Review: Second Chance Love by Laramie Briscoe
Second Chance Love
Laramie Briscoe
Heaven Hill, MC- Book 6
Expected publication: November 7th 2014
Mistakes
Secrets
Second Chances
Sharon “Roni” Walker and Brandon “Rooster” Hancock have a past. As teenagers and young adults they were lovers, sneaking around, hoping not to get caught. When Rooster took the fall for her, in a crime he didn’t commit, a string of events were set forth that changed lives and ruined friendships.
Seventeen years later they are at a turning point. Secrets have been revealed, mistakes have been forgiven, and now it’s up to them to choose the type of relationship they want.
There’s a passion that burns bright, but at the same time there is a fear that it will all be taken away in the blink of an eye like it was before.
They have a decision to make—do they let go of what could be the happiest time in their life, or do they take a shot on a second chance love?
5 Stars
Roni and Roster’s story is one I have been waiting for in the Heaven Hill, MC series.
Knowing they have a history that spans almost two decades, that took them from lovers to enemies you know it’s going to be one hell of a story. Some secrets have come out but there are still more lingering that leaves the second chance at love in the balance.
Roni and Roster will make you laugh and break your heart all in one. Together they are intense and passionate. Their story is deep, with many ups and downs. These are not kids learning to love. Roster and Roni are trying to rekindling a flame that has gotten to low. Is it letting go or giving in. That’s the thing with love.
Laramie Briscoe continues to amaze me with her growth not only in her writing but the fact that she can put so many emotions into words and let me feel them as I’m reading them off the page. Each book in the Heaven Hill, MC series is an emotional ride. Second Chance Love is a damn good one.

There was no way to tell what time it was, only that it was still dark, much later when she awakened. Layne’s hands were in her hair, tugging her this way and that. His mouth owned hers as he situated her to his liking, stroking his tongue against hers. Never before had she been kissed like this—so thoroughly. Trying to catch her breath, she wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her sensitive body to his. Since he had come back, she’d wanted this. She had all but thrown herself at him on so many occasions. Was this finally happening? Her stomach tickled as he moved his hands down her sides and stopped at her hips, fitting her body as tightly to his as he could. He ground himself into her, groaning deeply in his throat.
“Layne,” she gasped as he ripped his lips from hers, burying them in her neck. His breath was warm against her skin, moisture from his mouth trailed down the column as his tongue licked a trail towards her chest. This was all moving so fast; she wasn’t prepared for it at all. Her hands were on his head, and she gripped slightly, hoping to bring him to where she was, to slow things down. As soon as her fingers tightened, his body tensed.
Without warning, his hands moved from her hips. One hand pushed an arm up over her head, pinning her against the mattress, another came around her neck, squeezing tightly. She fought to open her eyes, and when she did, the person looking back at her wasn’t Layne. His eyes were so cold, glazed over, and his mouth sat in a firm line. He was breathing heavily, but it was obvious he was having a hard time realizing where he was.
“You have it don’t you?” he yelled at her.
She couldn’t answer, even if she had wanted to. The grip on her throat was too tight, too punishing. Jessica kicked with her feet, hoping to dislodge him, but even though he was no longer on active duty, he was in very good shape. He wasn’t overly muscular, but he was very lean and very much in control of his precise movements at this point. It scared her that she couldn’t take a breath into her lungs, and he didn’t seem to realize what kind of distress she was in.
“Don’t lie to me,” he yelled at her again. “I know you have it.”
Thrashing her head to the left and then to the right allowed her to get enough room to breathe, and when she did, she let loose with a blood-curling scream. Even that didn’t break the spell that Layne seemed to be under. Within moments, the door to the room burst open revealing Tyler and Liam.
Immediately, Tyler took in the situation and ran over to where they lay. “Layne, my man,” he told him as reached down and grabbed the other man by the waist. “Don’t fight me,” he yelled at him when Layne began kicking. Tyler’s muscles bulged as Layne struggled against him. It took everything Tyler had to hang onto the other man.
Liam scooped Jessica up from where she lay, helping to pry Layne’s hands from around her neck. “You alright?”
She gasped, inhaling deep breathes, rubbing the sore spot around her throat. “I’m good,” she heaved. “But I’m worried about him.”

