This is an excellent book on China. It should be required reading for any company, organization, or individual planning to do business in China.

Our hero, "Mr. China," received a true classical education in the real world of business and economics in the best university in the world - China.

My first reaction while reading this book was amazement at the corruption, incompetence, and dishonesty on part of the Chinese.  However, by the time I reached the end of the book, it was apparent that the Chinese were playing by their own rules in their own country. The foreign investors were the fools for not doing their due diligence and understanding the Chinese culture and political climate.

Our hero, "Mr. China," makes a number of colossal mistakes losing many millions of dollars of his investors' money because of poor judgment and lack of knowledge of Chinese society.

However, in the end, his analysis of what went wrong seems pretty reasonable. He also believes that the US and China have more in common than what separates them. This is a sad fact that America and China may not recognize until it is too late.

He believes that investments, businesses, and capitalism  in China will all be done on Chinese terms. This is a fact. The foolish investor who believes he will control the pace of business in China will be in for an unpleasant surprise.

I have to admire the Chinese for all the ploys, tricks, and strategems used to get dumb foreign investors to provide the capital in order to build up China. No one forces foreign investors to come to China. Those who do must do their homework. This country definitely has the business talent to compete with the best of the West.

The author is a very skillful writer. I'm sure he will be a more successful as a writer than as an investor.

This book is a wild ride from start to finish. Jaeger has a bad childhood and grew up too fast. Nix has had a rough few years after her mother passed away. He father started drinking and gambling.

Nix and Jaeger have crazy sexual attraction. Nix is strong and stubborn, while Jaeger is is a total alpha male and hard headed.

This is a great biker story. I couldn't put it down. the flow was great and it was nice to read this book mainly from a mans perspective.

There are a lot of books about the superstars at the Bonneville Salt Flats, but so very few about the average guy who has limited resources, a small bike and a big heart. Gary's story will inspire many....be it to achieve a personal goal or simply to squeeze every drop of power out of a street bike to break a record. Anyone that loves motorcycles will enjoy this story, especially during a cold hard winter when cabin fever sets in.

I enjoyed this book because of it's flow, character development and storyline. I liked the changing first person point of view. It was hard not to like the bad dude biker guys who had principal, loyalty and strong bond of family and friendship. I like the feistiness of Josie Carmichael who was willing to take on the biker guys with her smarts and attitude. "Big" Mike Davis who proved to be the hero for Josie and her sister, Tristen. There were scenes of violence and darkness, as well as a lightness to the characters with how they related to each other. The steamy scenes were panty melting. It was well written.

Wow, This book is good,I'm really starting to like to read about bikers. I enjoyed the two main characters: Marie and Horse. Marie seems sweet and naive, and doesn't know anything about bikers or their life style.  Horse is so hot , and he may seem unorthodox cause he lives by bikers rules.  Their differences really compliment  them and makes them a great couple.

There's some blood and violence to this biker romance, but it's probably more of a lighter MC romance. Once this hero is with the heroine, there is no other woman for him, which was nice. It's insta-lust/love, they're in bed about one day after they meet, but the sex was pretty good to read.

The H is tatted and tough and crazy about the beautiful, curvy heroine. Nicole's sweet, strong and has been through some very tough times because of her father using her as pawn. She just wants a home and a place to feel safe. There's a very nice, sweet epilogue for h/H.

I wouldn't mind reading more in this series with this MC. I hope the author pays more attention to editing and maybe to doing a little more showing than telling. There are misspelled words/typos/homophone errors, and a couple of things I would consider mistakes in the story, things I thought were factually incorrect or what I thought went unanswered. Even with errors, it was a pretty fun MC read with some sexiness. A solid beginning to this series.

Im happy to tell you that this story is fantastic. Its so well written and edited, its hard to believe this is a debut novel. This is a story that intertwines an MC/biker story with a military suspense story. Both the hero AND heroine are smart, well-read and kickass. That said, the language is gritty and the sex is raw and rough -- in the best possible ways. If you like MC/Biker stories, dive in now. I strongly recommend this one.

Strangers come together in the most likely circumstance. Billionaire Biker  is one such story. A billionaires daughter and the leader of a motorcycle club - what ensures is a thrilling hot romance mixed with lies, mayhem and deceit. An erotic juicy tale.

Something about a sexy man on a motorcycle, wow. I enjoy this short story, for some reason I like when it's the younger sister is so hot for her brother best friend. I like how they finally come together. I always root for the lady to get her man. Well written, love it. I received this ARC for an honest review.

I was not prepared for this story.  I really liked it.  A woman helping a man with a problem stemming from a bad youthful experience.  The characters are well developed and likable.  It is unlike most stories you read about bikers.  It is not your typical biker chick, hot badboy biker story.  A good one.

Raw chronicles the life of 19 year old Chastity Jones.  Chastity's life takes a downward spiral at the age of 16 when her father is incarcerated for killing her mother whom he caught in bed with another man.  Chastity is placed in foster care but her stint there is cut short when she's raped by her foster mother's boyfriend.

Chastity's best friend Jackie convinces her that stripping will help them both earn enough money to live on their own.  While working at the strip club Chastity meets Legend who quickly becomes her mentor.  Legend takes Chastity to the next level, showing her how to demand the finer things from the men in her life without them feeling like they've been manipulated by a gold-digger.  By the age of 19 Chastity wants for nothing except for her hidden desire for Legend.

