4.5 Stars
Logan, the go with the flow, laid back artist has found the one thing in life that unbalanced him in both good and bad ways. Logan is one of my favorites of the clan. Life loving, talented, sexy and loyal. As a lover of all types of women, it was fun to see Logan tangle his self inside and out over the woman that he wanted. Conflicted by past events and present emotions, Logan has to look . beyond the facts and let go.
Meg has a shaded past. Being a grafter can do that to a girls rep. From the moment we met Meg in Angus, there was some about her that got to me. Sassy, confident in her abilities and uber talented. She is honest thief, if there is such a thing and a beauty that is all her own. A fighter and survivor. A powerful witch who faces her past to try to have that sexy man that has her knickers twisted.
Ms. Schroeder kicked up the intensity of her Cursed Clan series with the third installment, LOGAN. Sexual tension fill the pages as Logan and Meg embark on the journey of the third jewel. Learning more of the family curse and surprises of all kinds come out of the corners. Logan was a page turner for me. Family, lore, magic, mystery and steamy romance, what more could a gal want in a book.
Readers note: Logan can be read as a stand alone book. However i do recommend that you read Callum and Angus first. As the McLennans are not just a family, they are a clan. With each book you not only do we follow the clan through the journey to break this curse, you begin to learn each member of the clan. With each book the clan gains members. Hey, not a spoiler. It’s romance. You know HEA!!! LOL. I promise reading Callum and Angus before hand will give you those little moments that will make you laugh, smile, go hmm or even shake your kindle and go WHY!!!!
To celebrate the release of Logan, we are giving away a signed copy of Callum! Woot!! I personally had this copy of Callum signed by Mel at the Frederick Book festival. We have been sitting on this, just waiting on Logan’s release . Good luck.

About Melissa Schroeder:
From an early age, USA Today Bestselling Author Melissa loved to read. First, it was the books her mother read to her including her two favorites, Winnie the Pooh and the Beatrix Potter books. She cut her preteen teeth on Trixie Belden and read and reviewed To Kill a Mockingbird in middle school. It wasn’t until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying several different genres, she found romance in a Linda Howard book.
Since the publication of her first book in 2004, Melissa has had close to fifty romances published. She writes in genres from historical suspense to modern day erotic romance to futuristics and paranormals. Included in those releases is the bestselling Harmless series. In 2011, Melissa branched out into self-publishing with A Little Harmless Submission and the popular military spinoff, Infatuation: A Little Harmless Military Romance. Along the way she has garnered an epic nomination, a multitude of reviewer’s recommended reads, over five Capa nods from TRS, three nominations for AAD Bookies and regularly tops the best seller lists on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Since she spent her childhood as a military brat, Melissa swore never to marry military. But, as we all know, Fate has her way with mortals. She is married to now retired AF major and is raising her own brats, both human and canine. She spends her days giving in to her addiction to Twitter and spends her days thankful for their new home and the short trip to Wegmans.
Excerpt from Logan:
Logan rolled over trying to get comfortable in his bed, but he knew it was useless. His brain wouldn’t shut off. The trip ahead, not to mention his companion, had him antsy. He couldn’t seem to quit thinking about the way she had looked tonight, the way she had smiled at him, and the sound of her voice. He had been truthful when he said that he hadn’t been lured by it. But…now he couldn’t get it out of his head.
He slipped out of bed. After stretching the kinks out of his back, he pulled on a pair of pajama bottoms and a t-shirt, and decided to have some tea and biscuits. As he made his way to the kitchen, he started to make a mental list of places he wanted to visit while they were in Paris. It had been a few years since he’d been there. He knew they were there for the quest, but there was no reason he couldn’t enjoy the art. It would be more convincing for their cover story. He might even take Meg to a place or two.
Thinking back to his last trip, he wondered if they had been there at the same time. The timing was pretty close so they would have to compare notes. There is one thing he knew without a doubt. If they had come into contact with each other, he would have remembered her.
