review 1: I was gifted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Reviews are posted for each individual book or coming soon :) This is a great set of books for an amazing price ($0.99) by some truly great authors. Enjoy!Safe House - Dez Burke 4 *'sFlint Mason left his family behind once to make a life for himself. He went from a member of an the Steel Infidels MC to become a lawyer. When his best friend is killed by a rival gang his brothers request he come back home and be the man they all know he truly is despite the years that have gone by.When Flint is shot and they need help, the Steel Infidels trick veterinarian Dr. Kendra Shaw into helping patch him up. Although Kendra has her misgivings, the offer from the MC is just too good to pass up. Reluctantly... more she agrees to watch Flint during his recovery while the MC goes back to business as usual.What none, especially Kendra, expected was for Flint to take one look at the good Dr. and decided he wanted her. Flint knows that he probably doesn't have a chance with a woman like Kendra. What can he offer her? But it still doesn't stop him from trying to convince her into his bed.Is their fiery passion enough to make things work?**cliff hanger**Rage - Christa Wick 4 *'sAvery Watkins life is not the best. Dealing with an alcoholic father who is abusive and steals her money for his beer is a big problem. She sees no way of escaping the nightmare that she lives on a daily basis. For as long as she can remember she's had the hots for Callan Tilley a member of the Thunder Gypsies MC. When Avery overhears members of the MC discussing committing murder she is shocked. Especially when she realizes that they are talking about Callan. She doesn't know what to do. When she realizes Callan is coming into the bar she does the only thing she can think of, she calls the police.When Callan realizes that his sweet Avery was the one who saved him he can do nothing but take her with him on the run. He knows about her home life and refuses to leave her behind to deal with the MC who are trying to kill him.When he finally convinces her that running is the best thing to do for both of them the adventures truly begin.Outlaw Kind of Love - Nicole Snow 3.5 *'sRachel Hargrove is like a bird in a cage. Sheltered by her domineering father her entire life, not because he loved her but simply because he could use her like a pawn in his plans to climb the social ladder and in politics. When he suddenly betrays what small amount of trust she has in him and hands her over to Raging Skulls MC she is devastated.Jack "Throttle" Shields is the Vice President of the rival Prairie Devils MC. His only thought when he saw Rachel in the hands of the Raging Skulls MC was that he had to save her. To him she looked like an angel on earth. From the start he had an interest in Rachel. He didn't understand how after so many years of being alone he suddenly had thoughts of having an old lady. As long as it was her and only her by his side.Jack is determined to protect Rachel at all costs. Even if it means starting a war with another MC or making her father pay for what he did to her.I did enjoy the storyline. I liked Jack from the start. He had a very sweet side to him that balanced out the dark. My problem is that I felt disconnected from the characters. I can't quite put my fingers on it. When I finished the book I felt like there was just something missing.Riding Danger - Adriana Hunter 4*'sJace Dawson is the VP of the Iron Soldiers Motorcycle Club. Even though he doesn't agree with it he is forced into gun-running by the new President of his club. He is determined to stop this any way he can to ensure that his "brothers" are safe and taken care of. When he ends up shot after a gun deal he has no choice but to go to the hospital to get patched up. When head nurse Piper Reece walks into his room Jace finds himself taking a double look at her. Piper catches his instant attention but he realizes that he's not good enough for someone like her.Piper doesn't know what to think when she sees the handsome biker in the hospital bed. She thinks he's one of the sexiest men she has ever seen. When she realizes just how much trouble Jace is in for his actions against the President of his MC she decides to take matters into her own hands and help him. Even if the cost is her job or puts her life at risk.This was actually a pretty quick read. I felt like some more info on the main characters would have been nice but it didn't stop me from liking the book. Even though Jace was supposed to be this big bad biker he actually come off as being a sweet guy. Piper showed strength and determination in her decision to help a man she had just met.Swish - Marian Tee 5 *'sMJ Cartwright was a loner. Growing up with an alcoholic father who abused her verbally and physically was hell for her. She was sure that one day he was going to kill her with his bike stunts as he literally jumped his bike over her body on a regular basis. Not always with success. Her only consolation was a camera. It was her lifeline.While out one night she hears someone crying. When she investigates she sees an act of heroism that changes her life. After that moment she held the memory close to her heart. He turned into her saving grace without even knowing it. His name was Helios Andreadis.Helios Andreadis is the president of Afxisi, a bike club on the college campus. He is aloof and distant with even those closest to him. From the moment he meets this strange girl with violet eyes he finds himself strangely captivated by her. Helios is convinced that MJ is a danger to him. For one simple fact.... she makes him feel.The chemistry between these two was interesting. MJ was so innocent half the time she was sure that Helios hated her. Helios on the other hand wants her with everything in him. The question is can he trust another woman again after the betrayals he's live through in his life.Stone Cold - Olivia Rigal 4 *'sThis is the 3rd book I have had the pleasure to read from Olivia Rigal. I find her writing enjoyable in that she gives you just enough clues going in to hook you to the story and then won't let go till the end.When Lisa Mayfield finds out that her brother has been killed while on an undercover assignment she has no choice but to go home. Home to a mother that hasn't truly been alive since her husband passed away several years before. Home to Brian "Ice" Hatcher. The only man she ever loved.Only things aren't how they used to be. While her brother went on into the police service, Brian became the opposite. Now a fully patched member of the Iron Tornadoes MC. Lisa is confused about what is really going on and Brian is not talking. Their relationship is tenuous at best. Brian has secrets that he is refusing to let go of and Lisa suspects that the Iron Tornados had a hand in her brothers death.I was a little disappointed in the way the realtionship with Brian and Lisa was portayed. (My reason for the 4 *'s). I really would have enjoyed more of them together throughout the book, even if it was memories of them being younger. I also felt slightly disconnected to her brothers death. His death was her connection to all the people she met once she got back to town. Seems like we should have gotten more. It was a short, fast read and there is another book in the works that hopefully (please please please) explains all the questions I am now left with.All in all it was a plesant read.Fearless Curves - D.

It introduces readers to Lisa's confused heart and Brian's dark secrets, building the foundation with a well developed and emotional storyline. The dramatic ending left me hungry for more; this series is addicting from the very first page!BEAR BIKER LOVE: ReviewStanding before the Council of Paranormal Creatures, the young Guardian is given her first task. Take one scarf, add a sexy alpha were-bear, mix in one spunky brunette and watch the chemical reaction create true love!

The shocking discovery that he, and the wolves who visited her last night, are more than they appear only serves to fuel her lust and attraction.Giving in to the emotional high fueling that night is the most sexually satisfying experience of Josh and Ruby's life, but can a City Girl and a Country Wolf find a way to turn one night of passion into more? A well written paranormal adventure from the erotic pen of Aubrey Rose. An entertaining short story, it's steamy characters are ones I hope to see more of in the future. The ending doesn't leave readers hanging, but hints at the potential for more stories to come. The perfect pick-me-up romance for a rainy day, this one made me smile! less
