SHE’S HOLDING ON TIGHT.
As a teen, Dawn ran from a life on the streets straight into the arms of Jimmy “Mad Dog” Sanchez, a biker who promised to be her knight in shining armor. But his love was just another cage. Years later, Dawn’s former life still has its hooks in her and she’ll do whatever it takes to break free. When Cade “Ryder” O’Connor, a member of a rival club, makes her an offer, Dawn finds herself in a different, hotter kind of trouble with one irresistible Sinner…

WILL HE GIVE HER THE RIDE OF HER LIFE?
Cade is an outlaw biker with allegiance to one thing and one thing only: The Sinner’s Tribe Motorcycle Club. But when it comes to the stunningly sexy, fiercely independent Dawn Delgado, Cade finds himself…hungrier for more. Trouble is on Dawn’s heels and he wants to be the answer to her prayers, whether she wants him to be or not. What can’t be denied is the red-hot attraction between them. However, as they fall deeper, the danger rises and Cade may have to sacrifice it all…


  “You’re damn sexy when you’re riled.” His hand slid up her thigh, curling around her hip, and he pulled her gently between his spread legs. “And even more sexy when your compassion gets the better of you.”
Game over. She should never have let him touch her. Dark hunger gripped her belly, and she struggled against the heat coursing through her veins.
“My face is still bruised. Bruises aren’t sexy.”
“Yours are. Everything about you is sexy.” He shoved up her skirt, just an inch, his thumb stroking along her inner thigh. Dawn trembled, wanting more and hating herself for it. He’d just come from a goddamn strip club. She knew exactly what would have happened in the back room. And the kind of guys who used them . . .
“I’m in my work clothes.”
“Sexy little skirt.” He caressed her with both hands, smoothing his fingers over the curve of her hips to her waist. His fingers tightened and he stood and spun her around, guiding her the few steps to the hallway leading to the washrooms. Then he pushed her against the wall, his massive body hiding her from view.
“Cade. I’m working.” She studied the slightly off-kilter set of his shoulders, the weariness of his face, breathed in his scent of beer and bourbon. “And you’ve been drinking. A lot.”
“Stuff came up during an ambush. Stuff I’d buried a long time ago.”
Dawn frowned when his voice cracked. She didn’t really know that much about Cade—his family, his past, what he’d done before joining the Sinners, and what led him to the club. “You okay?”
Ignoring her question, he drew her closer, trailing his fingers over her ass, then cupping it in his broad palms, grinding her hips against his. “More compassion. And a sexy white apron with strings that hang over your lush ass.”.
“No . . .” Her voice caught. “You were just with . . . Delilah.”
He clasped her hand and placed it over the bulge in his jeans. Her fingers tightened involuntarily over his erection, hard as steel beneath his fly.
“You think I’d be this hard if I did anything at Peelers other than hanging at the bar, having a few drinks, and shooting the shit with some of the brothers? I put in my time so no one felt let down when, really, I wanted to be here. With you. I can’t fucking stay away.”
A soft groan escaped her lips and she glanced around, concerned someone might see. But his hands were already on the move, sliding up her abdomen, circling her rib cage, and stopping just below her breasts.
“Sexy tight top that makes a man hard just looking at it,” he whispered in her ear. “If we were anywhere else, I’d tear it off and spend an entire evening worshipping your tits.”
She tried to pull away, but Cade wasn’t done.

Justice. Faith. Power.

The words I live my life by, the three keys to my success, the foundation I built my entire empire on and now Goldie holds them all in the palm of her hands.

She once was a Jett Girl, a piece of me, a safety net I grew to depend on.
She once was mine…heart, body and soul.

But now she’s gone.

I fell for a girl I should have left alone. I let her consume my life, control my feelings and own every aspect of my being. I tried to keep her, to make her see what she was doing to me, to clue her in that breathing was impossible without her around.

But she ran, she gave up and she returned the one thing that claimed her as mine, she gave me back her collar.

This is the story of a desperate man who lost everything that ever mattered to him… my little one.

I have been excited to read Forever a Jett Girl, the final book in the Bourbon series after the slight cliff hanger in the previous book. I wanted to see if Goldie was able to help Jett in his pursue of Lot 17 and to see them back together again. It was a difficult journey for both of them as they doubt their feelings and lack trust in one another.

