Synopsis

Sex. Who really knows sex? I mean, we've all had sex, great sex even but when you get down to the details, how many of us actually see sex for the raw, primal act that it is?

I thought I knew sex. I've had sex. Heck, I've felt lust. Once, I've even felt love. I thought I knew exactly what sex was. 

Until I met Cade.

He's the meaning of sex. 
He's a biker.
He's dangerous.
He's powerful.
He's dominant.
He wants me.

My world is about to change, for the better? I don't know. But here's my story, I hope you're ready for it because it's not the beautiful, heart wrenching story most people have to tell. It's passionate, forbidden, morally incorrect and downright, fucking beautiful.

Excerpt

He leans closer, lifting his heavily ringed fingers to stroke my cheek so lightly, I tremble. 
“You’re the kind of girl that makes a man want to stop what he’s doing, just so he can get a moment to look at that angelic face – a face that will keep him awake for the rest of his fuckin’ life. That’s the kind of girl you are, sugar.”

I swallow, feeling my body coming to life beneath his touch. 
“I think you’re wrong,” I breathe as he leans even closer. 
“I’m not wrong. I’ve seen a lot of people in my life, and I’ve been with a lot of girls. None of them are as real as you. I’ll fuck you, sugar. I’ll claim you because you’re the meaning of need. You’re what I’ve been lookin’ for.”

Is he serious? I tremble as he moves even closer, bringing his lips only millimeters from mine. I swallow over and over, trying to think of anything else but him. How could he possibly want me that much, after a mere week and a bit? It’s not possible; he doesn’t know me. He just wants something different, a challenge perhaps? I don’t know, but I do know he’s completely wrong about me. 
“I’m not what anybody looks for. I’m not what they fight for. I’m not what they breathe for. I’m not the girl you think I am.”

He leans down, shocking me as he slides his lips over mine, gently at first, then roughly when I begin to respond. I can’t help my hand, as it lifts up to wrap around the chain on his jeans. I tug it, bringing him closer. His boots crunch in the dirt as he takes a step closer, pressing his body against mine. I open my mouth, allowing his tongue to slide in and tangle with mine. His fingers travel up my neck, over my cheek and then he thrusts them into my hair, tangling it around them. The kiss is the kind of kiss that stops your breath, the kind of kiss that stops everything. For a split second, all I can feel is him. When he pulls back, I snake my tongue out and lick the last of him off my bottom lip.

Review

The synopsis of this story sounds amazing, it makes you keen and eager to get stuck into this book….so I did!

I was introduced to Addison, poor Addison (I’m sure if I said that to her face she would kick my arse) she has experienced such turmoil and horrible things in her young life.  Left with no way forward but to survive that is exactly what she does.

When her life takes a turn and she needs to escape, she tracks down her old man, who she doesn’t know, and who is the president of Hell’s Knight MC.

Her take no shit and sassy attitude make an immediate impression when she comes face to face with Jackson (her dad), not to mention Cade.  

Cade is the Vice President of the MC and he is – phhhoooooaaaaarrrrrrr  HOT!  He is older than Addison, but is drawn to her like moths to a flame.  When these two finally connect it is so damn hot….  

Addison comes across exactly how I thought someone with her experiences should, fear is not something she readily knows, because to be fearful means to give up, and she is nothing if not a survivor.  It is these traits that make her loveable, feisty and a great character.

Cade is nothing if not a badass biker, alpha male.  He dominates when he needs to, but he gets tested by Addison all the time, which is great!  He also is a sweetheart underneath all that rugged biker, and knows how to look after his girl!  This guy is nothing if not well seasoned, and adventurous.  Lets just say that Harley’s, ice and of course 69 all have a different look to me now!

Never a dull moment in this book, but the last 10% send it skyrocketing with some serious drama!  The heart is pumping as you only hope the ending is a happy one.

This book does not have a cliff hanger…  but definitely leads us through an introduction to the characters in the next book.  We meet many secondary characters that could hold their own story, but none as interesting as Spike…  let’s just say that I am intrigued to learn more about him, and how he got his name ;) 

I am rating this a solid 3.5.  I enjoyed it.  But it was not up there with my super good or even amazing 4 + reads.  I think Bella has the makings of an amazing writer, and I cant wait to see her grow.  Where this fell for me was with the editorial errors (pet peeve, sorry its hard to overlook) and the complexities of these characters not really getting the due they deserved.  That said – it is a read, that if any one asked me – I would say – its HOT, its good and its quick and dirty, so hop on for the ride!  

Definitely 3 1/2 hearts for me

Heaven's Sinners




Synopsis


Spike knows tragedy, he knows that feelings are better left hidden. He refuses to put his heart out there again, it's a pain he's not willing to ever let himself feel. He's got a mission. He's got a goal. Nothing is going to get in his way. He will seek his revenge.


