Ride or Die #1: A Devil’s Highwaymen MC Novel by Claire C. Riley (writing as Cee Cee Riley) <— LIVE!! BIKER BOOK ALERT!!! & IT’S BY CLAIRE C. RILEY! In fact… one of my favorite authors, A. Meredith Walters alerted me to this one!

The Long Way Home (The One Series Book 1) by Jasinda Wilder <— JASINDA WILDER’S LATEST!! Sounds angsty!! “I cannot have you. I have lost you, as I have lost myself. And so I go in search. Of myself, and thus the man who might return to you, and take you in his arms...”- Lord of Shadows (The Dark Artifices Book 2) by Cassandra Clare <— TUMMY TWISTER ALERT!! Tessa LOVED this recent release!!
Tessa: Lord of Shadows. GAH. So many emotions and my stomach could not stop twisting whenever they mentioned what MIGHT happen. Because, you know it’s all going to go wrong; it’s only book two! Also, add in all the lies and emotions that have to happen, and then that end! GAH. Even accidentally reading it, it still hit me hard!
- Uncomplicated Choices by Cara Dee <— M/M ROMANCE ALERT!! STUCK ON A YACHT TOGETHER… “…the day Ellis Hayes kidnapped me—or, he borrowed a yacht and didn’t know I was on board—he’d definitely been handed too many lemons. We faced a dilemma when I woke up hungover in the middle of the ocean. He needed to get the hell out of town to do some soul searching and decide whether or not to divorce his wife, and I needed to get back on land because humans didn’t belong on the water...”
- Omega Mine (Alpha & Omega Book 1) by Aline Hunter <— HOT BAD-ASS BIKER ALPHA-SHIFTER ALERT!! MichelleS is on a GOOOOOOD paranormal kick! Look what she found us!
MichelleS: FLT: “Don’t laugh. I needed some good old style PNR, and this is delivering on that note. He’s about as alpha as they come. 6 foot six, tattoos, Harley riding, long dark hair, and the Omega of all the shifters. She’s 5 foot nothin’, short spikey blonde hair with pink highlights, and super sassy. And she’s his “mate”, of course. I said DON’T LAUGH. It’s hot. Now THIS is hot…. I’m over the detailed sex “stuff” involving fluids & the like. This is soooo much hotter! Do you agree? “Air escaped her lungs in a quiet sigh and her lids slid closed when his lips brushed against hers, side to side, left to right. The gesture was so innocent, so intimate. Her mouth opened in welcome and he accepted the invitation like a gentleman.”
The Nightmare King (The Kings Book 11) by Heather Killough-Walden <— LIVE!!! HEATHER KILLOUGH-WALDEN ALERT!! AFTER SPENDING TIME IN THE ICU, SHE CAN NOW SEE THE FUTURE… and then there’s him… “Nick has only been alive for a few short hours. He is the Nightmare King, the sovereign of a race of incubi as old as time. When his previous form was murdered by a traitor amidst the thirteen supernatural factions, he was reborn into the handsome but notorious man, Nicholas Wargrave”- The Ice Beneath Her: A Novel by Camilla Grebe <— PSYCH-THRILLER SUPER-BARGAIN PRICED ALERT!! A murder suspect is missing, and his ex-lover was heartbroken but now she’s searching for him… “One staggering misfortune after another followed, leaving Emma certain that her runaway lover was to blame and transforming her confusion and heartbreak into anger. Now, pursuing the same mysterious man for different reasons, Emma and the police are destined to cross paths in a chilling dance of obsession, vengeance, madness, and love gone hellishly wrong...” Tasha found us this one!
Tasha: Thriller sale! The Ice Beneath Her by Camilla Grebe is on sale… This one has been on my tbr for a while…definite one click!
Black by K.L. Grayson <— LIVE!!! MAFIA ROMANCE ALERT!! She wants to avenge her father… “...Getting to the heart of the family will be difficult, but nothing and no one is going to stop her—not even the heirs to the Ambrosi family empire. She’s prepared for the two brothers, Dante and Rex, to put up a fight, but she isn’t at all prepared for the danger they will bring to her life and her heart. One will love her. One will hate her. One will vow to protect her. One will vow to kill her. All in the name of family.“- All the Lies We Tell (Quarry Book 1) by Megan Hart <— MEGAN HART ALERT!! Sharon is enjoying this recent release!
Sharon: Anyone read All the Lies We Tell by Megan Hart? I picked it up a few day ago (she is an angsty favorite) and I’m only 9% in and I’m hooked. There is something about her writing style that always draws me in.
Maryse: Sharon, I LOVE Megan Hart. She’s totally contemporary romance but with that dark and somber edge to her stories. And twisty… love her! Please let us know what you think when you’ve finished.
The Blow Hole Rock Hard Box Set by Tabitha Vargo <— LIVE!!! ROCK STAR SERIES BUNDLE ALERT (and it’s super-bargain priced)! “The entire BLOW HOLE series together for a limited time box set!

