I am Jaggers side chick and Laramie has to know this so I was blessed with an early copy of my mans book..
HAHAHAHA I was over the moon...
Jagger in this book is a little distant from Bianca and there is a reason why he has been working late and spending his time away from her. Bianca being the woman that she is she starts to get pissed..
I mean I would too. they have a ROUGH PATCH and it was tuff for me to read. I loved how Jagger handled things he was so sweet and gentle like always. Bianca she is so feisty I can't help but love her.
The end was perfect I was bat shit jealous **shhhh we won't tell my hubby** I think this was amazing especially after the end of there story it was just fabulous. Now all I need next is Jagger and Bianca babies!!
I had the honor of receiving an ARC of Rough Patch.
After several years together, Jagger and Bianca are facing difficult times most couples face. This is their novella of their struggles and how they deal with them.
I stopped what I was doing and read it the moment I received Rough Patch. Rough Patch is fantastic. I cried with Bianca. Their struggle is one we can all relate. They work hard to come together and repair difficult times before it become permanently damaged.
I love Bianca and Jagger. This is the perfect addition to their story. I guarantee this will be in my mix of go-to-re-reads, along with the rest of the HH series. I can not get enough of Jagger and Bianca
4 1/2 stars, This review is for Rebound Biker from Bijou Hunter. Like with all Bijou Hunter books this book has an amazing hero who is possessive and strong and at the very basic core of him all that matters is his woman. Also in this book is a first for Ms. Hunter, we meet Meredith who isn't damaged and is a professional woman. Stepping out of her usually Bijou Hunter does an amazing job creating this new world that was so easy to sink my teeth into.
After her divorce from her boring husband a friend and her sister convince Meredith that she needs a rebound guy to get her out of her funk. Going out to a bar she runs into Winston after having too much to drink. Winston is sick of his usual type, the drama from woman has gotten old and he wants a good woman who will care about him, running into Meredith seems like it was meant to be. Knowing each other in High school they spend an amazing week together before Winston's family moved away. Now with Meredith right in front of him Winston plans to see where this meeting will take them. Waking up to Winston Meredith can't believe they have found each other again and quickly agree's to a date.
The longer they spend together the more they begin to fall in love. Soon they are inseparable and getting to know each other all over again while finding just what they always wanted in each other. But each Winston and Meredith come from very different backgrounds and worries that the differences may turn the other off. And since they both never intended on forever the longer they spend together the more that each worries that the other doesn't want forever.
This was an excellent novella, This book never felt rushed and drawn out. Like with all Bijou Hunter books we get a great epilogue which I always love but especially in novella's since it give us a glimpse into the future of the character's after not having as much time with the characters. The world that was created was so easy to get sucked into, this book was an all around great novella with amazing characters. This book wasn't bogged down with unimportant filler, it was a perfect novella that was fun, fast and hot which is what I love in novella's.
Winston was a great hero he knew he wanted the heroine and he planned to keep her no matter what he had to do to convince her, he was possessive even when no other man was a threat but just because she was his and no man would have her but him. Meredith was a great heroine who even though she came from very different world from the hero wasn't going to let anyone's expectations stop her from being with the love of her life if it ever came to that. Both of these charters knew what they wanted and went after what they wanted. I couldn't have asked for more in a novella it had everything it needed to be a great book and nothing unnecessary that can sometimes ruin of dampen shorter books. I can't wait to read the rest of this collaboration book as well as everything else Ms. Hunter creates.
I like box sets since they give me a taste of what various authors’ writing styles and story lines without me having to pay for their whole book. Some of the authors in this box set I knew, others I have never heard of before. There was one story I never knew of the author before NEVER TO HOPE by Aimee Grey, that I really liked the writing style and how the author made me connect to the characters very quickly. I did not care for what the story dealt with a prostitute, but the heroine was likable and there was a lot that drew me into the story. Also, there was twist in that story, which I always like. So I know I will be checking out more books by Aimee Grey.
I would read a story in this box set every time I was in between books and was not sure what I wanted to start next.
This box set had the blue collar working heroes so it was a change from the billionaire books that I was reading. These were nice and sweet. Some I enjoyed more than others, but that had a lot to do with the main characters more than the writing. Overall, it was nice.
this is my review for Rough Patch. I love the story about Jagger and B they are two of my favorite couples from the Heaven Hill Series. It never fails to make me smile when Laramie brings in a lil rough patch to stir up the pot.. I think she did a great job with the book and I would recommend it to anyone that has read any of the Heaven Hill Series.. but please read them in order or you will be confused. Keep up the great work Laramie and I look forward to reading the other books in the Book set as well!! I'm looking forward to more Heaven Hill Books as well!!
When I heard Laramie Briscoe was putting together a box set with some of the best angst-ridden emotionally charged and sexy authors out there I was giddy with excitement. This box set has ten brand new exciting short stories about those calloused-hand, sweat laden, muscle bound bad boys of the blue collar variety that girls tend to go stupid over. Move along over-saturated-with-billionaires-in-suits-market and make way for the grease monkey’s, MC daredevils, fighting champs and rookie cops of this box set beauty. Bijou Hunter is one of my go-to authors, the woman has never written anything I didn’t devour in a day flat so to see her trade mark sass, sex and humour in Rebound Biker made me one very happy reader.
