ARC : Wrath of Cain by Kathy Coopmans



Eloped at the age of eighteen. Separated at the age of eighteen. Disappeared at the age of eighteen. This is what happened to Calla Greer. Her perfect life was shattered on her wedding day when she caught her husband Cain with another woman just hours after they said I do. With her heart broken, she moves across the border to Windsor, Canada to get away from the nightmare she stumbled upon. Hell bent on going to college and fulfilling her dream of becoming a lawyer.

After six long years of still being married, Calla returns to Detroit to have Cain sign divorce papers.

Only Cain has changed.

He’s bitter, angry and for a good reason.

At least that’s what he’s been telling himself for the past six years.

Cain Bexley had fifteen minutes to destroy his marriage to protect the woman he loved.  He did the only thing he could think of to make her leave. He jumped in bed with a woman. Life at home was a lie. Lives were at risk.

People are not who they seem.

Not even Cain’s dad or Calla’s parents are who they say they are. When Calla shows up begging for a divorce. He shows her exactly who he is and no way in hell will he sign those papers.

What happens when six years later she returns? The only woman he has loved. A woman who has changed herself! When all the lies surface will she be able to forgive everyone she has trusted in her life or will Calla turn to the man who destroyed her?

Excerpt
My brain finally catches up with the fact I’m naked in front of Cain for the first time in six years. I sit up in a rush of water and bring my knees to my chest, resting my chin on top of them.
“You... you shouldn’t be in here.”
“You wouldn’t answer me,” he says exasperatedly.
“Well, no shit. My head was underwater. That still doesn’t give you the right to just walk in here.”
“When you don’t answer me when I’m standing right outside of a wide open door, not to mention the fact this is my house... well, then I think I have every fucking right. Don’t you?”
“No, I don’t. You could have just peeked in and seen I was fine and waited. Was this some kind of ploy for you to get me right where you wanted me? Are you so afraid that the minute you turn your back on me I will up and try to leave? Are you going to watch my every move? Or did you have an ulterior motive in suggesting I shower, just so I could strip down naked and you could make damn sure I didn’t go anywhere? So tell me what the hell it is, because this back and forth, hot and cold game you’ve started is really starting to piss me the hell off!”
I glare up at him, not quite able to read his eyes.
What I do know is that the sexual tension between the two of us is so strong, it’s working triple overtime. There’s only one tiny little obstacle in our way... and that would be our past. The fact that I can’t trust him. He broke every bit of it the same day he broke my heart. One of us needs to give in, take charge so we can just fuck and move on.

Review:

This is my first time reading this author and I was not disappointed. 

There was one thing that I had an issue with, but I was still able to enjoy this book in spite of it. I wasn't comfortable with the character voices of Calla and Cain. IMO in some portions of the book I felt that cursing was unnecessary. From the beginning to the middle of the book, their character voices came across as very juvenile to me. I didn't believe Cain's character could be the President of a MC. I didn't believe that he would allow himself to be in pictures open to the public.

I can honestly say that I wasn't feeling this book from page one. I didn't start enjoying what I was reading until a bit past the middle portion when Calla discovers who her mother is related to. Then things start moving and the story becomes engaging. I did wonder what happened to Calla's hopes and dreams once her life changed so drastically, but I suppose that is my answer in itself. Hers, her family's and Cain's lives are in danger and that is enough to put anyone's best laid plans to the background. I enjoyed the tension surrounding their survival and that through it all Cain stayed true in his feelings to Calla. And I was definitely intrigued with the story of Calla's cousin Manny. 
I definitely wouldn't mind reading his story when it becomes available.

I can't say that I loved this book, but I did like it.

Synopsis


Beau McIntyre is driven by a past smothered in blood and covered in bruises. Though tragic, it's help shape his future and define the man he's become.

Day in and day out, he's reminded of his failures in the faces of the women he saves. But what happens when one girl threatens to blow all of that apart? Will Beau lose his grip on the controlled lifestyle he abides by?

Mackenzie Moore is running from a past she needs to forget. A past that has molded her into a woman living in fear. One fateful night, her carefully constructed world is pulled down around her, forcing her to make a decision she's not sure she can live with. 

Turning to the Knights Rebels MC for help is the last thing she wants, but everything she needs. 

Can Beau save her once again, or is what she running to far worse than what she’s running from? 



Review



Reading this book I felt as if I were visiting some old, dear friends. I got my dose of Red, Sy, Nix, Hunter and all of their lovely ladies as well as their kids.

