Meant To Be Immortal is a story that takes us back with the wonderful, laugh out loud Argeneau's and I am in love with this series and while I don't get the sense of pleasure like I did with the first half of the series, I definitely do get a fun kick out of these books and they are a wonderful distraction which is definitely needed. I will be honest though in stating that Meant To Be Immortal is a book that I didn't really enjoy like I expected, the pacing of the story started out slow for me, or maybe I just wasn't connecting to the chemistry with the characters, it just didn't fit right and so I personally just struggled being invested in this story, I wanted to be so badly but it just didn't happen until about half way through and then I couldn't wait to see how their romance would evolve.
Meant To Be Immortal is a romance that begins with our hero, Mac, who works as a blood doctor, in researching blood for his kind. But when he moves to a new house, his house ends up on fire and he saves himself by going into the bathtub and is then rescued by the emergency staff. But then he is assigned a police investigator, there is no one else to assign a safety protection to, and while CJ isn't a true police officer anymore, as she works in a different department, she is determined to get down to the bottom of the crime and see who was involved. CJ is in over her head with Mac, and in other ways Mac has no idea how to deal with a woman like CJ. But as they battle out their differences, a chemistry builds between them.
Meant To Be Immortal is a story with a grump and sunshine type of pairing. But our heorine is the grump of the pair and our hero Mac is Mr. Sunshine and daises. He is very upbeat and positive and always looking for the bright side and making CJ laugh. CJ, has had a rough life and has become bitter about the hand that she has been dealt and doesn't know how to deal with a man that is so gone for her and is trying to win her heart. She is baffled throughout most of the story, because she doesn't understand why he is chasing after her. She really doesn't even suspect what he is or that they are mates till towards the end. So you have this courtship happening, where CJ is pretty blind to most of the specifics. Which considering she is a "no relationship" gal, it actually makes sense, but you also feel for her because she doesn't truly comprehend the depth of the relationship that Mac is wanting from her.
Despite some of my issues with the first half of the book, I actually truly had a fun time with this one and was charmed by the whole story. We, of course, get plenty of fun shenanigans and I had adored seeing the interfering Argeneau family and all their courtship meddling that we have going on in this one. While its far from my favorite of the series, it was humurous and light and had a warm mystery to keep you guessing on the reveal of the villain.
Overall I found Meant To Be Immortal to be a likeable, endearing and playful addition to the series and eager to see where she takes the series in the future.
Law Man is the book I have been waiting for since book one, I was so hooked on Mitch Lawson who is a sexy police detective. But even though this is one of the books I was looking forward to I also found that it wasn’t quite as wonderful as books 1 and 2. Granted I enjoyed Law Man in many ways but the heroine really drove me nuts. She didn’t have much common sense and her most common phrases are “umm” and once we know more about her past, seeing how she is become more understandable once we understand her past but still she still drove me crazy most of the time.
Mara has had a crush on Mitch Lawson and been half in love with the police detective for over four years. And when her bathroom sink has problems, he comes over to fix it and sparks fly and before she knows it Mitch is going after her fully speed ahead. But Mara has a weird people meter and she views herself as a 2.5 and views Mitch as a 10.5 and way out of her league. She grew up in a trailer park and the way her mother and aunt treated her has had Mara look down on herself and she doesn’t have much confidence in herself. But Mitch sees her for the woman that she truly is. He think her system is nuts and crazy and that people are just that….human beings. some are good some are bad and some are in between. But when there is a problem with Mara’s young cousins, Mitch helps her out. Now Mara has to deal with handling Mitch, become an adoptive parent to two children whose father is in jail.
I really enjoyed this book even though the heroine was a bit “wonko” and trust me that is me being nice because she can be a little cookoo at times. But what I LOVED was the hero. Mitch is such a nice guy and really genuine and has a clean record. He is great with the kids and he understands Mara and is determined to win her over despite how crazy she is in the head and wants to make her understand how the real world really works and that no one is better than another. Of course she doesn’t fully understand until her mother and aunt make a reappearance and we see such a vast different from Mara and her family members. We see how much Mara has done for herself. She has a job she enjoys and makes decent money, she is honest and doesn’t even have a parking ticket. She pays her bills on time and even has a savings set aside for a rainy day. She is smart and loves music and candles and a very good cook. She is such a good person despite those she was born to who are truly horrible and I love seeing Mara come into herself and discover her true worth and seeing her become more confident and sure of who she really is and not the person her mother tried to make her believe she is.
