Audio Review: Tempting Boundaries by Carrie Ann Ryan
Tempting Boundaries
Carrie Ann Ryan
Montgomery Ink Series, Book 3
Narrator:Gregory Salinas
Audiobook Published: June 2015
Decker Kendrick knows it’s wrong to have feelings for his best friend’s little sister, but that doesn’t stop his thoughts from going down that path. No matter how hard he’s tried to stay away from Miranda, once she gets her sights on him, there’s no backing down.
Miranda Montgomery might be the youngest of the Montgomery clan, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t know what she wants. Namely—Decker. She’s loved him for as long as she can remember and won’t walk away until she gives it her all.
But once they give in, not all is at it seems. Decker’s father’s out of jail and someone from Miranda’s past isn’t happy with the new relationship. Even as they start to move on and overcome their pain, they’ll find that their inner obstacles are the ones they’ll have to face first.
4.5 Stars
Fun, feisty and explosive.
Gregory Salinas turns up the heat on my favorite and most erotic book of the Montgomery Ink Series, Tempting Boundaries. Reading this book was hot. Listening to the narration is a raging fire. Miranda and Decker are explosive. They have secretly watched, longed and lusted after each other long then both are willing to admit. Building something before even touching each other. Gregory once again add another level of passion, lust and emotion to Carrie Ann Ryan’s words that dig into your heart deep. Gregory Salinas smooth voice is perfect for Decker’s dirty talking ways. Hot, hot, hot!
Reaper’s Fall by Joanna Wylde~ Excerpt Reveal
“You’re not going back to the party.”
She cocked her head, and I saw the confusion in her alcohol- glazed eyes as she wrinkled her nose at me. All cute, like a rabbit.
“You look like a bunny.”
“You look like an ax murder,” she said, frowning. “And I thought London was looking for me. Aren’t we going the wrong way?”
“I lied. I do that a lot,” I told her, staring at her lips. I reached out, catching her chin in my hand, running my thumb across her lips. Our eyes locked, and I don’t know if her pulse started to rise but mine sure as fuck did. What the hell had I been thinking, writing to this girl? She was so pretty and perfect and had this amazing, magical life just waiting for her and all I could think about was dragging her down into the dirt and shoving my cock into every hole she had.
She’d scream while I did it, too, the same sweet screams that played in my head every night while I jacked off.
I hated myself.
“Why did you lie?” she asked, her voice a whisper.
“To get you away from Taz. It’s not safe with him.”
Mel’s forehead creased in confusion, her brain moving so slowly I could practically see the wheels turning behind her eyes. She might be smart as fuck most of the time, but she’d transitioned to drunker than fuck tonight. Kit. Kit and Em. They’d done this to her.
I leaned in closer, catching her scent. For an instant I swayed, so tempted . . .
“They told me all about you,” she whispered.
“Who?”
“The other girls. Kit, Em. Jessica. I know how you operate,” she continued. One of her hands rose, touching my chest. Fire burst through me, because if I’d wanted her before I was desperate for her now. She was so soft, so sweet . . . so perfect.
Then her words sank in.
“What did you just say?”
“They told me all about you,” she said, eyes dropping to stare at my lips. “They told me you have a Madonna-whore complex.” I froze.
“A what?”
“A Madonna-whore complex,” she repeated, her voice earnest. “You like to screw dirty girls and you put clean girls on pedestals, where they can stay perfect and pure. That’s pretty messed up, Painter. There’s no such thing as Madonnas and whores. We’re all just people.”
The words stunned me. What the hell was she talking about? Just because I didn’t want her dragged down in the drama and bullshit of this life didn’t mean I had some sort of fucking complex. And who the hell were the Hayes sisters to have an opinion? I couldn’t tell what pissed me off more—the fact that they’d talked to Mel about me or that they hadn’t done a better job of scaring her off.
She wasn’t supposed to be here.
“Kit and Em are crazy, and that friend of yours—Jessica? She’s like a car crash. You don’t belong here, Mel.”
“And where do I belong?”
“With some nice kid who’ll treat you like a queen and work his ass off to give you everything perfect for the rest of your life.” The words were practically a growl.
