REVIEW

Firstly, it's so hard to say anything about this without giving anything away. It's actually quite difficult! I did enjoy it though and give it a solid 4 stars. 

Book 2 in the Power Chain series, we have Paxton and Laurel. They've known each other for years and have a history, but it's not all roses. When Pax decides he's taking Laurel back, he does it in one of the most infuriating ways I've ever read about! I seriously wanted to smack him upside the head for that. And I'm positive Laurel did too. The characters are strong and well-defined, and each have their place in the Power Chain group. Pax's actions aren't ideal, but if you break it down, there's chivalry behind them. Twisted chivalry, but still there!
Although it's a standalone, naturally you'll get the most out of it by reading book 1 first, and even 0.5 (which i still haven't caught up on!). The basics of their business are explained, but again, you get more out of that by starting at the beginning.
I love Ellen Sue, their 'mother hen' who keeps them... no in line, but she tends to their houses and such when they need her. I love that she's a constant through these books, and always sides with 'her boys' and isn't a pushover to the women who try to wheedle information out of her! She's such a great character

No one denies me. Especially her.

She dismissed me.
That was her first mistake.
She thought I was a nice guy.
That was her second.
She had hope.
That was the final straw.
I am Onyx Blake.
I’m a powerhouse in an ugly underworld only found in her nightmares.
She’s going to learn quickly, I’m not the man to let anything go …
Including her.

***REVIEW***

This is what happens when you write a review, go to move it, then forget you need to paste it and copy something else...
I had to start again. Let's see if I remember what the hell I wrote!

It's been a very long time since a book has had me up all night and reading to the very end. And I mean it when I say a looooong time. This had me tapping those pages until I found out every secret, every detail, and by the time I was done, it was almost 4 a.m. 
Sleep did not matter until I had the answers!

Since the authors have specifically asked not to have any plotline (fair enough) or character (eep!) spoilers, this is somewhat harder than I'd thought it would be to write. 
But I'll see how I go (again).
Onyx is such a strong character whose world is controlled by him and his friends. You just don't go against his commands or wishes. But Torryn does. Oops!
He says it all in the blurb--she denies him, dismisses him, and thinks he's a good guy. And he really doesn't like when she does all that. 
The name he gives her is fitting too--in its own twisted way--and I really kind of liked it. 

There are a heap of secrets that just have to be discovered, and twists you never see coming. Even to the point of wincing and gasping "Oooo!"

I really do love Onyx's strength of character and the changes you see in him throughout the book. And those changes don't affect the important parts of his life either, they just enhance it all. 
And while Torryn has had a run of rotten luck, she really finds her own while under the care of Onyx. 

Hopefully I haven't gone against the wishes of the authors here because I'd really like the second book! In the meantime, I'm off to find the prequel (why didn't I know about this before?!) and to spend another too many hours without sleep! 
Definitely worth the read, and the all-nighter! If you're a fan of either of these authors, I would recommend you having a crack at this one.

REVIEW!! The Mercenary (The War Chronicles #1) by Petra Landon

Buy from Amazon US

SYNOPSIS FROM GOODREADS

She's a prisoner of the Imperial Forces. He's a nomad with a mercenary army. Can a desperate girl's risky gamble and a fierce warrior's love turn the tide of war and rewrite the destiny of their corner of the galaxy?

In a distant corner of the galaxy, Quadrant Five burns in the flames of a deadly war. The Budheya people are one of the worst affected.

Saakshi
Imprisoned by the Ketaari Imperial Forces, a young Budheya rebel is sent to a distant space station to work in an alehouse. For a girl who has known only hardship in her short life, things could be worse. Until an old foe walks into the alehouse.

Zoran
Zoran is Hadari'Kor - notoriously fierce mercenaries who only fight for hire. Drawn to a weary-eyed server girl, Zoran is forced to confront age-old traditions and question his role in the war.

The Rebel & The Mercenary
Alone, friendless and far from home, Saakshi makes a desperate gamble to trust an enigmatic stranger whose hot gaze haunts her dreams. The echoes of this unlikely alliance reverberate across the quadrant. As a relentless enemy hunts Saakshi, Zoran must fight with everything in his arsenal to protect her. When passion ignites amidst the embers of a smoldering war, will a warrior's quest for justice bring a mighty Empire to its knees ...

