Blurb


Jane Adams was already having the worst night of her life. Fired for refusing her boss’s advances, she never expected to witness a brutal mafia attack—or save the life of a dangerous stranger.
Alexey Baranov should have died that night. Instead, a fearless woman stepped in and killed the son of a powerful mafia boss to protect him.
Now Vincent Morello wants Jane dead.
Alexey refuses to let that happen.
Jane has spent her whole life feeling unwanted, invisible, and forgotten. But with Alexey, she’s finally seen. Claimed. Protected.
And Alexey doesn’t give up what belongs to him.
Not even for a mafia war.

Excerpt:

Pouring herself a large glass, she looked at Alexey who entered the kitchen, and she clinked her glass with his.

“To old memories.”

“I killed my father,” Alexey said.

She took a large gulp of wine, and it tasted nice, but she was not much of a wine drinker.

“What?”

“He was selling out. Giving up turf, land, and becoming a mockery to the mafias in the area, and even the MC. They were using him, because they felt he was weak. He was not a fighter.”

“What happened?”

“One night, an MC group comes into one of the bars we own, and I’m there with my friends. We’re having a good time. This MC club walks in and says this is their turf now. They start to take over. I call my dad for backup, and he tells me to get out, that the club is no longer ours. He doesn’t even put up a fight. But I do. Me, Nikolai, Makar, and Igor, we took on the whole MC and destroyed them. We took the club. My father was fuming. He threatened to cast me out, and I realized I couldn’t follow a coward. I killed him and anyone else who believed it was time to step aside for them. I took the Bratva back and I pushed the mafias out. Morello is one that attempted to take from my father.”

“I guess we both have a past,” she said.

“We do.”

****

Alexey fell to the sofa with Jane in his arms. He wasn’t sure what they were laughing about. The wine flowed, and it felt good to relax with her.

He cupped her waist and stared into her brown eyes. Jane had opened up to him tonight, and he wasn’t disgusted with her. He understood her a little more. She couldn’t stand to see injustice play out.

That was why she ran down Frank Morello. That was why she helped kill that guy all those years ago. They had tried to hide it, but those kids had been able to save so many, and they probably didn’t even realize it.

“What were we talking about?” Jane asked.

Alexey leaned in close, and he took a chance and kissed her. He’d been thinking about kissing her for a long time, and rather than wait or ask permission, he took the kiss he wanted.

She let out a little moan, and then her hands went to his chest. “Alexey?” she asked.

He pulled away and waited.

Jane looked up at him, then she cupped his face, pulled him down, and kissed him. Running his hand down her side, he cupped her hip and growled against her flesh.

His cock hardened, and he tugged at her pajama shorts and slid his hand up the inside of her thigh to stroke her pussy. She cried out and he swallowed it down as he slid a finger between her wet slit.

He touched her clit, moving his fingers from side to side, and all over, as he massaged her. He stroked his tongue across her bottom lip, and she gasped, to which he thrust his tongue into her mouth.

Pulling his hand from her pussy, he moved back and tugged at her shorts, not letting up until they tore beneath his grip. She let out a giggle, and he laughed with her, but he was determined to get her naked. Within seconds, the shirt was gone, and he stroked his fingers across the few mottled bruises that remained on her stomach.

“No one is ever going to hurt you again,” he said.

He tugged her over his lap, so that she straddled him. Sinking his fingers into her hair, he tugged her down, pulled her closer, and kissed her harder. She let out a moan.

He loved the sounds she made, and she reached for his pants, opening the button, and easing the zipper down. She reached in, pulled his cock out, and stroked him.

Running his hands down her back, he went to her ass and gripped her flesh, tightening his grip. It felt so good, he didn’t want to let her go.

The grip she had on his cock tightened and he groaned, because he was so close to coming. He felt like a fucking teenage boy, which made no sense. He was a full-grown man with plenty of experience.

