Twenty-seven-year-old Farrow Keene lives by his actions, and his actions say he’s the best at whatever he does. As a 24/7 bodyguard and the new boyfriend to Maximoff Hale, protecting the headstrong, alpha billionaire has never been more complicated. And one rule can’t be bent: Keep your relationship secret from the public. Farrow is confident he’s the best man for the job. But a twist in Maximoff’s fast-paced life sticks them with the rest of Security Force Omega and their clients. On the road. In a sleeper tour bus. For four rocky months. Sexual frustrations, check. Road trip drama, check. Awkward bonding, check. But Farrow couldn’t have accounted for a high-risk threat (identity: unknown) that targets Maximoff before the ignition even turns. And it hits Farrow — someone has it out for the guy he loves. Every day, Maximoff & Farrow’s feelings grow stronger, and together, they’ll either sink or swim.

Don’t date your bodyguard. It was the one rule he had to break. Maximoff Hale is a force of nature. A ship unwilling to be steered. Headstrong, resilient, and wholly responsible — the twenty-two-year-old alpha billionaire can handle his unconventional life. By noon, lunch can turn into a mob of screaming fans. By two, his face is all over the internet. Born into one of the most famous families in the country, his celebrity status began at birth. He is certified American royalty. When he’s assigned a new 24/7 bodyguard, he comes face-to-face with the worst case scenario: being attached to the tattooed, MMA-trained, Yale graduate who’s known for “going rogue” in the security team — and who fills 1/3 of Maximoff’s sexual fantasies. Twenty-seven-year-old Farrow Keene has one job: protect Maximoff Hale. Flirting, dating, and hot sex falls far, far out of the boundary of his bodyguard duties and into “termination” territory. But when feelings surface, protecting the sexy-as-sin, stubborn celebrity becomes increasingly complicated. Together, boundaries blur, and being exposed could mean catastrophic consequences for both.


EXCERPT

Proactively waiting isn’t my thing. I can admit that. So when Farrow unwraps a piece of gum and tugs open the fridge, I ask him, “Need help?”

He chews his gum slowly and glances at me in a way that reminds me he’s twenty-seven. I’m twenty-two, and he’s more than capable to do shit himself.

Farrow starts to smile. “It’s cute that you think I need help getting eggs.” He grabs a carton and kicks the fridge closed.

“You could’ve dropped the fucking eggs.” I’m fighting a stupid battle. And I grimace-smile which makes me want to poke my own eyes out.

Farrow pops his gum. “You mean you would’ve dropped the eggs.”

“Did I? Pretty sure I meant you could’ve.”

Farrow sets the carton by the sink. “I have steadier hands than you.” He leans close and whispers huskily, “You’re not beating me at this.”

I shake my head on instinct. When it comes to Farrow, boyfriend or not, I don’t want to concede that fast. “It’s not proven yet.”

He rolls his eyes into a smile. “Hold out your hand.”

I extend my hand, palm-down. Wondering how he can discern any shake just by sight.

Farrow rotates my wrist. “Like this.” And then he smashes an egg right in my palm.

Don’t smile at him. Don’t smile at him. “Thanks for that,” I say sarcastically, hand dripping in broken eggshell and yolk. 

“Anytime.” He laughs, and I act quickly and wipe the runny egg onto his black V-neck, feeling the ridges of his six-pack beneath.

Farrow props his elbows on the sink and actually lets me use his shirt as a towel, even while he’s wearing the thing. Christ.

He’s a Grade A sexy asshole.

Go To Hail, Lani Lynn Vale ~ Release Blitz

Title: Go To Hail

Series: Hail Raisers #2

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release: October 27, 2017

Everybody has problems. But Travis? Yeah, he has so many problems that he finds it hard to breathe sometimes.

He spends five years catering to his ex-wife’s every want and need—all to make it possible to continue to see his child.

He isn’t supposed to fall in love with a woman, but he does.

