Pandemonium (MC Sinners Next Generation Book One) By Bella Jewel

Buy Link: Pandemonium

I am the good girl, the one who does no wrong. 
Daughter to a ferocious and strong MC President, I know what protection feels like. 
Until one night changes everything - and not a single person in the world can protect me from it, not even my dad. 
Suffocating. Alone. Desperate. 
I let my problems live deep inside until there is no longer anywhere to run. 
I need an escape. Anything to make the pain go away. 
Trouble comes for me, and I don't fight it. 
I tried so hard to believe in what I was, 
But nobody understood. 
Not until him. Not until Lucas. 
He sees me. He believes in me. 
He refuses to let me drown. 
He’s my way out. My escape. 
But Lucas is forbidden. He’s a cop. I’m in danger. And my father is trying to protect what can’t be protected. 
There can only be one outcome. 
Pandemonium. 

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. 

Now you guys know how much I love Bella Jewel and her MC series. But this one.... This one is going to blow you mind. I didn't even finish the first chapter before I became hooked. 
It will literally blow your mind. 

Ava is the daughter of the president of MC Sinners, you remember Serenity and Jackson, right? 
He's more protective, more fierce and now a father. One who gets caught up in the middle of MC war. Or.... Cartel war. I'm still unsure of all that to be honest. LOL Still, I LOVED the book. 

And Lucas.... I LOVED Lucas. Can you say doppelganger and send me him. 
He's really broody, and has every reason to be. He's been through more than anyone person should. It broke my heart because I could feel everything he felt. 
The story is written in Ava's POV of present, and Lucas's past POV, and the two POV's end up meeting together. 
It's brilliantly written and well thought out. I couldn't have asked to read a better start to a series. Bella Jewel has some work cut out for her to beat this one, but we all know she will. :) 

The book is everything Bella Jewel and you will love the new generation series. The only one fault I had, but it's nothing to do with Bella's writing, was Ava's addiction to drink and drugs. She didn't seem like the person to become addicted, to depend on something that could hurt her long term. That part of her character I disliked. 
But how she found the strength to pull through, to pull herself out, that was incredible to read. Most people don't realise how easy it is to become reliant on something some people can give or take. But it's the struggle those go through to come off that poison that is the hardest. You have to find the strength inside you that you never thought you had and fight every second, every minute, every day. It's about determination, and although some can stand up and say, I'd never get addicted, some people don't have that luxury and reading Ava pull herself out of that was pretty freaking amazing.   

Amazing 5 freaking stars *****

Persuasion By Violetta Rand

Buy Link: Persuasion

Lang Anderson may be the new leader of the Sons of Odin motorcycle club, but his personal life is in shreds. He’s struggling to take care of his three young sisters in the wake of tragedy, while rumors of drug dealing within his ranks jeopardize everything he’s built. The last thing he needs is another distraction—like a bar brawl over a woman—but Lang is a sucker for a damsel in distress. And this one gets him roaring like a finely tuned engine.

High school guidance counselor Lily Gallo is no fender bunny. So why can’t she get Lang off her mind? Lily’s head says the rugged, rough-and-tumble biker who came to her aid is bad news. Her body begs to differ. But when Lang’s troubled kid sister walks into her office, Lily’s determined to help, even if it puts her in the crossfire of a gang war. On a crash course with danger and desire, Lily partners up with Lang to fight for his family—and for love.

Lang is the new leaders of the Sons of Odin. He's been looking after his three sister after he lost his parents. 
The club isn't the normal MC club that we normally read about. There isn't any of that angst drama. It made the book dull in places. 
Lily on the other hand is the complete opposite to Lang and hasn't seen the life he has. She knows next to nothing about the real world around her, and was quite naive at times.
When she finds out she's the counselor to Lang's eldest sister, she feels determined to help. Whether it's to continue seeing Lang again. I don't know. 

I enjoyed the book, but it wasn't the best MC book and I found the writing lacked somewhat. 
I think it's because there's such a huge variety of MC books, it's hard to compete. You really have to push yourself.

Hiding Out (Hawks MC: Caroline Springs Charter #2) By Lila Rose

Buy Link: Hiding out

What do you do when someone you trust threatens to sell you into slavery? Find the perfect place to hide out. 

Destitute and apathetic from the loss of her parents, Willow Demora is forced to accept any help thrown her way. Unfortunately, the only person willing to help is her cousin, a cousin who doesn't have a good bone in his body, and would do anything to stay out of the trouble he's in.

Hawks MC enforcer, Trey “Dodge” Monroe is a renowned hard-arse, now living in Caroline Springs. There are only a few brothers he trusts with his life. The rest have to gain his respect while they learn not to screw with him, especially when he finds Willow and discovers he’s willing to do anything he can to save her.

Even if it means he gives up his man-card, like the other love-sick members he's laughed at in the past, he’s ready to give it all.

