“There is no shortage of danger and suspense in the lives of these badasses and I'm enjoying the hail out of getting to know them better.” - iScream Book Blog
“Yep I am totally hooked on this series.” - You Can’t Resista Dirty Book Blog
“Once again Lani Lynn Vale delivers a book that pulls you in from the very first page and doesn’t let you go!” - Britt Red Hatter Book Blog
One look at the sixteen-year-old, prim and proper town goody-two-shoes, Hennessy Hanes, and Tate Casey knows he’s in trouble. He knows he should stay away from the preacher’s daughter, but there’s something about her he’s drawn to, and he can’t resist the pull. The more he gets to know her, the more he realizes that something isn’t right. He may not be able put his finger on what it is, but he’s determined to find out what’s going on with the girl with the haunted eyes. Tate didn’t anticipate that someone else would be just as determined to keep Hennessy’s nightmare a secret, and he never realizes just how far that person is willing go to keep those skeletons in the closet until it’s too late. With the very real threat of jail time hanging over his head, Tate leaves without a backwards glance at the town or the girl. The problem is that out-of-sight doesn’t necessarily mean out of mind, and it’s Tate who’s now haunted by his decision and memories of Hennessy. *** Hennessy Hanes knows better than anyone that not everything is always as it appears to be. After years of being on the receiving end of her squeaky-clean preacher father’s abuse, she seizes an opportunity to leave it all behind and runs. Her only regret is that in walking away she loses any chance with the one person who tried to save her. *** Fast forward ten years, and they’re both back where they started.  Tate was never a good boy, and it turns out that the man he’s now grown into isn’t all that much better. Anger is a living, breathing part of him, and there’s a court order forcing him to seek help from the one person he’s never forgotten. Hennessy never thought she’d see Tate Casey again, and certainly not on her couch. But now it’s her turn to save him, and there are rules she must follow as his psychologist, not to mention a court order instructing her to help him manage his anger. If she doesn’t follow those rules, he’ll end up back in jail.  Tate Casey has never been a man who followed the rules, and Hennessy is no longer the straight-laced, timid preacher’s daughter she once was.  His hands may be tied, so it looks like for the first time in Hennessy’s life, she’ll be the one breaking the rules for the chance to finally get what she’s always wanted. Him.



This is the third book in the Hail Raisers series and while I liked this one - I didn't absolutely love it.  While all of LLV have sex and language, this book had A LOT of both of those things.  It had a good storyline, but I did have a problem with the believability of a Psychologist having a fling with her patient - even if she's known that patient almost her whole life and had a crush on him.  I know it's a book and it's fiction, but I did ding another author for this and it wouldn't be right to not do it here.  It's an unethical line that shouldn't be crossed and with that being said, Hennessy did pass his case on to her friend.   There's a bunch of stuff going on in this book that's leading up to the books that are coming out in the next couple months and I really enjoyed finding out about the insights into those characters.  Again, while I believe this wasn't a five-star for me, it's going to be for a bunch of others and I might actually go back and read it again to see if I was just in a mood.  I read it while I was in the Hell Hotel at a book signing and wasn't in the greatest of moods.  Will this keep me from reading the others coming up?  Absolutely not!!  
I was given an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.  All opinions expressed are my own and do not reflect anyone else's.
I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 8, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.

Follow the tour for reviews, excerpts, and enter to win a $25 Amazon gift card PLUS 3 runner-ups will win an ebook copy of their choice from RC Boldt’s backlist titleHE LOVES ME…KNOT by RC Boldt tells the story about what happens when Emma Jane’s new boss is the same man she left at the altar eight years ago. Fans of BEFORE WE WERE STRANGERS by Renee Carlino and WAIT by A.L. Jackson will devour this angsty yet sweet and sexy second chance romance. Because sometimes love needs a second chance…



Title: HE LOVES ME…KNOT Author: RC Boldt Release Date: November 14, 2017Publisher: RC Boldt Publishing, LLCGenres: Contemporary RomanceWord Count: 76KFormat: Print and digital Synopsis: Sometimes love needs a second chance… I never looked back after skipping out on my own wedding, even if it did leave me estranged from most of my family. Eight years later, I have the life I’ve always wanted. As an advertising account executive, my world is damn near perfect. Until I come face-to-face with my past. With the man I once loved. The man who holds my future in his hands. The man who’s hell-bent on getting even with me for leaving him at the altar. Even with all the unfinished business between us, I still love Knox Montgomery. The only problem? He loves me…KNOT.Find out more at: Amazon | iBooks | B&N | Kobo


This book has the entirety of my heart and soul…right down to the daisies on the cover and the “he loves me, he loves me knot” saying all throughout the book. I’ll tell a little of why I love it so much. This book gives so much hope to those of us that have loved and lost so much – it’s not a tremendously sad book, so don’t think that. As a matter of fact, it’s more of an uplifting book that will leave you laughing out loud in some places and feeling warmhearted in others with a smile on your face.

