I liked this book, but everything seemed to move a little too quickly for me. Charmaine never wanted a mate she didn't even be leave in them then all of the sudden she meets Parker and everything goes down hill and rather quickly. She leaves her best friend who has just been beaten up to run off ...
2.5 StarsThis was okay. The MC Club aspect was very watered down, but the story as a whole was still entertaining. Even though the H left the h years ago, I felt like the h still did most of the "chasing" here, which I didn't love. I prefer my men to be the dominant pursuers most of the time, wi...
They were full of two things: books and dust. Jay didn't care much for either. Books were of little use when he was growing up. When you didn't know when your next meal would be, you cared very little for Hero McProtagonist's overpriced series. He sighed and flipped the ...
From now on, they could really look forward to a brighter future. Even though he was disappointed with Bryan and would have liked a chance to teach him a lesson, he appeared to have taken Ronald’s warning to heart and disappeared for good from the city. Good riddance! &n...
It was even worse than attending her parents’ funeral. At the very least, their death had been an accident. This was an orchestrated affair, and it made her sick to her stomach. She seriously came very close to fainting more times than she would care to admit as she looked around at the cheering ...
She helped her friend stand and rinse off the last of the filth from her body, then brought her into the bedroom and helped her dress in a clean pair of loose jersey pants and a sweater. Izzy had always been slimmer than Roxanne, though now, she seemed almost skeletal. Her eyes were still bright ...
It wasn’t that it wasn’t supposed to be, it was just that she hadn’t gotten used to the silence just yet. It still felt odd and surreal in a very heartbreaking way to walk in and not hear soft jazz playing on the stereo in the living room, or the clinks and clanks of pot...
It wasn’t that it wasn’t supposed to be, it was just that she hadn’t gotten used to the silence just yet. It still felt odd and surreal in a very heartbreaking way to walk in and not hear soft jazz playing on the stereo in the living room, or the clinks and clanks of pot...
It was decent enough for a date, wasn’t it? Sure, it was. She wore it, saw herself in the mirror, and then took it off. Damn it! She didn’t know how the hell to behave when she was asked to go out for something so ordinary. Someone knocked on her door. She opened it a tiny bit and took a quick...
It was a nice, secluded spot, and the branches of the tree bent to touch the rushing water of the river. As she watched him, her heart swelled with love. This was just one of those ordinary, perfect moments when everything looked fresh and cool. The decision to come for a picnic was made on the s...
Jamie’s voice is urgent in Isabel’s ear. “I told him I thought we should just be friends.” Isabel grabs a quart of milk and virtually hurls it into the shopping cart. Jamie lets out a low whistle. “Ouch, that’s gotta hurt! Didn’t he ask you why?...
This is not the day to goof around or test those in charge. This is the time to come together as Mustangs. United in war, divided by none. He lowers his voice, forcing everyone from those flanking him from the front to those peons in the back to listen in, “Mustangs, we'...
Bishop was here for a reason. Too many options encircled her conscious thought. He was here to confront her about her time with Newb, possibly thinking she was milking the poor guy for answers. He wanted to apologize for his actions the other day. He wanted to give her a tip. He wanted to ...
He let one hip lean to the side, just enough to look like a model, as he unbuttoned his black shirt. He didn’t take it off, just let it hang loose around him. She’d been entirely right about his physique. He didn’t have a six pack, just a trim, healthy appearance. That was awesome. She hated it w...
She feels like she could burn up under the intensity of this man’s stare. Her eyes drop to his lips and she wonders what it would be like to kiss him. His mouth quirks up in a sexy smile like he knows exactly what she’s thinking and she feels herself blush for the second time that night. She drop...
All sultry and super sexy midmorning interludes aside, she did actually need to do some work if she expected to get paid enough to keep up her rent. Whatever promises Alex had made about helping her further her career, that wasn’t going to get her rent paid on the first. ...
He looked larger than life, and completely out of place. “I’m sorry your meeting was a bust,” she said, rooting through her kitchen drawers for a bottle opener. “Move whatever you need to set things down.” “I shouldn’t,” he said. His voice sound...
The words almost seemed to clank down to the floor. She thought if she looked, she might see them there, shattered and broken. “Who controls their shares? The others?” Cindy raised her eyebrows. “The children,” Alex ask...
Outside, thunder rumbled, and rain pattered. Excitement thrummed through her body, and her brain steeped in confusion. It was only a few minutes. An hour, at most. The rain would end soon, and he'd be on his way after she rejected his advances. That's what Stella tried to tell herself, at least. ...
Propped on one elbow, he gazed down at her, and his fingers twined through her hair. Light streamed through the windows, bathing them both in the rosy glow of sunrise. Her body ached, a pleasant reminder of the night before. Flashes of last night's endless lovemaking released butterflies in her ...
Her waking hours were spent in a frenzy of appointments with lawyers, notaries, bankers, and real estate agents. Packing up her parents’ possessions took up the rest of her time, and she buried herself into the work and the memories that certain objects would bring up. It was a bittersweet proces...
It hardly mattered; profits from the resale of stolen ammo were always about the same. It was business as usual in the old warehouse they'd repurposed as their temporary clubhouse, but he couldn't focus. His mind was where he'd been last night: in Ali's bed, where everyt...
The fluttery feelings in her heart intensified with every flash of his face. At the same time, her stomach lurched in frustration. She mentally reprimanded herself. Her body had to be playing a trick on her. There was no way she could have these strong feelings for him. ...
She groaned as she sat up, holding her head in her hands. When she opened her eyes, she found that even the moonlight was way too much, and closed them again. “Here,” said a soft voice—Karen’s—and hands pressed a glass of something cool into her grip. She took a sip auto...
The muscles in his shoulders screamed in contempt, clawing down his back. Despite the physical inactivity of the meeting, the strain of stress still took its toll. Under the hot shower, he forced all thoughts of Kristi from his head, willing her image to evaporate into the steam. &nbs...
Amanda sits in the chair opposite Mia, wringing her hands and looking around her as if she expects the man she’s terrified of to jump out of the filing cabinet. “You know I don’t like you to use that word, Amanda.” Mia gives her a serious look. “You have to trust your in...
She’d thought he was charming, funny and – to put it in her own words – hotter than Carnival in Rio. They’d hit it off right away in a way that Cassie never had with Eli. Mia had sat back and watched them joke and laugh, watched Ray ask questions about Cassie’s work and show a genuine interest in...
Her head resonated with Stan's suspicions. Her heart fluttered at the very thought Bishop thought so highly to put himself – and, by proxy, the whole of the 7T – at risk for her. The swooning romance heroine in her thought it was romantic. Stella's practical side felt it was short-sighted and abs...
It opened after your time.” She looks at him quizzically and finds him returning her stare but there’s something very different in his gaze, something animalistic and so hot it makes her feel like she’s burning up. “Like I said, this isn’t the first time I’ve been back.”...
