Sever by Caitlyn Dare {a review}

I have been anticipating this book release like you would not believe. Ever since finishing Sacred, I had to know what happened next with Dane, Rhett, Wes, and Sadie. Sever could not be released soon enough!

Well wait no longer. Sever by Caitlyn Dare is officially available!


That's right, the fourth and final installment of the Savage Falls Sinners Motorcycle Club series is out, and if you've read the previous books, you are probably eagerly anticipating this book! Friends, it was worth the wait.

Everything with the storyline was wrapped up nicely. We know how everything played out. From the big dramatic scene with a certain villainous character, to the rescue, to all the steamy moments in between, everything was fantastic. The MC storyline was a bit intense, and I loved every moment of it. While I KNEW I was going to get a HEA, I had my doubts once or twice. Then there was the RH storyline. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I wasn't reading for that part, but I still enjoyed it. And OH MY STEAM. DAMN. Sadie and her men had to work for that HEA, but it happened. And now those four can ride off into the sunset and live their lives.

So, all throughout the book I was wondering about River and Quinn. Would they end up with their guys? Or would someone else come along? Well...I can't really answer about Quinn yet, but there's a definite hookup happening. As for River...She has a series coming. YEP! And I am here for it. I'm thinking that too is going to be an RH. Don't care. I'm reading it. Plus I'm hoping to see more of Sadie and her guys as background characters.

I absolutely loved this series. Loved the characters. Loved the storyline. Loved the setting. It is quite steamy, so be prepared for that. The MC storyline is a wild ride, and I could not get enough. Highly recommend the Savage Falls Sinners MC series.

Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts,
Laura


Loving one guy is hard.

Loving three… well, it should be more than a girl like Sadie Ray Dalton can handle.

But Sadie knows where she belongs, and it’s right beside her guys.

Life in Savage Falls is finally calming down. Dane is preparing to step up and take over the Red Ridge Sinners, Rhett is accepting an unconventional life with his princess, and Wes is adapting to his new role within the club.

But another enemy is circling—one who’s closer than they realize.

One who won’t stop until the Sinners MC are on their knees.

Sadie and her guys all want their happily-ever-after, but they should know by now, nothing in life comes easy.

One last time, they’re going to have to fight for it.

And hope everyone makes it out alive.

This is a why choose novel, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. It is book four in the series and must be read after SAVAGE, SACRIFICE, and SACRED. It contains mature content that some readers may find distressing.

A New Norcross Book! {cover reveal}

 

Vander's story is coming November 9!

Cover Designer: Lana Pecherczyk
Photographer: Wander Aguiar

She’s undercover in a dangerous motorcycle club, and her unwanted protector is the city’s most lethal man.

 

Police Detective Brynn Sullivan is dedicated to her job and living up to the memory of her cop father. She’s out to prove herself on her biggest case yet—stopping a dangerous drug from flooding the streets of San Francisco. She needs to go undercover with the city’s wildest, most dangerous motorcycle club, and that means using any contact she can to get in there.

 

Even the dark, powerful ex-military man who rules the city’s streets from the shadows—Vander Norcross.

 

After years fighting for his country as commander of a covert Ghost Ops team, Vander Norcross has built Norcross Security into a thriving business to keep his family and friends safe. He’s a powerbroker in San Francisco, with his finger on the pulse of what’s happening—both legal and not so legal. When his friend asks a favor putting a detective—a female one—undercover with the Iron Wanderers MC, Vander is not on board. 

It goes against every protective instinct he has, but Brynn proves to be tenacious, annoying, smart, and far too tempting.

 

Brynn and Vander strike enough sparks to start an inferno, but when dangerous players up the stakes, they find themselves with a bounty on their heads. On the run, with only each other to depend on, Brynn discovers she has an even bigger battle on her hands—capturing the heart of a man who thinks he’s too dangerous to ever fall in love.

The Boy Upstairs by Amanda Shelley {a review}

 

Amanda Shelley's latest release, The Boy Upstairs, is NOW AVAILABLE! If you have fallen for the Fallon family, then you are not going to want to miss Derek's story! Also, I suppose I should mention that The Boy Upstairs is part of the All American Boys multi-author series. There are a variety of authors included, and so you should definitely check that out. You might just find some new favorites!

Derek has just started his own company, and has arrived in Bear Creek where he is working with a client. He has found an apartment, and his next door neighbor is quite loud. So needless to say, Derek is looking for a place to escape, and hopefully wherever he ends up, there is coffee available. It is after leaving his apartment that Derek meets Tessa. Tessa owns her own microbrewery, and is one busy lady. Yet there is something about Derek that keeps drawing her in, and these two find themselves having a lot of fun together on various outings. From the moment they met a friendship was formed, and shortly there after a summer fling was about to begin. Can these two keep it as just a fling, or is this going to turn into a full blown relationship?

