Good Morning everyone and welcome back to another WWW Wednesday! This week I’ve been trying to catch up on my arc tbr and I’m happy that I actually set out and accomplished all my review deadlines and still found the time to slip a paperback in there. But we’ll get to that in a little bit.
If you’re new to WWW Wednesday, this is a weekly book meme hosted by Sam @ Taking on a World of Words. Each week we answer the three W’s.
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you plan on reading next?
Let’s get started.
I’m Currently Reading:
I picked back up my copy of Rider’s Revenge by Jamie Begley! I cannot put this book down. Honestly, when I first heard Rider and Jo were the romantic interests of this book, I had my doubts given Rider is a manipulator and Jo has a past full of traumatic shit. But the way the book is going, I’m surprised! I love it so far. I just started Chapter 8 so we shall see if my love for this book continues.
Rider’s Revenge

Revenge is a seven-letter word that isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s a word for those who have been wronged.
Jo Turner has been waiting five, long years to finally turn revenge into vengeance. Using Rider, the pretty-faced manwhore, is simply the price she is willing to pay to satiate her desire for revenge. Little does she know, she makes herself a target from the one thing Rider has sworn to give his life to protect—The Last Riders.
When you wake the soldier, be prepared for the consequences.
Rider is going to teach her a hard lesson: revenge is a double-edged sword … and it always cuts both ways.
I Recently Finished:
Since my last WWW Wednesday post, I finished three books! The first was an advanced copy of Pretty Reckless by LJ Shen. OhMYGod! This book was everything I never even begun to expect it being. I knew from reading previous books by LJ Shen that Penn would probably be a typical asshole and this would be a bully book. I didn’t plan for falling for these characters and feeling all they felt. My heart broke time and time again for Daria. But no matter what the situation, Penn was always stepped in and mended my pain. This book was EVERYTHING I never even knew I wanted! you can read my full review here!

We were supposed to be best friends
But turned out to be worst enemies…
Penn
They say revenge is a dish best served cold
I’d had four years to stew on what Daria Followhill did to me, and now my heart was completely iced.
I took her first kiss.
She took the only thing I loved.
I was poor.
She was rich.
The good thing about circumstances? They can change. Fast.
Now, I’m her parents’ latest shiny project.
Her housemate. Her tormentor. The captain of the rival football team she hates so much.
Yeah, baby girl, say it—I’m your foster brother.
There’s a price to pay for ruining the only good thing in my life, and she’s about to shell out some serious tears.
Daria Followhill thinks she is THE queen. I’m about to prove to her that she’s nothing but a spoiled princess.
Daria
Everyone loves a good old unapologetic punk.
But being a bitch? Oh, you get slammed for every snarky comment, cynical eye roll, and foot you put in your adversaries’ way.
The thing about stiletto heels is that they make a hell of a dent when you walk all over the people who try to hurt you.
In Penn Scully’s case, I pierced his heart until he bled out, then left it in a trash can on a bright summer day.
Four years ago, he asked me to save all my firsts for him.
Now he lives across the hall, and I want nothing more than to be his last everything.
His parting words when he gave me his heart were that nothing in this world is free.
Now? Now he is making me pay.
I also finished an advanced copy of Fighting For Our Forever by Heidi McLaughlin. I can’t even begin to explain how much I love this sweet world Heidi McLaughlin has created. What started off as a feel good romance with a little angst, quickly became an obsession. Ajay is a drummer in a rock band, but don’t get that twisted, this isn’t your typical rock star romance where the man is a womanizer and believes he’s gods gift to all women. No, Ajay Ballard has a heart of gold, and guilt a mile high and an ocean deep. You can read my full review here!

The members of Sinful Distraction are living their best life as they travel around the country on the heels of 4225 West’s sold-out tour. Unfortunately for drummer, Ajay Ballard, that means a stop at the county jail after he’s arrested for an outstanding warrant – one he didn’t even know about. With an overzealous judge, Ajay’s forced to hang out in his hometown longer than anticipated.
While the town folk aren’t exactly rolling out the red carpet for him, Quinn, Elle and the rest of Sinful Distraction are warmly welcomed into the fold.
Some never get over their first love while some just can’t erase the memories. Jameson Foster falls somewhere in the middle. She’s done her best to let the past stay in the past…until she’s forced to save the one man who ruined her.
I also read a paperback copy of Boys Of Brayshaw High by Meagan Brandy. This was the first book I read by this author. You can read my review here.

