This book was just painful to be honest. I love a dark read, and I do mean dark, intense mindfucks, but this one just didn't hit the mark for me. So many times I really wanted to quit and mark it down as a DNF.. but it was so short that I just kept going. And the more I read, the longer the book seemed.

Overall rating: 4.3

Breaker has managed a few things in his life. He had rules. He didn't mess with families and did not, under any circumstance, deal in women.

Until Lex.

Until Alex.

Breaker has managed to stay out of Lex's way, take care of his own business and not get caught up in any of Lex's dirty deals.

Until now.

Now he has a woman locked up in an abandoned, gutted, train car. A woman he may have to do everything he's vowed *not* to do to a woman, including killing her.

But Breaker doesn't have a choice. Lex has his best friend, Shooter, and if Breaker doesn't take care of this job, Lex will kill Shooter.

Alex is a strong female lead. I liked her, I liked her smart mouth, attitude, and sass.

Breaker and Alex were great together and their story kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the story.

This book flowed well, I enjoyed it and have found a new author to follow!

What to say about this book. Yeah, that's a tough one.

 

First, it was longer than it needed to be. I got so tired of Delilah's whining that I started to skim... a lot. No matter how much skimming I did, it was still there, her incessant whining.

Bryce. Hot, dominant, and sexy. Just too bad he didn't get the attention he really deserved in this book.

There is love there... and from Delilah we get all the feelings, all the emotion. From Bryce, when he finally admits it, it's brief. Basically a sideline in the book.

I didn't *hate* this book, it really had a great foundation to be a great story. But it had loose ends. What about her brother? As controlling as he was, and how he only had 2 things on his mind when it came to Delilah, taking her money and giving her pain, he just evaporated from the story. Did he never try to find her?

 

I just felt that there were too many loose ends and too much internal dialog.. but I do have to say that some of Delilah's internal dialog was pretty funny.

Not sure I'll continue with the rest of this series when it's available. I'll just have to see if I'm curious enough about Bryce and Delilah.. or if it's going to be about other characters.

Overall rating: 5.0

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!

A Killer in the Family by Peter Ross Range

A Killer in the Family by Peter Ross Range

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

Overall rating: 4.6

A Killer in the Family is, as the book states, "Like a movie with no ending".

Brad Bishop was the killer next door, that by all outward appearances had the perfect family. A pretty wife and three sons who excelled, as their parents did, in almost everything they did. Spending much of their lives on the ski slopes and tennis courts of exoctic places that Bishops job afforded them.

With his wife, mother, and three sons found in a shallow grave in North Carolina bludgeoned to death, buried and burned, the hunt was on. And for almost 40 years, that hunt has continued. Sightings from around the globe have all come up empty. No real trail leading the FBI to the whereabouts of Brad Bishop.

Is he still alive? Was he also a victim; laying decayed in some unmarked grave somewhere in this vast world? Or is he still living under the radar, "hiding in plain sight" as some law enforcement officers on the case believe?

Brad Bishop will be 80 years old on August 1st of this year. Would he still be able to be in hiding, or have natural causes claimed him. Could he really still be alive and not sought out medical care, medications, had surgery, all to do with the natural progression of age, that could have gotten him captured?

So many questions, and after 40 years no concrete answers.

This was a well researched story, and even though it's a short one, it packs a lot of relevant information in it's 49 pages.

I hope there is closure to this case, one way or another, not only for his family that he, allegedly, killed in cold blood, but for the many law enforcement officers over the years that have dedicated a lot of their time, and career, to finding Brad Bishop.

*I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

When the blurb says, "seriously scorching content", it's a total understatement! Some really hot Victorian sex scenes in this short story! It may be short, but it packs a punch!!

This is definitely *not* your mama's bodice buster of days gone by! Keeping in mind that this *is* erotica, and the point of it is to make you "feel".. well, you know...

... and it hits the mark!

So if you're looking for a lunchtime quicky.. or a quick read before bed, then pick up this sexy little historical erotica and well.... you know...

*ahem*... read!

The only reason this is a 4.0, and not a 4.5/5.0 is the cover art; I don't see that as "Victorian Era", it's like looking at the cover of one book, and reading something else, unrelated. Other than that, this was a fun read!
