Blog Tour: Steele: Into Your Heart by Rie Warren






Brodie Steele is a badass MC dude. Ashe Kingston is a sexy police officer with an attitude. Their bad blood runs deep. But after they hook up at a wild biker week, can they keep their pact? What happens at Bike Week stays at Bike Week. Yeah, right.

Riding out the rough years following a family tragedy, Brodie is still trying to put his life back together when he finds something he never expected with Ashe. She annoys the ever lovin’ hell out of him, and turns him on so much he can’t see straight. He keeps coming back for more.

Ashe isn’t just a hard-nosed police officer. And she wants no part of Brodie outside of their no-strings-attached fling. There’s no way he’s settling-down material but he’s hard to resist with his inked sleeves and rebellious ways, not to mention piercings in places that make Ashe melt. Brodie Steele is dangerous, delicious, and suddenly determined to have her.

If there’s anything more risky than laying his heart on the line for this sexy woman, it’s Ashe’s job. It puts her life in danger in a way he can’t possibly protect her from. Can their hot bond win out over the bad blood of years past? Or will Ashe be taken from Brodie before she lets him into her heart?






Love, love, love this book!!! O.M.G. It has a little bit of everything for everyone. If you haven't read the Carolina Bad Boys series yet, NOW is the time to start. Steele: Into Your Heart is book three in the series, so it isn't too late to catch up.

Rie Warren hooked me with Stone, at Your Service and her stories just keep getting better. Each book is infused with humor, witty dialogue, heart, steamy scenes, and hot alphas. I mean come on, who doesn't love an alpha. I surely do!

Brodie Steele is a bad ass biker with a heart of gold. He is loyal and protective. He thinks he hates Ashe Kingston for arresting his sister, but... Bike week changes his view of her when they agree to a no strings, no contact afterwards week. Of course they become addicted to each other.

But Ashe is keeping a big secret that causes her to keep pushing Brodie away. He finally has enough of the push and pull from her and he lays down his rules for their relationship. I absolutely love these two together. Both characters are really strong and independent, but passionate and caring at the same time. They compliment each other nicely.

Not surprisingly, I found myself laughing out loud several times. The author pulled me into the story, into the scenes, and made me feel as if I was there. Conversely, there were parts that made me cry. There were some really emotional parts. This is just some damn good storytelling and I can't wait to read Rie Warren's next one!



We found a nice side-by-side spot for our bikes, and I slid off mine. Before Ashe got off her bitchin’ black Triumph, I grasped her face between my palms. Leaning down, I sealed my mouth to hers. Warm, soft, and pliable, her lips opened at my lick. A deep tangle of tongues trailed from her mouth into mine, and we made out in the parking lot for good long while.
I unclasped her helmet as I took another slow taste of her mouth. Sleek and soft, wet and hot, Ashe met me with strong lunges of her own. Her head slanted beneath my fingertips. The new angle and hot dart of her tongue made me delirious.
She gripped my arms, spread her thighs, and hooked her boots behind my legs.
When my hard cock hit the juncture of her leathers, she broke off, moaning, “Oh, God, Brodie.”
Make her moan my name before her boots hit the pavement? Consider it done.
I straightened up and held my hand out to her. “Can’t wait to hear you say that when you’re naked.”
“Did I say evil?” She placed her palm in mine. “I meant evil incarnate. You’re a teasing bastard, aren’t you?”
“Little bit.”
“Looks like a lot more than a little bit.” She stared at the straining bulge inside my pants. The seams were about to burst open, even more so with her appreciative glance.
“Got that right.” I felt smug as shit as I wrapped an arm around her waist, guiding her to the hotel.
I was less than thrilled with the jackass in the monkey suit at the reception desk.
If the dude in the ugly maroon jacket with the “Hi, My Name is Ed” nametag didn’t stop staring at Ashe’s tits, he was gonna make real good friends with my fists. Then we could call him “Dead Ed”. Lucky for him, he handed over the room key at the same time Ashe drove her hand into my back pocket to grab my ass.
Better.
The pimply teenager valet-dude offered to take my two bags up on the wheely cart—probably looking for another fifty tip.
“I got this one, braw. But good effort. I like it.”
He grinned at me.
While we waited for the elevator, Ashe narrowed her eyes at me. “So you’re really a big softie.”
I leaned against the wall, crossed my arms, and stared at her through lowered eyelashes. A smile curled my lips. “Not sure who you’re callin’ soft.”
Her gaze darted to the obvious hard formation of my cock.
“My bad.” She tucked her pretty pink lip between her lips.
The elevator dinged, the door opened, and I grabbed her hand to pull her inside. “About to be very bad.”
As soon as the doors closed us inside the empty car, I hit the stop button. Ashe’s eyes flared silver and wide when I cornered her. I dragged my hands through the blonde hair she’d streaked in flirtatious pink, gripping it at the base of her neck. With one yank, I bared her throat. Her breasts swelled against my chest, and I bent to suckle the long column of her neck.
“Your goatee tickles.” She shivered.
“Good or bad?”
She rubbed my short whiskers with her hand. “Good.”
I sucked her skin hard, making sure to leave a mark on her neck. “Just good?”
“Really good!” Her voice rose. “Ahhh, really, really good.”
“Just wait until you feel it against your cunt,” I whispered in her ear.
Ashe rolled her hips forward to hit mine. She dug her fingers into my ass.
I cupped my hand against her mound. Her heat invaded my skin but too much fucking fabric was in my way to do her right.
“Fuck. Why aren’t you wearing a skirt?”
“Don’t do skirts.”
I ripped open the buttons on her pants and slid my fingers inside. A soft little trail of curls led to her plump wet lips.
Nice.
“A skirt would be easier.” Slipping two fingers into her tight heat, I grinded the heel of my palm against her clit.

