From the author of the USA Today bestselling A Little Too Far series, the first in an edgy new contemporary romance series that follows a family on the run…

As the oldest son of a Chicago crime lord, Robert Delgado always knew how dangerous life could be. With his mother dead and his father in prison, he’s taking charge of his family’s safety—putting himself and his siblings in witness protection to hide out in a backwater Florida town.

Fourth grade teacher Adri Wilson is worried about the new boy in her class. Sherm is quiet and evasive, especially when he’s around his even cagier older brother. Adri can’t help her attraction to Rob, or the urge to help them both in whatever way she can.

But the Delgados have enemies on two sides of the mob—their father’s former crew and the rival family he helped take down. It’s only a matter of time before someone finds them. And if Rob isn’t careful, Adri could end up in the crossfire…

Brotherhood. Club. Family.

They live and ride by their own rules.

These are the Raven Riders…

Raven Riders Motorcycle Club President Dare Kenyon rides hard and values loyalty above all else. He’ll do anything to protect the brotherhood of bikers—the only family he’s got—as well as those who can’t defend themselves. So when mistrustful Haven Randall lands on the club’s doorstep scared that she’s being hunted, Dare takes her in, swears to keep her safe, and pushes to learn the secrets overshadowing her pretty smile.

Haven fled from years of abuse at the hands of her criminal father and is suspicious of any man’s promises, including those of the darkly sexy and overwhelmingly intense Ravens’ leader. But as the powerful attraction between them flares to life, Dare pushes her boundaries and tempts her to want things she never thought she could.

The past never dies without a fight, but Dare Kenyon’s never backed down before…

tina thoughts a review for youI love a good angsty rockstar romance and Cadence is a fantastic addition to the genre. There is emotion, drama, lust, and affection that turns into something so much more! Lisa Swallow does a great job of incorporating the realities of a band tour across the continent and the dangers that face those in that realm. There are high moments and low moments, all which combine to create a story that is flirty and high energy.

This is the first book I have ever read from Lisa Swallow. I will definitely be looking up the Blue Phoenix series after reading this book and as well as anything else she has written. This story is an incredible blend of the harsh limelight and the beautiful beginnings of new love. It showcases the ugly side of fame but also shares the determination of a connection between two headstrong young people who clash but click so well. I appreciated how Lisa addressed the different issues that accompany fame. She does not shy away from the drinking, the drugs, the partying, and the rabid fans. Instead she takes those realities and weaves them into a story that will draw you in and make you see things in a surprising perspective.

The chemistry between Tegan and Jax is hot and sizzling. These two are connected through a mutual lust that quickly develops into an all-consuming romance that is full of heartache and sweet moments. They both have such different directions in life but the longing they have for one another seems to deter from that. It was lovely to watch them learn to accept the situations they found themselves in and how to trust each other. There are so many highs and lows in their relationship. They must learn to stay true to who they are but also how to compromise in life. These two are young and you feel that in this story. Both of them also have some major life experiences under their belt. Lisa does a fantastic job of balancing their “innocence” in life and their vast experiences. You feel like they are finally in the clear and then something happens to snatch that happiness away. I loved the rollercoaster romance in this book and the raw feel to their love story.

I am so excited to see what Lisa has in store for the Ruby Riot series. Cadence was a fabulous beginning to a new series, something I am sure the Blue Phoenix fans will appreciate. This book has everything you expect to read from a rockstar romance with a tinge of something more. I am excited to see what happens next in the series and look to see glimpses of Tegan and Jax in the future!

Blog Tour + Review: INEVITABLE LOVE (Navy Love #1) by JC Santos

Inevitable Love is fantastic debut novel from J.C. Santo, an author I will be keeping an eye on. Check out the first book in the Navy Love series and see what I thought in my review below! Make sure to add it to your TBR list today.

Inevitable LoveInevitable Love
(Navy Love, #1)
J.C. Santo
Release Date: October 16, 2015

e058f-goodreads
Sometimes the things we fight hardest against are inevitable in the end.

Hunter Stevenson wasn’t interested in wasting nights with bed warmers, he had a daughter to take care of and a life to build. Leaving behind the mother of his four year old child and her incessant partying, Hunter moves closer to his family to help provide Sawyer some stability.

