Title: Perceive
Series: Vindicated #4
Authors: Addison Jane & K E Osborn
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: October 4, 2021


BLURB

Trust, loyalty, respect—that was what Malice MC stood for. The club was my family, a group of hard men who believed in brotherhood above everything else.
I found my best friend there.
Fell in love there.
And it was there I lost everything.
I gave it all up to find her, stared death in the face more times than I could count, for even just the slightest chance she was still out there. Finding her consumed me, and after six long years, she was finally back within my reach.
I thought getting her back meant feeling whole again, but I was wrong. The beautiful, fierce young woman I knew was gone.
I wasn’t the kid she grew up with anymore.
I wasn’t her first kiss.
Now, I was the enemy.


✯✯5 Axel & Kenzie Filled Stars!!!✯✯ 


OMG I’ve legit been waiting for this book since 2018!!!! I have not been shy about it. I feel like I been harassing Addison Jane & K. E. Osborn when they were releasing another one since I finished Revive. I’m here to say the wait was SOOOOOO worth it. 


Axel is in The Agency and part of team S07. Before he joined The Agency he was known as Riot in the Malice MC. When his childhood best friend Mackenzie aka Kenzie was taken six years ago he joined The Agency in hopes of finding her. It’s been six years since he’s seen her and they’ve finally found her but she has no idea who he or the Malice MC are. 


Four years ago Mackenzie woke up from a terrible accident and had no idea who or where she was. Rix found and saved her. Even though she doesn’t feel 100% sure or safe with Rix, he’s all she knows so she stays. Until Axel show’s up and she feels thing’s that she’s never felt in the four years with Rix. 


Axel call’s her Kenzie and she gets all warm inside. Even though he took her from Rix and has her locked in a small white room. He looks at her like she’s everything to him and Kenzie wishes she could remember what he remembers. 


Kenzie can tell quickly that Axel and his team are different than Rix and his team. She’s quickly realizing she’s been missing for six not four years and that she’s trusted the wrong person and that it could end up hurting or killing a lot of people. Kenzie decides to start trusting and helping Axel and the S07 takedown Rix once and for all. 


The more time Kenzie spends with Axel is more of her memories from their past comeback little by little. 


These two grow closer and closer together everyday. Axel and his team also get closer to figuring out what Rix’s next move is thanks to help from Kenzie. 


Just as they think they’ve gotten a plan to end Rix, things go sideways. They realize that they have a mole in The Agency and they’re all in danger. 


Axel lost Kenzie once and he can’t loose her again. He treats his S07 team. They’ve become his family. He knows with a trader in The Agency he needs to get help from his other family. The Malice MC, who are also Kenzie’s family are here to help Axel, The Agency and S07 takedown Rix, the traitor and save Kenzie. While also trying to stay alive. 


You gotta read this! Since I haven’t seen these guysguy’s since 2018 I went back and read my first three review’s to refresh my memory and when I started reading it everything came back. 


I’m now so excited to get Noah and Molly’s story Bc OMG. Talk about explosion!!! I’m keeping my fingers crossed I have them in my hands ASAP!!

EXCERPT

Six years ago, I lost her.
Kenzi was a part of my club, The Malice MC, where we both grew up together. We formed a bond so tight I thought nothing could tear us apart, until she vanished into thin air one day without a trace.
I was a brother, a valued member of the MC, but I had to find her. It was my mission moving forward. So, I joined an elite team, a section of the government so deeply hidden that even the highest officials don’t know of its existence.
I joined The Agency to find her.
My team, the SO7, did just that.
We failed the first time I tried to rescue her.
When I laid eyes on her, I was so fucking shocked, I let her walk with the asshole who took her from me. Ever since we left the desert to regroup, I can’t get my head straight.

✯Release Review✯Keeping You Away (Ex-Con Duet Series #1)(Tyler & Gemma #1) by Kennedy Fox






I never planned on returning to Alabama, but circumstances brought me here after years of being gone. Though Lawton Ridge is my hometown, I was hesitant to go back because of her —my sister’s best friend. The last time we were together, she was eighteen, and I was a broken soldier transitioning to civilian life.

Gemma wrote to me while I was overseas and we developed a bond I hadn’t anticipated. I crushed her heart the day I left, something I’ve never forgotten. But now that her dad is my new boss, life just got way more complicated.

Too sweet, too innocent, too good for a guy like me—I should walk away again.

After serving five years in prison for something I didn’t do, I trust no one, but Gemma gradually breaks down my walls and exposes the pain I’ve hidden underneath. For her own sake, I should keep my distance, but it’s nearly impossible when I hear her sweet humming while I work and she slowly draws me back in. It’s a battle I didn’t train for, and one I’ll lose if I don’t keep my restraint—especially since she’s engaged to another man.

