Synopsis

Brotherhood before blood. 
It's that simple. 
Until, the brotherhood betrays blood... 
On the surface, the Black Shamrocks MC is exactly what an outlaw motorcycle club should be. Unapologetically brutal. Unquestionably ruthless. Unwaveringly loyal. The brotherhood appears rock solid, allied and impenetrable. Their various blood ties only serve as a reminder of the generations of kinship that came before them.     

Dig a little deeper and the illusion begins to shatter. Beneath a well-cultivated facade of unity, old tensions simmer and new alliances are created. Game plans are being put into action. Legacies are being secured. Deals with the devil are being made.     

While these betrayals are being executed with cold efficiency, a new love is born. It's a love that those undermining the club never saw coming. It's a love that threatens to derail the upcoming coup. It's a love that could unite them all and stop evil in its tracks if it's allowed to prosper.

The bonus extras included in the box set:

Five full length novels - Seizing Control, Making Choices, Seeking Redemption, Tempting Fate, and Finding Nirvana 
Two novellas - Soothing Suffering and Conquering Circumstances 
A never-before-released story - Craving Control is a 40,000-word story from Brendan Taylor's point-of-view. The villain finally gets to have his say! 
Extended epilogues for all surviving characters at the end of Finding Nirvana. This takes place six months after Finding Nirvana finishes and features the Christmas wedding of a much-loved character. 
And, last but not least, the prologue and first chapter to Conan, Black Shamrocks MC: First Generation. The first book in the spin-off series will be released in February 2017 and features the parents of the MC members everyone met in the Black Shamrocks MC series.

A McKenzie Ridge Novel – Book Two

Stephanie St. Klaire

Firefighter Colton Sparks is beautiful, brawny, and lonely.  A total man’s man with testosterone driven tendencies smothered in a tough guy exterior.  

He’s every woman’s dream; they just aren’t his.  A die-hard romantic, Colton is looking for a Hallmark happily ever after, but finding Mrs. Right has been as fruitful as playing the lottery.  It’s no secret that he dreams of white picket fences, finding love, and having a family.  He has the white picket fence…he just needs her.

When a beautiful woman comes to town, he begins to wonder if he has finally found her?  Megan Johnson is stunning with a regal quality that doesn’t live in small mountain towns, and a mystery that has him intrigued.  She also happens to be his neighbor.   

Megan thought McKenzie Ridge was the perfect place to settle…for now.  It was the polar opposite of the glamorous life she abruptly abandoned.  Small town living was anything but simple; it was damned hard!  Gone were her days of fancy make-up, and designer clothes.  Here were the days of flannel, fur lined boots, and becoming Megan Johnson.

As things start to heat up and fall into place with the handsome firefighter next door, her past flashes its depraved and wrathful face.  Can she stay in McKenzie and fight her demons, or will her secrets leave her alone and on the run?  Is there a happily ever after for Colton and Megan, or is love a deadly game of chance?

Release Blitz: Acting Happy by Rylie Roberts (Teasers + Giveaway)

Title: Acting Happy

Series: Texas Desires #2

Author: Rylie Roberts

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: March 22, 2016
Cover Design: Reese Dante

Kenzie Stanton’s constantly matchmaking mother won’t take a hint. At twenty-eight years old, she’d learned rainbows and fairy-tales don’t exist. She swears if she ever gets back on her feet, and out of the hot water her ex landed her in, she’ll embrace a new life that’s relationship-free. When a tall, handsome man with sexy eyes and a smoking-hot body shows up in her family’s store, she has no trouble ignoring him. Until his kindness and genuine nature truly test her resolve. 

The tabloids describe Ty Bateman as a cynical, take-charge, run-over-them-before-they-run-over-you kind of guy. In truth, the life of extreme celebrity has turned him into a tainted, jaded man—being virtually imprisoned behind the windowless walls of his home to avoid the clicking cameras of invasive paparazzi and the overzealous media will tend to do that to a person. When the time comes for his yearly weekend with his childhood friends, he decides to buy a secluded mountain cabin and take an extended vacation from his overwhelming reality. Rejuvenating his soul and making decisions about his future are his top priorities until he spots a blonde beauty in short-shorts carrying groceries out of the only store in town. 

Kenzie and Ty are both hiding out in the mountains…but for very different reason. Reality can only wait so long before it comes knocking on their doors. Even if Ty can break through Kenzie’s barriers, he’s not entirely sure his hurt beauty can withstand the mental brutality of his world. For these two damaged souls, is the possibility of failure too much to try for a life of more than acting happy?

Cover Reveal: Love Will by Lori L. Otto

Title: Love Will

Author: Lori L. Otto

Release Date: Late April 2016

Find on Goodreads

The brilliant mind of 24-year-old Will Rosser never rests. Literally. Scientifically-inclined and musically-gifted, he thinks in equations, hears songs in colors, dreams in geometric shapes and is forever trying to solve the world’s unsolvable problems. Whether he’s trying to escape his unpleasant childhood or forget the mistakes he perpetuates with women he barely knows, he rarely finds a moment’s peace.