I received an ARC of Hiding out in exchange for an honest review..... 

My God, Lila Rose get's better and better with each book. I'm not even kidding. I absolutely fell in love with Dodge. Behind all that hard ass exterior, he's one loyal, loveable character. I freaking loved him. 

Willow, is a whole new character all on her own. She has her own kind of sass, and is not afraid of Dodge like many others are. 
When she's forced to run from her own family she ends up in the garage of the MC. 
Her life has been hard. She's not had much luck when it comes to family, so being accepted into Hawks so easily and treated like family was really hard on her. 
She heard their stories and felt their pain and didn't want to trouble them. Not when they've just got their lives back together. But what Willow doesn't know is, once Hawks takes you in, there's no way out. 

We also see a lot of the Hawks characters. Julian being one of them. But also, the other Hawks MC members that have moved to Caroline Springs. Lila splitting up the MC has made it all the more interesting. 

I'm also looking forward to Saxon and Narys book. I have been since we met them both in Stokes book. I hope we hear more about the aftermath of the shooting. I want to read the angst there that Saxon and all of them went through. How they kept themselves together.
They're relationship is mentioned a few times during the book and it's made me more and more interested. I love them both, but there's a deeper reason as to why Saxon won't date Nary and I don't think it has anything to do with Stoke. 

I did feel the ending was a little rushed, but I expect we'll see more of the characters and story line in other books to come. Lila has a way of making you crave the next book in the series. I cannot wait to read the next book in the new spin off series. 

Don't miss out on this series. Holding Out is the first book in the series where we meet most of the characters. 
I don't think anyone could beat this series.
I don't mind the usual rugged biker, who deal guns and drugs, but to me, they've got no sense of respect like the Hawks MC.

Hawks MC is literally about BROTHERHOOD, loyalty, family, and protecting those dearest to them. Lila can honestly make the same rugged character, who kills to protect, has had a dark past or s***ty hand in life, and give them a whole Hero persona. She's really gifted at what she does and I respect her a hell of a lot for what she brings to life for us readers.
Truly amazing.

Merry Blissmas (Biker bitches #3) By Jamie Begley

Buy Link: Merry Blissmas

Naughty 
What can I say? I’m not a nice person. When I walk by, people call me a slut, and I’m okay with that. I believe in calling a spade a spade. I am a slut. 

With the holidays approaching, I miss belonging to The Last Riders. Drake’s keeping me warm, but he wants more than I can give. He wants me to trust him, to believe he can protect me. Doesn’t he know Santa put me on the Naughty List long ago? 

Nice 
What can I say? I’m a nice guy and have always done the responsible thing. 

Bliss is everything I shouldn’t want, but it’s hard to resist a woman who stopped believing in miracles. She wants to be back with The Last Riders, whom she considers her true family. Doesn’t she know it’s Christmas, and miracles do happen? 

As much as I hated Bliss in the other Last Rider novels, I knew this book would be good. 
We get to see Bliss differently. Not as the bitch everyone sees her as. She is actually pretty awesome and her heart is huge. We also finally understand her fixation on Shade, and it isn't what we all believed it to be. 
Her past defined her, a lot. She wouldn't be who she was if it wasn't for her upbringing. How she survived, or lived through any of what she lived, is shocking. No wonder she was the way she was. 

Not only that, but my God, Drake is hotter than he was made out to be in the other books. Not only that but the Porters are also crazy LOL This novel proved that. I loved their humor, and Drake's domineering personality. He was so goddamn sexy it drove me insane.  
I honestly don't think Jamie can go wrong with her books LOL 

The only downfall was the ending. I would have liked to see more of Bliss as the person she was towards the end of the book. I found she had become who she really was the one. Throughout the book she always held back. Up until the end. I just wish it was longer. 
I would have also liked to have seen more come of Drake's ex wife. Seen her stir some trouble. Or what not. But after a stern warning, we never see her again. It was a shame. She had the potential to make the book more interesting.

I cannot wait to read more from her. She did Bliss proud. 
So I will say, don't let Bliss' actions from previous books prevent you from reading Merry Blissmas. I know a lot of readers said they didn't like her enough to read her book. That what she did was unforgiveable. But in a way, I think Bliss redeems herself. It also helps us understand her more. 
More importantly, it shows the loyalty the Last Riders have to one of their own. Even if she was kicked out.

Walk through Fire (The Chaos Series Book 4) By Kristen Ashley

Buy Link: Walk Through Fire

Millie Cross knows what it's like to burn for someone. She was young and wild and he was fierce and even wilder-a Chaos biker who made her heart pound. They fell in love at first sight and life was good, until she learned she couldn't be the woman he needed and made it so he had no choice but to walk away. Twenty years later, Millie's chance run-in with her old flame sparks a desire she just can't ignore. And this time, she won't let him ride off . . . 