It was hard to ignore Meghan. With the riot of honey brown curls that spilled down her back, those amazing whiskey brown eyes, and the curvy body she showcased proudly, most men took notice. But, there was another quality, something beneath the surface that he could not seem to comprehend. That is, if she wasn’t irritating him.
He shook his head as he stepped into the kitchen.
He was not alone.
Standing at the stove, dressed all in red, was Meg. There was only the light above the stove to light the room.
Logan watched her for a few seconds. She seemed so alone there, so quiet. Even in a silk robe that screamed seduction, there was a quietness about her Logan had never seen before.
He must have moved because she jumped and spilled some of the boiling water on her hand.
“Damn,” she said and dropped the kettle. It crashed against the burner, but he paid no attention to it as he rushed forward.
“Did you get burned?” he asked, as he grabbed her hand.
She tried to wiggle free of his hold. “Well, it was boiling water, so yeah.”
He slipped his hand up to her wrist and tugged her over to the sink. After turning on the cold water, he stuck her hand under it.
“I know how to take care of a burn. I am not an infant.”
He heard the annoyance in her voice, and it rubbed against him the wrong way. He did nothing but come down to the kitchen, and she acted as if he had done something horrible.
“Feel better?” he asked, but he said it from behind clenched teeth.
“Yes.”
Logan noticed she didn’t say thank you. He turned off the water and handed her a towel.
“Mind sharing your water?”
She glanced back over to the pot, then offered him a small smile. “Since you tended my injury, I must be gracious.”
He chuckled. “Were you going to have some tea?”
She nodded. “Mine always sucks though.”
Logan snorted. “American.”
“Yes and proud of it.”
He grabbed some tea and measured it out for two cups.
“But you spend all your time here.”
She sighed. “I have a soft spot for Scotland. And Ireland, oh and Paris.”
The way she said Paris made him think that it made her sad. “But you’ve never been back to Paris since you lived there before.”
“No.”
No other explanation. Of course not. The woman was filled with secrets, but then, he could not accuse her of that. His family was steeped in them.
“Is there any chance that Morin would have people looking for you?”
“No. Well, okay, maybe. I know he keeps someone on the apartment. Last time Rena was there she saw them.”
“And they’re still alive.”
She smiled. “Yes, I told her killing them would only cause me more problems, so she abstained. She was very sad though.”
The half-fae was definitely deadly.
“I know you don’t like me, Logan.”
“I don’t trust you.”
She sighed. “And you don’t trust, which I don’t blame you. You don’t know me.”
Logan didn’t like the sadness in her voice or the way it made him feel. There was something about it that resonated within his soul. He pushed those thoughts aside.
“It doesn’t mean I don’t like you.”
She stilled, then swallowed. When she spoke, she didn’t look at him. “So, you like me?”
Her southern accent deepened. It danced over his nerve endings, sunk into his soul. It did more to him than her singing the night before. Right now, he would fight dragons to the death to make her his.
She shook her head. “Never mind.”
He had been keeping the feelings at bay for weeks. It had taken a lot of his control not to act on the need he had for her. Now, in the dark kitchen, with the silent house around them, he couldn’t resist her. He stepped closer.
“More than is good for me,” he said.
She looked up at him, her mouth half opened. He could smell the spicy scent of her, the one he dreamed about. It lured him unlike anything else before. It was so quiet around them, the peaceful night cloaking them from the rest of the house.
“Then…” she broke off. He held back a groan as he watched her tongue dart out to lick her bottom lip.
“What?” Even he heard the arousal vibrating in his voice.
“Then why do you treat me the way you do? You always look at me as if I disgust you.”
He shook his head. “You doona disgust me. You tempt me when I shouldn’t be tempted. We have no time for being muddle-headed right now.”
“But?”
“Aye, lass, but,” he said, as he slid his hand around her waist and pulled her closer to him. She fit him perfectly—too perfectly. “I’m tired of resisting.”
He damned them both as he bent his head and kissed her.

