I did NOT know this was a cliffhanger when I read it. I got to the end and was almost in tears – some might have welled up – because I wasn’t ready for it to end! So I NEED book 3 NOW!!
London and Loïc (I still love his name) are happily in their new relationship, doing what couples do and having a great time. Preparing for Loïc to deploy shortly but trying not to think of the impending departure.
Loïc is so happy with London and it’s obvious that he’s glad he took the chance on getting involved with her even knowing that he’d be deploying. Their relationship is just so truly sweet and makes you a bit envious of it. Oh, just me? Moving on….
As I said, a HUGE cliffhanger I was NOT expecting but I do understand the natural breaking point. I won’t give you spoilers because I hate those people but just be prepared to feel all the feels! And possibly a tear or two. Ok that’s ALL I’m saying!
When do I get book 3??? I NEED book 3!!!!

About RAVAGE ME
After spending the last two years stuck behind bars for a crime she didn’t commit, Harlow ‘Princess’ Gavelson’s time inside has finally come to an end, and she’s ready for revenge. Unfortunately, being the daughter to the Vice President of the Ravage Motorcycle Club cuts into her plans, as orders must be followed. Trying to settle back into this life is proving difficult when the tables are turned and the woman who framed her is out for blood. Lucky for Princess, growing up in a MC has taught her how to hold her own.
After spending years in hell overseas, Donavon ‘Cruz’ came home to lose the very thing he went into hell for, sending him to the darkest moments of his life. Joining Ravage two years ago was his safe haven, and he protects his family at all costs.
When a dark-haired bombshell struts into the club’s shop, he’s caught off guard but immediately knows she’s the one he’d do anything for. Tough as nails, and taking no crap from anyone, he’s captivated by a woman who could handle this life. Trying to meet the needs of the MC business and follow his heart proves to be difficult when the two collide, and lives are at stake.
Can these two find a way to be together, or will the needs of Ravage cost them everything, including their lives?

Every hour, explosions rock the United States—without warning of where they will occur.
Big cities. Small towns. Rural back roads.
Sinister messages appear on computer screens across America, and the message is clear.
No one is safe…
– Not disgraced FBI agent Grant, awaiting his call back to the big time; – Not rapper Pal Joey, an international sensation; – Not savvy beauty Caitlin, the ultimate “Sin City” party girl; – Not even Naseem, the would-be martyr who helped plan the attacks.
As an unhinged mastermind paralyzes the country, all roads lead to Las Vegas, where unlikely heroes must put aside their differences and forge an alliance to stop the attacks before the passing hours bring down a Nation.
Can four people, united only by their hatred of a common enemy, stop …
Sabotage?
***
Sabotage takes you from many different vantage points through a series of domestic terror attacks. It moves fast, and was very fun to write. It has been very satisfying to turn it over to a small number of readers and gauge their response.
I have always loved the Beastie Boys, and, of course, who doesn’t love their song “Sabotage”? I had a trailer for a movie using that soundtrack in my head, but the story had never come together. One day, while boating on Lake of the Ozarks, I started seeing a story. It didn’t necessarily match up with the Sabotage trailer yet, but I eventually thought about using the new story along with what I had already written.
Sabotage is very different than my first novel, The Intern. There are some funny characters, but it’s not written for laughs in the way that book was. I also hope the reader enjoys the multiple points of view, male and female, and this obviously gives it a very different feel from my other book.
***
Dale Wiley is a Missouri attorney who has had a character named after him on CSI, owned a record label, been interviewed by Bob Edwards on NPR’s Morning Edition and made motorcycles for Merle Haggard and John Paul DeJoria. He has three awesome kids and spends his days working as a lawyer fighting big banks.
Some girls wore pink dresses and makeup, I wore sneakers and bruises.
I was a loner, stuck to myself because I was different, until Camden Steel moved next door.
I punched him in the mouth, and he saw me through rose colored glasses from that day on.
I had everything I ever wanted.
