Trista Stevens
Things went quickly sour with the already married Harry when she found out their affair had a bigger repercussion. Heartbroken, she had to do what was best for everyone.
Just as planned, she and Lindsey went to visit Emma in Greece. Trista thought this vacation was going to be a way for her to heal and come to terms with of the gargantuan mistakes she’s made in the past.
Taylor Montgomery thought himself a rational man, but meeting the fiery Trista made him think twice. Yet, her mask slips once in awhile. She carried pain and secrets hidden from within. Her fire and vulnerability made him want to protect her all the more. But Trista wouldn’t have any of it.
One thing Trista should know about the indispensable man though. He's not the kind who gives up easily.
Come what may.

As president of the Predators’ MC, my men and I are used to preying on the weak and those stupid enough to cross our paths. So why does a straitlaced teacher make me sit up and take notice when I see her for the first time? The brothers all think she makes me weak, and believe me, weak in their eyes isn’t where I want to be. She wants me to prove she means more to me than the club, and when I fail, she thinks she can just walk away. She’s wrong. I’m a Predator, and nothing escapes me.

As a teacher, I’m supposed to want to educate those who want to learn, right? That’s what I believed until I was told I’d have to teach a class at the prison. I didn’t move to a town labeled as one of the safest places in America only to be faced with a bunch of Predators. He expects me to trust him despite being the reason I’m trapped in the middle of a prison riot. His club means more to him than I ever will, and if I give him a chance, he will break the fragile peace I have managed to find. It’s not the first time I’ve had to escape a predator.

Sweet tea, corn bread, and soup beans—everyday fare for eight-year-old Alix French, the precocious darling of a respected southern family. But nothing was ordinary about the day she met ten-year-old Nick Anderson, a boy from the wrong side of town. Armed with only a tin of bee balm and steely determination, Alix treats the raw evidence of a recent beating that mars his back, an act that changes both of their lives forever.
Through childhood disasters and teenage woes they cling together as friendship turns to love. The future looks rosy until the fateful night when Frank Anderson, Nick's abusive father, is shot to death in his filthy trailer.

REVIEW: Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley
Get ready
to ride . . .
Tyra Masters has had enough drama to last a lifetime. Now,
she's back on track and looking forward to her new, quiet life. Until she meets
the man of her dreams. The tattooed, muscled biker plies her with tequila-and
the best sex of her life. She knows it isn't the tequila and hot sex talking.
He's the kind of man she's always wanted. Unfortunately, he's also her new boss
. . .
Kane "Tack" Allen has a rule. He doesn't employ
someone he's slept with. So when he learns he spent last night in bed with his
new office manager, he quickly fires Tyra. Yet when Tyra stands up to him and
fights for her job, Tack is intrigued. He tells her she can keep her job on one
condition: no more sex. Ever. But as things heat up between them, Tack finds
that he'll be the one breaking all the rules...
“We don’t transport
drugs. We don’t offer enforcement. We don’t sell tail. We don’t sell guns. We
build cars and sell auto supplies.”
But Tack was different than the stereotype as well . . .
“You take my hand
again like you did that night, I’ll guide you through the nightmare. We’ll make
it to the other side and I promise, along the way, you’ll enjoy the ride.”
It may not be for everyone, Tack is
after all the biker boss to end all biker bosses, rude, bossy, swears a lot,
has a short fuse, drinks tequila like it is water, and eats more pork than one
man should. But he is a man, who loves life and enjoys it.

REVIEW: Mystery Man by Kristen Ashley
Night time
is the right time...
Gwendolyn Kidd has met the man of her dreams. He's hot, he's sexy, and what
started as a no-names-exchanged night of passion has blossomed into a year and
a half-long pleasure fest. Sure, it's a little strange that he only appears in
her bed at night, but Gwen is so sure he's the one, she just can't turn him
away...
Hawk Delgado knows more about Gwen than she could ever imagine. She's gorgeous,
headstrong, and skittish about relationships. But Hawk is facing his own
demons, demons that keep him from connecting with anyone. Yet when Gwen is drawn
into Denver's lethal underground scene, Hawk's protective nature comes out full
force. The problem is, when Gwen gets a dose of Hawk's Alpha attitude in the
daylight, she's not so sure he's the one anymore....
Gwen and Mystery Man have a sexual
relationship for a year and a half. He breaks into her home at night and slips
into her bed regulary.
The way this relationship plays out during this time is
strange for this reader: #1: She never asks his name? and #2:She never speaks
to him at all?
I would have been waiting at the front door for him or at the
least left the windows and doors unlocked!
When danger finds Gwen the first person to show to protect
her is Mystery Man. She then finds out that he knows all about her and she
learns who he is. Cabe “Hawk” Delgado is a badass alpha commando who speaks in
phrases like "you with me" and "Babe eyes". Hawk has the
means to protect her through his background and his business.
