“This book was heartbreaking at times but sure kept me on the edge of my seat. I have loved this series and can’t wait for more..” ~Doris

“...the story is raw and painful to read at times. D.M. is going to break your heart, give you little tiny hopes and have you begging for Nicholas to make it out of this situation so he can fight for the things he deserves.” ~Pam

Feared by most, except his brothers in the club who think they know him, Nicholas “Chains” Bruno has many secrets hidden so deep he is tormented by them. Isolating himself, the solitude and loneliness is weighing him down and Chains doesn’t see a way out of this hell. As the Grimm Wolves MC Enforcer, he needs to keep up the persona that has taken years to cultivate. But deep down in his soul there is only one, no two, things he craves day in and day out and feels he can’t have: the two people who love and accept him for who he truly is. Chains continues to try to fight to mesh his two worlds together, giving in to his ultimate dream—only to push it away when they get too close—hurting the ones who love him the most. He knows once the MC world discovers he is not what he appears, the only thing that has been a constant in his life for years will be in ruins and he’ll lose his brothers, the club, and end up truly alone.

Adding to his torment, an unexpected enemy decides to make a move when the Grimm Wolves MC least expects it. The end result devastates the club because Chains is snatched, and his brothers don’t have a clue who has him or why. Trying to ride on the right side of the law, the club still has many allies on that other side who they reach out to for help. However, that one secret Chains has kept close to his heart is slowly being revealed as mystery items are being delivered to different MC clubs. With his brothers curious and the club fighting to find Chains, two people step up knowing that now is the time to share Chains’ double life with the club. Once they come out to the Grimm Wolves, Chains’ story takes a different path that no one saw coming.

Will the club be able to find Chains? Can he hold on and survive the constant abuse at the hands of unknowns who enjoy making him suffer? Worst of it all, Chains has no idea who they are or what they truly want. As he remembers all the wasted years, and the few and far between moments of true happiness when he let his walls down and just followed his heart, all he can do at this moment is continue to fight to get back to the two who mean the most to him and something he hasn’t done in forever. Pray.

 

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.

I have been hooked on this series since book one so I was more then ready to get my hands on this new installment. This time we get to know Chains, the MC Enforcer, who has secrets that he keeps to himself. This is not a problem until he is pretty much kidnapped making it necessary for his crew to figure things out by the clues sent to them. This makes for a very suspenseful read that will have you turning the pages until you hit the end wishing there was more. Quite the fun read I must say. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.

Book Blitz & Giveaway for Devil's Temptation by Trish Heinrich

Devil’s Temptation
Trish Heinrich
(Silver City Celestials, #1)
Publication date: August 24th 2021
Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance

I’m just a human, standing in front of the devil…
…trying not to succumb to my darkest desires.

The truth is, all a girl really needs is chocolate and a lifetime supply of AA batteries.

Well, that and revenge on the ex that destroyed my career as an investigative journalist.

Which is why the devilishly handsome dark angel that saved my life is nothing more than a means to an end. Getting close to him will resurrect my career.

But when he looks at me like I’m his greatest desire, I can’t resist the temptation of knowing what forbidden fruit like him would taste like.

After all, I’ve learned my lesson. This time it’s just pleasure, no attachment.

Because men like him were made to break hearts, and mine can’t afford anymore cracks.

Warning: This book has a wounded bad boy billionaire, a feisty heroine, steamy public displays of affection and a HOT HEA. If that’s your romance poison, then you may have to stay up all night to finish Devil’s Temptation. (This is a full-length novel with a dual first person POV and a guaranteed HEA. Recommended for mature audiences.)

EXCERPT:

“Just let me go home and forget this whole night ever happened!”

“I don’t want you to go,” Nathan said.

“And why not? You want to ask me for another favor?”

“No, I–”

“Because right now the only thing I want is–”

“I want you to stay, Tessa! And not because I want a favor.”

I swallowed because his voice wasn’t angry or demanding. It was panicked, almost desperate as if he needed me to understand.

“Why then?” I asked, more calmly.

He closed the small distance between us, the heat of his body grazing over mine. Flecks of gold ignited in his eyes, sending my blood pounding through my veins.

“I want you, Tessa.”

“Me?” I tried to keep some kind of distance in my voice, a kernel of disbelief. But it was hard when Nathan was looking like he wanted to devour me.

“I’ve wanted you from the first moment I laid eyes on you,” he breathed. “I think of you all day and night. I imagine what it would be like to kiss you, taste you. I get lost in those thoughts and I never want to leave. Wanting you…it’s consuming me.”

