Upon deciding to relocate from Chicago to Biloxi Mississippi to be with his sister, Dash jumps on his Harley and makes the long journey south. His travels are soon interrupted by the likes of a sassy brunette on the side of the road with a flat tire. Offering to help her, Dash finds more than just a spare in the trunk of her car. He can’t help but offering his assistance to show her how to properly use those naughty toys stowed away in her car.

Just as she decides she’s ready to find a respectable man, a bad boy she can’t seem to resist rolls up and helps her change a flat tire. Everything about him has warning signs but she once again throws caution to the wind. But soon she learns the truth about the new guy in town. Can she push aside her disbelief and help him clear up his wrongs. Or will the threat of his past tear a hole in the very fabric they’ve woven together.

About the author

International Bestselling Author Taylor Dawn (formerly writing as C.D. Taylor) began writing as an item to check off her bucket list. She resides in the southernmost part of Illinois, right on the mighty Mississippi river. She enjoys the quiet country life with her husband, son and the many farm animals that make up the rest of the family. Deciding that farm life was just a little too mundane, Taylor began writing erotica and fantasy to liven things up, so far so good. Before starting her writing career, Taylor entered the field of cosmetology. When she isn't writing, she can usually be found sitting around a table making people laugh. She has always wanted to be a standup comic. She loves pulling practical jokes, dresses up in a costume every Halloween and believes that dancing is the key to a happy life (even if you aren't a good dancer). She believes that life shouldn't be taken too seriously, we will never get out alive anyway. More than anything, she is a kid at heart, she doesn't believe in bedtimes, eating everything on her plate, or having ice cream only for dessert. Her favorite quote is by Dr. Seuss..."Why fit in, when you were born to stand out."

**4 Bad Boy and Naughty Girl Stars**

Dash is a hot sexy biker bad boy, getting out of prison for a crime he committed, but shouldn’t have spent time for, and Brandi is a spitfire woman who attracts the wrong type of boys!

Although the character development was a little lacking for me, the overall storyline and plot was great. I laughed at so many parts and the interactions between Dash and Brandi, seriously the connection between the two was hilarious, and steamy.

Overall, I think it could use a little more description, but it was still a great quick read.

Five Bad Boy Stars! Dash is being released from prison for a crime he never meant to commit. He decides to relocate and along the way he decides to help a beautiful woman who is stranded on the road. Brandi is tired of dating bad boys and has made the decision to look for a good man for a change. When Brandi meets Dash she decides to rethink her decision and consider maybe he can convince her against changing her mind. What will happen when Brandi finds out the truth about Dash's past? Ms. Dawn does a great job with this story and again I found myself hooked from the start. The book had me laughing and swooning throughout the story. I loved the characters and their chemistry. This is the third book in the Magnolia Series but can be read as a stand-alone novel. Highly recommend!

Well this one had a bit of everything I like in a good read lately. Dash is a bad boy ex-MC, Dom in the bedroom and when him and Brandi get together there is enough passion thrown in that you might need a fan to cool down. Knew Brandi’s story would be good from the first book. Such a fun character that you knew she’d need a strong force to spar with and Dash has that in spades.

Chance brought them together and here’s hoping nothing tears them apart. They are clearly the others missing piece in every way. They can be themselves around each other and one things for sure Dash is making it very clear that all her inner desires are nothing to be ashamed of. In fact they are what brings them closer in the kinkiest of ways. Not that she’s really complaining once he gets his hands on her. Great back and forth banter throughout and you clearly see the chemistry forming from the first meeting. When he stops to help fix her flat tyre its what he finds in her boot that gets him intrigued. Good job fate put them in each other’s paths again. Can’t wait to see what they get up to next. No matter how much they both protest about not wanting more, seems they might both need it.

Much more of a mix with all the others from the first two books and then introducing Liam was fun, lets see if he gets his own book soon. All I will say is that Brandi certainly had fun when Dash suggested something involving him. Threes company it seems, if only for a night.

