"Two rings. One of ink and one of gold."

This series, seriously in my top 5 favorite! From book 1 and 2, to this long awaited (for me) finale, I've been in love with this story, these characters, and this author for writing this series.

This books picks right up where the second book ended. So we know that Grizz is alive. But how will Ginny react to this news since she's married to Tommy now? How will she tell Tommy? *WHAT* will she tell Tommy?

No quick answers in this book. We are taken back in time, and into the "present", by Ginny, Tommy, Mimi, and Grizz, as the story is told from different POVs. Usually this is a hard thing for an author to pull off, but Beth Flynn makes it look easy. The storyline is seamless.

I was excited to learn all the secrets, and at the same time I didn't want it to end.

I love Ginny with Tommy and I love Ginny with Grizz. To have one soulmate in one's lifetime is miraculous, but Ginny had two.

There were some great openings for spinoff series', and I'm hoping we'll see more of Mimi and Christian at some point. Seems they could have a love like dear old mom and dad!

And by the way.... Grizz?

Nicole James does it again! Book 5 in the Evil Dead MC Series is a hit for me! I absolutely love this series, Shades being my favorite character, and we see get to see a lot of him in this book, but Ghost is just one big ol' sexy hunk of man in his own right!

Ghost is a member of the Alabama Chapter of the Evil Dead MC, and he's happily going down the road he's chosen for himself, until one day he hears from Jessie, his once upon a time step-sister. She's in trouble and needs his help. That's all he knows since he hasn't been able to reach her since speaking with her briefly, once.

Jessie is running, and she knows that she needs to get to Sturgis, SD, where the Sturgis Rally, a big annual meet of all Motorcycle Clubs, including all chapters of The Evil Dead, is held. She is hoping against all hope to find "Billy" a.k.a. Ghost at the Rally. She hitchhikes from Seattle to Sturgis and takes a chance in thousands that she'll find the only man she knows can help her.

Ghost and Jessie, do find each other, and Jessie brings a whole lotta trouble down on Ghost and his club.

They both have secrets. Secrets that can be devastating to the other. Secrets that can break the trust they have for each other. Can their tenuous relationship take the burden of these secrets if they are revealed? *Will* they be revealed?

Some of the characters from the previous books make appearances in this book, and I loved seeing everyone of them again! There are some new characters that are introduced that I can't wait to read more about.

Blood. I need more of him! And to find out that is the next book to come out...

Well, needless to say, I'm very excited about *that*.

Bravo Nicole James, for another great story, with characters, old and new, that I fell in love with!

Ten by Ker Dukey

TEN: My Brothers Best Friend by Ker Dukey

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Writing: ★★★★★
Story: ★★★★★
Characters: ★★★★★

Overall rating: 5.0

"People like us, who are meant to be together, always find a way back to each other, even if we have to take detours to get there."

This book sucked me in right away, and I knew that a book written by Ker Dukey, the queen of "Dark Erotica" would do exactly that.. I thought I was prepared. I was wrong.

I instantly connected with Alex and Dalton, "Ten"... and felt every shred of pain along the way when they first saw each other again. The flashbacks were perfectly placed and really let me know the characters.

As I was reading, I was in love with the story, but I felt that it wasn't really "dark", almost romantic... how wrong I was. In true Ker Dukey style, she hit me in the gut and made me gasp... several times. I actually had to put the book down, and breathe.

I read almost the entire book in one setting, had to put it down, and all I could think about was what was going to happen next. I *love* when a book can do that to me. Pull me in and make me a part of it.

Alex and Dalton are soulmates. Two halves of a whole. They only shine when they are close to each other, separate them and it's like turning a bulb down to half wattage. They crave each other; body, mind, and soul.

But there's also hate. Crippling unbelievable hate.

Dalton was sent to prison for 10 years, after being set up by Alex's brother, Jonah. And he knew that Alex helped set him up. And that set *him* up for a thirst for revenge.

After Dalton gets out of prison, he becomes the man, the Moore, that he always swore he'd never be. He's in the family business, worse yet, he's *head* of the family business. And he want's Jonah.

