On May 15, 1975, fifteen-year-old Ginny is abducted from a convenience store by a member of one of the most brutal motorcycle gangs and her life is forever changed. She gets a new name and a new life in the midst of the gang’s base… And at the center of it all is the gang’s leader, Grizz: massive, ruggedly handsome, terrifying and somehow, when it comes to Ginny, tender. She becomes his obsession and the one true love of his life.

*** WHAT I JUST FINISHED READING ***

Broken Course by Aly Martinez — (My review)

*Squee!* I totally loved this!! It’s the latest book in one of my FAVORITE series!!! — “Seven years ago, my life changed forever. Then fate led me to Leo James. He taught me that crazy could be perfectly normal and it shouldn’t hurt to breathe…”

Full series (all standalones but I recommend reading them in order because the stories are connected): Changing Course (My review), Stolen Course (My review), Among The Echoes (My review), Broken Course (My review).

*** NEW REVIEW & RECOMMENDATION ***

Nocte (Nocte Trilogy #1) by Courtney Cole — (Read my Review)

WOAH. I could NOT put this down!!!! It hooked me from the beginning, kept me flipping pages like crazy right through to the end… and now I’m desperate for the next one!! I went in totally blind and honestly, I suggest you do the same. Just dive in and let the story happen!! — This is 100% contemporary, NOT paranormal.

“I love him. More than life, more than anything… He has the power to destroy me. Why? Because of a secret. A secret I’m so busy trying to figure out, that I never see it coming. You won’t either.”

*** NEW REVIEW & RECOMMENDATION ***

Addicted After All (Addicted series) by Krista & Becca Ritchie

SQUEEE!!! This is now live!! It’s the latest Addicted series book (the 7th one) and I absolutely LOVED every word!! — Read my review — Without a doubt, this is my #1 Top Favorite “on-going” series. It’s sexy (I mean really, holy hotness!!), it’s romantic (their love story has ALL THE FEELS), it’s heart wrenching (I’ve cried more than once), but also heart warming and funny. The story is totally unique and it’s everything I could ever want in a series delivered with some of the best writing I’ve read. I HIGHLY recommend it for all fans of romance.

NOTE: This series must be read in order. These are NOT standalones. However, there are no cliffhangers now so you are safe to start reading. They are all full-length novels. Here’s the full series reading order: Addicted To You, Ricochet, Addicted For Now, Kiss The Sky, Hothouse Flower, Thrive, Addicted After All.

PS: I know it says this is “book #3” on Amazon but it’s complicated. Basically, the main Addicted series is broken down into 2 sub-series, BUT the stories are all about the same characters so just trust me and read them in the order I listed (which is ALL the books).

*** NEW RELEASES ***

Eight Days A Week by Amber L. Johnson — New Release!!

A new standalone was just released from an author I love!! — The hero is jobless and responds to an ad for a room to rent. But it’s more than that. The heroine is a working single mother of 2 who needs a caretaker for them. He’s not one but he takes the job as their “manny”… But when emotions get in the way, there’s more at stake than just an occupation. Because life doesn’t have a clock-out button. And neither does love.

 

PULL (Push #2) by Claire Wallis — New Release!!

This is the continuation of the story from PUSH. It is not a standalone and the books should definitely be read in order. It is the conclusion to this story. Reading order: #1 PUSH, #2 PULL. My review will be coming soon.

He was calm, collected, & made her feel safe BUT he had a chilling past: his six previous girlfriends all disappeared without a trace.

 

Fighting The Fall by JB Salsbury — New Release!!

MMA fighter alert!! This hero has lost it all — his fighting career, his child, his marriage. He’s just trying to stay on his feet and get back in the game. And the distraction of a sassy girl seventeen years his junior is the last thing he needs… Will they risk it all and fight to be together?

This is the 4th standalone in the series. The first 3 are bundled together on sale.

 

Dirty Rowdy Thing by Christina Lauren — New Release!!

This is the second standalone in the series following Sweet Filthy Boy.

Despite their rowdy hookups, Harlow and Finn don’t even like each other…which would explain why their marriage lasted only twelve hours. He needs to be in charge and takes whatever he wants. She lives by the Want-something-done? Do-it-yourself mantra. Maybe she’s too similar to the rugged fisherman—or just what he needs.

 

The Retribution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin — New Release!!

I’ve had this trilogy on my TBR for ages and the final book was just released so the series is now complete!! — The heroine wakes up in a hospital with no memory, as the survivor of an accident that killed her friends but left her strangely unharmed. She doesn’t believe that after everything, she can fall in love. She’s wrong.

Reading order: #1 The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, #2 The Evolution of Mara Dyer, #3 The Retribution of Mara Dyer.

 

Second Chance Holiday by Aurora Rose Reynolds — New Release!!

This is a holiday novella in the Until series. It’s recommended to read the main books first: #1 Until November, #2 Until Trevor, #3 Until Lily, #4 Until Nico.

Mike Rouger isn’t looking for love. He decided long ago that he would rather stay single than get mixed up with a woman again. Then Kathleen Mullings comes back into his life with her teenage son and changes everything. What happens when a man set in his ways meets a sassy woman who knows what she wants?

Brody by Mandy Harbin — New Release!!

This new release was a random find for me but it sounds interesting!

The hero isn’t your average small-town mechanic. The shop where he spends his days doubles as the headquarters for the mercenary group he works with. The heroine is under FBI protection and has been in hiding with her son for ten years. When he finds out she’s his next assignment, he will protect her at all costs … even if what she needs protection from most is him.

