✯Release Review✯ Tempting the Cowboy(Circle B Ranch, #8) by Kennedy Fox

Tempting the Cowboy

Circle B Ranch, #8

         

Tempting the Cowboy is now available on all retailers!

Kane Bishop’s content with living and working on the ranch, but something is missing—a family of his own. After his twin brother married the woman he once loved, Kane has moved on and is now focusing on new things. When his best friend’s little sister re-enters his life, the attraction is undeniable, but the timing is all wrong. He should keep his distance and not tempt fate, but he can’t get her out of his head. Ivy’s had a secret crush on Kane for as long as she can remember. Although she’s an introverted bookworm who hasn’t dated much, she’s ready to go after him. He might be a six-foot-three, inked, muscular god who’s out of her league, but she wants him to be her first and only. She’ll risk it all to get his attention, but it won’t be easy since he’s off-limits. Giving in to temptation doesn’t come without consequences—it’ll either bring them together or tear them apart. **Tempting the Cowboy is a complete stand-alone and can be read without reading any of the other books or spin-off series, but if you prefer to read in order, start with Hitching the Cowboy as the characters and families do interconnect.**    


✯✯5 Kane & Ivy Filled Stars!!!✯✯


Ever since I finished Knox and Haleigh’s book I was dying to get Kane’s Bc he totally deserved a HEA after loosing the girl, his best friend Haleigh to his twin brother. I was hoping whoever it was he fell for deserved him and boom. In walks Haleigh’s younger sister, Ivy who just happens to have had a crush on Kane Bishop her entire life but he only had eyes on her sister. But, since they’re sharing a nephew Ivy’s going to make Kane see her for more than his best friend’s younger sister. 


This relationship started off slow Bc they haven’t seen each other in year’s since Ivy’s been off at college. But, now that she’s back and Kane’s eyes are open he sees Ivy for the beautiful women she is. Unfortunately, Kane has a girlfriend but it doesn’t last long and he’s been getting the vibes that Ivy’s been putting out and he’s all for it. 


Ivy’s young and the only boyfriend she’s ever had has been in the books she’s read. Kane knows and respects it and respects how fast or slow they go. He’ll let her be in control of the speed. Ivy has wanted Kane all her life so she’s enjoying the time they’re spending together but for the moment they decide to keep the news about them being a them to each other for a bit   longer until they know exactly what it is they are. 


OMG I absolutely loved seeing these two go from somewhat friends to being full blown in love. I thought Knox was freaky. But, Kane has him beat and I think Miss Quiet Ivy had them both beat LOL. 


Grandma Bishop is still my favorite scene stealer in EVERY Bishop book I read and her costume is probably my favorite so far LOL. 


I’m looking forward to Knox and Kane’s sisters book but sad Bc it’s the end of the Bishop’s. I do wish Kennedy Fox would write one more and make it a prequel to the 2-Bishop series we have and give us Grandma & Grandpa Bishop’s love story.

✯Release Review✯Explosive (The Houston Defiance MC Series #1) by K.E. Osborn

Title: Explosive
Series: The Houston Defiance MC Series #1
Author: KE Osborn
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: August 24, 2020
Cover Design: Designs by Dana Cover Model: Kevin Creekman
I couldn’t walk away.
It’s not who I am.
The moment I saw Rayne broken and bloodied, I knew I wasn’t leaving without her.
As the president of the Houston Defiance MC, my job is to protect. And there’s no taming the rage building inside my body, screaming at me to shield her from the husband who’s beating her day in and day out.
Taking her was never in my plans, but plans change.
I don’t care if she’s married.
Or that her husband’s a cop.
Our connection is explosive, it’s dangerous, it’s intoxicating.
And I’m fast being swept up in her storm.
It’s something I can’t ignore.
I thought the enemy was clear, and I was ready to fight.
But maybe there’s a threat we didn’t see coming?
Maybe there’s someone closer to us than we ever could have imagined.
Someone who could be the destruction of us both. 


✯✯5 Zero & Cherry Bomb Filled Stars!!!✯✯ 

OMG what a way to start a spin-off series to one of my favorite series. Chicago a Defiance MC Series had me hooked, line and sinker since the very first cover reveal. It’s legit in my top 3 favorite series covers. Plus, from reading that series we’ve been introduced to Zero and his guys a bunch of times and Zero definitely had my attention from the beginning. 


We start off with Zero the VP of the Houston Defiance with his dad the President. Zero will takeover after his dad has groomed him and showed him all the ways to be a good President. 


Zero learns that time isn’t on his side. The club is at a stand still with the militia. They’re trying to come to a truce that both sides will accept. Then, the militia barrels into the clubhouse and they’re not looking to talk. 


The militia showed up with a mission. Zero watched his parents die right in front of his eyes. Zero took out the guy who ended his parents, the guy in charge of the militia. 


Change is coming for Houston Defiance. Zero will do whatever he has too to make his dad proud.  Minutes later Zero’s life gets another zap. His sister Prinie grabs their younger brother Koda and runs away from Zero and the Defiance MC. 


