The Devil’s Host MC: The Complete Series 

by Shari Slade 

Publication date: February 12th 2017 

Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance

💀 Synopsis 💀 

Meet the dangerous enforcer of The Devil’s Host MC in this complete bundle!

When a big scary biker shows up at Jimmy's Diner fifteen minutes before the end of my shift—covered in tattoos and looking at me like I'm on the menu—I should flip the open sign to closed. 

But I don't. 

I'm too used to doing what I've been told. Too used to working and struggling and surviving to do anything different. A closed sign wouldn't stop him anyway. He's here to collect a debt. And I'm the only one left to pay. 

💀Excerpt💀

I can’t process all of him at once. He’s that big. He is scruff and muscle and a white T-shirt tucked into dusty jeans. He looks weathered and road weary, like most of Jimmy’s clientele, but…more. Everything about him is intense. His knife-blade cheekbones. His heavy brows.

His blue eyes flash icy heat, and some animal instinct tells me this man isn’t looking for sass, that if he finds it, he might do something about it, something I won’t like at all.

He’s made himself comfortable in the booth with his leather jacket tossed on the opposite side along with a sleek black helmet. I’m pretty sure there’s a motorcycle parked out front now to match his accessories. If only I’d heard the rev of an engine and the spray of gravel, but I was too busy humming and watching the clock. A warning would’ve been nice. I might have locked the door a few minutes early, even if it did mean Jimmy would dock my pay.

No. I wouldn’t have locked a customer out. But I’d have braced myself better.

His hands are massive and flat on the tabletop. Tattoos crisscross his blunt knuckles, the ink broken by spidery scars. It takes my brain precious seconds to decipher the blue-black loops and whirls as letters.

It’s like he’s put them there for inspection. But not the “clean enough for supper, ma’am?” kind of inspection, the “how much damage do you think these can do?” kind.

A lot of damage. That’s the answer. A lot. Those are knuckles that have been through walls and windows. Flesh and bone.

I want to say we’re closed, but Jimmy’d can my ass for turning away a paying customer. I want to run back to the kitchen and get Harry to tell him to take his business elsewhere, but Harry isn’t any match for this man. And I’m frozen in place anyway. I can’t peel my eyes away from his hands.

I stare harder, and it hits me that the letters over his knuckles form words.

Lost. Soul.

Some fear inside me eases, because that’s almost romantic. Lost souls and lone wolves. Desperadoes. If he were really terrible, he wouldn’t have to advertise. The truly dangerous men blend in.

“Not much of a talker, are you?” he says.

I try for caustic, but the words slip out as half whispers. “Not when I don’t have anything to say.”

He laughs again, only softer this time. More smug. “I can respect that.”

Him respecting anything about me seems like the most ridiculous thing yet. Even sillier than me standing here for long minutes without taking his order. My gaze drifts up his colorful forearms, across his chest, and over the hard pecs I can make out through thin cotton. His neck, corded with muscle and more ink, flexes under my scrutiny.

Everything about him is hard, except for his mouth.

His lips look soft. And pinker than they should be. A sensual mouth, curled into a smile that says I know everything you’re thinking, and yeah you’re exactly right. A smile that says test me, please. A smile that says I’m hungry and you look like cake.

Fuck me. I want to be cake.

💀Review💀

     I adored all of the books is this scorching hot and dark series. Star and Noah have intense chemistry together. Noah is a bad boy biker. He is also a dirty talking, alpha male. Star is a waitress in a diner that is just trying to get by everyday. After reading Ride Me Hard Book 1, I became a fan of Shari Slade. I have added my review for Book 1 and Book 4. I highly recommend the whole series, The Devil Host MC. 

Ride Me Hard is 4 1/2 Hot MC Riding Stars!!

     Star is a waitress at Jimmy's Diner. Star doesn't really like her job and dislikes the pay and tips. She is barely making ends meet and has to keep her job at all cost. Star is often bothered by customers. She has a run in with the local police officer, Officer Wade. Officer Wade feels that he can touch Star inappropriately, instead of escorting her home. Star is used to doing as she is told to survive. She is not happy with her life, but unsure how to change it.

     Noah is a member of the Devil's Host Motorcycle Club. His role is as an enforcer. Noah collects debts. He makes people pay one way or another, but people will pay. Noah goes to the diner looking to collect on a debt or get answers. Unfortunately for Star, she is the only left to answer and/or pay the debt. Noah is an intimidating, tattooed biker. He is a dirty talking bad boy. 

