Review: Claiming Menace by L. Wilder (Ruthless Sinners MC #5)


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

L. Wilder is one of the reigning queens of the MC (motorcycle club) romance sub-genre, and she's become one of my go-to authors over the past few years. She returns with the fifth book in her Ruthless Sinners MC series, and this time around, she gives readers the story of the club's computer whiz and hacker extraordinaire, Menace. When Jared Hughes was a teenager, he used his computer skills to help out a girl he had a thing for. He had no idea it would lead the infamous Ruthless Sinners to his door. Even more shocking was the fact that they wanted him to prospect for their club. This was a major turning point in his life, and he's been a proud member of the brotherhood since. When he meets a woman applying for a job at Stilettos, the strip club Menace manages on behalf of the Sinners. He may not realize that Aubrey Cash is his newest game changer, but what he does know is that he wants her...and that Aubrey is lying about who she is. 

Ooh, but how these two had some awesome sexual tension sizzling between them! I loved that even though Aubrey was in fear for her life, she was also someone who refused to put others in harm's way and that she believed in righting wrongs. Jared/Menace was someone she needed on her side, but she was a tad resistant in the beginning, so there was this great push and pull happening between them, making for an even more intense connection. The suspense part of the story involves what happened to Aubrey's family a few years back, and how that's come back to haunt her. Naturally, once she's part of Jared/Menace's life, there's no way he'd allow any harm to come to her, and protective Jared/Menace is quite hot, thank you very much. As always, L. Wilder does a great job creating a story of romance and suspense with her own brand to it. I was truly entertained and can't wait to read more from this series. 4.5 stars go to Claiming Menace.

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)

Image
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
