TheDeal Amazon GR SW

Release date: 2/24/15 

Summary

She’s about to make a deal with the college bad boy…

Hannah Wells has finally found someone who turns her on. But while she might be confident in every other area of her life, she’s carting around a full set of baggage when it comes to sex and seduction. If she wants to get her crush’s attention, she’ll have to step out of her comfort zone and make him take notice…even if it means tutoring the annoying, childish, cocky captain of the hockey team in exchange for a pretend date.

…and it’s going to be oh so good

All Garrett Graham has ever wanted is to play professional hockey after graduation, but his plummeting GPA is threatening everything he’s worked so hard for. If helping a sarcastic brunette make another guy jealous will help him secure his position on the team, he’s all for it. But when one unexpected kiss leads to the wildest sex of both their lives, it doesn’t take long for Garrett to realize that pretend isn’t going to cut it. Now he just has to convince Hannah that the man she wants looks a lot like him.

Here’s what best selling authors and bloggers are saying about The Deal…

“Hannah and Garrett are funny, relatable, and their chemistry on the page is palpable enough to linger off of it. The Deal reminds me of all the reasons I love romance. Two capable, yet flawed people realize that living without the other is worse than anything else life can throw at them. I highly recommend it to fans of Easy by Tammara Webber or The Hook Up by Kristen Callihan. It’ll make you laugh, maybe even tear up, but most of all leave you with that warm good book feeling at the end.”
– Jane Litte, Dear Author

Romance. The most adorable couple. The banter – omg the banter. The romance. The friends. The flirtation. The smiles it gave me.

-Mandi, SmexyBooks
Elle Kennedy engages your senses from the very first sentence! Both deliciously steamy and heart-achingly tender, the Deal is an absolute winner!

NYT Best Selling author Katy Evans
Elle has masterfully captured the feelings, the romance and the unbridled sexiness of the New Adult genre with this book! You will swoon for Garrett! Alice Clayton, NYT Best Selling author of WALLBANGER

I am that gash in her soul.

Once I loved Grace, really loved her.

And she loved me, and it was so fucking beautiful.

Once.

That pendulum swings to and fro.

We’re here,

and then we’re—

No.

How can that rare beautiful be rendered irrelevant, intangible when I still feel so damn much?

Does all that energy, that glory, that significance simply dissolve?

Turn to smoke?

To nothing?

It can’t. It just can’t.

Are the moments that shape us absolutely random?

Is time not fluid?

I made promises to them, to her.

Especially to her.

Promises I still burn to keep.

Rebel and Sophia’s story

The first of a three part series. This novel contains a small snippet which has already been released in the Owned: An Alpha Anthology, however it is followed by a full story installment.

Sophia

Sometimes, you don’t mean to become another person. Sometimes the choice is made for you, and pretending is the only thing that keeps you going. When Alexis Romera is taken and her kidnappers find her fake ID in her purse, she must become Sophia in order to keep her family safe. Revealing her real identity to the man she’s sold to would be easy enough, but can she trust him? Hell bent on revenging the murder of his uncle, Rebel doesn’t seem all that interested in playing things safe.

In fact, nothing about the secretive, dark and brooding MC president seems safe at all.

Rebel

What do you do when the man who raised you is murdered, and the only witness is kidnapped girl who’s being sold as a sex slave? You buy her, of course. As president to the most powerful motorcycle club in America, Rebel isn’t lacking in power. There are strings the man can pull, and entire criminal organisations and corporate businesses alike would fall to their knees. However, along with such power comes intense interest. The DEA have their eye fixed solely on the MC…and they’re just waiting for Rebel to trip up.

Getting Sophia to testify is the only way to bring the Los Oscuros cartel down. The beautiful, dark haired, dark eyed woman is belligerent and uncooperative and unlikely to bend to his will, but Rebel has a few tricks up his sleeve to make her compliant–he’ll charm her until she’s bending over backwards to please him.

