About Impulsive

Oakley captured my attention.

From the very first second.

The moment she sassed me, even though I was wearing my club cut, I knew she had fire in her soul.


As the tech man for the Houston Defiance MC, it’s my job to know everything. To always be ahead of the game. To outwit, outmatch, and outmaneuver our enemies at every turn. They may be smart, but I’m smarter.


Finding out this firecracker has ties to a rival MC catches me off guard.

And my first instinct is to protect her.

Damn the consequences.


Taking her under my wing is impulsive, reckless, electrifying.

And I’m more than aware of the repercussions.

But what if she is not who she says she is?


Those close to me loathe the idea of us, and they’re becoming more of an issue.

But things are not always as they seem.

With new threats comes chaos and danger at every turn.

But perhaps the war lies closer to home than even we realize.


From International Bestselling Author K E Osborn comes the highly anticipated fourth book in the Houston Defiance MC Series.



✯✯5 Neon & Oakley Filled Stars!!!✯✯


OMG KE Osborn has written another A+ masterpiece! Impulsive is the fourth book in The Houston Defiance MC and it’s as good as the previous book’s. If not better. 


I’ve wanted Asher “Neon“ Creed’s story since Explosive was released. Neon’s the club’s IT guy. If they need dirt on somebody, need info, hide thing’s, expose thing’s then Neon is the guy to go to. 


The last few years haven’t been easy for him. His sister Anna was going to marry Zero, Oh President of The Defiance MC. When she cheated on him the night before they’re wedding and it was called off everything changed. Neon was stuck between his baby sister Anna and his brother and club President Zero. 


When Neon meets Nicolette Oakley he was speechless. She sassed him, stole his hotdog and disappeared. Few years later he run’s into her again and he doesn’t plan on letting her run away so fast. 


One minute they talking and the next they’re confronted by a rival MC. When Neon realizes Oakley’s in some kind of trouble with them he swears to protect her. 


Oakley can’t believe she’s face to face with Neon after all this time. Oakley’s a motorcycle drag racer and has worked extremely hard being the only girl in her family racing and she did whatever she has to in order to keep her sponsorships. 


Oakley got in with a bad MC and wanted out. She did something shady to get out. She thought she had a fail safe, a way to get out and her and her family would be safe. She was wrong. They’re standing in front of her letting her know they found it and we’re coming for you. 


Neon swears him and his club will protect her and keep an eye on her dad. Oakley can tell right away Neon and his club brother’s are nothing like she’s used to. They make her feel safe and welcomed. 


The chemistry coming off Neon and Oakley is hot, seriously hot and combustible. They try staying away from each other but they can’t. And boy are these two hot!! 


Thing’s sure are not easy for them. When Neon’s sister Anna has to come stay at the club everyone’s on high alert. She make’s thing’s difficult for everyone ESP Neon. 


Neon’s stuck between his baby sister, his club and new relationship with Oakley. He’s trying to do right by everyone but it’s not working. 


Oakley’s wanting to get back to racing. It’s her life. She’s enjoying spending her time with Neon and the men and women from Defiance MC. Until she’s confronted with an ultimatum. One she never saw coming. She could loose her dad one way, Neon the other or worse. Lose them all. 


Neon and his brother’s thought they were finished with the Baron. When his widow Connie aka The Baroness show’s up with info she shouldn’t Neon knows there’s a mole in the club. 


Thing’s for Neon and Oakley go from smooth to rocky quickly. Everyone’s on high alert. They have to decide if they’re going to fight together or walk away. 


KE Osborn wrote this book beautifully. You never knew what or who was coming next. What was behind what just happened. 


My heart hurt’s for Neon. He’s got Oakley and his relationship with Zero is back to being great. His sister... I don’t think there’s any redemption in her and thing’s will need to happen that he’ll have no control over and even though deep down Neon knows it has to happen but it kills Asher Bc it’s his sister. 


This is a stand-alone but I’d recommend you read the previous book’s so you don’t miss anything. I’m SO ready for the next book!!!!

✯Release Review✯Holding You Close (Ex-Con Duet Series #4) by Kennedy Fox

Holding You Close

Noah & Katie duet #2

Ex-Con Duet Series

 

Holding You Close is now available on all retailers!