But then there's Ciara, the sister of his deceased wife. She's beautiful and damned determined to throw herself into his life in hopes they can reform an old friendship, but Spike won't hear of it, and Ciara refuses to give up.

Who will win the battle of wills?

Excerpt


“I am proud of myself,” I scream so loudly the entire bar goes silent. “I am proud of everything I’ve done, and that includes him.” I jab a finger at Spike. “He’s everything to me, and he was everything to me before Cheyenne came along. If you want to hate me, go right ahead. It’s not like I haven’t lived my entire life with the same emotion being tossed at me on a daily basis. I am sorry Cheyenne is gone, but it isn’t my fault. It was never my fault. She wanted Spike, she pushed for him, and you can blame me as much as you want for that, but she was a big girl and she made her own choices. I’ll never be sorry for being with him now, because I love him. I’ve loved him far longer than she did, and I’ll love him until I stop breathing. Maybe it’s wrong, maybe it’s disgusting, but it’s my happiness and you know what?” I get to my feet, my legs shaking. “I fucking deserve it!”

Then, with legs that don’t want to move, I walk out of the bar. I get to the parking lot before they catch up with me. My mother grips my arm and swings me around, her face wild with emotion. Then suddenly, she lets me go. Her eyes widen and she takes a few steps backwards. I turn slowly, and see what she sees. Spike, Cade, Granger, Muff and about ten other bikers are standing in a massive line, glaring at her. She stumbles backwards, and clutches my father’s arm. Spike steps forward until he’s in their faces. 

“You ever lay a mother fucking hand on her again, I’ll kill you,” he hisses at my father, and then he turns to my mother. “And if you ever call her another trashy name, I’ll knock you the fuck out. I will only say this once, so you fuckin’ listen and listen good. Cheyenne made her fuckin’ choices, and her choice was me. She put herself in my life, and she chose to stay there. Ain’t Ciara’s doing, and it wasn’t my doing. I loved your daughter, I loved her with everything I knew how to love with at the time, I took care of her, and then I fucked up, and she’s gone because of me. I’m not sayin’ I’ll ever forgive myself for that, ‘coz I won’t, but it can’t be undone. As for her,” he points a finger at me. “She’s been my fuckin’ heart since the day I laid eyes on her. She’s been treated like a fuckin’ dog by you two, and her sister, and she didn’t deserve that. You have done wrong by her, and you fuckin’ know it. You will never admit it though, because you’re too fuckin’ selfish.  

You can call me every name under the sun, you can disown her and treat her like a dog, and you can think whatever you want about the situation, but the reality is that I fuckin’ love Ciara, and I’ve loved her from the moment I laid eyes on her. Don’t mean I didn’t love Cheyenne, ‘coz I fuckin’ did, it just means I probably didn’t love her as much as she deserved, and she did fuckin’ deserve it. The truth of the matter is that my heart has, and always will, belong to Ciara and there ain’t no fuckin’ way I’m livin’ another second without her, because of shit that went on in the past.”


Review


This story is about Spike….Oh Spike…  my heart breaks and beats for Spike.  He is dysfunctionally perfect to me.

As we met Spike in Hell’s Knight, we learnt some of what makes him tick, but in this book we get pretty much all of it – the first love, the heartache, the tough ass kinky sex fiend, the biker, and the sweetheart.

Heaven’s Sinner takes us on a ride with Spike and Ciara.  Ciara is also someone who we met in Hell’s Knight, she is close with Cade, cared for by Jackson, and becoming Addison’s best friend.  She is also the key to Spikes heart – both in the past and the present.

This is one hell of an emotional tale.  The roller coaster that Spike and Ciara go on tugs at your heart strings, rips them a little bit and has you hoping for good things.

This story also sees the relationship between Cade and Spike begin to heal, in the only way tough guy bad ass bikers can let it.  These guys have history and you know that if it wasn’t for Addison and Ciara softening their hearts this story could have gone a different way!

Bella sucked me in with this one – not only was it such an emotive story, but man …  the sex rocked! Spike oh Spike – I wanna see them…all of them….in place…just once…. I promise I won’t tell! Besides – you don’t mind if I watch do ya Spike!!!!  (Crap did I say all of that out loud?)  This man is all man.

Oh yeah…  sidebar from the hot sex….  Fuck me, but she made me shed a tear!  Badass Bikers with hearts – damn they get me every time!

Bella, I truly cannot wait to see where your crazy writing mind takes these stories – and how you grow as an author – if these are your early works – god help us as you further develop!

As for my rating… I was thinking 4 hearts…  but then when I think I might have to take my man and get him pierced I lean closer to a 4 ½ hearts read….

4 1/2 Hearts....  oh Spike!
