Review by pearls
Ms. Havens has created a SciFi universe that is complete from the domestic to the technological, from the social to the political.  Her underground tunnel trains and ports run consistently true throughout all four books of the series.  And in the midst of all the battles and techno-babble, she finds the heart of the human spirit.  In a world of secret agents and double agents, where betrayal is a way of life, can the heart learn to trust and love?  Kindise's betrayals comes from all levels: friend and lover, physical, emotional and mental, political and at home.  And fighting for a cause requires passion.  Kindise could easily become bitter, and poisoned the cause.  The fall out with the men who love her increasing the potent infection.  Hers is not just a battle for the freedom of her people, it is for the freedom from the weight of betrayal to live and possibly love.  It is the power of the human spirit to forgive and to love and to learn to live again. The beginning of this novel is a bit confusing if you haven't been introduced to her universe yet, and she does refer to many characters that were introduced in previous novels.  The book's plot is self contained, though.

Review by pearls
This is a book I will read again and again.  I didn't even realize it was part of a series, so now I can't wait to read the others.  Declan was awesome before he went to war, but he gets even better.  And never understate the inner power of a quiet woman.  Maura is a truly understated hero.  Anne Elizabeth's writing made the story skip along at a nice pace, keeping everything in the realm of the possible, the real. Inspirational, romantic, action and intimacy--it's all there!

Fun Fact from Anne Elizabeth
 
Be present.
When you’re home—be home.
When you’re in combat—be in combat.
 
Excerpt
 
Master Chief Declan Swifton of SEAL Team Five rolled over the side of the Rigid-hulled Inflatable Boat and slid soundlessly into the Pacific Ocean. The RIB took off without even a comment from the operator, leaving Declan to sink farther into the drink.
The temperature cooled as he swam away from the surface. Fish skirted the edges of his thighs, small shimmers of movement against his skin. He scissor-kicked his way forward. The ocean currents caught him, dragging him in the direction they wanted to go, toward shore. He lay with his arms at his sides, frog-kicking only. Above him, he could see the afternoon sunlight glistening and frothy foam chasing away the glassy surface. Down here things were different…calmer. Peaceful, in a way few souls would understand, and yet he knew that even he would have to surface soon.
His lungs would start to ache and burn, his gut would begin to feel as if it would cave in, and that would force him to either head topside or drink in the salt water. But there was still time. This was the water in front of Imperial Beach and the apartment he lived in. He knew it very well.
Scanning the ocean floor, he gauged it would be about thirty seconds until he reached one of the many rocky sandbars out here. He’d have to pull up before then, or the force of the current would smack him against the side.
As his body began to complain, he used both arms and legs to draw himself upward. Breaking the surface, he opened his mouth and drew in air like a thirsty man would gulp water.
The waves bounced him like a buoy. The tide was coming in and the wind was picking up momentum. Looking at the sky to the east, he could see that there would most likely be a storm today. Over his should, to the west, he spied a wave coming his way large enough to take him to shore. It would reach him in about thirty seconds.
Dec took a long, slow breath and appreciated the sun dropping into the horizon. The colors were extraordinary; orange and gold dappled the horizon as the blazing ball of light attempted to sink before the moon lifted higher in the sky.
His hands flexed, cupping the water. It had been a hot day, and the sun’s rays had heated the top of the ocean, making the surface feel like a warm bath, loosening his muscles. Three months ago, he’d been in waters so frigid, with actual ice caps—the memory still made him cold. But here, the Pacific Ocean off California’s Imperial Beach, was a slice of heaven.
Coming in from the east were some nasty-looking cumulonimbus clouds. Seeing the lightning arc way off toward the distant desert, he decided it was time to go in, and right on cue, here came a perfect wave.
Swimming at top speed, Declan pushed his way through another changing current, one that sought to drag him into faster-moving waters. He went over a higher sandbar, having no intention of going to Mexico today, and increased the reach of his stroke. With single-mindedness he worked his way into the more placid surf as he homed in on a large stretch of beach.
The SEAL felt a few sea lions swimming around him, and one nosed him in the gut and another in his back a few times, assessing whether or not he’d play. Not this time, my friends. He continued swimming without engaging. If he stopped to play, he’d be out there for hours.
Switching to the breaststroke, his arms protested. His platoon had switched their training this month to desert-warfare techniques, and he’d been sweating his balls off in the heat. He managed to learn a thing or two, even now, after all of his years in the Teams. But it felt good to be back in the ocean, his element. He’d live in the deep blue like a Jules Verne character if he could.

The werewolf biker and the Princess: Bash trilogy

 
 
What do you get when you mix a bad-ass werewolf biker with a beautiful she-wolf who grew up as the MC President’s daughter?
 
Sparks.
 
The Bash trilogy…
Angelica was raised not only as a biker’s daughter, but as Bud’s daughter — the president of the Atlanta RTMC, which meant she also had dozens of ‘uncles’ who made sure she was safe, happy, loved, secure. Needless to say, her virginity was still solidly intact when she left for college, though not for long, once she was out from under her dad’s influence.

She’s a different person when she comes home with her Master’s degree, and in spite of her intention to remain a civilian, some of the bikers don’t seem so much like uncles, anymore.