When his best friend, Damon, invites him to go on tour as his lead guitarist, Will decides it’s a chance to get away from his bad habits in New York and to make some changes in his life. He’ll have to walk away from a career few people are suited for, but he knows in his heart he’ll return to his work as an astrophysicist once he gets his life on track.

There are parents to forgive or forget, and for Will, they’re decisions he won’t take lightly. He strives to make his siblings proud; to no longer have them make excuses for him. He has to consider his personal life. The only time he ever allowed himself to love a girl, she broke his heart, the pieces splintering around him as he flew across country from Utah to New York when he was just a teenager.

Most of all, though, Will wants peace of mind–something he’s never had–and he knows the only way to get that is to face his painful past.

For Will, a tour across the States allows him to reconstruct the man he’s known he’s capable of being. He comes face-to-face with his own demons, making choices along the way that threaten some relationships and strengthen others. He meets Shea, a woman that challenges him, and a spark ignites on a blustery, winter night.

Just as Will thinks he’s safe to fall in love again, he’s reminded that his past will always be his past, and no matter how distant, it will follow him wherever he goes. When that past threatens his future, Will’s sleepless nights return, and the woman he has fallen for has to decide where in his life she belongs.

Review: ~ MF ~ Chasing Happy by Rylie Roberts

Title: Chasing Happy

Series: Texas Desires #1

Author: Rylie Roberts

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Published: September 15, 2015

Reed Prescott’s life is complicated enough before a silly little girl in outrageous high heels bites it in front of his moving vehicle. With no other choice, he forces her out of the pouring rain and inside his car. His concern isn’t necessarily with her safety, but to ward off any potential lawsuit. 

Lara Hunter’s life is headed in the right direction. With a good education, a great new job, and her dear best friend, Kade, by her side, nothing can get in her way until a freak rain storm leaves her sprawled across the road in the middle of a busy intersection during rush hour traffic. When the gorgeous man in the business suit and too expensive car takes her back to his office, she’s not entirely sure she appreciates his high-handed helpfulness. 

When Reed's assistant finishes with Lara, he finds his entire world rocked by the captivating beauty underneath that soggy exterior. From day one, Reed's success in business has always been fueled by a deep, unbreakable hate for his grandfather. So when the potential for love stands in front of him, can this hardened man find a way to chase his own happiness?

The Fifteenth Minute by Sarina Bowen

Summary:
​

Freshman Lianne Challice is known to millions of fans as Princess Vindi. But sometimes a silver screen sorceress just wants to hang up her wand, tell her manager to shove it, and become a normal college student. Too bad that’s harder than it looks.

She’s never lived a normal life. She hasn’t been to school since kindergarten. And getting close to anyone is just too risky — the last boy she kissed sold the story to a British tabloid.

But she can’t resist trying to get close to Daniel "DJ" Trevi, the hot, broody guy who spins tunes for hockey games in the arena. Something's haunting his dark eyes, and she needs to know more.

DJ's genius is for expressing the mood of the crowd with a ten second song snippet. With just a click and a fade, he can spread hope, pathos or elation among six thousand screaming fans.

Too bad his college career is about to experience the same quick fade-out as one of his songs. He can't get close to Lianne, and he can't tell her why. And the fact that she seems to like him at all? Incredible.

Mari's Review:

***ARC provided to Bayou Book Junkie in exchange for a fair and honest review.***

I rarely read MF any longer, but for Sarina Bowen, who is one of my favorite authors, I was very willing to make an exception... and she didn't disappoint, at all! It bears mentioning that while this book is part of the Ivy Years series, it can be read as a standalone, but if you haven't read The Understatement of the Year (MM) or any of the MF previous titles on the series, you're definitely missing out.

Lianne is an actress, she's been home-schooled and wants to experience college as a normal girl, or as normal a girl as a girl with millions of fans can be. Her best friend is Bella, who we've met in other installments in the Ivy Years series, and is thanks to her that Lianne hangs out with the hockey players and their group. She has been crushing on DJ Trevi, who is in charge of DJing the hockey games, but DJ has a secret that can potentially ruin any relationship between them, even if he's also interested in Lianne.

I really enjoyed this story. It gave me a different perspective into a problem that I'm sure plagues several colleges in the US and as always I love that Sarina Bowen's love for anything hockey translates into a story of this caliber, giving it more depth than your usual sport romance.

Lianne is no wallflower, even if she can be a bit shy, but that's more because of her inexperience than anything else. She goes after what she wants and she's very real, which I loved! I also loved DJ and their chemistry was quite hot and sweet. It was nice how they both stood behind the other, supporting and just being there for each other when they needed it.

Definitely recommendable and I hope there will be more Ivy Years books in the future, I'm so loving this series!

Rating: 5 Stars!!!