Let’s see if I can tear that cocoon wide open and let my Mara fly.
Then we have the two children who are simply adorable. They haven’t had the best father though, who throws him money away on cigarettes and alcohol instead of making sure they have food. But we see things change when Mara and Mitch come to save them when they run away, and come to their home to see their father (Mara’s cousin) high on drugs and discover he is a drug dealer and has messed with some bad people including the russian mob and that if Mara hadn’t taken in the kids when she did, that something worse would have happened to them. We see how strong Mara and the children love each other and they cling to Mitch. We see these four become a true family, step by step they resolve the problems and issues and become stronger together.
“I’ll go gentle, baby,” he whispered against my lips. “I promise. You’ll always be safe with me.” Oh. My. “Mitch,” I breathed. His soulful eyes held mine captive as he repeated firmly, “Always.”
Law Man is a story that is packed with vibrant emotion and feels that you feel deep down to the soul, it’s a tale of healing, trust and personal growth!!! RIVETING from beginning to end.
Motorcycle Man is the final and concluding book of the Dream Man series and my heart is SO sad because Tack and Tyra's book is over and no more dream man sexiness :( I just had a blast with these books and it should mean something when I read the series in order and can't function reading anything else. Kristen Ashley has won my heart AGAIN!!! These books were all amazing and I loved seeing the series come together in Motorcycle Man. Even though this isn't my favorite book of the series ( I might have had super high expectations after reading the Chaos series with Tack and Tyra) ---I believe that book one is still my favorite. However, I had a delightful time with Motorcycle Man and I didn't want to put this book down.
“Uh… you pledged your troth to me, Tack. It’s not like you don’t know I get feisty.”
“I pledged my troth,” Tack repeated.
“Yeah.”
“You just said I pledged my troth.”
“Yes, that’s what I just said.”
“What’s a troth?”
“I don’t know, I just know you pledged it.”
Tyra and Tack meet at a bar at a biker party, sparks fly and they have hot sex and then Tack practically kicks Tyra out of his bed. Which is typical of your badass alpha biker male but Tyra is emotionally hurt because she has quickly fallen for Tack. Which I understand, some people can't do the wham bam thank you ma'am one night stands (I am one of them, I get attached way too easily) so I understand that side of the heroine. Then she goes in to get a job as a office manager and who is her new boss....yep Tack and she knows she is in trouble because working for the man who broke her heart isn't the easiest. And Tack is a jerk to her at first, ordering her around and yeah I wanted to kick him at times because he is so mean at times. But then there is a slow turn around. He wants Tyra and will fight for her. (My favorite quote below....try NOT to cry....I dare you)
"You may not know this baby, but some men have dream women too."
“That movie you made me watch, first time at your house. Love and redemption. You said, ‘the most beautiful stories ever told are the most difficult to take’. You said that, Red. Right out. And I knew if you got that, when it was later and I shared my shit with you, you’d get me. I never thought my story was beautiful. I thought it was shit. But you said that and when you did, I saw it. The ride is not over but if I can keep my Club together and find a sweet, feisty woman who’s got my back and enough to her that she’ll stay there, holding me up not dragging me down, I figure I’d find my way to beauty eventually. And I’d find absolution because I’d know, I earned the love of that woman, a woman who’s got so much to her it’ll take years to dig down and find the heart of her, that would be my reward.”
Then we get to the sweet and delicious parts of the book where Tack goes after Tyra, proving his sincerity to her and introducing her to his children. And just seeing how much his kids Rush and Tabby just endear themselves to Tyra was so endearing. I loved seeing her relationship with the kids (who are in their late teens). But then we have the ex wife of Tack and she is horrid especially in how she treats her daughter. But Tyra is so bad ass when its needed and yeah you cross her or the people that she loves, watch out because she will kick your ass. I loved Tyra so much, and after seeing her character in the Chaos books, it was so fun to read her book and see her spirit and tenacity and what strong will that she has. She is the perfect match for Tack in many ways, she stands her ground especially when its something she firmly believes in. She learns how to "handle" her man and that loving someone isn't easy. We see some villains come into play and some we don't see coming and we see all four men come together when the Russian Mob comes after Tack and Tyra. Despite the fact that they all have different agendas, their women are very close, and they all have respect for each other and seeing them work together as if they were brothers was EPIC and we see this bond grow throughout the four books and loved seeing it in the conclusion.
