Blurb

Cooper Cruz knows what it means to be surrounded and bound by family. Loyalty, brotherhood, and protection are all learned, earned, and respected by him and the Ravage Motorcycle Club family he grew up in. At the same, he’s a man, having fun and living the life he has always envisioned, until a trip to Florida changes everything.

Bristyl Daniels knows what it means to be smothered and bound by family. Bonds run deep with her father and all the members of the Sinister Sons Motorcycle Club she has grown up in. But now she’s all woman and wishes they would see she isn’t a little girl anymore. Then one phone call gives her a chance meeting with a hunk of a man she can’t get off her mind.

When her favorite band comes to play at a motorcycle rally in her hometown, Bristyl decides it’s worth the risk to sneak off for a little fun. When a situation gets heated, though, Cooper and the Ravage MC step in, setting off a chain of events, both good and bad in both their lives.

As the dust settles, Bristyl will have to come to some very hard decisions. Meanwhile, Cooper knows exactly what he wants. To hell with the consequences.

REVIEW

Review by: Melanie

(4.5 stars)

We met Cooper all the way back in book one “Ravage Me”; he was Cruz’s young son. Now, Cooper is all grown up and a member of Ravage MC. Whilst on a ride down to a Florida rally he meets the beautiful Bristyl. Feisty, gorgeous and strong, Cooper is drawn to her, if anyone could make him a one woman man it would be her. At the Rally though, Cooper and his brothers have to step in when Bristyl and her friend, Leah, get into a bit of trouble. Unfortunately, this bit of white knighting bites them in the arse a little when it has some blowback on those involved.

After the rally and Cooper and Bristyl have to part ways, they can’t get each other out of their thoughts and once Bristyl has a moment of bravery and gets in touch with Cooper, that’s it, they set out to prove that a four hour distance between them is no deterrent to their feelings for each other. When Bristyl’s own family throw a huge, life altering decision at her, it gives her the push to start living for herself and not her “family”.

Ok I’m going to be totally honest and say that the first few chapters read a little weird to me. As in they felt like they weren’t quite finished with the fluidity that I expect from Ryan Michele. However, a few chapters in, everything smoothed itself out and I was sucked into the story completely. Seeing the man Cooper had become, and getting to see the rest of the club members that I loved from the early books. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I can’t wait for the next one as I want to see what’s going to happen with Deke; GT and Casey’s son. I give Bound by Family 4.5 stars.

Excerpt

 

Bristyl

Holy hells bells.

I’m not sure if I should be pissed that my brothers and father left me to deal with this mess or thank them for the gorgeous eye candy. Not that I would, because they’d have a fit either way, but damn. Maybe it’s my mom smiling down on me, giving me a ray of sunshine through this mess.

All three of the guys are hot in their own way. By the cuts on their backs, they belong to the Ravage Motorcycle Club. Here for the rally, of course, and will be gone in a flash. That’s how it is. What the hell, I’ll enjoy the view while I can.

I sop up the water and wring out the mop head, then repeat … again and again.

Ryker, who boldly introduced himself, is a player. Yep, seen hundreds of them in my day growing up in the club. Tattoos, sexy vibe … I bet he doesn’t even have to ask women, just crooks his finger.

The other man, who I’m not sure his name, looks a little lighter in a way, but I’m not sure how to describe it.

Cooper, though. My heavens. Talk about charismatic, and I got that just from the few words he spoke to me. Hell, I get it just from being in the same room with him. It’s like he oozes it out of his pores, releasing it out in the world for women to fall at his feet and beg. Then there’s the hair. I can’t call it light, and it’s definitely not dark. It’s a unique combination of the two; light browns intertwined with a few darker browns, giving his hair a shade I haven’t seen before. Like a caramel color with an edge, and long. So much so that he has a hair tie wrapped around his wrist. No doubt he puts it up regularly. I’d put money on it only amping up his sexiness.

When our eyes connected for that brief moment, the blue popped out in his. I also noticed some navy around the edges. That combination of hair and eyes … Be still my deprived heart.

The way his pants ride low on his hips makes me want to give up all kinds of things to get him to raise his arms above his head so his black T-shirt rises up and I can see what’s underneath.

He has tattoos running all up his left arm, disappearing under his shirt. I can see some black poking through the top at his neck, too. It piques my curiosity, wanting to find out what he’s hiding.