Audio Review-Reaper’s Legacy by Joanna Wylde
Reaper’s Legacy Audio Review
Joanna Wylde
Reaper’s MC, Book 2
Narrated by
Tatiana Sokolov, Todd Haberkorn
Reaper’s Legacy is a raw and intensely erotic tale in Joanna Wylde’s Reapers Motorcycle Club series.
Eight years ago, Sophie gave her heart-and her virginity-to Zach Barrett on a night that couldn’t have been less romantic or more embarrassing. Zach’s step-brother, a steely-muscled, tattooed biker named Ruger, caught them in the act, getting a peep show of Sophie he’s never forgotten.
She may have lost her dignity that fateful night, but Sophie also gained something precious-her son Noah. Unfortunately, Zach’s a deadbeat dad, leaving Ruger to be Noah’s only male role model. When he discovers Sophie and his nephew living in near poverty, Ruger takes matters into his own hands-with the help of the Reapers Motorcycle Club-to give them a better life.
Living with outlaw bikers wasn’t Sophie’s plan for her son, but Ruger isn’t giving her a choice. He’ll be there for Noah, whether she wants him or not. But Sophie does want him, has always wanted him. Now she’ll learn that taking a biker to bed can get a girl dirty in every way.
Live to ride, ride to live. If there is one thing I know about bikers, I know they hold three things above all else. Their brothers, their bikes and their women. Bikers live an intense life fill with their own rules and danger. Do you really think the passion, lust and love they feel would be any different. Ms. Wylde brings all these elements to the page to give the reader a hang on tight book.
Ruger, tatted up and pierced, this full patched member of the Reaper’s MC will get your heart racing in more ways than a woman could imagine Badass, totally alpha and stubborn to the core. Brash and will just say it the way is. Ruger is really an ass and a manwhore. He likes his women and with no stings of any kind. An ass who has this protective streak that will melt you into a puddle. That made me go from thinking this asshole needed to be smacked upside the head to wanting to kiss him.
Sophie, a single mom who has gotten the short end of the stick one too many times. She is trying to make the best of what she has. She is a sweet, good-hearted and a great mom. A woman not willing to settle. This fact messes with her as her body tells her “YES, YOU WANT HIM!’ while mind is almost screaming no. Sophie and Ruger share a past and are connected, no have bonds that tie them deep. The love Ruger has for her son is not something one could ask for. Keeping her mind and body balanced around Ruger, keeps Sophie on an edge that is both comical and sad.
Ruger and Sophie are like two tornadoes going for each other. Emotions and lust trapped within these two for years, has come to a boiling point. I loved how they both just seem to lose their shit anytime they are around each other. The dual narration of Tatiana Sokolov and Todd Haberkorn bring another dimension to this book. Reading Reaper’s Legacy was intense, listening to it takes this story to another level. I was able to close my eyes and fully envision was being read to be. Bringing the Reaper’s MC world from black and white to full color. Warning- I would not listen to this in your car while driving. Yes, its that hot. An excellent narration for a kick ass book. This is not a sweet romance book. Powerful, raw and some would consider parts of this book walking the line. I call that love. Come on peeps, it Biker’s. Love is not always pretty and sweet. It’s jealousy and rage. Mind-blowing and lust. Passion and sacrifice. It’s an addiction and worth fighting for. That is Reaper’s Legacy! An auto-buy series for me.

I have had my eye on Lick by Kylie Scott for some time now. Why I had not pick this book up before now, I have no clue. I should also be smacking myself for it. LICK was amazing. I didn’t just get into this book. It consumed me. I devoured these almost 300 pages in just under three hours. Raw, adventurous and alluring. Lick is a book I have not stopped talking about.
Sex, drugs, rock and roll and everything in between. David and Ev have instant chemistry and passion. The wit shared between the two had me at page one. Ev is kind of a plain Jane. Going to school and working. Following in her father footsteps. She will fight you to the end and is willing to stick up for the underdog. Loved this about her. David, is everything you want a rock god to be. Looks, voice, money and fame. A romantic at heart, with a gentle soul, this bad boy just want to share his life.
