Patchwhore by Kim Jones **RELEASE DAY!!** and REVIEW

 

I’M THAT GIRL…

The girl who thought she was living her happily ever after.
The one who fell for the lies.
A victim of infidelity.

After months of heartache and loss, anger ensued.
Rage replaced sadness. Fury took over heartache. Revenge became irresistible. 
Now he’ll feel what I felt. One by one, his brothers will take his place in my bed. 
They have a name for me in the MC world…

PATCHWHORE.

And this is my story.

If making her ex jealous is what she wants, Devil’s Renegades Prospect Cook is more than willing to oblige. He only has one rule: He doesn’t share.
She can seek her revenge. Follow through with her plan. But her body will be his. He’ll own her fantasies. And her pleasure. But in her eyes, he’s just a lowly PROSPECT—nothing more. 
Little does she know, she’s about to be enlightened. 

Note: This is a full-length standalone Devil's Renegade Motorcycle Club novel. Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

 

MY RATING: 4 1/2 Stars

REVIEW: 

First, let me just say, in case you missed it in the blurb above, that this is a standalone novel. It is part of the Devil's Renegades series but can easily be read without having read  the others. That said, if you haven't read the others in the  series....WHAT ARE  YOU WAITING FOR?! Seriously, it's one  of my favorite  ever series. Get  on that. Moving on....if you have read the other books, you will recognize a couple of the characters. Particularly our hot male lead, Cook, who made himself well known  in Clubwhore.

Now, Cook.....holy hell, Cook. That man is hot! He barely registered on my meter in Clubwhore because I was focused on other characters but oh boy, he sure has been brought to the forefront now! He may make my list of favorite book boyfriends now, right alongside Luke Carmical from Kim's Saving Dallas. I'll get back to Cook in a second though.

Now, I want to talk about Carmen. I loved this girl. She was hilarious and spunky. I loved her plan for  revenge against her ex that broke her heart. Especially given  how much it goes against how she was raised.  It takes some serious chutzpah to pull off what she wanted to do! I love how, in the end, all she really has to be is herself to get  her revenge.

Cook.  Oh my Cook. This man is hot in all the right ways. Dominant but not domineering. He respects her need for independence and her need to do what she needs to do for revenge. He's determined to right the wrongs he's committed in his own life, showing his own character. He gives Carmen his protection, even though most of the time she doesn't even realize that he's doing it. He's always on the periphery, taking it all in, watching everything going on and if you're on his radar in any capacity, he will probably end up knowing more about you than you know about yourself. Not to mention that the man is ripped and hot as sin.

The only thing that kind of bugged me is that one of the conflicts that built up throughout the book was glossed over with barely a blink. I don't want to give anything away so I'll just say that it has to do with Cook's status. I also would have liked to see the ex get a little more of his due than just being pissed off here and there. The damage in Cook's past is also glossed over without really being part of the story, other than to explain why Cook is in an MC. All in all, the conflict seemed somewhat lacking in this book. I absolutely adored the Cook and Carmen though, so I didn't really care!

I  already want to read this book again and revisit these characters. It was a fun book without much  of the crazy intensity that usually accompanies an MC book but still with a lot of the fun perks of them. Motorcycles, hot guys, colorful characters, crazy drinking nights, and lots of hot *ahem* .....it's all there!

Challenged by Ryan Michele REVIEW!

Rating: 4 1/2 Stars

Title: Challenged

Series: Vipers Creed MC #1

Author: Ryan Michele

Genre: MC Romance

-ON SALE FOR ONLY $2.99 DURING TOUR-
Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28957438-challenged

Blurb:

     I get what’s mine.

As the gun lay heavily in his hand, the weight of it was nothing compared to the pressure
his father had put on him and the club year after year, dragging them all down in the
process.

Cade had two choices: the club or his father.

The club won.

Cade Baker sacrificed everything for the Vipers Creed Motorcycle Club, bringing the club
back to what it was supposed to be—a family—even when it meant taking out his own
father.

It took a particular kind of man to kill his blood, but Cade had always believed in doing
what was right for the club. To him, it was a small sacrifice to make things normal for
him and his brothers. Then, when Trixie strode into his club, full of demanding attitude,
his normal was shot straight to hell.

He vowed to have Trixie.

No matter the cost.

     Nobody steals from me

Trix Lamasters was nobody’s fool. Raised by a con man, she lived by her own set of rules.
Mainly, take care of herself first because no one else was going to do it.

When an employee stole from her, she could have let it go. She could have let the thief
fade into the background and chalk up the missing cash as a loss. She was Trix, after
all—she always landed on her feet. But that wasn’t her style. She was too stubborn, too
damn proud. No one stole from her and lived to tell about it.

With pride, though, came consequences, and Cade Baker was hers.

Trix gave something to Cade when she was a girl, something sacred. And she could never
get it back. She had loved and trusted him, and he had left her.

Now he was making her crazy because he wanted her.

And hell, she wanted him, too.

But how is she supposed to trust the man who broke every single one of her rules, not to
mention, her heart?

Review:

I love my men hot, sexy and alpha and if they have a motorcycle and muscles, well that doesn't hurt either. Cade/Spook Baker fits that bill in every way. I also love a good second chance romance story and though it's buried a bit beneath some of the drama, that what this is at it's heart. I love this story, these individuals and this couple!

