Romance Rewind: Wild Riders by Jaci Burton

In this edition of Romance Rewind we would like to introduce you to some extremely hot men.  They're all bad boys, reformed but not confined to a good boy mold.  They are now the Wild Riders, a somewhat secret group that takes on special assignments and some government work.  Oh and did I mention they're all hot bikers? The Wild Riders series is erotic romantic suspense and when I say erotic I mean turn on the air conditioner and get a tall glass of water because you might start sweating.  Hot, action packed, suspenseful.  If you haven't read them, you have to!


RIDING WILD
Wild Riders # 1
by Jaci Burton


He's a Harley-riding ex-thief...she's a gun-toting ex-socialite. Together they'll take the ride of a lifetime in this erotic romance from "an undoubted master."*

Mac Canfield was the last man Lily West expected to see again, never mind aim her gun at. But there he was, the bad boy who'd broken her heart years ago - still a thief, hijacking a priceless artifact - and it was all she could do to push aside the memories of how it felt to have his perfectly chiseled body next to hers.

Mac was no less shocked to see the beautiful girl next-door again, threatening to shoot him. Little did she know she was blowing his cover. He had to get her out of harm's way without succumbing to his desire to take her on a hot trip down memory lane.

But Lily has no intention of going anywhere with Mac, which means he'll have to resort to kidnapping. Unless she agrees to let him take her for the kind of ride destined to drive them both unbelievably wild.


"This was the wild life, the madness she's always wanted, needed with Mac.  No one else had ever been able to give it to her.  Only Mac could give her what she craved."

RIDING ON INSTINCT

Wild Riders # 3
by Jaci Burton

"Hot, sexy, romantic suspense at its best"(New York Times bestselling author Lora Leigh) from the national bestselling author of Riding Temptation.

Department of Justice agent Shadoe Grayson is out to prove she's no rookie, and eagerly accepts her first undercover assignment at a strip club in New Orleans. Working with the Wild Riders, a government agency of bad boy bikers, her goal is to expose a corrupt DEA agent. All she has to do is learn to strip like a pro.

Standing in Shadoe's way is arrogant and smokin' hot Spencer King, her new partner and one of the Wild Riders. Spence thinks she looks more like a schoolteacher than a stripper, and doubts her ability to do the job. But when he mockingly challenges Shadoe to strip just for him, he finds out there's more to the surprisingly sexy agent than by-the book rules and Government Issue pantsuits...


"You heard me." He pulled the chair around and sat in it.  "I'm a paying customer.  Strip for me."
Spence's gaze followed her, and she teased him with a roll of her hip near his shoulder, barely grazing him.  Emboldened by the sudden flash of heat in his eyes, she took it further, dragging the hem of her T-shirt up, baring the skin of her belly.

RIDING THE EDGE
Wild Riders # 4
(in Nauti and Wild anthology)
by Jaci Burton

Two bestselling authors join forces in this pair of new stories of hot men, fast motorcycles, and the women who ride both.

They ride into town straddling 73 cubic inches of throbbing horsepower, and hook up with the kind of women made for high speed handling...

#1 New York Times bestselling author Lora Leigh revisits her sultry Southern landscape with a story of a good girl gone bad. But she's not the only one going down that road...

Jaci Burton, the national bestselling author of Riding Wild and Riding Temptation, lets loose in a story of a hot biker hired to keep an eye on the reckless daughter of a Nevada senator. She's hooked up with a rival biker gang--a dangerous move that makes the wild beauty more vulnerable than she imagined...

Ava blinked, forcing her eyes to adjust to the sudden light.  Rick stood in front of her, bare-chested, his jeans unzipped all the way.  She swallowed - or tried to - but found nothing to coat her throat.  Da-yum.  The man before her was a god, pure and simple.  Tall, well muscled, bronzed, and gorgeous, with the kind of wicked smile that could make a woman hope and pray that he was thinking about her.  Her gaze traveled down his chest, the wall of muscle at his abdomen, to the dark line of hair that led down to the hidden place where his jeans lay open.

RIDING THE NIGHT

AJ and Pax are undercover operatives for a government agency of bad-boy bikers known as the Wild Riders.

