Chaos is a more emotional story of Shy and Tabby. Two very shattered people that can destroy each other with just words.

“I’d like to know why you dialed my number tonight, but if you don’t wanna share that shit, that’s cool too. I’ll just say, babe, I’m glad you did. You need a safe place just to forget shit and escape, I’ll give it to you. Tonight. Tomorrow. Next week. Next month. That safe place is me, Tabby.

Holy Hotness!! 

This book is a continuation of Tack’s MC from Motorcycle Man (Dream Man #4)

Tabby is the feisty, beautiful "Princess" of the Chaos MC and the biggest troublemaker.

Shy gets a callout to get Tabby out of a party and under control... or do his best to try to get her to behave.

Shy is so worried about Tabby becoming everything she shouldn’t, that he goes overboard with his lesson.

Tabby has always had a crush on the hot biker and his harsh lesson sent her running away from him and the MC. Months go by with only a few clashes with Shy but nothing is really settled.

Then one day… Shy gets a sucker-punch straight to the heart. Tabby is getting married!

Then everything goes to HELL for everyone involved…. 

“Just so I’m clear, if you make it Tab or my cut, I pick Tab. You’ll get my cut and you, personally, will not ever, brother, not ever again see me.” 

Can the one that shatters your heart be the one that repairs your soul?

“Sometimes things change, because there just isn't any way for them to stay the same.”  

Ayden Cross is a country music listening, cowboy boot wear good girl, or at least she is trying to be a good girl now.
Jet is a leather wearing, womanizing, bad boy, screaming rock-n-roller. Everything that Ayden is trying desperately to avoid, but everything she is drawn to.

The whole group is back in this book too!

I loved Rule and Shaw... I love Jet and Ayd.

Between the two of them they have enough baggage to fill a 747! They run from each other and themselves instead of toward each other. This is surprising since they give off enough sexual sparks to light the 4th of July!

“I think we're both actually pretty screwed up, but together we just work and we make each other better.”

When they finally get together the sex is HOT and the drama is just as HOT! Jet and Ayden have a lot of obstacles in their way and their happily ever after seems just out of reach.

Ayden pushes Jet away again and again to the point where he goes to Europe without her.

A tragedy strikes Ayd and Jet is right by her side to support her through all of it.

But can they ever find the same path and get to happily ever after.

Thursday Nights (Charistown #1) by Lisa N. Paul

"Words I need Words!"

This book started out a little scattered to me.

But very shortly you get into the book, it introduces you to a complex group of characters that you will soon love, hate and wonder WTH! 

Most of the book centers on Danny’s bar and the people that work and frequent there.

Max DeLucca is bartender at Danny’s. He is a strong broken Alpha- male that had his life and heart torn apart by a terrible excuse for a woman.

Janie and Lyla are best friends and have a Thursday night ritual, drinks at Danny’s.

You will soon learn that this group of people has become a close patchwork family; they meet every Thursday at the bar and every Sunday for dinner at someone’s home.

This book is a struggle to rebuild, forgive and let go of the past.  Everyone in the book has a story, some you get closure on and some are open still. 

The book blends all of the characters into the storyline seamlessly. This makes for a clear opening for book two and even three.

This is Lisa’s first book and a solid start. I can't wait to read the rest of the story.

This is my Max

“Life may not always go the way you'd planned, you may not have the perfect family, you may not be the most beautiful, but that doesn't mean you can't make the best of what you do have.”

That is a great quote from the book that describes this story.

This book switches POV between Danny and Ripper

If you don't appreciate F-Bombs this is not a book for you


Danielle West, aka Danny, daughter of Deuce President of the Hell’s Horsemen Motorcycle Club.

I enjoyed how this book picked right up where Undeniable leaves off. We begin with finding out that Eva and Deuce are having issues finding their happily ever after.   The horrible things Frankie did to Eva, Deuce and Ripper have caused emotional damage on all of the Hell’s Horseman MC. Deuce currently is trying to save both of his families, his strong hold has slowly broken and he is lost in the memories of the past.
Danny’s life has fallen apart since that nightmare. Looking at her life now, it’s a mess without any direction. Her senior year is here and nothing she ever planned is happening. She goes to the prom alone and calls for a ride. IN walks Erik “Ripper” Jacobs …. And let the fireworks start.
Ripper ends up dancing with Danny at the prom.

“Danny," Ripper whispered in my ear.
"Three songs gone by and there's some old fuckin' bitch makin' statutory rape faces at me.”

She convinces Ripper to take her anywhere but home, they go to the lake.
Danny gets Ripper to skinny dip and thing really heat up.

“He looked down at his flaccid cock.
”Congratulations," he said. "You've just fucked yourself to death.”

Ripper is 14 years older that Danny and is a sergeant to her Dad. There is one emotion that can destroy love and that is FEAR. Things go bad then…. They go really bad!

“If your old man caps me, you better be front and center at my fuckin’ funeral, cryin’ your goddamn eyes out.”

Ripper ends up leaving and blowing Danny’s already messy life to pieces.  Danny is wounded, miserable and pissed! She makes everyone else around her that way too.


That is until ZZ comes in to the picture and everything gets a little better. Then like a bomb to her life… Ripper comes back.

Danny has to make some tough decision that will affect more than just her.

Ok! no more spoilers... go read!!

This book centers on Ethan trying to get Brynne to marry him. For the life of me I can't imagine why anyone would not marry him, I would have jumped out of bed that morning and we would have been married before lunch that day!

Ever have a day that sucks?
I mean sucks like a huge Donkey ass suck?
Yeah, well that was my day. Reading is my coping method, my escape from the Donkey ass days.
This book was the best escape I had in a really long time.


The story is written in a sarcastic, witty, romantic comedy kind of way. This book made me laugh, shake my head and roll my eyes. All at the same time!
Written from Drew’s POV and hang on because he doesn't hold anything back!
Drew is perverted, arrogant and Perfect…. just ask him, he will let you know just how perfect he is.
                 

Meet Drew Evans, his life is everything he has ever wanted. He is handsome, rich, at the top of his game at work, and women throw themselves at his feet…literally.
His life is going exactly the way he wants it to, that is until he is hit by the flu! Now he is a broken, whiney and face first down on his couch.

Katherine Brooks is like a full speed nonstop train, she doesn't let anything or anyone derail her from her goals. And she slams straight into Drew Evans chest knocking him right off his expensive shoe wearing feet.

I love Kate; she can match Drew word for word in a fight and stand eye to eye without blinking. He dishes out the worst and she hands it right back on a pretty tray.  He never has to try for anything and Kate pushes him and sends him into a realm of pissed off that he has never seen!

                     “It makes me want to kiss her and strangle her at the same time. II've never been into S&M. But I’m beginning to see its benefits.”

Drew wants Kate, but he has competition. Not something he is too familiar with, remember he gets everything he wants …. Always!  Kate’s ex comes back into the picture and now he needs to make some effort… big time effort.

     “You ever seen A Christmas Story? You know toward the end when Ralphie beats the ever-loving shit out of the bully? I hope to God you've seen it. Because then you'll know exactly what I mean when I say I'm about to go real fucking Ralphie on this son of a bitch.” 

Watching Drew try to plead his case is downright hilarious! And Kate, she won’t go down without a good fight.
The other characters balance the story line perfectly!  I won’t lie, Dee Dee scares the shit out of me too!

This book is a “have to read” book.