Trix and Cade were high school sweethearts, dating for about six months before circumstances forced them apart. Those circumstances helped shape Trix into becoming the woman she is, but it also caused her to carry a grudge against him. And, even though she has a hard time admitting it to herself, she still has a thing for him too. What she doesn't realize is that he's had a thing for her all these years too. Neither one of them ever let go of that first love. Enter Cade. The man knew what he was giving up when he walked away all those years ago but now that she's walked back into his life, he's not letting her go again.

Trix isn't quite on board with that plan though. She doesn't trust him. She doesn't trust that he won't hurt her again. When you take a man that is the president of a club full of a rough group of guys, that is used to getting what he wants and a woman that has become a strong, take charge female that does what she wants and you're going to get explosive fireworks. 

These two will need to learn how to get beyond the past in order to move forward, Trix needs to learn to trust Cade again and Cade needs to learn the new, stronger Trix. Can  they do it? Throw in some outside drama and more sexy motorcycle men and this is a great read.

Ryan Michele is known for writing strong, independent females who give no f*cks with perfect male counterparts to match them making couples that everyone wants to know and wishes they were. This book definitely meets her standard.

Color me an official fan of this new series. I cannot wait to read the next one!

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Pages: 206 pages

Summary:

I'm a biker, and I'm a woman, who was raised by my biker family the Sacred Sinners. 
Growing up an MC brat, I've known nothing but leather, booze, club whores, comradery, and bikes, my entire life. 
My name is Eva "Bink" Cummings, and this is my story. 
How at the ripe old age of thirty, with no husband, no kids, and being a part of a motorcycle club. Things aren't always what they appear to be. I've found out the hard way, that your life, in an instant, can be flipped upside down. And the people you know and love aren't always what they seem. 

Review:

I love MC books that are well written, make me laugh, want to strangle someone, that are hot, etc. You get the idea, I'm sure you are the same. I had never heard of this author before and she was mentioned in a group and I was like, ok, I'll check her out.

I am so glad I checked her out! This book had it all and I'm doing a happy dance that I found her. I absolutely loved it!!! I am definitely buying the next books in the series (even though I have over 2k in my tbr, I'm bumping these right to the top)

This book has a cliffie, so I'm off to read the next one right now!

Reaper's Property by Joanna Wylde

Rating: 4 Stars

Title: Reaper's Property (Reapers Motorcycle Club Book 1)
 
Author:  Joanna Wylde
 
Publisher: Ellora's Cave Publishing Inc.
 
Genre:  Contemporary Erotic Romance

Length: 306 Pages   

Summary :  

Marie doesn’t need a complication like Horse. The massive, tattooed, badass biker who shows up at her brother’s house one afternoon doesn’t agree. He wants Marie on his bike and in his bed. Now.

But Marie just left her abusive jerk of an ex-husband and she’s not looking for a new man. Especially one like Horse—she doesn’t know his real name or where he lives, she’s ninety percent certain he’s a criminal and that the “business” he talks with her brother isn’t website design. She needs him out of her life, which would be a snap if he’d just stop giving her mind-blowing orgasms.

Horse is part of the Reapers Motorcycle Club, and when he wants something, he takes it. What he wants is Marie, but she’s not interested in becoming “property of”.

Then her brother steals from the club. Marie can save him by giving Horse what he wants—at home, in public, on his bike… If she’s a very, very good girl, she’ll get lots more of those orgasms only he can offer, and he’ll let her brother live.

Maybe.

Review: 

I decided to read this as part of my Popsugar 2015 Reading Challenge for the category of "a book a friend recommended" (thanks Kali!). 

This was my first MC (Motorcycle Club) book! I wasn't really sure what to expect. My only experience with this type of thing came from the three or four episodes of Sons of Anarchy that I've seen. Surprisingly, I really liked the show (who doesn't love watching Charlie Hunnam?), but there are certain aspects of this lifestyle that I don't like so I was a little apprehensive about reading an MC book. I loved it! Those things were still present in the book, but it wasn't 'in your face' and most of it didn't revolve around the main characters, so it didn't bother me.

This book was HOT! Hot and steamy and sexy! It's well written with great characters that are believable, likable and well developed. The relationships grew from the beginning to the end. The two main characters, as individuals, grew from the beginning to the end. The book was paced well  and gave you some insight in to the life of a motorcycle club.

I have this quirk. When I hear different men's names, I tend to think of them in bed with a woman calling out their names. Don't laugh! I think it's my way of deciding if it's a sexy name or not. So that said, I had difficulty with the name Horse. I'm cracking up as I'm writing this because I know that somebody, somewhere is dying laughing while reading this, but come on! I thought they story of why that was his name was comical and I get that they all have street names in the club but every time she called him Horse or it would say that she called his name while in the throes it just made me giggle. That was truly my only issue with this book and it's just a personal quirk of mine.

I loved Marie. I loved how she had the strength to remove herself from a bad situation. I loved her loyalty, to both her mom and her brother and eventually to Horse and the club. She comes across as this relatively quiet girl but she has some spirit and can be feisty when she needed to be. I really liked her relationship with her brother in the beginning, how she was able to see past his flaws and just see her brother and how he was always there for her.

Horse grows on you. He's pretty rough around the edges at first but he's a good guy. He knows what he wants and he's determined to get it. He's protective of those he cares about and by the end you see the softer side of him. And who doesn't love the bad boy? I know I do!

If you haven't checked out this series yet (like me!) then you are missing out and should definitely check it out. It is worth the read. Might want to have your significant other handy while you're reading it though.