Author's Note : A spirited and resilient girl, a fierce warrior with a mighty heart, a fiery passion that flares amidst the debris of a deadly war and a love that will alter the fate of an entire quadrant forms the tale of The Mercenary, a standalone story that sets the scene for The War Chronicles - a collection of SciFi Romance & Space Opera tales with romance, swashbuckling adventure & a sprinkling of action

REVIEW

The author offered me a review copy and I'd been reading along and enjoying it mightily. Very strong and likeable characters, slimy bad guys, great world building, romance, action, page turning plot – everything I love in a book. And then I ran into one of those traffic jams that occasionally appear on everyone's life highway and couldn't read for weeks! Yes, it was very painful but my point is this book lingered in my mind. I found myself thinking about the characters and what further facets will be revealed, what plot twists they had yet to face, how they might react and rooting for them to succeed.  When life untangled itself I finished it and loved every minute but the story still lingers in my mind. To me, this is the sign of a great book and a great author.

Currently there is only one in the series but it is obviously set up for more – can't wait! I'll definitely be getting the next one. I did pick up the other book she has out, The Prophecy (Saga of the Chosen, #1), which is at the top of my TBR list.

Thanks to the author for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

NEW RELEASE & REVIEW!! Originals Ride (Hellions Ride #8) by Chelsea Camaron

Title: Originals Ride: Hellions Motorcycle Club

Series: Hellions Ride #8

Author: Chelsea Camaron

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: June 27, 2016

Four men, four families, four originals, one club. 

Go back to where it all began so long ago for Roundman, Danza, Frisco, and the late Rocky Fowler. A life choice, a road less traveled, all coming together in the name of brotherhood. 

Some found love, some faced loss, and others learned real loyalty. This is the story before the chaos. This is how the originals ride. 

*This is a full length novel. Each book in the Hellions Ride series can be read as a stand-alone story with NO cliffhanger endings. Contains adult language, situations, and violence not recommended for readers under the age of 18. This is not an exact depiction of life in a motorcycle club but rather a work of fiction meant to entertain.

I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of this series and I'm slightly sad that it's coming to a close. This is the second last book in the series and goes back to where it all began, to how the original members met and how they came to become Hellions MC. These characters have always been there in this series, but we've never know much about them, other than Roundman being the head of Hellions and Doll's dad, and Danza being Sass's dad. 

There is so much background in this that we finally get to understand, and why it's always been about protection and family to them. From the original four, and how it became three. How shit from the past came and messed with the club throughout its existence. And the big lead in to the final book... 

I cried with the characters, through bad times and good. I sat up and read the book in one sitting because I just couldn't put it down. I highly recommend reading this and immersing yourself in the world of the Hellions back where it all began. 

Chelsea's characters are always well formed, and it's easy to lose yourself in the world she's created. This is one of the best of the series I've read. Loved it!

Originals Ride by Chelsea Camaron

EXCERPT

ROUNDMAN

“Hush, little baby, don’t say a word,” Dia sings softly to our baby girl. “Daddy’s gonna buy you a Harley shirt.”

I can’t stop the laugh that escapes as I lean against the doorjamb.

Little noises come from our baby, and Dia looks up at me with sharp eyes.

“Well then, Mister Chuckles, you come put her to sleep.” She stands from the rocking chair and brings me the baby all wrapped in red.

Claudia was adamant that our nursery and baby not look like someone vomited Pepto pink in her room and her wardrobe. Can’t say that I’m sad she feels that way, either.

With her hair all wild around her face, her eyes tired from lack of sleep these last few days, and baby spit-up on her shirt, my wife has never looked more disheveled nor more beautiful.

Taking Delilah from her arms, I kiss my wife on her forehead. “Go shower and take a nap, love.”

“Gladly,” she says with an exhausted smile. With a quick kiss to our daughter’s head and one to my lips, she heads off to her sanctuary—our bedroom.

Sitting in the rocker that faces my daughter’s crib all decked out in hot air balloons with teddy bears, I have to smile at how life has changed from the moment they placed Delilah in my arms.

With the face of a doll, eyes of an angel, and a head of blonde hair to match her mother’s, my baby girl is absolutely perfect.

Bright eyes look up at me as she opens and closes her mouth like a fish. “Never known love so deep, dollface.” My voice is raspy as I try not to be loud, but I want to talk to my little girl. “Loved your momma before, but watching her with you, holding you, having you … Well, Doll, I’ve never know anything purer in my life.”

My daughter smiles. Dia says it’s gas, but I don’t care. My baby girl smiles before her eyes close, and she snuggles closer to me.

“Leather, oil, and man,” I explain happily. “One day, you’re gonna grow up, and when you find a man, he should smell like a hardworking man, Doll.” The thought of my baby girl growing up has me twitching to shoot something. “Never mind that, precious. I promise you, as your dad, I’ll be the man you look up to. I’ll be the man who makes you proud. I’ll be rock solid for you and your momma. I’ll give you my all and my love.” I rock her, thinking of what it’s going to be like to watch her grow. “When the time comes to let you go, I’m going to fight like hell to keep you with me. I’ll give my life before I’ll let anyone touch you.” Kissing her head as she soundly sleeps, I hold my daughter in my arms.