Trouble brewing with Dash’s past though and it looks like its about to catch up with him. He went to prison but that’s not what’s following him. It’s his old connections to the Sons of Destiny MC. Seems they want him to take care of one final thing if he wants to be free. If he chooses not to then the people he cares about most will be in harms way. Something he won’t settle for. The choices he makes are to keep people safe but could also be the reason he gets pulled away. Lets hope our boys in blue have a few more tricks up their sleeves to fix this before the shit really hits the fan.

I received this copy of the book from Nell’s PR and Marketing for my honest review.

3.5 Crazy Ass Stars!!!

This was an okay read for me. I like the storyline and where it went. I did, however, find the characters to be lacking development wise. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the banter between Dash and Brandi. Their interactions had me laughing out loud a few times along with squirming in my seat. I just felt that their characters needed more.

MUST READ! I've reviewed this book for United Indie Book Blog. This is the third book in this series. I'm so completely in love with Taylor Dawns' books. I love the chemistry between Brandi and Dash. Brandi is a spitfire woman who attracts to the bad boys. While Dash is sexy, hot biker bad boy. This is a quick, easy read. I highly recommend this book. Torn Ends can be read as stand-alone, but I would recommend that you start from book one. You would absolutely love this series. Keep up the awesome work! Can't wait to read the next one in this series.

MC Romance. M/F with M/F/M scene

Brandi"Peaches" and Damon "Dash" Hunter have a ridiculous chemistry!!!
However, Brandi has sworn off bad boys. Especially this bad boy, whose brother crushed her heart once upon a time. Damon is a bad boy, and he's just got out of prison. To be honest? There is nothing "Boyish" about him. I'm a fan. He's a filthy, dirty talker and f****r. He knows how to say "I'm sorry", which is huge. He cares about Brandi's feelings.
Brandilynn,for some odd reason, is all caught up in dating a man her parents will approve of. She is desperate for some love it at least some approval. If she gives him a chance, Dash can give her that and more. So much more, including ménage more(wicked sexy.)
Brandi's efforts to avoid dating Dash are really funny. I laughed and at times was in disbelief of her gaul.
I really love the characters in this story, including Liam. They felt real. Well fleshed out. What I did have an issue with was the pacing of the story. After the midpoint, the delivery of the story lagged and then felt rushed at the end. I feel as though this was unfair to such well developed characters. Overall I enjoyed the story and wished for a smoother transition in the ending and epilogue

The last thing Dash thought he would run into after being released from prison was a sassy damsel in distress. Brandi is not having a good day, until of course a handsome biker comes to her rescue and changes her tire. As easy on the eyes he is, bad boys have been written off for Brandi. Will their chance meeting be just be a fluke or fate?

This is my confession: All in all this is a fast paced, good read with likable and witty character. You don't have to read the previous books in the series to fit in with this one. One thing that I didn't particularly care for was the pacing toward the end. It went from sluggish to done in a blink of the eye. At least, it felt that way to me.

I really enjoyed this book. It is a fast fun read, having read it in one sitting. Now I have not read the first two in this series but I plan to now. I don't feel that I lost too much having not read them. This storyline is well developed and so are the characters. The way Ms Dawn has written the characters makes the very believable and relatable. Dash is a bad boy that you just want to love and Brandi is the good girl that always goes for the bad boy. The sexual tension between them is Hot. One of my favorite parts in this book is when he saw what was in the trunk of her car. Made me laugh out loud. I recommend this read. I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

Dash.....sexy, biker, dirty talking, was recently released from prison.....yep that about covers it!

Brandi....good girl who has a knack for falling for a bad boy.

What do you get when you put these two together? Chemistry off the charts! The tension between these two heats it up!

If you're looking for a quick romantic read with some humor and a delicious dirty talking man, then this is the book for you! Taylor Dawn did a great job at keeping the reader entertained. Lots of sexy scenes as well some enjoyable laugh out loud moments.

This is my first book by Taylor Dawn and if I was at the beach and wanted a mindless read this would be the book for you. I needed more character developement and a steadier plotline to pull me in. All in all this book was just a 2.5 star for me. I just needed more and it never got there.