With no proof and Teresa as the only eyewitness, AJ, Pax, and Teresa point their Harleys toward the annual bike rally in South Dakota in hot pursuit of the real killer, and Teresa discovers a passion that brings both men to their knees.


A normal woman would have died to be in the same room with these two men.
A normal woman would have.

Romance Rewind: A Day with the Hathaways

The Hathaways by Lisa Kleypas
How you know you are a humongous Lisa Klepas fan:

(1) Reread all her books obsessvly avidly;
(2) Have daydreamed about all her heroes;
(3) Have a fangirl scream-dance release day routine perfected.

We have all the above ticked off and feel no shame, and although we can no longer do (3) for the Hathaways as it is a complete series, number (1) and (2) are still going strong (especially (2)) Like all LK's romances the Hathaway series is well written, funny and romantic, reading each one is like meeting up with your friends and family and settling in to watch the romance blossom.

The reading order is below with a small quote to entice you further!

Book One: Mine Till Midnight

“The Rom believe you should take the road that calls to you, and never turn back. Because you never know what adventures await. So we're going to take this road," he murmured, "and see where it leads.”

Book Two: Seduce Me at Sunrise

“All the fires of hell could burn for a thousand years and it wouldn't equal what I feel for you in one minute of the day. I love you so much there is no pleasure in it. Nothing but torment. Because if I could dilute what I feel for you to the mil­lionth part, it would still be enough to kill you. And even if it drives me mad, I would rather see you live in the arms of that cold, soulless bastard than die in mine."

Book Three: Tempt Me at Twilight

“In the fairy tale you mentioned last night, I would probably be the villain. But it's possible the villain would treat you far better than the prince would have.”

Book Four: Married by Morning

“You are not a perfect woman. You have an evil temper, you’re as blind as a mole, you’re a deplorable poet, and frankly, your French accent could use some work.” Supporting himself on his elbows, Leo took her face in his hands. “But when I put those things together with the rest of you, it makes you into the most perfectly imperfect woman I’ve ever known.”

Book Five: Love in the Afternoon

“Beatrix, do you know what happens to girls who ask such naughty questions?”
“They’re ravished in haylofts?” she inquired hopefully.

Romance Rewind: Looking for your Dream Man?

Romance Rewind: Looking for your Dream Man?



A commando, an undercover agent, a cop and a biker walk in to a bar...I know it sounds like the beginning of a joke, but it is infact the start of Kristen Ashley's agent, a cop and a biker walk in to a bar...I know it sounds like the beginning of a joke, but it is infact the start of Kristen Ashley's agent, a cop and a biker walk in to a bar...I know it sounds like the beginning of a joke, but it is infact the start of Kristen Ashley's agent, a cop and a biker walk in to a bar...I know it sounds like the beginning of a joke, but it is infact the start of Kristen Ashley's agent, a cop and a biker walk in to a bar...I know it sounds like the beginning of a joke, but it is infact the start of Kristen Ashley's Dream Man series. Kristen Ashley's books have become a bit of an obsession for me of late and for VERY good reason; they are awesome. Her Dream Man series is no different choc full of testoterone jacked ALPHA (yes it deserves capitals!) men and the women with the lady balls to take them on it is well worth the read! To entice you to read further, I thought I would go visual, so feast your eyes on the above mentioned ALPHAs!









Nuff said.

Romance Rewind: Sweet series by Maya Banks

ROMANCE REWIND: THE SWEET SERIESMaya Banks dabbles in many subgenres within romance however, if you haven’t read her SWEET series than you are missing out! These hotter than hell books pushes the erotica romance boundaries and make for an interesting and sizzling summer read that we are sure you would enjoy. For a little tease, we are going to show you our favorite panty-melting quotes from each book to entice you further! But be warned, these aren’t for virgin eyes *winks*


SWEET SURRENDER


"And what is it you want?"
His voice, buttery smooth, glided over her body, removing the awkward vulnerability and leaving vague arousal in its stead.
She licked her lips as he walked around the bed to take her other arm.
"I'm waiting," he said as he secured her other hand.
"Control," she said simply. "A man's dominance."