The boy next door, inspiring career… until I didn’t.
He hates me. I deserve that.
They say you have to fight for what you want… What they don’t tell you… is it’ll cost you more than you’re willing to give to reach the top.
Excerpt
Climbing off the bed I grab her by the ankle, jerking her to the edge of the bed roughly.
She jumps awake panicked. Her wild, frantic eyes finding mine.
“Camden, what the fuck?”
“I thought I made it clear I didn’t want you to move, I wanted you to sleep on me.” My voice hard and accusing, all the feelings I felt that morning after she left when I was eighteen surfacing. She jerks her foot, but I tighten my hold. “I wasn’t joking.”
Bending down I grab her by the hips and throw her naked body over my shoulder.
“What are you doing? Have you lost your mind?”
“I have, and it’s because I fell for the little girl next door when I was a fucking kid,” I bark.
Yanking the curtains to the floor to ceiling window open I set her down, her back facing me.
“Put your hands on the window,” I instruct harshly.
She obeys surprisingly, and looks over her shoulder. “What are you doing?”
“Fucking you.”
Spreading her ass cheeks I push the head of my dick into her quickly, needing to feel her now. She takes in a sharp breath, her fingers tensing against the glass as I shove into her with so much force her head bangs against the window.
My chest rising and falling rapidly, I caress the shell of her ear with my lips.
“I know what you’re thinking.”
Her forehead pressed against the window she turns it, looking me in the eye.
“What?”
“That I’m possessive, controlling, crazy.” I thrust into her hard and her mouth parts with pleasure. “You made me this way, you made me the crazy man that wants to love you.”
Pressing my back onto hers, I interlock our fingers on the window, my face in the crook of her neck.
“Let me love you, let me be the crazy motherfucker that loves you.”
She nods, her breath fogging the glass as I continue to thrust into her.
Don’t tell but I read Love Tap while at work today. But it was just too good! I had to see if Tate would succeed as an MMA fighter and win back Camden. Does she? I won’t tell 😉
Tatum aka Tate is a strong woman and in her mind, the ultimate outsider. As a little girl, she wants to fight and wrestle and earn her dad, a professional boxer’s, respect. Her mother just wants her to be a “proper girl” and play with dolls and wear dresses. That’s the last thing Tate wants. And she’s the same type of woman.
Camden knew Tate – and loved Tate – as the rough and tumble, bright, shining light who he had fun with as a boy and teenager. Camden becomes a professional fighter until events happen and he wants out. And about the same time, both Cam and Tate end up back at home.
I’ve never wanted to be an MMA fighter but this book just spoke to me. I could feel every bit of Tate’s impetus for her father’s approval, trying to get her family back together and just wanting to succeed at her life’s dream. I really felt the struggles she went through while training, fighting, and putting her family back together.
Amazing story!!

As the first anniversary of her marriage to Vice President Nick Cappuano approaches, Lieutenant Sam Holland is dreaming of Bora Bora—sun, sand and a desperately needed break from the DC grind. But real life has a way of intervening, and Sam soon finds herself taking on one of the most perplexing cases of her career.
Government worker Josh Hamilton begs Sam to investigate his shocking claim that his parents stole him from another family thirty years ago. More complicated still, his “father” is none other than the FBI director. When a member of Josh’s family is brutally murdered, Sam begins to question how deep this cover-up goes. Is it possible the revered director was part of a baby-napping ring and that others involved are also targets?
With a killer intent on deadly revenge and her team still reeling from a devastating loss, Sam’s plate is full—and when Nick and their son, Scotty, take ill, is her dream of a tropical anniversary celebration in peril too?

Synopsis: What would you do if on your way home from your boring work, all of a sudden a handsome stranger leaps into the back of your car and asks you to drive him to the airport?
Be terrified? Threaten him and hope he gets out and leaves you alone? Those were my first instincts as well.