     Ride Me Hard is the first book in the The Devil's Host Motorcycle Club. This book start off quick and dirty, which I loved. It centers around a motorcycle club and biker. He is definitely an alpha male. Noah loves to be bossy, but can be a sweet talker when he wants to. Star and Noah are attracted to each other. These two are scorching hot together. Yum! 

     This is my first book by Shari Slade, and it will not be my last one. I highly recommend Ride Me Hard. If you like a dirty talking alpha male or love MC books, than this is a book that you should read. 

Overall Story = 4 1/2 Stars

Hotness / Chemistry= 5 Stars

Alpha Male / Bad Boy = Yes

Cliffhanger = Yes

Recommend to Others = Hell Yes!

  Hold Me Down is the fourth and final book in this incredible series. This series and the author has kept me engrossed in Noah and Star's lives. She has made me care for and fall for a he-man/caveman. I am not complaining, just stating the facts. Also I was rooting for the heroine to stand up for herself and not let anyone beat her down anymore. 

     Noah is used to a life filled with the motorcycle club, guns and violence. Noah takes what he wants in life, whether it is money, guns, women, etc. His role in the club is an enforcer. Noah has to fight to find his sister and get her back safe. He is a dirty talking alpha male. Noah does show his softer side to Star. 

    Star has always had to struggle to survive or to get by. She is also used to running, if things got too tough. Star was able to hide or escape into herself (mind), when she needed to. Star must decide if she is going to stand up and fight for / with Noah & his sister. Is she strong enough to stay, or will she run? Star is a feisty woman, who is coming into her own person (right before the reader's eye).      

    Favorite Quote:  Cherished. Loved. "You love me. Together we can do anything."

    I adore that these two flawed human beings are able to find that one person that helps them find their own sense of peace and love. They find that person who understands and accepts them warts and all. Yes this is a gritty and erotic story, but in my opinion there is so much more there. There is a story about love, loyalty and family (whether by blood or not). 

   If you have loved the previous books in series, you will be pleased with and enjoy the conclusion to Star and Noah's story. I volunteered to receive an arc copy. This is my unbiased review. I chose to purchase Hold Me Down, because I adore the book. 

Overall Story = 5 stars

Chemistry / Hotness = 5 stars

HEA = Yes

Cliffhanger = No

Alpha Male / Bad Boy = Yes

Recommend to Others = Hell Yes!

Twice by Vivian Lux

Release Blitz

Title: Twice

Author: Vivian Lux

Release Date: February 15, 2017

Callum:

I've been in love with my best friend's sister for as long as I can remember.

Her green eyes and soft body are driving me crazy.

She's back home for only a week, and I have to have her.

Even if it means I have to share her.

Grayson:

May the best man win, Cal said.

Clearly, I'm the best man here. Harper should see that.

But we agree to leave it up to her.

Then she says she can't choose.

And I realize I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make her mine.

Including make her....ours.

AMAZON

Fuck, how long had I been dreaming about kissing her? In my mind, it had been perfect, composed, a fucking sonnet in kiss-form, but the reality was desperate, anxious and full of aching need. I'd waited what - a decade now? - to kiss this woman and I crammed all that pent up longing into it like I'd never have the chance again. I growled into her mouth, needing more, but at the same time needing to hold back because more than anything, I needed this to last

Cal was already kissing down her neck, brushing away the strap to her sparkling dress and letting it fall down so that the round, creamy top of her breast was exposed. I pulled back and looked down to see that he already had her nipple in his mouth and I sucked in the air through my teeth. "Is it as good as I thought it would be?" I asked.

Cal pulled back and licked his lips, looking up at Harper who was open mouthed, her eyes heavy-lidded. "Oh it's even better," Cal said.

I wrinkled my nose, then pulled down the strap of her dress to expose her other breast. "My turn," I growled greedily.

God her breasts were just…perfect. High and sweet, with these little rosy nipples the same shade as her pretty pink lips. “These are just the prettiest shade of pink,” I told Harper, who bit her lip. I caught her gaze. “In fact, I think they’re the same pink as your lips. Do you have any other parts of you that are pink like this?”

Her lip curled into a sideways grin. “I…might…”

“Well I’m going to conduct a very thorough examination, just to make sure.”

“You’re such a goofball.”