He couldn’t get enough of her. She was not like any other woman he had ever known, and he found that unusually intoxicating. She was stunning. Beautiful. She rocked his whole freaking world.

A woman had never made him feel this way. They usually disappointed him, or he got bored. Three months of Jane in his life, and he was not bored.

He moved his hand between them, cupped her pussy, slid his finger between her wet slit, and then pressed a finger inside her. She was tight and he looked up at her.

“Are you a virgin?”

Abigail Gardner is done being the “safe” girl her cheating ex claimed she was. To celebrate a year of freedom, she does something reckless—she walks into an exclusive sex club and spends one unforgettable night with a masked stranger.

Then the mask comes off.

Her mystery man is Roman Brown. Her older, billionaire boss.

Roman has wanted Abigail for far longer than she realizes, and now that he’s finally had a taste of her, he’s not willing to let her go. Abigail agrees to one rule: inside the office, they stay professional. Outside of it? Roman plans to worship every inch of her.

What starts as a no-strings fling quickly turns into something far more dangerous. Because Roman has secrets. Secrets tied to Abigail’s past. And when the truth comes out, their explosive chemistry may not be enough to save them.

Maeve

At sixteen, I learned my fate.
On my twenty-first birthday, I wouldn’t be celebrating—I’d be handed over as payment for my parents’ sins.
I fought. I rebelled. I tried to escape.
None of it mattered.
Now I belong to him.
And my life is no longer my own.

Draven

I never wanted the deal.
But the moment I saw her, I knew one thing—she was mine.
I won’t break her. I won’t hurt her.
I’ll protect her.
Earn her trust.
Make her choose me … even if she has no choice at all.
But someone wants her dead.
And if her own family would rather see her buried than delivered to me…
What aren’t they telling me?
Because I’m already too far gone.
Maeve is mine.
And I’m not letting her go.

“I’m about to call for lunch,” he said, stopping when he caught sight of me. “Care to join me?”

“Sure.”

I’m trying to act casual. I’m wearing a simple white summer dress, with straps wide enough to cover my bra straps, but it only falls to my knees.

Draven walked into his office, holding the door open for me, and I walked past him and to one of the sofas. He has two, on either side of a coffee table. Near the main window sits his desk.

“How are you?” Draven asked.

It’s nice to know his name. “I’m good.”

Draven sits down opposite me, and I can’t help but watch him. His gaze is on me as well.

“How old are you?” I asked.

“Thirty-five.”

“Wow,” I said.

“Does my age bother you?”

“No.” I happened to like the fact he was older. Not that I had been around a lot of men my own age, but I had seen a lot of movies to know they were not exactly mature. Draven looked mature.

“How is your neck?” he asked.

“Fine.”

His sleeves are rolled up, showing off his thick, heavily inked arms.

“Did you like getting tattoos?” I asked.

He sat back and looked at me. “Did you?”

I couldn’t help but smile. “I asked you first.”

“And seeing as I am the oldest, you will answer me.”

“Yes, I did. They hurt, but then a needle digging into your flesh is going to hurt.”

He chuckled. “I rather like the pain. After a while, I didn’t feel it.”

“That was the same for me.”

I don’t want to talk about ink, or pain.

“Maeve, come here,” he said.

In that moment, I was like a moth to a flame. I walk around the coffee table and stand right in front of him.

At first, Draven doesn’t move or make a sound, but then he takes hold of my hand. He strokes his finger across my inner wrist, and it felt so good, I didn’t want it to stop.

“Tell me what is going on in that mind of yours,” he said.

“Nothing.”

“You think I don’t see the interest in your eyes, Maeve?” he asked. “Do you think I didn’t notice you were looking at me from your bedroom window, or that last night you wriggled against my dick because you felt how hard I was getting?”

I thought I had been subtle, but I felt him pressing against me, and I had enjoyed it.

The moment he tugged on my wrist, I didn’t fight and instead fell against him. Draven is a man in charge and knows what he wants. He moves my knees into position so that I straddle him.

