Blurb

Trinity Hurst.

That girl fucking owned me the minute I laid eyes on her. At twenty-one years old she already had a cold, calculating wall around her. The walls she built up around herself were designed to keep guys like me away. Underneath her tough girl exterior lay something sweet and vulnerable that I very much wanted to explore.

I had her first.

I fell in love with her.

Then we fucked everything up.

Wrath.

His name should have been lust. Pure, soul-shattering lust was the deadly sin I felt when I looked up—way up—into his ocean blue eyes. I should despise bikers. I should most definitely steer clear of this one, with his thick, muscled arms, and low sensual voice. My normally impeccable self-preservation instinct vanished the minute he walked in the door. Like everything else in my life, I fucked it up. And he’s never going to forgive me.

Old Habits Die Hard.

Wrath and Trinity met when the Lost Kings MC was on shaky ground. After three perfect nights together, Wrath knew she was it for him. But Trinty’s dark past was about to catch up to her and the Lost Kings MC was her only hope for protection. One misunderstanding led to a chain of mistakes that pushed them apart for years. When long-buried secrets are finally revealed, Wrath will stop at nothing to break their bad habits and make Trinity understand—she belongs to him. 

Author’s note: There is no actual cheating in Tattered on My Sleeve.

Excerpt

Besides his job as enforcer for the Lost Kings MC, Wrath owns a gym. One of the ways he tries to reconcile with Trinity is by asking her to help him prepare for a fight. This is from one of the times they’re working together.

My attention is finally drawn to the papers Trinity has in her hands. “What’s that?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. I didn’t realize Jake was already… You asked me to put some stuff together… So never mind.”

She folds the papers in half before I snatch them out of her hands.

“Ow! Thanks for the paper cuts, asshat.”

Jake chuckles and grabs her hands to look them over. I can’t wait to get in the ring with him later and kick his ass while Trinity watches.

I’m impressed with what she printed out. I knew she’d be good at this. She’s got a week’s worth of circuit training exercises broken into different ones on each day. Each circuit includes a balance of strength and endurance exercises. I glare at Jake, and he takes the hint to get lost.

“You’ve done your homework,” I say, handing the papers back to Trin.

The corner of her mouth twitches down in disappointment. “You don’t think it’s any—”

“Is that what I said?” I hate snapping at her, but sometimes it’s the only way to get through her self-doubt.

“No.”

“Where’d you find some of these?”

“Are they too advanced for you?”

I tilt my head and stare at her. “Seriously?” She chuckles. “Good, then call me when you’re going to try the Front Lever. It looks sexy.” She spins away and heads back to the office.

ALPHA BOOK CLUB REVIEW

“we end up side by side on the bed and I lean over to kiss her, slowly tasting her lips.  She relaxes, moaning softly, giving in to me.  Kissing a trail down her neck to her breasts earns me another sigh of pleasure.”

5 beautiful, heartbreaking stars!!!  This book takes you on a crazy, emotional ride.  But darn it’s so worth it!!

Trinity Hurst.

That girl fucking owned me the minute I laid eyes on her. At twenty-one years old she already had a cold, calculating wall around her. Porn star hair, angel eyes, beautiful cock-sucking lips. All of it smoothed into an innocent looking package. Well, to anyone else she might appear pure and innocent. Not me.

She didn’t act like any other biker chick I’d ever met. Most of them kept their mouths shut and their legs open. She didn’t take shit from anyone, and made a guy work for every little smile she tossed his way. A unique talent that drove me fucking nuts. The walls she built up around herself were designed to keep guys like me away. Underneath her tough girl exterior lay something sweet and vulnerable that I very much wanted to explore.

I had her first.

I fell in love with her.

Then it all went to hell.

Wrath.

His name should have been lust.

Pure, soul-shattering lust was the deadly sin I felt when I looked up—way up—into his ocean blue eyes.

I should despise bikers. I should most definitely steer clear of this one, with his thick, muscled arms, and low sensual voice.

My normally impeccable self-preservation instinct vanished the minute he walked in the door.

Like everything else in my life, I fucked it up.

And he’s never going to forgive me.

I can’t even put into words how much I loved this book!!  This series is intense and heartbreaking and this book was no different!!!  Trinity and Wrath’s story was intense and beautiful to say the least.  I loved this series so much and I am now in love with Wrath!!!  Great, Great book and great series!!!

Burn (A Bayonet Scars Novel) By JC Emery

Tragedy cuts deep. Revenge burns deeper.

