The moment I laid eyes on her as she dangled from a string of Christmas lights from her roof, I knew I was in trouble.

Gorgeous eyes, adorable smile, and a tenacity that I found oddly charming.

And so freaking sexy.

No woman should have that much power over a man. Yet, whenever I found myself around her, I couldn’t contain the need to kiss her, devour her…make her mine.

But this town is known for interfering and causing problems in even the smallest situations, which is why this has to stay a secret.

Every kiss, every second spent in her presence has to be between the two of us.

And yet, unforeseen circumstances force me to put myself out there even when I desperately just want room to recover from my injuries and discover who I am again.

I’ve seen the way she looks at me.

I’ve felt the way she shudders in my arms.

Rumor Has It, this isn’t going to turn out like I planned.

 

I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

Quinn

I have a thing for my best friend’s sister. Charli Miller has always been the woman to own my heart, despite the fact she doesn’t feel the same way. We’re oil and water, fire and ice. We butt heads at every turn, but I’d still do anything for her.

I wouldn’t deny her anything.

Which is why I don’t put a stop to the little arrangement we seem to fall into. Spending that time with her is better than anything I’ve ever experienced, but unfortunately, it makes me crave more. I’ve always wanted Charli, but now, I’m a determined man. Especially when she shocks me with big news.

She’s scared, but I’m ready to fight. Fight for us.

Charli

No one pushes my buttons like Quinn Garrison. He might possibly be the most infuriating man on the face of the planet, and since he’s my younger brother’s best friend, I can’t get away from him. He’s always there, and even when he’s being sweet and supportive, it just grates on my nerves.

Until one day, that irritation explodes.

What happens next wasn’t planned. It’s raw and fueled by years of emotions, and even though I swore it wouldn’t happen again, it does. I let him into my bed and, as time passes, I’m unable to keep him out of my heart. I want everything I didn’t even know I needed, and there’s no going back now.

Especially when I see those two pink lines…

Review: Rags's Awakening: Insurgents MC

Rags's Awakening: Insurgents MC by Chiah Wilder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Spunky N Sassy Rating: 5.0

~~~~~~~~~~Tracy's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review~~~~~~~~~~

Wow this book was quite the journey for Rags and Casey. I Love the insurgents MC family and all their crazy characters. This book was about two broken people learning to trust and letting down their walls. I love how the mystery of the murderers was interwoven with their story of them. I was kept guessing until the very end who the killer was and boy did it keep me on the edge of my seat. I loved Throttle, he was such a great sidekick to Rags. I do have to say that I loved how even though their chemistry was smoking hot they didn't just jump into it their story was allowed to grow naturally and it all just made sense. Everything happened at the right time in this story it was the perfect book. I highly recommend this author, book and series.

Review: Tethered by the Sea

Tethered by the Sea by India R. Adams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Spunky N Sassy Rating: 5.0

~~~~~~~~~~Tracy's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review~~~~~~~~~~

This book Simply put is amazing and stunning, the writing team of India and Nikki it just blew me away. This isn't your typical MC romance so don't think that's what you're going to get with this story. But I have to say that's not a bad thing because this story took me on such a journey that I couldn't put it down. Did I lose sleep? Yes, I did because this book kept me so engrossed and enthralled that I could not put it down to close my eyes. This story follows a young boy and his story starts at the age of 10 getting ready to take a ride with his dad on his dad's bike with the rest of his dad's MC, from this point things get dicey and I'm not going to go into details because I don't want to give too much of this story away and if I do talk too much about it I will. I loved Noma and how much she loved her baby boy. When I think of her it truly brings tears to my eyes for all she suffered and went through for those she loved. Then there are the misfits I loved every single one of them and I cannot wait to see more of their stories. This book left me in shock and awe with the twists that I never expected. I am in love with this series and I've only read the first book I can't wait for what is in store for me next, so write faster!

Review: Claiming Crypt

Claiming Crypt by Nikki Landis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Spunky N Sassy Rating: 5.0

~~~~~~~~~~Tracy's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐++++++++ Review~~~~~~~~~~

Wow! I couldn't put this book down, such a great story. Drama filled around every corner and suspense. I love learning the new skills that Reapers are given, so freaking cool. Rachel and Crypt are perfect and I loved every word. This is one of my favorite MC Families, and I love the paranormal aspect of this series. Nikki Landis is amazing and she has another hit on her hands. I love reading about Grim and his Reapers, can't ever get enough.
