Ahhhhhh Vicious...you are such a bad, bad boy!!!  Why do the good girls always go for the bad boys?  I LOVED Emilia in this book...always the sweet, considerate, caring, hard working, girl----and one of my favorite heroines in any of the books I've read.  I hated that Vicious was so mean to her in the beginning and never understood how and why she continued to take it.  But you know those bad boys.....we good girls just can't stay away.  I loved their banter....enemies to lovers story.  Can we also talk about how incredibly HOTT Vicious is too??  Powerful, rich, cocky, full of himself, MEAN, vindictive------but still sooooooo good in his bad kind of way!!  LJ Shen is one of my favorite authors.  Each book gets better and better ....and so do the "hotholes". One of my favorite books of hers, yet!!!!

Who doesn't love a Bad Boy that has more heart than you would think at first glance? And if you add in a sexy, fiesty, and witty woman to the mix? That makes for one great book.

This bad boy rockstar told her years ago that she was it for him, and now he's going to make her believe it. Gloria has built walls around her heart, and it's going to take a lot of hard work to bring them down. It won't be easy, but these two are going to have some ups and downs along the way, but in the end it will be all worth it.

I really enjoyed Jessica's writing, engaging the reader from the word go until the very end. The emotions flow off the pages, connecting with the reader's heart and soul. Add in an adorable child and you'll be swooning right along with the couple.

I would recommend this book, and series, to any looking for a Bad Boy to keep you company at night.

This was an absolutely amazing story that kept me gripping on to my handlebars from the start of the road to the end. It was a bumpy road with a lot of twists and turns, and action aplenty, i totally loved it !!!
WOW...... I thought Turk and Lock's story was hot and full of action, well this one was definitely on par with their story. Ormond was first encountered in book 1 (Dangerous Reality) when he helps Turk out with "payment" for a speeding violation. Turk decides to start the new MC club The Bent Zealots and recruits Ormond and a few others with the backing of his ex club and his partner, Lock's ex club.
When Turk's shop gets robbed and they decide they need to show everyone that just because they are a gay mc club doesn't mean they can be pushed around Turk contacts his old prez who contacts Anson, a mercenary who is on leave indefinitely after suffering ptsd causing his judgement out in the field to be clouded.
Ormond and Anson are sent on a job together to find who is making and selling meth in "their backyard" and to put an end to this so as to put the Bent Zealots stamp on their land. While Ormond is an "out and proud" gay Anson isn't and doesn't want to be out, well not to start off with. He's fighting his own other demons too, trying to find out about his father and trying to help his daughter.
Anson is desperately fighting his feelings for Ormond, telling himself he needs to find a "civilian wife" but, the longer they are out on the job together the more he realises that isn't going to happen. He still doesn't know if he'll be able to go back to being a Mercenary which is also effecting his feelings towards Ormond.
Will he give in to his heart or will he go back to his normal job after he's helped Turk and the Bent Zealots ?
Will Ormond's liking of men in uniforms stop now he's met Anson, will he be able to be a one man's man, can he get Anson to admit to how he feels ?? Only one way to find out............

Great story I was thrilled with the storyline and then even more thrilled that when that piece ended we still had a big chunk of the story to devote to yummy Wyatt and his journey with Andrea !! I have read a few Sawyer Bennett books but I had not read any in this series. This can be read as a stand alone and I had no issues reading it and knowing who was who. I will definitely be reading the other books and I am a fan of this author. I read the book in about 4 hours !! I was hooked right from the start. I love the undercover stories and of course it is awesome to read about scummy guys being taken down for sex slavery !!