What I found particularly amazing about this box set was the fact that I’d only ever read Laramie, Bijou and Chelsea before this. I was able to get a taste of the writing style the other ladies use and I loved it. Each story was completely individual, drama to the max with a healthy dose of erotica to get your adrenaline pumping, pushing you towards the happily-ever-after. There was one particular story that stood out for me and I think it will be a case of you either love it or loathe it, for me I feel a bit indecisive. It does have a lovely ending but to get to it you need to toil through some pretty heavy duty emotional stuff and what I would class as cheating and unfortunately I’m not a big fan of that in any context but I’m not going to spoil it and reveal what story it was or who wrote it.
I sometimes find with short stories in box sets that the writing is rushed and below par with the characters suffering because of a rapidly moving timeline but Blue Colla was a fantastic box set with sterling writing and characterisation, it proves how talented these ladies are being able to pack such an emotional punch with mesmerising characters in such a short space. So it goes to show you, it really doesn’t matter what size you are, it’s what you can do with it that matters.
Rebound Biker by Bijou Hunter was great! Funny, sweet and hot.
Rescuing the Bridesmaid by Stella Hunter was really good. But ...
Heath by Chelsea Camaron was sweet.
Twist by Carian Cole was so good. I can't wait to read more by Ms. Cole, especially if she continues the story of Twist and Marlie. And gives us more of Riley!
Nobody But You by Seraphina Donavan was another great one. Hot guy, tattoos and a kitten ... Oh my!
Hot Summer Nights by Laramie Briscoe was okay.
Never To Hope by Aimie Grey was not my favourite in this anthology.
Unhinged by Cat Mason was really great.
Defending Her Turf by Christina Tomes was also really good. I have to look into lawn maintenance this summer. ;0}
Rough Patch (Heaven Hill Series 6.5 - Jagger) by Laramie Briscoe I will read as soon as I finish Second Chance Love.
I was gifted a copy of Rough Patch for an honest review. Loved this novella of Jagger and Bianca! They are two of my favorites of this series! Bianca is excited that school is out for the summer!! She is looking forward to spending some time with Jagger. But she feels like Jagger has been distant lately. He's been working late and has been short with her. She's worried that he's hiding something from her or they've lost their spark. Jagger is tired of the long hours he's been working and feels frustrated that he hasn't been able to spend time with Bianca. He knows that Bianca is upset and he doesn't know what to do. He only needs a little more time and he can reveal what he's been working on. Can their love survive this bump in their relationship? You will love this short book of the Heaven Hill series! The other stories in the boxed set looks totally awesome!
Brand new stories in a complilation, whatever's next
Ok, yes I love a hot billionaire as much as the next girl, there's something about the money and how it affects the man, they're usually dominant and used to getting what they want, so yes give me a hot billionaire romance but there's also something about getting down and dirty with a working man, a mechanic, MC, tattoo artist, construction worker etc so as soon as I noticed this collection I had to buy it after all it contains ten brand new stories which makes a change these days I used to love compilations but I've become a bit disillusioned recently since it seems to be the same authors and the same 'first in series' rolled out time and time again under a different title. So I'm excited.......
This boxset was amazing - normally I get a boxset and read a couple of stories in it and then leave but I was so intrigued by the great authors in this that I had to read them all! I was not disappointed! Blue collar workers are HOT!
I got a ARC of Nobody But You and this is my review.
What do you do when you realize you've fallen HARD for your best friend's little brother? Move in with him ;) And let the lust fly!! Oh..and throw in a rescued kitten that looks more like a werewolf.
This was a little darker then what I'm used to from CC, but it shows range. Loved Heath and his protective nature. Loved Wendol. Wanted to reach into my tablet and hug LoraLeigh.
I received a copy of this book from Love Between the sheets in exchange for an honest review.
I don't think I've had it yet with billionaires and royalty. However, nothing can compare to the rough and tumble charm of bikers, country boys, and other men who work with their hands. This box set is full of those men. The set has ten steamy novellas which were all entertaining and had swoon-worthy heroes who will undoubtedly get any reader to fall in love with them.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading each novella. Some of them may need to be read from the beginning of the own series; however, they can also be just read on their own, as a short story that's full of heat and romance. All the authors in this book managed to write about heroes and heroines who all show us that living THE life does not always mean owning a multi-million dollar company, or dressing in designer clothes and attenting chic parties.
It was really a great opportunity to be chosen to review this book because I had such a great time with it. I was already familiar with some authors, so I already knew beforehand that their novellas would be great. However, some of the names I haven't met before surprised me big time because their stories were also really good. This box set comes highly recommended from me. It's a great bargain to get so much for such a low price.
I was provided a copy of the book by the Authors for an honest review.
WOW HOLY SMOKING HOT, I just finish reading this box set, and let me tell you I love every single book in this box, and love the characters and how they turn out to be, I'm writing this a little different since I read each book one after the other, this box set have Ten different short story, writing by Ten talented Authors, I have to say that this Box set made me angry, cried, and laugh. And I love every single minute of it, I wish I could tell you more about it, but you have to read it, and the sex scene are hot, but what can I say I love to read anything that has to do with Chelsea Cameron, Cat Mason, Bijou Hunter, since I have read other book by them, and now I'm a fan of the rest of the Authors.