“Is this what you want?” he asked, both his hands at my hips as he held me in place.

I feel the hard ridge of his cock, even through his pants.

“Yes.”

I don’t fight him, and I’m not afraid. Draven has already proven he doesn’t want to hurt me, so I place my hands on his shoulders and stare into his eyes, refusing to look away. He has intense brown eyes. I had a feeling they were probably scary to look at, especially if he was staring at an enemy. I was not his enemy.

I’d never been this bold with a man. I had learned to fight, and I had gone dancing. I rebelled in the hope of changing my fate, but nothing was going to help me. My fate had been sealed long before I was even born.

I was going to belong to Draven Adams. From the age of sixteen, I’d been so pissed about that. I hadn’t even known his name, nor who he was, just that I was going to be owned by a man. I would mean nothing. I would be nothing, and there was no way I would be able to change that.

Now, I am so happy to be owned by him. I know it is crazy and fucking stupid. All this time, I should have been looking for a way to escape, but why? I am happy. I know there were probably many people that had been in my position who were dead now. I was lucky. Draven had no intention of killing me. I didn’t know exactly what he was going to do to me, but I also didn’t care.

Cupping his face, I feel bold, like I am tired of holding back. For a long time, I have wanted to scream and keep it in place, and now I close that small distance between us and kiss him. I kiss my captor, and I don’t let go.

I love the feel of his lips against mine, and one of the hands on my hips slides up and grips the back of my neck. I hesitate, expecting the fear to come flooding back, but he’s holding the back of my neck, and the other hand is gripping my hip tightly. There is no mistaking what is going on right now. Draven is touching me. I want his hands all over me, touching me, exploring me.

There is a knock at the door, and I pull away.

“Fuck off,” Draven said, growling the words.

“That’s not very nice,” I said.

“I’m not a very nice man.”

It was on the tip of my tongue to argue with him, but all too soon, Draven has his hands on my waist, and he’s spun me around so that my back is to him.

“What are you doing?” I asked.

His Beauty, Her Beast – 5 out of 5 stars.

Maeve Taylor is twenty one years old and reached the point in her life that the sole purpose of her being born was all for has now finally arrived. At the young age of sixteen Maeve learnt that she was nothing more than a pawn to be used in a game she never even asked to play a part in. Her only role is to be used in payment for a blood debt created by her parents. Once she learned her role she did everything she could to rebel, change her hair, get tattoos but nothing could stop this process from being honoured. In her mind her life was over before it had even begun. Draven Adams was the one to collect the outstanding debt from the Taylor family after his father had passed. All debts to be collected went to him. At the age of thirty five he wasn’t really interested in the debts, he had his own empire he had made and he ruled it with an iron fist. However one look at Maeve and the fire in her eyes and he instantly knew that she belonged to him. He would claim her and protect her and treat her as the precious gem she truly is. All whilst taking his revenge on those stupid enough to try to take her away from him. Wow, this was a great read! Maeve may not have had much of a choice in her life but she didn’t let it break her or snuff out her light, she is stronger than she even realises. Draven is a man surrounded in mystery with more power and capable of so much destruction that Maeve does not fully understand the lengths her man will go to to love and protect her. Even though the situation they come together by is not an everyday occurrence their chemistry is there and slowly builds as they spend time together and Draven continues to surprise Maeve with his charm, actions and smiles reserved just for her. Their passion is scorching hot and the story hides some twists and turns along the way that you would not expect. It was a great read that I thoroughly enjoyed with an epilogue that gave us a perfect ending. Loved it. Happy Reading.
Please note that I was given an arc of this book for my honest review which is exactly what I have given.

Maeve 

I was sixteen when I learned that I was going to be sold. My parents had done something really bad, and on my twenty-first birthday, I was going to be payment for those bad things.

I tried to rebel.

I tried to fight.