Rayne’s life isn’t all that she wants. She’s in a loveless marriage to a guy her parents chose and he uses his hands on her everyday. Her father made her go to school to become a pharmacist. Rayne absolutely loves being a pharmacist. 


One night Rayne‘s husband got mad at her while they were out to eat and he takes her out to the back ally and beats the life outta her and leaves her there.  He’s a cop so she can’t call anybody to help. 


When her Uber driver pulls up and finds her beaten pretty bad she offers to help her. Meeting the Uber driver, Prinie ended up saving Rayne. They’ve become best friends and Rayne’s not sure what she’ll ever do without Prinie. 


It’s been a year since Zero lost both his parents and siblings. Zero has done a lot to make things safe enough that his sister will feel safe enough to comeback with their brother. He’s had eyes on them the whole time. It helps that they ran away to Chicago and are actually living in the Chicago Defiance clubhouse. 


Zero and his brothers get there just in time as Chicago needs them as their clubhouse is being ambushed. If you read that series you’ll remember that scene playing out lol. 


Zero convinced Prinie and Koda to comeback to Houston with him. But, Prinie insists on saying goodbye to her best friend. 


Zero was unprepared for what was going to happen when they showed up at Rayne’s house. 


Zero walks into Rayne’s house and she’s beaten to a pulp. Seeing Rayne’s house destroyed from her being thrown around and one look in her eyes and Zero knows he can’t leave Rayne at that house with that husband of hers. 


Zero and Rayne are extremely attracted to each other. Like they never have been before. Zero has such deep beliefs that bc she technically is married and from what she just lived through he wants to stay away. Rayne hates her husband. There’s no love lost. Zero makes her feel things she’s never felt before and just wants him to make a move and not hide. 


Zero wants to give Rayne everything even if he can’t give her him. With Rayne being a pharmacist and Chills being there and a Dr. Zero opens a pharmacy for Rayne to operate and it having a walk-in clinic that Chills will run. 


When Prinie goes and gets mad she crosses a line that nobody in the Houston Defiance should cross and it could cost everybody in Defiance with their lives. 


There is one thing the militia want that will make things even. But, Zero will need Rayne to cross a line. Use her chemistry and pharmacist skills in order for everybody to come out alive. Zero doesn’t know what Rayne will do since she was married to a cop. Rayne does care for the club and ESP about Prinie and Zero and she’ll do anything to help them. 


Zero knows he cares about Rayne more then he has about anybody. They know until they figure out what to do about her husband they’ll have to be careful to keep her safe and the MC off the radar of the cops. 


Zero and his brothers thought they knew who their allies were and who their enemies were. Then they see the side of somebody they thought they knew and their socks are knocked off. In order for Zero to make sure his brothers, siblings, the club and Rayne are all safe, secure and alive he’s gunna make a phone call he never thought he’d make. Zero’s hoping and praying he’s making the right decision for everybody he cares about. 


OMG this book is everything!!! I100% forgot Chains, Chills, baby Kobe, Luc and Ruby went to Houston but I’m loving seeing them and their story continue. 


Zero is even more then I’d imagined and trust me I imagined all about him lol. Rayne is the perfect match for my man Zero!!


I’m dying for a Prinie and Wraith’s story bc lemme tell y’all. These two have intense chemistry. Some frustrated chemistry that they need to bang out. I just hope they get it before Zero tears Wraith apart limb by limb lol. 


I start moving toward the exit. My chest heats so fucking much it’s like I’m on fire. I don’t know what the hell’s happening right now, but having Rayne in my arms, knowing while I’m holding her, and no fucking person in the world can touch her, it has my body flaming in adrenaline.
This woman is bad news.
Real bad fucking news.
Her eyes linger on me as I walk with her from the bedroom, down the hall, and outside to the waiting van. Having her right up against me like this is not doing my cock any favors. She smells like peaches and fucking sunsets.
How the fuck can someone smell like a sunset? It’s like I’m going out of my damn mind right now.
She’s invading my senses as I help her inside the van, placing her in the rear seat.
“I don’t understand why you’re helping me?” Her eyes lock onto mine.
My protector mode rears its head yet again as I lean over her grabbing at the seat belt to pull over her. Our faces come in line with each other.
Rayne scrunches up her face, reaching for the seat belt. “I can put on my own seat belt.”
I jerk my head back as she removes it from my grip while trying to gain control of the situation. I pull it back from her and click it into position. “I’m sure you can, but I need to ensure you’re taken care of. Can’t get you out of this situation and have you injured on the way into the club because you’re not buckled in properly.”
Her eyes widen. “There are so many things wrong with what you just said. One, you think I’m incapable of something as simple as doing up a seat belt. And two, you believe your driving is so bad I’m going to be injured on the way to wherever it is you’re taking me?”
“That’s not what I meant—”
“Then you need to think about how you word shit, ‘cause you’re coming across as an arrogant ass.”
I glare at her smug, insolent, beautiful face. “You have an attitude problem, cherry bomb.”
She snorts. “And you think you can control me because I get beaten up by my husband? He might walk all over me, but you…” she tilts her head smugly, “… not so much.”
Hmm. She has a feisty side.
I lean in closer. Her eyes widen, and her breathing hitches. She’s affected. “I like your fighting spirit, Rayne. You are a wild one.”
She leans in closer, we’re only an inch apart, the smell of peach surrounds me. It takes every ounce of strength I have not to rush forward pressing my lips to hers. My eyes stare into her incandescent emerald green eyes, they’re so alive, so alight with fire. She has so much fight in her. As she licks her bottom lip, my cock twitches when she whispers, “You ain’t seen nothing yet.”
A low hum vibrates from my chest as I exhale, backing away from Rayne slowly.
She’s trouble with a capital ‘I’m screwed.’

