Happy Wednesday and welcome back to another WWW Wednesday post! 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?
Tis’ the season for stuffy noises and sore throats. My plan for this week is to wrap up my October ARC Tbr but with all the cold medicine pumping through my system I’m not sure how much reading I’ll be getting done. But here’s to hoping I’ll accomplish all of my weekly reading goals.
So Let’s Get Started!!
Yesterday I picked up a book that has been on my most anticipated release list and today I’m nearing the end of Gavin’s Song by Jamie Begley! This is the first book too Gavin and Ginny’s trilogy and holy hell is it an emotional roller coaster full of dark twists and turns. I do have to say, If you are new to Jamie Begley’s work I recommend you read The Last Rider’s series before diving into Gavin’s Song. You’ll get more out of this novel if you read those books first. If you’re looking for a sweet romance, this isn’t the novel for you. In fact, the first part doesn’t really include a romance element at all. This is the beginning we have all been waiting for!

Have you ever wondered what happens to two souls destined for each other before they even meet? Well, this is it…
Gavin had believed himself untouchable. There wasn’t an inch of his body that hadn’t been taught to eliminate any threat, both to himself and others, as a Navy SEAL. Not only had he been trained to be a warrior, but a strategist who could accomplish any mission that he was given…
Until the day he was blindsided by a brother with his own agenda and was forced to accept that everything he had believed in had been an illusion.
An illusion that he was capable of love.
An illusion of the woman who had kept him sane during his darkest days.
An illusion that The Last Riders would always have his back.
Now he was being forced to accept the man they had created. A man who didn’t care about anything or anyone, living a life without reason, joy, or peace. A soul so broken that it couldn’t be fixed, searching for the one reason to keep himself breathing.
How was he supposed to know it was a song?
Last week I finished reading four books. The first book I finished was Her Rough Ride by Heather Van Fleet. I liked this one, but it wasn’t a love for me. Her Rough Ride is the second book in the Red Dragons MC series. You can check out my review here!

These days they call me Slade. I’ve become a man, got tattooed and ripped to hell. My face bears the scars of all the fights I’ve seen. I’ve done real bad things. Things I thought I wasn’t capable of. But the club is at war, and I’ll do anything to protect my brothers. The last thing I need is to see her again…
Eight years ago, I got patched into the Red Dragon MC. I was damaged and my brothers fixed me, but I never told them it was because of a woman…
Sweet, beautiful Maya. The only girl I ever opened up to. And it won’t happen twice.
Why do I have to ride halfway across the country to pick her up? Because she’s the niece of our president. Eight years ago, she ran away. But now she has to come back for her own protection. And I’m the only brother who can be trusted to keep her safe.
This woman is my goddess. She’s also my curse.
I need to focus on getting her home. I have to keep my distance. But as soon as I see those curves, that smile, our eyes lock, and my gear box has other ideas. We’ve always had this unstoppable chemistry…
And she’s looking at me all kinds of ways.
Then I realise: the scars, the tats, the muscles. I look nothing like the boy she once knew and she doesn’t even recognise me. I could tell her who I am. Or I could have a little fun with her first…
I can handle her.
I also finished Reveal by K. Bromberg. Reveal is the second book in the Wicked Ways Duet. This was another roller coaster of a ride full of ups and downs, highs and lows. I loved seeing a more vulnerable side to Ryker. I also loved how Vaughn wasn’t a pushover when it came to making Ryker grovel for her forgiveness. This woman was hardcore. My review will be posted soon.

I play to win, and I won’t let anything—or anyone—get in the way of what I want.
The first time I met Vaughn Sanders, I knew I wanted her. Confident, intelligent, and downright sexy. I thought I knew how to play her game. I was ready and willing for the challenge. Little did I know she was full of secrets and surprises.
But so am I.
Charming a woman into my bed has never been my problem. It’s the relationship part that is. They want it. I don’t. But can you blame me? Broken marriages are how I make a living. Hell, no self-respecting man would let a woman own his thoughts, invade his dreams, and steal his heart. So how in the world has Vaughn done that to me?
I’ve fallen in love with her. There. I said it. But that acknowledgment comes with a heavy price.
Everything and everyone seem to be working against us, leaving us both to question whether what we have is worth the cost.
I’ll be damned if I go down without a fight.
I also finished an advanced copy of Hold On To Hope by A.L. Jackson! Evan and Frankie Leigh are two of my most favorite characters ever. So when I heard they were getting their own story I was over the moon excited! I entered this book with no expectations and I finished it with my heart feeling more full and happy than it’s ever felt, while reading, before. This story touched a place deep in my soul.

A best friends-to-lovers, stand-alone romance from New York Times Bestselling Author, A.L. Jackson . . .
Evan Bryant wasn’t your typical hero.
But he was mine.
Broken by the worlds’ standards, he was still the strongest boy I would ever know.
My best friend. The boy I’d given everything to. My heart, my body, and the promise of forever.
The day I’d needed him most, he walked away.
He left me shattered and questioning the love I’d thought we’d shared.
Three years later, I wasn’t prepared for him to return to Gingham Lakes.
It wouldn’t have mattered if he wasn’t the most beautiful man I’d ever seen.
My fingers still would have ached to caress his skin.
My body still would have begged to get lost in his touch.
And my heart . . . it would have always sung his name.
But time changes things. With it, secrets that could ruin everything.
Can we find a way to love again, or have the fears of our past stolen the hope of our forever . . .
And last but not least, I just finished an advanced copy of Tempt The Hookup by Natasha Madison! If you love the ‘Surprise! You’re a baby daddy.’ trope… Chances are you are going to really enjoy this one!

Eliahn
Getting pregnant after a booze cruise hookup was not what any parent wanted to hear, so I picked up my entire life and moved to Paris to start over. Six years later, I was ready to go home.
I was a single mom and the only thing I knew about my son’s dad was his name—Luca. I didn’t need to know anything else.
The universe had other ideas because on our second day back home, the man came crashing back into my life.
Luca
Attending a welcome back party for my boss’s daughter wasn’t how I wanted to spend my Sunday. But walking in and seeing my hookup from a cruise six years ago knocks me on my ass.
It was a weekend of fun and now I’m seeing a pair of eyes, identical to mine, staring right at me. The boy standing next to her is my son.
Now we’re living next door to each other and attempting to co-parent something that would be easy to do if the pull that brought us together wasn’t still there making things more complicated.
For six years she haunted my dreams, now she’s haunting my every waking moment.
I let her get away once, now I want to make her mine.
This time, permanently.
Only one thing left to do. I have to tempt the hookup.