All I can say is that this book is truly amazing packs quite a punch. What I adore about these two is their sassy interactions and the fun bantering and I adore the development of their relationship and seeing this family really come together during both the good times and especially the bad times. They close ranks and when some bad stuff happens, Tack and Tyra and the two kids really show their true colors and what family is ALL about and I loved seeing it in this book. I know that children aren't for everyone, but Rush and Tabby are older and more mature although they are still teenagers so they have their moments hehe but Tack and Tyra handle them so well.
We do see a growing plot dealing with the Russian Mob and seeing the ex wife show her true colors and seeing Tyra come face to face with what it means to be an old lady and the good points and the not so easy ones. Tyra isn't sure she can be the biker lady that Tack really needs, but she proves that she fits and the club brothers show her that she is as much a part of them as Tack is. She is so devoted to Tack and his family and even his brothers, she will fight for them and defend them even if she doesn't agree with their ways.
Life’s a roller coaster. Best damn ride in the park. You don’t close your eyes, hold on and wait for it to be over, babe. You keep your eyes open, lift your hands straight up in the air and enjoy the ride for as long as it lasts.
Overall I found Motorcycle Man to be a hit for me, KA has done wonders with this book and I found Tack and Tyra's story to be truly an poignant and sassy romance that will leave you laughing and packed with good feels!! SENSATIONAL!
Christine Feehan is a brilliant author in the paranormal world, but now she has started to mix up a bit of paranormal with contemporary and I am loving this new MC romance series that she has created. It does have some paranormal elements of a sort but there is a stronger contempoary feel to these books and I am loving them. And MC romance fans will adore these books. I have been waiting on Vengeance Road for a year and it was well worth the wait for sure. I had such a blast with this book and it was just as good as the first book, it has a different array of a set up, but its brilliantly done. Now this book isn’t perfect, but this one worked for me in every way.
Breezy Simmons fell in love with VP “Steele” when he and some of his brothers went undercover in her club that she grew up with and he was the first man to treat her with kindness and respect. She had been sold off to men since she was fourteen years old. But then Steele broke her heart and she found herself pregnant. She left her father’s MC to have a fresh start with her son. Its been three years and her father has kidnapped her son and will only return him if Breezy will go undercover in the Torpedo Ink MC, but she refuses to do that and she knows that her son is in great danger because he will be scared and her father and his men are the type to take it out on him. So she goes to leave a letter at the Torpedo Ink MC clubhouse and ends up being chased by the members, because they recognize her and Steele refuses to give up the woman he hasn’t ever been able to forget. He had to give her up but now he will stop at nothing to convince her to give them a second chance and rescue their son. But Breezy doesn’t trust Steele, or her own heart who has never stopped feeling for Steele, but she is stuck on how much he damaged her before and doesn’t know if she could survive it a second time.
Baby you're reading the situation completely wrong. I know you don't need saving. I do. I need you to save me.”
This was a book that packs a wild punch and wow this is the type of book that will keep you up all night reading, such a page turner, I woke up in the middle of my sleep cycle, bought this book and yeah 2 hours later I had read it and it was DIVINE. I had such a blast with this book and this type of “secret baby” set up trope is the type that I really enjoy. Now I won’t say that everything in this book was perfect because it wasn’t, but it was full of everything that you need in a romance and their story was so beautifully portrayed.
The style of how this book was written was simply perfect for the mood I was in, there wasn’t much in the way of flashbacks (even though this is a second chance) but we learn what happens through inner dialogue for the most part and I really prefer that style in romances to be honest. This story will grab your attention from the very first chapter and I was fascinated with how this book just makes you want to cheer these characters on...even the Torpedo Ink club. Now there are some difficult factors put into play. We have a three year old boy being kidnapped, a second chance trope with a mix of secret baby tropes, then we have the hero and heroine who have suffered some tragic trauma and neither of them really had love as children. If you are unaware of the set up of the Torpedo Ink club, we have a group of brothers and two women who have closer bonds than most blood families have. They were all taken from their homes when they were children and put in a grueling school, 200 children were put into it and only 18 came out and they fought back for the right to live and relied on each other and now formed their own MC and protect each other and go out seeking to protect children in the child slave trade. Our heroine grew up in a MC, but it was a brutal one. She learned to obey and never question anything because her father and his LT would beat her for as long as she could remember, and then she was sold and raped by various members of the MC until she met Steele. The only man she has ever felt true passion and emotion for.