I really love and enjoy reading this Box Set, and cant wait to read more from each of this Authors, THANK YOU for introducing me to this AWESOME,AMAZING Box Set and Characters love them.
First, I'd like to say that this book set has a variety that had me wanting more. With the various Authors and different writing styles you get to have samples, so that you can explore into stories that fit your likes. I liked them all, some more then others. The characters were likable. Stories are all well written. Some will make you laugh and some will make you cry. I was able to read from Authors, that i am familiar with and found new Authors to further my reading experiences.
Don't be put off by the size of this little book because it comes bringing a punch.... I devoured this in very short time....
It was jam packed with action, drama, and red hot passion.... I honestly don't want to give anything away but Adam and Ainsley.... will have you loving them within pages.... and their story will keep you gripped.... But I do wish I had more though.... more details, more drama, more action and more sex.....
I'm excited to see more of this serial in the future.....
I was given an ARC of Laramie Briscoe's story, Rough Patch. First, I have to admit I fangirl pretty hard for anything she writes. This is no exception. It was cute and had just enough of all the things I've come to expect from the HH series, relationship drama, mentions of the rest of the club, hot sex and romance and a hint of danger. My only complaint, of course, is that it's only a novella...it's too short!
A really enjoyable collection of stories, I have not actually read books by any of these authors, apart from the fabulous Cat Mason, and she was the reason I bought this box set. I really loved her story unhinged, which as usual made me laugh, cry and get very hot! As for the other stories, I really enjoyed Rescuing the bridesmaid, and Defending her patch, and will certainly be looking out for other books by those authors.
I won't lie. I totally bought this anthology purely for the Laramie and Bijou submissions. Two Laramie books and a Bijou book for $.99? Heck Yes! I've never read anything by the other authors, but I will eventually go back and read those.
However, I love Laramie and Bijou's books... to be expected!
This was a fun collection of short stories. I really like the blue collar men theme. Unhinged by Cat Mason (Construction Worker) was probably my favorite of the bunch.
I recevied this boxed set from the author for an honest review. I am reviewing Heath by Chelsea Camaron and Unhinged by Cat Mason.
Heath - OMG !! I was super excited to read this novella since I fell in love with Mav in the other anthology Chelsea was in. Heath is a buddy and fell oil rigger friend of Mav. SO our boy Heath has some inner demons and well I expected a hottie little cocktail waitress to tame this beast. UHM YEAH NO!! That so did not happen. When I started to read "Annies" story I. WAS. A. HOT. MESS!! This girls life is sooooo tragic. I even messaged Chelsea and was like "What are you doing to me?? This journey is killing me!!!" Of course Chelsea was like "what? huh??" *Shakes finger* I will talk to you later about this young lady!!
Ok you wanna know Annie's story? Then read it because I cant even begin to get into the story and suffering she has endured since she was 15. TRAGIC and yet soooo true to life for some ladies *teary sigh* When Heath and Annie meet up it is under not normal circumstances. Heath is not so happy to be getting Annie and she is not happy to be gotten. Annie does alot of things before finally opening up to Heath about her truths...her life.
I loved the confrontation with Heath and the men from Annie's past. I loved the ending of the story. I cannot wait for more from these two and would love to have the story expanded upon because this novella could be sooo much more!!!
Unhinged -
SHEW!! I love me some Cat Mason. Her rocker series are an automatic buy for me. So When I saw her novella in this boxed set, I was thrilled. This story is the "one who got away" or the "rich girl and the bad boy" story. Ainsley and Adam were from different sides of the tracks. They had the young love but are broken up. After she returns from college and is forced into her "society life" she runs into Adam. The chemistry is still there but each hate the other for "what they did".
As the story unfolds we see the nasty side to family money and family ties. I loved Ainsley and the fact that she may have been pushed around but then realizes she will not be a puppet. She stand up for herself which makes mommy and daddy none to thriled. Once she finally runs into Adam, they have a moment of clarity. Alot of "getting to know ya again' happens when all of the family secrets begin to spill!!
I am so glad I was able to grab this anthology while it was still available. There is nothing hotter to me than a blue collar man...he works with his hands, he's not afraid to get down and dirty on the job and he's tough as can be...all the things I find extremely sexy in a man. This anthology, with stories by several of my favorite authors has something for everyone...what a treat! Unfortunately it is not for sale anymore but I know Chelsea Camaron has just released Heath as a novella so that one is available to purchase on Amazon and possibly some of the other authors might do the same as well so you can read these hot little gems!
***** 5 ***** "blue colla definitely mad ME holla" stars
I really liked the characters encountered in this novella. Heath is so sweet and the charity that he and Wendol run is amazing and what he puts himself through to fund it is unreal. I loved seeing the growth of LoraLeigh while she lived with Heath. Watching her discover the fact that she was worthwhile and worthy of love was awesome. Another enjoyable story by Chelsea.
