Review: Silver Biker by L.B. Dunbar (Silver Foxes of Blue Ridge #4)


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Wildfire Marketing Solutions.

"Fuck," I groan. "What do you want from me?" I'm suddenly bone-tired. "I just don't know what to do for you, how to be what you need. I don't know that I'm that rock anymore." 
"You never had to be the only thing we stood on, James. I just wanted you to need me," she says and walks to the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

It looks like L.B. Dunbar has saved the best for last because this fourth and final Silver Foxes of Blue Ridge novel was everything I could have hoped for in a second-chance romance AND a series ender. Silver Biker features forty-eight-year-old James Harrington, the last among the Harrington siblings yet to get his happily-ever-after. The thing is, he was already living his happily-ever-after, one that began nineteen years ago. He had a wife he loved and a son he adored, but six years ago, everything started to crumble. He pushed away the only woman he's ever loved, the only contact between them limited to a yearly phone call. When forty-five-year-old Evelyn Harrington nee Fitzpatrick misses making that call on their sixth year apart, James is shattered, but then the woman who continues to own his heart returns to Blue Ridge from Atlanta. The reason? She wants a divorce. Does James give in and set his Evie free or will he finally fight for their forever?

There was so much about this book that was so darn heartrending. What James and Evie had to go through was difficult beyond words, and something no parent should have to experience. This erstwhile couple had so much scar tissue left behind, but that gaping wound never fully healed, not with how everything played out afterwards. L.B. Dunbar did such a fantastic job crafting this story about two people who still loved each other and were trying to live their individual lives but remained tied to one another. Silver Biker was a beautiful tale of family, love, forgiveness, and healing, and it snags five-plus stars.

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

Blue Skies (Blue Skies #1) by Marie Sinclair Release Date: October 11, 2023 About Blue Skies Greg loves his job as a flight attendant. If only his love life could make him as happy, he’d be all set. 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
