Blurb:

Poet and Amy's story...

 

Patrick Gallagher’s future was mapped out—and it didn’t include Amy Henderson or the IRA.

 

She was everything he’d never wanted. Too young.Too naïve.

 

Unfortunately, he couldn’t help but be fascinated by the girl who took refuge in his old bedroom, staying with his mum more often than not.

 

She looked like a Renaissance painting and argued like a solicitor. He couldn’t resist her, and before long, he didn’t even want to.

 

Instead, he loved her unreservedly… then he married her.

 

But he couldn’t have prepared for what happened after.

 

Actions, no matter how large or how small, have consequences—and when the IRA comes knocking, he’s sucked into a life that he’d never anticipated.

 

Choices were made.

 

Hearts were broken.

 

Trust was shattered.

 

Lives were lost.

 

Through it all, he loved her.

 

It was a love that spanned decades.

Epic.

Intense.

Unquestionable.

Unbreakable.

 

 

 MY REVIEW FOR CRAVING RESURRECTION:

 

I had no idea when I started this book that I was going to love Poet like I do!! After reading about him in CC, I was afraid that I would only see him as a "dirty old man", but that was so far from the truth!! He is such a beautiful man, both inside and out. It was so crazy to see his story from the beginning. I think we absolutely needed that, in order to fully understand why Poet is the way he is. We had to go back to the start- back to his roots. However ugly they may be. 

Other than Callie and Grease- Amy and Poet were definitely the couple that has suffered the most in my mind. The fact that their story spanned decades, just like Callie and Grease- it broke my heart. The suffering that they had to endure, both self inflicted and by each other, well it was hard to take. I honestly felt like I rooted for their HEA more than anyone else's. That's how much they dug into my heart. 

Nicole did an amazing job on this one, as it may end up being my favorite of the series- it's just that good. She is such a talented writer, and tells such soul enriching stories, I cannot help but love her work. 5 huge stars!!!!

Consume Me-- Ryan Michele!!!!!


That's it- Tug has done it. He has de-throned Cruz as my Ravage MC man. I didn't know if it could happen, but yes- yes it has. Talk about a swoon worthy male- you have it in Tug. Not only is he an MC badass, but he's also former military, and an alpha!! It's the holy trifecta!!! Honestly, poor ole Blaze never stood a chance at resisting him. But, don't we love that she tried to.
I loved Blaze!! She was the perfect brand of feisty for our MC boy- regardless of her profession, she wasn't a club mama- she was respectable. The girls at X envied her, while at the same time, learning to respect her. She reminds me so much of Harlow that way. A big ole boom in a tiny package. Enough to make some grown men quake in their boots. And, the fact that she made Tug stick it out in order to win her- loved that. She didn't just fall at his feet- he actually had to put in the work. Thank god he was a persistent man!!
Almost as much as I loved learning about Tug and Blaze- I adored getting more of Buzz and Breaker. Those two are a mystery in themselves, so I really hope that Ryan has big things planned for those boys. I need their stories- hint, hint woman!!
This was an easy one for me to give 5 stars to- much like the rest of the Ravage MC books. They are all pretty damn fab!!

Mayhem-- Jamie Shaw!!!!

 
This book- oh shit. I freaking loved it. Jamie has definitely set the bar for rockstar reads, in my opinion. This is one of the best that I've read in a LONG time. And I've read several. Something about Adam and Peach (Rowan), just drew me in. I had to have more- craved it even. Their story was explosive and fun, yet sweet and funny at the same time. Their chemistry is off the charts hot, and it definitely makes for a hell of a scene when they finally come together.
Add into the mix the other band members, as well as Ro's wild and crazy posse- and this story is freaking amazing. I enjoyed the supporting characters just as much as I did Adam and Peach, and am thrilled that the rest of the books will be about each of the guys getting their girls too. You cannot help but fall for these guys- they are all just like the brothers you never had. And they all welcome Peach into the fold, without question- she just instantly becomes one of them.
Jamie most certainly gets 5 stars from me for this book- it blew me away, and I cannot wait for the rest of the series!! Well done woman!!
 
 
mayhem
 
Synopsis: When college freshman Rowan Michaels meets gorgeous, up-and-coming rock star Adam Everest, she knows a player like him is the last thing she needs after her ex-boyfriend shattered her heart. But she can't stop thinking about the kiss they shared on his tour bus. On the first day of school, Rowan is stunned when Adam saunters into her French class. He's soon failing miserably, and, on a whim, she offers to tutor him. But Adam doesn't recognize her as a makeup-free, glasses-clad college student—a far cry from the beautiful, mysterious "Peach" he met at his concert. During a wild weekend on tour with the band, Rowan can't help falling for the sweet guy buried beneath Adam's rocker persona. Yet she knows she could never compete with the girls constantly throwing themselves at his feet. She'd just end up hurt … again. Peach is all Adam thinks about, though, and when Rowan realizes this, she has a decision to make: stay just friends to protect her fragile heart … or reveal the truth about the night they met and admit she's fallen completely, hopelessly in love with him.