Alex's father dies, and that brings her back to town. To her childhood home, which is right across the street from Dalton's childhood home.

Alex's welcome home is anything but warm and fuzzy, and she doesn't understand why. Why wouldn't Dalton read her letters all those years ago, why doesn't he love her any more, and why does he look at her with such murderous rage. None of it makes sense to her.

"We will always be two hearts with one beat, two minds with one thought."

The memories that are shared via flashbacks, made me feel so sorry for the loss of such an innocent love.

Secondary characters:
Six... I think I'm a little bit in love with him too, and I'm looking *SO* forward to his story coming out next!

Lisa. OMG! Rage! That is all I feel for her. I wanted to just reach through my Kindle and choke her. I hope we find out more about her character in the next book.

This is definately a series that I'll continue!

5 *Perfect Ending* Stars

Bravo! I loved the Indebted Series, every single book, but it was time for it to end. To go out "on top". I was ready, and so were Jethro and Nila. The only thing left to do is read the Indebted Epilogue, to find out how Jethro and Nila move on. I *am* anxious to read their (hopefully) "happily ever after". And did I just see somewhere that there is going to be a prequel? Indebted Beginnings Oh hell yeah! Bring it on!

From the very first book I was hooked, and I can't even begin to decide which book in this series was my favorite. Possibly the Second Debt... perhaps it was this one seeing Nila and Jethro grow as people, one getting stronger, one finally allowing a bit of vulnerability. Both showing both of those traits at different times.

Bonnie and Cut and Daniel.. Oh my! Oh how I despised these crazy fucked up characters through this whole series. They're all just plain crazy! So many times I wanted to wrap my fingers around their windpipes and pull. They are all necessary evils, and without them, there would be no story. But, damn... they're all so twisted!

But this book also showed the human side of these characters that I had come to believe were less than capable of anything but cruelty. So many things were finalized, answered, wrapped up. So much redemption, forgiveness, and answers are found in this book, and all were done very well. And a lot of history was shared.

I love dark reads.. dark non-con filled with all sorts of taboo, and this saga hit every love, and took me places that my mind would have never thought possible.

This book also had some unexpected POVs that were very welcome. Some were tear worthy. But all were fitting for this book. There were a couple times I was ready for this book to move along, but for the most part, I really wouldn't change a thing.

The transformations in the main characters in this saga were always ongoing.

Enemies Unknown
Hawk and Weaver
Kite and Needle
Jethro and Nila
Friends and lovers

And finally...

Soulmates.

Soul shredding, heart wrenching, and beautiful. This series will go down as *the* top series for me. My very favorite. Well done, Pepper Winters!

But wait! That's not all! Lets not forget Nila's core in this review (as I've made mention of in my other reviews of this series!) Just a little fun. It didn't go unnoticed that Pepper toned down Nila's clenching core in this book! Which I was *really* happy to see. I really worried about all the things that her core was doing, that it was going to wear itself out! But in this final book, her core only clenched once, Jethro pulled on that invisible cord, (that was new), between Nila's breast and core causing her womb to clench and wetness to weep, her core grew wet, and then finally... finally her core "detonated"! Such a fitting finalé for Nila's over active core!

*****5 "Roger, Raven One" Stars *****

Oh my heart, my emotions! This book. To quote Mark...


"Holy fucking shit!"


There are a lot of characters in play in this book, and at times, I did have to look back to see who a certain character was, but each and every one of them are there for a reason, they have a purpose, so even though there were "a lot", there weren't "too many".

A side note, I found it amusing that the character names were almost biblical. Mark, John, Paul, Mike (Michael)... and Luka is pretty close to Luke.

This book is full of lies and deceit, twists and turns, darkness and light, and love. I loved every turn of the page. I couldn't put this book down, even woke up at 4 in the morning thinking about it, so I got a cup of coffee and curled up to read! Yes, it's that good and that engaging!

Ms. Drake is a recently new author to me, having read the first 2 books in her
, and while waiting for the third book in that series to come out I decided to read this series. Could an author hit a home run for me with more than one series? Oh yeah!

Savannah Miller and Cole Logan. They left me... Broken by the end of this book.

