Series Review ~ Ricochet ~ Heather C. Leigh




Rick "Ricochet" Brennan served eight years as an elite Marine special ops Force Recon soldier. After an injury, and the terrible memories from that night, he retires and goes to work for his former Command Officer, Howard "Mack" McEvoy, at his training center in Atlanta.

Sanctum MMA appears on the surface to be a normal gym, training elite fighters to be the best. Except each trainer, hand-picked by Mack, possesses a special background that allows Mack to run one of the best-kept secrets in the country.

When twenty-four year old Quinn Wallace finally escapes her abusive husband, she turns to her father’s old Marine Corps buddy, Mack, for help. Broken and skittish, Quinn finds herself surrounded by large, intimidating men— men who could easily overpower her. She avoids them the best she can, but when Rick turns out to be more than just a rough fighter with bruised knuckles, she finds herself wondering if she can allow herself to trust again.

Ricochet is a full-length novel to be released as three parts.

***This book contains hot sweaty men, sexy scenes for those over 18, and uncomfortable, sometimes violent scenes.***


So, I was rather excited when I heard about Ricochet. It sounded like the perfect quick read that I needed to get me out of the slump I'm in. And oh boy... it did so and so much more. 

I didn't realize that it was being released in 3 parts. But was tickled pink when I got all three of them at once. YaY for no waiting. 

Mack is the epitome of alpha male. Recon Soldier turned MMA trainer. Mack reeks of sweaty, manly sexiness. He's also completely disconnected from emotional attachments. Having the job he has, he's been forced to remain separate. Then one day on his way to work he runs into this sweet, skittish beauty who has a fire in her eyes. 

Quinn is afraid of her own shadow. And for good reason. After all she has endured and survived, being surrounded by these hulking men is the last thing she wants. But it's what she needs in order to stay alive and stay safe. The road that Quinn travels is one that is harrowing & torturous. Mack... He brings her peace and safety. She can't explain it, decides not to -- but Mack will protect her, of that she has no doubt.

**RDB & Reviews** Dominic: The Prince ~ Ties of Steel 2 ~ MJ Fields ~ Amy's Dual Reviews Dominic & Abe ~

Dominic: The Prince
Ties of Steel Book 2
ecover Dom
Book Information: 
Title: Ties of Steel Series - Dominic: The Prince 
Series: Men of Steel Series 
Author: MJ Fields 
Publication Date: January 18th, 2015     


The Italian, seductive, quiet alpha, Dominic Segretti, is leaving Livorno, Italy and headed for the Jersey Shore. 

His family's business is in danger of crumbling under the management of a man who tormented and grossly underestimated his investment in a business he grew up loving and the hatred of a man who made his life hell for thirteen years. 

He has been quietly waiting for the right moment to bring Benito Deluca to his knees. He comes to the US, armed with enough evidence to prove his case to, Josephine Steel, his aunt, and his cousins, Cyrus, Jase, Zandor, and Xavier. 

The night before he plans to tell them of the corruption that could cause the demise of DeLuca INC, he decides to take a night to de-stress. He plans a night of relaxation and enjoyment for himself at the Hilton Casino on the shore. 

Delaney Johnson is starting over after a break-up and graduating college. She has landed the job of her dreams in NYC. Arrangements had been made to stay with her best friend, Nikki Bassett, and her fiancĂ©', Abe O'Donnell. 

Feeling that her luck has suddenly changed, she stops to play a few slots, just for fun. She finds herself winning big, and gains an admirer. 

One hot night of uninhibited sex with a stranger takes her places she never knew she could go. 

Dominic sees something in her, something familiar, something undeniable. Will this one hot night turn into many or will the Beast's plans crush any hope of them exploring their future?  

Review of ABE

Abe...
Oh dear sweet sexy overworked Abe. 
The poor boy is losing his mind trying to keep the Steel boys from ending up in the press, and doing his every day to day job. He needs some R&R. 

Deciding to head off to the beach for the week, Abe is on the hunt for a couple of one-night stands. He doesn't do anything more. He doesn't have time for it. Unbeknownst to him, his pool is a community pool. He gets a load of the women next door... and oh boy, they get a once in a lifetime look of him. 

Nicolette isn't looking for a man, yea Abe is nice eye-candy, and she can handle a fling, but can she handle him? When his words and actions cause a storm inside of her, she knows she is in over her head.  Knowing she will never see him again? Makes it a little easier to let herself go. Running into him again after this week? 

Impossible... right? 

