Fate is just a made-up word used to give us hope or absolution. We find hope when we believe bad things happen to us for a reason. We find absolution when we feel as though the wrongs of our past were just fate’s twisted design to bring us to our present, and all of it was out of our hands.

Of course, I sort of change my mind after meeting Axle. The man with scars and haunted, cold eyes. The man who only warms when he is around me. The first man I believe won’t cost me my life. The first man I’ve ever believed to actually be honorable, despite the fact he’s a ruthless criminal.

Only the craziest of fates could have put us in the paths of each other. More of a collision course, really.

Life gets complicated. Shit happens. And I sort of fall harder than I thought possible.

The first time we met, I was in my pajamas and cowering on the floorboard of his SUV, hiding from my very insane brother. Lovely first impression, I assure you.

The second time we met, I was literally skating around a bunch of corpses, because I’m slightly crazy like that. Long story.

Obviously my second impression had just as much impact as my first. Because he fell head-over-heels in love with me in that instant.

Kidding. That last part is complete bullshit. Axle is far more complicated than insta-love nonsense. Which is one of my favorite things about him.

Everything about us is perfectly complicated and wonderfully disastrous.

It’s what every girl dreams of…as long as they’re as crazy as I am.

And I’m just crazy enough to hold on, because I don’t mind being the psycho chick in roller skates, who is flipping fate the bird when it tries to intervene again. It’s just one of my quirks. Turns out, I’m Axle’s brand of crazy too.

Life should be really freaking interesting. Or catastrophic. Or psychopathic.

I guess it depends on how much madness you can embrace.

I love me a bad-ass Biker - yup one here!

I love me a strong funny heroine - yes one of those!

I love me a twisted tale of an MC, death, torture, and betrayal - Umm yeah pretty twisty deadly torturous and betrayally <--- not a word but whatevs!

I love me some strong, funny, amazing supporting characters who will get their own book - wooo hooo yes they will!!!

I also love an unconventional love story - yes yes yes in here!!

Ok so now I've got my tick list in an MC book done. This is Axle's story.

Dark brooding and downright scary Axle is the dark one. The one who shows no emotion. Horrifically scarred he's used to people being scared of him. The only attachments he has are to his club and brothers. He's supporting his Prez with all he has since the split in the club. He'll do whatever it takes to keep them on top. He has no room for anything else and he knows he'll never have anything more. That is until he helps rescue a girl who's hiding in his car.

Maya's life is currently in chaos. Family are out to kill her and take her inheritance. She's trying to stop a sex trafficking ring along with trying to help run one of the four families. She's dealing with all this as well as dealing with grieving the death of her parents. As soon as she sets eyes on Axle she gets an immediate reaction. He's not a pretty boy, he's a survivor and his voice to her is pure sex. His eyes hold her captive. She's a little crazy and decides he's safe for her. She offers the MC a job as she needs all the help she can get. They decline the job and Sarah takes her in. Months later Sarah takes her back to the club for her own reasons throwing Axle and Maya together again.

I won't say too much more but... it's not hearts and flowers and rainbows but it's honest, crazy and roller skate-tastic.

I Flove Axle!! He's just so... i mean... broody... and ummm.. sexy... and unintentionally funny... and strong... and badass!!! He's sooooo YUM!!! He's a little bit broken. He's a little bit hard hearted. But underneath oooohhh emmmm geeeeeee what a man!! I'm in love!!! He doesn't do soft but what he does do is understated. He doesn't have to say sweet nothings he shows it with his body and woo hoo what a bod!

I flove Maya. She's so... umm i have a lady crush... she's funny... and joyful... whatever the circumstances she adapts. She's HOT! Underneath it all she want's someone to depend on. Someone who makes her feel safe and warm. Someone who won't betray her. I love her special brand of cray cray. Let the bodies hit the floor!!! LOL she really is nuts but it's a good type of random nuts.

Together? Oohhhhh yeah!!! Just magical! Maya wasn't backwards in coming forwards with what she wants and once Axle realizes she's the real deal he gladly obliges her!! OOOH Holy shower banging!!! *Insert goofy grin* read it and you'll get my grin reference. It's my fave scene!!! She definitely earned it.

The story gripped me from the get go. There's action and torture and plot twists you won't see coming. I also love the continuing story-line from Property of Drex of Philip and Drex's dad Herrin. Also the saga between Jude and Sarah!! I can't wait for their story!!! it's gonna be a long old tease before their book.

The writing as always with this author is top notch! She's just flippin brilliant!

All the supporting characters add hugely to the story. Jude and Sarah, Drake, Rush, Colleen, Sledge are all unraveling their own stories along the way.

I love a good series. A good series makes you desperate for the next book. It makes you care about people that are on the outside of the book you're reading but you want to know them anyway. This book. This series so far. All that and sooo much more! If you have never read an MC book before these are the ones for you!

Can't recommend this book, or this series high enough. 50 million MC stars! ok nope scrap that. 100 million... noooooo ok Infinity stars!!! yep that's better!

*** RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW *** Lovestruck by Lila Monroe




Title: Lovestruck
Author: Lila Monroe
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: April 30, 2017

Blurb

One week in paradise with the one man I can’t resist… 

Will Cassidy is hot, infuriating, and the guy behind the biggest heart-stomping humiliation of my life. He’s also hosting my BFF’s destination wedding at his super-luxe tropical resort, so short of a hurricane or outbreak of the plague (here’s hoping), I’m stuck within t̶o̶n̶g̶u̶e̶’s̶ arm's reach of him for the next seven days.