Her eyes widened.
“What if I don’t want perfect?”
“Too fucking bad, because that’s what you’re getting.”

The New York Times bestselling author of Reaper’s Stand is back in her “uber-alpha rough world of MCs”* as one woman’s future is rocked by the man whose hardcore past could destroy her…
He never meant to hurt her.
Levi “Painter” Brooks was nothing before he joined the Reapers motorcycle club. The day he patched in, they became his brothers and his life. All they asked in return was a strong arm and unconditional loyalty—a loyalty that’s tested when he’s caught and sentenced to prison for a crime committed on their behalf.
Melanie Tucker may have had a rough start, but along the way she’s learned to fight for her future. She’s escaped from hell and started a new life, yet every night she dreams of a biker whose touch she can’t forget. It all started out so innocently—just a series of letters to a lonely man in prison. Friendly. Harmless. Safe.
Now Painter Brooks is coming home… and Melanie’s about to learn that there’s no room for innocence in the Reapers MC.
Joanna Wylde is a New York Times bestselling author and creator of the Reapers Motorcycle Club series. She currently lives in Idaho.

ARC Review: Hold Me Down by Jackie Ashenden
Hold Me Down
Jackie Ashenden
Deacons Of Bourbon Street Series, Book 3
ebook, 216 pages
When the biker who broke her heart rides into town, a woman must choose between passion and duty. Jackie Ashenden ups the ante in a seductive series co-written with Megan Crane, Rachael Johns, and Maisey Yates.
Leonidas “Blue” Delacroix might be the prodigal son of New Orleans aristocrats, but the Deacons of Bourbon Street are his real family. And with their patriarch murdered, Blue wants nothing more than to unleash hell on the motorcycle club’s enemies—even if it means taking up arms against the girl who used to be his best friend. She’s done quite a bit of growing up, and suddenly their chemistry is red-hot. But where’s the line between ruthless seduction and sweet temptation?
For Alice Day, loyalty is everything. When Blue skipped town, she had no choice but to adopt a new family: their rivals, the Graveyard Ministry. Seeing him again reawakens old feelings . . . and fiery fantasies. Alice could never forget the scent of leather on his skin—just as she could never forgive the sting of his betrayal. But while the Ministry has treated her like one of their own, Blue is part of her soul. And as their liaisons hit the boiling point, Alice trusts her heart with the deadliest choice of her life.
4 Stars
Blue is what is picture my ideal biker. He’s hard, raw and just this side of crazy. Rough, in your face and all alpha. He will do what it takes to restore the club and avenge the man who gave him his life. Not even the one woman, who crossed his thoughts more times over the years, sway him from his goal. Well bend him a little.
Alice is a bold woman in the MC world. She did what she had to, when the town went to shit after Katrina. Protecting herself became her number one goal. She may have traded sides but when it comes down to the wire, you see where loyalty lies.
Hard, raw and sexy. A fast well written read that hits you in all the right spots. Chemistry, passion, twists and action. Everything to keep the readers turning the pages. Hold Me Down is sexy and entertaining. My favorite of the Deacons Of Bourbon Street series thus far.
Audio Review: Delicate Ink by Carrie Ann Ryan
Delicate Ink
Carrie Ann Ryan
Montgomery Ink Series, Book 1
Narrator: Gregory Salinas
On the wrong side of thirty, Austin Montgomery is ready to settle down. Unfortunately, his inked sleeves and scruffy beard isn’t the suave business appearance some women crave. Only finding a woman who can deal with his job, as a tattoo artist and owner of Montgomery Ink, his seven meddling siblings, and his own gruff attitude won’t be easy.
Finding a man is the last thing on Sierra Elder’s mind. A recent transplant to Denver, her focus is on opening her own boutique. Wanting to cover up scars that run deeper than her flesh, she finds in Austin a man that truly gets to her—in more ways than one.
Although wary, they embark on a slow, tempestuous burn of a relationship. When blasts from both their pasts intrude on their present, however, it will take more than a promise of what could be to keep them together.
