It’s lights, camera, ACTION for the Iron Fiends!
Throttle doesn’t care about anything but the Iron Fiends MC. Life dealt him a bad hand from birth, and he’s finally got things going his way. Well, for the most part…
If you would have told Throttle a few months ago he was going to be on a reality show, he would have told you to get bent. Having cameras following him around and acting like he didn’t cuss every five words wasn’t what Throttle wanted or needed. But the Iron Fiends needed it, and the Iron Fiends were Throttle’s life.
You know what else Throttle doesn’t need? Dove. Sloane’s friend disappeared for over two weeks and then she just magically reappeared after the club turned heaven and hell upside down looking for her. Dove’s lips are sealed on where she was or what happened, but Throttle knows something is up. Something that could very well threaten the club he loves like family.
While the cameras roll, Throttle is trying to figure out just what Dove is up to while also trying to act like the perfect little biker. What Throttle doesn’t know is the Iron Fiends are headed straight for trouble, and Dove is the only one who can help them.
🏍Review🏍
Throttle is a loyal member of the MC and would do anything for his brothers even if that includes taking part in a reality show and playing nice with Dove even if he does not believe he can trust her.
Dove has returned to the MC, but she has also brought danger with her and she is being very secretive about where she has been and why she is back.
The banter is entertaining, and the surprises keep coming as Throttle and Dove find love under less-than-ideal circumstances.

I shouldn’t be alive.
I should’ve died in that plane crash.
Instead, I survived.
Thrived, even.
After all, I’m a rock star and a billionaire.

C.A. Harms is an avid romance and mystery reader. She’s always had a love for books, getting lost in writing and storytelling even as a young girl. She enjoys happy endings and HEA love stories.
She lives in Illinois and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. She holds an addiction for Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha’s and KitKat when she should really be focusing on water and maybe a fruit or two to make herself feel less guilty, but that feeling quickly passes…thankfully.
She is easy going, fun, and although she may seem like one of the quiet ones at first, you just wait until she gets to know you better…that quietness changes, fast.
I’ve always been a wild card – the first to start a fight on the ice, and the life of the party off it – but appearances can be deceiving.
Being traded to the Boston Rebels could not have come at a better time. With serious family obligations to fulfill and a contract renewal with a new hockey team on the line, I have no time for anything else. I return to Boston knowing I need to buckle down and focus on what really matters.
But the first night I’m back in town, I come face to face with Audrey, my college calculus tutor. We had a brief fling right before I was drafted into the NHL. Now, her five year old son is standing by her side, and I don’t need a tutor to do that kind of math.
Audrey insists she doesn’t want me involved in Graham’s life unless I can commit to being a dad. With everything else going on, this is the worst possible timing.
But every minute I spend with Graham and Audrey feels exactly right, and I’m left questioning everything I thought I wanted.
Because now my goals are shifting, and getting what I really want might come at the expense of the game I’ve given my entire life to.
Julia Connors is an Amazon Top 20 bestselling author of spicy sports romances. She grew up on the warm and sunny West Coast, but her first decision as an adult was to trade her flip-flops for snow boots and move to Boston. She’s been enjoying everything that New England has to offer for over two decades, and now that she’s acclimated to the snowy winters and finally found all the places to get good sushi and tacos, she has zero regrets. You can usually find her in front of her computer, but when she stops writing she’s most likely to be found outdoors, preferably with a pair of skis or snowshoes strapped to her feet in winter, or on a paddleboard in the summer.
She’s a plain, ordinary school teacher who scares him to death.
Captain Carson Taylor III is an excellent firefighter, independently wealthy and attracts women like moths to the proverbial flame. But he’s had loss in his life that makes him fearful of commitment. He’s not about to get close to anybody again.
Then he meets Grace Lansing, a woman who embodies everything her name implies and is totally wrong for him. No way will he let her get to him.
What happens when two people who have nothing in common fall in love? Is their relationship doomed?
Carson couldn’t believe he was so mad at Grace. Since she absconded from his house two days ago while he slept, feelings had seethed inside of him but he thought he’d successfully killed them. That was why he followed her outside the restaurant. She started toward the car and was about to get in when he said, “Not so fast.”
Turning to him, she asked in a harsh whisper, “What are you doing?”
He took her hand and pulled her aside, leaving the valet holding the handle of the door. Faith got out of the car and came around. “Grace?”
“I’m fine. I’ll be right there.” She searched his face and seemed puzzled. “What do you want from me?”
“Certainly not what I got.”
Her eyes narrowed. “I thought you got a lot that night.”
“You, too.”
“I admit I did. So?”
“How could you leave me after what we experienced together?”
“How could I not? You made it clear you only wanted a fling. I made it clear I wanted more.”
“You didn’t even give me a chance…” His voice trailed off. What was he saying? She was right. But this whole thing wasn’t. “It’s your birthday.”
“That’s a non sequitur. What does it matter?”
“I would have wanted to be with you when you turned thirty.”
She blew out a heavy breath. “Carson, you can’t have your cake and eat it too. You want something superficial and I don’t. You simply can’t have me under those circumstances.”
“I can’t…”
“I know. You can’t share yourself. I’m not trying to change you.”
“I’m conflicted, Grace.”
She lifted her hand and cradled his cheek. “I’m sorry. I hope you get what you want out of life.” She arched a brow. “I intend to.”
She walked back to the car. It drove away, leaving him bereft. There, there it was. He didn’t want to feel bereft. He didn’t want to feel anything.
🔥Review🔥
Due to a tragic loss in the past Carson only allows people so close before he distances himself and that includes his fellow firefighters. When he volunteers to speak to some students, he wasn’t prepared for the feelings he had for their teacher, but will he be willing to let her breakthrough the walls he has built around himself?
Grace is a woman with a big heart who always puts others first. She may be attracted to Carson, but she isn’t about to accept less than she deserves which means she wants all of him and not just the parts he is willing to share which causes a little turmoil along the way.
Grace was exactly who Carson needed in his life as she showed her that there was so much to life than the way he was living it if he would only open his heart to what they could have together.

