Geneva Powers had experienced one of the worst days of her career.

She played the corporate game every day for the past ten years and enjoyed the life she'd built. Straddling two worlds was never easy, but she'd done just that for many years. During the day, she was a mild-mannered financial guru in a world of suits. But in her free time, away from the clean-cut world of numbers, she was a Lady Guardian. Riding her bike in the open air with the hum of the engine underneath her, was the only time she felt free to be herself. Due to some underhanded dealings at her office, her two worlds were about to collide in a most glorious way.

Jamison Reed just wanted a good burger and a cold beer.

He was a war veteran, a businessman, and a biker all rolled into one. The night he caught sight of the beautiful woman walking into his favorite bar, all those labels fell to the side. At that moment, he was simply a man. A man who wanted to claim the woman who had a body made for loving. It was only supposed to be one night. Just enough to get her out of his system. That small taste of her wasn't enough and now he wants more. When danger comes to her doorstep, he knows there's no one else better to protect Geneva. His need to protect her was too great and he would let nothing come between him and his woman.

The characters I write will not be perfect. None of us are. They will make mistakes. All of the hero's will have redeeming qualities, but on the outset, you may not be their biggest fan. My heroine's will be the kind of women you want to hang out with. They're the women next door, down the street and around the corner. They are the ladies you would want to spend time with on a Saturday night drinking a martini.

I have been an avid reader of romance novels since the age of 14 and know what appeals to me as reader. My goal is, and will always be, to provide that same experience for the women and men who read my novellas and short stories.

I’m a former Marine and served for 8 years, so strong military men will always be a favorite topic of mine. I will continue to write stories with military heroes’ front and center. I’m also a fan of Alpha-males and strong women who love with everything they have.

During an emergency meeting the heroine's boss tries to throw her under the bus, she quickly proves that they need to look elsewhere for their scapegoat. Later, she unwinds at the local watering hole where she meets the very interested hero. They agree to a night of letting their bodies do the talking and no repeats. Of course, one night is NOT enough for the hero so he goes looking for heroine -- finds and keeps her safe from the hazards of her job. The mystery intrigued me even though the resolution of the mystery took place off the pages.

All they wanted was a one night stand

But what they got was so much more. They got everything they needed and more. Jamison Reed was attracted to Geneva Powers from the first time he saw her and was determined to claim her. Geneva, on the other hand, did not have time for
a man in her life with the way her boss threw her under the bus for some underhanded stuff he was doing. But the more time she spent with Reed, the more she wanted to be with him, even though she felt that their relationship was moving too fast for her. Geneva was the only woman Reed felt complete around. She was the only woman he had the need to protect when her life was threatened. She was the only woman he could get him to release his PTSD from his stint in the U.S. Army in Afghanistan. She was the only woman he was able to get a full nights sleep with in years.

Geneva could not understand why he wanted her because she definitely was not his type but he knew exactly what she needed and was determined to make her dickmatized to him because he was already addicted to her. All of her life she wanted a man like him but he came in a package that she was not expecting, but that did not matter. She was not turning him a loose either. They were claiming each other. He gave a boost to her womanly self-esteem. He showed her she could have it all. The man, the club, her bike, and mind-blowing sex.

Review:

"Lady Guardians: Forgiven" by Reana Malori

My Thoughts.....

What a pair these two were...Geneva and Jamison as they came together from their first meeting having lust from first sight. As it seems that Geneva was having some major problems on her job being threatened and harassed by the phone. Will this alpha man [Reed] be able to help her? With Jamison Reed being trained by the military I will say he would be the best to help with this situation however, he did have a past that was giving him some trouble trying to get over some pasted issues. With Geneva being a member of the Lady Guardians will she be willing to except help from Reed in finding the culprits? Well, to find out you will have to pick up "Lady Guardians: Forgiven" to see how well this author delivers it so well to the reader. It will definitely be a good storyline with high intensed moments, dual MC clubs, drama and let's not leave out the hot steamy spicy sex from these heroine and hero who brought out the best in each other.

The first page had me sitting up and paying attention and I didn't stop for the entire book! That's how good this story was. Geneva was a take no BS type of girl which we saw from page 1 and I loved it. She met her match in Reed when they had what they thought was a one night/weekend stand and matched each other move for move. I loved these two together. They had a grown folks type of love where they were honest, didn't hold back, called each other on their BS, and went after exactly what they want. All of that made for some very hot scenes between these two while they tried to make the best out of their circumstances. Reed was such an alpha and once he decided he wanted Geneva he loved hard but Geneva was definitely the perfect match for him. I really couldn't put this book down and am hoping Reana writes more about the other girls in the club. This was a fantastic read!

Liked the story but...

Loved th we characters of Reed and Geneva but considering both belonged to some kick-ass MCs,. there was little to no action except in the bedroom. So I was very disappointed. Even when the bad guys were found, the action moves to six months later with the narrator telling the reader what happened. A basic error in writing you 'show don't tell' particularly something as crucial as this. We had th e kiss ass heroine staying at home while the male goes off to do his thing. Though I liked the relationship between the two protagonists, I wanted more than just bedroom action from these supposed tough guys. Not your best, Ms Malori. Readers who like steamy Romance will enjoy this as that issues all it was. However, I have not given up on the Lady Guardians nor the author so will be reading the next book in the series.

