***WARNING***

This novel contains explicit language, sex, drugs, abuse and sexual situations that some might find offensive.

While the chaos and bloodshed have slowed for a short period, life is never quiet in the world of Breakneck. The club is taking time to regroup from internal betrayal and the changing of the guard in a rival group.
Zig Zag became a father at the age of thirteen. While raising a child has never been easy, now his eighteen year old daughter Tatiana makes his life downright hard. She has caught the eye of Travis, the new President of the rival MC Gunners, but all she really wants is Shadow, the newest addition to the Breakneck family. When Shadow’s rejection sends Tatiana running from the only family, home, and safety she’s ever known, ZZ is crazy with worry. The distraction caused by Tatiana’s disappearance could prove to be Zig Zag’s downfall.

If that isn’t enough, ZZ finds himself rampantly attracted to the one and only Storm. She’s beautiful, quick and witty. Their friendship is the one thing that keeps him from growing crazy, and Storm stands by ZZ through all the turmoil. Zig Zag is not accustomed to hearing the word no, so Storm’s constant withstanding just draws him in deeper. Their friendship is one thing keeping him from going crazy, until one night…

The club is regrouping and rebuilding from the mayhem known as the Russian Mafia. A hit is ordered on Tatiana, Storm, Winter, and Piper.

Tatiana’s egg donor reveals secrets that a thirteen year old Zig Zag was too young to understand.

Braxxon is out of reach while he helps Greg Cage deal with some dirty business.

Bloodshed… Secrets… Betrayal… Trauma… Welcome back to the Breakneck world.
 

RESENTING ME: Book 1.5
One look at the beautiful Hawaiian flower dancing on stage at his buddy’s strip club and Pyro’s world changes. He’s lost, captivated, head over heels. He tries to stay away, resist her charms, but he just can’t find the strength to do it. Instead, he hires Hazel and Winter as entertainment for the Breakneck President’s thirtieth birthday party, unknowingly putting the girls’ lives in danger.
Hazel convinces Winter to take the Breakneck gig so that she can get closer to Pyro. Playing the temptress to the max, Hazel appears on stage wearing white angel wings, and little else, drawing Pyro in to where she wants him. Needless to say, they both get very little sleep that night.

One night together making love until the sun comes up and these two are in too deep. But this is the Breakneck world, and sunrise brings gunfire and bloodshed. Time brings Winter’s abduction and brutal rape. Hazel’s guilt burrows deep, and she pushes everyone away. She is resenting herself for convincing Winter to enter this Breakneck world.

This is the story of Pyro and Lana. It is simply the story of how, sometimes, love just isn’t enough.
 
 
SHADOWING ME: Book Three
Welcome back to the world of Breakneck where Pyro continues to mourn the loss of Lana, ZZ’s twins drive him crazy, and the whole MC prepares for the birth of Braxxon and Winter’s child. Things are quiet and calm… Or so it seems.

Shadow’s secrets are slowly being revealed, leaving him powerless to stop the resulting havoc. With Tatiana hot on his trail every time he turns around, the tables have turned, and now, she has become his Shadow.
As Winter and Braxxon begin a hostile takeover of the BDSM club owned by Shadow’s best friend, the unthinkable happens, and the result is the worst bloodshed in Breakneck history. The torture, violence, and death caused by the carnage will have the entire MC reeling from the loss.

When Shadow finally decides to stop denying his feelings for Tatiana, he discovers it may be too late. The Breakneck family loss is far too great for Tatiana to think about her own feelings for the one man who has constantly resisted her.

Causing further drama for the Breakneck crew, the Russians step back into the picture. Whether they are friend or foe remains to be seen. And when Winter gets an unexpected visitor, it throws Tatiana in a fit of rage and rebellion.

Welcome back to the real world of Breakneck… where bloodshed and mayhem are to be expected.