I shake my head and squeeze out the mop. It’s been way too long since … Never mind.

Release Blitz & REVIEW***Fear the Beard by Lani Lynn Vale***

Title: Fear the Beard

Series: The Dixie Wardens Rejects MC Series #2

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: March 30, 2017
Model: Jacob Wilson
Photographer: FuriousFotog

Tally is a twenty-year-old single mother struggling to finish nursing school. Has she made mistakes in life? Sure, but her daughter isn’t one of them. She works hard, she studies even harder, and she’s only a few weeks away from graduating.
She’s living her life the best she knows how when she witnesses a near miss motorcycle accident between a car and a biker. A biker that happens to be the most talked about teacher at her college.

The moment she meets those startling blue, narrowly-escaped-death eyes, she realizes quickly that life as she knows it has changed. No longer will she be content to let life pass her by, even if it puts everything she’s worked so hard for in jeopardy.

***

Tommy is a highly skilled doctor. A teacher. A veteran. A fully-patched member of The Dixie Wardens MC. He’s lonely, but also set in his ways. What will it take for this man to accept that he needs to make some changes in his life? Apparently, it’ll take a guy in a truck, who’s preoccupied with his phone rather than focused on the road, nearly plowing into him on his bike at seventy miles per hour. Oh, and a twenty-something year old nursing student witnessing the entire thing from only a few feet away.

It only takes a second, a single heartbeat in time, as he looks into her worry-filled eyes to realize that he’d give anything for a single night with her. He may lose his job in the process, but after that one incredible night turns into an amazing weekend, he knows it’s worth the risk for the promise of her forever.

I leaned back in my chair, letting my pencil drop onto the couch beside me, and stared at him.

“What are you doing?”

He worked his jaw, his hand coming up to allow his fingers to scratch his beard.

He looked so freakin’ sexy, even doing innocuous things like touching his majestic beard.

It really was majestic…and longer than I remembered.

Was he growing it out? I wonder what it would feel like rubbing against the inside of my thighs?

“That look won’t get you anywhere right now,” he murmured.

I bit my lip.

“I…” I didn’t have anything to say to that.

I really shouldn’t be thinking about it.

Really.

I shouldn’t be thinking about how his cock filled me up. I shouldn’t be thinking about the erection I could now see straining his pants. I shouldn’t be wishing I could take it out and swallow it…

“Stop,” he snapped.

I’d bitten my lip, but my eyes remained on his cock.

And the next thing I knew, there was a two hundred and thirty-pound man on top of me, pinning me to the couch.

I gasped, taken aback at the suddenness.

He used my gasp against me, slamming his mouth to mine as he thrust his tongue into my mouth.

I moaned.

He tasted like chocolate.

I’d seen him eating M&M’s in class when I’d passed his classroom door on the way to my own.

I’d also been insanely jealous of that candy.

I wanted to melt in his mouth. I wanted to be the thing that he enjoyed the taste of.

He thrust his leg in between my thighs, and I parted them without hesitation before wrapping my arms around his shoulders and pulling him even closer to me.

I forgot what I was doing. I forgot where I was. I forgot everything, focusing only on the feel of his body on mine. The taste of his mouth. The smell of his skin.

 

 

Review by: Jennifer

(5 stars)

 

All I'm gonna say is read the previous books, that's your only warning. Tally is seriously making the best of the situation she has found herself in. Being a single mother of a sickly child, and working to finish nursing school, while working another job. This chick is She Ra!! When one of her teachers turns out to be the yummy biker that she saw just that morning, she takes it in stride, she isn't going to get excited and start panting after him; she doesn't have the time and quite frankly nor the energy. But there is something about Dr. Tommy that has her doing a peek or two. Dr. Tommy normally doesn't pay attention to the students other than making sure they are doing what they need to do, but there is something about Tally that keeps him... in a constant state of awareness. Do they dare attempt to try their hand at this with everything at stake?

A good book has you finishing with a sigh and the thoughts, oo that was good. An amazing book will play out like a movie in your head, and when you're done you immediately crave to read it all over again. Lani Lynn Vale has yet to write something that didn't play like a movie, and leave me wanting more. This was an amazing story, I fell hard for Tommy and his beard! With some drama, flooding (land and underpants alike), violence, craziness, a sweet little baby and even sweeter man that loves her, and some sexy times that just made you burn. This is 5 stars all the way.