Jett was a bit lost after Goldie’s quick departure, he has the need to control everything and realised that he cannot always do that with Goldie. He was quick to put those walls back up and became the hard person he once was. I was sad to see that he didn’t have faith in Goldie, and wanted to put her into his past as quick as possible… Thank goodness for Kace and the other Jett girls, who help him focus and put him back on track.

Goldie wants to save Jett for a change and believes what she is doing is the only way to do so. She is putting herself into a difficult situation, but is gathering the Intel she needs to help Jett. She is still as crude as ever, saying exactly what is on her mind and often made me laugh. I loved the fight she had in her, and how she didn’t let Jett push her away. They had a few difficult times, but there were heaps of good moments between them as well.

I liked seeing all the Jett girls again and how they rally together in times of need. Kace was still his brooding self, and I am keen to get his full story and to see whether his potential love interest will be able to get into his heart. From what I can see, there are going to be plenty of spinoffs… and I cannot wait!

There were lots of twists thrown into Forever a Jett Girl and most of which I never saw coming. Some were good, others were interesting, but one in particular was jaw dropping. I had no idea as to the direction of this final book, and I felt at some stages that both characters were overreacting to certain events. I could still see the passion between them and felt that it was a satisfying end to Jett and Goldie’s story.

“I want you to tell me why you think I’m a bad driver.”
“I told you why. You drove on a sidewalk, you almost hit a person, and you, by far, surpassed every speed limit in the French Quarter.”
“So?” she asked, looking adorably frustrated.
“So, you’re a bad driver, but that’s okay, because you still looked fucking hot driving my car.”

Origin by Jennifer L. Armentrout ~ Review & Teaser Tuesday

Have you read the Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout yet? Well, you should! I have been a little slow finishing the series and plan on doing so now. I have a few teasers for you today... I couldn't help myself!!


Title: Origin
Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Series: Lux #4
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance

Daemon will do anything to get Katy back.

After the successful but disastrous raid on Mount Weather, he’s facing the impossible. Katy is gone. Taken. Everything becomes about finding her. Taking out anyone who stands in his way? Done. Burning down the whole world to save her? Gladly. Exposing his alien race to the world? With pleasure.

All Katy can do is survive.

Surrounded by enemies, the only way she can come out of this is to adapt. After all, there are sides of Daedalus that don’t seem entirely crazy, but the group’s goals are frightening and the truths they speak even more disturbing. Who are the real bad guys? Daedalus? Mankind? Or the Luxen?

Together, they can face anything.


But the most dangerous foe has been there all along, and when the truths are exposed and the lies come crumbling down, which side will Daemon and Katy be standing on?

And will they even be together?

It has been two years since I read the first few books in the Lux series, and now I need to polish off the series. It was exciting and intriguing to be back in the Lux world again after the cliffhanger ending to Opal. I learned so much about Daedalus, what they want with Luxens and what Origins have to do with it all.

Katy was in a difficult position in the beginning and soon learned it was best to co-operate than to fight. She was put in some tough situations which she didn’t want to be in and showed that she was determined not to bend to their will completely. I loved seeing that fight still lingering inside her, she was choosing the battles worth fighting for.

Daemon was lost in the beginning and was focused on getting Katy back. After visiting some contacts he too is captured by Daedalus. But Daemon is a guy with a plan and as events unravel it becomes apparent that there are a few other people he can trust. Daemon is a remarkable guy, with a cocky attitude and can charm any girl, he uses everything at his disposal to get what he wants – Katy.

Origin began a little slow as the world builds up again, but it didn’t take long for things to happen. I learned why Blake betrayed them and I wanted him to pay. There were a lot of twists thrown in that I never expected to happen. There was plenty of action, especially in the second half of the book and I was quickly flicking the pages as there were some big revelations, traitors were exposed and sacrifices made.  It was another thrilling instalment and my jaw hit the floor a few more times before that ending… I need Opposition now, because dayum, I need to see what happens now that things have been set into motion!!



I caught the tear with a kiss. “And I’m not going to let you do this by yourself. You’re my—you’re my everything, Kat.” At the sound of her soft inhale, I smiled again. “Come on, Kitten, did you really expect anything less from me? I love you.”