Bad boy Logan "High" Judd has seen his share of troubles with the law. Yet it was a beautiful woman who broke him. After ending a loveless marriage, High is shocked when his true love walks back into his life. Millie is still gorgeous, but she's just a ghost of her former self. High's intrigued at the change, but her betrayal cut him deep-and he doesn't want to get burned again. As High sinks into meting out vengeance for Millie's betrayal, he'll break all over again when he realizes just how Millie walked through fire for her man . . .

This story is beyond anything I had believed it would be.... 
So many people have commented on KA's work not being the same, and I have to agree. But Walk through Fire is just what we expect from KA. It was brilliant and exciting read. 

Yeah, I was annoyed at how High treated her. Never asking her questions or wanting answers. And I found myself annoyed with Millie too. She was letting him punish her for something that didn't deserve to be punished. In the end Millie gave him the world. 

Millie and High fell in love at such a young age and straight away. They were inseparable. He was her first and only everything. 
When something unexpected comes to life for Millie she breaks things off and breaks High's heart, knowing it was the only way he would leave. But to me, High didn't fight for her. He should have. That was another thing that annoyed me. 

Years, and I mean, years later they both end up back in each others lives and High isn't happy. He wants to get revenge, destroy Millie. But what he doesn't realize is, is that Millie has been destroying herself for years already. She hasn't let herself live since she let High walk out their life. 

All together the story was great. Loved it. And feel like we've got our KA back. Can't wait to read more from the series.

The Secrets out (Hawks MC #1: Caroline Springs Charter) By Lila Rose

LINK COMING SOON

Moving to Melbourne for university, Josie Alexander knew the transition would be hard. She didn’t realise just how difficult it’d be until things turn ugly. Damaged by a past that leaves her struggling with physical contact, her brave move to start afresh, soon turns into a nightmare.

Afraid and vulnerable, Josie’s fragile independence threatens to unravel around her. That is until the two men who refuse to leave her thoughts show up in Melbourne. 

Caden Adams, “Pick” to his biker brethren, has had a hard life. His only light is Josie, who he loses when she leaves Ballarat for Melbourne. Dealing with day to day life without his heart is hard, especially with the darkness threatening to consume him. When MC President, Talon, informs him that Josie’s in trouble, he’s determined to make sure he’s there to protect her. Only, he won’t be doing it alone. 

Eli “Billy the Kid” Walker has never experienced love, not even from those who should have cared the most. Only Josie and Caden have ever come close to infiltrating his hardened heart. With Josie gone, he pushes Caden away, unwilling to take a risk, even if it’s something he wants. 

When given with the opportunity to prove to each other how they really feel, will they all be able to have the courage to fight for what their hearts desire? Above all else, will they survive the fallout when their secret’s out?

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. 

Josie is the girl the Hawk MC rescued from Zara's ex husband, who abused Josie and made her call him Daddy. 

Very disturbing. 

Josie still isn't over the time spent with him, and although I would have liked more about the time before her time with him, it didn't ruin the flow. She's very shy, timid, and scared at a simple touch, more when it's male. She's also very strong, independent and when everything is done and settled she's a little minx. I loved her character.  

So when she moves off to college, her roommate motivates her to move forward, to live. But when that turns into her dating, and it turning on her, she's then forced to live a year in hell. Where Cameron, the lad she was dating starts tormenting her, scaring her, stalking her, but it's not only him, but all of his friends as well. 

Insert HAWKS finest, Billy and Pick, AKA Eli and Caden. Caden has his own dark past, which broke my heart. He's got such a huge one, and now I can understand why he did what he did in book one. I always wanted to understand him more, and now I do. Still, with everything that happened to him, he still made room for love. And LOVE he did. 

Eli on the other hand is complete opposite to Caden. He's hot headed, short tempered, and loves to party. 

Lila still keeps her humor in the book, but I have to admit, this one is different from all of the other books. The emotion throughout the book is strong, and during the end, it explodes and you'll be ugly crying. 

Yes, UGLY crying. 

I wasn't sure how Lila was going to pull this off when I first read she was writing a book with the three of them. I thought, Oh no, this is going to end badly and one is going to get hurt. Never did I realize, the three loved each other impeccably. It wasn't just their love for Josie or her love for them, but their love for each other. It was strong, it was true, and it couldn't be broken or torn a part. 

There is a few HUGE twists in the story that I never saw coming that had me jumping in my seat. Nothing, and I mean nothing, to me, could beat Lila's Hawks MC. Her talent for writing is truly a gift and I will never get bored of reading her work. 

Every person has different tastes, different genre they prefer to read, but to me Lila brings out everything I love in a book. 

I can't wait to read more in the series, and check out the new subtitle. It looks like we'll be seeing more from the Caroline Springs charter. I just hope we get to see the old characters. I'm really looking forward to Saxon's book, especially after reading this beauty. 

5 amazing, flipping stars. 

