OUR REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Loved this book! Stormy is my new favorite biker!
Ex marine, Stormy Chilton is shocked to discover that not only was his former best friend Carmen and wife Janet killed in what looks like a drug deal gone bad, but also that it seems he has inherited custody of their 2 young children. And the shocks continue when he finds out a big secret that Janet’s sister Mila has been hiding for the past two years!
“Life is different when the kids are your responsibility, isn’t it?”
“I don’t know how to be a dad,” I mutter to Hound.
“You put sunblock on them and life vests. I’d say you’re doing just fine.”
Don’t be intimidated by the fact that Stormy is book 29 in the Cerberus series. It can definitely be read as a stand-alone. I haven’t read all of the Cerberus books and had no trouble getting into this story and following the entire storyline.
“I want to be a part of all of it.”
He gives me a smile, cupping my cheek in a way that makes me feel more loved than I ever have before in my life.”
I really enjoyed diving back into this series. The story has some great romantic suspense elements and a couple of my favorite tropes.

He’s everything she ever wanted. She’s everything he never knew he needed. Can she convince him she’s the one?
The Black Knights are back and better than ever!
Samuel Harwood has spent his entire career working in the black and gray areas of international intrigue. Living in the shadows for so long has made him forget who he was and where he came from. Then a blast from the past, in the form of his ex-girlfriend’s kid sister, arrives on the front steps of Black Knights Inc, reminding him of everything he left behind. Except, she’s no longer a kid. And she’s in serious trouble.
Hannah Blue has been in love with Sam Harwood since she was in braces. When someone sabotages her entire life, he’s the first person she turns to. She has critical information about a potential cyber-attack on the U.S. power grid that could end in catastrophic financial damage and loss of life. But the FBI thinks she’s a traitor. And now she’s on the run to save herself and the fate of the entire nation.
Who does Samuel trust? The smart, sexy woman he’s known since he was a teenager? Or the government authorities who give him his orders and cut his paychecks? He’ll make one desperate play to find out. A play that could cost him everything…including his heart.
“A first-rate thrill ride.”—Publishers Weekly, STARRED Review for Thrill Ride
“This razor-sharp, sensual, and intriguing tale will get hearts pounding”—Publishers Weekly, STARRED Review for Wild Ride
“Deft characterization, skillful pacing, touches of humor, and red-hot love scenes rev up this highly recommended roller-coaster.” —Publishers Weekly, STARRED Review for In Rides Trouble
Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Julie grew up in a house full of women – she has three older sisters. As you can imagine, there was no lack of drama… or romance. Her mother enrolled her in a book club as soon as she began to read and it was the small spark that ignited her voracious appetite for the written word.
Because of Julie’s early immersion in literature, she found writing came quite naturally. In high school, she won multiple writing contests and was the proud senior editor of The Tiger’s Tale – her school newspaper.
During her college years, however, she longed for a challenge. “Reading and writing felt like second nature to me, so I looked for a way to flex my mental muscles,” she recalls. After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree, Julie began teaching advanced high school mathematics.
“I loved working with the students and facing the challenges of the classroom, but I longed for the occasional snow day when I could race to the local book store, buy two or three new novels, and curl up in front of the fire to read.”
It wasn’t until a fortuitous move to Chicago that Julie once more returned to her first passion.
Now Julie loves to travel the world looking for views to compete with her deadlines. When she’s not writing, she enjoys camping, hiking, cycling, cooking, petting every dog that walks by her, and… reading, of course!

BLURB:
Love wasn’t the daily special when a grumpy small-town baker delivers a baby in his bakery. Now, all he can think about is that sweet bundle and her tempting single mother.
Having a baby in a bakery gives new meaning to taking the bun out of the oven.
I’d been in Curmudgeon Bakery for one of those lemon baby-Bundt cakes I’d been craving since I found out I was pregnant.
The draw had nothing to do with the baker himself. Tall, tatted, and edgy, looking more like a biker than a man who makes baked goods. I hardly knew him other than taking a tumble in a rainstorm in front of his shop . . . and then tossing myself at him after he rescued me.
We shared a moment but it’s not what you’d think.
Months later, he delivered my baby among his cookies and cakes. Talk about a second chance encounter.
Then he whips up a plan to pretend to be my baby’s father, and everything heats up from there.
My body.
My heart.
My willingness to accept a perfect stranger’s kindness despite him telling me over and over he isn’t who I think he is.
I beg to differ.
He’s that sugary drizzle on a citrus-flavored, guilty pleasure that’s bad for the hips, but together—him, and me, and baby—we’re the perfect blend of ingredients that might do all our hearts some good.

OUR REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Love…It’s Messy is the second book in the Love Explained series but can definitely be read as a stand-alone. It starts out with an amazingly fun opening scene where Jillian is outside of a burning hotel wearing ONLY a bathrobe carrying an ice bucket…asking the fire captain if she could possibly just pop into her room a moment to grab a few things… :0
“I’m tired of pretending my life is perfect. It’s messy, and it’s mine.”
The story is an emotional second chance for single mom event planner Jillian Hathaway and firefighter Luke Incendio. When fate brings them face to face after five years they are still just as drawn to each other but both have really big secrets to reveal.
“Luke Incendio is fire in the flesh, and if I’m not careful, I’ll burn badly.”
I adored this book! It is a perfect blend of sweet, heat, heart and humor!!
-5 Stars- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Blurb:
Second-chance romance only works out in movies. In real life, it’s …messy.
I don’t need a man for anything.
Love and romance? Pfft. No thanks. Never again.
Between my career as a wedding planner and being a single mother, I barely have time to think about men.
I wasn’t looking for a hero when I ended up locked outside a hotel that was engulfed in a blazing inferno, wearing nothing but a robe. I would’ve eventually saved myself. Too bad he didn’t give me a chance.
Yep, you guessed it. Luke Incendio, the sexy firefighter who came to my hotel rescue and the man who had caused me to swear off love years ago is one and the same.
Now, he says he wants to make amends. He says he’s never stopped wanting me. His words are laced in regret as he says he made a mistake.
But talk is cheap—and the tingly feelings he inspires in me are not to be trusted. Because this time around, I’m not the only one who’ll get burned if he proves to be unreliable.
And there’s no way I’m going to let that happen.