“Girls like you aren’t exactly welcomed at a place like this, so keep your head down and look the other way.”
Those were the exact words of my social worker when she dropped me in my newest hellhole, a place for “troubled teens”.
I didn’t listen, and now I’m on their radar.
They expect me to play along in their games of hierarchy, to fall in line in the social order they’ve deemed me fit.
Too bad for them, I don’t follow rules.
Too bad for me, they’re determined to make sure I do.
Inconceivably attractive and treated like kings…these are the boys of Brayshaw High.
And I’m the girl who got in their way.
What I’m Reading Next:
I have several advanced copies coming up on my tbr. I also want to complete a paperback this week so I can also stay on top of my paperback tbr. These are the books I plan on reading next.

Broke and desperate, Sugar Ryan has no use for arrogant, bad boy athletes . . . until she’s forced to bargain with the cockiest of them all.
If only he knew she was alive.
Her mission? Get on this hockey player’s radar any way possible.
Zack Morgan is the king of the ice and the bedroom—but nothing prepares him for the mystery girl who shows up everywhere he does—frat parties, his favorite bar, and finally his front door with an offer he can’t refuse. The only rule in her boyfriend bargain: no falling in love.
But after one (um, two) smoking-hot hookups, he’s done with pretending and vows to make their fake relationship real. Too bad she can’t trust a player with a reputation for breaking hearts.
Will this hockey star score his forever girl or will their Boyfriend Bargain end in heartbreak?

I’m not a hero. I’m a bad dude who’s done bad things. And the sooner she understands that, the better off we’ll be.
I’ve just got out of prison and I’m running from my MC, so my step-sister’s best friend has agreed to drive me across the country.
Summer’s my ride. That’s all. But she captivates me, and I don’t have a damn clue why. She’s a distraction I can’t afford.
Is it because I’ve been told she’s forbidden?
Is it because she’s preppy and freakin’ beautiful, so not a part of my world?
With every mile of our trip, every spark of connection, she seems to inch closer to me. The temptation is too much to resist.
But she has no idea just how dangerous life would be with me. I broke club rules. I betrayed my brothers to save a woman’s life. If the Red Dragons find us we’ll be in trouble. And if I give into my desires, she’ll be in deeper than she realises…
This is the first in the Red Dragon MC series featuring an addictive alpha biker. Guaranteed HEA, no cliffhangers and no cheating. Fans of Kristen Ashley, Joanna Wylde and Madeline Sheehan will fall in love.

Genre: Fighter Romance
Publisher: Forever
Publication Date: July 15th, 2014
Read Today: https://amzn.to/2VAcwex
Emily McCarthy is living in fear of a dark and dangerous past. A gifted mathematician, she is little more than a hollow, broken shell, trying desperately to make ends meet long enough to finish her degree.
Through an unlikely friendship with the aging, cantankerous owner of an old boxing gym, Em is thrown into the path of the most dangerous man that she has ever met.
Cormac “the Hurricane” O’Connell is cut, tattooed and dangerous. He is a lethal weapon with no safety and everyone is waiting for the misfire. He’s never been knocked out before, but when he meets Em he falls, HARD. Unlike any other girl he’s ever met, she doesn’t want anything from him. Just being around her makes him want to be a better person.
They are polar opposites who were never meant to find each other, but some things are just worth the fight.

I LOVED The Hurricane when I read it. You’re in for some fun there! I also just read Boyfriend Bargain. It was good. I hope you love both!
I remember reading The Hurricane a long time ago and loving it so I decided to give it a reread as a refresher for when I plan on reading The Aftermath and The Storm!
Sadly, I had to put this book on hold and try to catch up on my arc tbr 🙁
I miss my paperbacks already!
I read those two as well! So good! I wish there was another book.
