~~Review~~ City Lights by Colbie Kay


Title: City Lights (Satan's Sinners MC #1)
Author: Colbie Kay
Publisher: Self Published
Published Date: March 28, 2015
Genre: Romance/ Erotica/ Suspense
Page Count: 211



Zoey Porter has been wanting a way out. She wasn't expecting it to happen the way it did. Hanger, President of the Satan's Sinners, is an asshole. Never caring about anything or anybody except his self and his brothers. One night changes everything for the both of them and no one seen it coming. What happens when a sweet girl that's had her choices taken from her is found by Hanger? Will he start having more to care about and want to give her the life back that she lost?


With the boom of MC related books, you don't often find one that stands out. Kay's book, City Lights, stands out as a fantastic kickoff to the series. When most books, in this genre, either have too much sex or violence, Kay is able to find a happy medium. 

Zoey is more than expected. Having come out of a violent relationship, you would expect her to be timid. Instead she shoots out with gusto and toughness. I admire her tenacity. She's not written as a character who is intimidating but one who is likable.

Hanger is a hardcore MC president. He never expected to find love. His character is emotional yet tough. He is the epitome of a MC president but has a softer side that is see with Zoey and her family. I love his character, especially after he learns sign language to communicate with Zoey's sister.

All of the characters work well together to help create this atmosphere. The only thing I have to say about them is that I wanted to know more about Ever and Writer and Bear and Jacey. I felt that their story-lines were not as developed as the others. I hope that we get more information on them in the future.  

I loved Kay's storytelling. Especially when it came to Zoey. After leaving an abusive relationship, she did not just throw her character into another. She took her time and had them get to know each other first. I appreciate that. It seemed more real. I truly enjoyed reading this book and I look forward to reading more from this author.

Incandescent Synopsis

Phoenix ‘Nix’ Knight thought pulling his club out of the illegal shit his Pops got them into was difficult. 

Until he meets Kadence. 

Kadence Turner has no business lusting over a student’s father, especially the president of the Knights Rebels MC. Nix is crass, obnoxious and dangerously sexy and for some reason, Kadence can’t seem to hate him for it. The bossy biker breaks down her defenses, but unlike the old Kadence, the woman she is today won’t give in without a fight. 


The tension is undeniable, the attraction fierce. A man that wants what he wants and a woman that will fight him every step of the way.

Review:

Incandescent is a MC book that shoots out of the gate with a great start and maintains the momentum throughout. This book is hot and sexy but has a great storyline. The characters do fall fast but they have a strong relationship also. Savage is fantastic in creating the MC world that is convincing and entertaining. It’s not overly violent but has enough to convey the dangerousness of the MC. Nix and Kadence are the perfect MC couple. The characters that she creates are easily relatable. You find yourself wanting to befriend them because they are so entertaining. The suspense part of the book is well written. It adds to the dynamic perfectly. Overall this book is a great start to this series.

Review:

Affliction is Sy and Holly's book. It is an emotional rollercoaster ride. We learn about Sy's past and it's a sad one. Then we have Holly's story, which takes place after the kidnapping in the previous book. With all of this emotion, you are left crying.
Holly is left distraught after losing her unborn child at the hands of a madman. She's having a hard time moving on and hasn't told Sy what happened. Holly is full of darkness and despair. She doesn’t want anyone’s help and that leaves her alone. Savage does a great job of showing the feeling of PTSD.  It’s dark, it’s lonely and it sucks. Most would read her character and think that she should have just told Sy. I get that. I also understand why she couldn’t do it. This book brought so much out of Holly. She becomes her own person. No longer is she just the friend but now she is Holly. It’s wonderful to read her transformation from the despair to finally finding happiness.
Sy shows a side that we did not know. He isn’t the silent and brooding biker. This man is loving, caring and a fierce protector. He comes into his own also. He shows us why we love Sy.
Savage again has created a winner. Her writing is fantastic and does a great job in creating this world of characters. I enjoy reading her books and look forward to more.

Reclaimed Synopsis

When the woman you love is lost, how hard will you fight to get her back?

