Wilde Love (Dark Horse Dive Bar #1)

By: Jennifer Ryan

Recommendation: 👍👍👍👍 - (Out of 5 👍)

Wilde Love is the first book in the new series by Jennifer Ryan, 'Dark Horse Dive Bar'. This series is a spin off to Ryan's 'Wyoming Wilde' series and follows Chase, Hunt, and Max's cousins. In the original series, we were introduced to the big hearted Lyric, a song writer who co-owns the Dark Horse Dive with her brother and sisters, as well as Viper, a sexy motorcycle riding biker who is a member in the Wild Wolves MC. Viper keeps things close to his vest. Lyric sees that there is more to Viper than he portrays but she understands that there is more to him than meets the eye. When an obsessed fan follows Lyric home from a gig she performed in Nashville on New Year's Eve, Viper steps up to help keep her safe. 

For most of the story, Ryan keeps Viper's true purpose a secret, it is what makes him so sexy and mysterious. Saying Lyric has a big heart is an understatement. Her willingness to step in and help those in need makes her incredibly lovable. She is truly beautiful inside and out. With all of Viper's secrets, a lesser person would have given up on him long ago but Lyric understood that Viper had a purpose and stood by him until the end. I fell deeply in love with both Lyric and Viper. Wilde Love is a fast paced read, with lots of action and incredibly steamy romance. Read it in one sitting and I whole heartedly recommend!

Warrior's Hope (Dark Protectors #16) By Rebecca Zanetti

Recommendation: 👍👍👍👍👍 - (Out of 5 👍)

The first six books in the third story arc of Rebecca Zanetti's Dark Protectors series were simply foreplay for the series finale, 'Warrior's Hope'. Everything that came before was simply leading us to the hot and steamy story I always knew I needed and wanted from Hope and Paxton. There is absolutely nothing that Zanetti can't tackle with her writing. I love everything she has ever written and have been a fan of the Dark Protectors series since day one. Her ability to develop unique worlds, interesting storylines, and amazing characters with every new book blows my mind every time I pick up her books.

Hope Kayrs-Kyllwood is the only female ever born a Vampire. The one problem she seems to be experiencing is that she is closing in on age twenty-five and still has none of the powers or benefits of being a Vampire. With three of her cousins and her best friend she leads one the Realms elite team of warriors. She is also known as the 'lock', the final piece to the puzzle in the Seven's plan to kill an important member of the Kurjan nation. Hope believes her role is to bring peace between the Realm, the Demon Nation, and the Kurjans, no matter the price she has to pay to achieve that goal.

Paxton Phoenix has had a difficult life. When he was a young child his father would beat and abuse him mercilessly. If it wasn't for his best friends, Hope and Libbie, he might not have survived the brutality. Pax would do anything for Hope, including protecting herself from her own delusions regarding negotiating peace with the leader of the Kurjan nation. Paxton has loved Hope since the day he met her and he refuses to allow her to sacrifice herself.

Through each of the books the I have had the opportunity to watch Hope and Paxton grow and eventually develop into the adults they become. It was amazing to finally read their story and know the conclusion to the Seven's plans. Another amazing story from Rebecca Zanetti. I recommend 100%!
