• Sacred Sinners MC – Texas by Bink Cummings <— BIKER BOOK ALERT!! Tessa is loving this series!

Tessa: I started the trilogy that was a question of the week, the Bink Cummings one, and I’m on book 3. It’s really fun and I adore the characters. I think I like the H’s brother the most. Kade is pure awesome. He’s psycho but sweet. lol

…He loves his knives a little too much and goes nuts when it’s killing time, but then he’s with her and the kids and he’s an utter sweety. So, psycho but sweet.

• Speaking of which… Joy is caught up in a BIKER BOOK reading frenzy!! And it was that “Bink Cummings” book from last week’s reader question that started her off, too!

Joy: Hi Maryse, I have to tell you about the MC book craze that I’m wound up in!

I was reading a post on your blog (can’t remember what it was, but I remember seeing the name Bink Cummings and HOPE TRILOGY BOX SET: Sacred Sinners MC- Texas Chapter) and went to Amazon to check it out. Well, I read a few reviews before I started reading it.

One reviewer said it was good, but not great. She said she felt that way because Deuce West from Madeline Sheehan’s Undeniable Series is her all time fave book boyfriend. She also mentioned Grizz from Beth Flynn’s Nine Minutes Series as her next fave, of MC’s.

I started the Hope Trilogy and was immediately drawn into it, but my mind kept wandering to Undeniable and Nine Minutes. Soooooo, I decided to read the first chapter of each book. Now I’m juggling all three, lol. I’ll read 3 chapters from one, then switch until I’m back at The Hope Trilogy. I can’t put them down! I’m now in book 2 of each series.

So far, it’s Grizz and Nine Minutes that has become my favorite, MC story!!! Book 2 is giving me backstory like crazy and the secrets revealed are blowing my mind! Grizz is in a league of his own, when it comes to biker badasses! It’s so much more than a kidnapping\obsession story! Deuce made me wanna choke him, so bad! He wanted his girl for a long time, and their story had so many twists and turns that I almost gave up hope for them.

Then there’s Ryker and his lady in the Hope Trilogy! Ryker makes me swoon. I don’t like how he betrayed his lady, but he was truly sorry and had been put in an awful situation. He did what he had to do to protect her and their daughters. When things were revealed and she had to depend on him to protect her, Ryker and his amazing brother Kade, made my heart melt!

I had to tell you that all three are amazing!

Maryse: LOL Joy!! I feel it!!! I read the Undeniable series (and LOVED IT like crazy) and also a few books in the “Nine Minutes” series and FREAKED OUT by all that craziness and forbiddeness. Both of them… PURE GRIT. LOVED!!! So yes, now both you AND Tessa (and last week’s reader question) have me super-intrigued and tempted  by the Bink Cummings series. Hrmmm…

• In Moonlight and Memories by Julie Ann Walker <— EPIC COMPLETED TRILOGY ALERT!! Theresa read this trilogy and LOVED it!

Theresa: Just finished all 3 books in Julie Ann Walker’s In Moonlight and Memories. It was beyond an epic read. Has to be one of best I have read in true romance. Author makes you understand and feel the people and history of New Orleans, with a love triangle, secrets, mysteries, loyalties of a true friendship that goes beyond any you have ever read.

If you have not thought about reading, it is a must read. Unlike anything author has ever written. Can’t seem to pick up another book because I keep re reading in my mind.

• Unspoken Vow (Steele Brothers Book 2) by Eden Finley <— LIVE!!! M/M ROMANCE/NEW ROOMMATES ALERT!! “…In short, he’s perfect. The reality, he scares me.He’s the opposite of what I usually go for. He’s bigger. Intimidating. He reminds me of someone I’d rather forget. When I need to find a new place to live, Brody offers me his spare room, but I have no plans on taking him up on the offer. He doesn’t know what happened to me five years ago…”