He was running his hands up my arms while he spoke, his fingers trailing heat in their wake. I couldn’t breathe hearing him talk like that, it was too much to hope that he felt so much for me.

“I…”

“Tell me you want me, too.”

I’d never heard Nathan plead before, and I had a feeling I was one of the few.

My eyes skated over his face, fingers following the trail of my gaze. He closed his eyes, savoring my touch.

“I want you,” I breathed. “Nathan–”

His lips captured mine in a kiss that seared my soul, spreading a fire under my skin that would devour me, and I didn’t care. My hands found their way into his hair as his arms crushed my body to his. My tongue plundered his mouth, waking the sleeping hunger deep inside. I needed him so badly that my entire body ached for more of his hands, his mouth.

Just as I was about to hook my leg over his hip and climb him like a fucking tree, Nathan broke off the kiss and tugged me toward the private elevator waiting for us.

As soon as we were inside, he backed me against the wall, hand fisting in my hair and mouth slamming onto mine. I tugged on the ends of his shirt and shoved my hands underneath. My fingers ran greedily over the hard planes of his stomach and chest. He felt so damn good, better than I had imagined, and now I wanted to know what that hard chest would feel like on top of me, pressing me into his mattress as he fucked me.

Nathan’s lips bit their way down my throat and I let loose a moan.

“I’ve never done this in an elevator before,” I breathed.

The grin he delivered shot heat straight to my groin.

“Next time I’ll bend you over and take you right here, but this time, I want you on my bed.”

“You have imagined this, haven’t you?”

“Oh Tessa, you have no idea.”

Book Blitz & Giveaway for Love You Wrong by Julia Kent

Love You Wrong
Julia Kent
(Love You, Maine, #0.5)
Publication date: March 28th 2022
Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, Romance

Two young do-gooders working to change the world find friendship and maybe more in a cutthroat business, but when the stakes are higher than they ever imagined, will a betrayal bring them together—or ruin everything?

Kellan “Kell” Luview is a new man. He left his tourist-trap small town and his dad’s business behind in rural Maine for a position at an environmental policy think tank in Washington, D.C. More comfortable climbing trees than talking about them, he’s determined to stretch his wings as he builds a new life with an ambitious girlfriend and smart friends who are just as dedicated as he is.

Despite his love for his work and the excitement of D.C., he feels pulled in too many directions when his girlfriend Alissa starts acting weird, his best friend Rachel needs an embarrassing, public rescue, and his mom hints that things are not going well at home in Luview–“Love You”–Maine, where every day is Valentine’s Day.

As a shocking betrayal shakes the very foundation of everything he believes in, Kell must decide who to trust, who to challenge, who needs him most—and figure out fast whether Rachel’s warnings about his girlfriend are credible.

Or yet another tactical maneuver in a city founded on them.

Unraveling the mystery of who to believe pits Kell against Rachel in a battle where the truth is uncertain and hearts are just collateral damage as ambition rules over feelings.

But Kell’s had enough.

More than enough.

Time to decide what kind of man he is—and who to trust.

Love You Wrong is a novel-length prequel (40,000 words), introducing New York Times bestselling romantic comedy author Julia Kent’s new Love You, Maine series. If you love rom coms about friends who are meant for more, deep intrigue, big misunderstandings, tests of loyalty, and small town/big city clashes, then pick up this prequel and try out a new-to-you series.

EXCERPT:

They all burst into derisive laughter that hurt Kell’s heart a little.

All except Rachel. She didn’t laugh. Instead, she tilted her head and studied him.

Aha. An ally.

Until she opened her mouth and said, “I think that a tourist trap in the middle of backwoods Maine, where everything’s red, white, and pink, all heart-shaped gooey schlock, is so environmentally wasteful.”

Oh, great. Here it came again. They’d been arguing about this all year.

“She has a point,” Alissa said, but this time, something deep inside Kell couldn’t take it. Maybe the beer hit him wrong, or the stress of waiting for job offers was getting to him. Perhaps Alissa’s mixed signals got under his skin. Or maybe he just was tired?

No. It was definitely Alissa’s mixed signals.

Instead of arguing, he stood and tossed a twenty on the table, feeling the tight smile on his face.

“I gotta run. More job applications, you know.”

“Come on, Kell. Don’t be like that,” Alissa insisted, grabbing his arm.

He gently extracted himself. “I have to FaceTime with my niece in an hour anyhow.”

“You’re leaving happy hour so you can babble at a baby?” One of Alissa’s eyebrows had risen with so much judgment, it clinched his decision.

“Bye, all.” He kissed the top of Alissa’s head. “Text me.”

And he walked off toward the crosswalk, not quite angry, not quite hurt, not quite… anything.

Except confused.