✯Release Review✯Needing You Close (Ex-Con Duet Series #2) by Kennedy Fox


Needing You Close
Tyler & Gemma #2
Release Date: August 13


I never expected to see my first love again after he left me twelve years ago. Though I’ve moved on, working with Tyler is no easy task—especially when he focuses his bedroom eyes on me. Flirting with the past is like playing with fire, and considering I’m engaged, I’m bound to get burned.

When the man I promised to marry reveals he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing, I run to the safety of Tyler’s strong arms. As we grow closer, so do our feelings. Threats and ultimatums are made, and the revelation of the truth is enough to bring me to my knees. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect my family, even if it means shredding my heart.

Too dangerous, too unpredictable, too risky to handle alone—we need each other now more than ever.

After our world nearly collapses, there’s nothing left to do but take it back. Tyler and I team up to destroy the people who are determined to ruin our second chance at a happily ever after. Though our love is undeniable, I just hope it’s enough. We’ll fight until the end to be together—regardless of who tries to get in our way.

NEEDING YOU CLOSE is a slow-burn, angsty romance wrapped up in an intense love story. It's book 2 in the Tyler & Gemma duet and must be read in order.


✯✯5 Tyler Blackwood Filled Stars!!!✯✯


OMG I almost threw my kindle against the wall when I finished Keeping You Away when Gemma was introduced to Robert’s client and it was the beautiful evil monster Victoria. Luckily I sleep alone bc I drop a few massive F-bombs lol. I was immediately worried for Gemma and Tyler bc they didn’t just have Robert’s dangerous self but now Victoria had showed up. Man, I felt defeated. 


Needing You Close picked up exactly where we left off. Tyler’s in Vegas helping Eric hoping to end Victoria once and for all. Gemma just finished dinner with Robert’s client and she’s regretting agreeing she’d stay the night. After finding the proof he was the one who had her and Tyler followed and Gemma is fuming. 


Things from this point on will never be the same Gemma and Tyler and those closest to them. 


Gemma and Robert have a huge blowup and with the help of Everleigh she gets outta there with Robert telling her no matter what she says they aren’t over. Gemma knows he means it too. 


Tyler can tell instantly something’s wrong with Gemma when he walks into work and agrees to wait until after work to talk about what’s going on. 


While Tyler’s beyond happy Gemma broke-up with Robert he believes in them too much to jump right in. Tyler wants to be there for Gemma as a friend for whatever she needs. Until she’s ready to truly move on and then it’s game on. 


Tyler and Gemma finally decide to take the next step past their friendship and it feels as good as they remembered if not better. But, before these two get their HEA the wolves have come out of their dens and they’re looking for one ugly, nasty fight. 


Tyler was all ready and willing to fight and knowing the amazing man he already is would go back to jail to protect Gemma from what was coming. But, Gemma wouldn’t let him. She knew she’d figure out a way for things to go their way. 


I am not gunna lie and say I had faith Tyler and Gemma were getting their HEA that they rightfully deserved. 


But, Kennedy Fox proved me wrong. When I tell you these two along with Gemma and Tyler 100% shocked me, Gemma’s dad, Katie and Everleigh. The shock was definitely a good one bc I was hysterically laughing right along with them when they showed their winning hand of cards lol. 


Tyler has been one of my favorite side characters for such a long time, more so then any other ones ESP since he took such a big sacrifice going undercover and then going to jail. He could’ve sat back and let Liam figure it out but nope. Tyler is a real true friend!! And, he’s an even better boyfriend. I need to him me Tyler Blackwood!! 


Gemma was another one I really liked. She annoyed me a bit in the first part but she truly grew on me this second half of the duet. 


One thing that bothered me was Victoria. While I’m happy with the end result..... I’m not happy with how it happened. She is such a vile, nasty, evil person that I wanted her to truly truly suffer and suffer miserably after the chaos and destruction she caused for so long. In my opinion she got off way TOO easy. 


I’m very sad this duet is over. But, I am looking forward to Noah and Katie getting their HEA bc from what we’ve seen of Noah there’s so much more of their story that hasn’t been said yet and man am I all ready for it. 


I am hoping and praying that if not in Noah and Katie’s duet then it better be in Everleigh’s duet I’m going to NEED Liam and Maddie to come visit Tyler like they promised. Bc, I am dying for Maddie to join in on these three girls night!!!
