprisoned by our past?

NOTE: Blaze (Satan's Fury MC Memphis Chapter) MUST be read prior











Leslie Wilder grew up in a small town in West Tennessee. A country girl at heart, she’s always thought that life is too short, but she had no idea how short it really was until her brother passed away in 2014. She’s always been an avid reader, loving the escape only a great book can give, and wondered if she had what it took to write one of the wild romances she’d come to adore. With the support of her family and friends, she published Inferno: A Devil Chaser’s MC, one year after her brother’s death. With him in mind, she fulfilled her lifetime dream of writing. Since then, she’s completed the Devil Chaser’s Series and continued on with the Satan’s Fury MC Series. She has so many stories in her head, and can’t wait to share each and every one.
Leslie has been blown away by the support of her readers, appreciating every message, review, and encouraging word she’s received over the past year. She looks forward to continuing this journey with them for years to come.

What happens when you want more in life than just running the bases?
You hang out at home plate and stop playing the field.


He's sexy and irresistible. I've done my best to ignore the magnetism that flows between us. I don't need complications in my life. I can't get wrapped up in his world, the last thing I need is to get attached to a professional athlete. I don’t have time for heartbreak.


Something about her pulls me in. I want to get to know her. I want a chance to show her I'm more than just my career, my paycheck. I'm the man for her. I know I am. No matter how much she resists this connection between us. It doesn't change the fact that she’s my grand slam.

4.5 Stars 

I'm a complete sucker for a sports romance, especially when the hero has a heart of gold. 

Beyond the Bases is a sweet, steamy and heart warming sports romance, with a strong theme of family flowing throughout. 

Easton Monroe is completely swoon worthy.  He's kind, caring, compassionate, and when he wants something he commits to it 100%.  He's passionate, determined and persistent both on and off the baseball diamond. 

Larissa is an incredibly endearing character, her strength and determination is admirable.  She's determined to keep Easton at arms length, and she has quite a history. 

Kaylee Ryan has once again hit it out of the park, there's a reason she's one of my go to authors.  I highly recommend Beyond the Bases if you are looking for a sweet and captivating romance packed full of heat, heart and humor.

“See?” Renee spread her arms wide and gave a little shrug. The moonlight cast a glow through the impressive kitchen window, giving her such an ethereal look I stopped breathing for a second before schooling my features. “Nothing to worry about, nobody here to kill me.”

I didn’t relax my stance or lower my gun. “So you checked the crawl spaces? Closets? Dark corners?” I took a step as she shook her head slowly. “Then surely you checked the pantry, right? I mean it’s right behind you. Hell, there could be someone with a gun trained on that pretty mop of hair right now and you wouldn’t know until it was too late.” Her eyes widened like she hadn’t thought of it. Of course she hadn’t. It wasn’t her job to think about the monsters in the dark, just like it wasn’t her job to protect herself. That was why she had me.

I reached behind her and opened the pantry, pointing my gun inside before shutting the door and facing her again. “It’s clear.”

Her lower lip trembled. “I didn’t think of the pantry.”

“It’s not your job to obsess over the pantry,” I whispered in a gruff voice. “It’s your job to listen to me when I’m trying to do my best to keep you safe.”

She looked away. “Can’t save everyone.”

“But there’s absolutely nothing wrong with trying, Renee.”

I said her name.

It tasted sweet on my tongue.

The moan that wanted to follow was barely suppressed by clenching my teeth together.

“Are you going to do a sweep of the house?” she asked quietly.

“Did you want to join me?”

“Am I safer with you or by myself in the kitchen?”

“With me,” I lied. Physically she would always be safe from our enemies—but I knew the truth in my soul. I was just as dangerous to her as a bullet. My being with her would eventually kill her.

All the wives knew it.

They knew that eventually there would be blood.

And if their husbands were gone—it was only a matter of time before it was theirs that was spilled.

I’d like to think that’s why we drank wine like water.

Because when you constantly stare down your impending doom, you start wanting to celebrate every extra minute you’ve been given.

“Let’s go.” I nodded toward the hall. My footsteps whispered against the carpet. Nothing seemed out of place—which was almost more suspicious. People were messy. The hallways were lined with family pictures of Renee smiling with her parents. A heaviness settled on my shoulders.