He isn’t supposed to find someone that is willing to put up with his ex-wife’s crazy antics, but he has.

He isn’t supposed to be happy, but he is.

And all it takes is his ex-wife finding out about his new-found peace for things to change.

***

Hannah saw him and knew he was the one.

All it took was one look into that haunted man’s eyes, and she was lost, never to be found again.

She thinks she has it all. His love, a new baby made with that love, and a house to raise their blended family.

She’s wrong, and Travis’ ex-wife is out to prove it.

***

Travis doesn’t deserve Hannah. All he’s done is hurt her.

She’s done everything in her power to keep everyone happy, but the more she tries, the harder his ex-wife pushes. Until one day, there’s nothing left to push.

Hannah leaves, and Allegra wins.

But Travis isn’t willing to let her have her way any longer.

He fights back, and only gets a bullet to the chest to show for it.

 

I don't know who broke my heart more, Hannah for basically being a single, struggling parent while living in a house with the father of one of her children; or for Travis who was totally in love with her, but couldn't act on his feelings because he had a psycho ex-wife who was still controlling his life and using the child they had together to carry on her nastiness when Travis spent time with her. I think when it comes to strong women in books, Hannah is my new favorite. She put up with so much and still was able to let her love for Travis guide her when any other woman would've walked away. As always, I am a huge fan of LLV's writings and this one is no different. She writes characters and scenarios that come to life right off the pages and you know pretty much any of her stories could be the story of someone living right next door to you. Once again she made my heart hurt a little and my eyes leak with this one.

I was given an ARC of this book and I give it 5 stars.

I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 5, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.

Havoc, Ambere Sabo ~ Review Tour

Title: Havoc

Series: A Silent Sons MC #2

Author: Ambere Sabo

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: October 19, 2017

United Indie Book Blog - “This story has some twist and turns with some really HOT steamy scenes.” My Timeout Book Blog - “Plot twists, steaming HOT scenes, strong & sassy women, along with fierce men this book will keep you wanting more.” Vikki Purcell - “OMG.......This book is one that once you start your unable to put down. The flow of writing as the story unfolds keeps you wanting more.”

Havoc I left behind my home, my family and my club to hunt down a bastard that doesn’t want to be found. My only focus is putting a bullet in his head and figuring out how to save my sisters from the Infierno cartel. The problem? He’s a ghost in the wind who always seems to be one step ahead. Things change when my best friend, Cessy, forces me to bring Angel out on the road with me. Angel Hernandez, the hotheaded Hispanic beauty who drives me crazy. She wants the bastard’s head as much as I do but she has no concern for what it may cost her. Can we overcome the scars of our past together or are we destined to die for the sins of 
another?

Havoc’s world was turned upside down in book 1 when he found out what a truly disgusting man his birth father really is. Much worse than he’s gone his whole life even knowing. This book begins with the hunt for dear ol’ dad, Wrecker, and to eliminate the Infierno Cartel who are behind a large human trafficking ring. The thing is, it’s personal with Havoc not only because his dad is aiding them, but because his sisters, who he hasn’t seen in years, are some of the trafficking victims.

Angel, who was once held by the Cartel and now has become a “family” member of the Silent Sons MC, has her own plans to destroy these same people. Only she plans on going out in a blaze of glory in the end once she gets revenge for them killing her parents and burning her once peaceful life to the ground.

When these two get put together by an order from the club Prez, sparks fly!

I can say I enjoyed this story much more than book 1. The writing flowed a lot better and was more enjoyable to read and there weren’t large gaps of time and events that were breezed over in this book. Parts of this story are heartbreaking so be ready for the possibility of dropping a tear. And parts of this story had me chuckling. I will tell you if you choose to read this book you really MUST read book one, Cessy, or you’ll be lost to the events going on. And I also feel I must tell you this book ends on a cliffie.

I was given as an ARC to review and I give this one 4 stars.