Of course, falling for her might cause a few hiccups along the way…

Review

One thing readers will learn about Callie’s writing pretty quickly is that she’ll always leave you wanting more of everything aspect of the worlds and characters she creates. I felt that way with Zeth and Sloane and now Rebel and Sophia can be added to the list. Even though Rebel and Sophia were introduced in Callie’s first series, Blood & Roses, readers do not need to read it in order to read Dead Man’s Ink. But I have to say, I highly recommend the Blood & Roses series, and I dare you not to let if consume your life until your finished with every book. Zeth and Sloane’s story is highly addictive – there’s just something about that sadistic bastard that will have your craving to understand him and the woman who stole his cold heart.

Just like Zeth, Rebel is a multifaceted character whose personality is slowly revealed and that enlightenment, I’m sure, will occur throughout the series up until the very end. Early on readers learn that something happened in his life that tilted it on its axis…shook him at his core, and ever since that occurred, he has not been the man he was before it occurred. Rebel’s a criminal with a bit of conscience when it comes to some aspects of his life, which stems from a past that it not quite clear. A part of his background is brought into the open in this book, which definitely illustrates how far the other way his life has gone. But in some ways, it’s a much better life than the one he was living at least under his father’s thumb. There’s a lot of depth to Rebel…so much more than I thought there would be after being introduced to him in the Blood & Roses series, and I can’t wait for Callie to show readers the man beneath the hardass exterior.

I really liked Sophia, and I can’t wait to understand her better and get some insight into why she makes the choices she does, especially when freedom was within her grasp. She’s definitely a firecracker, and she’s going to give Rebel a run for his money. She’s slowly beginning to unthaw the ice man, and it will be interesting to see how their relationship progresses based on the conclusion of book one. She’s one tough chick and I can’t wait to see her “handle” Rebel and the Widow Makers. Something tells me she’s going to fit right in once she gets over the initial shock of everything and the fact that her new life is nothing like her old one.

Rebel’s biker world and his role as the President of the Widow Makers is still a mystery for the most part, so I hope as the series progresses, readers get to see the ins and outs of the club and why it’s run the way that it is with rules that are quite unlike a lot of MC clubs.

Callie Hart is one of those authors whose books consume me every time I get a new one, and the start of Rebel and Sophia’s story definitely did not disappoint. The drama and suspense flies off the page from the start of the text and doesn’t ease up much throughout. It does take a bit to build up the storyline and get Rebel and Sophia in the same space, but the set up is necessary to understand the events that set everything else in motion. The sexual tension is palpable between Rebel and Sophia right from the start even though the extenuating circumstances put it at a standstill for much of the text. There’s a lot of turmoil with the Widow Makers and their enemies as well as the role that Sophia needs to play for Rebel, so it will be interesting to see where Callie takes this fire/ice couple next. I, for one, can’t wait to see the hell that Rebel unleashes!

Excerpt

“You gonna sit down or what?”

I sit down. Arguing with him would be futile. We sit there, side by side, staring off down the arrow-straight road, and for a moment I don’t hate him. He pulls a cell phone out of his pocket and taps something into it, and then he turns to face me, frowning slightly.

“You believe in vengeance?”

“You mean like revenge?”

He shakes his head. “Revenge is a selfish act. Retaliation for something. Vengeance is a different thing altogether. It’s about obtaining justice, usually for someone who can’t claim it for themselves.”

This is an odd line of questioning but I decide I’ll bite. Maybe I wouldn’t if he were being a jerk like he was a couple of hours ago, but that’s not what’s happening. He’s pensive, the live wire that apparently runs through him dulled for the moment. “I don’t know,” I say. “Probably, in that case.”

“What if I simplified the question?

What if I say, do you believe in justice?

