Reaper's Fall (Reapers MC #5) by Joanna Wylde

BLURB
He never meant to hurt her.

Levi “Painter” Brooks was nothing before he joined the Reapers motorcycle club. The day he patched in, they became his brothers and his life. All they asked in return was a strong arm and unconditional loyalty—a loyalty that’s tested when he’s caught and sentenced to prison for a crime committed on their behalf.

Melanie Tucker may have had a rough start, but along the way she’s learned to fight for her future. She’s escaped from hell and started a new life, yet every night she dreams of a biker whose touch she can’t forget. It all started out so innocently—just a series of letters to a lonely man in prison. Friendly. Harmless. Safe.

Now Painter Brooks is coming home… and Melanie’s about to learn that there’s no room for innocence in the Reapers MC.

REVIEW
I received a ARC in exchange for a honest review.
4* read.
I'm a big follower of this authors work and I love this series of books and have especially been waiting for Painter's story so I was beyond excited to get a ARC. This is Painter and Melanie's story. Painter's a complete man whore and you do see glimpses of him in other books too, and we met Melanie in the last book as well so I immediately already had a connection with them. Painter may be a bad ass biker but we also see a different side to him with Melanie and the chemistry was hot between these two. Both are strong feisty characters so expect a lot of fireworks when they are anywhere near each other. They both go on a long journey full of drama and angst but you'll have to read it yourself to see if they get their happy ever after ending.
This does go back in time as well which most of the time I don't like in a book, but with this one the story needed that side to make it complete.

Great book with characters you can connect with, can't wait for the next one.

Resentment by Nicole London




Title: Resentment
Author: Nicole London
Genre: Contemporary Romance
 Release Date: October 29, 2015



Blurb

Re•sent•ment (noun)

The act of hating – no, fucking loathing Dean Collins. (Yes, I’m well aware that’s not the actual definition, but it might as well be...)

It’s been ten years since we've seen each other and the feelings are still as strong.

I’m not going to bore you with all the details of how our love was once intoxicating, consuming, and perfect.

Because it was . . . until it wasn't.

I've been fine without him. I haven’t missed his cruelty, his coldness and his spite.

And after the ugliest breakup in the history of breakups, I forced myself to move on.


Year by year, the feelings I had for him slowly drifted away, but one encounter with him recently changed everything. One encounter made me realize how the heart doesn't forget shit, and how my mind is going to have to work overtime to make sure I never forget my definition of resentment.






REVIEW
I received a ARC in exchange for a honest review.
4.5* read.
Wow you'd never think this was a debut novel by this author, it was well wrote with a story and characters I loved. I never expected to fall in love with it like I have and I loved it's unique style on romance. I was addicted from the first chapter and I finished it in one go as i couldn't put it down. First off the main thing that grabbed my attention was the cover. Erm holy sh** I'm in love with this cover. Next the characters you instantly connect with and I fell in love with Mia and Dean and went on their journey to.
This is Dean and Mia's story and it certainly isn't all hearts and flowers as you can tell from the title and blurb. Their relationship is raw and has its big ups and downs, but that's what this stories about, their journey which includes the highs and lows. It shows their past and present and you get to see and feel all their emotions. You grow along with the charters and you take their journey with them, which as a reader you want in a book.
I'm so excited for this authors future work this been her debut novel I can't wait to see what other brilliance she writes.

Excerpt

“Are you coming to the pep rally tonight?” he asks.

“Probably not.”

“Why?”

“School spirit isn’t really my thing. No offense, but…football isn’t either.”

He laughs, and I suddenly realize that the two of us have never talked about football during our sessions together. In fact, whenever I’ve brought it up, he’s changed the subject to something else.

“Well,” he says, letting my hand go. “You should come for me instead.”

“What? What do you mean?”

“I mean, since you’re not into school spirit or football, but you’re clearly into me, you can make an exception and come tonight.”

“You’re getting quite presumptuous lately.” I put on my best poker face. “Do I need to help you with that definition?”

“Not when I know the true word you’re looking for is cognizant.” He grins, stepping back. “I hope to see you tonight.”

“I’ll think about it.”

“I’m sure you always do.” He gives me a look so sexy that I almost melt into the floor.

