Bad Apple (Uncertain Saint's MC #4) by Lani Lynn Vale @lanilynnvale

I was intrigued with Apple "Core" Drew from the moment he was introduced in the previous installment. The name Apple would make you think he'd be all fun and games and jokes and laughs. But this guy had a past that would break your heart. Then comes his MC Brother Ridley's little sister Kitt Walker. She's got issues ..and together these two make for one emotionally chaotic disaster. But what Lani does well is take two broken individuals and somehow turns them into one solid team who would go to the ends of the earth for each other. That's a true romance element I have to have. I need to believe in my couple and these two had some major ups and downs but in the end of the day they always had each others back. Apple did his very own best to fight the feelings he had for Kitt but there now way these two could stay away from each other. One night and a life is created and then their own worlds are turned upside down. Even when Apple was pushing Kitt away he was still THERE ..in the shadows and that stole my heart. The suspense that Lani does best was right there in the back ground and I loved that Kitt was strong and fought her own battles. There was humor and there was tears. A little bit of other woman drama did kinda take me away from the story for a bit but luckily it didn't last long. I definitely enjoy the stories without anything like that . The one thing that I applaud this author for though is she keeps her couples true to each other. I am very nervous about Ridley's story because once you say a man has had the "love of his life" you really don't leave much chance for a new love to be equal. It's just making me nervous. But if anyone can win me over ..it's Lani.  I really enjoy getting lost in the world this author creates. She just has that easy smooth feel to her writing. Always anxious for more <3 #autoread #safe #oneclicknow xx

Road to Desire (Dogs of Fire MC #1) by Piper Davenport @piper_davenport

So stumbling upon a sexy, stress free biker romance is like the best treat ever. Booker (Austin) was absolutely amazing steam rolling right into Dani's life. I love a hero who never wavers and goes right after what he wants. This was a pretty fast moving plot with the right amount of suspense to romance. There were some pretty funny moments and the banter between these two just had me with the cheesiest smile. I wanted more of every single character. I'm definitely looking into more from this author. Perfect alpha all the way.    (Explanation on  Safety information can be found here ) Safety info:  Other then one ex one night stand that tried to cause drama this is a completely safe book. Dani had a pretty much non existent sex life and Booker got around but in every way he let Dani know she's better than anyone and he never felt like he did with her. This book is FREE as of 1/2/16

Tread (Ronin MC #1 ) by Brandace and Justin Morrow

This was my first book co written by a man and a woman together. The fact it was a husband and wife teaming up really made it a special read.  Tread at first came off as the typical man whore biker. But he also had issues from his time in the military.  Being a Marine mom this story hit close to home with the PTSD flashbacks. It's so hard to accept the reality that war comes home with our loved ones and is continuously fought out in their dreams for years to come. I for one don't take for granted their sacrifice. I really feel these authors touched this subject with grace and  compassion but also with reality.    First real introduction (besides a glimpse of each other)  to Tread by our heroine Grace was when he was in a compromising situation to put it mildly. He had to grow on me. But what made this work for me was that the attraction and relationship between these two was a slow build. They weren't even sure if they liked each other at first. But when things started heating up it was pretty much a blaze. Grace was so innocent in so many ways yet her bravery came through so strongly with how she faced everything with fists up and a ready for anything personality. I loved that about her. Tread was adorable with how he didn't even know how hard he was falling as he'd never felt like this before. This big strong biker was brought low by a innocent slip of a girl and he didn't fight it at all. He loved her with everything he had. Suspense is a key factor in this story with the lifestyle of the club a big part of the plot. Things in the MC are about to change and Tread is ready for that change. There were some pretty scary times and I for a moment thought I might need to put this book down to regroup but I simply couldn't and that made this a book I'll not forget anytime soon. It wasn't so much a love story as a survival story with some romance thrown in that heated things up and made it even more gripping. It clearly laid down the footwork for future story lines. I only hope that this author team keep these heroes loyal to their women.. That is something that is hard to find in MC romance. Really looking forward to more.