Lila Rose, I say this from the bottom of my heart, be proud of your work. Good or bad reviews, know, that your work is worth reading, your stories are worth telling, and that your giving readers a gift with each book you publish. Keep up the good work. xx

Arrow's Hell (Wind Dragons MC #2) By Chantal Fernando

Buy Link: Arrow's Hell

Being the younger sister of a Wind Dragons MC member isn’t as great as you’d think it would be.

I can’t escape the details of my brother’s exploits. No one tells me anything. Men who know who I am tend to stay away from me.

And worst of all: the members of the MC are off-limits.

When Arrow catches my eye, I make it my mission to make him happy again.

When I fall head over heels in love with him, I just hope he will be there to catch me. And that my brother doesn’t kill him…

I received an ARC of Arrow's Hell by NETGALLEY 

I loved Arrow in the first one. He was one of my favourite characters. For some reason though I always saw him as an older man, aging, etc, but he's far from old and unfit, trust me. I don't know why I just did. It's been long since I read the first one, so I could have just been remembering another book I'd read, but him cooking naked took me back to thinking it. 

I liked Anna and Arrow together, but being totally honest, I didn't really get that love connection. When she confesses her undying love for him I felt it, but looking back I can't see where it came from, or what gave it her because there hadn't been much of an interaction to warrant it. Still didn't put me off the book. As a younger sister, newly, to the MC, she's still getting to know the way they live. But her smart mouth, sassy attitude, and her determination catch the eye of Arrow, who she brings out of his misery of a life. He holds a lot of guilt towards Mary, the death of one of the clubs women who he loved and feels like it's him that killed her. I could see her fascination with him, he's so broody, good looking, and closed off. 

Chantal has a little twist up her sleeve in the book, one you will NOT see coming. It shocked the shit into me. Once it started to come out I knew right away what was about to be said. Still, I gasped. It was so shocking. 

All in all the story is brilliant and well written. I had hoped for a little more, but with Trackers book next I'll have to wait. 

4.5*

I will comment, although this is an ARC, the price of the book is £7.03 (At time of posting this review) I usually purchase ARC that I enjoy on E-book or Paperback, but at this price I can't afford that.

Ride steady ( The Chaos series Book Three) By Kristen Ashley

Buy Link: Ride Steady

Once upon a time, Carissa Teodoro believed in happy endings. Money, marriage, motherhood: everything came easy–until she woke up to the ugly truth about her Prince Charming. Now a struggling single mom stranded by flat tire, Carissa’s pondering her mistake when a vaguely familiar knight rides to her rescue on a ton of horsepower. 
In high school, Carson Steele was a bad boy loner who put Carissa on a pedestal where she stayed far beyond his reach. Today, he’s the hard-bodied biker known only as Joker, and from the way Carissa’s acting, it’s clear she’s falling fast. While catching her is irresistible, knowing what to do with her is a different story. A good girl like Carissa is the least likely fit with the Chaos Motorcycle Club. Too bad holding back is so damned hard. Now, as Joker’s secrets are revealed and an outside threat endangers the club, Joker must decide whether to ride steady with Carissa–or ride away forever…

I received an ARC of Ride Steady from Netgalley...... 

I LOVE Kristen Ashley. 
Like all OF her work. 
Not one book I've rated lower than a 3*. And what I love most is her men. No one can beat her hot, alpha males. Carson is no different, I LOVED him. 

This book holds so much truth it's unbelievable. Not many couples stay together when they have a baby or when they're married. It's like they say: you have to kiss a lot of toads before you kiss you're frog. Its the way I see Kristen Ashley's books. All her female characters have given themselves up to a man, and found it wasn't the one they were destined to be with. It proves my theory with the whole frog part, because as soon as they meet one of KA's men they go ga-ga for them. Which, I would totally do the same. 
I loved her little lad, he was so freaking adorable and I could honestly connect to her as a mother. 
Her ex husband is a complete ass. He stops her from breastfeeding cause of it being inconvenient for him, he cheats then moves his mistress in, then getting engaged before the divorce papers are signed. 
I felt so sorry for her because all she wanted was to be a wife and a mother. She was so perfect for it too. 
As soon as she meets Carson, who she already knew but didn't know it, her ex husband starts showing interest again, making her life and their little boys hell.

Carson has changed who he is. He runs from home at eighteen I think it was, before he finished school anyway. But he leaves to find himself, to get away from his abusive father. 
Years later he comes back as Joker, not as Carson. He pulls over on the side of the road to help a woman in need, Carissa, and he's disappointed when Carissa doesn't recognize him. 

I loved all the other characters and it was great seeing all the others and how they brought Carissa into the fold so easily, making her come out of her shell. It's what true friends are and for people who didn't know her, they took her in just like that. 