After reading 5 pages the phrase “Always in some sh*t” popped into my head. The club just barely got out of [did they really though] some crap while trying to locate Bell’s sister Paige. And now here comes Mackenzie and her cluster f*ck sized problem including her high profile abusive husband. 


Beau is already super involved and we know that from a previous book. There was an instant connection between himself and Mackenzie. Beau is invested in the overall saving domestic violence victims because of his sister Missy, but Mackenzie’s problem makes it personal. Seeing the majority of his brothers bite the proverbial marriage bullet we [the reader] already know that Beau wants his happily ever after as well. My first thought was Mackenzie was going to be a hard woman to win over. She’s a victim of abuse who has no trust in the police and is disillusioned with marriage – where could you find a harder person to fall in love with? 


I enjoyed how Kenzie had no intention of forming bonds and creating ties with the Knights Rebel MC and their families, but she did. She found a voice of reason in Beau, an understanding comrade in Kelly and a close group of girlfriends in the old ladies of the MC. 


But let’s address the elephant in the room – well there are two. One is Beau being a dominant who craves needs control in his personal relationships. {Cue the flashback of him and Lissy from a previous book in the series.} Also, Kenzie is hiding something and I guessed what it was halfway into the book. It wasn’t obvious, but if you paid close attention I think the author gave you plenty of hints what that secret was. 


My favorite part of this book and about the Kenzie character is that the author made sure to make it plain that Kenzie was not so jaded and damaged that she couldn’t recognize and still appreciate the love a husband has for his wife and vice versa. She was damaged and was trying to get her life back on track, but as she was making these strides she still recognized the bond between Sy/Holly, Brooks/Kelly, Nix/Kadence and Jesse/Bell. Beautiful! And of course my second favorite part was sexual based. J When Beau, the sexy beard/tattoo/piercing/man bun having main character, tells Kenzie “I know how to eat pussy” I almost died. Hilarious! This was smack dab in the middle of a hot and steamy sex scene and I loved that.


Another amazing book by this author and once again she has whet my appetite for more in the Knights Rebel world i.e. Brooks and Kelly, the whereabouts of Heidi and what is going on with Hunter.







  





Excerpt


“Kenzie, I’m heading out. Will you be all right on your own?” I call out to her but receive no reply. Her door is ajar a few inches, so I knock, letting the force push it open further.

She is standing there. Her pert tits take my attention first and instantly my cock stirs back to life. She doesn’t stop to cover herself and I don’t look away.

“I’m heading out.” I manage some cough mumble thing, my throat becoming dry. She doesn’t say anything and her eyes don’t leave me. I should turn away, let her change in private, but I’m lost in the sight of her.

The soft glow of her bedside lamp highlights her against the dark room but even from this distance, I can see every one of those goose bumps glazing her skin.

We continue to stand silent for what feels like hours, until the soft whisper of her nightgown falling to the floor shocks me back, like the first momentary sonic boom that fills the skies on a Fourth of July weekend. My eyes follow its descent, pausing at the lace covering her pussy.

Jesus, fuck, turn around, man.

I swallow past my hunger and try to will myself to leave, but fail when her fingers hook into the side of her lace panties.

“Mackenzie, don’t.” My warning comes out strangled, my resolve slipping, but it doesn’t stop her. She continues to undress, sliding her panties down her legs then stepping out of them, leaving her completely exposed to me.

She’s beautiful. Fucking perfect. Every fucking inch of her. But there’s an innocence to her. One touch, one taste is going to destroy me.

What the fuck is wrong with you, man? Go to her. Fucking take her.

“Darlin’,” I say with a heavy breath, forcing my eyes away from her naked body and back up to her face. Her pink, plump lips, swollen from our kisses, slightly part as she draws in a long breath.

“You’re making this really fucking hard to stay away.” My voice cracks as my gaze catches her hand sliding between her legs.

“If you’re not going to help me, then leave.” Her voice is barely a whisper as her finger slips between her pussy lips disappearing from view. And fuck it turns me on.

Before I realize what I’m doing, my legs carry me to her. Not giving it a second thought, I slap her hand away from her pussy and pull her naked body to me. She comes willingly, a small cry filling the room at my touch.

“Fuck,” I groan, knowing I’m close to losing control. “I need you to think this through, darlin’. Be real fucking sure, ‘cause once we start, I don’t think I’ll be able to stop,” I tell her when her chest hits mine.

