Havoc
by Kindle Alexander
Series: Tattoos and Ties Duet
Published by: Author
November 25th, 2018
Genre: GLBTQ Romance
Format: eBook
Source: Kindle Unlimited
Rating: 2.5 Stars

     Keyes Dixon’s life is challenging enough as a full patch member of the Disciples of Havoc Motorcycle Club but being a gay biker leaves him traveling down one tough road. With an abusive past and his vow to the club cementing his future, he doesn’t believe in love and steers clear of commitment. But a midnight ride leads to a chance meeting with a sexy distraction that has him going down quicker than a Harley on ice.
     Cocky Assistant District Attorney Alec Pierce lives in the shadow of his politically connected family. A life of privilege doesn’t equal a life of love, a fact made obvious at every family gathering. Driven yet lonely, Alec yields to his family’s demands for his career path, hoping for the acceptance he craves. Until he meets a gorgeous biker who tips the scales in the favor of truth and he can no longer live a lie.
     Can two men from completely different worlds…and sides of the law…find common ground, or will all their desires only wreak Havoc?


     If I had known this was a duet before starting the book I might have enjoyed it more.

     You have on one side Keyes who is a motorcycle club (MC) member. The Disciples of Havoc is not an all together up and up club but they have improved since the olden days. The members of Havoc have been in the eye of the DA for years (which has helped on their being in the "right" path) but something else happened and they get raided by the FBI and ICE.

     Enter Alec, who is a lawyer with the DA's office and you get a recipe for disaster and who doesn't love a good forbidden romance story.

     This book started strong and I loved it but then I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop as to Key and Alec's forbidden relationship (I mean you know this is not going to seat well with the other members of the club) but nothing was happening.

     They've had a relationship for months and nothing happened apart from some small things here and there and the rest was them having sex. Now like I said at the beginning if I'd had known this was a duet I might have realized that their story continues and I wouldn't have been so disappointed after all this was the "getting to know each other" part of the story and where you connect with the characters and such.

     It was a great story but not what I was hoping for. I will be reading the second part of their story to see how it ends and since I know what to expect now, hopefully, I'll enjoy it more.

Barbarian's Touch
by Ruby Dixon
Series: Ice Planet Barbarians (#7)
Published by: Author
September 11th, 2018
Genre: Sci-Fi Romance
Format: Audiobook
Source: Library Loan
Rating: 4 Stars

     When I wake up on the ice planet, I’m scared of everything: this place is cold, silent, and the locals look more like blue devils than aliens. To make matters worse, one of the strangers decides I’m going to be his girlfriend and kidnaps me away from my sister. I’m completely and utterly alone. What’s a girl to do?  
     Well, this girl escapes. 
     Of course, that means I go from frying pan into the fire, and my situation gets even more dangerous. Just when I have no hope left, a new hero appears. Sure, he’s blue, horned, and has a tail. He’s also fierce, protective, makes me purr...and thinks I'm perfect. 
     But is what we have real or just a mating instinct?


     It's been more than a year since I read the last book on this series so I was a little lost at the beginning but I have enjoyed this book as much as I've enjoyed the previous books on this series.

     A couple of books back the aliens that originally kidnapped the girls have come back for them and one of the girls fights back and crashes the ship they are in. About a year has gone by and someone finds part of the ship and realized that there are people in it (or something like that the story goes).

     On this book, we get the rescue of the two girls trapped in this cargo section of the crashed ship. This two are blood sisters; Lila and Maddie. After a few kidnappings on previous books, the tribe's chief has forbidden to take any of the humans without their permission, even when they have resonated.

     Well, one of these men is desperate enough to not listen to the command and it is up to someone else to go rescue the poor girl that is deaf.

     I love how Ruby Dixon surprises me with every book. I mean there are a bunch of girls stuck in a planet with a parasite telling them who they have to mate with, how much can you do with that? It is with a fervent yearning that I start reading these books because Dixon always has a completely new and captivating story for every couple.

     If you don't mind your hero's blue-skinned, horned and with a tail, I recommend this series 1000%.

Willa's Beast
by Ruby Dixon
Series: Icehome (#3)
Published by: Author
October 5th, 2018
Genre: Sci-Fi Romance
Format: eBook
Source: Kindle Unlimited
Rating: 4 Stars

     Beast. Creature. Monster. 
     Dangerous. 
     All of these things have been said about Gren. 
     Willa doesn’t believe it, though. She knows that monsters can sometimes come in appealing packages. She knows that for all of his snarls and fearsome appearance, he’d never hurt her. 
     And she knows she has to get Gren away from the Icehome camp, because no one will ever see him as a person, not when he attacks all who come close. Not when he’s tied and treated like an animal. 
     She’s going to save him… or fall in love. Maybe both. Willa doesn’t mind that he’s a beast, as long as he’s her beast.


     This is the third book in the Icehome series and it is in the same timeline as the first two books. As Lauren is drifting in the "sea" and Veronica has been kidnapped by her dragon, Willa helps her beast escape.

     This book again takes me back to the beginning of the barbarian books when Georgie met Vektal and they were trying to communicate with each other.

     It was a little bit funny but most of all it was heartwarming and heartbreaking because Gren didn't understand that he wasn't a slave anymore.

     I fell in love with him and I kept praying for this couple to find a way to understand each other even though you know it's obvious that they will end up together.

     I cannot wait to read the next book in this series but first I have to finish the Ice Planet Barbarians series because the couple from the next book come from this community.

