Review: Rainbow by K.L. Savage (Ruthless Kings MC: Baton Rouge #1)


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Give Me Books Promotions.

I've noticed K.L. Savage on quite a number of Give Me Books Promotions sign-ups over the past few months, but I've hesitated because the events were for an on-going series, and experience has taught me that jumping into the middle of that can get messy. When I saw the sign-up for Rainbow, though, I realized that the perfect opportunity had finally come along! Not only is this the first in a spin-off series, but it was an M/M romance, which is a personal favorite. Ruthless Kings MC: Baton Rouge is an MC romance spin-off of the original Ruthless Kings MC series, but not having read the latter, I can confidently say you can dive in and still enjoy this new series even if you've yet to read the other one.

Rainbow takes readers to Louisiana and introduces them to the Baton Rouge Chapter of the Ruthless Kings motorcycle club. This series starter is about the club's VP, Nathan Rainbow Kennedy, who is also a smokejumper. He's got a job he's dedicated to, a club that feels more like family, and a younger brother he would die for, but when he meets Ryan Hathaway, Rainbow realizes what he's been missing. He's never wanted another man before, but the paramedic from Vegas isn't just any man. Exploring their connection is something they'll fight for, but can they withstand Mother Nature and unknown danger?

This was a good first read from K.L. Savage, and I get why many readers are as addicted to their books as they are. Rainbow was an entertaining bi-awakening story with a hint of mystery to it. The romance had insta-love vibes to it, and everything progresses rather quickly, not just between the main characters, but with every single event that hits them and the club. Figuring out who was behind the threats and violence wasn't too difficult, but that didn't take away from the overall enjoyment of reading the book. There are also quite a few notable supporting characters who snagged my attention, so I'm looking forward to checking the rest of the series going forward. I'm handing Rainbow four stars.

Release Date: 20 July 2021

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

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
