Unbeautifully (Undeniable #2) by Madeline Sheehan

Unbeautifully

Second book in the Undeniable series.

It starts where Undeniable ends. Danny West is the daughter of the President of the Hell's Horsemen Motorcycle Club (Deuce!!).

Erik "Ripper" Jacobs is Sergeant of Arms of the MC.

Deuce family's should be off limits. But Ripper didn't get the memo.

Three years earlier after Prom night, Ripper and Danny sleep together. They keep on trying to hide a relationship without the Club knowing. But, you can't keep a secret forever and situations will keep them apart.

Ripper is older than Danny. Ripper's first obligation is the MC. What the heck is he doing? What does he want more the girl or the MC?

And there is ZZ (another Brother) in the mix.

There is heartache, bitterness, angst in this one as much as the first one.

Things I liked:

Deuce and Eva's story continues and they are in a good place.

We get to get a glimpse at Cage (Deuce's son) and his future girl.

Cox and Kami (whom I love) and their HEA. 

I especially can't wait for Dorothy, Hawk and Jace's story.

I liked this book and will proceed to read the next one.

3/5 Fangs


Gripping her face, Ripper forced her to look at him.
“I love you,” he rasped then froze, waiting for the nauseating regret to wash over him. When it didn’t, when he only continued to look down at her, feeling nothing but a peaceful exhaustion, the kind only garnered from an entire day spent inside of a beautiful woman, his woman, he knew it was true. Erik Jacobs had finally fallen for a woman. And he’d fallen motherfucking fast and hard.

One Grave at a Time by Jeaniene Frost
Night Huntress #6

One Grave At A Time



Cat and Bones are together. Sigh. Happy.

Oh, wait... A new adventure for the couple.

When a ghost asks Cat for help, she can't deny her.

A very nasty ghost, Kramer becomes corporeal once a year on All Hallows Eve to hurt three women. Centuries ago he used to be a witch hunter and loved to burn them alive.

Cat and Bones have to figure out who are the victims before it's too late and how to save them.

They get the help of old friends including Ian, Denise, and Spade. Also three ghosts (including Fabian and Elisabeth) and a medium, Tyler.

Tyler made me laugh. His thoughts were hilarious.

I'm going to come out and say that my favorite character in this book was Ian. And I have never liked him. I have always been a Vlade's girl (after Bones) but Ian deserves his own book.

And I think I want his HEA to be ....drum roll.....Cat's mom. I love their hate for each other.

The best part of this series is that the two main characters are together. Fight together. Stay together. Strong.

No need to keep them away for ages.

3/5 Fangs.

Favorite scene:
Tyler sidled up next to me, eyeing Spade with open appreciation.
“Who’s Mr. Tall, Dark, and Delicious?”
“Her husband,” I replied, my lips twitching. “Tyler, this is Denise, and that’s Spade.”
Tyler let out a dramatic sigh as he shook Denise’s hand. “All the good ones are either straight or married, but I won’t hold it against you that he’s both.”
Denise laughed. “Great to meet you. Cat’s told me all about you.”
“And some of it’s probably true,” he teased.
Then his attention became fixed on someone behind Denise, his mouth dropping before his expression turned into an open, lascivious stare. Thoughts started to race through his mind that were so explicit, I wished I could take a bat to my head to block out my telekinetic abilities.
“Tyler, meet Ian,” I said without bothering to turn around.
“Daddy like,” Tyler breathed.
He straightened his shoulders, fixing his most winning smile on his face as he all but pushed me out of the way. The jostling turned me enough to get a view of the other vampire. Ian leaned against the doorframe, his auburn hair rustling in the breeze and turquoise eyes watching everything with his usual devilishness.
“I thought Bones looked like a little slice of heaven, but you’re the whole cake, aren’t you, sugar?” Tyler said, holding out his hand.
Ian took the praise as his due, flashing Tyler a smile that had the medium almost tripping in his approach. When he shook Tyler’s hand, Tyler let out a sigh that would’ve done a wistful teenager proud.
That face, that body . . . and you know he’s packing, look at the angle of that dangle! I heard before screaming la-la-la over and over in my mind.
“The killer ghost is still on the loose,” I announced to try to distract myself from Tyler’s enraptured musings over Ian.
“The trap didn’t work?” Spade asked, narrowing his eyes.
“Killer ghost?” Ian perked up, gently batting Tyler aside with a “Yes, yes, I’m truly stunning, but this interests me,” remark.

Fire Inside (Chaos #2) by Kristen Ashley

Fire Inside
Lanie Heron has been alone for a while. She is a character that we met in Motorcycle Man (my favorite book from 2012- TACK I miss you!). She made mistakes with her last relationship but she is ready to move on- at least in the bedroom.
She decides she likes Hop Kincaid. He is part of the Chaos Motorcycle Club. She has been watching him for a while. During one of the Chaos parties, she proposes him. At first Hop declines but when Lanie doesn't give up, he follows her to his bedroom.
Lanie wants uncomplicated. She wants one night only. Hop on the other hand wants more after the first time. This is where the story begins. Hop is trying to keep Lanie.  She is trying to run away.
This book is more romance than violence.

I love the way Kristen Ashley writes her books. I love her characters. Love the cameos by characters from her other series.
I was so happy to see Tack and Tyra (Red/Ty-Ty/Cherry) together. They are happy and still in love.
I am hoping she keeps the Chaos series for a while.

5/5 Fangs.

“What just happened?” I repeated.

Hop straightened to full height and turned to me, whereupon he explained more fully, “Lookin’ for you so I could bring you dinner, saw your car in the underground garage. Came up. Saw the security console through your door, you at your desk. Console stated security was engaged. Called Crowe. Did some snooping. Found out you liked kung pao shrimp. Ordered it. Got it. Met Crowe here. I picked the lock. Crowe bypassed your system. Now we’re eatin’ while you finish up and shut down then we’re goin’ to my place to watch some TV and spend the night.”

Undeniable (Undeniable #1) by Madeline Sheehan

Undeniable

This is the story between Eva Fox and Cole "Deuce" West.

Eva is a little girl when she meets Deuce. He is 23, she is 5. They meet at prison, where Eva is visiting her dad, Damon "Preacher"Fox who is the President of the Silver Demons Motorcycle Club. Deuce is visiting his dad, President of the Hell's Horsemen Motorcycle Club.

Little Eva is super cute and makes Deuce smile.

Through the years they meet again. But the encounters changed with time. When Eva is 18, they are attracted to each other.

Their relationship is crazy. They are together, they are apart. They are with other people. I tell you CRAZY.

We have so many characters. We have Eva's best friend, Kami. She is funny and always supports Eva. (even when Eva looses her way)

Frankie is in love with Eva since he became part of her family. He is unstable.

Chase is Kami's husband. I don't care for either men.

This story is not for the faint of hearts. This is an MC world. I believe both characters made terrible mistakes. But I think Eva had the worst luck.

There were some great scenes and great dialogue between the characters.

There was also violence and death.

My one complaint- Too many years apart. Too many.

I don't know what to say about this book. I love all three guys.