Tessa Daniels didn’t share the ‘typical American dream’ like most girls.  A husband, 2.5 kids and a white picket fence weren’t the things she wanted for herself. She had a plan laid out, which included a career in the Navy and being surrounded by her best friends. She was perfectly content with her carefree, fun lifestyle and her casual relationships, but all of that changed when she met him.

What neither of them expected was a nosy brother and best friend with some serious matchmaking skills. The two have an instantaneous pull towards one another, they can’t fight the spark even though they both do.  Until one drunken night, Tessa throws herself at Hunter, only to face an agonizing rejection. However, Hunter’s gentlemanly facade doesn’t last with the sassy sailor girl, his alpha attitude quickly emerges in the midst of their sexual tensions.

Hunter refuses to be another one of Tessa’s casual hook-ups, and won’t allow her to run away from the idea of ‘them’. No matter how many obstacles stand in their way of a happily ever after. Now he must convince Tessa that their inevitable love is worth fighting for.

 tina thoughts a review for youThere is always a sort of anticipation when you read a new author, one you have never heard of but somehow stumbled across. You never know what you are going to get. Inevitable Love by JC Santos is one of those books by a new to me author and I found myself enjoying this story immensely. I was surprised by the way the story progressed, assuming I knew what was going to come next but constantly finding myself pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed reading a story with a type of role reversal, adding a twist to books we know and love in the genre. This story had a feisty female, a sexy twin brother, and a love story that was surprisingly sweet and sassy.

Inevitable Love has a bit of a role reversal which was my favorite part. Tessa is a naval officer, a woman who doesn’t commit but instead plays the field of her singledom. She is strong willed and feisty. Her confidence is tangible and her independence is a mark on who she is. I loved that she was the player in this story, not in a bad way but instead a role that we would usually see in the male lead character. She is not looking for commitment and doesn’t see that in her future for a very long time, if ever. Hunter is a single dad, a teacher, and the sexy sweet man who wants to have more than a single encounter with Tessa. He is a strong man with an equally strong personality but he is the one who longs for commitment and a future of familial bliss. When these two get together there is a spark of chemistry that causes a wildfire to follow in its wake. Their attraction is immediate and the more they learn of each other, the harder they fall. I loved seeing them learn to embrace their relationship and fall deeper in love.

When I read the synopsis, I assumed I knew what would happen. Shame on me. This story took a few twists and turns that were completely justified and the plot thickened. I loved how the chase was not the entire story. They build something that is a solid foundation in this story and we begin to see a glimpse into the ever after part. There are ups and downs, good and bad. There are obstacles to overcome and issues to address in the book. Tessa and Hunter’s relationship is based on a passionate connection and a mutual respect and admiration. I loved watching them grow deeper into what they were meant to be. They clicked and it was sweet to watch their family solidify as the story progresses.

Every person in this story is an important part of what is happening. I loved Sawyer so much! She is adorable and her personality is full of life and innocence. I loved Marshall, Hunter’s twin. I enjoyed the soulmate relationship and friendship he has with Tessa. I liked getting to see more about their close knit groups of friends and their families. Each secondary character enhances the story and helps the reader to better understand a new facet of our main characters’ personality.

This story has sweet moments and moment of passion. There are moments of heartache and profound hope. I loved how the story took a different direction that I was anticipating. It had everything I expected from what the synopsis portrays but there is so much more to experience and enjoy. I am excited that this is the first in a new series and I am excited to see what more comes. I want to see more of the group of friends as they all experience life and love. I am hoping for little glimpses of Tess and Hunter too!

excerpt alert“I see the way you look at her, Edric. Your eyes follow her, you dance the longest dances with her, and now, you’re sending her presents. I’ve known you too long not to know that this is unlike you. You’re not Kael. You don’t fraternize with the Affiliates who parade themselves in front of you, hoping for a scrap of your time. Yet here you are with this Cyrene. What is she to you?” Daufina asked.

At her question, Edric paced the long room. She watched him through the silence and wondered what he was thinking.

“You told me once that you would inform me if you wanted to take a mistress—”

“I do not want to take a mistress,” Edric snapped.

Daufina straightened in surprise. He never raised his voice with her.

“I apologize,” he said with a sigh. “I didn’t mean to startle you.”

“Just talk to me.”

“Would you believe me if I said that I didn’t want anything to do with her?” His eyes were pleading.

“No,” Daufina admitted.