The story flows really easily, but I have to say I was disappointed with the ending in a way. I expected more drama, more action, just more...
I was hoping her ex husband would be out of the picture by the end of the book, but it all ends differently than I anticipated. 

In all I rate the book 4* 

Coming out (Hawks MC Novella) By Lila Rose

Buy Link: Coming out

Living a lie, Matthew ‘Mattie’ Alexander is exhausted. It’s not easy to keep up the pretence, the deceit, but it’s safer. Coming out to a world that so easily hates takes a courage he’s yet to find, so he pretends – pretends to be into women – pretends to love being a part of the university’s football team. It keeps him safe, hidden. 

Until he meets Julian. 

From the moment they first meet, Mattie knows life is about to change. He’s yet to determine if it is for the better or worse. Living life through laughter, Julian is lonely. Without the jokes, the humour, he would be living on the edge of depression. Succumbing to his controlling father’s demands, Julian finds no joy in the path laid out before him. 

Until he meets Mattie. 

As soon as they cross paths, Mattie has the power to drive Julian’s man parts crazy with lust. But can lust be enough to help Mattie out of the closet, and guide Julian into a happier place? 

Limits will be pushed. Rules will be broken. But it’s only together, that they will have the strength to overpower fear, fear of themselves and fear of others. Just how far are they willing to go in the aim of coming out?

I've not read any M/M romance novels. I've read M/F/M, but never M/M and believe me when I tell you this book is the fucking shit. 
It's so freaking hot it's unbelievable. 
Julian is one of my favourite characters from the Hawks MC series, and in Black out we see a side to Julian that is tortured, pained and so freaking traumatized that it breaks your heart. But no one knows exactly what he went through.
I honestly thought back when he first came into the series it was just his parents not accepting him being gay but it's more than that. My God is it more than that. 
I don't want to give too much away, but his father and mother are completely sick in the head. Not only did they not accept Julian, a caring, loyal, wonderful, beautiful, caring man, but they tortured him throughout his whole life. Even at the age of thirty something does his father still control his life, beating him, telling him how to act, where to work. 
It's how he meets Mattie. His father makes him a masseur for a local football team where Mattie plays. I think he did it more so the players could make Julian feel like shit, maybe even hit him. It backfired somewhat, even though there were a few players who were complete jackasses about him being gay, there were a few who didn't care. Mattie being one of them because as soon as he looked at Julian he knew, he knew he was the one. 
You see, Mattie has been struggling with being gay. He's hidden it well and the only person to ever know how he truly feels is his ex girlfriend who he confided in. 
Anyway, Julian has had a pretty shit life and this book really tore me apart. His own flesh and blood sent him to his grandfathers knowing he would be beaten and raped. It's how his father managed to control him for so long, he threatened to send Julian's cousin who is barely a teenager to him. He didn't want that, so he listened to his father. 

The sex scenes in the book, the seduction, OH MY GOD, it was off the charts HOT!!!!! No book has ever been this hot and I swear, Mattie and Julian could turn the straightest of men gay with this book. They make everything so erotic, it's sexy as hell. 

Overall, because I don't want to give anything away, the book is seriously brilliant and so worth the read. Lila Rose always does this for me, but this book is something else all together. It's different from the other books and to see both Mattie and Julian in different lights was amazing. It really made me think about other couples in their situation and if they've gone through the same thing. I know there are still people out there against gay relationships, but for me, you love who you love and one day I pray that people will get over it and see past two men or two women together and see the love they share for each other. This book is a great example. Mattie's parents, straight off the bat, and the word I'm gay, were so supportive of him. They didn't make a big deal, or get mad, they said okay you like cock, bla bla, and that was it, they just made sure he knew they loved him no matter what. It was so emotional I had to try and stop myself from balling like a baby. 

The ending to the story is what really through me the loop. I'm not sure whether I got what was happening right or not, so I will ask Lila when I next speak to her, but let me tell you, either way, it's one hell of an ending for their book. I seriously couldn't stop the tears from falling I was that happy for them. 

5* and if I could, I'd give her more than 5 because this book deserves so much praise. It was really good start to finish. 

Stand off (Predators MC book Two) By Jamie Begley

Buy Link: Stand Off

One mistake can change your life forever.
Casey had spent most of her life watching the Predators control Queen City, never believing they could be brought to justice. She was the one who always passed unnoticed as Max’s stepsister. They underestimated what she was capable of until it was almost too late. When the Predators discovered they were her prey, there was hell to pay, and Casey was going to have to pay her dues with her soul.

One mistake can fuck up your life forever.
Max trusted his stepsister, not believing for a second she would betray the Predators. She used her body to get what she wanted, and now Max would use the same wiles on her to trap Casey in her own web of deceit. The Predators demanded revenge, and Max was going to see they got what they wanted, even if the price was his soul.