When the book starts Wyatt is leaving his friends and family to head undercover for an unknown amount of time. He will be playing the role of a sleazy strip club manager quickly working his way up the ranks in the hopes to get in the inner circle of the sex slave traffic ring his "boss" is running. Obviously he hates what he has to do on a daily basis but he is passionate about his job and ending this. He attempts to lookout for the dancers as much as he can and also get in good with the bad guys. As the pieces are slowly coming together the FBI decides to put another undercover on the case and she will be posing as a dancer at the strip club. Wyatt-Raze is in the inner circle by now so he gets to handle Andrea , Nikki O's , hiring. Their cover is going great and though there may be a few bumps in the road things move along nicely. I loved the inner working of the sting , it was awesome to read about their plans and see how they both handled this lifestyle they were pretending to live. Wyatt and Andrea cannot deny there is some kind of spark there but this is not the time or place to make a move on that. They are there for a reason and that is all that matters. As the day draws near for Nikki O to be sold Raze ends up in a tricky situation with Nikki and let's just say it was a great scene !! Simon's office may have been a dirty dirty place but for that one scene it was my most favorite place in the world !! Of course until the locker room after the sting !! What happens now that their job is over ?? Is there something more there or did the strip club scene get the best of them ??

Wyatt and Andrea are both back at home , far away from each other but the memory is agonizing and the desire is still there. Which one of them will have the balls to make the first move ?? This part of the story was great. The chemistry is phenomenal and the sex scenes are super hot. I love the open and honest feelings they share. I enjoyed getting to meet Wyatt's friends since I have yet to read them !! They seem like a great group and I am curious about them , looking forward to hearing their stories. It was so nice to go from the suspense and danger of the strip club sting to the exciting new journey of love. Both Wyatt and Andrea know what they want and they will make sure they have it. In the end we get our HEA and I adored the ending and the epilogue. This book has many things all wrapped into one and I would recommend it to many !!

Ms. Scott, thank you for a very thrilling and entertaining book!!!

Bad Boys Do is book two in the Donovan Brothers Brewery Trilogy by Victoria Dahl.

Since I met Jamie in Good Girls Don't I wanted to read his story, I knew there was a lot more to him behind the bad boy faade he is portrayed in and I was very glad to find out I was right.

Jamie is not just cute, sexy and caring but he is also misunderstood. The death of his parents affected him more than anyone could imagine, in certain way he feels responsible for their deaths and he has never shared his feelings with anyone, for years he has been carrying this burden alone over his shoulders.

Jamie wants more in his life and is working towards his goal. He is tired of being described as a frivolous, immature and irresponsible man when that's not the truth of whom he really is. He has made mistakes in life, but who hasn't?

Olivia is coming out from a bad marriage, one in which she gave everything of her to her (ex) husband just to be exchange for a younger model, because of this she is an insecure woman who doesn't know who she really is and what she wants in life. To add to that, her parents have diminished her since she was little girl.
I really liked Olivia at the beginning of the book, it was easy to identify with her but with the pass of the pages I started to dislike her behavior with Jamie, for not taking him serious and seeing him as the others see him, just a guy to have fun with. At the end she restored my faith in her, but I'm not sure if it was a little too late.
What I liked the most about Olivia was that she grows trough the pages, she  starts to recover her confidence and starts to do with her life something that would make her happy in the future.

The romance between this two was fun and sexy, with many hot scenes at the best Victoria Dahl's style.

Tessa is still the same Tessa of Good Girls Don't. As before she is still a living drama and trying to manage her bothers lives. We see some of Luke and their relationship and it's clear they are more serious and stable.

Eric, oh, Eric. I really want to hate him because of the way he treats Jamie, but there is something there that doesn't let me do it. In Bad Boys Do Eric still has a stick up to his... spine. I'm eagerly looking forward to read his story in Real Men Will, and I really hope to see his heroine bringing him to his knees.

In general I really liked Bad Boys Do, I can say I liked it a lot more than Good Girls Don't. I find it a very enjoyable read with very real characters, from Olivia to her all too real ex-husband Victor, from sweet and sexy Jamie to creepy and mysterious Wallace.
The story in Bad Boys Do is not just a sexy story it is an emotional one, one that would have you crossing your fingers and wishing for a happy ending.
The sibling's conflicts were a bit too much sometimes, I really hope their issues would be better addressed and solved in Real Men Will.