There was no getting away from it. I will be at the mercy of him. He will decide my fate.

But, I was not going to hurt her.

Some people want to hurt their property. I don’t want to hurt Maeve. I want to protect her.

Slowly, I earn her trust.

However, her family has sent someone to kill her.

Larissa is different. Getting shot was a wakeup call, and there’s no way she could just turn around the clock and go back to life before. Her friend, or boyfriend, hadn’t stuck around. He had run away.

The only person who had been willing to save her was George or Big Dick, or whatever he liked to be called.

Larissa is everywhere. No matter where he turned, Big Dick couldn’t get away from her. After running into her at a bar, he does the most ridiculous thing and makes a bet.

He has one year to get Larissa in his bed.

For some odd reason, Big Dick isn’t being his usual cruel self, and Larissa finally sees the man beneath the leather cut. She never intended to start a secret affair, but she also couldn’t deny sneaking around with him was a lot of fun.

Until the truth comes out, and Larissa learns that everything Big Dick had been saying and doing to her was just to win some kind of stupid bet. Heartbroken and betrayed, Larissa refuses to talk to Big Dick again.

He made a mistake. He didn’t intend to fall in love with Larissa, and seeing her hurt is killing him. He’s the only one responsible.

But, he gets a second chance, and this time, he is not going to do blow it.

The only problem is, he took his eye off the ball and the enemy is now closing in. They are known for breaking the rules, and Big Dick is going to need to make a choice. Protect his club, or save the woman he loves. Where will his loyalties fall?

Two shots of tequila, and Larissa felt rough. She hadn’t been sick, nor had she slept in. Baking was a consolation, but it also wasn’t exactly helping right now, because the baked goods were making her a little queasy.

Her dad had stayed up and made her a hot cup of tea, which she had appreciated. They didn’t talk, and she certainly didn’t tell him she took part in a dare—a crazy, stupid dare, but one she couldn’t get out of her mind.

She did not want to think about that kiss with Big Dick. It could have been anyone walking through that door. She didn’t know what had come over her. She had looked to all the ladies, and it seemed they already knew she couldn’t do it. So, she did, without a question asked. She just got right in and kissed him.

 Of all of the people to enter the damn bar, it had to be Big Dick. Although, that could have gone a lot worse. Kissing any of the other men at the bar that night would have been a nightmare. Kissing Smokey would have been so wrong. Carlos, Ugly Beast, and Hunter, all of them were taken, and she was no cheater. She believed in the sanctity of marriage. It was a sacred vow that should be protected at all costs, not brushed over as if it meant nothing. Marriage meant something to her. It always had and always would.

She finished serving the last of the morning rush customers, and so far, the bakery still had a lot to offer. With the shop empty, she quickly took a quick trip to the back to gather more baked goods to fill the stands so it was bursting to the seams.

As she was picking up the brownies, she heard the doorbell ring, alerting her to more customers, and she quickly rushed back to find George standing in the shop. It was then she realized in her mind that she had been calling him Big Dick. She took a deep breath. She liked that she always called him George.

“George,” she said. “Good morning.”

It was Saturday morning, and she glanced over at him, trying not to look at his lips. That kiss had been a dare, and it didn’t matter. George hated her and didn’t like her around the club, which is why she always stayed away. Although her friends had invited her, she tried not to visit the club so they could enjoy their time without her around.

“Morning, beautiful,” he said.

This made her frown. George had never been nice to her, and more often than not, he treated her like a pain in the ass.

“What can I get you?” she asked, putting the items she had gathered into place, and the tray on the back counter behind her.

“How about you and me going out for coffee?”

Again, this was new.

“Uh, no, thank you. I’m working.”

“What are you doing after work?”

“I’ve got an appointment with Hailey at the beauty parlor,” she said, still frowning.

“Why?”

“Because I asked Hailey to help me with some things, and she promised she would.”

