Colt by Jules Ford

I have been dying to see Colt get his story and I was hooked from the start.

This is a forbidden love with age gap as Colt tries to fight his feelings for his Prez's daughter Fraya so instantly the trope appealed to me for this book. Freya and Colt are both extremely smart and seem so well suited for each other. 

I will say Colt's behaviour throughout frustrated me a lot but at same time I was still routing for them to work it out so they could make it work. I also still loved the comedy aspects of the story and honestly thought at one point I wouldn't be able to stop laughing to finish the book. I did, but it took a while. 

I'm now even more invested too in reading Daggers story the little snippets of his history have me needing to know more. Will be reading as soon as it's released for sure. 

Cash by jules ford

Cash is a second-chance romance that had the MMC cheating before then going to prison. Now that he's out he wants Cara back and is prepared to do anything to get his way. There are a lot of points that might be triggering and honestly, I know not everyone will want to read. For me, this worked well as Cash does end up seeking actual help to deal with his issues rather than just turning up and being forgiven. The writing had me easily into the story and not needing to put it down. I especially love some of the one-liners and had me laughing out loud. I look forward to reading more from the Speed Demons MC and anything else the author has planned.

Hunter by Jeanne St James

Oh, this book had me just as gripped as the others in the series and I didn't put it down. Frankie is a firm fave of FMC being so handy with a baseball bat even through her fear. Was nice to see a single mum being in the mix of this series as single parents are one of my fave things to read. 

Ryder by Jeanne st James

Oh wow after reading all of the Dirty Angels MC series it was nice to see Kelsea finally meeting her match. I had kind of guessed why her behavior had been out of control and was good to see her finally get it out even if Ryder had to whisk her off to make her face her demons. Also knowing Ryder had his own by the end they really needed a happy ending. I found myself really enraptured by the characters and in need of more. I will be jumping straight in with the next in the series. 

Mercy by Jeanne St James

I only started this authors books last month but was hooked on the last series when saw Mercy (who featured in the MC books) I knew I had to read his story and abandoned my reading plans to jump in straight away and didn't put down until it finished. I loved the connection he and Parris developed I think her being a therapist it helped to show her understanding Mercy and his issues and had me captured to watch there journey I know I now need to read the rest of the teams books. 

Riding hard by k.l Ramsey

This was a fan quick read for me Owen and Tilly seemed made for each other really and it was low angst which was exactly what I needed after previous read. For an mc read was little outside the normal to find one low in relationship drama but this was more focused on the pair being at his home while hiding her so it worked well for the story especially as mmc is ex military it really fit the dynamic of the characters. Author is definitely one will read more of. 

Fighting the tide by c.a rene

With this I had no idea what to expect as it was out with the authors normal of books that I had previously read. However I was intrigued by a small town romance aspect and soon as picked up I didn't want to put down. 

Thankfully as was ill I had tissues at the ready as I found myself very emotional during this read which isn't all that like me. While it could have been me being not well I certainly had been warned before hand. 

I was completely shocked how much I enjoyed that it was only from the male pov but it really made me feel attached to him so much more. 

The writing was superb and gripping as per usual for this author and I now know that even if falls outside previous books that I will still need to read it! Can't wait for whatever comes next.

Breaker

My heart has been stolen.

I was so happy that Snows backstory to Kittenhad got its own book but I knew this was going to have to be something special to measure up and give them the ending they deserved. Especially after how badly Kennedy was treated. Breaker didn't disappoint in that at all and my heart went out to them throughout this book and im not sure I got it back.

This is very much as second chance romance that also has taken on the real emotional struggles of severe ptsd as well so may not be for everyone however this is definitely worth a read for those who enjoy those types of reads and the MC thrown in it's a big hit for me.

I cannot wait for more from the series and from the author in general im sure this will be staying with me a long time and I will be rereading in the future as well.

Atlas by Jules Ford


Amazing.

This was a great read and I just loved the characters so much that I never wanted it to end. I had been looking forward to it since we first saw Atlas in the first book of the series, Bowie, so I dived right in and didn't put it down. 