Back on the list ’cause Nancy loved it!
Nancy: I was blown away by her writing. 1st book I read by her and was hooked just reading the prologue.
Maryse: This book sounds SO good, Nancy!!! Thank you SO much for letting us know. *hug*
- Susan Fanetti <— BIKER BOOKS & SO MUCH MORE ALERT!! Jessica HIGHLY recommends this author!
Jessica: Susan Fanetti has the Signal Bend and So Cal and brazen bulls biker series – EVERY SINGLE book is steamy, real, intelligent, never cliche or contrived and with flawed, gritty and swoon worthy heroes. That’s not even mentioning her non biker stuff – The Paganos – Italian American hotties with their sassy and quirky women. Everything she writes is ten x more than anything similar or in the same genre.
The Director and Don Juan: The Story Sisters #2 (The Blueberry Lane Series) by Katy Regnery <— KATY REGNERY’S LATEST IS LIVE!!! OFFICE ROMANCE ALERT!!! “…While Alice spent the next three years getting her own company off the ground, Carlos became her indispensable right-hand man — executive assistant and office manager, loyal counsel and trusted co-worker. And all the while, they were quietly falling in love with each other...”- Dartmoor Series by Lauren Gilley <— BIKER BOOK ALERT!!! Jessica also recommends THESE!!!
Jessica: Lauren Gilleys Dartmoor series is KICKASS – hot bikers who are real and gritty and dark… Felix Lecuyer the big murderous Cajun will have you ruined for any other book boyfriend. I can’t even. The Dartmoor series is smart, intelligently written with awesome in club politics – not just some crappy biker series with the same old same old each guy gets a girl scenario. It’s hot and believable and has amazing relationships between all the characters. Seriously, you must try if you haven’t already.
The Catch (The Player Duet Book 2) by K. Bromberg <— BASEBALL START ALERT!!! K. BROMBERG’S LATEST IS LIVE!!! And now the “duet” is complete. P.S. Here’s book #1 ➔ The Player (The Player Duet Book 1)- Absolution by Missy Johnson <— FORBIDDEN PRIEST ALERT!! He ruined her sister’s life, and now he’s back… and boy has he changed. Tee hee!! “…When he walks into my office, asking for my help, I’m shocked, but nothing prepares me for what I’m about to learn. I see how far he’s gone to redeem himself and I know that he’s changed. I also know that, as a priest, he’s more off limits than ever...”
Kelsey: You had me at priest!!! ????
Ilsa: Priest books always intrigue me!
The Beard Made Me Do It (The Dixie Warden Rejects Book 5) by Lani Lynn Vale <— LANI LYNN VALE’S LATEST BIKER BOOK IS LIVE TOO! Second chance romance? She once broke his heart and now he wants NOTHING to do with her… “…He’s only a friend. The words had slipped out of Ellen’s mouth, and before she could recall them, or better yet, explain them, Jesse is gone from her life for good, taking her heart with him...”- Darkness Matters by Jay McLean <— HE’S A RECLUSE ALERT!!!! College student is a TOTAL RECLUSE and has a new neighbor… “…Why, Noah, why? The same three words keep him up at night, struggling for air while gripping a plastic cylinder containing white pills to match the white label with his name printed in ink as deep and dark as his memories—memories that turned him into a recluse. A shut-in. An introvert. Luckily for him, that’s not how the girl next door sees him...”
Olivia by Ella Price <— LIVE!!! SHE MEETS HIM IN ANGER MANAGEMENT… “...After a brush with the law, she is tossed into anger management. As part of her therapy she is paired with Theodore Clark, a devilishly handsome, cocky playboy. Sparks fly as Teddy turns her world upside down…“- Summer at Buttercup Beach: A gorgeously uplifting and heartwarming romance by Holly Martin <— LIVE!!! SOUNDS LIKE A SWEET CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE…
- Wolf Nip: Northern Lights Edition (Granite Lake Wolves Book 6) by Vivian Arend <— LIVE!!! PARANORMAL ROMANCE ALERT!
Letters to the Lost by Brigid Kemmerer <— SHE LEAVES LETTERS TO HER DEAD MOTHER AT HER GRAVE… “…When Declan reads a haunting letter left beside a grave, he can’t resist writing back. Soon, he’s opening up to a perfect stranger, and their connection is immediate. But neither Declan nor Juliet knows that they’re not actually strangers…” Debbie recommends this one!
Debbie: The latest book I have read is Letters to the Lost, which has an interesting plot. The characters meet via a letter in a cemetery. I would rate it a 4, maybe 4.5. It is YA.

