Blog Tour ~ Silver Bastard (Silver Valley #1) by Joanna Wylde

SYNOPSIS
First in the new Silver Valley series from the New York Times bestselling author of the Reapers Motorcycle Club Novels.
Fourteen months. For fourteen months, Puck Redhouse sat in a cell and kept his mouth shut, protecting the Silver Bastards MC from their enemies. Then he was free and it was time for his reward--full membership in the club, along with a party to celebrate. That's when he saw Becca Jones for the first time and set everything in motion. Before the night ended he'd violated his parole and stolen her away from everything she knew.

Five years. It was five years ago that Puck destroyed Becca and saved her all in one night. She's been terrified of him ever since, but she's even more terrified of the monsters he still protects her from... But Becca refuses to let fear control her. She's living her life and moving forward, until she gets a phone call from the past she can't ignore. She has to go back, and there's only one man she can trust to go with her--the ex-con biker who rescued her once before.

Puck will help her again, but this time it'll be on his terms. No more lies, no more tears, and no more holding back what he really wants...


EXCERPT
“What the fuck happened out here?” Danielle asked, her arm suddenly around my shoulders. I immediately felt better. Danielle and I balanced each other out perfectly—she was batshit crazy and insanely optimistic. Make that dangerously, recklessly optimistic.  As for me, I spent nearly all my time focused on staying sane and getting ahead. That didn’t leave much time for things like actually living my life.

We’d met each other our senior year of high school, when she’d offered to drive me back and forth to town in her shiny new Jeep Wrangler. This spared me from the horror of sharing a battered school bus with every hormonal teen living in the greater Callup  metropolitan area. After a particularly harrowing ride home in her car one night (long story short, it took us six hours to travel thirty miles and by the time we pulled into town, we had matching tattoos of chipmunks wearing scarves) I decided it was my job to keep her from accidentally killing herself.

In return, she pushed me to do fun things, reminding me at least once a week that I was only twenty-one and perhaps the fate of the universe didn’t literally rest on whether or not I balanced my checkbook to the penny. Along the way, she taught me how to do smoky eye makeup, how not to freak out when a guy asked me to dance, and how to “borrow” music off the Internet. (When I pointed out that “borrowing” music was stealing, she agreed and started using iTunes for her downloads. To finance this, she “borrowed” her dad’s credit card.)

“Well, apparently me and Blake no longer work here,” I said, leaning my head against her. “I don’t know if you’re fired or not.”

“Fuck that,” Danielle declared. “Eva can kiss my ass. If you’re out, I’m out.”

“You weren’t even part of it,” I protested.

“I don’t care. You’re a much better waitress than I am. If she fired you, no way I’d last there anyway. Let’s go get drunk!”

Blog Tour ~ Alec (Slater Brothers #2) by L.A. Casey

Synopsis
Keela Daley is the black sheep of her family. She has always come second to her younger cousin Micah. Even in the eyes of her mother, Micah shone bright, and Keela faded to black. Now, in adulthood, Micah is a bride-to-be and the spotlight is solely on her. Keela is a low priority…or so she thinks.


Alec Slater is a bachelor, never one to bed the same woman, or man, twice. He is a free agent who does what he pleases and answers to no one; that is until a fiery Irish redhead with a temper to match her hair colour knocks him on his arse. Literally.


She hates to admit it, but Keela needs a favour from the cocky Slater brother, a huge favour. She needs him to not only escort her to Micah’s wedding, but to also pose as her boyfriend. Alec agrees to help Keela, but has certain conditions for her to abide by. He wants her body and plans to have it before anyone can say I do.

What he doesn’t plan on is losing his heart as well as the possibility of losing his family when someone from his past threatens his future.


Alec owns Keela, and what Alec owns, Alec keeps.

“I’ve only known you for a few days you have already made an impression on me. Nobody has ever made an impression on me. You’ve worked your way under my skin and you’ve done this by pissing me off.”

After reading the first book in the series, Dominic, I was really looking forward to more. Not only are the Slater Brothers HOT, but if book one was any indication, the heroines they’re paired up will not be your typical heroines. If you’re anything like me, I love my heroines headstrong and know how to put the Heroes in place. If Keela was anything like Bronagh, I was going to love this story. But would the HOT brothers and snarky heroines be enough?

“I’m possessive with what is mine.” He moved his head up to my mouth before releasing it with a pop. “And until I say otherwise kitten, you’re mine.” 

Keela is desperate. Her cousin Micah is getting married and she needs a date to her wedding, but not just any date, she needs someone to play the loving and doting boyfriend.

Enter Alec Slater. He’s everything she doesn’t want to need: Sexy, cocky and arrogant. Yea. You know where this is going...

If you’ve read Dominic, we all got to know a little about Alec. He’s Dominic’s older, ex-escort, bisexual brother. As soon as he set his eyes on Keela, it was game on. But many problems arise while trying to woo Keela, including Keela herself and the past that consistently haunts him.

“Oh, I’m bettin’ there is a bad girl deep insider her somewhere. I’ll just have to use my fingers, mouth, and cock to bring her out to play.”

As much as wanted to love this book, I just couldn’t. I mean, it was good, but so many things bugged me. First off, it really took a while for the story to get going; yes, very slow moving. Second, OMG! I swear I got a case of blue balls waiting for <i>something</i> to happen. Thirdly (and this is huge) is that I had a hard time coming to terms with what Alec did. I’m sure if you read more reviews, they’ll mention what “did” is. No worries though, this book won’t deter me from wanting more Slater Brothers.
