I really enjoyed this collection, Crave was a very apt title, the men were delicious and very desirable, yes I admit some were easier to love than others, but an awesome collection of stories written by some of my favorite authors. If you have enjoyed other collections such as: QUESTIONABLE INTENTIONS: DARK & DANGEROUS MEN, Protect and Serve: Soldiers, Seals and Cops, or if you love the authors Ashely Rhodes, Kit Tunstell, Kristianna Sawyer, RE Saxton, Natasha Tanner & JB Duvane, Danielle Slater Roxy Sinclaire and the other authors in the series, then you will thoroughly enjoy this, because they are writing at their finest.
Below is a summary and review of each story, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did
I received an ARC for an honest and fair review
LAIN BLUE DEVILS MC BOOK ONE - Ashley Rhodes
Ella is a reporter for POUT magazine, she writes puff pieces despite these sore to be an investigative reporter, so when she is sent to write an idealistic piece about a motorcycle club Blue Devils, and especially its President Brock, she decides this is her chance to launch her career. Lain is Blue Devils VP, and he can't believe that Brock has asked a stuck up reporter to come and write about his club, and especially hates it that he has to baby sit her. When Brock fobs Ella off to Lain, they discover that sometimes things aren't what they seem, and there are other facts to take into account.
Lain and Ella were both enjoyable characters, both with preconceived ideas of how life should and would go. Ashley has done a fantastic job of making the readers connect with both of them. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and the bonus story just added to the awesome value of this book, but I must admit, for me I'm looking forward to the next installment in the Blue Devils MC series.
SENTINEL DEVIL RIDERS MC - Ashley Rhodes
Chrissy has had enough of her billionaire boyfriends abuse, and when she runs one night with barely the clothes on her back, she lives with the fear of him tracking her down. When she goes home to her parents, she is shocked and appalled by their attitude, and runs yet again. Chrissy enrolls in school, she starts to tutor Justine, but he just seems to want her, not to learn, and then there's her part time job, but when she is attacked at work with no support from her boss, not even a 911 call, she can't believe it, until she is offered a job at a bar by the man that helped save her, Rafe. It's not an easy choice, but she needs the money.
Rafe starts to think more and more about Chrissy, but he would have his whole Motorcycle Club after him if he did her wrong. When a woman turns up at the club making eyes at Rafe and leaving to go up to his room with him, Chrissy's heart breaks, then Justin comes to where she is attempting to blackmail her, and because she wants nothing but to protect everyone she's grown to care about, she does the only thing she can, she runs away. Rafe is heart broken, but he has a job to finish before he can search for her, but when he arrives, his heart isn't on the job, plus there is now an added danger that could destroy him in more ways than one
Rafe is definitely an endearing character, one I think every girl would like to have on her side. I loved the twist near the end, and they way the story ended was fantastic, another awesome way Ashley shows her talent.
Bad Patient: A Bad Boy Romance By Natasha Tanner & JB Duvane
Jess has been getting lectured about moping around the hospital she works on, but after the death of her husband, she just can't seem to move forward, despite how many people her friends keep setting her up with. When a guy comes into the ER with similar wounds to her late husband, it stirs something in Jess. Brody's been shot, all he wants is to get out of hospital, and hopefully keeps his rep, but with cops posted at his door, that's not looking good. Both of them are trapped by the bad choices they made. Brody asks Jess for help, but can she do it, and what will be the consequences if he's lying to her.
This was a well written story with many twists and turns that I didn't see coming
ENTITLED A BAD BOY ROMANCE by DANIELLE SLATER ROXY SINCLAIRE
Ayron is a therapist and life coach, working with people that have reached crisis points in their life. In one horrible day, everything she loves changes. Devlin is a workaholic, he is constantly working to make sure the family business stays successful, he is the maker and keeper of the money he doesn't see the point in letting loose, except when his best forces him. One chance meeting. One business proposal. Both their lives are changing in ways they don't want, both suffering through the consequences of their actions.
Wow I loved this story. I laughed, cried and went through the whole emotions. Danielle and Roxy have done an awesome job of creating two characters that are so real you feel you know them. I loved reading this story and look forward to reading more of the writing.
Fighter: A Stepbrother Romance by Kristianna Sawyer (Kit Tunstall)
Paxton is one of the most conceited men around, but being sort of famous and having groupies can do that to a person. When he comes home after frantic call, Paxton didn't expect to be turned on by what once was a little girl, but now a hot woman, his step sister Mia. Mia's always worried about Paxton since she was told he was doing drugs when he ran away by her Dad. She's attracted to him, she wants to help him, but she needs to get past his wall, the secrets he hides.