Blog Tour: Meant for Me by L.P. Dover





After a night of raw passion with the man Claire O’Briene had been secretly admiring for years, she thought their time together had come once and for all. Fate had finally brought them back to each other, but unfortunately nothing had changed. He was still the same man who ran away from relationships. Against his better judgment, Mason Bradley gave in to the temptation and allowed himself one night with the one woman he’d been too afraid to want … too afraid to need. 

Six months after leaving Claire and regretting every minute of it, Mason gets called in for an undercover mission that’s not only dangerous, but brings back a past he spent years trying to forget. A past of fighting … of getting in the ring and using his fists to get what he wanted: money, women, and drugs. Now there are fighters turning up dead, and it’s Mason’s job to find out the truth. 

Knowing he might not come out of the mission alive, Mason seeks out Claire to tell her how he truly feels, only to find another man competing for her love as well. Fighting is what he’s good at, and for once he will be fighting not only for justice … but for love.





Meant for Me is book 3 in the Second Chances series. I have not read the first two, but each book can be read as a standalone. That being said, I wish I would have read the other two first, only because we meet the main characters Mason and Claire in the other books. The author does a really good job at letting us know their background and their past interactions with each other, so I didn’t really feel like I missed a lot. I personally just like knowing their history personally.

Mason and Claire were previously in love, but he was in denial about it. She lives in California and owns a vineyard with Mason' s cousin Melissa. They know each other through her. They finally give in to a night of love making, but he leaves the next day to go home to North Carolina breaking things off with Claire and breaking her heart. Fast forward several months....

Mason is a former MMA fighter turned cop. There is a string of MMA murders in Las Vegas and Mason is asked to go undercover to help solve the case. Before he goes, he wants to set things right with Claire in case he doesn't make it out. She follows him to Vegas and helps in get an “in,” because she used to live and work there and has connections. The two repair their relationship while they try to solve the case. Their love is strong, but can it survive a killer?

I think the author did a wonderful job weaving the story of Claire and Mason. The love the two have for each other is strong and tangible. Mason is determined to win her back, and once he does, he keeps showing her his love. Claire is a very strong woman. From my understanding, crap went down in another book with her brother, but she came out on top. I love that she doesn't back down, fights for what she wants, but is rational and willing to compromise. I enjoyed the secondary character a lot as well. These are all well thought out characters.

The beginning of the book was fairly slow for me, and I didn't really get into it until around 50%. I don't know what it was, but for the first half of the book, while I enjoyed the characters, I just didn't connect. But for the 2nd half, something clicked for me and I did feel that connection. I could not put the book down after that. I enjoyed the author’s writing and I'm curious how the other books when down. So, I guess I'll be picking up the first 2 books of the series in order I can get a better understanding of the characters and their stories. This is definitely a series that I will be following.




The door to the arena room was open, and the moment we stepped in Claire gasped and I stared, wide-eyed at all the people. "Holy shit," I breathed in awe. "It's packed." 


Every single chair around the cage was occupied and there were people standing around everywhere. There were two guys already in the cage battling it out, except they looked to be part of the Lightweight division. When I fought several years ago, I was competing for the Heavyweight title. If they did fights in order of division then I would be going up there last."Hey, guys," Tyler exclaimed, carrying a beer in his hands. 
Disapprovingly, I glared at the beer and then back up to him. "You should know better than to get drunk before a fight. It makes you sloppy," I scolded him. 


I really didn't care either way what he did, but I knew better than to drink when I had to compete. Tyler chugged his beer and threw his cup in the trash a little too roughly. 


"I do know better than to drink when I have to fight, but unfortunately, I'm not fighting tonight," he announced. 


"Wait, what?" Claire cut in. "What do you mean you're not fighting? If you're not the one fighting Mason then who is?" 


Tyler glanced around the room with narrowed eyes until he found the person I was to fight and pointed to him. "That's the guy over there with the blue mohawk. I think you might know him. He said he owed you for something you did a long time ago. Care to explain," Tyler inquired curiously. 


Following the direction of Ty's pointed finger, I groaned when I saw the guy with the blue mohawk. Fuck, I knew who he was, or better yet, I knew his wife ... very well. 


"What is it Mason?" Claire asked worriedly. "Who is he?"


His name was Chase Benfield and I did the unthinkable by fucking his wife. Blowing out a frustrated breath, I lowered my head and began to explain, "Do you remember when I mentioned I had a dark past?"


"Yeah," she said, drawling out the word. "Let me guess, you fought him back in the day?"


I nodded. "Yes, but that wasn't just it." I didn't want to tell her what I did because I was ashamed of the way I acted and the way I did things. I was sure she would understand, hopefully, but I didn't want her thinking less of me.


Claire let go of my hand and crossed her arms over her chest defiantly. "Dammit, just tell me already. You did this same shit to me when I was keeping something from you."


"Fine," I gave in, "but I need you to know it was a long time ago and it was before I even met you. I was stupid and did lots of stupid things that I shouldn't have."


She rolled her eyes. "Let me guess, you slept with his girlfriend," she guessed blandly.


Sighing, I regretfully nodded my head and waited for the angry words to come spewing out of her mouth. Instead, she said, "So, what's the big deal? You slept with her. That shit happens all the time. Why would he be angry about that still?"


"Well," I began, "it was actually his wife and I hooked up with her in my prepping room during his fight for a spot at the Heavyweight title. His trainer had come looking for her and found us. Needless to say, word got back to Chase awfully fast."


Claire groaned and hung her head. "Oh, hell, this isn't going to be good."


Chase finally spotted me from across the room and snarled his lip. No, I thought to myself, this definitely wasn't going to be good.