 

I Saw Her Standing There by Marie Force — New Release!!

This is the third book in the Green Mountain Romance series. While each book is about a different couple, I’m told that it’s recommended to read them in order because the stories are interconnected.

Reading order: #1 All You Need Is Love, #2 I Want To Hold Your Hand, #3 I Saw Her Standing There.

 

The Muse by Raine Miller — New Release!!

This is the first historical romance standalone in a new series.

This is a FUN, sexy, light-hearted romance about a sarcastic American girl fresh off a bad breakup who goes to Ireland and falls for a famous race car driver “with a bad attitude that rivals her own”…

Beautifully Done by Riley Mackenzie — $0.99 Sale!!

The hero of this book “drives fast, flies high, and screws hard. He learned way too young that we’re all on borrowed time [and] he vows to live for the moment because it’s the only time he owns” … until her. — I’m told to bring tissues!

It’s the second book in the series and is a different couple than the first book but I’m told Book 1 should be read first.

Red Hill by Jamie McGuire — $2.99 Sale!!

Jamie McGuire fans!!! This is on for only $2.99 (regular price $7.59) for a limited time!! It almost never goes on sale and it’s different than my usual kind of read (a story of survival and love in the midst of the zombie apocalypse) but I loved it!!!!

*** RECENT RECOMMENDATIONS & REVIEWS ***

Sociopath by Lime Craven — Recent review!!

This book totally messed with my mind and I still have no idea what to think. It was very well written and downright FASCINATING. It’s a dark romance and some parts did make me uncomfortable but I found myself SO curious about this guy and the way he looked at the world. The pacing is a bit slow, but like I said, I was fascinated by it. It was a MIND FUCK — totally twisted — but how could it not be when the hero of the story literally did. NOT. have. a. conscience. O.O (My review)

 

Bait by M. Mabie — Recent review!!

FUUUUUUUCKKKK!!!! Yes, I’m swearing. I need to. This book put my heart through the wringer. I hated it. I loved it. I hated that I loved it. But I FELT so much for it!!! If you want pure, heart-wrenching, addictive ANGST, then throw your judgments out the window and read this book!!!

Calder & Eden’s intense, passionate, forbidden love story captivated me and had my heart racing from the first word to the very last. 6 STARS!!!! — Click here for FAQs about the series.

 

Gravity by LD Cedergreen — New Recommendation!!

*SOB* This was SUCH a good book! Those emotions just hit me SO strongly!!!! I honestly don’t know how to describe the story without it being misleading because there is a HUGE TWIST that changes EVERYTHING you know!! Like, really — woah!! I’ll admit that I actually knew the twist before I started and there’s hidden spoiler section in my review in case you want to know too. It’s totally unconventional but a really great story!! It started a little bit slow but the impact of the whole story on my heart was just… WOW!! — Read my Review.

 

Stepbrother Dearest by Penelope Ward — Recommendation

I loved this new book!! It hooked me right from the start and I couldn’t put it down til the end!! An angsty, unconventional love story and such a roller coaster!! — It’s a standalone romance. Read my Review 🙂

“You’re the only girl in the entire world that’s forbidden, and fuck me if that doesn’t make me want you more than anything.”

 

Ten Below Zero by Whitney Barbetti — Recommendation!!

This was another winner! It’s about a college girl scarred by an attack who gets a text message one day from a wrong number… from a guy who changes her life. “His name is Everett. He’s pushy, he’s arrogant, he crowds my personal space, and worst of all: he makes me feel… But he’s dying. And he’s spending his final days truly living. He’s forcing me to heal. He completes me. And still, he’s dying.” — (PS: don’t be scared, this is NOT a tragic book. I promise. Read my Review)

 

Deacon (Unfinished Heroes) by Kristen Ashley — Recommendation!!

ALPHA MALE FANS!! I loved this book!! A badass Alpha with a dark past, a strong heroine, and a gorgeous slow-burning love story in the Mountains. Another KA winner and definitely a new favorite!! (Read my Review) It can be read as a standalone, but here are all the books in the series: Knight, Creed, Raid, Deacon

“He looks at you like you’re the only reason he’s still breathing.”

 

Rules of Protection by Alison Bliss — Recommendation!!

LMAO!! This book was hilarious!!! It was a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy between a sassy heroine in Witness Protection and the badass Special Agent assigned to protect her. But when the location of their safe house is compromised, he takes her with him deep in the Texas backwoods to hide…

The banter between these two had me smiling and laughing non-stop. If you’re looking for something FUN, this is it!!! — This is a standalone. Read my Review.

 

Worth The Fall by Claudia Connor — Recommendation!!

I totally LOVED this book! The hero is an injured Navy SEAL vacationing on a beach who falls for a single mom there with her 4 little kids. There’s just something about a big, tough, Alpha man who accepts kids who are not his own into his life with complete openness that is utterly HEART-MELTING!!!

“I will fight for this love. Lie for it. Steal for it. It is worthy of that. I love her completely. She returns the love wildly. This love is worth the unsaid truths. The hidden lies.”

 

Broken by Lauren Layne — Recommendation!! Read my review.

SQUEE!! I loved this!! It was exactly the type of book I wanted now: FUN, SEXY, & HEART WRENCHING with kind of a unique modern-day “Beauty & The Beast” twist to it. It had a brooding, tormented & scarred hero (LOVE those!!) and a strong, sassy heroine who did NOT take any of his shit (LOVE that too!!). Definitely a winner!! And, it can be read as a standalone 😀

A girl with secrets, a guy with scars, and a love that could save them both…