This was one standoff neither was going to win

This is the second book in the predators MC and it didn't disappoint. I was a little unsure at first because of the blurb. I mean, they were step-brother and sister, how could this end any good without being classed as incest. But I was so wrong. They aren't even related. They are only brother and sister through marriage which made me relax LOL.

Casey has a secret, one she wants to protect and one she will fight and give her life for. She proves that when she goes up against the Predators. She sleeps with Max to distract him, to get close enough to get information to close the club down. 
I got confused on a few parts, first one where was where she had sex, was that her first time? She hinted it was, that Max wasn't just her first kiss, but then when they were having sex it was never mentioned. Surely she would have felt pain when they had sex for the first time? Especially when he has piercing through his dooh darh. 

The story continues when the Predators find out what she's up to and want revenge. Only, they play her at her own game and use Max to do it. He grows close to her, but is it all for show?
Gah, I really liked the two together, and although I was reading it from the outside I didn't like they were going to pass her around the club. They would really do that to a young girl? But then the ending happened and I got so confused on my feelings for the club. I love it when clubs are good, like they do bad stuff but when it comes to loyalty, respect to women, they are good. 

The story gripped me from start to finish and I loved it. 

Another 5* for Jamie Begley. 

Desolation (Jokers Wrath MC #4) By Bella Jewel

Buy Link: Desolation

Pippa. 

The girl you all know as damaged. Quiet. Broken. 

She doesn’t fit in. Nothing in her world feels right. She’s trapped in a spiral of darkness that seems to be consuming her day by day, until she sees nothing but an empty, black hole. 

Her world is a broken place she can’t escape. 

She has people around her who matter. Who love her. But it’s not enough. Not enough to break her out of the bitter despair she lives in. 

Until Tyke. 

He knows pain. He knows darkness. He’s sweet. He’s kind. But most of all… 

He understands her. 

Combining their demons doesn’t seem like the best plan. Everyone is against them. He deserves better. She deserves better. They’ll never work. They’re too broken. Too damaged. It’s a destructive combination that will only end in heartbreak. 

He’s a biker. She’s a broken angel. 

But in their desolation, they will find peace. 

With each other.

I received Desolation as an ARC in exchange for an honest review. 

Bloody hell, I feel like I've waited so long to get my eyes on this book. 
Desolation is the fourth and final book into the Jokers Wrath series which is really depressing as I THOUGHT everyone was getting a book. But wait!! Hold that thought, certain characters are getting a book, but it will be another series or standalone. 

Back to the story. 
Pippa, we meet Pippa when Santana and the Jokers Wrath MC go find her where she's been kept as a slave for years, been starved and treated poorly. Santana never knew where he sister was taken and for Pippa, she never knew the reason as to why she was sold. Or if her sister was alive. 

In this book Pippa is still struggling to come to terms with everyday life. Even down to ordering food, or using a phone she finds it hard to do. Which is understandable after being kidnapped for most of her childhood. Before that she was living on the streets, before that she was been beaten and worse by her foster parent. She really hadn't had the best upbringing or luck in life. Her spirit just seemed to have broken or died. There just seemed to be no fight in her. After years of fighting to stay alive it just seemed weird she would feel the way she did about being free. I mean, wasn't that what she was fighting for?
I love Pippa's character though, I have from the beginning and when I found out Tyke and her were getting their own book I jumped for joy.

Tyke in this novel seemed to change a lot through out. One minute he's the biker I know him to be, the caring, kind, hard, rugged, kind man, but then at times he seemed too much, especially for someone like Pippa. 
Like their first time together, it didn't seem something she deserved, or the way the Tyke I come to read would give it to her. He didn't seem understanding at times. 

Anyway, the book is brilliant, we got to see Tyke bring out the best in Pippa, bring the life into her again and for Pippa to make a friend. 
The two form a bond from the very beginning, but in this novel they become so much more than friends. At times I thought Tyke only saw her as a broken angel, but then he sings this song and it completely changed my mind. 

Two new characters are brought into the book, one we don't know a lot about or why he is there, but still, I can't wait to know if he's got a story coming because I liked him. 
Then there is Rainer, who I freaking adored from the get go. He's another slave that was there with Pippa, he was attached to her from the minute he was brought in and he didn't seem to like her. But then they are faced with cleaning up a murder that their capture done and the two bonded when Rainer held Pippa from breaking down. After all, the rules were if one steps out of line, the two attached both die. I loved him. 
I read the ending of the book where we get a glimpse into Rainer's book and I have to say, I'm excited as hell to read his. Loved him. 

The ending to this book near about killed me. I have never cried so much in my life. I literally balled my eyes out over it it killed me that much. I don't want to ruin it or even hint about what it is, but I will say it affects EVERYONE. It really killed me.

