Seventeen-year-old Violet has always been expected to sit back and let the boys do all the saving.

It’s the code her father, a member of the Reign of Terror motorcycle club, raised her to live by. Yet when her dad is killed carrying out Terror business, Violet knows it’s up to her to do the saving. To protect herself, and her vulnerable younger brother, she needs to cut all ties with the club—including Chevy, the boy she’s known and loved her whole life.

But when a rival club comes after Violet, exposing old secrets and making new threats, she’s forced to question what she thought she knew about her father, the Reign of Terror, and what she thinks she wants. Which means re-evaluating everything: love, family, friends . . . and forgiveness.

Caught in the crosshairs between loyalty and freedom, Violet must decide whether old friends can be trusted—and if she’s strong enough to be the one person to save them all.

"An intoxicating and unforgettable story that kept me glued to the page."

REVIEW: ICE by Hilary Storm and Cathy Coopmans

ICE by Hilary Storm and Cathy Coopmans
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book Description: 

Warning- This book contains explicit language and graphic sexual content.

Captain Jade Elliott of the United States Army spent her entire career working her ass off to get to this point and she couldn't be more proud. She's gained notoriety through her actions as well as the respect of her team. She's one of the first women to graduate as a Ranger and has been called to serve on a secret mission. So why is she about to do something that could throw that all away?

Kaleb Maverick has been called to act as Commander for a vital mission and has done his research. He knows his team very well, in fact he hand selected them. He's retired, but still very active in the private sector, leading his personal team to countless successful missions. Now he's going back for one last mission. 

What happens when his mission is to get the girl? What if she's not ready to be captured? Their chemistry is explosive and the heat is intense, but can Maverick come back with his head held high or will she be the first mission he fails?

CAE 2016!!!!! WITH GIVEAWAY!!!!

Another year, another book signing in Cleveland!!!! 

OMG. The day was AWESOME!!!!!!!!! 

Ok, it wasn't just the day, it was the whole weekend. It started the day before, when I checked into the hotel. This year, I was staying at the same hotel so I got to see a bunch of authors as they were checking in and going to dinner and just plain hanging out in the lobby. 

Now, if I were Nikki, I'd be telling you that I harassed stalked approached them to share how much I loved them while they were otherwise engaged with hotel/dinner matters...but I didn't. And yes, I got yelled at by the slave driver Nikki for not "stalking up to her standards" (yes, that's a direct quote). But I can't help it! It just didn't feel right to ambush authors when they were checking in! 

So, fast froward to the actual signing and IT WAS AMAZING!!!! I didn't know which way to go first! I wanted to see everything and talk to everyone! But, I had to be methodical. I had a list of people I wanted to see, a list of authors Nikki demanded I see and a list of people Jenn wanted me to see. So, I tried to work my way through it table by table.  

While I loved meeting all of the authors, there were a few that stood out among the rest... 

Harper Sloan

I finally got to meet Harper Sloan. Nikki and I have known her since our pre-blog/pre-author days back when all of us were just reviewing on Goodreads. She didn't remember me, but I didn't really expect her to since she's got like a billion fans and she's a mega-star now. 

Tessa Bailey

Tessa Bailey is always a fun author to chat with! Especially when Nikki makes reading Tessa's books difficult because she's claimed all the book boyfriends for herself. Where's the fun reading if you have no hope of collecting a book boyfriend or two? ;) 

BT Urruela

BT Urruela was definitely a must meet! We've followed his career as a model from the first time we saw a random pic on Facebook and the chance to meet him....awesome! He was super nice and I even got a pic with him! 

Aly Martinez

By far though, my favorite encounter was with the marvelous Aly Martinez! Nikki and I first "met" her when we read Stolen Course for the blog. It's an amazing book, and even though I've loved other stuff she's written, it's still my favorite. Unfortunately, I didn't get that signed this time, mostly because Nikki picked it up for me a few years back, but when I mentioned that to Aly, she knew exactly who I was! And that was exciting. With the number of fans she has, and corresponds with every day on social media, she knew ME. Or at least my name. And that was the sweetest thing ever! 

Dylan Horsch and Hilary Storm

While Aly was definitely my favorite new meet, the absolute best part of the day, the weekend even...was Dylan Horsch. He's a model, and was there with Hilary Storm (and is on a couple of couple of her book covers!!)...and he was the nicest guy, and he's not hard on the eyes either. ;) ;) ;) I'll admit, I was struck dumb by his handsomeness and totally blanked on getting a book signed at the signing by him and Hilary, and I deeply regret that. Nikki has already told me I'm fired. But...I DID get a picture with him, and that's the next best thing. 

I also met some awesome authors...including Andrea Smith and Katy Regnery! And both of them were kind enough to offer a few books (signed paperbacks!) for us to giveaway.

Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA. She nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorize and she hadn't taken her first breath!). 

Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana but has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus she has been blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her posse is loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write.

Kristen was raised in a house with a large and multi-generational family. They lived on a very small farm in a small town in the heartland and existed amongst the strains of Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched).

Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up. 

And as she keeps growing up, it keeps getting better.

In Isabella Austin Evangelista’s life miracles never happen… she knows she’s destined to be the princess who’s stuck in the middle of a fairytale where there will be no happily ever after.

Once upon a time, Prentice Cameron loved Isabella Austin until he discovered she was a spoiled, rich girl who spent her summers toying with his heart.

Life led Prentice to his own fairytale, the love of the full-of-life Fiona Sawyer. That being so, that fairytale was torn away when Fiona died of a brain tumor leaving Prentice with a house to keep clean, piles of laundry to be done, a business to run and two children who were getting tired of takeaway.

But Isabella comes back to Prentice’s tiny fishing town and she sweeps into his children’s lives like a beautiful, well-dressed fairy godmother who bakes exquisite chocolate cakes and gives the perfect manicure to six year old girls. Then Prentice finds out Isabella’s soul destroying secrets, secrets that explain why she left him so many years ago.

Fiona, stuck in her village and forced to haunt her family and watch Prentice and Isabella’s crazy dance, finds the impossible happening. She’s cheering for Bella and Prentice to rekindle their love. Then she finds out why she’s caught in her heartbreaking haunting and discovers she must embrace her magic and keep Bella safe or Bella’s fairytale will never come true.

THE DARKEST TORMENT Synopsis:

New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter returns with her most explosive Lords of the Underworld tale to date, about a fierce warrior on the brink of sanity who will stop at nothing to claim the exquisite human with the power to soothe the beast inside him…

Driven to his death by the demon of Distrust, Baden spent centuries in purgatory. Now he’s back, but at what cost? Bound to the king of the underworld, an even darker force, he’s unable to withstand the touch of another…and he’s quickly devolving into a heartless assassin with an uncontrollable temper. Things only get worse when a mission goes awry and he finds himself saddled with a bride—just not his own.

Famed dog trainer Katarina Joelle is forced to marry a monster to protect her loved ones. When she’s taken hostage by the ruthless, beautiful Baden immediately after the ceremony, she’s plunged into a war between two evils—with a protector more dangerous than the monsters he hunts. They are meant to be enemies, but neither can resist the passion burning between them…and all too soon the biggest threat is to her heart.

But as Baden slips deeper into the abyss, she’ll have to teach him to love…or lose him forever.
