Author: Rie Warren

Genre: Erotic romance, humor, thriller, suspense, military, action/adventure

Release Date: October 3, 2016 Available Now on Kindle Unlimited  On 

=Review= 5 Stars 

I wasn't sure about this book to start with but i ended up loving it! 

I love the banter between Shy and Max aka Handsome aka Rush. I liked how all the "boys" had each others backs and whenever needed they dropped everything and helped out. 

The angst in the book was written extremely well and kept you on the edge of the seat and turning those pages! 

The one thing i thought i wouldn't like about this book is the amount of sex, i mean i don't mind sex in a book but once you've read one one sex scene in the book they're usually the same right? Nope not in this book, pretty much every single one was surprisingly different. 

I really enjoyed reading about these bad boys. Thank you Rie Warren

Hot girls, hot cars, and time behind bars . . . I’m the most unsuitable dude for pretty girl-next-door Shiloh Lockhart.

MAX HANDSOME RUSH I’m the black sheep of the Rush family, cut off from the bourbon distillery dynasty. Shrug. They didn’t approve of the high-octane rap sheet of arrests marring my pretty boy, prep school upbringing. Hot girls, hot cars, and time behind bars for illegal street racing—what can I say? Speed is in my blood. Now I’ve cleaned up. I’m being good. I’ve got my own plans, and they for damn sure don’t include Shiloh Lockhart. Shy. The goddamn classic girl next door. She shows up out of the clear blue, turning all the MC dudes into drooling manwhores. But not me. I’ve got too much to lose to risk falling for a perfect girl like her. When Shy’s overprotective folks tell her I’m bad news, they’re right. But come to find out she’s already endured more than her fair share of shit-gone-bad in her life, and she’s convinced I won’t make it any worse. Shy couldn’t be more wrong. SHILOH LOCKHART I haven’t seen Max since he got kicked out of the Rush family home years ago. Now I’m determined to get back in touch with the boy I used to crush on growing up. They call him Handsome at the motorcycle club he belongs to, and I can see why. The long dark brown hair. The smoldering whiskey-colored eyes. The sculpted face and big muscled body. Too bad he’s intent on treating me like a kid sister. Hmm. We’ll see how long that lasts, because to squash this schoolgirl crush I need to be with Max just once . . . turns out one taste of Rush isn’t enough. My situation is life threatening, but what he’s hiding is even more dangerous. Too late. Rush is already in my blood.

Ripped and ready, I cut through the dim, cool interior of the MC.  Sweaty, half naked, with my shorts riding low, I stomped past the pool tables.  My tats gleaming, my muscles charged, I barged out the front door. Brodie trailed me, grinning like an evil ape when I swung my head back to—yup—sling about my fifth glare of the day c/o Shiloh Lockhart.  I was usually a pretty easygoing guy.  Something about having her hanging around turned me into a snarling animal.  Then I saw her helluva hot ride—a fucking white Hennessey Hellcat with a black racing stripe. Holy. Christ. The hot coupe with total street cred was nothing short of drool-inducing for a gearhead like me. A flat-out, top-of-the line, bitchin’ ride. And then I took stock of Shy, leaning against the abovementioned droolworthy Charger, looking no less jaw dropping herself.  Strike. That. I meant I could see why Tail trailed out after us, then Cole.  Had nothing to do with my gut deep reaction to seeing a gorgeous woman with a delicious body wearing a long raspberry-colored dress that tightened over her tits and flowed around her legs. Or the hint of sunshine in her smile when she saw me. Or the sleek blonde-brown sun-drenched hair.  Or the luscious lips. Not At All. “’Zup, Shy?” I reeled in my tongue, half-shuttered my eyes, took anything but a platonic, good old friends greeting off the table.  Unfortunately I hadn’t counted on her inspection of me.  Her soft silver-colored eyes roamed and roved over me as she licked those—yup—luscious lips. I straightened taller the longer she detailed every inch of my body—most of it bare, most of it hard, a lot of it inked—and the color in her cheeks brightened.  Fuck. She was making me self-conscious. I almost ducked my head in an aw shucks move.  Brodie would get his rocks off about that.  Not gonna happen.  She slowly—in a silky movement—pulled herself away from the Hellcat. She came to me at what had to be an intentionally seductive pace.  Or my breath had roughened for nothing.  Didn’t look like nothing.  Really needed to be. Hellcat? I might have to start calling her that.  Could I hold out my fist for a knuckle bump with Shy? Back slap? High five?  Because hugging her at that exact moment might prove lethal to all my just an old friend dictates.  Shy took matters into her own hands, pulling me to her by the back of my neck while I played wooden soldier in her embrace. Something sure was catching wood.  Between my legs. So wrong. “Uhm.” Disentangling her arms from me, I created some space and hoped my shorts were baggy enough to hide a growing boner. “What brought you here?” I heard Tail loud-whisper to Cole. “She wants some of that.” “Handsome’s makeover’s working out then.” “Nah. Dude. He’s magic. Could always pull pussy.” Brodie strode up to the duo and smacked each of them on the back of the head. Not that he wasn’t capable of the same damn loose-lipped bullshit.  Shy—Miss Manners and all—pretended she hadn’t heard a thing. And for that I loved her.  “I was just on my way to a meeting and I got a flat.” She pointed to the rear left tire. “Hoped you could help?” I took a turn around sizzling hot Hennessey then hunkered down to inspect the dead tire. “You should really take this to Stone’s. It’s their specialty. I can put on the dummy tire and drive it over if you want.”  Lifting to my feet, I realized Shy was way too fucking close in proximity.  Her fresh, beach-swept scent slid over me.  Her silvery eyes shone under a long fan of eyelashes.  And one step closer, her tits would hit my bare chest.  I stepped back, wiping my palms on my shorts.  “But you were always into this kind of thing. You can take care of me, right, Max?” Eyelash flutter and sweet smile. Shit.  Brodie—bastard barbarian—shoved me forward. “He’ll do it. On the house too. We got just the right tire inside.” I walked over to the garage side of Chrome and Steele and rapped on the wide door. “Open up.” My feet pounding on pavement, I struck back to Shy and the Dodge that gave me an instant hard-on.  Because I refused to blame the sudden need to bust-a-nut on my old friend, never flame, the girl next door.  “Drive it in.” “Why don’t you do the honors?” She tossed me her keys.  I looked at the car. Looked at her. And decided I might never get the chance to drive a Hellcat again.  Shrugging, I eased into the driver’s side then pushed open the passenger door. “Hop in.” With a smoky laugh, Shy curled in beside me.  I started the car, and the loud purring engine sent another jolt to my dick.  This coupe was goddamn heart-stopping gorgeous.  Come to think of it, so was Shy.  Not going there. I found my voice somewhere deep down in my chest. “What made you buy this?” “I like my toys to be hard, fast, and sexy.”  “Toys?” A ragged breath rasped from my throat.