Review: Lock and Key by Cat Porter
Lock and Key
Cat Porter
ebook
Sixteen years ago I survived my old man’s murder
Never again.
Never again will I surrender my heart.
Never again will I sacrifice to the Club.
But that all changed in one night.
I came home and crashed into him,
and my past and present blew up in my face.
Both of us lonely, running on empty, and unwilling to admit it.
Until now.
Now I feel things I’d forgotten about, want things I’d cut out of my insides.
Love not only stings when you lose it, when it’s ripped away from you.
When it first sinks its teeth in you, it can cut just as raw and sting just as deep.
I’d forgotten that.
Who holds the keys to betrayal? To suspicion? To trust?
To brotherhood? To family?
To redemption and a bleeding heart?
Right now, I just might.
Grace, a.k.a. Little Sister, is the text book definition of a good old lady. Loyalty to her old man and the club, she knew when to talk,
to shut up, went to stand up for herself, and when to back off. The club was her life. Until tragedy struck the most devastating way, taking her old man and so much more. Grace walk away from not only her club but the life she knew. Almost 2 decades pass, another tragedy strikes. Grace is forced to return to her home for her sister. Returning home also means returning to the club. Grace learns that just because you walk away from the club does not mean you leave the club. Grace is considered the old lady of the old ladies. Loyalty and honor are bestowed upon her by all the men of the club. Grace is also reminded that when the club calls you answer.
Lock and Key is the story for all of us that wanted to truly know what it’s like inside a seasoned old lady head. To be brought into a new world, completely change your way of living, see and do some crazy fucked up shit, and live through it. All the while having the most crazy and passionate experiences of your life. To have a story come to you through someone who is not new to the lifestyle, going into it fully knowing what to expect and still does it. I find it funny that it’s always said that women are not part of the club. They’re only used as the clubwhores, to help out here and there, yes some have their old ladies but not part of the club. Lock and Key shows that women do you truly play a vital role within the club it’s just behind the scenes and kept under Lock and Key.

Reaper’s Stand
Book 4 of the Reaper’s MC Series
Joanna Wylde
Besides running her own business, London’s got her junkie cousin’s daughter to look after—a more reckless than average eighteen-year-old. Sure she’s attracted to the Reapers’ president, but she’s not stupid. Reese Hayes is a criminal and a thug. But when her young cousin gets caught up with a ruthless drug cartel, Reese might be the only man who can help her. Now London has to make the hardest decision of her life—how far will she go to save her family?
Excerpt:
I shuddered, and shook my head, burying my face in his shoulder as he started working my clit harder. My hips twisted over his, grinding his cock down hard as the tension built inside me.
“Ladies first,” he whispered, then used his hand on my ass to lift me just enough for him to shove three fingers down deep inside. Holy crap. I don’t know how he pulled it off logistically and I didn’t care. All that mattered was the way he filled me up and ground down on my clit at the same time. My heart was beating too fast and I felt dizzy with need and desire and pleasure that wound so tight I thought I might explode. Oh, God… please explode! Then it hit and I bit his shoulder so I wouldn’t scream, waves of ecstasy shattering me. My body went lump over his, and he pulled the hand that’d tortured me free. Then it was at my mouth, pushing inside until I tasted myself all over him as he gripped my jaw in a soft but firm hold.
“You ready to suck my cock?”
I nodded so fast it made me dizzy. Then I slithered down his body, ripping at his jeans and pulling his belt free. he lifted his hips to help me, his erection springing free to slap up against his belly. Id seen it before, of course, but never quite this close and personal. We hadn’t had a normal courtship, and I realized with a shock that we’d only had sex three times, total. Wow. Felt like so much more than that.
A little frission of excitement raced up my spine- there was so much more about him I couldn’t wait to learn. I giggled, giddy and he grinned down at me, wrapping his fingers tight into my hair.
“I feel like a kid when I’m with you.”
“I do, too,” I whispered back.

