Product Information

Mayhem was smoky and smelled faintly of piss and not so faintly of beer. The place was old, with stained bars and scuffed hardwood floors that had seen better decades. Pool tables were set up on the far side of the bar that smelled like... yep, that was pot. I was pretty sure—only about ninety-nine percent sure—smoking was illegal inside but I definitely wasn't going to complain to the abundance of tattooed and leather-vested men that mobbed the floor. This single parent is fighting an uphill battle with a new house and two little boys who came into her world in one of the most heartbreaking ways possible. She has published numerous critically acclaimed novels, including the Kulti series, and The Wall of Winnipeg and Me series. I am sooooo looking forward to reading more books from MZ- I don’t know why I was so afraid before 🤦🏻‍♀️😂😅. This man never did anything without a reason. And this reason had him resembling a mama bear. A really aggressive, possessive mama bear. Which said something because Dex was normally that way. I couldn't even sit around Mayhem without him or Sonny within ten feet.

Kulti is about soccer and follows Sal Casillas, a soccer player. Since she was a kid, she has been obsessed with a soccer player named Reiner Kulti. She loved watching him play and got the biggest crush on him. He was part of why she was so confident in becoming a soccer player. Years later, Sal becomes a professional player, and Kulti becomes her coach. So what do you do when the guy you worshiped as a kid becomes your coach? What do you do when he’s not at all that you expect when he’s the rudest, grumpiest? The consensus of the books is usually that this one everybody loves. Even if it’s not a top favorite for some people, most still love it. The kids in the book were who help out bringing the story together. You will not regret this one for sure. 7. Dear Aaron Her characters are imperfect, like in My Professor – many of them make mistakes in assumptions or judgments throughout the story – but they all come out better in the end because of it. She draws readers in with her witty and humorous stories like The Roommate, which feature modern characters dealing with the hilarious problems that come with moving out of your parent’s house into an adult world full of new experiences. I don’t know who you’re talking about.” It wasn’t like whatever man they were referring to had ‘Anger Issues’ tattooed on his forehead. I hadn’t even seen him yet.

Under Locke by Mariana Zapata Summary

After all the crap that I'd gone through today, there couldn't have been three better words to hear. Luther. What was the deal between him and his son Trip? Luther made a statement the he thought Dex was more his son rather than Trip. What is with this feeling? Why? We will probably never know... Somethings were left unresolved even in the epilogue and I really want to know what happened with Will. Fireworks zipped up my spine for so long I thought I’d melt into him, or at least melt around his girth.

His tongue traced the oval shape of my chin. "But I'm not a good man, and I'm gonna take everythin' you want to give me and everythin' you don't." It's also one of those books where she hates him, he acts like an asshole, sexual tension and then floodgates of mushy love. But you," his nostrils flared, "my sweet, sweet baby, have gotta be my favorite by far. I think you win first through one-hundredth place."

So having Sonny around, worrying about his friends getting too close or giving me looks that he didn't like, was strangely nice.

That earned him a laugh from me. Patience? Dex? Even after more than three years, that would still never be a term I'd use to describe him. And it probably never would. He'd started to lose his shit during our layover when Trip had called for instructions on how to set the alarm at the new bar. Following the success of One Night on the Island, Josie released follow-up novels like The Two Lives of Lydia Bird and One Day in December. This e-book is a work of fiction.

I loved it just as much as the first time I read it. It was just perfection! This is a slow burn but compared to other books by MZ, it was not that slow. Their first kiss was at 58% so that’s pretty early compared to her other books. I wasn’t complaining though 😮‍💨🤭 I adore Iris and Dex; I'm such a softie when it comes to a grumpy alpha male who falls hard and fast. Iris is such a strong character too, so she can put Dex in his place, with his grumpy self. This book have truly been a great surprise to me. Motorcycles Club are REALLY not my thing, and I REALLY don't have patience for neither Alpha Males and not so much to SUCH long books (unless it's a PNR with a longer world building) so this one - being so capturing and engaging was so NOT what I was expecting. Yeah Dex got on my nerves a few times and yeah, Iris could be a bit annoying with the worshiping of Dex's perfect body but truth be told, it simply didn't matter in the grand scheme of things. The book just held me on the edge of my seat and all those little things didn't bother me that much. Even Dex's behavior at the beginning, since I knew there's going to be some sort of redemption on his part, I looked for it from the start and saw not this horrible guy, but someone who has struggled all his life with his temper, a closed off man who doesn't know how to truly rely on others. Iris was everything he needed as well, someone to ground him. It was beautiful to see him change yet in a genuine way. He didn't become a whole different person, no, it was more realistic than that. Anyway, it was as good as I remembered. I’ve noticed things that escaped me before - or rather, I didn’t appreciate as much before. I was saying a million Hell Yes’es in my head while Iris was giving Dex some lessons in human interaction 101 lol.
