Reaper’s Property
Author: Joanna Wylde
Genre: Erotica / Romance 

SUMMARY
(From Goodreads)

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.

MY THOUGHTS

Oh my. Where can I start this review? How do I share my feelings on this book.  Let us start with just admitting that this book is addictive. Lets create a Reaper margarita!

1 shot of Son’s of Anarchy
1 shot of Undeniable by Madeline Sheehan
Throw in a shot of Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley.
Stir that cocktail up and you have Reaper’s Property by Joanna Wylde.

We have motorcycle clubs, bad bikers, violence, sex, and a man named Horse.  Why would a man go by the name of Horse?  Well, because he is hung like a horse. Yes. Take that in people.  Everyone in the book even agrees to it. He will even flat out tell you this.

Marie: So why are you called Horse?
Horse: Cause I’m hung like one.” 

I really loved the down and dirty inside look at the Motorcycle Club world.  It can be full of violence and sex, but it also can be filled with family and fun. I think the main thing I loved about this book was the alternating point of views.  We get to read from both Marie and Horse’s POV.  I wasn’t a fan of how the book started out jumping from one point in time to another and then back though.  If I had to complain about one thing, then that would be it.  This author is my new addiction.  I really hope we get to dive into the Reaper family some more in future books because I have fallen for these Alpha-holes hard!

FAVORITE QUOTE

“Nope, not Jesus, just a man,” Horse whispered.
“Although when women see my dick for the first time, they’ve been known to fall down on their knees and worship me.”

MY RATING

Very Good! I would recommend this book!

Review: Deliver Me From Temptation by Tes Hilaire

Deliver Me From Temptation
Series: Paladin Warriors #2
Author: Tes Hilaire
Genre: Paranormal Romance

SUMMARY
(From Goodreads)

Logan Calhoun is the last full-blooded Paladin, the future leader of a race of immortal warrior angels. The heavy responsibility of continuing the Paladin line falls to him, and the last thing he should do is get involved with a human. Then fate throws Jessica Waters, a homicide detective who doesn’t believe in fate or divine intervention, into his path. Her devotion lies in her Glock and a good set of handcuffs. Like Logan, she’s a warrior for her people, and she awakens within him something he’d never thought he’d feel. But she’s also as human as they come…

MY THOUGHTS

This is the second book in the Paladin Warrior series by author Tes Hilaire.

First, be sure to read the first book in this series before committing to this one.  I had a hard time getting into this book so I had moved it to the back burner for a bit.  Then I purchased the first book in the series hoping that it would help me with the second one in understanding and enjoyment of it.  Reading the first book helped out so much.  By the time I got to Deliver Me From Temptation I was in the swing of things and enjoying the Paladin world.

Logan and Jessica were both strong characters that shined in this book.  I enjoyed the plot, the story and the romance.  I loved the scene from both sides of the fence where duty was concerned and when it came to the climax of the story, I was thoroughly invested in this series.  I personally can’t wait for the next book in this series even if I did get a late start to it!

MY RATING

Very Good! I would recommend this book!

Review: Untamed by Sara Humphreys

Untamed
Series: The Amoveo Legend #3
Author: Sara Humphreys
Genre: Paranormal Romance

SUMMARY
(From Goodreads)

The Amoveo are an ancient race who’ve lived secretly among humans for thousands of years. They are beautiful and incredibly strong but their race is extremely fragile–each has until the age of 30 to find their soul mate, before their bodies start to die a slow, painful death. 

Layla Nickelsen has spent her life running from a mate she didn’t choose, until William Fleury finally confronts her. Normally stoic and unemotional, William finds himself befuddled by Layla: his growing feelings for her and his driving need to protect her. And Layla has to admit that William might be everything she’s always wanted after all…

MY THOUGHTS

Untamed by Sara Humphreys is the third book in the Amoveo Legend series.  This book picks up where the previous book left off, so it is best to have read the other books in the series first to get the full impact of the plot.  It could be read as a stand alone novel, but again if you want the full scope of the world created, I would recommend reading the first two books in the series.