She wanted to learn how to put on makeup. For Christmas her father had gotten her a beauty set. It had surprised her but also delighted her. He had listened to her constantly ramble on about the new beauty parlor and how much she loved it, and he had paid attention. That meant a lot to her. The only snag, like most things in her life, was the fact she didn’t know how to put makeup on. She felt like in most cases, mothers were there to help.

Her mother wasn’t around. Just as she hadn’t been there for Mother’s Day, or prom, or the day she had gotten her first menstrual cycle. Between herself and her dad, that had been an experience she didn’t want to repeat. Then came the sex talk.

At least her father had been honest. He hadn’t held anything back. He was the town pastor and took his role seriously, but at no point did he want his daughter to follow in his footsteps. He wanted her to make her own choices.

Which was what her mother had done. No one in town knew what had happened to her mother, but she did. Her father had always been truthful. Her mother had been a wild child, a whirlwind, and Jonah had fallen hard. He thought she had wanted a happy life, a marriage, a child, but it had lasted only a couple of years. Then her mother had felt trapped. She didn’t want to be attached to the same man and she didn’t want a kid around her neck. Without a backward glance, she had divorced her father and just left town, never to be seen or heard from again. They didn’t know if she was alive or dead.

Over the years, her father had gotten over her. Larissa knew that. The pictures of her had come down, to be replaced by the memories she and her father had made. She often wondered if her father was worried that she, herself, would be wild and want to run off into the sunset. Larissa was nothing like that. She wanted a happy life. To fall in love with someone who loved her just as much. A family. She had to stop saying what she wanted, because she was starting to think it wasn’t going to happen.

Larissa wanted to be the mother her own mother wasn’t.

“Maybe another time?” George asked.

“Why?” she asked.

“Why, what?”

“You’re confusing me, George. You don’t like me, remember? No one wants me around.” She laughed.

“Yeah, well, maybe I’ve changed my mind.”

Hold on and be prepared for twists, turns and deceptions you don’t see coming. This is not your usual MC series. The men are complex and when they make a mistake they really do. What’s the saying,  Go big or go home”? This applies to the men of Hell’s Bastards MC. This is George and Larissa’s story. George aka Big Dick, is the latest victim of his own stupidity. When a bet goes sideways and Larissa discovers the truth, George realizes the devastating mistake he’s made. The groveling that ensues isn’t tedious but when danger surfaces, no one is safe. This needs to be read to truly appreciate this book. It has danger, love, loss, violence, redemption.  This is a Must Read!

George aka Big Dick find redemption with the lovely Larissa? This series is amazing and Big Dick is my favorite book in the series. What a gem of a read!