This book is beyond sexy, well written and will draw you in. The characters are engaging, passionate and deep. Lick took me for one hell of a ride that I loved every minute of. Ms. Scott did one hell of a job giving the reader a steamy intense romance that puts the music in the spotlight as well as our couple. Book one made me a loyal reader to the Stage Dive series.
Review-Flight From Hell by Yasmine Galenorn
Flight From Hell
Yasmine Galenorn
Crossover from the Otherworld Series to Fly By Night Series.
www.galenorn.com
New York Times bestselling author Yasmine Galenorn returns with another thrilling foray into Otherworld—introducing a new cast of heroes alongside the D’Artigo sisters…
When the half-demon Carter approaches Menolly and her sisters desperately asking for their help, they think he’s just had a tiff with Shimmer, his blue dragon girlfriend.
But after talking to Alex Radcliffe, the owner of the Fly By Night Magical Investigations Agency where Shimmer works, they suspect that she has been kidnapped by an old enemy of Alex’s.
Now, Alex must join forces with the D’Artigo sisters in a desperate race to find Shimmer before Julian, a powerful vampire from Alex’s past with a grudge to settle, can use the dragon to wreak havoc on Seattle as revenge.
As a long time fan of the Other World Series and Ms. Galenorn’s work, Flight From Hell is a treat to this reader. I discovers the sisters right before Dragon Wytch released. I have been in love since. Flight from Hell is a cross-over novella that introduces the main cast and general plot for the Fly By Night series. Taking place in the same world as the Other World Series.
5 STARS
This novella will get your heart pounding as we get to see what the D’Aritgo sisters do best. Kick some bad guy ass. Menolly, with her sisters Camille and Delilah dive into the disappearance of Shimmer, a dragon that had been ground to earth.
Learning that Shimmer works at the Fly By Night Magical Investigations Agency, the girls do some investigating of their own. Walking into the doors of FBN opens the setting for the new series. Meeting what I believe to be an eclectic but yet what should be very comical group of individuals. Alex Radcliffe, an Aussie vamp and owner of FBN, I can just hear the accent coming off of him in every line he says. The accent makes him sexy in itself. Bette, the chain smoking receptionist, I believe she has many many stories she could tell. Ralph, the techie shifter with hots for the dragon. Shimmer, a lone dragon, whose life has been flipped in a major way.
Ms. Galenorn introduces her Fly By Night series with danger, action and awesome characters that make you want hang on tight for the ride. Everything that I have come to expect from Ms. Galenorn and more. Awesome world building, amazing characters, great plot with surprises lurking around corners. I love the mix of urban and magical creatures, Ms. Galenorn weaves together truly enchanting her stories. I am truly eager to see what she has in store for Shimmer, being a female, out of her element and Alex, the vamp with his own set of rules.

5 Stars
It is no secret that I’m a huge fan of Ms. Kennedy Club Sin Series. Each book has captured me in some way. Freed not only met my expectations of what I have come to love of a Club Sin book, it exceed them.
Mary being a character I have enjoyed from the first meeting. Also learning her back story though previous books in the series makes Freed a special books in this series. Having lived the BDSM lifestyle for many years being bonding to one man, the love of her life, the man she lived for, submitted for, leaves this world too soon and changes the very person she is. Still the wonderful a loving mother, sister and friend that she was, but the lust for life was bland.
Elliot, is a smart business man and what I envision a seasoned man should be. Divorced many years ago after a failed fifteen year marriage, he been looking for that one woman. An unexpected meeting with a woman that had submission written all over her body, Elliot knew she was the one. Being a Dom for over thirty years has given him the wealth of knowledge and experience to read and know everything this woman could want and need. With the ability to given her all and more.
