To Protect & Swerve
As one of the creators of the Youngbloods car club, Larisa has always loved speed, fun, and adventure. She’s a sensual woman who enjoys pleasure of all kinds – especially in the bedroom. Larisa will date and be intimate with just about any kind of man… except law enforcement officers. When she meets her next Dom at an underground club, she immediately becomes smitten by him and wants to make him hers. Things get a bit more complicated when she finds out what he does for a living. Forced to choose between one of the best drivers her club has ever seen and some of the best pleasure of her life or the trauma of her past and commitment to never date a cop, Larisa finds herself stuck between his rock and a very, very hard place. Will she choose the pleasure of her present or succumb to the pain of her past?

B. Love tried to warn me in her intro but, I didn't listen. I was NOT ready for the chemistry, and the sex, and the BDE, and the sex, and the romance, and the sex. Did I mention the sex?!!! Larisa was on the hunt for a new Dom and Felix wasn't it. She rolls into Kink and spots Apollo sitting at the bar but, he already has a sub. Larisa being Larisa, said "eff it" and shoots het shot anyway. She, of course, gets her way and begins a journey of sex and unexpected love. When Larisa and Apollo agreed to this partnership, catching feelings was not part of the plan. But, their attraction to each other was so intense and their chemistry was so genuine, it was pretty much inevitable that they wouldn't catch feelings. I really liked that, when they realized they were falling in love with each other, they didn't fight it. Larisa and Apollo just accepted their fate and let it happen. I'm not necessarily a fan of BDSM storylines but, I really enjoyed this one. The creativity was superb and I applaud the author for doing her research. B. Love knocked it out the park with To Protect & Swerve. I just might be willing to give BDSM a try but only if Apollo is my Dom.

I’m officially obsessed with B. Love.
At this point whenever she has something releasing, I never hesitate to stop what I’m doing to read it.
One thing I have come to expect with B. Love, is to expect the unexpected. When I read the synopsis of her books, they always get me excited. And while they are still true to the story, it still turns out to be something completely different than what I personally expected. And that’s a great thing! It just goes to show how creative and talented B really is.
To Protect & Swerve gave us a little glimpse into the BDSM community, and while I am fairly familiar with it (other BDSM related books) but was still able to learn something new and know that she actually took the time to research about the lifestyle. It’s common for authors to be lazy and write about shit they know nothing about, but I did not get that impression with this story.
I loved that Apollo and Larisa allowed themselves to fall in love, and not fight what they both knew was inevitable. Their chemistry was genuine, legitimate, and spicy. They were both able to cater to one another’s needs and it was just a bomb ass story overall.
I definitely recommend giving it a read. Amazing job as always B. Love 💕

Kiss Me Tease Me Touch Me Hold Me Pull My Hair Taste Me Every Time We Making Love
Larisa had a certain type of man that she desired and Felix cleary wasn't what she wanted but just one look at Apollo, Larisa knew she wanted him as her new Dom. Apollo and Larisa tried to resist falling in love with each other for two totally different reasons but they both failed at keeping feelings out of what they had going on. I like how Rome and eventually Weston accepted Apollo into their fold but never liked Felix at all. I enjoyed reading this story but it felt like it kind of ended abruptly. I would've loved to read about Apollo meeting Larisa's mom with how wide open they were with her about Kink. I thought Rome and Paris were going to end up being more than friends but they maintained brother/sister dynamics.

I didn't know what to expect but I definitely exceeded my expectations
This is the 2nd book I have read that featured BDSM and I learned so much about it. You only hear the stereotypes but this story gives you the real deal even it is in a fiction story. Larissa definitely chose wisely when it came to Apollo. At first, I thought he wouldn't give her a chance but I'm happy that he did. They both were able to overcome their fears of falling in love. I loved how Apollo proved himself through his actions and not just his words and that Larissa allowed him to do so. The sex scenes were definitely top line on the freak scale but who doesn't want to spice it up from time to time. I would recommend reading this at home though. This isn't one to read around too many people lol.