As soon as Amanda Shelley mentioned Dani and Damien, I KNEW this book was about a Fallon sibling, and I was oh so giddy. I fell head over heals for Damien, and so I knew I would probably feel the same way about Derek. And I was right. There is just something about the Fallon family that draws you in. They feel like a family that you just want in your life. They are good people. Then there's Tessa. She just seems like a bad ass woman. She's a business owner. She is smart. She is hardworking. She is passionate. She is dedicated. She wears her heart on her sleeve. She's just an all around fantastic woman. So seeing these two together was just so good. The passion, the fun, the emotions, the memories being made, it all made for one heck of a summer. You can call it instalove, but really sometimes you just know you're in love with the person even if it seems quick.

If you're looking for a quick, easy read that has romance, and some steam, then go grab The Boy Upstairs. If you're not familiar with the Fallon family, and want to know them, go read Making the Call and Damien. You won't regret it. It sounds like Davis is going to have his story told soon, and I am looking forward to it.

Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts,
Laura


I ran into Derek while trying to escape the neighbor from hell.⁣

Instantly, we hit it off. Since he’s only here for three months and the microbrewery leaves me little time for commitments, it’s the perfect setup for a fling.⁣

He’s adventurous, challenges me, and he just gets me from the inside out.⁣

Wild Love by Rebecca Jenshak {a review}

Wild Love by Rebecca Jenshak is now available! Reader friends, this was my favorite of the Campus Nights series! SERIOUSLY! And no it isn't JUST because the book was primarily set in Minnesota. That was just a bonus.

If you've read the previous books in the Campus Nights series, then you are familiar with Johnny and Dakota. You also know that these two have been around each other for two years, and during that time Johnny (aka Maverick) has been flirting with Dakota. She just blows it off because Johnny isn't her type. Or so she has led herself to believe. Well now Johnny is headed to Minnesota to play for the Wildcats. He's leaving Valley U, and is going pro. Things are changing for the friends, and this is a major change for all of them. Dakota has been searching for an internship, but keeps coming up empty. Her plan now is to stay on campus and keep working at the Hall of Fame. Johnny ends up hearing about an internship with the Wildcats, and a plan is set in motion. Johnny and Dakota will go to Minnesota together, and it will be awesome. Neither is planning on starting a summer/internship fling, but that's what happens. Never mind the fact that a fling goes against the contract that Dakota signed. She's supposed to be steering clear of a relationship with a Wildcat. Now what?

Full disclosure: I teared up numerous times at the beginning of the book. It's the change that this book represents. This group of friends is having their lives altered as a few move away, a couple graduate, and the others move into a new apartment. It's a lot of change, and shows that our characters are growing up. Their college years are almost over. Then you add in everything that Dakota is dealing with regarding finding a paid internship, and worrying about finances, and dang if that isn't real life. I love how once they arrived in Minnesota, Johnny showed Dakota the real version of himself, and not the curated version he had on campus. The "real" Johnny is a lover, he is passionate, he is caring, he is protective, and he is a giver. He's just an amazing man who takes care of those he loves. As for Dakota, she is a strong independent woman who doesn't take help easily. She wants to do things on her own and not depend on others. She also loves her friends as though they are family, and being away from her girls for the summer is rough. When things start to heat up with Johnny, you can practically feel her pulling away, and wanting to run. Yet at the same time the curiosity is there. The passion is there. The desire is there. I love how their relationship played out. From friends to lovers with the help of forced proximity. Everything about their relationship just felt right. These two opposites work well together. 

I loved the characters. The setting was fantastic because Minnesota and hockey. The story was also wonderful. Everything about it made me happy, even through the tear filled eyes. I also love that this was essentially the set up for the Wildcats series. And oh how I am here for it. Also, I want to mention the rating that I put on Goodreads. I gave Wild Love five stars. FIVE STARS! If you know me, you know that I am extremely stingy with that rating, and the book has to meet a high expectation. Well, Wild Love did. It was just absolutely fabulous. So OBVIOUSLY I think you should go read it. Now you don't need to read the other books in the series, but it will help you understand the friendship that these characters have.

Thank you for reading my thoughts on Wild Love,
Laura

He's a wild ride I have no intention of riding.


Johnny Maverick is a lot of things.
Great hockey player
Loyal friend
Always up for a good time

And now, he's my new roommate.

It's only for a few weeks while I intern for the Wildcats - his new NHL team.


And there are some pros to living with my hot and ridiculous friend (or is that ridiculously hot?). He's fun and unexpectedly sweet, and he reminds me not to take myself too seriously.

I had no intention of breaking the one rule given to me on my first day on the job: no sleeping with the players.


And if I had, I never dreamed that player would be Johnny Maverick.