I absolutely love MJ Fields. A friend introduced her to me and I got the pleasure of meeting her at Rebels & Readers this past November. Her work is impeccable. Her story lines are flawless. One thing I definitely love about them is that it isn't all sweet smelling flowers. There's a mystery to unravel. And it all surrounds Steel Inc. 

If you haven't read her series Forever Steel, you're missing out on some amazing books!! 

Review of DOMINIC

Dominic...

Imagine you're in a casino, playing to your little hearts content, and a dark, sexy, Italian offers to buy you a drink, do you refuse?

Yea, I didn't think so.

This happened to Laney. What is it about this man that is so magnetic? Laney is on a downward slope. Between her mother and father and her exboyfriend, she just can't seem to get things together. Life, fate, whatever; she has decided, hates her. On the road to start a new job and a new life in the same town as her best friend Nikki, she meets Dominic, and she can't refuse him a night. But she can't figure him out either.

Dominic has a job to complete. That job is taking down the men who are currently destroying his family's work. He just hopes he can do it with the help of his cousins from Steel, Inc. Laney, she was a surprise. Finding out she's connected to his family, even better. He doesn't want to let her go, but he fears he has too many secrets, too many things he can't tell her yet, to keep her.

MJ Steel keeps giving us these Steel boys. I think she's secretly trying to kill us with all the sexiness. Dear Lord, Dominic!!!! You'll need a change of panties for this man's sexiness. It can not be contained.

As the story line gets deeper and deeper, I'll admit, if it doesn't have your full attention you can easily get lost. The secrets continue to unravel, lies exposed, lives ruined, wrongs made right. Dominic: The Prince pulls us deeper in to the web and you are anxious to find out what is going to happen next.

Dominic is a sexy, mysterious, heart pounding, roller coaster. Do not miss this amazing addiiton to the Ties of Steel.

**REVIEW TOUR GIVEAWAY** SCAVENGE ~SMOLDERING 1.5~ TIFFANY ALEMAN WITH BONUS REVIEW OF SMOLDERING

Title: Scavenge
Author: Tiffany Aleman
Series: Smoldering 1.5
Release Date: December 23, 2014
Christmas is a time for family and friends. A time to be with those we love and cherish, the ones who make our heart beat. But when the love of your life is half way around the world, how do you let the spirit of the holidays lift you up and bring you cheer?

Kelsey and Riley spent more time apart than together early on in their relationship, but now he's away for a different reason. Riley’s absence while deployed is taking a toll on Kelsey. She finds herself crying more often than not and distancing herself from the people who are there for her the most.

Riley employs the help of some friends to make Kelsey's Christmas without him a special one. A series of notes and gifts remind her of the good times they have shared so far and the ones to come.

Is Kelsey strong enough to handle one of the happiest holidays separated from the man who completes her in every way?

Will Kelsey scavenge for the strength she needs to embrace the role of a military girlfriend or will she crack under the pressure from the distance?

Only she knows how much she can take….
*****
Tiffany Aleman is back with a followup to the Best Seller Smoldering. While we got the end result of Riley & Kelsey's relationship, a little piece was missing. How did she survive her first deployment? Scavenge answers that question. Riley takes us on their journey on how he strategically involves her best friends in helping her survive what will be the loneliest time of her life.

Tiffany Aleman does a military relationship justice. Maybe it's because of her own personal life, but she has the knowledge, skill, and story telling ability to pull her readers into the scene, and make you feel as though you are watching it in real time. You feel Kelsey's pain, her loneliness, her happiness, her joy.

Amazing job Tiffany. You work is spot on, and undoubtedly will have another best seller. I can't wait to get more of Riley and Kelsey. I wasn't ready for this one to end. <3

SMOLDERING REVIEW


I finally breathed. I felt it hard to breathe through so much of this book. Not many books do that to me, but this one did. My kindle is lucky I didn’t throw it across the room and against the wall. It wouldn’t have survived.

Kelsey’s family and her fiancĂ©: I wanted to throat-punch all-three. OMG! She gets away from them with the type of best friend we all dream of having. For two years she is finding who she really is, then in walks the man of her dreams and they make such a connection…I can breathe. They are so happy.  Then someone from her past comes back in to cause problems and what happens next…holding my breath again.
Riley is the man of all of our dreams. He has the family we all dream of having. But, he is just a man; he can only handle so much. He and Kelsey both make some wrong choices and cause each other pain. Getting this relationship right will be some work.