The blood of their enemies coats the leather of their cuts and a trail of bodies lie in their wake, but the Forsaken Motorcycle Club isn't done yet. Carlo Mancuso still needs to pay for his sins. Nobody knows that more than Ian Buckley, the Treasurer for Forsaken.

Ian prefers his pleasure mixed with pain and he's only ever at peace when he's doling out justice. Convinced that he's too unstable and sadistic to take an old lady, he keeps his trysts, like all of his relationships, brief and anonymous. But with his club at war, and the stakes being so personal, Ian's feeling the events around him more deeply than he expects.

Mindy Mercer is the sweet daughter of Fort Bragg’s most respectable cop. At least that’s how the town sees her. Very few people know the Mindy who hides her tracks and battles her cravings by lying to everyone around her. She thinks she has control of her addiction until she suffers an attack that leaves her searching for a way out of her own personal hell.

Mindy has never been more desperately in need of a savior and Ian has never seen a more beautifully destroyed creature in his life. Their attraction is intense, but their damage is extreme. Some scars never heal, and some people never get better.

Love is never more painful than when it can kill you.“I didn’t even say anything.”

“Didn’t have to.” He stops at the deck, just feet from the front door. I have to back up a step to keep from literally stepping on his toes. “You get away with a lot with me because of shit you don’t even understand. I’ll tolerate whatever crap you want to throw my way as long as you remember your place with the club and with my brother.”

“I don’t understand.” I feel like I’ve been dropped into the conversation halfway through because I’m pretty much lost now.

EXCERPT

“He likes you,” is his blunt explanation. When my eyebrows pull together in confusion he shakes his head and purses his lips like he’s thinking about what he wants to say. “More than likes you. Don’t take it for granted and don’t fuck it up. He chose you and I respect that, but make no mistake about it, babe. You do him dirty and you’ll answer to me.” I narrow my eyes and he leans in closer. His rank breath washes over my face.

“I won’t hesitate to slit your fucking throat if you fuck my brother over.”

I tilt my chin up, closer to his ear and lean in so we’re chest to chest. He’s taller than me by several inches, but I don’t care. He’s going to hear what I have to say and that’s all that matters.

“Threatening somebody with death only works if they’re afraid of dying.” I say the words slowly and with purpose, meaning every single one. If he wanted to scare me, he should have threatened to take away something that matters to me—like Ian.

As a child, JC was fascinated by things that went bump in the night. As they say, some things never change. Now, as an adult, she divides her time between the sexy law men, mythical creatures, and kick-ass heroines that live inside her head and pursuing her bachelor's degree in English. JC is a San Francisco Bay Area native, but has also called both Texas and Louisiana home. These days she rocks her flip flops year round in Northern California and can't imagine a climate more beautiful.

JC writes adult, new adult, and young adult fiction. She dabbles in many different genres including science fiction, horror, chick lit, and murder mysteries, yet she is most enthralled by supernatural stories-- and everything has at least a splash of romance.

“The pain in my chest gets so bad that it feels like my bike got dropped on my f@cking ribs.  I didn’t know it could hurt this bad, had no f@cking clue how painful it is to realize how much you love someone knowing you’re not good for them.”

5 huge stars!!  This was such a great book in the series!!  I loved this series before this book and I love it even more now!!!

Mindy is the sweet, innocent daughter of Fort Bragg’s most well known cop, that’s what she wants everyone to believe.  But little does anyone know, she’s battling an addiction that she hides from everyone.  She thinks she can control it until she has an attack.  Ian like danger and he’s not happy unless he’s in pain.  He doesn’t think he’s well enough to take on a girlfriend, so he runs through girls like a girl runs through underwear.  Then he meets Mindy and she can’t believe he’s come into her life at the right time.  But will love be enough to save them both??

SYNOPSIS

Honor. 

Courage. 

Commitment.

Three things Jesse Carter has lost. A former Marine, Jesse used to stand proud of his achievements and live by the code. But when circumstance made him question everything he believed in, those most basic values didn’t feel so important after all.

Sex. 

Lies. 

Knights Rebels.

Three things Jesse Carter has found. Reborn into a brotherhood not so different from the one he left behind, Jesse finds it all too easy to block out his past and claim the role as the Rebels' fun loving player.

Until he meets Bell.

Shy, awkward, and with troubles of her own, Bell Johnson's no stranger to hiding her pain. When Jesse forces himself into her life, she’s at risk of her defences crumbling.