Big Dick – Hell’s Bastards MC  – Book 6 – By – Sam Crescent

This is the sixth book in the amazing Hell’s Bastards MC Series and it features around Big Dick/George Erickson and Larissa Adams. The story begins several months after Harlow and Hunter’s wedding and the last attack that saw Harlow hurt along with Hailey and Larissa both suffering from gunshot wounds that they caught in the crossfire from their attack from Cadeon and the rest of the Twisted Bastards MC. Larissa has caught the attention of Big Dick and he doesn’t even realise why. He knows he likes to keep an eye on her, he finds her in every room he enters, he doesn’t understand why, he just does. She is the flickering light burning bright and he is the moth that cannot keep away but he doesn’t realise it is love that keeps drawing him towards her. Without understanding his own true feelings Big Dick makes a bet with Carlos, Raven’s husband. It is a callous bet that he can get Larissa into his bed within a year and he doesn’t even realise the huge mistake he is making when he agrees to it or what he could potentially lose if it is ever discovered. Larissa is a little suspicious of Big Dick as he has never been flirty towards her before, he always thought she was prim and proper, a bit of a prude and thought herself above the MC which was never the case at all. However now he is being civil and once she sees a different side to him, a sweet, kind, considerate and funny side Larissa begins to see that there is so much more to him than she ever thought possible. She begins to let her guard down and fall for him wholeheartedly, then reality sets in, truths are discovered, hearts are broken, relationships are irrevocably changed and the threat to the Hell’s Bastards MC in the form of Cadeon and the Twisted Bastards is still out there and stronger than ever. This is a great addition to a really enthralling MC series that is subject matter this author excels at. The push and pull between Larissa and Big Dick has been previously hinted at but you could tell Big Dick was fighting it as he believed Larissa was not cut out for the MC world. By taking this stupid bet and forcing himself to get to know her he is continually surprised by her and that is something that rarely happens to him. She is not at all what he thought and finds himself wanting to be with her more and more. We also see a different side to Big Dick at first he is cocky, arrogant and as his name suggests a bit of a dick but as he opens up more we see a tender, loving side to him. There is definitely more to him than I initially thought. When the truth is discovered his confusion over his feelings and then his tenacity to regain his woman’s trust is all so beautiful to read. He is completely swoonworthy as he tries to win back his woman and I adored seeing that side of him. This story is well written and engaging from beginning to end. It is packed with love, romance, spicy scenes, action, family and humour and of course the brotherhood of Hell’s Bastards MC that we know and love. I can’t wait to see more of Hailey and Kinky they need to find their happily ever after and also seeing Brick fall is no doubt going to be exciting. Still lots to look forward to as the club continues to fight for survival and to protect its own. Their is a happily ever after for the couple but the threat remains unresolved. Overall a great story that is a great addition to a truly great MC series. Happy Reading.
Please note that I was given an arc of this book for my honest review which is exactly what I have given.

Massimo Salvatore hates public functions. They’re a waste of time, and he has no interest in making friends within the Russo Mafia. He has his place, and no one is going to take it from him. The only reason he goes, is for one person. Adelina Ferri. She is funny, sweet, sexy, and she wears the worst clothes he has ever seen.

Adelina’s parents are embarrassed by her. They force her to wear clothes that are too large, and not at all flattering. However, soon it would all be over. She has learned that she is engaged to a man who has a history of hurting his wives. All of them are dead, and if she marries him, it will be a guaranteed death sentence.

When Massimo learns the truth, he cannot allow it to happen. Adelina is too kind, too good, to be allowed to be at the mercy of that … dick.

There is only one solution. He will marry her.

Her place is not as a Salvatore, and there are those in the Russo Mafia who will not let her forget it. However, when she is with Massimo, everything else fades. To everyone else, he is a monster, but to her, he is her savior.

He stopped her from dying. He has given her a future, but for how long. There is a traitor amongst the Russo mafia. One that is circling, intent on taking over. Massimo will not allow that to happen.

When his wife is taken, it is a race against the clock. But who is behind the threat, and will he make it in time?

Excerpt:

At the start of this engagement, Massimo had intended for his wedding night to be fake. He was not going to put Adelina through the pain of losing her virginity.

Only, they had gotten to their wedding night, and seeing her in her gown, being near her, smelling that hint of vanilla mixed with cinnamon, was a tempting combination. She made him ache so damn bad. He’d been wanting her since the moment he turned at the church and saw her walking down the aisle toward him.

To him, Adelina had looked absolutely stunning. He’d been drawn to her throughout the ceremony, and even at the after-party. Dancing with her had been a dream. She fit against him as if she was always supposed to be there. Absolutely breathtaking.

And now, as the door closed behind them for their wedding night, he had seen the looks from some of the women. He’d even seen Lily-Mae talking to his wife earlier, and he had sensed her withdrawal, and it pissed him the fuck off.

Staring across the room at her, with the door now locked, he released his jacket and cleared his throat.

“If you don’t want to … I understand,” Adelina said.

He looked at her, and then with purpose he closed the distance between them so he was right in front of her, and she had no way of escaping.

“You understand?” he asked.

“I mean, I get it, if you want to, you know, not … do what needs to be done.”

