He never meant to hurt her.

Levi “Painter” Brooks was nothing before he joined the Reapers motorcycle club. The day he patched in, they became his brothers and his life. All they asked in return was a strong arm and unconditional loyalty—a loyalty that’s tested when he’s caught and sentenced to prison for a crime committed on their behalf.

Melanie Tucker may have had a rough start, but along the way she’s learned to fight for her future. She’s escaped from hell and started a new life, yet every night she dreams of a biker whose touch she can’t forget. It all started out so innocently—just a series of letters to a lonely man in prison. Friendly. Harmless. Safe.

Now Painter Brooks is coming home… and Melanie’s about to learn that there’s no room for innocence in the Reapers MC.

Book Bub

A friend of mine turned me on to this website bookbub.com. It is a FREE site where you can save your reading preferences, follow authors and the site will send you digital book recommendations that are on sale based on the information you save and I love a good sale. Reading can be expensive and if you read like I do then you can spend $$$ buying books. My husband would like me to have a cheaper hobby but he also knows reading makes me happy, happy wife means a happy life.

I haven't spent much time playing with the site but I have saved the authors that I love and have set my reading genre and preferences. They send a daily email with book deals and where they can be purchased. I have to say, I look forward to that email. Based on these daily recommendations I have discovered several authors that I probably would not have without Book Bub. For example, my love of the The Portland Storm series is credited to Book Bub. I've gotten into shifter's because of Book Bub's recommendations.

If you are busy or like to spend your free time reading instead of spending hours looking for the next good book, I'd recommend Book Bub. There are many FREE book deals out there and if I am interested I download it. Even if it's not something to read just yet, FREE is FREE! I've saved a heck of a lot of money and my husband is happier. You can't go wrong.

Portland Storm series

A couple of weeks ago I discovered the Portland Storm series by Catherine Gayle and I have NOT been disappointed. There are 7 books in the series including a few novellas and in about 2 weeks I managed to read the whole series!

Each book is based around the Portland Storm NHL hockey team and each book focuses around a player and his love interest. The main reason I LOVE this series is that each book deals with real life issues that many people deal with on a daily basis from rape, loss of identity, personal loss, suicide and cancer. The characters are realistic and very human. There is a good mix of hockey and their personal lives. I don't know much about hockey but it didn't hinder the series at all. I felt what the characters were feeling and cried so many times. The first book Break Away and the novella Taking a Shot are by far my favorites but I think that had to do with my heart strings. I cried more in these 2 than anything.

Once I started reading I could not put them down. I felt like the characters were family and I wanted to reach out hug them all. The author, Catherine Gayle, has a grasp on how people cope and how they are feeling. I realize that not everyone copes the same way but Catherine paints a realistic picture of how the characters cope with these real life situations.

It is important to read the books in order because each one builds and introduces characters that are seen in future books and some characters are having their back story built as the series progresses.

Zee and Dana from Break Away (book 1) and Babs and Katie from Taking a Shot (a novella) and Dropping Gloves (book 7) are my 2 favorite couples.

Break Away (book 1)
On the Fly (book 2)
Taking a Shot (Novella)
Light the Lamp (book 4)
Delay of Game (book 5)
Double Major (book 6)
In the Zone (book 7)
Holiday Hat Trick (novella)
Comeback (book 9)
Dropping Gloves (book 10)

SIlver Bastard by Joanna Wylde

I was so excited to read this book because I LOVE the Reaper's series and I like Joanna's style of writing but I was not so much impressed with this book.


The story starts with Puck and Painter's release from prison. They are partying at an "ally" club. Puck realizes too late that he "partied" with a 16 year old Becca. As it turns out Becca's stepfather has been pimping her out to club members. In self-preservation, he rescues Becca from her stepfather and takes her back with him.

5 years later...Puck has stayed away from Becca but the club has looked out for her. She is going to school and working at a diner.

Puck wants her and can't get that 1 night out of his head. He decides to make his move but Becca isn't having any of it. She does not want anything to do with the MC lifestyle. While she is moving on her past just won't let go.

Her mom is constantly calling and begging for money. She is conflicted because it's her mom but there is something deceitful about her mom's situation. Through the push and pull between her mom, Becca is coming to realize she can't win with Puck. She wants him.

Puck and the club are going through their own issues with problems happening within their town. They are trying to save the town and the mine from a disastrous situation. Here comes the union with the Reaper's MC club.

It all comes to a head and bad guys are bad guys. Good guys win. Becca and Puck end up together and happy.


I liked this book but something was missing and I can not figure it out.

Some things I liked:
     - I liked seeing character's from the Reaper's series pop in

     - I LOVED getting a glimpse of Painter. He is not one of my favorites but he made a mistake (or, really missed his chance) regarding Em, Picnic's daughter. Getting to see that he does find somebody made me smile. I know he hasn't had a happy ending yet but I know that it is coming.

     - Ok so, at this point it might seem weird that the 2 things I liked about this book had to do with the Reaper's but I really liked how the stories were intermixed, if that makes sense.

I find myself always going back to one of the Reaper's series when I need a fix, I am addicted to Ruger. I can't say that I will have the desire to reread this one at all.

Protecting Their Mate by Mia Thorne

It's been a couple of months since I stumbled on this series but it was one I found myself desperately waiting for the next installment.

Yes, it is a novella with 8 total books. Now, I wasn't into shifters until I began reading Protecting Their Mate but I was hooked!

Ashley is a shifter who was found locked up by her parents to attempt to keep her from acknowledging her wolf. She is found by a pack who is looking for female shifters in the human world. Once she is discovered in heat, her wolf works her way through the pack in order to find her mate. Let me tell you, the scenes are hot hot hot!

While Ashley struggles with accepting the pack and finding her mate, the pack is also struggling with another pack who seem to want Ashley.

The books are fast reads but OH SO GOOD!

The series is complete and Mia Throne is now working on a new series due out sometime this summer. I can not wait!