Control is an illusion, Steele. I learned that a long time ago. It doesn't matter who appears to have it. We really only can control ourselves. We have choices. You were my choice.”
The romance that builds between these two is so endearing and there is a focus os sex especially in the beginning, they have always had explosive chemistry and haven’t seen each other in three long years. So we see them trying to figure out where they stand in the relationship, to reconnect, to discover the love and learn about forgiveness and forging a new life for themselves and their son. Its not an easy road for either of them, and they both learn the value of trust and honesty with having this second chance.
We get some fun times with the club and seeing the members interact with each other and how much they support one another and its so amazing to see this happen for them. I love the sense of family even though they aren’t blood related, there is such a close knit bond between them all and looking forward to seeing whose book will be next!
Overall I found Vengeance Road to a be a 2019 Favorite, a story of loss, redemption, and that love does conquer all in this brilliantly written MC love story!!!
Carissa Teodora always dreamed of falling in love, getting married and being a mother and living a HEA. But her world has turned upside down. The man she loved cheated on her multiple times, and they got divorced while she was still pregnant. Her ex pays hardly any child support, and as he is a lawyer and comes from a family of attourney's, she was forced to only have half custody of her son. Carissa works hard to support themselves on very little. But she will do anything for her little boy. But then her life turns around when she gets a flat tire, and a biker comes and helps her out. He seems familiar but she can't pinpoint on where she knows him from. As Carissa learns more about "Joker" she only finds herself more intrigued. Especially when he starts to pursue her with the Chaos Motorcyle Club pitching in to help her out. But Carissa isn't used to anyone helping her out, and tries to give back what she can while trying to learn Joker and the relationship they have. But will Carissa be able to handle the truth about Joker's true identity and be the woman he needs?
The Hero
Carson Steele, may be a bad boy and a loner but is truly a miracle when you see who he truly is and the life he came from. Carson's mother abandoned him when he was just a baby, and his father was cruel, beat him often and practically treated him like a slave. Carson was never considered one of the popular kids in school, but there was one girl by the name of Carissa, he fell in love with. Because she saw him as a person and not the social outcast. He always wanted her but knew he could never have her. As soon as he could, he left him hometown and searched for his own happiness in the Chaos MC. He found a brotherhood, a home and a place where he truly belonged. Now Joker was such a fantastic hero. He is blunt, charismatic, charming at times but one hell of a alpha male. He takes care of his own. But he also has vulnerabilities which I found so charming. Joker is a hero that has gone through hell and back and come out on top and doesn't even realize it.
The Heroine
Carissa Teodora, grew up in a loving home. Her mother died of cancer when she was a teenager, and her sister was killed in a brutal accident when they were kids. Carissa only wanted a family and a home to love. She never dreamed that the man she thought she loved, would betray her, use her and pull out all the stops. Carissa is willing to fight with every breath for her son who is still a baby. But she knows that she may lose him for good if her ex has his way. When she discovers Joker and the Choas Club, her life alters in a way she doesn't expect. Carissa is hardworking, sweet and bubbly. She has her own way of doing things. Carissa was quite refreshing, and I loved her from the beginning. She stands her ground on certain things which I loved especially when it came to Joker.
“What the fuck are you doin’?” he asked… “That’s twenty cents,” I returned. “Huh?” he grunted. “Regular curse words are a nickel,” I told him. “Bad curse words are a dime. Everyone knows the f-word is a bad one and since, starting now, you’re paying me every time you curse, that’s twenty cents you owe me… I’ll give it to charity or something. The way you cuss, we’ll probably be able to build a homeless shelter in a week.”
I liked the way she brings a freshness to the series I wasn't expecting. Her personality is so open and loveable.
Plot and Story Line
In Ride Steady, I was blown away by how much I adored this book. I mean truly and honestly, this might be my favorite book of the series. I can't express enough how much I loved this book and seeing these colorful characters from the Chaos MC. I will say that I think Kristen Ashley has written one of the best MC romance series ever!!
And that was what it was all about. The meaning of life. Why every person on the planet was there. They got what they gave and then they gave what they got, and it was the measure of you if you could endure the shit that came with life and still find it in you to focus on the good and put that out there.
