Christian is well on the way to overcoming his trauma from the time he spent in the Middle East.  Logan is looking forward to spending some time with his extended family in New York, but dreading missing Christian while he’s gone.  Throughout it all, they are exploring the possibility of a domestic discipline relationship.

I love the relationship that’s developing between Christian and Logan.  There is so much character growth that happens in the pages of this book.  In the midst of all this self-growth, they both manage to be there when the other needs them.  A wonderful relationship to read and a relationship that has hung around in my mind for a while after finishing it.

As much as I loved Christian and Logan, Logan’s parents continued to bother me.  They are so open with both Christian and Logan-overly open.  I understand that when considering a unique relationship like domestic discipline it may be nice to have a mentor.  I’m just not sure that I can get past the fact that Logan’s parents are the mentors that Logan and Christian choose.  I’m all for a strong relationship between parents and children but some of their conversations made me a bit uncomfortable.  They seemed like conversations that should have happened between best buddies rather than parents and their children (even if they are grown).  But that’s probably all my own hang up.  Maybe it won’t bother others.

Despite all that, I can’t wait to hear what happens next for Logan and Christian.  I’m looking forward to seeing them explore more of the domestic discipline relationship that they’ve only talked about up until now.  Come on, Thianna D,  I need the next installment soon!

Addison has had a horrific upbringing. Truly horrific. She was raised by her junkie prostitute mother. She used drugs to escape her what is described as brutal rapes. After her mother’s death, she searches out her father that she hadn’t seen since her very young childhood. She knows basically nothing about him other than he’s the President of a biker club, his name and that he never wanted her. But she has no place to go since she’s on the run from her past.

Cade is the VP of her father’s club and sexy as sin. He takes one look at Addison and decides he wants her. And he’s not subtle about it either. He is sure she’s on the run from something but not sure what exactly it is. He also loves her filthy sassy mouth. The road for these two isn’t easy since they both have their demons. Not only their pasts but her dad is against them, since he wants a different life for Addison.

I’ve read other reviews about this book but I liked it. I liked it as well as I liked Motorcycle Man or Reaper’s Property. Hot alpha males on motorcycles? Yes, please. I admit that there is some fascination for bikers for me. Probably, because of Sons of Anarchy, but the television is my only source of info about MC’s, so if the descriptions in this book aren’t accurate I’m okay with it. I thought the book was good and fast moving. Dirty sex scenes that were scrumptious. I’m all in on this series and can’t wait to read the next one!

This is a continuation of Addison and Rush’s love story. Rush is still in Las Vegas working at his tattoo shop and Addison is back in Cali trying to get through finals, so she can graduate. Addison is worried about what happens next for them. She’s not content to see each other for a day here and there or even on the weekends. She wants to be with him as much as possible. To see him, touch him, make love with him and wake up next to him.

Rush wants Addison to move to Las Vegas and in with him. He plans to ask her when she comes for the weekend. He hopes she feels the same way he does but he’s cautiously optimistic. He forgot that his ex is coming to town this same weekend and will be working in his shop. He tries to keep the two away from each other because he confided in his ex about what happened between he and Addison in the past.

I love this series. I just wish the books were longer. It’s a series a very short novellas. I adore the characters and I admit I’m a little in love with Rush. He’s a very sexy character. He’s got a filthy mind and a filthy mouth. Both are things I absolutely adore. This kind of wraps up their story and the next book is about Vince and Lisa! I look forward to it and all the wonderfully filthy sex scenes and dialogue that I’m sure will come with it!
