My Thoughts:

I have to disagree with Psalm Kopolove about her assessment of dogs and alarms.  My dog hated to get up in the morning.  I was her alarm clock but she always grumbled when it was time to get up so I would let her sleep until it was almost time for me to go to work.  One thing that impressed me about Psalm was that she’s one of those heroes that fosters dogs.  I like the idea but don’t see how you can do it and have a full-time job that requires so much of your time.  Something else I liked was part of her morning routine.  I would love to shadow her sometime.

Jason “Blue” Davis is a man who’s struggling.  He tries to protect those that need it but you can see his frustration when it comes to those he cares about.  One such frustration was a b*tchy woman that our author was very good at creating.  You know how creative she is when I want two minutes alone with said character.  But she also does a good job at pulling at my heartstrings.  She creates two smaller characters that you want to wrap your arms around.

When you see the title of the series you think, “MC romance”.  But this is so much more.  Blue’s family heads an MC but his life is the opposite of what you would expect a son to have.  And that’s one thing I loved about this book because I get the unexpected.  It held my attention and had me looking forward to seeing what’s around the next corner.  Plus there was a certain someone that I wanted to see get their just desserts.

I really came to care for Psalm as I got to know her better.  She does so much for dogs and has a job that makes people happy.  And knowing that she wants a certain someone, you keep your fingers crossed that her heart speaks loud enough for his to hear.  I also liked that the author made me wait for it too.  She took her time to develop her characters and their storyline first.  And the ending couldn’t have been any better – one last tug of the heart.

Give Me Books Presents: Stud by M.L. Nystrom; #ReleaseBoost, #NowAvailable, #OutNow, #OnSale, #Limited Time

Title: Stud
Series: Dragon Runners #2

Author: ML Nystrom

Publisher: Hot Tree Publishing
Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: June 23, 2018

Blurb:

Bold and brash, Eva MacAteer has spent her life working in her blue-collar family’s construction business. In doing so, she’s had to fight for her own place away from her overbearing father, as well as for her own identity as a woman. Struggling between her loyalty to her brothers and her desire to strike out to be her own person, Eva knows one thing for certain: getting involved with a womanizer, no matter how hot he may be, is not the path for her. 

Stud is not one to be tied down to any woman. Fiercely loyal to the club and his single ways, the last thing he expects is to become fascinated by the fiery Eva. He sees his own life reflected in hers and is not quite sure how to handle the connection.

Can two mismatched people find enough common ground to overcome their fears and allow love to grow?

My Thoughts:

Eva MacAteer may be trying to find her way in the family business but she can hold her own.  One bad thing about a family business can be the family themselves.  Having grown up with three brothers I can feel Eva’s pain.  Her job puts her in the same place as Mute – make sure to check out his story.  Stud’s a player in more ways than one.  In this instance my reference has music in it.  So if you love country music, why not have it playing in the background.

I think these are people that really need each other.  Eva needs someone who will show her the world outside the business.  Stud needs her to show him that with the right woman you don’t always try to find the best next thing – which can get you in trouble.  This story will also make you fall in love with the group as a whole.  It was interesting to see how impressed the guys of the MC seemed to be with Eva. 

This is a book where you just may have a good time.  Eva will have you laughing and Stud will have you wanting to hum along.  Being summertime, I found myself wanting to pack a picnic lunch and go find a comfortable spot, with just a little shade, and sit and read this latest Dragon Runners story.  And with this time of year it’s likely that I’ll hear a motorcycle or two to add to the ambiance.

Again, this story is told from the point of view of the woman that ends up with the “hero” of our story.  I find that an interesting choice but I didn’t mind it either.  We still know what Stud’s thinking but get more of Eva’s perspective on things.  You have to feel sorry for Eva when it comes to all the men in her life but I liked the fact that the Dragon Runners , as well as their women, had no problem in bringing her into their family.  What I loved about the ending was like the rest of the story - it got me to laugh.  So can’t wait for book three – how is our author going to top this one.