He reached out and stroked a curl back behind her ear. “I don’t know who has gotten into your head, but unless you don’t want my touch, Adelina, I have every intention of consummating this marriage tonight.”

He was not going to allow room for doubt from anyone. Adelina would leave this room his bride, and that was all he had to say about it.

Stroking some of her hair back behind her ear, he stared into her eyes and cupped her cheeks. At the church, he had been so tempted to ravish her mouth, but he’d seen the slight panic in her eyes and held back for her. Now, he didn’t need to hold back. He could do whatever the hell he wanted, and right now, he desperately wanted to kiss her.

He touched his lips to hers, tentative at first, and then he deepened the kiss, sinking his fingers into her bound hair. He removed the few clips that had pulled her hair back. Massimo was already addicted to this woman, and he couldn’t seem to stop himself.

With his other hand, he rounded her back, gliding down, going toward the curve of her ass. He pulled her in close so she would be able to feel exactly what she did to him. There was no holding back for him. He was hard as fucking rock.

“I think it’s time for us to wash away the day,” he said.

He took her hand and led her into the bathroom. If he tore off her clothes and just took her, he feared he might make her terrified of sex. That was not what he wanted. He had a sneaking suspicion that one time with Adelina would never be enough. He was already addicted to the feel of her lips against his.

I am such a sucker for these stories that author writes–this one was so great. Loved how the hero stands up for and takes care of the injustice that heroine faced. The OTT protector vibe was just great?? I LOVED THIS ONE.

Sam has done it again! I absolutely LOVED this Mafia story. She has a way of creating such wonderfully atypical Mafia stories. Massimo is part of the Russo Mafia. He is feared for a reason, he’s a monster. Adelina’s family is part of the Russo Mafia. She has been treated horribly by her family and now her father has arranged a marriage to a monster. He has been married before but is wives and other women are all dead. She realizes what her future will be and has reconciled that she won’t live much longer. Massimo sees Adelina at family functions and always looks forward to talking to her. She breaks the monotony for him and he can’t believe the horrendous dresses she wears. When Adelina tells him to her upcoming nuptials, Massimo knows he can’t let it happen. His solution is to marry her. This begins the dark, dangerous, emotional ride that grabs you and doesn’t let go. This is a fantastic read! I received an advance review copy, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

When Astrid Sinclair was sixteen years old, she had her first encounter with Lord, the lone wolf who lived near No Wolves Road. He stopped her from getting run over, as she was so engrossed in her book. Lord was not a man anyone wanted to mess with. A grumpy, lonely wolf, with no pack.

But, he was also a man she couldn’t stop thinking about. That’s why she answered his ad for a housekeeper and chose to work at his ranch.

Lord hated books. Yet, every day, he went to the library where Astrid worked. He needed a cook and a cleaner, and Astrid answered that ad. The job was hers.

He wasn’t good with people, but Astrid called to a part of him he didn’t know existed. Astrid was his, he was sure of it. One night, during the full moon, he went to her, and he couldn’t control his need. She gave her virginity to him, and in return, he called her a convenience.

Hurt. Betrayed. She tried to forget about him. She tried to build a life away from him, even as she continued to work. However, there were forces working to bring them together. Neither could fight it.

They were at the mercy of their needs. Would they be able to forget their past and fight for their future?

“I’m not going to do anything,” Lord said.

Blake looked at him, doubtful.

“I’m never close to home during a full moon, and I have no intention of going back there until after the full moon has come and gone.” That was as clear as he could get.

“You’re not. Won’t you starve?”

“I have already packed myself some food to get by.” He knew he was acting strangely, and the best way to deal with that problem was to keep a wide berth.

Astrid was the problem, as was the full moon. If he kept his distance, all would be okay.

He and Blake continued to fix the rest of the fences that had broken down. It didn’t matter how often he did this job, it was a never-ending task. Fences wore over time and constantly needed fixing. It was a job he liked to do himself, and not rely on anyone else. After they got through the fixing, he took his lunch case and let Blake take the car back to the house.