Shade (The Last Riders #6) By Jamie Begley

Buy Link: Shade

Want, need, pain, and joy were emotions Shade had never known existed before Lily. He knew the first time he saw her face that she was going to change his life forever. The thing he hadn’t expected was how hard it would be to hide who and what he was from her. Each step he took out of the shadows revealed more of himself, until only one secret remained. Shade arrogantly believed he could help heal the wounds from her past, but now it was his own past that was trying to tear them apart. To keep Lily, Shade would have to use the very skills he had been trying to hide from her. The skills that made him a killer … a soulless monster. 

First off, I wasn't sure if I'd get into this book as I presumed from what other reviews said it was going over what had already happened. But.... with Shade and Lilly being my favourite character I decided to read it anyway. 

And holy hell am I glad I did. 
Shade is so much more than rehashing over the last books. It has you seeing things the other books missed. We see all the manipulating Shade really did to get Lilly and how he manipulated her. In a good way of course. 

I loved the book and although it's really long and did take me nearly four days to complete, I loved every minute of it.

scenes like Lily's birth, and the dealing with Evie's evil twin sister is all in here. It's why this book NEEDS to be read. It's one that shouldn't be missed. 
I honestly couldn't believe how it all ended and believe me when I tell you I want to read more from these characters :( 

The only character I don't like barr Evie's sister is Bliss. For some reason she gets on my nerves. I don't class any of the girls in the book sluts apart from her for some reason. The others do it simply for sex, to have fun, and do something they enjoy and not be judged, but Bliss, she was a slut. She would have gone with Razer knowing he had a wife and kids on the way, she kept trying to go with Shade behind Lilly's back and then when she has a show down with Lilly it really got my back up. 
It was the night Razor used her to get Beth to forget about him. In the first book when she's released from hospital and goes straight to the club house to find Razor all over Bliss that did it for me. I disliked her during the other books but reading Shade is like reading behind the scenes. She not only went back up to the room with Razor but she was willing to carry it further knowing it was really just a way to get shot of Beth and keep her safe. 
The same when she tried to talk Shade out of being with Lilly. It really got to me. As you can tell by my ranting LOL 

However, it was the ending that did it for me. I don't want to ruin it, but I got more than I bargained for. Just whatever you do, MAKE sure you read the epilogue. I cried so hard. It was so romantic, so sweet, and something I'd totally want in my life. I'm getting choked up thinking about how they met, about their journey and about Lilly's to where they got to in the end for them to be together. Ahhhhhh, Jamie Begley really did well writing this book. For some reason i have a feeling this is the last book :( But I'm sure I read somewhere that bliss dies. I don't think that can be right as she's there in the epilogue. 
I also wanted Lucky with Willa, Train with Killyama (Sorry about spelling) and Rider with someone. I honestly want more ....

Anywhooooo, 5* from me. Jamie did a fantastic job going over each book, never wavering from the story line. It must have took some time for her to complete this book and I have to give her huge credit for it, because she did it brilliantly. 

well done.

Angels MC: Guardian Angel (Angels Halo MC #3) By Terri Anne Browning

Buy Link: Angels MC: Guardian Angel

Things in Creswell Springs have been quiet lately. Or so it appears. 

Appearances can be deceiving. 


The night I met Gracie Morgan was the night that my life changed forever. I saved her that night, but it feels like she’s been the one saving me ever since. 
--Hawk 
Hawk didn’t just save me that night. He took me home with him and his family made me one of their own. I felt safe with them and quickly began to fall for the man that was my Guardian Angel. 
--Gracie 


The events of that night have not faded from anyone’s memory. The Angel’s Halo MC delivered their own vengeance against the guys that had hurt Gracie, and the ones that just stood by and did nothing. But they didn’t realize they were dealing with a sociopath like Kevin Samson. Now no one was safe… 

I can't believe I didn't know this was released. A book as good as this is usually plastered all over Facebook or other blogs, but I didn't see this until it came up on Amazon. I was extremely annoyed I didn't see it, so I could read it sooner. 

I've been waiting for this novel to be released for what feels like forever. 

And I wasn't disappointed. 

I've been waiting for Gracie and Hawk's from the very first time we meet them. He's so cute with her. 

I have to admit this book has a lot more going on and I found myself enjoying it more. I also didn't get confused on who was talking as it was labelled this time. which made it easier to follow. 

I love how more secrets are coming out, more twists and more books. I really enjoy reading about this group of characters and can't wait for the next one. Hopefully next time I'm not out of the loop on the release day LOL

Best Angel's Halo book so far....

No way out (Hawks MC #4) By Lila Rose

Link coming soon 

Trapped in a marriage since the age of twenty-one, Malinda May is finally free. Having lost her biker husband, she is determined to keep her two teenage children as far away from the MC lifestyle as possible, a lifestyle which has brought her nothing but heartache and fear.

Life is never that simple.

Relentless in their mission to prove to Malinda that not all bikers are bad, the Hawks’ women are determined to support Malinda and her family, whether she wants it or not. In her struggle to keep her distance, Malinda soon battles her desire to keep her family safe or relent and begin to trust the MC.

