Three years previous, Dash and Annie met on Cancun and had three beautiful nights together. Annie and Dash went their separate ways, even though they both developed strong feelings for each other. Now Annie has a two-year-old son, a young vibrant boy who is changing right before her eyes. He is sick, weakening, and not the upbeat and energetic boy he has always been. Annie is a genetic scientist, but in order to conduct the right research, she needs to know of Dah's heritage and any anomaly's in his family line. After searching, she finds him. She is afraid of what she will find, and what Dash's reaction will be to finding out he is a father. Dash is pack leader, and after his father's recent death, he is next in line to become the leader of all packs. He will have to marry in order to have the right connections. But when a woman of his past comes back in his life, his loyalties are split because he has always loved Annie, even though he knows he can never fully have her. But there are secrets, betrayals, dangers and hidden agenda's that will bring these two souls together, and only by trusting in each other and the love they have will they find the answers that can secure their future.
Heir To The Pack is the first of a new series by Laura Welling. This is the first time I have had the opportunity to read her and I really had a blast with this one. Even though the "secret baby" trope isn't my favorite, Welling did fantastic with implementing it into this plot line. It is hard to let the father know he has a child if you can't find him right? Eventually, our heroine does, but it takes her quite a bit of time. This story brings us into a jumble of pack politics that can make your head spin. I actually loved having a darling two-year-old boy involved in the mix of this romance. He was charming and adorable and reading this book made me want kids. He really added charm and energy to the story. I loved the way that Dash responds to him, and it was interesting seeing the development of this plot.
Oh boy did this book take me into a whirlwind of events that kept me so intrigued from the first to the last pages. We do have a bit of a few mysteries that are involved into the mix and it adds some facets to the story that you don't see at first. But as the story progresses we see how this is so much more than just a romance. We see grit and determination and other qualities that you can't help but admire. The characters are what make this story a fantastic read. We have the main characters, Annie's mother (who is colorful and outrageous but so fun), then we have pack members, Dash's best friend and oh man I want to read his story so badly. We have a boy who is cursed and will die if they don't find a way to free him of it. We have some secret enemies that aren't whom you expect and the "villain" of the story will shock you to the core when you find truths you didn't see coming. And the obvious "you assume" villains....ends up delighting this reader.
This is a story that is packed with so many various aspects that flow smoothly together. I was impressed with the love that develops even more between these two as they reconnect and try to find a way to save their son. This plot twist really adds something more to their relationship. We see how it tests them in the worst and best ways....it makes them stronger, fighters and not giving up until they find a way to be a family together. A truly remarkable love story that kept me animated all the way through.
I really love the pose here...its sensual but tender too. Love the big moon in the background and the hint of a paranormal theme to the story.
Heir To The Pack is a poignant romance that is full of emotional depth, tough choices, strength in overcoming desperate odds, and finding friends in odd places. TRULY MAGICAL AND HEARTWRENCING!!

In An Heiress For All Seasons, is a wonderful romance that just captivates you from the first chapter. For those of you who have yet to read a book by Sophia Jordan---YOU are missing out on one hell of a ride!! Sophie Jordan is a personal favorite, and I know when I am reading one of her books that its going to be everything I expect from a romance and more!! She has such talent in weaving a story that has characters that will captive you and leave you begging for more. In this short Christmas novella, we have a story of of a reluctant heroine. Violet is American, and her mother has dragged her to England to find a husband. Violet already loves another, but when she meets Will, the Earl of Moreton she knows she is in danger. Will is not your typical Aristocrat, but from the moment of their first meeting, Will knows that he must have Violet...she is the first women to intrigue him outside the bedchamber. But courting her isn't a easy road, and definitely has its bumps. But when Will and Violet are stranded in a cottage during a storm...passion overrules the mind and soon they will be consumed with a fierce desire neither of them have imagined. This was such a fun and sweet romance!! I had such fun with it, the only problem I had...it was too short! :( When I am reading Sophie Jordan I am always left craving more, because her stories are so delightful...and this one is no different!! I could barely put this one down....I just adored both characters. Will was such a delight...a lovely hero I wouldn't mind stealing a few kisses with. He definitely knows how to stir passion and he has such a intriguing personality that I almost wished I could just jump right into the story and have him all to myself. Violet...well I liked her and then I didn't. She won me over in the end, but I was never able to fully connect with her character. I think I liked her more in the beginning than in the later half. The story was sexy fun and definitely is one I would highly recommend, especially if your looking for a short holiday interlude!! TANTALIZINGLY SWEET AND ROMANTIC!!

