Dawn's Review

When I had finished the first book I was sorta of shocked that it left me on a cliff. I knew this was a series, I just didn't realize that the first 2 books would be Cade and Indy's. Actually book 1 is their love story and this one , this is about revenge and the love shared between friends and family as well as Cade and Indy. 
I am truly enjoying this series! 
The past is not Cade's friend. First he has to face the past mistakes he made with Indy and now he is facing someone with a personal vendetta against his club. The drama is definitely a big draw for me to this series. You never quite know what is going to happen next. Cade, suffers a loss so profound that it almost causes him his beloved Indy. But Indy, she is not so quick to give up and will go to the ends of the earth for Cade. With the danger amping up Cade is beside himself with keeping Indy safe. He goes as far as crushing Indy again with his devastating act of betrayal. Only this time Indy knows he is trying to send her away and is not letting that happen. 
This story has betrayal, sexiness in spades and love. Not just the love of a man and woman, but the love shared between family and friends. It was really heartbreaking to read Cade's feelings with he loses Issac. When Indy is with Maribelle and tragedy strikes after the exciting new, man that was gripping!  
Wonderfully written, an easy ready and a really great series, that keeps me coming back for 
more.

What I have been reading and doing .

Hello all! I just thought I would take a second and show you a little bit of what I have or am in the process of reading.  I usually read 2 books at a time, 1 digital and 1 print book.  I am a marathon bath taker, it one of my great loves. Just soaking in bubbles, relaxation and reading, my slice of heaven.


I attended the 5th and last Holiday's with The Belle's book signing here in Dallas February 9th. I have been a volunteer for this signing every year and I LOVE attending this event. It is fabulous and the most organized signing I have ever attended. I had the pleasure of working with Adriana Locke for the day she is so very lovely.  I highly recommend if you can attend a Belle's signing, do it and it will sell out.

Attending authors and my hull.

I also scored HUGE at the flagship Half Price Books here in Dallas. ALL THIS KRISTEN ASHLEY, and yes I bought it all. A friend of mine found these for me and they are signed. The French versions of Rock Chick and Rock Chick Rescue

Lastly, we finally got around to folding the book my daughter got me for Christmas. I LOVE it. 

Now, here is a look at what I have been reading or have read, enjoy

Izzy White knows of the darkness in this world. After all, she escaped it long ago. Determined not to let her past beat her, Izzy has a secure, stable life with a job she loves in nursing. But one act of kindness will completely upend everything she's so carefully built-putting her right back in the crosshairs of danger she's been so desperate to avoid. 

When Theo Kane shows up like a knight in shining armor, Izzy can't help thinking she's been saved from one threat and exposed to another. His imposing physique, the harsh lines of his face, and the wariness of everyone who comes close are just a few clues to Theo Kane's notorious reputation. The man is positively terrifying. But with Izzy, he's tender and a complete gentleman, and her fascination with the mysterious beast of a man becomes too powerful for her to walk away. 

As Theo's demons come to light, running becomes even more impossible. And yet staying together could doom them both.

A city girl reins in the cowboy of her hottest dreams in Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Lauren Landish’s wild romance.

As the eldest brother, the responsibility for the family ranch now rests on Mark Bennett’s broad shoulders. He wouldn’t have it any other way—he loves being in charge. Working hard on the land helps him stay focused and keeps him from noticing what’s missing in his life—what he’ll never allow himself to have for fear that one small taste will break his careful control.

But a sweet blue-eyed blonde has just arrived in town, and the attraction between them is undeniably hot. So Mark tightens the reins around his heart—how can he tell her what he really wants?

Events planner Katelyn Johnson’s new gig is the wedding of a rodeo superstar. Right now, it’s tough not to focus on the rider’s tempting older brother. So far, getting beneath Mark’s gorgeously gruff exterior has been a pleasure.

What she needs to do is go a little deeper. But the closer they get, the more Mark pulls away. Katelyn’s not afraid of a challenge, though. Whatever deep desires he’s hiding, she wants in on his secrets.

All she has to do is get past his legendary reserve. With all her body, heart, and soul, there’s nothing she can’t handle.

Vinnie Gallo's the hottest rookie in professional football.
He's a smooth-talker, good with his hands, and knows how to score.

Bianca Hernandez thinks she's immune to Vinnie's charms.
She's not impressed by the glitz, glamour, or fame, but after a six month self-imposed break from men and sex, she feels her resistance slipping.

Nothing will stop Vinnie from trying to get the girl--not a crazy stalker, Bianca's two older brothers, or the fear he's falling in love.