Tiffany made this book so true-to-life: with Riley being in the military and Kelsey having to deal with that life-style, with past hurts from each other and other people, with how to forgive and move on, with how other’s (friends and foe) cause problems and help get them from point A to point B.

My emotions were all over the place. When a book does that to you, you know it is good. It was also a hot book as well. She knows how to write that, but it wasn’t over-wrought with those scenes. However, when you get to one, you know it! ;)

Well, done, Tiffany! 5 stars!

SCAVENGE REVIEW

Scavenge takes place during the end of the book Smoldering only told in more detail. It is while Riley is on deployment during the Christmas holiday and Kelsey finds herself questioning how strong she is and how she will be able to make it worrying herself over Riley and his safety and being away from him during such an important time in their relationship.

Riley is one smart man. He uses some close friends to keep things going on the home front while he is away to make the holidays special and always making Kelsey feel loved and adored. Kelsey, though, must also realize she must do a few things too make Riley feel loved, special and adored and realize she has to make a few sacrifices on his behalf.

Tiffany must know the heartache of the military life in some way to nail the emotions of this book so well. It kept my interests and made me think of all of the couples I know that are going through or have gone through this and how strong they are/have been. What a beautiful, beautiful book. We should all read this to get insight into what military families go through and sacrifice for our country.

5 BIG GOLDEN STARS!
*****
Hey everyone! I'm the author of the International Bestseller, Smoldering. I'm a mom of 2 great kids and I'm married to my best friend. I live in the deep south and wouldn't have it any other way. Originally, I hail from Austin, Texas.

I've been writing ever since I was kid but I decided to put my passion to use in May of 2013. Smoldering is my solo debut. It's a book that took up residence in my mind and wouldn't leave me alone until I finally decided to write it.

When I'm not writing I can be found on the beach with my family and friends or out in the woods getting dirty in some Georgia clay on a four-wheeler.

Title: Affliction (Knights Rebels MC #2)
Author: River Savage
Release Date: November 30, 2014
Add to your TBR: Goodreads
Cover Designer: LM Creations







***



Three little words are all it takes to rip his world apart. Lost in his own affliction, Sy has been living in a darkness that he doesn't ever want to let go of. 



Until she arrives and shines her light so bright that nothing else mattered.

She was only in it for the chase, for the thrill of capturing the unattainable.
But what happens when her world shatters around her, spiraling her into the darkness beside him?

Can his affliction be her resurrection?
Or will two lost souls living in the depths of deception let it destroy them?


***


Sy is living in hell. Every day, he's haunted by memories he can't escape. Memories he doesn't want to escape. He's content to work in his shop, take care of business, and live his life with the club. 

Jesse wanted the dark, haunted, handsome biker. Use to getting whatever she wants, when Sy ignores her, it sets her on a mission to piss him off. And boy does she. But when her world falls around her, she finds that Sy is the only one who can bring her back. His haunting is now hers, they share more than they can ever imagine. 

If only they would talk.... 

I didn't think it was possible to fall more in love with the men in this MC. I was wrong. Sy captured my heart, broke it into a million pieces, then he pieced it back together with every word he spoke. I love Sy. I don't know that I will ever have another BBF that compares to him *swoon*. 

River Savage..... I need more please. Like Yesterday!

“What the fuck are you doing in my club?” he asks again, moving his body closer.

“Your club?” I ask, raising my brow. “Last time I checked, I came here with my best friend, not to see you, so if you’ll excuse me,” I say, trying to push off the wall, but he steps right in, his knee coming between my legs.

“You gonna fuck him?” he growls, his eyes growing angrier by the second.

“Maybe,” I tell him, knowing he’s talking about Jesse. “I wonder if he will leave me standing naked after a quick fuck up against the wall,” I continue. His hold on me gets tighter. I know I shouldn’t tease him with my words, but he’s seriously delusional if he thinks he has any claim over me.

“I knew you were a tease, but I didn’t know you wanted to be a club whore,” he replies, and I try not to let his words sting.

“Are you done?”

“Are you?” he counters.

“You left me standing there. I didn’t fucking do anything. What are you so angry about?”

“You coming into my club, throwing yourself at one of my brothers.”

“Jeez, get over yourself, Sy. Jesse was just showing me around the place. And if I decide I want to have sex with him, or anyone else for that matter, I’ll do what I want. You don’t fucking own me. You had me, fine, but it was mediocre at best, so keep your hands off me,” I snap, trying to get out of his hold.

“Mediocre?” he repeats back to me. I’m so pissed at his attitude I don’t falter in repeating it.

“At best.”