Wow! While I have loved all the stories in this season so far, this was by far my all time favorite! Up until now Barrett had been my favorite, but then I thought Alex---the virtual bad boy of the family--- would've taken over the #1 spot. But no. Believe it or not, that honor now goes to Stratton, which took me by total surprise because normally I'm more drawn towards the bad boys.

Shockingly....after reading this book, I found out that I love a guy who looks like a Greek God, but still has a little bit of that nerdy side to him. And if that's not enough to make you swoon; Stratton's blantant shyness and his insecurity around women just threw him into my #1 all time favorite hero spot!  Even with his hot and sexy looks, being highly educated, and quite wealthy, we never saw him with a woman in either of the previous books, which made me start to wonder if he might've even been gay. But boy, oh boy, was I ever wrong. He was the most sensual man I've seen.....talk about HOTTTTTT!!!!! I was totally drooling over him by the time I finished this book.

Valarie is very highly educated, but she's also smart and funny. She also knows her own self worth, and refuses to settle for less than she deserves. And what she wants is Stratton, and she's not afraid to go after what she wants. She knows that he is not in a relationship, but she also knows that something, or someone, is holding him back. But that doesn't keep her from trying to win him over.

I like the fact that this story had a slow build to it. In the other books we've seen the other brother's constantly having monkey sex all over the place with their partners, but in this story there is only one such sex scene, and even that one was brief, and even more sensual than all of the others put together.

I did think the ending was a bit abrupt, but other than that this book was fantastic!!!

This book was anything but typical good guy saves the girl! The storyline was intense and ever-changing through the first half to the end. I loved every page! Although the intimate scenes were steamy the story was front and center keeping me intrigued. Can't wait to read the next in line in the series!!!!

I absolutely loved this book.  There was a great bad boy / good girl story which you learn that the bad boy really has a sweet and caring side and the good girl really isn't all that good after all.  I read it in one day and I can't wait for more Martelli Brothers.

OMG Slade is TOTAL WALKING SEX GOD, that is down and dirty and has no shame... Then in walks that one gal that will rock his world, maybe!!!!  This book had a wonderful story line, and you will not be able to put it down.  I could tell from page one that this was going to be one hell of a book.

You cannot help but want to be with Slade, the things this man can do with his tongue, mouth, and other parts will leave you begging to be the happy girl on the other end.  HE IS TOTAL BAD BOY TO THE CORE.....

You have to see for yourself... But I'd kill to be his girl....

This was a very good story and well written, very believable.  DO NOT WASTE ONE SECOND ABOUT GETTING THIS BOOK....

What an emotional story!!! I was swept away by Valerie and her family, it left me in tears. Flynn is sexy as hell, but he has a dark side and keeps his desire for Valerie locked up until he knows for certain she is ready for him. I loved this story! While yes he is a Rock Star and we know how those usually go, not this one though, it was soo much more for me then that. It's hard to say without giving away any spoilers, just trust me and read this book!!!  you will love it!!!  I am eagerly waiting for more of Flynn and Valerie.  <3 <3

I was given this in exchange for an honest review.  I love anything that has to do with Bad Boys who really are soft at heart. This book was the first one I had read by Lexy Timms and loved it! I am currently on book 3 in this trilogy. I can't put them done. I think I will miss Emily and Luke when the book ends.

Luke Wade and Emily Rose Dougherty were in love in high school until that dreaded April 6th, the day that changed both of their lives. Luke, after a long, lonely recovery heads into trouble until he realized he wants more and joins the Navy. Emily leaves at her parents advice. Until one day they meet again at Luke's bike shop.

The story showed you real life issues - Domestic Abuse - physically, emotionally, and mentally; MC's and their stories, the lives of the members and how they just want to have their quiet MC rides up to scenic look-outs and not the drama of other MC's that they are not trying to be.

