Once back on dry land, Dakota tries to pour her heart into her business and weekly wedding advice column, Get Ready to Wed. But how can the heartbroken celebrate others’ true love? When she reconnects with her childhood best friend, surprisingly sexy and all-grown-up casino bouncer Brendan West, Dakota wonders if maybe she can fall back in love with being in love.
But then her ex reappears, begging for another chance and suddenly Dakota questions if she’ll ever understand love. Can someone once-burned and twice-shy ever find her way down the aisle again?

Review:
     Ah, what would you do if you went on a destination wedding only to be left hanging by the groom-to-be?  And not just hanging, but stuck on the cruise ship with him AFTER he decides not to marry you?  And the worst part, you are a high profile wedding planner whose failed wedding is going to be thrown in your face.  Well if you are Dakota, you have a break down, then put on your big girl panties and try to go on with planning weddings you no longer are excited about.  While she struggles everyday to come to terms with her failed I Do's, she knows that she has to feign excitement for every wedding she plans.  The last thing she expected was for her long-time-no-see best friend to show back up in her life.  
     Brendan shows up a Dakota's office to find her in a miserable state, but also can't help but notice how beautiful she has become.  He knows about her failed wedding, but could care less.  She is the only one who as ever truly SEEN him and he has thought about her everyday they have been apart.  
     While neither one expects to start a relationship with each other, they also can't deny the sparks that are in the air anytime they are around each other.  Soon their friends with benny's relationship turns into a full blown relationship thing and both couldn't be happier.  
     When Dakota's ex wants back in her life will she take him back?  Will she admit to Brendan that she has fallen in love with him and wants nothing more than to spend the rest of her life with him?  In order to find out, you will need to get a copy of this book.  I couldn't help feel bad for Dakota.  No one wants to be left hanging on their wedding day, especially so far away from home.  When she tries to move on with her life, it seems someone is always throwing it up in her face.  Luckily she has some close friends and clients that help her to see the big picture.  
     I love how Brendan did not put any pressure on Dakota to be together.  You could tell right from the beginning that he has feelings for her, but he lets her move at her own pace.  He was so sweet and understanding that you couldn't help but root for him.  This was such a good read that once I started it I couldn't put it down.  I only hope that the author writes another book and gives Dakota's best friend Jillian her HEA.  Here's to keeping my fingers crossed!  

Author Bio:

About Freeing Her

*This novel contains mature content and it not intended for younger readers.*

This is the beginning of a story... the story of two people who were meant to be together. Why? Because unknown to them, they shared terrifying pasts and the cruel circumstances of their births doomed both of them to a life of hell.

 Two strangers ... one night ... one accidental meeting that changed their lives forever. 

Gabriella Martinelli, Manhattan psychiatrist had only one goal in life—to help abuse victims avoid the horrors she’d experienced herself. She worked late, volunteered, and donated her services to anyone who needed them. Life was good ... until her nightmare resurfaced. He found her, and began stalking her, and she knew he wouldn’t stop until he destroyed every ragged piece of her.

Kolson Hart, Manhattan’s most eligible bachelor, was ruled by his dark past. He liked control, from the boardroom to the bedroom and didn’t care to be involved with someone whose life was just as screwed up as his was. But one look at Gabriella short-circuited everything. Want ... desire ... need ... will sometimes drive a man to do things he swore he never would. He freed her from a life of fear ... When he couldn’t even save himself.