Walk Through Fire (Chaos #4) by Kristen Ashley @KristenAshley68

Having lived through my own brand of second chance romance, I find when I read this type of story line I tend to be harder on characters then other books. I find myself a little judgmental and with a lot less mercy. Normally my harshness is always aimed towards the hero. Why? Because it seems like he always moved on, skirt to skirt, girl to girl.. Non relationship to non relationship before he sees the one he left behind. Then I see the heroine has usually had either nobody at all or very few.. No real moving on being done at all. So yea I was a little nervous when Kristen went this route again. But she took all my preconceived and biased notions and shook them up and sprinkled them over my head and said take that! While technically that's what happened her with Logan "High" Judd and Millie Cross. . This time I couldn't place them blame anywhere but at Millie’s feet. You'd never find a more loving or cherishing hero then the 20 something Logan. He absolutely adored this down to earth girl. Three years of adoration thrown in his face. Her reasons.. Her struggle... Not shared.. She just sent him away and it destroyed him. Two decades go by and then we see her sacrifice. Twenty years late.. The wall comes down. To be honest I was pissed the hell off that Logan didn't get the chance to even fight her demons back then. But I was quickly sucked into one hell of a vortex. The gloves came off and things went a little haywire. This was one hell of a rocky, cruel and nasty.. But strangely erotic dance to get to the beauty in Walk through Fire. Because fire had to be what burned away the guilt and the rage between these too. After the smoke cleared there was an absolutely amazing hero standing and waiting to love and adore Millie exactly and actually more profoundly then ever before. Logan didn't hold grudges, he didn't punish anymore, no he LOVED hard, raw, without reservation. Millies scars stood no chance against the simple yet immensely healing love of Logan Judd. I find myself highlighting so much when I read this ladies work. This time I simply couldn't stop long enough to do that very often. I still found quite a few favorite parts of course but I found for one, Kristen Ashley is by far still the reigning queen of dialogue, a character talks and you better pay attention because every word uttered is something that can stop your heart or steal your breath. I was dizzy with those physical manifestations of wonder throughout this crazy ride. I was breathless and shaken and never wanted it to stop. I felt every emotion from swooning and all of the biker badass flowery. I felt anger and frustration over the bratty antics of Zadie and absolutely in overload of sweetness for cuddly little kitties. But must of all I felt a healing warmth all the way through my soul, being witness to a couple’s journey, struggle and rise from the ashes while they  lay the past to rest and enjoy what today brought them. To take what was forged in their fire, and brush it off, make it shine and  cherish it together ..always. That’s a real love story. Because love is forgiving and patient and kind and sacrifices. Both lived it and earned it. 10 million stars for the Queen!

TRIPLES with EMMA

Another One Bites the Dust (Freebirds #3) by Lani Lynn Vale @LaniLynnVale

OK so I think I realize now why I absolutely love and adore Lani Lynn Vale's writing style. It's because it just seems so down to earth. From laugh out loud funny moments to sobbing emotional ups and downs. The fact is this author just gives me authentic stories with just enough fictional suspense that it sucks me in and keeps me there. Max and Payton couldn't have fit more perfectly together. I just really fell hard for this couple. Lani doesn't steep her stories in jealousy or other women drama. It's not necessary to make a love story work and this author knows it. Her heroes are loyal and they aren't afraid of falling and aren't afraid of family. I'm so hooked on this author I might need therapy. As of right now Lani holds the number one spot on my Safe author list. Suspense, sexy times and crazy family with authentic love stories. I simply just love it.

Make You Burn (Deacons of Bourbon Street #1) by Megan Crane

I feel like a treasure hunter who stumbled upon a massive rare artifact. Melodramatic? Maybe. But when a reading addict like myself, finds herself lost in the massive and endless list of books that  JUST DON'T GRAB ME!!  I get in a mood that could resemble a toddler with a pouty lip and stamping foot. Yea that bad. See I need a book that  I CAN'T PUT DOWN!!  I simply shake like a heroin addict when I find mediocre after shamefully mediocre read. I get sidetracked and disinterested and just plain sad. I'll have 4 or 5 books going at the same time..and clearly still yearning. Then I started reading Megan Cranes Make me Burn and it was like that sweet first taste of sinful ice cream on a hot Louisiana summer day.. Or sweet tea ..iced with the dripping condensation on your neck as you can't drink it fast enough. It was just that satisfying. Exactly what I needed. From the first dirty, rough and crude word that Ajax spoke, I was HOOKED Like Sophie I was addicted to all that dirty asshole said. He was unapologetically MALE and he burned..with everything that word entailed. This being an MC novel means No butterflies and rainbows were hiding in the pages.  But some hot , raw and seductive cat and mouse game was right there sucking me in. At times these two were so on fire I couldn't tell who would come out top, on their knees or up against a wall. This was the first installment in what promises to be an explosive series and I am so ready for more .. I can hardly put into words how I'm feeling. Well I think you get the picture.. It was just that freaking good. Megan did an Awesome job showing the gritty sexy and raw lifestyle of the MC club doesn't have to have a cheating hero. That is my favorite part of this book.  Ajax had eyes only for Sophie from day one and ..she was enough for him in every way. I devoured this in one day and simply just want more.