Great read and can't wait to finish it TODAY!!!!

I could not put this book down. The story was so much fun and had a different take on the old love story - girl meets bad boy, bad boy changes to be with good girl. This story was full of different issues and challenges that kept me glued to me seat. You will not be disappointed reading this book!

LOVED THIS ONE SO HARD!!!!

I don't know where to even begin with my review on this book. I want to start off by saying that you cant judge an author by only having read one book by them. I was one of the rare few that didn't love BAD ROMEO. I actually kind of despised it. I decided that I wouldnt bother to continue on with this series. A month ago, I received an email from the publisher, offering a Netgalley ARC of WICKED HEART. Not sure why I accepted it, but THANK GOD I DID!!!! This book was so addicting for me! It was seriously book crack!! I loved the story and I loved the characters. Most of all I fell pretty hard for Liam Quinn. He is nothing short of SPECTACULAR!! I am now wholeheartedly apologizing to Leisa Rayven for having doubted her writing ability and I am officially going to be fangirling over her when I meet her this summer!!

Lissa Holt is Ethans, from Bad Romeo, younger sister. Shes currently working as the Production Manager on the Broadway rendition of Shakespeares Taming of the Shrew. Shes about to come face to face with the man who obliterated her heart, Liam Quinn. Hes the male lead in the show and hes the one guy she broke her no dating actors rule for, six years ago. It has taken Lissa years to get over the heartache Liam caused but with just one look, all those feelings come rushing back. Whats worse is Liams co-star on the show, Angel Bell, is his fianc and Lissa will be forced to witness their tender and loving gestures towards each other on a daily basis. When Liam finally crosses paths with Lissa, it is very apparent that she still has an effect on him and there is a tortured sadness in his eyes.

From there, we are brought back six years in the past, where these two first met. I loved the transition to the past because in this one we follow it all the way through. The author doesnt alternate every chapter between the past and present. We get a few chapters in the beginning that are in the present and then we are transported back to the past and we don't come back to present day until the whole story from how these two met and fell in love and then lost that love is totally explained to us. I LOVED how Lissa and Liam first met and how that first date ended made me weak in the knees. Its just how Id fantasize about meeting that once in a lifetime true love. I felt the butterflies in my stomach the entire time.

At the time that the two met, Liam was a construction worker and Lissa was a production manager on the set of the Broadway rendition of Romeo and Juliet. After their beautiful night together, Lissa refused to give her number to Liam. The girl was seriously NUTS!!! But she did mention that there were open auditions for the part of Romeo and Liam decides to give it a try. So this is how the two meet up again. Unfortunately, he gets the part and Lissa has a very strict rule about not dating anyone that she works with. For two months they have to endure the torture of seeing each other every day but not being able to be with each other. Let me just say I was in agony along with the two of them and HOLY HELL, on the night that the show is finally over when these two finally get together again, my freaking panties nearly disintegrated!!!! The sex is seriously EXPLOSIVE!! I was panting and just relieved that they were finally together, but it was bittersweet because Liam was off for Hollywood the next day. My heart hurt so much for the two of them.

I loved that there were some refreshing surprises in this one. Like I had expected to really despise Angel, but she ends up being a real sweetheart and its literally impossible to dislike this character. The angst was just on the verge of unbearable but it was oh so good!!! Even though I predicted what the true story was behind all the angst, it never did take away from my pure enjoyment of this book. Liam Quinn had my heart from the beginning and by the end I decided he is so worthy of being added to my top ten book boyfriends of all time list.

I cannot say enough about this book!!  The ultimate sinner bad boy, who is truly a Saint! It pulls you in and is so entertaining that you don't want to put it down. The chemistry between these two is HOT.  These stories can be read as a stand-alone, but all the characters in this series are so perfectly introduced, intertwined, and interesting that you cant help but want to see how each of their stories ends!!  I HIGHLY recommend this whole series in the Sinners of Saint!! If you love Bad Boys these are the books for you!!