While at times I really wanted him to get a good slap the relationship seemed to flow in a great way. Sophie seemed exactly the women that Atlas needed as his ol' lady. Her martial art skills and strong willed personality was inspiring and loved her humor that was brought to life with some awesome writing that pulled me in from the start. 

While this can be read as standalone I would recommend reading series from the start for the background. I recommend for those who enjoy MC romance and small town romance. It will be on my reread list and I can't wait for more of this series and from the author in general.

Filthy Sinner by Serena Akeroyd


Mafia meets MC.

What an excellent merge this is. After meeting them in the sinners I have always wanted to know there story and it was a great read I honestly could't put it down. MaryCat is trying to escape an arrange marriage and ends up on road trip to Vegas with Digger instead. Watching there interactions is great but I couldnt help laughing when Rex cells Digger and mentioned there's other places they could have gone that were closer that allow same day marriages. 

This has been a hit with me I loved it and would recommend for sure. Was nice to jump back to the history and see how the sinners and feckers got entwined.

Merciless devil by Kylie Kent


Eek...

Oh my I loved this so much. Friends to lovers has always been one that is hit or miss for me but this was awesome. I loved Matteo and Savannah in this and found but of this hilarious.what I enjoyed most is that Matteo was all in and ready to fight for her. Also that though Savannah loved him she still made him fight so much due to her reservations of his families mafia ties and his role in it. Even after the drunken marriage she keeps trying to fight it and Matteo amazingly flat out refuses to accept any other possibility than them being together. 

Enjoyed so much and really looking forward to the twins stories and well anything this author want to right to be fair. It's firmly in my recommendation list as well as very likely my reread list. 

Brewer by Jessica Ames


Glad you be back with the untamed sons in Manchester.

Brewer is the perfect person to ask to protect Ophelia however he never got the full story and might have bit off more than expected. Ophelia has had crush on him since meeting him during his prison sentence when she was a teenager but he never came looking for her when he got out and she isn't sure of the MC lifestyle. Being at clubhouse and seeing it through her perception was great to see. 

Was nice quick read for me and for other mac readers is one recommend looking forward to more. 

Lee by Amy Davies


Screams! 

Ok so I was hooked on this from start. I knew after reading Zeb I needed to read Lee and Jules' story. But I honestly didnt realise quite how much I would end up screaming and tearing my hair out at the pure need to slap some sense into Lee. 

This is one of those ones that nakes it hard reading Lee really does need Jules in his life but he keeps pushing her away and often emotionally cruel to her. Though his history makes it kinda understandable to some degree not wanting a relationship not necessarily his treatment of her especially after telling her the truth and wanting to make things work. 

I did to some degree still enjoy this though and depending what someones after would recommend. The writing had me stuck in the story and the emotional roller coaster I wanted to keep going. I will look forward to more in the future from this author. 

Never Been Kissed by K.L Ramsey


Another great read by a fav author.

Nadia is in captivity and not by her men they are who save her and help get away so they need to stay hidden together. A.J was undercover with Nadias brother and wanted to get her free it seemed very isn't a love where Zeb who has been searching for her is Nadias best friend who couldnt admit his love and neither did she. But with both around she cannot choose and they decide to share. 

I know not all read mfm but for me this was definitely the best option instead of triangle and they all end up happy. I really enjoyed this and found it nice quick read. Despite some of the background of being kidnapped its also quite a light read as well which is exactly what I needed. 

Ivy's Venom by C.A Rene


Welcome to the next gen.

It's fitting to see it's Embers eldest who seems a mini me version really though not quite as violent. Despite her parents she has been through her own trauma and has her own way of dealing. It seemed only fitting that the guy that captures her full attention is the one that hates her. The attraction is instant for both and despite the past I think that hate makes them even more suitable for each other. 

So glad to be back in whitsborough. While not the same as the originals still thoroughly enjoyed and will be one I recommend for other readers! 

To Redemption by C.A Rene


Last and final of the whitsborough chronicles.

It's also back to Ember and Vin being the main focus of course the others have there part as well. This book really saw the story come to a conclusion bringing the puzzle to an end and what a ride it has been.