Warning, this book has a MAJOR cliffhanger, so have book 2, locked and loaded!

*****5 Creepy Jimmy Stars!*****

First of all I want to mention the cover of this book. It's the perfect rendition of what, in my mind, Emily looks like, and it really helped me to envision her throughout the book. Well done!

Darkness Follows picks up right where Darkness Lurks leaves off. Emily has been taken by Jimmy Lasko and he's got her gagged and ziptied to an old wooden chair. Emily is, naturally, frightened and is trying to calm herself when the door opens and a masked man walks in. But worse than that, there's a computer in the room, and it's broadcasting directly to Seth and the OPD. Seth and his co-workers can see and hear everything that is happening to Emily.

Seth is beside himself, and he blames himself for Emily getting kidnapped. If only he hadn't allowed himself to get to close. If only, if only, if only..

Days and days pass before Emily finally gets the chance to escape, and she takes full advantage of it. All she wants, all she thinks about, is getting back to Seth and his loving and protective arms.

*SCREEEEECH*

Not so fast, Emily. She gets back only to find that once again, Seth has pulled away. He's pulling the, "I need some space" card, and it makes me want to throttle him. He feels that if he hadn't let himself get too close, then he could have protected Emily better by not being distracted.

Emily during this time, kinda goes off the rails. She won't listen to common sense, she won't *use* common sense. Even goes so far as taking a mini-vacay at a spa.

Seriously, Emily? I found her to be very selfish and dangerous, and I worried that that combination was going to cause someone that she cares about to get hurt, or worse, killed.

Jimmy's creep factor is amped up in this book, just when you thought he couldn't get any more creepy, he does.

I can't go into too much about him in this review, there's just no way to do so and not spoil something for others. So i'll just leave it that you should definitely read with the lights on and the doors locked!

This book had me on the edge of my seat, biting my nails, and growling at Emily and Seth in frustration. But I wouldn't change a thing... well except for Emily's "brave side"... that got to be pretty annoying in the book, a bit overused. Other than that tiny little detail this book was over the top brilliant!

Oh, and the ending! I did NOT see that coming! Mind was officially blown!

This book, like book one, ends in a MAJOR cliffhanger. But, book 3, Darkness Falls, comes out on October 13, 2015! I'm hope this will wrap up this series, because...

*****5 SHOCKED STARS*****

*GASP*

J.L. Drake is a "new to me" author, and I absolutely LOVED her writing style, the way she told this story. I could picture everything as it happened, I could hear the character's voices, I felt like I *knew* these characters. This was a real page turner for me! Couldn't get enough!

This book was dark and creepy, intense and suspenseful and I couldn't get enough!

Emily McPhee, there were moments in this book that I really just wanted to smack her and wake her the hell up. She just didn't listen or use common sense half the time. She is like the idiot girl that runs into the old abandoned barn on a dark rainy night, tripping and falling all the way, only to run right into the arms of the guy with the chainsaw. But she was loveably (yes, I'm making that a word!) clueless, and totally in love with Seth Connors.

Seth Connors, ahhhh, Seth, I really enjoyed this character, although, at times I felt like he listened to too many outside influences instead of his own head. Seth has been on the police force for a couple of years, he takes his job very seriously, and because of that, he tries to keep his feelings for Emily purely in the friend zone.

Jimmy Lasko, this guy was a Grade A, Class One, psychopath. One of the scariest and most disturbed I've read about. He's sick and twisted and Ms. Drake writes his character so well and so believable that I actually sit up and take notice of things that go bump in the night!

Jimmy is obsessed with Emily. Over the top, creep factor to the inth degree! He wants her, and he means to have her. He stalks her constantly. It's his stalking that alerts Emily to something not being right when she starts hearing noises in her house.

Seth, who lives next door, encourages Emily to get a roommate, someone to be an extra set of eyes and ears and hopefully a deterrent to anyone meaning to do her any harm.

She does interview a few people, but in her heart, she know that Seth would be the perfect roommate, and wouldn't that just be handy to have him living in the same house with her, even if he did only want to be friends!

But Seth does want more, he's also in love with Emily, but the protector in him, not to mention those pesky outside influences, knows that in order to keep her safe, he has to keep her at arm's length.