“She can’t know,” Phoenix had said earlier that night. “At least not yet.”

I knew she was close with her parents. I also knew that they were dishonest with her. And she wondered why she was the one nannying the kids.

Why she was constantly under the watchful eye of Nixon.

I shook my head and kept walking with a stiff Renee next to me.

I cleared each room, each closet, each corner, and twenty minutes later when I felt it was safe enough for her to do more than breathe at my side, I lowered my gun and put it back in its holster.

“All good?” Renee stepped away. She rarely looked me in the eyes, but this time they locked onto me for a good three seconds before she tucked her hair behind her ear and walked farther and farther away.

I almost reached out and grabbed her arm.

Almost jerked her against my chest.

Almost confessed it all.

The lies they’d told.

The secrets we kept.

All to keep her safe.

All to keep her in the dark.

To keep her alive.






5 Stars 

Rachel Van Dyken's Eagle Elite series never disappoints, and Envy is no exception.  The 9.5 title in this series, features Vic Colezan Abandonato and Renee Cassini. 

Whilst this pair couldn't be any more different, they are inexplicable drawn to each other.  Their attraction is forbidden, but their chemistry and connection is undeniable, intense and passionate. 

Vic is Nixon's cousin, his role and duty is to protect the family at any cost, he's exudes darkness, danger and violence which fits his role as an assassin.  When taking on the role of protector he took an oath of loyalty and celibacy, which he struggles to adhere to when around the temptation that is Renee. 

Renee grew up on the outskirts of the families, but she's well aware of who she is employed by to look after their children. She's sweet, demure and the men of the Eagle Elite, with their fierce, dangerous and demanding demeanours frighten her. 

This story is intense, dark and gritty, and full of intrigue and suspense.  Whilst it's publicised as a novella, its longer in length and will not only intrigue, you and captivate you but satisfy your cravings for more of the Eagle Elite. 

I will be eagerly awaiting more of this series.

Holding On - Pamela Clare - Review








Harrison Conrad returned to Scarlet Springs from Nepal, the sole survivor of a freak accident on Mt. Everest. Shattered and grieving for his friends, he vows never to climb again and retreats into a bottle of whiskey—until Kenzie Morgan shows up at his door with a tiny puppy asking for his help. He’s the last person in the world she should ask to foster this little furball. He’s barely capable of managing his own life right now, let alone caring for a helpless, adorable, fluffy puppy. But Conrad has always had a thing for Kenzie with her bright smile and sweet curves. One look into her pleading blue eyes, and he can’t say no.
 

Kenzie Morgan’s life went to the dogs years ago. A successful search dog trainer and kennel owner, she gets her fill of adventure volunteering for the Rocky Mountain Search & Rescue Team. The only thing missing from her busy life is love. It’s not easy finding Mr. Right in a small mountain town, especially when she’s unwilling to date climbers. She long ago swore never again to fall for a guy who might one day leave her for a rock. When Conrad returns from a climbing trip haunted by the catastrophe that killed his best friend, Kenzie can see he’s hurting and wants to help. She just might have the perfect way to bring him back to the world of the living. But friendship quickly turns into something more—and now she’s risking her heart to heal his.









4.5 Stars

Holding On is the sixth title in the Colorado High Country series, and whilst each title can be read as a standalone, many of the previous characters re-appear within the story lines. 

Harrison Conrad is an elite alpine climber used to the most extreme circumstances, until an accident and grief causes him to doubt his abilities, and descends into a darkness of survivors guilt and PTSD.

Kenzie is sweet, kind, compassionate and caring.  Her strength and loyalty is absolute and not just to her human friends but also her animal companions. 

This pair of characters are complex and realistic.  Holding On is a heartwarming and endearing story of friendship, community and healing with a touch of suspense.   This tile is both captivating and enthralling.  Pamela Clare has the ability to craft titles that are both plentiful and vivid with descriptions and details, that leaves you feeling like you are part of the story, rather than an outsider looking in.  

I loved that previous characters appeared frequently within the story line, and getting a glimpse of their lives further on from when their titles ended.  I look forward to the next addition to the Colorado High Country series.