My heart belongs to Becket and it always will…he’s just so yummy. I really loved his brother Brantley and a part of my heart was crushed because he bats for the other team. I know the book is about EJ (Emma Jane and Knox) but I read it for Becket. I fell for him in Hendy’s book and if you haven’t read Out of the Ashes (Shameless plug I know, but it’s the best book!!!) then you really should. 
Anyhow, this book is about Emma Jane or Blue as Becket calls her, who after being engaged and getting ready to walk down the aisle overhears her fiancé talking to her father about where a woman's place should be and runs out of her wedding. From there, she meets Becket and they form an unlikely friendship, one that is beneficial to each of them in their own ways.
Fast forward eight years and we meet Knox, EJ’s ex, who is the buyer of the company where EJ works. To say that she’s in shock is an understatement. To say he’s not in a good place is the understatement of the year. Watching the two together was explosive, but watching Becket and Wells (Knox’s best friend) throw EJ and Knox together was hilarious. I wanted to slap Knox a couple of times because of his hardheadedness, but I understood it. There was a part of the book where there is a reveal that I felt needed longer than the allotted time that was used, however, it didn’t slow the book down and it didn’t impede the storyline in any way. I thought the author did a wonderful job of building the story up and then letting us as the readers experience the fallout of the plot. Another thing that was profound to me was the lack of cussing in this book as opposed to the other works of this genre and yet the plot and the storyline never suffered!! That’s always been one of my critiques when reading a book is the language, and the other is extreme sexual content that can sometimes lead away from a dramatic storyline…this book didn’t do either. It was a pleasure to be able to pass this to my mom and not have to warn her ahead of time. She, of course, skipped over the sex scenes that were in the book, but there weren’t quite as many as usual and the storyline stood on its own. Next up is Becket’s book and I’m all over it.

HE LOVES ME…KNOT ExcerptCopyright © 2017 RC Boldt
Barely a minute passes before the din of light conversation ebbs to complete silence when a man enters the room and heads straight for the opposite end of the table. I can only see the back of him as he takes long, powerful strides, one hand grasping a thick binder. Something seems so familiar about him... My eyes track his movements, and my forehead creases as I try to place him. His suit is well tailored and it’s evident the man works out because even beneath the black pinstriped dress pants, his backside is firm, the fabric doing nothing to mask his powerful, muscled thighs. When he moves to set the binder down, his suit jacket shifts and hints at a firm, flat stomach beneath the button-down shirt. My appraisal continues down to his hands when he draws one hand back from the binder. An odd sensation overtakes me, and a rousing awareness crackles within the air, causing me to immediately grow still. Then he turns, fully facing everyone in the room, and it’s in this moment my breath is completely robbed from me.As if in shock, my mind refuses to operate on all cylinders, acting sluggish. I continue to take in the sight before me, cataloguing my observations. The square jawline that used to remain clean-shaven now has a short, neatly trimmed beard of the same dark shade of brown as his hair. My eyes skim over the straight nose that has the faintest bump on the bridge from the time when he was five and fel—Sweet Lord, no.As the man’s identity dawns on me, my eyes flicker over my coworkers seated around the large table before I return my panicked gaze to the individual who’s garnering attention with his commanding presence.He surveys everyone in attendance and those piercing green eyes, framed by dark lashes, scan each person and slowly travel around the table. My heart skips a beat when his eyes lands on me. If I weren’t scrutinizing so intently, I wouldn’t have caught the slight pause, the faint shift in depth of his gaze, as it grows frigid before he continues his perusal of the remainder of the staff members. My throat grows dry and I immediately wish I’d brought my water bottle along. A stick of gum, even. Anything. I should’ve known better than to think my past wouldn’t catch up to me at some point.In my case, however, it seems my past is the new owner of my place of employment. Knox Montgomery. The man I left at the altar.