Keeping You Away is a slow-burn, angsty romance wrapped up in an intense love story. It’s book 1 in the Tyler & Gemma duet & must be read first.


✯✯5 Tyler & Gemma Filled Stars!!!✯✯

I’ve loved EVERY book Kennedy Fox has released.  One of my FAVORITE characters in The Roommate Duet  Series was Tyler!! When I read what was all done with him I was crying. He didn’t deserve what was done to him and I was praying he’d get his own book and here we are. 


Things haven’t been easy for Tyler. His childhood wasn’t the best and he joined the military straight after high school. During his 4yrs in the military he spent writing back and forth with Gemma, his younger sister Everleigh’s best friend. 


Tyler fell in love with Gemma while writing letters back and forth. When he came home he fell harder. 


Tyler was Gemma’s first and they spent the summer together but he knew he had to get outta Alabama and begged for her to come but she wouldn’t but he left anyway. 


Tyler has been gone for twelve years and has never once been back and never planned on it. But, five years ago Tyler made a decision to help his best friend Liam with he got mixed up with the O’Leary mob. It ended up costing him the last five years in prison but he’d do it again to help Liam and save Maddie’s life. 


Tyler is back in Alabama living with his sister and starting his new job. Working for Gemma’s dad. Who also works for her dad. She’s also engaged and looks different and isn’t happy he’s back. Tyler’s starting to think he made the wrong decision coming back. 


Gemma has loved Tyler for her entire life. She was shocked he wrote her back the first time but loved writing him back and forth for those four years. They enjoyed their summer together and Gemma was devastated when he left. 


Gemma waited years for him to comeback. She went on dates here and there but nothing panned out. Then few years ago she gave up hope Tyler would ever return. 


Gemma felt terrible when he went to prison. When she heard what he was charged with she knew that wasn’t Tyler. He’d never mess with guns or drugs. 


Gemma started dating Robert and they got engaged after six months but have been engaged awhile. He’s been pushing her to move in with him and to set a date. He’s hoping she’ll move up her timeline and marry him within a few months from now. 


Gemma was questioning marrying Robert. The last thing she was expecting or needing was Tyler coming back and working with her everyday. 


Tyler’s not the same guy he was when he left. She sees a hardness and sadness in his eyes that weren’t there when he left. What is still there is their connection. It’s still sizzling hot. 


Gemma’s starting to see a different side to Robert as well. He’s becoming pushier on them moving in and getting married now rather then later. They hardly spend time together unless she’s having to dress to impress his work clients. He’s also become super jealous and possessive of her and he isn’t liking her working with Tyler. She can never tell him he’s anything more then Everleigh’s older brother. 



Gemma is getting more and more unsure about marrying Robert. It’s obvious she still has feelings for Tyler. Even without seeing him for twelve years he makes her feels things Robert never has. Not even in the beginning. But, it’s what Robert’s been hiding that has her over it. 


In my book Tyler never needs redemption. He’s the best guy ever!! What he needs is a HEA. In order to get that he needs to finish a big part of him. The one thing he can’t get past. 


I’m dying for the last part of this duet to release. I called exactly who Gemma was going to meet and I’m not surprised. I’m going to continue rooting for Tyler & Gemma. 


I’m also excited Katie and Everleigh are going to get their HEA but these three friends remind me of Maddie & her two sisters.

✯Review✯Cheat(Right Men Series #3)by Mayra Statham






Title: Cheat
Series: Right Men Series #3
Author: Mayra Statham
Genre: Contemporary Military Romance
Release Date: October 25, 2018



Blurb

Never cheat. But if you must, cheat death.

Veteran Army Medic Garrett Wright narrowly escaped death more than once. Through the horrors of war, he witnessed the darkness and ugliness of humanity, and let it consume him from the inside out.

Stefanie Banks knows all too well how dark and ugly the world can be. She lives her life determined to make every moment better than the last.

In a dive bar in the middle of nowhere, Stefanie and Garrett’s worlds collide. Sunshine and darkness face off, and sparks fly.

Can a war-torn soul and one who never felt loved trust one another enough to cheat the curveballs life throws at them and hold on to love enough to make it last the distance?

**CHEAT does not have any cheating of any kind and can be read as a standalone.**

✯✯5 Garrett Filled Stars!!!✯✯ 



Finally!!! Ever since I read Lie I’ve wanted to get my greedy hands on Garrett. No lie I’ve stalked Mayra and every time she announces her next release and it wasn’t Garrett I died a little lol. I can’t help it I’m obsessed with Garrett and his brothers. Damn these Wright Brothers. 

Garrett might be home in one piece from the military. But, the military followed him home and he’s lost pieces of himself. He’s not the man, brother, son or grandson he was when he left. Garrett has seen guys he looks at as his brothers die in his arms. He’s got survivors guilt. 