Hell or High Water is the first book in Julie Ann Walker's newest and thrilling series "Deep Six" I honestly had no clue what I was getting into when reading this book but it was fantastic and I have only a few issues and everything else was SUPERB. I love adventure romances and boy this ticked off all my adventure needs and I just love a good treasure hunt. And then we add in six ex SEALs, a second chance romance with a spy for the CIA and some chemical weapons to get out of the hands of some nasty terrorists and boy it draws you in.
There were so many fun times to be had in this book and I really just loved how this book was written. I don't think this narrator was the best for the job, at least not to engage the listener right away. So I do wish it had engaged me a bit more in the beginning, or it could have been the actual story, I am not actually sure which, to be honest. But I almost put this book down because I wasn't sure I would be into the book but after a couple of chapters, I was into it. I really did love seeing this book develop and all the plot twists that we see. This story is pretty sad at times, especially when we learn what happens with their lost team member who was killed in a mission that changed all their lives and where the men made a promise to each other that is fundamental to the storyline. But the romance was delightful and loved seeing these two find their way back to each other and discovering that love is worth fighting for. Simply a delight to listen to from beginning to end, and I can't wait to see what this author does for this series in the near future!!!

Nate Weller also known as "Ghost" has loved Ali from afar but he knows she could never forgive him for what he had to do and withdraws from her. Ali Morgan, never thought that she would be going to the one man who practically ignores her. Her brothers best friend Nate. But when she gets mugged and being followed, she knows that her life is in danger. So she goes to Nate and the Knights for help. She knows that they do way more than just run a motorcycle muscle shop. But when they uncover a plot of an enemy that will prevent them from finding the truth, Ali and Nate join forces to track down the information her brother left behind. Their feelings for each other become awakened as the danger to them escalates...
Nate "Ghost" Weller is a brooding hero. He is quiet and mostly "grunts" in communication. Nate has just lost his best friend to torture and Nate still carries guilt and grief over what happened to the man who was like his own brother. Nate has always wanted Ali, but she is "forbidden fruit" to him. First she is his best friends younger sister and that is a line you don't cross. Nate was a swoon worthy hero. I have such a weakness for those silent broody types, and he makes the best of it. His way of communication are pretty hilarious. He only talks when he has to.
Ali has always loved Nate, but he has always kept himself distant from her. Ali is still grieving for the loss of her brothers life. Ali is a school teacher and when she knows that her life is in danger she knows that it has to do with Grigg (her brother) and with Grigg gone now, she goes to the only people who are her family....the Black Knights, and more specifically Nate. Ali knows that despite the distance that is between them, he is the only help she has now. Ali is such a heroine that you can get behind. She is upbeat, and happy and boy she has hidden depths. She can handle a gun just as well as the guys and love her tenacity and courage she displays.
In Hell On Wheels, we have a intense and thrilling romance that Julie Ann Walker introduces us to. Now this is the first time I have picked this author up and I can tell y'all right now its not going to be the last. I had such a blast with this book, it had me on the edge the whole dang time. It sets off with Ali being attacked, and she feels she has no choice but go to the only people that her brother Grigg considered family, the Black Knights. Now the Black Knights are a group of ex military men, who go on special op missions for the government. They do what needs to be done and take orders from high up the chain. They are still trying to recover from the loss of their own, Grigg who along with Nate were captured and tortured. Nate still bears quite a load of guilt from what happened especially since he couldn't save his closest friend. Nate is a hero you just want to hug. He is a bit withdrawn from the others, very broody but yeah sexy as hell. The story is pretty intense at times and what I admired about this book was the plot. I love a good romantic suspense, and Walker did a fabulous job with this one. I loved the development and the intrigue that the reader is introduced into. We also get to see the commadarie between the members of the Black Knights. I am excited to see what the author does in future books.
Love the sexy appeal of this cover, I love the male model's stance with the motorcycle in the backdrop.
Hell On Wheels is a thrilling ride of adventure, suspense and desire that will blow your mind!! EXHILARATING

“Uh-huh. Now Ali was beginning to get the picture. Riding backseat on a bike like Phantom was better than Mr. Blue any day. Not to mention the highly erotic act of wrapping one's legs around the man you loved.”

Hell Breaks Loose, the second book in this fiery hot contemporary series Sophie Jordan has cooked up starts out with a bang and some humor. I have so much love for this author, but she has blown me away with this series. In Hell Breaks Loose, we have our heroine. She is the president's daughter and doesn't have the life you would expect. So she escapes her secret service detail wanting some adventure and freedom. And finds herself being kidnapped by criminals, but there is one man that seems to care about protecting her. Our hero, managed to escape prison and wanting revenge against the man that sent him there. I know captive romances aren't for everyone but this one was done so well and I am not ashamed to admit it. i know its not a book that everyone would love to read, but I adored the chemistry and its not what you expect. What impressed me about this was seeing how this pair fitted together when they work out the kinks. They are both from different worlds, but somehow they fit just right for each other. A RIVETING ROMANCE!!!

I found this one to be a interesting read, and while it wasn't my favorite paranormal type of read, I found it gravitating in the plot format of this book which is what kept me most engaged. I am not sure exactly my biggest issues with this book, but it seems very uneven in the pacing, there was not much smooth in the transitions. And I would call this also a dark paranormal romance and yeah the dark parts of this book was very dark in some ways and I honestly think I just wasn't in the right mood for this book. I did enjoy the romance especially in the later half of the book, seeing this couple fight for each other and for rights as individuals for freedom and self determination which wonderful and one of my favorite aspects. Overall I liked this one and very eager for more books in the series.
