Review: Holding On by L. Wilder (Ruthless Sinners MC #2)


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Enticing Journey Book Promotions.

Holding On is the second book in L. Wilder's Ruthless Sinners MC series, and the club's enforcer gets his chance to find love once again. Shotgun is Ruthless Sinners' enforcer for a reason, and he's damn good at what he does. This is the kind of life he's chosen, with brothers he trusts and know that he isn't always the most forthcoming of people. He has his reasons for not wanting to be as emotionally involved and invested, especially when it comes to a woman. He knows all too well what loss feels like, and he has yet to let go of the guilt that he's placed solely on his shoulders even after all these years. And then he and his brothers find the bruised and beaten body of a woman in the dumpster behind one of their businesses. Remington Taylor becomes his game changer. She doesn't see him as just Shotgun--she sees him as Noah, too. What will it take for him to see that holding on to the past and the guilt isn't as important as holding on to a future with his Remington?

Two books in and the Ruthless Sinners MC series continues to entertain. The manner in which Shotgun and Remington meet was certainly extraordinary, but then not much surprises me anymore when it comes to MC romances because the lifestyle isn't exactly about hearts and flowers. Their story had a slow burn feel to it, and that mostly had to do with Shotgun being as hesitant and wary as he was of acting on his attraction and feelings towards Remington, as well as trying to figure out who assaulted her and why. Great romance, action, and a whole lot of tension made Holding On a four-starred read.

Saved (Battles #2) by Hazel James Release Date: June 21, 2018 About Saved Leilani Moretti Life is out to get me.  Humvee accident that took my right hand? Strike one.  Cancer three years later that stole my breasts and hair? Strike two.  An overbearing mother who seems to think I’m twelve, not twenty-seven?  Yeah, I’m out of there.  I thought moving to Oklahoma would give me a fresh start. I hoped life would finally cut me some damn slack. But between the inept people at the VA hospital and a boss who’s hell-bent on fixing me, I just want to be left alone. Haven’t I been through enough already? Clay Prescott Joining the Army and deploying to Afghanistan? Hard. Kicking an alcohol addiction and starting a business combining fitness and mental health? Harder. Worth it? Hell yes.  Battles, my gym, has been so successful that I hired a new employee—a veteran herself—to help me open a second location. And that’s when it all goes to hell. Everything

Asexual and HIV-positive, Greg has had a series of untrustworthy boyfriends who saw him as a challenge or told him they could accept his sexuality and status. Until they couldn’t. Still reeling from his latest breakup, Greg’s romantic heart beats a little faster when he meets Holden at a club, even though his brain whispers caution. For Holden, relationships are something he can’t afford. He’s been in the closet his entire adult life because it could cost him his job if anyone finds out he’s gay. At forty-eight, hook-ups, one night stands, and quickies in a bathroom are as good as it gets for him. It’s all he’s looking for when he goes to Neon. Instead, he finds Greg. Drawn to each other from the start, the two experience a bit of a bumpy take-off. But then Holden ends up on Greg

Review: The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan (Roommates #1)

Note: This ARC was provided by the author via InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review. I do believe I've found myself a new book boyfriend to drool, erm, swoon over in Cannon Roth, male main character in bestselling author Kendall Ryan's Roommates series starter, The Room Mate . This had a familiar romance trope--falling-for-your-best-friend's-sibling--and yet I didn't find it boring or tiresome in any way. This has both heart and heat as well as lighthearted humor along with a bit of heart-tugging angst and it's headlined by a couple of main characters that I was totally smitten with from the moment Paige got a pretty good idea of just how much her best friend's younger brother Cannon had grown up from the nerdy boy who followed them around like a puppy when they were kids. Bonus points for Paige being older and for the four-legged, furball named Enchilada.  When twenty-eight-year-old Paige took the call from her best friend asking if her yo