Taking the sin outside the club, Stacey Kennedy steps up the true level of intimacy and passion with Freed, Club Sin Book 3.5! Chemistry and passion don’t lie. Sparks that hit like lighting are not to be passed upon. Feeling and emotions that made me shed a few tears. Freed took BDSM to another level with Elliot and Mary. Beautiful looking into the lifestyle in a light that show second chance are always around a corner or tied to a bed.

Review-Losing Control by Laramie Briscoe
Losing Control
Laramie Briscoe
Heaven Hill MC Series, Book 3
http://www.laramiebriscoe.com/
Strip-club waitress.
Aspiring Teacher.
Friend of the Heaven Hill MC.
Bianca Hawks met Jagger Stone in the most embarrassing of ways. After watching him play music at Wet Wanda’s for months, she fell half naked into his arms after a drunken bout with a stripper pole and the back of a pick-up truck. Avoiding him and his killer smile no longer works when she needs her car repaired and he comes to her rescue. His request for payment comes in the form of date nights spent with just the two of them – away from both the strip club and the MC.
Tough guy with model good looks.
Talented musician.
Newly patched member of the Heaven Hill MC.
Jagger Stone only wanted two things – to be a patched member of the Heaven Hill MC and to get to know Bianca Hawks. One for two isn’t bad, but when her car breaks down and she’s left with no one else to help her, he plays the situation to his advantage. Over late nights driving up and down the interstate and nights in spent at her apartment, Jagger realizes that there is so much more to Bianca than he ever knew.
When her dream of becoming a school teacher is threatened by someone who wants her all to himself, the two of them are thrown into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. For the first time, Heaven Hill isn’t sure what they are up against or if they can keep their family safe. In times of danger, Bianca and Jagger know the only thing they can do is hold onto each other while trying not to admit they are losing control.
4 Stars
Almost too sweet and the Rockstar of the MC, newly patched Jagger will warm your heart with his voice. That sexy body does not hurt one bit. I have enjoyed read about Jagger and found him be a much deeper man that I would have ever thought. With an upbringing that was not of an everyday child, the love from the family within the Heaven Hill MC was all he knew. Until he caught that breath taking waitress, Jagger didn’t know what hit him.
Bianca has a dream. One she has been working and fighting for for years. Shes strong, highly independent, more than able to take care of herself and will stop at nothing to make her dream come true. As she is in the final steps of her education,Bianca stumbles upon two major bumps that could change all she has worked for. The good,feelings for Jagger make her want to feel more! The bad, a touchy feely guy at the bar who holds power to put her dream to end.
Bianca and Jagger have my favorite meeting of all the Heaven Hill, MC paring thus far. A funny moment with a stripper pole in a previous book. Ms. Briscoe has again caught me in the web that is the Heaven Hill MC! Book three, Losing Control show serious growth in both the series and the writer.
Ms. Briscoe beautifully transitions the darkness and healing of Meredith and Tyler’s story, into the playfulness of Jagger and Bianca’s. A fresh and sassy feeling that gives this couple a story that is both sexy and sweet! Funny, romantic and flirtatious, as Jagger and Bianca keep each other on their toes, they gain weight in your heart!
Losing Control continues to show the growth that Ms. Briscoe has made as an author. Her talent for character writing is shining through. Each one has their good and bad. Where they share similarities in personality each one is very equine. Giving each one that little something that makes me love them.

Review- Out of Darkness by Laramie Briscoe
Title: Out of Darkness
Series: Heaven Hill, MC
Author: Laramie Briscoe
Genre: Romance, Biker
Format: E-Book
Blurb:
Ex-News reporter.
Rape survivor.
Former enemy of the Heaven Hill MC.
Meredith Rager’s life completely changed the night she was attacked by an unknown person. Once a vibrant force that threatened everything about Heaven Hill, she is now under their care. The only place she feels safe is inside their compound. When she decides to take back the part of her life that her rapist took away, she discovers secrets that once again could tear the club apart.
Orphan.
Formidable force of nature.
Loved member of the Heaven Hill MC.
