Her Ride by Rachael Orman Book Tour

Being happy. It sounds so simple. Yet, it seems that it’s always just out of reach for Shannon Ryan.

After serving overseas for six years as a female United States Marine, Ryan is finally getting out the military. But coming home to live with her biker brother and his motorcycle club is more difficult than she thought it would be. Much has changed in the years that she has been gone, including Ellis, her brother’s best friend and childhood crush.

Ellis 'Dirty' Crane is the second in command for Tormented Souls Motorcycle Club. The only thing he lives for is the club, that is until Ryan comes home, no longer the wild little girl that followed him around. The two things standing in his way of getting what he wants are Patrick, Ryan's brother and leader of the club, and Jeremiah, Ryan’s boyfriend.

Can Ellis break through Ryan’s walls? Burn them and Jeremiah down? Prove to her brother that he’s the right man for her? Or is Ryan hiding more than she’s letting on?

I love a good biker/Marine story just as much as I love MMA stories. So reading this one was something I was looking forward too. Ryan is fresh out of the Marines after 7 years and heads back home to Arizona where she will be with her family. Her family consists of her brother, Patrick and his biker club members. She is strong and doesn't take crap off anyone. That is if you don't count her boyfriend Jeremiah, he is controlling and abusive. She wants to end things because she realizes she doesn't love him and wants to move on. Ellis picks her up at the airport, she had a crush on him when she was younger. He was her older brother’s best friend after all. She may be strong-willed but she is keeping secrets from her brother, but she has a plan and Her Ride will be just for her. Or so she thinks. Parts of Ryan's life will rip your heart out but Ellis, the big, bad, sexy as hell biker will mend it for you. Looking forward to Patrick's story. This is a first for me by Rachael Orman and I loved it. Can't wait to read more from her. So if you like a great story with sexy bikers, pain, heartbreak and love, then grab this one and enjoy the ride.

This is a book which deals with a number of difficult issues in a new and refreshing way. It turns stereotypes on their head, and made me both smile and cry. The main characters are so vividly brought to life, that I became invested in their futures. I've read many biker stories, so got the backdrop, yet it was never really a feature of the book, which I rather liked. I read military stories, but again that was in the background. Our focus is firmly on Ryan and Ellis; a friendship and an unexpected romance. It was hot, it was thought provoking and it ends promising us another story - and I for one cannot wait!

I really enjoyed this book -- it was not what I was expecting and that it made it so much better.

I can't wait to read Patrick's story.

What do you do when your fresh start turns into a nightmare? Ireland just wanted to leave it all behind and enjoy a simple life. But it looks like the small town she picked is one plagued by the Horseman, that is the Headless Horseman. Ireland finds herself doing things that she never thought she would. Can she beat the evil that besets this town and if so at what cost?

Ok now I can totally fan girl, I mean this is my review after all. Rourke has once again brought to life a world all of her creation. Her main character is a strong female; thank you, I love when the females lead. Then she goes and gives me another thing, which are myths with a whole new twist. We all know the story of the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow. But what if that wasn’t all there was to it. That is just what we get. With her usual flare for quick witted characters and a fast pace storyline you quickly are in the storyline. I literally devoured this book in just over two hours because I could not put it down. I’m ready to reread the book. Ireland came to life from her inner dialogue and the way she handles everything that is going on. You will be biting your nails wondering how this is all going to turnout for so many people. This book is not only a GREAT read, it is a MUST read.

Crane is the fifth full length novel written by award winning author Stacey Rourke. She lives in Michigan with her husband, two beautiful daughters, and two giant, drooly dogs. Stacey loves to travel, has an unhealthy shoe addiction and considers herself blessed to make a career out of talking to the imaginary people that live in her head.

Night Games by Collette West Review Tour

The moment Grey Kelleher locks eyes with All-Star shortstop Chase Whitfield, she's a goner. For years, she's watched him play on TV, and now she's gazing at his hard, lean body across a bar in her hometown.

Grey's crush on Chase goes all the way back to his rookie season. So when she approaches him for an autograph, she's startled by what a jerk he can be.

Chase is no mood to humor his fans, even one as alluring as Grey. He's in the last year of his contract and stuck having to prove himself on a minor league team. He's only there to rehab an injury, nothing more.

But when Grey tells him off, Chase realizes her fiery spirit may be just the distraction he needs to take his mind off not being in the majors. His heart is safe. No one's going to break his streak as baseball's most eligible bachelor. Not even someone as irresistible as Grey.

Mary Jo – ☆☆☆
Grey loves baseball and is excited when her favorite player, Chase Whitfield, is rehabbing in her local hometown. What she doesn't expect is the mask of hostility that Chase is wearing.

Chase is hurt physically and hurting mentally. His whole adult life has been spent as a baseball player. If his knee can't perform, he's out of baseball for good. Feeling lost and snubbed for being sent to Hicksville USA to rehab, he lets his anger loose.

Intrigued by the woman that stood up to him, he wants to get to know her better. Grey senses that there is more to Chase that what meets the eye, but she's not sure she wants to put up with the constant mood swings that seemingly define Chase Whitfield.

I really liked this book. I thought the story tended to drag in some places but thought the author did an excellent job in explaining the emotions of the characters.

Collette West grew up as somewhat of a jock-nerd hybrid. Entering the world three weeks premature, her dad nearly missed her birth because he had seats behind the dugout for a sold-out, highly-anticipated match-up between two of baseball's biggest rivals. Not to be outdone, her book-loving mom taught her how to read by the time she was three. A love of the game coupled with an appreciation for the written word were instilled in Collette's impressionable brain from a young age. No wonder her characters believe in the philosophy: sports + romance = a little slice of heaven.

Splitting her time between the Pocono Mountains and Manhattan, Collette indulges her inner fangirl by going to as many games as she can from hockey to baseball and downloading every sports romance novel in existence onto her iPad. When she's not clicking away on her laptop, she enjoys walking her dog in Central Park, satisfying her caffeine craving at the Starbucks on Broadway and keeping an eye out for Mr. Right. But above all, she loves dishing with her readers.
