Summary: Alpha (noun): 

1) Having the highest rank in a dominance hierarchy 

2) The most powerful man in a group 

3) Liam Black 

He was a stranger to me, a dark and dangerous presence who materialized from the shadows one rainy night to save me from a vicious attack. I didn’t know his name or where he was from. All I knew was that the only place I’d ever felt safe was in his arms. 

But safety is an illusion. 

And not every savior is a hero. 

And—as I’d soon find out—having an alpha save your life comes with a price. 

Liam Black wanted something from me in return. 

Review: I absolutely loved Liam. I did hit a bit of a snag at 40% when I had a hard time getting past one of Truvy's part. I really liked her at first she was so strong and determined. Then it got to where I am stuck and she is aloof and indecisive. I hope this part ends soon as I really love JT's writing. I got about 24% further into the book and unfortunately it didn't really pick back up for me. My biggest difficulty was Tru. I loved Declan and Liam but Tru just never went back to how she was in the start of the book. I did really enjoy the end of the book as well. You learn a lot in that last 20%. I wish it hadn't been smushed together. I can't wait to get started on Killian's story.

Review: Broken Sparrow by Chelle Bliss

Summary: A chance encounter. An unlikely hero.

Morris has always dedicated himself to his brothers in the MC, choosing the freedom of the open road over the monotony of family life. But a chance encounter with a single mother on the run causes his protective alpha instincts to kick into overdrive.

Alice Sparrow thought she had planned her escape perfectly, but everything that could go wrong, did. Bank account emptied. Broken-down car. No place to stay. But when she bumps into a handsome biker, she doesn’t have the luxury of walking away from his help, especially when she must keep her daughter safe.

What is supposed to be a simple act of kindness quickly turns into something bigger and more complicated than either expects…especially when it comes to matters of the heart.

Broken Sparrow is a steamy age-gap, single mother, hot biker standalone romance that's guaranteed to bring the steam and the feels.

Review: I loved Morris and Lia and honestly like 98% of the characters. I wasn't such a fan of Alice though. She wasn't as bad as some h's tend to be in her situation  but there was just something that rubbed me the wrong way in the beginning half of the book. I definitely feel like this book was way too short. But I can't wait to read more by Chelle, she's a new to me author. So back to Morris, he is my favorite kind of MC character. Looks like a total hardass on the outside but on the inside he is as sweet and understanding as can be. He puts his all in for those he cares about. This is a book I totally wouldn't mind if it was a series.