Reader Question – The book about the woman who was grieving her husband that she thought was dead…
Zhara is looking for this one. Oh I love the premise, and I’m with her!! This book, OR books like it sound right up our alley, so let’s make a list!!! 😀
She asks:
please help me find this book… I read the summary like years ago and I didnt get the book…
it’s about this recent widow who loved her husband and she in a great pain couldn’t belive that he is lost to her
so one day she was at a store I dont remember correctly if its a grocery store or book or something like it and she saw her husband or a man who looks like him… that’s it…
could you recommend any book like this?
Anyone know it?
L. Davis: Sounds like The Widow’s Season by Lauren Brodie I think
Zhara: yes… yes… its the same book thank you so much….. The Widow’s Season by Lauren Brodie
Reader Question – The book about the couple that break into places to steal, and his family disapproves of her…
Sarah needs our book help!! She’s looking for one that sounds pretty awesome, because his family hates her (so I can already imagine the angst and turmoil). 😉
She asks:
Hi,
I love your reviews!! I have read a lot of books upon your recommendation and now I need your help if possible.
I read a book a while back and the name and author has totally slipped my mind, not sure if I got the book from your page but thought its worth a try to see if you have any idea.
Basically the description is the book is about a man and woman who I recall break into places to steal things, the girl is quite reluctant but comes around. If I remember rightly his family were quite rich and hers weren’t so his parents didn’t like her.
*spoiler alert*
*spoiler alert*
*spoiler alert*
*spoiler alert*
*spoiler alert*
*spoiler alert*
Anyway it turned out he had a serious condition maybe a brain tumour, he went away to get an operation and when he came back he couldn’t remember her and his family told her he was dead.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you 🙂
Anyone know it, or have a guess?
Bethany: This reminds me so much of Emma Clark – Boy Next Door. It’s a bit dark but has similarities. He’s rich, brain tumour, I think he steals? Or he’s a drug dealer?. The more I type the more I convince myself this isn’t it, but it’s a good book! Read it anyway hahaha
Jen: Yes! I read this series a few years ago. The Wild Rush Trilogy by J. Evans (Jessie Evans) … So…I just looked this up and found out that the book was re-released/republished under the authors pen name – Lili Valente. The 3 book series has been renamed – To the Bone. The first book, A Love So Dangerous: A Dark Romance (To the Bone Book 1): A Dark Romance, is free on Amazon. The Blurb is a bit edgier/dirtier, so I am not sure if the book has been changed or not. Hope that helps! I really enjoyed this series.
Sarah: Hi guys I originally asked the question. Thank you for the responses! The Wild Rush Series is exactly what I was looking for! I started reading again can’t put it down. Thanks so much for your help it was driving me crazy not being able to remember the name.
Maryse: YAY!!! Another one answered! Thanks so much, guys!!! 😀
Devney Perry – Jamison Valley Series Reading Order
<— I was told this one has a very “Kristen Ashley” feel to it, and OH MY YES PLEASE!!!!
My fellow book-blog buddy, Angie went CRAZY for book #1, and that’s when I first heard of it a few months ago. And then I received a few awesome recommendations for it too, so guess what? THIS will be my next read (I’m starting today). Yep. I just one-clicked it! YAY ME!!! Book #1 and book #2 are both out (#2 was just recently released), and number 3 is coming out on my birthday. How’s that for luck?!!! 😀
Jennifer: Jennifer: Hey there…. was just wondering if you’ve read Devney Perry’s books “The Jamison Valley series”. So far there are 2 books with the 3rd out for preorder for August. I just read them (took me less than 24 hrs to read both). Has the alpha male and mystery/suspense to it. And of course there were parts of the book that I would bust out laughing so hard that my 9 year old daughter would say “Guess you’re liking your new book?” Very Kristen Ashley feel to it!! Can’t wait for the next book! Hope you have a great day!!!
Linda: Maryse I just finished an absolutely best read and I don’t think I’ve seen it on your blog. The Copper Smith Farm House by Devney Perry. Couldn’t put it down!!! I’m actually pouting because I wish I could read it all over again for the first time!!! Anticipating a snowstorm here in the panhandle of WV so maybe snuggled in with another great book!!
Angie: Yessssssss! OMG. The Coppersmith Farmhouse is amazing! I LOVE Devney Perry. That series is so full of twists and turns! A must read.
About book #1:
One old farmhouse brought them together. It could also tear them apart.
Gigi has just uprooted her whole world to start a new life. The unexpected gift of a farmhouse in small-town Montana is just what she and her daughter need to escape big-city loneliness. The last thing she needs is attitude from the town’s sheriff, the most perfectly attractive and ruggedly handsome man she’s ever laid eyes on—and a complete jerk.
Jess knows all about women like Gigi. Beautiful. Sexy. Scheming. She’s stolen his sanctuary, the farmhouse that should have been his. But along with a face full of freckles, she’s got a sharp wit and a backbone of steel—something he doesn’t discover until after making a complete fool of himself. If he can earn back her trust and win her heart, he might just find the home he’s always needed.