 

After serving a decade long prison sentence for an accident that resulted in my husband’s death, Noah Reid returns. Even if he was my childhood best friend and the first man I secretly loved, I refuse to make it easy for him. But the heart never forgets and those old repressed feelings quickly bubble to the surface. Loving him is a dangerous game but one I’m willing to play.  Flirting leads to falling between the sheets, and I’m forced to deal with the guilt of what we’re doing. Viciousness towards Noah runs rampant and while revenge trickles through the streets of Lawton Ridge, I realize there’s more on the line than just my heart. While I’m afraid that my son and I will be caught in the crossfire of those who want to hurt Noah, I can’t walk away.  Secrets are revealed and revelations are made, but losing him again isn’t an option—especially since I’m pregnant. 

HOLDING YOU AWAY is a slow burn, angsty friends to lovers romance with lots of small-town, Southern drama. It's book 2 in the Noah & Katie duet and must be read in order.


✯✯5 Noah & Katie Filled Stars!!!✯✯


     After finishing Pushing You Away I’d been dying to get the second book and finish Noah and Katie’s story. 


We pick up right where we left off with Noah being run off the road and in the hospital. Everybody’s still trying to figure out exactly what happened and who’s behind it and why. 


When they figure out who’s behind trying to kill Noah nobody’s really shocked but they wished they knew exactly why this person had vengeance in their eyes. Now they gotta find them Bc they went into hiding. Tyler called his friend Eric to come and keep an eye on Noah until the situation is resolved. 


Noah and Katie are also really giving their relationship a shot. They’ve been best friend’s forever but haven’t spoken for ten years and they’ve both changed. And, Noah’s trying to show Owen how much he really loves and cares for both him and Katie. 


This book & entire storyline was everything!!! Noah’s really the perfect man, boyfriend and father. Katie is one strong & amazing women and mom. Then there’s Owen. He stole my heart. When he confronted Noah about what happened with Gabe I legit held my breath. Owen’s such an understanding young man and saw things for what they truly were and handled it better then I’d hoped. And, the epilogue was perfect. 


I’m looking forward to Archer and Everleigh’s story. And seeing what happened when Archer showed up I hope he’s got patience. Bc, he’s gunna need it with Everleigh LOL.

✯Release Review w/Giveaway✯Concede (The Diamond Empire, #1) by Kathy Coopmans

Title: Concede
Series: The Diamond Empire
Author: Kathy Coopmans
Genre: Romantic Suspense, Organized Crime, Enemies to Lovers



A new series of standalone full-length novels from USA Today Bestselling Author Kathy Coopmans.

For years, I pretended to be something I’m not. Drowning the beast living inside of me in copious amounts of alcohol and women. Not that I complained.

And then Victoria Hughes walks back into my life, and took me by surprise.

The woman stunning me clear out of my mind the minute my mouth touched hers.

After tragedy strikes and knocks her off her feet, I expected her to come to me, yet she didn’t. She pretended we’re nothing. But I see her. I’ve watched her, and she’s fighting grief while battling an all-consuming need for vengeance.

If anyone understands that, it’s me.

Deep down, she knows the only way to ease the pain is to give in to me and let justice bleed from her enemy’s veins.
And she will. I’m the type of man to make sure of it.

But there’s a problem. We have no idea who the enemy is. All we know is they want to destroy The Diamond Empire.


✯✯5 Enforcer Filled Stars!!!✯✯
Kathy you’ve made me wait forever to get my hand’s on Seth Mitchell’s story and after finishing Concede I’m here telling you the wait was 100000% worth it!!!


Concede might be the first book in the The Diamond Empire but it’s not the first time you’re seeing a lot of the character’s. Victoria’s parent’s are Deirdre and Aiden Hughes from Kathy’s Syndicate Series. We meet Seth Mitchell from the very beginning of The Unbound Trilogy and again in Abrupt and those follow his brothers. 


I knew from reading Seth’s brother’s stories that I needed more from Seth but OMG I was so unprepared for him. By the end of the prologue after reading him and his niece Lexi’s goodbye that I was in serious trouble Bc I was a blubbering mess!!