SWEET PERSUASION
“You'll call me Damon. I see no need for dramatic titles. I, on the other hand will call you beautiful, lover, mine. I'll call you mine."
SWEET SEDUCTION


“I’ve tried doing this your way,” he growled. “I’ve tried being patient, understanding, gentle even. I didn’t want to come across as some knuckles-dragging-the-ground Neanderthal because I was afraid you’d run hard in the other direction. Ha! Well, I’m done with that. This time we’re doing it my way.”


SWEET TEMPTATION
“Don’t go easy, Micah. I don’t need you to. Please. I need you to go hard.”
In answer to her plea, he gripped her ass and used his thumbs to part the cheeks. The motion stretched her even tighter around his cock and they both moaned.
“get ready then, baby. I’m going to ride you hard.”
She closed her eyes and began stroking herself again as he rammed into her. Hard, fast, deep.

SWEET POSSESSION


"I want inside you, Lyric," he whispered. "I love your mouth, but I want you in my arms, your body wrapped around mine while I dive so deep that we lose ourselves in each other."


SWEET ADDICTION
He came to a full stop when he saw her. She shivered at the sudden fire in his eyes. Loved how he reacted, loved that she could incite such a reaction from this tightly controlled man.
“Do you have underwear on?”
She lowered her lashes provocatively and murmured a shy, “Yes.”
She watched him from underneath her ashes, knowing he loved it when she played coy. As much as he revered the strong, confident, woman she was, he was turned on when she decided to play the shy virgin.
“Show me.”

Romance Rewind: Travises by Lisa Kleypas


Romance Rewind: Trailing the Travises

It would be a travisty (haha, see what I did there! *pats self on back*) if you haven't read this excellent series by Lisa Kleypas. This was her first venture in to contemporary romance after writing many many amazing Historical Romances, some of the best in the genre in fact, and we are pleased to say we thought it a resounding success! If you haven't read this series here is the reading order and one of our favourite quotes from each each to entice you!

Book 1- Sugar Daddy

“The span of three or four minutes is pretty insignificant in the scheme of things. People lose hundreds of minutes everyday, squandering them on trivial things. But sometimes in those fragments of time, something can happen you'll remember the rest of your life.”







"I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.”






“One glance and I knew exactly who and what he was. The classic alpha male, the kind who had spurred evolution forward about five million years ago by nailing every female in sight. They charmed, seduced, and behaved like bastards, and yet women were biologically incapable of resisting their magic DNA.”






I actually used the UK covers to show this series as I think they are so much prettier! I hope we have tempted you to give this trilogy a try!

Eagerly Anticipating...The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games
by Suzanne Collins

Is anyone else excited about the Hunger Games film coming out this month? We certainly are! We have been watching the trailers, speculating whether Josh Hutcherson will make a good Peeta Mallark (Damn straight he will!), whether the film will really be able to capture the atmosphere of the books (do we really want another Northern Lights/Golden Compass debacle? I think not) and so, we are going to be waiting eagerly with our popcorn outside the cinema door!

But lets have a refresh on the fantastic trilogy of books by Suzanne Collins on which the film is based on:


          Book 1- The Hunger Games


Book 3: Mockingjay

Romance Rewind: MacCarrick Brothers by Kresley Cole

Romance Rewind: The Highlander Edition


Most of us have heard of Kresly Cole's Immortals After Dark series but, did you know, before she started addicting us to her lickable Lykae and delicious demons that she has also written some historicals? And not just any historicals, but highlander ones? The mighitest of all historicals, the men in the sexiest skirts with the best accents ever to grace the pages of a book. To demonstarte, we have a visual aid to the right!

So we girls at UTC recommend that you start Kresley Cole's amazing MacCarrick Brother trilogy. The trilogy is about three HIGHLANDER brothers, who have an ancient celtic curse on them, but will true love overcome the deadly curse? We recommend you read and find out!Here is the reading order for the trilogy with our thoughts on each book:



If You Dare (MacCarrick Brothers #1)

Suzanne: All I can say is that COURTLAND MACCARRICK is MINE! I love the rugged ones, and he is a gorgeously ruggedly handsome mercenary just looking for a lady to love him *waves hands in air* oh oh pick me pick me!