4 Stars
Carrie Ann Ryan’s Delicate Ink is an emotional and sexy journey of finding love when life throws you almost more than you can handle.
Austin and Sierra’s story is fun, overwhelming, passionate and heartbreaking. Carrie Ann Ryan never fails to make her reader feel. Strong, hard and real emotions. Delicate Ink is more than Austin and Sierra’s story. It’s learning to love and family is more than blood. The Montgomery’s have big hearts and open arms. Even in a time a family crisis, then are more than willing to step up or take more into their hold. I truly love this series.
Gregory Salinas guides the reader through attraction, passion, emotions and life’s surprises that encompass Austin and Sierra’s story like you’re standing right next to them. Gregory’s voice puts a spark to the words filled with emotion bringing it to life in a whole new way. Within minutes the reader feels like they have become part of the Montgomery family.

Dark Blue
Ranae Rose
South Island PD Series, Book 1
If Belle is going to get a speeding ticket, it might as well be written by the hottest cop South Island has ever seen. But Officer Jackson Calder isn’t just a daydream in blue, he’s the first man she ever slept with, and the only one she doesn’t regret.
One routine traffic stop, and Jackson’s past is back to haunt him in the most bittersweet way imaginable. Too good for him and too good to forget, Belle became a fantasy after she left the island. Now that she’s home for good in the Lowcountry, she’s a living, breathing temptation he can’t resist.
He was her first, but that was just the beginning. It’s being the last that counts.
Belle is a sweet, fun woman. Easygoing, likable and relatable. Healing from a disastrous relationship, has Belle slowing down only where is comes to men. I loved that she want to slow things down. Become something with someone. Good morals and a giving heart. A true sweetheart.
Jackson is what I picture as a my perfect southern gentleman. He’s charming and sweet, built and good looking. An Alpha male with just the right about of dominant and compassion to make you swoon. Jackson is a romantic, who was not afraid to show it. One of the thing I liked the most about him.
Ranae Rose’s introduction to her South Island PD series Deep Blue, heats the pages with life like passion and Southern charm. A bit of drama and a dose of suspense, Belle and Jackson give a respectful look at what it’s like caring for someone who put the life on the line daily. Building passion, life altering events and true love make Dark Blue what I call a true romantics read.

Review: Rock Me Two Times by Dawn Ryder
Rock Me Two Times
Dawn Ryder
Rock Band Series, Book 1
A partnership with the hottest new rock band, Toxsin, is a major opportunity for Kate’s small custom leather shop, but she’s determined to resist her burning attraction to the lead guitarist, Syon Braden. Sex is a commodity in his world, and that’s just not enough for her. Or so she thought.
With the multiplatinum success of his band, Syon thought he had everything he’d ever wanted…and then he met Kate. He knows that sleeping with her could distract him from his music and even interfere with his close bandmate friendships, but despite all this, Syon just can’t seem to keep his mind—or hands—off of her…
4.5 Stars
Custom leather, rockin music and intense passion. Holy hotness!
Leather artist Kate is sassy, sexy and the best at what she does. I loved her personality and attitude. She a straightforward, strong woman who can fit you leather like no other.
Syon Braden is commanding, demanding and fall over sexy, hot. Alpha to the core. His personally and ego are as big as Toxsins stage show. A man who get what he wants even if he has to change the way the game is played. A one of a kind rockstar in a equine band.
Kate and Syon are both such strong personalities, that their hard headedness causes the sexual tension to rises extremely fast. Causing a string of ongoing emotions, jealous rage, and deep passion to emerge. Rock Me Two Times is hands down on hot read.
The attention to fine details of the music writing process and custom clothes enhance this story to another level. The romance is not the only place in which the passion in Rock Me Two Times shines. Vivid descriptions truly allow the reader to be swept away into both Kate and Syon personal passions. Dawn Ryder caught me with so many aspects of this book. I truly enjoyed everything from the history of Toxsin(which I could equine), to the recording of rockin music, the secondary characters and sheer about of passion that comes through the pages. I read Rock Me Two Times in one sitting. Leaving me really hoping for a long series of Toxsin books to come.