I can never get enough of her, and she did a fantastic job with Ride Steady. And As a plus we see the workings of the club, and seeing more involvement of their enemy that adds a wrinkle into the plot which I truly liked seeing. We also get an introduction into some new characters that I believe are connected to her other series she has been working on so that makes me super excited. I also loved seeing the various relationship we see in this book. I loved the way this author pulls me in emotionally with the connection between these characters and boy were they fun.
When I closed the door and turned to the guys, I saw they were all leaned slightly to the right, heads tipped, eyes on my behind or, in the case of the lanky guy, my legs. I felt warmth hit my cheeks and called, “Is Joker around?” They all came to and looked to my face.
“She brought him pie,” the lanky guy muttered. “Fuckin’ brilliant,” the greasy jeans guy also was muttering. “Does Joker even like pie?” the coverall guy was only slightly muttering.
But my heart squeezed. Didn’t he like pie? Didn’t everyone like pie? Oh no! What if he didn’t like pie?
“Does Joker like anything?” greasy jeans guy asked. “I bet, today, he’s gonna like butterflies,” lanky guy noted. “Today, I like butterflies,” greasy jeans guy declared.
The story sets off with getting a flashback to the past, when Carissa and Carson "Joker" first meet and seeing Carson's childhood. Which isn't pretty at all. He goes through some rough times, and my heart ached for this little boy who grew up into an honest and hardworking man despite his horrible upbringing. Now Carissa had a whole different childhood. She suffered pain, but in a different way. She has lost most of her family except her father, and was betrayed and set aside by the man she gave her whole life to. I loved her inner strength. She has a heart of gold, and hasn't become bitter over what has happened, just keeps fighting for the life she knows she deserves. There are secrets that Joker holds back from Carissa, since she doesn't recognize him at all. He plans on keeping it that way. We see these two form a relationship with each other, start to learn each other and they go through some ups and downs.
“I’ve loved her since high school, man. She means everything to me. You gotta drag her down, that’ll suck, but I’ll pick her back up. You gotta rip her apart, I’ll fuckin’ hate watchin’ it, but I’ll put her back together.”
But we also see how much they need each other, and the romance that forms is so tender yet passionate. I kept wanting more and more of these two, because wow----they are an awesome couple together. They just FIT so well together and I loved seeing that balance.
The Cover
What a cover!!! I love the blue and gold tones of it,

Ride Steady is a truly magnificent romance that will take you on a joy ride in the sunset. It reveals the truth tests of life and love and fighting for what matters most!! A SEXY AND TOUCHING ROMANCE!!
“Yeah, Carrie,” he answered. “It’s you. It’s always been you. It’ll always be you. Fuckin’ always.”

Where they fight and love for each other. Then he met a young and sweet woman, Millie, who stole his heart instantly. He never felt a stronger connection to anyone. High became a prestigious member of the Chaos Club, he fell into sync with everything about it. But when he lost Millie, High went through the toughest phase of his life. And even though he did remarry but only out of duty when the girl he had sex with got pregnant, he stayed with her for years and had two little daughters that are the apple of his eye. He would do anything for his kids. Now he is divorced, and when Millie walks back through his life...he is furious at her. The anger and pain come all back to him. At first I wasn't sure how I felt about High, because I didn't care for the brutal way he treats Millie at first. Wow, does he have some issues to work through. He is downright cruel to her. But that blows over, and we see the real man beneath all that anger and I LOVED him. He is a fabulous hero who fights for those he loves the most.
“Millie, I was given one good thing in my life, the family I was born into. I found one good thing, my Club .... But in all my life, I only earned one good thing. That’s you.”
The Heroine
Millie Cross has a passion for music and live and has a breathless energy. Millie loves her family, but when she meets Logan her world is changed. She finds desire and love with Logan. Even though he is a bad boy biker, he is tender and charming with her. Millie fell in love with Logan hard and fast but that love never died. She soaked up those precious three years with him. But when she learns a truth, a truth that would devastate Logan and his dreams, she did the only thing she could for the one person she would give her life for.....leave him and make sure he found that dream. Millie's life became dull and void, she existed for twenty years. She made a event planning business for herself, created a beautiful home, became a loving aunt to her niece and nephew. However, she never truly lived. Because when Logan left so did everything vibrant within her leave. After twenty years, she still yearns for Logan, to find some peace and happiness. Millie was a heroine that at first I had a hard time understanding her reasons. Because they aren't revealed for a while. But when you learn the truth about her reason for leaving Logan....your heart breaks.
