So I was out of town last weekend and didn't have a chance to build the Reading Radar before I left. I have a couple of #read since I listened to a couple of audiobooks while driving. :)
Series: (Leather & Chrome Book 1)
Author: Kiki Clark
Length: 264 pages
Genre: Romance / Contemporary / Motorcycle Club / Gay /
Notes: I bought the audiobook on a whim. It's been a while since I read a MC book and the sample had me hooked. There is very little MC life in this and is more about their relationship. How they meet and grow together as they figure things out. There is a light daddy/boy play here, and even though it starts out with Tank getting out of prison, it is not dark. It's angst free and a little sex heavy. I don't normally ready the daddy/boy trope because the daddies are usually alphaholes. Tank is a nurturing alpha, which I'm all for. There is a little possessiveness, but it wasn't toxic. I really enjoyed the book and got more caught up in it than I thought I would. I'm looking forward to the next book.
Blurb: Ride hard. Love harder. Live recklessly.
Tank is done with his old life. All it's brought him is trouble and misery in the form of a four-year prison term. Though he did find one good thing while behind bars: Charles "CJ" Crane, pen pal extraordinaire.
After months of exchanging increasingly personal letters, Tank knows exactly where he's headed as soon as the prison gates open. CJ doesn't know he's coming, and he's not sure what he'll say when he gets there, but he knows one thing for certain.
The promises he and his boy made to each other in their letters may have been reckless, but he's willing to risk everything he’s got on finding out if what they have could be real.
Reckless is the first book in the Leather & Chrome series and features a motorcycle club's annual charity ride, a possessive biker whose new favorite color is pink, a twenty-four-year-old overly eager to experience his first time, and an excessive appreciation for perfectly lined tattoos.

Title: Wolf Shunned
Series: The Alpha Queen Legacy, 1
Author: Laurel Night
Length: 248 pages
Genre: Romance / Slow Burn / Dystopia / Paranormal / Shifters / RH
Notes: I started this on the way back home and gotta say that what I got through is really good. I wanna say, that it's probably one of the better RH romances that I've read in a while... but I'm going to hold onto that until I finish the book. I've read books that start out strong like this one has but it lost it's appeal half way through. I've not read this author before so I'm not sure what to expect.
Blurb: It’s amazing to be a powerful wolf… if you’re male.
Love isn’t everything, I know; but even the most powerful she-wolf submits to her mate. If you can’t be beaten, you can’t be mated.
And an unmated wolf has no place in the pack.
My one hope is the clan gathering in the Blackwood Fortress. Every wolf in the continent attends, and a few seriously sexy wolves catch my eye. I’m bound to find at least one who can match me, right?
Then there’s my other problem: My pack leader is a grade-A jerk. After treating me like a genetic freak my whole life, he suddenly decides to stake a claim. But I can’t refuse the challenge, and my wolf won’t back down. Either I submit to the pack leader and become mated to his skeezy pelt, or I win the challenge and my freedom… by taking his place as pack leader.
Only no one has ever heard of a female pack leader, and if I become one, I’ll never find a mate.
Wolf Shunned is the first book in The Warrior Queen Legacy, featuring a badass heroine, a dystopian fantasy world, and loads of sexy wolf shifters. Be warned: This is a slow burn romance in which the heroine keeps all of her men. Once you pick this story up, you won’t be able to stop devouring it until the very last page.
The Warrior Queen Legacy is now a complete series!

Notes: I've been eyeing this series for a while. Book one is only $0.99 for the ebook. Since I wasn't sure what I wanted to listen to on the trip, I bought the audio for backup, just in case. I didn't crack this open yet but I'm sure that I will soon.

Unsure of whom she can trust, she has no choice but to rely on Lilith, heir of the Will-O-Wisp clan. Samantha has to earn her protection by solving a missing person's case that could change the future.
If she doesn't succeed, she'll pay with her life.