But after 3 years of platonic friendship Chastity's caught up in a love triangle when she's introduced to Legend's cousin/business partner Hunter.  Hunter wastes no time wooing Chastity much to Legend's dismay.  Chastity chooses Hunter never knowing Legend's true feelings until its too late.  But Hunter and Chastity romance has more working against it than Legend's jealousy.  Hunter's street dealings thrust all three characters into a deadly war where no one will remain untouched.

Although the above mentioned story line might read like the typical street/love novel; author Shay manages to bring way more to the table. Instead of a story you've heard before readers will find themselves enthralled by how Shay skillfully builds up momentum to successfully deliver an excellent debut novel. Shay promises readers an erotic street tale with Raw and she delivers especially on the street tale part.

The erotica is exhibited in one shockingly vivid basement scene that will be seared into readers' brains.  But what readers will find even more unforgettable is Shay's character development.  The main character Chastity although faced with tremendous hardships experiences personal growth and when her back is against the wall she digs deep to fight for those whom she cares for.  Raw is an exceptional debut and will undoubtedly jump start a promising career for newcomer Shay.

Shy is one of my all time favorite bikers.  If he was real I'd marry him.

Until recently, I've never had the desire to ride a motorcycle, mainly because I was afraid of becoming an organ donor. However, that suddenly changed a couple of months back, probably due to turning 37 and sitting through a marathon viewing session of "American Chopper" episodes.  So, I began to shop around for a bike that would fit me, and at the same time I tapped into all the informational sources I could find about motorcycling (friends, the Web, etc.).  "Proficient Motorcycling" was one of the first books I read, and I bought it based on the good reviews I saw on Amazon.com.
It was my desire to arm myself with as much knowledge and hands-on riding skills as possible before swinging a leg over the motorcycle I finally settled upon (a Harley-Davidson Fat Boy).  I signed up at a local Harley-Davidson dealer for a "Rider's Edge" class, and "Proficient Motorcycling" was an excellent supplement to the MSF course materials.  Indeed, Mr. Hough recommends taking an MSF course, and frankly I can't imagine a novice trying to ride without formal instruction.
The techniques that Mr. Hough advocates in "Proficient Motorcycling" have made me a better AND safer rider.  I feel more confident riding my new H-D, and therefore I'm able to enjoy my road-time that much more.  I've already started reading the book's sequel "More Proficient Motorcycling: Mastering the Ride" to build upon what I've learned so far.  If you want to be a good motorcyclist (and not a "donor-cyclist"), then by all means dive into "Proficient Motorcycling."

Sally, a young virginal farm girl, goes to the Grizzlies Motorcycle Club to pick up her truck that has been worked on by Roman, a full patched member, and ends up HOT and STEAMY in the back seat. Soon they become inseparable, but club business takes Roman away.  Sally is left to go on alone, all the while keeping a huge secret.  When the two meet up again, Sally has a lot of explaining to do and Roman needs to make things right between them.  If they can manage to get it together, they are in for a wild ride.
First of all, I don't normally read MC books, but I am sure glad I read this one.  It is also my first book by Nicole, but definitely not my last.  I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOOK !  WOW, JUST WOW !  This book just got right to it, no boring fillers, just jumps right in !  These characters were like none I have ever read before, and I read a lot of books.  Such an original storyline.  Lots of HOT, STEAMY SEX SCENES. So many twists and turns, I could not predict how this story would go.  Oh, did I mentioned the HOT SEX SCENES ? Lots and lots of those. If you love HOT, ALPHA OUTLAW BIKERS, YOU NEED THIS BOOK !

Desmond's Review

Mix a virginal heroine with a bi-sexual family friend and a bi-sexual FBI Special Agent, throw in some mayhem with possible gang repercussions, and you have an explosive mix. This story, as they say on the streets, `rocks.'

Sabrina Birch is the damsel in distress, a never dated, never been kissed virgin, ready to start graduate school. She's being left at home by her lawyer father, someone who regularly provides pro bono services for those in need. He leaves his daughter in the care of family friend, Jimmy, five years her senior and recently back from overseas as a journalist.

In the first part of the story, Sabrina and Jimmy start to ignite their passions, but are interrupted by gunshots. Enter the FBI. Gabriel, an old friend of Jimmy's, who once shared a passionate kiss, becomes the third spoke.

Erin Leaf's story is really about Sabrina's sexual blossoming and her acceptance of an alternative lifestyle. She starts as a repressed woman-girl and arcs to a woman comfortable in her own skin, sharing lovers with her two bi-sexual men. In the first half, the sexual tensions mounts, not unlike sex itself, and is not fully consummated until later.

The story is really the sexual tension and encounters between three people who love each other and there are scenes of both homosexual and heterosexual couplings, which, in this reader's estimation, are well written and show the attraction between the three. The story of Sabrina's peril becomes a thread woven through the narrative of these people as they express their affections.

Their real peril does not come from gang activity, but something, which I will not describe, so you may enjoy this book. I found Sabrina's character unusual, in that she, at twenty-one, has never been kissed or dated, much less still a virgin. I believe Erin Leaf writes her younger than her twenty-one years; her characteristics seem immature for the age she is supposed to be. However, I do realize I could be wrong here. Certainly there are virgins and socially naive twenty-somethings.

This is an entertaining book, easily read and with enough sex, well written scenes of Male/Female, Male/Male and a mnage  trois to warrant my heat rating of four.

Desmond's Quote: "An easy to read, titillating story of love, expressed many ways, makes this erotic romance (with a happily for now ending) burn the pages. The story of their peril, punctuated by physical expressions of love make you turn the pages, but not always without re-reading some of the eroticism."