“Then, yes, I do believe.”

jakejaxtourbanner

 

Jake Synopsis

Jake Mitchell has spent his whole life tied at the hip with his best friend and twin brother Jax. They’ve shared everything, except for women, which was easy since their tastes were so different.From the moment she walked into the room Jake knew she was special, with her flowing brown locks, supple body, and a smile that could brighten any day. An accident leaves her vulnerable and in the arms of his brother. From that moment she’s in awe of Jax. Jake tries his best to keep away from Reese Miller. He disrespects her and tells everyone how much she annoys him to make sure she stays at a distance.

Reese can’t stand that Jake hates her. She’s determined to change his mind, not knowing he’s desperately trying to protect his relationship with his brother, and his family.

When the two find themselves alone during a winter storm all bets are off, and what happens next could change everything, including the bond between two brothers.

Jake Review

I always know when I pick up a Jennifer Foor book that I’m in for an angst filled and steamy ride that will leave me quite frustrated in more ways than one. That’s the exact reaction I had while reading Jake, Foor’s newest release in her Mitchell/Healy Family series. I have to admit, though, I’m not a big fan of love triangles and cheating; it’s always hard for me to wrap my head around why people choose to do things behind someone else’s back instead of just coming clean and facing the repercussions early on instead of the hell that will be had after the fact. But I love Foor’s books, and she writes the situation in a way that shows the internal musings of the characters to be front and center, which allows me as a reader to try and understand the position they find themselves in and why they make the choices that they do.

I have to say, though, after finishing Jake, I’m torn on this one…Reece has a lot of redeeming to do in my eyes, and I’m not completely sure how I feel about Jake. I understand the idea of all consuming love and you can’t help who you love, but the duplicity on both Reece and Jake’s parts was hard to stomach…they crossed more than a few lines and there were parts that made me cringe with what they “had to do” to keep up appearances with Jax.

Jax isn’t completely portrayed in a positive light in the text as well; he’s a bit of a douche whose views on women are mind boggling at times, so it will be interesting to see where Foor takes his character after everything he had to deal with at the end of Jake. I’m eagerly anticipating starting Jax – he’s the victim in all of this, and I can’t help but feel for the guy who finally gave himself/his heart to someone only to be betrayed by those he loved most. Jax needs to heal and get over the hurt, but, to me, his relationship with his brother isn’t something he should give up on, so I’m anxious to see how/if they can mend their connection and get back to being the Mitchell package deal because readers can definitely tell based on their interactions and the way Jake describes their relationship that the brothers mean everything to each other, and it would be a travesty to allow a woman to come between that type of bond.

JAX Synopsis

Jax Mitchell isn’t the only one with his handsome face, though he wishes that were different. Everything’s changed in a short amount of time, after his twin brother came between him and his girlfriend, Reese.

With the hurt still lingering in every direction he turns, Jax picks up and moves to Kentucky to work on his uncle’s cattle ranch. It isn’t long until he meets someone that not only helps him get over Reese, but also encourages him to forgive his brother.

Can the twins make amends or has the damage that’s been done too much to forget?

Jax Review

After dealing with the fallout of his brother and girlfriend’s betrayal, Jax Mitchell finds himself in Kentucky trying to get over a broken heart and a whole lot of fury. His decision to leave North Carolina and regroup was definitely in everyone’s best interest…distance from the situation was the only way that Jax was going to start to heal and hopefully mend his relationship with his brother, Jake. What he didn’t expect and what I think most readers won’t see coming is the person who will help heal is blackened heart and show him how human people really are.

I love the fact that an author can take a character and show him in one light in one text and then transform him and allow readers to watch how and why he evolves into a completely different person due to a number of variables. That’s exactly what Jennifer Foor does with Jax. He’s definitely licking his wounds at the beginning of the story, and Jake’s visit doesn’t seem to help the situation at all, but it does force Jax to face some things, and it is the catalyst for the start of his friendship/relationship with Amber. Their first interaction illustrates the Jax of Jake’s book – the cocky, filthy minded man who thinks with his dick more so than anything else, but as Jax and Amber spend more time together and he starts to realize that Amber is his perfect match; he starts to change into a different person. He understands just by Amber’s reaction to a few things and her views on relationships that she’s been through situations that have scarred her, and Jax works his hardest to handle her with care and heed her friend zoned wishes, even though he wants her more than his next breath.