Lady Guardians: Forgiven is the second release of the Lady Guardians motorcycle series. A dual motorcycle club interracial romance by author Reana Malori, two very different people who could not be more like-minded or more needing the other as Reed and Geneva. Reed a healthy alpha male meets Geneva one night and at first glance she had his attention. Geneva is a boss from the start of this story when faced with a situation. When Reed learns of the trouble that came to Geneva's front-door, he let her know no specific terms he was not going anywhere.

Can't wait to read the other Lady Guardians books. Although I am not sure how the title 'Forgiven' fits this story, I found it to be a good read.

Great Scott!!

This story was hot!! Jamison Reed and Geneva Powers met on one of the crappiest days of Geneva's days of her life. The heat and connection between them was instant and it shook them both to their core. Reed has some serious baggage and Geneva was leery of the strength of her feelings for this unknown man.

Problems from her job brought them together righted and showed them both that the other was their safe haven. Both belonged to motorcycle clubs and understood that some bonds can be deeper than blood ties and they could trust the other even though they had just met.

The flow of the story was smooth and the heat was 5 alarm . Great job Ms. Malori!

This book is part of the Lady Guardians Motor Cycle Club written by some very awesome writers and they are writing about lady bikers, if that doesn’t catch your eye then the stories sure will. This book by Reana Malori is about Geneva Powers who is a power house on her own but then she meets Jamison Reed and when I say the chemistry is hot…it’s hot. Geneva doesn’t hold back her punches and gives as much as she takes and so does Jamison so it’s no wonder these two could not leave each other alone. This was a very good story with a truly wonderful cast of characters. It was a fantastic read for me and I couldn’t put it down…was actually upset when it ended. Great job Reana Malori!

Geneva and Reed are fire together. This is a well written story of intrigue, love, lust, and deception. Both Geneva and Reed bring strength to the story and their relationship. Both are strong individuals who prefer not to lean on others. Events in Geneva's life make it necessary for her to lean on her support system, which suddenly includes Jamison Reed - who makes it clear that his presence isn't optional. Reed has just enough alpha and vulnerability to qualify him for Book Boyfriend status. I love a heroine that is a force, not just personality-wise, but in her professional life. Geneva fits that bill. Great Read!

Jesus Lord Have Mercy !!!!

What a hot story with two fantastic Alphas. The insatiable instant attraction between Jamison ( lord just saying the name gives me Chills) and Geveva was so hot, I felt it though my kindle. Their little one nightstand turned into something more. But can Geneva got over the fact not only does Reed wear a suite, he also wears his clubs. Reed boy what a Man what a mighty good man, wouldn't let anything deviate him for having his woman. "SWOON". With all that was coming Geneva way, Jamison stood by her side, and helped find the culprits. Reana Malori you put your heart and soul in this Romantic sexy Hot Read.

How did I missed this gem?

I love the Lady Guardian series! These women are such bad a****! I was shocked to find I missed quite a few books. And this was one.
Who knew that office shenanigans would lead to Geneva meeting her destiny named Jamison Reed. There was something about Reed that Geneva couldn't get out of her system. But drama with Geneva's boss would force Reed to go into protection mode. No one was gonna mess with his woman.
The drama, action, chemistry and steamy love scenes was definitely well worth the read.

From page one when you meet Geneva you realize this is a woman that won't take crap from anyone. Geneva's boss tries to set her up and after a day of dealing with his bs this motorcycle riding girl randomly runs into Reed in a bar. Reed takes one look at Geneva and decides that he wants her right then and there. This is a quick, steamy, and spicy read, as Reed and Geneva navigating a new relationship, dual MC clubs, and the drama that Geneva's boss has brought to her life.

😌🙂😕

A story with a whole lot of potential however, it seemed that the air was shocked right out of it. The story line is what I'm referencing, the plot was really intriguing, there was so much that could have been told. Yet, the entire spirit revolves around the couple having sex.
Maybe that serves a purpose with some readers but, not me.
In addition,,, there were way too many typos, and put sentence structure.

Lust At First Sight!

Jamison took one look at Geneva and fell into instant lust with her. Geneva took one look at Reed and started to have fantasies of her own. Reed had one night, and came back looking for more and more, staking his claim early, and he didn't look back afterwards because he just knew that she belonged to him.

I liked it. Both MCs were easy to like. There was an interesting mystery happening in the background as well. The reason I can’t rate this higher, is that we don’t see the climax. It’s told yo us after the fact in the epilogue. Also the mystery was interesting, but I wish we felt the danger a little more. Outside of the texts nothing actually happened to her.

Love at first sight

The was a great read of love at first sight. When Geneva goes to her favorite bars to let off steam after a horrible day at work she never expects to meet Reed. This story was a great read about the sisterhood & Brotherhood of the MC’s.

Book three finished!

I am loving the Lady Guardian books this far. Geneva was a smart woman. Loved how she stuck it to her crooked boss trying to put her at fault for missing millions. Reed was truly ALPHA and made just for her. On to Onyx Rides next.

Unmatched chemistry

I enjoyed reading about Geneva and Reed. Their chemistry was unmatched. Fate was good to her after all. They brought out the best in each other and allowed two lonely souls to connect and come alive like never before.

Good read

I'm really enjoying reading about the Lady Guardians. Geneva and Reed's story is no exception. I love the fact that they didn't breakup and be miserable only to get back together again. Reed knew from day one what he wanted and didn't hesitate to go after it.

Geneva was sharp which her boss wasn't expecting. He truly underestimated her. Reed came into her life right on time they both needed each other and had more in common then they thought. Loved it.
