Review: Break Out



Release Date: July 30

I grew up the daughter of Riot MC president. But as much as I love the biker life, my dad insists I break out and live in the ‘real’ world.

After four years of college, everything is great until the night my boyfriend breaks things off.

Reeling and angry, I wander into a small bar and perch on a stool next to an older man. He’s hotter than summer in the Deep South and he goes by the name Steel.

We can’t resist the spark between us.

One night. No strings, no muss, no fuss.

Except for one snag…

When I find Steel again, my ex is bumming cash from the man he calls Dad.

Even worse, he’s one of my dad’s oldest enemies. Once Steel knows who I am, he’s more interested in my ties to the Riot MC than in the secret I have to tell him.

He’s the father of the baby I’m carrying.

My extended Riot family wants to protect me at all costs, but it’s hard to say whose hold I want to break out from more–theirs or Steel’s.












This is a gripping and passionate romance novel that will captivate readers who crave a steamy and intense love story with a strong, independent heroine, a brooding hero, and an intriguing backdrop of loyalty, family, and rebellion, making it a perfect fit for fans of contemporary romance and motorcycle club fiction.

(New Blurb!)


He's too good to be true, but taboo usually is.


When Oryana’s world imploded, she never thought she would smile again, but befriending Flora made her days okay, and seeing Flora's brother Devon, filled her nights with illicit dreams.


She promised Devon would always be off-limits, but when he dangles himself before her, Oryana cannot deny her lustful desires.


Just one night... What could it hurt?


Oryana is about to discover that some vows are not meant to be broken, but shattering them completely can be most satisfying indeed.

His hand cups my cheek. “I’ll do my best to give you what you desire. I need you to promise to do everything I tell you to do. It’s okay to stop and ask questions if you’re unsure, but you must do what I ask. Keep in mind, I’ll never harm you nor make you do anything you don’t want.”

He seems genuine. How bad can this be? If he hurts me, I can ruin his relationship with his sister. I never would, of course. Besides, if I told her anything about this, she’d hate me forever. He’s family, and families stick together. She’d likely cast me aside and never look back. Best friends don’t stab each other in the back. Yet… that’s exactly what I’ve done, and I’m about to do it again.

“I can’t promise to do everything you ask.” My head shakes, and I stutter. “W-what if you tell me to, um, r-run naked through a crowded parking lot? Do you expect me to just do it? Because I definitely won’t humiliate myself for your benefit.”

Seeing the humour in my example, Devon chuckles. “I’d never ask you to do that because I know it’s not something you’d enjoy.”

“You’re damn right! Public nudity isn’t my idea of a fun time.” I didn’t mean for that to be funny, but he laughs nonetheless.

His knuckles glide tenderly down my cheek. The kindness in his eyes softens me. If he continues to look at me with that much affection, I very well could fall in love with him. A broken heart is not desired; knowledge and experience are the goal. 

Growing up, he was so cold and distant. I thought he was an asshole. The way he’s looking at me now, it’s crystal clear that I couldn’t have been more wrong. How can eyes be so dark and mysterious one moment but so quick to switch to reveal the patience of a compassionate man?

“Let’s eat while we talk. I don’t know about you, but I’m hungry,” he says before he presses a warm kiss to my forehead.

“I’m famished.” My butt slips off the stool so he can drag it back to the island.

He lifts the lid off the pot to give it a quick stir before he scoops some into bowls and sets them on the island. He frowns at the bread being slightly burnt around its edges as he piles the pieces onto a plain white plate. I’m impressed that he’s not trying to wine and dine me with elegant dinnerware.

Devon brings salt, pepper, and grated cheese to the table before he refills our wine glasses and sets the bottle on the table.

I have yet to look away from him as he sits, spoon in hand. His glance meets my stare.

He smiles and says, “How about this: You ask me what you’d like to know, and I’ll do my best to answer.”

“If I don’t know about this stuff, how can I ask questions about it?”

“Touché,” he replies and licks his lips as his spoon swirls his chili.

Synopsis

Harlow

I’d started to dread going to work. Until each shift began with a sultry smile from the hottie in a hard hat.

My work in the ER was stressful. Add a longer walk in the sweltering Florida sun because of a hospital remodel, and there was no motivation to go.

Well, except for him.

All bronze and beautiful, he’s a fantasy come to life.

But if a guy like that wanted to settle down, it wouldn’t be with someone with my baggage.

Doesn’t matter. I’m too smart to hook my dreams on another blue collar Beefcake. Any man for that matter. Those only come true in romance novels.

But I can still look. Right?


Harrison

What was I thinking, starting a construction business in Florida? Even dollar signs couldn’t tempt me to arrive at the work site early.

But she could.

I thought the oppressive heat had melted my brain. Is this beauty a mirage? No woman has ever gotten me excited for merely a glimpse of her.

Yet I keep building the wall between us. Flirty moments are all I can chance. There’s no place in my life for more.

As much as I’m dying to make her mine.