Praise for Mayhem:This book is exactly why every girl has a rock star fantasy. Love, lust and good times on the road make for a fun and sexy romance that will make you want to drop everything and run away on tour with the band.
— Jay Crownover, New York Times bestselling author

There’s no better feeling than staying up late to finish a great book. Mayhem was totally worth losing sleep over.
— Tiffany King, USA Today bestselling author


Excerpt:

"When the door opens behind me, I sit up straight and hurriedly sniff in my tears as I wipe my shaking fingers across my slippery cheeks. I hear the flick of a lighter, and then someone sits down next to me on the stairs, puffing a cigarette. When I look over at him, I nearly choke. He gazes back at me, starting at my hot-pink heels and then raking his way up, and then he chuckles. “Are they letting people in yet?” Adam. He’s ditched the shades and cap, and now his dark brown hair is framing his gorgeous face, stretching almost to his chin. I look away quickly, hoping he can’t tell I’ve been crying. “Sorry about that,” I say. And I hear the hoarse sadness in my voice, but I couldn’t keep it out. When he reaches over and brushes my tangled hair away from my eyes, I tense. “Is everything okay?” he asks, and I half laugh. No, everything is not okay. “Everything’s fine.” “Then why have you been crying?” “No reason.” “You get all dolled up to sit outside of rock shows crying by yourself?” I lift my gaze to stare into his eyes, and something in them makes me believe he really cares. Or maybe that’s just what I want to see, but I suddenly need to tell someone. “My boyfriend’s in there.” “And?" “With another girl. I just caught him cheating.” Adam takes a deep puff of his cigarette, nodding as he sighs it back out. “Want me to fuck him up?” I laugh, and he smiles at me. “Would you?” “If you want me to.” “Why?” He shrugs. “Because I offered.” “Why’d you offer?” “Who knows why I do anything I do?” He stares at me while I wait for an answer. “I just do.” That’s a good enough explanation for me, so I look back to my knees again, letting out a shaky breath. I can’t believe I just laughed. At a time like this, Adam Everest made me laugh. “Anyway, your boyfriend is a dumbass,” he says out of nowhere. “How do you know?” His gray-green eyes wash over me. “Look at you.” I blush like hell, but I know he’s just trying to make me feel better. “You thought I was an idiot when you first saw me.” Adam chuckles and shakes his head. “I thought you were cute as a peach.” His lips hold the cigarette in his mouth as he stands up, holding a hand down to me. My heart stops; Adam Everest is offering me his hand. In faded denim jeans, all torn up at the knees, and a fit olive-green button-down rolled up to his elbows, he makes my heart race to a nonexistent finish line. “Come on, Peach.” I take his hand, and he lifts me to my feet, leading me away from the building. “Where are we going?” “To get you a drink. I think you need one.” “I’ve had a few,” I think out loud, slowing to a stop. Adam gazes over his shoulder at me, his eyebrow cocked when he asks, “Are you saying you don’t want another?” I take a moment to consider his question. Just a moment, and then I keep walking."

MY REVIEW FOR KICK:
Well, Carmen warned us. She made sure to let us all know that this was not a warm and fuzzy story, by any means. It was about an MC. The true and ugly life that bikers deal with. She could not have been more spot on. There were times it was brutal. Heartbreaking. Simply gut wrenching. Times that you're going to want to put down your Kindle and walk away from the violence. Don't do it. You'll regret it- I promise you.
This was a story that needed to be told. After meeting Kick in Sugartown- I know that we all had questions about how this man came to be the way he was. What made him into the monster that he appeared to be, at least to himself? So, to finally get his story- his history, with all of the ugly parts too, it was great. I loved it. Carmen did a fantastic job with Kick and Indie.
She could not have made a more perfect woman for Kick. Indie was everything that Kick needed, and everything that he didn't even know that he wanted. She was a fighter, a survivor, and most of all- just as damaged a soul as he was. I feel like in order for him to at least begin to heal from his past pain, he had to be able to help Indie heal from hers. And he was certainly the perfect man to do that.
Carmen has certainly started this series off with a bang, and I can't wait to see what else she has in store for these guys. Maybe we can have some more of Tank's story next??  ;)
5 stars!!!!
 
 
Excerpt:
 
I take a deep shuddering breath, close my eyes and stretch my hand towards him. His touch is gentle this time, far more gentle than I’d ever thought someone with so much uncontained violence to him could be.
“Spread your fingers,” he commands. I do, and he lifts the roll of tape, presses the edge to my skin and begins winding it over my knuckles. I close my eyes. The strident sound of it stretching out from the roll makes me want to flee. It makes me want to run as far from his touch—from any man’s touch—as I can possibly get.
The feel of the tape against my flesh, binding, holding, is so much worse. I tug on my hand, but he won’t let go. My heartrate skyrockets, and sweat beads erupt over my brow and upper lip. I’m in that room again, struggling, screaming, trying to fight them off, and failing.
 Biker knows it, too. His dark eyes challenge, they dare me to run, but they also implore me to stay. It’s ironic that the only thing keeping me here, keeping me grounded, is the man who abducted me.
He holds my gaze. I don’t know exactly what is hidden in his dark blue one, but it suffocates the panic within me, douses it like water flooding flames. He bends his head to my hand. Taking the paper tape in his mouth, he rips it with his teeth.
I still. I soften. His gaze doesn’t leave mine, not even once. Not even when he starts in on my wrist, gently biting through each piece of tape before pressing it down with his rough hands. I’m mesmerised by his mouth, the piercing, and the soft, full lips. The light catches a silver chain around his neck, something I’ve never noticed before—but then I try not to make a habit of staring too closely at him. Not now, though. Now I watch every twitch, every blink, every intake of breath, and every inch that is swallowed up by his mouth moving closer to my flesh.
 



 


Blurb

When I was ten, my father indoctrinated me into the family.

A brotherhood who would fight, protect, and give their lives for one another. A club whose ties ran thicker than blood, murkier than the dirt and grime that tainted my soul. Stronger than the bonds that connected me to my own family.

A band of brothers, where loyalty was kept and paid in a currency of blood.

When I was twenty-seven, I betrayed that brotherhood.

I’ve spent every day since running, avoiding paying back that debt.

My name is Daniel Johnson.  I have betrayed everyone I ever loved.

And I’ll betray her too.

This is my story—if you’re screwed up enough to want to read it.