“I gave you up, walking through fire to do it but I did it,” I told him. “I did it in the end. I gave you everything,”
We see the hell she has gone through, and even though it didn't break her, she isn't the same. But I felt in some ways I could really relate with her. I understood why she did what she did, because sometimes you have to make sacrifices for those you love.
Plot and Story Line
Walk Through Fire is an intense and emotional roller coaster that will bring tears to your eyes and laughter to your heart in those special moments. I think this is the most emotion I have ever felt in a contemporary romance before and this author really works her readers through some difficult issues. This story starts out at the present, but through the first 1/3 of the book, we see flashbacks. From their first meeting, first date and when they start living together. We see how special their bond is and I loved these flashbacks. Because I felt they were vital to the story. Most times I don't care for them. But in Walk Through Fire I felt that they were necessary. You see the depth of their love for each other those first three years. As we are taken to the present, we see that they each still love each other, but won't admit to it because the pain it causes them both.
“I'm done walking through fire for you, High! ... I'm done not because I'm done but because there's nothing left of me to burn. You have it all. You've always had it all! I gave up everything so you can have it all! Please! God! Leave me to my nothing.”
Thus we have the cavalry, the women that are loyal to the Chaos MC. Tyra, Lanie, Tabby, Elvira and Cherry. Elvira is awesome in this book, wow I LOVE her. But Tyra, sees the pain in Millie's eye and even though her man, leader of Chaos forbids it, she gathers her girls and tries to bring these two back together. She sees something in Millie, that the brothers of Chaos can't see, but she knows that they must fight for Millie.
What Millie and Logan go through is quite heartbreaking, and the tension is extreme at times. But when Millie unexpectedly blurts out the truth, not only in front of High but many other brothers of the club, I almost wanted to cry. I never expect that truth, but then everything for the reader becomes clear about Millie. You see her reasons, understand it and see that she gave up everything for the man she loved and lost and it tore me to shreds. Wow can Kristen Ashley write a story to reel you in with every range of emotion. Then things start to fall into place for Logan and Millie,as they do come to terms with the past and embrace the future by each others side, the fight doesn't end there. Both Millie and Logan have changed over the years, and they have one more battle to fight. Winning over Logan's two girls. Now this is one tough battle.
“You might not believe that but my heart breaks for you, what you want you can’t have and learning that so young. It’s tough, the toughest lesson you can learn in life. So tough, people a lot older than you don’t learn it until it’s too late. But sometimes we gotta let go of what we want when it isn’t to be had, find a new dream and work for that. I want that dream for your dad. And I hope you’ll find some way to want that with me so we can work together and give it to him.”
And I love seeing Logan and Millie reconnect with each other, and seeing Millie learn to love these two girls like Logan does. Its not easy though, and they will both have to walk through fire to get their much deserved HEA...but they obtain it. Whew what a story, this book has 100% endeared me to this author forever.
“I love you,” he declared. “Loved you then. Love you now. Never quit lovin’ you in a way I know I never will. You were it for me, the only one, the only woman I ever loved, and you never quit bein’ it for me.”
Narration
Kate Russell is superb....she is talented and totally perfect for this story. I loved her inflection of emotion and drama as she portrays the plot and the characters so well along with the emotion of the story itself. A Must for Audio lovers.

“You love a man, Millie, you believe in him, you take him as he is. You go on his journey with him no matter what happens, even if that means you have to walk through fire.”
My Fallen Saint is the first book in the newest series by this author here. I have to be honest that I have been slacking when it comes to reading this authors books. I have been so bad at reading her. I have missed her style and this book is only evidence of that. Now I also think that I was in just the right mood to want to read this style of a story. There is a plenty of angst that is involved in this one here. So fair warning on that but this author always does a superb job in describing such great tension between a couple.
In My Fallen Saint we have a story of two people that once had a love affair, when they were both young and innocent in many ways. But then Devlin Saint had to make a choice and had to leave and that included the woman he loved. Now Ellie is older and more mature, and ready to take on this Mr. moneybags with all his fame and social attention.....she knows this is the man she has never been able to forget and the one man that broke her heart. But as Saint and Ellie are forced to face up to their past so are they forced to come to peace about what happened between them and try to find a way towards their happy ever after they both deserve to have.