The Wall of Winnipeg and Me
by Mariana Zapata
Published by: Self-Published
February 28th, 2016
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Format: eBook
Source: Kindle Unlimited
Rating: 1 Star

     Vanessa Mazur knows she's doing the right thing. She shouldn't feel bad for quitting. Being an assistant/housekeeper/fairy godmother to the top defensive end in the National Football Organization was always supposed to be temporary. She has plans and none of them include washing extra-large underwear longer than necessary. 
     But when Aiden Graves shows up at her door wanting her to come back, she's beyond shocked. 
     For two years, the man known as The Wall of Winnipeg couldn't find it in him to tell her good morning or congratulate her on her birthday. Now? He's asking for the unthinkable. 
     What do you say to the man who is used to getting everything he wants? 


     Wow, The Wall of Winnipeg and Me, where do I begin...

     The book starts with this girl Vanessa, who is the assistant/housekeeper of Aiden, also known as the Wall of Winnipeg, wanting to quit because she has accumulated enough money for her to start her own business. She knew from the beginning that this job was not going to be something permanent; that she had a goal.

     Then it goes on to say how she started working for him and doing everything for him and what was expected from her. How she, in the beginning, didn't know anything about the job that she was going to do but she was going to make it work because she needed the money and this job paid really good. Everything after that is Aiden, Aiden, Aiden, the Wall of Winnipeg, Aiden, Aiden, the Wall of Winnipeg, blah blah blah.

     I made it about a hundred pages into the book and then I DNF'ed it. Aiden was an ass and Vanessa has a very low opinion of herself for having held on to a job that she was not happy with because she needed the money and because Aiden was a cold bastard.

     Then after that, for him to have the gall to ask her for a favor even when she kept saying no, no and no? I really don't know how this book can improve so I'm not going to keep reading it. And I seriously do not understand how this book made it to people's top tens of the year and in some cases even the top one.

Miss Mechanic
by Emma Hart
Published by: Author
December 12th, 2017
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Format: Audiobook
Source: Library Loan
Rating: 3 Stars

Two mechanics. One rivalry.
She’ll prove she’s as good as she says she is.
He’ll prove her place isn’t under the hood.
It’s over it.
​
     “Don’t let the b*****ds get you down.”
     For twenty-six years, I lived by my daddy’s motto. Which is why “Mechanic Wanted” is all it takes for me to apply for the job at the garage we once owned. 
     And I meet the biggest b*****d of them all.
     Dexter Ryne. Hotter than Hell in July and a firm believer that my place is on reception, taking phone calls and looking pretty. Not getting dirty under the hood of a car. 
     Determined to prove each other wrong, we make a deal.
     I have three weeks to prove my worth as a mechanic. If I don’t, I’m on telephone duty.
     If I do, he’ll accept defeat and make my job permanent. 
     Now, all I have to do is fight my attraction to the cocky little… beep.
     Problem is, an engine isn’t the only thing he knows how to make purr…


     I have read Emma Hart a few times and I've loved every one of those reads. This book although a fun and sexy read for some reason I didn't love as much as her other books.

     Not to say I didn't like it, I just for some reason was hung up on the fact that there were so many profanities on this read. Don't get me wrong I'm not a prude that can't handle the bad words on my reads, I just was too focused on that fact to actually enjoy the read.

     It might be the fact too that I was wondering how the narrators felt about saying them so much, lol.

     The story is about this woman Jamie to prove to Dexter that just because she dressed sexy and was very feminine didn't mean she couldn't do her job as a mechanic. That she could do it and do it better than him.

     There were many hilarious scenes and some hot scenes too and I am pretty sure I would have enjoyed this book (even give it 4 stars) if I had read it instead of listening to it.

     But lesson learned and really anything Emma Hart I recommend it if you are looking for a fun fast flirty read and don't mind the F-bomb being thrown around like it's candy.

Veronica's Dragon
by Ruby Dixon
Series Icehome (#2)
Published by: Author
May 23rd, 2018
Genre: Sci-Fi Romance
Format: eBook
Source: Kindle Unlimited
Rating: 4 Stars

     Resonance. 
     It’s a given on the ice planet, forced upon you by the parasitic symbiont called the ‘khui’. With resonance, a guy and a girl are paired up because they’ll make great babies. It’s a survival mechanism necessary for this sparsely-populated world we’re stranded on… and romantic, in a weird, alien way. 
     Everyone expects resonance to happen when twenty newcomers are dropped onto the frosty world. I doubt anyone expects the gorgeous, golden god named Ashtar to resonate to someone like me, though. He’s fierce. Flirty. Powerful. Disgustingly handsome. 
     I’m… not any of those things. I’m bland. Boring. Clumsy. 
     But resonance seems to think we’d be great together. And Ashtar does, too… 


     What can I say about this book? Well, Ruby Dixon is one of the best (IMO) when writing very alien aliens.

     I loved Ashtar and Veronica so much. I have not read Dixon's Fireblood Dragon series yet so this is my first Dragon from her and I will definitely get my hands on that series asap.

     This story is told paralleled to Lauren's Barbarian story, the first book of the series. From the moment they are rescued from the slavers' ship and before they get their "cooties" Ashtar is attracted to Veronica and he can't wait for the other's to let down their guard so he can steal her away and be free.

     I loved this story and the characters. Veronica is a healer and I was glad to see a new element to these stories (although I haven't yet finished the IPB series so the sa-khui healer might have gotten a story too) and see how the healing is done.

     I was very sad that Ashtar still didn't understand that he was truly free and that he didn't have to run away. That the other barbarians respect resonance and that Veronica just wanted to be with him. I did love how very protective of Veronica and how mad he got when she overtaxed herself. It was just plain adorable.

     Ruby Dixon, in my opinion, is a master at creating "alieny" looking aliens that you can't help but love. I can't wait for the next story and to continue reading the IPB one.