Annie: A great read! I loved the clashes between Anna and Court, they were both stubborn and they sparked really well against eachother, and I couldn't help but thoroughly enjoy being caught in the flames! This book was hawt!



If You Desire (MacCarrick #2)


Annie: I preferred Hugh over Courtland, but both brothers seem pretty irresistible to me. Hugh is a little more polished than his brother, Court and he definitely has a better sense of control over his feelings. What I loved most about Hugh was his overall effort in everything he does. Like Jane’s father said, Hugh tries.


Suzanne: Aww, Hugh, what a sweetheart although Jane did strike me as a little bit of a cock tease. However, I really enjoyed the romance between them and I read this book in one sitting!


If You Deceive (MacCarrick Brother #3)

Suzanne: Wow, if you like your heroes dark and smoudering, this is the book for you! Although Courtland is always my man, I have to say she has saved the best book for last. Ethan is intense and dangerous with a dark past. Madeleine is a fantastic heroine, I really liked her feisty yet caring and loyal with an equally murky past. This trilogy ends with a fabulous book and I can't help wishing that Kresley Cole would pop out some more historicals for us!




I hope we have sufficiently enticed you into bed with these sexy, and did I mention, Highlander, hunks! It is  fantastic series leaving you hot and bothered, and planning a trip to Scotland...

Romance Rewind: The Fantasy Edition

Romance Rewind: The Study Series by Maria V Snyder

Okay, so strictly speaking these aren't entirely romance, more like fantasy/young adult/romance, but this mixture of romance and adventure in a brand new and interesting world ruled by might and magic is very exciting. If you haven't read much fantasy before it is a great starting point and if you have it is a worthy addition to your fantasy collection.

So below is the reading order with a link to my review and a favourite quote from the book to whet your appetite!

Book One: Poison Study
Review

Poisoned, pursued and living with a psychopath. Not what I would consider the good life. Death has its perks.




 

Book Two: Magic Study
Review

"When I carved this, my thoughts were on you, love. Your life is like this snake's coils. No matter how many turns it makes, you'll end up back where you belong. With me."






Book Three: Fire Study
Review
  
There's always another storm. It's the way the world works. Snowstorms, rainstorms, windstorms, sandstorms, and firestorms. Some are fierce and others are small. You have to deal with each one separately, but you need to keep an eye on whats brewing for tomorrow

Romance Rewind: The Magnus Pack by Shelly Laurenston

Romance Rewind: Biker Werewolves

Combining two of our favourite things at Under the Covers; sexy werewolves with really big, vibrating.....engines is The Magnus Pack trilogy by the amazing Shelly Laurenston. Involving psychotic crazy women with friendships that only death will get them out of and some seriously hot biker werewolves it is a must read for Paranormal Romance fans, especially if you are looking for something to make you laugh like a loon and leave a massive grin on your face.

To entice you further here are the books with our fantasy cast of the couple and a little quote to give you a taster!

Book 1: Pack Challenge- Sara & Zach

Favorite Quotes:

"I'm only trying to help you along. The guy is all over you and you need to let him know your're interested before some other biker slut, such as yourself, snaps him up with a well-timed blow job.”

"Is this you being all in charge?" 
"Where you're concerned, I am in charge." 
"Are you happy in your land of delusions? Are you king there?"


Book 2: Go Fetch!- Miki & Conall

Favorite Quotes:

“I'm not looking for marriage here, Zach. I just want to fuck her until one of us dies.”

“Conall checked his watch. Again. Soon his personal wet fantasy would be here. He wondered if it would be inappropriate to tackle her in the hallway as soon as she arrived and drag her up to his bedroom. Probably. Damn human etiquette.”


Book 3: Here Kitty, Kitty!- Angelina &Nik

Favorite Quotes:

“We're a 'we' now?"
 "I thought I made that clear the other night when I tied you face down to the bed and fucked ya proper.” 

 Nik walked toward her, water dripping down every long, wonderful inch of him. With his long legs, it took him no time to reach her chair. He crouched down next to her and gently, with one of those big hands, closed her mouth.
“Catchin’ flies, sugar?”