The next installment in the bestselling Alpha Series.

The Baby Game

Ronnie Taylor and husband Harry had agreed they’d wait a few years until starting a family. So when Ronnie discovers she’s pregnant after being a bit too casual with her contraception, she finds herself in a dilemma. Harry is taking his mother on the trip of a lifetime at the same time as their bundle of joy is due. If she tells him, he’ll cancel the trip and she doesn’t want his mother to miss out.

In typical Ronnie style, she ropes in TV Researcher and friend Nina, and pretends she’s filming a reality show about eating junk food. She’s going to blame all her baby weight gain on burgers. Surely she can’t get away with it? Or can she..?

With cravings for dog food, a mission to match-make her midwife and a never-to-be forgotten speech for a Healthy Eating charity event, it’s another hilarious adventure with the loveable, crazy ‘ladygardener’.

REVIEW

5 Stars ★★★★★

The Baby Game by Andie M Long, Is so bloody funny! I just loved the relationship between Ronnie and Harry, Honestly, theirs is a relationship everyone should experience. The crazy things that Ronnie thinks up  just to hide her bump, or cravings, were hilarious.

My favourite ‘cover up story’ was when she felt the baby move the first time and got emotional, when Harry heard her sobbing she had to think of a cover up story QUICKLY, The reason? She hates the carpet!! LOL Harry was a typical man, not liking when someone cries, he agreed to change the carpet to stop her crying.

I would definitely recommend this book. It is extremely well written and  will have you giggling from start to finish.

BONUS CHAPTER FROM THE UP AND COMING BOOK

Rebecca was aware of a noise somewhere off in the distance. She didn't know what it was, or where it was coming from, but she knew it was there nevertheless. She was in a dreamlike state and felt slightly apprehensive. Hidden forces were pulling her forward. She didn't really want to go where they were taking her, but decided to go with the flow and see what happened.

In a haze Rebecca watched, as if from above, as she walked towards the car and got in. The car propelled itself forward and was quickly on the motorway. In what seemed like no time at all Rebecca was pulling into the prison car park and memories suddenly flooded her mind.

She could see rain and a lot of lights, bright white and red, flashes of blue interspersed throughout. She could hear shouting and car brakes slamming on. Then the scene changed and a face appeared, blurred, blue eyes standing out from it. A canal appeared in the distance, red roses floating on the surface. This image was one which caused a shiver to run through her. She saw a smile and warmth rushed through her, chasing away the bad feelings.