💍Review💍 Emmy didn’t have the best example of love while she was growing up and she has now found out the same holds true when it comes to her boyfriend. Desperate to put some distance between them she needs to escape even if it means using the sports car of a professional football player to make it happen. The one thing she hadn’t planned on was for him to find her and demand payment for the car by way of a marriage of convenience.
Graham is a professional football who is at a crossroads in his life both personally and professionally. He wants to help his brother and if that means a marriage of convenience, he isn’t above a little arm twisting to ensure that happens. This marriage will allow both Emmy and Graham to help their families, what could possibly go wrong?
Neither Graham nor Emmy were looking for a relationship but between the hot chemistry, the fun times they shared and the feeling that were undeniable they were fighting a losing cause and I enjoyed seeing them realize it as well.
I can’t say I’ve ever wished for someone to be bitten right on the tip of their junk by a giant bull ant before, but Tanner Morgan—the only man capable of making me want to scream and cream at the same damn time—just might be the guy to change that.
He’s infuriating in every way possible, and out of all the massive changes in my life, I thought living next to him would be the worst thing I’d ever have to deal with.
I was wrong … so damn wrong.
Finding out what Colby Jacobs did to Tanner’s sister was sickening, but then realizing my best friend of thirteen years played a part in his crimes … I have no words for that kind of betrayal. Erica and Colby are dead to me, but apparently, I’m not quite as dead to them as I’d have liked to be.
“You’re under arrest.”
Those words have plagued me since the moment my hands were bound behind my back, and Addison’s secrets were betrayed to half the senior class. Being arrested for rape and attempted murder was not something I thought I’d ever have to deal with and I knew at that moment that this would be the biggest fight of my life.
My world is crumbling and I’m barely holding on. I’m not cut out for this. I don’t know which way is up, but I know one thing is for sure—there’s no way in hell I’m going down without a fight.

True love is…taking a wooden stake to the abdomen for the lady you met two days ago.
I was sitting in a cantina smoking a cigar when I first saw her.
Eyes like honey and a body that tempted me to do something so irrational it would have killed any other man.
Lucky for me, my handy dandy weapon of choice was close by.
But she was worth it.
And I found that I was especially fond of her abilities with a corkscrew.
How could it not be love at first sight?
Although, my teammates could have shown just a little more enthusiasm when I showed up.
But no, they were focused on the gaping hole in my side.
Oh, and the little fact that I hadn’t bothered to call.
Still, couldn’t a guy get a hug or even a pat on the shoulder?
Or…hey, is that your wife? She’s totally hot. How about some shawarma?
You know, it’s almost like they didn’t miss me.
I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

KATE I tore out of rehab to win my husband back. It’ll work, too. He just needs to see that I’m clean, that I’m on my feet again.
Until that happens, though, I’ve only got one guy in my corner—Beck, my husband’s best friend, who takes me in against his will and keeps me sane.
Living with Beck is easier than I expected. And fun. Except I’ve got a long history of wanting things I’m not supposed to want.
And Beck may be the most dangerous of them all.
BECK Kate had nowhere else to go—helping her out is the right thing to do. Though if she thinks the fact that she’s still married to my best friend means she’s safe walking around my house in nothing but a t-shirt…well, I’m somewhat less sure.
Because maybe Caleb could overlook her. Maybe Caleb could fail to notice her.
But from the moment we met, Kate’s been the only thing I could see. And no matter what she’s telling herself, she wants me just as badly as I want her.