What starts off as a friendship – one where Amber works to heal the fracture between Jax and his brother, Jake, turns into so much more. But both Jax and Amber are broken and the depth of their baggage is enough to sink most relationships right from the start. They have their work cut out for them if they want to make it work and they definitely have quite a few hurdles to overcome, but when someone finds his/her perfect match, it’s easy to adjust and battle when what you’re fighting for is everything you’ve wanted but never thought you could have.

Amber is the driving force for Jax’s healing; she’s a heroine who has faced a series of horrendous situations that have brought her to the depth of despair, but she keeps going, which is a great testament to the type of person she is. Amber and Jax allow each other to live again…to feel consumed by love and even if it scares them, as long as they’re open and honest with each other, the risks are worth it.

I’m so glad that Jennifer Foor release Jake and Jax’s books at the same time. It’s fitting given the nature of their bond and how intricately woven they are in each other’s lives and stories. I do have to say that I still can’t stand Reese. She doesn’t seem to grow or learn from what happened between her and the twins, and maybe it’s because readers don’t get her point of view, but her actions in Jax’s books don’t show her in a positive way at all.

At the end of Jax, they’re all healing and moving on but I don’t feel like I received the closure I needed to have in order to understand how it all ended up okay. I wanted those conversations between the brothers and the couples to be explored further, so when the epilogue arrives, I’m excited to see what happened after everything was settled. I didn’t feel like that happened, and while I’m happy everything worked out, to me, Jake and Jax’s bond is the most important one out of all of them and I wanted to see how that mended and grew.

Overall, though, I loved Jax and Amber’s story; it’s exactly the kind of story I’ve come to expect from Jennifer Foor, and I can’t wait for the next one.

tag36Caden Carlisle is a world-renowned superstar with good looks, million dollar movie deals and women throwing themselves at him wherever he goes. He has it all… but wants nothing more than a normal life without the paparazzi and glitz.

Brooklyn Holloway is an up and coming starlet with a solid head on her shoulders and her eyes wide open. It’s all about art for her and she isn’t looking to star in blockbuster films. She’s perfectly happy keeping a low profile and doing indie projects with a message.

When fate throws the two of them together on set; both are unprepared for their undeniable connection. Cade is drawn to Brook’s down-to-earth wholesomeness and she can’t help the irresistible pull of his good looks, sense of humor and chivalrous ways… So, when he begins to think he’s in love with her, resisting is next to impossible, despite being committed to someone else.

Only when filming ends and the world’s fascination with celebrity invades their bubble, can they decide if the emotions they felt on set were scripted, or forever.

tag19

Cade moved a little, as if to say something, and I put a finger to his lips as a tear fell from my eye. “I couldn’t have done this with anyone else. You… brought me to life. Not just the character, but me. I’ve felt things with you, that… that I…” I stumbled over the words and shook my head, “…didn’t even know were possible. I care about you more than you know.”

I struggled to continue because I was crying softly. I sniffed back the tears as his hand tightened on mine again. “I’m really going to miss you.” I felt a sob well up within my chest, threatening to break free. “I’ll miss you, every day. I… um, I h-hope you’ll al- always remember…” My voice caught and I had to stop for a minute to keep from sobbing. I took a ragged breath, my throat seriously aching.

He brought my hand to his mouth to kiss my palm, his breath hot against my skin. “Oh, Brook…” he sighed. “This is the worst bloody moment of my life. It’s hell.”

I nodded. “I brought you something to remember me by, but please don’t open it until you get back to London,” I said, wiping away my tears with my free hand. I offered him a tumultuous smile, but I could barely manage it through my misery.

