Happy Independence Day America!
What is everyone doing on this beautiful day?
Mr. Man and I decided to grill steaks and potatoes tonight.
If you plan on celebrating the Fourth of July tonight, please be safe.

Today is Wednesday, meaning its that time of the week again. Time for me to recap how my week in reading has been with WWW Wednesday.

WWW Wednesday is a weekly book meme currently hosted by Sam @ Taking on a World of Words. Each week there are three questions to answer.

I’m just starting an advanced copy of Knuckle Down by Chantal Fernando. Knuckle Down is the second book in the Cursed Ravens MC series. I loved the first book (Ace of Hearts) and given the fact that I obsessed over Knuckle the entire time while reading the first book, I’m expecting to love this book even more.

Knuckle Down (The Cursed Ravens MC, #2)

Knuckle Down
(Cursed Ravens MC #2)

by: Chantal Fernando

BLURB:

A single father struggles to change for his daughters and the woman he loves in this second book in the Cursed Ravens Motorcycle Club series from New York Times bestselling author Chantal Fernando.

As a single father of two girls and the sergeant at arms for the Cursed Ravens Motorcycle Club, Jack “Knuckles” Chester doesn’t have much free time. And having earned his road name from his reputation as a fighter, Knuckles isn’t one to back away from a challenge.

But what he’ll never admit out loud is that his two daughters have changed him irrevocably, softened him even. And these two girls are the only women who will ever hold his heart forever. That is, until he meets the cousin of another biker’s old lady.

Celina is nothing like the women Knuckles used to date. She’s a journalist for the local newspaper, dresses well, and basically just has her life together. And the last thing she wants is to be involved with a Cursed Raven. But when the ripped, badass biker worms his way into her heart, she has trouble remembering all the reasons they would never work.

But when a scandal at her newspaper breaks the thin trust she has with Knuckles, will she walk away for good? Or will Knuckles fight to keep Celina in his life?

I just finished two novels in one day. The first novel I finished was an advanced copy of Broken Love Story by Natasha Madison. This was a great ending to the series.

Broken Love Story
(Love Story Series #3)

By: Natasha Madison

Blurb

Samantha:

I had the perfect life; a husband who loved me, and two kids who were my world.
Until someone else answered his phone and my perfect life shattered.
When he died, I was left with answers he couldn’t give me and a box full of lies.
He left me broken.

Blake:
I fell in love when I was fifteen, knowing she was the one.
For five years, she was my everything—my every breath, every heartbeat, every thought.
She made me promise to move on, promise to find love again, but I broke those promises because I can’t move on.

Two broken souls brought together by tragedy and heartbreak.
Can a broken love story be fixed?

I also just finished The Off-Season by Megan Green. The Off-Season was a cute read with an emotional twist. I couldn’t put this book down once I picked it up again!

The Off-Season
(Washington Rampage Series #1)

By: Megan Green

Blurb

He had it all…

The day Ian “Tag” Taggart’s world comes crashing down around him, he’s sitting in a fast food drive-thru, waiting for an order of fries. Golden boy of the MLB and shortstop for the Washington Rampage, Tag quickly finds himself losing grip on his superstar life with the use of two awful words: sexual assault.

The only problem? He’s innocent.

Tag’s willing to do anything to prove to the world he’d never commit the crime he’s been accused of. So when his agent suggests taking a break from the spotlight, he listens. The quiet town on Maple Lake is everything Seattle isn’t. And Lexi Barnes is everything he wasn’t expecting to find.

Running from a past she can never escape, Lexi wants nothing to do with her new neighbor. But fixing up an old house takes more work than anticipated, and the new guy in town happens to have quite the set of carpentry skills. She won’t let herself fall for him though. She has no room in her life for love.

If only someone would tell her heart that.

He’s funny and charming. She’s closed off and rude.

Together, they’re like fire and ice.

Prepare to get burned this Off-Season

Next on my list, I’m reading an advanced copy of Heart of Glass by Nicole Jacquelyn. This is the third book in the Fostering Love series. I’ve already read the first two books in the series so I’m expecting a great angsty read with this one such as the others. I cannot wait to dive into this one!

Trevor is suddenly in too deep. He has always wanted a family, but Etta and Morgan come with complications. Yet as Etta brings them closer together, Trevor begins to imagine giving Morgan and Etta the life his brother never could. But he wonders if Morgan will ever learn to trust another man with her heart, especially a man whose last name is Harris.

I also plan on reading Rogue by Katy Evans! I have been staring at my paperback on my shelf for the longest time and I’ve finally have time to read it! I cannot wait to get caught up in this world again!

Rogue (Real, #4)

Rogue
(Real Series #4)

By: Katy Evans

Blurb:

Greyson King…
My boyfriend. My friend. My protector. He’s the reason I wake up every morning with a smile on my face, and the reason I fall asleep limp, worn out, and aching for his warm arms around me. When we make love, he says my name like it means something. Like I mean something.
He
Lied.
His name is Greyson King, but his alias is Zero.
There’s zero trace of him, he has zero past, and now I know that with him, I will have zero future.
He may leave no trace of him anywhere, but his imprint is in me, in my very soul–and I hate that a mere look at him commands the beat of my heart. The temperature of my body.
I’ve looked for love my entire life. I’ve waited for the butterflies, the rainbows…
Instead I’m in a free fall of emotions and there’s no one to catch me but the one man I should be running away from. The one man I thought was my prince charming.
Except this prince charming went rogue.
Greyson will stop at nothing to make me be with him. He’ll let no one stand in our way, will allow no one to threaten me, and maybe this is what scares me most of all…
What will my rogue do to keep me?