Rebecca's focus seemed to clear. She was standing at the bottom of steps, a rail running up the middle, she could see glass doors at the top. She felt herself walk slowly up the steps, her right hand holding the rail. She reached the top and pushed the door in front of her open, walking into a large bright space. It was so bright she felt the need to shield her eyes. There was no sign of anyone else and a sudden sense of emptiness rushed through her body.

Rebecca spun round in a circle, searching for any sign of life, but she found none. For a few moments she contemplated going further into the area but decided against it as the need to be back outside had her quickly back at the top of the steps and walking down, again holding the rail. As she reached the bottom step she felt a presence behind her and turned to see if someone was there. As she turned, all she could see were the blue eyes from earlier.

The eyes came closer, a body morphing round them, turning into a man she felt she should know. His eyes may have been bright, but they looked sad. Rebecca didn't want him to reach her, so she moved back a few steps to try and get away.

"Bex, don't walk away. Please. I need to explain..." said the man now standing right in front of her. "I need to tell you why this has happened."

"Why what has happened? I don't understand." Rebecca replied.

"Bex I'm so sorry, I don't exactly understand it all myself. But what I do know is that this is what was always meant to happen. We were never meant to go away together. I don't know the plan for your future, but it's not with me. Please try to understand."

"No," she cried, "No, I don't want to hear this. I don't, I don't know what's going on. This feels wrong, so wrong. Where were we going? Why? Who are you?" Rebecca asked. As the words left her mouth more memories assaulted her mind.

Those eyes belonged to Richie, she was in love with Richie, and he was in love with her. They were going away together on holiday, a romantic getaway to cement their feelings for each other. They were leaving that day. She was there to collect him. Why was he saying they couldn't go? This wasn't right, something was very wrong.

"I remember," Rebecca said to Richie, "I remember everything. We are going on holiday today, we need to leave now. What do you mean we were never meant to go? Why book it and not go? Explain it to me please!" she pleaded.

"Bex none of this is real, it's only real in your head. I'm not really standing in front of you, and we aren't going away on holiday. Believe me when I say I wish things were different. I tried desperately to avoid this, but everything seemed to work against me. I am so so sorry this has happened. You must believe that my love for you is as real now as it has always been. Always remember that I love you and I always will."

Rebecca stood in shock, wanting to close her ears to what Richie was telling her, yet at the same time almost needing to keep listening in order to understand what was going on.

"Bex you need to move forward from this, don't wallow in the grief so long it changes who you are inside. You will always have the memories, and the love, to keep you going. Find someone else, someone who will love you, look after you, care for you for years to come. I know in my heart that is the right thing for you, no matter how hard it may be."

"Find someone else? I don't want anyone else, I want you. I love YOU. Why is this happening? Not real, what's not real?" Rebecca almost screamed at Richie.

"Try to remember, please just try to remember. But never forget I love you."

As he said the words Richie started to fade away, into the distance, until there was nothing left. The noise Rebecca had heard earlier returned, quickly becoming louder, turning into something physical. It began to hurt her ears, her heart, her very core. She could make out blurred faces in front of her eyes, shock evident as she watched them.

It was a scream. The noise. It was a scream. Her scream. Rebecca was screaming and everything flooded back in an instant.

Richie was dead. He had died inside the prison, in a room he was forced into, as he escorted prisoners back to their cells after a fight broke out. The love of her life was gone, taken from her in an act so violent she couldn't get it straight in her head quite yet. Her life as she knew it was over, and she didn't want to go on without him.

"Richie, don't go. Please don't go." Rebecca managed to say, as she slipped into darkness. She wanted to forget, she needed to forget. Perhaps when she awoke it would turn out to be a dream. No, not a dream, a nightmare. One which she hoped beyond all hope she would come out of intact, but at the same time realising deep down that she wouldn't. Her life had changed and she wasn't sure she could go on without him.

About The Author

I am a Scottish lass born and bred, grew up in Ayrshire now live in Bonnybridge. An avid reader as a child, my love of books has grown with me. I am a blogger, although I am currently taking an extended break, a reviewer and a beta reader. I am a huge supporter of indie authors, and still can't quite believe I'm about to join such an amazing group of people.

I work full time as a nanny in Edinburgh. To break the monotony of rush hour traffic I occasionally find myself daydreaming on my way home. It was during one of these journeys that the idea for Hearts in Danger came to me. Knowing I had to get the story out of my head I took part in Nanowrimo 2015. By the end of the month I had not only written over 50,000 words, I had surprised myself by sticking to it every single day.

What happens next, who knows? Wherever this journey takes me, though, I will be forever grateful for the help and support I have had along the way from family, friends, bloggers, reviewers and authors alike.