I love this book and the series so much and sorry to see it go (though I know next Gen is available) it will however be one I will reread as well as one I recommend as well.

Finding the Light by C.A Rene


Bit different from the others.

Still loved though. Was great getting to see Adri, Travis and Emmett with this one while still having Ember and Vin around of course. These three are all so different that watching them interact I was loving it. Never mind picturing Travis and Emmetts night out I wish I was in that bar. 

As this is mmf might not appeal to will but think this works so well and fits in with the characters and the story we know so far even if might not seem that way until into the book. 

Highly recommend this book and series so far. I'm really looking forward to reading the next one!

Into the Darkness by C.A Rene


Oh so glad to be back in Whitsborough.

This had me just as hooked if not more so than the first book. Ember is going down a darker path and thankfully she isn't alone now to deal with it all. My heart breaks for her and all that she has lost so Vin's unwavering loyalty and love despite her actions is exactly what I want from her. Lots more secrets are uncovered so need to be careful in review as don't want to spoil but this definitely is a must read for me and will remain on my reread list as well as those I recommend. 

Taming Lucia by Raissa Donovan and Addison Wolf


I find hard to write review without saying too much to give away actual parts of the book. I will say that the warnings should be read just like with the others there are some triggers some may find hard or just not be something enjoy. For those who like the darker the better RH then this should make the cut for sure. I cantjump into 3rd yet as haven't got but I know will be first thing that I get to im glad already released at least as honestly interested how this will end and really want to see how the guys will react after that ending I can guess be pretty explosive but also hoping to see more of there softer side or least more bout them.

Through The Pain by C.A Rene


Oh my what a start.

Straight off I was drawn straight in and absolutely loved Ember. Her attitude and one off statements that are in this had me laughing out loud and getting some strange looks when I wasn't alone reading. The darkness in her is matched in Vin even though she's definitely the one to watch. Having a young fmc who is so strong and real fighting technique was great plus she does seem older than her actual age which sometimes the younger characters lose my interest but not these guys. The end had me jumping straight in for more I can't get enough of this world. Highly recommend this book!

Filthy Truth by Serena Akeroyd


It concludes.

So the conclusion comes for the O' Donnelly brothers and brings us the end of Connor and Stars story. I love the pair of them and that kept me going. With being so long of a series and there's becomming 2 parts it's longer than my brain thought and while there was a few times thought was losing interest it did keep me from dropping it all together and the future look in has me desperate for the next gen and the other connecting stories of the world too. I don't want to let them go. Definitely remsjbs on my series that I recommend and sure will stay on my reread lists too. 

Breaking Lucia by Raissa Donnovan and Addison Wolf


I had read Lucia's sisters books first (well the first 2 awaiting next) while waiting I just had to come read this story. The 2 sisters are quite different so wasn't sure how would be but I really found myself drawn into this book. Please beware of all triggers for this book there is a lot of darkness with dub con and non con for these along with being humiliated and forced into situations so it's not for everyone at all but I know im going to be continuing to find more from Lucia Victor Angelo and Saint and hopefully more from the authors. 

Filthy Lies by Serena Akeroyd


Connor and Star I love this pair.

They have from the beginning seemed like the perfect match and now we get to see more of them including Connor chasing her down and Star finally relenting not to keep try and so everything alone. Though of course this is a struggle for her. There was a lot going on in the book and knew at end would want to read the next part of the duet so I held off glad I did. 

Corpse Roads by J. Rose


The Sabre Security is back.

This is a spin off but can be read as standalone but was great to see the guys back along with Hunters brother in this book even more that we get the gang back in too ss they have stayed in touch.

Harlow has been through so much in her life and so much of it comes through in the writing the plot had me hooked from start to finish and screaming for more by the end. I cant wait for the next in the series. 

For those who like rh with darker themes then I would say this should be read as soon as possible though do check triggers especially regarding religious cults and gruesome deaths along with mental health issues.

Sparking Ares by Kristine Allen


This was a hit for me.