I bent and tweaked her nipple between my teeth, the lightest little nip, just enough to make her gasp. Then I grabbed a fistful of her ass and pulled her close to me, letting her feel how hard I was. “I assure you, I am not goofing around right now. I’ve never been so serious in my life.” She bit her lip, eyes shining and gave a slight nod, and I fucking came undone again, kissing her hard before bending my lips to that perfect breast again.

As I brushed my lips up to that pearly tip, curling my tongue around it before taking it in my mouth, Cal moved around back of her. I heard the slip of metal teeth, and she shimmied a little to let her dress fall down over her hips. I stepped back and groaned to finally be able to brush my hand over her smooth, flat stomach. Cal was already on his knees, sliding her dress all the way down, but I'm a greedy motherfucker, so I put my hand between her legs first.

She yelped as a slid my finger against those soft folds, and rocked back on her heels. Cal stood up, catching her against his body as she sagged into my touch, already arching her hips against my hand in a frantic rhythm. I looked up and saw Cal watching as my fingers danced along her slit, which incidentally was a slightly darker shade of pink after all. "Is that as good as I thought it would be?” Cal growled, echoing me.

I grinned and looked up at Harper. "It's even better," I told her.

Vivian Lux loves bad boys who are good men. She lives in Upstate New York with her adorable twin boys and model-hot husband. When she isn't writing, she's reading.

🍓Sweet & Sexy With A Spicy Kick🍓

Sweet Valentine🍓

Aria Cole

 🍓 Review

        

              🍓 Knox is a wonderful combination of rugged mountain man and old fashion gentleman all rolled into one. A very endearing and sexy quality in a man and in a story. Ford Knox can be bossy when the time is right and sweet and kind at other times. He is used to spending most of his time alone. Knox is not one to chase after a woman, but when he met Valentine Marsden that all changes. Knox knows that Valentine is the one for him. So he stops by the bakery to see her and sample her treats. Knox feels an instant connection and attraction. He wants to protect and cherish Valentine. Knox is an alpha male, who loves to be bossy and talk dirty (my favorite kind of guy).

                 Valentine is a young woman, who has always worked for what she has wanted. She seems to be an old soul in a young curly body. Valentine is a independent, smart and feisty woman. She loves sugar and everything sweet, so Valentine opened a baker. She does not like Valentine's Day. The holiday that she was named after. Valentine is one who is often laughs and smiles, but all noise and constant banging coming from next door is distracting and frustrating. She has never been a boy crazy kind of girl, but when Valentine meets Knox she becomes addicted. Knox does get Valentine fired up at times, when he becomes too bossy. He likes the fight / fire in Valentine. 

                 This story is centered around a cute and fiery baker and the contractor working next door. Knox and Valentine have great chemistry. I love that they allow each other to be themselves, but make other person better by being together. Knox and Valentine have some hot, steamy scenes. These two have fun together, and I loved all their banter. Sweet Valentine is a sweet and sexy read.  I loved Sweet Valentine. I know that other readers will fall in love with the Knox and Sweet Valentine as well. I volunteered to read this arc, and this is my unbiased review. I recommend this book to anyone who loves an dirty talking, alpha male with a sweet side. 

Favorite Quotes:
                                       "Like molten chocolate running through my veins." "That sounds delicious" 
                                       "I didn't know heaven could exist right here on earth until Valentine came into my life."
                                        "Words can't describe how deep our love runs."

Overall Story -  4 1/2 Stars

Chemistry - 4 1/2 Stars

  Synopsis 🍓   

Three things sum up Valentine Marsden at this moment: she’s got a sweet tooth so deep she opened her own bakery; she hates the holiday that is her namesake; and she just might be charged with murder tomorrow morning when she strangles the contractor next door banging on the walls during the busiest week of the year. Valentine finds herself bumping into the completely sexy and totally cocky stranger more and more often. So often she’s beginning to think he’s a working man with a serious sweet tooth...

Ford Knox has spent almost twenty years secluding himself from the public, retreating to his mountain cabin after work everyday without a second thought for complicated things like women and relationships. But when the syrupy sweet and dangerously curvy bakery owner next door seems to fall right into his lap this Valentine's Day, he winds up drunk on her and desperate for more. Knox is a real man with a wicked appetite, and Valentine is the only thing he can see.

Warning: Sweet Valentine is cocky, blue-collar alpha goodness with a dash of sweet candy hearts, lush chocolate-dipped strawberries, and sawdust-scented first kisses. Grab a chocolate martini because Knox and Valentine are about to melt your insides!