AM Hargrove Bio: PastedGraphic-11One day, on her way home from work as a sales manager, A. M. Hargrove, realized her life was on fast forward and if she didn't do something soon, it would quickly be too late to write that work of fiction she had been dreaming of her whole life. So, she rolled down the passenger window of her fabulous (not) company car and tossed out her leather briefcase. Luckily, the pedestrian in the direct line of fire was a dodge ball pro and had über quick reflexes enabling him to avoid getting bashed in the head. Feeling a tad guilty about the near miss, A. M. made a speedy turn down a deserted side street before tossing her crummy, outdated piece-of-you-know-what lap top out the window. She breathed a liberating sigh of relief, picked up her cell phone, called her boss and quit her job. Grinning, she made another call to her hubs and told him of her new adventure (after making sure his heart was beating properly again). So began A. M. Hargrove's career as a YA/NA and Adult Romance writer. Her books include Kissing Fire, Edge of Disaster, Shattered Edge, the series the Guardians of Vesturon (Survival, Resurrection, Determinant, Beginnings and reEmergent), Dark Waltz, Tragically Flawed, Tragic Desires, and Exquisite Betrayal. Other than being in love with being in love, she loves chocolate, ice cream and coffee and is positive they should be added as part of the USDA food groups. (If you're wondering, it didn't happen EXACTLY that way, but….) You can also find her on Goodreads as Emerson St. Clair. Her novella series, Dirty Nights, is available and those are a little dark, a little erotic and a lot sexy!

THE REBELS
Author: Brittany Jo James

Happiness is only reserved for the upper class in the United States of America.

As a military wife who spends most of her time working for minimum wage, Temper Jensen can attest to that. Finding a spare moment to spend with her husband, Voss, is a luxury she can hardly afford.

Everything changes when the citizens realize that the president of the country is nothing more than a terrorist bent on total domination. Freedom no longer exists for the citizens of the United States of America and all who dare defy their new rulers are considered rebels of the nation.

Temper knows what she must do, even if it means being separated from Voss in order to save his life. Risking everything, she runs home to her moonshine-brewing anarchist daddy’s home in southwest Arkansas to collect a congregation of rebels to fight back. No one can be trusted, especially Temper’s devious ex-boyfriend who won’t take ‘no’ for an answer.

Can Temper reunite with her husband, keep her wayward family out of trouble, and restore the USA to the nation under God that it was intended to be—or will freedom as we know it be lost forever?

SYNOPSIS:

 Tristan Williams thought the path of his life was on the right journey. He had a successful career, good looks, and a carefree lifestyle. One conversation changed Tristan’s way of thinking forever as his father presented him with a bottle, representing his journey and forcing unwanted thoughts of a lasting relationship to the surface. Running from the fear of commitment, he pushed away the only woman he ever had feelings for and turned to the one girl he knew he didn’t love. 

 Ryn Webster was finally putting her past behind her. Moving to Texas and concentrating on the success of her own company, she had her life almost where she wanted it. One thing was missing though…love. She thought she had found love with Tristan until he casted her aside.

 After being hurt by Tristan, Ryn does whatever she can to push him from her heart, even if it means being with a man she doesn’t love. 

 Regardless of the path one thinks they are on, the journey of life can cause unexpected turns, altering the planned course. Will Tristan and Ryn’s bottle be tossed about, lost in the rocky waves of life? Or will calm seas prevail to help Tristan and Ryn finally find their journey of love…together?

 SYNOPSIS:

Dex is many things, a college senior, the bassist for The Invisibles, a son, a friend, everything but a boyfriend. Everybody knows him as the shallow guy who’s up for a good time anytime. People rarely take the time to see the loyal guy lying just beneath the happy-go-lucky façade.

There are parts of Dex’s life he keeps hidden. Ones he believes no one would understand. Since he gave up on the idea of a dream girl long ago, he thinks he’s finally found the perfect balance of connection without commitment with Sam.

Chrissy used to know everything about Dex. When he left four years ago for college, she was left behind. Four years later, with nowhere else to turn, Chrissy calls the one person she’s always counted on, Dex. One glance at the sad eyes he’s tried to forget and Dex knows it’s out of his control.

With Chrissy's return, lines begin to cross from friendship to something more, but will Dex's secret force them apart forever?

 (Can't Let Go is the fourth novel in the Invisibles Series)

Review & Excerpt of IRON SINNERS by H.J. Bellus





IRON SINNERS
Author: H.J. Bellus
Series: Sinners Never Die, Book 1
 ~ SYNOPSIS ~

A job needs done…he does it. 
Men idolize him. 
Women love him. 

