Always Meant to Be featured Kendall and Vader, their relationship is forbidden from the very beginning.  She’s a married mother of three, and he’s her son’s best friend.

Honestly age gap romances, are not generally my favorite trope, but this one is a unique and intriguing love story.  The chemistry and pull between this pair is undeniable and their romance is not only touching, but raw, and the angst and drama will have you going through a gamut of emotions.

Another well written title from Siobhan Davis and I look forward to discovering what she writes next.

The woman I’m head over heels in love with has a damn target on her head. And I will stop at nothing to make sure the bitch who’s after her is taken out—before the asshole comes after what’s mine.
I’d do anything for Thayleah. I proved that when I almost lost my life while trying to protect her from an evil so vile, I knew it was time to deal with the shit that brought with it. So, to ensure she was safe, I voluntarily took a scorpion bite—twice—to prove I am worthy of being the man she needs me to be.
I will not fail her this time.
Not when she needs me the most.
Though, the problem—I’m a damn prospect.
A nothing.
Well, less than nothing.
Patching into the club is everything I have ever wanted.
Everything I need.
To prove to my family and the club, I belong—that I’m not just some kid they seem to see me as—as a brother who is willing to fight and die for this club.
Defiance means everything to me.
But if I have to go into this mission alone, sacrificing my position at the club to make sure Thayleah stays safe, then I’m willing to do just that.

 
 

Survive is the eighth title in the Houston Defiance series and the conclusion to the series that is full of action, danger, violence, and unexpected twists and turns.

This addition to the series features multiple points of view and I particularly enjoyed seeing more of Koda and Thayleah, but also River.

Overall an engaging and compelling end to a series.

Bound By Fate - Ryan Michele

 


Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling author Ryan Michele brings the action packed, angst filled story of second chances.

Oh what a wicked web we weave...

Marine, Benjamin Dryerson has been to war and knows the ugly side of freedom. It changes a man leaving him knowing what is important in life.

He’s found peace in the Ravage Motorcycle Club and the family that comes with the cut.

And her…

Katie lives in a constant war of her own, a battle of wills against herself with no escaping.

She knows the cruel side of freedom. What most people take for granted, she’s had to claw for a sliver of good.

She’s far too damaged to let the war rage on.
Guilt consumes her and the only comfort she’s ever known was wrapped in his arms.

Second chances don't happen for people like Katie, no matter how desperately she wants it. Or how much Dryerson desires to be the one to give her a new life.

Fate intervenes, pulling them together in a combustible way they never saw coming.

Neither did the club. Friend or Foe? Only one way to know.

The Ravage MC way…

** Bound by Fate (Bound #9) (Ravage MC #18) is a standalone full-length novel. **

Bound By Fate is the ninth title in the Ravage MC Bound series and features familiar characters Dryerson and Katie who were side characters in Bound By Redemption. 

Benjamin Dryerson is a prospect for the Ravage MC, a former marine and Micah’s best friend.  He’s a patient, kind, loving and determined alpha who isn’t afraid to go after what he wants.

Katie is the older sister of Ensley.  She’s a survivor, who has endured a lifetime of trauma and is struggling to cope and move on from the events in her past.

Their story is emotional, with unexpected twists and turns and surprising reveals.  The connection between this pair is undeniable, and I adored watching their romance bloom.

I look forward to the next addition to this series.


Decker's Dilemma - Chantal Fernando



The Knights of Fury and the Wind Dragons MCs come together in New York Times bestselling author Chantal Fernando’s gritty new series.



Wind Dragon princess Cara and ex-cop Decker will have to cross every line to be together—including the law. 

At a Turning Point

It was a typical PI gig: track down the client’s newly discovered half sister. For ex-cop Seth Decker, finding Cara Ward was the easy part. Walking away from the sexy schoolteacher is going to be a whole different story.

At a Crossroads

Cara thought she had the road ahead all mapped out—she’d be a biker’s old lady, straddling a Harley behind the man she fell for in her teens. But she’s all grown up. And while the Wind Dragons will always be family, Cara wants something more, something for herself. Decker may not be a biker, but that means his woman will always come first.

Caught in the Cross Fire

Once an MC princess, always an MC princess, though. When Cara’s connection to the Wind Dragons puts her in the line of fire from a gang out for revenge, Decker realizes the safest place for her is by his side. After all, there’s nothing he won’t do to protect the woman he loves. Even if it means crossing the line of the law he once swore to uphold.

It’s not that we don’t like each other, more like hate with the fury of a thousand suns. But it wasn’t always that way.
 
I still remember how her lips tasted. How they felt pressed against mine. How I wanted more. 
 
How I still crave her. Our disastrous night together ended with her storming out, me wondering if I’d ever be able to show my face on campus again and us as bitter enemies.
 
When a campus competition is announced to find the most in love couple, she’s the last person I thought I’d turn to for help. But the prize could change both our lives. An internship for her and a chance to finally connect with my father. It’s too hard to resist. Just like her heated glares and tempting curves. 
 
To win, we’ve got to prove to everyone we’re a couple. Head over heels, can’t keep our hands off each other in love. Fake the hell out of it for our chance at glory. 
 
Maybe we’re a little too good at selling it to the whole campus because the lines haven’t just been blurred, they've gone up in flames. Can I convince her I want us to be together for real and keep the prize? Or will I lose them both?

Say You Swear - Meagan Brandy

 


For years, I’ve dreamt of what college life could bring and while some things changed, there was always one constant.

It didn’t matter how wild I allowed my imagination to run, it always led me to the same place in the end. 

 

It led me to him. 

My future was clear, and he was it. 

 

Until suddenly ... he wasn’t. 

 

Now I’m a shell of who I was, on a path too blurry to follow, and I see no way out.