“I’ve never wanted anything more, Beau.” My name coming from her lips in a plea cancels out all my reservations, and before I can comprehend what’s happening, I have her on her back on the bed.

Pulling off my cut and shirt in record time, I flip the button of my jeans. Mackenzie comes up on her elbows and watches as I lose my jeans.

“Holy shit, you have it pierced.” She looks down at my cock, intrigue turning to wonder.

“I have two.” I point to the Apadravya piercing. The small barbell runs through the head of my penis. I then pull to show her the Frenum piercing on the underside of my cock.

“Did they hurt?” She bites her lip, her eyes not leaving the piercing.

“I survived. Had it done years ago.” She nods but doesn’t say anything.

“You keep looking at me like that and I don’t think I’ll last long,” I admit. Her inquisitive eyes move from my piercing up to my face and I realize it wouldn’t matter what way she looked at me. I’m wound up so fucking tight from not having my cock in a woman for God knows how long, I’m not going to last long regardless.

“Like what?” She looks back down at my cock and it bounces its own hello.

“Like you want to wrap your mouth around my dick and milk it dry,” I offer the visual, the picture playing out in my mind.

Yep, there is no way I’m going back on this, now.

“No one has ever spoken to me like this before.” Her teeth graze her bottom lip, and I don’t know if she’s afraid of me, or fucking turned on.

“You want me to stop talking to you this way?” I ask, placing a knee down on the bed and moving over her.

“I don’t think so.” She lays back, her dark hair spilling around her.

“You don’t think so? It’s a yes or no question, darlin’.” I keep my eyes on her, like I need to memorize every inch of her body.

“No,” she answers instantly.

“Then I won’t.”

Tracker's End (Wind Dragons MC, #3) by Chantal Fernando

Tracker's End (Wind Dragons MC, #3)Tracker's End by Chantal Fernando
My rating: 5 of 5 stars












Tracker wants Lana and vice versa.



I was uber impressed with the Lana character. I assumed she was this introverted and shy woman that would never approach Tracker on her own. I am happy to say that I was very wrong. Lana has secrets and a fiery temper to match. If you're familiar with the previous books in this series you'll know that Lana is a Anna's best friend (Anna is from book 2 Arrow's Hell). She falls in perfectly with the women of the Wind Dragons series. They are all sassy, humorous and are women not to be trifled with.





Lana has goals and she has self-respect. What I didn't want to read was Lana just giving in to Tracker, who has been SUPER free with his body in the past.



I wanted him to work for it and work hard.




This book is full of two characters naturally falling in love. It is full of short and long meaningful conversations between the two. Tracker, from the getgo, wants more than just sex with Lana. He wants her to be his and is okay with being just hers. These conversations are what makes this my favorite book so far out of this series and I seriously doubt any coming in the future will top it. Tracker (Daniel) is sensual, confident, protective, funny, reliable, playful and extremely capable of just being friends with a woman without any ulterior motives. These conversations [interactions] are so honest and transparent. Lana and Tracker are both laying it on the line; both are seducing the other by opening up and being true.

Do I like this book? No. I LOVED THIS BOOK.

Giving it to the biker (Saints and Sinners MC #1) by Sam Crescent

Giving It to the Biker (Saints and Sinners MC Book 1)Giving It to the Biker by Sam Crescent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love when this author slides a surprise release my way. I don't recall hearing about this book, but I was excited when it was released. Yes Rage yes!




I wasn't feeling well and this book restored me to my normal naughty vigor. hehe

Penny is a firebrand and more than enough woman to catch and hold onto Rage; even if she doesn't know that Rage is interested. Glad to see the author throw a wrench in the usual recipe of man likes woman/woman likes man/they get together. Penny has no idea Rage is interested and she has never looked at him in that way. And boy are these two hot together. Sound proofed walls--yes ma'am



Short read, but definitely worth it.

ARC Kill Shot (Code 11 KPD Swat series) by Lani Lynn Vale








Blurb:

Bennett had the world in the palm of his hands when he was sixteen, then he allowed his dick to do the thinking for him.

That one night changed him forever, giving him a child that would forever alter his life, and an ex that was a crazy nut case on the best of days.

With the help of his parents, he went into the Navy, becoming the SEAL he always wanted to be. However, with that came a price, a price he wasn’t willing to pay anymore once his little girl started to realize why he wasn’t there. So he came home and joined the local SWAT team, starting his life anew, just his daughter and him.