There was something in his eyes, something in the words he said that made me pause though. What if this beautiful man really did need my help? What if my refusal meant not only that his safety hung in the balance, but that of the entire country? So I drove him to Heathrow Airport, and my adventure began…
MAN OF MYSTERY: BOOK TRAILER
EXCERPT: MAN OF MYSTERY
“Happy now?” I complain, while steering the car through the tight zig-zagging roads, heading for the other side of the housing estate. “Heathrow it is. What terminal?”
“Uhh…”
“Don’t tell me you don’t know? Do you have any idea how huge Heathrow is?” I exclaim.
“Give me a moment.”
I turn to find the stranger looking at a phone-type device, just fatter, like a handheld satnav thing for hikers. My ex had something similar he took on treks.
“Four. Terminal 4.”
“Great.” I put my foot down as I join the A30, all the while keeping an eye on my speedo which is close to touching fifty miles an hour. “How much time do we have?”
“Not much. Do your best,” he says, while giving me a quick pat on the shoulder. I don’t know whether it’s the adrenaline coursing through my body, or the fact that actually he’s pretty hot for a crazy person, but his touch has an instant effect on me. I must be losing my mind to let this guy affect me at all.
“Fine. But if I get a ticket, I’m telling them you drove. I’ve got six points on my licence already and the insurance company will have me over a barrel if I get more,” I ramble, my voice trembling slightly.
He lets out a chuckle and pats my shoulder again. “Deal. Now go.”
He was right, once I put my mind to it, our progress towards Heathrow has greatly improved. I know these roads like the back of my hand, even if I still compulsively slow down at the speed camera leading up to the Terminal 4 ramp. I’m in this now, whether I want to be or not, but still I’m not willing to blatantly speed through a speed trap.
“We’ll reach it soon, then what? Do I park up, or what?”
I check my mirror, seeing that he’s sitting upright now, staring out the rear window.
“Actually, let me out just there.” He points at the mini roundabout ahead of us. “The cargo is headed for flight SV118 departing for Riyadh at eighteen-fifty. I’m going to try and intercept it. Pull over.”
I slam on the brakes and turn to face him properly. His face is tense yet determined, as he gazes ahead through the metal fence surrounding the cargo area ahead of us.
“What’s your name?” he asks, leaning forward and making eye contact again.
“Tess…” I mumble, severely distracted by the green depths in front of me again. Shit, why do I have a knack for attracting crazies? He’s handsome though, the strong jawline, dark brown hair and symmetrical features are practically perfect. He could be a model, or an actor. Could all this just be an act?
“Tess. I know I’m asking a lot of you, but your country needs you.” He pauses, his eyes lingering on my lips for a moment. “We can’t let the plane leave. Give me your phone.”
I hand it to him without protest. How is it that his eyes can hypnotise me like this? Shit, I must be desperate to be so easily distracted by a handsome guy in a suit. Once all this is over, I’m going to get Maggie to set me up with someone. She’s been offering for weeks.
The stranger types a number into my phone and hits ‘dial’, then gives it back to me.
“I need you to go into the terminal and keep an eye on the departures board. If I’m successful, it will show up as delayed. If not, then you’ll see its status change to ‘boarding’ at around eighteen-twenty. If that’s the case, I need you to call in a bomb threat to shut down the terminal. Do you understand?” He reaches out for my cheek, caressing it with the back of his finger and causing even more upheaval inside my stomach. This has got to be a dream, even if it feels totally real.
I nod though. If the plane boards, I call the airport with a bomb threat. Sounds easy.
“Wait, why don’t you just report a bomb threat anyway? Why go through all this nonsense?” I ask.
He smiles briefly, pulling his hand back. “If I go in by myself, I may be able to detain some of the people involved. They may have intel. If I call it in now and the airport gets shut down, they’ll run and we may never know who was behind it.”
That makes sense, I guess.
I nod. “Fine. I’ll go in.”
“I’ll be in touch if it went well.”
“And if not?” I ask.
“Chances are, then I’ll be dead.”