Seth Mitchell is moving to New York City for two reason’s. He took a new position at the Diamond Empire run by Roan Diamond. Seth has become the Enforcer for the Empire. He’s taken over for Aiden Hughes. His real main reason for for going to New York is Victoria Hughes. 


Seth has known and loved Victoria his entire life. She think’s he’s the Devil and he’s here to show her how right they are for each other. 


It took them 20yrs to kiss and then some and Seth wants to smack himself for waiting that long LOL. Seth wants her to let him in. He also has a job to do for the Empire and right now they’re connected. 


There’s been an attack on the Empire and Victoria’s lost some of the closest people to her and they’ve got no leads on whose behind it. 


Seth’s job is to protect Victoria. He also want’s her to trust him to let him in. Seth want’s her to see they’re perfect together and to trust him 100%, to let him in on everything she’s feeling, thinking, scared of and wants her to desperately to accept him for every part of him. 


The more time Seth spend’s with Victoria the more he wants to give her. Seth want’s to take away Victoria’s pain.  He love’s her laugh and will do anything to make her laugh. Seth’s also close to finding out who’s behind the attack’s on the Empire but it doesn’t come fast enough. 


Victoria Hughes is the daughter of Aiden Hughes, enforcer of the Diamond Empire. While Victoria loves her parent’s, sister and two brother’s as well as her extended family. She’s not a fan of the mafia portion of it. Victoria wants no part of that side of the family business but she’s still very much a part of her family. 


When half of Victoria’s family is taken out in one night she’s devastated. She can’t believe she’ll never see them again. When Seth Mitchell show’s up she wants to scream. 


Victoria’s hated him her entire life. Or so she says to him but her insides keep telling her something else. She’s too busy dealing with her grief (so she thinks) then to deal with her real feeling’s for Seth. 


He lets her know he’s taken the job as Enforcer and part of his job is keeping her safe and he wants her.  Victoria doesn’t want him but her body is betraying her.  


Victoria can’t stay away from Seth no matter how hard she tries. He knows how to use her body to make it come undone. Victoria’s tried to play hardball but she can’t. 


Victoria’s seen how her aunt wanted nothing of the business then fell in love and became the Queen of the Empire when she gave into her feelings for Roan. 


Victoria’s realizing tomorrow’s not promised. There’s never as much time left as you’d think and hope for. She’s wasted a lifetime staying away from Seth Mitchell and she doesn’t wanna stay away from him anymore. 


Victoria’s learning to live with loving Seth and him doing his job for the Empire. They’ve promised each other he’d do his best to come home to her every night. Then there’s another attack and they’re both fighting to come home at the end of the day. 


Holy smokes!!!! Kathy Coopmans absolutely KILLED this story. 


Victoria was so strong.  She loved her family and Seth so much. Victoria learned how to be with Seth regardless of his job with the Empire. Victoria also learned to love the new person she was becoming. Victoria wanted vengeance. She wanted the people behind the attack taken care of. She also wanted whoever set up her brother Diesel taken care of and him outta jail. 


Seth Seth Seth. He owned my heart!! His relationship with his niece Lexi was beautiful.  Let’s face it Lexi OWNS all three of the Mitchell brother’s LOL but I dunno her and Seth brought me to tears MULTIPLE times. I also came to tears with Seth and Gabe, the man who took him and his brother’s in and became his father. The way Seth loved Victoria was beautiful!! You’d almost forget he was a killer with the way he was with her. With him going to rehab for his drinking but really quick I realized he didn’t need alcohol anymore Bc he had Victoria. 


After finishing this I’m DYING for Diesel’s story!!! I’m gunna be losing sleep till I get my greedy hands on it.

“Where the hell do you think you’re going? It’s snowing out there.” It’s a blizzard. Colder than a witch’s tit. Blowing snow and below zero temps. The only thing I’ll never get used to in this city.

Victoria’s body tenses, which I don’t like at all, still, she’s going to answer my question. She has no choice. I won’t let her walk out the door looking like that. Fuck what Theo thinks or says when he gets here.