Does Bell have the strength to survive Jesse and his demons or is she fated to become another casualty in the self-destruction of Jesse Carter?

EXCERPT

I wake up to the heat of someone’s palm against my shoulder. Twisting around, my hand moves faster than my brain, and I snatch it off me. 

“Jesse, it’s me, Bell,” she rushes out before I can take it any further. 

“Fuck.” I release my grip on her arm and sit up, forcing myself back to the here and now. 

“Did I hurt you?” I reach for her searching for any sign of a mark left by me.

“It’s fine. You barely touched me.” She holds her arm out letting me inspect it. I check it over one more time before releasing her and relaxing.

“You wanna talk about it?” I study her face, eyes calm, soft mouth. She’s not freaking out.

“Just some shit that visits my dreams sometimes, nothing that needs to touch you,” I reply, shocked I’m not retreating. 

“I don’t mind, Jesse,” she pushes, and I almost cave. Almost. 

“The last thing I want to do is talk about this shit, Bell.” She doesn’t argue or press, and I’m grateful for it. I don’t think I’d be able to keep my cool if she did. 

“Come back to sleep.” She lies back down and I follow her. She doesn’t ask me any more questions, or make me feel like I need to tell her everything. 

“That ever happens again, don’t wake me,” I warn. A menacing thought strikes through me picturing what could have happened if I didn’t wake in time. She’s lucky I didn’t hurt her, like the last time a woman touched me while I had a nightmare. 

“You don’t always have to be so brave, Jesse.” Her hand moves to my dog tags. I don’t stop her. I’m starting to like the feeling of her hands touching them. 

“Never tried to be, Bell. But talking doesn’t help me. Never has.” I think back to the time when I did try and it forced me out of control. Talking about those triggers only amplified my insecurities. When death sits afar, mocking you in the dangerous confines of your surroundings, it fucks with your head; nothing was going to change it. 

Besides, my issues weren’t what I had done. They were what I had survived. My conscience wasn’t clear and my honor wasn’t clean.

“Promise me you won’t touch me.” I keep my tone even, controlled.

“I promise.” I take her hand in mine and bring it to my lips. Maybe one day I will let someone in. Let her in. 

Today isn’t that day. 

But today, I didn’t push her away. 

That has to count for something.

River Savage is the Author of the Knights Rebels MC Series. She released her debut novel, Incandescent, in August 2014. 

An avid reader of romance and erotic novels, her love for books and reading fueled her passion for writing. Reading no longer sated her addiction, so she started writing in secret. She never imagined that her dream of publishing a novel would ever be achievable. 

With a soft spot for an alpha male and a snarky sassy woman, Kadence and Nix were born.

Alpha Book Club's Review

“Dipping his mouth to meet mine, he delivers a toe-curling kiss that makes me want to bury my fingers in his soft hair, and bring him closer.  When I bring my bound hands forward, however, he pulls back ‘No touchin’.”

5 super sexy stars!!  Wow this book did not disappoint at all, it was just as hot as the first one if not hotter.  The story is very entertaining and I read this short book in one sitting!!  I really love this series.

*This is a serial. The installments are not novel length.*

Harley’s story continues with the second part in the Inferno Glory series. After she’s reunited with her estranged brother, and learns his intentions are less than honorable, she’s plagued with the choice between staying to protect herself and the MC, or leaving before Colt destroys who she’s become.

When Colt catches Harley on her way out of town where she plans to clear her head for a few days, he’ll invite himself and Ranger to make sure she’s ‘properly spoiled.’ Once they’re all reunited on the beach, sparks will fly.

The pressure increases to full throttle when Harley is in the middle of two hot bikers with one possibly wanting more than she can give. The heat of multiple men and the fear of her twisted brother may make her leave the MC family for good, and send her running into the arms of another man.

Book 2 picks up exactly where book 1 left off with Harley hearing her brother trying to get her out of the club.  Colt shows up and takes her away to San Diego with Ranger, and again there’s a hot hookup in the hotel room.  And as much as Harley tries to deny her feelings for Colt, she knows it’s a lost cause.  While in San Diego, Colt gets a phone call saying he’s needed back at the club for urgent business.  He leaves with Ranger and tells Harley to stay so that she’s safe.  Of course being the hard headed woman she is, she leaves and shows up at the club.  Colt furious, suggest she goes and hang out with the other old ladies.  Things get even more intense and crazy from there.  There is an insane cliffhanger and I can’t wait to see what happens next!