Well what can I say, Kit has done it again, this was different to what I thought initially, (no I never read the blurb), but wow, a hard hitting story with a lot if passion and compassion.
Negotiation: A Mafia Love Story (book 1)by R.E. Saxton
Sarah tries to work out a way to get her brother out of debt to the Mob after he stole from them, but when she offers herself as payment, she doesn't realize what she's got herself into. When Roman meets Sarah, he can hardly believe her offer to get her scumbag brother, Robbie, out of trouble. But as the time goes by, things change, Roman doesn't like the way she makes him feel, and Sarah is keeping secrets about Robbie, something that could get them both killed.
I must admit I had read Acquisition (book 2) first, and I loved it, just as I loved this. Kit has become one of my favorite story tellers, with her different styles, yes this is one of the darker styles, but her awesome skills at describing emotions, feelings and making the reader connect is what makes her books so pleasurable to read. If you've liked any books by RE Saxton, Kristianna Sawyer and Kit Tunstell, you won't be let down.
RESCUE ME: A BAD BOY MILITARY ROMANCE BY VESPER VAUGHN
Ella has a boyfriend, he's hot, a doctor, and his family is loaded, what else could a girl want? A man that doesn't control her would be nice. Add on to the mix she hasn't received her acceptance letter for what hospital she'll be going to is in a loan forgiveness program, so Ella's one stressed out girl. When she breaks up with him, he's not a happy man, but her stress level drops. When the letter arrives, it's sending her to the last place she ever wanted to go...home. Luke has lived the same girl since he was seventeen, but things didn't work out, but all he wants is her, he pretends the women he's with are her, but nothing takes away the pain of not having her. Until the day he finds out she's coming back to Buxwell, now he just has to work out how to win her back.
A sweet story about how true love doesn't always go the way you plan, and some secrets you keep will hurt others. This is the first book I've read by Vesper, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I'll be definitely be reading more.
Sons of Flame MC -Redemption By Ashley Rhodes
All Eli has to do is this one last job with the Sons of Flame and he'll be home free, but when does anything ever go as planned, no Eli couldn't be that lucky.
Tess loves her job, well in theory, but unfortunately those she works with don't really care about themselves, they all have that look that says who cares, no one. That is until she is thrown Eli, a case load she doesn't want, but there's some thing different there.
When their lives are thrown together, each must decide who is really trustworthy after all.
When I started this book I wasn't sure what I'd think, but I actually really enjoyed the way it unfolded, that sometimes despite the 'lust' you can see through to the hurt and pain. I I enjoyed both the story and the characters, and this was the first of Ashley's books that I read, and has led me to read at least one of her books each month since.

*** Received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review ***
Lain-This is the story of Lain, the vice-president of the Blue Devils MC and Ella, a reporter for the Pout Magazine heart-felt love story with many twist and turns. Wonderful story!
Sentinel -The story was built really good and had a different amazing flow. This is the story of Chrissy and Rafe as well as the unusual eventful way they met. Great story!
Bad Patient- This story entails a situation which was considered a high risk for Jess Hernandez as a medical personnel going against her oath and legal license and the unusual event that leads to the meeting of Jess Hernandez and Brody Carmichael ( an assassin). Well worth the read!
Entitled-This is the story of Devlin Masters(CEO of his father's company) and Ayron ( certified psychologist), who was hired by Devlin's father to control his anger.
Negotiation-The author did an exceptional job with this novel and I love it. I connected very easily with the main character Sarah and Roman. The chemistry between these two was amazingly hot although, I thought Sarah went over the limitation of rescuing her brother Robbie because in lifestyle. An amazing story!
A wonderful set full of great author hard works, so get it, savor it, enjoy it...

Book 1 Lain Blue Devils MC #1
Fantastic read, with true to life characters and story. The language could be colorful, but that is all part of what real life bad boys are like.
Book 2: Sentinel
For personal safety most women would lean towards the Billionaire, and find to their dismay the assumed right of possession causes a man of money to become an obnoxious beast when he becomes jealous or is crossed.
Where the biker, perhaps, having power over life and death, through war experience, knows where the line to respect is and doesn’t need to cross it, to dominate or possess another.
Yes, this story has you falling in love with the bad boy and loathing the spoilt rich kids.
