What people don’t know, though, is that he’s no hero. He’s the reason his sister is dead, and he’ll spend the rest of his life trying to right that wrong.
Then one split second decision has him coming face to face with Mia Darling. The woman changes his life, making him reevaluate everything he thought he had figured out, and showing him the tenderness he never knew he needed.

When the smoke settles, Mia’s gone, and Tai realizes there’s no way he can live the rest of his life without her. He’ll show her just how hard a bad boy will fight to get his woman back, and he’s not opposed to fighting dirty.

ARC : Jarek (Dragons of Preor, #1) by Celia Kyle as Erin Tate


BLURB:

What’s hotter than an alien with scales? An alien with wings and scales, not to mention a hot body.
At 457 Preor years old, Jarek sen Claron is a dragon ready for his final flight into the skies. This voyage to Earth as the War Master of the third fleet will be his final assignment. Once he has helped his fellow Preors secure human mates, he will return to Preor before the madness of loneliness overtakes his mind.

That all changes when he meets Melissa. Human Melissa with her sparkling eyes, bright smile, and body that would make any hot-blooded male drool. Unfortunately, she never registered as a Preor mate hopeful. No matter, the Knowing stretches between them and there is no way she can resist him. Until she does.

Jarek wishes to give her the choice to mate him, while everything inside him screams to take Melissa beneath his wing, now. No choosing necessary.

But should he draw her to his side when his enemies are circling? Many males do not believe the son of a Preor mass murderer deserves to have a mate. Can he survive the coming battles? Or will he die without tasting sweet Melissa’s lips?

Review 
I loved this book!

Though, I would suggest you be familiar with the Ujal series to recognize the characters involved.

The men of Preor are a race of dragons (men who can shapeshift into dragons) and are trying to get an agreement to take Earth females as their mates. During a summit meeting between the Ujal and Preor people, the War Master (most decorated/strongest Preor warrior?) Jarek discovers his mate in the delegation of Ujal. Melissa is the official royal Ujal nanny.

I absolutely loved this book, from the beginning to the end. I loved how the Knowing swept over Melissa and Jarek. Heck, I loved the idea of <i> The Knowing</i>. It actually implants (for lack of a better word) the knowledge needed for a Preor couple to be successful i.e. Preor laws, their language, etc. What is most important is that it does NOT implant feelings [love]. It creates an environment where love can develop and I was all for that. These two needed time to themselves where they could get past their own personal hangups and dedicate themselves to each other. Melissa has family issues that make her a pariah in some Ujal company and Jarek has family issues that make him a pariah in ALL Preor company (regardless of his title).

Action.
Sadness.
Hate.
Desolation.
Tenderness.
Caring.
Attraction.
Tension.
Violence.
Politics.

Its all there and definitely worth reading.

ARC : Counter to my Intelligence (The Heroes of The Dixie Wardens MC #7) by Lani Lynn Vale





Sometimes the heart wants what it can’t have.

That’s the motto Silas Mackenzie, the president of The Dixie Wardens MC, has lived by since he was a young man.

Now he’s well on the way to middle age, has three grown children and he’s lusting after a woman he should definitely stay away from.

Especially not one that his ex-girlfriend had given birth to, and happens to be only twenty-nine years old.

Sawyer isn’t a young girl at heart, though.

She’s seen the inside of a jail cell for eight long years, and every one of them was spent paying for a crime she didn’t commit.

Silas Mackenzie knows as soon as he sees her that the she has sacrificed enough.
And maybe…just maybe…so has he.

It’s time for Silas Mackenzie to get what he deserves, and, in the process, put a little bit of happy back into Sawyer’s world, one rough, bearded kiss at a time. 







By the first chapter we know Sawyer’s story. She was incarcerated for 8 years on a vehicular manslaughter (?) charge and now she is getting out. I had to stop my mind from immediately going the Orange is the New Black route, but there were some similarities. Cue the skeevy prison guards.
I loved this story because of Sawyer and all the issues she has to deal with as a newly released convict. I loved how the author addressed the secrets her friends and family had, but was too concerned with her mental state to tell her about. I loved how you were able to get inside Sawyer’s head and witness her attempt to join society after having been locked up for 8 long years. Priorities change and obviously, she has changed. She didn’t have the same interests as she did before. Obviously. And her appreciation for the little things i.e. eating whatever she wanted whenever she wanted was more pronounced. Kudos to the author for addressing this.

The secrets though; that was what had me living in suspense.

  • At one time her parents were divorced.
  • Her boyfriend from before she went in wasn’t who she thought he was.
  • Silas’ past friendship with Reba

 
Enter Silas motha freaking Mackenzie.



If you like family drama then you will definitely love the Silas character. If you’re familiar with Lani Lynn Vale’s other books then you already know there is MAD drama and hard feelings (to put it mildly) between Silas and his children. Throw Sawyer into the mix and you have the best ‘ride or die’ couple the author has ever written. Silas is Team Sawyer and believes in her innocence and her as an overall good person regardless of her ex-convict status. Sawyer is Team Silas and is concerned about his relationship between him and his kids to the point where she wants to get involved. These two are meant to be. They burn up the sheets and they’re there for each other unconditionally. 

This book is actually coming for the number one spot on my favorite Lani Lynn Vale books. Watch out Coup de Grace!!!   










Lani Lynn Vale is married to the love of her life that she met in high school. She fell in love with him because he was wearing baseball pants. Ten years later they have three perfectly crazy children and a cat named Demon who likes to wake her up at ungodly times in the night. They live in the greatest state in the world, Texas. She writes contemporary and romantic suspense, and has a love for all things romance. You can find Lani in front of her computer writing away in her fictional characters world...that is until her husband and kids demand sustenance in the form of food and drink.