“Didn’t feel like that when your cunt was gripping my cock like a vice,” he throws back, his words causing my pussy to throb.

“That’s called pelvic floor muscle exercises,” I say, ignoring my body’s response to having him so close.

“Right,” he whispers, leaning further into me, “and what about when I dragged my tongue through that sweet pussy of yours, and lapped up your juices dripping from you?” he questions. It takes everything in me not to respond. “Now that I think about it, when you walked into my shop, all pissed off, you were walking like you had been fucked so hard. Did you feel me for days, sweetheart?” he continues, pushing into me further. “I bet your pussy is aching for me now, isn’t it, Holly?” he asks, his lips so dangerously close to my neck.

Fuck me. Two seconds ago I hated the man, and now I’m trying to squeeze my thighs together to stop the ache coming from my lady parts.

“Too bad you won't find out,” I counter, staying strong. I might want him more than anything, but he is still an ass.

“I don’t even need to touch you to find out. It’s written all over your face, Holly.”

“Whatever, Sy. Let me go.”

“You know I’m right. You’re so fucking turned on right now and so frustrated you’re not going to get any relief,” he teases, telling me what I already know.

“There’s always Jesse,” I threaten, trying to get a reaction from him.

“Like fuck,” he spits out, pushing his hard cock against me. “You’re not gonna let that fucker touch you. Do you understand me? None of my brothers will taste your pussy. Do you hear me?” His hand runs up my leg, running along my short denim skirt and finding the outside of my panties. A small gasp leaves my lips at his feather-light touch. “This sweet pussy belongs to me. I fucking had it first. Now, it’s mine.”

“No, it’s not,” I fight back, but my mind is too busy memorizing each lazy stroke of his finger over my lace panties.

“It will be again,” he warns before taking my mouth hard, suppressing me with his tongue. His fingers pull my panties aside, slipping in and dancing over my aching heat.

“Shit,” I breathe against his lips, forgetting where I am for a moment. Forgetting we can’t stand each other.

“You want relief, Holly?” he asks as my hips start to ride the rhythm of his talented fingers.

“Yes, give it to me, Sy,” I plead, feeling myself build with each flick of his finger.

“Say please,” he demands, slipping his thick finger inside of me.

“Please, Sy,” I cry out as he pumps me harder.

“That’s it, girl. Fuck my finger,” he growls. The heat of his voice causes goose bumps to break out on my skin. A wave of impending bliss washes over me, and then my orgasm hits, hard and fast.

“Sy,” I hiss, but don’t get anything else out as his tongue is dancing with mine again, muffling my shouts of ecstasy. His taste reminds me of beer, mint, and all things Sy. He latches onto my tongue, sucking it hard into his mouth, sending pleasure and pain rolling through my body.



Fuck, this man is dangerous with his bad-boy attitude, his sexy as hell dirty mouth and his ability to take me on the highest of highs in less than a minute. He slows the kiss, lingering for a moment before resting his forehead on mine. This right here is why this man is dangerous: bringing me apart in the middle of the club, and making me forget I hate him. Removing his fingers, he brings them to his mouth and sucks them clean.

B&N  /  Kobo  /  iBooks






Phoenix ‘Nix’ Knight thought pulling his club out of the illegal shit his Pops got them into was difficult. 



Until he meets Kadence. 



Kadence Turner has no business lusting over a student’s father, especially the president of the Knights Rebels MC. Nix is crass, obnoxious and dangerously sexy and for some reason, Kadence can’t seem to hate him for it. The bossy biker breaks down her defenses, but unlike the old Kadence, the woman she is today won’t give in without a fight. 

The tension is undeniable, the attraction fierce. A man that wants what he wants and a woman that will fight him every step of the way.



Nix Knight - VP of Knights Rebels MC, and dad - had no clue what the hell he was walking into when he opened the door of that classroom. He never expected to want to bend his son's teacher over the desk. Little did he know Kadence Turner would turn his world upside down. 

Nix had his run with marriage with his ex. Now, all he wants to do is raise his boy, take care of his "family", and ride his bike. Oh and get his Pops out of the President seat before he kills the whole club. 

Kadence was attracted to Nix from the moment he set foot in her classroom. Being the teacher she is, she's concerned over her growing attraction for him, and over the withdrawal she's seeing from his son. She didn't expect Nix to be as determined as he is. 

This was my first novel by Author River Savage. It won't be the last. She's set off a MC obsession within me, and that's all I've read for the past week. See above for my thoughts on Affliction book 2 in the Knights Rebels MC.