So Ares has came from another friendly MC and I had resd in the anthology a bit of this and was more than interested to see his story. This sees him looking for revenge and kidnaps Ember. Despite this the attention is clear and you just know that he can't follow through on his plan. He has so much to work through after losing the women he loves but the chemistry between the pair makes it hard for them to keep there hands to themselves. It also has the intrigue of an added secret as he's also a shifter though this is in the background as with the others in this series though I was caught up and this didn't make it harder for me to read (personal preference at the time of reading was struggling with pnr) will be looking forward to more soon and would be one recommend reading. 


Raptor's Revenge by Kristine Allen


Excellent end to the pairs story.

So this picks up direct from where last one ends and thankfully answers some of those unanswered questions and tues it all together. It also gives more of an introduction for Ares book which comes next. So much more is learnt of Raptors history and gives him more closure so that he and Sage can be a proper family along with Sam and Seth as well. 

Taming Raptor by Kristine Allen


Ohh Raptor...

So he's getting ready for his move and this gives more into his history as he's keot so many secrets but also tried to stay away from "Cookie" due to his history and the age gap. This is a look slightly different from normal as he clearly has feelings for the Club girl which is nice to see also no shaming her for her history either. This one is done in two parts so had waited so I could resd both together glad did as I do hate waiting. This also had paranormal twist which I have been avoiding not sure if was due to liking the writer or what but even bringing shifters in for this one could not distract me from flying through it. So if like mc romance and shifterrs i'd get this added to your list.

Sin's Betrayal by Nikki Landis

After the gap in the series for a while I jumped straight in for this book. Mac being the pres and back with the MC made me instantly want him to find his happily ever after. He's lost so much a look already and deserves to have Charlotte even if he thinks staying away is for her own good. I found this a nice quick read for me and as love the writing fiubdveasy to get through. The series might have slight paranormal background but this book was really just focused on the pair so even though haven't managed many pnr this didn't stop my enjptment at all. Look forward to more of both series and others from the author in general. 

Relentless Devil by Kylie Kent


The Valentini's are back ...

Theo Jr gets his book in the first in this series for the next generation. His stalker tendencies remind me a bit of his dad for sure and loved to see his immediate interests in Maddie while she was the one more reserved and it wanting to let him in. 

Really enjoyed the book and didn't want to put it down. I was hoping for bit more from the parents and extended family because missed them so much but this has been done so can be read without the others first and has made me want to read the rest of the brothers so much and definitely be one that I recommend.

Vengeful Rotten Casualties by Lucy Smoke


The finale is here.

Since began the series I have been hoping that these 2 would get a book and that it's together it's even better for me. Micki reminds me a lot of Avalon there interaction in this book is amazing and wish I was on night out with those two. She has been through so much so felt right that it was Luc that she was with. They might not have seen each other for year's but there feelings just grow now neither of them are as young and innocent. Plus you see Luc integrating a little more with the sick boys too. For me this was perfect ending to the series I didn't want to put it down and was sad to see it end. Hoping might be more from them all as other series progress. I recommend reading full series for the full effect as flows better but those who have triggers please check warnings first. 

Ruining Vanessa by Raissa Donovan and Addison Wolf

I'm completely hooked.

Ok so once I started to read this I couldn't put it down they guys start to show there more human gentle side in this book however it is very limited and the book is quite possibly darker than the first. I was completely sucked in as I just wanted more and if the next book was out already im certain I would have jumped right in. I'm dying to see more of the guys and learn more about them they really are still bit of a mystery and I am hoping that book 3 we will get to know them, there thoughts and emotion as well as there histories. I enjoyed the writing of this duo and have already been looking at the previous trilogy of the sister which im hoping I can read soon.

Dragon Slayer by C.A Rene

Holy Hell.

My two fave things this author and MC romance put together for the first time. I was so excited to see this advertised especially also being RH and it in no way disappointed. It blew me away. 

I loved the characters in some ways loved to hate of course. The writing had me addicted from the first page and I didn't put it down I was hooked all the way through and screaming for more. 

Can't wait for the next book and would definitely recommend for other dark MC Romance readers who also like RH. There are triggers so please take that into consideration if have any.
