5 Star Amazon Review - “My best book of 2017”
5 Star Amazon Review - “** Sweet Jesus-- Couldn't put it down ** Absolutely LOVED IT!!!”






Ghost [gohst] noun: the soul of a dead person, a disembodied, vague, shadowy spirit wandering among or haunting living persons; a mere shadow or semblance; a trace. That noun sums up Ghost and what his life has become with painful precision. He is barely living, merely existing but never thriving. There wasn’t much that could pull him from the darkness he willingly inhabits…except one thing. Her. She is the reason he’s done what he’s done, and his life has become what it has become. He haunts his former life, lurking in the background, surviving on occasional glimpses of the only thing good that is left in his miserable life. The horror he has inflicted upon her is nothing compared to the terror that waits for her when someone moves in to take her from him. The thing about being stuck in the past is that it is like walking through life backwards. She is always looking back, so she doesn’t see what is happening in front of her. Unfortunately for her, it turns out that the ghosts of the past aren’t nearly as terrifying as the monsters of the future. They say that true love is like a ghost, something that many talk about but few have seen. It’s a good thing for that, too, because he’ll need that element of surprise to protect her. Hopefully when the dust settles, he’ll be able to resurrect more than just himself.





Beard Up is book six in The Dixie Wardens Rejects MC and it blew me away!  I have been so curious about Ghost because he was the most secretive.  He was so dark and mysterious, and I couldn’t believe his story once I started.

Ghost has quite a past.  He had to “die” to protect his family.  So many secrets with his cruel and powerful parents that he felt the only way to keep them alive is to protect them by disappearing and faking his death.

After keeping a close watch on his wife and daughter for years, and having his friends keep an eye on them, he finds out they are in more danger than he first thought.  He does the only thing he knows to do and that is to bring them home.  Little do they know that he’s not the same man they once knew.

The more he sees his family, the more he knows he wants them back.  But, is he willing to endanger them again?  I wasn’t sure what would happen next, and I was anxious to see what was he was going to do.


I am not revealing anything else because this book is quite a shocker.  It’s full of suspense and action, but a true second chance romance.  Ghost is hot and sexy, and I love seeing him open up to his wife and daughter again by trying to be the man they remember.  He’s tough and badass, but so tender and sweet with them.  I have loved every book in this series, but I think this is my favorite.  I was anxiously awaiting Ghost’s book, and it is well worth the wait!  Lani’s writing continues to impress me because you can’t help but love the characters in each book, and I look forward to more of this MC after reading this 4.5 star book!








I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 5, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.

Excerpt Reveal - BENEATH THE TRUTH by Meghan March

   

   


From USA Today bestselling author Meghan March comes the final sexy standalone set in the Beneath world of New Orleans. I used to believe there were lines in life you don't cross. Don't lie. Don't cheat. Don't steal. Until I learned people don't always practice what they preach. I turned in my badge and gun and walked away from everything. Then I got the call no one wants, and I’m back in New Orleans. What I don't expect is for her to be here too. Another line you don’t cross? Don't touch your best friend’s little sister. She's always been off-limits. Too bad I don't follow the rules anymore.