“No,” he agreed. “No, I wouldn’t either. I keep telling myself that I’m acting like a fool, Daufina, but then I see her again.” He stroked his chin as he tried to find the words. “She has this pull. When I’m with her, the throne slips away, and I’m just a man with a beautiful woman. It both intrigues and terrifies me.” He splayed his hands before him. “I can never be anything but the king…but when I’m with her, I want to be.”

2e7ff-goodreads-button-with-shadow
How would I describe myself? Well, I’m Muse Harper. I’m a twenty-something painter who loves red wine, quirky movies, and men with a fatal flaw. But that was before I met Jasper King. He became my fatal flaw. Eight months ago, I had a choice to make—abandon everything I’ve ever known to protect my family, or stay and risk someone getting hurt. I chose the former. My plan was working just fine until I found out my father had gone missing.

That’s when I met Jasper. A bounty hunter with the eyes of a tiger and the nose of a bloodhound, he was supposed to help me find my father. What I didn’t know was that meeting him was no accident. Hunting people isn’t all that Jasper does. And helping me was only part of his plan. I just wish I’d found out sooner, before my heart got involved. But even then, I don’t know if I’d have done things differently.

Now, I have another choice to make—trust the man that I’m falling in love with and hope that he’ll do the right thing, or run as far away from him as I can get. And is he strong enough to let her?

Is she strong enough to trust the most dangerous man she’s ever met? And is he strong enough to let her?

Blog Tour + Review + Book Trailer + Giveaway : NO LIMIT (Armed and Dangerous #1) by L.P. Dover

Welcome to the NO LIMIT Blog Tour! I am excited to share with you a great book, some fun teasers, my review, a book trailer, and fun giveaway with you! Check out more about LP Dover’s awesome new book NO LIMIT, the first book in her new Armed and Dangerous series!

NO LIMIT
Armed and Dangerous #1
L.P. Dover
Genre: New Adult Romance
Release Date: June 1, 2015
2e7ff-goodreads-button-with-shadow
Murder. Lies. Betrayal.

I deal with those things every day. My name is Jason Avery, one of the best undercover agents in the country. I have yet to fail on a mission, which is why I’ve been sent to Vegas. Countless women have been abducted, tortured, only to show up dead in the middle of the night. It’s my job to find out which sick fuck is responsible. Unfortunately, every lead sends me to a dead end; at least, until Aylee McFadden shows up at my door.

Aylee is a stubborn, headstrong FBI agent and also one of the sexiest women I’ve ever seen with a gun. In joining me, it gives us the leverage we need to get on the inside. She fights me at every turn, but soon realizes there’s more to me than tattoos and a dirty mouth. I can’t get enough of her. Now that we’re in the game, we’re one step closer to solving the crime. However, gambling with money isn’t what the big boys want. They want the one thing I’m not willing to give.

It’s a no limit game, and if I back down I lose everything. I will lose her.

tina's thoughts

L.P. Dover has opened up a new fabulous world in her novel NO LIMIT and I am excited for her new series, Armed and Dangerous, to grow and suck me in!  NO LIMIT is filled with sweet moments, sexy moments, and moments of high danger and adrenaline. If you love a world filled with high stakes poker and undercover work, then this story is for you! If you love a high action story filled with excitement and romance, then make sure to grab your copy.

NO LIMIT is written in the same style as all the other LP Dover books I have read. They are a quick read filled with a good amount of plot, sexy characters, and a fun new way to see a situation that you may or may not have read before. This book takes you into the belly of the beast in Las Vegas, where lies, murder, and euphoria are the norm. Our two main characters are racing the clock in order to save women from being murdered and discover who the true evil is.

This story starts off running and doesn’t let up. It is fast paced and keeps you going till the end. Whether it is the action packed case or the growing romance, there is always something to latch onto and draw you in. This book is a quick read and just enough of a story to distract you till the end. LP’s books (at least the ones I have read) seem to focus more on the adrenaline and romance than the heavy emotion of a story. Not to say that there are unfeeling characters- there are just more moments of excitement and swooning than tears and pain. I love being able to read her books and get distracted for a while. They always have what you want as a reader without too much baggage to weigh you down.