The Chattanooga Rolling Thunder chapter welcomes her when she moves to town for her dream job, but things get rocky when Angelica starts dating the District Attorney.

Throw in problems with a rival gang, a hot FBI agent, some dirty cops, and her old friendship with Bash — and Angelica has her hands full, and then some.

Warning: Blazing hot sex, a touch of BDSM, tons of raw kink, and some unconventional ménage play along with danger, intrigue, and an abundance of bad-ass werewolf bikers who are used to getting their way.




Review by pearls

If you are looking for a strong, kick-ass heroine, Angelica is it.  She was raised to be Alpha in a world where women don't get that recognition.  Constantly underrated, she manages to control the chaos that surrounds her life.  That includes creating a relationship with the most Alpha of them all Bash.  While he may only be third in command, that is more due to his youth than his abilities.  And when his Princess (or any woman for that matter) is threatened, he makes them pay.  Together, they are an unstoppable force that both mortal and magical communities are growing to fear and respect.  I loved her strength, I loved the equality of their relationship.  I loved that they respected who one another was and didn't expect change.  I respect Bash a lot for working to overcome his relationship challenging behaviors.  This union is one to watch out for more of in the future.  Some will have a problem with the lack of a safeword.  But in this werewolf shifter world, Angelica needed someone who could truly dominate her Alpha wolf, and that is the only way she would have ever been satisfied, so I didn't have a problem.  And I can't wait to read best friend Dawg's story--such a great guy, there is definitely story there!
Volume 1 brings Angelica back from college and introduces her into the political and motorcycle world of Chattanooga.  Volume II really builds on their relationship and creates the escalates the conflict, ending on quite the cliffhanger. Volume III shows the union of the couple and how powerful they are.  Buy all three, as I read them in 1 day!

Heaven Sent, a motorcycle club romance






 
Heaven Sent
Heaven's Rejects MC, bk 1
by Avelyn Paige
a Motorcycle Club Romance
 



Bloody…broken…barely surviving…

Danae “Dani” Espinoza is on the run and desperate to escape the demons of her past. Plans to hide out in a sleepy Los Angeles suburb turn into a pipe dream as she is drawn into the secret filled world of the local motorcycle club. Dani soon learns that her secrets and lies are nothing compared to those kept behind the clubhouse doors. Trying to avoid the suspicious Vice President, she must keep a low profile in order to survive. The trouble is he has other ideas. 


Bike…babes…and booze…

Tyler "Hero" Tobias has simple needs. Being the Heaven's Rejects MC Vice President, he has all three at his disposal. But he has his own ghosts that keep him awake at night. When Dani arrives at the clubhouse, he knows he should stay away but there is something about her dark beauty and the mystery that surrounds her that makes him burn. There are secrets in her eyes and lies in her smile and he knows he should put his club first, but Hero’s heart and loyalty are about to be tested. 

Can an angel with blood-covered wings and the devil himself resist temptation or will they risk bringing hellfire down on everything that they love?








Cold. All I can feel is a deep chill blanketing my body. My eyes open to complete darkness as a voice calls to me. Its muffled tones send shivers down my spine with every garbled word. A sense of familiarity floats around me as its words become clearer.
“Run, Dani,” it pleas from beyond the black veil shrouding the room. “Escape while you can,” it continues. Panic courses through my veins. Where in the hell am I? Why can’t I see anything? The pleas go unanswered as my voice fails to render sound.

“Help!” I scream internally, “Please, fucking help me!”

The voice’s call fades with each word. “You need to get the hell out of here, Dani. You need to move. Find a wall and escape,” I coach to myself. A cold chill of air sweeps into the darkness encompassing me as I try to feel the place around me. My fingers plunge into a dense, sticky liquid as I crawl forward causing my body to slide with each movement. A hard surface is finally inching its way under my fingers.

Crawling upwards, I splay my hands against the cool wall. “You’re on your feet, Dani. The hardest part is over now. Time to find a door or a light switch, something to get us out of here,” my internal coach continues.

Keeping close to the wall, I finally find a switch. Flicking it upwards, the light shines brilliantly. As my eyes adjust to the light, my hands come into my vision. A scream barrels out of my throat when I see the sticky, red blood covering my hands and clothes. My heart races as I frantically wipe the blood away. Blood begins to pool at my feet, inching toward me. Rushing away from the blood, I fall backward into a solid, but warm obstacle. Before I can turn around, hands grasp my arms as a person’s hot breath trails down my neck.

“Hello, Dani,” a different voice whispers in my ear. “Welcome to Hell. You’re mine now,” the voice crackles as my body is pulled into black oblivion. 






Avelyn Paige is a born and raised Indiana girl. She may be a Hoosier by birth, but she’s a Boilermaker by choice! Avelyn lives in rural Indiana with her pastor husband, 2 spoiled cats, and one very odd looking dog. She’s an oncology research scientist by day and a writer and book review blogger by night. She enjoys reading anything she can get her hands, baking, and spending time with her friends and family. 

Never intending to ever write her own book, the idea behind the Damaged series came to her on a drive to work early one morning thinking about her father who’d recently passed away. His strength during his cancer and rare blood disease battle inspired Avelyn to do something she’s never thought about before. She’s excited to see where this wild ride takes her.