There are a whole host of characters in this book that fill in the story so perfectly. Everyone has a place, characters aren't just there to fluff things up.

Warning, this book ends in a cliffhanger, so have the second book, Darkness Follows, on hand to continue this brilliant series! I've definitely found a new author to love... and stalk for more books!

Review: Silver Bastard

Silver Bastard by Joanna Wylde

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Writing: ★★★★★
Story: ★★★★

Overall rating: 4.3

4 *Ohhh! Puck me!* Stars

I listened to this on audio, and it was the first time I'd listened to an audiobook that had a male and female narrator, while Becca's voice, like her, was kind of annoying.. Puck's was, like him, swoon worthy!

I loved Puck.. he was a dick a lot of the time, but he was a bad boy with a sense of humor.. and he totally won me over with that trait.

Puck saved Becca from a terrible home life when she was still in highschool when her stepfather was pimping her out. Once he realized her age he just up and took her back to his town, set her up with a family there that gave her a great homelife. Becca's mother and stepfather are just evil and vile. The don't deserve someone like Becca to even be in their life. Her mother is a user of drugs.. and Becca. Becca is sweet and kind, and she worries about, and tries to take care of, everyone.

"That boy's crazy about you-- it's cute. Like a pit bull crushing on a kitten."

Puck has never forgotten Becca and Becca sure hasn't forgotten Puck, even when he spent time in prison to protect his club. Their relationship is a beautiful thing to watch unfold.

"Becca Jones might be my property in the eyes of the club, but the reality was that she owned me and there wasn't a damned thing I could do about it."

And "in reality" he didn't want to do anything about it. He was hers just as much as she was his.

This book intermingles with with Reaper's MC and we see a lot of those members in this book, Reapers and Old Ladies alike, which I really enjoyed! It was seamless.

I'm really looking forward to more in this series, and seeing where Ms. Wylde will take us on the journey!

Review: Third Debt (Indebted Book 4) by Pepper Winters

Third Debt by Pepper Winters

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Writing: ★★★★
Story: ★★★★★
Characters: ★★★★★

Overall rating: 4.6

5 *Heart Stopping* Stars

"She healed me. She broke me. I set her free. But we are in this together. We will end this together. The rules of this ancient game can’t be broken.”


Third Debt starts off with Nila back home with her family, but she's missing Jethro and has decided that she can't live without him. She knows she can help him, she knows she can get him to choose her. But before she has the chance to run back to him, he comes for her, and much like the first time, not all is what it seems to the prying eyes of the public or her family.

However, the Jethro that comes to claim her to take her back to Hawksridge is only bringing her back with one goal in mind. The Third Debt. He is much like the Jethro she first met in Milan. Distant and cruel and as cold as the bottom of an iceberg in the Arctic.

Jethro has put the ice walls back up around his heart, thanks to a new and powerful drug that has proven quite well in helping his "condition". He feels nothing, he doesn't care about anything or anyone, doesn't even take his precious Wing out for riding or playing Polo anymore. He doesn't have time for all of that. He's fully ensconced in the business now, and has no need for anything, especially the "Weaver Whore". He wants the Debts done so he can move on to his 30th birthday and inherit it all.

Having Nila back, along with his new miracle drug, it should be easy to ignore her except only when necessary. But, this is Nila and Jethro, and it becomes a matter of who is really going to save who.

The sex between Jethro and Nila is beyond hot and only gets hotter! Ms. Winters knows how to build sex into a story without letting it take over and *become* the story. It's well placed and well timed. Not an easy thing to do in this genre.

There is a lot that goes on in this book, lots of dark and twisty turns. My heart started with a little crack throughout the last 3 books in this series to finally shatter to pieces by the end of this one.

Oh we can't forget about Nila's "core", now can we?! As with my last couple of reviews with this series, I've shown how talented her "core" is.. this review will be no exception! Although her "core" wasn't as busy this time around, but it did do some neat tricks!