He took the package and placed a hand lovingly on the top. His eyes closed and he sighed heavily.

“I don’t need anything to remind me of you. I won’t forget a single detail, not a single second of our time together here,” he said softly. “But, thank you for wanting to leave me with some part of you. It means the world to me.”

When his eyes opened, he set the package on the bed then knelt down in front of me. One of his arms wrapped around my body and the other came up to cup my face, his thumb caressing the line of my jaw. My skin tingled where he touched me and my heart ached at the tears in his eyes. My shoulders started to shake in silent sobs. It hurt so fucking bad.

“Brook.” His beautiful blue eyes stared right into my heart. “You’ve always been stronger than me. You control your feelings so much better, than I.” The corners of his mouth lifted in a sad smile as his fingers brushed along my jaw.

I gave a little laugh through my tears. “I’m not feeling very strong right now, Cade.” I took a shaky breath. “The only way I’m gonna get through this is to believe that we’ll still keep in touch with each other. I feel so close to you. I don’t want to lose that.” A tear slipped from my lashes and slid down my face.

“There will be things we’ll need to do to promote the movie, so we’ll be together again for some of it.” His eyes searched my face as he spoke.

“I’m holding on to that. You’re so important to me.” I swallowed hard and bit my lip against the pain.

“We will be together again, I promise. I don’t know how I’ll survive without seeing your beautiful face every day.” I blushed at his words, and gave a shaky laugh, though my tears fell like rain.

I thought of my photo album gift, and knew now it was just what he would want.

“As the whole world will agree, you are the beautiful one.” My eyes rose to his face. His strong features were flooded with a mixture of confusion, sadness and denial.

He would never believe how extraordinary he was. He couldn’t see that he was amazing to everyone who met him and even millions who hadn’t. “I’ve always found you beautiful. From afar, I mean. When I watched your movies. But, who you are inside,” I placed my hand on his heart, “is the most beautiful part of you.” I tried to brush a tear away with the other. “I expected you to be so different then you turned out to be.”

Suddenly his arms went around me and my hands came around his forearms as we stared into each other’s eyes.

“My God, Brook. I know you don’t want me to say it, and I know I have no right, but if I don’t, it feels like I’ll die right here.” His voice broke on the words, and my heart stopped. “I’m SO in love with you.” He searched my face, trying to find an answer in my eyes. Tears were streaming down my cheeks as I put my hands up to hold his face.

“I love you…” he whispered, “and I don’t care if I’m going to hell for saying it out loud.” I could see how urgently he needed me to believe it. My heart thumped heavily and my breath caught, as I read the truth and emotion in his dark blue eyes.

“Cade.” At that moment, he was the only thing that existed in my world. I breathed his name as I kissed his eyes, his nose, his cheeks and forehead so softly. I opened my eyes, and moved my mouth down to his lips, hovering over his mouth.

Our kisses had always been so restrained. While passionate, so much was held back. We never really let ourselves kiss each other like I knew we both wanted to. I placed a feather light kiss on his lips, and I felt him draw in his breath, as his lips moved gently with mine. The moment of hesitation was wondrous: a pivotal moment in the fabric of my life, the precipice. If I jumped off, it either could kill me, or fill my wings and lift me up to heaven.

I knew this was the time to let Cade see my true feelings, and to take what I could of him while I had the chance. I could feel my body and my voice trembling, as I finally asked for what I’d been wanting for months.

“Cade, will you kiss me goodbye? As you… not Ryan,” I whispered against his lips.

He understood what I wanted, and his mouth crushed down on mine instantly, our lips parted, our tongues melding in deep, slow perfection. It was everything… and it wasn’t enough. As we kissed, we held each other tightly, our arms moving up and down each other’s bodies, and into each other’s hair, as our mouths devoured each other.

It was heaven. I never wanted the moment to end.