Hustle is the fourth book in the interconnected standalone Men of Inked: Southside series by USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Chelle Bliss.

I’m not a good man, and I’ve never pretended to be. I don’t believe in goodness or God or any happy ending that isn’t paid for in advance.
What do I believe in? Money. Sex. Macallan 18.

My brother used to be a priest, and he only has one word for me.

When I opened my eyes, I was in a cell, my body covered in bruises.

Not a jail.

I’d been kidnapped and imprisoned.

I wasn’t alone. I shared the cell with Garin Woods, the man I’d loved since I was a kid.

The man I couldn’t be with because of the secret. A man who would kill me if he found out what that secret was.

Someone wanted to torture me.

Torture us.

One of us deserved it.

It wasn’t Garin

Three books. Three anti-heros. Three mindf@cks.

It begins and ends with the prison.
Underground and unsanctioned.
Hell on earth.
Some people search for God while serving their sentence.
Not even God comes to this jail.
The only thing behind these bars is pain.
And the devils who run the place?
Their stories are the most painful of all.

Enzo, A Taboo Treat by K. Webster........ 5 Clock review

Enzo

by K Webster 

Publication Date: January 28, 2019 

Genres: Taboo Treat

Read for FREE in KindleUnlimited: Amazon US | Amazon UK | Amazon CA | Amazon AU

Jenna’s grown up in the system. Forced to be tough, wary, and hard. She’s only been able to count on herself. Until Enzo. He’s much older and responsible for looking after her. What should be a job to him, evolves into much more. Late night phone calls. Lingering touches. A forbidden fire that burns brighter each day. Everything about him exudes strength. His will to protect her is more than she could ever ask for. Sadly, though, even heroes have their limitations. But she doesn’t need a hero. She just needs him.

Dawn's review

There really is no one that writes taboo like K. Webster does, she is the best! I loved Enzo and Jenna's story. Jenna's life, good lord that poor girl. In and out of many different foster homes over her 18 years, has left her very guarded and in need of a hero... Enzo, can relate to Jenna as he was a folster child for years until he found his forever family. His mission is to make sure the kids he has as a case worker remain safe. He takes a special interest in Jenna, because she is about to age out of the system and he wants to help her succeed in life. Know that she has a bond with "baby banshee" he has to keep them together and will stop at nothing to make sure that happens. 

Feelings develop between Enzo and Jenna, as they spend hours on the phone and texting just to make sure she is safe. Enzo is fighting it and Jenna is not letting up. She knows that she is much older than her 18 yrs and will not let Enzo feel bad for his feelings. 

This is a HOT treat and I devoured it!

Under The Northern Lights by SC Stephens....... 4.5 Star Review

Every year she makes a trek deep into Alaska, but this time the unthinkable happens: she crash-lands after her plane stalls out in a storm.

Undaunted, Mallory tends to Michael’s heart as tenderly as he cared for her wounds—but will her love be enough to heal him?

Dawn's Review

SC Stephens, is a go to author for me, so naturally I went into this not knowing what to expect.  First thing, I went to Colorado over Christmas and I am so glad that I did not read this before my flights.   As a wildlife photographer, one has to go to where the wildlife is and for Mal, that was Alaska. Alone and with a plan she sets out to capture these creatures in their natural habitat. Danger is waiting an unsuspecting Mallory, but she forges on, into the sky.
The plane crash was told in vivid detail and you really were afraid for Mallory. But yet I applauded her spirit to go and live her dream. Facing death with little more than her backpack, gun and her faith, Mal, has to survive one night and then go in search of help.
Michael, is a social recluse and all alone in his Alaskan wilderness. Tired of the world and it's people constantly letting him down Michael, leaves a career as a physician and the streets of New York. He is on a mission to have little to no contact with people again.  His reasoning is solid, in his mind and he believes he is far enough out to accomplish just this. Until, one day he sees smoke rising into the Alaska wilderness . He sets out to see what has interrupted his exile. Finding Mallory, hurt and in danger, he rescues her from the very wilderness that they both love so much.
I would classify this story as NA to YA story more along the action and adventure line. There is innuendo, but nothing graphic. This is a beautiful story of two people in dire circumstances that lean on each other as a way to survive. Both Michael and Mallory, are injured in different ways. Michael, is broken by a single  traumatic event in his life 5 years ago.  And Mallory, her body is beaten and she is away from everyone she loves and is worried about her family thinking she is dead. Her spirits are low but her faith never weavers.
This story for me, was about finding your courage and strength you didn't know you had. It's about overcoming things keeping you from your happiness. Choosing to live when it would be easy to just lay down and die. Faith, plays a big role in this story and it was quite refreshing to see a book with a clear message, that was not beating it down your throat.