Garrett has verbally attacked his family and his brothers girlfriend. Garrett goes into a little dive bar and he’s at the bottom of his barrel. When he gets into it with a few punks he lets them attack him. No joke he doesn’t fight back. Garrett wants his battle to finally end. Except a light finally shows up into his life for the first time in awhile. 

Stefanie isn’t going to let this guy get beat up to a pulp. She doesn’t know anything about him but she knows anybody who doesn’t fight back while getting beat up by multiple guys he’s gotta be fighting some pretty bad demons. 

Stefanie promises her boss/father figure Kip she’ll drop the guy off at the ER. Except his begs her not too and instead brings him back to her apartment. Stefanie helps him until he sneaks out of her apartment. She thought that was the last time she’d ever the beautiful man. Until he shows back up letting her know he couldn’t get her out of his mind. 

Garrett isn’t the only one with demons. Stefanie didn’t have an easy childhood. Luckily she found Kip whose the closest to a father she’s had and Bash who has taken on the role of her brother. 

Stefanie just wants to be loved. She’s tired of the people in her life leaving her. Stef wants to be somebody’s #1. 

Things aren’t easy for Stefanie and Garrett. But, these two beautiful people are fighters and they never give up until they get what they want. 

I was so glad to see the rest of the Wright family. ESP Garrett’s grandma!!! She’s been a favorite of mine since reading Lie.  But, I ESP love the relationship she has with Garrett. It reminded me of my nane and how she was always there to give me advice and an ass whooping and it didn’t matter if I asked for it. That was the Wright Brothers grandma and I truly loved her for it. 

I’ve wanted to get inside Donnie’s mind for awhile now. He might seem stuck up and snooty but he’s got a wild kinky side to him. And, in Lie he had eyes for Grace’s sister. They’re next and I can’t wait!!!!!

I'm also hoping for a book for Bash. He's intense and I want more of him and learn why he's the way he is.

✯Release Review✯Thrive(Guardian Protection Series #2)by Aly Martinez

Synopsis 

When I was nineteen years old, I was faced with a choice that changed my life.
Keep the safety of what I already knew or risk losing everything with the young, hotheaded soldier who stole my heart.

I chose the wrong man, and for seventeen years, I paid in tears, blood, and shattered dreams for that decision.

Now, there’s a man in my house, holding a gun to my head on the order of my ex-husband—given from his prison cell. 

That hotheaded soldier I was too afraid to choose? He’s now a six-foot-three wall of muscle who works at the country’s most premier bodyguard agency. I’ve always wanted him, but now, I’ve never needed him more.

It’s the call I’m terrified to make. 
I’m sure he still hates me… Even though I’ve never stopped loving him.


✯✯5 Thriving Stars!!!✯✯

Aly Martinez continues to prove over and over again why she’s on my auto buy list. Every book makes me forget about everything. I’ve been waiting for more of these guardians and the wait was totally totally worth it!

Jeremy Lark was totally completely madly in love with Mira York. They spent their nights in the back of his pickup wrapped in each other and talking. They told each other everything. All their hopes and dreams wants and desires. Everything was perfect. Except that Jeremy’s best friend Kurt was Mira boyfriend. He was a poor excuse for a boyfriend and friend. When Kurt found out about them, he set up Jeremy and got him kicked out of the Army. When he leaves he begs Mira to come with him and instead she chose Kurt. 

Jeremy ends up getting a job at the Guardian Protection Agency and it made him feel whole again. He did get married and had beautiful twin daughters. But, his heart belonged to Mira and he eventually got divorced. He has a civil divorce. Him and his ex do what’s best for their children. Jeremy hasn’t seen/heard from Mira or Kurt in seventeen years. Then, he gets a call and it’s her on the other line and she’s begging for help. It’s a matter of life or death. 

The minute Jeremy left in his truck Mira knew she made the wrong choice. But, she stayed anyway. Mira just went along with Kurt. But, when things turned back and he ended up in prison she knew it was her turn. She’s been on her own and divorced for three years and things are finally starting to look up.  Until Kurt’s ex-business partners show up at her apartment. They want what Kurt took from them and they’ll take her best friend and dog and leave the scary guy with a gun until they get it. Mira does the only thing she can think of. Call the one person she knows that’ll help her. The only person whose ever owned her heart. Jeremy Lark. 

Holy moly!!! This was an awesome book. Talk about a second chance romance. These two were so in love and so perfect for each other that they were half living without the other one. Together they’re fierce and strong. Jeremy is an alpha male all around. But, when he’s talking about or to his daughters omg he’ll melt your heart and wet your panties. Mira I wanted to hate for not choosing Jeremy first. But, we’ve all made dumb decisions and regretted it and then fixed it. She did that and more. I can’t wait for the next Guardian in this series.