Title: Complicated (Secrets and Lies #2)
 
Author: M.M. Koenig

Genre: New Adult/Romantic Suspense

Publication Date: July 22, 2014 - 356 pgs


 

Mia Ryan has learned the hard way that her choices can have horrible consequences. Taking an offer that was supposed to get her life back on track was nothing but a ploy. To keep the ones she holds dear safe, she's forced to finish what she started, without any hope of finding out why she was targeted in the first place. Though Mia has Ethan by her side, she can't seem to believe in him, especially since most of his life remains a mystery. 
 

Ethan Fitzgerald has done everything in his power to prove to Mia that she can trust him, but it never seems to be enough to convince her to drop the last wall around her heart. With deep and dark secrets lurking around every corner, he has his own plan to keep Mia from any danger, but it may just shatter their love forever. 


There are so many questions – with even more shocking answers – and when Mia uncovers the truth, nothing will ever be the same...

 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Meli's Review~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
I couldnt get my hands on this one fast enough.  M.M. Koenig had me hanging on the edge of my seat with book one and as soon as I saw this one on my kindle I had to read it. Didnt matter what I was reading before I stopped everything and sat down and read this one in one sitting.
I have to say she did it again. I absolutely love Ethan and Mia. Everything that has happened to them have pulled them together, when in all reality should have pushed them apart. In book one Mia was trying to make her life better only to meet Ethan and realizing he was what she needed. Only to realize it was to late, she was in to deep with not only the love of her life but also a ruthless man. Book two continues with their story of trying to get out and stay together.
Both of them wanting whats best for the other and both still hiding secrets.
For Mia, everything that keeps happening is only making things worse, she’s constantly blaming herself for everything and knows she will do anything she can to protect those she loves. Ethan is the same, only his goal was different. After finding out Mia’s true intentions he still loves her and will do anything to protect her.


This one had me on the edge of my seat again, waiting and reading every line just to see what happens next. Let me tell you, I was NOT expecting any of it. Boy was I surprised and in a good way.


M.M. Koenig did an amazing job keeping me guessing, I was laughing, I was screaming at my kindle and I had tears… She hit every emotion with this one.


Cant wait for the conclusion to Ethan and Mia’s story.

~ ABOUT THE AUTHOR ~
Anne Jolin
I’m twenty four years old. I was born and raised in Ladner, a small farm town just outside of Vancouver, Canada. I grew up riding horses, shooting guns and riding in trucks. I’ve been married to my handsome redneck husband for a year and we are parents to our chocolate fur baby, Bear. No kiddo’s yet! I am completely and utterly obsessed with country music, you will constantly find me stalking iTunes. If you don’t find me on iTunes, you’ll find me on Netflix because I am a self proclaimed movie junkie. Yes, that means that I quote them constantly in daily conversation and my characters do too! You couldn’t keep me away from a good action movie if you tried. I’m also a planning nut. I love to plan parties, events, trips – you name it! I don’t know if that’s considered a real hobby, but it is for me. 

We were fortunate enough to travel a lot as a family growing up, and I think that helped spark my love of reading. I’m half Viking, my mom is Danish, and her entire side of the family still lives in Denmark. We’d visit them almost once a year, every year and it’s a nine hour flight. That’s a lot of uninterrupted time to read (or in my parent’s case, entertain four children – Yikes!). Somewhere along the way my love of reading, became a love of writing. I wrote short stories when I was younger, and although I majored in Business Management at college, I took as many English electives I could get my hands on. 

During the day I work at my family construction company wearing a variety of different hats and at night, I write! I had never thought about writing books before, but after a few suggestions that I should try, I decided to give it a go. I loved it instantly! Having always been a creative person, it felt amazing to harness all that energy and use it to tell a story. Now, quite frankly it’s all I can think about, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m grateful to have developed my love of reading into a passion for writing. You’ll be seeing many more books from me in the future!