Kings of Mayhem by Penny Dee Review by Dawn

When a King loves 

He loves hard

CADE

I’ve loved her since we were five years old.
We grew up side by side.
Two kids tied together by the Kings of Mayhem Motorcycle Club.
But I broke us.
I broke her.
So, she fled.
Now she’s back after twelve long years.
And I’m going to show her all the reasons why we should be together and make her forget all the reasons why we shouldn’t.

INDY

I’m back in town but only because I have to be.
I’m here to help my mom bury my father.
And the sooner we get it done, the better.
Because I want to see Cade as much as I want a hole in the head.
He broke me once—no, he broke my everything— and I’ll be damned if I’ll let him do it again.
Get in and get out.
That is the plan.
But you know what they say about best-laid plans.

Dawn's Review

This was my first Penny Dee read and I am a fan. I loved that she included a Path of Family , this very handy in an MC story as there are many players . This is the first book in the Kings of Mayhem series Cade and Indy's story. I loved the family dynamic of this story. Best friends since the age of 5 to , young love to heart break.  Cade, broke Indy's heart on the night before they were set to leave for college and Indy ran..... 

12 years later she is back in town for the first time since Cade broke her. In town to bury her father, her plan...get in and get out. Well, Cade, has other plans. 

This story flow was great, easy to follow and totally addictive. This is gearing up to be a really great new MC series. Like I had mentioned, this is book 1 so there are many introductions to different characters and rival clubs. So there is a lot of emotion and facing the past, as it is written in "then and now" fashion. You get the back story of Indy and Cade, and it is handled just right. It does not go on for page after page. It is enough of a backstory that you get why the emotions are running so high. 

The Club business is intertwined a little throughout the story, but the ending is where you get the set up for where the club is going and the drama that is going to follow. 

This really has me wanting to read more of the series.

Good Time by Jana Aston......... Review by Dawn

Marrying a stranger tops the list of things you should never do in Las Vegas, but I did it anyway.
The entire night was my idea. I was the one who suggested a wake-up-with-a-tiger kind of night. Instead, I woke up with a ring on my finger and Vince Rossi in my bed.
Vince, who was nothing like I thought he was and everything I never knew I needed. 

Suddenly I was falling head-over-heels in love with my accidental husband and the idea of ending this union was the last thing I wanted.
I wanted forever.

So what if we barely knew each other? Statistically speaking, our odds were as good as anyone’s. 

Until the annulment papers landed on my doorstep…

Dawn's Review

Long time reader, first time reading Jana Aston and I am hooked! I loved this book so much! It was such a fun read. I read a lot of heavy darker books. I was looking for something to make me laugh and a quick easy read, Good Time delivered. 

I was literally giggling and LOLing at 4am. I really enjoyed Payton's quick whit and hilarious inner monologue. Her habit of making up words and using them in normal conversation, right along with her using words at the wrong time, had me rolling. Payton, is a woman who knows what she wants and it not afraid to say it, even if it is unintended. She believe's in laying it all out there and letting the chips fall as they may. When presented with an opportunity to spend the evening doing Vegas, with 3 men, 2 whom she works with and one who she wants...Vince. This is not the first time Payton has laid eyes on him and claimed him as her "future husband and baby daddy." But it is the first time she gets to let Vince, know she is giving him a "fast pass" to all things Payton. The only question is, does Vince want the golden ticket?

Vince Rossi, is the owner of a strip club in Vegas. You know the type, fat, greasy, stale cologne...that guy. Well, Payton was sure in for a surprise when Mr. Sex on a Stick, walks in and introduces himself as the owner of said strip club. Vince, is mysterious and so very inviting to Payton. He is shocked with her "hold nothing back" kind of attitude, shocked that she is putting it all out there. When he agrees to be apart of the rouse to get Lydia (Patton's bestie) and one of his customers together, little did he know it would change his life. A simple game of A or B leads to a marriage Vegas style and a wife that has disappeared the next day! 

The hilarity that ensues between, Payton, Vince, Canon, Mark and Lydia, is top notch. Canon, being the maid of honor and taking it upon himself to hack all of Payton's info, had me cackling. Payton, making Girl Trooper badges for Lydia, as she is discovering her sexual desires, had me in a giggling fit. Mark, is Payton's work husband and their banter and playing off each other, was so much FUN! While reading this story I send a message to my friend and told her that it reads like any conversation that I would have with her or my life long best friend. I literally pictured myself saying 90% of the dialogue.

This is a super fun read and I highly recommend it!
