Bitten By Deceit by Shawntelle Madison

My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars

For a short story this book wasn't bad.� I just really enjoy longer books that go into more details to add to the story line.� Emma is an alpha werewolf and in trouble.� She�is running from her pack leader and searching for the man/wolf she loves who left the pack years ago.� Kyle left the pack after fighting with Liam for pack leader.� Emma wouldn't go with him because of her younger sister.� Now Liam has lost his mind and is turning the pack into rogues.� He has bitten Emma and she can feel herself changing, but she is giving up without a fight.� She just needs Kyle to help her save the pack from whatever Liam is doing.� There is hurt, selfiousness, and a side of witchcraft in this very short story.� I just needed more to my story.

Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

Wow, I mean WOW!� Now that is how to give both sides to a story.� I did not reread Beautiful Disaster before I read Walking Disaster but this story was so great that I didn't need to.� I didn't realize how much Travis loved Abby from her point of view.� Hearing about his past made it easier to understand why he was consumed with his feelings for her.� It may have been unhealthy at times but Travis was truly in love with Abby and he never doubted she was his one.� Now don't get me wrong, there were times I found him to be a complete jerk and wanted Abby to smack him in the head.� The problem was that he really didn't know how to love in a complete and healthy way.�

I strongly recommend this book!� However, it should not be read before BD.� I would like more, maybe perhaps a story for Travis's brothers?�

Own the Wind: A Chaos Novel

My Rating 4 our of 5 Stars

I love Kristen Ashley books. �I also love me some motorcycle men!! �This is another hit for Ashley. �I have to go back and read the Dream Man series.�

Tabby and Shy drove me a little crazy.� They were obviously hung up on each other but didn't know how to let the other know.� Games were played, assumptions made,� bad things said and hearts broken.� They lost many years because of this.� I'm thinking, "Hey big, bad biker guy!� You want the girl then screw the consequences and TAKE her."� This is where I was unable to give the fifth star.� I needed a little more rough and rowdy.� I like my motorcycle clubs more hard core.�

When they did return to each other they were amazing together.� Finally they realized how made for each other they were.� What started as friendship grew into forever.� Together they are hot, hot and yum.� Tabby doesn't take crap off Shy and he won't allow anyone to give her any.� Once he stopped fighting and she loved him back he found what was most important to him.� Yes, even more than his club.�

I can't wait for the next book in sereis.� Thank you publishers and NetGalley for allowing me to read.

Dare to You by Katie McGarry

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

Beth was hardcore in Pushing the Limits and now we know why.� This girl has lived a life of tragedy and betrayal.�� Her anger is the only thing keeping her from completely loosing her mind.� Beth has been taking care of her mother for several years.� Now she does it from her aunt's house because her drugged out mom can't get rid of the loser boyfriend that beats on them both.� At least she has her best friend Isaiah and Noah, who is�like a�brother.� This is her family and what keeps her sane.� That is until one�phone call�to go help her mom changes everything in Beth's world.�Now she is being forced to live with her Uncle Scott who abondaned her when she was little.� He is also forbidding her to have any contact with her previous life.

Ryan is the�All-American Boy�Next Door with a dream to play major league baseball.� Well that is�what everyone�thinks when they look at him and his "perfect" life.� However, Ryan has secrets too.� He also has his best friends to keep him going but his family is tearing him up.� �Ryan and his�friends have a tendency to get carried away in their dares.��And this is what leads him to Beth.�

Ryan and Beth began on a dare.� They have this undeniable pull to each other which begins to fill the emptiness.�� Beth doesn't trust Ryan.� She is aware of the dare and has been burned by a jock before.� Everyone she has ever trusted has let her down, her mother, father, Uncle Scott, and Isaiah.� The strange thing is the safe feeling she has when she is around Ryan.� This is a feeling she only has ever felt with Isaiah.� But the problem is she doesn't plan on staying in this town.� She has to rescue her mother from herself and the abusive boyfriend.�

I love this book and the series.� The characters are real-life struggles.� McGarry described it perfect when Ryan was trying to deal with the life Beth was living.� He was seeing all the horrible things he heard or read about just by driving down a street and going to a party with her friends.� This isn't a story that is built on romance.� It is a story about living a hard life and praying that someone will finally love you back.� I cannot wait for Isaiah's story.�

Reverse Cowgirl by Jaden Wilkes

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

This is the story of how so much heartache could have been avoided had the couple just shared how they felt.    Danny loved Jake but she knew she had to get out of the small town they lived in.  She wanted to go to school and see the world.  Jake was older and already started living life.  The problem is he didn't even know Danny wanted to leave.

Without a word Danny leaves and breaks Jake's heart.  Determined not to love again he just uses women to meet his needs and moves on.  He ends up marrying Danny's high school enemy.  This was destined to end before it started.  Now Jake is alone again.

Life in the city isn't making Danny as happy as she hoped and planned.  After catching her boyfriend in her bed with someone from their work Danny packs up and heads back to her parents.  Now she has to figure out if Jake was her one true love and meant to be her forever.  Is Jake able to forgive her or will he get revenge by pretending to start over only to break her heart?

The story is romantic, frustrating, suspenseful, and hot.  I cheered for Danny and Jake the who time.  I think their miserable ex's need to hook up.  There is some hot and yummy lovin.