My Fallen Saint is the first book in this couple's trilogy and first I want to say that this one doesn't have a cliffhanger, its ending is more of a "Happy For Now" type of feel to it. Which will only encourage those looking for a HEA to read the whole trilogy (which I am eager to do soon) I really liked seeing the interchanges between these two. And normally I am not really a fan of journalist/reporter heroines, but I really didn't mind Ellie. I loved her strength and resilience and capacity of forgiveness where Saint is concerned. There is such trauma and torment that both of these characters have suffered through but I enjoyed seeing them work through the secrets that are between them in order to find and carve a better future for each other.
Overall I am highly eager to see what lays ahead of them in the future and what they will need to overcome because knowing this author, I know it will be a struggle for both of these characters.
Beneath These Lies was a captivating book and this book throws you for a loop because we see how Meghan March places an element in the story I was never going to expect her to throw in….a bit of a love triangle and boy was it a whopper. Any y’all know that I can’t stand love triangles and even though this one was present, you obviously know who the main couple actually is. But it is sad for Hennessey, who is solid and a good man through and through (and yes he does have a book, the last book in the series—review below for it) but its not quite his time yet. This story features a mob boss “Rix” and a classy lady who owns and runs an art gallery and also is a talented artist herself. But she gets in a bind in trying to find her friend and co worker, and this bind puts a bulls eye on her back and Rix is determined to win her over. And while it does have some darker elements at times, I truly love the ending and the way the story evolves. Stunning in only the way that Meghan March delivers.
THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS, SO FAIR WARNING, UPON READING THE REVIEW. Beneath These Scars is the fourth installment in the Beneath series by Meghan March. Beneath These Scars is a story that has much more angst that I have even seen from this author but I had such a fun time with it and even though I wasn’t quite in the mood for this level of angst and bantering I eventaully adapted because …well…its MEGHAN MARCH ….do I EVEN need to say any more than that? LOL I am such a sucker for her writing style and the way that she writes a good romance and I always get such a kick out of her books and I definitely got such a fun one out of this one here.
In Beneath These Scars is a story that takes our two characters who have this sexy chemistry but well its really unrequited love here. Our heroine, Yve so doesn’t care for our hero….Lucas. She thinks he is arrogant cocky and rich and even though she wants to eat him sexually she doesn’t see any depths to him but as their chemistry builds, a secret from Yve’s past is back to haunt her, and Lucas has a fight on his hands on proving to Yve of his devotion and sincerity to her. But their road isn’t going to be easy, misunderstandings arise, danger erupts and their love will be tested in ways they can’t imagine…
This woman pushed all my buttons, taunted me, challenged me, mocked me. And the perverse son of a bitch that I was, I wanted more.
Beneath These Scars was such a delightful book and I couldn’t get enough of this one here. I will say that I got a hoot of an entertaining time with this couple because they definitely go at it and the sexual tension between these two is delicious. This is one of the true talents of Meghan March, is the way that she builds this tension and I just LOVED it. At first, boy these two really struggle with their animosity for each other and its pretty lively for sure. But what is done so well is their chemistry building into something more lasting and full of more depths that you expect from this author. Every SINGLE time I read this author, I am always bowled over by her talent in crafting such a masterpiece and she does no difference with this one. And another plus, her writing is so engaging. She offers such quick easy reads that you can easily get behind.
“Holding you,” he replied, and pulled me into his arms. “So you can break and not worry about falling apart. Just for today, Yve, let me hold you together.”
I really found it interesting especially what happens with the heroine who has suffered an abusive relationship in the past. She is not like your average heroine you expect to find, she is a bit crazy, fierce, determined and driven. I loved her personality and even though I couldn’t relate with her on some levels, she touched this reader in a way that was unexpected. She has such a fighting spirit and even though she could learn to swallow her pride a bit more, I did love seeing her journey through that experience and open herself to Lucas. Now Lucas was a fun hero, yes he can be arrogant…but what billionaire male isn’t??!! hehe I think it just comes with that, but he has so many hidden depths to him and when we start seeing him being more revealed with each chapter, you fall in love with him even more deeply.
Overall I found Beneath These Scars to be a vitalizing real romance that brings unique depths of emotion and intrigue that pulls you into a story that is gravitating in its beauty of feels