Goddamn, Dean Collins…

REVIEW
I received a ARC in exchange for a honest review.
4.5* read.
Debut authors book but you can't tell this is their first book. It was well wrote with a gripping story and I loved the characters too. From the very first chapter it pulled me in and I didn't leave till I'd devoured every last page.
Mad Max is sexy and a pure alpha who can melt your panties right off. Max and Tess were smoldering together and only continued to get hotter throughout the book. Max is in prison and Tess is a lawyer who ends up kidnapped and on the run with him (don't worry I'm not giving anything away as it tells you that in the blurb). So many twists and turns that leave you on the edge of your seat I never knew what to expect next and I love that in a book. 
After this debut book I'm really excited for this authors future work.

Excerpt

“Fuck,” he groans before he slides his fingers inside of me.

I want to say that woke me up, that I’m no longer in some lust-filled haze where I’m allowing a total stranger, an escaped criminal who is holding me hostage, to finger fuck me out in the open after just having spanked me. I would love to say that. I can’t. My head goes down and I groan at the feel of him sliding his fingers inside of me and stretching my walls. I haven’t been with a man in well over a year and just his fingers are tight, but it brings back memories of skin against skin, hot breath on my body, being filled by another person and being close to someone. They are all things that I’ve missed in the past year and none of those things my vibrator can bring me. Still, I shouldn’t be finding any of those things with Max. I should stop this before it goes any further, but I don’t get the chance. His fingers slide out of me and then his hand cups my pussy as he bends down to whisper in my ear.

“For however long this lasts, you will listen to what I say and obey me,” his harsh voice rumbles in my ear and it should scare me. It should infuriate me. Why do I feel the urge to do everything he tells me?

Excerpt

Donovan Miller braced his arms on the side of the pool as he pushed himself out of the water. His limbs trembled slightly from exertion. He reached for his towel and caught sight of the swimmer a few lanes away. She was tiny. Her body moved smoothly through the water, mesmerizing him as she rotated back and forth. He could tell she was an experienced swimmer by the consistency in her strokes. As he toweled off, he admired the curves of her body. Alarm bells rang in his head when he realized she was rapidly approaching the wall and showed no sign of slowing.

"Hey! Hey! Watch out!" he shouted as he ran toward her lane, hoping desperately to intercept her.

With a dim thud, her head hit the side of the pool. He watched as her eyes rolled back and she sank under the water.

"Shit! Shit!"

Jumping into the swimmer's lane, he pulled her to the surface, attempting to immobilize her neck as much as possible. He assessed her pulse and checked to make sure her airway wasn't compromised.

"Call an ambulance," he barked at the dumbstruck lifeguards headed in their direction.

She floated in his arms, eyes closed, bleeding. He took a moment to feel thankful he'd seen the effects of blood mixed with water before. Even a small amount of blood can look like a murder scene when water is added. He held her while they waited for the ambulance. He stroked her hair and checked her pulse again, disconcerted by the feeling of her soft skin under his fingers. Her eyes fluttered open, affording him a concerned glance before she winced in pain.

"What happened?" Her voice was thin and raspy.

"Shh, don't try to move, sweetheart. You slammed into that wall pretty hard."

"I . . . mmm . . . lost my count."

"It's gonna be okay."

She frowned, eyebrows pulling together. "Can I get up now?"

"There's an ambulance on the way. They'll be here in a minute. We need to wait to move you. I want to get you on a spine board and in a neck brace." He smiled and locked eyes with her. "What's your name, sweetheart?"

"Valerie. Valerie Peters." Her face pulled into an adorable frown again. "Don't call me sweetheart. I don't even know you."

NJ Flatman, known to most of the world as Jenni, lives in Michigan and is an author of romance and erotic romance that borders on the dark side.

Writing since she was old enough to hold a pen to paper (yes she’s THAT old), she has crafted many stories and poems over the years. She has spent the past decade making a living as a ghostwriter before gaining the courage to dive into the Indie world and publish her own books.

Her first book, Consumed, was released to the public on June 5, 2015. It is the first in a series of five books. The second, Forbidden, released on August 15. 2015. Obsessed, Addicted and Bound will release in October 2015, December 2015 and February 2016 respectively.

She feels that a quote by Stephen King best describes her views on romance, especially in her writing.

"Love isn’t soft, like those poets say. Love has teeth which bite and the wounds never close."

It is this belief that guides her writing, leading her to tackle topics that aren’t always happy and easy going. She believes that a real love survives all of the adversity and that’s what she hopes her books show.


When she isn’t working the day job or pouring her heart and soul into her own books, she tries to enjoy the little things in life and make the most of every day with her daughter, friends and loved ones.