Blog Tour, Review, & Giveaway ~ Conflicted (Secrets and Lies #1) by M.M. Koenig




Title: Conflicted (Secrets and Lies #1)
Author: M.M. Koenig
Genre: New Adult/Romantic Suspense
Publication Date: December 19, 2013



Mia Ryan was on the path to make all her dreams come true. Her life was everything she wanted it to be; until one fateful night changed everything – leaving her broken and without direction. Nearly a year later, she still has little faith in anyone or anything. Desperate to reclaim her life’s ambition, she takes an unexpected offer that promises to solve all her problems. But as Mia moves forward, she’s faced with obstacles she couldn’t have foreseen. The biggest of them lies within the mystery of Ethan Fitzgerald; a man who affects her like no other, but who she should avoid pursuing, at all costs.

On a mission himself, Ethan Fitzgerald didn’t care who he pissed off on his road to fulfill his mother’s dying wish. He relied on himself, and was closed off to the world around him – until Mia Ryan walked through his door. Normally one to avoid messy emotions, Ethan’s world is turned upside down by Mia, and he can’t seem to get enough of her.

There are lines you can cross that will change the course of your life forever ...



Mia was betrayed by the one person she loved the most. When she lost everything she was broken. When she gets an offer she really couldn't turn down she never thought she would meet someone who would break down those walls around her heart and make her feel again.

She had a choice to make, one would be for her career and the other would break the one person she fell in love with. When she had to choose between her career and her love she chose right. Never imagining that there really wouldn't have been a way out.

Ethan has his mind set on one thing and one thing only. The only problem is he never factored in meeting Mia. Sparks fly and after both fighting each other off they give in, only to have everything questioned.

Mia and Ethan’s connection was amazing. He was able to pull her out of herself and make her live again.

This one kept me guessing the whole time and after finishing book one I still have so many questions. Cant wait to start book 2 very soon.

Blog Tour & Reviews ~ EVERY SOUL by LK Collins


EVERY SOUL
Author: LK Collins
Genre: Erotic Romance



When you lose the one person who grounds your existence, your whole world changes. 

In life, it is said that everything happens for a reason. If that’s true, how can you explain death? Especially when it happens to someone so young, so beautiful, and so innocent? My name is Bain Adams, and I struggle with these thoughts every day. I’ve been through hell and back, somehow surviving the unimaginable. My sister took her life six months ago, and now, what’s left is a shell of the man I once was, a shadow of the person I used to be. Do I miss that life? Absolutely. But I miss her more, every day. I pray time will ease the pain and help my suffering while I search for the answers…but so far, nothing. 

Happiness is something I knew so long ago, and now it’s nothing but a faint, distant recollection of the life I once had. My name is Arion LaSalle, and seven months ago my life was shredded to pieces when my fiancé disappeared while deployed. He never came home, burning a hindrance of pain and agony within my soul. For so long, I lived my life believing everything happens for a reason, until now. ‘Cause none of it makes any sense. Why Nate? Why only him? Since getting through each breath is a struggle, I put on a fake persona, pretending I’m someone I’m not, living my life recklessly. Because for me, it was all taken far too soon. 

***This book is an Erotic Romance novel and contains mature subject matter. It is not intended for those under 18 years of age.***



'



I was hooked into this book from page one. I couldn’t put it down, between the back story and the present story, the more I read the more intrigued I was.

Here are these two people from two totally different walks of life that are brought together by a shared experience. What started out as just really hot sex turned into so much more. Arion and Bain fight their demons and overcome so much pain and heartache together.  I absolutely loved Bain and Arion’s story and then….

Then the author goes and throws a HUGE OMG WHAT THE HELL NOOOOOOO!!!! I needed one more sentence, paragraph, or something. I need to know what happens next right NOW!

HURRY UP LK COLLINS!!!!!

I give Every Soul 5 HUGE STARS!!!




For me this one started a little slow. But once Arion and Bain meet, everything falls INto place and their connection was amazing, and I couldn't put the book down if I tried. I needed to know what happened in the past and I needed to know what will happen with Arion and Bain.

These two were brought together by similar pains and both healed each other. When they weren't together they just weren't the same people. They needed each other not only to get over the past but to pretty much survive the future.

I loved everything about their story, their struggles and everything. Just when I thought wow AMAZING then bam the author threw me for a loop. I'm not sure what I think. I'm mad, kind of annoyed (if I'm honest) and shocked.