He pulled me closer, and I kissed him back so deeply that surely we would melt together. My tears and Cade’s mingled on our cheeks. Our kisses softened, still passionate and reverent. We couldn’t bear to separate and continued to hold each other, still placing little lingering clinging kisses on each other’s mouths as his hands cupped my face and he brushed my tears away with the pads of his thumbs. He took my lower lip between both of his and sucked on it lightly. I sighed into him, our breath meshing as he rested his forehead on mine.

I didn’t want to fight it anymore. I couldn’t.

How could I have ever questioned my feelings for this man? I loved him so much it stole my breath.

The reader support of my stories and my overwhelming desire to find out where my characters would take me, soon had the writing morphing the business. No one was more shocked than I. When readers began nominating my work for online awards, it took my breath away and only made me love it more. It soon became clear that writing was, and should be, my focus.

About IN HER WAKE

Cole Reynolds had it all. And then one night he makes a bad choice… and loses everything.

When a drunken night out at a Michigan State college party results in the death of six people, Cole must come to terms with his part in the tragedy. Normally, he’d be able to lean on his best friends. The best friends that have been in his life since he could barely walk. Only, they’re gone. Worse, there’s the shattered body of a sixteen-year-old girl lying somewhere in a hospital bed, her entire life ripped from her because of a case of beer and a set of keys.

Everyone assures him that they know it wasn’t intentional and yet he can’t ignore the weight of their gazes, the whispers behind his back. The all-consuming guilt he feels every time he thinks of that girl who won’t so much as allow him near her hospital room to apologize. As the months go by and the shame and loneliness festers, Cole begins to lose his grip of what once was important-college, his girlfriend, his future. His life. It’s not until Cole hits rock-bottom that he can begin to see another way out of his personal hell: forgiveness.

And there’s only one person who can give that to him…

EXCERPT

That’s how I spot her.

There’s no doubt that it’s her; I’ve memorized her face.

Leaning against a wall on the opposite side, her lips wrapped around a clear bottle filled with clear liquor, her fiery red hair a wild mane against the stark white wall, a tight black T-shirt showing off toned arms. She’s in no rush to part with that bottle, guzzling back a good portion before she hands it off to someone, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand.

Her eyes at half-mast.

She’s wasted.

My heart starts racing. What the hell is Kacey Cleary doing here? By my calculation, she’s probably finishing her last year of high school, having lost at least half a year while recovering.

I tug my cap down even farther, though I doubt she can see two feet in front of her.

What if she does recognize me? How would she react? Does she know my real name? What I look like? I can’t say for sure that my face wasn’t printed in a newspaper somewhere. She could have Googled my name and found a dozen game shots with me in them. I have my helmet on in most of them, but you can find a profile picture of me easily enough if you’re looking.

I don’t know that she was, though. I wonder if Kacey Cleary gives a fuck about anything anymore. Her Facebook account is inactive. She hasn’t posted a single word and the well-wishes have dwindled, as everyone moves on.

I do know that she shouldn’t be at a party in this state. I’ve heard of bad things happening when girls get that drunk. Especially when they don’t care.

But what do I do?

A blonde stumbles into my chest with two beers in hand. “Hey, do you go here? What’s your name?” She’s tipping her head back way farther than necessary to look up at me, telling me she’s trying to flirt but is too drunk to do it right.

I smile down at her anyway. She’s a good cover. I can stand right here and watch Kacey. “I’m Trent, and I used to go here.”

“Really? When’d you graduate?”

From the corner of my eye, I see Kacey shift from the wall and begin climbing the stairs, her arm hooked around the railing to help her. Two guys following her.

“I own you. I have the piece of paper to prove it. It’s undeniable and unbreakable. You belong to me until you’ve paid off your debts.”

Nila Weaver’s family is indebted. Being the first born daughter, her life is forfeit to the first born son of the Hawks to pay for sins of ancestors past. The dark ages might have come and gone, but debts never leave. She has no choice in the matter.

She is no longer free.

