Title: Tameless
Author: Jess Gilmore
Genre: Erotic Romance
Release Date: June 28, 2015


For most of my teen years, I lived under the same roof with Wes Proctor.

He was a surfer. He was cocky and popular. Guys wanted to be him, girls wanted to be with him.

There were times I was attracted to him, and times I hated him. Wes had a caring, protective side, but also a strong self-destructive one.

When he left our house at 18, it was sudden, like he vanished, and I never knew what became of him. My parents never said. They didn’t allow his name to be spoken in the house.

Now he’s back, we’re seven years older, and we’ve been thrown together once again by the most unlikely of circumstances.

There’s a lot of baggage. There’s a major trust issue. There’s secrecy. 

And there’s sex. Amazingly hot sex.

He’s mature now and on the right track. His loud cockiness has turned to a quiet confidence. But Wes still might have that dark side. I don’t know.

In the span of just a few weeks our lives will be changed forever. We’ll find out there was always more between us, an unspoken and irresistible desire that is reignited all these years later. But all of that will be tested when it becomes clear there was more to what made him leave all those years ago, and Wes wasn’t the one with the worst secrets.

3.5 STARS

This is a tough review to write because it was a really a great book but the ending… it left so much unfinished and was so abrupt. Wes’s parents were killed when he was a kid and Dawn’s family took him in until he got into drugs and started acting out as a teen. They finally kicked him out when he was 18. Dawn and Wes haven’t seen each other in years until a chance encounter where neither one realizes who the other is. Dawn is in a relationship with a man she’s known forever and there isn’t any real chemistry there. She finally decides to leave him and try a relationship out with Wes. Then when she finds out her father took something that belongs to Wes and their bond becomes even stronger.

I really enjoyed how much the author managed to put into such a short read. I just can’t get past the ending though so I’m giving this one 3.5 stars. I hope there’s a second book so we can get the rest of the story.  









He sipped his beer and leaned forward, placing his arms on the table, looking very interested in what I was about to say.

“If you had asked me to guess who you’re dating now, his name wouldn’t have even dawned on me.”

I tilted my head and rolled my eyes. “Very funny.”

“Hey, I had to get at least one in there for old time’s sake.”

We were referring to him using the word “dawn” and how he used to tease me about it. When we were teenagers—fourteen, maybe—he would always try to work that word into a sentence. “Dawned on me.” “Darkest before the dawn.” Once, at the pool, he had a perfect opportunity to use “crack of dawn” when I got out of the pool quickly and the back of my bathing suit bottom slipped down slightly.

His favorite might have been “dusk til dawn” because sometimes he’d call me “Dusk” but never in front of anyone else. He used that one infrequently, saying there was a darker side to my good-girl personality. It annoyed me a little, but it grew on me, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t end up liking it. I was the good girl, never getting in trouble, and I think I wanted to believe there was a darker, more daring side to me. Wes somehow saw it back then, even though there was nothing between us. Now here he was, back after all these years, talking to me like he wanted to find out.

 photo FullWrapHTML_zps7uoxjitf.jpg Synopsis
Staci Jameson is independent to a fault. But after growing up in the shadow of an overprotective family, and being let down by the only person that promised to always be there for her, Staci locked away her heart and vowed only to rely on herself.
Until a tall dark and sexy-as-sin player reawakens something inside of her.
Kade Ford knows what some people will do in the name of love, and it isn't all hearts and flowers. It's the reason he isn't looking to settle down. Ever. Instead, he plays the field and never gets too close.
Until a tiny blonde firecracker barrels her way into his life and leaves him wanting more.
What starts as a one-night stand turned friends-with-benefits arrangement begins to blur into something neither of them saw coming?or wanted. And when secrets from their pasts catch up with them, the very thing that they are both running from might just be the thing that they need the most. Will Staci and Kade turn to each other or will they let their pasts define their future?
Sometimes two people don't just come together...they collide.
~ Excerpt ~
He looked at me and extended his hand. "We have to dance. Bride's orders."
I blew out an exasperated sigh, my hand hovering over his. Electricity literally snapped between us. "Well, if the bride says, then I guess I'll do as I'm told."
Kade's face cracked a smug smile, as if to say 'oh, you'll do as you’re told, all right,' and his hand curled around mine. The electricity ran up my arm, causing me to shudder.
Knock it off. I chastised myself for letting him get to me.
The other groomsmen found their bridesmaids, and we all made our way to the checkered dance floor. Livy looked so pleased with herself; I shot her a discreet scowl. She was the only person who knew about my brief history with Kade Ford, and that was only because she tricked it out of me after one too many tequilas last year.
Kade wrapped me in his strong arms and started swaying us to the music. "You look so damn fuckable in that dress."
My head snapped up to meet his hooded stare. He looked like he wanted to devour me. Shit, Jameson... PULL IT TOGETHER. I gave Kade my best fake smile and said, "Does that line actually work, Ford? Because I've heard better."
The smug smile he was wearing slowly transformed into a lazy grin only making him sexier—if that was possible. He dipped his head into the crook of my neck and whispered against my skin, "Maybe, but have you ever had better?"
The guy was a walking, talking jerk. I'd known some douches in my time, but Kade Ford was—and always would be—douche canoe number one. The kind of douche that left a mark, but a douche nonetheless.