Paperback Pg 114

A soldier pulled a gun, and I lifted mine, squeezing off a round. The kickback startled me. The bullet hit the guy in the leg. Daemon lost his hold on Nancy’s form, slipping into his own. His eyes were wide as he stared at me.
“What?” I asked. “You didn’t think I’d do it?”
“Stairwell,” Archer shouted.
“Didn’t realize you shooting a gun would be so sexy.” Daemon took my free hand. “Let’s go.”

Paperback Pg 202-3

Luc turned back to Daemon and me with an impish grin that spelled no good. “I have a surprise for you guys. But first, I’d suggest putting on some clothes.” He reached in his bag, pulled out a shirt, and tossed it at Daemon. It was a plain white T-shirt. “Me and Katy look adorkable in extraterrestrial highway shirts. You would just look stupid. You can thank me later.”

Paperback Pg 240-1

Rome by Jay Crownover ~ Review & Quote-tastic

Girls, you need to meet Rome! The big brooding non-pierced man of the group! He is a sweetie deep down, I tell ya!
His quote today is so sweet too! It was a great moment between them.


Title: Rome

Sometimes the wrong choice can be just right . . .

Fun and fearless, Cora Lewis knows how to keep her tattooed "bad boy" friends at the Marked in line. But beneath all that flash and sass is a broken heart. Cora won't let herself get burned again. She's waiting to fall in love with the perfect man—a baggage-free, drama-free guy ready for commitment. Then she meets Rome Archer.

Rome Archer is as far from perfect as a man can be. He's stubborn, rigid, and bossy. And he's returned from his final tour of duty more than a little broken. Rome's used to filling many roles: big brother, doting son, supersoldier—but none of those fit anymore. Now he's just a man trying to figure out what to do with the rest of his life while keeping the dark demons of war and loss at bay. He would have been glad to suffer through it alone, until Cora comes sweeping into his life and becomes a blinding flash of color in a sea of gray.Perfect may not be in the cards, but perfectly imperfect could just last forever . . .

Rome and Cora… what can I say, but opposites do attract! I loved how these two started off not liking each other, the sexual tension grew and then BAM! They were quickly getting naked and it wasn’t long before they had a new set of challenges to work through.

Cora is like the mother of the group and is always looking out for her friends and offering advice to them so they were able to find their happily ever afters. But because of a bad relationship, she doesn’t believe that she will be able to love, or be loved, again. Rome is a little lost after coming home from serving his country. He is all broody and pushes everyone away. One of his low nights lands him in Brite’s bar, and Brite manages to give him a little bit of purpose.

Cora and Rome’s relationship developed slowly, with Cora helping him out of a situation and trying to set him on a better path. Rome sees Cora for the good person she is and his attraction to her grows quickly. When they come together they are explosive and realise they have to deal with those consequences.

This was another good instalment in the series, and it was fun to be back in this world. I liked seeing how all the other characters play big parts in each other’s lives and are supportive of one another. Even though this is Rome and Cora’s book, I saw how the other relationships were developing between the previous couples in the series. If you enjoyed Rule and Jet, you will love Rome’s book too! 


“Do you see me as yours, as someone you are going to be with for the long haul? Because if you are just riding this out until your Mr. Perfect comes along, I got news for you . . . he’s going to have a hell of a fight on his hands getting through me.”
I just stared at him because I couldn’t think of anything to say. All I wanted was for a guy to be one hundred percent in it with me, and here this amazing man was demanding the same thing from me. Like I said, Rome won in the game of life- changing every time.
“I see all of it, Rome, and whatever it ends up looking like is already perfect. This”— I put my hand over his heart and made sure he could feel me squeeze him from the inside— “is as perfect as it gets. You’re my guy, no one else does to me or for me what you do, and that’s all there is to it. I didn’t know what perfect meant until you.”

Being native Coloradan is a source of pride if you ask Jay. She loves all the things her home has to offer, and that is why she set her books in this familiar place. Writing about what she knows is why her stories feature plenty of rock and roll and body modification.

Jay has been a bartender since she was in college, spending over forty hours a week watching interactions between men and women. This 9 to 5 job offered great insights into relationships - how they start and how they evolve in a social setting.

This cutting-edge author likes to write New Adult novels because she remembers being in her early twenties and thinking she had it all figured out, only to be proven wrong time and time again. When she looks back, she see's that those years defined who she is today, and, good or bad, those decisions ultimately set her current path.