He made his way toward the forest that was far from his property, but also a nice, secluded spot that meant he never interacted with anyone else. In all the years he’d been at No Wolves Road during a full moon, he’d thankfully avoided other packs.

Lord knew he was an anomaly to most of the packs. He knew there were always horror stories about wolves expelled by packs. When he was first expelled, he had feared the rabid taking over. Becoming rogue. Hurting people. Even though he wasn’t the biggest fan of humans, he didn’t want to hurt anyone. He only hurt people in self-defense. And that was rare.

He found his spot, which was near an old-looking tree. This is where he spent a lot of full moons. There were occasions he would run, but he would always come to rest at the thickest trunk, and this is where he sat, opening his lunch tray and taking out one of the many burritos Astrid had prepared just that morning. She hadn’t known he’d been watching her. There were parts of the house where he could stand and just look at her without her knowing. Although, she had known someone was watching her, with the way she kept looking over to where he stood.

The burrito was delicious. She had made some kind of breakfast meat, rice, beans, cheese, and wrapped it all in a tortilla. It tasted so good, and within a few bites, it was all gone.

This is why he stole a second one, and he took a nice large bite out of it, stuffing his face as he did, trying to think of someone other than Astrid. This morning, she had worn a pair of jeans and an oversized sweater that kept riding up over her stomach every time she reached for something off the top shelf. He couldn’t get the image out of his mind. Not that he would ever want to. She looked amazing.

The temptation to close the distance between them and press his face against her stomach had been so strong. He didn’t know how he was able to avoid it.

Lord couldn’t deny he had gotten closer to her. There had been a moment when the temptation to pull her into his arms had been so strong, but he had avoided it and just stole the burritos, along with the cookies.

He finished the two burritos he had taken, along with the five cookies. It was in that moment, he didn’t know what he was going to do about food tomorrow. There was no way he could go back to the house.

Astrid was too much temptation. He couldn’t deny it. Even now, as he sat leaning against his favorite tree trunk, he couldn’t stop thinking about her. The delicate curve of her neck. The sweetness of her body as it pressed against him. He felt his cock start to thicken and his need getting stronger. Lord wanted her desperately. But she was human. There was no way he was going to stop her.

And he thought about that day, all those years ago, when he’d been minding his own business. She’d caught his attention for just a brief second, and he figured humans were crazy, with their heads so focused on books. He was not going to let anything happen to her.

He’d seen the danger, and it was like his wolf couldn’t stand it. He could blame his wolf, but the truth was, neither could he.

He felt compelled to protect Astrid. He had a feeling he knew why, but Astrid was a human, and he was never going to mate with a human. These feelings had to stay dead. It would never work.

  • Astrid & Lord were wonderfully written. Author has a way of delivering a great story with steamy chemistry while throwing in a great groveling hero. This makes for such a great quick read. I really do love the No Wolves Road Series and Book 3 was really great (as is the other 2 books in the series).

Knox works alone.

As a contract killer, he will do any job for the right price. However, that also means saving people. His current job is to keep a rich man alive, before his current wife kills him. Thankfully, his beautiful PA, Ava Martin, is happy to help him.

Three years ago, Ava found herself at the mercy of a serial murdering rapist. She would have been his next victim, until Knox saved her. She witnessed him kill a man, but she didn’t care. Knox would keep her alive, so long as she agreed to work for him. That day, Ava fell in love, and she’d been falling for this man ever since.

As for Knox, he couldn’t live without Ava. She had taken his empty world, and filled it with so much more.
But, he would not cross that line. Ava worked for him. That didn’t mean he wasn’t tempted.

Until, one day, he gave into temptation and finally claimed her virginity. He cannot stay away from Ava. He craves her. But, his greed will come at a price. Will he be willing to pay it to see his woman again?