Title: Crowned by HateSeries: Crowned Trilogy #1Author: Amo JonesGenre: Dark Romance/ThrillerRelease Date: November 14, 2017


Blurb
Some would say I have a privileged life. Daughter of the current President of the United States, wealthy, famous, and all things that some girls wish they had. 
Only I'd dream of having a simple life. A life where I wasn't marrying the scariest man I have ever met. Well, I thought I had just met him, but it turns out, there's so much I don't know about myself. That's all thanks to a past so twisted, so warped, that no amount of money, or presidential status could wipe it clean. 
I'm the rebel child. Or as some may see it, the disappointment. I’ve never cared about expensive wedding gowns, or how much someone paid for a tailored suit. I don’t care if your wedding dress is from Walmart, or if it’s from some fancy, upscale designer line. 
So why am I marrying the devil dressed in a thousand-dollar suit? 
I'm about to find out how I got here. To marrying one of the most powerful men in the country. The road to finding out, though, is paved with darkness, painted with the blood of innocents, and it leads my ass straight to hell. Only this hell is a multi-million-dollar penthouse suite in New York City where Bryant Saint Royal, sits on his throne.

This is the kind of book you read and don't go to sleep for hours after you read it.  It's a real mind-boggler I'll tell ya...At first, I thought "okay, this is just really kind of creepy."  Then, the more I read the creepier it got until I had this odd feeling that the way it was going to end wasn't going to be all hugs and squeezes - if you know what I mean.  
Amo is known for her version of twisted romantic suspense that leaves you going "WTF, did I just read?"  This book wasn't any different.  I can't really review Crowned by Hate without giving anything away about the storyline and letting the cat out of the bag.  This had complex characters that I really wanted to hate.  I didn't like Bryant and I'm probably in the minority if reading Facebook is any indication.  I didn't start to like him until the end of the book.  Isa was so downtrodden to me that I felt sorry for her as if her whole life she'd been searching for someone to truly love her and then everything that happens is just mindblowing.
  I will say this, that what you think is gonna happen in this story, doesn't and what you want to happen in this book, doesn't.  With those two things in mind, don't get angry when you read the book and get to the end and realize that what you thought was one thing is actually another.  This actually made me think of the beeping sound in quite a different light...
I was given an ARC copy by the publisher/author in exchange for an honest review.  All opinions expressed are my own and do not reflect anyone else's. Author Bio
Amo is a full-time writer from New Zealand who loves long romantic walks to the wine cellar. 

She loves to write like how she lives, hanging on the edge of insanity with a wine glass in one hand and her morals-or lack thereof- in the other.
Those are not my monkeys, I swear....
Oh those hellhounds? Yeah, those are mine.

DEAL BREAKER ExcerptCopyright © 2017 Tara Leigh
“Can I have my clothes now?” My throat was so tight, each word emerged strangled.“No.”No? I’d swallowed my pride to sound appreciative, practically begging for my clothes back, and he had the gall to say no? Who the hell did this guy think he was?Beneath the covers, an indignant shiver trembled through me. I couldn’t see much in the dark room, but I assumed he was the same man who’d come running into the alley last night. The memory of him was permanently ingrained in my brain. Tall, at least a foot taller than me, with close cropped dark hair and olive skin. Pale green eyes that sat above high cheekbones, fringed by long eyelashes that didn’t soften his hard edges one bit. “Listen, if you’re expecting some kind of open-armed, grateful—”“From you?” He made a noise that sounded like a snort. “I’m getting the feeling you don’t do grateful.”I winced, taken aback by the blunt honesty of his observation. “I never asked you to come running into the alley after me.”“So you’re not glad I did?”With my track record, of course I wouldn’t wind up with a run-of-the-mill good samaritan. No, instead I fell into the hands of a cocky jerk with extra time on his hands, looking for an appreciative female to stroke his ego. “How do you know I wouldn’t have been just fine on my own?”“You’re right. I don’t.” His swift capitulation surprised me, and I sagged back against the pillow. “Next time you have your head in the clouds and don’t notice two thugs hot on your tail, looking to rob or rape you, probably both, I’ll let you take your chances.”“Fine. All hail the conquering hero. Happy now?”“Are you admitting that you needed my help?”So damned smug. “Listen, we can debate my self-defense capabilities all day—”“Night. It’s the middle of the night.”“Whatever. All night, all day. There’s no difference. What I’m trying to say—”The arrogant man with a white knight complex interrupted me again. “Actually, there is a difference. The difference is—it’s nighttime, and you’re in my bed getting all hot and bothered about nonsense. Either go to sleep, or we might as well channel your energy into something more productive.”I snapped my sagging jaw shut, feeling a rush of heat between my thighs that rivaled my burning knife wound. Jeez, Nixie. Get a grip. This guy is clearly an asshole and you are not an asshole magnet.Not anymore.His low chuckle sent the hair at the back of my neck standing on end. “So that’s what it takes, huh? You know, most women would consider sex with me to be more of a bonus than a threat.”
Jesus, this guy had quite a set of balls on him. “Don’t flatter yourself, big shot. You could have called nine-one-one. Or dropped me off at the nearest hospital. I’m in your bed because you brought me here. And now I want to leave.”

