As Thick As Thieves by R.E. Bond

After cliffy of book 1, I honestly jumped into this as soon as was possible and it did not disappoint. It kicks off pretty much right where the last book ended and Penn has been going through hell. Her saviours come in the unexpected form, not from any of the Night Thieves but they are familiar faces and has me wanting more and more from this world. Penn and her new brotherly relationship had me in stitches as well as well as tugging at my heart strings. 

There was fab one liners in this book that I absolutely loved. I also enjoyed watching the dynamics of the relationships and how they evolved. I however especially appreciated that even with her more forgiving kind heart that Stone still got what was coming to him. This remained very slow burn for the pair whilst things remain hot with the others. 

I do hope that we get to see these guys in many more books in the future as honestly grew to love them all. I am heartbroken this duet is over but I know it won't only be a duet I recommend but also reread in the future. I also can't wait to read whatever else the author may come up with as well as reading and rereading her backlist.

No honor among thieves by R.E. Bond

Oh my ....

This is just I so so good. I loved Penn so much she has some great dry humour and is strong in her own way even if not as crazy as maybe some of the other fmc the author has she definitely is still nutty. She does after all quite happily let 2 of the guys kidnap her. The guys are also great after sneak peeks in the last couple books it was great to get some insight into their characters and lives at the compound. 

Going into this I knew it wasn't a standalone but it didn't stop me screaming and throwing small fit at the end. I had to give it a couple days before trying to write review as was still in shock and couldnt form words. 

I love this authors writing she has me completely invested in these books and the whole world she has built for them. I am looking forward to more of them and will be one click reads for me. I also plan to delve into her paranormal ones too I will be looking forward to that while I wait. 

Walker by Jeanne St James

Oh, now this one I jumped straight into after finishing the last book. I am really flying through this series. I love second chances, and this was great in that the female actually left the man rather than the more common of the man doing something. It was also nice to see a disabled character featured in it. I'm still hooked on these guys and will be continuing to read the rest of the series.

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!
