Until April (Until Her/Him, #10)Until April by Aurora Rose Reynolds
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

April Mayson fell in love once only to have the man who held her heart, shatter it as well. April moved on focusing on her business as a realtor, but when she is contacted by Maxim Kauwe she can’t help but remember a fleeting moment with him when she was a teenager. Now though Maxim wants a house in Tennessee to be close to his sister. However, Maxim intends to have April as well. When danger is surrounding April though Maxim’s protective impulse goes full throttle and the beginning of them begins.

Loved this and was surprised at how Maxim came into the story. He is pure alpha male and I was a bit surprised by April’s back story. Pure fun all around.

Shakedown (Souls Chapel Revenants MC, #8)Shakedown by Lani Lynn Vale
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Belle Pena is a matter of fact outspoken woman, which is one of the reasons why her dates seem to fail at a tremendous rate. A dating app has her rejecting one man who if she went on her instincts she would have accepted the date, instead she rejects it. However, fate has other plans in mind as she ends up stood up with her newest date and sees the man she rejected anyway.

Bruno can’t stop looking at Belle, but he has enough swirling around him to act on it. Bruno is a bit of a loner but when he ends up hurt it is Belle who is by his side. Bruno and Belle are thrown together and there is no sense denying the attraction between them. That being said can they remain safe enough to see where it goes?

There are so many surprises that happen in this book I didn’t want to delve to far in. Loved Belle, she has intrigued me for awhile and she is everything I hoped and more. Bruno is a terrific character who makes a lot of sacrifices for those he cares about. Terrific.

Review: Charlotte by Lisa Helen Gray

Charlotte (A Next Generation Carter Brother Novel Book 6)Charlotte by Lisa Helen Gray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Charlotte has always wanted one thing, a happily ever after and when she meets someone she knows she is settling but as he gets aggressively worse and she finds out the truth about him she is devastated. Meeting Drew is a surprise and she quickly finds herself making a friend she never expected. She is healing but something about him has Charlotte wondering if she deserves a second chance at love.

This was amazing, a definite tearjerker. I wanted Charlottes book for awhile as she seemed the most vulnerable in some of the other books that I was curious to see where her story would take her. I was not disappointed and I loved Drew, he is perfect for her. Love the antics of the other Carters. Terrific series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Trent Montgomery is on the hunt trying to find his best friend’s girl’s long lost sister. Finally after leads that go nowhere, he finds her and he is surprised to see that Cheyanne Knightly is not only stunning but a mom to a darling daughter.

Breaking Badger (Honey Badger Chronicles, #4)Breaking Badger by Shelly Laurenston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mads, a honey badger, has always wanted one thing in her life, to play basketball Now her team is competing for a championship but her team keeps running into the Malones. Finn Malone is trying to find out who murdered his father with his brothers but someone has put a hit on them. They want answers but are hitting a wall, but there is one person who could help find the answers too bad his brother ticked her off. Mads is friends with Max, who happens to be on her team, and Finn needs to find a way to get Max to help them. With Mads and Finn constantly together though could their friendship turn into something more?

So much to the story this was delightful. I am a huge fan of this honey badger series and Mads is the calmest of the honey badgers. Some really hilarious moments in this story and loved the introduction of the Black Malones. Can’t wait to see what is next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Luke (Texas Kings MC, Book 15)Luke by Cee Bowerman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Luke returned home to be embraced by his brothers in the Texas Kings MC, as well as going into business owning a gym with his brother. He knows his past has damaged him and he still has PTSD he is dealing with, knowing this he knows he will never settle down with a woman. That all changes when Liberty Merida enters his gym, it is a meeting he will never forget and not in a good way. He wants Liberty, but she is young and he is not the right man for her. However Liberty sees it differently and friends quickly become lovers. Now he sees a future with the woman he loves but what happens when others around them seem to doubt what they have?

This was a surprise and had a plot twist I did not see coming and as a fan of all of this authors book I have to say it brought a realism to the story which I could easily see happen. Liberty is terrific, I have been a fan of hers since she was introduced. Luke is a gentle giant and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing him fall for Liberty. Fantastic story.

Review: Spiral of Need by Suzanne Wright

Spiral of Need (The Mercury Pack, #1)Spiral of Need by Suzanne Wright
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Derren Hudson is a Beta of the Mercury Pack, whose only loyalty is to his Pack. He doesn’t get close to most and is somewhat of a loner. When an old acquaintance contacts Derren for a favor he balks, his acquaintance wants him to go get Ally Marshall a shifter from another pack, but what has him hesitating is she is a Seer. Derren hates Seer’s, if it wasn’t for his former pack Seer his life wouldn’t have been torn apart and betrayed. Derren believes that all Seer’s are liars out to craft whatever tale for self serving reasons.

Ally is not happy with her pack, her old boyfriend found his mate and while she is truly happy for him his new mate is doing her best to getting her shunned. Ally doesn’t have time to deal with her and her latest ambush to put Ally in a negative standing with the pack has her wondering what to do. She doesn’t expect Derren to show up to take her to another pack for protection until her closest friend can come protect her. Ally realizes she is going to be hated by the Mercury Pack, they have had issues with another Seer. The problem is Ally is not one to create drama, if she sees something she is honest about what she sees.

Derren is drawn to Ally, she confuses him with how she acts and when an action has Ally protecting his pack, Derren realizes she can be trusted. Someone is targeting his pack and it seems Ally, can he protect her while exploring why he is so drawn to her?

Amazing, should have picked this up so much sooner. I thought this was wonderful, loved the characters and the way the story had me guessing how the story would unfold. The one terrific thing about this authors books is they are always different and filled with characters who are unique. Terrific.

Review: Don’t Go Away Mad by Lacey Black

Don't Go Away Mad (Burgers and Brew Crüe #2)Don’t Go Away Mad by Lacey Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jasper knows he is demanding, the high turnover in his kitchen proves that but he wants perfection with every burger he serves. When he finds out that his former nemesis, Lyndee from college, is setting up a bakery across the street he is not pleased. He believes she is there to create havoc, he couldn’t be more wrong. Jasper can’t seem to stay away from Lyndee and the more he gets to know her the more he wants to sleep with her, but Jasper is not a relationship type of guy but could he be with Lyndee?

This was great, very different then the first book in the series. I thought this was a lot of fun and Jasper spends a lot of time in his head, he is driven but when he decides to take a chance with Lyndee you see a completely different side. Wonderful story.