About The Author

I grew up in Alabama and have always been an avid reader. I had a stack of those Little Golden Books and I can remember reading Three Little Kittens over and over and over again. It was my favorite.

Fast forward and the older I got the more in love with books I became. So, I'm admitting that I am a huge nerd. The only reading I don't like are those math word problems. And I'm okay with that because no one has ever asked me in real life... "If I give you two bananas and take away six apples, how long will it take the southbound train to collide with the northbound train if Johnny left his house at midnight?" It just doesn't happen.

So, yeah, books are my thing.

Oh and music. All kinds. Love.It.

Title: Raber Wolf Pack: Book One
Series: Raber Wolf Pack
Author: Ryan Michele
Genre: PNR/Shifter
Release Date: June 29, 2015


"There will come a time in our world when greed, power and wealth will overrule good judgement, and packs will be destroyed."

In the blink of an eye, everything can change, altering life as we know it forever. 

Zara was happy and carefree, until receiving her gift from the heavens. Her world tilts completely on its axis when she faces torture at the hands of a person meant to love her. Forced into a life of servitude, she's left only a shell of her former self.

Lifemates are a gift all their own. A powerful link that can’t be broken. 

Zara crosses paths with Xavier, Alpha of the Raber Pack, and the one time playboy finds himself drawn to the broken woman. As their connection flares to life, he grows determined to unleash the spitfire she hides within. 

Little does Xavier know that in finding Zara, he's ignited a flame that could destroy everyone’s lives…

4. 5 STARS

Zara was a happy teenager. Content to sneak away to parties while her dad was gone on business. After all, he was Alpha of the pack. What could possibly go wrong? After waking up in a cage, Zara realizes her father is not who she thought he was. Using her powers to overthrow other packs, her father becomes more obsessed with power. Resigned to never finding her mate, Zara believes her life will never be the same and happiness is a dream. One, day while she is with her father's enforcers, she catches sight of a tall, dark, and blue eyed dream and everything clicks into place. Xavier has searched for his mate with no luck until he realizes his mate is in the visitor's black windowed SUV. After making her escape with Xavier, Zara realizes for the first time, she can still hope and love. But Zara's father will not let her go without a fight. Will Zara loose her mate after just finding him?

The author does a good job with the story once the story gets going. The story had a "jerky" beginning that eventually smoothed out. We first meet Zara in her bedroom headed for a party and the next thing she is at a meeting with her father and a rival pack. It caused a "wait, what?" moment for me. As I kept reading I finally figured out what the beginning was all about. When I finished the book I was left with more questions than answers. There were quite a few holes in the story that never reached a conclusion. Maybe the answers lie in the rest of the series. We will see.









"Wow what a completely different shifter book. I loved every second of it." ~ Goodreads Reviewer

"I love me some sexy wolves, especially when the story is as fresh and unique as Ryan Michele's Raber Wolf Pack." ~ Goodreads Reviewer

"Can you say holy hell balls of hotness? Raber Wolf Pack: Book One was an absolutely amazing read! If you are looking for one hot, sexy as hell Alpha look no further than Michele's Xavier." ~ Goodreads Reviewer







Ryan Michele has a huge obsession with reading, which only came to life after her best friend said she had to read Twilight. After reading that series, her entire world changed in the blink of an eye. Not only was she sucked into new worlds and all of the wonderful words authors put down on paper, she felt the urge to begin to write down the characters that played inside of her head. In doing so, Safe was born. When she’s not reading or writing, she spends time taking care of her two children and her husband, enjoying the outdoors and laying in the sun.