With this latest installment in the series, I can see the world the author created with great imagery and details.  The characters are developed and enjoyable as well.  I was finished reading this story before I even knew it. I didn’t really want it to stop and I wanted to read more about them. It was unique and and enjoyable for my reading time.

Again to get the full effect of the paranormal world and recurring characters, I would definitely read the first two books in the series. A great author that I will continue to follow for future books!

MY RATING

Very Good! I would recommend this book!

Review: Where There’s A Will by Karen Kelley

Where There’s A Will
Series: Good Girl #2
Author: Karen Kelley
Genre: Paranormal Romance

SUMMARY
(From Goodreads)

When good girl Haley Tillman is stood up (again), she prays for a dating miracle— and then slams the front door in its face when it appears! Ryder is half angel, half mortal, with powers to do whatever the hell he wants. When he hears Haley’s prayers, he is bound and determined to answer every single one of them.

MY THOUGHTS

Where There’s A Will is the second book in the Good Girl series by author Karen Kelley.  What girl hasn’t wished for the perfect man?  When Haley wishes for a man, she gets a half angel with sexiness in spades.  Ryder is determined to act out Haley’s fantasies and show her how beautiful she is.

I have to say that this book caught me by surprise.  I didn’t think it was going to be so great because everyone kept saying that Haley considers herself fat, ugly and unappealing.  Women deal with this every day in real life, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to read about it.  Granted, I am tired of the perfect size 0 women in romance, but why did she have to feel that average was a bad thing to start with?  Ryder was some hubba-hubba with some ooh-la-la thrown in.  He was every bit as sexy as the cover model on the front of this book.

The writing was good and I really didn’t have any more problems with this book.  It wasn’t blow me away great, but it was definitely one to keep you warm on a cold night of reading.  Even though this is part of series, I considered it to be okay as a stand alone read as well.  This is one series that I will continue reading and enjoying.

MY RATING

Very Good! I would recommend this book!

Review: The Proposition by Katie Ashley

The Proposition
Series: The Proposition #1
Author: Katie Ashley
Genre: Romance

SUMMARY
(From Goodreads)

With her thirtieth birthday looming, Emma Harrison finds her biological clock clanging and the elusive knight in shining armor yet to appear. She’s running out of options, especially after her gay best friend backs out from being her sperm donor. Of course, there’s always a sperm bank, but Emma fears a donor mix-up might impregnate her with the spawn of Satan.

Resident company womanizer, Aidan Fitzgerald, is used to always getting what he wants, especially in the bedroom. When Emma spurns his advances at the company Christmas party, he’s determined to have her no matter what it takes. After Aidan learns of Emma’s predicament, he is quick to offer a proposition that will benefit them both. He will father Emma’s child, but she must conceive it with him naturally. Not one for hook-ups or casual sex, Emma is reluctant to take him up on his offer, but his charm, coupled with her intense desire for motherhood, wins out.

Soon their baby-making sessions become more than just physical. Aidan can’t seem to walk away from her while Emma begins to wonder if Aidan could be the one. But can Aidan leave his past behind to become the man Emma needs him to be?

MY THOUGHTS

Why hasn’t this author or book received more attention?  This book was addictive, frustrating, sexy and one I couldn’t put down.  Author Katie Ashley had a great voice in her writing.

I admit, there were times I wanted to quit reading it out of frustration and moments of eye-rolling.  Even with those moments though, I am so glad I read this book.  It was a perfect read for my reading slump.  It features Aidan who is not only sexy as hell, but he can be…..well an ass. Some of the things he did were enough to make me want to punch him if he were real.  Then he would have tender moments with his family that would just make me swoon like an infatuated little girl.  Emma was okay for a character.  At times she was weak, but overall a strong character.

Be prepared though, the ending is left in a cliffhanger and wanting the sequel.  Some people don’t like the cliffhanger endings, but I think the author did it at the right time in the story.  I can’t wait to start the next book in the series so I can get my Aidan fix!

MY RATING

Very Good! I would recommend this book!