Lets see her core clenched while feeding off of his power, her skin hummed and prickled, her blood raced, her lips melted and... her core clenched each and every time. Her core clenched from his words, his power, it got wet from sheer deliciousness, and it clenched from the longing on Jethro's face. And when her core clenched, sparkes detonated in her blood! Damn!

Her core burned, prickling sensitivity darted and centered in her core, motorcycle regalia did terrible things to her core, and a blistering wave of need spread from her core.

Her core contracted again and again, with heaven shooting through her system. Heaven I tell you!

And finally her core exposed itself. Shameless, slutty little core!

Oh and lets not forget she also has talented nipples. They harden into rocks, they pebble, and peak.

They're dark, they get teased, tweaked, tugged, they freeze, and they throb with the swift burn of intoxicating pain.

It's going to be a looooong wait for August! Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long after that for the final installment. I'm looking forward to every core clenching, nipple hardening, dark, mind fucking page of it too!

**Don't take my bashing of Nila's core, or her nipples, to heart, (I hear she secretly likes it!), because I love this series and looking forward to more of Nila, Jethro, Kestrel, Jaz, Vaughn, both daddys and even Daniel the most screwed up little brother in history... oh and yes, even Nila's core!

Review: Show Me, Baby: 1001 Dark Nights

Show Me, Baby: 1001 Dark Nights by Cherise Sinclair

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Rating overview
Writing: ★★★★★
Story: ★★★★
Characters: ★★★ -1/2

Overall rating: 4.1

The Master's of Shadowlands is one of my favorite "go to" BDSM Series, and Cherise Sinclair is still in the top 10 of my all time favorite authors, so I was looking forward to curling up with my Kindle and the latest Master.

I enjoyed reading about Rainie and her naughty girl ways. She was fresh and fun, but lonely. She was in the submissive training program and she was suppose to be looking for a permanent Dominant, but Rainie was more of a "play the field" type of submissive. Besides, she feels that the perfect Dominant for her just isn't really out there, not for her anyway. It's with these thoughts that she makes the decision to move away from Florida.

Master Jake is a veterinarian by trade and sexy Dominant by choice. He enjoys playing with subs, but rarely with a sub more than once. He was in a long term D/s relationship, but it failed when she left him in pursuit of her career, and it's because of this very fact that he won't take another sub.

Until Rainey walks into his clinic and into the Shadowlands Club.

The chemistry between these two is everything you'd expect from a Cherise Sinclair book.

My only complaint is that it was SO overstated, and constant that Rainie was a BBW. We understood that from the beginning, but I felt like it was shoved in our face way more than it should have been. Thus the reason for the 4 star rating.

I was hoping for some new characters to be introduced that would lead to more in this series, but as it stands, I don't know how much further this series can go, or maybe that's Ms. Sinclairs intent, that the series is wrapping up. I really hope not, and perhaps there *will* be more that comes from her great imagination!

I crave, Crave, CRAVE more of this series!!

Crave by Sierra Cartwright

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A new series from Sierra Cartwright! I was so excited about this book, ran out and bought at the "early release" and devoured it in a day! Pretty much the same way I do all of Ms. Cartwright's books!

I fell in love with the characters right away, immediate connection. Not just the main characters either.

Julien - I really liked how he was true and protective of his friend, Reese, when Sarah wanted him to help her get back with him for just one night. Julien was one tough cookie with a lot of pull! Seems the man could make anything happen!

Reese - Sarah left him 2 years ago, just disappeared out of his life. Left him hurt, disbelieving, sad, mad, and finally "over it", or so he tried to make himself believe. Then after all that time, there was Sarah back in his life, but for how long?

Sarah - For the last 2 years since she ran away from Reese, because of a collar she found in his drawer, she hasn't been able to forget him, no matter how much she tred. No other man compared. She thinks that if she has just one night with Reese, as a submissive that she'll be able to move on.

One night turns into two, three, four.. well you get the idea.

This book was sad when you were given glimpses into the souls of these two people, Reese and Sarah. You rooted for them from the start. They were great together, they made me laugh at some of the things they said. Their relationship was believable. Everything was plausible and believable and I was swept up in the story from the beginning. I'm looking forward to the next in this series.

Hurry Sierra! Write! Write! Write!

Solid 5 Stars