I don't think I can wait till 2015, hopefully it comes sooner

4.5 stars



“So are you really going to eye fuck me all night without introducing yourself?”
            What the fuck? I swallow hard, her words catching me off guard. “Uhh, I’m Bain.”
            Those are the only words that come out; my heart is pounding. She laughs at me and I turn to her and ask, “What’s so funny?”
            “You. That’s all you’re going to say? Uhh, I’m Bain?”
            “Yeah.”
            “Okay,” she responds is a quieter tone, understanding that I’m serious. “Well, Bain, I’m Arion. I just thought with the way you’ve been staring at me all night, you’d have more to say.”
            Fuck, she’s quick with words. Unfortunately for me, I’m at a great disadvantage; the bars mixed with the alcohol have made my mind fuzzy. I can’t keep up with her, not like this. I need to be sober. “Was I that obvious?” I finally ask.
            “Yeah.”
            She flicks her cigarette into the parking lot and stares at me. Pulling my eyes from the ground, I meet hers. She’s gorgeous, she’s really something else, I tell yah. Especially her eyes, gray and…laced with hurt, just like mine. She acts tough, but she’s hiding something. “Listen, Bain, I don’t know what’s wrong with you.”
            “Nothing’s wrong,” I retort. “I’m…I’m just…drunk.”
            “Me too,” she responds running her hands down my chest and pushing me harder into the wall. Our eyes never leave one another’s. My breathing increases and I focus on staying calm while feeling what she is doing to me with her hands. It doesn’t take but a few seconds ‘til she slides them under my shirt. I may not have words when it comes to her, but my lips don’t let me down. Staring into her eyes, she looks at me with uncertainty. I attempt to ease that, with a kiss.
            Her lips are plump and tender. She tastes of mint with a hint of Jäger. The moment she touches her tongue with mine, my senses flip and that need that’s been knocking to escape all night erupts.
            A couple exits the bar and we separate for a brief moment. Then I pull her down the side of the building. The moment we are tucked nicely into the dark alley, we pick right back up. This is seedy as fuck.
            It’s a crisp night, but being with her in the cold doesn’t bother me. Her hands are warm as they explore every part of my body. But being a man, I want more. “Keep touching me,” I command, wanting to feel her warm hands on my cock. Holding her face, I continue to kiss her, loving the release I get while indulging in her.
            “Mmmmm, you do speak.”
            Growling, I flip her around, now pressing her against the wall. “I do. Fuck, Arion…” I trail off, unsure of what to say next.
            She makes quick work of the button and zipper of my pants and wastes no time going in, clenching me hard, just like I wanted. “Mmmmmhhhhh,” I groan as she begins to stroke me.
            “Your cock is big and I want it deep in my throat.” She drops to her knees and I lean my hands against the wall, questioning what we are doing for half a second. There is no one around us and no one in sight – fuck it. Her tongue hits me swirling over the end; I brush her hair out of her face and watch as she engulfs me. From tip to base, she takes me all the way. When I don’t think she can go any further, she does, and her nose touches my skin. It takes real skill to take all of me. She stares up working my cock in and out of those sweet, plump lips. We watch one another, and I wonder who in the world she is. So confident, sexy, and…dominant. Christ, it’s such a fucking turn-on.
            Each pull and push she matches with her hand, twirling her tongue as she goes. I especially like watching her mouth stretch. Stopping for a moment, she removes her lips but jerks my shaft, quickly. “Will you come in my mouth, Bain?”
            “Suck me hard and I will.” 
            I nod my head when she obeys and feel my balls tighten. Fuck, it’s been too long. Looking at her as she takes my release, her eyes are closed and she’s in a zone, enjoying this. As she pushes me to orgasm, her mouth is so warm. Her movements are perfect and I come so hard in the back of her throat, pumping my hips and thrusting out every last drop of cum. To my surprise, she swallows, smirking at me the moment she finally takes my cock out of her mouth. Standing, she licks her lips. I’m panting, trying to catch my breath as she says, “It was a pleasure to meet you, Bain,” and walks away.
