About the Book
Two years ago, Cannel Crow experienced the worst day of her life. She was taken from a supermarket, and forced to spend a year with a man that treated her worse than a neglected, chained up dog.

One year later, she’s saved by a shadow organization that believes the law is a joke, and the only person you can count on is you.

After another year, she finally realizes the law’s limitation firsthand when the man that bought her from human traffickers, and then forced her to comply to his every whim for a year, is given a plea bargain for names of others in the operation.

Knowing that her abuser will spend the rest of his life in the lap of luxury under an assumed name, Cannel spirals.

At least, she begins to.

Then Wilhelm Schultz, call me Will, walks into her narrow world, larger than life, and changes her reality between one breath and the next.

The abrasive, larger, gruff police detective sees the world in black and white. There is right, and there is wrong. Until he falls for a woman that needs him to see shades of gray.

The second he sees the world like she needs him to, there’s not a single thing on the planet that’ll stop him from fighting for her.

Not even the oath he swore to protect and do no harm.

MY REVIEW
Cannel's been through something unimaginably horrific, so it's no wonder she's not exactly at ease around men, particularly large men. But then she meets Wilhelm (Will), a cop come to question her about one of her former patients. She has a reaction to him she hasn't had to a man in a long time, if ever. Now she knows he's the one who will help her get out there again, get her living again.


Will's reaction to Cannel surprises him. He had just been thinking about his partner and the feelings he thought he had had for her. Then he goes to question this gorgeous nurse and suddenly he's not even remembering his annoying partner. Cannel's on his mind, but he can tell that something horrible happened to her to put the terror he sees in her eyes. He'll have to go very slowly if he wants her in his life - something he's more than prepared to do.


Cannel's backstory is heartbreaking, but she survived and came out all the stronger for it, and that right there is the very best part of her story for me. I absolutely loved her. Will was the perfect partner for her - patient, gentle when necessary, solid, and seriously hot in the bedroom. Together they made for a great couple, and their story is emotionally layered, a bit suspenseful, and slow burn hot. This Madd CrossFit series is awesome - can't wait for its spinoff, Battle Crows MC.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...

Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings. Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay. Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...