NO LIMIT takes the reader on an adventure with Jason and Aylee as they attempt to solve a growing murder case before another victim goes missing. This book does a great job of taking the reader into the underground high class world of gambling, one filled with danger and no rules. Both Jason and Aylee are such strong and brilliant characters. These two are seasoned law enforcement officers and they both play the game to win and bring justice to the victims and their families. Jason is cocky and brilliant. Aylee is smart and sexy. When you put these two together on the pages of this book, there are many moments of sweet, moments or sexy, and many moments of humor and excitement. I loved how these two characters interacted. They worked well together as a team and both brought many positive qualities to the table. In this story they are truly equals, both able to fight to justice in unique and powerful ways.

This story has one of LP’s signatures- a high adrenaline story. This book plays out live an action movie or like one of my favorite crime solving TV show. There is something that draws you in and takes you on a wild ride. I loved how both main characters are equally strong in this book. They are both trained and dangerous, willing to do whatever it takes to bring justice and save lives. The situations our two main characters find themselves in are intriguing and sometimes terrifying. I loved seeing them commit to what needed to be done and the ways that they continued to fight the bad guys. Jason and Aylee are total bada$$es and watching them interact and sneak around was wonderful!

The romance in this book added to the story. It was a bit of instalust but most stories are these days. Despite that fact, these two are fiercely protective of each other and the click very well. Their chemistry is perfect and I loved how they give and take in their new relationship and partnership. This book is filled with sweet moments and sexy moments between Jason and Aylee. I enjoyed how their love story unfolded and seeing what happened after the case. I am forever a hopeful romantic and this book hit all the marks in spades!

If you are looking for a quick, fun, and exciting read, then check out NO LIMIT. This story creates a world of high stakes that will draw you in and keep you guessing till the end. I am excited to see more from LP and this series! I love her Gloves Off series and seeing a bit of cross over from those characters was icing on the cake for me. Make sure to check out this book and see for yourself how much fun and danger can be found in Vegas!

The American Royalty Series is coming!!!

HarperCollins will be publishing Nichole’s new series The American Royalty Series in Winter 2016, and you are NOT going to want to miss what Nichole has up her sleeve!

  • Jake. Jake. Jake.
  • Um….did I mention Jake?
  • The easy and beautiful writing you’ve come to know and love from Nichole Chase

A Message from Nichole:

I’m very excited to be working with HarperCollins to bring the American Royalty series to life. I’m very interested in the life of politics–there is so much that goes on behind the scenes that most people never hear about and it intertwines with our daily government and in some ways, affecting everyone. As I was thinking about that fact, Jake and Maddie’s story began to take form and I found myself enthralled by the challenges they would face and just what their happy-ever-after would entail, if there could *be* a happy-ever-after.

Beautiful alluring young woman in sexy turquoise lingerie lying on the floorAbout Book 1 (Title To Be Announced) in The American Royalty Series:

Color me jaded, but coming home just isn’t the same when you have to go through security before you can see your dad. Don’t get me wrong, everyone had to go through security to see my dad. Even Kings, Queens, celebrities, my step-mother and half-brother we’re given the metal detector treatment. It wasn’t like I was a hooligan being singled out. It’s just part of life when your father is president. Go figure.

Maddie’s father is in his second term as president and she could care less. Being a politician’s child has made her world weary and leery of being manipulated. When she comes home from college for her summer break, she thinks it’s the last time she’ll be in the white house. Her father’s term is almost over and she’ll finally be able to live the life she wanted. What she doesn’t count on is facing her nemesis, Jake Simmon, back from the war. As the son of the Vice President, she had constantly been paired with him for events and during campaign tours. The tabloids loved to speculate about a possible relationship, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Jake was the perfect politician’s son. He always did as he was asked, always smiled, and to her absolute horror always looked dreamy.

In other words, he was her exact opposite.

Jake was finally home, but he couldn’t wait to escape. Instead of searching for peace and quiet after losing his leg in Afghanistan, he was sitting in on campaign meetings and giving interviews. He had never felt so helpless in his life, not even after waking strapped to a table in a blistering hot med tent. His mother was intent on using his brand new disability as a campaign tool. Show off her wounded son so people would find her relatable. The only positive thing he had to focus on was the fact that he would get to see Maddie again, which was pathetic when you considered that they hated each other. She’d always gotten under his skin, throwing caution to the wind and doing what she’d wanted while he had walked the line. In a world where everyone looked at him with sympathy, he knew she wouldn’t hold back. And though he was loathe to admit it, one of his favorite past times was verbally sparring with the spunky brunette. What he isn’t counting on is how much they have both changed over the last two years.
