Synopsis

What do you get when you put a happy-go-lucky hockey star, a controlling CEO, and a grumpy goalie together

One big mess.

They may be hockey’s Most Valuable Pack, but the Pierson alphas are far from a true team. The obvious solution? Find the right omega to bind them together. The match-making process sounds simple enough. Scientific, even. Until a sweet, shy omega runs right into their play for a mate, and changes the whole game.

***

Remi thought she was ready for a team of her own.

After growing up without a family, being passed over by foster parents, she always dreamed of finding her perfect pack. But when her big chance finally comes, it’s nothing like she imagined.

Could she really belong with this group of rough, rowdy, rude alphas? And, if she does, will they finally be the family that chooses her back?

Review


I received Knot Her Shot in return for an honest review from Happily Booked PR. 


I loved Remi right from the start she's just an amazing character and the more we got to know her pack the more I loved them too. They are all unique and each one brings a little something different to the pack that complements the whole. I loved that she had a little bond with each one that was something unique she shared with just them. I admit that Smith was my favorite he was rough around the edges but he was willing to grow. 


This is my first book by the author and I'm obsessed with her storytelling. I've been on a romance omegaverse kick recently and this one checked all my boxes. It was a captivating story that I had a hard time putting down and ended up devouring over 2 short days. The author did a beautiful job creating captivating characters that just stole my heart. I really felt that I was able to connect with Remi we are both bakers. 


While it is a standalone I highly recommend reading the first one in the series so that you can read Meg's story. I didn't but I wish I had. I've already got the first book on my kindle and plan to devour Meg's story next so I'll be ready for the next book in the series. Ari Wright has gone on my auto-buy list and now I need to read all her prior books as I loved this one so much. If you've not read her yet I highly recommend she's very talented at creating beautiful stories.

I never should’ve saved him that day. But now, he’s the one saving me…

Crusher gets under my skin in ways I never could’ve imagined. He’s been relentlessly pursuing me at every turn since the night I snuck out of his bed.

But none of that matters to the men who’ve taken me. Men who are dead set on revenge for something I had nothing to do with. They want payback against Crusher and the Satan’s Disciples, and what better way to get it than taking someone who belongs to the MC.

Only, I don’t belong to the Disciples and I don’t belong to Crusher. But that won’t do me any good while I try to escape this hellhole I’m currently in.

Maybe help is coming, and maybe it’s not. But I refuse to play the damsel in distress. This isn’t some fairytale, and I’m not waiting for a hot biker on a Harley to rescue me.

No, I’ll take my life into my own hands. And I’ll save my damn self even if I have to fight my way out of here.

AUTHOR BIO


I’m just a true southern girl, reading and writing books, asking you to love me! My books are extra steamy, contemporary romances, all with HEAs and no cliffhangers! They’re short, smutty, and tastefully trashy.

If you love over-protective, sexy, alpha book boyfriends who make you swoon and reach for your favorite… bookmark, then you’ve come to the right place.

When I’m not writing books or doing bookish things, I’m probably listening to music, designing smutty stickers, adding to my spectacular band t-shirt collection, or learning how to do something new like arm-knitting because I’m neurodivergent AF! And yes, I really do know how to knit with my arms.

RELEASE BLITZ - Rogue's Cross by Andi Rhodes & Lacy Rose




Title: Rogue's Cross
Series: Saints Purgatory MC #5
Authors: Andi Rhodes & Lacy Rose
Genre: MC Romance
Tropes: Workplace Romance/Opposites Attract
Release Date: April 26, 2024


BLURB

There isn’t a person in the world who hasn’t committed a sin. Some sins are worse than others, but seven of them are deadly. But those seven worst of the worst? They’re what drive Saints Purgatory MC to keep fighting.

Skye…
Life has never been easy for me. I struggled in school due to a learning disorder, and it earned me a relentless amount of teasing. It took years and a few false starts, but I finally got my crap together and started bartending at Purgatory. There isn’t a night without some sort of drama, which can be distracting for everyone. But working in a biker bar is bound to come with a little chaos.

I love it! Sure, it doesn’t hurt that one of the owners is sexy as hell, but he’s my boss and off-limits. Or is he? When money goes missing, all the evidence points directly at me. Accusations fly, and I’m fully prepared to walk out, but after hearing me out, he says he believes that I’m innocent.

Will his faith in me remain, or will he inevitably start believing all the vicious lies being told?

Rogue…
Before I was a patched member of Saints Purgatory MC, I was a certified public accountant. I put on a suit five days a week and worked until I was tired all the way to my bones. Life was boring and predictable, but I was good with numbers, and the salary was great.

Then my cousin came to me with a proposition I couldn’t pass up. I quit my job, joined the MC, and became their money guy. Boring and predictable were no longer words in my vocabulary. And that was even more true once she started working at the bar. She’s the best bartender we’ve ever had which is why I vow to prove her innocence when she’s accused of stealing cash.

Helping her becomes my sole focus, my reason for getting up in the morning, and it doesn’t take long before I’m doing whatever it takes to keep her in my life as more than a valued employee.

I am Saints Purgatory, and I’m a sinner who takes out the sinful.