“No shit, Sherlock, this is New York. We get snow, and sometimes several feet all in a matter of hours. Maybe you should move south of the border. As far away from me as you can get.”

“Cute. Not going anywhere, Victoria. Neither are you.” I grin. Nothing turns me on more than her sassy mouth. Except maybe when the time comes where she says my name. “Now, answer my question.”

Slamming her hands against the counter, she whirls on me, enough to stumble me back a step. Her lips set in a thin line. Pure fire behind her stare, and goddamn if it doesn’t make me want to plant her on the counter, kiss her in a way that reminds her who she belongs to.

Instead, because I’m sure she’d bite my tongue off, I lean forward, grab her hips again, our mouths only inches apart. Her lids flutter, lips parting, and making me want to devour her.

“I don’t have to answer you, now back the fuck off.” She gets a free pass on swearing this one time. She might be slowly conceding to the dark side, but her soul and spirit are too flawless for trash talk.

Unless I’m balls deep inside her.

✯Tour Review✯The Brightest Darkness: A Post-Apocalyptic Zombie Novel (Oklahoma Wastelands #2)by Kate L. Mary

Title: The Brightest Darkness
Author: Kate L Mary
Genre: Post-Apocalyptic/Zombie
Publisher: Twisted Press
Editor: Lori Whitwam
Publication Date: March 18th, 2019
Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR
Blurb:
There was something evil living in Andrew. I’d seen it in his eyes, reflecting back at me like a spotlight. It was the brightest darkness I’d ever seen, bright enough to snuff every one of us out…
Still reeling from loss, Kellan and Regan set out to rescue Harper from Andrew and his men. Only now they aren’t just fighting to free a teenage girl, they’re fighting to keep a promise to the man who saved them, knowing if they fail, Harper won’t be the only one at risk.
Joining forces with a new group means having help and making friends, but it also brings new conflict and the risk of losing everything they’ve worked to build over the last night years. With zombies banging at their door and the threat of danger around every corner, Regan and Kellan will have to fight to keep their world secure and their secret from getting out.


✯✯5 Unpredictable Stars!!!✯✯


Oh Kate, Kate, Kate L. Mary!!! What’re you doing to me?!?! She writes such badass characters that I’m hooked instantly when I start a book of hers. Let me just start by saying I’m not a zombie lover(def don’t watch TWD) and yet I’m hooked on this series. Not many authors can do that. 

We pick up where book one left off. Andrew has gotten Harper back and planning on turning her over because she’s immune. Regan and Kellan feel horrible about it so they make a plan to get her back. 

Afterwards they run into bad weather and sinkholes. They run into a familiar stranger named Bill. Bill takes them back to the airplane hanger he calls home. Regan and Kellan can’t believe how many people live there and the stories of how they got there. Regan and Kellan invite Bill and his group to comeback and stay with them in their compound.  

Once everybody is moved into the compound emotions and tension are running high. They have to stay indoors and only certain people can go outside Incase Andrew’s watching them. Bill’s number one guy Ernie doesn’t like how their group does things and def don’t like how Kellan tends to be in charge. He’s doing whatever he can to overthrow things. 

Kellan and Regan finally give into their true feelings for each other. They both learn how long they’ve been hiding their feelings for each other. These two have been in each other’s lives wayyyyy before the apocalypse hit. They can’t live without each other. It’s like they can’t breathe when the other one isn’t around and bc of that they didn’t want to say they were feeling more than friendship bc they were afraid they’d loose the other one. 

I’m not giving anything else away bc there’s SOOOO much more that’s going on. In this world it’s not only the zombies you have to be afraid of, it’s also the people who sleep next to you at night. There’s very few people Regan and Kellan can trust with their lives, secrets and everything else in between.  


After the way this book ended  I’m dying to get the next one. One of the many many reasons why Kate L. Mary is one of my favorite authors is bc she writes stories that are original, the characters are badass and they’re so unpredictable. Whenever I try to think what’ll happen or how it’s going to end... Boom!! She’ll take the book out of your hand and smack you upside your head. She’s THAT good!! So, hurry up with the next part of Regan And Kellan’s story.