Following the birth of her daughter, Kadence Knight finds herself in a battle she never prepared for. With desperation and unhappiness threatening to overwhelm her, a sense of hopelessness pulls her away from the one thing she has always longed for: a family. 

As Nix watches his wife struggle with something he doesn't understand, he can't help but feel disconnected to his woman. The Kadence he once knew has drifted into the darkness. In her place is a shadow of the woman she once was, one who is fearful of the impossible...failing their daughter. 

This Valentine’s Day, Nix has one goal — to reclaim the woman who gave him everything. 

*Please note this is a novella and features the characters from the previous storyline. 
The events of Reclaimed take place after Incandescent and Affliction. Book one and two in the Knights Rebels MC. 
To get the full advantage of the story, and character development, I strongly suggest you read in order.

Review:

Reclaimed is the best book so far in the series. The reason is because this book tackles an issue that most authors do not, postpartum depression. Kadence is suffering from it after the birth of her daughter. The reason is because she feels insecure about her body. Kadence has scars from a fire she was in years earlier. That on top of her post labor, has created this feeling. What also makes this book interesting is that Savage gives us the male’s POV also. We have Nix who is trapped in this battle to show his wife that she is beautiful and loved abut he is at a loss. We see a different side of both characters. They are vulnerable. Their story is one that most readers can understand and associate themselves with the characters.
I commend Savage on tackling this subject. She told the story beautifully from both sides. This just adds more of a dynamic to her as a writer. Great job.

~~Pre Release Blitz~~ Silver Bastard by Joanna Wylde





 Meet Puck & Becca on April 7th!
Amazon US | Amazon UK | B&N | Kobo | iBooks


Blurb
First in the new Silver Valley series from the New York Times bestselling author of the Reapers Motorcycle Club Novels.

Fourteen months. For fourteen months, Puck Redhouse sat in a cell and kept his mouth shut, protecting the Silver Bastards MC from their enemies. Then he was free and it was time for his reward--full membership in the club, along with a party to celebrate. That's when he saw Becca Jones for the first time and set everything in motion. Before the night ended he'd violated his parole and stolen her away from everything she knew.

Five years. It was five years ago that Puck destroyed Becca and saved her all in one night. She's been terrified of him ever since, but she's even more terrified of the monsters he still protects her from... But Becca refuses to let fear control her. She's living her life and moving forward, until she gets a phone call from the past she can't ignore. She has to go back, and there's only one man she can trust to go with her--the ex-con biker who rescued her once before.

Puck will help her again, but this time it'll be on his terms. No more lies, no more tears, and no more holding back what he really wants...


Excerpt
“The Longnecks—they’re the MC my stepdad hung around with—they kept a lot of club whores around. Do the Silver Bastards do that, too?”

“Yup,” she replied. “It’s a free country and the brothers bring guests here all the time. Some of them stick around, some of them don’t. Some find they aren’t as welcome as they thought.”

“Doesn’t that bother you?”

“Boonie’s dick is the only one that matters to me,” she replied, her voice matter-of-fact. “As for the women, I care less about who they’re sleeping with than how they act the rest of the time. Like I said, fuck with the sisters and you won’t last. Bridget won’t be back if she keeps this shit up.”

“Old ladies didn’t get to make those decisions in the Long- necks.”

Darcy smiled sweetly. “We don’t get to make those decisions in the Silver Bastards, either. Yet the right decisions still magically happen. Nobody knows how, really. Guess it’s just all our good karma coming back to us.”

My mouth dropped. Darcy winked.

“You think those men don’t need us?” she asked. “Boonie likes sleeping next to me. Gets cold and lonely when all the old ladies take a girls’ weekend in Seattle. Would be even colder and lonelier if we didn’t come back, and one time we forgot to for nearly a week. Fortunately things worked out and we found our way home again. Now things tend to work out faster.”

My eyes went wide.

“You serious?”

“Do I look like a woman who will eat shit?”

Point taken.

“Let’s get this trash out. I’m sure Puck will be looking for you  soon, and I want to make sure all the girls meet you first. That boy’s crazy about you—it’s cute. Like a pit bull crushing on a kitten.”