Never shy and always up for a good time, Grizz finds himself jumping from mattress to mattress and digging grave after grave. You want to take a bullet? Cross the club. 

One night, rival MC, Devil’s Idol, do just that. Grizz and Animal are sent to straighten shit out while leaving no witnesses. What Grizz faces that night changes his life forever… 

Piper Jones is in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The ruthless business woman, finds herself captive by the MC club. But she’s not one to go down without a fight. 

She slowly destroys Grizz, from his bad boy persona, to his ride or die motto. He should want nothing more than to do away with her with a single bullet. Instead, he finds himself giving his all just to be with her. 

Will Grizz be able to walk away from the one thing he swore he never wanted?

~REVIEW~
     
     Wow, where do I even start?  I knew this book was going to be different than other books written by H.J. Bellus, but I wasn't prepared for HOW different.  This book will suck you in right for the beginning and keep you until the end.  Even then, you will be left wanting more.  The characters are raw, gritty, in you face and you can't help but want more of them.
     Piper has worked hard to climb to the top.  She knows what it is like to struggle as a foster child and will never go back there again.  She will not let anything stand in her way and will do everything in her power to succeed.  Grizz, oh Grizz...there is so much one could say about him.  He is a badass biker that has no problems with ending you if you cross him or the club.  The last thing he expects to find is a perfect partner and woman in Piper.  She is nothing like who he usually sleeps with, but he can't help but fall further under her spell.   
     This book will keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next.  If you are looking for a touchy, feely love story, this book is not for you.  If you are looking for a book that takes you on a emotional roller coaster of drama and scary situations, this is one you are looking for.  I don't want to say to much, as I don't want to give anything away, but I guarantee you will not regret purchasing this book.  H.J. did a wonderful job and I can't wait for the next one to see what kind of ride she will take us on.

~ EXCERPT ~

“Who the fuck do you think you are,” I yell as the large man throws me onto the bed.
“Your worst fucking nightmare, sweetie pie.”
“Just let me go, please.”
“Not happening,” he says as he sits on the bed and begins to untie his boots.
“I didn’t see anything. I don’t know names or places. Let me go. I have a very important meeting in the morning,” I beg.
“Not happening,” he replies again.
“Let. Me. Fucking. Go,” I roar, as I sling the Bible from the nightstand and nail him in the back of the head.
“Listen here, bitch, you’re now property of the Iron Sinners motorcycle club. You ain’t fucking going nowhere without one of us. Got it? You witnessed a fucking crime that could put a fellow brother away for life. You’ve been spotted with us by a rival club. You are now marked as a motherfucking Sinner. You leave our side and the Idols will put a really shiny bullet straight through your skull. You’re a walking, talking dead bitch just waiting to get popped. So shut the fuck up.”
Did I just really hear him he say property of the sinners? Bullet in my head?
“So, you’re telling me I have a ticking death threat that could expire at any given moment?”
The man stands, faces me, baring all of his ink and replies, “And I forgot to add shut the fuck up.”
“Are you fucking kidding me?”
He comes closer in an intimidating stance and bends down so we are face to face. “Does any of this read as if I were kidding you, bitch?”
His minty breath reverberates off my skin and envelops all of my senses. He was the bad guy and I, the victim, but god damn he’s gorgeous.
“Let me fucking go. I don’t care about any of that shit.”
I lunge forward off the bed, catapulting myself into his chest and begin my fight to escape. My surprise assault knocks him off balance and he falls back on the bed. I run for the door. Fuck! My bag. I take three steps back, grab my bag, and run.
Halfway out of the parking lot, I'm brought down by my hair.
“You dumb cunt. What part of my speech didn’t you get?” the man growls in my face.
He rips me up by the hair and drags me back to the room.
“I’m done playing nice. You want to run and piss me the fuck off, then you’re going to be treated like a fucking piece of trash.”