Tired of women and their mind games, Declan Stoke knows women are only good for keeping his bed warm for a night. Having once thought he’d found the one, he’s no longer willing to put his heart on the line. Even when faced with the temptation of a wounded, sexy woman, he steers clear…well, tries to.

Malinda and Stoke find themselves at an impasse, one seemingly impossible to navigate through. With trouble brewing, life is going to get complicated, and for Malinda, she’s trapped with no way out.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. 
It's books like this I feel privileged to read because they could be bought without reading reviews in advance. They are that good. 

I literally started this and didn't want to put it down. As it always is Julian is my favourite character. 

Julian gasped. Wow, oh wow. Hell mouth I think we just found your granny.''

To know just how funny this one liner is you'll need to buy the book. Trust me, Lila's work just gets better and better each time. It's funnier, sexier and more action to keep you on your toes.

Malinda is trapped in a loveless marriage and although some may ask why she stayed and put up with it, I can see why. She loves her kids and wanted... no thought she was giving them a family they deserved. What she didn't know was their father was hurting them just as much.
When he dies she meets the Hawks MC, and doesn't warm up to them until she meets Julian, who brings her into the fold (pussy brigade) and soften her up towards the bikers.
They never had any clue of what they're brother was into behind they're backs, or that he even had a wife and kids, so when they meet Malinda, they are kind of blindsided.

After Matty gives Malinda his number the day they invite her to the MC cook out, so they can show her bikers aren't all the same, he's surprised to get a call informing him she's in danger. 
Income stoke....
After being burnt already he isn't ready for another relationship. That is until he meets Malinda and all bets are off. 

He not only becomes apart of her life, but a part of her kids too, and forms strong bonds with them. I really enjoyed the book. It always had something going on which I loved. It made it impossible to put down. 
I think Stoke can be added to my top ten of book boyfriends, because something about a man taking on someone elses kids as his own is hot!!! 

Can't wait for the next one Lila has in-store for us. She's such a talented and amazing writer it's hard not to fall in love with her characters. 

I honestly rate her work high up with Kristen Ashley because no one can beat them in writing. Okay.... Maybe Bella Jewel..... or Jamie Begley. No one can write MC novels like those bunch of talented authors.  
5 amazing, well worth it *****

Finding out #2.5 Hawks MC by Lila Rose

Buy Link: Finding out

In a moment of weakness, Ivy Morrison tells a lie, a lie which will leave her scrambling for a solution and quick. The perfect solution comes well-packaged in the form of broody and sinfully sexy Fox Kilpatrick, courtesy of Find Your Soul Mate online dating service. Desperate times is most definitely a call for desperate measures. With no other choice, Ivy convinces passionate yet possessive Fox to help her in her time of need. 

Fox 'Killer' Kilpatrick is still caught up in his past, a past of anger and death, which his biker brothers desperately want him to recover from. Losing a bet, Killer finds himself on a blind date with Ivy, the woman who is set to turn his world upside down. 

Following your heart is never easy, neither is following an unknown path, but finding out may just be worth the journey to possibility. Only together, will Ivy and Killer discover if it was worth the risk after all.

Gah, holy hell. 
I am going to try to take my time writing this review so I don't misspell anything LOL, oh who am I kidding? I'm going to rant until I probably spell my own name wrong. 

Firstly, I just want to point out that I HATE novella's. I never feel they're enough in a novella to be classed as a story or for someone to really write a review. I never get a grasp. 
Finding out had me doing a one 80. I couldn't put the bloody thing down. It was perfect. It hadn't been rushed, or cramped into it, it was written out beautifully. It honestly felt like I had read a full novel with what had happened in it. Nothing felt rushed, over done, or I felt like I was missing something. I didn't want it to end, but then I got so much from such a short book. It says on Amazon it's only 77 pages, but I can honestly tell you it felt like more to me. I really got to experience it like I had read a full novel. 

I loved Ivy.... 
Loved her attitude, her friendships and the way she acts around hot people, especially Fox. She's a real character and so glad Lila brought her into the series, we needed someone like her in it. 
She makes friends with hell mouth, wild cat and Jullian really quickly which is just perfect, anyone who doesn't get on with them then you know nothing is going to work out lol. 
When I read her meeting up for online dating, I honestly said out loud 'that's a disaster waiting to happen' knowing about a lot of creepers out there. But when she meets Fox, gets all tongue tied and shit, I loved it. I was like 'awe'. 
Now Fox, he went on the date because of losing a bet, which now meeting Ivy he's thankful for. I honestly loved them together. 
I also loved how protective he was when they go to her cousins wedding. He defends her in front of them all. It was so sweet. 

Also, like ALL Lila Rose books, it has some hot sex scenes in. Trust me, there's one in this that will blow your panties off. So hot. 

Another well earned 5* for Lila.
