As in murder of crows. The crows give them supernatural powers. Cool, huh? What else I liked about this book- I always love a Fated Mates story. Relationships are a strength in this book. The connection between the MMC and FMC is deep and passionate, as is the zexytime. I also like the familial relationship between the FMC and the club president; they bond really quickly. And the friendship that arises between the sisters in law is delightful. What I didn’t like- I can’t think of one thing, except maybe that she ate mayonnaise on her chicken sandwich. Ick!...more

It’s not an easy read because the heroine, Lucy is married and the victim of horrific domestic violence/abuse while the hero, Preacher has been devastated by a senseless tragedy. Triggers include abuse, very graphic violence, language, S.A., torture, death of a child, explicit erotic content, grief, alcohol abuse, and workplace harassment. This can get difficult to read for about the first two-thirds of the book. But if you can hack the dark stuff, it’s worth it for the last part of the book. Therein the characters get the resolution I needed them to have, and it was made sweeter by the tribulations they experienced beforehand. It really was cathartic. One of the best things about this book is the character of Rizzo. She’s smart and sassy, and I would nominate her for Character I’d Most Likely Hang Out With In Real Life. Her storyline is mostly hinted and ends on a cliffhanger, which is vexing, but her book is coming out next. Even with the soul-crushing triggers- and there are a lot, I found that this book was worth it. I enjoyed the complexity of the characters that elevated a simple story into something really special.

I’m on a Harley Wylde kick, so here’s my review of her MC Romance novel Tank.
Tank starts off with a classic trope: Damsel in Distress. Emelda’s fatherI’m on a Harley Wylde kick, so here’s my review of her MC Romance novel Tank.
Tank starts off with a classic trope: Damsel in Distress. Emelda’s father has arranged her marriage to Ernesto, back in Spain. Both men are human traffickers, drug lords, and exceptionally violent men. Lupita, Emmie’s sister and former federal agent, has gone to jail for the Dixie Reapers MC in order to ensure that they will protect Emmie because they owe her. After some difficulty, Tank and Emmie connect, in more ways than one. Before they know it, they are married and ready to stand against the Ebil interlopers.
I enjoyed this book. The audiobook is about four hours and twenty minutes long (yes, get the 4:20 jokes out of your system. I’ll wait.) and because I don’t often drive more than an hour in any direction, it’s just the right length for me. I enjoy the Dixie Reapers series, mainly because the characters are fun and I like the theme of Found Family. The Reapers enfold Emmie right into the group and because of their protective natures, would have helped her even if Lupita hadn’t taken the fall for them. They are overall a bunch of pretty cool cats. A good Contemporary Romance has characters that seem so real, and this book has that in spades. Emmie is very young and this is evident in her lack of self confidence; however, she is not thoughtless or selfish, and is certainly not bratty. I liked her. And I see where she would grow up to be a strong, confident woman. If she weren’t fictional, of course. Tank is a top-notch Book Boyfriend, strong, capable, and crazy about Emmie with the Instalove. (In case you haven’t noticed, I love the Instalove.) He’s a little less realistic than Emmie because the man never gets irritated with her or gets a zit, but Romance heroes are about fantasy fulfillment, so there you go.
The narration is terrific. I heart Umi Markkanen. She is one of my all time favorite voice actors, right up there with Conor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor. (Not quite up to Troy Duran, but nobody is, Blessed Be His Name). Her style is a little quirky but it isn’t overly cultured or snooty. She talks like real people talk, only better.

Series? Y Safety? Y Triggers- Explicit Sex, Graphic Violence (involving bodily fluids and other squishy substances), Language, Traumatic Pregnancy Loss. This is not an easy book to read, but there’s no cheating or S.A. Tropes- Damsel in Distress, Instalove, Found Family, Ebil Ex, Parental Estrangement, I Know an Ol’ Lady Mewsings What I liked- the romance was swoon worthy. And their sex life was adventurous. The main characters were likable and the bad guy and the awful mother were easy to hate. What I didn’t- The bikers from the other club weren’t really part of the plot. I guess they showed up to be name checked or something. I don’t know. What I thought about the narration- I’ve gone on about how much I enjoy this narrator before. All I will say here is that Umi was excellent. I received an advance review copy for free and this is my voluntary review....more