But I’m not a naive college girl anymore, and there’s no way I’m falling for his (many) charms again. I just have to ignore the romantic wedding shenanigans, his miraculous abs, all those intimate beach sunsets... And did I mention those abs? 

Maybe a wild vacation fling is exactly what I need to even the score... But between the scorching chemistry and all-inclusive margaritas, I’m getting drunk on love. Which definitely isn’t part of the plan. 

Can I keep my heart zipped - even if my bikini bottoms are lost somewhere on that nude beach? And how do you let go of the past when you’re holding on tight to the past’s (very ripped) torso?

Find out in the sexy, hilarious new romantic comedy from Lila Monroe!

My Review 

Lovestruck is a light romantic comedy that kept me thoroughly entertained. Will and Ruby have hilarious banter with sexual tension to spare. And with just enough intrigue to keep me guessing, Ms. Monroe proved once again that she writes good rom-com.

Ruby is taking her first vacation is forever for her best friend's destination wedding when she's brought face to face with Will for the first time since he left her broken hearted in college. It turns out that the two will be spending the week in paradise together. Will is the owner of the resort that they'll be staying at and best friends with the groom. Ruby does her best to keep her distance from Will but right from the start, it proves nearly impossible. Will is just as magnetic as he was in college and Ruby finds herself falling for him all over again. This time she's determined to keep her heart under wraps but decides that maybe a wedding fling won't be so bad. With hilarious hijinks, super sexy times and a witty wedding events, Ruby and Will spend the week getting to know each other *inside* and out. But when they both learn of what really happened in their shared past, they have to decide if a fling is really all there is left between them. 

This was a fairly quick and light romance that made me laugh. I liked that the build up to Ruby and Will's history kept me guessing and their time together was explosive. Lovestruck is the perfect weekend read and another wonderful addition to Ms. Monroe's catalogue.

*** BLOG TOUR, REVIEW, EXCERPT & GIVEAWAY *** Dr. OB by Max Monroe


Blurb:

It’s just a docuseries about your career as an OB/GYN, they said. 
It won’t interrupt your life during or after filming, they said. 
It is a great opportunity for the hospital and your practice, they said. 

Well, they—the television executives who seem intent on ruining my career and personal life with a fair number of creative liberties—lied. 
Now I’m stuck dealing with the consequences of believing them. 

Instead of being known as Dr. Will Cummings, Head of Obstetrics and Gynecology at St. Luke’s Hospital, I’m now being called Dr. Obscene. 

What devotion I’d hoped to earn in respect, I’ve instead received in patients flashing me seductive smiles and flirtatious winks during their exams. 

How’s a guy supposed to convince the most perfect woman he’s ever met that he’s not as much of an idiot in real life as he appears to be on camera? 

With all of the show’s side effects taking root like parasites, it’s going to take a lot to persuade Melody Marco to be anything more than my new nurse.

But I can’t get her out of my head. 

I want her. 

Good thing I’ve never been one to back away from a challenge…

Get ready, Melody. 

The doctor is in.

Dr. OB Playlist: 


Tiny Tease:

“Oh, come on. If I were really trying to torture you, I wouldn’t have protected you from the fact that Savannah has been in there trying to convince Georgie that, and I quote, it’d be the most natural thing in the world for you to be her obstetrician.”

Internally, I cringed. Externally, I cringed. In fact, it felt like Kline had just jabbed me in the back of the throat with his finger, and my gag reflex was doing nothing more than reacting accordingly—hacking cough, choking sensation, slight nausea.

I loved my career as a physician in obstetrics, but I’d sign up to flip burgers at the nearest fast-food joint if it meant avoiding doing vaginal exams on my sister. The mere thought was worse than that disgusting horror flick called The Human Centipede. 

Seriously, if you’ve never seen that movie, don’t fucking see that movie. 

That flick is more traumatic than the blue waffle and that “Two Girls One Cup” site combined. 

Jesus. Don’t Google those either. 


My Review

What a hilarious start to a new series (and more from some past favorites)! Dr. OB was a sweet and sexy romance that was bit silly in parts and emotional in others but wonderful all the same. Will was a hero that any romance lover with adore and Melody was a heroine that I could totally see myself in. If you've loved Max Monroe's previous works, this will be exactly what you are hoping for and if you're new to the duo, it's the perfect place to start. 

Will is a head of the OB/GYN department at St. Luke's hospital and recently agreed to be filmed for a reality show featuring him and two other doctors. But what he thinks will be a real look into the hospital is more of a lewd take on him personally. Now his patients are either disgusted by him or making appointments just to try and get to him. Melody hasn't heard of the new show when she moves back to New York after leaving her ex-boyfriend in Seattle. Living with her parents until she can get back on her feet, her mother sets her up with a job interview working for Dr. Cummings as his nurse. What starts as flirting turns into more but that reality show Will filmed before he ever knew Melody continues to be the bane of his existence. 

I haven't had so much fun reading in a while. I laughed right from the dedication and didn't stop. It was a sweet and easy rom-com that I didn't want to put down. And if you thought you'd seen the last of those Billionaire Bad Boys, you are in for a fun surprise. Max Monroe weaves Melody and Will's story perfectly so that I was able to fall in love with them but come back to some of my favorites. And the hints at the next two stories in this series have me SO excited for more from this new series.