No way up. 

 

They say first loves last forever.

That’s exactly what I’m afraid of.

Say You Swear, has to be one of my favorite reads this year.  The synopsis is kind of vague, so I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to get with this one, and honestly if I had known, I’m not sure that I would have read this book, as it’s a trope that I don’t usually connect with.  But it’s so much more, it’s a surprising story of friendship, family, and love, with raw emotion and angst that leaves you feeling completely wrung out.  I will admit that this one bought me to tears, but I was completely invested and enthralled by the twists and turns, angst, sexual tension, and drama that unfolded before my eyes.

The characters are endearing, the heroine is strong, yet vulnerable, and loving, with a close-knit group of friends that are more like family, and the hero is a complex character that oozes integrity.   He’s incredibly loveable, passionate, loyal, and willing to sacrifice his own happiness for those he cares for most.

I highly recommend Say You Swear, and if you’ve never read Meagan Brandy’s work this is a great place to start.

What kind of coffee drink do you like?

I could have lied, and when I saw him at the office, said I was driving when I got the text and that was why I didn’t answer.

But there was a part of me that was so excited to get my very first text from Rix, and that part was strong.

So strong, that thought didn’t even occur to me before I texted back with oodles of curiosity, Why?

Because I’m buying you a coffee, babe.

Another babe.

That was three.

Highly inappropriate, even infantilizing.

I said not one word about the “babe.”

Instead, I texted, Iced Chai.

Once I sent that, I texted, Mocha latte, iced or hot.

And on its heels, I sent, For just hot, flat white.

Then I got nervous that I might be sounding like a goof.

So nervous my thumbs couldn’t seem to stop tapping letters, and I therefore texted, I assume you want to know what I want right now, rather than all that I like. So just to say, I tend to be a coffee explorer, since I like coffee. And caffeine on the whole. That means the list is kinda long. But if you’re asking for right now, which you are, because it’s chilly this morning, flat white.

After I sent that, I realized that I was absolutely sounding like a dork in sending it, all of it, including the three before. As such, I watched in agony as Rix’s three dots cycled and cycled and then they did it some more.

Until I got, How much coffee have you already had?

This would have been funny if it wasn’t so mortifying.

Just one, I responded miserably.

Try to cycle down cuz you’ll have another when you get to work. Later.

I decided I’d texted enough, so I let that lie.

It didn’t lie for long.

Rix showed at my desk at River Rain (which wasn’t going to be my desk at River Rain for very long, it’d be my desk at Trail Blazer since we were moving the next day, Judge’s office furniture, mine, and some unused stuff they had sitting around was all going to the new offices for temporary use because the telephones and Internet were being hooked up that day and it was time to occupy Trail Blazer).

Rix set my flat white down while I valiantly attempted not to blush, he made no attempt whatsoever to hide he totally did not miss I failed at this endeavor, smiled a smile that I wanted to think was friendly, but instead it seemed sexy, this thought being exacerbated when he muttered under his breath so I almost couldn’t hear it, “Only you could make a rambling coffee order adorable.”

I sat frozen.

Rix winked at me and said in his normal voice, “Bottoms up, Alex.”

With that, seeing as he was in his chair that day, he wheeled away.

Since there was a lot going on with packing for the move and tech hookups and such, I only had to deal with Rix in passing for the rest of Monday.

However, Tuesday morning, I was shoving stuff into my bag at home, preparing to head down the mountain to dig into the move, when my phone chimed.

OK, I have ten minutes, explain today’s coffee order.

Yes.

Another text from Rix.

A startled laugh escaped from me because he was being funny.

I then texted back, You don’t have to buy me coffee.

To which he texted, I know I don’t.

Then I sent, I’m just saying, we’re good. We had a blip last week. But now we’re great.

We’re great?

Damn.

Why did reading those two words texted by him make my breasts swell?

Good. Great. I mean, things are fine. You don’t have to butter me up with coffee.

So coffee is a way to butter you up?

Oh God.

What was that?

Was it flirty?

Or was it just being funny and friendly?

Or was it just a kind of getting-to-know-you, valued co-worker, but in a jokey fashion?

Tell him what you want and stop texting, Alex! I admonished myself.

I did not stop texting.

Well, yeah. Kinda. Like I said, I like coffee.

You did say that, so maybe you’ll tell me what kind you want this morning.

Time to get beyond this.

Iced Chai.

That’s tea.

Oh my God!

Flirty?

Or jokey?

I’m feeling tea today, I replied.

Right. And then he sent, That only took five minutes. I’d fill the other five by asking you what kind of donuts you like, but we got a lot to get accomplished today. I’m sure I’ll enjoy your dissertation on that, but I’d prefer to sort out my office so I can start doing the shit I’m getting paid to do.

He one hundred percent did not need my views on donuts then.

Therefore, I noted, Good call.

He sent a smirk emoji, which shared the impossible.

Rix could even make emojis sexy.

I’ve been eagerly awaiting Taking the Leap, after first meeting Rix and Alex in Chloe and Judge’s story Chasing Serenity.  Their story is a slow burn, workplace relationship with a fake relationship thrown in for good measure.

Alex is awkward, shy, and nerdy, whilst Rix is a sexy, damaged alpha.   Rix is a hero with a disability whose behavior whilst questionable at times is also understandable.  This duo has so much in common, and share a love of the outdoors, are down to earth, compassionate, loyal, and caring.   Both are haunted by their pasts but for vastly different reasons.

This title is a story of forgiveness, understanding, acceptance and love, with it’s fair share of drama.  This pair complement each other perfectly and their chemistry is undeniable.  Rix and Alex are endearing characters and their love story is not only emotional, but tender.

I look forward to the next addition to the River Rain series.