Tyler Blackfoot came into the world a John Doe. An orphan from the moment that he took his first breath, the only thing anyone knew was his Native American heritage. For most of his life, he’s been alone – except for the club that has taken him in as their own. When he rescued Meredith, a protective side of his personality came out that he never knew he had. Protecting her means everything – even when he discovers danger might be closer than either of them thought possible.
Together, the two of them are trying to make a life for themselves. Against everything they have, they’re hoping to see the light that will lead them out of darkness.
4.5 Stars
I’m pretty sure I fell in love with Tyler Blackfoot in the first book of the Heaven Hill motorcycle club series. Sexy and mysterious yet this charismatic man, will keeps you guessing. I’m not sure he ever truly answers a question with a true answer. Loyal, intense and deep, Tyler will make you heart flutter! Ms. Briscoe put the heart of an angel with the vengeance of the devil in this man. He is truly unique.
Meredith is a stronger woman than I first gave her credit for. I really did not want to like her. She is presented as independent woman who thought she was at the top of the world. A reporter and nosey by nature, she put herself in a place with the wrong people. She took the worst fall a woman could. She not only had to get her life back, she had to find her femininity.
I believe Ms. Briscoe found her true writing voice in Out of Darkness. I am not sure I can even put into words the amazing amount of growth I see for Ms. Briscoe from her first to second books in this series. Everything from the flow of the book to the emotions, were kicked up a notch. The depth of Tyler and Meredith is breath taking. Events of the book will draw all kinds of emotion out of you. She really allows the reader see what this family of Bikers are like on the inside and out. Out of Darkness is one intense ride. Hold on tight!

Review- Rock Addiction by Nalini Singh
Rock Addiction
Nalini Singh
Rock Kiss Series, Book 1
A bad boy wrapped in a sexy, muscled, grown-up package might be worth a little risk…
Molly Webster has always followed the rules. After an ugly scandal tore apart her childhood and made her the focus of the media’s harsh spotlight, she vowed to live an ordinary life. No fame. No impropriety. No pain. Then she meets Zachary Fox, a tattooed bad boy rocker with a voice like whiskey and sin, and a touch that could become an addiction.
A one-night stand with the hottest rock star on the planet, that’s all it was meant to be…
Fox promises scorching heat and dangerous pleasure, coaxing Molly to extend their one-night stand into a one-month fling. After that, he’ll be gone forever, his life never again intersecting with her own. Sex and sin and sensual indulgence, all with an expiration date. No ties, no regrets. Too late, Molly realizes it isn’t only her body that’s become addicted to Fox, but her heart…
4.5 Stars
Being a fan of Rockstar romance, readers know there are only so many ways the story can go. For me, rock romance is indulging in the personalities of the characters and how the music is encompassed into the story. Rock Addiction, first book of Nalini Singh’s new series, goes beyond the cover and gets inside the complexities that come from being in the spotlight.
Lust and emotions over load when Molly takes lead singer Fox, up on the one in a million chance. An independent woman with a past that rattles her to the core more so than not. Intoxicated by the man and not just the star, indulging in Fox surfaces the past causing her to question and gear what could be. I enjoyed Molly, giving into fantasy through her off. Deep and intelligent, dating a rich Rockstar is way out of the box for her.
Fox, larger than life rocker, has an equally unforgiving past. He work his way to the top. Now he’s a guy who is still in love with his music but can get what he wants. I think love at first sight is an understatement for what Fox instantly feel for Molly. He rocks that girls world in more ways that one. Ways that would have caught this gal too! Sensitive, sexy and dominating this tattooed singer will make his way into your heart.
I never thought I would say I liked , yet loved a New Adult book. Ms. Singh made me do just that with ROCK ADDICTION! Highly intense on emotion and passion with some drama thrown in, made this book a page turner. Well written characters, blazing passion and a blood deep love of music expertly woven together to set Ms. Singh’s new series off with an amazing start. Rock romance done right!