5 Stars
When I first met Picnic in Reaper’s Property I knew this man was a force that you would never want to tangle with but more than wanted on your side. Reese “Picnic” Hayes, President of the Reaper’ MC. How do even begin to describe this man. I thought that Horse was an ass, Rugger, a man whore and Hunter really kind crazy. Picnic has nothing on the three of them combine. Intimidating and scary as hell. A loyal brother and a true leader. Picnic eats, sleeps and breaths the MC. It’s his life. Having raised two grown daughters who keep him guessing and losing his wife to early in life give Picnic another prospective added into his MC way of life. Under the layers of sexy, make you melt, badass biker is a good hearted man, who could kill you as fast as like you.
London is either one bad ass woman or straight up bat shit crazy. At times it hard to tell which. My favorite female lead character that I have read this year! Strong, self sacrificing, hard working and ever giving. Caring for her cousins daughter with major medical needs has kept her social life on hold for many years. London doesn’t know what hit her when the hot, blue eyed devil that is Picnic pushes his way into her life. Overwhelming lust and a way of life that London doesn’t understand. In a matter of a week life is changed, flipped upside down and twisted causing London to make some rather brave, rash and ballsy choices. Choices that have consequences that leave London hanging on the edge with the rock crumbling away no matter the decision. Knowing her actions will carry retribution, she does it knowing full well what the end result could be. A remarkable woman in so many ways.
Everything Reaper, yet different from the previous books in the series. Intimidating, aggressive and carnal. Ms.Wylde not only knows how to catch a reader attention, she knows hold to keeps us holding on. Intense is too light of a word for Reaper’s Stand. I laughed, I cried,I cussed.
Euphoric rage, loyalty and family set into motion a ride that is sure to be remembered. The Reapers have a motto of “Fuck with us and we will fuck you back, harder.” Reaper’s Stand gives the fans of this series a first hand look just that. Deeds done that will drop your jaw, entwined with blinding lust that exceeds any my of expectations for this book. Reaper’s Stand pushed the line further than any of the previous book. Intense and overwhelming, everything I love about the Reapers and more. Picnic and London are both mature, having lived life and have both suffered loss. The two are given the chance to fill the thing lacking in their lives if that make it far.
I could keep going on and on trying to find the words to express how much I liked this book. If MC romance is your thing or you like a raw aggressive edge to your steamy reading, Reapers Stand is the book! Be warned this is not a sweet, romancing, lets fall in love book. It’s a balls to the wall, take what you want kind of book that will make your skin tingle. A scary ride that I want to go on again.

4.5 Stars
Layne has seen more than anyone person at his age should have to being a war veteran. Being part of the Heaven Hill MC has given him family and a way to continue the living in life the fast lane . Horrors from his days in the military plague Layne to this day. Sweet, caring, fierce and loyal. Did I mention sexy with great taste in cars. When a special friend from the past asks for Laynes help, he can’t refuse. Layne soon realizes that he may be more of a danger to her, than what she’s running from.
Jessica has been in the spotlight from a young age. As one grows they things they like, need or want in life changes. This statement could not be more true for Jessica. The Hollywood starlet who is a bit spoiled and is in trouble. Jess calls the one person on the earth who will not judge her and will help. Jess, overwhelmed will everything going on, realizes that Layne just maybe in more trouble than herself.
I keep saying this with each book. Ms. Briscoe just gets better with each book of the Heaven Hill MC, Series. Worth the Battle is a little different from the other books of the series. Our hero needs needs the healing more than our lead lady. Ms. Briscoe perfectly unfold the nastiness that lies with in Layne’s head while emotions from one end of the spectrum and back are laid on the table. Through laughter and tears Layne and Jess will make their way into your heart. Ms. Briscoe has a magical way with words. She has continued to pull me in more and more as we learn of this MC family! With each book not only does the story become deeper emotionally, the growth Ms. Briscoe has achieved as a writer can not go unnoticed. She has quickly found a permanent spot on my shelve.

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.
Review-Losing Control by Laramie Briscoe
Losing Control
Laramie Briscoe

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.
I was gifted an ecopy of this book from the author for an honest review!
Review- Out of Darkness by Laramie Briscoe
Title: Out of Darkness

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.

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!