Then he meets the cute little physician’s assistant that looks down upon him like one would an annoying fly, and he finally realizes just what he’s been missing. Something that takes his mind off of the challenge of everyday life. Someone that dares him to be a better father and cop.

And Lennox is one hell of a motivator.

Their relationship starts off rocky as the two of them circle each other like opponents ready to do combat rather than two civil adults. Every day brings a new battle for the two of them to overcome, and before they realize it, they’ll be fighting for each other instead of against each other.

Because there’s one woman who doesn’t want either one of them to be happy…especially not together.

Excerpt:
“Bennett?”  Lennox asked softly into the dark.
I turned my head until I was facing her.
My beard tickled her mouth and chin as we came face to face, mouth to mouth.
“Yeah, Nox?” I whispered tiredly.
“I fucking love you,” she whispered fiercely.
I blinked, all tiredness leaving my pores as I said, “What?”
“You heard me, you big bastard.  You made me fucking love you,” she spat.
I laughed.
She sounded so irritated by the fact that I had no other recourse but to laugh.
“You don’t have to sound so outraged by it,” I laughed.
She made a sound in the back of her throat, then threw herself at me.
I landed on my back, and laughed, pulling her until she was straddling my body.
Her sweet ass was pressed against my hips, and my cock, which was more than a little out of control, was pillowed in between the cheeks.
She leaned down, pressing her mouth against mine.
“If you break me, I’ll never let you forget it,” she whispered.
Suddenly serious, I moved my hands up her arms, past her neck, and up to her head.
Cupping it with both hands, I did a half curl until I was mouth to mouth with her once again.
“I’ll never let anything hurt you.  I can’t see the future.  I can’t tell you how tomorrow will look for us.  All I can tell you is that I’ll never treat you with anything but respect.  I’ll never let you down, and I’ll never be unfaithful.  If we are happy, then I’ll be here.  But if it does go bad, which I don’t see happening, then I’ll leave you with a piece of me.  You’ll forever have me.  My support.  My caring.  And I want the same promise from you.  Because Reagan loves you already.  She asks about you every day.  And I want her to know you without you holding back.  You’re mine, and I’m yours until we both decide differently.  I’ll never leave you without talking it out with you first.  We’ll both have to be on the same page.  But honey,” I said, a promise in my voice.  “I don’t see this going bad, because I fucking love you, too.”
I felt a tear meet my lips right before I smashed my mouth against hers.
Her lips tasted of salty tears, but I didn’t care.
Neither did she.



Another huge round of applause to the generosity of this particular author and the Enticing Journey Promotions team for allowing me access to this ARC. 

I have been waiting for Bennett's story ever since his character was introduced. The relationship between he and his sister Payton and the rest of his family was so engaging and hilarious I couldn't wait to get more. For those that are familiar with the series (note: I do suggest you read at least his sister's story or you'll be pretty lost) Bennett is a single father and a member of the SWAT team. We all know that Bennett's baby mama Corinne is coo coo for cocoa puffs and has a history of drug abuse and is a liar from way back. She makes a repeat performance in this book, but times TEN.




 Lennox is absolutely perfect for Bennett. From the first glance you get of her character I knew she was going to be perfect. She didn't seem to fall for Bennett's crap and if we're being honest she didn't really like him. Cue: the ketchup covered fry scene at the diner. :)




On a sidenote: we do get to delve a bit more into the Michael character. We know that he is Bi-polar, is a trained doctor, and is in love with Nico's sister. Man, I love when LLV drops morsels on future character's lives.


This book is no different in that it keeps with LVV's tried and true recipe of hot guys, sexy tattoos, adorable kids, sassy women and steamy love scenes. Every time I read a Lani Lynn Vale book, I literally sigh in every chapter. The men and the women of Kilgore are amaze balls and I want them all to be my best friends.





Lani Lynn Vale doesn't disappoint with the 'meat and potatoes' of this book either. Besides Bennett having to deal with his crazy baby mama Lennox also has to do deal with a stalker. This stalker has been following her since college and after starting a relationship with Bennett they're back again. One thing about this author is that she is NOT predictable. There are moments when I'm reading where I think to myself I already know how this is going to progress, but a page or two later I'm in awe. She throws you a curve ball and you're back to being on the edge of your seat. I LOVE THAT!




Kick ass action.
Kick ass tension.
Kick ass characters.
Kick ass love scenes.

They all equal a kick ass book!