It’s the Creativity for Me...
LISTEN B.Love books are just different each and every time. So when it comes to authors that I love to read and know the book will be good from start to finish, I don’t like reading a summary of kind of what to expect from said book, I just start reading. Baby I wasn’t expecting this story AT ALL. I could understand why Larissa went to the Kink because in her personal everyday life she’s a boss and calls the shots so ending up with someone like Apollo was much needed. There was a lot of favorite moments in this book BUT I loved the moment of Larissa’s mom knowing about her BDSM lifestyle.

This book was the ish!!!
OMG! The Queen had me squeezing my thighs together from start to finish.
Bay-be Apollo had the perfect name cause that man had me, nvm😜. The chemistry, the sex and the sex, Lord have Mercy. Larisa was a woman after my own heart, I was glad she let Apollo in and welcomed love in. Glad he listened to his mom and stop letting the fear of dead keep him from finding and falling in love. The sex tho, beyond nasty and I loved every minute of it. This book checked all my boxes and I will most definitely be recommending this book.

Swerve into Love
Not what I was expecting from the synopsis, but that is what I LOVE about B. Love! You know that you will ALWAYS get an exceptional story, but it may just be different from your expectations. Apollo and Larissa brought the sweet heat and I truly enjoyed their journey. They both had issues from the past that needed work, that could eventually keep them apart. One-click and find out if they are able to protect and cultivate their relationship.

Swerving His Way to Love
Larissa felt the Boys In Blue could not be trusted. Once she meets Apollo she battles with herself if she should have a change of heart.
Apollo is a policeman that is involved with the community. They both have a love for fast cars and racing.
Their story is face paced and causes the reader to anxiously wonder if Apollo will be able to park himself in Larissa’s heart.

Dominate me
Dang this book is exactly how B Love warned in the beginning. Apollo is book bae number 1. Nothing is better than a man, a sexy man in a uniform that knows how to control but also love. His words, care and love for Larisa was amazing. I need to find a Kink where I live once covid ends. Great job once again by an amazing author.

Baby, let me tell you something. That B. Love is something else with her creative self. How she combined the elements of love, sex, cars and twelve was fascinating. It was sexy! Listen, she has me wanting to try something new. I love the ending. Submission is a powerful thing when given to the right person. Y'all, just get the book before I spoil it!

Amazing Read
Apollo Larisa both had past demons that were causing them from wanting love but ended up letting go of them because of how close they became with one another. Once again B, you captured my attention from beginning to end with your words. This is definitely a page turner that I suggest everyone read!

Swerving!
Loved this book, dont let the mention of BDSM make you miss this jewel, it is very light, Larisa would have been a terrible sub if it was heavyLOL! Now I need the info on Rome, he got a story somewhere. Loved Larisa and Apollo their chemistry from the start was off the chart. Another winner.

Steamy
Larisa not being fond of the police because of past experiences finds herself smitten with Apollo who is an officer of the law. Apollo doesn't want to get with her but something is drawing them towards one another. A little bdsm mixed in with drama is good for a quick short read.

Give love a chance.
An another one in my DJ Khalid voice lol. I absolutely loved this book. I was hesitant when it said BDSM but I thought she never disappoints in her books and I’m glad I took a chance. Loved the fact that she owned a car shop. I loved the progression of their relationship and how expressive they were with each other.

No rules to love
This was a really good read. The creativity in the storyline was superb 👏👏. I was hesitant at first but who knew BDSM could be this interesting. Apollo & Larisa's relationship was far from average. They both knew what they wanted and wasn't afraid to achieve it by any means..

Well written
Reading about cops as a love interest is not really my cup of tea. She writes so well that I decided to give it a try. The love scenes were steamy and I am glad I gave this book a chance!

This was an awesome read. Love the couple and how they got to know each other. Refreshing to read a book that was not about kingpins and women in distress. Although i love those books to this was a good change.

Yessss
This was a good book. Once again you can write anything and make it fire. Apollo was a true alpha male and was just what Larisa needed. They are the perfect balance and make a hot couple. Won’t give anything away but this is a must read.

Beyond what I expected
B.Love has done it again. This one took me for a ride I was not expecting. Everything was perfect across the board. The vivid imagery of bdsm was mind blowing!

I loved this book from beginning to end. I need a part two of their love story, who doesn’t love a Alpha Male.
