Good girls finish first.....


Safe House (Steel Infidels Biker MC Romance)


This book was provided to me as an advanced reading copy


This is such a good book, from beginning to end. In fact, I declare that this is the best work that Dez Bryant has written. Let me start with the she-ro. Kendra is an amazing character, funny, smart (the right kind of smart) and relatable. I love when a writer gets women right. Oh yeah, she’s a curvy girl as well that NEVER complain about her shape. Novels are written for the drama of the story, leaving the characters to fit into a specific mold. Too many females say that they are strong and tough, but end up making really dumb decisions. The kind that have me yelling at my book or deleting the book from my ipad before finishing cause I’m so fed up. But Kendra was great. She was smart, didn’t get bullied, and didn’t stand in her own way of finding love. Thanks Dez.
The Hero, Flint. Even his name is sexy. And those piercing green eyes…. Yeah, his picture was painted with the right amount of brush strokes.

The bad: I need more! My girl turns out to be ride or die chick, (Yes, this has a clifhanger ending) I need to find out more.

Fav line: "What? she said self-consciously. "Is something wrong" No, everything is perfect," Flint replied. "I'm memorizing how beautiful you look so I can sketch you later when I'm alone."

Overall: I would recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy an action packed story or an action packed romance. Or, an action packed romance with a LOT of love on a curvy woman.

You can purchase this book on the following sites:
Amazon, goodreads, Barnes and Noble

Reading.....

I love George R.R. Martin. The way he can string together a few words and paint a picture in my head amazes me. I am a full on fangirl when it comes to reading his fire and ice series; I spout family words, recognize sigils and argue conspiracy theories with fellow fans boys and girls.

Knowing how much I enjoy his writing has led me to his other works and short stories which often combine paranormal and science fiction. His Fevre Dream is a great read with an interesting take on vampirism. His short story, skin walker from Night Visons 5 is supposedly one of the best werewolf tales ever written. So, I being the obsessive fangirl, black girl nerd, or BGN have been on the hunt for this book since I finished the last S.4.F.&I, almost two years ago.

NV5 is not offered on Kindle and I am completely opposed to ever buying an actual book again. One, I really hate dusting and having books on my shelves just makes more work. Two, I like that I can carry my books with me wherever I go in case I need to re-read a passage, or Hulk out on some loser that challenges my knowledge of a particular book. Three, I hate all the necessities that go along with reading a physical book, like light (Kindle HD has a backlight), turning noisy pages (hubby complains that I'm making too much noise) and the inevitable stain that ruins the pages. Yes, I eat and read. Don't JUDGE!

So.......

I finally found the story in a George RR anthology, Dreamsongs II and the library let me borrow it! Yay!! Fist pumps and happy dance!!! "No, I'm not having seizure" Hubby asks me the strangest questions sometimes :)