Jethro Hawk receives Nila as an inheritance present on his twenty-ninth birthday. Her life is his until she’s paid off a debt that’s centuries old. He can do what he likes with her—nothing is out of bounds—she has to obey.

There are no rules. Only payments.

“You say I’ll never own you. If I win—you willingly give me that right. You sign not only the debt agreement, but another—one that makes me your master until your last breath is taken. You do that, and I’ll give you this.”

Nila Weaver’s family is indebted. Stolen, taken, and bound not by monsters but by an agreement written over six hundred years ago, she has no way out.

She belongs to Jethro as much as she denies it.

Jethro Hawk’s patience is running out. His inheritance gift tests, challenges, and surprises him—and not in good ways. He hasn’t leashed her but he thinks he might’ve found a way to bind her forever.

Debts are mounting. Payment waiting.

“I tried to play a game. I tried to wield deceit as perfectly as the Hawks. But when I thought I was winning, I wasn’t. Jethro isn’t what he seems–he’s the master of duplicity. However, I refuse to let him annihilate me further.”

Nila Weaver has grown from naïve seamstress to full-blown fighter. Every humdrum object is her arsenal, and sex…sex is her greatest weapon of all.

She’s paid the First Debt. She’ll probably pay more.

But she has no intention of letting the Hawks win.

Jethro Hawk has found more than a worthy adversary in Nila–he’s found the woman who could destroy him. There’s a fine line between hatred and love, and an even finer path between fear and respect.

The fate of his house rests on his shoulders, but no matter how much ice lives inside his heart, Nila flames too bright to be extinguished.

RELEASE BLITZ: REVIEW, TEASERS, AND GIVEAWAY: LOVE THAT DEFIES US (A Devil’s Dust MC Novella) by M.N. Forgy

Blurb

Dani has taken the role of a mother easily, and is loving the title ‘wife to be.’ But with that happiness, comes complications. Having children, and a fiancé involved in a motorcycle club, has her and Shadow becoming distant, and missing their sexy escapades. A spark that was once a vibrant flame is now a suppressing ember.

Shadow knows he has not been there for Dani, not like he should be. Doing the dirty work of the club, and taking on the responsibilities of Vice President of The Devil’s Dust, he’s had his hands full.

With violent murders unfolding around the club, it has thrown town locals into a panic. What they didn’t expect was for them to get caught up in the carnage.

Can Dani and Shadow survive the distance that has been wedged between them, or will it have them questioning their imminent marriage?

 Review

Dani and Shadow’s path to their happily ever after has been paved with club business, threats, darkness, and babies, and while it definitely hasn’t been easy, it’s what makes Dani Shadow’s light/fire in his tormented world.

In The Love that Defies Us, Dani and Shadow’s story continues. It’s a few years later, and they’re settling into family life with their son, Zane, but with Shadow’s new position as VP of the club, there’s definitely a strain in their relationship because the time they get to spend together is far and few between, but that’s not something that will divide them because they’ve been through too much and defied too many odds to not be together.

In this Devil’s Dust novella, it’s Valentine’s Day, and Dani and Shadow, despite turmoil surrounding the club, want to show one another how important they are to each other and the idea of possessing the other’s body and soul is the only thing on their mind. Dani is Shadow’s number one priority, and he’s going to show her exactly what that means because he wouldn’t be able to exist without her by his side.

The continuation of Dani and Shadow’s relationship is a steamy, suspenseful ride that epitomizes how defying love can be even when faced with extreme situations. Dani and Shadow are bonded together; every challenge and obstacle thrown their way has been overcome, not without pain and suffering, but they’ve still been able to challenge anyone or anything from stopping them from being together. The idea of love fighting to beat the odds is personified in The Love That Defies Us; it shows what’s at the heart of both Dani and Shadow’s characters and it gives readers a bit more insight into the kind of man Bobby is as well, which helps lead into the next book in The Devil’s Dust series, and one that I’m anxiously awaiting.

A complimentary copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.