What can make life worse after losing one’s wife and kids, you ask? Here’s what: being given a baby that depends on him for her survival. Finding out that the baby’s mother is dying of brain cancer, and has a husband that he never knew about. A husband that Dante knows in the marrow of his bones is trying to kill her just as surely as the cancer eating her brain. Dante’s a bad person. He’s done some not so nice things, and now he’s being punished for his misdeeds. Karma is finally catching up to him. This child that he’s been stuck with is of his flesh and bone. This child is his salvation. This child is the final nail in the coffin of his wife and daughters’ too short lives. He doesn’t want this child. But this child will save him whether he wants her to or not. With the help of a friend—yes, a woman friend—Dante finds his way back to life. But what he finds when he gets back isn’t the same life that he left behind. Turns out, he has to start living a new one. One where he's suddenly having feelings for a friend that helped him get through some tough times, and loving a daughter that won’t let him quit.

For me this book just wasn't right, wasn't a right fit, wasn't a good read. This is the second read from the author this month and it just had wayyyy too much sex and cussing. Maybe I'm a prude, but this is the second book by this author that I've read that's really needed to be labeled erotic.

Author Bio

Rie is the badass, sassafras author of Sugar Daddy and the Don’t Tell series–a breakthrough trilogy that crosses traditional publishing boundaries beginning with In His Command. Some of her latest endeavors include the Carolina Bad Boys and Bad Boys of Retribution MC series.

  A Yankee transplant who has traveled the world, Rie started out a writer—causing her college professor to blush over her erotic poetry without one ounce of shame. Not much has changed. She swapped pen for paintbrushes and followed her other love during her twenties. From art school to marriage to children and many a wild and wonderful journey in between, Rie has come home to her calling. Her work has been called edgy, daring, and some of the sexiest smut around.

  Title: The Outpost Author: Devney PerryGenre: Contemporary RomanceAbout The Outpost:Trapped in his tiny mountain cabin, she didn't expect to fall for his big heart.Exposing a prominent criminal family with an investigative news report didn’t exactly work out the way Sabrina had hoped. Instead of basking in the glory of her article’s success, she’s on the run from a powerful man who wants her dead. To stay safe, she’s forced to trade one bad situation for another. Stuck in the Montana wilderness, she’s secluded from anything resembling civilization or the modern-day world. The only good thing about her situation is the gorgeous mountain man assigned to protect her. Too bad he isn’t the slightest bit interested in a city girl like her.Beau likes his life quiet and simple. Give him a peaceful day hiking in the woods with his dog, and he’s a happy man. He has no use for large crowds, noisy cities or dramatic women. So when a hotshot reporter rolls into town, dragging her big-time problems with her, he should have run for the hills. Instead, he volunteered to keep her safe. Bringing her into his world won’t be easy, but if he can convince her that Montana isn’t as terrifying as she believes, they might just be the perfect match.Get Your Copy Today!Amazon | iBooks | B&N | Kobo


I read the last book that Devney Perry wrote, and I liked it, even though everyone else was saying her books were kind of like another author…well a lot of authors are like other authors because that’s what we do.  Here’s the thing – it works for her and I thought it worked in the last book, but this book, The Outpost was sooo much better and went above and beyond what I was expecting.  It wasn’t that it had a bunch of action because it didn’t.  It’s that I loved Beau.  Beau had to be the best hero that I’ve ever read in a really long time.  He wasn’t macho, he wasn’t alpha to the point of running over everyone with his alphaness – he was just dreamy Beau, and I loved that.  Sabrina had something traumatic happen to her, and she’s got all this stuff going on in her head, but she isn’t a whiny female that we see in books.  There were spots in the book that kind of slowed down for me, but to be honest – I needed to have all the details about the surroundings to know what they saw so I could see it too.  Usually, I just skip those parts, and I found that I was reading them instead, so that’s the test of a good book – if you can keep me engaged and in your story.  I loved that Epilogue and the playfulness between these two.  I can’t wait for The Bitterroot Inn and Maisy’s story.
***I voluntarily read an advanced readers copy of this book for my honest opinion***
