Better When He's Bad by Jay Crownover - 5 Stars - TOP RECOMMENDATION
There’s a difference between a bad boy and a boy who’s bad . . . meet Shane Baxter.
Sexy, dark, and dangerous, Bax isn’t just from the wrong side of the tracks, he is the wrong side of the tracks. A criminal, a thug, and a brawler, he’s the master of bad choices, until one such choice landed him in prison for five years. Now Bax is out and looking for answers, and he doesn’t care what he has to do or who he has to hurt to get them. But there’s a new player in the game, and she’s much too innocent, much too soft…and standing directly in his way.
Dovie Pryce knows all about living a hard life and the tough choices that come with it. She’s always tried to be good, tried to help others, and tried not to let the darkness pull her down. But the streets are fighting back, things have gone from bad to worse, and the only person who can help her is the scariest, sexiest, most complicated ex-con The Point has ever produced.
Bax terrifies her, awakening feelings she never thought she’d have for a guy like him. But it doesn’t take Dovie long to realize . . . some boys are just better when they’re bad.
First Book in Welcome To The Point Series. Can Be Read as STAND ALONE.

After her senior year of high school leaves behind nothing but heartache, Olivia Beaumont is sure of this: She’s no stupid girl. She sets out for Winston College, promising herself that she will remain focused on her first and only love – astronomy. But all it takes is cocky sophomore Brax Jenkins and an accidental collision with a football, to throw her entire year off course.
A quick-tempered Southie who escaped the inner city streets of Boston to pitch for Winston, Brax is known to play way more fields than just the baseball diamond. So, when his name is drawn to take part in his fraternity’s hazing dare, Brax eagerly accepts the mission to take Olivia’s virginity. But he doesn’t plan on falling hard for the sweet and sassy Texas girl who sees right through his bad-boy persona.
As Olivia and Brax battle their feelings for each other, echoes of the past year begin to surface. A boy who once turned Olivia’s whole world upside down reappears, and “harmless” pranks wreak havoc. Pretty soon the aspiring astronomer is on the verge of revealing her most difficult, heartbreaking secret. All the while, Brax must wrestle with the irrevocable dare, and Olivia struggles against all logic as she does the one thing only a stupid girl would do: fall in love.

Lock & Key by Cat Porter - Blog Tour, Book Review, Giveaway
Love not only stings when you lose it, when it’s ripped away,
but when it first sinks its teeth into you,
it can cut just as raw and sting just as deep.
I had forgotten that.
Fifteen years ago I had survived my Old Man’s murder
and swore to myself never again.
Never again surrender my heart.
Never again sacrifice to the Club.
At least that’s what I always believed.
Then I had to come home,
and my past and present blew up in my face
Who holds the keys to betrayal? To suspicion? To trust?
To brotherhood? To family?
To a bleeding heart?
Right now, I just might.
Some of us have to get really dirty before we can become truly clean.

To find two great love in one lifetime is not just luck,
but it’s definitely a blessing. Well, Grace deserves all the blessing in the
world after what she had been through. Fifteen years ago, she lost the love of
her life right before her very eyes. More than the wound she had sustained that
day, her heart was a painful mess in losing Dig, her husband. Her sister urge
her to move away from the only family she knew of, the MC.
After losing her Old Man, she told herself she’d never
come back, she’d protect her heart and she’d never sacrifice anything for the
club anymore. Fifteen years later and she’s back. Her sister Ruby needs her so
much that she needed to go back to her roots and the place that had caused her
an equal amount of happiness and excruciating pain.
The moment she steps foot in town, she had met Miller,
the sexy, brooding and hot guy who had caught her attention. She might have
spend one unforgettable night with him, but after seeing evidence of her past
in his body, she stays away from him as much as possible. But Miller would not
hear of it, he had been waiting for her forever. So the moment she came to the
club asking for help with her sister, he knew it was his second chance, and he
wasn’t going to waste it this time. Only the club has its plans, as the past
came back to haunt him. Between the club, Ruby’s impending doom, and Miller, Grace
has a lot on her plate.
What I love about this novel is the story about Grace’s
relationship with her sister Ruby. Despite all the painful reminder the place
gave her, she chose to go home to help and be with her sister. They didn’t have
a perfect relationship, but their love for each other is genuine. Ruby didn’t
have a perfect past either. She had been through the worse stuff, and just when
her life with her family is just starting, her world just fell apart.
It was quite a long read, but every page was worth it.
The steam was hot enough to scald, the suspense was killing me – I thought I got
it all figured out then something will come up or will be revealed and will
just surprise the heck out of you. Even the characters, I don’t know whom to
trust and whom not to. I was just hoping that after all this mess, after all the
pain, Grace will get her HEA. Despite the fact that this book has less blood,
less curse and less angst, it didn’t make it less hardcore for an MC Romance.

I'm
Cat Porter. I daydream all the time, 'what if' way too much, and am an
incurable romantic. And I don't want to be cured of any of those. Ever. I've
always loved to read, and always needed to write. I like to explore what bonds a man and a
woman together- the very small things and the sort of epic, the glory and the
mess. Oh yeah, plenty of crazy mess. Don't you think?