   “Fine. If you don’t want to play me, I’m sure there’s someone in this bar who will.” She rose from the bar stool and smoothed her dress down her thighs. I swore it looked longer at the cemetery than it did right now, inching up her toned legs. The shoulders and chest were sheer black lace, as sophisticated as could be, but the lace took on a sexier edge in the dim light of the bar. I’d lay money on her being the classiest thing this place had ever seen. And damn, what those heels did for her . . . I ripped my gaze away from her ass to focus on her face. Her lips flattened in obstinate challenge before she strutted toward the pool table. And yeah, I used the word strutted because there was no other way to describe how she walked in those stilettos now that her attitude was flaring. Heads turned to follow her progress, and two guys jumped off their stools to follow her. Oh, hell no. Not a chance, assholes. I pushed off my seat and stalked toward her. Ari’s back was to me when I stopped behind her at the cue rack. She spun around, unaware of my presence, and smacked into my chest, a pool stick trapped between us. She sucked in a breath, jerking her head up. “Sorry. Didn’t realize you were so close.” Years ago, she never would have lost track of where I was if we were in the same room. The realization was a blow to my ego, although not unexpected. I no longer made the cut on her priority list, and that stung. Rather than move and give her space, I reached around her to snag a cue off the rack, letting my arm brush her shoulder. Ah . . . there it is. Her facial expression remained static, but her involuntary shiver gave her away. Maybe I’m not off the list completely. I didn’t know why it mattered, but after the last few brutal days, I needed something good to distract me from the shit show that was my life. And there was no doubt in my mind that Ariel Sampson was everything good. Her spine straightened and she bobbed around me, avoiding contact in favor of racking the balls and lining them up. “Do you want to break?” she asked. “Ladies first.” Ari rolled her eyes and reached for the chalk. With her stick prepped, she leaned over the edge of the table, her ass jutting out and the hem of her dress riding up her thigh. Lord . . . I groaned silently. This was torture. Haven’t I been through enough? I tossed the question skyward and received no sign the big man had heard me. I tore my gaze off her ass and scanned the bar. Mistake. My fist tightened around the pool cue as a reflex, but that didn’t mean I wouldn’t use it to smack every jerk in this bar back into line if they didn’t quit staring. Double standard? Sure. But I didn’t care. With a step behind her, I blocked the most direct view and turned to glare at all of them. Thankfully, Heath’s interest was hooked on the waitress working our table. One by one, the gazes dropped away, and I turned back to Ari, marginally satisfied that they picked up what I was throwing down. Off-limits, assholes. Ari cursed and stood up straight, leaning lightly on her pool cue. “Dammit. I had that shot.” I scanned the green felt and found half her balls were missing. “Jesus, what were you doing? Trying to clear the table?” Her nose went up in the air. “Trying? If I wanted to clear the table, it would be clear. It’s just angles.” “Brainiac as always.” Ari shrugged, but I caught a hint of a smile. “Didn’t you hear? It’s cool to be a geek now.” I had no doubt that wherever she lived in California, she was exactly what was cool. Shit, she had every man’s attention in this bar. “You were always cool in my book, Red. My turn.” Even though I wanted to wait for her smile, I chalked my cue and sank two shots before missing the third. “Not bad.” Her nonchalant tone made me grin. “I try.” Her eyes finally locked on mine. “I succeed.” Hell. Why was that statement so damned sexy coming from her lips? She pushed off her pool cue and spun around to face the table again, her dress sliding up another inch as she bent over the table. My dick pulsed against my jeans. Heath is going to kill me.

About THE TIME IN BETWEEN (Magdalene Series #3):


After a painful loss, Cady Moreland is coming to Magdalene to start the next chapter of her life. A chapter that began eighteen years ago but had a heartbreaking ending. The time in between was full of family and friendship, but Cady could never get the man she fell in love with all those years ago out of her heart.

Coert Yeager has learned to live without the girl who entered his life right when she shouldn’t and exited delivering a crippling blow he never would have suspected. The time in between was full of failing to find what he was missing…and life-altering betrayal.

But when that girl shows up in Magdalene and buys the town’s beloved lighthouse, even if Coert wants to avoid her, he can’t. A fire in town sparks a different kind of flame that won’t be ignored.

As Cady and Coert question the actions of the two young adults they once were thrown into earth-shattering circumstances, can they learn from what came in between and find each other again?

About Kristen Ashley: 

 Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA and nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorize and she hadn't taken her first breath!). Her mother said they took Kristen away, put her Mom back in her room, her mother looked out the window, and Gary was on fire (Dr. King had been assassinated four days before). Kristen's Mom remembered thinking it was the end of the world. Quite the dramatic beginning. Nothing's changed. Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana and has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus, she's blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her family was (is) loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write. They all lived together on a very small farm in a small farm town in the heartland. She grew up with Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched). Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up. And as she keeps growing, it keeps getting better.

THE BRIGHTEST SUNSET - BLURB:

Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me.
Bullshit.
Words destroyed me.
“I’m sorry. She didn’t make it.”
“Daddy, he can’t breathe!”
“There’s nothing more we can do for your son.”
Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me.
Lies.
Those syllables and letters became my executioner. I told myself that, if I didn’t acknowledge the pain and the fear, they would have no power over me. But, as the years passed, the hate and the anger left behind began to control me.
Two words—that was all it took to plunge my life into darkness.
“He’s gone.”
In the end, it was four soft, silky words that gave me hope of another sunrise.
“Hi. I’m Charlotte Mills.”
